Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1206: Interception

The four mysterious people enveloped in smoke dashed forward. Despite how thick the smoke was, it was unable to conceal the cold glints in their eyes.

On the other hand, Ox Biaobiao and Li Rouyun had gloomy expressions. They had never expected someone to make a move on the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's flying ship.

"My friends, might you have mistaken us for someone else? If you've gotten it wrong, you can still choose to leave. We don't want trouble. We can act as if nothing happened," Ox Biaobiao said with a heavy voice.

If it were just the two of them, they would’ve been able to escape. Unfortunately, and more importantly, Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e, and Li Hongyou were with them.

Thus, Ox Biaobiao did not mind attempting to weasel his way out of this way despite his personality.

When faced with his attempt to de-escalate the situation, a cold laugh came from the leading figure. A moment later, resonant power exploded outwards from their bodies and imposing Duke Bergfrieds began to surface one after another. The combined effect was like a gigantic black hole, sucking in all of the worldly natural energy.

These Duke Bergfrieds were also covered by the mysterious green smoke and made it impossible to learn more about them.

"One seventh-grade and three sixth-grade Dukes?" Just by counting the number of Duke Bergfrieds, Ox Biaobiao was able to estimate the opponents’ strength. Alas, his expression turned ugly as their last trace of hope was snuffed out.

This attack was clearly premeditated!

They had come precisely for them!

"Rouyun, take Little Luo and the rest away!" Ox Biaobiao's gaze turned ferocious. Even though the opponents’ lineup was far stronger than theirs, he was not intimidated. He waved his hand, and his signature butchering knife appeared in his hand, emanating a bloody air.

At the same time, seven Duke Bergfrieds appeared. His Divine Mist wafted around them, transforming into two gigantic beasts.

The first was a four-horned green bull and the other was an eye-catching golden bear. Both creatures roared, giving off a frightening aura that caused the void to shudder.

They were the Four Horned Godly Bull resonance and the Blue-eyed Golden Bear resonance.

Li Rouyun did not hesitate either. Six Duke Bergfrieds appeared, and her Divine Mist wrapped around the youths, protecting them as they shot off into the distance.

"You want to run?!" The leading figure let out a bone-chilling laugh as they quickly formed hand seals at lightning speed. "Duke's Worldspace Domain!"

A spiritual light rose from that person's head, then it propagated rapidly, enveloping the area at an alarming rate.

The Duke's Worldspace Domain was something that only Seventh-grade Dukes were able to use. Everything within the domain could be controlled according to the wielder's wishes, including worldly natural energy. This was like a titular Duke being the ruler of their own fief, the true master of everything within.

It was the signature move of a high-grade Duke. Those weaker than them would feel tremendous suppression within it. It was also like a prison; once one was captured, it was impossible to escape without breaking it forcefully.

Clearly, the attackers wanted to trap Li Luo and the rest, preventing them from leaving.

When Ox Biaobiao saw this, he snorted coldly. A spiritual light also arose from his head, and his own domain expanded, directly colliding with the enemy’s.

Bang!

When the domains collided, it was like two meteorites crashing against each other, triggering a terrifying energy storm. The mountains nearby were pulverized as a result.

"Intercept them!" The lead figure frowned when they saw that their domain was being restricted. They wanted to conceal their strength so their opponents couldn’t guess their identities. Thus, they did not immediately shatter Ox Biaobiao's domain.

The three other Dukes followed their order, immediately piercing through the skies like three rainbows of light and chasing after Li Rouyun.

When Ox Biaobiao saw this, he clenched his fist and struck outwards.

Duke Art: Demon Bull's Godly Fist! A punch thundered outwards, causing the void to crumble. A bull's roar echoed and a tyrannical fist manifestation pierced through the void. Inside the fist manifestation were ten thousand bulls stampeding with impunity, destroying everything in their wake.

However, the three Dukes were completely unfazed. When the fist manifestation neared them, the void behind them blazed red and the temperature rose rapidly. It seemed even space itself was melting.

A moment later, a gigantic, red chain shot out from the void. It was like a crimson dragon, directly colliding with the fist manifestation. The chain collapsed together with the fist. The attacks had nullified each other.

At the same time, even more red chains shot out of the crimson world space, attempting to strike Ox Biaobiao.

Ox Biaobiao's gaze turned solemn. The opponent had easily dealt with his attack, indicating that this Seventh-grade Duke was much more frightening than he had expected. Yet he did not falter; he bit his tongue and spewed out a bloody mist that landed on his butchering knife. A moment later, the blade extended and transformed into a fiendish machete.

Terrifying amounts of blood-red energy wafted into the sky, staining the air red and making it seem like they were a sea of blood.

This was the manifestation of the energy coming from the machete.

Ox Biaobiao's gaze turned savage. With a low roar, a tsunami appeared within the sea of blood, and a devil god's illusory figure stood atop it. In its hand was a gigantic blade that seemed capable of severing the entire world in half.

The veins on Ox Biaobiao's arms were bulging as he hefted his machete with both hands before viciously chopping down.

Soul Ascension-grade Duke Art: Mad God's Blade!

The devil god similarly chopped down, and the blade energies of the caster and the summon superimposed. A moment later, the void before them split apart and a ten-thousand-feet-long scar was ripped open.

The figure shrouded by the green smoke stared at that blood-red blade energy. Their gaze turned even colder at this instant.

It was this brutal blow that had left behind that scar all those years ago.

She knew that she could no longer hold back, lest she fall for the same mistake again.

Thus, she finally released her true power, her gaze turning icy. Another Duke Bergfried appeared behind her.

The eighth Bergfried.

A moment later, the resonant power fluctuations coming forth from her increased in intensity, and the entire world seemed to tremble before her.

"An Eighth-grade Duke!" Ox Biaobiao's expression changed when he saw this.

The stalemate between the two domains ended immediately. With the appearance of the eighth Duke Bergfried, the lead figure’s domain gained the upper hand, expanding and crushing Ox Biaobiao's domain.

An eighth-grade Duke's Worldspace Domain was like a tyrannical king that ruled over the world.

At the same time, the crimson blade energy was enveloped by the domain. Pockets opened up within the domain and red chains that flowed with magma shot out, wrapping around the blade energy.

Ear grating sounds could be heard as the countless chains were forcefully torn apart. However, with the aid of the domain, they poured out endlessly and the blade energy was eventually weakened. In the end, it was unable to pierce through the chains and dissipated away.

Ox Biaobiao heaved heavily as blood leaked out of the side of his mouth.

The leader of the four glared coldly at Ox Biaobiao and said with a voice full of killing intent, "If you don't wish to fall here, you should just turn tail and run!"

A mocking smile appeared on Ox Biaobiao's face. "It looks like you aren't here for me. Are your targets Li Luo and the rest? Since you know who he is and still dared to ambush us, you must have a considerable backing. Are you from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing or the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao?"

"It seems like you prefer to leave as a corpse." The attacker did not bother with superfluous words. Her eight Duke Bergfrieds rose into the air and started radiating intense heat, as though they were eight suns in the sky.

Eight streaks of crimson light shot into the air, condensing into a mirror several hundred feet wide. Countless ancient runes were engraved on it.

A moment later, the mirror began to flare brilliantly and a fiery-red lion's head appeared within.

The lion opened its maw, and red light gathered in its mouth. Immediately after that, red smoke that covered the sky was belched out with a force that could incinerate the world.

The smoke was imposing beyond measure, seeming to cover the entire world.

But no matter how scary the opponent's attack was, Ox Biaobiao's expression remained unchanged and full of fierceness. He did not take a single step back. He knew that if he allowed this eighth-grade Duke to take action, Li Luo and the rest would not be able to escape.

Thus, his seven Duke Bergfrieds began to burst with light and formed a barricade that sought to obstruct the attack.

Bang!

The red smoke unfurled.

The seven Duke Bergfrieds were immediately submerged.

When Li Luo turned around to see what was happening, he fell into a daze when he saw what was happening to Ox Biaobiao. He was being burned alive! His flesh and blood were incinerated by the horrifying attack!
