Zither Emperor

Volume 2 Chapter 14.3

Chapter 14 – The Promised Battle (III)

————————————————————————-

For the first time, Ye Yin Zhu was confronted with a genuine dragon . Its green body appeared to be covered with a layer of fine scales while its chubby appearance made it seem charmingly naive . Its seven meter long body was far from being able to match the violent Golden Crystal Tyrant Dragon King he had seen . Looking at its exasperatingly slow manner, it was very difficult to imagine it as threatening . Only, this time Yin Zhu had made an error of judgment .

A pair of immense wings unfolded behind its back . Fatty’s previously clumsy body suddenly sped up in a flash . Its huge body unexpectedly rose in mid-air and produced a domineering shadow . In merely the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Ye Yin Zhu’s Divine Celestial Protection . With a tremendous amount of force, its huge fat body directly struck the Divine Celestial Protection from above . Even if it could be considered slightly fat, how could a wind attribute gigantic dragon be slow?

Bang——! How much power could an accelerating three meter tall and seven meter long body produce? Fatty gave Ye Yin Zhu the answer . His Divine Celestial Protection collapsed under Fatty’s valiant attack, almost instantly shrinking into a speck of white light . Fortunately, Ye Yin Zhu had released enough spiritual power for the Divine Celestial Protection to match a Green Rank defensive magic’s might . Although destroyed, it still warded off Fatty’s body, so they were not directly hit by the mountain of meat .

Rolande yelled in the distance, “Wind Blade Breath!”

“No!” Nina shouted out, but it was too late .

Fatty blew out a green colored gale . Of course, this gale was made of innumerable amounts of wind blades . This breath was the innate ability of a dragon; each species of dragon had its own type of breath . There was a world of difference between Fatty’s Green Rank Wind Blade Breath and the wind blades issued by the Wind division’s students . Without the Divine Celestial Protection, it would only take a split second for all of those Green wind blades to strike Ye Yin Zhu’s party of five . At this moment, it was too late for Ye Yin Zhu to mobilize his spiritual power to once more materialize the Divine Celestial Protection .

Mages with strong combat ability versus a gigantic dragon’s magical ability—what would be the result?

At this moment, there wasn’t even a whisper coming from the Divine Music division’s cheering squad . The majority of the girls closed their eyes, not daring to watch . Even the onlooking referee and the teachers spectating the battle from the outside couldn’t instantly save them; who would’ve thought that such a formidable dragon would suddenly enter the match? Fatty was just too close to Ye Yin Zhu and the others . Everyone held their breath as they watched the expanse of Green Ranked wind blades flew crazily towards them .

Rolande was also currently lifeless; her heart was filled with intense remorse . Fatty’s intelligence was limited, meaning it relied completely on her control . The Seven Note Linked Explosion provoked her anger, so she forgot about how terrifying a gigantic dragon was . Soon, she would watch Ye Yin Zhu bear the brunt of Fatty’s wind blades and be killed . Even if she wanted to stop the attack, it would already be too late .

<< White Snow>>’s performance no longer had any importance . Xue Ling was stupefied, Lan Xi looked at the approaching wind blades with frightened eyes, and Kong Que shrieked . Hai Yang raised her head, both hands pressing down on the guzheng strings as her ice-cold eyes expressed faint despair and even seeming somewhat free of worldly problems .

The wind blades created a gale that blew back Hai Yang’s black hair and exposed her always half-covered face . To everyone’s surprise, it was a withered face . The right side of her face appeared to be covered with large scarring . It cut an extremely distinct contrast to the left side of her face, which was second in beauty only to Xiang Luan . At this very moment, as she confronted the devastating Green Rank wind blades, Hai Yang’s secret was finally revealed . If Xiang Luan was said to be the Divine Music division’s most beautiful woman, then Hai Yang was the Divine Music division’s most ugly woman .

Ye Yin Zhu didn’t panic nor did he give up all hope . Watching the green wind blades cover the sky and shoot towards them, he moved . This time, the strings didn’t tremble—only the four fingers of his right hand did .

A brilliant emerald light extended to a length of ten meters in the blink of an eye . The light revolved in the air . A rippling emerald loop fluttered in the wind and rose up, completely enveloping the wind blades the Emerald Dragon Fatty released in a split second . The rippling emerald loop surged fiercely . Ye Yin Zhu grunted . His body shook ferociously due to his raging qi energy .

Ye Yin Zhu spat out a mouthful of blood, but he still refused to retreat . His expression revealed an unwavering resolution as he stared directly at the huge monster rushing towards him . The dragon reared up as it neared and lashed out with its front claws . In a matter of life or death, Ye Yin Zhu used illusionary-like footsteps to dodge the dragon’s attack and bring his body out of imminent peril . His body leapt up like an arrow . In the blink of an eye, he had unexpectedly arrived behind Fatty’s back . The circular emerald radiance rippled gently as it encircled Fatty’s thick and solid neck .

Now, people with keen eyesight could see an emerald thread fluttering in Ye Yin Zhu’s right hand . It flickered with an intense yellow radiance as it tightly bound Fatty’s neck .

Collapsing in a bloody light, Fatty cried out in pain . It seemed that the fine emerald thread actually sliced through its thick scales . Ye Yin Zhu, tightly stuck to its back, yanked the thread with both hands using all of his strength, continuously tightening that emerald thread .

The acute stab of pain at its neck angered Fatty . Roaring crazily, its huge body rose high into the air . It continued to struggle and leap around, maneuvering its body in an attempt to throw Ye Yin Zhu off . Things turned out contrary to its wish, however, as its twisting made the emerald thread around its neck become increasingly tighter . The pain thus increased in intensity . Huge drops of dragon blood unceasingly slid down its thick and solid neck . Ye Yin Zhu’s body was seemingly glued to its back, refusing to be thrown off . Flying violently, Fatty’s body heavily struck the top of the defensive boundary surrounding the training field . Ye Yin Zhu spat out a mouthful of blood again, but he grasped the emerald thread in both hands with even more strength .

“Withdraw your dragon and concede . If not, I have no other choice but to kill it . ” Ye Yin Zhu’s somewhat ice-cold voice spread to everyone present .

In the time that it would take one to draw several breaths, those few words had caused sudden and alarming changes to occur among those who were present . Very few people could clearly see Ye Yin Zhu’s movements .

Rolande clearly sensed her Emerald Dragon Fatty’s intense suffering . Although she very much thirsted for this match’s victory, Fatty was far more important to her . Without any hesitation, a Six-Pointed Star appeared once more, recalling her treasured dragon .

Ye Yin Zhu’s slender body fell gently from the sky . He flipped in mid-air, wielding the ten meter long emerald thread in his hand like a whip . His Yellow Bamboo Level 2 dou qi-filled strike hit the ground and lessened the speed of his fall before gently landing on the ground . As the emerald thread rippled back into a loop, it drew back past Ye Yin Zhu’s right wrist and into his sleeve, disappearing out of sight . At this moment, his complexion was already deathly pale, like paper . Yet, he was hardly swaying as he stood, as unyielding as bamboo .

The Wind division lost . Rolande lost . No matter if it was the match or grandeur, she had completely lost to Ye Yin Zhu .

“Divine Music division wins . ” The referee ended the match, his heart still fiercely beating . The Divine Music division’s team of five had, just now, nearly died due to the Emerald Dragon’s wind blades, the scene making his courage run entirely cold . One should know, these girls from the Divine Music division were for the most part of uncommon origin . If they had died, the entire Milan Institution for Magic and Martial Arts would have been in huge trouble!
