Absolute Resonance

"Run!" some of the people screamed in shock.

At this point, the teams were no longer fighting amongst themselves. They brandished their resonance arts one after another, attempting to escape from the torrential rain of doom.

This sudden development had caught Li Luo off guard as well. He frowned. With his arrow already loaded onto the bow, this was the perfect chance to gravely injure Zhao Yan. However, he had been disrupted by the sudden appearance of the Divine Golden Clawed Bronze Condors.

He looked around, and the area afflicted by the beams of golden light was truly vast. Even his side was caught up in the midst of it. If he chose to leave them alone, it would cause quite a headache for him down the line.

Conversely, if he delivered a killing blow to Zhao Yan, his own resonant power and that of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf would be exhausted for sure. After all, the power of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf was still restricted by the Spiritual Resonance Cave.

In that case, the rain of golden light that blanketed the sky would be a threat to him.

But Zhao Yan had been such a troublemaker all this time; he had even teamed up with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing, Mu Yao, and the Devil Fire Hall. If Li Luo did not get rid of him here, he would definitely be a huge threat in the future.

Li Luo\'s eyes flickered briefly, showing his resolute and merciless decision.

At this moment, a figure flew towards him, only stopping when they were very close. Laughter followed, then he heard some very reassuring words. "Third Brother, just go ahead and do what you need to. I\'ll block the golden light for you."

It was none other than Li Jingtao.

Li Luo was a little surprised. However, he had no time to hesitate at this critical juncture. He nodded and replied, "I\'ll leave them to you, then, Eldest Brother. Take care of yourself. If you can\'t withstand it any longer, get away quickly!"

Li Jingtao smiled and said, "Don\'t worry, I may not be good at attacking, but I\'m very confident when it comes to defending."

He raised his head and looked at the rain of golden light that was heading towards him. With a loud and long cry, a huge shadow that seemed like both a dragon and a turtle materialized behind him. He then channeled his resonant power and formed seals with his fingers.

"Eight Carapaces Art, Six Carapaces Diamond Shield!"

Resonant power surged up and formed an energy shield that spanned hundreds of feet long in front of Li Jingtao. Different colored runes spread out across the shield\'s surface. There were six different kinds of runes, just like six different carapaces, allowing him to possess an impenetrable defense.

Li Luo took a glance at the energy shield Li Jingtao had just created. Although he was merely a two-pearl, his defensive arts were top notch. Based on his estimates, not even a four-pearl would be able to break through it in a single strike.

"Eldest Brother, you are getting further and further ahead when it comes to your defensive ability," Li Luo said with happiness in his eyes.

However, his eyes turned serious again as he looked back over at Zhao Yan. His Underworld Thunder Runic Arrow was already drawn at maximum power on his bow. From afar, it looked just like a raging lightning dragon that was being forcibly restrained. Moreover, it had been imbued with crimson energy as well, giving it an extremely fearsome appearance that sent chills up one\'s spine.

The dragon sigil between Li Luo\'s brows lit up at this point as the nine dragon scales came to life.

He could distinctly feel the uncontrollable lightning dragon squirming on his bow. No longer hesitating, he let go with a gaze flooded with murderous intent.

Ridiculous amounts of energy waves detonated through the air and thunder claps filled the sky. For a brief moment, the sharp condor hisses were drowned out completely.

The lightning dragon soared through the sky. It was so bright that even the rain of golden light looked like dull copper in comparison.

Everyone\'s attention was drawn to it. It seemed like Li Luo was more determined to finish off Zhao Yan than they had imagined.

Zhao Yan had also sensed Li Luo\'s commitment to dealing with him regardless of the consequences. This lightning dragon arrow was filled with all his power. The energy flowing through it was enough to leave him fearing for his life.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Yan retreated, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He wanted to find some helpers to defend against this attack. He could tell that Li Luo had reached his limit after finishing off Tian Miao earlier. The use of external power to aid him had inevitably caused a significant strain on his body.

As long as he was able to escape from this arrow, he would be able to handle the weakened Li Luo later.

But... no one was able to lend him a helping hand as he scanned his surroundings frantically. They were all too busy dealing with the attacks pouring down from the Divine Golden Clawed Bronze Condors.

"Damn it! Do you really think that I\'m like Tian Miao? Someone that can be killed off that easily?!" A vicious look appeared in Zhao Yan\'s eyes when he felt his life being threatened. Since there was no way to avoid it, he would face it head-on.

Li Luo\'s attack truly was fearsome, but was Zhao Yan just an ordinary weakling?

Zhao Yan took a deep breath and spat something out of his mouth. A dark, golden orb of light appeared, and inside it was a metal fragment engraved with ancient and complex runes.

"You\'re not the only one with a Royal Engraving!"

Zhao Yan laughed coldly. As the strongest member of the older generation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, he possessed his own ace to protect his life in such desperate situations.

This Royal Engraving was the Seven Treasures Pagoda, a sixth-grade Royal Engraving! It was a whole grade higher than the Underworld Thunder Runic Arrow used by Li Luo!

This was Zhao Yan\'s final trump card, and he had to pay a high price in order to obtain it. A sixth-grade Royal Engraving was an extremely rare treasure that was hardly seen even in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent headquarters of the Golden Dragon Bank. However, a Royal Engraving diminished with each use, and Zhao Yan would not want to use it if he really had a choice.

Evidently, he could not think too much now that Li Luo was coming after his life.

As the wild lightning dragon pierced through the sky, the golden fragment spat out by Zhao Yan exploded into a burst of scintillating light. At the next moment, it transformed into a giant pagoda a hundred feet tall.

There were seven levels to the pagoda, each with its own unique treasure that bloomed with majestic amounts of light.

As soon as the golden pagoda took form, the lightning dragon arrow exuding a ferocious aura cut through the air and crashed directly into it.

Bang!

Extremely fierce energy shockwaves erupted and the void shuddered. Thunderous booms filled the ancient plains.

Everyone\'s eyes were locked onto the clash of engravings.

Zhao Yan, who was under the protection of the golden pagoda, was staring intently at the point of contact with the lightning energy arrow. The Seven Treasures Pagoda emitted a seven-colored energy that continuously negated the immensely corrosive effect of the lightning.

Li Luo\'s attack was truly fearsome. Zhao Yan was left wondering if his sixth-grade Royal Engraving would be sufficient to fend it off completely.

The two fearsome powers struggled against each other for quite a while. Suddenly, a clear and crisp sound reverberated through the air.

It was faint, but in Zhao Yan\'s ears, it was no different from a resounding roar.

His eyelids trembled as he looked toward the direction where the sound had come from. A slight crack had appeared on the shield of light formed by the Seven Treasures Pagoda.

Zhao Yan\'s breathing stopped for a moment.

In that same moment, more cracks appeared throughout the shield. The berserk lightning energy was gradually penetrating his defenses!

He felt a chill rising in his heart.

How could a bastard like Li Luo pose such a huge threat to him? He didn\'t consider Li Luo at threat at all when he first entered the Spiritual Resonance Cave. Even though Li Luo had managed to secure the position of Dragon\'s Head, as far as Zhao Yan was concerned, it just meant that this generation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li was utterly trash. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that Li Luo would not only defeat Zhao Shenjiang, but also force him into such a dire predicament! If he had known earlier, he would have ignored Li Wuyuan back in the valley and focused all his strength on getting rid of the disaster known as Li Luo and the Dragon\'s Fang Lineage!

Sadly, regretting it now was pointless.

The violent and raging lightning spread rapidly across the shield before Zhao Yan\'s eyes. In the next moment, the shield formed by the Seven Treasures Pagoda finally reached its limit and the pagoda and shield both shattered. Zhao Yan looked horrified as he witnessed this scene. He left behind a series of afterimages as he retreated at maximum speed. At the same time, powerful resonant power flooded out of his body, forming a protective barrier. Although Li Luo\'s attack had broken through his Seven Treasures Pagoda, its energy had been largely used up in the process.

Despite beating a quick retreat, the Underworld Thunder Runic Arrow was even faster.

Bang!

In the sky above, only the roar of thunder could be heard. Although it was much dimmer than before, the lightning dragon arrow pierced the sky like a shooting star as it charged through the countless afterimages.

Before everyone\'s surprised gazes, it struck Zhao Yan directly. The layers of defenses around him were destroyed as the arrow drilled through his chest with a loud bang.
