Chapter 118 Dugu Xun Appears
Gu Yan quickly came into the black-veiled woman's sight. Seeing that she had caught up so quickly, Gu Yan broke out in a cold sweat and could only desperately use her magic to drive the Wind and Thunder Wings.
The woman in black veil revealed a smug look on her beautiful face. She whistled, and the surrounding peaks trembled. All the surrounding demonic beasts were under her control. Countless demonic beasts flew out from the cliffs and dense forests, blocking Gu Yan's path in an instant.
A giant bird, hundreds of feet long, let out a long cry and swooped down on Gu Yan.
Gu Yan wielded the Heavenly Gang Sword and immediately cleaved it in two.
Blood splattered as Gu Yan darted through the gaping body, only to see the woman in black veil suddenly step in front of her. With a seductive smile, she reached out and a red handprint reached for Gu Yan. Gu Yan thought to herself: This is bad!
Just as Gu Yan was about to be captured, a high-pitched zither melody resounded throughout the world.
The moment the music began, the sound waves tore through the heavens and earth. The handprint that was grabbing at Gu Yan was shattered by the sound waves, and all the surrounding demonic beasts exploded and died, turning into clouds of blood mist that drifted down.
The space within a radius of a hundred miles was torn apart by the sound waves, creating countless exaggerated spatial rifts. These rifts rapidly healed under the influence of the laws of heaven and earth, but were quickly torn apart again by a second sound wave.
Gu Yan and the woman in black veil both looked in the same direction, where they saw a figure appear on the lonely mountain hundreds of miles away.
A white-haired man in a black robe sat on a rock, playing a zither. His slender fingers plucked the strings, and terrifying sound waves shook the heavens and earth.
Dugu Xun!!
Gu Yan was surprised to see him here.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Visible sound waves instantly reached Gu Yan and the woman in black veil. These sound waves transformed into purple arcs of light that brushed past Gu Yan and shot towards the woman in black veil.
With a flick of her black-veiled ribbons, the space trembled, and a large expanse of red light shattered all the purple arcs of light.
Dugu Xun's long hair flew wildly, his whole body radiated purple light, and his fingers moved so fast on the strings of the zither that they became a blur.
The music shook the heavens and earth. Ninety-nine streaks of purple lightning, like ninety-nine bolts of light, instantly approached the woman in black veil. These purple lightning bolts carried the power of supreme thunder, and in an instant, it seemed as if ninety-nine thunder dragons were roaring towards them, a terrifying sight.
The woman in black veil immediately unleashed her great supernatural power. Her entire body surged with red light, and her demonic aura soared to the heavens. A colossal primordial spirit appeared behind her. A thousand-foot-long phantom of a nine-headed serpent appeared behind her, and the nine-headed serpent roared, spewing out terrifying demonic breath once more.
Rumbling--
The intense light devoured everything, and the terrifying sound shook the heavens and the earth. Countless mountains turned into mud and sand in an instant, and the ground was torn up layer by layer.
The clash between two powerful figures at the Spirit Venerable level was terrifying.
Gu Yan ran as far away as possible.
The woman in black veil danced with flowing ribbons, and then, one after another, dark black flowers tinged with blood red bloomed in the void. These ominous flowers swayed and transformed into graceful and beautiful young women, instantly arriving at a lonely mountain a hundred miles away, surrounding Dugu Xun.
Dugu Xun struck the strings with his palm, causing all seven strings to vibrate. The sound waves spread out in an arc, instantly shattering all the girls formed from the ominous flowers. But at that moment, the woman in black veiled also appeared before him, her red sword stabbing mercilessly at Dugu Xun.
Dugu Xun swung his seven-stringed zither to block the attack from the woman in black. His zither was a sacred artifact, equivalent to a celestial magic weapon. The zither stand was struck by the longsword, but there was no mark. Instead, the strings vibrated, and the sound waves forced the woman in black to retreat.
The woman in black veil touched her sword with her finger, and black demonic runes lit up on the blade. Then she thrust her sword at Dugu Xun once more.
Dugu Xun dodged her sword strike, retreated rapidly with one hand holding his zither, and then slashed the strings hard with his other hand, sending tens of thousands of purple arcs of light, each a hundred feet long, hurtling towards the woman in black veil.
As the woman in black veil swayed her slender waist, her longsword danced rapidly, unleashing a terrifying storm. When this storm collided with the arcs of light, the heavens and earth trembled, and the world changed color.
Dugu Xun and the woman in black veiled fought more and more fiercely, causing chaos and destruction wherever they went. The primeval mountain range could not withstand the devastation caused by these two powerful Spirit Venerables, and countless lives were affected.
As the shockwaves continued to surge in, all the monsters, demons, and other creatures fled in terror into the distance.
Dugu Xun's zither music continued to resound, until countless strings appeared in the world, and the woman in black veils transformed into her original form. The number of strings increased, as if a cage had trapped the nine-headed python, and the music grew increasingly terrifying.
Finally, a piercing scream was heard. The nine-headed python had two heads severed by the strings. After shrinking in size, it fled frantically into the distance.
Gu Yan was quite surprised. She wasn't surprised at all that Dugu Xun had become a Spirit Venerable, but he had only been a Spirit Venerable for a few years, at most ten years, yet he had managed to cut off the demoness's two heads, leaving her seriously injured and fleeing in a sorry state.
At the same level, demons are generally stronger than humans.
Amidst the collapsing heavens and earth, the gravitational pull from countless void rifts drew dust and rocks into the air. A peerless, handsome young man in white stood atop a remaining, solitary peak, watching a purple rainbow descend before him, transforming into a strikingly handsome man with white hair and a black robe.
"Brother." Gu Yan smiled at Dugu Xun.
Gu Yan was smiling, but Dugu Xun's face darkened. Seeing Gu Yan's white clothes stained with blood and his hair disheveled, looking so dirty, his face darkened even more. Fortunately, he had scanned the area with his divine sense and found that although Gu Yan was disheveled, he was not injured, and the blood was not his own.
He was still furious, though, and said, "Are you out of your mind? Venturing deep into the demon realm all by yourself."
Gu Yan explained, "At first, I just wanted to wander around the edge of the demon territory, but who knew I would be so unlucky. A demon at the Spirit King realm actually managed to find me. After that, after that... Anyway, I ended up here in a daze. I didn't want to either."
Gu Yan complained while proclaiming his innocence. He genuinely felt innocent; he hadn't killed or set fires in the demon realm, yet they were relentlessly pursuing and attacking him.
How could he be so unlucky? A demon at the Spirit King level managed to find him, then a demon at the Spirit Emperor level chased him everywhere, and then he unfortunately encountered a great demon at the Spirit Venerable level.
"What are you doing here?" Dugu asked.
"I'm looking for the Ten Thousand Year Tear Bodhi," Gu Yan answered honestly.
Dugu Xun looked at him but didn't speak. Gu Yan smiled and asked him, "Brother, what are you doing here?"
Dugu Xun said, "Just passing by."
Gu Yan blinked. Just passing by?
