Chapter 1085

When the zithers were plucked gently, they released a sound that was like the beating of war drums . As they continued playing, their soundwaves spread, and those slightly uneasy and nervous disciples gradually calmed down . The zither music had the effect of calming their hearts .

Looking at those two, for some unknown reason, Long Chen thought of another woman . She was of unmatched grace and elegance . When her hand touched her zither, the music would touch the depths of people’s souls .

Zi Yan, a name which had been almost forgotten by Long Chen . Hearing this zither music, she once more appeared in his mind .

Long Chen lost focus . The zither music had gone through some soft variations and was growing louder, with greater tempo . The music now contained a battle intent that made people’s blood boil .

The Heaven Female Alliance and Ten Thousand Insect Guild’s disciples quickly entered their peak battle states . Long Chen nodded . The Music Dao was also powerful . Used on the battlefield, it was the best at controlling the rhythm .

Depending on the strength of the player, their zither music would be able to directly give people directions . That was even more effective than shouting orders .

“Boss, our faction is truly lacking a powerful music master,” said Guo Ran enviously .

“Perhaps we’ll have one as well . Have you forgotten about the Soul Calming Song? That beautiful woman is a fairy-like existence . ” Tang Wan-er looked at Long Chen, laughing .

It was unknown whether or not it was because of accompanying Long Chen for so long and having him shop for her had won her over, but she actually said such a thing . It almost sounded like encouragement .

“Ah, that’s right!” Guo Ran slapped his leg . That Soul Calming Song had been one of the foundational aspects that had allowed the Dragonblood Legion to soar . Even Shui Wuhen had benefited from it .

Although Zi Yan was veiled in the photographic jade, just from the parts of her face that were exposed, they could tell she was a beauty that could cause the downfall of a state .

Furthermore, when she played the zither, she possessed a moving immortal charm . She was like a fairy who didn’t eat mortal food . Even though the effect of the music was greatly reduced because it was recorded by a photographic jade, they had benefited immensely .

“That’s right, my a.s.s . I don’t even know her, so how am I supposed to pull her in?” demanded Long Chen .

Long Chen cursed him inside . Did he think he was a G.o.d, capable of pulling in anyone? If he was, he’d have long since swept through this world .

Guo Ran was disappointed . Continuing to watch the battle below, they saw that under the guidance of the zither players, their tempo and control only grew better and more natural .

They all understood that the zither players were the crux of this entire formation . Hua s.h.i.+yu and w.a.n.g Zhen both sent down many orders through the zither music, including when to change formations or switch from offense to defense .

Although more and more devil beasts appeared, the two factions still had it very easy . The hordes of devil beasts were slaughtered, making the Dragonblood Legion’s warriors’ hands itchy .

“Boss, let’s also go out,” whispered Guo Ran eagerly .

“You want to be a poser again?” Long Chen rolled his eyes .

“Yes . ” Guo Ran nodded sincerely .

“Your skin is growing even thicker . You don’t even get embarra.s.sed anymore? They’re using this opportunity to drill their troops, so would you not feel ashamed to interfere?” Long Chen was speechless .

“Fine, then I’ll endure a bit longer . ”

Guo Ran was a bit embarra.s.sed . But looking at the fiery battle below, he had an urge to descend from the sky and shock everyone, the perfect act of an unrivaled hero arriving on the scene .

“Advance the formations a hundred miles!” shouted Long Chen suddenly . He saw that the distant devil beasts were getting stronger and more numerous . There were more eighth rank devil beasts, and a few isolated ninth rank devil beasts were appearing .

It had only been less than an hour, but ninth rank devil beasts had already appeared . That was not a good omen . Perhaps the numbers of the devil beast army would be even greater than Long Chen had expected .

If they killed too many devil beasts near the wall, their corpses would begin piling up . That would cause problems when the time came .

The two factions slowly pushed forward . As the devil beasts grew stronger, the factions displayed greater power .

w.a.n.g Zhen had summoned a huge pincer insect that was completely black but s.h.i.+ny like it was made of metal . It had a long curved tail, seeming to be a variation of a scorpion .

This ‘scorpion’ was huge, looking around like it was approximately a mile long . Its aura was extremely terrifying, and its venomous stinger was so toxic that even ninth rank devil beasts would be killed on contact .

This was what w.a.n.g Zhen was using to handle the ninth rank devil beasts . On the other side, Hua s.h.i.+yu and Zhao Ziyan were standing at the front of their army, meeting any ninth rank devil beasts that came .

After that huge battle last time, they had all obtained an ocean’s worth of points . The disciples had all advanced a great deal in terms of both cultivation base and equipment .

Zhao Ziyan was holding a sword, and when she attacked, Sword Qi would flow out like water . She was actually capable of compressing her water energy to a level that it easily cut through the void, and even ninth rank devil beasts were unable to bear it .
