Xiang Shaoyun noticed that he was currently the focus of the three beauties, but he still had a calm smile on his face as he said, ”Thank you for the favor you show me, big sister. However, the dao of zither is not my dao.”

”Oh, but all dao lead to the same destination. With your outstanding talent in the dao of zither, relying on this dao will make it easier for you to gain martial prowess as well. Moreover, the zither is graceful and refined. Won't you look much more carefree practicing the dao of zither rather than the likes of sabers and spears?” Hua Cheng said after a slight astonishment.

She couldn't even imagine that a Transformation Realm young man would actually reject her offer. Even a King would wish to be her disciple. She even wondered if this kid was actually a nutcase or if he truly was someone who did not think much of Emperor Realm cultivators.

A solemn look covered Xiang Shaoyun's face as he declared, ”The dao I pursue is the dao of saber.”

”You are a saber user as well?” Hua Cheng asked curiously.

Her relations.h.i.+p with the Saber Emperor was common knowledge. He was a supreme expert in the saber. And when she heard that Xiang Shaoyun practiced the saber as well, her interest was piqued.

”If big sister is willing to play me a song, I won't mind demonstrating how my dao of saber is even better than my dao of zither,” said Xiang Shaoyun, full of confidence.

Xiang Shaoyun was a person who had met numerous experts since young. Thus, his calmness before experts such as this Zither Empress was something not many people could compare with. That was how he had been able to speak so calmly with Hua Cheng.

Hua Cheng did not say anything. She merely gripped at the empty air. Immediately, the zither not far away flew toward her. She required no warm-ups before playing the zither. She propped it up with one hand while her other hand rested gently on the zither, as if she was stroking the face of her lover.

A battle song started resounding in the courtyard. The melody sounded like it was played by G.o.ds and demons. The moment it started playing, the courtyard seemed to have turned into a battlefield. Countless armored soldiers charged each other, and severed limbs and blood filled the battlefield. It was an extremely shocking scene.

Xiang Shaoyun felt like he himself had appeared on the battlefield with countless armored soldiers rus.h.i.+ng toward him. Initially, he was still aware that he was currently in an illusion. But soon, he was completely drawn in.

He could clearly feel the pain from the wounds inflicted on him. He could also clearly sense the fierce murderous intent of the soldiers. If he did not strike back, he would die.

Kill!

He erupted with his own murderous intent while his Overlord Skyslaying Saber appeared in his hand. He then started wildly attacking with his Berserk Lightning Blade. The soldiers weren't particularly strong and were quickly killed off. But there were just too many of them. Wave after wave arrived, as if there was an unending amount.

Xiang Shaoyun was forced to unleash his full power. He utilized his human saber unity and attacked with saber intent, unleas.h.i.+ng a breathtaking slash that instantly severed numerous heads from their bodies. He was unstoppable!

”Come! Let this young master send you to the afterlife!” shouted Xiang Shaoyun, whose eyes had turned bloodshot from all the killing.

Not only was he using his saber technique, he was also using Yun Flame's power. The torrential 1,000 years old flame poured out and burned everything, turning the battlefield into a sea of flame.

Just as Xiang Shaoyun was happily slaying his opponents, the melody suddenly stopped. The soldiers and the battlefield vanished like they had never appeared in the first place.

Xiang Shaoyun froze.
