180: Chapter 49: Dragon Domain (Lower)_1 180: Chapter 49: Dragon Domain (Lower)_1 Humming——both hands with eight fingers plucked in unison, the rhythm of the seven strings of the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither flowed.
A stream of pure yellow Sound Blades, carrying intense vibrations, burst forth.
Under Ye Yinzhu’s deliberate control, it sliced onto the dragon bones, creating a crackling noise.
Due to his anger, Ye Yinzhu’s fingers trembled slightly, but it was precisely this trembling that caused an essential change in the Sound Blades.
His previous thought was pletely correct.
When the Sound Blades were launched, they naturally produced intense vibrations, and maintaining high-frequency vibrations was the trick to maintaining the power of the Sound Blades.
At this moment, Ye Yinzhu achieved it.
As the Zhu Douqi was ready to be released, it trembled along with his heart, inflamed by anger.
When this trembling perfectly bined with the vibrating zither strings, the Sound Blades underwent a qualitative shift.
These Dragon Bones appeared incapable of making sounds, but from their intense actions, it was clear that they could sense these high-frequency Sound Blades.
The ghostly white skeletal bodies bore a multitude of shallow scars.
Despite his breakthrough, Ye Yinzhu felt no excitement.
The qualitative change of the Sound Blades was not enough to dissolve the crisis before his eyes, and even less capable of releasing his pent-up fury.
He raised his right hand; nine purple lights emerged from his calf, pulsing with vibrant and cold radiance.
With the up and down motion of Ye Yinzhu’s right hand three times, nine long needles rhythmically entered his head.
The intense pain caused his body to convulse violently, and the yellow Magic Power radiating from his body momentarily fluctuated unstably, but its color continued to deepen.
At this time, Ye Yinzhu wasn’t thinking about whether he could survive and leave this place; he only wanted to vent, to let out all the anger in his heart.
Hence, he directly used the Nine-needle Stimulating Divine Technique, which greatly boosted his power in a short time but had huge side effects.
The last time he used Nine-needle Stimulating Divine Technique was due to Li Sha’s coercion.
That time, he had to divert a portion of his spiritual power to maintain his defense.
But now, since these Dragon Bones couldn’t leave the Dragon Domain, he could focus his entire spiritual power on his performance.
Time was precious, and Ye Yinzhu didn’t delay.
His hands were already on the zither strings.
Under the effect of the Nine-needle Stimulating Divine Technique, Ye Yinzhu’s handsome face was devoid of any expression, being icy cold.
His spiritual power, under intense stimulation, ascended to another level.
The deep yellow radiance gradually became regular, and his black hair automatically moved without wind.
In the absence of elegance, all that he could feel right now was the intense killing intent.
Hum——Hum——Hum——Hum——
Ye Yinzhu’s hands simultaneously plucked the seven zither strings.
With each pluck came a series of resonating hums from the strings.
The plucking of the eight fingers continuously sped up, and the sound of deep humming gradually grew louder.
In his extreme anger, Ye Yinzhu chose a zither song he had never played with his spiritual power used as Zither Magic.
It was also the piece he had mastered the least among the Nine Great Songs of the Zither Sect.
“Ambush from Ten Sides,” one of the three sacred songs among the Nine Great Songs of the Zither Sect, Effect: Slaughter, Madness.
As one of the three sacred songs, the effect of “Ambush from Ten Sides” is even above “High Mountain Flowing Water.” It was initially played on a Pipa, and after continuous improvements by the ancestors of the Zither Sect, it was later applied to the Ancient Zither.
When he practiced this zither song in the past without using spiritual power, Ye Yinzhu had pletely mastered its secrets.
However, every time he infused the song with his spiritual power, he was utterly unable to merge the emotions into the song.
Now in his extreme anger, he was already disregarding all else, stimulating himself with the Nine-needle Stimulating Divine Technique and forcing the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither to perform this most potent song of slaughter.
Hum Hum Hum Hum Hum Hum Hum——the humming speed kept increasing.
It was the first part of “Ambush from Ten Sides,” Encampment.
Using the “Half Whisk Wheel” technique, from slow to fast, continuously non-stop, it immediately transported people to the open fields and the prelude of war with camp fortifications.
The rhythm was free, and the intensity kept increasing.
As the main plucking hand, his right hand sank in relaxation, giving the zither song the momentum of a battlefield, tightening the tension, making people hold their breath, seemingly entering a magnificent war scene.
An icy cold killing intent shimmered in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, with all his power, the zither sound took a semicircular path towards the Dragon Bones.
The violent Dragon Bones gradually calmed down in the accelerating hums, yet their dragon eyes kept staring in Ye Yinzhu’s direction.
Qin Shang once told Ye Yinzhu that he could not use this song because his heart was too pure, and he couldn’t grasp its intent for murder.
It would only be possible to unleash the power of “Ten-Sided Ambush” once he reached the Ziwei Qixin Realm.
However, the present Ye Yinzhu was brimming with the will to kill and wrath which resonated with the song’s intent.
The previous issue of his emotions failing to meld did not surface.
The melody changed abruptly.
The humming sound ceased suddenly as Ye Yinzhu’s right index finger picked the string heavily, producing a loud sound like the tearing of silk.
The luminescence in the eyes of the Dragon Bones seemed to tremble with the sudden change in the music.
Following that, the tempo of the song sped up yet again, and Ye Yinzhu’s hands moved like a mirage over the string, and the formerly somber melody became suddenly intense.
His fingers deployed the successive techniques of ‘Long Wheel,’ ‘Hook Wheel,’ and ‘Whisk Wheel,’ which pushed the melody from the first phase of ‘Formation’ to the second, ‘Blow and Strike.’
The melody radiated a steadfastness and majesty within its intensity, as if countless armies were advancing, from all directions, against the Dragon Bones in an enormous tide.
When the melody reached this point, the Dragon Bones began to show agitation, particularly those with weaker spiritual powers.
They began to move restlessly, a clear indication of unease.
At this moment, the melody changed again.
The formerly extended, steady, and solemn tune became soft and delicate.
His left hand rapidly pressed the strings while his right hand crumbled the notes into four beats with a unique technique called ‘Phoenix Nods.’ This repetitive effect pushed the song continuously forward, marking the beginning of the third phase of “Ten-Sided Ambush” — ‘Appointing the Generals.’
By this point, Ye Yinzhu had immersed himself pletely in the intent of the song.
His desire for destruction and anger were gradually being expressed within the melody, and the crisp and intense sound of the Cascade Pearl Zither was being more and more domineering.
Zither Magic mainly caused resonation within the enemy’s mind.
If they were to physically attack the Dragon Bones before him, they could crush any opponent on the Ryuzakinus Continent.
Regular magic also couldn’t threaten them, and even Spiritual Magic could not affect such a large number of Dragon Bones due to their massive spiritual power.
However, the Dragon Bones were now facing Ye Yinzhu, a prodigious Divine Music Master.
Zither Magic did not directly attack the opponent; instead, it triggered a resonance within their minds.
If the opponent had been a giant dragon with a strong enough spirit, his Zither Magic wouldn’t have had much effect.
But the Dragon Bones were different.
All their abilities were reduced to half of what they were in their lifetime, except for their souls.
In this Dragon Clan Cemetery, their spirits often remained detached, only returning to their bodies when the silvery-purple moon was full in the sky.
They no longer belonged to the realm of living beings; only fragments of their former memories remained.
Although their spiritual powers were immense, they were also chaotic.
At this moment, under the influence of Ye Yinzhu’s “Ten-Sided Ambush”, their fragmented memories began to suffer intense shocks.
The Dragon Clan, the most formidable creature on the Continent, had lived for tens of thousands of years.
Who among them hadn’t experienced war?
At this moment, the grand scenes of war seemed to be reappearing deep within their souls.
Countless enemies seemed to be closing in on them from all directions.
The dignity of the Dragon Clan was not to be violated.
The emotions of the Dragon Bones started to surge, and soulful roars filled with disturbance and anger were let out.
Some Dragon Bones had already begun fighting with the members of their clan, venting their indignation.
The tempo of “Ten-Sided Ambush” began to accelerate more and more, being increasingly clear.
After ‘Appointing the Generals,’ it moved into the twin phases of ‘Setting Up’ and ‘Marching.’ Under the influence of the music, the air seemed to grow heavy.
An enormous pressure was being exerted on the Dragon Bones as Ye Yinzhu released his deep yellow Magic Power.
Of course, this Magic Power wouldn’t be considered too significant for the Dragon Bones.
However, its role was merely to ignite a fuse.
Suddenly, the tense atmosphere lightened.
It seemed as if all the enemies that had lined up had disappeared.
But before the Dragon Bones could relax, faint clear sounds began to resonate deep within their souls.
The sound gradually slowed, light but persistent, as though the marching enemy armies had silenced their drums and were advancing quietly.
Although the melody was no longer as stirring as before, it now perfectly captured the silence and tension unique to the eve of a major battle.
It was the penultimate phase of the song, ‘Ambush.’
Roaring, a Dragon Bone, whose Soul Fire was the color of wind attribute green, was the first that could endure no more.
It charged forth frenziedly, colliding with a neighboring Dragon Bone of Darkness.
The sound of a massive skeletal collision echoed, and the dark Dragon Bone, which was considerably stronger, reduced the wind attribute Dragon Bone to a pile of scattered bones.
This seemed to ignite the final spark.
Unprecedentedly, every Dragon Bone’s Soul Fire flared up, and the mighty Dragon Bones began to wildly attack their panions surrounding them.
