The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 471 Deadly Melody
Li Jingxiao appeared on an island near the battlefield before Nezha and Ao Guang even started fighting.

I witnessed Nezha defeat several aquatic generals one after another, leaving some dead, some wounded, and some fleeing.

While feeling satisfied, he thought to himself that this kid truly deserved to be the vanguard officer of the Chan Sect in the Investiture of the Gods.

He kills with a single move; his bloodthirstiness surpasses even that of Yang Jian.

When Li Jingxiao came to watch, he also brought his three wives with him.

Li Jingxiao didn't need Shiji, Fairy Caiyun, or Qiongxiao to help him.

He brought the three of them along because he valued their identities as disciples of the Jie Sect.

Nezha was also a direct disciple of the third generation of the Chan Sect. In the world of Investiture of the Gods, basically no one dared to offend both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect at the same time.

In Li Jingxiao's hands, the Heavenly Demon Harp became faster and faster with each playing.

The piercing sound of the zither transformed into a murderous demonic melody, causing waves to surge across the sea for hundreds of miles around.

Ao Guang and many aquatic generals quickly realized that there was something wrong with the music.

But by then it was too late to leave.

This music can not only kill, but also bewitch people.

I want to leave, but I can't take a step.

In the Journey to the West world, Li Jingxiao had already upgraded the Heavenly Demon Harp to +9.

Today, I used immortal stones again to upgrade it into an immortal artifact.

Its power has increased significantly.

+9 Immortal Artifact - Heavenly Demon Harp: Spell power +80%, spell cost -80%.

When upgraded to +5, it increases the power of existing sonic attacks by 80%.

Increased to +160% sonic attack.

When upgraded to +9, pressing 'Use this instrument' will activate the Heavenly Demon Eight Sounds, doubling the power and range of the sound waves.

It has been enhanced to a threefold increase.

It also comes with effects of calming the mind, bewitching, possessing, and sonic vibration.

In other words, if one's mind is not strong enough, hearing the Heavenly Demon Harp playing the Heavenly Demon Eight Sounds can easily lead to demonic possession and one's own death.

In just a dozen breaths, the shrimp and crabs in the sea began to bleed from their seven orifices from the sound waves.

Those with higher cultivation levels could withstand the sonic waves of the Heavenly Demon Eight Sounds.

Inner demons also arise, which is like being attacked from both inside and outside, and basically no one can withstand it.

Fortunately, Li Jingxiao's main targets were the small fry and minor soldiers.

The main strategy for dealing with high-ranking officials like Ao Guang is to trap them.

In Li Jingxiao's mind, he quickly heard a series of boosts: +8, +1, +2.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao hurriedly used his consciousness to shut down countless notification sounds, thinking to himself, "As expected of the Dragon Palace's regular army."

Their average strength is far greater than that of the minor demons of Lion Camel Ridge in the Journey to the West world.

A few minutes later, the sea was filled with the corpses of aquatic creatures killed by the Heavenly Demon Eight Sounds.

Nezha, Shiji, Fairy Caiyun, and Qiongxiao all felt a little reluctant to watch.

Ao Guang and dozens of aquatic generals were in no better shape.

In the world of Journey to the West, Li Jingxiao specifically sought out Dhritarashtra, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, to learn about the method of sonic attacks.

In addition, there's the Heavenly Demon Harp, and many other equipment that enhance the power of spells.

It's fair to say that using the Heavenly Demon Harp to kill mobs will result in the death of every single one that comes.

Its attack range is also very large. The only problem is that the Heavenly Demon Eight Sounds attack indiscriminately.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao has rarely used this attack method to avoid accidentally harming innocent people.

Fortunately, after consulting with Dhritarashtra, the sonic attacks can now be limited to a certain range.

Otherwise, Shiji, Fairy Caiyun, Qiongxiao behind him, and Nezha in the sky would definitely have been attacked by the Heavenly Demon Harp.

A minute or two later, the generals and commanders around Ao Guang could no longer hold on and began to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Even Ao Guang, if he hadn't possessed several powerful spiritual treasures to protect him and negate most of the sonic attacks, would have been in serious trouble.

He might have to beg for mercy at this point. And even if he tried to escape, he wouldn't be able to.

Ao Guang knew that he had been targeted by Li Jingxiao.

I felt that if I really tried to escape, I would be subjected to an extremely fierce attack.

They might even get killed in one move.

This is why, despite possessing a magical treasure, he still dared not make a move.

Li Jingxiao's target was not Ao Guang or the generals of the Dragon Palace.

Killing a few small monsters, even if many die, doesn't really matter.

But if we kill Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, the trouble will definitely be immense.

Therefore, as the notification sounds indicating the gain of experience began to decrease, Li Jingxiao gradually stopped practicing.

Although the music was still playing, it had become soothing and less aggressive.

I glanced at the character's level; it had changed from level 207 (1.43 million/1.7 million).

It was directly upgraded to level 211 (710 million/2.1 million).

His face lit up with joy, and his gaze toward Ao Guang even carried a hint of kindness.

But his gaze sent a chill down Ao Guang's spine, making him feel as if Li Jingxiao was telling him to behave himself.

Otherwise, killing him would be as easy as snapping a finger.

He quickly suppressed the fear, anger, and frustration in his heart.

Fortunately, after calming down a bit, Ao Guang saw that there were dozens of generals and commanders around him.

They quickly realized that although Li Jingxiao was ruthless, he also knew how to be lenient.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, suppressing the humiliation in his heart, he clasped his hands in a deep bow, and thanked Li Jingxiao for showing mercy in a humble tone.

Although the loss of tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals was a great loss, it was far less important than the loss of these dozens of dragon palace generals.

It could even be said that, given the wealth and biodiversity of the East China Sea, there would be an abundance of ordinary soldiers.

Generals and commanders who can cultivate to the level of Celestial Immortal or Mystic Immortal are truly not something that can be trained in a short period of time.

Therefore, although Ao Guang hated Li Jingxiao, he did not feel that he and Li Jingxiao had become mortal enemies.

Of course, after recognizing Qiongxiao, Ao Guang also sighed inwardly.

I had previously found out that Nezha was a direct disciple of the third generation of the Chan Sect.

Now, second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect have also joined in.

Regardless of the open or covert struggles between the Chan and Jie sects, that is a matter between the Three Pure Ones.

To outsiders, the Chan and Jie sects are of the same origin and will inevitably unite against external enemies.

Therefore, Ao Guang knew in his heart that disciples from both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect had now become involved.

No matter how much hatred, resentment, and helplessness you feel, you have to honestly endure it.

Moreover, just by looking at Li Jingxiao's nonchalant demeanor, Ao Guang knew that this was someone he could not afford to offend.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just playing a tune and killing some small fry.

Seeing that Ao Guang had backed down, Li Jingxiao's lips curled up slightly, but he was actually a little disappointed.

The Dragon Palace of the East Sea is not just home to the tens of thousands of soldiers who died today.

In Journey to the West, Li Jingxiao knew that his father-in-law's Dragon Palace in the West Sea had at least 200,000 shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

If we include the soldiers and generals under the powerful princes like the eldest prince Moang and the second prince Ao Jun, the number would definitely be around 30.

Of course, the truly capable and courageous elite troops numbered only 30,000 to 50,000.

The other soldiers were just there to make up the numbers; they were mainly used for patrolling and maintaining order.

It can be brought out to bolster our image and intimidate many people.

In the world of Investiture of the Gods, because the Heavenly Court was still immature in many aspects, the power of the Four Seas Dragon Palace was much greater than that of the Four Seas Dragon Palace in the world of Journey to the West.

Li Jingxiao believed that Ao Guang's troops numbered no less than two or three hundred thousand.
