Absolute Resonance Chapter 1331: Regretful Zhao Qianjun

Li Luo watched Zhao Jiyun's corpse fall from the sky. His usually warm gaze was now cold and sharp. Since the opponent had come at him with the intention to kill, he wouldn't hold back either.

He then turned towards the Golden Peng Guardians' First Grand Commander and the Divine Tiger Guardians' Second Grand Commander.

Li Luo resembled a humanoid dragon holding a ma.s.sive bow, and monstrous killing intent surrounded him. It was a sight capable of striking fear into even third or fourth-grade Dukes.

Naturally, Zhao Zhu and the other fellow were s.h.i.+vering in fear. They understood that if Li Luo was capable of taking down Zhao Jiyun, they wouldn't be of much help and would only be walking into their deaths if they approached him.

The attempted encirclement of the Dragon's Fang Guardians was a complete disaster.

The two no longer dared to advance, quickly restraining their resonant power and attempting to retreat in panic and despair.

At the very least, Zhao Zhu still remembered his companion and picked up Zhao Jiyun's body before he left.

Li Luo watched the two back away, choosing not to to chase. Shooting the arrow had caused his internal energy and blood to surge dramatically and the Six-tailed Heavenly Wolf's fiendish energy to rampage. The fortunate part of all this was that the fiendish energy seemed to be wary of the Heavenly Dragon energy within his body and thus acted obediently, not taking the opportunity to harm him.

He then calmed the resonant powers in his body and glanced at Jiang Qing'e. She was looking at him as well, and the two locked eyes.

"Sister Qing'e, you actually killed Zhao Baisun!"

Li Luo surveyed the area and noticed that not even Zhao Baisun's corpse could be found. This meant that he had suffered an even more pitiful loss than Zhao Jiyun. That said, he was a little shocked at the plump swan's battle power. Wasn't she a little too terrifying?

A first-grade Duke had fought against a fourth-grade Duke, resulting in the latter being destroyed without a trace left behind.

Clearly, she had acted more viciously than Li Luo.

An unrivaled genius had her own indisputable style.

This made Li Luo look forward to his breakthrough even more.

A subtle smile appeared on Jiang Qing'e's face, which was originally frosty and intimidating. She even flashed him a thumbs up as though praising his achievement as well.

Li Luo respectfully clasped his hands in response with a smile. The two then turned their attention to the part of the battlefield where shocking energy fluctuations were still erupting from time to time.

It was the battle between Li Foluo and Zhao Qianjun.

They were the two with the highest cultivation levels here, both being upper fourth-grade Dukes.

That said, Li Foluo had managed to maintain the absolute upper hand, whereas Zhao Qianjun had been forced backwards after each strike, his life constantly on the edge as he attempted to fend off Li Foluo's offensive.

The reason for that was Li Hongyou's support.

She had given Li Foluo a buff that bolstered his resonant power by a large amount, and all of that power was being unleashed on Zhao Qianjun.

He could fight to his heart's desire, and this refres.h.i.+ng feeling caused him to feel like shouting into the skies. He had been so immersed in his battle that he had not paid attention to the surroundings.

It was only when Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e approached the battlefield that he awoke from his stupor.

Li Foluo and Zhao Qianjun temporarily stepped away from each other and looked at the two.

"Guardian General, do you need a hand? Zhao Baisun and Zhao Jiyun have already been sent to the underworld by our hands!" Li Luo loudly exclaimed.

This announcement shocked both of them.

"How is that possible?" Zhao Qianjun's mind was in a flurry. His side clearly held huge advantages in both battlefields. Moreover, regardless of whether it was Zhao Baisun or Zhao Jiyun, both were at much higher cultivation levels than Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo. Furthermore, they had others a.s.sisting them, so how could they have lost?

Zhao Qianjun's gaze hurriedly scanned the area, and his heart sank. He couldn't sense Zhao Baisun or Zhao Jiyun's resonant power undulations, nor did he spot any traces of them.

He immediately broke out in cold sweat.

At that point in time, an aggrieved voice shouted, "Guardian General, Zhao Jiyun and Zhao Zhuoyan were both killed by Li Luo!"

When Zhao Qianjun turned towards the source, he saw Zhao Zhu dragging over Zhao Jiyun's icy corpse.

That sight caused Zhao Qianjun to be hit by a spell of dizziness and he almost fainted on the spot. The deaths of those two were grievous blows to the Divine Tiger Guardians.

He had never imagined that their numerical advantage would lead to this result.

This was all because he had underestimated Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's strength.

A single Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator and first-grade Duke had delivered a crippling blow to the Divine Tiger Guardians.

As he simmered in fury, immense regret washed over him. If he had known that the Dragon's Fang Guardians were such a tough nut to crack, he wouldn't have bothered provoking them. They hadn't even stolen the Foundational Spirit Treasures, and yet they had lost so many experts. How was he going to explain the situation to his superiors?

In contrast to Zhao Qianjun, Li Foluo was whooping with excitement, which was also tinged with a slight awkwardness. He had the support of Li Hongyou, and although he had the upper hand, he was unable to defeat Zhao Qianjun. It was the other two who had managed to achieve astonis.h.i.+ng results despite the disadvantages they had.

Therefore, he felt both jubilant but also a little melancholic.

Were these supposed to be his underlings? Wasn't their display a little extravagant? That said, this was all good news as they had the initiative once again.

Li Foluo's gaze flickered with ferocity as he glared at Zhao Qianjun and mocked, "Zhao Qianjun, the saying 'trying to steal a chicken but only losing the rice to lure it' perfectly applies to you!"

Zhao Qianjun's expression changed and all the arrogance he had displayed vanished. He understood that the situation had been flipped on its head, and if Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e joined in to attack him, he would undoubtedly lose.

"Withdraw!" Zhao Qianjun acted decisively. Now that the situation was out of his control, dragging things further would only lead to him being completely devoured by the enemy.

Thus, he could only clench his teeth and order Zhao Zhu and the rest to retreat. He then wrapped the group with his majestic resonant power, running away without any hesitation.

"You think I'll let you run?!" Li Foluo snorted coldly. Did Zhao Qianjun think he would allow him to fight when he wanted and escape when he wished?

The four Duke Bergfrieds above him started to rumble and immense amounts of resonant power poured out, causing the world to shake.

However, just as he was about to take action, he saw Zhao Qianjun's hand flick towards him, and a stream of light shot out.

Li Foluo didn't know just what sort of dastardly device had been thrown towards them and was just about to smash the object apart when Li Luo hurriedly exclaimed, "Guardian General, hold on!"

Li Foluo was startled by his words and restrained his resonant power. After briefly inspecting the object, he blurted out in surprise, "Foundational Spirit Treasures!?" It seems like Zhao Qianjun had scattered Foundational Spirit Treasures!

What was most surprising was that one particular Foundational Spirit Treasure had an incredibly strong fragrance. Judging by its energy fluctuations, it was a high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure!

"That brat really is decisive. He chose to give up his treasures to preserve his life," Li Luo praised. The directions in which Zhao Qianjun had scattered the treasures was also in the direction where numerous other squads were hiding. He clearly wanted to take advantage of the chaos to prevent their pursuit and escape with his life.

If they were to spend their effort chasing after him, these Foundational Spirit Treasures would be s.n.a.t.c.hed up by the other squads.

"What do we do? Do we chase or seize the treasures?" Li Foluo asked.

"What do you think, Guardian General?" Li Luo asked back.

Li Foluo sighed deeply. "Seize the treasures, obviously! Zhao Qianjun still has the ability to fight back, and if he's trapped in a desperate situation, he might very well trade his life for some of ours."

Zhao Qianjun was an upper fourth-grade Duke after all, a whole step above Zhao Baisun. Even a cornered rabbit would bite, much less someone of his stature.

"There's no need to chase after poor bandits." Jiang Qing'e agreed.

Li Luo nodded as he watched Zhao Qianjun's miserable escaping figure. Either way, they had already heavily crippled the Divine Tiger Guardians and the Golden Peng Guardians. This achievement was good enough to send the Heavenly Dragon's Five Guardian Armies into a furor.

They then rushed out in unison towards the Foundational Spirit Treasures.

Of course, the top priority was none other than the high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure. Its appearance had invited many covetous gazes, and a few of the stronger Dukes were salivating over it.

However, Li Luo and the rest were a step ahead, so they intercepted the object first.

"Li Foluo, you found two high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures in the Other Dominion. Don't you think you're a little too greedy in wanting to seize this as well?" a Duke with lower fourth-grade strength exhorted.

Li Foluo coldly snorted, "You sniveling rats. This Foundational Spirit Treasure was obtained through our slaughter. It naturally belongs to us. If you don't agree, let's fight."

"Hmph! Everyone, they have already gone through an intense battle and have naturally expended quite a bit of their energy. Why don't we join hands and s.n.a.t.c.h away all of their Foundational Spirit Treasures?" someone suggested from the crowd.
