86: Chapter 22 The Battle of Zither and Painting (Part 2)_1 86: Chapter 22 The Battle of Zither and Painting (Part 2)_1 The duel between Zither Sect and Hua Sect?
Ye Yinzhu suddenly remembered what Ma Liang had said before the petition.
Taking a deep breath, he didn’t continue to chase but instead sat down where he was, facing in Ma Liang’s direction.
If it was a duel between Zither Sect and Hua Sect, then he shouldn’t use the martial skills of Zhu Sect.
With Haiyue Qinhui perched across his legs, Ye Yinzhu’s hands lightly stroked the strings, and a series of seven Explosive Reverberates sounded in unison.
For an average Divine Music Master, it would be hard to convey sound with maximum power across such an open field to the opponent’s ears over a distance of five hundred meters.
However, for Ye Yinzhu, who could play the strings with Douqi, this was not an issue at all.
The seven consecutive Explosive Reverberates resounded like seven thunderclaps next to Ma Liang’s ear, his plexion drastically changing as his hands slowed down.
However, due to Ye Yinzhu’s recent mistake, Ma Liang had pleted his second painting by this time.
Amidst the intense roaring, a massive body obscured Ye Yinzhu’s view.
Its powerful physique, formidable aura, thick scales, and the crystal-like giant horns on its head all informed Ye Yinzhu of its identity.
A Golden Crystal Rage Dragon.
The same type of Golden Crystal Rage Dragon that was Austin’s mount.
The Golden Crystal Rage Dragon summoned by Ma Liang was clearly much smaller than Austin’s, and not a Golden Crystal Tyrant Dragon, but even so, this Golden Crystal Rage Dragon possessed the prowess of a Peak rank Five Beast.
Its huge body, upon its appearance, dashed towards Ye Yinzhu with incredible speed and didn’t appear clumsy in the slightest.
Its blood-red eyes and almost crazed breath fully displayed its tyrannical nature.
The golden dragon’s body glistened under the sunlight, and at least on the surface, the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon seemed more ferocious than Nesta’s Red Dragon.
After summoning the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon, Ma Liang’s face turned somewhat pale.
Summoning a Peak rank Five Beast drained a significant amount of his Magic Power.
He, however, had great confidence in the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon; not only was it a sturdy shield, it was also a powerful attacker.
He believed that even if Ye Yinzhu could summon that purple-haired man from the other day, it would not be possible to destroy his Rage Dragon immediately.
Taking advantage of this, he sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and started meditation with the Magic Paintbrush resting across his legs to recover his Mana as much as possible.
All eight fingers quivering, a beautiful melody poured forth, the soft rhythm, and lively tempo filled with a sense that relaxed one’s heart and chest.
Within the tender and melodious tune of “Green Water,” a series of translucent yellow Light Knives fluttered out from the strings of Haiyue Qinhui.
The Sound Blades didn’t seem out of place, as if they were a part of Ye Yinzhu’s performance, with their faint light shimmering as they ascended, their target being the rapidly approaching Golden Crystal Rage Dragon.
Because the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon’s body was simply too large, despite not being a Golden Crystal Tyrant Dragon, its length exceeded eight meters.
With such immense size, it was absolutely impossible for it to dodge.
The Sound Blades emitted from the Sword Spirit and Zither Realm accurately struck its tough Armor, creating an astonishing sight as the Sound Blades, seemingly solid, clashed against the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon’s body, sparking a series of sparks.
“Ao——” The Golden Crystal Rage Dragon let out another Roar, this one tinged with a hint of pain.
On its thick Scales, the Sound Blades left traces behind; although they could not breach its defense, the barrage of Sound Blades slowed the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon’s charge.
At this moment, Ye Yinzhu’s heart was pletely immersed in the zither strings, everything flowing so freely and smoothly.
After entering the Sword Spirit and Zither Realm, the problem that had always troubled him, where the Sound Blades could not perfectly bine with the melody, was easily solved.
Every single simplest note was now mixed with a destructive Sound Blade.
Sound Blade differed from Wind Blade.
While Wind Blade created cutting wounds through speed and sharpness, when Sound Blade hit the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon, it produced intense tremors.
Riding on the high-frequency vibration of the musical rhythm, it sawed through the thick scales of the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon like a saw blade, with a destructive power that Wind Blade couldn’t pare to.
With each step the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon took, it was met by at least ten Sound Blades.
Under Ye Yinzhu’s precise control, all the Sound Blades targeted an area on its chest.
With the constant attacks, cracks on the scales grew larger, and some small scales were shattered and flung away by the Sound Blades, bringing increasing pain to the beast.
The Golden Crystal Rage Dragon was getting closer to Ye Yinzhu, and the impacts from the Sound Blades became more concentrated.
The melody of “Green Water” flowed smoothly as a series of chords played by both hands crossed the strings of the zither, sending fourteen Sound Blades slicing through the air, converging towards the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon.
Just at that moment, the blood-red eyes of the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon suddenly turned gold, and a surge of golden Elemental Power burst forth from its crystal-like long horn.
A dazzling beam of golden light, sprinkled with golden sparks, shot out and collided with the fourteen Sound Blades ing head-on.
A metallic clanging sound rang out, and both Sound Blade and light beam shattered together.
Metallic Magic was an unconventional branch of Elemental Magic.
Inwardly, it could enhance one’s defense, while outwardly, it could launch strong attacks like golden spears.
It was the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon’s innate magic.
Perhaps the Sound Blades were too painful, the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon stopped its forward charge.
From the crystal horn on its head and the massive dragon tail it raised, waves of golden Metallic Magic Power clashed against Ye Yinzhu.
A faint smile appeared on Ye Yinzhu’s face; if the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon insisted on charging over, before the power of “Green Water” came into full effect, Ye Yinzhu would have to engage in close bat to block the opponent’s furious assault.
However, now that the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon was battling him with magic, it no longer stood a chance.
By Rainbow-grade categorization, a peak rank five beast like the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon equated to the strength of a Beginner Green rank human, three ranks higher than Ye Yinzhu.
Thus, Ye Yinzhu’s Sound Blades could not fully block the metal-like frenzied bombardment of the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon.
Nevertheless, the velocity of the Sound Blades was much higher than that of the opponent.
A series of Sound Blades reduced the Magical Beast’s Metallic Magic Power to its weakest state, and by the time it reached Ye Yinzhu, it was no longer possible to breach the Moon God’s Protection defense.
Just then, Ma Liang suddenly opened his eyes, a sense of dread in his heart.
He had never seen the Zither Sect’s Sound Blades before; Ye Yinzhu’s ability was a plete innovation.
But he knew well that the true strength of the Zither Sect lay in their zither music.
With the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon no longer charging, he couldn’t be certain what kind of change Ye Yinzhu’s music would bring to the match.
A brief hesitation flickered in his eyes, and taking a deep breath, he raised his left hand.
A crystal-clear crystal vial appeared in the palm of his hand.
The vial was transparent, revealing more than half a bottle of bright red liquid inside.
The Golden Crystal Rage Dragon’s attack speed was slowing down, and peculiarly, Ye Yinzhu also reduced the rate of Sound Blade attacks.
The wildness in the beast’s eyes gradually gave way to calmness, and when Ye Yinzhu played a captivating melody with the Baoyan Bearing Reed technique on the zither, the dragon stopped its attack on him altogether.
With a slight smile, Ye Yinzhu said to the Golden Crystal Rage Dragon, “You’re tired, go and rest on the side.”
The typically irascible Golden Crystal Rage Dragon actually nodded its huge head, turned around, and walked to the edge of the battlefield.
Its gigantic body transformed into specks of golden light that quietly faded away.
