These words reflected the inner thoughts of some of the Dukes that harbored avaricious intentions.
When Li Foluo saw this, his gaze turned ruthless. He took a step forward, and his Duke Bergfrieds began to rumble once again with boundless amounts of resonant power, causing immense pressure to descend.
Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's gazes turned icy as they similarly roused their resonant power.
The originally peaceful atmosphere had turned tense once again.
However, not long after, numerous figures pierced through the air and stopped in front of them. Then a gentle, female voice rang out.
"Li Foluo, were you the one who requested for reinforcements?"
Li Foluo, Li Luo, and Jiang Qing'e turned around, and their expressions relaxed slightly upon seeing the newcomers. It was none other than the Dragon's Scale Guardian General, Li Tingyue, and her squad.
Li Tingyue had arrived in the nick of time with her squad in tow. This caused the wild rabble consisting of the other squads to stop in their tracks. They had no a.s.surance that they could take down both the Dragon's Fang and the Dragon's Scale Guardian squads and successfully s.n.a.t.c.h away the Foundational Spirit Treasures.
Thus the squads belonging to other powers and rogue cultivators thus chose to retreat without a further word, their resonant power fluctuations disappearing into the distance.
Li Foluo looked at the scattering squads as he coldly snorted. The four Duke Bergfrieds above him transformed into motes of light which were reabsorbed into his body as he retracted his resonant power.
The ferocious energy emanating from Li Luo disappeared like flowing water, reabsorbed back into the scarlet bracelet. Meanwhile the Six-tailed Heavenly Wolf was feeling a little weakened at the moment as most of the energy consumed by Li Luo had come from it.
It couldn't help but to sigh in its heart. It seems like following this master would tire him to death!
It was now an upper third-grade but it was still squeezed dry!
"Keke, thank you Guardian General Tingyue for your timely a.s.sistance." Li Foluo smiled as he cupped his hands to express his thanks.
"Li Foluo, did you encounter an ambush?" Li Tingyue's long skirt fluttered in the wind. Her beautiful eyes glanced around the area and she was able to sense the violent energy fluctuations that lingered in the vicinity, demonstrating that a huge battle had occurred.
"We were attacked by both Zhao Qianjun and Zhao Baisun's squads." Li Foluo replied with a smile.
"The Divine Tiger Guardians Zhao Qianjun and the Golden Peng Guardians Zhao Baisun?" Li Tingyue was momentarily taken aback upon hearing his words. Zhao Baisun was a lower fourth-grade and the combination of the two squads would mean that Li Foluo would have to suffer in such a situation. What was most confusing to her was the fact that none of them seemed to be injured.
"Jiang Qing'e killed Zhao Baisun and Li Luo took out Zhao Jiyun, Zhao Zhuoyan and another. I'm afraid the Ten Thousand Beast Armies have been grievously injured this time." Li Foluo continued.
"What?" Li Tingyue's eyes became as wide as saucers. She even suspected that her ears might have some issue. Behind her, the Dragon's Scale Guardians' First Grand Commander was also completely dumbfounded.
What did they just hear?
The Golden Peng Guardian General was the fourth-grade Zhao Baisun so how in the world did Jiang Qing'e do it?
Meanwhile, wasn't Zhao Jiyun the Divine Tiger Envoy? He had upper third-grade strength and even the Dragon's Scale Envoy didn't dare to brag that he was capable of beating him. Meanwhile this esteemed individual was killed by the Greater Heavenly Resonance Li Luo?
"Li Foluo, I rushed over here in a hurry so stop messing around." Li Tingyue frowned.
Li Foluo sighed at her response. He completely understood why she felt this way. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he might have agreed with her as well.
"Jiang Qing'e has reached the upper first-grade Duke stage and Li Luo borrowed the aid of an upper third-grade Duke stage spirit beast." He replied succinctly.
"Upper first-grade... upper third-grade spirit beast..." Li Tingyue paused for a moment as her expression turned complicated. Was this the supposed unrivaled-ness of a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried genius? An upper first-grade Duke was capable of contesting against a fourth-grade Duke?
That said she had already heard of Li Luo possessing a Duke stage spirit beast. However no one had ever told her that it was already at that grade.
Furthermore the energy it provided was ferocious and Li Luo was only a piddly Greater Heavenly Resonance. How could he dare to casually tap upon this energy? Wasn't he afraid of some sort of backlash? Based on what she knew, only those from the Imperial Beast Hall had a unique secret art that allowed them to fuse with their spirit beasts.
However, with that sort of explanation, she could understand what happened.
Li Tingyue then turned towards the duo as her gaze turned solemn. Although she had a warm relations.h.i.+p with them, it was purely due to their value on the Falling Star Terrace. However the strength they demonstrated today deserved her recognition.
"Dragon Fang Envoy Jiang and Grand Commander Li Luo might very well become the two mountains that stand invincible at the peak of the Five Guardian Armies." Li Tingyue sighed.
If Jiang Qing'e was capable of forging a second Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, that would mean that even Li Zhihuo would be surpa.s.sed by her. Li Luo himself was about to break into the Duke stage and if he succeeded and forged a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried of his own, his strength would also rise to a terrifying realm.
In the past, she had always thought that the position of Grand Guardian General would lie in Li Zhihuo's hands. However with the way things were going, it might belong to one of these two instead.
Their potential was simply terrifying.
This caused her to feel a little bit of sympathy towards Li Zhihuo. She knew that he had always hoped to attain that position.
Li Luo then smiled and chimed in. "The Five Guardian Armies are a singular whole. How could I be a mountain that stands alone?" "When such a day comes, the Five Guardian Armies would establish an unprecedented era where we would be the strongest generation ever. This would be a blessing for all of us."
Li Tingyue slightly smiled. This Li Luo seemed more and more handsome by the day and he knew how to speak words which pleased others. In that sense he held the absolute advantage when compared to Li Zhihuo.
"The Ten Thousand Beast Armies have suffered immensely so you need to be careful. If they find an opportunity, they will definitely enact revenge. Thus I'd suggest that we work together from now on." Li Tingyue suggested.
Li Foluo didn't respond upon hearing her words, only looking towards Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e and Li Hongyou. If they were to work together, they would find out about Li Hongyou's incredibly treasure seeking powers.
Li Luo sighed deeply before realizing this didn't really matter. Li Tingyue was only expressing her goodwill and there was no need to reject her. Furthermore they would only be encountering medium sized Other Dominions and more often than not, a single squad would not be enough to take it down. With her help, things would become a lot easier and would ward away the covetous gazes of others.
Thus he nodded his head and smiled. "In that case we'd like to welcome Guardian General Tingyue."
Li Tingyue looked suspiciously at Li Foluo. She couldn't shake off the feeling that the real leader of the squad was actually Li Luo and not the Dragon's Fang Guardian General. When he noticed her curious gaze, Li Foluo felt a little helpless. What else could he do? Jiang Qing'e and Li Hongyou clearly only listened to Li Luo. In the squad, he only served as an excellent, but glorified thug.
Furthermore, why did Li Tingyue and the rest feel that they were doing them a favor by joining up with them?
"So how many high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures have you obtained?" Li Foluo asked.
Li Tingyue pouted, "Zero. Just three middle-grade ones. The rest are all low-grade. How about you?"
A slight smirk surfaced on Li Foluo's face. "Three high-grades and eight middle-grades."
