I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot - Chapter 582

Chapter 582: So Even The String Master Can Lose

Outer Space, the Moon Palace.

Qin Manyun and the String Master faced each other, sitting in the air with a Fuqin in front of them.

The feeling that they were facing off frustrated the String Master, he felt insulted. He was actually facing a Daluo Golden Immortal, if the word spread, he would be laughed at by every living being in the Chaos.

So, he prepared to end this Dao discussion quickly!

The String Master placed his hands on the zither, and sharply held one of the strings. “i hope you won’t immediately become a cripple when I let go of this string!”

Qin Manyun ignored him, and only seemed to care about her own zither.

The String Master narrowed his eyes, and with a cold snort, he let his finger go!

Twing!

The immense killing intent was like a rampaging wild horse, a shocking power flew straight toward Qin Manyun.

It was only one sound, but it was clear and deafening, and was more imperious than a drum. It seemed to form the face of a fierce ghost in the air, and headed straight at Qin Manyun!

At that moment, Qin Manyun started to play.

A calming music could be heard, it swept through like a gentle breeze, and actually managed to soothe the hearts of the people in the Heavenly Palace. The song was not aggressive at all, and seemed to live on its own, illustrating its own story.

That ghostly face rushed over, and when it touched Qin Manyun’s song, it was like dust meeting an intense wind, and was blown away immediately.

The song flowed like water, and was incredibly clear, slowly flowing and it covered the whole space.

“Amazing!”

Everyone exclaimed as they looked at Qin Manyun.

They never expected that Qin Manyun could actually disrupt the String Master’s attack, and it was with such a calm method, which made it feel miraculous.

“She actually blocked it.”

Taishang Elder could not help but be stunned, hanging in the air. He had an expression of disbelief as he looked at the calm Qin Manyun in confusion, and was suddenly filled with a sliver of hope.

“After so many years, I never expected my Eldritch World to give birth to such a talented person. I wonder who taught such a talented pupil.”

If he had noticed her back then, he would definitely have wanted to teach her.

The String Master furrowed his eyebrow as he finally started to get serious.

Twang twang twang!

Two different songs reverberated throughout space, intersecting and opposing each other, playing in everyone’s ears.

However, it did not cause anyone to feel like it was messing. It was two different realms, and they would not be ruined by a different song.

An intense storm started to form around them as the sounds of music carried their Dao and clashed against each other, causing the forces of nature to descend into chaos. Between them formed an empty void.

In there, the other forces had all been repelled, and all that remained was their Dao, fighting for dominance.

Closely after that, the void slowly started to expand, turning into a sphere that enveloped the whole Moon Palace. There, the two different songs played, causing everyone to hold their breaths as they felt an intense pressure.

In that situation, they did not dare to send their Dao out at all, because they knew very well that their Dao’s would be completely obliterated by the music if they were not resolved enough, crippling their Insights!

With the current situation, Qin Manyun’s performance had already exceeded Nuwa and Junjun’s. Her song did not seem to show any weaknesses, and she had calmly walked her own path from start to end, firm as a mountain without being stirred.

“Is this the expert’s doing?”

Qin Zhongshand and Bai Chen pursed their lips, feeling a deep sense of shock. Even the zither prodigy by his side was so powerful, it was unbelievable!

At the same time, they thought of Shi Tuqin from the Legendary Beast Sect. They felt that she was probably even more powerful than they imagined!

“It seems like you do have some skill.”

The String Master’s expression was a bit stiff as he smiled coldly, speeding up the rhythm of his playing, and the sound of his music turned into a cold killing intense from the original low and frantic playing. In the space, the originally formless Dao suddenly turned red!

The red was sharp as a knife, and it turned into countless ghostly faces. There were hundreds of thousands of dead soldiers that died in bloodshed, and the killing intent that filled the skies imperiously charged forward, causing everyone to shudder.

He was playing ‘Ambush’.

The song was just like its name, and the music had already entered an intense point. A killing aura that belonged on the battlefield surged out, seemingly threatening to swallow everyone whole. The music was incredibly frantic, and just the sound alone caused them to have difficulty breathing, their heartbeats were all disrupted by the song.

The immense Dao started to condense in the air, and even the onlookers started to be affected, their hearts freezing.

“He really is the String Master, his control of music is way too strong!”

“If it were me, under this situation, my Dao would have crumbled!”

“He hasn’t been able to take down Fairy Manyun, so he seems to have gotten impatient. Is he preparing to use his Dao to suppress her?”

“Most importantly, he’s using our song!”

The onlookers could not help but discuss among themselves before throwing their gazes toward Qin Manyun, deeply concerned.

Under such an intense song, it would be easy for Qin Manyun to lose her tempo, the moment that happened, her Insights would be diturbed, and she would be done for.

The man next to the String Master smiled. “She’s just a little candle, and she dares to fight against the master’s moonlight?”

He had no doubt that Qin Manyun would perish under his master’s music the next moment.

However, under the focus of everyone, Qin Manyun was still as she was earlier, calmly playing her zither. Her white dress moved without the wind, and she was just like a fairy, sitting atop the sky of the Moon Palace, not feeling anything from the outside world, completely immersing herself in the song!

Before she played, she repeated Li Nianfan’s teachings a second time, “You need to throw your heart into playing. Music is the key to conveying emotion, so you need to clearly think about what you want to convey. Only then can you maintain your heart. You play your own song, let him be as strong as he wants, a breeze can’t topple a mountain, let him do whatever he wants, and you illuminate everything!”

The horrifying army bellowed, surrounding Qin Manyun, as if they would kill her off the next moment.

Yet, around Qin Manyun, the music was like ripples on water, flowing smoothless, turning into a shield around her. No matter how hard the army tried, they could not enter.

In fact, as the crowd looked at Qin Manyun, their uneasy hearts started to calm down.

The man next to the String Master widened his eyes, as if he had seen something unbelievable. “How is this possible?!”

He could not help but look at the String Master, and when he saw the String Master’s reddening eyes, his heart started to pound as his mind went blank.

He knew very well, only when his master was incredibly serious did his master’s eyes glow red!

That meant that his master was incredibly serious at that moment, enough for his heart to burn in anger. His master really wanted to suppress his foe, yet…it was not happening!

That…was too unbelievable!

The opponent was just a Golden Daluo Immortal!

Unconsciously, a chill could be felt in the man’s heart, his world view had been shattered.

As for the Taishang Elder that was tied up by him, the man had his mouth open, and was already dumbfounded.

A miraculous girl, what a miraculous girl!

The Jade Emperor’s group was amazing, they actually managed to find a girl like that!

“Impossible, how is this possible?!”

The String Master no longer had the cold arrogance he did before, and with his red eyes, his voice sounded incredibly mad when he said, “How are you standing up to my Dao? Why are you only defending? Attack, attack if you have the ability to! The zither is a tool for killing!”

Normally, he would naturally not lose his composure so easily, but he could not accept the current situation!

The opponent was just a little girl, and she was only a Golden Daluo Immortal, not even an ant in his eyes. She should have been an invisible character!

She actually managed to hold him off?

His Dao was inferior to hers?

Then why did he train for countless years? Compared to her, was he not just a cripple?

He had wandered the Chaos, and seen and experienced an incredible amount of things. Being dealt such a huge impact was not something his arrogance could accept.

Twang twang twang!

At that moment, Qin Manyun’s song started to change.

If her song earlier was calm, tranquil and peaceful, then now, under that peace seemed to be a dark cloud, and thunder could be heard.

It was as if the mountain was about to be hit by a storm.

Following that, the song started to get sharper.

It was different from a whole army, the song was very humble, but still very sharp, as if it could pierce through everything.

Yao Mengji’s heart jumped, and he clenched his fist anxiously. “Qin Manyun…is about to start attacking?”

All of them felt the change in the song. Affected by the song, a tense atmosphere started to spread as they all shuddered.

‘Guangling San’

The song illustrated how Jing Ke killed the King of Qin.

It had perfectly illustrated the quiet and silence before assasinating Qin, as well as the tense atmosphere during the assassination.

Qin Manyun’s had already gone through the ambush, and the next part was pulling out the sword!

“Attacking, you actually dae to counterattack? Who do you think you are?!”

The String Master’s hands had already turned into afterimages as they danced on the Guqin. His hands could barely be seen, and he was not just playing one song, but the various songs that he knew, it was incredibly domineering!

Twang!

However, Qin Manyun seemed to ignore that domineering sight.

Jing Ke…would kill King Qin!

With the sharp sound of the zither, it was like the sharpest sword that could pierce through anything.

Bam!

The String Master’s army was still there, yet, the song had suddenly stopped!

Everything disappeared, and time seemed to stop.

The String Master sat there, unmoving. A sliver of blood started to drip out of the corner of his mouth.

It was not only him who was in disbelief, no one else dared to believe what had happened. Even though they had been hoping for a miracle, for a miracle to actually happen was unbelievable!

The man next to the String Master retreated a few steps in disbelief, unable to clear the shock in his heart.

They…they lost?

The String Master wandered the Chaos, discussing Dao with everyone. He had defeated an unknown number of geniuses, and after following him for so long, the man had almost forgotten that the String Master…could actually lose!

And, he lost to a little girl with extremely average cultivation.

If that news spread out, the whole Chaos would be in disarray!

Qin Manyun looked at the String Master, saying confidently but humbly, “The zither isn’t a tool for killing, it’s a tool to convey emotion.”

That was the first thing Li Nianfan taught her.

It was not just her before that, every zither cultivator probably thought that the zither was an instrument to transmit Dao, it was used to fight, and was a weapon for the strong.

Yet, Li Nianfan told her, playing the zither was entertainment, it could affect people, and was a medium to touch the feelings of others.

In just a simple sentence, it felt like cold water had been poured on her, causing her to start in realization!

At that moment, she awakened.

She started walking the true path of the zither!

Qin Manyun’s words caused the String Master to tremble, his nostrils flared as he mumbled, “I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it! I actually can’t see as much as a little girl.”

He could not help but think about countless years ago, about his memories that were already vague.

Then, he started to learn the zither, and he loved the sounds he could play, and others praised his music.

However, ever since he used his music to defeat an opponent, ever since his music killed the first person, his goals changed.

He pursued strengthening his music, he viewed the zither as his weapon, but he neglected its most basic function, and even viewed it as a joke.

“Fellow cultivator, can you release our friend now?” Cultivator Junjun’s voice interrupted the String Master’s thoughts.

He looked up, his eyes glinting as he looked at Qin Mayyun. “What song did you play?”

“Guangling San.

“It’s a miraculous song.”

The string Master exclaimed, and his eyes seemed to have a fiery temperament as he said full of emotion, “How did you obtain three godly songs like that with just your level of cultivation? And you, a mere Golden Daluo Immortal, even if you’re a genius, you shouldn’t have such a profound understanding of the zither. Tell me, what sort of chance encounter did you all obtain?!”

The crowd’s expressions sank. “You should just accept your loss, are you trying to go back on your words?”

“Hahaha, accept my loss? That would be the case if our skills were even! You weaklings are really naive.”

The String Master laughed coldly as he looked at Qin Manyun, the killing intent in his eyes seemingly solidifying as a horrifying aura exploded out. “I learned a lot from this match! However…you dared to beat me? You’ll have to pay for it by dying!”

After that, he raised his hand slowly, just like raising a leg to kill and an, and casually plucked the zither!

Twang!

This time, it was not discussing Dao, it was an attack from a Heavenly REalm Deity!

No one there would be able to defend against that, even if they all worked together, let alone Qin Manyun!

Even the space itself was destroyed as the aura of death swept across everyone, causing even their blood to stop flowing.

“Stop!”

“Shameless!”

The people of the Heavenly Palace shouted out. They were unwilling, angered and hopeless. They unleashed all of their power, using everything they had to try and stop that attack.

The Taishang Elder stared as it happened, and started to struggle with all his might. His eyes were red and his lips trembled as tears fell.

It was too difficult, with the String Master’s personality, there was no way they could stop that attack.

Yet, at that point, an overflowing aura started to erupt. That energy was immensely holy, and flowed out like a river. It felt limitless, yet was not overbearing. It was like a gentle breeze had passed, and easily swept away the String Master’s attack.

Everyone was stunned, and when they looked over, they saw that the air around Qin Manyune seemed to be twisted as Dao circled her, as if it was a cloak.

The flow of that Dao originated from Qin Manyun’s fingertips, causing her to raise her hand, and plucking a string of her zither as well!
