Chapter 0511: Jing Taixu's Dragon-General Resonance Art

Boom!

The weathered sword hitting the green plantain fan raised a thick spray of sparks.

The rebounding shock pushed both Li Luo and Jing Taixu backwards. There was a half-finger-deep footprint in the ground after the impact.

Bang.

Jing Taixu gritted his teeth and tensed himself to stop the backsliding. He was no longer calm and smiling like he was before. There was a wild look in his eyes now.

He was fired up.

Li Luo's tenacity had surpassed his expectations.

Both of them had revealed the majority of their arsenals by now, and they had fought without holding back their energy. Their brutality had scored wounds against each other, but nothing serious enough to decide the battle.

Jing Taixu understood that he would have to do more to break the stalemate.

But as time wore on, his resonant power was depleting. Eventually, he would not have enough to muster his killing blow.

"Li Luo, you're very good," Jing Taixu said coolly, adjusting his grip on his plantain fan. His hand was bleeding. "But this battle will be mine."

Li Luo ignored him, because battles were not won with mere words.

Still, he could feel that there was a new frenzy in Jing Taixu's energy flow. A trump card was coming.

He gripped his Onyx-Elephant Blade tighter, leaning into its comforting reliability as he tensed up and prepared for whatever was coming.

Jing Taixu stretched out a finger to the wind and cut it with a perfectly controlled burst of wind energy.

Not flinching from the pain, he moved the finger smoothly across his green plantain fan, activating a crimson network of power that spread across the fan.

Uuuuu!

The winds howled with a new, eerie frequency.

Under their feet, the gravel rattled.

The wind spirit avatar that had been hovering behind him came to rest on the green plantain fan as well.

Immediately after, the weapon turned from a leafy green to a much more lustrous hue, as though it had turned to jade.

His hand shivered and shook as if he were trying to fight some immense power.

But in the end, he managed to bring the plantain fan smashing down.

Whoo!

A tremendous gust of wind energy burst out from the fan and then hovered in the air, consolidating into a jade-green cloud of power that grew brighter as more and more energy entered it.

A dozen breaths of time later, it shot up into the sky, proceeded by the faint sound of a dragon's roar.

Li Luo's eyes narrowed.

“That dragon's roar... could it be a dragon-general resonance art?

“Is Jing Taixu that strong?”

A flash of concern arose in Li Luo's eyes. Dragon-general resonance arts were the domain of those at the General Stage. The energy demands were beyond that of a Resonant Master Stage cultivator.

Jing Taixu was truly a genius.

Although he had only accomplished it with the help of his wind spirit avatar, this was shocking nevertheless.

Weng!

It rocked and swayed in the air.

Within the nimbus of light was a weighty spear, floating in the air. Each time the cloud of energy rocked around it in mid-air, it wrapped the spear in yet another fold of energy. Looking at the impending attack, Li Luo finally understood why Jing Taixu was hailed as the Spear of Enlightened Sage. It had to be because of this ultimate killing move. To be able to produce General Stage power—a dragon-general resonance art—while only a Resonant Master was impressive. Even though it was a low-tier dragon-general resonance art, it was still far beyond what a tiger-general resonance art could accomplish.

Li Luo himself was highly talented at resonance arts, but even he could not fully execute a dragon-general resonance art.

Jing Taixu had him beat in this regard.

Sun Dasheng's hacked version of a Duke Art was far from the Duke Art's true power—an insignificant fraction of the true destructive power.

"Li Luo! Sun Dasheng lost to this move of mine. If you can endure it, the golden resonant tree brooch can be yours!" Jing Taixu shouted proudly, then he brought his fan down.

"Low-tier dragon-general resonance art, Wind Demon's Wrath!

"Go!"

Jing Taixu's shout sent the spear streaking out like a thunderbolt from the sky, accompanied by a hissing scream as it tore through the air.

Li Luo watched the green arch fly towards him.

He studied it with serious concentration, sensing the danger of this attack.

He wouldn't be able to stop it with ordinary moves for sure.

Fortunately, he had some extraordinary moves as well.

Li Luo channeled all his energy into his sword and backed away to buy himself a bit more time.

"Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade, Level Two Divine Elephant Power!"

His Onyx-Elephant Blade had three levels of power. At the first level, the skin on his arm would be torn because he could not contain the power fully.

If the first level hurt him that much already, what about the second level?

Li Luo had never tried it before, but he was ready to.

Boom!

An ancient elephant's roar thundered out from within his body, and his face seized up.

He could feel the enormous power coursing through his arm.

And a terrible pain splitting him down the middle.

It was as though a massive elephant was charging up across his arm, pulverizing it into bits as it rampaged forward.

Li Luo lowered his head and watched both of his arms crumble before his very eyes.

Fresh blood rained out in thick streams.

This was the barbaric power of Level Two Divine Elephant Power. Li Luo's body was too weak to contain it at all. If this continued for too long, both his arms would be juiced into pulp.

Li Luo did not panic.

This was within his calculations.

He had no way to strengthen his body in a short amount of time, but he did have something else to help deal with this.

Ssss.

He inhaled deeply through his nostrils, the thick smell of blood coming to him. He immediately unleashed the resonance arts that he had prepared.

"Wood resonance art, Spirit Vine Threads.

"Light resonance art, Healing Sprites.

"Water resonance art, Spirit Water Art."

None of the above resonance arts were particularly advanced, but they played the same role of recovery.

That was how Li Luo was planning to counteract the drawbacks of Level Two Divine Elephant Power.

If he couldn't avoid damage, he would just patch damage back up as fast as he could.

A network of green vines spread out across his arms, holding the broken flesh together firmly.

At the same time, Healing Sprites and Spirit Water helped repair the damage.

Combined, their effect far exceeded their individual functions, and Li Luo's bleeding arms were actually stabilized.

It still looked gruesome., like a pair of roughly stitched zombie hands.

This was as good as Li Luo could manage.

It was enough for him to swing his sword.

Looking up at the epic, green spear barreling down on him, he lifted his sword with conviction.

A dragon-general resonance art against Divine Elephant Power. Let's see who has the better animal!
