Chapter 1460: Battling A Seventh-grade

When the squads of the East Divine Continent and the Thunderflame Divine Continent entered the minor world, numerous rays of light shot outwards, forming a gigantic screen of light that displayed what was going on within. Regardless whether it was the ancient colleges or the inner divine continent sage colleges, all of their squads had their attention directed towards the screen of light with interest.

At this point, a large number of them let out cries of shock. "Ah! Fang Xingyun is directly leading his group towards the East Divine Continent's squads. He doesn't plan to contest the Domain Traversal Platforms, but to settle things decisively."

"Hehe, Fang Xingyun is quite courageous. His overall strength is superior, so there's no need to scatter and fight the East Divine Continent over the numerous Domain Traversal Platforms. All he needs to do is win one decisive battle against them headfirst and he will naturally be victorious."

"Look over there, Fang Xingyun seems like he's bringing the Thunder Tribulation Sage College's squad directly towards Li Luo's Astral Sage College squad!"

"It seems like he's planning to target the largest variable, Li Luo! Once Li Luo is defeated, the East Divine Continent's squads will naturally fall."

"Fang Xingyun is quite decisive. Since Li Luo is the biggest uncertainty, then once he's dealt with him, there won't be any way for them to change the situation."

"With Fang Xingyun's strength as a lower seventh-grade Duke, no matter what Li Luo tries to do, it's probably futile."

Jiang Qing'e’s full attention was on the scene on the screen of light. She was focused on Fang Xingyun, who was headed towards Li Luo with a frown. A cold glint flickered through her eyes and her slender fingers clenched slightly.

Meanwhile, on the side of the Mythical Spirit Ancient College, Chi Li darkly smiled. He was incredibly angry at Li Luo for interfering with the situation with Chi Chan. Seeing Fang Xingyun defeat Li Luo would allow him to vent slightly and would also be beneficial for his subsequent negotiations with him.

At the Holymist Sage College's platform, Lu Ruyan had her arms crossed. This posture accentuated certain features of hers, and she relished the impending disaster Li Luo was about to face.

The gazes of numerous people containing all sorts of emotions were tightly locked on the sight before them, on the brink of a fierce battle that would soon unfold within the minor world.

......

"Fang Xingyun, your opponent is the Enlightened Sage College!" Guo Jiufeng shouted.

The six Duke Bergfrieds above him glowed with radiant light, and a hundred thousand feet of Divine Mist rushed into the sky, forming a rainbow that crashed towards Fang Xingyun.

However, his attack wasn’t even ten thousand feet away from its target when it was shattered by fiery, red sword energy.

A crimson-haired middle-aged man leading several individuals appeared in the air. This was Vice Principal Meng You from the Sacredsmoke Sage College.

"Guo Jiufeng, if you want to play, the Sacredsmoke Sage College will entertain you. Don't disturb the refined Vice Principal Fang." Meng You laughed as he wielded a red greatsword that seemed to flow with lava.

An ugly expression appeared on Guo Jiufeng’s face when Meng You blocked his way. He knew what Fang Xingyun was planning, and it was obvious he looked at Li Luo with great importance. Thus, he had directly targeted Li Luo from the very beginning.

As long as he utilized his advantages from the start, he would be able to quickly crush Li Luo.

"A grand high-grade Duke attempting to squash a second-grade Duke from the get-go is a little demeaning, don't you think?" Guo Jiufeng shouted coldly, his voice booming like thunder so it would reach Fang Xingyun's ears. This was his attempt to provoke the opponent. Alas, he was not met with a single response from the latter.

The Thunderflame Divine Continent's other squads then moved into place to obstruct the rest of the squads from the East Divine Continent, including Wang Xu's squad, making it hard for them to leave to reinforce.

Thus, all eyes were now focusing on the Thunder Tribulation Sage College led by Fang Xingyun and their upcoming battle against the Astral Sage College.

When the distance between the two squads was several hundred feet, Fang Xingyun stopped in his tracks and his sharp gaze locked onto Li Luo. "Guo Jiufeng spoke of you as though you were an ordinary second-grade Duke, but I don't know who is dumber, me or him. Who did the East Divine Continent rely on to reach this point? Does he really not know in his heart?"

Li Luo smiled. "Then should I be thanking you, Vice Principal Fang, for looking upon me so favorably?"

At the same time, his gaze swept across the squad from the Thunder Tribulation Sage College, and his heart sank. He discovered that on top of Fang Xingyun, there was also an experienced mentor at the lower Sixth Duke Stage.

"As expected from the sage college with the deepest foundations in the six outer divine continents."

Li Luo sighed in his heart. The strength of the Thunder Tribulation Sage College would definitely reign within the upper-middle ranks of the inner divine continent sage colleges. In comparison, the Astral Sage College's lineup was completely inferior in every way.

The upcoming battle would definitely be bitter. Even if he could hold back Fang Xingyun, the lower sixth-grade Duke would be able to sweep over Chi Chan and the rest. Once the Astral Sage College's squad was eliminated, the rest would also be encircled and defeated.

"Leave that lower sixth-grade Duke to me. However, I'll need Elder Sister Hongyou's help," Lu Qing'er suddenly said.

Li Luo looked at Lu Qing'er with a hint of surprise. She was only a first-grade Transcendent, and yet she was capable of holding back a lower sixth-grade Duke? Was she able to surpass the gap of three grades as well?

"I'm not as disgusting as you are, but if I only need to temporarily hold him back in a one-on-one, that's doable," Lu Qing'er explained coolly.

Li Luo hesitated momentarily before nodding. Lu Qing'er undoubtedly had her own trump cards, and he could sense a terrifying aura within her. The source was likely the Permafrost Sacred Seed of Golden Dragon Mountain's Lu family. "Then I'll leave him to you."

At the same time, Li Luo looked towards the three mentors. "Esteemed mentors, you'll just have to hold the enemy back. Once this battle is over, the position of first place will belong to the East Divine Continent!"

He finally turned towards Li Hongyou.

"I'll leave the rest in your hands, Senior Hongyou."

There was no need to doubt Li Hongyou's importance in the team. After all, if Li Luo was able to achieve victory here, it would definitely have to do with Li Hongyou's ability to supplement his power. She nodded lightly and then bit her fingertip, spilling fragrant, fresh blood. With a quick series of motions, she created two golden seals. Vermilion Fruit Godly Transformation Seals! The two seals then shot into Li Luo and Lu Qing'er's bodies, and their resonant power undulations swiftly rose. At the same time, Li Hongyou created three ordinary Crimson Heart Golden Seals. Their effect was much weaker, but there was no other choice. Her current abilities only allowed her to support two Vermilion Fruit Godly Transformation Seals.

After buffing her squad members, Li Hongyou's gorgeous face had turned much paler. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad grunted their thanks.

A moment later, they shot towards the Dukes of the Thunder Tribulation Sage College, and numerous majestic Duke Bergfrieds rushed into the sky.

Above Li Luo, two Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds that resembled suns began to devour copious amounts of worldly natural energy.

"Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds are truly worthy of envy." Looking at the two Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds oozing the aura of perfection caused Fang Xingyun to sigh lightly. After which, seven Duke Bergfrieds manifested in the air and a frightening pressure descended upon the field.

"However, I don't believe that you, a second-grade Transcendent, will be able to jump five grades to challenge me!"

When he finished speaking, Fang Xingyun's gaze surged with thunder energy. He took a step forward and transformed into a bolt of thunder, splitting the void and swiftly appearing before Li Luo.

This action was out of everyone's expectations. No one had expected that he would take advantage of Li Luo's lack of preparation and deliver a killing blow right off the bat!

Bang!

Fang Xingyun's hand was clenched into a fist as he struck, creating a manifestation of thunder energy in the shape of a fist. It was wrapped completely with flowing thunder, shattering the void as it flew towards Li Luo with invincible momentum. His attack was sudden, but it was fortunate that Li Luo had been on alert from the very start. The moment he saw the thunder energy flickering in his eyes, he had already clenched his fist in response.

The Dragon Elephant Thunder Blade instantly appeared within his grasp.

Thunder energy poured down the blade like a waterfall as he held it up horizontally, using it as a shield to block the incoming strike.

Bang!

A deafening thunderclap boomed when the attack landed, echoing throughout the vast space of the minor world.

The void fragmented like glass and Li Luo was sent flying thousands of feet away by Fang Xingyun's violent punch, crashing through several towering mountains! Regardless, everyone was shocked, whether they were inside or outside of the minor world. Fang Xingyun had acted mercilessly and decisively. Would Li Luo be eliminated with a single punch?
