Chapter 379.1 (2/2)
In order to fend it off, one must never use techniques of the five elements. The only choice was to use means that did not consist of the five elements.
Ning Fan who was dressed in white robes looked like a silver moon. His cold eyes were deep and bright like stars.
He did not know many techniques that did not make use of the five elements. However, he knew there was one technique which could allow him to fend off this devilish sound of the five elements.
To break the five elements, I shall conjure five graves!
“Wind as the Wood Dragon, land as the Earth Dragon, lightning as the Golden Dragon, fire as the Fire Dragon, ice as the Water Dragon…
“Upon the death of these five dragons, the black dragon rises! When the five elements die, the five graves emerge!”
Ning Fan’s fingers moved rapidly, creating a series of abstruse and mysterious hand seals. At the same time, he activated his Fu Li Demon Blood to help in casting this technique.
Every time he muttered the chant, a one thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tomb would appear above his head. The shadows of dragons soared around it.
The five tombs represented the five elements respectively. This technique held the secret of life and death. Upon the appearance of the five tombstones, Ximen Ye was suddenly stunned. The first string on his seven-stringed guzheng broke!
At the same time, the devilish sound of the five elements faded!
“The Five Graves of the Dragon Burial Technique! This is the lost demon ancestral blood technique of the Black Dragon Race! How are you able to use it?!”
Looking at the five large tombstones which were falling above his head, Ximen Ye’s eyes widened. He immediately plucked the second string of his guzheng.
“The second sound of the Seven Sounds, the Sound of the Four Beasts!”
The Sound of the Four Beasts specialized in restraining cultivators who possessed the blood of the Azure Dragon Race, White Tiger Race, Vermilion Bird Race and Black Tortoise Race!
*Zheng*
Traces of sound waves which seethed with murderous intent turned into runes that took the shape of a dragon and crashed against the five tombstones.
The massive force of the falling tombstones was strong and violent. Upon collision, they pulverized countless sound waves.
However, the more runes the sound waves created they encountered, the more illusory the black dragon of the tombstones became. Within a few breaths, the black dragon on the first tombstone faded and the tombstone exploded into pieces!
“The third sound of the Seven Sounds, the Sound of Mountain Extraction!”
*Zheng*
At the moment he strummed his guzheng, a devilish melody that carried the aura of wild and turbulent waves that were strong enough to move mountains and sink an island, destroyed the remaining four tombstones!
“The fourth sound of the Seven Sounds, the Sound of Thousands of Swords!”
*Zheng*
When he played this melody, a magical sound conjured one million rays of sword light which plunged towards Ning Fan, drowning the latter in a sea of swords.
Ximen Ye’s magical melodies were crafty and hard to repel. Each of the melodies was able to break unique techniques.
As he saw Ning Fan being buried under the sea of swords, Ximen Ye let out a cold snort. He then said in a disdainful tone.
“You could only withstand four of my magical sounds? It seems like there’s no need for me to use the three remaining sounds.”
“Are you done blabbering?”
A cold chuckle was heard under the sea of swords.
He would admit that the art of the Seven Sounds that Ximen Ye displayed was indeed unique. However, it seemed to be a little too early to say that he could kill him with it.
If anyone could see through the one million rays of sword light, they would be able to witness an extraordinary sight.
As the magical melody resounded, the one million swords that the melody transformed gathered and became nine streams of swords. Ning Fan stood composedly above the streams of the river. There were multiple rays of sword light flying past along his skin every second. However, none of them dared to pierce through him.
This magical sound might be strong, but it did not contain a sword intent.
On the other hand, Ning Fan’s sword intent was the Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent which had attained the Large Accomplishment. It was the greatest sword intent of all kinds of swords. With this sword intent, how would the sword qi of an ordinary sword cultivator dare to hurt him?!
Ning Fan gently lifted one of his fingers which seemed to carry an unimaginable power that could wipe out everything and cause a stir in the heavens.
When he pointed it, the world within the heavenly dwelling space trembled. Mountains collapsed. The land cracked. The sky shattered.
“Heaven Breaking Sword Finger - the first and second stage!”
Amidst the destruction of heaven and earth, a blinding sword light shot out from his finger turned into one million rays of sword light which he then stretched into one million sword threads.
Threads of swords filled the sky. The swords that were conjured by the melody disintegrated. When Ximen Ye saw Ning Fan whose body was coiled with sword threads, his cold eyes widened with surprise. He then summoned darkness that wrapped around his body.
Without any hesitation, he cast his guzheng aside and ran!
At the next moment, one million sword threads bombarded Ximen Ye’s direction. Heaven and earth was turned into a place as awful as a purgatory.
Under the barrage of the sword threads, the guzheng which was condensed using void power was immediately broken. Ximen Ye’s physical body was shredded to blood mist and he disappeared without leaving a shadow.
Ten breaths later, the sword threads faded. Above the ruins, a ball of black light condensed and Ximen Ye reappeared. His physical body had reformed. Doubtlessly, it was the Indestructible Body of Incarnation Technique!
