Chapter 272 - The woman in black
At the same time that Xiang Yun looked at the high platform, the four people who had been fighting also stopped at the same time. They looked towards the high platform at the same time, at the woman who was playing the zither with her bare hands!"Which expert are you? Why did you stop us from fighting?"
Chu Yang looked at the lady on the stage and asked in a deep voice. He had been in the mood for the free-for-all, and now that he was forced to stop, he felt extremely depressed in his heart!
"Hehe …" Before the zither music on the high platform faded away, the delicate sounds of giggling of women could be heard.
"The War G.o.d Palace"s Chu Yang, the Milky Way Sword Sect"s Jian Er, the Heavenly Demon Sect"s Wei Tian, and the Emperor Nether Palace"s Yao Haohuang. All the young geniuses of the younger generation have gathered together. It"s so lively."Hearing this, Wei Tian snorted: "Where did this demoness come from? Since you know our ident.i.ties, then why didn"t you scram a little further. You actually dare to pretend to be a demon? Do you believe that I won"t cut you into a pool of blood?"
"Haha …" Not only did the woman not fear him, she even sneered and said, "Wei Tian, among these four people, you are the weakest, but this tone is the biggest!"
"You"re courting death!" With a flick of his thumb, the sword was unsheathed. A blood-red sword qi shot out like a meteor chasing the moon, instantly breaking through the curtain on the stage and charging towards the woman"s forehead!"Ha ha, such insignificant skill!"
The woman didn"t care about the terrifying blood colored sword at all. She strummed the zither, and an invisible sound wave emitted. It instantly collided with the blood colored sword qi, but unexpectedly, the sword qi instantly shattered and the invisible sound wave rushed towards Wei Tian!
Wei Tian"s expression changed. He waved his hand and a blood-red vortex appeared in his palm. As the sound wave gathered into the palm of his hand, there was a loud "clang" sound as it exploded in the palm of Wei Xi. He couldn"t help but take a step back, his face turning pale!
Not only him, but the other three people"s expressions all changed!"Demonic Sound Nine Transformations, you are the Ghost sect"s Illusory Sound Demoness!" Wei Infant stared at the blurry figure within the curtain on the stage and blurted out in shock!
"Illusory Sound Demoness!"
This woman was the direct disciple of a certain Ghost sect elder in a first-rate sect called the Ghost sect, located in the far west of the continent.
The Ghost sect had always been secretive and insidious, and this "Illusory Sound Demoness" was famous for her beautiful face, heart like a snake or scorpion, and voice like a demon for her Nine Transformations.
Even though the four of them were from famous clans, in terms of seniority, they were more than a round older than the four of them. Naturally, their cultivations were above them, so they never would have thought that they would meet this infamous witch here!
"Illusory Sound Demoness, your sect of ghosts has always been secretive, doing things that cannot be exposed. How dare you have the guts to act impudently in front of us today? Aren"t you afraid that your enemies will find you if you expose your whereabouts?"
Although Wei Tian was a bit afraid, he wasn"t. At the moment, he was not the only one. Even if this witch had some tricks up her sleeve, the four of them shouldn"t be afraid.Hearing this, the woman known as the Illusory Sound Demoness coldly smiled and said: "You"re wrong. I didn"t come to disturb you, but you came to ruin my good fortune!"
"It took three days for me to gather so much soul nourishment right now. I was just about to fish in a net when the four of you recklessly barged in and ruined my plans!"
Only now did everyone notice that even though the zither music had stopped, the intoxicated guests below were still standing in their original positions, staring at the high platform with dull eyes and a strange smile!
"Using your soul to nurture the Demonic Zither, your Ghost sect"s actions are truly insidious and ruthless!" Yao Hao Cang cast a sidelong glance at the Illusory Sound Demoness, his face carrying a look of disdain.
The woman didn"t care about this at all as she coldly warned, "Little guys, if the four of you know what"s good for you, then scram immediately. If you ruin my good fortune, then don"t blame me for pulling out your souls as well. Your souls are much stronger than theirs!"
The moment these words came out, their faces all sank. They were the current geniuses, how could they be looked down upon by others? Moreover, they were all infamous demoness!
"Hmph, witch, if you want to fight, then fight. Where did all this nonsense come from!" Chu Yang let out a cold snort. The powerful aura within his body rose bit by bit like the tides!Jian Er"s body did not move. There was an invisible sword qi around his body, the edge was revealed, condensing into the surroundings!
Yao Haochen"s hand grasped the steel blade and pulled out about an inch. A cold light shot out, twisting the void!
Wei Tian"s expression changed. After pondering for a long time, the blood light on his body began to spread and a b.l.o.o.d.y vortex appeared above his head!
A great battle was about to break out. Although Xiang Yun was anxious, he was still not strong enough. This was the so-called "tiger fighting, not persuading …" He was completely unable to interfere in a battle of this level. This was the first time he had felt the strength of the power on the mountain!
Looking at the four people who released their auras, the Illusory Sound Demoness did not get angry, but instead laughed, and said proudly: "Since the four of you insist on suicide, then I won"t hesitate to accept your souls. I believe that not long from now on, my Demon Zither will absorb your souls, and its might will increase greatly.
"Hey, you"re still a lady? You"re over 200 years old, yet you think my great-grandmother thinks that you"re old? How disgusting!" Yao Haochen revealed a look of disgust. The disdain in his words was very strong!"What did you say!" The moment she heard the words" old woman ", the originally smiling Huan Yin was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Her expression instantly turned ferocious and her voice became ear-piercing!
"Hehe, that means you, d.a.m.n old granny!" Chu Yang also chimed in!
"All of you, go die!"Along with an angry roar, the woman opened her hands and her dress fluttered. A ma.s.s of black qi flowed out from her body and instantly filled the entire pavilion with black fog and miasma!
Seeing this scene, Xiang Yun immediately knew that something was wrong. This woman in white looked delicate and weak, but he had not expected her to be so powerful, much more terrifying than the four of them. This woman"s aura seemed to be even stronger than Lu Yongchang"s!
"d.a.m.n it!"This was already the first time Xiang Yun had spoken so harshly today. He really did not know whether he had gone out and not checked out the golden page. He had only come for a stroll around the brothels, so how could he have encountered so many powerful figures, each stronger than the last!
As expected, they had already completely left Xiang Yun"s control. Not to mention saving them, it was already difficult for Xiang Yun to even protect himself. Moreover, looking at the dazed expressions of the people around them, they wanted to take them away."Hmm?"
As Xiang Yun surveyed his surroundings, he suddenly discovered that there was a woman wearing a long robe and a conical hat sitting in front of the square table beside him.
Don"t ask how Xiang Yun knew that she was a woman. The scale of her chest was simply too spectacular, and it was hard to hide. Xiang Yun couldn"t help but take a few more glances, casually glancing at that astonishingly long pair of legs.
Xiang Yun looked at the woman not only because of the latter"s impressive figure, but because at this moment, in the entire Phoenix Pavilion, other than those four people and himself, everyone was completely bewitched by her magical zither, frozen in place.
However, the woman wearing the bamboo hat was actually holding a cup of tea and savoring it. She didn"t even bother to look at it as she looked at the tea in her cup!
Xiang Yun was stunned for a moment before a thought came into his mind. This girl must have been scared silly, and now she still had the mood to drink tea?"Miss, let"s leave quickly. This place is too dangerous!" Xiang Yun hurriedly reminded!
The woman did not raise her head, as if she had not heard Xiang Yun"s words. She only lightly shook the teacup in her hand, causing the tea water to ripple, but not overflowing the teacup!
Xiang Yun turned his head back at this time. At this moment, the Illusory Sound Demoness" head was covered in black silk, intertwining with the black Qi like a jade-faced Luosha ghost, giving off a frightening aura.
As for Chu Yang, Yao Haotian, Wei Tian, and Jian Er, they all flew up at the same time and turned into a long arc as they attacked the woman!"Hehe, I want all of you to become the souls of my Demonic Zither!" The Illusory Sound Demoness screeched, both hands pressing down on the zither strings!
As he turned to flee, he saw that the woman was still looking at the teacup in her hands, hugging onto the nearest principle. If he could save a person, then he would save a person. Without saying a word, Xiang Yun reached out and grabbed the woman"s hand!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
He did not know why, but at this critical moment, when Xiang Yun touched this palm, his heart actually shook and an inappropriate thought appeared in his mind!
However, this thought only lasted for an instant, because in the next moment, Xiang Yun was already sent flying backwards like a cannonball. As the sky and earth spun around him, he ruthlessly slammed into one of the walls of the pavilion, his entire body sinking into the stone wall!
"Cough, cough!"
Xiang Yun was completely stupefied. He struggled to lift his head and look through the cracks in the stone, only to see the bamboo hat woman who had originally been seated on the seat slowly raise her head.
Her face was covered by a layer of black gauze, but her pair of eyes were as deep as the stars. Her vast and limitless eyes stared at Xiang Yun, unexpectedly emitting a cold killing intent!
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Xiang Yun felt as if he had fallen into h.e.l.l. Life and death was within the thoughts of this woman. That feeling of being minuscule and insignificant was like an ant looking up at Mount Tai!
In the next moment, Xiang Yun saw a scene that he would never forget. In the main hall of the Phoenix Pavilion, Yao Hao, 2nd Sword, and the other two had already made their moves. Blades and swords flashed in the sky, their auras overflowing.As for the Illusory Sound Demoness, she played the zither in her hand. Countless sonic blades turned into rainbows as they met the enemy!
A great battle was supposed to erupt. However, right at this moment, the teacup in the black clothed woman"s hand exploded into pieces. Water splattered all over the cup. However, after the water droplets were shattered, they stopped moving and remained motionless in the air.
At the same time, the five people facing each other in the sky also stopped at that moment. The scene seemed to have frozen at that moment, and the only person who didn"t stop was the girl in black!
She only turned her head to look, her entire body suffused with black smoke. The black-clothed woman flicked her finger, causing a drop of water to float in front of her, and the drop of water flew towards the Illusory Sound Demoness!
In the next moment, the world returned to normal as the river of time flowed without any hindrance!
As for that drop of water, it had already appeared in front of her. She suddenly felt gooseb.u.mps all over her body, and an extremely strong sense of danger a.s.saulted her. She subconsciously lifted the magical zither in front of her to protect herself!
Peng peng peng!In that instant, the Illusory Sound Demoness painstakingly used her soul to nurture the zither, causing it to completely break. The zither body directly exploded, and an incomparably tyrannical energy rushed over!
The Illusory Sound Demoness was scared out of her wits. Suddenly, she turned into a streak of black smoke and escaped. In the next moment, from within the black smoke came a mournful and miserable scream!
At this moment, a thunderous roar resounded in the world!"Who dares to hurt my disciple? How dare you!"
In the next moment, a huge pitch-black hand with billowing black smoke fell from the sky. It fell from the sky like a huge mountain, smashing straight towards the woman in black who was sitting quietly on the bench!
