Vol 5 Chapter 30.2 (2/2)
It could be said that Ye Yin Zhu’s cultivation was a harmony between magic and martial arts. The best embodiment of harmonious magic and martial arts was his sound blades. His Bamboo Dou Qi had reached Yellow Rank Level 5 at last, causing his sound blade’s strength to suddenly skyrocket.
Wherever the yellow sound blades went, trees that were in their way would be turned into splinters, and anyone blocking them would lose their life. The atmosphere was accompanied by ear-piercing zither notes that tore the air asunder, leaving traces of rippling sound waves.
The most magical aspect of the sound blades was its lack of dependence on the direction of the zither plucking; the sound blades depended on Ye Yin Zhu’s control of his spiritual force for direction. He had studied the Spiritual Magic journal Ferguson had given him these past few days, not wasting a moment of his time. His understanding of Spiritual Magic had reached new heights. This was especially true for his control over his zither notes by means of his Spiritual Magic. His newfound control not only improved his current music skills, but also improved his control over his sound blades.
A single sound blade would only leave a line of blood on the Apemen’s bodies, unable to kill them. Yet, if three sound blades bombarded the same spot, then the Apemen’s defenses would be unable to resist. After all, this was equivalent to a tyrannical attack of Cyan Rank dou qi and Green Rank magic! The majority of Apemen had no opportunity to dodge as lines of blood appeared on their bodies. Their lives had already been taken away.
The scene occurring before Sura, Xiang Luan, and Hai Yang’s eyes was absolutely terrifying. They could clearly see a dense mist of blood spray out in the wake of the sound blades slicing through the Apemen. The most frightening thing was when some of the Apemen’s lower extremities still walked forward while their upper bodies were left behind. The injuries on their bodies were as smooth and precise as a chisel and as powerful and oppressive as an axe!
A Divine Music mage’s terrifying killing power appeared for the first time on the battlefield, with Sura and the two others fortunately the first to witness it. Because of the ma.s.sacre previously, Hai Yang and Xiang Luan had adapted somewhat, but they were just like Sura at this moment, their complexion deathly pale and frightened. How could they have antic.i.p.ated that the gentle, innocent Ye Yin Zhu would become so unexpectedly terrifying when he attacked others?
The metallic clanging of a powerful army faded away, and with it were the lives of countless Apemen. Using the party of four as the center, the surroundings around them reeked richly of blood. There were intact Apemen corpses with their entire skeletons shattered to pieces by Ye Yin Zhu. Then there were those mowed down by the sound blades released by the Moon and Tides’ Clear Brilliance. Those mowed down truly had extremely bad luck. Each of their bodies were at least split in half, and some were even chopped into seven or eight lumps of meat by the sound blades. The ice-cold earth was dyed red with the hot blood of Apemen, the entire group having transformed into a field of corpses.
Sura had always believed his killing speed was exceptionally quick, yet only a tenth of the carca.s.ses before his eyes were done by his hand.
Ye Yin Zhu sat there, motionless, an ice-cold expression still gracing his face as the layer of violet light gradually disappeared.
Sura calmed himself down with difficulty. Biting his lower lip, he said, “Yin Zhu, we should leave quickly.”
“Wa~~” The previously ruthless Ye Yin Zhu suddenly bent his waist, vomiting as he clutched the Moon and Tides’ Clear Brilliance to his chest. His sudden change caught Sura and the two girls off guard. After a brief moment of astonishment, Xiang Luan and Hai Yang couldn’t help but smile. Xiang Luan unhappily cried, “You scared me to death just now! So it turns out this guy isn’t that callous after all! He is still the shota of our Divine Music division.”
Sura also couldn’t help exposing a trace of a smile. The iciness and terror of their surroundings seemed to have dispersed quite a bit.
Ye Yin Zhu completely vomited the remnants of his breakfast. Gasping for air, he looked all around him, his face flus.h.i.+ng red before draining of color. “This, this was really all my doing?” He spoke in a daze.
Just a moment ago, when he had begun killing in full swing, a warmth had surged forth from within his body, seeming to release a power that acclimatized his body to violence. Accepting the circ.u.mstances then, he had begun his ma.s.sacre. While he was attacking, he only felt that his whole body was being stimulated. Only one word remained in his mind: destroy. Upon recalling this, he unexpectedly felt as if he had been unable to control his body at that time. It seemed that the contract he had signed with Zi didn’t only give him an increase in strength and power; it also gave him a few other things.
