341: Chapter 103 prehensive Strength Defeats Silver Dragon (Part 1) 341: Chapter 103 prehensive Strength Defeats Silver Dragon (Part 1) Just as Li Sha was about to burst out of the room, suddenly, Ye Yinzhu’s attack stopped.
Just when Li Sha thought Ye Yinzhu had exhausted his abilities, a terrifying and overwhelming pressure descended from the sky.
It was a formidable force that even made Li Sha feel a chill.
In just a brief moment, the Six-Elements Breadth Solidification she had released instantly shattered, and even the magic she had cast was reduced by thirty percent in strength.
Li Sha was shocked.
She clearly saw Ye Yinzhu lunge forward, and in a flash, his upper body created seven or eight shadows rushing towards her.
That terrifying pressure felt vaguely familiar, yet she couldn’t determine its source.
How could he have bee so strong?
Just as this thought arose in Li Sha’s mind, a frigid breath had already quietly approached.
The magic shield she had hastily formed in front of her broke into pieces, and a milky-white light, smooth like lightning, entered from the most cunning angle.
With an indescribable elegance, the cold had already touched Li Sha’s throat.
All the light and illusions disappeared, and Ye Yinzhu’s left hand still cradled the Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither, while in his right hand, the narrow sword rested against Li Sha’s throat, “Is this what you wanted?” Ye Yinzhu asked coldly.
Li Sha’s skin on her neck trembled at the touch of that unique chill; she fearfully discovered that her body’s magic power and tough skin seemed defenseless against the milky-white rapier—as if the rapier’s sharpness could take away her proud Silver Dragon life at any moment.
“You…” Li Sha was at a loss for words.
How much time had passed?
Half a year?
It seemed like less than that, but why had everything changed so much?
Was it because he became a Foreign Silver Dragon that he now possessed such immense strength?
No, that was impossible.
His progress couldn’t be described as a mere leap.
What was even harder for Li Sha to accept was that she could clearly feel that Ye Yinzhu’s overall strength was far inferior to her own; he definitely wasn’t a Zi rank yet, but she was already an adult Silver Dragon close to the Fifth Rank Zi rank!
Why was this happening?
Was it because of his Ancient Zither?
Or was it that narrow sword in his hands?
Or perhaps the fear caused by all of this put together?
In a flash of white light, the Sword of Nox transformed back into the Dragon Soul Ring.
Ye Yinzhu didn’t give Li Sha a chance to sense the aura of the Sword of Nox.
He also believed that Li Sha, who had just bee an adult, couldn’t recognize the breath of a Giant Divine Dragon.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, it was actually just a few brief moments.
But in those few moments, Ye Yinzhu had given his all.
Indeed, his strength was inferior to Li Sha’s.
The reason he won was a qualitative change caused by the convergence of various factors.
Firstly, as a Foreign Silver Dragon, Ye Yinzhu wasn’t affected by Li Sha’s strong Six-Elements magical pressure and didn’t face any restrictions.
Secondly, the restructured Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither naturally had a certain restraining effect on Li Sha—or rather, on all the Dragon Clan.
With this soulless Divine Artifact Ancient Zither, and relying on the seven strings endowed with the Magic Elements of the Seven Dragon Kings, Ye Yinzhu forcibly suppressed Li Sha’s ability to fight.
Finally, he took the opportunity when Li Sha was eager to escape the pressure to launch a sudden strike with the Arrogant Bamboo Swordsmanship.
Using the marvelous martial skills of the Eastern Dragon Empire, he won with one swift attack.
The Sword of Nox was made from the horn of a Giant Divine Dragon, possessing not only the sharpness of a Divine Artifact but also the aura of a Giant Divine Dragon, pletely ignoring the Silver Dragon’s magical defense and physical defense.
Of course, the key to victory was the Amethyst Behemoth’s pressuring power that Ye Yinzhu released instantly during the transition from magic to martial skill attacks.
After obtaining the true amethyst bloodline, Ye Yinzhu not only had an increase in physical abilities but also gained a lot of the Amethyst Behemoth’s strength, which simply needed to be gradually unleashed as his own power was not enough yet.
With all these abilities bined, surprise was the key to success.
Ye Yinzhu was able to achieve a triumphant victory over the rank Nine Silver Dragon before him.
Not only was Li Sha astonished, but even Ye Yinzhu himself was extremely satisfied with the smoothness of his earlier assault.
“Li Sha, I consider you a friend, and I hope you won’t make trouble for me again.
Otherwise, I won’t be polite next time,” Ye Yinzhu said, turning and walking towards the outside.
The anger in his heart finally found release, and he felt much relieved.
“When did you bee so strong?” Li Sha asked with some difficulty.
She didn’t attack Ye Yinzhu again.
The enormous pressure from earlier still hadn’t fully left her.
Ye Yinzhu didn’t answer Li Sha’s question.
“Tonight, you sleep on the couch.”
Li Sha pouted, saying, “But I’m a girl.
Can’t you give in a bit?”
Ye Yinzhu was taken aback; he had never seen Li Sha show such a girlish demeanor before.
He gave a wry smile and said, “Go easy on you?
You are a powerful member of the Dragon Clan, and I’m just an ordinary human.
Well, if you want to sleep, then you can have the bed.”
Ye Yinzhu did possess the manners of a gentleman and would rather face the strong-willed Silver Dragon Princess than Li Sha’s somewhat aggrieved and pitiable pleading.
Perhaps this was the so-called tactic of yielding to softness rather than hardness.
“Yin Zhu, actually, by helping you win today’s petition, I was also trying to save you some time.
You should know how important the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons Ranking Battle is to both Silver Dragon City and the Milan Empire.
Since you don’t need to hunt for Magical Beasts, we should meet up with the five hundred Milanese as soon as possible.
Better coordination will allow us to achieve final victory.
After all, we don’t know what kind of strength the other six Dragon Cities and their allied countries will show in this ranking battle.”
Listening to Li Sha’s somewhat tender explanation, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t deny that from her perspective, she hadn’t done anything wrong.
He sighed helplessly and said, “Alright then.
I’m barely scraping by at the academy anyway.
It might be better to meet up with the Milan Empire’s army sooner rather than later.
I hope my classmates at the academy will have forgotten about the recent events by the time I return.”
Li Sha caressed the spot on her neck that had previously been stimulated and slowly walked to Ye Yinzhu’s side.
“Yin Zhu, do you know, I am very happy to see you bee strong.
Grandfather was not wrong, you indeed possess the strength to help our Silver Dragon Clan win.”
Ye Yinzhu suddenly felt a sense of amusement in his heart because he realized that when facing the gentle Li Sha, he felt more at ease than when facing the cold Li Sha.
“When Sura returns, I’ll let him know and then we can leave.
It looks like I’ll have to ask for leave again.” He hesitated for a moment, deciding not to say goodbye to Nina and Fergerson; once he joined the five hundred elite troops of the Milan Empire, Silvio would naturally relay his participation in the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons Ranking Battle.
Looking out the window at the lush greenery, Ye Yinzhu suddenly missed his life in the expanse of the blue sky and sea.
How simple life had been then – apart from playing the zither and cultivating, there was no need to think about anything else.
But now?
After entering the world of Ryuzakinus and learning and shouldering so much, it was already impossible to escape from it all.
There were so many things waiting to be done.
When could he return to tranquility?
He didn’t know; all he could do for now was to make himself and his power stronger to better acplish what he wanted to do.
Looking at Ye Yinzhu’s silhouette, Li Sha suddenly realized that he seemed lonely—a loneliness concealed behind his grace.
“Yin Zhu, can you play the zither for me?” she asked.
Ye Yinzhu, still with his back to Li Sha, raised the Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither in his hand.
“Do you want to hear it played?”
“No, of course not.
I, I want to hear you play ‘Falling City’.” Ye Yinzhu was slightly taken aback; when he slowly turned around, he was surprised to find a blush on Li Sha’s lovely face, and her eyes had bee somewhat hazy.
“I will never forget that time when I followed you into the wilderness, in the embrace of nature, you played ‘Falling City,’ and the lyrics you sang.” For some reason, Li Sha blurted these words out at that moment, but the images that suddenly emerged in her mind caused her heart to tremble.
The green grass, the embrace of nature, the elegant white figure, and the enchanting melody of the zither and song were all deeply etched in her memory.
The initial wager had been lost, certainly due to Ye Yinzhu’s surprise victory, but wasn’t it also because of Li Sha’s unsettled feelings under the influence of ‘Falling City’?
Putting away the Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither, Ye Yinzhu did not refuse Li Sha’s request; he suddenly felt that there was a kind of sadness in her heart, not loneliness, but solitude.
Considering her monotonous life of a thousand years in Silver Dragon City, Ye Yinzhu’s heart no longer held any trace of anger.
He brought out the Nine Heavens Ring Zither, simply tuned and aligned the strings, and with both hands, his eight fingers plucked and stroked in unison, producing crisp and lingering zither music.
Such a soulfully wistful melody was truly moving, and at this moment, Li Sha seemed to return to that first time she heard Ye Yinzhu play the zither.
Instinctively, she began to softly sing, “There is a beauty in the North, peerless and independent.
A smile from her can topple cities, another smile can topple nations.
Is it not known whether she would decide the fate of cities and nations?
Such a beauty is indeed rare.”
As the music and singing ended, Ye Yinzhu silently observed Li Sha, who then sat there motionless, as if she was feeling something profound or contemplating deeply.
