Chapter 1437 Phantom Zither Devil
“Oh?”
Qin Mo was still lazy. He gently moved his body and said indifferently, “The Illusory Sound Formation I set up can be broken by Guang Qingzi, Daolord Xuanyang, and the Heavenly End Star. It doesn’t matter. When they break through the formation, their Essence will be almost exhausted. At that time, there is no need for me to make a move.”
“No, it’s not …”
The two of them trembled. The man on the right raised his head and said, “Yes, it’s a kid who knows how to play the zither. Not only did he break through Lord Zither Demon’s formation, he was also able to use the zither sound to guide the profound strength of those people …”
“What are you talking about?”
Hearing this, Qin Mo sat up from the couch and his gaze suddenly became much sharper. “A brat can break through this palace’s phantom sound formation?”
The two of them trembled as they hurriedly bowed and said, “I will not dare to deceive Lord Qin Mo … That brat’s zither music is indeed formidable. Our cultivation is too low. Just listening from afar makes us dizzy and unable to get close to him …”
“Humph! Then I want to see what kind of brat he is and how powerful he is!”
Qin Mo’s eyes were cold and fierce. He flicked his sleeves and rolled up Yao Qin, who was standing in front of the couch. With a flash of his body, he flew out of the palace. At the same time, the “Huan Yin Twelve Ji”, who was stationed outside the palace, also followed her.
…
In the center of the Heavenly Mark, the five rays of light became weaker and weaker, and the restriction was about to be broken. Xiao Chen’s zither music was dense, one layer at a time. It was as high as a green crane clouds, and the other was as low as ten thousand beasts. Just as it was about to break through the formation, a few sharp and ear-piercing zither sounds suddenly rang out, almost disrupting his zither rhythm.
“Little friend, be careful!”
Guang Qingzi stood at the side and saw Xiao Chen’s body shake. He couldn’t help but be shocked. If something went wrong, it would be bad.
“No problem.”
Soon, Xiao Chen settled down and wasn’t disturbed by those murderous zither sounds. At this moment, opposite the restriction, the zither devil had already appeared with the jade zither in his arms. Behind her, there were also the Twelve Concubines of Illusory Voices.
“It’s Phantom Zither Devil … Be careful!”
The cultivators of the Heaven Realm clearly recognized Phantom Zither Devil. Perhaps her cultivation was not enough to intimidate everyone, but that soul-stirring zither music was truly a headache. Even Guang Qingzi, Patriarch Tian Can, Daolord Xuan Yang, and the other Nine Realms experts present didn’t dare to underestimate her.
“Hmph! Who am I? So I’m a stinking brat!”
When he saw that the zither player was indeed a young man, the killing intent in Phantom Zither Devil’s eyes instantly became even heavier. Even the zither in his hand was unknowingly filled with a red mist, giving rise to a visible killing intent.
“Originally, Qin didn’t have any killing intent, but the strings contained killing intent. With such a heavy killing intent, how could it be different from a sword?”
Xiao Chen continued to play the zither while speaking indifferently. Everyone nearby was stunned. Perhaps he was the first person to speak to Phantom Zither Devil in such a manner.
“Haha!”
As expected, Phantom Zither Devil raised his head and smiled, his gaze becoming even sharper. “Kid who doesn’t know the heavens and earth, today I’ll let you know why Qin Demon is Qin Demon!”
Seeing that she was going to play the Soul Absorbing Devil Qin, Guang Qingzi’s expression changed. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, “Fairy Illusory Sound, wait a moment!”
“Oh? Guang Qingzi, do you have anything else to say?” Qin Mo stopped, but she wasn’t in a hurry. There was no harm in listening to this old Taoist.
Guang Qingzi said, “That person has already lost his way. He forced us to massacre the innocent and use our souls to help him cultivate. Although the Illusory Sound Palace has not been implicated yet, it is only a matter of time. Why should the Palace Master help the evil and obstruct us here today?”
“Is that all you have to say?”
Qin Mo’s cold eyes seemed to contain no emotions, even at this moment, there were corpses everywhere in front of her.
At this moment, many people looked at her with trembling uneasiness. Guang Qingzi continued, “If the Palace Master makes a contract with that person in order to ask for something, it would be akin to a tiger trying to skin itself. When this person comes out, the Illusory Sound Palace will inevitably become a pool of blood.”
“Are you done?”
Unexpectedly, Phantom Zither Devil’s attitude was still cold and indifferent. Seeing her so cold and indifferent, Guang Qingzi couldn’t help but stagnate. At this moment, he was speechless.
“Finished speaking, then step aside!”
Phantom Zither Devil’s eyes turned cold and his gaze returned to Xiao Chen. At the same time, he plucked the strings in his hand and a sharp zither sound rang out as he immediately attacked.
“Senior … retreat.”
Xiao Chen pointed his finger and used the zither sounds to resist, but he couldn’t disrupt the zither rhyme. At this moment, the restriction hadn’t been completely broken. Once the zither rhyme was disrupted, the restriction would immediately rebound.
“Hmph, kid, you have some ability.”
Phantom Zither Devil’s gaze was cold. Seeing that he had blocked his zither music, the zither music became even more ferocious. It was like a monstrous wave that surged through the sky.
This burst of zither music was so fierce and unpredictable that even Guang Qingzi, Daolord Profound Sun, and other experts of the Nine Realms were shaken back. They hurriedly circulated the Genuine energy to protect their heartmeridians.
At this moment, many of the cultivators behind them were unable to resist this demonic sound and covered their ears with painful expressions.
“Seal off your hearing!”
Someone shouted out loudly, and everyone reacted. They quickly condensed their True Qi and sealed their ears.
However, the zither demon’s zither music was extraordinary. Even if they claimed to be hearing it, the zither music still struck straight into their hearts. They had no choice but to retreat backwards.
On that day, Xiao Chen fought against Phantom Zither Devil alone, and the zither music was undisturbed. This was far beyond everyone’s expectations. They never expected that someone would be able to resist Phantom Zither Devil’s zither music!
After half an incense stick, the two sides were still fighting fiercely. Phantom Zither Devil’s eyes narrowed as he thought to himself, “Who did this kid learn the zither from?”
Right at this moment, the twelve Concubines of Illusory Sound behind her also took out magic treasures, all of them zither and pipa. The twelve of them stood apart, each holding a magic treasure, forming an Illusory Sound Formation in an instant. A deafening sound immediately rushed towards Xiao Chen, intending to disturb his heart.
The Twelve Concubines of Illusory Voices were also extremely powerful. Seeing them disturb Xiao Chen’s mind with the Illusory Voice Array, everyone present secretly pinched cold sweat. In the distance, Xiao Meng’er also held her breath and watched with rapt attention.
The Huan Yin Twelve Concubines’ Huan Yin Formation was extremely good. Ordinary people would be crazy if they heard it for a moment. However, Xiao Chen did not seem to have heard it at this moment. The zither rhyme on the string was still not chaotic.
“Hmph, let’s see how long you can last.”
Phantom Zither Devil’s eyes were ice-cold. He held the Soul-absorbing Devil Zither in his hand. The zither’s music was also violent. Slowly, sweat started to form between Xiao Chen’s eyebrows. It was obvious that he was trying his best to resist the devil’s voice.
“Little friend …”
Guang Qingzi and the others thought that this was not good. They underestimated Phantom Zither Devil’s ability. If Xiao Chen lost today, they would probably find it difficult to break through the restriction here. Even if they could break through it forcefully, at that time, everyone had exhausted their Essence, so how could they resist Lord of Heaven?
“Chen’er, what’s the difference between your master’s flute and your zither?” At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to hear the words of his Master when he taught him the Dao of Music.
“Mm … Master’s flute sounds are like clear springs flowing through the mountains, like a breeze passing through the valley, like, like, when I was young, outside the courtyard, the sky was filled with fireflies …”
“Chen’er, you must remember that if the flute or zither is empty and has no rhyme, it will be like a withered leaf under a tree, and it will shatter at the touch of an eye.”
“Master …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes were tightly closed, and the cold sweat on his face was condensing more and more. Guang Qingzi and the others had their hearts hanging outside. When Phantom Zither Devil saw that he had finally stopped supporting himself, he sneered and flicked his fingers, causing the sound of a blood-colored zither to fly over.
“Little friend … be careful!”
At this moment, even time seemed to have slowed down. Seeing that the sound of the blood-colored zither was bound to severely injure Xiao Chen, everyone nearby revealed expressions of fear.
At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to be wandering through the void. This blood-colored heavenly mark was no longer in front of him. Instead, it was the Purple Night Peak of the past. A gentle breeze blew past, and leaves fell back and forth.
“Zheng.”
A soft zither sound shattered a withered leaf in front of him, but in reality, it was Phantom Zither Devil’s blood-colored zither sound that shattered and dissipated like a withered leaf.
“Huh?”
Phantom Zither Devil’s expression froze, and another zither tune came out. This time, Xiao Chen also lightly flicked it, and it was as if it had shattered a withered leaf, breaking her zither tune.
After so many times, even everyone couldn’t help but be shocked. Just how far has his zither music attainments reached …
Seeing that the restriction here was about to be broken, Phantom Zither Devil’s gaze turned cold. “Brat, it seems that I underestimated you … You played the zither well. Unfortunately, the person you met was me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves and sat down in the air like Xiao Chen, placing the Soul Absorbing Devil Qin in her hand on her knees.
At this moment, her eyes turned blood red, and her ten blood red fingernails suddenly grew much longer. A thick layer of blood enveloped her body and the surroundings of the zither!
“This is …”
Even Daolord Xuanyang and the rest of the Nine Realms experts felt suffocated. Guang Qingzi understood the rhythm of the music, and at this moment, his expression suddenly changed. “Damn it … it’s the Heavenly Demon Zither!”
