Chapter 1600: Li Luo Takes Action

The sudden arrival of these exceptional reinforcements caused the entire City of Southwind to boil over with utter shock. Even the leaders atop the walls were completely dazed by this scene.

This was because the scope and quality of the reinforcements far surpassed anything they imagined. Li Luo had actually managed to marshall so many helpers?

The youth who had propped up House Luolan amidst ravenous wolves had reached such great heights? Gulp

Duze Beixuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva as his face remained pale as he remembered all of the times he had attempted to harass Li Luo in Astral Sage College. Even then, House Duze had often been at odds with House Luolan, competing against each other for their own interests and territory. In the past, he had originally thought that House Duze should participate in suppressing House Luolan during the Housemeet. That way he could severely humiliate Li Luo whom he had always disliked. In the end, the result had caused his horizons to broaden.

Duze Yan who had always targeted House Luolan would unexpectedly choose to provide crucial support to them when it mattered most.

From enemies, Duze Yan turned his blades towards House Luolan's enemies.

This caused Duze Beixuan to feel as though his actions were like that of a clown. On the contrary, House Jinque who always had good relationships with House Luolan had chosen to turn traitor. Duze Yan then took action himself, holding back House lord Si Qing. If he had not, who knew what the final result would have been if another enemy Duke had been added to the fray? After that, Duze Beixuan greatly expressed his opposition to Duze Yan's actions. He also tried to seek support from his elder sister as he knew that she and Jiang Qing'e had often been at odds but to his dismay, Duze Honglian actually supported his father's actions. He had always felt resentful towards this decision but upon seeing this sight today, he understood that there was a huge gap in his vision between his father, his sister, and him. "Father, Elder Sister, it looks like the choice you made in the past was the right one. Li Luo truly is a talented genius and pitting myself against him was the work of a fool." Duze Beixuan suddenly spoke with a low voice, deep admiration evident in his tone. It was hard to imagine how desperate a situation they would be in if they had opted to throw stones down the well during the Housemeet. Duze Yan's cold expression looked a little strange as well. He had taken action in the past because of the shadows left behind in his heart from the miserable beatings Li Taixuan had inflicted upon him. At the same time, he just knew from the bottom of his heart that Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan would not easily perish in the Nobles' Battlefield. If he participated in the attack on House Luolan, when the couple returned, he wouldn't have a good end either. Meanwhile in the current situation just Li Luo alone was enough to deal with him... that brat even had a blank palace in the past but in a few short years had grown so much! Duze Honglian's red lips twitched slightly. She hadn't been thinking so far into the future. It was just that her dumb brother always thought that she hated Jiang Qing'e when in truth it wasn't that. It was actually a begrudging and unyielding admiration towards someone much better than her. She would often take the initiative to compete against her but never truly wished for anything to happen to her. Thus when Duze Yan had changed his mind to support House Luolan, she was filled with great joy. Even so, all of their inadvertent and unexpected moves had led House Duze onto the right path.

"If House Jinque's Si Qing knew of this, perhaps he might no longer be able to sleep or rest easily in the coming days." Duze Honglian's heart celebrated upon seeing someone else suffer a calamity. House Jinque was supposed to be House Luolan's most stalwart ally but Li Luo was not a heartless person either. With their friendship, House Jinque could have ensured their future stability and prosperity in the Xia Kingdom.

It was a pity everything was ruined now.

Whilst the three from House Duze were feeling extremely lucky due to their prior decisions, Yu Lang was even more excited. The blood stained dagger in his hands dropped to the flow as he took two steps back and burrowed himself into Bai Doudou's arms. "What's wrong? Are you alright?" Bai Doudou asked with concern.

She then heard Yu Lang's shaking voice murmur, "Damn it! He's so cool!"

Emotions filled with amazement, envy, excitement and all sorts of complex emotions filled him. Bai Doudou was speechless, almost wishing to shove this idiot away.

On the wall, everyone looked as though they had been smote by a bolt of lightning. Pang Qianyuan and Lan Lingzi couldn't help but to grin for the first time as the latter glanced at the female with a single Crown. She respectfully smiled and greeted her, "It turns out that the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's Dragon's Scale Lineage chief Qingying is here. On behalf of the Academic Federation, I thank the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li for travelling the distance to support us."

As a King from the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, she instantly recognized her.

Li Qingying then gave a little smile as she replied, "Vice principal Lan Lingzi is too polite. The reason why the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li was mobilized today is all due to Lineage chief Li Luo's actions."

"Lineage chief Li Luo?" Pang Qianyuan and Lan Lingzi looked dumbfounded upon hearing her words as they turned towards Li Luo. They knew what this title represented and that meant despite his young age, he had become one of the most authoritative individuals in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li? This was something even Li Taixuan had been unable to achieve. It was no wonder why the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li had went all out!

Weng!

As the newcomers exchanged words with the defenders, the Four Pestilence Kings in the distance were a little startled as they could sense the new undulations of resonant power that had just arrived. However after confirming that there was only one new King, they regained their calm.

A single King wouldn't be enough to turn the tides in this situation.

Their opponents had three Kings whilst they had four so they still had the advantage. The Four Pestilence Kings then began to let out resounding screeches which caused the corruption that filled the heavens and the earth to spread rapidly as the infinite horde of Others rushed out like a wave towards the City of Southwind yet again.

At this point the Four Pestilence Kings no longer hesitated as they stepped into the air, using their own special methods to launch four torrents of malicious corruption which pierced through the void, directly towards the city. The actions of the Others did not go unnoticed as the atmosphere surrounding the City of Southwind turned tense. The sound of drums booming echoed through every corner.

Pang Qianyuan and Lan Lingzi's expressions turned solemn as they no longer dared to tarry, taking the lead to rush into the skies. Boundless amounts of worldly natural energy gathered around them and their Crowns took form whilst source origin energy billowed out in all directions. "Lineage chief Qingying, we'd beseech you to lend us a hand in dealing with the Four Pestilence Kings!" Pang Qianyuan said heavily.

"Alright." Li Qingying naturally assented to it.

The three then stepped into the skies as well as their Crowns which swirled with source origin energy began to rumble as the void behind them began to undergo a transformation, revealing mysterious phenomena.

Weng!

As they took action, they resisted the assault from the Four Pestilence Kings. At that instant, the Enchanting Fox King with its revealing clothes let out a seductive laugh, shooting towards the City of Southwind in a stream of black light. Pang Qianyuan frowned. The opponent was naturally trying to use their superior numbers to force their way into the city and cause a massacre.

On the walls, everyone's expressions changed. An Other King was an invincible opponent and if the Enchanting Fox King managed to reach them, they would die without a doubt.

At this point the gigantic dragon floating in mid air outside the City of Southwind let out a roar as he swatted out with his humongous claw.

The sharp talons which were akin to divine weapons sliced through the void like a hot knife through butter, opening up a spatial rift where draconic roars could be heard. A moment later, dense divine light spilled out from the cracks in the void, wrapping around his claws.

It was the Three Divine Dragon's Demon Smiting Light! Six Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds with all sorts of different resonant powers appeared, greedily devouring the worldly natural energy around him before funnelling resonant power into the Heavenly Dragon. However that was not all as sacred crystalline light spread from the claws, seemingly containing billions of crystal symbols within, condensing into peerless crystal armor around it.

The crystalline armour was beautiful to the eye and the surface was filled with countless runic patterns from antiquity as it let out an earthshaking wave of pressure upon being condensed. Upper Destiny grade Duke Art: Resplendent Crystalline Paragon's Arm. This was the Destiny grade Duke Art which Wang Xuanjin had gifted him. Li Luo had bitterly cultivated it and finally achieved some modicum of success. With the help of his upper sixth-grade Transcendent Duke strength, in combination with the Dragon Blood Atavism Art, Three Dragon's Heavenly Banner Canon and the Resplendent Crystalline Paragon's Arm, Li Luo's single claw swipe contained power that could annihilate the world with its sheer physical might.

"Scram for me!" Li Luo bellowed as his dragon claw descended across the sky, akin to a mountain falling, heavily crashing into the Enchanting Fox King which had circumvented the main battle with the Kings.
