Chapter 0834: Invincible Water Jade Armor

Roar!

Engulfed in ice-cold torrents of black water, the black dragon roared with a domineering, sharp cry that shattered even the surrounding void.

For a moment, the whole crystal square was shaking violently.

This was considered the highest level attack that Li Luo could manage with his current power. Not only had he summoned Divine Elephant Power and the Thunderpeal Avatar, he had also utilized the third realm of his dual resonance power together with Heavenly Dragon Resonance Enlightenment, a Nine Revolutions Art.

With the boost from Heavenly Dragon Resonance Enlightenment, this Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner was much stronger than any of his previous ones.

Even though he was still only as strong as a lower first-grade Duke, he was confident that all these boosts would allow him to seriously wound even an upper first-grade Duke opponent!

The black dragon howled, and its enormous shadow overwhelmed Qin Yi’s slender figure. At such a short distance, her resonant power defenses were shattered instantly.

Her gaze trembled, and she raised her jade-like hands. Multiple rays of light flickered and condensed into light patterns that formed a layer of protection around her.

However, such a hasty defense was of little help in the face of an all-out attack from Li Luo.

The light patterns were shattered into pieces in mere seconds.

The black dragon roared and the cold black water swept forth. Aggressive torrents of energy tore the ground apart while Qin Yi was slashed fiercely by the black dragon's claws.

Bang!

The void shattered and a piercing sound erupted throughout the square.

Ripples were suddenly visible to the naked eye and could be seen from the torn space.

Qin Yi fell as if she had been severely wounded. Along the way, dozens of huge, crystal pillars broke in the middle and a deep claw mark that spanned thousands of feet tore apart the ground.

It was like the square had been split into two.

The fallen crystal pillars crashed down, the resulting noise resounding throughout the square.

……

The image of the battle had been projected into the sky above the dragonbreath pool. This scene had been imprinted onto the minds of many of the guests present.

Their eyes twitched a little. Li Luo was so ruthless, going all-out even against a petite lady like Qin Yi.

At the same time, they were pretty shocked by Li Luo's attack.

Even though he only had the strength of a lower first-grade Duke, that attack was strong enough to injure even an upper first-grade Duke.

It looked like even Qin Yi would have suffered if she had been caught off guard by that strike.

In the same moment, some cheers erupted within the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages. The counterattack by Li Luo had clearly exceeded their expectations. They had thought that he would be at a disadvantage with such a huge and obvious gap in strength.

Nonetheless, Qin Lian's expression did not change at all amidst the loud cheers. She merely watched Li Luo on the screen, though the air around her turned a little colder. Similarly, there was not much change in the expressions of the five Lineage Chiefs. They continued watching the screen with eyes as calm as deep pools.

Their gazes were naturally further and clearer. Li Luo's attack had indeed exceeded expectations, and an ordinary upper first-grade Duke would have been gravely injured by it. However... Qin Yi was extraordinary.

……

Back at the crystal-clear square.

Li Luo locked his gaze on the area with the fallen crystal pillars, as Qin Yi was hidden underneath the debris.

He did not get carried away after the success of the previous attack. His eyes flashed, and the Lambent Hawkeye materialized in his grip. Without any further hesitation, he pulled the string of the bow and resonant power flowed out from his body.

Bang! Bang!

In the next instant, dozens of Flowing Thunder Dragon Fangs flew through the air, aimed directly towards the debris of the collapsed crystal pillar.

However, just as the fangs were about to hit, a light-blue water veil appeared out of thin air. The lightning arrows bombarded the water veil, producing ripples on its surface.

Gradually, the attacks were dissipated.

Li Luo heaved a sigh. Qin Yi was truly remarkable—not even such a ferocious attack was enough to gravely injure her.

A light-blue ball of resonant power glowed and floated into the air. In the same moment, the buried crystal debris rapidly dissolved.

After a few moments, Qin Yi was back in Li Luo's vision.

She appeared slightly disoriented at this point. Her long skirt was a little torn, revealing her snow-white, jade-like skin. At the same time, her lower abdomen had been torn open by several gaping claw marks, leaving deep scars in the area.

Clearly, even Qin Yi had paid a heavy price to receive that huge, shocking blow from Li Luo.

However, it was not as severe as Li Luo had hoped for.

He stared at the exposed skin under Qin Yi's dress. The looming, snow-white skin would make anyone daydream. However, he was not looking with a sense of indecency. Instead, he stared at it tightly without blinking.

He had noticed that a string of mysterious words had appeared on Qin Yi's delicate skin. Like runes that were engraved in her flesh and blood, the mysterious light glowed and flowed. Gradually, the hideous wound on Qin Yi's abdomen started to heal up at an amazing pace. After a dozen breaths, it was completely gone. Her delicate skin was back to being flawlessly smooth like jade.

Li Luo was dumbfounded at this sight. All of the injuries from his attack had been cured so easily.

This was going against all ordinary logic. His attack earlier had merged the power of both the third realm of dual resonances as well as the erosion ability of the dark nether water. Such a hit should not have been healed up so easily.

However, Qin Yi had managed to do it.

Looking at her flawless and exquisite jade body, Li Luo batted his eyelids as he asked helplessly, "Is that... a body-tempering Duke Art?"

As the waterlight continued to flow around Qin Yi's delicate body, even her torn dress started to repair itself gradually. She looked back at him with an icy gaze as she calmly replied, "This is a Soul Ascension-grade Duke Art from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing. Indeed, the Invincible Water Jade Armor is a kind of body-tempering Duke Art."

Li Luo smiled wryly and shook his head. This was not only a body tempering Duke Art, but a Soul Ascension-grade one too!

Qin Yi was truly the number one talent in the current generation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing. Obviously, no one would have expected someone as soft and delicate as her to have already mastered a body-tempering Duke Art.

It seemed like her physical body was her true edge here.

Judging from the speed of her recovery from the earlier injuries, the Invincible Water Jade Armor had a frighteningly fast healing capability. This was something that Li Luo, who had a water resonance, knew very clearly. He had always disgusted his opponents with the fearsome recovery ability of his water resonant power. Who would have expected him to be similarly dismayed by the very same capability one day?

At this moment, Li Luo's eyes flickered. Unless he could totally overwhelm Qin Yi with his thunderous strength and injure her significantly, she would heal back up with this amazing art and tire him out eventually.

Unfortunately, he was the one with a weaker foundation out of the two of them.

Ultimately, Qin Yi had the strength of an upper first-grade Duke. She was better than him in all aspects.

"What an eye-opener from you, Banner Leader Li Luo. If not for the Invincible Water Jade Armor, I am afraid I would have been gravely injured from the previous strike," Qin Yi calmly said, her words resounding in the crystal square. Unlike her usual, calm voice, Li Luo could sense a cold breath within her words.

Evidently, he had infuriated her with his previous attack.

"It's only basic courtesy for me to return the favor. Please accept the present I have prepared for you, Banner Leader Li Luo," Qin Yi said before she placed her jade-like hands in front of her and started forming hand seals.

As soon as Li Luo heard this, he retreated immediately and his resonant power surged within his body.

However, numerous blue lights started to appear on his body just as he retreated. These lights were shining with a mysterious glow.

These runic patterns were clearly drawn by Qin Yi, but even Li Luo had no idea when she had managed to pull this off.

"When you attacked earlier, it was not that I could not defend in time. I was merely preparing a return gift for you," Qin Yi calmly explained.

In the next moment, waterlight shot out from the mysterious runes on Li Luo's body. All of a sudden, he felt a deadly pressure crash down on him, making him feel like he had been submerged into the deepest depths of the ocean.

When he raised his head, all he could see was a giant, blurry silhouette that had formed when the light rays from the mysterious runes condensed together. The enormous silhouette had completely overwhelmed him.

It was the blurry shape of a lady. Trapped in it, Li Luo was stuck in the silhouette's abdomen like he was a fetus in the womb. It was a truly bizarre sight.

"This is my present for you, Banner Leader Li Luo...

"Secret art: Fetal Reversion."

Following Qin Yi's words, Li Luo felt a sudden shock in his body, then his resonant power started to flow out at a swift pace.

It was all getting drained by the gigantic, blurry silhouette in front of him. Qin Yi was planning to suck out every last ounce of resonant power within him first!

After he was out of resonant power, he would be like a fish on the chopping board, waiting for her to slaughter him!
