Chapter 405 A Guangling Song, Extreme Purple Lightning Bolt

Splash!

The water pillars rose into the sky and formed a water tornado.

Then, more water pillars appeared and slowly expanded out. There was soon a water prison locking down the battlefield. Splash! Splash! Waves started to splash around inside the water prison. However, it was only splashing at the Heavenly Palace army. It was troublesome for them to fight properly.

Ao Cheng wagged his tail, trying to move the seawater underneath him. He realized it was way harder to move. The seawater appeared to be controlled by that flag.

“The Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, Xuanyuan Water Flag.”

Lord Taoist Taihua furrowed his brows and looked down. He asked weirdly, “Why do you have that flag?”

Although the flag was not as incredible as the Heavenly Fifth Dimension Flag, it was still a Superior Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. It could control all forms of water. Apart from that, it was also an incredible defense item. It was terrifyingly powerful.

The Eel King smirked cruelly. He said, “I purposely prepared it for you all. Today... None of you will leave!”

“You’ve been planning for that since you took over the Western Sea. You wanted to attract us here to fight.” The situation was quite clear, Lord Taoist Taihua naturally noticed the suspicious acts. He asked in a low voice, “Who’s sabotaging the Heavenly Palace?”

“The Heavenly Palace originally belongs to the Demons! That’s our Demon Palace!”

The Eel King glared hard. His voice was cold and full of mockery, “This catastrophe should’ve changed the world. We Demons shall reclaim our glory! The Demons should be the ones to rule this realm!”

“Demon Palace...”

Lord Taoist Taihua instantly recalled a lot of people in his mind. ‘Who is it? Who could be alive and would sabotage the Heavenly Palace?’

“Minions. Kill every Heavenly Palace soldier. We shall fight and reclaim the Demon Palace!

“Kill!”

Countless sea creatures and animals yelled in the Western Sea. They sprinted to attack.

“With you bunch of seafood and poultry?”

Juling Shen kept sneering. He held his axes and bravely sprinted toward them. He yelled, “For the glory of the Heavenly Palace. Everyone, follow me, let’s go!”

Both sides went into the climax of the battle. The Demons were ferocious and the Heavenly Palace fought even with the water dragging them down. It was a tough battle.

Dragin had to ask, “Brother, should I join the battle?”

Li Nianfan petted Dragin on the head and replied, “You aren’t going to be of much help with that cultivation of yours. It’d be useless.”

He carefully analyzed the battlefield and realized both sides had bloodshot eyes.

The Heavenly Palace must win the battle, and the Western Sea had prepared for that. Both sides did not want to back down or lose. The Heavenly Palace fell into their trap but the Jade Emperor was not to be messed with. It was clear that he still wanted to represent the power of the Heavenly Palace with that battle.

It was not the time for Li Nianfan to shine. He was waiting for the Heavenly Palace to be at a disadvantage or when Nanan and the others were in danger. It was not too late to make a move by then.

‘I’m the Deluxe Merit Saint. When the time comes, I’ll release the Deluxe Merit Light and walk on Deluxe Merit. I shall be the peacemaker, I don’t think anyone would be reckless.’

Li Nianfan touched the armor he had on and felt safe. He told Dragin again, “If something happens, remember to protect me. We will head on to the battlefield together.”

Dragin nodded. “I got it, brother. Will we wait here for now?”

“Yeah. We can only wait here and see.”

Li Nianfan took a deep breath and watched everyone battle it out. Then, he looked at the dead bodies on the water’s surface. His mind was somewhere else. It was hard not to be passionate when he was involved in a majestic battle.

He suddenly had an idea. He said, “We are missing background music for a situation like this. I should just play a song to encourage them.” According to science, music on battlefields could help uplift soldiers.

Li Nianfan could not help the soldiers to kill the enemies. The only thing he could do was to hype them up. He hoped it would help them.

He flicked his wrist and out came a zither in front of him. Then, he sat crossed-legged above the water and touched the zither.

He could see that the screams and yells were getting intense. Spells were thrown left and right like flashlights. The sparks of fire, water, and electricity flowed in the water prison. Explosions made the seawater splash around. Demons and soldiers were hurt but they were still fighting with their lives.

“This song is called... ‘Guangling San’!”

Then, Li Nianfan played the zither. Jam!

The zither music was soft at first. It slowly spread out. It was insignificant on the battlefield and could be easily neglected. However, everyone clearly heard the soft zither music. It was extremely weird.

Lord Taoist Taihua and the others that were deep in battle jumped when they heard the zither music. They had to look for the source. When they saw it, they were overjoyed.

‘It’s the expert!’

‘Is the expert going to...attack?’

They looked like they were fearless on the surface, but in reality, they knew that they were probably going to lose. They knew that they could not surrender the battle. Their opponent had lured them into a trap. The Demons were at an advantage in every way.

However, things had changed. The expert was playing the zither!

Jam.

The zither music was soft at first. It started to become rushed, and the rhythm gradually became uplifting

‘Guangling San’ was the only song that was both uplifting and perfect for battles. It expressed the spirit of resistance and the will for battle.

Zither music was not as loud as drums, and it was not as inspirational as a horn. However, the zither music played by Li Nianfan worked wonders. Everyone imagined a painting scroll of an epic battle slowly opening up in their minds.

Splash.

The zither music came in waves like the sea. It started to make the soldiers have goosebumps. They felt as if their blood was boiling. Deep down in their veins, they were not afraid of violence. Their ‘rather die than compromise’ spirit started to awaken with the zither music. Their powers were also on fire.

“Let’s go kill these Demons!”

Every soldier instantly had spirited eyes. They felt as if they had an energy that would not burn out. They had only one thing in mind, fight!

Lord Taoist Taihua felt the newfound power in his body. He looked genuinely shocked. His tiredness from battling for so long was gone and he felt re-energized. Also...he had new powers?

‘It’s not an illusion. This is actually happening! “This zither music... powerful. It’s too powerful!”

He gulped and thought it was incredible.

‘He turned nothing into something! Music was inspirational and uplifting However...what they felt was not an illusion. It was actual strength in their psyches. Their bodies were still their bodies but the zither music helped them gain strength and power

wer.

“Too scary!’

He took a deep breath and cast a spell. The sun flares were way stronger. It exploded into a golden fire dragon that spat out fire pillars. It easily turned the battle around. The black water of the Eel King was diminished.

Taoist Taihua was mentally prepared but he was still shocked by his attack. “I’m so powerful.”

Roar!

Ao Cheng roared. His Dragon body was thrice as huge. He flicked his tail and knocked out the Eel Demon. He was easily slapped away. It was unbelievable.

The trap of the Xuanyuan Water Flag was instantly broken. The Western Sea army was utterly confused by the sudden change of events. They were puzzled by how powerful the Heavenly Palace army became. ‘Even if it’s a potential near-death burst, they shouldn’t be this powerful. It’s as if they had steroids together. It’s illogical. ‘It’s just music. Is it possible to become so powerful?’

The Western Sea Demons felt pressured. They kept flicking their ears and listened attentively. They tried to figure out what was going on with the music. They realized their efforts were to no avail... It was ineffective to them.

They looked at the source of the zither music and found out that an ordinary man was playing the zither. That person was insignificant. If it was not for the change of events, they would not even have noticed him.

‘Maybe the zither music is just a cover-up? These people have a hidden trick?’

“Damn it.”

The Eel King looked around. He could not figure out what was going on. He kept cursing inside.

A pair of bloody red eyes suddenly opened in the dark depths of the Western Sea. A low and hoarse voice slowly rang, “This zither music... is odd!”

Suddenly, a Clam Demon quickly swam from the surface. It said, “Second King, the battle outside isn’t going well for us. I’m afraid we need you.”

Splash!

The Second King moved. Tentacles rose like pillars and swayed around. It was a humongous Octopus Demon.

“Truly the Heavenly Palace. Lord Kunpeng set up this scheme but they could still handle it.” The Octopus Demon moved out from the mud. “Are you sure there won’t be any more accidents?”

“No. From the looks of it, as long as we have you, the Heavenly Palace army will be defeated!”

The Clam Demon paused then said, “We didn’t plan for this to happen but that zither music changed things up. I don’t get it.”

“I’m well-aware of the situation. I’m curious, too. Is the Heavenly Palace army affected by the zither music, or is it...that they have another helper!”

The Octopus Demon glared and fell into deep thought. Then, it shook its head and laughed in a low voice, “Whatever. It’s a waste of time. It’s easy to find out, all I need to do is to kill that ordinary man. We’ll be able to know if they were affected by the zither music or not!” One of its tentacles shot out toward Li Nianfan at high speed! It was way too fast. It went near Li Nianfan in the blink of an eye. The water shield formed by Dragin was useless against the Octopus Demon. However, it did not attack head-on to be safe. It chose to attack from behind.

Splash!

The tentacle suddenly splashed out from the sea like a whip. It attacked Li Nianfan from behind!

Every Heavenly Palace soldier saw that. They were horrified by the sight. They almost fainted from shock.

“Stop!”

Xiao Chengfeng and the others went crazy. They risked being heavily injured and tried whatever they could to stop it.

“Haha, where are you going? Stay here!” The Eel King noticed how panicked they were. He instantly felt pleased. He waved the Xuanyuan Water Flag. The water prison instantly became stronger, blocking everyone in their way.

“You ignorant fool, you ignorant fool!”

“It’s all over now. How should we explain this to the expert?!”

“Eel King, tell them to stop. We’re trying to do what’s best for you!”

Lord Taoist Taihua watched as the tentacle attacked. He felt as if he could not breathe anymore.

Pop!

The water shield formed by Dragin burst. The huge tentacle attacked Li Nianfan’s back.

Zither music stopped!

However... Li Nianfan did not budge. He looked slightly confused.

‘Did something...tap me on the back?’

The chaotic battlefield went silent. Everyone looked in his direction with wide eyes. They all looked shocked and in disbelief.

Lord Taoist Taihua froze.

Ao Cheng froze. The Eel King froze.

And the Octopus Demon that slapped Li Nianfan also froze.

“How... How is this possible?” The Octopus Demon’s mind was buzzing. It tried to recall the force it just used. It did not make sense because it was forceful.

Kaboom!

A purple lightning bolt suddenly struck from the sky.

The lightning came without a warning. Also, it was terrifyingly thick. It slashed through the sky and heavily struck the Western Sea like a huge pillar!

The area was instantly covered in a purple hue.

The Sea Demons in the sea were instantly cleared out. Some of the seawater even evaporated. It formed a temporary vacuum area.

The lightning immediately faded but that shocking sight played in their minds over and over again. It was deeply imprinted into their souls!
