Chapter 115: A Single Word Subdues All Foes

Buzzing!

The piercing sound of the conch shell erupted, an incredibly loud and violent noise that made everyone’s bodies tremble, instinctively clutching their ears.

Su Ye was still descending from the sky, wind swirling at his feet, but the sudden blast of sound struck him, causing his body to shudder and all the vital energy within him to momentarily falter, as if drained of strength.

However, Su Ye knew well that he could not stop now; even if there were mountains of blades or seas of fire below, he had to press forward with a single step.

Bang!

He stomped down fiercely, but the Third Miss was quicker than him, flashing aside with her figure. His brutal strike merely landed on the ground.

The earth beneath him cracked into a semicircular pit from his stomp.

Bang bang!

Before Su Ye could steady himself, two warriors each delivered a kick aimed straight at his head. If one connected, even if it didn’t shatter his skull instantly, his facial features would undoubtedly be crushed.

“Lei Sheng!” Su Ye roared, as the thunder meridian within his body surged violently. It seemed the heavenly thunder sensed his will and fiercely rushed through his other channels.

His body immediately recoiled and flew backward at a terrifying speed!

This violent backward flight was not from Su Ye’s own force but as if the heavenly thunder itself dragged him away forcibly.

Screech—

Su Ye slid over thirty meters, narrowly escaping disaster.

“Huh? This guy’s up to something!” The two warriors exclaimed, their voices strangely uncontrollable in volume.

Su Ye furrowed his brow and noticed a faint glow emanating from their ears, clearly some kind of device inserted to block out the conch’s piercing sound. No wonder they weren’t afraid of it.

“Don’t listen to their conch sound!” Su Ye shouted, forcing his body down and springing forward once more.

The Third Miss sneered arrogantly and said, “Do you think my conch sound is something you can just block at will?”

With that, she spun the conch in her hand, brought it to her lips, and blew hard!

Buzzing—

At that instant, it seemed as though thousands of insects were flapping their wings, swarming from all directions as if to encircle and annihilate.

Su Ye, standing closest, bore the brunt of the attack.

His head suddenly exploded with a thunderous pain, as if struck hard by a giant iron hammer, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

But only for a moment—within his sea of consciousness, the phrase “Fiery Huang multitudes, gate of mysterious yin!” suddenly unleashed a powerful radiance, instantly dispelling the dizziness.

Su Ye trembled and regained clarity, his eyes immediately locking onto the Third Miss’s triumphant smile.

“Hmph, such a useless whelp dares call himself my opponent? No one can break my Conch Yin Skill!” The Third Miss boasted with absolute confidence, her proud expression laid bare.

Indeed, this Third Miss, named Wen Bibo, was the cherished jewel of the Illusion Sea Sect.

She had been especially favored since childhood. On her eighteenth birthday, the sect master gifted her this special conch and personally taught her the Conch Yin Skill, which only emboldened her domineering arrogance.

It was said this conch was a treasured artifact from a rare sea-dwelling race, and when combined with the Conch Yin Skill, its sound waves could be used to attack formidable foes.

There was even a rumor among warriors that while land-based fighters had the Lion’s Roar Technique, overseas there was the Conch Yin Skill.

This demonstrated just how terrifying the Conch Yin Skill truly was.

Wen Bibo gently removed the conch from her lips and continued, “I heard there was a boy from the Jiang family who took the Thunder Summoning Pearl. Could it be him? Go up and search!”

Su Ye’s heart tightened at her words, but he showed no reaction, still pretending to be stunned by the Conch Yin Skill. It seemed the warriors of the Illusion Sea Sect were not really avenging anyone; their primary goal was to find the Thunder Summoning Pearl! Was this Pearl really that important?

This legendary Thunder City even attracted the Illusion Sea Sect? What exactly was so enticing inside that city?

“Now’s the time!”

Seizing a great opportunity, Su Ye suddenly burst forward, unleashing a roaring wave of energy all around him. Thunder fire instantly dyed his hair crimson, making him look like a flaming man as he charged ahead.

Several warriors ahead were sent flying with a loud bang as he collided with them, and with one hand, he grabbed for Wen Bibo’s throat.

“What?” Wen Bibo’s face instantly changed. She clearly hadn’t expected Su Ye to recover at this moment.

Almost instinctively, she sprang back and raised the conch to her lips, blowing fiercely once again.

Snap—

Su Ye was not slow either; he immediately clutched her throat, the two locked in this deadly posture—one retreating violently, the other charging furiously.

Su Ye knew that if he could kill or capture her, the entire Illusion Sea Sect would be like toothless tigers, forced to obey him.

But Wen Bibo was no weakling. Even with her throat grasped, she still brought the conch to her mouth and blew hard.

Buzzing!

Once more, the sound of countless insects flapping their wings filled the air, causing the Jiang family warriors to freeze, their movements sluggish.

Su Ye was closest and suffered the strongest sonic assault.

“Demoness, you’re courting death!” Su Ye snapped back to clarity, shouting fiercely as the hand choking her suddenly went numb.

Unbeknownst to him, his hand was crawling with black, ant-like insects.

These furry, terrifying little creatures gnawed at his arm, instantly numbing it.

“What?”

“Ha ha ha, how do you like my little treasure bugs?” Wen Bibo laughed, flipping her body sharply to slip from Su Ye’s grasp.

Her eyes swept the battlefield without hesitation as she shouted, “Jiang family warriors, if you resist, I’ll leave none of you alive—”

Clang clang clang—

Suddenly, a series of dense bell chimes rang out sharply in the night sky.

The warriors, previously stunned by the Conch Yin Skill, all regained their senses.

Many instinctively glanced back, knowing that within the Huaping Manor stood an old house housing an ancient bell. They hadn’t expected anyone to ring it at such a time.

Though not a sonic technique, the bell’s sound was enough to counter most of the Conch Yin Skill’s effect.

If they couldn’t hear the conch’s call, they would be unaffected.

Wen Bibo’s face darkened with fury upon seeing this, knowing her skill had lost much of its power. She pointed toward the old house and ordered, “Kill them!”

At the same time, she shook the conch violently, unleashing wave after wave of flying ants.

Su Ye’s arm was numb, and suddenly two kicks struck him, sending him flying backward. He swiftly turned his head and faintly saw a light shining from the old house.

There stood the delicate figure of Jiang Liuying.

Unexpectedly, whenever it came to moments like this, the young girl always had sudden inspirations. But now, those warriors were rushing straight toward her.

The girl apparently had no idea that danger was approaching.

What was even more terrifying was that even if the warriors could defend themselves, the tiny flying ants emerging from the conch were so small and concealed by the darkness that they were virtually invisible.

By the time anyone noticed, it would be far too late.

“Get away—” Su Ye shouted angrily, but evidently his voice did not reach Jiang Liuying’s ears. Yet he could clearly see both the warriors and the ants charging forward.

Seeing Su Ye fall to the ground, Wen Bibo laughed heartily and said coldly, “I heard on my way here that the Jiang family in Yang City produced a genius. I thought he was impressive, but now I see he’s nothing! Under my flying ants and Conch Yin Skill, you’re like three-year-olds.”

As if to prove her point, many Jiang family warriors emitted agonized screams.

“Ah, what is this? They have hidden weapons!”

“Insects! These bugs suck blood and cause numbness! Be careful!”

Even Jiang Ziyang was knocked flying by a palm strike.

“We are the kings of the darkness! Wherever the sea breeze blows, we shall be invincible!” Wen Bibo declared arrogantly, her tone suddenly turning cold as she gritted her teeth, “You’re special, immune to my Conch Yin Skill, but how many can you save? Hand over your Thunder Summoning Pearl! Don’t force me to act myself! Otherwise, they will all die!”

“You are the king of the darkness?”

Su Ye suddenly stood up, a wild thought flashing through his consciousness.

Since he could use the ancient script of the “Three Thousand Fiery Huang Calamities” to dispel sonic attacks, could he not do the same for everyone else?

“If you are the king of the darkness, then I will disperse this darkness! Erase the night!”

With that, he planted his feet firmly on the ground, and a radiant glow burst forth from his body.

In an instant, he became the brightest presence in the night.

“Reveal yourself!”

Boom—

An ancient character soared from above his head, rising higher and swelling larger as it ascended, radiating scorching light that could not be concealed.

With a hum, the colossal character hung suspended in the night sky.

Because of its blazing radiance, no one could make out which ancient character it was, but under its illumination, the entire world instantly became brilliantly bright, as if standing beside a massive bonfire.

The terrifying insects, exposed to the light, all fell to the ground, stiff and lifeless...
