Absolute Resonance

Edge Art.

It was his favorite resonance art at the moment.
Although the grade of the resonance art was not high, it could demonstrate mind-boggling might, way beyond anyone ’s expectations.
Xu Ling had underestimated his Water Edge Art, and as a result, he had been struck down where he stood, even before he could react! 

It would be no surprise if Xu Ling became depressed as a result.
Looks truly were deceiving.
An expert cultivator had been struck down by an unassuming-looking blade!

After all, no one could predict that the fusion of water and light resonances could result in such simple but destructive results.

The Water Edge glinted as it continued to surround the shortsword.
Li Luo swept one blade downwards confidently, striking the Snow Leopard.
Unsurprisingly, the elemental creature was cleaved into two, exploding into a mass of snowflakes!

Without skipping a beat, he swung his other blade towards Guo Xiang, intending to end things.

Just before the blow was about to land, Guo Xiang suddenly squatted down and started cowering in fear.
”Stop! Don ’t hurt me! I believe you now! ”

Weng!

The descending blade stopped a few inches away from him.
The series of developments had left Li Luo a little surprised.
This brat was truly a genius, knowing when the odds were against him and quickly admitting defeat.

With a chuckle, Li Luo swapped to the flat side of the blade and smacked Guo Xiang ’s forehead, knocking him unconscious. 

”Wow, you ’re truly impressive.
An average Third Pattern can ’t even hold a candle to you. ” Lu Qing ’er sighed as she observed Li Luo ’s efficient elimination of foes. 

”They’re just two minor bandits, that ’s all.
Nothing special about it. ” He didn ’t feel particularly accomplished at this achievement.
Xu Ling ’s resonant power felt weak and unstable, and it was likely because he had just entered the Third Pattern Tier.
His strength wasn ’t extraordinary either, his resonance being lower seventh-grade.
This was nothing when compared to Li Luo, who had a seventh-grade waterlight resonance and a fifth-grade woodearth resonance.
Even without using dual resonances, he was easily able to crush him like a dried twig!

”Let ’s go and help Qin Zhulu.
He must be under significant pressure,” Li Luo said.
The two quickly turned and quickly made their way towards the icy snow-forest.
Berserk clashes of resonant power could be constantly seen as the battle was indubitably more intense.

A moment later, the duo finally arrived on the scene, managing to catch a glimpse of the combatants engaged in a fierce struggle.
Wave after wave of resonant power exuded outwards with each clash, devastating and felling the massive trees around them.

Qin Zhulu ’s eyes were completely crimson at this point, the golden tiger stripes on his body undulating with every strike as though they were constantly absorbing worldly natural energy.
His entire body had swelled several times larger and the heavy spear in his hand was pulsating with a dark-red resonant power.
Each blow he delivered was massive and like a peal of thunder as he attacked Ji Sun. 

Again and again, the strikes were accompanied by piercing sonic booms, rending both air and snow alike.

Despite being faced with this onslaught, Ji Sun seemed calm as ever, moving rapidly and constantly weaving in and out, dodging and leaving afterimages behind.
Only after successfully evading the majority of Zhulu ’s attacks did he take the opportunity to strike back.
Each time the lancet struck out silently like a gust of wind, it left behind a trail of blood in its wake as it effortlessly sliced through flesh.

However, these scratches were of no concern to Qin Zhulu.
He retaliated in kind with a heroic offensive, unafraid of death or injury.
As a result, this sort of berserk fighting style indirectly restricted Ji Sun, placing him in a situation  where he was unable to quickly dispatch his opponent without suffering grievous wounds.

Regardless, if things proceeded the way they had been, Qin Zhulu would eventually be whittled down over time.

Ji Sun was at the First Changing of the Evolving Resonance Tier.
When it came to comparing resonant power reserves and quality, he held the upper hand over Qin Zhulu.

Alas, this predictable situation was now plunged into chaos.

Why? Both Qin Zhulu and Ji Sun could sense Li Luo and Lu Qing ’er approaching.
One was clearly prepared for this outcome, whereas the other was left dumbfounded. 

Recognizing the disadvantageous situation, Ji Sun retreated slightly whilst keeping a close look on Li Luo.
”Well, well, well.
It looks like someone here has been hiding his true strength. ” 

He had originally assumed that the strongest fighter of the group would be the upper eighth-grade Snarling Golden Demon Tiger resonance trash, but it seemed he was mistaken. 

Clearly, it was this dog-looking brat that was the most secretive with his strength.

”Thanks to you, I have gotten a taste of how the Xia Kingdom ’s Golden Dragon Bank carries themselves. ” Ji Sun laughed coldly.

Li Luo was unconcerned with these meaningless words, quickly retorting, ”Sorry, but I have an important question to ask of you. ”

Unfortunately but not unexpectedly, this was met with an indifferent gaze.

However, Li Luo did not take this to heart, directly pointing at Lu Qing ’er.

”Do you know why pies keep falling from the sky wherever she walks? ”
