After You Lian'er's zither began to sound, a trace of puzzlement crossed Huang Xiao's face. Its power was far too weak to affect anyone. Even he could withstand it easily.
He had originally thought You Lian'er would play the Netherworld Demon Eight Tones outright. That was truly the music of ghosts and gods. He believed that probably no one present could withstand it easily, not even those Peerless Experts.
Right, You Lian'er is posing as Zhang Pu's daughter at the moment. Does she not want to expose her identity? Huang Xiao wondered.
After all, the Netherworld Demon Eight Tones was one of the You Family's supreme arts. Once she used it, You Lian'er's identity would probably come under suspicion.
Still, Huang Xiao knew that You Lian'er did not intend to step in directly to help him, so he would have to deal with the woman before him himself.
After gauging the zither music's effect on her, Consort Ying quickly relaxed her slightly furrowed brows. She could not help sneering inwardly. The music barely affected her at all. From You Lian'er's tone earlier, she had thought there might be something to it. As it turned out, it was all an empty shell, nothing but a bluff. Of course, she remained wary. The other woman might be deliberately feigning weakness, but no matter how powerful the music became, it could not affect her.
Consort Ying hesitated no longer. She tapped her toes against the ground and shot toward Huang Xiao. With a flick of her sword, countless sword shadows stabbed toward the vital points all over his body.
Huang Xiao's expression grew grave. Consort Ying's power had clearly risen considerably. Earlier, she had been testing his strength; now, she had begun to unleash her full power.
Bong! Just as Consort Ying's sword
