Chapter 1861 (Raw 1873): Beauties Falling from the Sky

Two strands of saber light swept out.

These strands of saber light immediately tore through the ferocious waves of the torrential sound wave attack without losing any might.

The two infused their wills of soul and their Saber Dao’s Great Dao Energy into their saber strikes.

As a result, when they swung their sabers, the two produced a fearsome might.

The two strands of saber light were like two blazing suns, competing in brightness in the night sky and illuminating this dark world.

Charge!

Above the fortress ship, the two broke through the sound wave attacks created by hundreds of instruments. Their auras flourished as they quickly descended towards the fortress ship.

The two’s thoughts were straightforward. The attacks of the Music Dao were of pure sound and not very strong.

The strength was in the song arrangement. If the two could not break the other party’s rhythm, then it would be quite problematic when the song from the fortress ship rang out endlessly.

Even if the two were very capable, they would be helpless.

In fact, the two would be deeply trapped in the song, unable to pull themselves out and escape.

Without needing to communicate, the two knew what decision to make. There was only one choice: quickly end the battle at all costs.

The pretty woman in the fortress ship was the lead headliner of the Soaring Dragon City’s Smiling Daughter Pavilion. Her stage name was once Qiu Xue, and now she was known as Headliner Xue.

At this moment, the two saber lights already tore through the sound waves and crashed into the fortress ship.

“Boom!”

The saber lights clashed intensely with the protective barrier of the fortress ship. The entire fortress ship shook amid rumbling.

Several instruments fell over, and that many women with exquisite figures felt dizzy and panicked.

“Ding!” At the crucial moment, Headliner Xue, sitting in the top deck of the ship, quickly strummed her fingers across her instrument.

A unique, tinkling melody rang out. In one breath of time, Headliner Xue played more than a hundred notes with dazzling speed.

The flustered women in the fortress ship quickly calmed their emotions. Then, picking up Headliner Xue’s song, they started to play their instruments in accompaniment.

“One song of an intoxicated, beautiful woman, asking the gentleman where she could seek a soul mate. One song of the cold autumn water; who says that the scene of spring surpasses that of the autumn wind filling the air with falling leaves and flowers of various colors? One song of heartbreak; the flowers wilt and fly about the sky, the redness fades, and the fragrance disappears; who will take pity? One song of great sadness; the past is recollected from the start; as the one makes paper cuttings, one sees their thinning shadow cast from the lantern’s light; even the red conch starts to worry; do you still remember the brightly colored clothes worn under the bright moon?”

“…”

As all kinds of instruments played, Headliner Xue used her voice, which sounded like that of nature, to sing a song of extreme sorrow.

“It’s the Death of the Young Beauty!”

“This is one of the Azure Lotus Fairy’s legendary divine songs! Headliner Xue is truly incredible. Despite the situation, she remained calm. Not only did she block the auras of the Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo, but she even dealt a beautiful counterattack. She is truly incredible.”

“This song is really very pleasing to the ear. Headliner Xue truly lives up to being the dynasty’s capital’s queen of flowers back then. She can casually sing a legendary divine song, bringing out sincere emotions and excellent skills. She is truly admirable.”

“As long as Headliner Xue can delay them for a while, it does not matter whether the Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo can break this song or not. The warships of the other factions will surround them, and the Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo will definitely die.”

The Ghostly Shadow Bandit turned into two people for some reason, so the cultivators had to change their nickname to reflect this.

Of course, this was not a good nickname: the Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo.

“We cannot continue like this. In the next wave, the song will become even more intense. We will definitely die for sure.”

Headliner Xue played the Death of the Young Beauty on her guzheng, immediately blocking the attack of Xiao Chen and Jiang He. In the end, they could not board the fortress ship.

[TL Note: The guzheng is similar to the zither but larger.]

On the contrary, the two even suffered significant injuries. The sound waves injured both the mind and body. These sound waves, which were infused with Soul Energy, caused invisible damage to the internal organs.

This was even more so for the mind and soul.

The clothes of the two immediately became dyed red with blood from the wounds inflicted by the sound waves.

This showed how sharp, dense, and broad the sound waves were, extremely horrifying.

Up at the top deck of the fortress ship, Headliner Xue’s ten fingers moved continuously, looking illusory as she drove the melody of the song coming from the entire ship.

Combined with the formations in the fortress ship, Headliner Xue brought out the might of the Death of the Young Beauty to its limits.

Right now, Headliner Xue did not just want to block the two. She even wanted to deal with the Ghostly Shadow Bandit and take back the Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s missing Fairy Basket.

It might just be a replica, but if the Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s competitors obtained it, they might be able to make a similar treasure.

That was a significant problem and worry for the Smiling Daughter Pavilion.

Just as the melody changed, Xiao Chen and Jiang He exchanged looks, each with a plan in mind.

Xiao Chen instantly executed the Dragon Tone Art. Invisible Dragon Might gathered in his chest and formed a vast whirlpool.

At this moment, he activated thirty percent of his Azure Dragon bloodline, amplifying that Dragon Might whirlpool.

The wind and clouds above suddenly changed, surging chaotically. The invisible Dragon Qi formed an enormous dragon head above.

The instant Xiao Chen opened his mouth, he let out a terrifying dragon roar.

On the other side, Jiang He roared at the same time as Xiao Chen.

Jiang He used another kind of dragon tone Secret Technique. Compared to Xiao Chen’s spirited roar, his roar was sharper and covered less area. However, it was more focused.

“Boom!”

The two dragon roars worked together. Jiang He’s dragon roar pierced the fortress ship’s protective barrier. Xiao Chen’s vast spirited dragon roar followed up and swept through the entire fortress ship.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Immediately, the dragon roar lashed all of the instruments on the fortress ship. The strings on the zithers snapped, the flutes exploded, and the musicians all vomited blood due to the extreme rebound.

Xiao Chen and Jiang He took the opportunity to land on the deck.

“Whoosh!”

Cold lights flickered continuously. The musicians on the ship did not just sit still and wait for death. They all drew out cold, sharp swords from their instruments and lunged towards Xiao Chen and Jiang He.

The two faced their enemies.

Opposing Veritable Essence Energies circulated in Xiao Chen’s body, and the Taiji force field appeared.

Through the Thunder Dragon Nine Transformations, Xiao Chen’s figure flickered. Those who came to block him could not last even one move.

After losing their instruments, the musicians’ combat prowess definitely decreased significantly. Their close-combat skills were not up to even one move from the enemy.

On the other side, Jiang He seemed even swifter.

As Jiang He’s figure flickered, he left behind mysterious and unfathomable black shadows. He was so fast that no one could find his true body.

This was how the nickname Ghostly Shadow Bandit had come about.

It was not only that. Jiang He’s saber light was even more tyrannical. His saber had a berserk aura, and when he attacked, he showed no mercy.

The musicians who were stuck all received heavy injuries, instantly losing their combat prowess.

After about fifteen minutes, the two stood next to each other once again. Among the musicians, only Headliner Xue remained standing on the top deck of the fortress ship.

“You!”

Seeing the many severely injured musicians on the ship, Headliner Xue trembled in anger. She never expected such a situation to occur.

Not only did she fail to capture the Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo, but all the girls on her side also ended up severely injured.

Furthermore, this outcome was only because Xiao Chen and Jiang He were not bloodthirsty murderers. Otherwise, none would have survived.

This situation stunned Headliner Xue. She said sullenly, “You both have to die!”

After saying that, she took out the original Fairy Basket, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s Soul Tool.

“Whoosh!”

However, Xiao Chen was ready for that. He managed to nock an arrow in advance and release it.

The arrow that the God Shadow Bow shot moved at lightning speed, catching the Holy Venerate Headliner Xue off guard and pinning her to the fortress ship.

The Fairy Basket fell out of her hand; she did not get a chance to use it.

Xiao Chen’s arrow sought only speed; he had not infused much Soul Energy into it. Otherwise, Headliner Xue would not have ended up just like this; she would have died on the spot.

“Whoosh!”

Xiao Chen’s figure flashed, and he arrived on the crow’s-nest of the fortress ship. Then, he pulled out the arrow.

Immediately, blood spurted out. Headliner Xue’s pale complexion looked bloodless. She was haggard, her soul and body both severely injured.

Xiao Chen raised his foot and kicked the Fairy Basket into the air. After catching it, he returned it to Headliner Xue.

Startled screams kept rising from the fortress ship as Jiang He skillfully tossed down the many beautiful women.

These women that were tossed off were in no danger of dying or falling to their deaths.

Although the Ghostly Shadow Bandit had stolen countless treasures, he did not delight in killing. He only lived in defiance of convention, without malicious intentions.

“Hahaha! Beauties are falling from the sky. Catch them!”

Smiling, Jiang He tossed down the many beautiful women from the fortress ship, causing the people below to exclaim in excitement.

“Damn! There really are women falling from the sky. They are the Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s musicians!”

“They are all great beauties! Quickly! Quickly! Grab them and bring them home to be wives. Hahaha!”

“What’s the rush? They are all musicians of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. Do you really dare to snatch them away?”

“What do you know? Haven’t you heard of saving the beauty as a hero and the beauty offering herself in return? Damn! Stop blocking me!”

“Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo, quickly, quickly, quickly! Toss a few more down!”

This action triggered a huge commotion among the thousands of cultivators below.

Thousands of cultivators soared into the night sky, waiting for the beauties to be tossed down from the fortress ship. This was a rare encounter for them, something that might not happen even once in a millennium.

“You are shameless, despicable, hoodlums…”

As Headliner Xue gripped the Fairy Basket, she pointed at the two. Poignant tears flowed on her face as she scolded, trembling in anger.

However, before Headliner Xue could finish, she let out a startled cry. Jiang He had picked her up and tossed her down as well.

“Stop messing around. I’ll cover the rear. You go to the control room!” Xiao Chen said from the crow’s-nest. Then, he drew his bow, looking at the somewhat distant warships coming over.

“Hehe! Roger that.”

Jiang He dusted his hands off and tossed down the final two beauties. Then, he rushed to the control room.
