Chapter 1133: Chaotic Fight
Chapter 1133: Chaotic Fight
Wang Kong was very tall in his battle state, and grayish-white energy circulated around his skin. He was like an impenetrable statue with a great battleax in his hand. When he swung his ax, terrifying shockwaves shook the void, threatening to tear it open.
In the sky above was a Heavenly Resonance Diagram flowing with immense grayish-white energy. Thousands of towering rocks and boulders could be faintly spotted in the diagram. It was an extremely majestic sight.
Judging from his Heavenly Resonance Diagram, Wang Kong possessed a stone resonance.
He swung his battleax and fought against the three Greater Evil Spirits as a rocky behemoth. His hits were extremely heavy, and every time he swung his battleax, one of the Greater Evil Spirits was forced back. Attacks from the Greater Evil Spirits sometimes landed on him, but they were completely negated by the energy enveloping his skin.
Clearly, Wang Kong possessed astonishing defense with his stone resonance.
His Heavenly Resonance Diagram was eighty-five thousand feet wide, as expected of someone at the peak of the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier.
After all, it was said that Heavenly Resonance Diagrams could potentially reach one hundred thousand feet. This was why he could stand up against three Greater Evil Spirits alone and prevent them from joining the other battles.
Yue Zhiyu was handling two of the Greater Evil Spirits. Her Heavenly Resonance Diagram was dazzling; it was full of light resonance and exuded a divine aura.
Although, it was slightly weaker than Wang Kong\'s at around eighty thousand feet. This did not mean that she was any weaker than Wang Kong, however. After all, the size of the Heavenly Resonance Diagram was just a reflection of one\'s progress. Their actual battle strength depended on other factors like their Duke Arts, treasured artifacts, or other secret arts.
When it came to those matters, Yue Zhiyu was extremely well-equipped.
She held a golden scepter in one hand, and the top of the scepter contained a milky-white jewel around the size of a fist. It emitted intense light energy pulses and was engraved with three violet eyes.
Yue Zhiyu\'s triple violet-eye treasured artifact greatly amplified her light resonant energy, and she was able to push back both Greater Evil Spirits.
Besides them, Meng Zhou, Zheng Yunfeng, and the other student from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College\'s Upper Hall were fighting one Greater Evil Spirit each.
Although they were able to hold off eight Greater Evil Spirits, they were clearly panicking. Two of the Greater Evil Spirits had managed to break free from the battle and were heading towards the other students behind them.
It turned out that there were dozens of people over there.
Amongst them were a few familiar faces—Zong Sha, Jiang Wanyu, Lu Jinci, Deng Zhu, and a few others from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.
The strongest of the group was only a True Seal-grade.
Even with their advantage in numbers, they were like weak little foxes waiting to be culled in front of the two Greater Evil Spirits.
When the Greater Evil Spirit launched its first strike, the student in the True Seal-grade who took the hit spat out blood immediately. He stepped back hastily as his whole arm was completely mangled and bloody.
"Don\'t split up. Let\'s strike together!" Zong Sha shouted. In such a situation, they would only leave more openings if they were separated. They needed to work together in order to buy themselves some more time.
Jiang Wanyu, Lu Jinci, Deng Zhu, and the group pushed the fear aside. Radiant Heavenly Pearls appeared behind them, and attacks full of resonant power flew out one after another.
Zong Sha, at the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier, channeled all his strength into the Heavenly Resonance Golden Seal above his head and charged towards the Greater Evil Spirit directly.
Hit by their coordinated attack, the expression on one of the Greater Evil Spirit\'s face twisted. Gooey corruption spilled out of it along with strange whispers. The rolling miasma flooded out to stop their coordinated attacks.
Everyone\'s resonant power was quickly depleted. Soon, the Heavenly Resonance Golden Seal and the Heavenly Pearls from Zong Sha and the rest turned dim.
Some of them spat out blood from the aftershock of the attacks. At the same time, they could sense the corruption seeping into their minds. As they had to spend effort to guard their minds and sanity, their resonant power circulation slowed considerably.
Dozens of students watched in terror. They now understand how truly frightening Greater Evil Spirits were.
"Hissssss."
The "evil" characters on the Greater Evil Spirits wriggled. It was as though they were making vicious and deadly expressions. At the next moment, extremely sharp, white nails shot out of the tips of their hands and flew towards the crowd like scything blades.
Everyone watched on in horror.
"Don\'t just sit there waiting to die. Prepare to self-destruct your Heavenly Pearls to defend yourselves!" Zong Sha shouted as blood spewed out of his mouth. His eyes were bloody red as a result of the intense struggle.
They had been forced into a corner by the two Greater Evil Spirits. Their only hope was to buy some time by detonating their own Heavenly Pearls for a brief boost in power, or the Heavenly Resonance Golden Seals in Zong Sha\'s case.
Jiang Wanyu, Lu Jinci, Deng Zhu, and the rest gritted their teeth. One after another, the Heavenly Pearls behind them began to shine with even greater intensity. They were on the cusp of harming their foundation in exchange for greater power.
However, just as they were about to do so, a red ribbon flew towards them. Looking like a crimson snake, it curled about and formed a defensive line in front of the group, blocking off the sharp nails full of white energy.
Clang, clang, clang!
Crisp sounds reverberated in the ears of Jiang Wanyu and the group.
Wang Kong, Yue Zhiyu, and the group were pleasantly surprised to see the sudden arrival of aid. Immediately after, they saw two figures leaping across the sky and landing in front of Zong Sha and the group.
"Li Hongyou!"
"Li Luo!"
Wang Kong and Yue Zhiyu finally heaved sighs of relief when they saw Li Hongyou. She was, after all, ranked tenth in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College and had arrived at the nick of time. Although her Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit resonance was not suited for offense, her assistance in group battles was much more impactful than those ranked above her.
Li Luo took a glance at the people behind him and asked, "Wanyu, are you guys alright?"
Jiang Wanyu nodded. She wiped off a trace of blood leaking from the corner of her mouth as she said, "Thank God you guys arrived. Otherwise, we might have died fighting them."
The faces of the others were also full of excitement as they had narrowly missed the gates of death.
Li Hongyou checked their condition and then waved the Blackwood Feather Fan. The light of life combined with a few traces of her crimson energy fell upon the group.
They could feel the resonant power in their bodies recover rapidly, and the strange whispers that had been corrupting their minds vanished without a trace.
The excruciating pain on their bodies swiftly subsided with her aid.
"Thank you, Senior Hongyou!" Zong Sha exclaimed. Experiencing just how magical her presence was, he immediately understood why Wu Changkong and Feng Lingyuan were dying to have her on their teams.
Li Hongyou nodded slightly. She lightly caressed the feather fan in her hand with eyes full of satisfaction. Although the Blackwood Feather Fan was only a single violet-eye treasured artifact, it was perfectly suited for her.
She then looked towards the two Greater Evil Spirits in front. They were radiating an overwhelming amount of corruption. They were much bigger than ordinary Evil Spirits, and they had several pairs of arms.
"Two Greater Evil Spirits..."
Li Hongyou bit her lip lightly. Although she was at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier, she was not a fighter. She could tie one Greater Evil Spirit down at best, but if it was two of them, she would likely be left at a disadvantage.
"Senior Hongyou, I\'ll help you." Li Luo walked up at this point. Even against two Greater Evil Spirits, he had not shown any fear.
Six radiant Heavenly Pearls materialized behind his back.
At the same time, he activated all the golden water pearls in his waterlight resonance palace. Source origin energy flowed out of the water pearls and fused with his resonant power.
In the blink of an eye, the number of Heavenly Pearls behind Li Luo increased to eight in total!
In fact, a faint glow appeared just beside his eighth Heavenly Pearl.
That was the embryonic form of a ninth Heavenly Pearl. However, getting to the nine-pearl tier was an extraordinary achievement. Even though it was just temporary, it was a gap just too great for Li Luo to leap across now.
Li Hongyou took a glance at the Heavenly Pearls behind him. No doubt, his battle strength was far ahead of his peers. However, it would not be so easy to pose a threat to these Greater Evil Spirits. Moreover, she would not be able to hold them down like how she had done with the ordinary Evil Spirits, so Li Luo would not be able to deal critical strikes as easily as before.
It would already be a blessing if the two of them could fend off the two terrifying enemies. Finishing them off was an entirely different thing, and she wasn\'t suited to do so.
Li Hongyou\'s gaze flashed as a thought came to mind. Afterwards, she gave Li Luo a smirk. "Do you want to see what the nine-pearl tier feels like?"
