Chapter 1184: The Strongest Catastrophic Item—Tiger Soul Reappears

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The shining tiger-shaped saber glare pounced out of the pyramid like a spirit. Since Happy and the old zither player were in the forefront, they experienced its most powerful charge, and they could also sense how threatening it was.

This time, the saber glare was even more powerful and fierce. It came at them at lightning speed, and they did not have the chance to react to it. The ghastly and brutal presence crashed viciously into them.

“No!”

The old zither player was the first to have his expression change.

At the moment the powerful wind crashed into them, the old zither player’s power in the dao of heaven circulated with a bang, and it negated most of the damage in his body.

He brought the dilapidated zither out from his sleeves with a whoosh and started playing it madly.

Slap!

He seized it tightly in his hands, and the powerful qi of those in the dao of heaven swiftly surged out of the old zither player’s body. Now, the old zither player who had a hunched back and who had kept a low profile finally displayed his strength during the moment of life and death.

Boom!

He had his feet planted firmly on the stone stairs of the pyramid, as if his feet had sunk into it. He left deep footprints into it, allowing him to hook himself into the stairs. Even if his robes fluttered loudly and he looked as if he was about to fly because of the wind, his feet were still stuck to the stairs, and he did not move. His black cape fluttered backwards. His white hand danced wildly, revealing deep wrinkles that showed his age. His eyes were full of determination.

Thud!

The dilapidated zither was planted on the stairs in front of the old zither player in the face of wind.

Fwump!

The old zither player held the zither swiftly and knelt on one knee.

He looked straight ahead, and his eyes shone with an intense light as he stared at the entrance of the pyramid.

He flung his hand.

Clang!

With what remained of his fingers, he played the first string of agitated notes on the strings. Substantial sound blades manifested from the notes, and they looked like a never-ending stream. They were all connected together and cut into the tiger-shaped saber glare like a tidal wave.

However, before the tiger-shaped saber glare, these sound blades were as weak as paper. They could not stop the tiger-shaped saber glare from pushing forward, and they crumbled as easily as dust.

The old zither player’s expression changed. He quickly pushed his hands forward, and at lightning speed, he plucked six strings. The notes traveled in the direction of the entrance to the pyramid.

Shick!

A barely audible sound rose. The air in the area around the pyramid froze as the old zither player plucked the strings.

A huge vacuum appeared above the tiger-shaped saber glare.

“ROAR!”

At the moment the tiger-shaped saber glare charged out of the tunnel, it ran into the vacuum the old zither player created. Finally, it inevitably slowed down for a moment, and there was not much change in its speed.

Even though it only slowed down a little, the old zither player still took a lot of effort to maintain making the white tiger slow down in its charge.

At the moment the tiger-shaped saber glare entered the vacuum, the old zither player coughed up blood. Though he was not aware of it. The zither in his hands was dyed red, and it looked terrifying.

However, even though he was injured badly, the old zither player did not retreat. Instead, while the tiger-shaped saber glare had its charge slowed down slightly, he cried out, “Young Swordsman Happy, save them!”

Everything might seem to have happened over a long period of time, but it was actually very quick.

Everything happened in an instant, and only Happy was able to make his choice and take action within a short period of time, since he had spirit sense.

Whoosh!

He did not need the old zither player to speak. Happy jumped off the pyramid and activated Petite Dragon in time to avoid the tiger-shaped saber glare’s charge. While the saber glare’s attack became weaker, he unhesitantly threw a large group of throwing knives at the barbarians who were flung off the pyramid.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Those throwing knives fell down.

They filled the air, and they looked like dazzling white flowers that spun outside the pyramid. The distance between them was also very balanced, making them also look like snowflakes.

Those were throwing knives that did not possess a lot of damage, and at that moment, they turned into things that could save these people who were at the peak of Myth Realm!

The barbarians had their eyes light up.

“Thanks!”

Their lives were in danger. Naturally, they would value this rare opportunity to escape death. They stepped on the throwing knives, and they quickly regained their balance.

Thud! Thud!

They used the throwing knives as their platforms and jumped.

White the old zither player blocked the tiger-shaped saber glare, the barbarians landed on the pyramid again.

Even so, they still broke into cold sweat.

When they thought about how they nearly became one of the countless corpses in the mercury moat, once they returned to the pyramid, they trained their eyes on Happy, and a great wave of gratitude could be seen in their gazes.

But Happy did not have the time to pay attention to their situation.

After he threw the throwing knives, he noticed that the old zither player was not in good shape.

The power in the tiger-shaped saber glare was far greater than the full-powered strike from the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance. It had an aggressive presence, and even Happy would not dare to readily challenge it.

The old zither player might have been successful in forcefully using his zither force to block the tiger-shaped saber glare, he paid quite the high price for it.

The circular zither forces were easily destroyed along with the vacuum in the air by the tiger-shaped saber glare.

Thud!

The zither strings snapped.

The old zither player’s expression changed. Before he could react to it, the zither in his hands suddenly exploded with a bang, and wooden shards flew everywhere.

The sudden and powerful charge crashed into the old zither player’s rather frail body, along with the tiger-shaped saber glare that pounced at him from the tunnel of the pyramid.

Boom!

“Sect Master!”

“Sect Master!”

The barbarians had just escaped from death. Before they could even regain their footing, they saw the old zither player being thrown off the pyramid. They could not react to the situation, and their faces turned pale.

“Seriously, give me a break.”

While airborne, Happy sighed in resignation.

He formed his hand into the shape of a claw. When the old zither player arrived next to him, he quickly reached out and seized his arm. Then, he used the momentum to return to the pyramid.

“Thank goodness!”

“Sect Master!”

“Thank you! Thank you, Young Swordsman Happy!”

The barbarians surrounded them. Happy had first saved them, and now, he also saved their sect master. The group know practically worshipped Happy like a God.

But…

When Happy released the old zither player, his expression was not very pleasant.

Boom!

At that moment, a black shadow flew out of the pyramid, and he seemed to be staggering. He landed at the top of the pyramid’s staircase.

“You’re here as well?”

“It’s you?”

Happy was shocked. When they saw each other, they spoke at the same time.

The first person to fly out of the pyramid’s tunnel was the Ye Gucheng. However, he was in a very bad condition.

City Master Ye Gucheng had a cold, casual, and elegant presence about him, but now, he no longer had the image he once had in the past. His hair was a mess, and his clothes in tatters. A few terrifying wounds could be seen on his chest and arms. His longsword and his right arm were already drenched in blood. At that moment, blood was still dripping on the stairs, and he looked like he had just gone through a really devastating fight.

Ye Gucheng’s pathetic state caused Happy and the people outside the pyramid to be stunned.

“City Master Ye, what happened inside?”

“Tiger Soul. I didn’t expect that the item sealed in the deepest depths of the desert palace is the strongest catastrophic weapon that once nearly ruined the entire world of martial artists!” Ye Gucheng might be shocked by how Happy and the others were able to cross the mercury moat, but he soon regained his composure. With an indifferent expression, he smiled wanly and shook his head. “If I knew that it was this item, I would not have gotten myself into this mess no matter what.”

“Tiger Soul?!”

The group of people outside the pyramid shuddered madly.

Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox looked at each other.

They had heard of Tiger Soul’s great name before as well.

It was said that this catastrophic weapon was made by extracting the spine of Chiyou’s steed, and Chiyou’s soul was also infused into it. In the end, this peerless and catastrophic weapon that seemed to have all the fortune of the world infused into it was created. It was an ancient demon vessel that was sentient and contained its own will to kill. In the past, it suppressed Heaven Crystal and even killed Heaven Crystal’s owner as well as destroy the entire world of martial artists.

“Cough… Cough cough! That’s right! It is indeed that item!”

The old zither item was heavily injured. While he was supported by the barbarians, he coughed in the crowd and said those words. His face turned even paler. “The tiger-shaped saber glare just now is the murderous will from Tiger Soul. Who is the one in control of Tiger Soul right now? Is it the master of Heaven and Earth Alliance, or Martial Paragon Bi Xuan?”

“The alliance master.”

Ye Gucheng noticed the old zither player’s state, and he raised his arm with great difficulty while he answered in anguished, “It seems like this isn’t the first time he came to the desert palace. He became the first one to enter the pyramid ahead of all of us. Then, he ambushed Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, Dongfang Bubai, and me after we went in.”

“Oh?” Happy was shocked. “Are you saying that even with your strength together, you couldn’t defeat the alliance master? How is Osaya?”

Ye Gucheng turned his gaze on Happy.

“Osaya is still fine. But you’re underestimating the alliance master’s strength, and you’re also underestimating the power of Tiger Soul…”

The pyramid was surrounded by the mercury moat. Ye Gucheng could not use his power in the dao of heaven to leave right now, and he had nowhere to go. So he decided to answer all of Happy and the other people’s questions.

Then, what Ye Gucheng said next caused Happy and the others to be incredibly shocked.

“In truth, since the alliance master was the first to enter the pyramid, when we found the tunnel into the pyramid, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, Dongfang Bubai, and I decided to enter the pyramid together…”

“…”

When Happy and the rest heard this, they sucked in sharp breaths at the same time.

“He got it?”

Many of them were in disbelief.

After all, the idea of the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance succeeding in his ambush even when three people in the dao of heaven worked together was very ridiculous.

“We were wary of the alliance master’s strength, and we were worried that he would be guarding the corners, that’s why we worked together and entered the place. We didn’t expect that he would already obtain Tiger Soul’s acknowledgement, and he had officially awakened the soul in Tiger Soul. His strength has increased by leaps and bounds—Careful!”

“Roar!”

While Ye Gucheng spoke, another astonishing tiger-shaped saber glare charged out of the pyramid. It was incredibly fierce, and it rushed at the group outside the tunnel.

Happy did not intend to hide his strength this time.

“Attack together!”

With a shout, he activated Full Winds in Long Skies. He combined a fierce sword force and the raging sword will from Heaven Crystal to split the tiger-shaped saber glare in half. It scattered in the air.

When he executed that slash, Ye Gucheng finally noticed that the longsword in Happy’s hands was releasing a shocking sword will. His eyes lit up, and he said slowly, “Heaven Crystal!”

“City Master Ye, you have good judgment.” Happy cast Ye Gucheng a wary glance.

Ye Gucheng tutted before he frowned. “No, that’s not right. Logically speaking, Heaven Crystal’s sword will shouldn’t lose to Tiger Soul at all. It shouldn’t possess just this amount of strength—That’s right, it’s said that Heaven Crystal was once destroyed and broken. Yes, that makes sense! It’s sword spirit is dead! Or it’s a broken sword spirit. The Heaven Crystal in your hands might be extraordinary, but it can no longer be truly considered as a perfect Heaven Crystal!”

When Ye Gucheng said those words, Happy had a thought in his heart.

‘This guy… seems to understand swords very well!’
