Chapter 92 The Northern Wilderness Prodigy Makes His Move, and Kings and Emperors Descend!
Everyone says that Liang Ziye's painting skills are divine, and in terms of skill, he is definitely the best in the Eight Prefectures!
But now, it has been broken by a musician!?
On the banks of the Qinhuai River, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering about the background of this musician.
On the lotus boat, Liang Ziye was thrown out by the sword of zither music. She steadied herself in the void, raised her eyes to look at Gu Jiancheng, and looked cold and stern.
"Who is your Excellency?"
Yoshiko was equally shocked.
The desolate state has a great master of the zither, but Mo Ranchen, who is known as the number one zither player, is a senior in the Observation Realm. I have never heard of any of his disciples having such mastery of the zither.
"Eastern Region, Gu Jiancheng."
Gu Jiancheng stood holding his zither, looking down from the sky, his silver hair flying, like a banished immortal under the moonlight.
"What? You are Gu Jiancheng!"
This time, not only Liang Ziye, but everyone on the riverbank gasped in surprise.
The name Gu Jiancheng is known to everyone in Baiyun City now!
He possesses the Spirit-Binding Body, has passed the 33rd level of the Hundred Refinements, ranks second on the Beast Tribulation Contribution List, and is even said to have slain all the top prodigies of the two prefectures in the Northern Region at Kunwu Mountain.
All of these factors contributed to making this descendant, born into the secular world of the Eastern Region, famous in White Cloud City at a young age.
Despite his numerous achievements, his most recognized and well-known skill is his use of talismans.
Now, even the way of playing the zither has become so masterful?
It seems this person isn't as undeserving of the rumors!
"Holy Maiden, it's that famous zither!"
Inside the Lotus Pavilion, the lantern-carrying girl was overjoyed.
“Yes, it is indeed Jiao Wei. It seems we have found the right person.” The woman in the brocade robe smiled and said, “Now, let’s see how this person performs.”
"Hehe, Third Sister, is this your lover?"
At this moment, a hostile and sarcastic voice suddenly rang out behind Shen Ruyue and the others on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
The latter and Yunshuiyao's expressions instantly turned extremely gloomy.
As everyone turned around, they saw a woman in elegant attire who bore a resemblance to Shen Ruyue, leading a group of outstanding young people as she walked out from the crowd.
Although this woman was also extremely beautiful, she lacked the elegance and nobility of Shen Ruyue.
"Second sister, what disgusting thing did you eat for dinner? Your breath smells so bad!"
Shen Ruyue raised an eyebrow and immediately retorted.
At this moment, everyone realized that this woman was actually Shen Ruyue's second sister, Shen Fanxing, who was also a legitimate daughter of the Shen family!
There are three direct descendants of the Shen family: two women and an elder brother, Shen Junlin, who is known as the young master of the Shen family.
"Tsk tsk, Third Sister, it's been months, and you've really improved your verbal skills."
Shen Fanxing, however, was not angry. She raised her head, looked at the Qinhuai River, and chuckled, "However, it's all in vain. You, my lover, actually dared to think you could use the art of the zither to contend with Liang Ziye. What a joke!"
"Senior Brother Ziye is unparalleled in talent and unmatched in painting, the best among the eight prefectures, naturally no one can compare to him." At this moment, a woman in a green dress suddenly spoke up behind Shen Fanxing.
Her appearance was exceptionally beautiful, but when she mentioned Liang Ziye, her expression was full of admiration and pride.
"Xia Ruoyi, the top student of Wenxiang Academy in the Southern Region, and ninth on the contribution list, is now under my elder brother's command, just like Canglang Academy," Shen Ruyue whispered in Yun Shuiyao's ear.
Clearly, it was time for Yunshuiyao to speak.
"Heh, unparalleled talent, the best among the eight prefectures?"
"Where did these eight prefectures get so many first-place rankings?"
Yunshuiyao, of course, would not tolerate it.
"Are they even worthy of competing with my husband in the art of playing the zither?"
Sure enough, as soon as Yun Shuiyao finished speaking, Shen Fanxing and Xia Ruoyi were taken aback.
"Your husband?"
"You are..." Xia Ruoyi couldn't help but ask.
"Eastern Region, Yunshuiyao!" Yunshuiyao looked over, her brows furrowed with disdain.
Although Xia Ruoyi is the top disciple of Wenxiang Academy and ranks higher than her on the contribution list, she is only slightly stronger in cultivation.
"You are from Yunshuiyao?"
Xia Ruoyi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
Although she never took the younger generation of the Eastern Region seriously, Yun Shuiyao was a certified cultivator who had cleared the 33rd level of the Hundred Refinements.
Among the eight mansions, countless people doubted Gu Jiancheng's achievements, but no one had ever questioned Yunshuiyao.
Her own achievement in the Hundred Refinements was only thirty-one levels!
In fact, Yunshuiyao's temperament and appearance are truly as legendary as they say, like a fairy descending to earth, making one feel ashamed of oneself!
Therefore, when she faced Yunshuiyao, she couldn't help but feel inferior.
"Hmph, your husband?"
"Don't you know that your husband is merely a spirit-sealing body?"
"The art of talismans is not invincible, and the two of you are singing in unison. What, do you want to emulate the legendary concubines Ehuang and Nüying and share a husband?" Although Shen Fanxing was also jealous of Yun Shuiyao's beauty, she still sneered.
"Shen Fanxing, you'd better watch your mouth!"
Shen Ruyue was furious, then coldly said, "I know you recruited students from Canglang and Wenxiang Universities this time, but I'll show you that they're nothing but trash!"
"What did you say?" Shen Fanxing glared at him.
Could a mere Dongling Academy really inspire such confidence in Shen Ruyue?
"Buzz!"
But at this moment, on the Qinhuai River, Liang Ziye, who had been suppressed in their first encounter, had once again risen to prominence with his ancient pen.
With a flick of his brush, the river surged, and a dragon materialized on the scroll, riding the waves and swallowing Gu Jiancheng whole.
This was a proactive attack, more than 50% stronger than the previous mountains, immediately drawing gasps of surprise from the riverbank!
Such a phenomenon can already be considered a true killing and divine power.
"Hmph, just wait and see the show." Shen Fanxing felt even more confident upon seeing this.
The appearance of the Lotus Pavilion was perfectly timed; it was practically made for Liang Ziye. In this way, Shen Fanxing would also have a moment of glory in front of the major powers of the Desolate State.
Otherwise, within the family, she would always be overshadowed by Shen Ruyue!
"Even if it were a true dragon, I would not fear it, let alone a worm like you?"
Gu Jiancheng merely chuckled, then plucked the strings of the guqin one after another. With the music and sword intent amplified, nine swords suddenly rose up, forming a sword array that spun and pierced straight at the dragon!
"Pfft!"
Thus, in just a moment, the dragon in the painting was pierced through the head by the nine swords of zither music, and turned into water mist that dissipated on the Qinhuai River.
In an instant, Shen Fanxing, Xia Ruoyi, and the others' expressions changed drastically.
In their second encounter, Ryoko was still unable to gain the upper hand?
Moreover, Gu Jiancheng was already sitting cross-legged on the lotus boat, the sound of his zither gradually rising, and the sword light faintly appearing, as if he had become invincible!
"Humph!"
However, at this moment, another figure suddenly rose into the air on the riverbank, appearing on the lotus boat where Gu Jiancheng was like a fleeting shadow. He raised his hand and used fire as a pen to write words in the void!
The first character: 镇 (zhen)!
As an ancient 'suppression' was completed, it suddenly transformed into a giant hand filled with crimson flames, pressing down on Gu Jiancheng on the lotus boat.
Using the character as a force, the palm print falls!
This kind of imposing presence is no less than that of Ryoko-ya just now.
"Goodness, one painter wasn't enough, now there's a calligrapher too? Who is this guy?!"
Upon seeing this, Su Wanzhi and the others couldn't help but change color.
"Qin Baiyu, a newly promoted disciple of Beihuang Academy!" Shen Ruyue's expression darkened slightly as she spoke, "Two days ago, he also cleared the thirty-third level of the Hundred Refinements."
"From the Northern Region?" Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Back in Kunwu Mountain, weren't the strongest juniors in the Northern Region all wiped out by Gu Jiancheng?
"Hehe, the Northern Region really knows how to play games. This Qin Baiyu is originally a scion of a prominent family in the Central Region, yet he was invited by the Northern Wilderness Academy!" Cai Kun sneered.
Borrowing someone again?
Upon hearing this, Yun Shuiyao understood, but this wasn't the first time they'd seen this kind of tactic.
However, it must be said that Qin Baiyu's calligraphy is indeed extremely strong, a masterful hand, with powerful and vigorous strokes.
Liang Ziye, who had been knocked back, quickly steadied himself and at the same time drew another silver-scaled dragon, one in the south and one in the north, pressing down on Gu Jiancheng.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Jiancheng found himself surrounded by two opponents!
"That's interesting, but not enough!"
On the lotus boat, Gu Jiancheng smiled and remained extremely composed. As the music gradually rose to a climax, the sword light that had transformed on the Qinhuai River even became a storm, enveloping it in the center.
The music stirred up a storm, as if boundless energy was hidden within it.
Boom boom!
At this moment, Liang Ziye and Qin Baiyu's dragon and palm print also arrived.
But with a violent explosion, both the dragon and the palm print were shattered by the storm of sword light.
It vanished completely after just a few breaths.
But the sound of the zither was like an ancient battlefield, and the sword light was like a cataclysmic disaster, churning endlessly on the Qinhuai River!
At this moment, all the cultivators watching on the banks of the Qinhuai River were deeply shocked.
Even all the doubts that had been cast against Gu Jiancheng before seemed to be shattered by the sound of the zither!
At this moment, they could no longer see Gu Jiancheng's figure, but they could feel that within the raging sword light, there seemed to be thousands of troops hidden!
"hateful!"
Despite several attempts, and even now, joining forces with Qin Baiyu, they have been unable to shake Gu Jiancheng, causing Liang Ziye's expression to turn ferocious.
He and I cannot accept the current situation.
The appearance of the Lotus Pavilion is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to make a name for himself. How could he possibly become a stepping stone for Gu Jiancheng?
"Qin Baiyu, stop hiding! Today, we will suppress this man and then decide the victor!" he roared at Qin Baiyu.
The other party did not respond, but suddenly raised his large hand, using flames as a brush, and slowly wrote an extremely domineering character '君' between the sky and the water.
In an instant, on the Qinhuai River, the fiery characters burned and dissipated, gradually transforming into an eight-thousand-foot-tall phantom figure that emerged from the flames, resembling an ancient monarch!
This Qin Baiyu actually used words to represent a monarch?!
The power of the word has more than doubled compared to before.
"Hahaha, Qin Baiyu, you truly deserve to be my equal!"
"In that case, I'll let you see mine too, Your Majesty!"
Liang Ziye laughed wildly, then brandished his ancient brush, using the sky as paper and water as ink, and in a short while, he sketched a majestic emperor on the Qinhuai River!
The emperor, dressed in a dragon robe and holding a halberd, joined forces with the king that Qin Baiyu had transformed into to slash down at the sword light storm where Gu Jiancheng was located!
This is the judgment of the emperor and the monarch. In an instant, the Qinhuai River trembled, and its power swept across all directions!
