Chapter 21 – Eastern Dragon Sect of Painting (I)
———————————————————————————-
Zi closed his eyes, his resolute face displaying a relaxed expression. He didn’t bother watching. At this very moment, his two hands clasped over his heart. A layer of light violet crystal was already beginning to form. Ye Yin Zhu’s body released a light yellow magic, which quietly invaded his body.
In the Equal Life Contract, if one’s strengths fundamentally changed and evolved, the other would also benefit immensely.
“Ah——!” A bloodcurdling screech suddenly rang from the sky, marring the beautiful artistry of < flock=”” of=”” geese=”” on=”” the=”” sh.o.r.e=””>>.
Nesta had also become completely immersed in < flock=”” of=”” geese=”” on=”” the=”” sh.o.r.e=””>>, but that sudden intense and heavy sound had woken him up. To his immense horror, he discovered that he and his Red Dragon were no longer flying, instead falling at a steep dive towards the ground.
< flock=”” of=”” geese=”” on=”” the=”” sh.o.r.e=””>> was one of the famous nine great songs of the Zither Sect. Its effect: Forbidden Sky.
Unless one were three levels higher than the musician, all creatures with flight capability would inevitably drop from the sky upon hearing this song. With Ye Yin Zhu’s current magic rank, Primary Level Cyan Rank, flying creatures of lower abilities fell under the influence of this song. As one of the famed nine great songs of the Zither Sect, < flock=”” of=”” geese=”” on=”” the=”” sh.o.r.e=””>> required his heart and soul to be in harmony in order to perform it. With Zi by his side, Ye Yin Zhu could now bring out the full might of the song and stay unaffected by its power.
“Zi—save them.” < flock=”” of=”” geese=”” on=”” the=”” sh.o.r.e=””>> hadn’t stopped playing, yet Ye Yin Zhu had suddenly raised his head to look up at the falling Nesta in the sky.
Absorbed in the zither song, Zi’s brows furrowed slightly, but he still dashed forward. His right leg abruptly pushed off against the ground, leaving an impression about a meter deep. His body, with the help of the tremendous force he exerted from the ground, flew directly upward, arriving beneath the falling Red Dragon in the blink of an eye. His two hands formed a circular support arrangement just as the Red Dragon fell onto it. Zi let loose a low roar as he propped up the dragon and started pus.h.i.+ng it in the opposite direction. A powerful force dispersed its gravitational acceleration. He then flung Nesta and his Red Dragon Degas away.
The Red Dragon’s gigantic body rolled as it hit the ground, stopping 10 meters away from Ye Yin Zhu. At this moment, Nesta’s heavy armor had already cracked open. If his right hand hadn’t held firmly onto his Red Dragon Degas’s back scales, then he would have already been thrown away.
Ye Yin Zhu’s eight fingers quietly concluded < flock=”” of=”” geese=”” on=”” the=”” sh.o.r.e=””>>, with its three upward, three downward strum rhythm. His gaze was full of adoration as he looked at Zi, who had returned to his side. His handsome, graceful face held a trace of a heartfelt smile.
Zi nodded to Yin Zhu. “There are a lot of people here; I’ll leave first. I’ll find you later.”
Milky white and violet rays of light shone from their bodies, and Zi once again became an illusionary figure. He merged with Ye Yin Zhu’s body, disappearing.
The Blood Soul Spear stabbed into the ground as Nesta gasped heavily for air. “Ye Yin Zhu, you win.” After he said that, his gaze become abnormally cold. “But I don’t understand why you deceived me; was it in order to catch me off guard?”
“Deceive you? I didn’t!” Ye Yin Zhu looked at him, surprised.
Nesta snorted coldly. “I told you to summon your magical beast earlier and you replied that you didn’t have one. Who was that just now? Only a rank 9 magical beast or Netherworld Spirit magical beast can take human form.”
Ye Yin Zhu shook his head and said, “I really didn’t deceive you. Zi isn’t my magical beast; he is my friend, my partner.”
“Degas is also my partner. Do your words hold any meaning?” Nesta snarled. Originally, Ye Yin Zhu’s formidable strength had already gained his respect, but at this very moment, his opponent’s deception had caused him to change his att.i.tude and view of Ye Yin Zhu.
