YM778.TV Chapter Volume 5 30.2
Two violent explosions roared out and caused a tooth-aching, bone-disintegrating sound to ring out, like kernels popping explosively. The disproportional collision resulted in a completely opposite outcome. The two gigantic Apemen’s punches collided with Ye Yin Zhu’s fists right when the explosions began.
Unable to resist the explosion of power, all the bones in their bodies shattered into pieces. Resembling two round lumps of meat, they were sent flying away. Blood violently sprayed out. In a moment, neither ape was alive.
Ye Yin Zhu’s head didn’t turn around as he suddenly kicked backwards, immediately causing another terrifying, bone-shattering sound. A gigantic Apeman that had attempted to ambush him was sent flying five meters away by that kick. His sudden, explosive assault cleared the entire area.
Sura stabbed his dagger into the chests of two gigantic Apemen in succession with great difficulty before retreating to Ye Yin Zhu’s side. He was surprised to see that Ye Yin Zhu’s dark eyes had become a rich violet without him knowing. The pale skin exposed by the magic robe even had a faint shimmer of violet.
With one in each arm, Ye Yin Zhu caught the falling Xiang Luan and Hai Yang from the air, placing them behind his body to protect them.
The Apemen were extremely fierce. After a few frantic moments, 80 Apemen slowly surrounded them in all directions. The harsh mountain wind seemingly made the atmosphere become even more gloomy and chilly, matching the thick stench of blood in the air. It caused Xiang Luan and Hai Yang to faintly tremble, both with deathly pale complexions. They had grown up in seclusion since they were children; when could they have seen such a cruel scene? At this moment, they had already completely forgotten that they were mages.
“Sura, you protect them,” Ye Yin Zhu called back, his figure already dashing forward.
After that, Sura, Xiang Luan, and Hai Yang witnessed a terrible scene. Without any zither notes, without even using Jade Silk, Ye Yin Zhu attacked with only his two fists.
It was a completely physical battle. At this moment, Ye Yin Zhu’s tranquil grace had already disappeared, and his whole body flooded with an austere iciness from top to bottom. He was naturally and unconditionally tyrannical. His white robe fluttered in the breeze, his black hair calmly framing his face. Every moment, he sent an Apeman flying explosively like an artillery shell, the sounds of its bones shattering seemingly as though they were sighs from a Death God. This was absolute power.
He didn’t stay very far from Sura and the others, only attacking the Apemen that approached the group of three. Occasionally, an Apemen would slip past his guard, but it was impossible for them to escape the Angel’s Sigh in Sura’s hand.
The Apemen weren’t stupid. Within the many species of beastmen, their intelligence was comparatively high. After 30 Apemen died by Ye Yin Zhu’s hand, they were already a bit afraid. They no longer attacked directly, encircling the group of four and issuing threatening roars instead.
Ye Yin Zhu didn’t take initiative to attack. An ice-cold smile graced the corners of his mouth. He returned to Sura and the two girls, sitting in front of them. Rays of light sparked across his hand, and the Moon and Tides’ Clear Brilliance quietly materialized above his knees. He was not a warrior—he was a mage. Even if his dou qi’s power exceeded his magic, he was still a mage.
Zither notes rose, but these notes weren’t gentle, soft, or pleasant to listen to. These notes brimmed with the metallic clangs of a very powerful army. His eight fingers danced across the strings like fairies. The zither notes weren’t part of a song, yet dazzling yellow sound blades still shot out with peerless speed.
It could be said that Ye Yin Zhu’s cultivation was a harmony between magic and martial arts. The best embodiment of harmonious magic and martial arts was his sound blades. His Bamboo Dou Qi had reached Yellow Rank Level 5 at last, causing his sound blade’s strength to suddenly skyrocket.
Wherever the yellow sound blades went, trees that were in their way would be turned into splinters, and anyone blocking them would lose their life. The atmosphere was accompanied by ear-piercing zither notes that tore the air asunder, leaving traces of rippling sound waves.
The most magical aspect of the sound blades was its lack of dependence on the direction of the zither plucking; the sound blades depended on Ye Yin Zhu’s control of his spiritual force for direction. He had studied the Spiritual Magic journal Ferguson had given him these past few days, not wasting a moment of his time. His understanding of Spiritual Magic had reached new heights. This was especially true for his control over his zither notes by means of his Spiritual Magic. His newfound control not only improved his current music skills, but also improved his control over his sound blades.
A single sound blade would only leave a line of blood on the Apemen’s bodies, unable to kill them. Yet, if three sound blades bombarded the same spot, then the Apemen’s defenses would be unable to resist. After all, this was equivalent to a tyrannical attack of Cyan Rank dou qi and Green Rank magic! The majority of Apemen had no opportunity to dodge as lines of blood appeared on their bodies. Their lives had already been taken away.
The scene occurring before Sura, Xiang Luan, and Hai Yang’s eyes was absolutely terrifying. They could clearly see a dense mist of blood spray out in the wake of the sound blades slicing through the Apemen. The most frightening thing was when some of the Apemen’s lower extremities still walked forward while their upper bodies were left behind. The injuries on their bodies were as smooth and precise as a chisel and as powerful and oppressive as an axe!
A Divine Music mage’s terrifying killing power appeared for the first time on the battlefield, with Sura and the two others fortunately the first to witness it. Because of the massacre previously, Hai Yang and Xiang Luan had adapted somewhat, but they were just like Sura at this moment, their complexion deathly pale and frightened. How could they have anticipated that the gentle, innocent Ye Yin Zhu would become so unexpectedly terrifying when he attacked others?
The metallic clanging of a powerful army faded away, and with it were the lives of countless Apemen. Using the party of four as the center, the surroundings around them reeked richly of blood. There were intact Apemen corpses with their entire skeletons shattered to pieces by Ye Yin Zhu. Then there were those mowed down by the sound blades released by the Moon and Tides’ Clear Brilliance. Those mowed down truly had extremely bad luck. Each of their bodies were at least split in half, and some were even chopped into seven or eight lumps of meat by the sound blades. The ice-cold earth was dyed red with the hot blood of Apemen, the entire group having transformed into a field of corpses.
Sura had always believed his killing speed was exceptionally quick, yet only a tenth of the carcasses before his eyes were done by his hand.
Ye Yin Zhu sat there, motionless, an ice-cold expression still gracing his face as the layer of violet light gradually disappeared.
Sura calmed himself down with difficulty. Biting his lower lip, he said, “Yin Zhu, we should leave quickly.”
“Wa~~” The previously ruthless Ye Yin Zhu suddenly bent his waist, vomiting as he clutched the Moon and Tides’ Clear Brilliance to his chest. His sudden change caught Sura and the two girls off guard. After a brief moment of astonishment, Xiang Luan and Hai Yang couldn’t help but smile. Xiang Luan unhappily cried, “You scared me to death just now! So it turns out this guy isn’t that callous after all! He is still the shota of our Divine Music division.”
Sura also couldn’t help exposing a trace of a smile. The iciness and terror of their surroundings seemed to have dispersed quite a bit.
Ye Yin Zhu completely vomited the remnants of his breakfast. Gasping for air, he looked all around him, his face flushing red before draining of color. “This, this was really all my doing?” He spoke in a daze.
Just a moment ago, when he had begun killing in full swing, a warmth had surged forth from within his body, seeming to release a power that acclimatized his body to violence. Accepting the circumstances then, he had begun his massacre. While he was attacking, he only felt that his whole body was being stimulated. Only one word remained in his mind: destroy. Upon recalling this, he unexpectedly felt as if he had been unable to control his body at that time. It seemed that the contract he had signed with Zi didn’t only give him an increase in strength and power; it also gave him a few other things.
