Chapter 963: Battling Qin Yi Again

King of All Phases, Chapter 969: Battling Qin Yi Again. Clang.

When Qin Yi spoke those words, Li Luo knew that a clash with her was unavoidable, so he immediately drew his Golden Jade Profound Elephant Blade, its mottled, ancient blade surface shimmering with a faint, chilling light.

"Although I crossed paths with Fairy Qin during the Dragon Pool Contest, the situation was special back then, and I couldn't truly experience the power of your Lower Ninth-Grade Water Phase. Today, I have finally waited for this opportunity," Li Luo said with a smile, his demeanor showing not a hint of fear.

There was no major conflict between Li Luo and Qin Yi, but the deep-seated grudges of the previous generation naturally spilled over to their own.

Following her mother's orders, Qin Yi could not possibly coexist peacefully with Li Luo. Moreover, given Qin Lian's arrogance, she had likely ordered Qin Yi to find an opportunity to thoroughly crush Li Luo into the dust, letting countless people in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent know that her, Qin Lian's, bloodline was stronger than that of Li Taixuan and Dan Tai Lan.

Although Li Luo did not want to be at odds with Qin Yi, Qin Lian wanted to use him as a stepping stone to insult and attack Li Taixuan and Dan Tai Lan. As their son, Li Luo naturally could not retreat or yield.

Otherwise, when Jiang Qinge eventually arrived in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent and learned that he had been suppressed by the daughter of Li Taixuan and Dan Tai Lan's enemy, she would likely beat Li Luo up first before going to deal with Qin Yi.

Because Jiang Qinge had always held Li Taixuan and Dan Tai Lan in the utmost respect, she could not tolerate anyone insulting them, let alone doing so by suppressing Li Luo.

Therefore, in order to hold his head high in front of Jiang Qinge in the future, Li Luo knew that no matter who he lost to, he absolutely could not lose to Qin Yi.

Otherwise, his status in the household would inevitably plummet.

By then, his mother might even look at him with disdain and suggest: "What a useless son; why don't we just kick him out of the Luo Lan Mansion?"

Thinking of this, Li Luo couldn't help but shiver.

Then, a hint of ruthlessness entered his gaze as he looked at Qin Yi; to protect his household status, he would have to be ruthless to this flower.

Opposite him, Qin Yi noticed the change in Li Luo's expression and felt a bit strange, naturally unaware of the complex mental journey Li Luo had just undergone in these short moments.

However, she did not care.

As the most outstanding member of the current generation of the Qin Heavenly King lineage, she possessed absolute confidence in herself. Looking across the current generation of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, she, Qin Yi, feared no one.

Not Zhao Shen of the Zhao Heavenly King lineage, nor Jiang Wanyu of the Heavenly Origin Ancient Academy.

Although Li Luo had risen with astonishing speed within the Li Heavenly King lineage during this period, Qin Yi still had the confidence to complete the task Qin Lian had given her.

After all, no matter what methods Li Luo possessed, he was ultimately still only at the Extreme Evil Realm. Qin Yi did not doubt he had the strength to defeat a Two-Star Heavenly Pearl Realm expert while crossing realms, but unfortunately... crossing realms to defeat an enemy was not Li Luo's exclusive privilege.

A pearly white light radiated from Qin Yi's beautiful face, making her appear even more ethereal. She raised her slender jade hand, and two brilliant Heavenly Pearls emerged behind her.

Those two Heavenly Pearls were a deep azure color, bright and eye-catching. With the appearance of the Heavenly Pearls, the world seemed to become moist, and the water-attribute energy between heaven and earth surged in endlessly. Faintly, it seemed as if rushing water was manifesting behind Qin Yi.

Moreover, what was most striking was the jade-like body beneath Qin Yi's dress, which seemed to have water ripples flowing over it, appearing extremely profound.

That was the Derivative God-grade body-refining Marquis-sealing Art that Qin Yi practiced, the "Water Jade Flawless Body."

So, despite Qin Yi's delicate and fragile appearance, in terms of actual physical strength, it was likely even a notch stronger than Li Luo's "Nine-Scale Heavenly Dragon Battle Body."

Li Luo narrowed his eyes slightly; he could feel a trace of danger from Qin Yi. Strictly speaking, Qin Yi was likely even stronger than the "Li Taixuan energy projection" he had defeated at the Dragon Head Contest.

Boom!

The three Phase Palaces within Li Luo's body roared and vibrated at this moment, and rolling Phase Power whistled out like a torrent, transforming into dual-phase power that surged up over his body.

Within the majestic dual-phase power, spiritual marks swam like spirits, imbuing the Phase Power with spirituality.

"Nine-Scale Heavenly Dragon Battle Body!"

"Thunderous Body, Fourth-Layer Thunder Sound!"

In this instant, Li Luo simultaneously activated the Heavenly Dragon Battle Body and the Thunderous Body. His body roared incessantly, and a violent, formidable power surged forth from his flesh and blood.

Unleashing the Fourth-Layer Thunder Sound of the Thunderous Body was the limit of what Li Luo could currently achieve.

Feeling the terrifying power almost exploding within his flesh, Li Luo stomped his foot, instantly turning the hard bluestone floor into powder. His figure, accompanied by a sonic boom, appeared like lightning in front of Qin Yi.

With an expressionless face, he gripped the blade handle with both hands and slashed down.

"Third-Layer Elephant God Force!"

The violent blade light seemed to tear even the void, leaving behind dark, eerie traces. The ferocity of that strike was such that some Two-Star Heavenly Pearl Realm experts with weaker foundations would likely not dare to take it head-on.

However, there were no ripples in Qin Yi's beautiful eyes, which were as clear as a mirror lake. She pointed her jade finger into the air, and the void seemed to ripple with water waves. Within a single breath, a water mirror engraved with countless mysterious light patterns appeared before her.

Ripples spread rapidly within the water mirror, and the next instant, a violent and fierce blade light actually sprayed out from within it—a blade light identical to the one Li Luo had just unleashed.

Clearly, Qin Yi had replicated Li Luo's attack.

This was the most common method for those with a Water Phase: using water as a mirror to replicate attacks. It was just that Qin Yi's Lower Ninth-Grade Water Phase was particularly pure, making the replicated attack even more realistic.

Boom!

The two blade lights collided, and blade energy ravaged the area, instantly leaving the ground riddled with holes.

However, replication was ultimately just replication and could not possess the full power. Thus, after only a few breaths, Li Luo's blade light shattered the replicated one like dry wood, simultaneously blasting the water mirror into pieces.

The blade light poured down, aimed directly at Qin Yi's vitals.

Qin Yi extended her slender jade hand, upon which a faint green light flowed, making her perfect hand appear as if it were carved from green jade.

Marquis-sealing Art, Star-Plucking Green Jade Hand.

Qin Yi's green jade-like fingers flicked casually. It looked effortless, but in reality, even the void rippled gently beneath her fingers, showing just how astonishing the power contained within them was.

Clang! Clang!

The sharp, violent blade light collided continuously with the green jade fingers, emitting the sound of metal clashing as sparks flew wildly.

Yet, no matter how the blade light raged, it could not pierce the defense of the green jade hand and was completely neutralized.

Feeling the vibration transmitted back when the blade light rebounded, Li Luo's expression grew increasingly solemn. During the Dragon Pool Contest, he had only clashed with Qin Yi briefly, but looking at it now, it was clear that Qin Yi had not used all her methods back then.

Hum!

At this moment, the void in front of Li Luo suddenly shattered, and a green jade hand projection eerily broke through the air. This jade hand pierced through the blade light attack and appeared in front of Li Luo in a peculiar posture, its jade fingers descending to pluck directly at Li Luo's eyeballs.

This sudden attack was so fast that it was impossible to dodge, so the next moment, the green jade hand projection pierced directly into Li Luo's eyes.

However, at the very moment of impact, there was no blood spray; instead, Li Luo's figure gradually turned illusory.

This was an afterimage.

Qin Yi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She swept her gaze and saw that where Li Luo's figure had previously been, a trace of Water Phase power remained, and the water phase had formed a reflection to replace his true body.

"Water Phase power..."

Qin Yi's eyes flickered; she had almost forgotten that Li Luo also possessed a Water Phase, and it appeared he was particularly skilled with it as well.

Moreover, in her perception, that Water Phase power also contained a sacred force.

Was that... Light Phase power?

It was precisely through the combination of these two phase powers that Li Luo was able to use his Eighth-Grade Water Phase quality to manifest such a realistic afterimage.

"His phase power... it seems it's not just three phases?" A trace of suspicion flashed through Qin Yi's heart.

However, she could not think too much about it now, because at this instant, Li Luo's figure appeared like a ghost on her right side.

As he slashed down, the void shattered, leaving a crack.

The next moment, a black dragon exuding monstrous ferocity, riding upon chilling, pitch-black nether water, broke through the air and, with an extremely domineering momentum, slammed directly toward her position.

Qin Yi had seen Li Luo use this Marquis-sealing Art in the Dragon Pool.

Only this time, this Marquis-sealing Art seemed even more agile than before.

This is...

"A Great Accomplishment-stage Marquis-sealing Art?"

However, Li Luo's attack did not stop there. As the black dragon roared out, his figure flew backward, and the next instant, a large bow exuding an ancient, wild aura appeared in his hands.

Three-Purple-Eye Treasure, Heavenly Dragon Sun-Chasing Bow.

Li Luo truly had no intention of holding back.

He really wanted to achieve the feat of being ruthless to a flower today.
