Chapter 1484: Chapter 1582: Fighting Alone Against a Host of Heroes

Soldiers formed from the power of thunder and lightning, although incorporeal, possess unimaginable might.

Especially under such a charging momentum, even the Great Longevity masters would be submerged by the horrific sea of thunder and lightning power.

It was with this move that the previous Old Emperor Qin fiercely battled Nine Countries Seven Seas Confucianism expert Feng Haitang for nine days and nights without a victor.

That battle could be described as thunder galloping, where countless masters from the three sects perished.

“Laughable.” Confronted with this boundless strike, Dugu Nian simply uttered these two words.

Heavenly Zither Three Moves–Great Sound No Voice!

Fingers fell, zither strings stirred.

The rapid zither music suddenly rose, a piece incredibly rough and unrestrained, like a giant splitting mountains, and like furious sea waves crashing.

Within the rolling zither music, countless shouts and killing sounds arose, vaguely discernible figures holding various weapons appeared.

“What a formidable technique!” The crowd was shocked, they did not anticipate Dugu Nian still had such a move.

Old Emperor Qin used thunder and lightning to form soldiers, while Dugu Nian materialized a similar tactic with zither music, matching troops with troops, generals against generals.

Boom~~~

Two torrents collided in the blink of an eye, zither music and thunder clashing, like two armies waging war.

Wave after wave of zither music, one surge of thunder following another, the entire sky above transformed into an endless battlefield.

Old Emperor Qin’s expression turned grave, ceaselessly drawing upon his own strength to provoke the power of thunder and lightning; he could still hold on, but his face was showing signs of strain.

“This Sky Swallowing Palace Hall Master has profound cultivation, and his mastery of the Tao of the Zither is also transcendental; truly terrifying, that such a person exists in this world,” Old Emperor Qin silently said to himself, cold sweat gradually seeping out.

Seeing this, Old Yuan Emperor naturally wouldn’t stand idly by; his vital energy surged upward, ghastly like a specter he appeared in front of Dugu Nian, legs sweeping across in a strike.

This blow, seemingly aimed at Dugu Nian, was actually intended to shatter the zither in front of her, and after dispersing it, presumably her martial arts of the zither would immediately lose power.

Naturally, Dugu Nian would not let him succeed, her figure drifting between solidity and illusion, a pair of crimson eyes releasing a strange power.

“This is***” Old Yuan Emperor’s figure halted, as if bound by an invisible force, pausing for an instant.

Although it was only for an instant, to a master of Dugu Nian’s caliber, an instant was enough time for many things to happen.

Bang!

Dugu Nian’s palm impressions landed on Old Yuan Emperor, directly knocking him flying, while Dugu Nian’s other hand didn’t stop playing the zither; the music still sounding incessantly, counteracting Old Emperor Qin’s offensive.

With the strength of just one person, she battled two former emperors of the Nine Countries, without losing ground. In fact, she even slightly suppressed these two past emperors.

This scene caused those below, such as Emperor Qin, Western Moon King, and others, to change color.

They knew the Sky Swallowing Palace Hall Master was powerful, hence they gathered so many experts for an encirclement and suppression of Sky Swallowing Palace.

However, they had not anticipated the Sky Swallowing Palace Master to be so formidable, that even the Great Longevity experts would struggle against her, let alone the two senior emperors who had stepped into the threshold of Half-step Immortal; the fact that they couldn’t overcome her was considerably exaggerated.

“Once the Eastern Pole Heaven King had entered into the realm of Immortality, he also engaged in a tremendous battle against Ling Chanzi and Feng Haitang of the Seven Seas three sect, both of whom were at the Half-step Immortal stage. Despite being slain by the Eastern Pole Heaven King, they inflicted such grievous injuries that left the Eastern Pole Heaven King on the verge of death, proving that Half-step Immortal experts, if determined to fight to the death, could indeed threaten those who are Immortal,” Green Robe Guest had been diligently observing the clash between the two senior emperors and the Sky Swallowing Palace Master, internally commenting.

However, the Green Robe Guest was also well aware that these two senior emperors were not ones to recklessly stake their lives; having cultivated for countless years, they had long since seen through everything. They had only taken action this time because the Qin Emperor and Yuan Emperor had suffered losses at the hands of the Sky Swallowing Palace Master. For them to desperately battle to the death against the Palace Master was nearly an impossibility.

Thus, the key to this battle hinged on whether true reinforcements could arrive and to what extent the two senior emperors could wear down the Sky Swallowing Palace Master.

“We must also take action, to aid the two senior emperors,” declared the Western Moon Heaven King.

Immediately, the Qin Emperor, Yuan Emperor, and the three great Heaven Kings lent their power once more, joining forces with the two senior emperors in a fierce battle against the Sky Swallowing Palace Master.

Two Half-step Immortals and five Great Longevity experts–such military strength would be sufficient to sweep across the Nine Countries Seven Seas, yet now it was employed to deal with just one person, and a woman at that.

Even with Dugu Nian’s strength of an Immortal, facing such a multitude of attacks from many masters, she was still plunged into a bitter struggle.

After all, Dugu Nian’s Immortal realm was not achieved through her own cultivation, so her capabilities were still somewhat inferior to those of a true Immortal expert.

In addition, Dugu Nian’s soul trauma was still quite severe; her soul was not intact, which affected her power, so she was never able to be truly at her peak state.

It could be said that at this moment, Dugu Nian could only exert about eighty percent of her full strength.

Without the soul injury, even with the two senior emperors in the mix, Dugu Nian could still gain the upper hand and suppress them in battle.

But now, against the combined efforts of many masters, Dugu Nian was doing just enough to hold her ground, and supressing these experts was no easy task.

However, Dugu Nian had not resorted to any artifacts throughout; even the ancient zither was nothing but a manifested illusion.

Amidst the billowing of her red robe, Dugu Nian once again performed the Heaven Step, temporarily repelling the Qin Emperor, Western Moon Heaven King, and the others.

And while the Old Emperor Qin pushed the Thunder Condensed Soldier technique to its limits, it could not pose a threat to Dugu Nian–the power of thunder and lightning was completely neutralized by the zither’s sound.

It was the Old Yuan Emperor’s formidable physical strength, however, that caused Dugu Nian considerable trouble.

The Old Yuan Emperor invoked his Half-step Immortal strength to power his physical body while casting a blood flesh secret skill, so his physical strength was not in the least weaker than Dugu Nian’s, even slightly exceeding her.

After all, Dugu Nian’s specialty wasn’t the Tao of the physical body, but rather Martial Arts.

Relying on his powerful physique, Old Yuan Emperor repeatedly clashed head-on with Dugu Nian. Although he was blocked each time, he had already noticed that this Sky Swallowing Palace Master was not notably strong in physical combat.

“Thinking of encircling me? How naive,” snorted Dugu Nian coldly, as the sound of the zither underwent another transformation.

Sky Zither Three Moves–Grand Elegance, No Melody.

With the cultivation of Immortality, she invoked the Sound of Killing.

A surging mighty force burst forth with the zither’s sound, rapidly radiating outwards in every direction.

In an instant, the two senior emperors took the brunt of the attack, each of them spewing blood and sent flying backwards, and the five Great Longevity experts of Western Moon and others fared even worse–drenched in blood as if they had suffered a great defeat.

Even the Hidden Kill Hall’s four, who were further away, were profoundly impacted, forced to defend against the power of the zither’s sound, so much so that their masked adversaries gained the upper hand, putting them at a significant disadvantage.

PS: The sixth update has arrived, the pace continues to intensify.
