153: Chapter 40 Silver Dragon Princess (Part 2)_1 153: Chapter 40 Silver Dragon Princess (Part 2)_1 As she thought, her body hovered about a hundred meters in the air, and the four fundamental magics of water, fire, earth, and wind assaulted Ye Yinzhu’s body like a barrage.
This was something an Intermediate Green rank Mage absolutely couldn’t achieve.
Controlling the Green Silk with his right hand, Ye Yinzhu’s left hand lightly strummed the zither strings.
Facing a formidable enemy, his mind was a clear void at this moment.
The instant Li Sha’s attack began, he understood her intention.
The hundred-meter distance was out of reach for his Sound Blade, and the enemy was using Green rank strength to unleash Zi rank power.
How could he win if he passively took hits without even being able to plete his zither music?
A milky luster surged from Moon God’s Protection.
Ye Yinzhu’s zither magic was at the Intermediate Green rank, naturally unable to withstand Green rank magic, not to mention the dense barrage of Green rank magic attacks.
But at this moment, his eyes revealed a resolute gaze.
Moon God’s Protection, as one of The Guardian Set, seemed rather ordinary pared to the other two pieces.
However, it could enhance its defensive power according to the user’s own strength.
It was also the most useful piece of The Guardian Set.
At this moment, for his sake, and for Zi Zhu, Ye Yinzhu used a power he had not even used when facing tens of thousands of the Beastman Army in Qin City.
The hand that was on the zither strings swiftly reached out, he fished out the cloth bag holding the Zi Zhu Magic Needle from his calf, and with a light pluck of his four fingers, three long needles were already in his grasp.
While controlling the Green Silk, he unhesitatingly inserted the three Zi Zhu Magic Needles into his scalp.
A flash of purple light, then silence.
A streak of purple light suddenly flashed across Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, a pained expression crossing his face.
The control of the Green Silk slowed slightly, almost letting Li Sha’s magic break through.
Because the light from the Green Silk transfigured Bamboo Defense was dazzling, and abundant Green rank magic blocked Li Sha’s view, she did not see Ye Yinzhu’s actions.
Ye Yinzhu quickly repeated the previous action three times.
The needles were the same purple color, only the insertion points were slightly different.
In the blink of an eye, nine Zi Zhu Magic Needles had already entered his head, the elegance on his face faded slightly, and all expressions vanished along with it.
The previous agony disappeared, replaced by a cold emptiness.
The radiating green light suddenly retracted.
Just when Li Sha believed that Ye Yinzhu’s Douqi couldn’t hold on any longer and he was about to lose, the light from Moon God’s Protection flared up instantaneously, expanding rapidly into a vast sphere with a diameter of three meters.
All Green rank magic attacks hitting it only caused ripples of white light, pletely unable to break through.
Ye Yinzhu raised his head to look at Li Sha in the air, speaking calmly, “Impressive, with your spiritual power, my zither magic cannot fully function.
But that doesn’t mean it has no effect at all.
It’s just a little less effective.
Now, please listen to my rendition of ‘The Wild Geese Descend on the Sand’.”
Moon God’s Protection miraculously exhibited a strong defensive capability, flickering with silver light.
When he sat down on the ground, the zither on his knees had already changed from Spring Thunder to Haiyue Qinhui.
A layer of faint silver brilliance slowly emerged deep within his eyes.
Eight fingers moved in unison, ‘The Wild Geese Descend on the Sand’ played with a beautiful melody, rising and falling, endlessly flowing, graceful and captivating; the underlying tone was quietly elegant, yet dynamic within its tranquility.
Simple and smooth, enduring and fresh.
This was the second zither piece Li Sha heard Ye Yinzhu play, pletely different from “Falling City.” “Falling City” seemed to fully express the emotions in her heart, while this “The Wild Geese Descend on the Sand” soothed her mood more and more, and even her magic unconsciously slowed down as she used it.
Although perplexed as to why Ye Yinzhu’s Moon God’s Protection could block her concentrated Green rank magic attacks, Li Sha was even more astonished as to why Ye Yinzhu would play this particular piece.
To her ear, it seemed utterly harmless!
However, she had to admit that this zither piece was equally captivating.
What a dazzling spectacle it was!
In the air, floated the bewitchingly beautiful woman with silver hair and purple eyes, countless shapes of green light shooting downward.
And on the ground, a giant cluster of milky white light, like a huge ball of cotton, where a cold-faced, elegant young man with a noble presence sat.
It felt like the sage’s heart reaching the saint’s heart while playing the ancient zither.
Rings of deep yellow light drifted out, acpanied by the melody of “The Wild Geese Descend on the Sand.” When Li Sha felt something was amiss, she was shocked to find herself descending from a hundred meters high in the sky to about twenty meters above ground, as if her body was entirely beyond her control.
“The Wild Geese Descend on the Sand,” one of the nine famous pieces of the Zither Sect, Effect: Air Denial.
Ye Yinzhu had once played this zither song in the face of Nesta, whose giant dragon was also at seventh rank, equivalent to the Blue rank standard.
With the influence of the Haiyue Qinhui Zither and the deterrence of Zi on the dragon, it had an instantaneous effect.
Of course, Nesta’s fire dragon was far from parable to the adult Silver Dragon Li Sha in front of him.
However, the current Ye Yinzhu was also not the same as before.
His spiritual power had surged three ranks in an instant, from the second rank of The Brave Qinxin Sword to the fifth rank, which is equivalent to the Intermediate Green rank of the Rainbow-grade.
Coupled with the benefits of cultivating the Pure Qinxin and the amplification brought by the Haiyue Qinhui Zither, although he couldn’t fully deploy the anti-flight effect on Li Sha, it didn’t mean there was no effect, just as he said.
Thus, Li Sha’s body descended to a position twenty meters above the ground, no longer able to soar high.
It was also because of the sudden increase in strength that the Moon God’s Protection temporarily gained the ability to withstand the bombardment of Green rank Magic Attacks.
For the victory of this battle, Ye Yinzhu used a special ability of Zhu Sect called the Nine-needle Stimulating Divine Technique.
Through the stimulation of nine different acupoints on the head with nine Zi Zhu Magic Needles, spiritual power was sublimated instantly through the pression of the breath of life, elevating the spiritual power by three ranks in a short time.
This technique was originally meant to assist the Four Magic Sects from Zhu Sect, but for Ye Yinzhu, who cultivated both magic and martial arts, it was naturally applicable to himself.
When Ye Li passed on this ability to Ye Yinzhu, he had told him that it should not be used lightly unless facing an invincible enemy because, although the Nine-needle Stimulating Divine Technique could boost strength instantly, the side effects were also significant.
Each use would cause the magic rank to fall by one rank.
It is known that the higher the magic cultivation, the harder it is to improve.
For an ordinary Mage, it might take years of cultivation just to advance by one rank!
Ye Yinzhu would have never wanted to use this ability if the gap between the two sides wasn’t so great.
With a flash, Ye Yinzhu catapulted upward, instantly stowing the Haiyue Qinhui Zither into his Space Ring.
Though “The Wild Geese Descend on the Sand” had ended, the anti-flight effect could last for more than ten minutes.
For him, these ten minutes were crucial to the oute of the battle.
Seeing Ye Yinzhu rushing towards her at lightning speed, Li Sha couldn’t help but startle, but this was when her full magic ability came into play.
A flash of Green Light, and a solid wall of earth suddenly arose in front of Ye Yinzhu.
Immediately afterwards, Li Sha cast Holy Protection, a Light attribute spell on herself, enveloping her body with a shield filled with a sacred aura.
Her body shimmered in place, and numerous images of her appeared twenty meters in the air, the Space Attribute’s Mirror Shadow Technique, forming a huge arc, making it difficult to discern the real from the illusions.
Mirror Shadow Technique was not terrifying in itself since only one of the many images was real.
However, what was terrifying was that each shadow cast by Li Sha using the Mirror Shadow Technique could conjure real magic.
Magic from water, fire, earth, wind, and light attributes flooded every corner of the space like mercury pouring out, creating a devastating storm, raging wildly with Ye Yinzhu at its center.
Ye Yinzhu, sprinting at high speed, leapt high with a tap of his toes against the earth wall trying to stop him, plunging straight into the air, facing the massive elemental storm without flinching, and shouted loudly, “True Eye.”
A three-inch long yellow light appeared at Ye Yinzhu’s brow, the light splitting to reveal an eye-like shape, as a piercing divine light shot out, the Spiritual Magic True Eye, specialized in breaking illusions.
Amidst the wild bombardment of the destructive storm on the energy field of the Moon God’s Protection, Ye Yinzhu also managed to lock onto Li Sha’s real location with the True Eye.
He had learned this magic from the notes gifted to him by Fergerson.
Intense blasts, like hail scourging the earth, followed by a crisp shattering sound, and the Moon God’s Protection defense finally shattered under immense pressure, dissolving into specks of white light that vanished into thin air.
Fifth Rank Yellow Bamboo Douqi erupted in silence.
Ye Yinzhu did not use Zhu Yu because if he had, the magic would have pushed him back to the ground.
Instead, he employed Zhu Gong.
Numerous huge Bamboo Shadows burst from Green Silk, the mingled yellow and green light bursting like an instantaneously exploding globe of light, shooting out in a dazzling array in every direction.
As the Moon God’s Protection broke, carrying away the bulk of the magic attacks, Zhu Gong managed to block the majority of the remaining magic.
Only some of the residual magic blasts hit Ye Yinzhu, making him grunt.
But his aim was already achieved.
The Zhu Gong fired indiscriminately in all directions, including the ground, using the recoil from the attacks on the ground, Ye Yinzhu’s body ascended and surged forward again, closing in on Li Sha’s real body within ten yards in the blink of an eye.
“Bamboo—Star—Cold—.” All the light illusions created by Green Silk converged in an instant with the pressure of the space, revealing Green Silk’s true form.
The three-zhang-long Green Silk turned into a straight, sharp sword, carrying all the accumulated energy of Ye Yinzhu’s Yellow Bamboo Douqi, transforming into a point of emerald-green cold star, and stabbing straight at Li Sha’s chest.
