246: Chapter 246 Tang Poetry's Melodious Qin Music Breakthrough! Battle Power Explodes Once Again!

The battlefield was filled with smoke, and piles of Evolved Zombies corpses were stacked like mountains.

Although the Pluto had been eliminated by Lin Yuan, the battle had not completely ended.

Although the remaining Evolved Zombies had lost their command, they became even more frenzied.

They scurried around like headless flies, biting anyone they saw, making them even harder to deal with than before.

"Damn it, why won't these zombies all just die!"

A Female Warrior brandished flames, burning several pouncing zombies into ashes.

However, more zombies surged in from all directions, leaving her somewhat overwhelmed.

Just then, a crisp sound of an ancient zither rang out from the center of the battlefield.

The zither music was like the sound of heaven, yet it carried a biting killing intent!

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Tang Shiyun sitting cross-legged on a boulder, her slender, jade-like fingers dancing rapidly across the strings.

She was wearing a light purple ancient-style dress today, the hem fluttering gently in the wind.

Her long, jet-black hair hung down to her waist like a waterfall, shimmering with a soft glow in the sunlight.

Her beautiful face featured delicate, picturesque features: eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, a nose like fine jade, and lips like cherry blossoms.

Her skin was as white as snow, delicate enough to be broken with a touch, as if she were a fairy who had never touched the mortal world.

Her tall and graceful figure was subtly outlined by the ancient-style dress.

As a top female celebrity in China, her beauty was already at the peak level.

Added to that was the aura bonus after awakening her ancient martial bloodline, making her even more breathtakingly beautiful.

At this moment, she was like a classical beauty who had stepped out of a painting, making it impossible for people to look away.

"Zheng—!"

Another note rang out, even more impassioned than before!

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Tang Shiyun's eyes, and the ancient martial bloodline within her body began to surge violently!

"This feeling..."

She murmured to herself, a strange palpitation rising in her heart.

Since awakening her ancient martial bloodline, she had been cultivating hard, but had always been unable to break through that bottleneck.

But now, amidst this fierce battle, that bottleneck had actually begun to loosen!

"Now is the time!"

Tang Shiyun suddenly opened her eyes, her ten fingers dancing wildly on the strings!

A terrifying aura surged from her body, perfectly fusing with the power of the Heavenly Sound Kill!

"Boom—!"

In an instant, a golden light erupted from her body!

That light was as dazzling as the sun, illuminating the entire battlefield!

"This is... bloodline awakening?!"

On the city wall, Ye Qingxue's pupils contracted violently, her face full of shock.

She could feel that the aura within Tang Shiyun was undergoing a heaven-defying change!

The power of that ancient martial bloodline was awakening at an astonishing speed!

"Sister Shiyun has broken through!"

Ye Qingyue shouted excitedly, her eyes full of envy.

The golden light gradually dissipated, and Tang Shiyun slowly stood up.

Her aura had undergone a distinct change—although she had been strong before, she had always given people a feeling of gentleness.

But now, she exuded a sharp momentum, like a drawn sword!

"The ancient martial bloodline... has completely awakened."

Tang Shiyun said softly, a confident smile curling at the corner of her lips.

She could feel that her strength had improved by at least one level!

The Heavenly Sound Kill had fused perfectly with her ancient martial bloodline, increasing its power several times over!

"Let me test this new power."

Tang Shiyun's slender, jade-like fingers plucked the strings again.

But this time, the zither music contained an ancient and mysterious power!

That was the long-lost ancient martial secret technique of the Tang Family—Heavenly Sound World Annihilation!

"Zheng-zheng-zheng—!"

Three zither notes rang out simultaneously, transforming into three golden sound waves that swept across the battlefield!

Wherever the sound waves passed, the Evolved Zombies fell in swathes like harvested wheat!

They didn't even have time to scream before their heads were shattered by the sound waves!

"Holy crap, this is too fierce!"

The Female Warriors stared at this scene, dumbfounded.

Tang Shiyun had single-handedly cleared the zombies from the entire eastern battlefield!

That was over a thousand Evolved Zombies!

And they were all killed by her in one move?!

"It's not over yet."

Tang Shiyun curled her lips into a faint smile, her fingers dancing rapidly on the strings.

A song, "Ambush from Ten Sides," began to play, with killing intent soaring to the heavens!

But this time, the "Ambush from Ten Sides" was completely different from before!

Every note contained the power of the ancient martial bloodline, and its power had increased more than tenfold!

"Rumble—!"

Countless golden sound waves, like sharp blades, galloped across the battlefield!

Those Evolved Zombies still putting up a desperate struggle were as fragile as paper in front of the sound waves!

They fell in rows, without even a chance to resist!

Just then, a huge Evolved Beast suddenly rushed out from the zombie horde!

It was an SS-grade Steel-Toothed Tiger!

Its body was covered in hard metal scales, and its fangs were as sharp as steel blades!

Previously, five SS-grade Evolved Beasts had been imprisoned and killed by Lin Yuan, but this one had escaped unscathed because it was hiding in the rear.

Now, it was taking advantage of the chaos to try and ambush Tang Shiyun!

"Watch out!"

The Female Warriors on the city wall exclaimed.

An SS-grade Evolved Beast was not something ordinary people could deal with!

But Tang Shiyun didn't even lift an eyelid.

She plucked the strings lightly—

"Zheng!"

A golden sound wave shot out instantly!

That sound wave, like a golden lightning bolt, pierced directly through the Steel-Toothed Tiger's head!

The SS-grade Steel-Toothed Tiger didn't even have time to scream before it fell to the ground!

One-hit kill!

"What the f*ck!"

"An SS-grade Evolved Beast was killed in one move?!"

"Sister Shiyun must be cheating!"

The Female Warriors were completely stunned.

One had to know that an SS-grade Evolved Beast was top-tier combat power!

For outside forces, that was an existence that required one to exhaust all their efforts to deal with!

And yet, Tang Shiyun killed it with a single note?

Is she even human?!

On the edge of the battlefield, the military female soldiers brought by Qin Ziyan were also dumbfounded.

"Cap... Captain, who is that woman?" a female soldier asked, stuttering.

"Tang Shiyun."

Qin Ziyan's voice was somewhat dry: "Before the Apocalypse, she was a top female celebrity in China. However, now she is also one of Lin Yuan's women."

"A female celebrity?!" The female soldiers were even more shocked.

A female celebrity actually had such terrifying combat power?

This completely subverted their understanding!

"The strongest Ability User in our military region is only A-grade..." a female soldier murmured to herself, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "But a female celebrity can easily kill an SS-grade Evolved Beast..."

"The gap is just too big..."

The other female soldiers also lowered their heads.

They had previously thought of themselves as elites of the military region with decent strength.

But after seeing Tang Shiyun's performance, they finally understood what it meant to have heaven beyond heaven.

"Thud!"

A female soldier suddenly knelt on one knee, her eyes filled with awe: "Tang... Miss Tang, you are too strong!"

"We are convinced!"

Seeing this, the other female soldiers also knelt down one after another.

"We are convinced!"

"Miss Tang is mighty!"

"The Shelter is mighty!"

Qin Ziyan watched her subordinates' reaction, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.

They were the elites of the military region, usually arrogant.

But now, they were willing to kneel to a female celebrity.

What did this mean?

It meant that Lin Yuan's Shelter had already become so powerful that it was beyond reach.

"Get up."

Tang Shiyun put away her ancient zither, a faint smile curling at the corner of her lips: "We are all fighting for the survival of the Shelter, there is no need for this."

Her voice was gentle and pleasant, warming the hearts of the kneeling female soldiers.

"Thank you, Miss Tang!"

The female soldiers stood up, their eyes filled with admiration.

On the city wall, Lin Yuan watched this scene, a satisfied smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"Shiyun has improved a lot."

He said softly: "Her ancient martial bloodline has completely awakened, and the power of the Heavenly Sound Kill has also increased by several levels."

"In time, her strength will rise even further."

As he spoke, he leaped off the city wall and walked towards Tang Shiyun.

Seeing Lin Yuan walking over, Tang Shiyun's heartbeat accelerated instantly.

"Lin Yuan..."

She called out softly, a faint blush appearing on her face.

"Not bad performance."

Lin Yuan walked up to her and reached out to ruffle her hair: "Your ancient martial bloodline has completely awakened, congratulations."

"It's all because of you..."

Tang Shiyun lowered her head, her voice growing quieter: "If it weren't for the resources and guidance you gave me, I couldn't have broken through so quickly."

"That is also the result of your own hard work."

Lin Yuan curled his lips into a doting smile: "As a reward, I will give you a special surprise tonight."

"A special surprise?"

Tang Shiyun raised her head, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "What is it?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously without saying more.

Tang Shiyun's face turned even redder, her heart beating like a drum.

She didn't know what the "special surprise" Lin Yuan mentioned was, but just thinking about it made her heart race.

"O-okay..."

She lowered her head, her voice as small as a mosquito's buzzing.

The nearby Female Warriors saw this scene and couldn't help but reveal knowing smiles.

Sister Shiyun is usually so cold and aloof, yet she is as shy as a little girl in front of Lin Yuan.

This contrast is just too cute!

In the crowd, other goddesses saw this scene, and a trace of envy flashed in their eyes.

"Tch, so what if she broke through? What's so great about it."

Ye Qingyue pouted, but a look of unwillingness to lose flashed in her eyes.

"I also need to work harder so that Brother Lin Yuan will give me a special reward too!"

Ye Qingxue looked at her sister helplessly, sighing inwardly.

This girl's desire to compete for favor was really getting stronger and stronger.

On the battlefield, the last batch of Evolved Zombies had also been cleared away.

This great battle ended in a complete victory for the Shelter.

Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the corpses of the zombies all over the ground, a satisfied smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"Clean up the battlefield!"

He ordered loudly: "Collect all the crystal cores and materials!"

"Tonight, everyone gets extra food to celebrate!"

"Yes!"

Three thousand Female Warriors shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth!

Sunset descended, and the golden radiance shone on the Shelter's city walls.

This battle not only eliminated the threat but also allowed Tang Shiyun to complete her breakthrough.

It could be said to be a full harvest.
