The moment his voice trailed off, thousand music notes began to play and strummed on everyone's heart strings .

Ding… Ding…

Ling Xian's hands plucked at the Zither strings as his white robe floated in the wind . Invisible sound waves rolled out of him and rose as high as ocean waves . The waves were filled with the power to kill .

Immediately, everyone's face darkened . They remembered the rumors about Ling Xian possessing the Eyes of Execution, and they listened intently to this song . They all guessed the origin of the song and their eyes flashed with shock .

Who hadn't heard of the Song of the Crouching Dragon? Though it hadn't appeared in 12,000 years, the song was still carved in everyone's heart .

"If he has the Eyes of Execution, then this is the Zither of the Crouching Dragon . The song is the Crouching Dragon… It is no wonder that you dare to fight against me . " The leader of the mysterious House had a stern expression . He was faced against the Song of the Crouching Dragon . Even with his capabilities, he didn't dare to be reckless .

"If I didn't have some capabilities, then I wouldn't be considered confident, I would be cocky . "

Ling Xian's expression was emotionless as his 10 fingers danced on the Zither . He conducted a heaven shattering song that was full of intent to kill .

"Very good . It is rare to encounter the Song of the Crouching Dragon . I sure want to see how powerful this really is . "

The leader of the mysterious House had a heated stare as he flapped around his sleeve . A purple sword appeared in his right hand . Spinning around, his left hand formed a hand seal . His sword instantly began to shine, but he did not release all the Qi . Instead, the sword emitted sounds of sword clashing .



The heavenly sword, as if left its sheath, emitted clashing sounds that spun around aggressively in the air . It blocked the sound of the Zither .

Roaring of the sword against the music of the zither!

One was the heavenly sword belonged to a cultivator who was at the peak of the completion level . The other was an ancient heavenly song . The clash between the two produced a violent battle!

Boom, boom, boom… . .

Though it was a battle between invisible sound waves, after the two types of sounds began, they created a large scale of explosions!

"Interesting…"

Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, found it difficult to believe that this person also knew some things about the guiding rules of music . Being a song composed by a sword, it was somewhat rare . However, he was surprised but not flustered, "Then let us try . Will your sword beat mine, or is my zither just better . "

He then placed both of his hands on top of the zither . Every time he plucked, killer's intent rose and caused a turmoil in the sky .

"Hmmph, the rest of you, use your Qi to block your ears . Do your best to ignore his zither's music . " The mysterious House's leader hissed and ordered .

As someone at the peak of the completion level, he didn't need to fear Ling Xian's zither . However, the rest of them were not so capable . After the Crouching Dragon played its first note, these people were already pale in the face and their blood was boiling .

Therefore, after their Supreme Headmaster taught them this, they blocked their ears with their Qi in attempt to ignore Ling Xian's music . Sadly, the Song of the Crouching Tiger was insanely rattling . If it was so easy to block, it wouldn't be called the heavenly song .



No matter what technique these cultivators tried, they couldn't stop the sounds from entering their eyes . Immediately, their hair went into a disarray and they became dizzy .

"How dominating of a song!"

Seeing this, the leader of the mysterious House frowned . His meter long sword shook more and more "clangs" filled the air and blocked against the music from the zither . However, the music of the zither was an attack that affected all in the area . Even if he could block it, the rest of his crew couldn't .

Just like that, three completion levelled cultivators died from the unbearable pain caused by the Crouching Dragon .

This caused great excitement to the four clans as their belief solidified . They believed that Ling Xian will be able to create another miracle and claim victory!

"Dammit, we cannot let him play much longer . Make your moves!"

Realizing that his subordinates cannot handle this Song of the Crouching Dragon, the leader of the mysterious House finally recognized one thing . It was that his method of fighting against sound with sound was something only he could achieve . His subordinates cannot achieve so . Thus, he flapped around his sleeve and the heavenly sword sliced across the sky and aimed towards Ling Xian's throat .

At the same time, the remaining completion levelled cultivators made their moves as well . All sorts of different techniques were thrown into the air and aimed towards the white silhouette .

Seeing this, Ling Xian frowned, feeling troubled . Though he was strong, especially under the support of the Crouching Dragon . However, he was alone after all, and he was not a God .

Without any support, he of course had difficulties against so many enemies .

"Whatever, no matter what, I have to wait till she arrives . "

Ling Xian's eyes glazed over as he became more determined . Then, he took a long and deep breath and repressed down the side effects brought by using the Zither of the Crouching Dragon . He then, began to play the second section of the Song of the Crouching Dragon .

Cling…

After one note, the heaven and earth both shook . The notes that followed engulfed everything within a 10,000 meters radius . Every note was like sword leaving its sheath, sharp as ever . They blocked the purple long sword .

In the next second, three more cultivators were killed by the Song of the Crouching Dragon!

However, the leader of the mysterious House was also unstoppable . Using his hand as his sword, he instantly broke through the Song of the Crouching Dragon and aimed for Ling Xian's head .

"Get the f*uck away!"

Ling Xian frowned . His fingers pulled and plucked at the zither strings . Instantly, horrifying sound waves roared out of the zither and forced back the terrifying man .

However, this person was far too horrifying . Even though he was taken aback by the zither, his finger shot out a ray of light that pierced through Ling Xian's shoulder .

At that moment, all cultivators grasped onto this opportunities and attacked .

Retch!

After puking out blood, Ling Xian's face turned snow white and his body was shaking .

"Haha, the Song of the Crouching Dragon is very strong, enough to kill all cultivators here . However, with your injuries, you pose no threat to me . " The leader of the mysterious House laughed and provokingly stared at Ling Xian, "You are wounded . What do you have to fight against me?"

Everyone else also revealed their looks of taunt, as if they were certain that Ling Xian will die .

However, against everyone's stares, Ling Xian's expression was still calm . Even though his white robe was dyed with fresh blood, and he was hurt before the stares of many powerhouses, he did not fear .

Because he had a powerful helper .

"Haha, look at him! He is obviously going to die yet he pretends to be calm . This is so funny . " The mysterious House bellowed, their voices full of disdain and sarcasm .

Everyone was laughing, some of them even lowered their backs from laughter .

As these people laughed out loud, a loud rumble shook the sky from afar .

In the next second, a silver phoenix appeared above . It extended its feathers, looking innocent and pure .

"Finally, Feng Jiu Ge…"

Ling Xian raised the corner of his lips coldly . He too, carried a sarcastic smile with him . He casually put both hands on the zither and played the last section of the Song of the Crouching Dragon .

Instantly, loud notes exploded .

Immediately, Feng Jiu Ge extended its silver and white wings, and made a statement that was crisp and clear .

Immediately, the sound of a Dragon and the rare of a phoenix weaved into a song that rattled on for 3,000 miles and shocked all nine heavens!
