281: Chapter 83 Transforming into a Phoenix Black Lily (Part 2)_1 281: Chapter 83 Transforming into a Phoenix Black Lily (Part 2)_1 As if by instinct, Ye Yinzhu raised the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither in his hands, as though to block the opponent’s narrow sword.
A cold look flashed through the attacker’s eyes, Can a wooden Ancient Zither really block my full-force piercing attack?
It’s no different from suicide.
Indeed, although the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither was an Artifact-rank Ancient Zither, its power lay in the sound it produced, and its material was still wood.
However, what the dark figure attacking Ye Yinzhu did not know was that by raising the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither, Ye Yinzhu’s intent was not suicide.
As the purple crystallization of his fallen rade scattered in the wind, the dark figure’s narrow sword reached Ye Yinzhu.
Even with the Ancient Zither in the way, he believed his strength was enough to pierce through it and directly hit Ye Yinzhu’s heart.
But in that instant, Ye Yinzhu made a move that surprised him greatly—letting go of the Cascade Pearl Beads Zither suddenly, allowing it to fall, and leaving his chest exposed to the narrow sword.
In that critical moment, no one could have thought or judged, not to mention that even if the brain could process thoughts, the body couldn’t have reacted.
After all, there were limits to human reactions.
Thus, the dark figure’s narrow sword, filled with piercing power and Advanced Blue rank Douqi, stabbed right at the position of Ye Yinzhu’s heart.
Indeed, he was a formidable assassin; the strike had no deviation.
But what he saw was Ye Yinzhu’s smile—a warm yet murderous smile.
The Cascade Pearl Beads Zither indeed couldn’t block his narrow sword.
That’s why Ye Yinzhu let go of it, letting it fall freely.
He did not retract it into his Space Ring because he did not want any elemental fluctuation to alert his opponent.
The smile in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes turned icy—he was about to show this dark figure that not all zithers were incapable of blocking that piercing narrow sword.
Ye Yinzhu’s hands were powerful, with those dexterous and magical hands able to make all notes dance on his fingertips.
However, his hands were not his strongest feature.
Ye Yinzhu’s spiritual power was strong, with his powerful Spiritual Imprint even including the soul of a rank Ten Amethyst Behemoth and a rank Ten Gold Armor Forbidden Insect, and even the soul attachment of a Silver Dragon.
But his Spiritual Imprint was not his strongest point either.
What was Ye Yinzhu’s strongest trait?
It was his heart, merged with a Super Divine Artefact.
Not even Guti, who could use Thor’s Hammer, could merge his body with Thor’s Hammer.
But Ye Yinzhu had done it.
Therefore, although he could not use the God-rank Desolate Dragon Chant Zither, his heart was on par with this Super Divine Artefact.
The dignity of a Super Divine Artefact could not be violated.
The black narrow sword pierced Ye Yinzhu’s heart, touched his skin.
More precisely, it hit the tattoo on the position of his heart.
The next instant, a dazzling rainbow light burst forth from the position of Ye Yinzhu’s heart.
The assassin cloaked in darkness couldn’t describe what he felt as his narrow sword seemed to hit the hardest substance in the world.
A rebound force, twice as strong as the force he had used to stab, instantly caused his right arm to shatter inch by inch, and the narrow sword turned to ash within that splendid rainbow light.
A milky light, gentle and ethereal, emerged as the black sword vanished.
Likewise, a narrow sword, but infused with a soft aura, glided lightly and precisely through the heart of the black sword wielder.
Ye Yinzhu’s toes lightly captured his falling Cascade Pearl Beads Zither.
The transformations occurred almost instantly.
From the time Ye Yinzhu was summoned to fight, until two Advanced Blue rank assassins met their demise—it all happened within the span of a few breaths.
When Aetoa arrived with the two other dark figures, all they saw was the scattered purple crystalline dust and their rade’s blood slowly dripping from the Sword of Nox.
Aetoa was furious, his wicked soul seemed to be ablaze, and he realized that he had underestimated the strength of these two individuals before him.
If he had gone all out from the start, his two panions would not have died.
No one knew better than he did what those two dark shadows represented.
Even a minor injury to them was something he could not afford to be responsible for!
Only Aetoa knew best that among the five on his side, the weakest was actually himself, the leader.
Anger gave rise to madness, “Phoenix—Body—” Aetoa was furious, overwhelmed with rage yet not losing his reason.
With a roar, his lunging body suddenly came to a halt, and it was at this moment that the shadows by his side began to transform.
Streams of black mist, taking the form of ribbons, spread out from behind them, quickly expanding to a length of ten meters, blocking the entire road as if numerous thick tentacles were waving behind them.
Everything about them, including their Douqi, turned into the purest black at this moment.
The prolonged and pleasant chanting was like the call of the Hundred Spirit Bird, bringing a heavenly beauty to the listeners.
Yet within this beauty was filled with an aura of killing intent and deathly silence.
Facing the sudden shift before them, Zi, who was preparing to face the enemy, was taken aback, and Ye Yinzhu, supporting himself with the Sword of Nox behind him, was also stunned.
The scene before them was all too familiar, especially the chant that resembled the call of the Hundred Spirit Bird, which shocked them to their core.
Why?
Why would such chanting appear here?
Ye Yinzhu’s mind was filled with a massive question mark.
And at that moment, the black ribbons of energy released from the two dark figures instantly solidified, and enormous wings unfolded from behind them, all signs of life vanishing at that moment.
Their bodies were pletely enveloped in that black energy, and two streams of black air that covered the entire street rolled in like dark clouds, sweeping toward Ye Yinzhu and Zi in an instant.
At that moment, they clearly felt that the power of those two figures had transcended the limits of Advanced Blue rank.
Sura.
This name flashed through Zi and Ye Yinzhu’s minds at the same time.
The capabilities demonstrated by these two figures now, weren’t they the same as Sura’s final burst of power when facing Glacis?
Except when they manifested those pair of black wings, they didn’t seem to have increased their strength as much as Sura had.
“Phoenix Body,” the words Aetoa yelled out just now, the black phoenix body, does it mean the transformation into a Black Phoenix?
Could these attacking shadows be not humans but the legendary Magic Beast Phoenixes?
But aren’t there only Fire Phoenixes in the legends?
How could there be a Black Phoenix?
“Zi!” Ye Yinzhu shouted.
There was no time for pondering now; facing this abruptly aggressive attack, Zi might be able to withstand it, but at this moment, Ye Yinzhu could only be devoured by the darkness unless he used the Life Guardian.
Ye Yinzhu vanished first, his body transported back to the location where he was when Zi summoned him under the effect of the equally bound life-contract, which was where Aetoa had attacked him before.
The next moment, Ye Yinzhu immediately summoned in reverse, pulling Zi to his side before the two figures could devour him, narrowly avoiding the overpowering attack.
The stone houses on both sides of the street, along with the entire street, approximately fifty meters wide and two hundred meters long, disappeared in an instant.
Not a sound was made, they vanished in silent nothingness.
Ye Yinzhu at this time had no strength left, but Zi did.
He was the Amethyst Behemoth, the mightiest of the Four Ancient Beastman Divine Beasts!
Faced with the enemy’s assault, he only demonstrated dominance.
Even when confronting the charge of a War Behemoth, he would stand firm against it head-on, let alone the enemy before him.
Thus, as the two black figures lunged forward, Zi also charged out, rushing from their behind.
Zi’s purple eyes filled with intense murderous intent.
He had always held a strong revulsion towards humans like Aetoa, and now, being obstructed here, only fueled his desire to kill to the extreme.
As his body surged forward, a layer of purple radiance emerged behind him.
Ye Yinzhu could vaguely discern that it was the shadow of Zi’s reduced true form.
The moment this purple light appeared, Zi’s aura became even more powerful.
The surging purple glow immediately shrouded the area within dozens of meters.
His firm hands spread open and reached straight for Aetoa.
From Aetoa’s position, one could only see the two colossal shadows lunging towards Ye Yinzhu and Zi but not realize they had already moved to their rear.
When he felt an immense pressure ing from behind, he found himself enveloped in a purple light.
Everything around seemed to freeze, the air turning into countless purple crystals, and an overwhelming squeezing force made it difficult for Aetoa to breathe.
His Advanced Blue rank Douqi pushed to the extreme; his body twisted at extreme speed, and the black narrow sword thrust from the trickiest angle.
Zi didn’t dodge, not even hinting at the notion of dodging.
His hand, covered with a purple crystalline layer, directly grabbed the narrow poisonous sword.
Aetoa felt as if his sword had been cast in iron copper, unable to advance even a fraction more and likewise unable to retract it.
A ding sound was heard as the narrow sword snapped in two, and then, he saw Zi’s cold and cruel eyes.
A powerful crushing force instantly came from every direction, an absolute force, an irresistible force.
In the next moment, like the shadow he brought with him, Aetoa became a purple crystal sculpture.
