Absolute Resonance Chapter 0873: Continuous Developments

Chapter 0873: Continuous Developments

Bang!

As countless Harmony chants rang in the air, wave after wave of extremely strong resonant power surged up in the forest like a wild storm.

Over at Zhao Jingyu's side, the Human Skin True Devil who was on a killing spree also froze in its tracks. Four extremely terrifying energy undulations that were filled with anger and murderous intent had surfaced.

The Human Skin True Devil screamed loudly, and pieces of pale, human skin shedded from its body repeatedly. Strange, black runes were flowing around them.

With this enhancement, the human skins possessed tremendous power as well. They split open one after another and fended off the attack from Zhao Jingyu and his Division Leaders in the state of Harmony.

Nonetheless, it had to pay a heavy price to do so. The human skins disintegrated and were used up.

With that, the Human Skin True Devil had grasped the change in the situation and attempted to escape.

"Die!” Zhao Jingyu shouted angrily with no intention of letting it off. His side had suffered great losses due to the Human Skin True Devil's ma.s.sacre. Many of his division members were still rolling in pain on the floor, without their skins. It was a truly tragic sight.

"Duke Art, Great Tiger Seal!"

Without any hesitation, Zhao Jingyu activated his Duke Art. A giant, black tiger-claw materialized in the air and flew directly towards the Human Skin True Devil.

At the same time, his three Division Leaders similarly launched their attacks angrily. Huge amounts of energy surged up and lanced ferociously towards the Human Skin True Devil.

Boom!

The whole forest started shaking under the tremendous shockwaves of the energy blast.

While Zhao Jingyu and his division fought against the Human Skin True Devil, Li Luo and the other three were working together against the Red Eye True Devil.

The four of them activated Harmony and immediately obstructed the escape route of the Red Eye True Devil. In the next moment, violent and vicious attacks flew wildly towards the enemy.

The Red Eye True Devil tried its best to fend off the furious bombardments of attacks by the four of them. Rays of terrifying blood light shot out continuously. However, its power started to weaken as time pa.s.sed by. In the end, it was completely overwhelmed by the explosive energy from the combined a.s.sault.

The members of the four banners finally heaved sighs of relief when they watched the Red Eye True Devil die before them. It was only at this moment that the fear in their eyes subsided.

Clearly, the horrific scenes they had just witnessed had frightened them really badly.

They were completely helpless in front of the True Devil Other without the a.s.sistance of Harmony.

The hearts of Li Fengyi, Li Jingtao, and Deng Fengxian were beating exceptionally quickly. It was fortunate that there had been no great casualties on their side. Otherwise, they would surely be punished upon their return.

After all, it was their responsibility as Banner Leaders to take care of the banner members.

"Thank you, Third Brother. Your efforts have saved us today." Li Jingtao wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead.

Li Fengyi nodded in agreement. Earlier, Li Luo had stopped the Red Eye True Devil during the critical juncture and bought them enough time until the effects of the ward faded off. If not, their four banners would surely have been slaughtered and left in a pathetic state like Zhao Jingyu's side.

This time, even the somewhat arrogant Deng Fengxian had cupped his fists together and thanked Li Luo.

Li Luo shook his head and replied, "It's what had to be done. We're from the same bloodline after all." He felt like he really got lucky this time. It was really fortunate that he had the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf trump card hidden up his sleeve. Otherwise, he could not have helped out in time either.

"Little Brother, how did you get the burst of power to fight off the True Devil Other earlier? You weren’t in the state of Harmony yet, right?" Li Fengyi asked curiously.

Hearing this, Li Luo smiled and responded, "It's not really my strength. It's a special kind of external aid."

The three of them were surprised to hear this. However, they did not probe on. This was Li Luo's hidden trump card ultimately, so there was no need for them to ask any further.

In the next moment, Li Luo changed the conversation topic and asked, "Who'd have thought that those two True Devil Others would follow us all the way into the Crimson Fire Mountain Range? That's really strange."

The other three nodded seriously too. There was clearly something odd about this chain of events. Under ordinary circ.u.mstances, the True Devil Others would not venture into a region with barely any corruption like this one. Yet two of them had laid here for an ambush today.

Furthermore, they had hidden themselves sneakily in the dark and waited for Zhao Jingyu to cast his ward and deactivate the state of Harmony before coming in for the kill.

"Luckily, we have gotten rid of them," Li Fengyi said with a sigh of relief.

"Let's get the Sacred Infant Fruit and leave this place quickly. The Dark Domain really makes me feel uneasy." It was not the first time she had come into a Dark Domain, but this was the only time that left her feeling so disturbed. At this point, Li Luo looked over to Zhao Jingyu's side and saw that the Human Skin True Devil was slaughtered as well. However, he did not let out a sigh of relief. Rather, his face turned more serious.

"Third Brother, what're you worried about?" Li Jingtao asked when he noticed the change.

Li Luo thought for a moment and responded, "Although the two True Devils have been slain, do you remember the mysterious True Devil that I mentioned previously... The Soul Eater True Devil? Perhaps these two True Devils entered the Mountain Range because of the mysterious True Devil."

Hearing this, the faces of Li Fengyi and Deng Fengxian changed immediately. They had indeed forgotten about the mysterious True Devil...

"Does the Soul Eater True Devil really exist? After all, the Western Region sends in Dukes to scout the area periodically, and they have never noticed that True Devil all this while," Li Fengyi said with a forced smile.

Li Lingjing's face flashed across Li Luo's mind in this instant. He was not completely sure about it either. After all, he had not seen this mysterious True Devil up till now.

As Li Luo and the rest were discussing amongst themselves, Zhao Jingyu had also finished the battle on his end. However, it was a bloodbath for his side. There were too many division members who were bleeding without their skins. Despite the nonstop aid provided by the other division members, the cries of pain continued ringing in the air.

Zhao Jingyu was trembling all over, unsure if it was due to shock or anger. In the end, he turned his head and stared fiercely at Li Luo.

"Why're you looking at me? If not for the ward nonsense that you came up with, we wouldn’t have been ambushed by two True Devils, you fool," Li Luo said calmly.

Zhao Jingyu replied with red eyes, "Li Luo, you fiend! You must have attracted those True Devils over!" Ever since he arrived in the Dark Domain, he could sense that there were many more dangerous encounters whenever he got close to Li Luo. In fact, he had nearly been killed by two True Devils before. And then he was ambushed by two of them once again after he had entered the Crimson Fire Mountain Range. This was a totally unimaginable series of events based on his past experiences.

Therefore, Zhao Jingyu felt that it had to be linked to Li Luo.

Li Luo simply answered, "I'd advise you to just get the h.e.l.l out of here. Stop disturbing us."

He did not want to bicker with Zhao Jingyu any longer. He simply wished to obtain a Sacred Infant Fruit as soon as possible and leave this strange place.

Hearing this, Zhao Jingyu was infuriated. He stared daggers at Li Luo and could barely hold himself back any longer.

However, a gentle hum came from the depths of the forest at this moment.

"Hmm… Hmm… Hmm…"

It seemed to be the voice of a young girl. The lyrics could not be heard clearly, but the voice was sweet and pleasant, echoing throughout the forest into the ears of everyone present. The sudden development left everyone dumbfounded.

Although the humming was beautiful, no one was paying attention to it. They could all sense an inexplicably odd feeling arising in their hearts.

It was a really spooky encounter to hear a girl humming in this kind of place.

The faces of Li Luo and his gang changed the most. They looked at each other, and chills went up their spines. Could this voice be coming from the mysterious Soul Eater True Devil?!

With their understanding, there should be no one else in this forest.

Where was the voice coming from?

"Get ready!"

The four of them shouted as they activated Harmony.

The humming was getting clearer and clearer.

A few moments later, it stopped. Everyone seemed to have sensed it, and they looked to the side. The sound of light footsteps was coming from the left side of the dense forest.

A slender figure became clearer and clearer. Finally, it emerged from the shadows of the forest.

Everyone was stunned when the figure appeared.

It was a fair girl with a clean and beautiful face. Her long hair fluttered in the air and her hands were behind her back. She walked out with a little confusion on her face as she looked at the crowd and smiled with her white teeth. She was as pretty as the blooming flowers.

However, Li Luo sensed a chill running from his soles all the way up his body as he stared at the pet.i.te, white face. That face...

It's exactly the same as Li Lingjing's!
