First Trial of Sound Attacks

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

The sound of a flute suddenly arose.

A phantom image of Zhou Yuncheng was torn to shreds by the sharp sound waves, and a terrified real person appeared not far away.

Qin Yi's swift and deadly attacks caught Zhou Yuncheng, who hadn't faced a real opponent in a long time, off guard. They were used to using various underhanded tactics, and their practical combat experience was indeed limited.

Qin Yi and Ju Yunxiu were determined to kick Zheng Yunyi out of the game mainly because of this; if the opponent were Zheng Yunyi, the difficulty would increase many times over.

However, Zhou Yuncheng was ultimately one of the best disciples of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, and he quickly reacted, casually tossing out a piece of tortoise shell.

The tortoise shell rapidly expanded into a phantom image, and a huge Divinatory Symbol appeared Qin Yi's feet.

The Divinatory Symbol: Heaven and Earth in Opposition (否).

If the person is not a virtuous person, it will be detrimental to the upright and honest man; the great will depart and the small will arrive.

Qin Yi was surprised to find himself bound, with the heavens and earth around him disconnected, showing signs of a break in yin and yang, making it difficult to circulate Spiritual Qi, as if Heaven and Earth Prison.

No, it is not feasible. In times of obstruction, the ways of the petty person flourish, hence the term "unworthy person." The ways of the virtuous person decline, therefore it is not favorable for the virtuous person to be steadfast.

Very bad omen.

His flute playing became much weaker, and even the transmission of sound waves was hindered.

An interesting divination method that uses virtual Divinatory Symbol to create a negative state?

"Good divination. Senior Brother Zhou, take my Ten Thousand Swords Technique!" Qin Yi took out a scroll. The Sword Qi in the painting was concealed, its sharpness subtly revealed. Unrolling the scroll, ten thousand swords were unleashed simultaneously, breaking through the Divinatory Symbol, and flying towards Zhou Yuncheng in an overwhelming barrage.

Zhou Yuncheng was just casting some kind of offensive Technique Method, but before it could be fully formed, a myriad of cold lights appeared before his eyes. Terrified, he turned into a phantom again and appeared in another direction.

All the swords missed their mark, and Zhou Yuncheng's Technique Method dissipated.

Qin Yi tilted his head, not feeling any regret at all, but rather finding it quite interesting.

Qin Yi has seen quite a few "mages" by now. From Qingxu, who could only stand still at the beginning, to witnessing Minghe's "Formless Transformation", the mage's combat tactics have finally evolved from standing still to being elusive and unpredictable, no longer just a "turret" concept.

This Zhou Yuncheng's Movement Method was somewhat similar to Minghe's Formless Transformation, but not as ingenious. Minghe's Movement Method was as unpredictable as stars when she flashed and as unpredictable as the Milky Way when she advanced, extremely elegant and mysterious.

Zhou Yuncheng's Movement Method were highly crafted, and Qin Yi was able to pinpoint the direction of his true form's landing. Although both Minghe and Zhou Yuncheng's Movement Method were derived from the Dao of Heavenly Secrets Divination, they were likely based on the "Lingbo Microstep" style derived from the Sixty-Four Trigrams, but their levels of skill were fundamentally different, and the difference in aesthetics was even more pronounced.

At this moment, the Divinatory Symbol that had trapped Qin Yi weakened considerably, and Qin Yi began to play the flute again.

The sound surged like a tidal Gungun, and Zhou Yuncheng realized that it was no longer a physical sound wave, but a vibration of his Qi and Blood. It was as if his own blood was being stirred by the rhythm of the sound, surging and churning. His internal Law Power surged and raged, and his heart was filled with restlessness and frustration. He just wanted to vent his anger and roar wildly.

The Music Sect piece "Raging Sea Shocking Waves" is a resonant piece; if there is a difference in skill, it can cause the opponent to explode in an instant.

Such resonance and synergy are meaningless no matter how you dodge or what Movement Method you use, as long as you can hear it.

Zhou Yuncheng laboriously pulled out another piece of tortoise shell, surrounding himself with it to form some unknown Divinatory Symbol, protecting the space around him and preventing the music from easily intruding. Meanwhile, Qin Yi's music grew even more urgent, like a raging sea roaring, the sky and earth changing color, torrential rain pouring down, howling winds, and towering turbid waves.

"Pfft!" Zhou Yuncheng finally spat out a mouthful of blood, his heart filled with horror.

This is definitely one of the core secret techniques of the Music Sect. Qin Yi has only been a disciple for a short time, Ju Yunxiu has already taught him this technique.

And you still say you have no personal feelings for each other!

What angered him most was that he could hear Qin Yi's mockery in the music, as if to say: You are too weak.

That's right, conveying your feelings through music is a basic skill; you don't need to use words to get angry at someone.

Zhou Yuncheng was not weak; his Qin Xin cultivation was at the eighth level, higher than Qin Yi's. But for some reason, he seemed to be suppressed in every aspect. Qin Yi's cultivation quality was relatively high, but it wasn't high enough to surpass him by four minor levels.

The most crucial issue is Zhou Yuncheng's lack of practical experience. He can't make the most accurate response immediately, and he doesn't know how to use his many skills effectively. By the time he has to think before he makes a choice, he is already at a disadvantage.

Qin Yi doesn't have much actual combat experience, but he has been venturing into the Demon City and experiencing life and death since he was a rookie in the early days of the Phoenix Clan, and he has gained experience from walking out of the Blood Sea. Once he faces an enemy, his mind is as calm as still water.

Zhou Yuncheng was not a threat to him at all; what he had been waiting for all along was...

"Clang!" The sound of gongs striking each other suddenly came from behind, breaking his music.

Zhou Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief as a huge Tai Chi phantom crashed down on Qin Yi. The Sixty-Four Trigrams flickered at the edge of the Tai Chi, and it was unknown what the effect would be if it hit.

At the same time, a strong wind swept in from behind, its sharp force heading straight for my neck.

Qin Yi's eyes were icy cold. He shifted his feet and retreated, his tone suddenly changing to one of ruthless ferocity and unparalleled rage.

It was as if the earth was shaking violently, or as if the mountains were collapsing. Terrifying sound waves spread out and roared, turning the surrounding grass, trees, soil and rocks into dust.

Ultimate move: The Heaven Collapse!

The illusory Tai Chi symbol in front of him was completely dissipated by the flute music, and the tortoise shell that Zhou Yuncheng had raised in front of him looked as if it had been slashed by countless swords, its surface covered with countless wounds and was unrecognizable.

Zhou Yuncheng's expression changed drastically in shock.

At the same time, a series of clanging sounds rang out behind Qin Yi, like pearls falling onto a jade plate.

Qin Yi slowly turned around and saw a monk behind him holding a pair of Copper Bowl, waving them up and down so tightly that they blocked all the violent sound waves.

Qin Yi suddenly thought that sound actually has a medium for propagation, so although it seems invisible and formless, it can actually be blocked. If you were to learn from those cunning old tricksters, first playing a gentle tune, and then suddenly vibrating the sound waves as they reach someone's ears when they are off guard, wouldn't even gods be killed by such trickery?

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant, and Qin Yi said with a smile, "Master of Great Joy Temple, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The reason he kept using range sound waves was to test where the monk was hiding. He had already found him back when he played the "Raging Sea" piece. This piece, "The Heaven Collapse," was actually aimed at this monk.

The biggest advantage of sonic attacks is that they are not afraid of group battles. No matter how many people are on the other side, it doesn't matter. There is no difference between being in front of or behind you.

The monk and Zhou Yuncheng sandwiched Qin Yi between them, and Zhou Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although sound attacks can naturally target multiple enemies, Qin Yi was ultimately just one person. How could he defend himself when he was attacked from both sides?

The monk raised his sword in front of him, his expression solemn, and said, "When you killed my Outer Sect disciple, you were just a low-level cultivator who had not yet reached the level of Qin Xin."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Not bad."

"Benefactor, you have studied my Great Joy Paradise Sutra and are therefore connected to Buddhism. That Ju Yunxiu is of unparalleled beauty; we know you are captivated by her but cannot have her. If you are willing to become a disciple of our Buddha, we will help you obtain her. What do you say?"

Seeing Qin Yi's rapid progress, these charlatans were tempted to abduct him again—a standard tactic.

"Do I look like an idiot to you?" Qin Yi chuckled and asked Zhou Yuncheng, "Hey, you've openly colluded with the Great Joy Temple. Now the evidence is irrefutable."

Zhou Yuncheng said seriously, "This master is only here to investigate clues about the murder of the Outer Sect disciple. He spoke kindly to you, junior brother. Whether you listen to him or not is your business, what does it have to do with me?"

Qin Yi asked curiously, "If I were to fight him, would you mean to help me, Senior Brother?"

Zhou Yuncheng smiled and said, "Of course. However, this master is a Martial Cultivation, and I have little experience with him, so please be careful, junior brother."

"Alright." Qin Yi slowly put away his flute. "I would appreciate it if you could cover for me, Senior Brother."

While Qin Yi and Zhou Yuncheng were talking Copper Bowl monk silently slashed towards Qin Yi's waist, just as Qin Yi had put away his flute. Zhou Yuncheng's smile widened, as if he were looking at a fool.

Using Martial Cultivation to deal with Law Technique practitioners will reveal that it's not the case at all. This junior brother must have gone mad from playing music...

With a deafening clang, a Wolf Tooth Club appeared in Qin Yi's hand. He slammed it heavily onto the Copper Bowl, leaving a dent on its surface.

The monk's eyes didn't even bulge out.

Qin Yi swung the stick, a sinister grin on his face. Beneath his blue robe, one could clearly see the bulging biceps on his arms, as thick as his thighs. "So what if you're Martial Cultivation..."

Zhou Yuncheng was dumbfounded. This is totally not right!

Where is that refined gentleman who used music to attack the enemy?
