In stark contrast to the “Ambush”, they perfectly represented the clang of weapons, like the clashing of spears and shields on a battlefield, immersing the listener in a world of swordplay and spear fights.
As these conflicts intensified, the mood and atmosphere were heavy with the sentiment that small local fights would escalate into a full-blown war.
The climax of the “Ten-Sided Ambush” had begun.
Loud banging noises began to erupt from within the sacred land of the Dragon Clan.
The Dragon Bones possessed formidable defenses, the ongoing chaos had yet to bring significant damage.
However, the pandemonium was spreading like a plague, reaching deeper quarters, with an air of fear and madness permeating continuously.
The climax began with the short yet powerful clash of notes escalating to another level, “interweaving”, “rolling melody”, “sweeping spin”, the three main techniques from the Zither Sect flashing out one after another.
The rhythm of the Zither notes became unprecedentedly rich and varied, laying out clearly and vividly the magnificent tableau of a grand battle.
Among the grand melody, there were a few strands of desolation thrown in, stimulating the last lines of defense in the hearts of the Dragon Bones.
The Dragon Bones were stirred, the Dragon Domain, the sacred land of the Dragon Clan, was stirred as well.
The air once again became stagnant, but this time, it was enveloped by an atmosphere of insanity and massacre.
Under multiple stimulations and influenced by the Nine-needle Stimulating Divine Technique, Ye Yinzhu, with the strength of Third Rank Bravery Qinxin Sword, played “Ambush from Ten Sides” for the first time.
Although he was far from achieving the tune’s highest power, it turned out to be the dirge of destruction for the Dragon Bones in the dragon’s tomb, unexpectedly.
“No——” a roar of anger sounded, in the center of the Dragon Domain, a mass of thick, milky light swept out wildly, attempting to separate the battling Dragon Bones.
However, although the milky light was powerful, it was not enough to affect all Dragon Bones.
As the highest peak of the “Ambush from Ten Sides” song started unfolding, the emotional state of the Dragon Bones spiraled pletely out of control.
The Zither’s tune changed.
“Sliding double strings”, “plucking”, “rocking fingers”, “continuous roll”, “continuous spin”, and many more techniques began appearing under Ye Yinzhu’s shadowy eight fingers.
The Zither playing transformed into the sound of war cries, creating an atmosphere as if one were amidst a scene of “a million valiant soldiers, a battlefield dominated by cavalries”, adding to the escalating madness, pushing “Ambush from Ten Sides” to the pinnacle of its crescendo.
A trace of coldness appeared at the corner of Ye Yinzhu’s mouth.
He had not anticipated that the “Ambush from Ten Sides” could create such a grand effect.
Some Dragon Bones had already begun to be destroyed, the formidable bones colliding with each other, initiating signs of a potential collapse.
However, at this point, Ye Yinzhu’s spiritual power was teetering on the brink of exhaustion.
Only now did he realize that “Ambush from Ten Sides” demanded a great deal of spiritual power.
Even though the Nine-needle Stimulating Divine Technique elevated his spiritual power by three ranks, reaching the level of a Sixth Rank Bravery Qinxin Sword, he had already reached his limit.
The corner of his mouth filled with the taste of satisfaction, the feelings of anger and hatred in his heart gradually fading away with the tune of the Zither.
Exchanging his own life for the demise of all the Dragon Bones in the Dragon Domain, the holy land of the Dragon Clan, was undeniably worth it.
At this moment, the Dragon Bones had entered total madness; there was no need to play “Ambush from Ten Sides” a second time.
In Ye Yinzhu’s outstretched eight fingers, an unprecedented sense of pain surged through him.
His mental exhaustion led to a dullness creeping into his mind, his hands, though moving in rhythm with the wild music, were starting to slow.
In the end, he was unable to finish the godly tune.
Suddenly, the earlier milky light that had erupted from the center of the Dragon Domain no longer attempted to break up the surrounding Dragon Bones.
Instead, the light beam streaked into the sky, filled with numerous silver stars, illuminating the gloomy Dragon Domain significantly.
The direction of the light beam was towards the solitary silver-purple full moon hanging in the sky.
Huge energy fluctuations appeared, causing an intense disturbance.
Under the effect of the milky white energy, the full moon began to change.
The silver-purple light was slowly retracting, causing the moon’s spherical shape to shrink down.
The battles of the Dragon Bones continued, the silver-purple full moon was shrinking more intensely, but the milky light pillar shooting into the sky started to weaken, as though the retraction of the full moon exhausted a great deal of its power.
A somewhat stunned elderly voice echoed in the sky, “No, it cannot be.
The sacred land of the Dragon Clan cannot perish just like this.
I will not allow it.”
This was the last thing Ye Yinzhu heard.
Despite wanting to hang on, to witness the final fate of the Dragon Bones, his drastic over-exertion didn’t allow him to persevere.
His spiritual power collapsed instantly, causing the nine Zi Zhu Magic Needles to spring out from his head.
He held the Cascade Beads Zither, collapsing onto the illusory abyss.
…
After an unknown period, when Ye Yinzhu regained consciousness, all he felt was a splitting headache, not just that, his hands throbbed with a pricking pain too.
Am I not dead yet?
This was his first thought upon regaining consciousness.
The spiritual power and Douqi in his body were nearly exhausted, his body severely weakened, but the faint sound of his heartbeat told him, he was still alive.
From his wrist, a stream of life force continually flowed into his body through his veins, nourishing his body.
The chilling sensation in his chest stimulated the severe pain in his brain, not allowing him to collapse.
Lying there, Ye Yinzhu could only see the sky.
The earlier events were continually replaying in his mind.
Still within the Dragon Domain, not dead.
The silver-purple moon hanging high up in the sky was still there, only, it had reverted back to being a crescent moon.
The silver and purple light softly diffused.
If he hasn’t died, what happened to those Dragon Bones?
And who was that elderly voice, or rather, which of the Dragon Bones was that?
Right, in this illusory abyss, they couldn’t cross the restriction within the Dragon Domain.
Therefore, he was still alive.
Being alive is always a good thing.
Desperately pulling out some star fragments given to him by Xing Can from his space ring, Ye Yinzhu stuffed them into his mouth, keenly feeling the juice of the fruit gradually seeping into his body, gradually restoring his strength bit by bit.
“Human, are you awake?” The same old voice that had spoken to Ye Yinzhu before he fainted echoed once again.
pared to before, its tone seemed much more gentle.
“I know you wish me dead.
Unfortunately, I’m still alive.
Too bad that your bone dragons didn’t bee extinct,” Ye Yinzhu responded coldly.
“Human, what method did you use?
Was it that strange zither sound?
I finally understand why the Silver Dragon King allowed you to e here, even though your strength is insufficient,” said the old voice.
Ye Yinzhu let out a cold snort, but he didn’t answer.
After a moment of silence, the elderly voice said, “Human, once you’ve recovered your strength, e to me.”
Ye Yinzhu coldly replied, “Are you asking me to mit suicide?
I won’t go.
Before I die, I will play ‘Ten-Sided Ambush’ again and pull more down with me.”
“No, you misunderstand.
I am inviting you to e to me because you have earned my approval, or rather, the Dragon Domain’s approval.”
“Huh?” Ye Yinzhu was startled.
A hint of disdain showed on the corner of his mouth.
“Earned approval?
Since my actions have brought about the death of so many bone dragons, can I really earn your approval?
Are you joking?
Or do you consider me a fool?
If you want to lure me there to kill me, you could at least e up with a better reason.”
A low sigh echoed throughout the Dragon Domain, “As a noble member of the Dragon Clan, I do not tell lies.
Although you didn’t gain my approval by conventional means, it is a fact.
I have no reason to deceive you.
If it weren’t for me, you would have died here sooner or later.
Moreover, you no longer need to play that zither tune; your aim has been achieved.
I never thought that a weak human like you could actually bring destruction upon the Dragon Domain.
After countless years, could this be the beginning of our Dragon Clan’s calamity?”
Listening to his words, Ye Yinzhu had some doubts.
His strength had recovered somewhat, enabling him to sit upright and survey the Dragon Domain.
Just like when he had first arrived, the Dragon Clan’s skeletons lay calmly within the Dragon Domain.
Although some had been shattered in the previous mad slaughter, most of the bone dragons were still intact.
“You still claim you’re not tricking me.
The effect of ‘Ten-Sided Ambush’ has ceased.
Aren’t these bone dragons still fine?”
“No, you are mistaken.
Although your zither tune has ended, the souls of the Dragon Clan have been deeply stirred.
When they awaken again, the slaughter will continue until they are dead.”
Ye Yinzhu sneered, “I never imagined my zither tune would have such an effect.”
“You came here solely to gain the Dragon Domain’s approval and bee a foreign Dragon Clan member, in other words, to bee part of the Dragon Clan.
Thus, your motive is not to destroy this place.
If I grant you the approval of the Dragon Domain, I hope you will resolve the current crisis facing the Dragon Clan.
Such an equal exchange benefits both you and the Dragon Clan.”
Hearing his words, Ye Yinzhu had a thought.
It was clear that this old dragon hiding in the depths of the Dragon Domain needed something from him, so there could be some truth in his words.
“Are you sure I can help these bone dragons regain their calm?”
“I am not certain, but this is our only chance.
I cannot stand by and watch the Dragon Clan’s Holy Land be destroyed.
e to me, my time is running out.”
Ye Yinzhu spoke softly, “What makes you believe that I should trust you?”
The old voice sounded somewhat angry, “Because of my name, Nox.”
Ye Yinzhu snorted coldly, “In my eyes, all of you dragons are the same.
Nox?
Never heard of it.” After, this ordeal, his will had matured significantly, making earning his trust, especially the trust of the Dragon Clan, no easy task.
