Chapter 0955: Turning The Tables
The group charged through the forest. As their surging resonant power clashed against the air, a soft ringing could be heard. Trails of dust were left behind as these figures dashed towards their prey.
Every individual in this group was literally seething with killing intent.
Among them were faces that Li Luo was very familiar with. It was Zhao Shenjiang and Zhao Jingyu. However, neither of them was in charge. The leader was a youth by the name of Zhao Fengxu, a seven-pearl from the same generation as Zhao Yan. Accompanying the people from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao were numerous helpers from the Devil Fire Hall. Amongst them, the strongest was at the six-pearl tier.
"The people from the Dragon"s Fang Lineage are over there. They should still be busy fighting Guardian Spirits. Let"s head over as fast as we can before they wipe out the spirits completely. We can make use of this chance to make a killing out of them!" Zhao Jingyu said excitedly with a vicious face. He never guessed that he would be able to meet Li Luo so soon. Moreover, he"d be able to catch Li Luo in a vulnerable state.
He would surely take revenge for what happened back in the Dark Domain of the Western Region!
"Don"t worry. Now that the people from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li have fallen into our trap, we"ll not let them off so easily," Zhao Fengxu said with a smirk on his face.
With a heavy spear in hand, Zhao Shenjiang declared with a ferocious look, "If there"s a chance, let me deal with Li Luo myself. Once I"ve crippled the Dragon"s Head, his generation will never be able to lift their heads in the presence of our bloodline ever again."
Nonetheless, no one thought that he was being overly arrogant despite these words. After all, Zhao Shenjiang"s talent was indisputable. Even Zhao Yan from the previous generation was somewhat inferior to him. In time, he would definitely be able to exceed even Zhao Yan.
Zhao Fengxu nodded. "Sure. We"ll leave Li Luo to you."
The group continued their speedy dash through the forest. After a few moments, Zhao Shenjiang and the rest finally caught sight of the valley.
At this time, there were still loud echoes of energy within the valley, and resonant power surged up into the air in waves.
"As expected, they"re still fighting the Guardian Spirits," Zhao Fengxu told them with a pleasant smile. He waved his hand to signal the group before taking the lead and charging into the valley first.
Seeing this, the others did not hesitate for long before they followed after him. After all, they still outnumbered the Dragon"s Fang Lineage even if the Guardian Spirits had been disposed of.
A line of figures dashed into the valley. The layout of the land around them was pretty complicated. They walked through it for quite a while, but to their surprise, there were no signs of anyone from the Dragon"s Fang Lineage despite the destroyed terrain.
There were also no signs of any Guardian Spirits in their surroundings.
"What happened?" someone asked.
Zhao Fengxu was similarly confused and uncertain of what had happened. However, he did not proceed any further, and his eyes quickly scanned the silent valley. "Let"s retreat!" he said in a deep voice.
Although he did not understand why the Guardian Spirits had all disappeared, it was clear that the Dragon"s Fang Lineage had emerged victorious in the fight. Now his enemy was lurking in the shadows, while he was out in the open. He had to be extra cautious and preserve his strength.
Unfortunately, the worldly natural energy in the surroundings erupted as soon as the group turned around to retreat.
"Welcome, friends. Why don"t you stay for a little while longer and experience the hospitality of the Dragon"s Fang Lineage?" A peal of laughter echoed through the air at this point.
Zhao Shenjiang and Zhao Fengxu raised their heads immediately. In front of them was a line of individuals. Li Luo was in front, and he was the speaker.
"Retreat!" Zhao Fengxu shouted, his eyes turning grim. He did not waste any time speaking with Li Luo. He flashed into the air in an attempt to leave the valley first.
However, the people from the Dragon"s Fang Lineage coordinated their moves at the same moment. Their resonant power surged up and formed layers of barriers, pushing them back down and containing them within the valley.
When Zhao Fengxu and the rest tried to break through, it inevitably caused a moment of delay.
Li Luo grinned as he watched them panicking and trying to escape. He stretched out his hands and snapped his fingers coolly.
With that, all of the catalyst flames that he had planted earlier exploded.
Bang!
The valley shook violently, as if it was about to flip upside down. A frighteningly large amount of energy shot into the sky in a gigantic beam, causing the worldly natural energy in their surroundings to churn vigorously.
Everyone"s face changed completely when they sensed the enormous amount of worldly natural energy.
Even Li Fuling and the rest were shocked to see this.
They were not aware that such an enormous pool of worldly natural energy had been hidden underneath this valley. Most importantly, how had Li Luo triggered it?
Li Luo did not have time to explain anything to them at the moment. As the worldly natural energy shot up into the sky and condensed, a large number of Guardian Spirits began to sp.a.w.n.
These Guardian Spirits were both superior in numbers and strength compared to what they had previously fought.
Amongst them were even Guardian Spirits reaching seven-pearl tier levels of power!
Of course, Spirit Resonance Golden Dew had also started forming. There were so many of them that Li Fuling, Li Fengyi, and the rest were left dumbfounded at the sight.
No one dared to move a single muscle, as none of them wanted to attract the attention of the Guardian Spirits.
Zhao Fengxu and his group watched the Guardian Spirits with dry mouths. They knew that they had fallen into the Dragon"s Fang Lineage"s trap. These people had been waiting for them to head into the valley before they triggered their trap, causing the Guardian Spirits to sp.a.w.n and fight against them.
"Retreat slowly." Zhao Fengxu said in a soft voice as he attempted to step back.
However, this proved fruitless. They were the ones closest to the Guardian Spirits after all. Moreover, they were right in the middle of the valley where the energy eruption had just occurred. Once the Guardian Spirits sp.a.w.ned, they glared down at them furiously and launched their attacks.
"Fight them off. Send out signals for help!" Zhao Fengxu shouted.
Taking the lead, he charged towards the Guardian Spirits. Seven radiant Heavenly Pearls appeared behind his back immediately. They sucked in the worldly natural energy from the surroundings, powering him up for his Duke Arts. In the blink of an eye, wild winds swept up and manifested into a wild beast, attempting to stop the Guardian Spirits.
Zhao Shenjiang gritted his teeth as he threw a deadly stare towards Li Luo. "Li Luo, come down and fight me! Stop playing these little tricks!"
On the other hand, Li Luo simply watched him like a fool. Only an idiot would throw away the advantage they had earned!
Bang!
The Guardian Spirits clashed with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao and the Devil Fire Hall.
At the same moment, a flame flew high up into the air. The blaze showed a hundred beasts running, and it could be seen clearly from hundreds of miles away.
This was the distress signal sent from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao.
However, the rest of their force was currently fighting with everything they had. When this signal appeared in the sky, everyone in the surrounding mountains and forests was shocked.
Why were they asking for help when they had such a huge advantage?!
