Shock (1)

"Puff!"

Some soldiers, unable to bear it any longer, began vomiting blood and covered their ears in great pain.

"Huh?" Li Yue was a little surprised when she saw this. She didn't understand what was wrong with these soldiers, why they suddenly vomited blood, and why the others also seemed to be in a lot of pain.

At this moment, she looked at Ye Lang with some suspicion. Could it be that his playing was so bad that it made people want to vomit blood?

That's awful. If Ye Lang heard Li Yue's inner thoughts, I wonder if he'd vomit blood.

Regardless, Li Yue was certain that all of this was because of Ye Lang; he must have used some special method to make others behave that way.

At this moment, Li Yue felt that Ye Lang Alchemy Array on the ground was the key. An Alchemy Array appeared on the ground when Ye Lang was playing, which made her suspicious.

However, Li Yue's suspicions were wrong. The Alchemy Array on the ground was merely an aid, a means to amplify Ye Lang's zither music, allowing hundreds of thousands of people to hear it. The range was so vast that they could not escape.

This is a great enhancement. Originally, the range of this Sound Wave Skill attack was limited and it couldn't deal with so many people, but with the Alchemy Array, things are different.

"Puff..."

"Puff..."

More and more soldiers coughed up blood, knelt on the ground in agony, and cried out, "Stop firing!"

"It'll be quick, only twelve sections. After that, I'll perform 'Evening Song of the Fishing Boat' for you all for free..." Ye Lang said with a smile, but in the eyes of those hundreds of thousands of people, his smile was a devilish smile.

The sound of the Guzheng echoed across the plain, as did the soldiers' cries of pain as they coughed up blood. They rolled on the ground, pounding their heads in agony. The scene was like hell; anyone who saw it would surely think that a demon had descended upon the world.

Ye Lang closed his eyes, perhaps because he didn't want to see this scene, or perhaps because he had entered a state of selflessness and was completely absorbed in it.

The latter seems more likely, because the climax of the Guzheng music begins to rise one after another, continuously pushing the music to its peak...

This climax is what others most want to hear, but the soldiers now do not want it, because the climax will only bring them greater pain, that boundless pain.

Finally, someone fell down!

After that, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of people began to fall ill. Among them, in addition to those who died from the shock of the zither music, many more committed suicide because they could not bear the pain!

The pain that could drive even the most hardened soldier to suicide—one can only imagine the sheer agony it must have been!

"!!"

Li Yue watched the scene quietly, and the shock she felt was indescribable, perhaps even more shocking than the zither music.

Ye Lang, what kind of person are you? What amazing skills do you possess?!

Li Yue stared blankly at Ye Lang, somewhat mesmerized. It wasn't just the stunning scene that captivated her, but also Ye Lang's current state—his selfless state—that gave her a breathtakingly beautiful feeling.

The music has ended!

On this plain, there was no one left to stand. Except for Li Yue, all the hundreds of thousands of members of the Greedy Wolf Legion had fallen to the ground, their fate unknown.

This scene was so shocking, and if ten people found out about it later, what a huge shock it would cause!

That's unimaginable...

"Alright, let's clean up the mess!" After releasing Li Yue's pressure points, Ye Lang clapped his hands and prepared to clean up the battlefield.

At this moment, Li Yue knew that Ye Lang wasn't going to check who was still alive. That wasn't important to him. He hadn't come here to fight the Greedy Wolf Legion; he was just passing through.

I was just passing by!

If the Greedy Wolf Legion understood that Ye Lang and his companion were merely passing by, and that this was all their own doing to provoke them, they would be so enraged that they would commit seppuku!

Even if the goddess told them that Ye Lang and his companion were just passing by and that they didn't have to suffer such heavy casualties, they still wouldn't believe it, because the price they paid was too high.

Will they blame themselves for this cost? Of course not. Even if Ye Lang didn't do it on purpose and was just passing by, they will make Ye Lang bear the consequences.

Getting back to the main point, Ye Lang naturally needed to collect the metals after cleaning up the battlefield. He used a large-scale alchemy technique to collect all the metals in a short time.

After using this alchemy, Ye Lang immediately softened. He took a pill and then lay down on the Little Lion.

"... You're such a reckless idiot. At a time like this, you dare to waste your energy like this. Aren't you afraid of something going wrong?" Li Yue knew what was wrong with Ye Lang when she saw this.

"Isn't it you I have here?" Ye Lang said weakly.

"..." Li Yue was stunned. She didn't expect Ye Lang to trust her so much. However, she liked this feeling. Even if it cost her life, she would protect him.

At this moment, Li Yue had long forgotten that she had been kidnapped by Ye Lang. This matter had become unimportant, not important at all.

"Ye Lang, what did you do before? Why did they act like this? Is it related to your piano playing?" Li Yue asked after a while.

At this moment, she was already sitting on the Little Lion's back, and the Little Lion started running wildly again.

"Yes! That's a technique that uses sound as a weapon. It's a terrifying technique. I won't use it unless absolutely necessary!" Ye Lang replied weakly.

"You can wipe out hundreds of thousands of people all by yourself, that's truly terrifying!" Li Yue exclaimed. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it.

What she didn't expect was that this wasn't Ye Lang's limit. It turned out Ye Lang could be even more terrifying, because he said one sentence—

"This is just using 'High Mountain Flowing Water'; if it were 'Guangling Melody,' it would be even more terrifying!"

"..."

Late at night, an urgent document disturbed Zhao Yarou's sleep. She wanted to kill the person who woke her up because girls get wrinkles and age faster if they don't get enough sleep.

If that's the case, then wouldn't I be older than that idiot?!

When Zhao Yarou finished reading the document, her sleepiness immediately vanished. "This... this... immediately convene an emergency court session and order Grand Marshal Li and all ministers of the Military Affairs Department to be present!!"

That night, the ministers were all woken up from their beds. Some were still in the throes of passion and wanted to curse, but when they heard that it was Zhao Yarou's decree, they immediately dressed and rode in carriages to the Imperial Palace.
