81: Chapter 81 west Ye Demonic Sound Strangulation, Li Siwen

Yue Li's whisper, carried with confusion and uncertainty, was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the tense atmosphere of the scene.

Li Siwen and Xiao Xiner turned their heads sharply toward her, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"Yue Li, you..." Li Siwen immediately asked through their mental connection: "You know him?"

Yue Li's beautiful face still held confusion; she shook her head slightly, and her Soul Power conveyed a vague message: "Master, I don't know! It's just that his aura and Soul fluctuations feel somewhat familiar... but I can't remember!"

Her memory was already incomplete, and at this moment, it was just a vague throbbing from the depths of her Soul, unable to form a clear cognition.

Xi Ye's split Soul, attached to the dark gold Puppet, stared fixedly at Yue Li with its pitch-black gaze, the vortex-like eye sockets fluctuating violently, revealing his inner suspicion and uncertainty.

His hoarse voice carried scrutiny and inquiry: "Soul incomplete... attached to a Puppet body... aura mixed and impure... Hmph, so you are just a broken, pathetic creature. I overestimated you."

After carefully sensing, he seemed to find nothing else worth noting on Yue Li, and that suspicion gradually turned into disdain and indifference.

Clearly, the abnormality of Yue Li's state and her severe memory loss meant that Xi Ye could not recognize her potential "true identity."

He refocused his attention on Li Siwen and Xiao Xiner, the last trace of "recruitment" in his tone completely vanishing, leaving only cold killing intent and indifference.

"Since you are stubborn and unwilling to submit, then become the first batch of collectibles after my awakening! It is your honor to witness my return to the world!"

Before the words faded, the dark gold Puppet suddenly raised a hand, its five fingers splayed, aimed at the three of them!

Hum—!!!

That strange and deadly drumming sounded again!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

This time, the drumming did not come from the Void Realm, but originated incomparably clearly from within the chest of that dark gold Puppet!

That was... the heartbeat of this Lingyuan Realm Puppet under the control of Xi Ye's split Soul!

The drumming was muffled at first, but it instantly pierced through all obstacles, acting directly upon the hearts of the three!

"Ugh!"

Xiao Xiner bore the brunt of it, let out a muffled groan, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper!

Her heart beat uncontrollably and frantically, as if it were about to explode!

Her Qi and blood surged in reverse, her Yuan power became chaotic, and her newly stabilized Xuanyuan Realm cultivation base showed signs of collapsing once again!

She clutched her chest tightly, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth again, and her figure swayed unsteadily!

Yue Li's Soul body also fluctuated violently, the grey-white light flickering uncertainly.

The drumming seemed to strike directly at her Soul core, bringing waves of tearing pain, and her Soul Power circulation became extremely sluggish and difficult.

Li Siwen's heart was also pounding wildly, his Qi and blood churning, but his situation was slightly better.

The strong mental resistance and focus brought by his cross-dressing state came into play again, and combined with his Void-Piercing Spiritual Eye Technique pushed to the limit, he locked onto the source and fluctuations of the drumming!

"It's a heartbeat! He is using the heartbeat of that Puppet to cast a spell!" Li Siwen endured the discomfort and shouted urgently, "This demonic sound resonates directly with our heartbeats, manipulating our Qi and blood, and disrupting our Yuan power and Soul Power! We must interrupt him!"

Before he finished speaking, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, his fengwu sword erupted with brilliant red light, and man and sword became one, turning into a stunning arc, stabbing straight at the Puppet's chest! He attempted to use an attack to interrupt its heartbeat rhythm!

"Mantises trying to stop a chariot!" Xi Ye let out a scoff.

The dark gold Puppet did not even move an inch, just casually waved its other arm!

Boom—!!!

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding the Kaiyuan Realm, descended like a tangible mountain!

Before Li Siwen's sword light could touch the opponent, it was fiercely struck by that invisible, terrifying pressure!

Pfft!

He was struck as if by a heavy blow, his figure flew backward, slamming heavily into the bone wall behind him, his throat tasted sweet, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out!

The fengwu sword in his hand wailed incessantly, and the web between his thumb and forefinger split open!

Absolute Realm suppression!

The pressure from just a casual wave was more than he could bear!

"Master!" Seeing this, Yue Li was extremely anxious. Enduring the severe pain in her Soul core and the interference of the drumming, she gave a clear shout, and her Soul Power exploded frantically!

"Purifying World Lotus!"

She formed seals with both hands, and the vast power of purification condensed into a huge, slowly rotating grey-white light lotus, which descended upon Xi Ye with the dual aura of purification and destruction!

Wherever the light lotus passed, even the thick death resentment was temporarily dispelled!

This was the strongest strike she could currently unleash!

"A bit interesting! Pity, it only has the form!" Xi Ye's hoarse voice held a trace of surprise, yet he remained calm.

The dark gold Puppet raised that hand, its five fingers slightly curled, and it made a gentle grasping motion toward the descending light lotus!

Crack!

The seemingly powerful Purifying World Lotus was instantly crushed by the invisible, terrifying power as if it were fragile glass, dissipating into scattered points of light in the sky!

Yue Li's delicate body shook violently, the light of her Soul body dimmed by more than half, clearly having suffered significant backlash!

The gap was too large!

There was an insurmountable chasm between the Lingyuan Realm and the Tianyuan Realm!

Not to mention that the Puppet Xi Ye possessed was by no means weak among the Lingyuan Realm!

"Senior Sister!" Li Siwen struggled to stand up. Seeing Xiao Xiner's aura growing weaker and weaker, her face already turning purple, and her heart on the verge of bursting, he felt anxious as if burning!

A direct confrontation was absolutely not an option; he had to find another way!

As his thoughts raced, he plunged his consciousness into the chat group in his mind!

[Jiuji - Li Shiwen]: "@Everyone, sisters, does anyone have a Magic Treasure for dealing with musical attacks or soundproofing? Urgent!"

The message was sent and received an instant response!

[Holy Maiden of Yaoguang - Tang Jingjing]: "Musical attack? That thing is not common!"

[Saintess of Tianxuan - Su Qingxue]: "Steady your mind, guard your spiritual platform! Sound-based techniques focus most on flaws in the mind!"

[Saintess of Kunlun - Shang Ting]: "The Void-Piercing Spiritual Eye might be able to peer into the trajectory of the sound, find its nodes, and break sound with sound."

[Holy Maiden of Yaochi - Mo Rui]: "Sound attack? Soundproofing? Wait! I think I have one! I opened a strange little gadget from a treasure chest last time!"

[Holy Maiden of Yaochi - Mo Rui sent an exclusive red packet!]

Li Siwen didn't even think and claimed it immediately!

His palm sank, and an object appeared out of thin air.

It was a warm white object, looking like jade but not jade, looking like bone but not bone, with an ancient and even somewhat crude shape... a whistle?

There were no rune marks on the surface of the whistle; it looked ordinary and even somewhat childish.

Li Siwen: "???"

This thing... can deal with the demonic sound of the Lingyuan Realm?!

[Holy Maiden of Yaochi - Mo Rui]: "Ugh... the description says it's a 'Calming Whistle'. After blowing it, it can emit a sound of a specific frequency to soothe the mind and insulate against external noise... but I tried it, and it won't make a sound! It's completely useless! Just take it as a small gift to play with... (awkward tongue sticking out.jpg)"

Li Siwen looked at the whistle in his hand that looked like a child's toy, then felt the increasingly rapid demonic sound drumbeats that were almost tearing his heart apart, as well as the increasingly critical states of Xiao Xiner and Yue Li, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

A whistle that won't make a sound?!

But Senior Sister Shang Ting said "break sound with sound", Void-Piercing Spiritual Eye, see through the trajectory, find the nodes!

Better to treat a dead horse as a live one!

A flash of determination crossed Li Siwen's eyes. He shoved the whistle into his mouth, locked his Void-Piercing Spiritual Eye Technique onto the frequency and fluctuation trajectory of the demonic sound drumbeats, and poured all his remaining Yuan power and spirit into the whistle.

Then, he blew with all his might!
