It seemed like he was approaching the strength of a fourth-grade Duke at this point. It was so dazzling that even the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried from Jiang Qing'e had been overshadowed.
After all, a single Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried was only capable of resisting a third-grade Duke.
Li Luo raised his head and looked at the terrifying Duke Bergfrieds, frowning. "They really came prepared."
Fortunately, he had prepared himself amply as well.
He turned his head and smiled at Jiang Qing'e. "Sister Qing'e, do you have the item?"
Jiang Qing'e nodded. She stretched out her hand, and a drop of fresh blood could be seen in the middle of her palm. "This is the drop of blood that I obtained from Li Yuanshan earlier."
Her golden pupils locked onto Li Luo. She hesitated for a moment before she asked, "Are you going to use the Dragon Blood Affliction Art to hamper Li Yuanshan's power-up? It is indeed wondrous, but he is at a much higher cultivation level than you. You'll likely be susceptible to an immense backlash if it fails."
Li Luo smiled in response. "If we were fighting outsider Dukes, I wouldn't have dared to use this. However, I think it's worth a try since our opponents are from the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages. After all... whose fault is it that the Dragon's Blood Lineage developed such an insidious art for internal challenges?"
They had developed many Duke Arts that would use the purity of their blood to suppress the other four lineages. As such, they had always stood head and shoulders above the rest in any internal compet.i.tion as their emphasis had always been on the strength of their blood.
Hence, they had created the likes of the Dragon's Blood Judgment Art, the Dragon Blood Affliction Art, and so forth.
Additionally, experiencing Li Qingfeng's Dragon's Blood Judgment Art allowed Li Luo to understand that the purity of his Heavenly Dragon Blood was far superior to most elites in the Dragon's Blood Lineage. He definitely had the capability to use their art against them.
"Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, I still have other methods," Jiang Qing'e said softly.
Li Luo reached out and retrieved the drop of blood from Jiang Qing'e. He then took a glance at Li Yuanshan with redeemed interest.
Since they were using a secret art to boost their strength...
Who would come out victorious?
Would he manage to weaken them more, or would their combined bolstering effects be superior?
