Absolute Resonance Chapter 0871: One Kick

Chapter 0871: One Kick

Zhao Jingyu's tricks had made a drastic change.

The disappearance of Harmony and the huge energy had not only caused discomfort for Li Fengyi's group, it had also caused the morale of their banners members to fall drastically.

Most importantly, Zhao Jingyu had utilized another method to avoid the ward's interference. He had leveraged on the black tiger puppets to greatly boost his own strength into the Heavenly Pearl Tier. This was enough to give him a clear edge in this situation. In contrast to the worried faces of Li Fengyi and the rest, Li Luo was still remaining calm. In the same moment that Zhao Jingyu had activated his ward to cut off their connection with their banner members and deactivated the Harmony, Li Luo had gotten into contact with the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf in his crimson bracelet.

This had given him some rea.s.surance. Although Harmony had been disrupted, he could still borrow the strength of the wolf!

It's just a change of whom he borrowed power from.

As such, the situation on hand might not necessarily be a bad thing for Li Luo.

"Li Luo, let me say this one last time: sever your own arm and I'll let you off," Zhao Jingyu said to Li Luo as he stared at them leisurely with a grin.

In response, Li Luo revealed a gentle smile and said, "Didn't expect you to be such a fastidious person. In that case, you may leave the five dragon fangs behind and get out of here."

Zhao Jingyu's eyes turned completely chilly when he heard those words. He didn't bother speaking any longer, and resonant power surged unreservedly within his body. Although the intensity of the energy was far inferior to before, it was still the strength of one in the Heavenly Pearl Tier. This was enough to make Li Fengyi, Deng Fengxian, and the rest tremble under the pressure.

When he stomped his foot on the ground, the land beneath cracked open. He then flew like a flash directly towards Li Luo.

"Third Brother, I'll help you block him!" Li Jingtao shouted.

As soon as he saw Zhao Jingyu charging over, his face turned serious and he took the first step forward. Zhao Jingyu was now at the Heavenly Pearl Tier, while Li Luo was at the Fiend Body Tier. The difference in their power was too great. If they clashed right now, Li Luo would be at a huge disadvantage. Hence, Li Jingtao had wanted to help out by sending him off with his signature defensive move first.

Nonetheless, three figures flew forward from behind Zhao Jingyu as soon as Li Jingtao made his move. The first individual launched a vicious attack directly aimed at Li Jingtao.

Against this, Li Jingtao had no choice but to slow down and summon his resonant power to block it.

The other two Division Leaders from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao had also gone for Li Fengyi and Deng Fengxian at this point. Clearly, they were going to hold them off until Zhao Jingyu had enough time to finish off Li Luo.

In the same instant, Zhao Jingyu appeared in front of Li Luo without any obstruction.

Using the huge, red blade in his arm, he slashed down towards the ground, leaving a trail of erosion from the fiendish energy.

"Li Luo, I've told you that I would like one of your arms. No one's going to stop me today!" Zhao Jingyu said with a ferocious face as enormous resonant power surged up and the silhouette of a savage tiger emerged behind him.

Swis.h.!.+

When he swung his blade down, a crimson blade-light full of fiendish energy materialized. It was a truly aggressive slash where he had not held back any of his strength.

It seemed like even the strength of a Fiend Finisher would not be able to handle the brilliance of this blade light.

"Move back, Little Brother!" Li Fengyi warned him.

However, Li Luo did not retreat at all. As the blade light grew bigger and bigger in his eyes, his handsome face was as calm as a pond without waves.

When the blade light was close, he leaned forward and the sole of his foot crushed the ground underneath. He swung his leg and sent out one strong kick.

"You are courting death!"

Zhao Jingyu laughed grimly when he saw Li Luo kick directly at the blade light. The blade light rolled on and was about to cut off one of Li Luo's legs.

In the next moment, the blade light clashed with the kick.

However, an extremely terrifying energy erupted when the two came into contact.

Crack!

It had not even been a breath's time before the sound of shattering was heard.

Zhao Jingyu's ferocious face froze and his pupils widened in that instant. He had just witnessed his blade light, which could have killed even a Fiend Finisher, get shattered into pieces by Li Luo’s kick.

When the blade light crumbled, Li Luo, his leg now wrapped in intense energy, planted his foot straight in Zhao Jingyu's face with a sickening, bone-crunching strike.

BANG!

A low, m.u.f.fled sound rang in the air. Zhao Jingyu's face seemed to have collapsed at this moment, his facial features twisted. He flew back even faster than he had charged forward earlier and rolled pathetically on the ground for hundreds of meters.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the battlefield froze.

Whether it was Li Fengyi, Li Fengyi, Deng Fengxian, or the three Division Leaders from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, they were all dumbfounded.

The resonant power surrounding them seemed to have dimmed a little.

They stared with disbelief at how Li Luo’s kick had left Zhao Jingyu in an unknown state of life and death.

What was going on?!

Zhao Jingyu had been strengthened to the Heavenly Pearl Tier with the aid of the puppets. How had he ended up in this state with just one kick?

What had happened?!

Amidst the air of confusion, the three Division Leaders from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao restrained their resonant power and hurried over to help the fallen Zhao Jingyu.

At this moment, the blood and flesh on Zhao Jingyu's face was totally mashed into a paste as if he had been disfigured. When they helped him up, he spat out two mouthfuls of blood before his vision slowly recovered.

"I-Impossible!"

His voice was hoa.r.s.e, his body was shaking from the excruciating pain, and his heart was full of rage and shame.

Clearly, he could not accept the fact that a kick from Li Luo could leave him in this state after he had powered up with the external aid of the puppets.

Surely the power hidden in Li Luo's kick was not normal!

There was no way a Fiend Body Tier opponent like Li Luo could possess such strength!

"Y-Your state of Harmony was not nullified!" Zhao Jingyu said.

This was the only explanation he could think of. Somehow, Li Luo had managed to avoid the interference from his ward.

The others in the area also looked at Li Luo in surprise.

Li Luo retreated his leg with a grin as he said, "What a comfortable kick."

Hearing this, Zhao Jingyu’s anger boiled to the point of overflowing. However, he could only tremble and hold his anger down as he listened to Li Luo’s mockery.

That kick had really shocked him.

He had originally planned to widen the gap in their strength with the a.s.sistance from the ward. Who knew that it would help Li Luo instead?

If Li Luo's Harmony had not dissipated completely, wouldn't this ward be doing opposite of what it was intended to do?

The situation on hand had suddenly become extremely disadvantageous to Zhao Jingyu and his gang.

Just as he was trapped in this predicament, a sudden shrill came from the direction of the division members from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao.

This abrupt development caught Li Luo and his gang off guard too.

When they turned their heads over, their eyes narrowed a little.

Hundreds of bodies were flung into the air as if an unknown force had plowed through them. Their faces were filled with agony and they had injuries all over their bodies.

As they struggled, another shocking thing happened—their skins tore off from their bodies. In the next moment, hundreds of human skins floated in midair.

The hundreds of division members were left rolling on the ground, dripping in fresh blood and screaming in agony.

"Hehe."

A strange laugh came from the distance.

Before anyone noticed, a pale, white figure had appeared on a big tree. When it made its presence known, the hundreds of human skins suspended in the air flew towards it, covering its body layer after layer.

At the same moment, the others noticed that this pale figure had no hair. It looked just like any other human, except its pale body was formed by layers of human skin.

A chill air blew in the hearts of everyone present.

This was a True Devil Other.

In particular, Li Luo, Li Fengyi, and the rest were even more solemn.

This was the Human Skin True Devil! It was one of the two True Devils that Li Luo and the rest wanted to deal with earlier but had mysteriously disappeared.

It seemed that it had secretly followed them all the way into the Crimson Fire Mountain Range.
