463: Chapter 463 Insulting my rap is absolutely unacceptable!

Elder Dongxing knelt on the ground, his wooden peg leg awkwardly sticking out to the side.

His cloudy, one-eyed gaze struggled to squeeze out a few tears, attempting to perfectly portray the image of a disabled old sailor being bullied by a tyrant.

In the corner, Song Yixue swallowed hard. She looked at Chen You, who was holding his sword, then at the kneeling old man, and silently shrank another half a meter back into the corner.

Chen You flicked his wrist slightly.

The +16 yuhuang sword let out a low hum, and the flowing light on the blade cast a chilling white mark on the old man's neck.

"Sir, I really don't know what you are talking about," the old man said, his voice trembling. "I'm just an information peddler. If you think it's too expensive, I'll return your gold coins. Please, have mercy…"

"Stop pretending," Chen You interrupted, his tone flat. "That 'yo' you just said already gave you away."

The old man's body stiffened.

He swallowed hard, his eyes drifting to the side. "That… that was the call of a seagull."

"People who drift on the sea all year round inevitably pick up a bit of a seagull accent in their throats."

"A seagull?" Chen You sneered. "Does the seagull in your house have a sense of rhythm when it calls?"

The old man lowered his head and stopped speaking.

Whoosh—Rain suddenly began to fall outside, the sound of the raindrops falling exceptionally clear in the attic.

Chen You withdrew the yuhuang sword, the tip of the blade resting on the floor.

"Star Sea King, you're playing quite a fancy game with these nested projections," Chen You said, directly exposing the other party's identity.

"Last time in the Power Room beneath Cangxing City, you were DJing and then void-sliding away to escape. This time, you've changed your shell and come to the bay to sing Cthulhu ditties?"

The old man jerked his head up, his face full of astonishment.

He opened his mouth, trying to defend himself. "You've mistaken me for someone else. My name is Dongxing, I'm a retired first mate…"

"Fine, not admitting it, huh?" Chen You interrupted him.

"Then let me objectively evaluate your performance just now."

"The lyrics were terrible, forced rhymes. 'Opening' rhyming with 'turning over'? What world's rhyming scheme is that?"

"And the rhythm—it had a 4/4 time foundation, but you insisted on adding an off-beat in the middle. It makes people nauseous to listen to."

The old man's mouth began to twitch, his fingers digging desperately into the wooden floor.

Chen You continued his output. "The most ridiculous part was that 'yo'."

"It came in too abruptly, had absolutely no sense of rhythm, and completely ruined the setup you had before."

"With this level of skill, let alone being a World Boss, if you went to the village entrance to provide music for the dogs, even the dogs would find it too noisy."

The attic was so quiet that only the sound of rain outside remained.

Song Yixue gasped.

She felt that Chen You's mouth was even more venomous than that glowing sword.

The old man kept his head lowered, his shoulders beginning to heave.

At first, it was just a slight tremble, but then it turned into a low laugh.

"Hehe… Hahahaha!"

He jerked his head up, and his blind left eye unexpectedly lit up with a blinding blue light.

The wrinkles on his face began to distort and peel away, revealing the dark blue skin underneath.

"What do you know!"

Elder Dongxing's voice changed completely; it was no longer an old, raspy voice, but one accompanied by intense, metallic synthesized sound effects.

It was as if he came with a low-quality reverb unit.

"That was a Dark Tide Remix version I specially made to cater to the atmosphere of the deep sea!"

"That oppressive drumbeat, that trembling from the depths of the soul—how could a brute like you, who only knows how to slash people with a sword, possibly understand!"

He stood up abruptly, his originally hunched body beginning to grow taller, bursting through his ragged sailor suit.

"You can point your sword at my neck," the Star Sea King Projection's voice rose, carrying an angry electronic tone. "You can take my gold coins!"

"But!"

He shook his arms violently, and the tattered cloth strips wrapped around them instantly turned into two glowing bandages, moving on their own in the air without any wind.

"You absolutely cannot say my rap is no good!"

Chen You looked at the monster in front of him, whose size had surged to over two meters, emitting a blue fluorescent glow, and whose arms were wrapped in bandages, and calmly evaluated him with four words.

"Worthless."

This sentence became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

"Drop the beat!"

The Star Sea King Projection let out a deafening roar.

He didn't use any weapons; instead, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and swung them outward violently.

A visible blue sound wave exploded outward in a ring from him as the center.

At this moment, the air was compressed to the extreme, emitting a sharp, explosive sound.

The attic's wooden walls were instantly covered in cracks.

"Holy sh*t!"

Song Yixue in the corner only had time to let out a scream.

The sound wave swept across her body, and a huge red number instantly burst out above her head.

"-85700!"

Without any suspense, the level thirty-something female dwarf player didn't even finish her last words before turning into a streak of white light and being sent back to the respawn point.

Chen You stood where he was, not even raising his sword.

"Boom!"

Above his head, a number slowly floated up.

"-1."

The Star Sea King Projection maintained his arm-swinging pose, his two glowing blue eyes staring fixedly at the "-1" dissipating above Chen You's head.

His reverb sound effect glitched, emitting a "zzzt" crackling sound.

"You…" the Star Sea King Projection pointed at Chen You, his finger trembling. "Are you hacking?"

He had thought his strength had greatly improved during this time, so how could he still not break through this man's defense?

What the hell kind of defense stat is this?

Chen You brushed some non-existent dust off his clothes and gripped the yuhuang sword with a backhand grip.

"Your beat is no good," Chen You said, looking up with calm eyes. "Now, it's my turn."

Since the health bar was out, there was nothing left to say.

On the yuhuang sword, purple lightning began to jump frantically.

The violent aura of the Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder Orthodox Method instantly locked onto the Star Sea King Projection.

Feeling that thunderous power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, the Star Sea King Projection's blue skin instantly paled several shades.

The fear of being dominated by this sword before flashed rapidly through his mind.

He couldn't win.

Absolutely couldn't win.

These stats simply weren't something players at this stage should have!

"I warn you, the main body is already on the verge of awakening!" the Star Sea King Projection yelled, retreating while trying to sound tough.

"When the stars return to their positions, you will know what true fear is!"

"Too much chatter."

Chen You exerted force under his feet, his figure turning into an afterimage, the yuhuang sword carrying a piercing thunderclap as it went straight for the opponent's throat.

Just as the blade was about to touch the Star Sea King Projection.

"Check it out!"

The Star Sea King Projection shouted, his legs kicking off violently.

He didn't choose to parry, nor did he choose to slide.

He turned directly into a blue streak of lightning, slamming his head fiercely into the attic ceiling.

"Bang!"

Wooden planks shattered, and roof tiles flew everywhere.

The Star Sea King Projection forcibly smashed a large hole in the roof and shot up into the sky.

Chen You's sword slashed through empty air, and he looked up at the large hole in the roof.

In the heavy rain, a blue meteor was fleeing frantically at an incredibly exaggerated speed, shedding blue sparks of light as it ran.
