Chapter 212 - Prajna Magic Sound
Chapter 212: Prajna Magic Sound
Upon hearing Xu Feng’s order, the crowd had no more scruples. Each of them took out his weapon, and bright light flickered and flashed for a moment as a dozen beams rained down toward the Blueluan warship. At this moment, the dozen experts who could stand in the air were all Martial Grandmasters. It also showed how strong the Constellation Sect was.
Boom!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Numerous energy blasts exploded, producing rings or ripples that spread over the warship. Duan Yue looked up in shock. The attacks were so many that he would have a hard time dealing with them even if he had his peak strength. But surprisingly, the warship suddenly shot out a beam of blue light, which opened up into an energy barrier around it, blocking all the attacks.
Xu Feng’s eyes grew wide, and he said in shock and anger, “The warship’s defense is activated?! Hasn’t it been damaged for more than ten years, and they told me that it can’t be repaired? Who is inside the main control room? Who repaired the warship’s main defensive array!!”
The other elders looked at each other and did not know what to do. When the Blueluan warship’s primary defensive array was activated, there was no way they could blast it apart.
Xu Feng shivered with anger as he bellowed, “Attack! I don’t believe there are so many Primordial Stones inside the main control room that they can support the defense for too long! When the Primordial Stones get depleted, I’ll flay you alive!”
A Blueluan warship was so huge that it needed a lot of Primordial Stones just to keep it afloat. Therefore, a power without deep pockets could not afford one even if it were given for free. Moreover, the amount of Primordial Stones needed to activate its all-round defense were even more shocking!
For a moment, the people of the Constellation Sect exercised powerful techniques to wantonly attack the warship. Under the myriad attacks, the blue barrier gradually grew dim. At the sight of it, a look of joy immediately appeared on every face, and they increased the frequency of their attacks.
Duan Yue looked up at the shrinking light barrier and ran toward the main control room worriedly. He did not know how long Yunxiao could hold out. But, when he stepped into the room, he was slightly taken aback, because he saw several strangers standing timidly in a corner, with fear written on their faces.
Yunxiao took one look at him and ignored him as he turned to the few alchemists and said, “There are exactly six of you. Come over here and help. This Prajna Magic Sound array can only be activated by six people working together.”
“Prajna Magic Sound array?” An alchemist cried out shockingly, forgetting about his fear. “The primary offensive array of the Blueluan warship? Isn’t it already damaged?”
Yunxiao said vexedly, “How do you have the effrontery to say that? I had a hard time hijacking a warship, but it turned out to be rubbish! Can’t you see I’ve been working so hard to fix it? Now, come over here, all of you!”
His shout frightened the six alchemists, and they walked over while trembling. They were also curious and dared not believe that the primary offensive array could be repaired so easily. As soon as they gathered around Yunxiao, their eyes went wide and gleamed, as if they just saw a table full of delicious food.
“I’ll teach the six of you techniques of controlling this Prajna Magic Sound array now. You only have the time of ten breaths to understand them. If anything goes wrong, I’ll kill you first!” Yunxiao said with a cold face. The six surprised alchemists swallowed hard and broke out in cold sweats as they listened attentively, unaware of the deafening explosions outside the warship.
Duan Yue watched them nervously and dared not to make a sound to disturb. He saw an array that emitted blue light beside Yunxiao begin to grow dim just like the barrier outside the warship, and it seemed to be on the verge of dying off completely.
Xu Feng and the others were glad to see that. Each of them took out a handful of medicinal pills and gulped them down. With that, their auras surged to greater heights in the blink of an eye. Energy blasts rained down even fiercer, causing the void around the warship to ripple and distort.
Boom!
The blue barrier suddenly blew apart, causing the void to tremble while the warship began to wobble.
“It’s opened! Stop attacking and charge into the warship now! I want those people to be captured!” Xu Feng roared in great joy.
Rumble!
A Martial Grandmaster was too late to retract his attack. A huge golden sword slashed down and hacked the warship, breaking a two-story building from the middle.
While frowning, Xu Feng growled, “I said STOP ATTACKING! If anyone destroys the warship, I’ll kill him!”
“Wuwuwu!”
“Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwu!”
Suddenly from the warship came a whimpering sound, as if someone was blowing a horn, drifting, barely audible, and extremely unpleasant to the ear.
“What’s going on?” asked Xu Feng while frowning. He glared angrily at the Martial Grandmaster and said, “Is it because you’ve damaged the warship?”
The Martial Grandmaster was fuming, but he dared not show that. In his heart, he cursed all the females in Xu Feng’s family. He listened for a few breaths and then said suspiciously, “This sound…is a bit like the Prajna Magic Sound…”
“Prajna Magic Sound?”
That took the dozen Martial Grandmasters aback. They focused their attention on the sound, and their expressions changed drastically in the next instant while their eyes flashed with terror.
Xu Feng’s face turned green, and he almost burst into tears. In a hysterical voice, he screamed, “Those damn alchemists! Didn’t they say the primary offensive array is damaged and cannot be repaired? Fu*k their ancestors! The rhythm is not strong, so let’s quickly rush into the warship and take them down!”
Meanwhile, the ‘wuwuwu’ sound began to change, from a single note to a melody, from unpleasant to beautiful, as it spread through the air. There seemed to be a kind of ripples visible to the naked eye spreading over the sky, and the void vibrated with a faint rhythm as the melody changed.
Inside another warship that was several miles away from the Constellation Sect’s Blueluan warship, an old man of the Thousand Cranes Court was resting with his eyes closed. Beneath him sat two rows of warriors, who were discussing something in low voices.
“The experts invited by the three sects are indeed amazing. I can’t believe they actually took over the control of the Blueluan warship!”
“Hehe! Those bast*rds of the Constellation Sect are going to suffer this time.”
“Who is that two-stars Martial Emperor who fought all the experts alone? If he is from the South, he should be a famous figure!”
“A few days ago, the representatives of the three sects were here for a secret discussion. They wanted to borrow our strength to deal with the Constellation Sect. Hmph! It turns out that they had such a trump card! Fortunately, we had rejected them!”
“You can’t say that. The Flying Sword Sect, Tiger Slayer Sect, and Foursquare Library are powers from Skyfragrance Empire after all, and we should work together against a common enemy. Moreover, we, the Thousand Cranes Court, are the ones who suffered the most from the Constellation Sect!”
“Hmph! Now that someone has come forward, we are naturally happy to see what they can accomplish, and we will support them a little in the dark at most. We can’t go to war with the Constellation Sect openly, can we?”
Even as the people below were chatting, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, which flickered doubtfully. Then, his face grew dark, and he said angrily to the people below, “This is an attack of the Prajna Magic Sound! The Intelligence Temple is eating shit! Who said the Constellation Sect’s primary offensive and defensive arrays are all damaged? And don’t tell me that these two arrays were fixed in the last few days! Hmph! I’m keeping a bunch of fools who eat shit! How can they miss such a piece of important information? Their Primordial Stones will be deducted for half a year. That applies to you as well, Shu Zhengqing, as you are the head of the Intelligence Temple, and you will be flogged once as the punishment.”
A man below shuddered while his forehead broke out in a cold sweat. He bowed and said in a trembling voice, “I understand, my lord!”
The others turned their eyes to him, each with a different expression—some gloating, some silent, some indifferent, and some closing their eyes to rest.
Meanwhile, Xu Feng and the others, who were flying toward the warship, suddenly halted with their expressions changing drastically. There was a look of horror in their eyes, and they put their hands over their ears, as if they had heard the most terrible thing in the world, and they all began to go mad.
The Prajna Magic Sound was invented by a famous Martial Sovereign in the ancient times. It was a very clever sonic martial art technique that could disturb the listener’s mind and attract mental demons. The most important thing for a warrior was to remove distractions from his mind and keep it quiet, because once mental demons were attracted, the energy would go wild, which could result in Qi deviation, or in the worst case scenario, death. This kind of martial art technique was extremely brutal and hard to defend against. Later on, it was modified into an array by a genius alchemist. Although the array was not as powerful as when it was exercised by a warrior, the result was the same, and very suitable to target a large group of enemies. Later on, it was built into all sixth-tier Blueluan warships as the primary offensive array!
Xu Feng and others felt their energies surge within them, as if they were about to break out of their bodies. The more they tried to suppress them, the more violent the energies boiled.
“Damn alchemists! A bunch of crap!” Xu Feng roared resentfully and was about to fly away. Since he came to Qinghai, he had always wanted to repair the Prajna Magic Sound array, but he could not find anyone who knew how to repair it. He never thought that he would experience it in person when the array was activated for the first time. He was extremely angry, and together with the effect of the magic sound, he coughed out a mouthful of blood. His essence was hurt!
“The Heavenly Halberd, Whiteflame Ghost Kill!”
Suddenly, an indifferent voice came from above. With a mocking look, Duan Yue stared at him as the Heavenly Halberd in his hand swung down from the sky, shrouded in a mass of white flame.
The void was completely locked down by the Heavenly Halberd!
“You…!” Xu Feng was startled, and he roared in disbelief, “How…How can you not be disturbed by the magic sound?”
He felt the Qi and blood in his body flow faster and faster, gradually out of his control. But, Duan Yue looked calm, and his aura was stable as well, showing no sign of being disturbed.
“You are about to die, so why do you want to know so much?” Duan Yue said with a face of indifference while his eyes were full of killing intent. Had it not been for Yunxiao, he would have died in the South Sea with Ma Wendi and the others. Of course, even without the people from the Constellation Sect, he reckoned he would be killed by Ma Wendi and the others first. But, he was then pursued by Heng Yuan for several days, and if they had not run into the rainbow fog, he would have died nonetheless.
He was now thoroughly conquered by Yunxiao. Even the Tranquil Mantra that could defend against the magic sound was taught by Yunxiao just now. The reason a Blueluan warship was so powerful was that it was equipped with an offensive array that cover a large area and was impossible to defend against. A mantra that could resist the attack of magic sound was definitely not an ordinary one.
