When Ye Xiu took out the reverse dragon zither, although Chen Wukong's expression changed, he did not ultimately believe that Ye Xiu was really a zither cultivator.
One must know that Ye Xiu had already exhibited the abilities of a swordsman, martial artist, and even more so, an array master. Any one of these reaching Ye Xiu's level could be considered a stunning genius blessed by the heavens.
A person's energy is ultimately limited. It would have been impossible for him to simultaneously cultivate all three of these, let alone adding the zither on top of it all.
How could this be possible?
Under the heavens, even the nine great holy lands would never have such a freakish person.
It was already quite impressive for someone to master just one area. Although Ye Xiu had grasped three skills, which was extremely abnormal, Chen Wukong would rather die than believe that Ye Xiu was truly a zither cultivator.
Chen Wukong looked down from above, wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth. Hovering in midair, overlooking from above, he looked at Ye Xiu and sneered, "Just taking out a broken zither, you want to scare me? I can fly through the air, but you cannot. As you are now, you absolutely cannot be my match."
The ability to fly was Chen Wukong's greatest reliance.
Ye Xiu smiled sinisterly. Whether or not he was a zither cultivator, there was no need to make a judgment so early.
"Ridiculous!" Chen Wukong shouted coldly. His spear shot out like a dragon, spiraling in midair and transforming into a huge cyclone of spear shadows enveloping the air above Ye Xiu.
After all, Ye Xiu was only at the Stellar Stream realm and could not fly. Without the assistance of any arrays, he had no means to launch a ranged attack.
Whereas Chen Wukong was already at the Stellar Aperture realm. He was fully capable of attacking Ye Xiu from afar.
Even if one strike could not kill Ye Xiu, relying on the endless star power he could draw from his Stellar Aperture, he could still exhaust Ye Xiu to death.
"Spear Shadow Cyclone!"
Chen Wukong roared violently. In the next moment, the enormous cyclone seemed to tear apart the void itself as it plunged directly toward Ye Xiu!
The spear shadows whipped up a storm that wreaked havoc aggressively, sharp to the extreme, seemingly wanting to pierce through everything.
Ye Xiu's mouth hooked into a smirk, yet his expression remained utterly calm.
Before him, a zither score unfurled.
Seeing this, Chen Wukong's face twitched slightly. Damn, what was this guy doing? Grasping zither techniques on the spot? Nonsense! Was there even such a playstyle?
He saw with widened eyes that Ye Xiu merely glanced at the zither score in front of him, with just a single look!
In the next moment, Ye Xiu's slender fingers plucked at the zither strings.
Ding dang dang.
A burst of zither music resonated in an instant.
The moment the zither sound appeared, Chen Wukong's expression drastically changed.
From his eyes could be seen incredulous shock and disbelief!
This, this f*cking was zither intent!
Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, it should be Lesser Completion zither intent!
This guy really was a zither cultivator!
Chen Wukong's worldview collapsed in an instant!
Ye Xiu, martial artist, swordsman, array master, and even more a zither cultivator!
It was as if he had seen and heard the most inconceivable thing happening right before his eyes! Witnessed with his own eyes, heard with his own ears, truly occurring in front of him!
The zither music was chaotic, but the momentum and artistic conception were growing stronger with violent rampancy!
He really was comprehending zither techniques, and the power of those zither techniques was madly increasing at a visually discernible speed!
This f*cking abnormality!
Chen Wukong's gaze looked as if he had seen a devil!
In just a fleeting moment,
An enormous tiger emerged in midair!
Materialized by the zither intent was a giant tiger.
Mysterious Tier Middle Grade zither technique, Tiger Howl to the Mountain!
The massive tiger suddenly pounced wildly, opening its huge maw to bite and tear at the spear shadow storm!
Accompanied by a heart-shaking ferocity!
Its sharp and vicious fangs instantly pierced through the countless spear shadows.
As the zither music continued rising and climbing, the giant tiger abruptly roared!
Roar!
With just this roar, it turned into a sound wave capable of crushing everything, wantonly raging out. The surrounding giant trees toppled one after another, and the originally fierce spear shadow cyclone was also continuously weakened under this sound wave!
This sound wave was like a towering, terrifying tidal wave crashing forth, directly going to burst Chen Wukong's eardrums!
Chen Wukong continuously covered his ears. The endless tiger howls rolled forth!
"Ah--" Chen Wukong let out a scream like that of a pig being slaughtered!
Tiger Howl to the Mountain could greatly restrain the opponent's attention using sound. With Chen Wukong already heavily injured, he naturally could not resist the terrifying sound waves of Tiger Howl to the Mountain!
Ye Xiu's fingertips strummed over the zither strings again. The giant tiger directly tore apart the spear shadow storm, then charged at Chen Wukong in a flash of violence!
Opening his eyes, Chen Wukong saw the tiger pouncing at him. He shrieked in terror,
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Whatever you want, I can give it to you!"
In our Luotian Holy Palace's ancient wasteland base, there are many treasures. You can take whatever you want if you go there!"
Hearing this, the giant tiger suddenly stopped.
Its fierce gaze fixed tightly on Chen Wukong!
Cold sweat streamed down Chen Wukong's face as his eyes trembled nonstop.
Ye Xiu looked up at him and asked, "There are many treasures?"
Right now, Ye Xiu wanted to break through and needed massive amounts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. In addition, his star source could contain huge amounts of star power, and those strange eyes of his would also compete with him for star power.
So treasures were the crux of his breakthrough.
Although his eyes could discover heavenly materials and earthly treasures, ready-made ones would still be better, right?
Chen Wukong nodded madly. Yes, every year we offer up most of what we obtain in the ancient dangerous wastelands to Luotian Holy Palace.
And it's been eight months since the last offering, so all the treasures obtained in these past eight months are still in our Luotian Holy Palace base.
As long as you come back with me, all the treasures in the Luotian Holy Palace base will be yours!
Ye Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly. How do I know you aren't lying to me, or if there are still powerful experts guarding Luotian Holy Palace?
Chen Wukong shook his head desperately, his Adam's apple bobbing. "No! Absolutely not!
The North Suspended Holy Son and Wang Yuan Holy Son returned to Luotian Holy Palace earlier. As for the strongest, Wang Yuan Holy Son, he is at least top three in our Luotian Holy Palace. He has gone back now to prepare for the Hundred Continents Grand Meeting two months from now. As for North Suspended Holy Son, he still has some time before returning.
Right now, I'm the only one guarding the Luotian Holy Palace base. Chen Wukong hurriedly explained, afraid that Ye Xiu would directly kill him!
Ye Xiu's mouth hooked into a smirk as he laughed. "I see, so that's how it is.
It seems keeping you alive really is of some use."
Next, the zither strings plucked again. The tiger directly grabbed Chen Wukong and pressed him firmly to the ground.
However, this was not the end. The zither sounded again, and the tiger placed its giant paws on Chen Wukong's arms and legs.
Crack!
A clear snapping sound rang out.
His four limbs were directly broken.
"Why must you go so far!" Chen Wukong writhed in pain.
Ye Xiu put away the zither and the tiger vanished. He walked up to Chen Wukong.
"By sparing your life for now, this is already the best outcome for you. As for why, you naturally have no need to know."
Ye Xiu was naturally worried that this brat would fly away again.
After all, if Chen Wukong directly flew off, it would really be troublesome to deal with. It was simpler to just cripple his arms and legs first.
Ye Xiu easily picked up Chen Wukong's body and said coldly, "Lead the way."

"Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet."
