King of Creation-Chapter 668 - 660 Battle with Young Master Demon Sound (Second Update)
Chapter 668: Chapter 660 Battle with Young Master Demon Sound (Second Update)
"Hey, who do you think will win? If it were before yesterday, I definitely would have thought Shang Lingqi would win, but now that Ye Zhen has the achievement of slaying White Bone Young Master Lio Kechu, it’s hard to say!"
"About that, I still think Young Master Demon Sound, Shang Lingqi, will win. I always felt that when Ye Zhen killed White Bone Young Master Lio Kechu, it was somewhat..." the martial artist scratched his head, struggling to find the right words.
"You mean it was eerie, right?"
"Exactly, eerie!"
"Let me tell you, our Sect Leader said that Ye Zhen was able to kill White Bone Young Master because Ye Zhen’s Thunder Technique just happened to completely counter White Bone Young Master’s White Bone Divine Skill.
"Now, facing our Senior Brother Shang from Heavenly Net Sect, could it be the same? He might be taken down in just a few moves." Luo Xin of the Heavenly Net Sect said proudly.
"That’s true indeed."
"A few moves, you dare say? Have the guts to not admit defeat when you fight Ye Zhen on stage!" Nian Xinghe, not far away, couldn’t stand it and retorted.
"Me, fight Ye Zhen? Heaven knows if Ye Zhen will even get the chance!" Luo Xin said disdainfully, snorting.
"To think about killing Ye Zhen, it’s a dream!"
"Dream or not, just watch and see..."
While Luo Xin and Nian Xinghe were arguing, Qingyun Castle Master Yun Chongxiao had already flown up to the Martial Arena, representing Mountain Master of Heavenly Net Sect Wug Mengshan to preside over this sensitive and critical match, which Wug Mengshan had to recuse himself from.
At that moment, Ye Zhen and Shang Lingqi both stepped onto the Martial Arena.
However, just as Ye Zhen stepped onto the Martial Arena, Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s instructions echoed in Ye Zhen’s mind, "Ye Zhen, you can also win by strategy, for instance, feigning a Divine Soul Attack..."
In this brief moment, Jian Qianxiong had already proposed several clever tactics for Ye Zhen, indicating how seriously he took this battle and his lack of confidence in Ye Zhen’s matchup against Shang Lingqi.
Ultimately, he was worried about Ye Zhen’s strength.
"Brother Ye, the name ’Thunderclap Killing God’ is already thunderous in my ears; I have long admired it, and I am fortunate to have a battle with Brother Ye today," Shang Lingqi greeted Ye Zhen from a distance.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen smiled casually, "My meager reputation is nothing worth mentioning; it’s Ye Zhen’s reputation that feels like a mountain weighing on my head. Every time I look up, I feel as if the skies are darkened!"
"Haha, Brother Ye is too modest!"
Shang Lingqi laughed heartily. Despite his hearty laugh, he was very cautious, never making eye contact with Ye Zhen during the conversation, always glancing away quickly.
It appears that Shang Lingqi, an expert at Divine Soul Attacks, was very attentive to this point.
"Please!"
"Please!"
Ding!
The Nine-Ringed Demon Sound Blade in Shang Lingqi’s hand trembled slightly, and the nine large rings chimed, creating a strange frequency that rushed directly into the mind, the bizarre and earsplitting tune making one nearly crazed.
However, if you thought that merely blocking your hearing could defend against Shang Lingqi’s Demon Sound, you would be greatly mistaken. The Demon Sound is just the appearance; the Divine Soul Attack is the essence.
Almost at the instant Shang Lingqi’s Demon Sound rang out, the two Tianzhu in Ye Zhen’s Soul Sea immediately radiated brilliantly, emitting rings of light that blocked the continuous Divine Soul Attack from outside.
Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense plunged into Sword Heart Enlightenment at once, and an invisible Golden Sword Light pierced the heavens, rendering everything around him crystal clear in Ye Zhen’s mind.
In this state, all techniques and changes were straightforward in Ye Zhen’s eyes.
Under the control of Divine Soul Power, the sound emitted by the Nine-Ringed Demon Sound Blade in Ye Zhen’s mind turned into the most basic tinkling of copper rings, devoid of any Divine Soul Attack power. Admittedly, the sound was still grating, but it had no further effect on the battle. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Nine Illusions of Demon Sound!"
In the midst of the piercing ding sound, the Nine-Ringed Demon Sound Blade suddenly split into nine, each blade as if it could split the heavens and the earth in two.
Ye Zhen slightly furrowed his brows. Under the perception of Sword Heart Enlightenment, all nine blades were actually solid, with no illusions.
In other words, every blade that struck Ye Zhen would indeed harm him.
Spirit Wings flashed behind him, Silver Line Flash!
In an instant, Ye Zhen dashed a kilometer away, one Shattered Jade Seal after another flying from his chest towards the slashing Nine-Ringed Demon Sound Blade.
Shang Lingqi’s Blade Technique was also extremely domineering, altering the blade’s force slightly; the Nine-Ringed Demon Sound Blade struck like lightning, cutting one of Ye Zhen’s Shattered Jade Seals in half before it could even erupt.
"Brother Ye is skilled in the Divine Soul aspect, eh? Try another move of mine!"
Shang Lingqi shouted sharply, his body shooting up like a bolt of lightning, and in an instant, over thirty spirit shadows of Shang Lingqi appeared on the Martial Arena, each holding a Nine-Ringed Demon Sound Blade, ceaselessly shifting positions.
Amid these positional changes, each spirit shadow’s Nine-Ringed Demon Sound Blade emitted a Demon Sound of different pitches.
The Demon Sound from over thirty spirit shadows mingled together, forming a torrent of Demon Sound that was almost maddening, making one desperate to dig out one’s ears or smash one’s skull.
"Not good!"
Whether it was Jian Qianxiong or Yin Changsheng, or Wug Mengshan and Yan Cong, their expressions changed simultaneously.
Before they could react, a scream erupted one after another.
"Ah!"
"My head!"
"My brain, ah...."
The martial artists of various major forces watching the battle, especially those with mediocre cultivation, all had their facial expressions drastically change. Several of them desperately slapped their own heads, screaming frantically.
People like Yun Yue from Qingyun Castle, Yun Xin, Zuo Xiong from Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Xing Fei from Stars Tower, Mann He’an from Longevity Sect, Lio Kechu, and even Song Xuesong from Heavenly Net Sect, all clutched their heads and screamed in agony at the same time.
Like Yun Yue, the moment the Demon Sound rang out, he knocked himself so hard that his head bled.
The higher-ups of various forces acted together, knocking these people unconscious to finally quiet them down, showing the terrifying nature of Shang Lingqi’s Demon Sound.
Moreover, other people like Yan Yijun, Nian Xinghe, and Yun Ce, although not screaming in agony like the others, were not in a much better situation, their faces instantly turning pale as paper.
Their figures continuously retreated, only stabilizing after retreating a thousand meters.
Not just the participating martial artists, but also the high-ranking members accompanying them from various forces, under the attack range of the Demon Sound, all wore serious expressions, not daring to slacken, and most of their faces looked extremely awful.
If the people at the edge of the battlefield were injured to this extent, what about Ye Zhen in the center of the battlefield?
Sword Light whirling furiously, amidst the overwhelming Sword Light, Ye Zhen appeared like a small boat in the ocean, looking shaky and tumultuous, as if at any moment it could capsize.
But Young Master Demon Sound Shang Lingqi, also in the battlefield, felt a faint, barely perceptible danger.
Suddenly, a golden Sword Light burst forth from among the millions of Sword Lights, a hundred-meter-long Golden Sword Gang cutting through at an extremely mysterious angle with the speed of lightning.
Heart Sword Killing Move!
What frightened Shang Lingqi more was that faced with this sword, he felt he had no choice but to brace himself for impact. Shang Lingqi had a premonition that if he tried to evade instead of bracing, not only would he fail to dodge, but he would also be cleaved in two by the Sword Light.
A martial artist’s instinct can sometimes be incredibly astonishing.
By then, Shang Lingqi no longer had time to consider how Ye Zhen had located his True Body, how he could still launch such a powerful attack so effortlessly under his Demon Sound attack.
With a loud roar, the Nine-Ringed Demon Sound Blade suddenly burst forth with blinding Gold Element Spiritual Power, also condensing a hundred yards of Sword Gang, thundering forward.
Pu!
Sword Light and Blade Light vanished at the same time.
Hiss!
A gasp of cold air sounded from below the platform. In this move, the two were evenly matched; Ye Zhen, merely at the Fifth Realm of the Soul Sea, had incredibly matched Shang Lingqi, at the Fifth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, blow for blow — that was inconceivable!
A fierce battle then unfolded between the two men.
Shang Lingqi seemed to realize that his Demon Sound could not affect Ye Zhen and simply stopped using it, employing his Divine Power Secret Technique and Nine-Ringed Demon Sound Blade to fiercely clash with Ye Zhen.
However, the expression of Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong turned extremely serious because if this situation continued, the one who would lose in the end would be Ye Zhen.
The amount of Spiritual Power in the Dantian of a Fifth Realm martial artist in the Soul Sea, compared to the peak Fourth Realm martial artist in the Vein Forging Realm, was far too little.
"As long as the fight goes on like this, Ye Zhen will undoubtedly lose!" the Sect Master of Heavenly Net Sect, Wug Mengshan, finally let out a sigh of relief.
Not far away, Yin Changsheng and Yan Cong looked fiercely eager, with only one thought in their minds, "It would be best to kill Ye Zhen right here on the spot!"
Suddenly, as Ye Zhen and Shang Lingqi passed by each other on the battlefield, something unexpected happened.
Ye Zhen on the ground, and Shang Lingqi passing over Ye Zhen’s head from high in the sky, when suddenly, Ye Zhen’s fingertips condensed the Floating Cloud Finger, yet he did not release it.
In that moment, Ye Zhen’s figure fiercely soared into the sky, his fingertip’s Floating Cloud Finger pointing at Shang Lingqi, and most shockingly, his speed was so fast that it was more than double than what Ye Zhen had shown before!
Ye Zhen had experienced the power of Shang Lingqi’s Floating Cloud Finger, which was extremely terrifying.
Unable to dodge directly in the face, and specifically designed to break Spiritual Power Battle Armor.
With a thought, Shang Lingqi suddenly accelerated. Shang Lingqi had practiced a Divine Power Body Technique, very fast, thinking to evade Ye Zhen’s attack with speed.
Just as Shang Lingqi accelerated, an indescribable heavy sensation suddenly came, feeling as though a mountain rapidly fell under his feet, not only unable to accelerate but his figure also sharply sank.
In an instant, Shang Lingqi was hugely startled.
As his figure sank, Ye Zhen rapidly closed in; with one retreating and the other advancing, the distance quickly closed.
Shang Lingqi then saw a jade-colored seal rapidly approaching right toward his forehead!
In a moment of life and death, Shang Lingqi’s body bizarrely bent, and the next moment, Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger harshly struck Shang Lingqi’s left shoulder.
Crack!
Pop!
The first sound was of Shang Lingqi’s Protective Spirit Armor shattering, the second sound was Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger piercing through a rising Precious Armor Spirit Light from Shang Lingqi’s body then dissipating.
As a seeded contestant of the Heavenly Net Sect, Shang Lingqi could not be without Precious Armor for protection, and judging from the fluctuation of Qi, it was a Supreme Treasure Armor.
This scene relieved Shang Lingqi.
But the glimpse of dark Thunder Light from the corner of his eyes gave Shang Lingqi an instant feeling of his soul being scattered!(To be continued.
