Shing!
Duze Beixuan loosened the heavy battleaxe from where it was slung on his back. He seemed like a soft and cunning character, but his weapon was savage and straightforward.
His mighty resonant power was already swirling around him, a deep, blue light that formed a vague, whale-like shape behind him.
A giant kun.
The Deepwater Kun resonance was a beast resonance. The legendary beast possessed ferocious strength that came from its bulk. One twist of its body in the ocean was enough to raise tidal waves that reached the skies.
This particular beast resonance could also control water volume. In other words, it was similar to a water resonance, although not as pure in form. For example, a Deepwater Kun resonance could not refine spirit liquids and purifying lights.
Still, it had its advantages, namely an overwhelming physical strength that would enhance one's fighting strength when complemented with resonant power.
"A lower eighth-grade resonance is really quite something."
Li Luo gawked at it. By his reckoning, his sixth-grade waterlight resonance might be able to match an upper seventh-grade resonance, but a lower eighth was something else entirely.
Shing!
Still marveling, he unsheathed his shortswords, and their blue resonant power flared to life. He leaped forward, taking the initiative in the fight.
Weng!
A reinforced Water Edge Art made the air hum as his water resonance power spun at supersonic speeds.
"Shoo!"
Duze Beixuan scoffed at Li Luo's attack. His lumbering battleaxe swung out, unleashing a huge wave of energy accompanied by a deafening boom.
Ding!
Sword and axe clashed in a terrific wave of energy that blew away the leaves around them.
Li Luo leaped back, one hand going to cup his mouth. Pew! Pew! Pew!
A volley of water arrows rained down on Duze Beixuan.
He flung his battleaxe up, summoning a thin curtain of water that nullified the water arrows. At the same time, his hand clawed at Li Luo.
"Swallow!" Duze Beixuan yelled. The resonant power on his clawing hand suddenly exploded, then it reversed. A powerful sucking force yanked Li Luo towards his opponent.
This was the devouring ability of the Deepwater Kun resonance. In the sea, a single gulp from the kun's maw could create giant whirlpools that destroyed all.
Li Luo frowned in concentration as he planted his feet firmly on the ground. A dull, yellow light shone around them, and suddenly he was anchored to the ground.
As the suction force howled around him, he remained unmoving.
He was stealthily using his earth resonance.
Duze Beixuan was shocked that Li Luo was immune to his sucking attack. Water propelling his feet forth, he surfed toward Li Luo.
Cold fury in his eyes, he brought his battleaxe down in a savage blow.
"High-grade resonance art, Flowing Wave!"
In the wake of his swing, waves backed his axe, further amplifying his already brutal strength. This was a nasty blow.
Li Luo lifted a palm, summoning his Waterlight Demon Mirror.
Peng!
The battleaxe broke the mirror, but Duze Beixuan was unprepared to deal with the blowback from his own attack. Still, he was competent enough to quickly counter it with a burst of pure resonant power that nullified it.
The battleaxe again thrust out towards Li Luo's chest.
Li Luo blocked it, his twin shortswords crossing defensively before his chest.
Tang, tang, tang!
Parrying desperately, Li Luo was forced back. Duze Beixuan gave him no breathing room, his battleaxe’s point extending out like a spearhead that lanced at him threateningly.
Cornered like a rat.
The furious exchange continued for dozens of rounds.
Li Luo was constantly being forced back, and Duze Beixuan was constantly pushing forward.
The advantage of Duze Beixuan's lower eighth-grade resonance and Upper Flowering cultivation shone brightly in battle.
"Li Luo, where's that glib tongue of yours now? Stick it out, then! C’mon!" Duze Beixuan taunted him, attacking him with both words and steel.
"Li Luo, I'll have my foot on your face today. See how—
"Oh, fuck!"
