Chapter 752: Chapter 752 – Those who Break the Zither Strings will Play Soul Breaking Song
Chapter 752: Those who Break the Zither Strings will Play Soul Breaking Song
After that loud explosion, Little North had been paying close attention to the actions at the front yard . Since the sounds came from that side and since the wall had collapsed completely, that side became the side that received the direct assault from Towering Palace and Class One Hall’s firepower, but he did not expect that even when Silver Wolf personally led a group of people to fight against the onslaught, someone still managed to get on the roof to endanger Wind Chimes, who was controlling the war situation .
Unfortunately, the manpower at the back yard was much weaker, and Little North also suffered from a lot of pressure . He did not have time to spare for anything else, and he could only do his best to kill the elites from Towering Palace and those mysterious Dragon Sect elites as quickly as possible .
At that moment, all three of his zombie puppets were pretty battered . They were placed in the branch, and they had already lost all use for battle . The only creature he had who could help him in his offense now was Golden Thread Snake King .
‘Damn it, if only Momo and Ancient Wind were here…’
For the first time, Little North felt that he could not quite handle the situation . There were too many elites around him, and all of them were not easy to deal with . The same ambush tactics simply did not work on them .
But the situation was quickly taking a turn for the worse, causing him to have no chance to continue carefully and calmly search for opportunities to attack . He could only create those opportunities on his own .
He opened the bamboo tube quietly .
Whoosh!
A golden thread shot out like lightning and moved in the crowd . After circling through the crowd one round, it went to attack a Dragon Sect elite’s back .
That person had actually been keeping his eye on Little North for a long time . He did not care about the attacks from the two enemies behind him but turned around resolutely, smiled coldly, and cut down fiercely and accurately on Golden Thread Snake King’s body with his saber .
“Break!”
Golden Thread Snake King might be small, and it was difficult to injure it, but it was still just a poisonous creature . Its body had not been trained to the point that it was as sturdy as steel .
The saber glare cut through the snake, and the golden snake’s thread-like body was instantly cut in half .
That Dragon Sect elite laughed loudly .
That Golden Thread Snake King had been the jinx they were most wary of at the backyard . It had already killed no fewer than four of their own with its bite, and right now, at the very least, they got rid of a huge worry in their hearts .

But he clearly forgot something else .
Golden Thread Snake Kings had always been fierce creatures that relied on speed and their element of surprise to kill people, but why was it necessary for them to circle around their target once before they attacked?
A chill ran down his back .
Almost at the moment Golden Thread Snake King was cut down, Little North came over with a resolute expression and tore at that Dragon Sect elite’s throat with his poisonous claws without hesitation .
The black and foul-smelling claws blocked off all his paths of retreat .
There was blood on his hands . Little North did not hesitate . He crouched down and hesitated and let the Mu Clan members beside him deal with the remainder of the fight .
Just as he expected, since the Mu Clan members at the backyard had worked with Little North for a long period of time over the war, claw marks appeared on his body, and without hesitation, they released their strongest attacks .
That Dragon Sect elite’s speed instantly fell by half . He could not break free from the encirclement, and he was instantly cut down by weapons swinging down at him!
One life for another .
Golden Thread Snake King used its life in exchange for a Dragon Sect elite’s life .
Little North cast a regretful glance at Golden Thread Snake King’s carcass, and he also felt a pang in his heart . This was practically a demon vessel that can be considered a killing move . He did not expect that it will be destroyed just like this .
But the battle situation had been pressing down on him . If he could kill one more elite, he will be able to lower the pressure his clan members at the backyard had to suffer . Little North quickly collected his thoughts, hid in the dark, and searched for his next target .
But at that moment, a small commotion suddenly rose in the crowd .
Little North was stunned .
When he turned his head around to look, he saw some of the familiar faces he once killed, and they had returned to the battlefield to be among the frontlines attacking the backyard . His pupils shrank very quickly, and his face instantly turned much paler .
The Mu Clan members at the backyard sucked in sharp breaths, and the pressure he felt increased by leaps and bounds!
Dragon Sect elites…
Those Dragon Sect elites, numbering to more than ten, were Dragon Sect elites they killed previously . At that moment, they had appeared in the battlefield again, and judging from their situation, they must have taken in top-class medicinal pills like Illusion Life and Death Pills that could dispel the severely weakened and injured status that will be added to them when they died .
‘What a huge amount of money they spent on these people .
‘They resurrected all Dragon Sect elites in one go . Looks like Towering Palace is determined to destroy Mu Clan within a short amount of time…’

Little North said nothing .
Once those men in black joined the battlefield, half of the people worked together with Towering Palace’s elites to give endless pressure to the Mu Clan members at the backyard . The other half rushed to the roof .
The Dragon Sect elite at the roof had not dealt with the four elites who were protecting Wind Chimes .
The elites Silver Wolf asked to stay at the roof were aces in Mu Clan . They might not be as good as true martial artists, but their equipment and skills their mastered were definitely much better than these Dragon Sect elites .
And during the time those aces fought against the Dragon Sect elite, Wind Chimes’ demonic sounds tore through the air above the battlefield and continuously harvested the Towering Palace members’ lives, which was why she became the greatest thorn in the flesh for Clear Music!
“Wind Chimes, hurry up and leave that place!”
When the few Mu Clan aces who received orders to protect Wind Chimes at the roof saw the Dragon Sect elites who flew over, they instantly flew into panic .
Wind Chimes smiled in anguish, but she continued playing the zither without moving from her spot .
‘Leave this place? But where am I supposed to go to?’
The zither sounds continued ringing . Wind Chimes did not even attack the Dragon Sect elites who approached her . Instead, she saw a few people in the front yard who had showed joy on their faces and had become relaxed when they saw Dragon Sect elites jump to the roof, and her notes suddenly changed!
She plucked a few zither strings!
Clang!
A piercing sound rose on the roof .
Wind Chimes suddenly did something that no one could understand .
She plucked the strings a few times, and she resolutely broke all six zither strings .
She continuously played piercing Soul Breaking Sounds!
The people beside her were not affected . They only thought that Wind Chimes noticed that she was faced with imminent disaster, and she was already prepared to sacrifice herself, but only one person at the front yard knew the true meaning behind those Soul Breaking Sounds .
Silver Wolf shuddered, and he finally noticed the situation on the roof . A bone-chilling glare and fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes until his callous silver mask .
*****
‘”Big Brother Silver Wolf, are you really sent by my master?”‘
Silver Wolf said nothing .
*****
“‘Why do you constantly wear a mask and not say anything?”‘
Silver Wolf said nothing .
‘”Blockhead!”‘
*****
‘”Big Brother Silver Wolf, you’re injured…”‘
“‘I’m fine . ”‘
“‘I’ll play something for you, then you won’t feel any pain anymore . ”‘
Silver Wolf said nothing .
*****
‘”Big Brother Silver Wolf, my master asked me to go back… but I don’t want to . ”‘
“‘You’re a girl, and you’re carrying around such a heavy casket everyday . It’ll be really troublesome if there is no one protecting you… Come with me . I’ll bring you to Mu Clan for the time being . ”‘
“‘This is great! My master agreed to it!”‘
Silver Wolf said nothing, but he smiled .
“‘Big Brother Silver Wolf, you look so bashful when you smile . But my master said that once you’re unable to protect me anymore or when I don’t need your protection, I was to leave . But you’re so awesome, and if you can’t protect me, who can? Hehehe . ”
Silver Wolf said nothing .
*****
The memories flashed in Silver Wolf’s mind like a parts of a movie . Silver Wolf then remembered something he said before the battle .
His expression had been stern then .
‘”Wind Chimes, our branch in Yangzhou might not be able to escape from this disaster this time . I promised your master that I won’t let anything happen to you . Once the defense line is broken and I can’t protect you, I will have some clan members send you to the underground prison in the branch . At that time, you must remember to hide inside . ”‘
“‘I’ll stay with you . ”‘ Wind Chimes glared at him with puffed up cheeks . “‘I’m also a part of Mu Clan now . Besides, if you’re in danger as well and can’t protect me, I will definitely think of a way to protect you!”‘
“‘…Don’t be reckless . At that time, you just need to log off and hide for a while . Wait for my call and log in during that time . Happy is already on his way here to Yangzhou!”‘
“‘I’m not going to!”‘ Her stubborn voice continuously echoed in Silver Wolf’s ears . “‘Big Brother Silver Wolf, you’ve been protecting me for a long time, and this time, it’s my turn to protect you . You have to remember that the ultimate technique in Six-fingered Demonic Zither is not in its murderous sounds or soul capture sounds . Instead, it’s its Soul Breaking Sound . Once the strings are snapped, my soul will be damaged . When my zither is broken, I will die . It’s a death song that will break my soul, and it’s one that will use up all my life and strength . At that time, I should be able to create an opportunity for us . ”‘
“‘Quiet! Don’t say anything else!”‘
*****
He stopped reminiscing at that moment .
Silver Wolf’s eyes had already become misty, because at that moment, Wind Chimes had already snapped her final zither string . Her hands were covered in blood, and she stared at the front yard while she placed her hands on her zither calmly . Her expression was stern, and a sound that caused restlessness in the air rose!
Bang!
At the moment a powerful force traveled out from her back, Wind Chimes channeled that force into her zither .
Thud!
The zither was broken .
A shrill and clear sound that was accompanied by the lonely face of a beauty . She played the most crucial note for this death song that broke her soul .
During that moment, the weather changed above Mu Clan’s branch!

And even with all the power I gain... The world ends on a Tuesday. ... This is currently a completed story arc, though it's not the end. New updates are starting March 28, 2022. Actively updating. Mostly on Mondays/Thursdays. WARNING: FLAWED MC and not great early writing. Edits are on the list. ... *LitRPG-Isekai start with a return to Earth to stop the System apocalypse goal. Still a first draft, but with a bunch of edits from you guys thrown in. Thanks for that. Guaranteed updates on Monday and Thursday. This story is only available on RoyalRoad and my Patreon. If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."

To complete his mission he needs a dragon but the road to the dragon’s lair goes horribly wrong, and when he finally faces the beast he stands alone.

With the help of some dedicated friends they realize their love is special, and go on to forge a new world befitting their unusual union. If you like dragons, romance, a little magic and a lot of war this might be for you. This story eventually evolves into a very loving harem, where the women rely on and love one another just as much as they love our hero. Please note: I am an amateur writer who started this story as a form of therapy while my wife was teetering on the brink of death. Thankfully she survived but by that point I was so committed to telling this story I couldn’t stop. I learned a great deal about writing over time but I am afraid my early chapters were very rough. I have since gone back and begun to edit them, applying the lessons learned and cleaning them up. I hope you will still enjoy the story, as I love sharing it and I can’t imagine a better use of my time. Sexual content.. In seven books I have written two sex scenes, but one of them will be highly edited once I reach them with my rewrite. Overall I imply our characters are sharing their love but don't go into any great detail as to how. So if sexual content bothers you, it is only lightly touched on twice.
