Chapter 286 Superior Grade Spiritual Qin – Seven Tones Qin

Chapter 286: Chapter 286 Superior Grade Spiritual Qin – Seven Tones QinHowever, Xiao Yifeng also knew that the reason his strength increased so slowly was that he cultivated the Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art, which focuses on tempering the flesh.

Moreover, most of the power Xiao Yifeng absorbed was used to penetrate the Nine Great Apertures in his body, which is why his cultivation realm progressed so slowly.

Despite this, the Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art greatly enhanced his combat abilities beyond his realm, and using his formidable physique coupled with the power contained within his acupoints, he could often engage in cross-tier combat.

That’s why he could eliminate Gang Qi Realm masters while being only at the Transformative Energy Stage, and according to what that old man, his master, had said, once he penetrated the Nine Great Apertures, he could achieve the Supreme Dominant Body.

By then, shattering the void and annihilating starlight would be within easy reach. Thinking of this, the sense of imbalance in Xiao Yifeng’s heart disappeared at once as he began to focus on the battle taking place in the tavern.

In the tavern, after a fierce battle, Ji Sanniang and the five opponents had all consumed a vast amount of True Qi, especially the young masked woman. Among the six, she possessed the lowest strength and realm, and her face had already turned slightly pale from the depletion of True Qi.

While battling five opponents by herself, Ji Sanniang’s strength was also greatly diminished.

"Ji Ruxue, although you have now recovered to the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm, you can’t withstand us when we join forces, so you should obediently come back with us to meet the Sect Master," one said.

After a loud boom, Ji Sanniang and the four Qi Condensation Realm peak women were all forced to retreat continuously, their complexions pale.

"The disciples from Tianyin Sect said the same thing to me before. Back then, I was only at the initial stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, but in the end, they still fled injured. Didn’t they tell you?" Ji Sanniang replied.

Ji Sanniang’s rosy lips curved up slightly, sketching a charming smile at the corners of her mouth.

"Demonic Sound Art!"

Hearing Ji Sanniang’s words, the four women and the young masked woman all showed a change in expression, murmuring lightly with a somewhat grave demeanor.

Previously, when Tianyin Sect dispatched disciples to capture Ji Ruxue, they returned with injuries, and they naturally knew that Ji Ruxue had successfully mastered the Demonic Melody Art.

However, considering that Ji Ruxue was only at the initial stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, they thought that even with the Demonic Melody Art, she could only cope with late-stage Qi Condensation Realm experts at most.

But they all were at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm, so they had no fear of Ji Ruxue using the Demonic Melody Art. However, they did not expect that Ji Ruxue’s strength had already recovered to the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Now if she used the Demonic Melody Art, whether they could withstand it was uncertain.

Bang!

With a wave of her hand, Ji Sanniang brought forth a dull sound, and a black long zither appeared in her hands. She emanated a unique and enchanting aura, and her slender fingers began to flutter over the strings of the zither.

Zheng!

A clear and melodious note rang out, captivating like demonic music that confused the mind, almost immersing the soul in its allure.

As Ji Sanniang’s fingers plucked the strings, enchanting and bewitching sounds of the Demonic Melody filled the entire tavern.

The complexions of the five women changed, as each of them summoned a powerful surge of True Qi to fend off the invasion of the demonic sounds.

"Such powerful Demonic Melody!"

Outside the tavern, Xiao Yifeng heard the melodious and enchanting demonic music and immediately felt his mind quivering. He quickly circulated the Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art to stabilize his spirit.

Zheng, zheng, zheng!

Ji Sanniang sped up her rhythm, and black crescent-shaped arcs of light shot out from the strings of the zither, slicing through the void before her.

Ha!

The four women swung their longswords, shattering every one of those sharp and dreadful crescent arcs.

At this moment, the masked young woman sheathed her longsword and waved her hands. Following a flash of light, a crystal-clear ancient qin with seven strings of different colors appeared in her hands, emitting a rainbow glow. It was obvious at a glance that it was no ordinary instrument.

"The Seven Tones Qin!"

Seeing the ancient qin in the woman’s hands, Ji Sanniang’s expression changed, with a glimmer of shock passing through her eyes, her face quickly darkening.

"I didn’t expect her to even give you the Superior Grade Spiritual Qin, which no one in the Tianyin Pavilion has ever used before. It seems she really holds you in high regard!"

Ji Sanniang said coldly, her eyes flashing with menace.

"A Superior Grade Spiritual Artifact has actually come into play. This Tianyin Sect seems to be a formidable force within the Martial Arts World indeed!"

Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing the spiritual qin.

Within the Martial Arts World, a force that possessed a Superior Grade Spiritual Artifact was definitely a first-rate Sect force. However, Xiao Yifeng was not very knowledgeable about the Martial Arts World and did not know of Tianyin Sect’s existence.

"Elder Sister, to prevent you from making further mistakes, I am sorry, Qingcheng!"

The masked woman spoke indifferently, sitting cross-legged on the ground with the Seven Tones Qin placed in front of her. Her delicate, fair jade hands caressed the seven strings.

Suddenly, melodious and ethereal music sounded, imparting a feeling of calmness throughout one’s being, which contrasted starkly with Ji Sanniang’s music—like two extremes.

One like the music of immortals! The other like the music of devils!

"Today, let me witness the prowess of the Seven Tones Qin!"

Ji Sanniang said coldly, her body surging with a sinister aura. She plucked the strings with her hands, her eyes flashing with terrifying killing intent.

"Demonic Sound Art—Kill!"

As Ji Sanniang shouted explosively, her fingers flickered across the strings like shadows, the vibrating strings releasing sound waves that turned into black arcs of attack, carrying with them soul-crushing demonic music.

Meanwhile, the masked woman’s slender fingers began playing her own music, with her celestial tunes clashing against the opposing demonic sounds.

As the woman strummed the strings of the qin, beams of rainbow light shot out, colliding with the black arcs. Horrific booming noises erupted, unleashing ripples of True Qi.

Facing these terrifying True Qi ripples, the four women at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm were unable to withstand the force, quickly moving aside.

For a time, Ji Sanniang and the young woman engaged in a sonic battle.

Demonic sounds versus celestial music!

Black arcs clashing with rainbow light!

The two fought fiercely. Normally, with Ji Sanniang’s power at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm, coupled with the formidable strength of the Demonic Melody Art, the young woman, who was only at the initial stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, should not have been able to withstand.

Yet she was using the Superior Grade Seven-Tone Spirit Qin to fight on even terms with her opponent.

The entire bar was torn apart by the resonating power of their music, as if a tremendous explosion had occurred. The four women were forced back repeatedly by this overwhelming power, nearly reaching the bar’s entrance, indicating just how terrifying the battle between them was.

However, as time passed, the masked woman began to take the upper hand with the help of the Superior Grade Spiritual Qin in her hands, starting to press Ji Sanniang.

"I will not lose!"

Ji Sanniang growled, her aura shifting as she waved her hands again.
