Absolute Resonance Chapter 1207: Joining Hands to Counterattack

While Ox Biaobiao resisted with all his might, Li Rouyun's situation was no better. As she had to bring the trio along, she was unable to move at full. Additionally, the three enemy Dukes were no weaker than her and could easily catch up.

She frowned when she realized that Ox Biaobiao was facing an eighth-grade Duke. There was no way he could stop such a powerful foe for long.

However, the current situation did not allow her to worry about him right now. If she could break the pursuit, Ox Biaobiao would be able to find an opening to escape.

Additionally, Heavenly Dragon Peak was not far away, and if they could drag things on for a while, the disturbance here could alert them.

If their elites were mobilized, these ambushers would be forced to retreat.

Alas, evading the three pursuers with the trio in tow was no easy task.

Li Rouyun's gaze flickered as she looked at Jiang Qing'e. She seemed extraordinarily calm despite the situation, showing no hint of fear or worry. Her willpower was truly commendable.

"Qing'e, I will do my best to tie down two of them. Take Li Luo and Li Hongyou towards Heavenly Dragon Peak," Li Rouyun said in a gloomy tone.

Only Jiang Qing'e had reached the Duke Stage amongst them and thus could barely count as having the ability to escape.

Jiang Qing'e nodded.

"Aunt Yun, you have to be careful!"

Li Luo's expression turned sullen and his heart blazed with fury. He had never expected to encounter such a dangerous situation right after entering the World End's River region. An eighth-grade and three sixth-grade Dukes... This was truly an extravagant lineup. Even the Others they encountered in the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm could not compare.

Just who would dare to act against them?

World End's River City was full of dragons and snakes that mingled together. There were bloodthirsty Dukes everywhere, but even if they were crazy rogue cultivators, would they not look to profit from their actions?

Their group had just entered this place and did not possess any treasures, so why would rogue cultivators attempt to rob a Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li flying s.h.i.+p?

"Are they from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao?" Li Luo wondered. In the Spiritual Resonance Cave, he had essentially caused a blood feud between him and the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao. After that, the Divine Tiger King from their bloodline had clashed with Li Jingzhe. In the end, it was only with the Divine Phoenix King and the Dragon's Blood Lineage’s Lineage Chief’s intervention that things were resolved.

The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao's reserves could easily dispatch a group of such strength to ambush him.

"Or could it be Qin Lian from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing?" That mad woman hated his entire family intensely. If she had the opportunity to do so, she would definitely kill him.

Both parties had their own motives and were equally suspicious. Furthermore, the opponents before them had taken measures to hide their ident.i.ties. Even their resonant power undulations were masked, which was not too difficult to do for Dukes.

As he thought about all this, Li Rouyun pushed out with a single palm, and a gentle power ejected the trio outwards. She then turned and immediately began fighting, attempting to tie down the pursuers.

Six towering Duke Bergfrieds appeared as a black hole, ravenously devouring worldly natural energy.

Dense smoke wafted from the top of her Duke Bergfrieds, taking the form of a gigantic white-scaled dragon. It immediately unleashed a torrent of dragonbreath that possessed a bone-piercing chill. Everything that it pa.s.sed through froze.

The dragonbreath barrelled towards the three sixth-grade Duke opponents.

When they saw this, they snorted coldly. Their Duke Bergfrieds trembled, and majestic amounts of Divine Mist was emitted, transforming into a thunderous downpour with tempestuous winds. As lightning flashed and thunder boomed, it collided with the torrent of dragonbreath.

Bang!

The void shook when the four Dukes collided with earth-shattering prowess.

However, Li Rouyun was at a numerical disadvantage. The three Dukes easily neutralized her attack and one of them separated from the pack to give chase to the trio.

The remaining two stubbornly stuck to her, unwilling to let her go.

It was clear that they had taken control of the situation.

It was unlikely that three youths would escape from the grasp of a sixth-grade Duke after all.

The last Duke flashed forward, covering a distance of ten thousand feet in an instant and catching up to them.

There was a mocking look in his eyes, but his actions were quick.

Duke Bergfrieds rumbled and Divine Mist spread out, transforming into a sky-blotting, humongous hand that reached out towards the trio.

His expression was carefree. With his strength, it was overkill to deal with three such juniors.

But things did not go the way he had expected.

As the Divine Mist arm descended, a blinding burst of light flared up. The gigantic hand was knocked away and the three figures dashed out hurriedly.

This left the sixth-grade Duke stunned for a few breaths of time. He stared at the incomparably beautiful lady whose light resonant power was giving off scintillating light.

When he saw the Duke Bergfried above her, his eyes shook in shock. "Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried?"

There were ten heroic-looking ancient pillars that seemed capable of supporting the heavens themselves. It was an unbelievable sight.

As a sixth-grade Duke, he understood the implications of a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried. This lady had embarked upon the legendary Path of Ascension. She possessed unparalleled talent! What was she doing here?

"Where did this girl come from? Since when was there a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried in this generation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li?" the Duke thought to himself. This was news that was truly mind-boggling.

However, after a moment, killing intent welled up within him. She had unbelievable potential and was a member of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li; how could he let go of such an opportunity? If she were to cultivate another two or three Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfrieds, he wouldn't be her match even as a sixth-grade Duke!

This would undoubtedly be a threat to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing!

With this in mind, the sixth-grade Duke's gaze turned merciless. He no longer dared to hesitate, and the six Duke Bergfrieds above him trembled. It was then that a t.i.tanic archaic rune emerged from each one of them.

The Duke's Worlds.p.a.ce Domain was the signature of a high-grade Duke, whilst the Duke's Spirit Insignia was that of a middle-grade Duke.

"Duke's Spirit Insignia, Four Poles Golden PaG.o.da!"

After the six Spirit Insignias rushed into the sky, they teleported forward and appeared above the trio, transforming into a golden paG.o.da.

The paG.o.da descended, bringing down ma.s.sive pressure upon them.

Jiang Qing'e's gaze fell. She had a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, but she was still a first-grade Duke. As a result of the large gap between her and the opponent, she could feel a significant sense of oppression.

"Li Luo..."

Before Jiang Qing'e could finish speaking, Li Luo grinned at her. "You can't tell me to run away first."

Jiang Qing'e fell silent before she nodded. "Let's go together, then."

The Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried that was as dazzling as a gla.s.s mural burst forth with even more radiant light, and all of the light resonant power in the world surged towards her.

Li Hongyou smiled as well. "Let's go."

She formed a hand seal and blood flowed from her fingertips before quickly drawing two runes in the air.

"Crimson Heart Golden Seal!" A single seal was shot into Jiang Qing'e's body, strengthening her resonant power.

Since her Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit had reached the lower ninth-grade, Li Hongyou's Golden Seal had increased in efficacy.

The other Golden Seal landed on Li Luo.

The effect on him was even greater than on Jiang Qing'e. Strands of crimson light flowed within his body.

It was then that Li Luo sucked in a deep breath and transmitted his thoughts into his red bracelet.

"Five-Tails, time to wake up and fight for our lives!"

The slumbering Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf was awoken by Li Luo, though it was still a little muddle-headed. It had just a.s.sisted Li Luo in beating a third-grade True Devil and was still recuperating.

The sudden awakening caused the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf to feel a little annoyed. "You brat! You’re getting a little too irritating. You're only at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier, how do you keep getting into these sticky situations? What sort of strong opponent did you encounter now?"

Li Luo responded with an amused voice, "Nothing too amazing, just a sixth-grade Duke, that's all."

"Sixth-grade Duke!" The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf's shocked cry caused the crimson bracelet to shake. It couldn't help but stand up in the sealed s.p.a.ce. It quickly spread its senses out into the world and finally noticed the outrageous energy undulations coming from the sixth-grade Duke suppressing the group.

Even the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf almost had its hairs stand up in fright as it roared, "Brat! Don't you think you've been acting a bit too brazenly? A Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier brat managing to aggravate a True Devil is one thing, but now you're fighting a sixth-grade Duke? Don't you think you're a little too crazy?!"
