Absolute Resonance-Chapter 1136: Breaking the Stalemate
Chapter 1136: Breaking the Stalemate
Everyone on the field was shocked to see the Greater Evil Spirit finished off in a single hit. Jiang Wanyu, Zong Sha, and the rest could not believe their eyes.
This was a Greater Evil Spirit that could rival a Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator!
How had Li Luo slaughtered it with a single arrow?
Did the nine-pearl tier truly possess such monstrous strength?
Meng Zhou and Zheng Yunfeng were also stunned when they witnessed this. They looked over at Li Luo in confusion. Each of them was only on par with a Greater Evil Spirit, yet Li Luo had killed one such tenacious creature with a single arrow. Didn't that mean Li Luo could finish them off in a single blow too?
As they thought about it, they felt a chill run up their spines.
Luckily, they did not have any deep grudges with Li Luo. However, due to Wu Changkong's earlier interference, they had turned him down when Jiang Wanyu brought him over to look for teammates.
This was truly regrettable now that they had witnessed his superb skills. If they had known beforehand, they would definitely have kept themselves out of the issue between Wu Changkong and Li Luo.
"Alright!"
As everyone watched in surprise, Yue Zhiyu had snapped back to her senses. A brilliant flash lit up in her beautiful eyes and a look of excitement could be seen on her face.
Now that Li Luo had helped her finish off one Greater Evil Spirit, she had undoubtedly secured the upper hand in this battle.
She did not hesitate any further; she took advantage of the opportunity now that the attacks coming from the Greater Evil Spirits had weakened. Her light resonant energy surged up into the sky above, which rose up like the glaring sunrise.
Divine purification power enveloped their surroundings, and the corruption was completely cleansed.
In the next instant, a figure of light began to materialize behind her. This was her light spirit avatar.
It was the trademark of a ninth-grade resonance.
As soon as the light spirit avatar appeared, the light resonant energy in the surroundings gathered and condensed rapidly onto Yue Zhiyu.
She gripped her light scepter firmly and help it up. Beams of light shot out of the dazzling jewel on top of it and interweaved with each other, forming a giant cage that trapped the remaining Greater Evil Spirit.
The Greater Evil Spirit tried to tackl the beams of light. However, its body was charred black as soon as it made contact. The light resonant energy could purify it and caused an immense amount of pain on the Greater Evil Spirit.
Yue Zhiyu's face remained calm and emotionless. Her slender, jade fingers formed seals rapidly. At the end, she raised her light scepter into the sky.
Endless amounts of light energy gathered in the sky above. It transformed into a cloud of holy light that rapidly compressed itself. In the end, it transformed into a dense pillar of light that contained an extremely condensed form of divine might, descending from the sky like holy judgment. novelbuddy .com
Thousands of runes appeared within the pillar of light.
Yue Zhiyu's cold voice rang in the air. "Descent of God's Punishment!"
The lucent pillar fell from the sky like a holy sword that could slice through the heavens and earth, landing directly on the Greater Evil Spirit.
Bang!
Divine resonant power swept across the battlefield like a tsunami, and all the white mist in the surroundings vanished instantly.
The Greater Evil Spirit screamed in agony as it struggled to survive within the lucent pillar. Its skin began to melt, revealing that there was nothing underneath it but pure emptiness. It was a truly spooky sight.
At the same time, the "evil" character on its face began to fade.
Yue Zhiyu had activated this art with all her might. Along with her ninth-grade light resonance, it was enough to critically injure a Greater Evil Spirit even though it was as strong as a Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator.
As the divine pillar of light continued to incinerate it, the Greater Evil Spirit lost half of its skin; even its face had largely melted off.
However, the Greater Evil Spirit was tenacious. Despite this devastating attack, it still stood on the spot, swaying from side to side. Wriggling buds could be seen on its broken skin as it tried to repair itself.
But this was a fruitless struggle. The light resonant energy left on its injuries was powerful enough to purify the buds completely, making it very hard for it to recover.
At this point, a sharp noise resounded in the air. A light scepter flew through the sky and pinned the Greater Evil Spirit onto the ground directly. Enormous amounts of light resonant energy flowed out of the scepter like a torrent, covering the large body of the Greater Evil Spirit entirely. Finally, the "evil" character on its face was completely exorcized.
All that remained was a broken layer of blood-red skin lying on the ground.
Yue Zhiyu raised her hand, and the light scepter flew back to her as she looked at the dried-up skin. There was barely any expression on her face at this point. Although the Greater Evil Spirit was as strong, she was at the pinnacle of the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier. In addition, she possessed a lower ninth-grade light resonance, which was the archnemesis of these vile creatures. If there weren't two of them working together earlier, she would have easily finished the fight.
Nonetheless, she had to admit that with two Greater Evil Spirits working together, the fight would've dragged on for a really long time. This was something that they could not afford in their current situation.
Therefore, it was truly a blessing that Li Luo was able to finish one Greater Evil Spirit off so suddenly. This reduced the pressure on her and allowed her to break out of the stalemate.
Yue Zhiyu looked over at Li Luo. She frowned a little when she noticed the poisonous air surrounding him. Li Luo really had an amazing amount of aces hidden up his sleeve. Previously, she had heard about him getting external aid from a spirit beast. Such a method was restricted in this environment, so he could not use it here. However, it seemed like he still had this poisonous arrow as yet another trump card in his array of methods.
"Not bad," Yue Zhiyu whispered to herself. Although she was arrogant, she could not help but feel impressed. Li Luo had managed to finish off a Greater Evil Spirit when he was only at the nine-pearl tier.
Jiang Qing'e's fiance was slightly lacking in terms of cultivation level, but his skills were undoubtedly top-notch.
At the very least, this was something that Yue Zhiyu could not have pulled off when she was still at the Heavenly Pearl Tier.
"Oi, can you still use that poison arrow from earlier?" Yue Zhiyu asked Li Luo as she held firmly onto her scepter. She did not waste time pondering over the other little things.
Li Luo took a glance at her. He endured the extreme pain in his body and replied calmly, "I can only use it once more for now."
The poison arrow was a unique attack that possessed unparalleled might, but it required the user to fuse his own blood essence with the poison that afflicted him. This specially created fusion poison would then flow through his body, resulting in damage to himself as well. Therefore, it was a pyrrhic move that could not be utilized too often.
Nonetheless, that was to be expected. If an ordinary trump card allowed one to surpass the sheer difference in strength and finish off their opponents with minimal cost, it would not be a surprising feat.
Yue Zhiyu nodded slightly. "In that case, let's help Li Hongyou out first. I will hold off one of the Greater Evil Spirits and create a chance for you to finish it off."
Li Luo was surprised to hear this. "If I am the one to finish it off, I will get the merit for it."
Yue Zhiyu replied indifferently, "It's just one A Merit. You may find it very precious, but it's nothing to me."
Hearing this, the corner of Li Luo's mouth twitched a little. This girl was truly arrogant.
However, he did not mind—the more, the merrier. So he nodded in agreement.
Yue Zhiyu dashed to Li Hongyou's side. Immense amounts of resonant power surrounded one of the Greater Evil Spirit and attacks rained down incessantly onto it.
The pressure on Li Hongyou was reduced tremendously. She immediately heaved a sigh of relief as she wouldn't have been able to hold off the attacks from the two Greater Evil Spirits for much longer.
Yue Zhiyu summoned up all her strength. Her resonant power gushed out and suppressed the Greater Evil Spirit.
Li Luo drew his bow once again. The arrow shook fiercely on the bowstring like a living, raging serpent. Terrifying poison energy and its undulations of power shook his surroundings yet again.
In the next instant, the arrow was released. It flew through the air like a black beam of light, burrowing straight into the Greater Evil Spirit that had been suppressed by Yue Zhiyu.
Upon contact, the poisonous energy that filled the arrow corroded it. Pitch black orifices surfaced on its body immediately from the disintegrative effect, and the "evil" character on its face faded rapidly. fre ewebno vel.com
Very soon, it was turned into an inanimate, blood-red husk.
Li Luo fell on his butt. His arms were flowing with putrid, black blood and he had no energy left to draw his bow anymore.
The two arrows had exhausted all his strength.
Lu Jinci, Jiang Wanyu, and the rest hurried over. They formed a circle around him to protect him from any other dangers.
Li Luo sighed heavily. He had already done all that he could. The battles from this point onwards would no longer be his business. However, it was evident that he had done enough for the team. When Yue Zhiyu and Li Hongyou emerged victorious, the situation on the battlefield began to shift.
Their mission at this Soul Summoning Altar could already be considered a success.
