Chapter 522 - Guqin Demon Snatches The Emperor Weapon By Force, Thousand Guqin Welcoming Him, Sorry
The moment the Yin Demon Guqin appeared, a dark and chilling surge of Daoist Rhyme immediately spread out. Suddenly, the surrounding temperature dropped to the freezing point.
As such, the guqin cultivators’ guqins were especially enveloped in a strange chill.
Some of the guqin cultivators’ fingers were also eroded by the chill, and they could not help themselves but fling their guqins away. They all looked at Guqin Demon and his guqin with horror.
“What kind of guqin is that? Why is it so weird and creepy?!”
“There’s something strange about that guqin!”
Only Li Changyin and some other sky-prides were able to resist that chill.
Nevertheless, even they could not help but look at Guqin Demon with fear.
“So this is Guqin Demon. Is that the rumored Yin Demon Guqin in his grasp? It’s truly extraordinary indeed.”
“That’s really scary.”
Guqin Demon’s cold gaze swept across everyone as he sneered. “So this is the best the world of guqin has to offer in this generation? Besides a handful of people, the rest of you are all useless trash!”
The crowd of guqin cultivators was slightly annoyed to hear what he said.
However, they could only bear it because of Guqin Demon’s strength. None was daring to show any sign of dissatisfaction at all.
The disdain in Guqin Demon’s eyes became stronger when he saw everyone’s attitude.
“Guqin Demon, why exactly are you here?” The Ji Clan Leader questioned loudly.
“Well, to get this Emperor Weapon to recognize its new master, of course.”
Guqin Demon grinned. He then looked at the Springtime Lightning and laughed. “For all these years, this is my first time coming across a Guqin Dao Emperor Weapon. How can I miss the opportunity to get such a wonderful guqin?!”
“You are not welcomed here!”
The Phantasmic Melody Sect Master uttered coldly.
No guqin cultivator could possibly be fond of someone like Guqin Demon.
Since the Seven Chord City was a hotspot for countless guqin cultivators, Guqin Demon’s presence was even more unwelcomed here.
“Since all of you can’t obtain the Emperor Weapon’s acknowledgment, why don’t I try? So what if you guys don’t welcome me? Do I look like I care about something trivial like that?”
“Brother Guqin Demon, just take your time and do what you need to do. You can leave them to me.”
Art Ghoul said with a smile.
He looked at the Ji Clan Leader and others with some slight disdain in his eyes.
After that, he took out the gigantic brush on his back and made a light stroke with it. A huge ink mark soon appeared in the void.
The ink mark spread out to form a scenery of mountains and rivers that spanned dozens of kilometers wide, dragging the Ji Clan Leader and two other Presidents into the world within that painting.
“Everyone, be careful.”
“Hmph, bring it on. Let’s see what the rumored Art Ghoul has in store for us.”
Just as the three Boundary Emperors began to deal with Art Ghoul, Guqin Demon had already made his move.
Looking at the Springtime Lightning before him, Guqin Demon’s fingers immediately started dancing rapidly on the Yin Demon Guqin.
Waves upon waves of creepy guqin music resounded, spreading as far as a kilometer away!
Upon hearing this sound, countless living beings held their heads and howled in pain as they felt like it was going to explode.
Even sky-prides like Li Changyin had no choice but to channel their spiritual power to resist the creepy guqin music.
Clang… Clang… Clang…
The dark and chilling guqin music reverberated through the void.
The Springtime Lightning nearby seemed to have felt the guqin music as well, and it started to tremble.
“Yes, that’s right. Just like that.”
“Submit to my power, dear Springtime Lightning, for I am the sole master who can unleash your full potential!”
Guqin Demon’s eyes were filled with a burning passion.
Just as he said, he had collected so many famous guqins over the years that there was no way he would give up the chance to obtain a Guqin Dao Emperor Weapon.
He had even started to imagine himself wiping entire battlefields with that Emperor Weapon.
“If this goes on, the Springtime Lightning will truly fall into Guqin Demon’s hands.”
Li Changyin and the others looked very grim at this sight.
“Hmph, if you want that Emperor Weapon, you’ll have to go through me first!”
Jian Changfeng suddenly let out a low cry as he unsheathed his sword and struck it out across the void.
A terrifying surge of sword qi poured out.
“Hmph, out of the way, little one!”
Guqin Demon snorted coldly and plucked one of the strings on his guqin, where a powerful surge of guqin music Daoist Rhyme erupted. It instantly shattered the incoming sword qi attack and sent Jian Changfeng flying hundreds of meters away.
“He’s strong!”
Jian Changfeng was shocked.
If that single wave of guqin music was already unbearable, his opponent’s strength must be much more powerful than his.
“If it weren’t for the sake of the Sword Tribe, that wave of guqin music would’ve killed you by now.”
Guqin Demon uttered coldly.
The others could not help but lament in silence. Coming from an influential background was indeed beneficial.
If it were someone else facing that attack just now, they would have been killed by the guqin music.
Guqin Demon’s power greatly shocked everyone present at the scene, and no one dared to interfere with him anymore.
“It seems like this Springtime Lightning doesn’t belong to us after all.”
Li Changyin had a slightly unpleasant look on his face.
“Guqin Demon is an extremely cruel and violent person. If he managed to obtain this Emperor Weapon today, there’s no telling what havoc he might wreak upon the common folk.”
Concern flashed in Yang Xiyun’s eyes.
She then looked towards the Ji Clan Leader and others who were battling Art Ghoul.
Art Ghoul was also incredibly powerful as he could still hold his own despite fighting three Boundary Emperors. In the world within his painting, ten million horrifying ghouls were wailing, depicting a terrifying scene from hell.
Although the three great Boundary Emperors had no problem battling him, they could not break free from the world within the painting for quite some time.
If Guqin Demon managed to obtain the Springtime Lightning Emperor Weapon by then, no one would ever be able to stop the both of them after that.
Hum…
At this time, a frightening surge of Emperor’s Aura erupted from the Emperor Weapon Springtime Lightning. Within thunder-like clang, terrifying sound waves spread outward.
Guqin Demon was sent flying several hundred meters by that powerful surge of energy.
After blasting Guqin Demon away, the Springtime Lightning returned to its usual calm once again.
Everyone was extremely shocked to witness that scene.
This was especially true for Guqin Demon, whose expression had turned very ugly by that point.
“You rejected me. Did you just reject me?!”
“In this world, who else could possibly deserve you besides me, Guqin Demon?!”
Guqin Demon roared at the Springtime Lightning.
Everyone else looked at each other, surprised that even Guqin Demon could not obtain the Emperor Weapon Springtime Lightning’s acknowledgment.
No matter how rotten Guqin Demon’s character or personality was, his level of cultivation in guqin music was unquestionable.
If he were to be ranked second in guqin Dao proficiency, no one would dare to claim first.
“Since you chose to not acknowledge me, then no one shall ever hope to obtain you!”
Guqin Demon rushed towards the Springtime Lightning with crazy eyes.
He wanted to obtain the Springtime Lightning by force.
Even if he could not gain its approval, he would hide it away so that no one else could.
Seemingly figuring out Guqin Demon’s intention, a jolt of lightning shot out from the Springtime Lightning’s blue body. It formed an air barrier that blocked Guqin Demon from getting to it.
As soon as Guqin Demon’s hand collided with the lightning, a boom resounded in the void.
Despite how powerful the Springtime Lightning was, it still could not unleash its full power as it lacked a master.
Guqin Demon’s hands continued to break through the lightning, reaching towards the Springtime Lightning.
However, at that moment, the sound of guqin music suddenly rang out.
Everyone froze. ‘Who dares to play the guqin at a time like this?!’
“No, that’s not right. That sound didn’t come from just one guqin alone.”
At that moment, everyone noticed something that shocked them beyond their words.
Every single guqin in their surroundings was seen playing on their own, and multiple melodies sounded at the same time.
“What’s going on?”
Li Changyin looked at his own guqin with surprise.
“Look. It’s him!!”
Everyone shifted their gazes into the near distance.
All they saw was a white-robed young man with black hair approaching them. He had an immeasurably vast and mysterious guqin music Daoist Rhyme emanating from his body. Wherever it went, it seemed like there was an invisible hand playing countless guqins in the surroundings. The guqin music it made sounded as if they were welcoming a supreme guqin master!!
Thousands of guqin welcomed him!!
“Sorry for being late.” Chu Kuangren looked at the Springtime Lightning nearby and chuckled. He spoke as if it was something that already belonged to him.
