Absolute Resonance Chapter 1158: Reunion with Li Lingjing

Chapter 1158: Reunion with Li Lingjing

Li Luo was absolutely shocked when he saw Li Lingjing. Perhaps due to the fact that half of her face was covered by the Aquamarine Python mask, she seemed almost enchanting at this moment, beautiful with a hint of mystique.

However, it was the same old familiar pair of eyes looking back at him.

"W-Why are you here?" Li Luo asked in surprise.

Li Lingjing thought about it for a moment. She then replied with a smile, "Clearly, I am here on a mission."

Li Luo understood what she meant. "Are you part of the Murderous Ghost Horde?"

Li Lingjing nodded. "You can say that."

He stared at her with a complex look. He never expected his reunion with Li Lingjing to happen under such circ.u.mstances. She had completely changed sides now. Based just on that, they were supposed to be mortal enemies right now.

Li Lingjing looked back at Li Luo's perplexed gaze, then she told him frankly, "Li Luo, you've known about it all along. I am no kind soul."

Li Luo replied softly, "Cousin Lingjing, that is just because of the incident back then. I believe that the heroic girl of the Western Region still lives within you. You are still kinder than anyone else."

Li Lingjing was a little taken aback. She kept quiet for a moment before she answered sadly, "Perhaps."

Before Li Luo could say anything further, his vision began to blur. The corruption in his left arm was running amok and his mind was beginning to get affected.

Li Lingjing could sense the changes happening to him. "Focus your mind and suppress the corruption. I will help you take care of the True Devil Egg."

At this point, she paused. "As long as you still trust me."

Li Luo smiled back at her. He sat down in the lotus position and closed his eyes, completely lowering his guard against all external threats. Then he focused his mind to resist the corruption and protect his body.

Looking at his defenseless state, a hardly noticeable warm light flashed across Li Lingjing's ice-cold eyes. She kneeled down beside Li Luo, stretched out her hand, and lifted Li Luo's terrifying cursed arm.

As soon as she came into contact with the arm, an extremely cold energy gushed out of it. Countless strange whispers resounded within her heart, trying to corrupt her spirit.

Such whispers were really frightening to ordinary people, but Li Lingjing was not bothered by them at all. Her inner self was like a lake of dead water. No matter how many negative emotions fell onto it, she was completely unaffected.

She stared at the cursed arm and thought about it for a moment. If she cut the arm off, it would be the easiest way to retrieve the True Devil Egg. This was what the Blood Coffin Carrier had planned to do. However, she clearly couldn't use this method.

She had to do it in a less extreme way.

Li Lingjing opened her red lips, and two of her teeth suddenly grew sharper. Like the fangs of a python, she bit Li Luo's wrist directly.

Surging waves of corruption gushed out, flowing along Li Lingjing's red lips and going straight into her body.

As Li Lingjing absorbed the energy of the True Devil Egg, Li Luo's tight frown gradually loosened up. However, he had completely shut off his senses to the outside world as he was completely focused on channeling his resonant power and resisting the corruption.

Li Lingjing waved her sleeve at this point. A green and black mist filled with countless screams slowly expanded out of her body.

There seemed to be some kind of strange creature swimming within the mist, something like a monstrous snake.

The green and black mist began to spread rapidly. In the end, it turned into a barrier with thick layers that completely covered up the entire hall.

As she had not chosen the most direct way of cutting off Li Luo's left arm, she would require some time to completely absorb the True Devil Egg. However, the Blood Coffin Carrier was already rus.h.i.+ng over. She hoped that this would buy them some time.

"I hope we make it in time."

Li Lingjing closed her eyes and concentrated on absorbing the True Devil Egg.

After a few moments...

The gigantic body of the Blood Coffin Carrier landed loudly outside the hall shrouded in green and black mist. A few of the walls were completely flattened by his forceful landing.

At this moment, the Blood Coffin Carrier was looking extremely terrifying. He looked at the mist and shouted angrily, "Aquamarine Python, I am going to kill you!"

He stepped forward and charged into the mist.

When he was inside, an unseen force began to cause his flesh to decay. In just a few moments, his cold white bones could be seen.

However, the Blood Coffin Carrier was not bothered by this at all. His sharp eyes peered through the thick mist and locked onto the center of the hall.

He slowly made his way forward. Pieces of his flesh fell off his body, staining the ground full of blood.

"Aquamarine Python, you can't stop me with the Devil Worm Mist!" he cried out in a low and angry voice.

Eyeb.a.l.l.s began to open one after another all over that strange and twisted body of his. The eyes shot out rays of blood energy that instantly decimated the creatures that could barely be seen by the naked eye within the mist.

He continued to approach the hall.

At this point, Feng Lingyuan, Li Hongyou, and Yue Zhiyu had arrived outside the mist as well. Their faces turned extremely ugly when they saw the green and black mist in front of them.

They could sense an extremely strong threat inside the mist.

This made them think twice about getting any closer to it.

"Let's attack it together. We'll destroy the mist!" As elite fighters themselves, they were able to come up with a solution swiftly. Although they did not dare to enter it carelessly, they were able to force it back by slowly exhausting it.

At the next moment, their resonant power surged up. It fell onto the mist and began to struggle with it. Then the mist gradually retreated.

Everyone was delighted to see that their plan was working. They then launched an even stronger attack.

Li Lingjing could feel the increasing pressure as they fired stronger attacks towards the mist. Not only did she have to focus on absorbing the True Devil Egg from Li Luo, she still had to stop the Blood Coffin Carrier and fend off the attacks from Feng Lingyuan's group.

She could faintly hear footsteps coming from outside the hall. A vicious light flashed across Li Lingjing's eyes. She focused her mind, and some power within her body was activated.

At the next moment, green-black python scales began to appear on her white skin and a sharp, green-black horn began to protrude from her forehead.

The demonic feeling emanating from Li Lingjing was gradually strengthening.

She was trying her best to buy as much time as possible. Hopefully, she could resolve the problem of the True Devil Egg on Li Luo's left arm before the Blood Coffin Carrier reached them.

Time pa.s.sed rapidly as Li Lingjing struggled against the incoming foes.

This was all until a particular moment...

Bang!

A loud explosion could be heard outside the hall. The huge and heavy doors of the hall were blown apart. The Blood Coffin Carrier stood in front of the gate with his body dripping in blood. He stared into the hall with deadly and mad eyes.

When he saw Li Lingjing's red lips biting Li Luo's left arm, his eyes grew even fiercer.

"Aquamarine Python, you shouldn't steal my things! I am going to torture you to death. I'll feed every sc.r.a.p of your flesh to my beloved!"

The Blood Coffin Carrier screamed in a mad voice. His blood and flesh moved towards the center of his palm, transforming into a b.l.o.o.d.y, fleshy spear with an eyeball.

"Die, Aquamarine Python!"

The Blood Coffin Carrier laughed out viciously and threw the spear at Li Lingjing and Li Luo with immense murderous intent.

Looking at its trajectory, the spear would pierce through both Li Luo and Li Lingjing without a doubt.

Li Lingjing could feel it approaching them after his angry cries. Her eyebrows frowned a little. However, she did not plan to dodge it. She quietly channeled her power, and the scales on her skin grew even darker.

Clearly, she was planning to fight back against it.

Whoos.h.!.+

The spear cut through the air with a sharp ring. When it was just a few feet away from Li Luo and Li Lingjing, the surroundings were suddenly illuminated with radiant light.

A pillar of light containing unimaginable divine energy descended on the dome of the hall. It melted the dome instantaneously and then crashed down upon the spear.

As it was saturated with pure and concentrated purification power, the fleshy spear screamed in pain. Then it began to evaporate into a wisp of black smoke before everyone's eyes.

The endless light energy pierced through the sky and brightened up every corner of the hall.

The Blood Coffin Carrier was stunned by the sudden development. He looked up and saw a tall, slender figure slowly descending.

On her back were two light Spirit Avatars. They rippled with light resonant power, giving off an incredibly holy appearance.

Four wings made up of light resonant power were on her back. Looking like a G.o.ddess of light, she gradually descended into the world of mortals.

Jiang Qing'e had finally arrived.
