275 Wash Away the Black River (1/2)
In an instant, Ye Qingxuan had lost completely. A saying amongst Indian monks was, ”One snap contains twenty instants, one instant contains twenty thoughts, one thought contains ninety moments, and one moment contains nine-million lives and deaths.”
During the nine million lives and deaths of that moment, countless thoughts and emotions arose. Music theory overlapped messily, and Ye Qingxuan was hit hundreds of times. Every time he gathered himself again, he was completely obliterated by the curse.
During this process, he gradually created an understanding of the black river. The various negative emotions had clear layers and were integrated. The hundreds upon thousands of negative emotions gradually became one. As they were destroyed and reborn, they formed the black river.
Extra notes and unsuitable music theory were taken out. After nine rebirths, the black river became clearer than ever. It was colorless and formless. Ye Qingxuan could barely trace it.
In the East, Mind musicians would plant demonic thoughts into other’s minds. An extremely high level was ‘free transformation.’ This seed came and left without warning, like the spring wind transforming into rain. The victim would be transformed into a puppet without any realization or sign. Now, Ye Qingxuan could survive a few seconds of the battle between music theories.
The mark of the demonic eye seemed to understand something and grew furious! This *sshole was secretly copying its ways! No School of Mind musician had ever tried these tricks!
The mark was a music note that represented godly power but it was still an object created by Hyakume. The average man would either struggle painfully and transform into a demon or commit suicide to avoid the pain. No one was so bold and reckless!
Ye Qingxuan’s constant challenges angered the consciousness sleeping inside the rune. It jolted and separated into nine. It had given up on the Ripper and now charged at Ye Qingxuan against the tide!
”Finally!” Ye Qingxuan grinned. The colorless river in his heart surged again. This time, it was broken down, of course. However, it did not retreat after collapsing. Instead, it entangled with the music theory of the curse. The next step would be for the curse to use this as a springboard and jump into Ye Qingxuan’s body. However, there was no next step.
The colorless river suddenly caved in. The broken music theory reconnected and transformed into something else. The new theory swallowed Hyakume’s. Covering the nine satanic runes, it finally revealed itself.
Moonlight! It was moonlight!
A huge moon that covered the sky rose in the Ripper’s heart. It broke through the endless darkness. Everything in its path was purified equally. The black river was washed away and a bright moon rose in the heart! It had finally transformed into moonlight!
This was what was born after Black Friday washed away all stray thoughts and grew to its peak—the image of Moonlight that Ye Lanzhou had planted! It had not yet reached the terrifying level of the ‘moon above the sea,’ but it showed signs of that phenomenon.
Ye Qingxuan had to thank Hyakume’s curse to some extent. He had always focused on unorthodox and shady tricks. Not only did the curse teach him the basics, it also contained various application techniques for mind battles. It was practically like the old man who taught secret tricks in adventure novels. Now, the ‘old man’ did not need to exist anymore.
The mark of the eye was washed countless times under the moonlight. All satanic auras melted. A consciousness thousands of miles away felt something. Fury shot out from the deep abyss with bone-numbing hatred and evil. Roars spread from the music theory.
”Ye Lanzhou, you’re here!”
Then the wild power spun. It surged from thousands of miles away using the entangled music theory, wanting to destroy everything. However, the moonlight cut the eye mark completely like a blade at that moment.
The twisted mark shattered and the layers of negativity disappeared. The curse was completely destroyed. As the connection of music theory broke, the power that had come out of nowhere vanished as well.
Angry roars sounded angrily in the air. The fury scattered in all directions. In an instant, countless people across the land woke up from their nightmares with sweat rolling down their backs.
At the same time, Naberius, observing outside the dungeon, felt Hayakume’s aura disappear completely. He flinched and shock appeared on the two skulls.
”Is the curse really lifted?”
The darkness that had been restricted now shot forward like a fountain. The burning darkness surged and broke into the territory of Naberius’ bloody Danube River. His vision went black and he stumbled back.
The almost-tangible murderous intent had transformed into a cyclone. His face hurt from the wind. The Ripper’s power was awakening.
”Mr. Holmes, it seems that you’d rather work with the Ripper than accept my feelings?” Naberius stared into the dark dungeon and shook his head. ”I’m so disappointed. I’m so hurt.” Despite his words, he left without hesitation. He had stayed here for too long. There was no point in remaining. He might even attract a creature of the same level. The consequences were unimaginable.
