240: Chapter 240 The Battle of the Ancient Qin, The Body of the Underworld

"The cold jade ancient zither!"

On this jade zither, mysterious patterns appeared on the body, vaguely outlining the image of an ice phoenix, with jade light flowing, appearing vivid and lifelike.

Not only did it not appear abrupt, but it actually added a mysterious charm.

The seven crystalline and slender strings, paired with the cold jade zither body, appeared gentle and perfect.

However, the aura emitted by the cold jade ancient zither was bone-chillingly cold, as if one were placed within profound ice, with wind and snow filling the sky, the cold penetrating into the marrow and freezing one's soul.

And the cold jade ancient zither was the source of this chill.

Hun Tiandi's face showed surprise and joy as he looked at the crystalline jade zither, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes.

Hum!

With a casual beckoning motion, the cold jade ancient zither flew into the air and landed in Hun Tiandi's hands.

Turning the ancient zither over, two ancient characters emitting a chill, 'Cold Jade', were clearly presented before his eyes; this cold jade ancient zither should be the greatest treasure of the Forbidden Realm of Qin.

It was also the 'cold jade ancient zither' used by Sound Valley for their marriage recruitment.

But Hun Tiandi did not care at all about any marriage recruitment; his goal was to learn zither arts so he could unleash the power of his nether demonic zither.

He wanted to play the Purgatory Soul-Suppressing Melody and also wanted to witness the terror of this supreme demonic art.

The reason he chose to enter the Qin Realm was firstly due to curiosity about the Sound Valley forbidden land, and secondly to eliminate his enemies; Xuan Ming had already perished, so it was Huang Quan's turn.

As for whether he could find the cold jade ancient zither, Hun Tiandi had no certainty in his heart; everything relied entirely on luck.

With a thought, his Dou Qi surged out, intending to pour into the jade zither, but unfortunately, a flash of azure light emerged and repelled it, as if it fundamentally would not allow anyone other than those with Sound Valley bloodline to refine it.

Suddenly, a beam of Nine Nether cold light shot out from behind, targeting his back, swift as lightning; with a movement of his feet, electric sparks flickered, and he dodged the assassination strike.

Boom!

The cold light slammed into the stone wall, causing the stone to explode instantly, raising clouds of dust.

Clutching the cold jade ancient zither, Hun Tiandi looked over with cold eyes as a youth in a black shirt walked over slowly, his gaze fixed on the cold jade ancient zither.

"It really is you. You have already obtained the cold jade ancient zither, but I must thank you for obtaining the ancient zither for this young master. Hand it over!"

The black-shirted youth was none other than Huang Quan, with whom he had clashed over a pill formula at a street stall in the Maple Leaf Forest of Sound Valley.

After entering the Forbidden Realm of Qin, Huang Quan had brought two protectors to search everywhere for his tracks.

However, they had found nothing.

Previously, by the Spirit Spring Pool, he had seen Hun Tiandi take out a jade zither to block the killing power of the demon soul.

Afterward, he had taken a step ahead and entered the karst cave, disappearing from sight.

If he had used the Nine Nether Art at the fork in the road, he wouldn't have found him so quickly.

Just as he walked out of the karst cave, he happened to see the cold jade ancient zither in Hun Tiandi's arms, and greed flashed in his eyes.

If he snatched the jade zither, he would become the husband of Fairy Tianyin of Sound Valley.

At that time, he could use Fairy Tianyin as a furnace cauldron to absorb the Profound Yin Qi and repair his incomplete Huang Quan Body; once his physique was perfected, he could rapidly increase his strength.

"Huang Quan? I have also been looking for you for a long time..."

A flash of ferocity appeared in Hun Tiandi's eyes, and he looked at Huang Quan with icy killing intent. He flipped his hand to store it in his storage ring, but unfortunately, the ancient zither had a spirit.

Immediately, he placed the cold jade ancient zither into the Netherworld.

"Bastard, hand over the cold jade ancient zither, and I will leave your corpse intact!" Seeing Hun Tiandi put away the cold jade ancient zither, Huang Quan was furious and attacked aggressively.

"I won't let you off either. Half-Step Crushing Fist, Nine-Fold Force!" Hun Tiandi snorted coldly, electric light bursting from his feet.

Turning his palm into a fist, he did not fear colliding with Huang Quan at all, the violent energy like a shooting sword light.

It swept through the surroundings, kicking up bursts of dust.

The masculine Crushing Fist, with the Nine-Fold Force layered on, this fist technique, which rivaled a Low-Earth Tier Dou Technique, finally erupted with violent power.

Rumble!

Under the collision of fist and palm, Huang Quan became more and more alarmed as he fought; the fist force of this youth in green was so strange that it could actually break through the defense of his Dou Qi armor.

The hidden force was like a fine needle, drilling into his body through his pores, damaging his organs and meridians.

Causing him unbearable pain.

"Huang Quan palm force, the dark light is chilling, as if it has the power to freeze blood and organs..."

Hun Tiandi's body shook, blood surging within his body to dispel the chill; in their first exchange, both were secretly amazed at each other's abilities.

The dispute over the cold jade ancient zither had already entered a white-hot stage.

Both sides were fighting with real fire; between their moves, their Dou Qi surged. Hun Tiandi activated the Thunder Emperor Art, converting it into lightning Dou Qi, and the extremely masculine and fierce lightning erupted.

It was specifically designed to restrain Yin-cold Dou Qi. Hun Tiandi threw punches like a dragon, moving with wide, sweeping motions, not afraid at all of injuring Huang Quan.

Yellow Spring Finger!

Suddenly, Huang Quan violently raised his Dou Qi, his hands forming seals, leaving trails of afterimages before him, condensing into a pitch-black finger.

Emitting a cold aura, it stabbed toward Hun Tiandi.

"Well come! Nine-Fold Force!"

Hun Tiandi stirred his lightning Dou Qi, condensing it onto his fist with a crackling sound, forming a lightning fist light in mid-air.

He struck out forcefully, and the lightning fist and the Yellow Spring Finger collided in mid-air, causing a violent explosion.

Boom!

Both were swept up by the violent energy, their bodies flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, spitting out blood.

"You... how do you have such strength?" Huang Quan asked in disbelief.

"Again!" Hun Tiandi's eyes boiled with battle intent, looking coldly at Huang Quan.

"Huang Quan Body, Nine Nether Art!" I didn't want to use this move originally, but you forced me. Immediately, black energy erupted around Huang Quan's body.

Extremely Yin-cold aura spread outward, the wailing of ghosts and wolves like ten thousand nether souls echoing in the mortal world.

A faint black phantom emerged behind him, standing behind Huang Quan, opening its arms to absorb the Nine Nether cold energy.

"Huang Quan Body?" Hun Tiandi said softly, a brilliant radiance flashing in his eyes.

Could it be that this Huang Quan Body is also a congenital physique? If he could devour its origin, the Blood Scripture would definitely be able to evolve again.

His current cultivation technique, the Blood Scripture, was only at the Profound Tier Intermediate level; as Hun Tiandi fought, it was already becoming unable to keep up with the speed of refining heaven and earth energy.

Therefore, he must find congenital physiques and devour their physical origin to evolve his technique.

"That's right, my Huang Quan Body is the most suitable for cultivating the Nine Nether Art, but it's a pity that the physique is incomplete and the origin is imperfect. This time, coming to Sound Valley is also to marry Fairy Tianyin and use her Profound Yin Qi to repair the Huang Quan Body."

"Because the congenital physique origin is incomplete, every time it is used, it causes huge injuries."

Huang Quan roared, his mouth full of resentment.

"Hehehe, Huang Quan Body!" Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi was not angry but instead became increasingly excited.

Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method!

Immediately, he activated the second level of the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method, erupting with double the strength, his muscles tightening, causing the green shirt on his body to bulge.

He reached out and took out a long blade, operating the Thunder Emperor Art, and overflowing lightning Dou Qi surged out, pouring entirely into the long blade.

The slender blade body vibrated, with purple electric light wrapping around it.

Hum!

The emperor-slaying blade vibrated, sounding with rapid blade hums; this time, Hun Tiandi wanted to severely injure Huang Quan in one move, leaving him with no strength to fight.

Because when the Blood Scripture devours the origin essence blood of a physique, it requires the carrier to be alive.

Just like in the Minghai Forbidden Land, when the Blood Scripture first evolved, Hun Tiandi had directly sacrificed himself alive; only in this way could it evolve successfully.

If the carrier perished, the origin essence blood would not be fresh enough.
