160: Episode 7: Silver Dragon City Chapter 43: Sealing the Divine with Nine Needles (Part 1)_1 160: Episode 7: Silver Dragon City Chapter 43: Sealing the Divine with Nine Needles (Part 1)_1 The Silver Dragon’s scales were circular, resembling enlarged silver coins; the beauty from before, Li Sha, was evidently smaller in size than the Black Dragon, but each of her circular scales emitted a crystalline luster filled with a magical aura.
Her deep purple eyes, heavy and hurried breathing, and the unstable magic fluctuations on her body all indicated her very poor condition.
The situation of the Black Dragon Ye Xingxu wasn’t much better than Li Sha’s.
The scales of the Black Dragon were diamond-shaped, and its body was much more robust than the Silver Dragon’s, especially the pair of broad and massive wings and the spikes on its back, which made it look extremely fierce.
Its blood-red eyes seemed ready to shoot fire, and smoke billowed continuously from its scales—those weren’t its own magical fluctuations, but the traces of injuries caused by being enveloped by the Forbidden Light Spell, Shining Heaven.
In front of the powerful forbidden curse, both the Silver and Black Dragons had no choice but to reveal their true forms, confronting each other with the strongest powers they possessed.
Demon Red Lotus and Shining Heaven were both forbidden curses, possessing diametrically opposed properties that countered each other.
In their clash, it came down to which of the Black Dragon or Silver Dragon possessed greater magical power—whichever did would triumph over the other.
In terms of raw strength, the Black Dragon Ye Xingxu was still more mature than the Silver Dragon Li Sha.
Moreover, after Li Sha’s battle with Ye Yinzhu during the day and the subsequent suppression by Zi, she was incapable of exerting her full strength.
However, she managed to gain the upper hand in this confrontation.
The reason was only one, the “High Mountain Flowing Water,” one of the three divine tunes among the nine prestigious songs of the Zither Sect.
The benevolent delight in mountains, the wise in waters; the “High Mountain Flowing Water” echoed from the bottom of everyone’s hearts, weakening and enhancing, two diametrically opposed effects that were respectively bestowed on the two fighters.
In this ebb and flow, although Ye Yinzhu’s magic power couldn’t fully unleash the true power of this divine tune, it pletely reversed the situation of the battle.
The land was entirely barren, with nothing visible but dust; a ten-mile radius had been pletely leveled.
This was still due to the mutual cancellation of light and darkness after their confrontation.
The Black Dragon Ye Xingxu glared at Ye Yinzhu with those ferocious red eyes.
Of course, he knew he lost to the Silver Dragon Li Sha because of this young Divine Music Master.
He had thought that by casting the Forbidden Curse, he could not only temporarily push back Li Sha but also take advantage of the curse’s enveloping range to severely injure Zi and seize the opportunity to escape, even possibly capturing Ye Yinzhu.
But it was that zither music that pletely thwarted his plans.
Of course, Ye Xingxu’s gaze didn’t linger on Ye Yinzhu for too long, as that gigantic amethyst figure was already charging in his direction.
Zi’s pace wasn’t rapid, but with his enormous stature of 25 meters tall, just a few strides were all it took to close the distance to just short of the Black Dragon Ye Xingxu.
The sensation of weakness resulting from the clash of forbidden curses left Ye Xingxu incapable of taking flight in time, and with no other choice, under the watchful eyes of the Silver Dragon Li Sha, he let out a forceful but powerless roar, spewing a breath at Zi.
Amidst its vast dimensions, the ball of corrosive light seemed insignificant in front of Zi’s monumental body.
The more than ten-meter-long Amethyst Great Sword didn’t even bother to defend against the Black Dragon’s breath; instead, it slashed directly through it.
The Black Dragon’s breath was posed of immense Dark Element energy and corrosiveness.
Yet, the glossy radiance of the Amethyst Great Sword seemed unimpacted, and amidst a grating sound of tearing, the breath shattered on contact.
The remaining black and purple miasma that swept past Zi’s body left him untainted.
It was then Ye Xingxu realized his mistake; even corrosive attacks couldn’t harm the sprawling monster before him.
Suddenly, a bolt of realization struck his mind and fear peaked within him.
With vigorous flaps of his mighty dragon wings, he attempted to evade Zi’s strike.
Would Zi give Ye Xingxu a chance?
Of course not.
Even if it were the Black Dragon and Silver Dragon, after releasing their powerful forbidden curses, they would have spent over seventy percent of their strength, critically impairing their senses.
Watching the Black Dragon attempting to flee, a cold light flashed in Zi’s eyes.
Without roaring like the Black Dragon, he merely watched his opponent coldly.
His gigantic body, standing 25 meters tall, launched like a cannonball, following Ye Xingxu’s massive form and swinging the Amethyst Great Sword in his hand.
A leaping slash, a simple and direct attack.
With the Amethyst Great Sword exceeding thirteen meters in length, plus Zi’s arm, a purple arc of light more than twenty meters long seemed to unfold the entire space around it.
On both sides of the arc, the air distorted; Ye Xingxu’s body made intimate contact with the Amethyst Great Sword before he could unleash his final dark energy.
A Dragon’s scales are extremely tough, rivaling Soul Devices in defense.
But before the Amethyst Great Sword, they appeared so fragile.
Shattering, the grating friction, the sounds of breaking bones, all mingled together in a cringe-inducing chorus.
Blood burst forth as the Amethyst Great Sword, weighing more than ten thousand catties, mercilessly chopped into the side of the Black Dragon’s neck; Zi’s entire body erupted with a blindingly bright purple light, like a purple sun flickering upon the earth.
All dark elements were instantly dispelled before the massive purple light, and Zi’s body passed by the Black Dragon, with his huge longsword already slashing out from the lower back of the Black Dragon.
In a single strike, just one strike, the rank Nine Black Dragon that had instilled fear in every inhabitant of the Ryuzakinus Continent was swiftly killed.
Ye Xingxu’s consciousness hadn’t even fully dissipated by then, as the giant dragon’s blood dyed the earth’s mud red.
His body, torn in two, was twitching and trembling in convulsions, the dragon’s tenacious life force slowly deserting him.
Zi lifted his left hand, and a strange scene emerged.
In the palm of his left hand, a group of purple brilliance ignited, and the Black Dragon’s blood—which had already seeped into the ground and was exuding from Ye Xingxu—began strangely converging towards his palm.
In the blink of an eye, it had solidified into a dark red clump of blood.
“Purple…
Crystal…
you are…
the…
Purple…
Crystal…
Behemoth…” These were the last words of Ye Xingxu’s life, spanning thousands of years.
The dark red dragon’s eyes finally dimmed and faded.
Upon hearing the four words “Amethyst Behemoth,” a strong intent to kill flared through Zi’s eyes.
Holding the condensed blood clump with a diameter of three meters, he suddenly turned around, facing the stunned Silver Dragon Li Sha.
Li Sha seemed not to see the murderous light in Zi’s eyes.
The Black Dragon’s sudden killing had left her mind blank, the despairing and fearful look in Ye Xingxu’s eyes before death repeatedly flashing through her mind.
“Amethyst Behemoth, Amethyst Behemoth, could it be, the one from legends, the foremost of the Beastman Clan’s four Ancient Divine Beasts, the natural emperor of the Beastmen, parable to the Giant Divine Dragon, the Amethyst Behemoth?”
“Indeed, you are correct.
Therefore, you must also die today.
Before I have fully grown, no member of the Dragon Clan can know of my whereabouts.” Zi’s voice, cold as ice, jolted Li Sha awake.
She saw that tremendously huge body, holding the Amethyst Great Sword diagonally pointed at the ground, step by step, the footfalls shaking the very earth, approaching her.
The same despair that had filled Ye Xingxu’s eyes also appeared in Li Sha’s purple dragon eyes.
She clearly understood that, with Zi’s speed of killing Ye Xingxu, there was no possibility for her to take flight, and with his dominance, there was no chance for her to cast a Forbidden Curse powerful enough to destroy him.
Moreover, her magical power was now only a third of what it was at her peak.
With Zi’s method of destroying the Black Dragon, she wouldn’t be given any chance at all.
The mountain-like strong body and the heavy sword flickering with a faint purple light exerted such pressure that Li Sha could barely breathe.
The solidified aura exerted massive pressure, the strong and supremely domineering presence even making the Silver Dragon lose any thought of resistance.
The Heavy Sword was being slowly lifted.
If the Black Dragon’s scales could not resist the Heavy Sword, how could the Silver Dragon possibly withstand it?
Just as the Amethyst Great Sword was about to descend, and another rank Nine Beast was on the verge of destruction following the Black Dragon, suddenly, a yellow figure appeared out of nowhere between Zi and the Silver Dragon.
The aloof Douqi full of vitality wrapped around his body, facing the twenty-five meter Amethyst Giant Beast; he was the only person present without a trace of fear.
“Wait a minute, Zi,” Ye Yinzhu raised his hands, gesturing a block in Zi’s direction.
Zi’s sword-holding hand froze in mid-air, and he spoke heavily, “Yin Zhu, I cannot heed your wish in this matter.
For the sake of my safety and the future I’ve awaited for many years, my identity cannot have the slightest flaw.
Aside from you, no outsider can know now.
If I let her go, I might soon bee the target of the Dragon Clan’s attack.
The grievances between me and the Dragon Clan are not for you to understand.
Step aside, brother.”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head, “I really don’t know what an Amethyst Behemoth is, nor do I understand your feud with the Dragon Clan.
But Li Sha is inherently not evil and has formed a soul attachment with me, give her a chance.
Of course, I will never allow your secret to be leaked, I have a way to make Li Sha forget everything she’s learned today.
The same goes for Sura.
I won’t let them remember you, nor will I let them remember what happened today.”
Zi hesitated for a moment, the cold killing intent in his eyes lessened by a few degrees, “Can you truly erase memories?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded, “Our Zhu Sect possesses a secret technique called the Nine Divine Needles Seal.
Using the Purple Bamboo Needle in conjunction with my spiritual power, I can selectively erase a person’s memory.
Of course, this is under the condition that the other party’s spiritual power cannot resist.
Otherwise, if their spiritual power exceeds mine, then I will suffer backlash.
I believe that Sura and Li Sha will be willing to undergo my Nine Divine Needles Seal.”
With that said, he sharply turned towards Li Sha, “That’s right, isn’t it, Li Sha?”
