Chapter 427: Sweeping the Enemies
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek
The sound of a dragon was an extremely violent battling technique – shocking enough to shatter all nine heavens and ten hells. The howl of a phoenix was just the same – extremely powerful and had the ability to split open the sky.
These two attacks were famous in the cultivation community as the two most powerful sound attacks.
Since the history of time, there was a rumor in the Taoism community. The moment a dragon and a phoenix simultaneously howl, the sounds will merge and the strength of the attack will multiply.
To know that both the sound of a dragon and the howl of a phoenix are unimaginably strong. If they merge and their strength multiplies, then just how dominating will it be?
Of course, this rumor was only true for real dragons and real phoenixes. Despite this, one conclusion remains, when the sound of a dragon and a phoenix combine, their power will exponentially grow!
Before everyone's eyes, the dragon was howling and the phoenix was growling.
Even though the dragon's chant was mimicked by the zither and could not be considered a howl from a real dragon, it did not pale next to a real dragon's howl. Even though Feng Jiu Ge could not be considered a real phoenix, after its rebirth, its bloodline was rather pure.
Thus, the moment the dragon and the phoenix cried, the entire space shook.
The earth shattering sound of the dragon and the phoenix shocked the entire area and the mountains surrounding the battlefield crumbled!
"This is…"
The leader of the mysterious force was shaken to his core. He first glanced at the purely white phoenix, then glanced at Ling Xian. He lost his composure and croaked, "The dragon's chant and the phoenix's cry!"
The moment his voice trailed off, everyone's expression changed into a look of awe.
The rumor of how when the sound of a dragon and a phoenix combine, it multiplies, was something everyone had heard of. They linked the rumor to the crumbling mountains and were immediately shocked.
After moments of fright, the four clans revealed looks of ecstasy and hope. They originally had given up after seeing Ling Xian's heavy injuries. They didn't think he would be able to walk again.
The mysterious House fell into silence. All their arrogance and disdain froze on their faces. Only one thought flashed across their minds.
There was a chanting dragon and a crying phoenix, if the two supported each other, then how much power will be displayed?
These people were too afraid to continue imaging. Ling Xian's Song of the Crouching Dragon alone had made them break a sweat. Now there was a phoenix to help him. How could they not be afraid?
"Jiu Ge has arrived late. Please forgive me, Master."
In midair, a purely white phoenix transformed into a beautiful woman and kneeled before Ling Xian.
"You aren't late… ehem, ehem… your timing is perfect."
After coughing up some blood, Ling Xian manipulated his Golden Dan and suppressed the pain from his injuries. A war was happening before him, it was not the time to cure himself.
Seeing that Ling Xian was hurt, Feng Jiu Ge found it hard to conceal her shock and asked in a hurry, "Master, are you okay?"
"It's no matter. It won't affect my ability to fight." Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. Looking at the kneeling Feng Jiu Ge, the weight on his chest finally dropped.
Before his isolation, he had requested Feng Jiu Ge to come to the Trading Island through their bond. Now that she had finally arrived, he breathed in relief.
Feng Jiu Ge began to look at the group of people before her. Her body began to boil, "Master, these are the people who hurt you?"
"Yes, if you were late, my life would've ended here." Ling Xian smiled, "You are right on time. Let us link hands and send these people on their way."
"There is no need for you to make a move. I have reached the peak of the completion level, enough to defeat them." Feng Jiu Ge raised an eyebrow and did not want the injured Ling Xian to fight.
"I understand your good intentions. But it's better to end the war sooner than later. I cannot hold on much longer." Ling Xian shook his head softly. His injuries were bad and he knew that if he didn't end the war soon and began his healing process, he will be forever haunted by his injuries.
"Hmmph, it's as if you are already certain you will win."
After hearing Ling Xian and Feng Jiu Ge's conversation, the leader of the mysterious House hissed as his anger boiled. As a leader, he was at the peak of the completion level, who dared to underestimate him?
Before their eyes, Ling Xian and Feng Jiu Ge did not think highly of him at all. This of course angered him.
"Let reality speak." Ling Xian glared at him and began to manipulate his perfect Dan. He once again suppressed down his injuries in preparation to the battle that will happen soon.
"I have the same intention. I will let you witness soon, how stupid you and this phoenix have been."
The leader of the mysterious force was arrogant as he glared at Ling Xian and Feng Jiu Ge. However, he knew how strong the chant and the cry of a dragon and a phoenix were. Thus, he didn't dare to be reckless and called out to his House's array immediately.
"Array of the Galaxy! Go!"
Just then, the entire mountain range began to vibrate. One after one, ancient stars began to appear, each exuding enough power to destroy the mountain.
Seeing this, the remaining completion levelled cultivators each called out to their strongest techniques.
Staring at the cultivators who were about to attack, Ling Xian's eyes shone and murky Qi poured out of the Zither of the Crouching Dragon. Then, his slender hands placed on top of the zither and he uttered out a statement full of killer's intent.
"To die under the howl of my dragon and phoenix is not a humiliation. It is a fortune."
The leader of the mysterious House was infuriated at the statement. He called out to the stars and they began to crash towards Ling Xian!
"The last section of the Song of the Crouching Dragon… The Quaking Dragon Chant."
Ling Xian was emotionless as his fingers plucked at the strings. Immediately, the Zither exuded lights of all colors. An earth-shattering dragon's rumble appeared!
At the same time, the phoenix's lips parted and howled a cry that could be heard outside the universe!
The moment the chant of the dragon and the cry of the phoenix emerged, they formed a connection and merged together. Immediately, the power of it all increased exponentially and broke the collisions of the stars!
"Kill!"
After a loud shout, Ling Xian's hair became tussled and his 10 fingers crazily plucked at the zither. In an instant, the dragon's howl washed by like an endless wave!
Boom, boom, boom….
The dragon's chant was loud and the phoenix's cry was bright. With the support of one another, their power multiplied!
"Dammit, how dominating!"
The moment the ancient stars crumbled, the mysterious force became fazed. All the cultivators' expressions changed. They felt the horror of the dragon and the phoenix and felt as if the universe was about to shred into pieces.
"Kill!"
After another loud shout, the leader of the mysterious House was bathing in anger. He knew that he cannot let Ling Xian continue his playing. Thus, his body emitted heavenly light and the purple sword once again broke across the sky and aimed towards Ling Xian's throat.
"You have no chance of defeating me now the dragon and the phoenix have merged their cries!"
Against the killer's intent of the sword, Ling Xian's expression was calm. He plucked at all the strings on the zither and formed a crescent shape. Then, he slowly released. Immediately, the sound of the zither transformed into an aggressive ray of power that shot out!
HOOMMM!
The purple sword found it hard to block this attack and immediately shattered into pieces.
This forced out a mouthful of blood from the leader of the mysterious force. The way he looked at Ling Xian was somewhat shocked. But the situation had turned this way, and he had no way out.
"Kill!"
Yelling again, the leader of the mysterious force exploded with anger and terror. His Qi turned into a hammer and it smashed down from the sky!
Despite the heaviness of the hammer, it was no opponent to the dragon and the phoenix.
Clank.
Ling Xian's five fingers continued to pluck at the strings and the Qi from it immediately destroyed the hammer.
At the same time, Feng Jiu Ge parted her lips slightly and a bright phoenix cry carried across the sky!
No matter how hard the mysterious force tried to defend, they could not break the destruction carried by the phoenix. On the contrary, their clothes ripped and their blood boiled. Using all they could, they tried to defend against this sound wave with no strength left to attack.
This scene enraged the leader of the mysterious force, he gritted his teeth and became determined.
"Array of the Galaxy, explode!"
After a loud shout, this person formed a hand seal and concentrated all his power into the middle of his array.
In the next moment, extremely terrifying Qi crashed out and swept around. Mountains within a hundred miles were instantly crushed. Even the space was cracking open!
It wasn't hard to imagine how powerful this attack was.
"Leader Yan, prepare to defend."
Ling Xian frowned slightly but did not find everything too out of control. If this was before, he would've had to bear the collision of the stars and face his death. But now, the phoenix was here, why would he be afraid?
"Jiu Ge, send them on their way."
Ling Xian then played his zither and the dragon began to howl again.
Simultaneously, Feng Jiu Ge breathed in heavily and a cloud breaking phoenix cry roared!
At this very moment, the chant of the dragon and the cry of the phoenix merged into one. The power of it shattered all land within three thousand miles and suppress all nine heavens!
Hommmm, hommm, hommmm….
The dragon's chant was loud, the phoenix's cry was bright. This attack overpowered the array and destroyed all its power. On the contrary, the heavenly sounds did not lessen. The cultivators from the mysterious House began to bleed from their mouths, eyes, and nose.
"Explode!"
After uttering this cold word, Ling Xian once again pulled onto the strings until a crescent shape was formed. He then slowly released his fingers. Instantly, the sky split open and the mountain crumbled.
At the same time, the cultivators who were now bleeding exploded under this sound.
Even the mysterious leader faced the same fate. No matter how much he defended, he could not block out the sound of the dragon and the phoenix. His meridians were instantly broken!
At this moment, Ling Xian appeared like a descended Immortal who had enough power to suppress all living beings. A simple song he played was enough to shatter the mountains and end an entire army!
This was… truly undefeatable!
