Chapter 1618: Battling Shen Jinxiao Again
As Shen Jinxiao's sinister laugh echoed throughout House Luolan's headquarters, the black banner in his hand began to emit a boundless blood mist with a bloody stench, covering the sky and the sun.
When the blood mist reached them, the world around Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e transformed into a sea of blood. The sea churned beneath their feet, and humongous waves kicked up. A gloomy energy filled the air.
"His banner is a Venerated Heirloom. Transforming the environment into a sea of blood is its ability. If we fight here, he'll be at an advantage," Li Luo said after assessing the situation.
"That's good. I was worried that our battle would destroy the buildings. We don't have to hold back now." Jiang Qing'e tightly gripped the Holy Phoenix Parasol. Her initial thought was to vaporize the entire blood sea, but after hearing Li Luo's words, she decided against it.
Li Luo couldn't help but grin. "This is the first time Shen Jinxiao has done something that we agree with. How does the saying go? When a man is about to die, their actions and words are gold?"
Even though this wasn't the right situation, Jiang Qing'e was a little amused at his words, and her red lips curled up slightly.
Shen Jinxiao could hear everything they were saying. His eyes overflowed with murderous intent as he said, "No matter how sharp your tongue is, you won't be able to escape death today. Jiang Qing'e, you managed to escape from the palm of my hand all those years ago. This time, I'll be sure to dig out your Heart of Light and savor it!"
Feeling annoyed by the duo’s banter, he yelled, "My friends, let's work together and kill them!"
He then took a step forward and waved the black devil banner, causing the blood sea to surge. A gigantic palm of blood rose up from the depths and swung explosively towards Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. The hand was covered in twisted runic patterns that gave off the fluctuations of source origin energy. The blood energy alone was like a poison, capable of causing any ninth-grade Duke to be disintegrated upon contact.
Since Shen Jinxiao was on the level of a False King, he was capable of wielding the King's Blood and Bone Devil Banner, allowing his strength to reach terrifying heights.
Seeing Shen Jinxiao take action, the giant golden-armored man's eyes blazed with fury, and he let out an unintelligible, guttural roar. He kicked out with one leg and ripped open a humongous spatial rift on the surface of the blood sea. Then, blood runes appeared on his golden armor. With a bang, he shot forward in a golden beam of light speckled with red, moving so quickly that sonic booms were heard. He was flying directly at Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e!
