Chapter 0786 – Lu Qingmei

Layer thirty-five of the Fiendish Devil Cave.

Over a thousand silhouettes with strong resonant power stood quietly atop a mountain, breathing in and out in sync, as if they were a single entity.

A tall and beautiful figure stood aloofly in front of them, gazing upon the misty clouds and mountains.

This was none other than Lu Qingmei, Banner Leader of the Holy Scale Banner.

She had an oval face shaped like a goose egg and smooth skin like jade porcelain, glittering under the bright sunlight. She was wearing a close-fitting, black robe with long sleeves and had short and tidy hair that only covered her ears. She was truly a beauty, just like Li Hongli of the Dragon's Blood Lineage. However, their temperaments were clearly different. Li Hongli acted high and mighty with an air of superiority, while Lu Qingmei was aloof and indifferent to the world around her.

There were no emotions on her cute, oval face; it was calm like the deep sea.

As the wind blew, her tight-fitting, black robes further displayed the exquisite curves on her tall and thin body.

The most amazing part was her long, straight, and slender legs with astonishing proportions relative to her height. She was holding a long, glass rod that glowed with a mysterious luster. Densely covered with what seemed like cracks, the glazed stick appeared fragile, like it could shatter with the lightest touch.

This was the Shattering Glazed Rod. Despite its appearance, only those who had fought with Lu Qingmei knew its fearsome force.

"Sister Lu, this match up seems kind of… uneventful," a young and tall guy behind her said as he gazed upon her with admiration. He was none other than the Sub Leader of the Holy Scale Banner's second division. Having followed her for such a long time, he knew her character very well. Despite being a lady, she was actually a martial arts fanatic.

She was only interested in fighting and would only feel excited when her opponent posed a threat to her.

If one were to talk to her about romance, she would only respond coldly to it.

Hearing his words, Lu Qingmei did not reply. However, there was a trace of boredom within her eyes.

So, their opponent would be Li Luo from the Green Nether Banner? She had heard of his name and knew he was the son of Li Taixuan. She was also aware that he had just returned from an outer divine continent last month.

He was known to be gifted with rare triple resonances. Moreover, he had obtained the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art as soon as he arrived.

He should have been a worthy opponent at first glance.

Unfortunately, he had wasted most of his time in a resource-deprived outer divine continent and was still at the Fiend Palace Tier, not even at the Fiend Body Tier.

On the other hand, Lu Qingmei was already at the Fiend Finisher Tier with over eight hundred feet of Fiend Dipper energy accumulated. She was second only to Li Qingfeng of the Gold Blood Banner in the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages.

Whether it was the banner or the leader, the gap in their strength was immeasurable.

"Let's kill the Fiendish Devil Leader first. Then we will wait for them to arrive," Lu Qingmei ordered.

No one had any objections to it. The Fiendish Devil Leader of layer thirty-five was a piece of cake that posed no threat to them.

As such, the first division of the Holy Scale Banner charged forward and rushed all the way to the deepest depths of layer thirty-five.

Without much effort, they beheaded the Fiendish Devil Leader that stood guard over the exit.

And they had done all this without a single member lost.

They were truly the vanguard team for the rank two banner. It was a terrifying and domineering display of strength!

Li Luo and his fifth division only arrived at the scene four hours later, but all that awaited them was the Holy Scale Banner's first division.

Looking at the imposing presence of his opponent, his heart inadvertently trembled slightly. They possessed an overwhelming aura of dominance, a presence that was far fiercer than even the Gold Light Banner from the Dragon's Fang Lineage.

His eyes and attention soon turned towards the person sitting cross-legged on the boulder in front.

At the same time, Lu Qingmei opened her eyes, which were clear like gemstones. A handsome figure with grayish-white hair was standing right in front of her.

Unfortunately, Li Luo's handsome face could not help in any way as she was completely uninterested in shallow demeanors.

"You guys are a little slow," she said while maintaining her usual composure.

"Well, it was only because we were afraid of being ambushed by you guys," Li Luo replied cheekily when he saw the nervous looks on his division’s faces.

Hearing this, the opponents broke out in uncontrollable laughter.

It seemed like Li Luo did not know his own standing at all. In the Dragon's Fang Lineage, not even Deng Fengxian would be qualified to be ambushed by the Holy Scale Banner.

Nonetheless, Lu Qingmei remained indifferent towards his comment. She looked straight at Li Luo and asked seriously, "Do you want to fight?"

"Of course. We can't just admit defeat, that would be too humiliating," Li Luo responded with a smile.

Lu Qingmei nodded slightly when she witnessed Li Luo’s courageous display. With a flick of her finger, a stick of short incense was embedded into a nearby rock. Immediately, the incense lit up and white smoke arose.

"If any of you remain by the time this incense finishes burning, it will be considered your win. All the earth fiend energy here and the God Origin Pill will be yours," she told Li Luo.

"You're giving us a chance?" Li Luo replied in shock.

However, Lu Qingmei merely glanced at Li Luo and replied coldly, "I will never give my opponents any mercy when it comes to fighting. However, I do not want to bully others either. That is pointless. Of course, I hope that this motivates you to struggle harder at death's door. That way, you might even bring me a pleasant surprise. Otherwise, this would simply be too boring."

Li Luo was left speechless. He could clearly sense that she was passionately looking forward to the fight despite her cold and beautiful appearance.

He smiled helplessly and replied, "I'll do my best." Despite how hurtful it was to his pride, he did not reject her suggestion, as he knew that the difference in their strength was simply too great.

At this moment, he said no further words and simply waved his hand at the fifth division banner members. They entered the state of Harmony without hesitation, and waves of majestic energy swept up across the forest.

On the other side, Lu Qingmei also stepped forward in front of the Holy Scale Banner's first division. In an instant, torrents of energy rose up from behind her, radiating a crushing aura.

Holding the Shattering Glazed Rod firmly in her hand, she stared coolly at Li Luo.

Li Luo instantly reacted by forming hand seals with lightning speed, creating a series of afterimages with his hands.

He was well aware of how formidable his opponent was, and he had no intention to probe her. He had to go all out from the get-go.

There was a deafening roar of majestic energy, and a terrifying dragon silhouette could be seen lurking in the sky above the Green Nether Banner's fifth division. With its imposing presence, the dragon slowly opened its mouth and revealed its sharp fangs filled with lightning.

"Nine Revolutions Art, Heavenly Dragon Lightning Breath!" Li Luo summoned his Nine Revolutions Art without any hesitation.

The lightning dragonbreath flowed out like a silver river pouring through the void, causing the space around it to twist and turn. The rumbling sound of thunder followed as it traveled through the forest.

As the lightning dragonbreath was reflected in Lu Qingmei's eyes, she raised her eyebrows a little. “Heavenly Dragon Lightning Breath? It seems like Li Luo is quite talented after all.”

In response, she tightened her grip on her Shattering Glazed Rod, and gold light erupted from it.

The silhouette of a deer appeared in the golden light behind her.

Looking closer, one could see a nine-colored halo floating at the back of the deer's head.

When Li Luo saw the golden deer silhouette, he recalled the information he had heard about Lu Qingmei.

Fiend Finisher Tier Lu Qingmei, quasi ninth-grade Nine-Colored Golden Deer resonance.
