Absolute Resonance

Chapter 0835: The 12 Resonant Bubbles

The huge, blurry silhouette continued to suppress Li Luo and drain away his resonant power.

At this moment, his face was unusually serious. Qin Yi was truly troublesome, and her counterattack was really a pain in the ass.

He could sense that the resonant power leaving his body was gradually being transferred over to her through this giant silhouette.

Furthermore, there was a gap between their resonant power to begin with. If such a transfer continued unabated, the difference in strength would widen and it would surely end in a total defeat for him then.

"Ninth-grade resonance wielders are truly tricky opponents."

This was especially true when such a genius was in a position of high stature coupled with top-notch cultivation resources. The methods they possessed were truly mind-numbing to him.

Moreover, there was the Soul Ascension-grade body-tempering Duke Art and the secret arts comparable to the Nine Revolutions Arts.

Coupled with attaining Harmony with the Fire Lotus Camp, Qin Yi was as strong as a true top-tier first-grade Duke now.

At this moment, Li Luo focused and merged the resonant powers within him into dual resonance power. A high-grade power like this one would help slow down the absorption process. Nonetheless, this was only a method to delay for time, and he ultimately could not escape by simply doing this.

Clearly, Qin Yi had been planning this counterattack for quite a while. She might have started preparing this secret art as soon as Li Luo launched his shocking offensive earlier.

Since Li Luo's explosive attack had been halted by her Invincible Water Jade Armor, it was now his turn to be bitten and endure her counterattack.

Qin Yi parted her red lips slightly, and her crisp, clear voice flowed out like a stream of spring water. "Banner Leader Li Luo, the third realm of dual resonances is indeed extraordinary. However, it will only buy a bit of time. Your loss is inevitable, so why do you still bother with all this useless struggling? It may be more presentable for you to surrender now."

Hearing this, Li Luo laughed and replied jokingly, "I can admit defeat to anyone but you. If I do, my mother will give me a good beating when she returns one day."

"In that case, don't blame me for not holding back," Qin Yi replied calmly.

She formed more hand seals with her jade-like, slender hands. Countless runes glowed on the female silhouette for a moment, and the rate at which resonant power was sucked out of Li Luo rose rapidly.

Feeling the loss of strength, Li Luo displayed signs of panic on his face. However, there was a faint smile in the depths of his eyes.

"So you enjoy sucking people's resonant power that much, huh..."

Li Luo muttered to himself as a thought flashed through his mind. Twelve resonant bubbles slowly surfaced within his body. This was the Resonant Bubble Art, something he had cultivated a while ago to store up his resonant power. However, as his power had risen substantially recently, he was no longer interested in the storage effect.

It was simply too lackluster for him.

As such, Li Luo no longer used the resonant bubbles to store his resonant power. Instead, he had used it to store other things...

For example, the dual poison that was once left in his body.

This poison had been left behind by the surprise attack from Pei Hao. It was detrimental even against someone at the Heavenly Dipper General Stage. Although it would have been easy for Li Jingzhe to remove it from his body completely, Li Luo had left it alone.

And the reason was precisely for a time like this...

He smiled lightly as he focused his attention on the twelve pitch-black resonant bubbles within him.

It's time for Qin Yi to try out the trap that he had created on a whim.

With a thought, the twelve resonant bubbles burst open, and the thick poison spread out pervasively. Following this, he masked their presence with his dual resonance power and hid all traces. Although this was detrimental to his own resonant power as well, it was well worth a shot now, considering his limited options..com

Soon enough, he watched the dual resonance power filled with this poison leave his body and flow along the runic conduits before entering the giant silhouette. After a short moment, the resonant power made its way into Qin Yi's body. Li Luo continued watching curiously. He had no idea if the dual poison would be effective on her or not.

At this moment, Qin Yi started to feel uneasy because of this new gaze from Li Luo. She immediately put up her guard. Who knew what else this sly, cunning brat had up his sleeve?

Just as she was pondering over what trick he had pulled now, her expression started to change. Clearly, she had sensed an unusual development within her own body.

It was an odd and special force that started spreading within her body, eroding wherever it went.

"Poison?!" Qin Yi was shocked. She focused her attention on herself and sensed the pitch-black, poison gas spreading within.

"You dare to use poison?!" she hissed as she bared her silver teeth at Li Luo.

"Miss Qin Yi, you're truly a kind soul. How did you know that I was poisoned? How kind of you to cleanse it for me. Feel free to suck it all out, no need to be shy! I will not resist!" Li Luo replied as he opened his arms with a face full of anticipation.

At this moment, a strand of black air arose from her beautiful face. This poison was really aggressive. Both shocked and furious, she had to immediately channel her own resonant power and mitigate the effects of the poison before taking any further action.

As for the Fetal Reversion Art, she terminated it after pondering for a short while.

She was unsure just how much poison was in Li Luo's body. If she continued absorbing his resonant power along with the poison, it would be really troublesome even for her.

Without the art, the silhouette gradually faded away. Li Luo had finally regained his freedom.

He grinned as he said "You're too cautious, Miss Qin Yi. There is actually just a small amount of poison within me. Nothing more. If you had persisted, I would have had to admit defeat."

As he had already used up all twelve of his resonant bubbles, there was indeed nothing else that he could come up with to retaliate against her. However, he had taken this opportunity to skillfully infuriate Qin Yi.

At this moment, Qin Yi's face was pale and cold. Although she was usually calm and composed, she felt oddly furious when faced against Li Luo.

She took a deep breath, her chest heaving. She needed to calm down and cleanse the poison in her body with her ninth-grade water resonance.

This was a truly domineering poison. Even with the natural cleansing ability of her water resonance, she would need to expend a great amount of resonant power in order to get rid of it.

It seemed like the Fetal Reversion Art had caused her more pain than gain in the end!

It was really... frustrating!

"Banner Leader Li Luo, why do you bother with this worthless struggle? Your all-out attack was unable to break my Invincible Water Jade Armor. Even though you escaped from Fetal Reversion, the ending will still be the same," Qin Yi said calmly as she regained her composure.

Li Luo simply laughed in response. Indeed, her Invincible Water Jade Armor was truly formidable. He had never seen such a Duke Art before, and it was leagues above the Thunderpeal Avatar.

"Truly a top talent from a Heavenly Emperor power. She was able to master a Duke Art of such a high level..." Li Luo muttered to himself. He had seen such body-tempering Duke Arts in Dragon's Fang Cave. However, he had not picked them because his Thunderpeal Avatar was still sufficient for now.

Moreover, cultivating a body-tempering Duke Art was very challenging. He would need a huge amount of cultivation resources, which he could not afford currently.

He could tell from his previous strike that the Invincible Water Jade Armor had a really formidable recovery ability. Unless he was able to deliver a blow that could annihilate Qin Yi in an instant, she would surely recover from it speedily as seen previously.

Unfortunately, his resonant power was limited and he could not keep up with such attacks long enough to deal enough damage.

"Instant annihilation..."

A light flashed across Li Luo's eyes at this moment. He looked at the crimson bracelet on his arm. With the power of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf and Harmony, it would not be difficult to inflict such a blow on Qin Yi. However, with so many eyes watching, including ones belonging to King Stage experts, he did not know if this would be against the rules or not. Apart from the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf, there was still one thing that he could try.

As he pondered over it, the sword intent within his body started acting up. This was the galaxy of sword intent that he had cultivated for the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation.

It was an indomitable and unrivaled art. Even though it was not complete, it was still a Destiny-grade Duke Art. Could he break through the Invincible Water Jade Armor with it?
