Chapter 115 - Exaggeration (1/2)
"No wonder he is called Xuanji, even I can't tell where he is hiding at!"
He heaved out a long breath, and spread out his psyche to catch the slightest abnormalities in the air Only then would he be able to sense the Yu Xuanji's aura. This monster Qi Practitioner had morphed into a little fish three inches long, hiding in the rainwaters and swimming towards Qing You and Yu Kun.
And the rain was not natural either, it was actually Water Sword Qi, dripping down in a line like thread, following one another on the heels. Not only that, he could still feel the immense power hidden in the rainwater. Every drop of rainwater contained complicated totem carvings within them, which make them to be more than just simple Sword Qi!
Rain poured from the sky, but the young monster lady Qing You and the other Qi Practitioner Yu Kun were nonchalant about it. Right at this time, the sounds of a lute playing could be faintly heard. It was unknown when, but Hu Qimei had already alighted at a hill beside the battlefield, her long and delicate fingers flicked across and plucked on the strings; the sounds of the lute that effused an inexplicable bitterness arrived at the ears of Qing You who was still in the middle of an intense battle.
Hu Qimei's lute is quite similar to Senior Martial Sister Jun Sixie's zither, but there is also a slight difference!
Zhong Yue listened carefully, and his heart stiffened up, Jun Sixie's zither sounds would be turned into Sword Qi, but Hu Qimei's lute sounds were very bizarre and uncanny. The sounds of the lute playing would evoke tears in the eyes of the listeners, but masked behind the veneer of the sonorous melody was the killing intent that seemed to rend the soul.
Qing You and Yu Kun felt uneasy and they stopped abruptly at the same time and shouted, "Who is playing the lute?"
Before the words could finish exiting their mouths, the rain suddenly stopped pouring down. The raindrops turned stagnant in midair, Yu Kun glanced around and noticed that there were at least ten thousand tiny raindrops and rainwater threads!
"YU XUANJI!"
Yu Kun growled in anger, the demon god spirit behind lifted him up in its hand and lunged into the air; meanwhile, the rainwater droplets blasted towards him in all domains!
Krong krong krong!
Sounds of eruptions blasted out as the raindrops fell down onto Yu Kun and the demon god spirit. Immediately, there were dark black carvings emerging out around Yu Kun, weaving around him into a cocoon in the demon god's hand.
His defensive shield skill was different from the others, it was a shield skill of the demon race, while the demon god spirit agitated waves after waves of dark totems around its body, warding off the rainwaters. The dark mist around its body was blasted and holes were created, but they would then billow and reform together again, it was very magnificent.
Countless raindrops fell onto the black cocoon, blasting countless holes on it. Then the next moment, the rainwater threads swarmed over — Chi chi chi — piercing through the demon god spirit and the ragged black cocoon.
"Yu Xuanji, the enmity between you and me is now irreconcilable!"
Yu Kun groaned in pain, the black cocoon burst out and a giant beast appearing like lustrous jade leaped out from the black coon, Its body was pierced with holes, and white colored jade liquids were flowing out endlessly!
It was a jade cow, bellowing and growling as it was severely injured by the rainwater threads and raindrops, the demon god spirit behind it was also heavily impaired, it shouted, "Yu Xuanji, come out…."
Ziuu ——
Before he could finish his sentence, a silver fish swam into his body through the wound openings.
The jade cow was shocked, his body started to shrivel down. He was one that was blessed by the heavens, he was a being that was born from a piece of peerless jade. Over time, as the jade basked in under the light of the sun and moon, it gave birth to a spirit within, forming into the jade liquids. But its outer shape was a cow, and because it was born from by the earth, that was why he was called Kun.
Meanwhile, Yu Xuanji was already in his body, sucking the jade liquids from inside him and gradually reaping his life away. In a trice, Jade Kun was only left with the outer shell, all of the jade liquid inside of him was sucked away by the little silver fish, and even his soul dissipated into thin air!
While on the other side, the lady Qing You heard the melodic sound of the lute, she quickly manipulated the gourd with all her strength. The multi-armed celestial being stood up from the gourd, reached out its arms and wrapped her within. It then bolted away with great speed!
Suddenly, the sounds of the lute grew more and more intense, every voice and sound could not only incite its unsuspecting audience to erupt in tears, but also reap their lives away like a melody of death. Qing You had only managed to run out of the valley before all of a sudden, blood gushed out like waterfalls from the multi-armed celestial being's palms.
The multi-armed celestial being growled loudly and its body started to crumble, it turned into thick and viscous monstrous clouds flowing back into the gourd, and completely disappeared in the gourd as it fell onto the ground.
Along with the gourd was Qing You's dead body, the young monster lady's eyes were filled with terror, she was not in her true form. Uncountable wounds were scattered across her body. As in the time that the lute melody was on the rising crescendo towards it deathly peak, she was already dead due to excessive bleeding, she could not even make it in time to morph back into her true form!
Invisible Sword Qi!
In the skiff, Zhong Yue squinted his eyes, he gazed at Hu Qimei who was on the hill as she kept the lute and walked over to Qing You's remains. She reached out her hands, gently and tenderly, she tidied the remains before her.
"Junior Martial Sister Qing You, even after your death, elder sister will still let you depart in peace." the monster lady laughed and said.
Her sonic waves have sounds but not form, it must be some kind of sonic wave technique, where totem carvings would form at the places the sounds can reach. It was nigh indefensible by any shield.!
Zhong Yue pressed down the shock in his heart and he thought to himself, Breaking this sonic wave technique can only be done by fighting sound with sound, in the moon spirit totem pattern, there is the Mangu Roar, it can fight off her sonic waves! Or, with lightning speed, going all out to strike her dead before giving her any chance to play her lute!
Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei had their own arts and skills, strong and uncanny ones— Yu Xuanji's rainwater threads were quite similar to the sword silk; but the raindrops were completely different. They would be akin to water bombs, blasting through the opponent's defense to give the opportunity for the rainwater threads to enter.
And Hu Qimei's lute was the most bizarre and uncanny of all, one that could not be guarded against at all.
