Chapter 618 - 340: Sound Skill (Part 2)

Chapter 618: Chapter 340: Sound Skill (Part 2)

By the time the man reacted, the distance to his neck was less than three inches.

With just a thought, it could pierce through.

But suddenly, a flash of blood appeared, leaving a pool of blood in place, and the Celestial Sound Shuttle pierced through the blood, striking another black-clothed man’s shoulder.

The black-clothed man frowned tightly, casually pulling out the Celestial Sound Shuttle, yet there was not a drop of blood at the wound.

"What is going on?"

The group of Martial World wanderers behind Han Yiren was dumbfounded.

The Celestial Sound Shuttle, a symbol of the Celestial Sound Mansion.

Earlier it attacked them, now it’s attacking the people on the opposite side?

Is this an internal conflict?

Just when everyone was feeling bewildered, shadows appeared again, and without a word, they directly attacked the group from before.

Following closely, someone flew over and landed in front of Han Yiren.

"Greetings, Valley Master Han."

The person clasped fists in salute.

Han Yiren knew this was arranged by Chu Qing, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, also clasped fists and said:

"May I know who you are?"

"Five Tones and Seven Rhymes, Yi Zhishang."

"Five Tones and Seven Rhymes from Celestial Sound Mansion?"

Han Yiren hadn’t spoken yet, when someone behind interrupted:

"What exactly is happening?"

The Celestial Evil Cult pretended to be our Celestial Sound Mansion, this is not the first time.

However, this time we were in the dark while they were in the light, we foresaw their actions in advance, so we could catch them red-handed.

Everyone, please hold calm, once we have slain these Celestial Evil Cult scoundrels, we shall speak with you.

As Yi Zhishang finished speaking, a flute appeared in his hand.

All around were the sounds of Celestial Sound Mansion and Celestial Evil Cult fighting, while Yi Zhishang lowered his head and played, the flute’s sound was heartrending and beautiful, causing people to unconsciously feel a touch of sadness.

A disciple of Celestial Evil Cult was fighting a disciple of Celestial Sound Mansion, preparing to use the Blood Transformation Divine Palm to turn the opponent, who was already losing ground, into a dry corpse with one strike.

But just as he was about to strike, the sound of the flute entered his ears, making him feel that once this palm was out, he would inevitably be heartbroken, as if the person standing opposite wasn’t a stranger, but someone he had been in love with for many years, already etched into his bones.

This palm simply couldn’t be executed.

Unfortunately, the heartless person opposite was ruthless; he couldn’t bear to strike, but the other swept across with a short blade, directly severing his arm.

The severe pain soothed the sorrow in his heart, making him realize he had fallen victim.

Looking around, he found he wasn’t the only one affected.

Han Yiren squinted slightly:

"This is the Heart-Breaking Lament!"

Although this melody cannot truly break hearts, it can manipulate emotions, intertwining feelings with the music, trapping opponents within.

By the time they come to their senses, they are truly heartbroken.

After all, when disciples of Celestial Sound Mansion strike, they are ruthless, often killing and maiming, cutting off arms and legs.

When arms and legs are severed, how can one not be heartbroken?

And with this melody on the side, the Celestial Sound Mansion disciples become extremely brave, almost pressing the Celestial Evil Cult people hard.

This greatly surprised Chu Qing, who thought that although Celestial Sound Mansion was formidable, facing the Celestial Evil Cult, it would be difficult to gain the upper hand, considering he previously saw experts who had cultivated the Blood Demon Scripture hidden among them. These people, not to mention anything else, their speed alone was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Yet he didn’t expect that under the Heart-Breaking Lament, they were unwilling to ’leave,’ ultimately having their legs chopped off.

Is this the might of the Celestial Sound Mansion?

Only now does Chu Qing finally truly witness the abilities possessed by one of the Three Mansions located at the pinnacle of Lingbei.

It’s no wonder Liu Zhaonian dared to let Yi Zhishang lead these people over to ambush... with such skill present, he fears that there will be no room for him to showcase his abilities today.

He glanced at Ouyang Tianxu and heard Ouyang Tianxu lightly exhale:

"No matter how many times I hear the Heart-Breaking Lament, my heart always feels blocked."

Chu Qing smiled and was about to say something, when suddenly another melody arose.

Unlike the heartrending tones of the Heart-Breaking Lament, this new music was also melancholy but overall was a gloomy cloud.

As if the world was dark, and people within it could not see a slightest bit of hope.

Only waves of despair rolled in continuously like endless tides.

As this sound emerged, Yi Zhishang’s brow furrowed immediately.

His eyes swept, and he already saw a man sitting on a stone at the edge.

Seemingly about thirty years old, not dressed too shabbily, but his expression was extremely dejected, something Yi Zhishang had rarely seen.

This person sat there, hands wrapped around a leaf, focused as he played, seemingly narrating his world.

Yet within this sound was mixed with Inner Strength and the melody was fully suppressing his Heart-Breaking Lament.

And originally, the Celestial Sound Mansion disciples, who were in high spirits, were overshadowed under this despair-laden melody, showing signs of hopelessness.

Even some were even tempted to use their knives to their necks.

However, he also realized that now he was being manipulated by the opponent’s Sound Skill, his heart constantly resisting suicide, yet the song incessantly urged him to die, putting him in a tug-of-war between life and death.

And not only them, but even those wanderers who originally were eager to assist Celestial Sound Mansion in killing the Celestial Evil Cult demons, were dragged into this song.

Some broke down crying, others howling in despair.

The whole world was shrouded in a gloomy cloud.

Yi Zhishang’s face grew increasingly grim, his body roused his Inner Breath, while sweat gradually formed on his forehead.

Trying to gather Inner Power and fight the opponent, yet feeling the opponent’s Inner Power was vast like the sea, and the opponent’s melody continued to exert influence.

Uncontrollably giving rise to a little bit of despair in his heart.

Although he removed it immediately, but it was not a good omen... unable to suppress the opponent, losing is only a matter of time.

And once he loses, everyone in Qingquan Gorge will surely perish!

Chu Qing was originally thinking just to spectate, but with this sudden change, knew that there’s still room to intervene today...

Even Ouyang Tianxu is eager to join.

Just as the two were ready to flex their muscles and confront this Hengsheng disturbance.

A sudden sound of a zither appeared, coming closer from afar.

Chu Qing turned his head to look, and saw a young man approaching, looking about twenty years old, dressed in white, with handsome features, holding a zither with one hand while constantly playing with the other, his manner extremely graceful.

And his zither sound was very unique.

Not like the extreme emotions shown by Yi Zhishang and the leaf player, as if speaking softly, in an orderly manner, gradually consolidating the two chaotic sounds completely.

As the zither sound and the figure approached, the young man finally plucked the last string, buzzed, and the valley’s force instantly shattered in all directions.

Boom boom boom, boom boom boom!

The continuous sound of explosions drew earth and mountains to shake.

As if the entire Qingquan Gorge would be shattered and collapsed under the sound skill competition of these three.

The man sitting on the stone slowly raised his head, his eyes still carrying a bit of despair.

Yi Zhishang instinctively took a step back, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and ears.

The young man finally landed in front of Yi Zhishang:

"Are you okay?"

"Young master!"

Yi Zhishang was momentarily stunned upon seeing the young man in front, and then wanted to kneel in salute.

Chu Qing heard it and was stunned, is this the Liu family’s young master?

It’s Liu Qingyan’s brother... Liu Jinghan!?

Now Yi Zhishang was a little puzzled:

"Young master, why are you here?"

"Finished my task, was just returning to the mansion to report, happened to pass by here, right?"

Liu Jinghan glanced back at the man sitting on the stone and chuckled:

"Unexpectedly, during the sound skill competition, you actually fell behind... Who are those people opposing?"

"Celestial Evil Cult..."

Yi Zhishang replied softly.

A glint of chill flashed in Liu Jinghan’s eyes:

"Celestial Evil Cult?

"Very well, very well!

"These demonic heretics dare appear in the realm of my Celestial Sound Mansion, it is high time for Liu to witness the means of Celestial Evil Cult!!"

...
