Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1397

Chapter 1394: The Fall of the King

“Are you all right?”

Looking at the Tan Tai Lan in front of him who was more mature than when he was young and full of vigor and vitality, Li Jingzhe felt complicated. In the end, all his thousands of words turned into a greeting.

A smile appeared on Tan Tai Lan’s beautiful face, and she said, “Don’t worry, Dad. We are all fine. Although we have encountered some changes and Tai Xuan and I are temporarily separated, there is no big worry.”

Li Jingzhe nodded slightly and did not ask for the detailed reasons. After all, the Tan Tai Lan in front of him was now the Great Unparalleled Marquis. With this strength, even in his prime, he might not be able to defeat her by much. The young man back then, twenty years later, had already made his own achievements.

“Grandpa, are you okay?” Li Luo asked hurriedly at this time, with some uneasiness in his eyes, because Li Jingzhe seemed to be in very bad condition, with cracks all over his skin, and faintly, horrible chaotic fluctuations came from his body.

Li Jingzhe smiled slightly and said, “Xiao Luo and Qing’e are also extraordinary. Now they have both embarked on the road to becoming unrivaled. I believe that you will be even more outstanding than them in the future.”

Hearing his words, Li Luo’s face changed slightly, and he forced a smile and said, “Grandpa, without your protection, I don’t have the confidence to walk the path of unparalleled.”

Li Jingzhe sighed softly and said, “I’m afraid Grandpa won’t be able to wait until that day.”

This time, in order to kill the human fetus of the Three-Pupil Mysterious Embryo Demon King, he paid the price of burning the third-layer king’s crown. This price was too heavy, even for him, it was hard to bear.

Li Luo’s heart suddenly trembled, and Jiang Qing’e’s eyes suddenly turned red.

“Mom, please help grandpa!” Li Luo grabbed Tan Tai Lan’s arm and said anxiously.

Tan Tai Lan was silent. Her strength was stronger than Li Luo and the others. Naturally, she could sense the rapidly disappearing vitality in Li Jingzhe’s body. Burning three layers of the king’s crown was so terrifying. At this point, even she could not do anything to save it.

On the side, Li Qingpeng and Li Jinpan both had red eyes and looked sad.

Li Luoru was struck by lightning and stood there blankly, but he couldn’t help but have tears streaming down his face. He couldn’t accept the fate of his grandfather, who used to be almost omnipotent in his mind.

With his strength, he clearly had many opportunities to leave the Boundary River Region.

Even that human fetus couldn’t stop him.

But in order to protect them, Li Jingzhe ignored those chances time and time again, until finally he even had to burn three layers of the crown to buy them the last glimmer of hope and escape.

If Li Jingzhe had not fought so hard, it would have been difficult to reverse the situation even if Tan Tai Lan had arrived.

The heavy protection that Li Jingzhe gave made Li Luo unable to suppress the grief gushing out in his heart any longer.

Jiang Qing’e held Li Luo’s hand, and with red eyes she gave him a little comfort.

“Foolish boy, there are already many regrets in this world, why demand perfection?”

Li Jingzhe smiled generously and said, “I was a little worried about you guys at first, but now that Xiaolan is back, I feel completely relieved.”

He took out a token from his sleeve, on which was engraved the ancient writing of Dragon Fang, and a faint sense of oppression emanated.

It is the identity token of the leader of the Dragon Fang Clan.

Li Jingzhe handed the Dragon Tooth Vein Leader token to Tan Tai Lan and said, “Xiao Lan, I know you don’t have much affection for Li Tianwang’s lineage, but after I leave, there will be no one in the Dragon Tooth Vein who can take charge of the overall situation, so please consider my face and temporarily take over the position of Dragon Tooth Vein Leader.”

“If Taixuan comes back in the future and you can’t bear the responsibility anymore, just hand it over to him.”

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Lan hesitated for a moment. She really had no interest in becoming the head of the Dragon Tooth Clan, and she would then have to deal with several other clans.

She really had no good feelings towards the other branches of Li Tianwang’s lineage, especially the dragon bloodline. If they hadn’t been obstructing her, Li Taixuan would not have left in such a sad way.

However, when she saw Li Luo’s grief-stricken look, she could only sigh inwardly, stretch out her hands, and respectfully take the pulse token.

Li Jingzhe has done so much for Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e. Tan Tai Lan has no way to repay this kindness, so she can only try her best to fulfill the old man’s last wish.

“Don’t worry, Dad. With Taixuan and I here, the Dragon Tooth Vein will not fall.” She promised softly.

Li Jingzhe nodded with satisfaction, and took out a red light shield, which was his king-level treasure, the Nine Dragon Fire Sword Shield.

“Leaving this thing to you can help enhance your abilities.” He handed the fire shield to Tan Tai Lan.

Finally, he picked up the bamboo stick that was placed horizontally on his knees. At this time, the bamboo stick was shining brightly, as if it had become a golden bamboo, with a faint extraordinary aura flowing through it.

“I have sealed the origin of this King-Slaying Staff and transformed it into a top-grade king-level material. Xiao Luo has now been promoted to a marquis, and he has no marquis treasure to use. Please help me integrate it into his Dragon Elephant Sword and forge an indestructible treasure for him.”

Li Jingzhe’s eyes lit up with a gentle smile, and he said to Li Luo: “Grandpa can no longer protect you, so let this King-killing Staff accompany you on your journey.”

Looking at Li Jingzhe’s gentle old face, Li Luo wanted to smile at him so that he could feel more at ease, but his eyes became blurry.

“Grandpa, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I’ve put you in this situation.” Li Luo knelt down in front of Li Jingzhe and said in a hoarse voice.

Li Jingzhe shook his head, stretched out his dry, cracked hand, stroked the hair of the boy in front of him, and said softly: “I said that what happened back then will never happen again.”

“This time.”

“Even if I’m the king of heaven, I can’t hurt you in the slightest in front of me.”

“For this, even if I have to give up this crown, what does it matter?”

As he finished speaking, the cracks on the surface of Li Jingzhe’s body began to become more and more obvious, looking like porcelain that was about to break.

“Boss, second brother, from now on, all matters concerning the Dragon Tooth Vein will be decided by Xiaolan. You two need to do your best to share her worries.” He finally looked at Li Qingpeng and Li Jinpan and said.

The two men knelt down with sad faces and kowtowed vigorously.

Li Jiluo and other powerful men from Li Tianwang’s lineage also had gloomy expressions. The death of a virtual triple crown king was an extremely sad thing for Li Tianwang’s lineage.

“Farewell to the leader of Jingzhe.”

They bowed with great respect.

Between heaven and earth, the strong men from other forces all bowed with complicated expressions. Even Qin Baiyan and others showed respect in their eyes.

“Farewell to the leader of Jingzhe.”

Voices filled with admiration and gratitude echoed one after another.

Everyone understood that if Li Jingzhe had not sacrificed his life this time, they would all have died.

Amidst the many cheers, Li Jingzhe’s body burst into brilliant light, and then his body suddenly shattered in full view of everyone.

Boundless energy surged into the sky, directly setting off an endless energy tide in the entire Boundary River Area.

It seemed as if a giant golden dragon was soaring in the sky, letting out a mournful howl.

There was a heavy rain pouring down between heaven and earth, but this rain was not black rain, but a spiritual rain full of tremendous energy.

When a king dies, blessings will naturally return to heaven and earth.

And in the midst of the spiritual rain, Li Luo let out a cry of pain, and his cry was filled with deep sorrow that was unbearable to watch.

Jiang Qing’e, who was standing by, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She did not comfort Li Luo. At this moment, he needed to vent his inner grief.

Tan Tai Lan held the token in her hand, and looked at Li Luo who was crying bitterly in the rain, with a trace of heartache in her eyes.

“Huh?”

But suddenly, her eyes focused, and at this moment, she saw Li Luo, who was immersed in endless grief, suddenly had a purple-gold light flowing out of his body.

Deep within the purple-gold light, there seemed to be a mysterious golden wheel slowly turning.

“This is…”

A look of deep surprise flashed across Tan Tai Lan’s eyes.

Boom!
As the mysterious golden wheel turned, a strange roar seemed to sound between heaven and earth.

The spiritual rain that was whistling in the sky all gathered towards Li Luo at this moment, and was finally absorbed by the mysterious golden wheel in his body.

Tan Tai Lan waved his sleeves, silver light flashed, the space twisted, and the people nearby were all obscured.

At this time, Li Luo, who was extremely sad, also noticed the change. He looked up in a daze, and the mysterious golden wheel in his body reflected a mysterious light, which intertwined in front of him.

Gradually, a golden bamboo shoot about an inch long was formed.

Li Luo’s red eyes suddenly widened, because he faintly felt a familiar fluctuation on this golden bamboo shoot.

That was the aura of Li Jingzhe.

“Grandpa?!”

Li Luo’s eyes were blurry and hazy.

“How did you turn into a bamboo shoot?”
