Chapter 79: Is Beating People Against the Rules?

Nie Chen carefully read the System notification.

He could use this opportunity to temporarily upgrade the Immortal Binding Rope to a magical treasure of the Immortal grade, and its power could even temporarily control an Ascension Realm strongman for a period of time.

That didn’t mean…

For a moment, Nie Chen thought about using the Immortal Binding Rope on his cold and beautiful wife.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea.

A man should not be too hasty!

Was it just temporary control? Who was he looking down on?

However, apart from the Immortal Binding Rope, the other two rewards were also extremely rare.

After all, Nie Chen knew the power of the White Feather Dharma Image in the Tomb.

It seemed that this reward was a must-have.

On the empty ground covered with flower petals, two crystal stones stood a hundred meters apart.

Through these two crystal stones, the sound would turn into tangible waves.

The higher the sound level, the more pleasant the sound, and the stronger the wave’s power.

At this moment, someone had already started competing.

At first, the competition seemed small-scale.

The sound waves were not strong, and both sides had their strengths and weaknesses.

However, as time passed, the competition became increasingly fierce.

Top disciples from all over the place came out, and many of those who were proficient in sound were incredibly strong.

Under the transformation of the sound stones, a series of intense sound waves shook the surroundings like a divine battle.

“The prince of the Red Cloud Kingdom has already won three consecutive victories. If this continues, I’m afraid no one will be his match!”

Just as the competition was heating up, Yin Mingda’s appearance completely changed the situation.

He faced three opponents in a row and won with overwhelming force.

Two people who didn’t believe in him and challenged him again were easily defeated.

For a moment, everyone was shocked, and no one dared to challenge him again.

“I didn’t expect the prince of the Red Cloud Kingdom, Yin Mingda, to have such a terrifying understanding of sound.”

“Although his talent is only average, his understanding of sound is enough to crush everyone!”

At this time, Nie Chen secretly used a skill point to unlock the “Sound Gift” in the System store.

Then, he used three skill points to upgrade his understanding of sound to perfection.

Now, his music skills had reached a terrifying level.

“Let me try him out.”

Just as everyone was thinking of a strategy and didn’t dare to challenge him, a voice suddenly came out.

Nie Chen appeared in front of the sound stone, a hundred meters away from Yin Mingda.

“Is it you?”

Yin Mingda’s eyebrows wrinkled, but soon, a cold smile appeared on his face.

“I’ve heard of Nie Chen’s great name. I didn’t expect you to be not only excellent in cultivation but also have a unique understanding of sound. Let me try you out.”

“Come on.”

Nie Chen nodded calmly.

A zither appeared in Yin Mingda’s hand, and although he was speaking politely, he was merciless.

His fingers touched the zither, and instantly, they moved like a phantom.

The fingertips were like a dance, not only fast but also impossible to capture.

As the strings vibrated, a series of rapid notes floated out.

It was like a thousand troops and horses, a ten-sided ambush!

The sound stone absorbed the sound, and the light became brighter.

Even those who didn’t understand sound could feel the shock of the upcoming attack.

However, facing this scene, Nie Chen was not anxious or panicked. He calmly constructed a long zither with his spiritual energy.

It seemed that he didn’t use any techniques, and his fingers lightly touched the seven strings.

But suddenly, an extremely powerful light burst out from the sound stone.

Instantly, a wave of energy far exceeding the previous ones spread out.

With just one attack, Yin Mingda’s carefully prepared attack was instantly crushed.

Nie Chen played the zither again.

“Crack.”

A cracking sound came out, and the sound stone in front of Yin Mingda cracked.

“Crack, crack.”

The crack spread quickly, and it seemed that it would soon cover the entire sound stone.

“How did he do it?”

Instantly, the surrounding crowd was shocked.

Although many of them had cultivation levels far exceeding Nie Chen’s, they only had a superficial understanding of sound.

Yin Mingda had single-handedly crushed many opponents, which was already incredible.

But Nie Chen had easily defeated him with just two fingers!

Even though they had heard of Nie Chen’s fame, they were still shocked at this moment.

“I heard that the Empress drew her sword and killed Emperor Hong Hui because he almost hurt Nie Chen in the Tomb.”

“Originally, I didn’t believe it, but now…”

“No wonder the Empress favors him so much. This person’s methods are indeed unbelievable.”

Although the rumors about the Empress having feelings for Nie Chen were probably false, it was enough to prove the Empress’s high regard for him.

As the crowd discussed in shock, Yin Mingda was already unable to resist.

Facing Nie Chen’s attack, he was completely crushed!

“If you want to show your loyalty to the Crown Prince, why don’t you all come together?”

At this time, Yin Mingda suddenly shouted to the people behind him.

Including the White Moon Palace’s core disciple, Zhuang Jinyao, and the Bottomless Sect’s disciple, Wen Junzhi, a few people seemed to hesitate for a moment but soon came forward.

Zhuang Jinyao touched the pipa, Wen Junzhi beat the drum, and another person blew the horn.

The different sounds mixed with Yin Mingda’s zither sound, forming a complete band.

Instantly, the cracked sound stone exploded with an even more powerful force.

“Boom!”

The two waves of energy collided, and for a moment, they were evenly matched.

“Hmm?”

Nie Chen was slightly surprised and put down the zither.

“I’m reporting to the referee! These people have no shame, and they’re cheating by ganging up on me!”

“The saintess didn’t say that this sound competition could only be one-on-one.”

Yin Mingda smiled coldly.

The crowd looked at Saintess Fanhua, who was sitting in the distance.

Saintess Fanhua smiled awkwardly. “I indeed didn’t say that.”

The surrounding guests were also confused.

The rules of the competition were usually based on common sense, but if the saintess didn’t say it, then it wasn’t against the rules.

However, wasn’t this a bit unfair?

“What’s wrong with being unfair? Today, I’ll show everyone how miserable you are, Nie Chen!”

Yin Mingda’s smile was mocking, and he coldly stared at Nie Chen.

“You’re shameless, bullying me because I don’t have any helpers.”

Nie Chen was silent for a moment.

But suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

“Wait, since the saintess didn’t say that we can’t use our fists to fight, does that mean we can?”

Nie Chen raised his hand, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
