Chapter 0499: Dual Resonance Users Fight

Weng!

The sword sliced across Lu Ming's slender neck, and then Li Luo's face changed.

The blade pa.s.sed through without any resistance.

"An illusion?!" Li Luo felt a cold pang of fear as the Lu Ming before him faded away.

“Wily woman.”

Boom!

A loud report of thunder exploded behind him, and lightning arced over his scalp from the hairpin-sword. Li Luo barely ducked in time, and he could smell the acridity of singed hair from the top of his head.

Lightning resonances had speedy attacks indeed.

On Li Luo's right side, a golden, octagonal s.h.i.+eld had blocked the weapon's direct stab.

Ting!

A clash of metal on metal.

The Octagold s.h.i.+eld had a deep dent on it from the sword thrust, which had almost completely pierced through it.

The Octagold s.h.i.+eld was a white-eye treasured artifact, and a defensive one at that. Li Luo had repaired it after he had gotten it from the Golden Dragon Dao Fields, and now it was already spoiled again. “Lu Ming! My wallet!”

A troublesome woman.

Illusion resonance in one hand and lightning resonance in the other. While not the strongest offensive combination, they still had more attack power than water and wood resonances. If not for his two additional secondary resonances, he would have been completely outcla.s.sed.

Li Luo looked up and smiled easily at Lu Ming. "Friend Lu Ming, what a dishonest person you are. An illusion as your first appearance? How discourteous!"

Lu Ming snorted. “Rich, coming from a guy who just pulled off a sneak attack himself.”

She did not bother answering, instead choosing to attack again. Lightning lanced out from her sword, splitting into multiple forks that shot out towards Li Luo's weak points.

Li Luo eyed the rapidly approaching electrical web attack with trepidation. Lu Ming moved too quickly—her attack was barely a blur in his eyes.

Ding!

Li Luo raised his Onyx-Elephant Blade. He might not be able to see it coming, but he knew the end-point of the attack: his weak points.

The harsh squeal of electricity against metal rang out.

The ground cracked under him, scorch marks searing it in a lightning pattern.

Overlaid on the electrical web was a wet, s.h.i.+mmering layer of a milky color.

Li Luo grimly held on to his weapon. He could feel the lightning resonant power working its way through his hand, numbing him.

His stance lost strength as well, as the electricity continued through his legs before reaching the ground.

His feet felt wobbly after the attack, as though he were standing on soft mud.

Lu Ming had the advantage in this raw clash of resonant power, which was to be expected. She was a Third Changing after all.

Li Luo backed away calmly, using his dual resonances to purge the invading energies from his body.

His waterlight resonant power and woodearth resonant power quickly worked to help him recover.

That was his strength—resilience and endurance.

A few moments later, he was completely recovered again.

Shaking out his legs, Li Luo gingerly tested them.

"Hmm?"

Lu Ming made a small noise of surprise. She was surprised that Li Luo had already managed to completely shake off the after-effects. That was much faster than what she was used to.

"Your resonant power... it's strange," she slowly said.

Both of them had dual resonances, and hers were definitely supposed to be stronger. And yet there was something about the quality of his that made her uneasy...

A resilient and tough opponent that came back again and again.

Lu Ming did not expect Li Luo to respond to her remark. She chose to seek out an answer herself, attacking again to see how he would respond.

Li Luo leaped backwards and smacked his hands together.

Splas.h.!.+ Roar!

Muddy hands reached out from the ground to grab at Lu Ming's legs.

She was dangerous when she was fast and unhindered. Time to provide some hindrances.

Lu Ming smirked, twisting her feet into a ready stance and lifting off onto the b.a.l.l.s of her feet.

"Tiger-general resonance art, Lightning Walker."

She moved past the hands in a flash, already in front of Li Luo once more. Her sword glinted dangerously, poised to strike.

Hair flying out behind her, flared from the static, she was like a general of lightning.

Again she struck with the signature of lightning attacks—a deadly combination of speed and an offensive punch. "Tiger-general resonance art, Bolt Sword!"

Her thin sword boomed with an unnaturally loud sound, transforming into a fat bolt of golden lightning several meters long. It zapped out at Li Luo's position, leaving blackened furrows in the ground behind it.

Li Luo knew he had to do something. This attack was so strong that even other Third Changing opponents would not be able to deal with it.

It seemed like Lu Ming had no intention of toying with him. She wanted to finish this quickly and move on to the finals.

"Ah, you underestimate me," Li Luo muttered, s.h.i.+fting his grip on the Onyx-Elephant Blade.

His resonant bubbles popped, save for the two poison ones.

The surge of resonant power flooded him.

This wasn't over.

Level One Divine Elephant Power.

Li Luo's arms bulged, his veins wriggling like little snakes under the surface of his skin. As the energy roared through them, the skin on his arms split apart, beads of blood popping out and forming small rivulets.

Li Luo allowed a mad grin to spread on his face as he savored the power within him. He watched the rapidly approaching golden thunderbolt bearing down on him like a hungry lion, waiting for the timing.

He stepped forward, blade slicing upwards in a violent swing.

Homerun!
