Chapter 197 - A Zither Melody Vanquishes the Heavenly Demon

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

Outside the small courtyard, everyone stood motionless, their eyes filled with confusion.

From time to time, indiscernible sword lights flashed in their pupils.

They were all deeply immersed in the music created in the zither room, unable to extricate themselves.

In the small courtyard, Liu Changgong’s ten fingers flew about, his black hair wildly dancing.

This song was the famous ‘ambush from all sides’ from his previous life!

The silver-haired old man and the white-haired young man were also deeply immersed in the concept of the zither.

However, they were different from Sacred Lord Brahma and the others. They had transformed into black-armored demon soldiers, and they were currently at the very front of the formation.

“This is…”

The silver-haired old man looked at his hand and was stunned into disbelief. Then, a look of wild joy and excitement appeared on his face.

“This is… This is the perfect demonic body!”

However, the joy only lasted for less than a breath before countless golden-armored warriors with monstrous killing intent appeared in front of him.

The golden spear streaked across the sky like a long dragon, turning into a golden torrent that swept over.

The silver-haired old man’s expression instantly became dull. A thick chill surged up from his back, and his body could not stop trembling.

He suddenly realized that even the perfect demonic body that he had dreamed of could not suppress the boundless fear that surged out from his heart.

He killed that man, and the weapons pierced through his body.

In just an instant, he was pierced into a sieve.

Then, he continued to resurrect at the forefront of the demonic soldiers on the battlefield. Once again, there were a hundred ambushes.

Wu Wu carefully approached and saw that the cultivators that he had followed were standing in front of a small shop in a daze.

Their eyes were lost and they didn’t know what to do.

“Senior, what are the elders doing?”

Wu Wu was about to ask, but he heard the old man in his mind frantically urging him, “Quick, quick, retreat. Cover your ears, seal your five senses, and withdraw your spiritual sense. Don’t listen to that zither music!”

Wu Wu’s mind was shaken, but he quickly retreated at the first moment. At the same time, he used a magic tool to seal his ears tightly.

In the next moment, he opened his eyes wide and saw the two demons of the Heavenly Demon Sect standing at the entrance of the store. Suddenly, his body shook violently and he stepped back from the threshold step by step.

Every time he took a small step back, he spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, a horrifying wound appeared on his body for no reason.

The wound was extremely shocking. Some were so deep that one could see the bone, while others were directly pierced through. In just a few breaths’ time, the two of them had already retreated to the outside of the courtyard.

The two of them were covered in wounds, and the wounds on their bodies were shocking!

As for the white-haired youth, his entire body was dyed red by fresh blood. His face was deathly pale, and he immediately squatted down in pain, almost fainting on the ground.

“This… is too shocking.”

Wu Wu couldn’t believe his own eyes. He had followed the two demons of the Heavenly Demon Sect for a period of time and had a deep understanding of their strength.

The strength of the two demon bodies was unimaginable. Moreover, that silver-haired old man was an existence that could withstand the self-detonation of a mystic treasure with his physical body without being injured in the slightest.

But now, they haven’t been able to get hurt out of nowhere?

Creepy!

Just because they heard the mysterious young man play a tune!?

Just think of the Senior in his mind anxiously urging him to step back and close his mind. If he was just a little bit slower…

Wu Wu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and was appalled.

…

“Praise the name of the Dark Demon Lord!”

Blood flowed out of the silver-haired old man’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and his face was terrifying. Only after reciting a long incantation that was difficult to understand did he regain his senses. He forcefully supported his body, and one of his hands firmly pressed down on the top of the young man’s head.

The white-haired young man was in a trance, and as he chanted, the black aura on his body gushed out, and the black blood that flowed out of his wound slowly slowed down.

The silver-haired old man was also gushing out a large amount of black aura. The wounds on his body quickly healed, but his face turned pale.

The silver-haired old man stared at the door. His pure black eyes were filled with shock, terror, and disbelief. There was also confusion and extreme fear.

“In the ancient battlefield, gods and demons fought each other. Who exactly is that person? He didn’t use any spells. He only used a zither melody, and he almost destroyed my demonic body…”

“No, I can’t go in!”

“As long as I step into that door again, I will die without a doubt, and my blood will be splattered on the spot.”

The silver-haired old man’s ferocious face was mixed with anger and fear. His gaze passed through the small courtyard and saw the painting hanging high in the inner hall.

The three words ‘Liu Changgong’ at the signature came into his sight.

He stared at the painting for several breaths. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his spiritual sense and took a few steps back.

“That painting is also restraining my demonic body.”.

The silver-haired elder growled, “Hurry up and leave. Otherwise, when he gets angry and uses all of his treasures, we won’t have a chance to escape.”

In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared.

The clanging of the zither finally stopped. Only then did Sacred Lord Brahma and the others break free from their dazed state.

Everyone’s faces were pale, but their eyes were extremely bright. All of them revealed joyful expressions.

Sacred Lord Brahma bowed respectfully in the direction of the store and shouted, “Many thanks for Senior’s help.”

After listening to Senior Liu’s zither music, they transformed into golden-armored warriors. Although their realms hadn’t increased, their comprehension of the laws of the Great Dao had improved a bit.

Sacred Lord Hongyi, who was by the side, was also filled with excitement and ecstasy. He imitated Sacred Lord Brahma and shouted, “Junior, Junior thanks Senior for your help.”

After Liu Changgong’s zither music, the two of them had reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcension realm. It was only a matter of time before they transcended the Tribulation and ascended. There wouldn’t be any more bottlenecks.

This zither music was equivalent to hundreds of years of bitter cultivation.

One had to know that reaching the peak of the Tribulation Transcending level from the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending level required not only bitter cultivation, but more importantly, one’s comprehension of the Great Dao!

If one’s comprehension of the Great Dao didn’t advance an inch, one might never be able to advance.

If that was the case, one would be stuck at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending level.

They could only wait for their lifespan to run out before handing over their affairs.

Sacred Lord Hongyi was sincerely convinced.

So it turned out that the Senior Liu that Sacred Lord Brahma and the others talked about day and night was really a peerless expert.

Senior Liu was indeed Senior Liu. He did not hesitate in repelling the two demon cultivators and did it smoothly in one go. He could even greatly increase their Great Dao realm.

Senior Liu really had the demeanor of a master.

Almost everyone present had a huge increase in their state of mind and cultivation. There was still a huge shock and admiration on their faces.

The grand concept of the Ancient Godfiend Battlefield that was transformed from the zither music was simply unimaginable.

Thinking about how Senior Liu still had two mysterious Heavenly treasures in his hands, Sacred Lord Hongyi cried out in surprise, “Lord Xinghe, where did Senior Liu get those two immortal zither from?”

“How would I know?” Sacred Lord Brahma said helplessly.

When everyone slowly recovered from the lingering sound of the zither, they realized that the two devils from the Heavenly Demon Sect had long disappeared.

Wang Yuyan frowned and could not help but ask about them.

Sacred Lord Tianfan said lightly, “It doesn’t matter. Senior Liu’s zither music is a form of inspiration to us. It is also a form of good fortune. But to these two demons, it is an endless calamity.”

“They have already been heavily injured by Senior Liu’s zither music. If I am not wrong, those two should not be able to live for long.”

Sacred Lord Brahma glanced at the traces left by the two demons on the road. He waved his hand lightly and wiped away the blood before slowly saying:

“Senior Liu didn’t kill them in the small courtyard because he was afraid that they would dirty the ground in his courtyard and ruin his elegant mood.”

The eyes of Wang Yuyan and the others lit up. They all felt that what he said made sense.

“Then can we go and pay our respects to Senior Liu now?”
