Absolute Resonance Chapter 1160: Light and Dark

Chapter 1160: Light and Dark

The light and darkness split the hall into two regions, with Li Luo sitting on the dividing line.

Things had fallen deathly silent at this point.

Jiang Qing'e stared at Li Lingjing. Immense amounts of corruption were overflowing out of the latter as she had just absorbed half of the True Devil Egg. On her forehead, the green and black horn was becoming even more monstrous too.

No matter how Jiang Qing'e looked at it, the girl in front of her was clearly the embodiment of evil.

The light resonant power in her body was crying out nonstop. As if out of reflex, it wanted to cleanse the immense corruption leaking out of the other girl.

Slowly, Jiang Qing'e tightened her grip on her sword.

Her eyes turned sharp.

Jiang Qing'e had always held an impressive and domineering presence amongst her peers. Few were able to remain unfazed under her sharp gaze. However, Li Lingjing had not shown any signs of wavering on her beautiful face.

In fact, she had tightened her grip on her Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff in response.

In the end, Jiang Qing'e did not attack her directly. The girl was strange, but she had ultimately done no harm to Li Luo nor taken him hostage.

Jiang Qing'e stared at Li Lingjing. Her red lips opened slightly and she asked in a cold voice, "Are you part of the Murderous Ghost Horde?"

Apart from the students of the two ancient colleges, there were only Others and the Murderous Ghost Horde from the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute in the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm. This girl was strange and spooky, but she still retained her human form. Therefore, she had to belong to the latter group.

Although Li Lingjing did not respond to her directly, the answer was clear.

"Why did you help Li Luo?" Jiang Qing'e asked with a little doubt and surprise. She was not bothered about the previous fact at all.

"Are you worried about him?" Li Lingjing finally opened her mouth. Her eyes scrutinized the beauty dazzling in radiant light. Her temperament and appearance were clearly one notch above that of the Fairy of Water from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing.

"Li Luo is my fiance," Jiang Qing'e replied in a direct and calm voice, establis.h.i.+ng their relations.h.i.+p.

Li Lingjing was a little shocked when she heard this. She stared back at Jiang Qing'e. She had heard about Li Luo having a fiancee from the outer divine continent long ago.

However, she did not know if Li Luo was lying about it or not, so she always had her doubts.

Besides, Li Luo was always boasting about how much of a stunning beauty his fiancee was. In terms of talent and appearance, she was unparalleled.

It was such an exaggerated boast at times that Li Lingjing couldn't help doubting him.

Looking at this girl in front of her, Li Lingjing finally understood. Li Luo had been speaking the truth all this while.

Even though her face did not show it, she was in awe of the lady before her, coupled with her radiant and blinding dual ninth-grade light resonances.

Such a talent truly deserved unmitigated praise.

"Did such a person really come from an outer divine continent? Unbelievable."

If Li Luo had brought this girl to the Dragon's Fang Lineage, even the Lineage Chief would be pleased. Obtaining dual ninth-grade resonances before the Duke Stage was something numerous generations would never see in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.

With his fiancee by his side, it seemed as though Li Luo would not suffer anymore here.

As Li Lingjing thought about all this, her grip on the Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff gradually loosened up.

If this girl in front of her was really Li Luo's fiancee, she would be her senior, considering her position as Li Luo's cousin. However, Li Lingjing did not plan to tell her about this.

She had no interest in her reaction.

She could sense that Jiang Qing'e had been reining in the overflowing light resonant power in her body. Even if she really did not plan to attack her, who could guarantee it wouldn't happen considering that their resonances were polar opposites?

In the same way, negative emotions were surging up in her heart. They were all telling her to... kill Jiang Qing'e?

Unfortunately, both of them were the type with extremely strong willpower, so these emotions were unable to affect them so easily. Nonetheless, they were clearly not suited to come into contact with each other.

If it wasn't for Li Luo and his current circ.u.mstances, they would likely have gotten into a life-or-death fight if they met in a different situation.

Jiang Qing'e had the purest form of light energy. She was the natural bane of all Others. Meanwhile, Li Lingjing belonged to the Origin Reversion Inst.i.tute. They were on opposing sides without a doubt.

Li Lingjing was not a pushover though. If Jiang Qing'e decided to attack her, she would definitely not retreat. For the present Li Lingjing, there was nothing to be frightened of. She wasn't even afraid of death.

She lowered her head a little and looked at Li Luo, who still had his eyes closed as he tried to mop up the mess within his body. Then she swung her staff, turned around, and left. She did not plan to interact with Jiang Qing'e any longer.

The immense cold and dark energy subsided along with her departure.

As Jiang Qing'e watched her walk away, she did not stop her. She could tell that this girl had a special relations.h.i.+p with Li Luo.

However, it wasn't that of romantic love.

Jiang Qing'e was feeling a little perplexed about this. It was their first time meeting, but she could already sense it.

This girl would definitely become a True Devil in the future.

In fact, she would definitely become a strong True Devil. Why would someone like that protect Li Luo? She had shown no signs of dodging the fatal attacks from the Blood Coffin Carrier earlier; she must have planned to take the hits for Li Luo.

Just how deep was their relations.h.i.+p?

A light flashed across Jiang Qing'e's eyes. As she watched Li Lingjing slowly walk into the darkness, she thought about it for a moment and suddenly said, "Although I don't know who you are, I want to say... Thank you. I will remember this favor in my heart. If there is a chance in the future, I will surely repay you."

The figure faintly seen in the shadows paused for a moment. Li Lingjing did not turn back. Then the darkness swallowed her up completely.

However, her ice-cold voice echoed in the palace.

"I think... You will no longer have that chance."

Jiang Qing'e slightly raised her brows. "What a personality. Just what is the relations.h.i.+p between that girl and Li Luo?"

Was he slaying the hearts of maidens wherever he went? She blinked for a moment and shot him an unkind look as she wondered. "Should I give him a beating to keep him in check? It would be a fitting reunion gift, right?" When this thought ran through he mind, her lips curled up uncontrollably. Her usually calm inner self was surging with waves of happiness. Soon, it reached all parts of her body. The light beams around her glowed even brighter as a result.

She kneeled down in front of Li Luo and looked at his face. His handsome face had aged compared to the time they last saw each other. Then her smile grew and her eyes lit up in delight.

"Li Luo, we finally meet again."

Jiang Qing'e stared at him for a good, long while. Then Li Luo's eyes moved a little and slowly opened up.

An unforgettable and charming face was reflected in his slightly dazed eyes.
