Chapter 144 Music Against the Enemy
The young man chuckled as he closed his fan, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He has a gentle appearance, and his every move makes him a truly elegant gentleman, leaving a very good impression. Tao Tao was still grateful for his help, so she smiled and said, "Thank you again."
"So how do you want to thank me?" The young master squinted as he approached, his thin lips parted slightly, and the smile in his eyes grew even stronger.
This left Tao Tao speechless; she had only said it casually, but she hadn't expected the other person to take it seriously.
"How do you want me to thank you?" Tao Tao tilted his head, looking puzzled.
As he fiddled with his folding fan, the young master smiled and said, "I've heard that the Immortal Spirit Valley of the Annihilation Cold Sect is a picturesque place. I've been here for a long time but haven't been there yet. Would you be so kind as to show me the way and take me to see the scenery?"
"Just looking at the scenery? No problem, no problem."
"Then let's go together after the competition ends today."
"Oh, alright."
Tao Tao agreed without thinking, thinking that sightseeing was fine, especially since it was after the martial arts competition. Who knew if the other party would still be in the mood after the competition?
"Then I'll go first." The young master walked gracefully towards the arena. Tao Tao glanced at his back, sat down nonchalantly, and was about to close her eyes to rest when she suddenly heard a woman next to her ask, "Do you know Young Master Shen Yi?"
"Who?" Tao Tao looked up.
The woman gave her a cold look, her tone quite displeased, "That's the young master who just spoke to you. Don't tell me you don't know him. Let me tell you, Shen Yi is not someone you can covet."
"I didn't have any designs on him." Tao Tao was very confused. She didn't even know Shen Yi, so how could she have designs on him?
"You'd better know that, otherwise I won't let you off the hook next time."
After saying that, the woman stormed off, leaving Tao Tao completely bewildered.
Lately, I keep seeing strange people saying strange things.
Just then, the duel began. Tao Tao didn't care at first, but then he heard the names of the two fighters: Liu Ning and Shen Yi.
The name Shen Yi sounded familiar. Wasn't that the name the woman had mentioned earlier? Was he that young master? Tao Tao was a little curious, so she went out to take a look at the arena. She had just stepped out when the match ended. Shen Yi closed his folding fan and stood elegantly in place, while the person opposite him was already lying on the ground in a sorry state.
So fast? This is a Class B martial arts competition, and to defeat the opponent in an instant, their strength is simply unimaginable.
"See that? This is Young Master Shen's strength. Their Yue Chong Lou is unfathomable, and as the young master, he is naturally even more mysterious."
It was that woman's voice again. Tao Tao glanced at her and gave an awkward smile. "Wow, that's impressive. But what kind of place is Yue Chong Lou?"
Tao Tao had never heard of these people before and had no idea how powerful they were; she was just curious about Shen Yi.
"You've never even heard of this? You're really quite ignorant." The woman didn't explain, but instead walked straight towards the arena. Tao Tao was too lazy to ask any more questions when she saw her attitude. As she was about to go back, the nameplate in her hand suddenly started shaking. She looked down and realized that it was her turn to fight.
So her opponent was that woman? No wonder she said those things back then.
Regardless of who she was, Tao Tao had no reason to back down now that it was her turn. She walked towards the arena and just happened to brush past Shen Yi who was coming down. At this moment, Shen Yi moved his lips and said, "You have no problem beating her."
Before Tao Tao could even speak, the other person had already left. Was that meant to reassure her? In truth, the woman didn't pose any threat to Tao Tao; she could sense the other person's strength.
Upon arriving at the arena, the woman stared at Tao Tao with hostility, her eyes appearing unusually cold.
"Xiuying Village, Wenhong".
"Fairy Valley, so much fun!"
"The duel begins!"
With a command, Wen Hong took the lead. She gently spread her hands in front of her, and a jade-green guqin appeared in mid-air. The guqin was exquisitely crafted, and the strings shone with a faint light, clearly a superior magical artifact.
Wen Hong didn't give Tao Tao any chance to react. She immediately plucked the strings of her zither, and a melody was produced. Then, three sound blades shot through the air. The melody seemed to be able to disturb people's minds, but it did not cause any harm to Tao Tao.
Since the opponent had chosen a sonic attack, she decided to try out the flute that You Yunzi had given her last time. She turned her hand and placed it to her lips, gently playing it.
Tao Tao didn't know music, so he could only play the flute. But the sound that came out was terrible, like a demonic sound, making people's scalps tingle. The flying sound blade was instantly shattered, and even the strings that Wen Hong was plucking broke.
"Zheng..."
The guqin let out its last mournful cry, and from then on, it became dull and lifeless.
"You!" Wen Hong couldn't believe that Tao Tao was so amazing. She hadn't done anything, she had just played the flute. What was the origin of the flute in her hand? It was even more amazing than her guqin.
Tao Tao had no time to think about anything else; she just wanted to stop as soon as possible. But for some reason, once she started playing, she couldn't stop on her own. Strange flute sounds kept coming from the flute, and the entire arena was covered by the flute sounds. The space seemed to become distorted. Wen Hong couldn't resist it at all and felt excruciating pain in her internal organs.
If this continued, her mind and spiritual veins would be completely destroyed by the music, and it might even cause irreparable damage. Wen Hong dared not take this risk, so she hurriedly took out a defensive magic weapon from her storage bracelet. However, before she could use it, she heard a "bang" and the magic weapon actually broke open, and she also bled bright red blood.
"Ugh..." Wen Hong was in great pain. Seeing Tao Tao so close, she tried to get closer, at least to make the other party pay the price. But when she walked towards Tao Tao without thinking, her head felt like it was about to explode. Under the torment of the flute music, she could only vaguely see the figure in front of her before falling heavily to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices and looking utterly miserable.
Tao Tao wasn't surprised to win this victory. She was just curious about how to use the flute. Although she managed to play it, she didn't really utilize its full potential. She wanted Wen Hong to hold on a little longer, but Wen Hong had already reached her limit.
Never mind, I'll try again later.
Tao Tao put away his flute and left the arena.
After all, Tao Tao had been on a winning streak before, so her victory was not surprising to the people watching. They just didn't expect it to be so quick. Both she and Shen Yi finished their battles quickly, and their strength was so formidable that it was unbelievable.
"I knew you would win, but you were indeed a bit too fast. And I didn't expect you to defeat the Xiuying Manor disciple who is best at music by relying on your musical skills."
As soon as she went outside, Tao Tao saw Shen Yi leaning against the door waiting for her.
"I don't know music, this was just an accident." Tao Tao didn't expect that just by playing the flute, Wen Hong would lose. Strictly speaking, she hadn't even exerted her full strength.
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and chuckled, saying, "Whether it was an accident or not, you won against her, that's a fact."
That doesn't seem wrong, Tao Tao nodded slightly, but then Shen Yi suddenly asked, "What are your plans for the next few matches?"
