Chapter 196 - Zither Princess (2)

Before they could chat, the zither music suddenly changed from a melodious tune to murderous.

Amidst the fluctuations of the voice, countless blood-red points of light shot over.

Then, it kept growing larger, turning into ferocious and violent dire beast blood shadows that bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they bit at the two of them.

“This is a Blood Soul Beast. Its attack methods are a little strange. It can separate and absorb the energy in the enemy’s soul.”

Mei Ji hurriedly reminded him.

Zhou Han nodded and checked the attributes of these Blood Soul Beasts.

[Blood Soul Beast]

[Level: 100]

[Health: 1,000,000]

[Attack: 303,000]

[Defense: 109,000]

[Weapon: Soul Catcher Talisman]

[Skills: Soul Absorption, Bloodthirsty Bite, Blood Soul Technique, Voice of Slaughter.]

[Equipment: Blood Soul Armor]

[Status: Soul Body]

As expected, there were no weak creatures in the ruins of the Imperial Palace. All of their attributes were very powerful.

Moreover, it was in a soul state. If it were anyone else, they might not be easy to deal with.

However, Zhou Han had a skill that specialized in dealing with souls—[Dark Soul Blood Claw].

“Roar! Voice of Slaughter. Everyone must die!”

“Soul Absorption, become my puppet!”

“Roar! I’m going to tear you to pieces!”

…

Countless Blood Soul Beasts attacked, roaring hoarsely with extraordinary power. Half the sky was dyed blood-red.

The air was filled with the violent aura of slaughter.

He released all kinds of skills, wanting to kill Zhou Han, this intruder.

Zhou Han was unmoved and directly used the [Dark Soul Blood Claw]. In an instant, a huge blood claw appeared in the air. This was the sharp claw of the Dark Tyrant.

With a light grab, the blood soul beasts that filled the sky turned into nothingness.

However, an even sharper zither sound came and instantly dispersed the blood claw.

Zhou Han frowned. Although he did not see the person, a simple move revealed something unusual.

He felt an extremely threatening force in it.

“Hey! You’re not my soulmate. Please leave!”

A sigh came from the Melody Pavilion. It was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman.

The words were filled with endless sorrow and loneliness. The entire space was instantly filled with sorrow.

“Hiss! So strong!”

Zhou Han was unconsciously infected by this sadness.

This was the first time he had encountered such a strange situation.

“Boohoo! I’m so sad!”

Mei Ji was already sobbing softly. Clearly, she had been tricked.

Being proficient in illusions, her soul and mental strength naturally far exceeded ordinary people, but she was still affected.

It was obvious how strange it was.

What was even more terrifying was that Zhou Han did not even see the other party’s shadow now.

Slap!

“Wake up!”

Zhou Han slapped again and shouted.

“Ah!”

“What’s wrong with me? Why am I crying?” Mei Ji woke up and realized something was wrong.

Zhou Han found it a little funny and told her the situation. He also asked, “How much do you know about the Melody Pavilion?”

“This… I’m sorry, Master. I don’t know much?” Mei Ji said awkwardly.

“According to a lot of intelligence, the probability of danger here is very low. That’s why we chose this place.”

The premise of everything was to ensure that her life was not in too much danger.

“Yes, that’s good. Stand here and wait for me. I’ll go over and take a look!”

Since he was here, Zhou Han naturally did not want to give up halfway. He reminded them and walked forward.

Mei Ji had lost all her cultivation and could not help much. If there was danger, Zhou Han might not be able to take care of himself, let alone protect her.

“I told you, you’re not my soulmate!”

“If you dare move forward again, don’t blame me for being heartless!”

The ethereal voice instantly became extremely cold and emotionless.

However, Zhou Han turned a deaf ear. He had three chances to die in place of others.

Naturally, he would not be frightened by such simple words. What if the other party was just bluffing?

If he didn’t give it a try, he would never know the outcome.

At most, he would waste a substitute opportunity. When he saw that the situation was not right, he would slip away.

“Since you’re obstinate and won’t listen to reason, stay here forever!”

The cold voice was emotionless. Killing intent burst out and sentenced Zhou Han to death.

“Hehe, you sure know how to brag! You’re pretending to be mysterious. If you have the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one.”

“What moves do you have? Use them! I’ll take them.”

Zhou Han deliberately provoked, wanting to find a flaw.

This was because he still could not sense the other party’s exact location even after activating the [Wave Sight].

This way, the enemy would be in the dark and he would be in the light. He would be at a disadvantage.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

There was no other response. The sound of three strings came out, turning into three golden arrows.

It tore through the sky and shot toward Zhou Han with a fierce aura.

“Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield!”

Because he could not see the other party’s figure, he naturally could not check his attribute data.

Zhou Han did not hesitate and directly used his defense skill.

-18,059,000

-17,998,000

-18,003,000

“Crack, crack, crack!”

He dealt more than 50 million damage in an instant, and a few spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the Golden Bell Shield.

“As expected, it’s an expert!”

Zhou Han’s expression froze. This was the first time he had encountered an opponent with such high damage.

However, he was still a little short of shattering.

Zhou Han now had nearly 1.7 million HP. With 40 times the HP of the Golden Bell Shield, he could withstand 68 million damage.

“Huh! I didn’t expect you to have some skills!”

The ethereal voice carried a hint of surprise as if it did not expect Zhou Han to be able to withstand her damage.

“But that’s all! Next, you’ll face my sharpest attack.”

With that, the expert emitted a fast and high-frequency sound effect.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

…

“Three feet of the zither, ten thousand arrows fired at once!”

Dense arrows covered the sky and contained an endless violent aura.

The torn space was bound to kill Zhou Han.

“Master! Be careful!” Mei Ji was frightened by this huge commotion and shouted anxiously.

“Oh my God! This is the expert just now. He actually provoked the Zither Princess!”

“That’s too brave! Rumor has it that she’s the daughter of the Soul Control Sovereign.”

“What, you know such secrets?”

“Hehe, of course. I’m in the most powerful faction in the Firmament Imperial City. There’s nothing I don’t know.”

“Then why is she here?”

“This is just a wisp of her obsession. She waited endlessly in the Melody Pavilion just to find her soulmate.”

“Are you sure you’re looking for a soulmate and not a husband?”

“Damn, the thought of becoming the son-in-law of the Soul Control Sovereign is exciting!”

…

This zither music was not ordinary. It was simply deafening. It naturally attracted the attention of the people nearby.

Some people from large factions revealed the origins of the Zither Princess.

Everyone was shocked. They did not expect the existence in the Melody Pavilion to have such a powerful background.

“This person is overestimating himself. Even if he doesn’t die from these arrows, he’ll be severely crippled!”

“He probably didn’t know what was going on inside and barged in.”

“This is the daughter of the Soul Control Sovereign. Even a wisp of obsession is not something mortals can deal with.”

“Hahaha! Didn’t he obtain a treasure just now? It was originally hopeless, but now that he’s courting death, he’ll find a chance to attack and snatch the treasure back.”

…

This group of people had different thoughts as their eyes flashed. They paid close attention to the situation on the battlefield and were prepared to attack at any time.

Under normal circumstances, they could not snatch the treasure themselves, but they were certain that Zhou Han would face the Zither Princess’s attack.

Even if he didn’t die, he would be crippled. Killing and robbing people like this was easy.
