After finishing the piece "Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds," Shi Feiyang played another piece "Zheng Feng."
The previous piece seemed to be hitting acupuncture points, with each note like a finger pressing on the target's vital spots, causing unbearable soreness, dispersing True Qi, leaving them feeble and powerless.
The second piece, however, was like using countless small knives to slice the enemy's flesh, relentlessly, until they were cut to pieces!
The Cave Spirit Zither originally had the effect of subduing various beings, specifically captivating the Divine Souls of such beings, leaving them intoxicated and entranced, like mud on the ground.
Shi Feiyang's earlier "Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds" had already slowed the assault of these hundred thousand demon beasts, many of which, lacking Mana, collapsed directly into the sea or even on the beach, left at the mercy of Sword Immortals' slaughter.
When the following "Kite" sounded, from the Liaodong Peninsula to Hangzhou Bay, the wind and rain seemingly condensed into unseen blades of void, automatically seeking out the demon beasts still charging onto the land, swarming them, penetrating their bodies.
These demon beasts had undergone transformations; some carried a mountain-sized shell on their back, beneath it grew eight feet and three heads, resembling a giant turtle, with the ability to spout Gui Water Yin Thunder from the extending and retracting heads.
Some were six-winged white seagulls, wings spread over ten thousand feet, with crane-necked eagle claws, ejecting numerous fireballs from a long, sharp beak, scattering them across the sky.
There were also colossal crab spiders, resembling both a crab and a spider, covered in tough bristles, with four giant pincers, cylindrical eyes, able to spray poisonous mist from their mouth, and emitting sticky threads from their abdomen.
...
These creatures were quite powerful, as the Flying Swords clashed against the turtle shells, sparks flew, leaving them unscathed; while the crab spider could clamp the Immortal Sword with a pincer, snapping it in half.
The earlier "Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds" caused these creatures' onslaught to slow a bit, some became disoriented, while the subsequent condensed blade could penetrate the water flow and demonic aura protecting them, slicing through the shell gaps.
Transparent small knives entered the giant demon's body, like a master butcher dismembering an ox, navigating freely between muscles and bones, disassembling them into a heap of flesh and bone in an instant!
If the demon beasts gathered together, the soundwave from Shi Feiyang allowed the Great Demon to protect the little demons with Dan Qi, suppressing but not causing such heavy casualties.
By dispersing along the coastline and storming the beach, they were unable to withstand the soundwave; after three pieces of music, over eighty thousand demon beasts lay dead on the beach!
The remaining twenty thousand demon beasts had their Primordial Spirits shaken by the zither music, True Qi dissipating, and the weaker their Mana, the more severe the impact. Many demon beasts dared not advance, retreating back into the sea.
The Demon King leading the troops roared furiously, urging them to gather around, reforming into two formations, each with over ten thousand, charging again towards Tianjin and Hangzhou Bay.
Tianjin, near the Capital, experienced the strongest power from the soundwave, and Shi Feiyang played "Iron Blood and Red Heart." Earlier, the demon horde summoned gales and waves, which he eliminated with zither music, but this time he used it to raise huge waves.
The surging waves were like mountains, each taller than the last, rising and crashing over the demon beasts on the sea, with invisible soundwaves above and below, as if laying countless explosive bombs, detonating violently, the explosive noise resounding for miles without end!
The immortals from Mingyu Immortal Market took advantage of the music's suppression of the demon beasts to launch a massive onslaught, unleashing thousands of sword lights, endless thunder fire, turning the sky and sea upside down.
Over at Hangzhou Bay, due to the distance and Shi Feiyang's main force concentrating on the north, the impact of the zither music on the demon beasts was only a third as effective as at Bohai.
However, there was another expert stationed there: the Sect Leader of Huangshan Sect, Shi Zhu.
Shi Zhu had long regained the Mana of his past life as Old Kuzhu, though his memory remained tightly sealed by Shi Feiyang, making him forget all the side door cultivation techniques of over a thousand years in the past, focusing solely on the Mysterious Sect True Immortal Skill taught by Shi Feiyang.
In terms of quality, his cultivation in this life surpassed the previous; with the Nascent Soul formed, past Mana also returned, though side door Mana clashed slightly with the Mysterious Sect Technique, affecting practical combat performance.
Shi Feiyang returned his Six Roots Pure Bamboo and Taiyin Qingling Flag to him, and he unfurled a flag formation outside Hangzhou Bay. A line of blue light gates rose a hundred feet high, arrayed over the sea for a thousand miles, radiating brilliantly, as if forming a thousand-mile long wall, keeping mighty waves, fierce winds, and all demon beasts' fire and Yin Thunder outside.
The other Sword Immortals from Huangshan Sect, under Qiu Yuan's leadership, relied on this "Sea Wall" to assault the demon beasts, securing an invincible position.
Other demon beasts could be dealt with, but that double-headed sea loach was exceptionally formidable. It, using over a hundred inner cores held within, resisted the zither music's attack, twisting its body in the East Sea, churning the sea into a massive tsunami surging toward the land.
Shi Feiyang used zither music, along with the immortals' assistance, to disperse the waves, but the creature's relentless attacks from the sea were overwhelming.
He transmitted his voice to Shi Zhu: "This sea loach has an unusual physique and is extremely difficult to destroy. I observe that its blood and Qi are heavily turbid, and the Nine Heavens' light and agile Qi should be its nemesis. The key lies in your Six Roots Pure Bamboo..."
The master and disciple set their strategy, and Shi Feiyang released two avatars on his side.
In the midst of raging waves over the East Sea, suddenly, two lotus platforms, one blue and one white, emerged from the sea. On the lotus platforms stood Shi Feiyang's two avatars, one in Shandong and the other in Zhoushan, each releasing the Nine Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords and the Ancient Treasure Five Ding Axe.
Shi Feiyang rarely used the Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords personally, leaving them to the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon. This time he personally united the nine swords, condensing them into a faint red sword light a thousand feet long. It seemed ordinary, hidden in the turbid wind and evil waves, and didn't appear particularly formidable, yet its sharpness was incomparable, as if slicing through space itself. It fell upon the body of the great sea loach not by direct cutting, but like a spirit snake winding around its body, spinning swiftly like lightning, immediately severing the sea loach's body.
The other avatar in Zhoushan, with the White Lotus avatar, wielded the Five Elements Divine Axe. This treasure had been painstakingly refined by two generations of masters, Guang Chengzi and Emperor Xuanyuan, reaching unmatched sharpness. After obtaining it, Shi Feiyang realized this axe was closely related to world creation, so he added a large amount of Taiyin Essence, the Immortal Liquid produced from that silver little rhino's mouth. A single drop could transform common iron into an Immortal Soldier. He infused this axe with over a thousand drops, added a significant amount of Five Metals Essence and Magnetic True Qi, and then conducted further refining with Returning Elixir Enlightenment.
After releasing the Five Ding God Axe, it rapidly expanded with the White Lotus avatar continuously inputting mana. In an instant, it grew to over a hundred feet in size, its blade shimmering with purple and blue light, fiercely striking the colossal sea demon's body. Before the axe reached, the seawater parted left and right, Yin and Yang exerted force, and the Five Elements were thrown into chaos, truly slicing open the fabric of space!
The massive body of the sea loach was cleaved into three segments, roaring as spouts of blood and Qi shot from its severed parts, much like severed lotus roots, forcefully reconnecting and merging.
This creature had suffered injuries from flying sword magical treasures before, but being so immense, hundreds of feet wide wounds were mere trifles, akin to a mere rash. Blasting a pit the size of a reservoir into its flesh caused it no real discomfort; with the surging Blood Qi, it swiftly healed and regenerated.
If its size were smaller, it would be directly blasted into powder, causing its body and soul to be destroyed. With such a gigantic size, unless the Heavenly Stars Demon Extinguishing Divine Shuttle was brought out to detonate, the coastal areas would be reduced to ruins in the process.
After Shi Feiyang used his two avatars to segment the great sea loach, he immediately cast a spell to invert Yin and Yang, throwing everything into chaos.
He distorted the space between the severed ends of the sea loach's body. The sea loach's Qi and blood, trying to reach its other end, dispersed into the surrounding seawater through the twisted space.
Vast areas of the sea in Shandong and Zhoushan were stained red!
At the same time, Shi Zhu deployed the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, which emitted six rays of colored light from its tip, piercing into the sea loach's head near Hangzhou Bay, pinning down its five senses and six perceptions.
The sea loach struggled with all its might, twisting, as blood and Qi continued to spray from its severed parts, attempting to reconnect, but was constantly thwarted.
The head near Hangzhou was pinned and sealed by Shi Zhu with the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, while the head in Bohai was violently bombarded by a host of immortals.
Just as it seemed this creature would finally be subdued and eliminated, unexpectedly, instead of gushing blood and Qi, its flesh twisted and squirmed, growing a new head in an instant!
The originally over-eight-thousand-mile-long sea loach was divided into three parts, each growing two heads, front and back!
Good heavens! Shi Feiyang drew a cold breath, inwardly exclaiming his amazement!
Three double-headed sea loaches in total, six heads altogether, except for the one pinned by Shi Zhu, the rest spewed cold waves refined from the North Sea, forming a massive amount of Gui Water Yin Thunder, Cold Flame Divine Thunder, Mysterious Ice Black Light...more potent than their previous firepower!
Shi Feiyang contemplated cutting this thing into a few more segments, predicting it could regenerate similarly, resulting in the landscape being overrun with double-headed sea loaches, like some vile infestation—that wouldn't be easy to manage.
He then released the Nine Child Mother Heavenly Demon to first assist Shi Zhu.
The nine mothers and nine children, a total of eighteen demons, drilled into another of the sea loach's heads, distorting its five senses, warping its divine soul, causing it to thrash madly in the sea.
Shi Zhu pinned one of the heads with the Six Roots Pure Bamboo and continuously infused mana, lifting it upwards, dragging it directly up from the sea.
Though it was only one-third, it was still over two thousand miles long, with one head lifted into space and the other still in the sea.
However, being ground by the Nine Heavens Gang Wind, it rapidly dehydrated, its size dramatically shrinking, initially able to spew copious amounts of Cold Thunder and Cold Flames in counterattack but growing increasingly weaker.
Eventually, it shrank to three inches long, resembling a dried earthworm.
Even though it became a "dried earthworm," encountering water, it could still revive. Shi Zhu temporarily sealed it within the Six Roots Pure Bamboo and then flew to Zhoushan to fish the second one.
