Chapter 7072 Half Saint, Half Devil
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
At first glance, Zi Yan looked the same as always; she wore the same purple robes, her long hair flowed with the wind, and her face was just as stunning as it had always been. Yet Long Chen immediately noticed that she was not the same at all. The pure, even sacred aura that had always accompanied her was now mixed with terrifying devil qi. Her eyes were filled with killing intent, and she radiated bone-chilling ferociousness.
When she saw Long Chen full of blood and exuding a listless aura that spoke volumes about his exhaustion, her hands trembled. Long Chen hastily comforted her. “Zi Yan, I’m fine…”
It was obvious to him that she was now in a half-saint, half-devil state. This was clearly an effect of the merger between the sacred Heavenly Devil Zither and the sinister Heavenly Devil Zither.
Suddenly, Green Old Sixth appeared, landing onto Long Chen’s shoulder. It squawked, “After your man’s been bullied into this state, are you really going to let things go? There are still some people in hiding. If you don’t deal with them now, don’t tell me you’re going to wait to invite them to dinner?”
With Green Old Sixth’s provocation, the devil qi in Zi Yan surged. She pressed a hand on the Heavenly Devil Zither and flew into the sky.
The Heavenly Devil Zither expanded to a massive size, filling the sky. A terrifying pressure made Long Chen’s soul shake.
This is the complete Heavenly Devil Zither?
Long Chen stared in awe. Although he had the violet-gold polearm protecting him, he still felt a sense of powerlessness facing the Heavenly Devil Zither. Let alone the violet-gold polearm, which was barely a third of a primal chaos item, even the complete Jiuli Tower didn’t have this kind of aura.
“Pentatonic Voidbreaker Slash!” shouted Zi Yan, crossing her hands in front of her chest. Her jade-like fingers looked like the petals of a blooming lotus.
Five strings quivered on the giant Heavenly Devil Zither, and a space ripple instantly spread out, covering who-knew-how-many miles. Across the entire radius, in many different directions, space was ripped open. It was as if the ripple had suddenly smoothed out the silk fabric covering the tips of many sharp swords.
Blood flowed out of these holes. As it turned out, there had been dozens more people hiding in space, ready to attack if the opportunity presented itself.
Lord Brahma had truly gathered many experts, but he hadn’t given them an order to directly attack. They were supposed to attack based on their own judgment. Thus, those who were more conservative had decided not to join the direct attack and wait until Long Chen was exhausted. Given the circumstances, this was undoubtedly the right decision. Yet even so, they could not escape the senses of the Heavenly Devil Zither. Zi Yan killed them all in one blow, just like she had killed the others.
The blood raining down was filled with terrifying power. These sneak attackers were all half-step triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns. This was only natural; only people on this level were qualified to participate in such a battle. Unfortunately for them, they did not have the profound foundation of the Chess Sect or the Painting Sect, let alone the Brahma line. One attack was all it took to kill them.
“Your mouth is really wretched…” Long Chen glared at the green parrot before going to Zi Yan’s side.
Zi Yan’s fingertips were bleeding, and her aura was unstable. Clearly, using the Heavenly Devil Zither to unleash such a large-scale attack was too much for her.
A primal chaos divine item was truly powerful, but Zi Yan had to expend a tremendous amount of energy to use even her original half of the Heavenly Devil Zither; as for this complete version, it required more than double that. After all, the sinister Heavenly Devil Zither had struggled to her death, not submitting even as she was devoured. Although she had eventually failed and the merger was now complete, the Heavenly Devil Zither’s energy was used up. Controlling it was even harder at this time.
Long Chen would rather Zi Yan had not killed those people. Seeing her injured and exhausted state, his heart broke. And the green parrot really was a wretch; it actually fanned the flames at this time! Long Chen had an urge to pluck it of all its feathers.
Sadly, the green parrot was actually the biggest winner of this battle, and more importantly, the smallest loser. It was in top shape right now, so Long Chen was hardly able to deal with it.
“Long Chen, I…” Zi Yan bit her lip.
Her jade-like face, framed by her long hair, shone with holy light; she looked as if she were the envoy of heaven, sent to bring peace to the masses. Yet at the same time, raging devil qi swirled around her. It was like she was wearing a long dress of flames on top of her violet robe.
She was a sacred lotus enveloped by devilish flames. She was beautiful, and she was terrifying.
Such was the nature of the Heavenly Devil Zither, as its name implied: half righteous, half corrupt. Such had to be the master of it: half saint, half devil.
“You foolish girl, how could you listen to some stupid bird?” Long Chen reached out and held Zi Yan’s hands. His heart ached, and at the same time, he was starting to get angry.
Meanwhile, when she saw that Long Chen showed no signs of rejecting her and his face reflected only the most tender care and love, Zi Yan’s eyes filled up with tears.
All the way from the start, the sacred Heavenly Devil Zither had told her that if she wanted to control the Heavenly Devil Zither, she would have to become a devil. In order to test her resolve, it had then made her walk this world as a monster. As a result, nobody was willing to come anywhere near her; in spite of her unearthly beauty, the evil aura she radiated was enough to drive away every single person she encountered.
The sacred Heavenly Devil Zither did this for Zi Yan. She was choosing to be its master for the sake of Long Chen, but if one day Long Chen saw her like this and rejected her, it would make her Dao-heart crumble. Thus, Zi Yan had to be mentally prepared for it. After all, for a primal chaos divine item to find a suitable master was far too difficult.
It was finally time for that prediction to be fulfilled. Now that the sacred Heavenly Devil Zither had merged with the sinister one, Zi Yan would need to walk this world in this form forever. If Long Chen showed any negative reaction, it would be a scar on Zi Yan’s heart.
Fortunately, Long Chen didn’t disappoint.
“You’re the stupid bird! Your mom and dad are stupid birds! Brat, you really are rude! You dare to use me like this, and then you dare to curse me? You’re not even going to thank me?” yelled Green Old Sixth.
Long Chen ignored it. He let it squawk in his ear while he fed Zi Yan a medicinal pill.
Zi Yan’s face reddened, but she opened her mouth and took it.
“Ugh, gross!” Green Old Sixth immediately flew off, unable to bear seeing them acting so romantic in front of it. “This matter is over. Grandpa Sixth is leaving! Remember me the next time you’ve got something good like this!”
After that, the green parrot disappeared into the void.
In spite of its protests, the parrot was well aware of its wretched mouth, and it was also well aware that Long Chen would remember this. With Long Chen’s vengeful character, who knew when he would decide to get back at it? It was best to go away while it could. In any case, it had gotten all the benefits it could this time. Even when the Jiuli Tower came back, there wouldn’t be anything for it.
With the parrot gone, Long Chen fully turned his attention toward Zi Yan. “Zi Yan, you’re beautiful.”
The contrast in her beauty was absolutely bewitching. It was the kind of beauty that could take lives.
“Long Chen… do you really… not dislike me now that I’m like this?” asked Zi Yan worriedly.
“You’re saying foolish things again. How could I ever dislike you? This kind of beauty… hehe… It’s unmatched in this world!” Long Chen chuckled.
Seeing Long Chen sincerely smiling, Zi Yan could finally let out a sigh of relief. He truly did not feel any aversion toward her. In fact, for some strange reason, he seemed to like her even more than before.
“Long Chen…” she whispered. Her eyes grew blurry, and she slowly got closer to him.
“Ahem, that’s about enough. You’re in a very unstable state now. It wouldn’t be good to get too emotional.”
The Heavenly Devil Zither’s voice rang out, interrupting them. Zi Yan instantly turned red, and even Long Chen was a bit embarrassed.
BOOM!
Just then, the void collapsed. The Jiuli Tower reappeared!
The Jiuli Tower’s divine might was on full display. Zi Yan immediately pulled the Heavenly Devil Zither in front of her. Zither music rang out, forming a barrier around her and Long Chen.
Meanwhile, Long Chen’s heart shook when he saw what was going on.
“What the…?!”
