Zither Emperor Vol 4 Chapter 25.3

Chapter 25 – Level 8 Violet Ranked Beauties (III)

　　—————————————————————

Although Angel’s strength could terrify others, her body was very soft. Unfortunately, Ye Yin Zhu’s current position was highly uncomfortable.

After a short while, Angel suddenly stopped. Her beautiful figure twirled in mid-air and descended to the ground. The environment around them was a forest, something Ye Yin Zhu was certain of. They were at least no longer in Milan City. As for this place, he didn’t recognize it.

Angel clasped a hand on Ye Yin Zhu’s shoulder, glancing at Anya as she gently fell down to the floor with them. She commented, “Don’t rush so quickly into action! Otherwise… I might not be able to guarantee your little lover’s safety.”

“He is not my lover; he’s merely my employee. Release him.” Anya coldly glared at Angel.

Angel laughed lightly. “He’s really not? When he plays, though, I saw a look of unprecedented devotion on your face. Your expression betrays you.”

Anya’s eyes flashed with severity. “What nonsense are you talking about? How can a relationship between him and I be possible? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how old we are compared to humans?”

Angel said, “I certainly haven’t forgotten, but even if our ages are high, we are equivalent to a 30-year-old or so human. We are still awfully young. Even if your little lover becomes old, it is unlikely we will change greatly, no?”

“We humans? Don’t tell me… that you aren’t human?” Ye Yin Zhu inquisitively asked. He could now speak, but only that.

The expression on Angel’s face was cold, and she paid no attention to Ye Yin Zhu as she said to Anya, “I will give you one last chance. Hand over those items, and I will return your little lover to you, never to disturb your life from now on. If not, I will kill him and fight you for them.”

“No, I absolutely cannot give you those items. You don’t deserve them,” Anya hatefully said. At this moment, she seemed to be recalling painful memories. The grace on her beautiful, charming face vanished. Her icy aura seemed to freeze the atmosphere.

“So, I can only kill him then.” As she spoke, Angel tightened the hand holding Ye Yin Zhu’s shoulder, causing him to nearly succumb to that crazy strength. What appeared to be dou qi and some special magical energy rushed into Ye Yin Zhu’s body, seemingly ripping his body to shreds.

“Don’t!” Anya involuntarily cried out, rapidly throwing herself forward as fast as lightning.

Angel didn’t actually intend to kill Ye Yin Zhu, so her hand relaxed slightly, lessening her strength a bit. Ye Yin Zhu was then sent flying back, dodging Anya’s attack.

Scorching streams of air emitted from all of the bones in his limbs. An acute pain pierced his shoulder, which was seemingly the origin of this heat. As a surging warmth circulating through him, Ye Yin Zhu cried out as his black eyes became deep violet in a flash. Angel felt her hand slip as Ye Yin Zhu’s shoulder suddenly became incomparably hard and slippery. The Divine Celestial Protection Robe burst forth, filled with an elastic power, causing that special aura-filled hand of hers to bounce off of Ye Yin Zhu’s shoulder.

“Yi!” Angel cried out. Not waiting for her to react, Anya pounced forward with all her strength. Both of their hands made contact, causing an explosion that made the both of them recoil. The out-of-luck Ye Yin Zhu was luckily not at the center of their collision. As a result of the aftershock of their collision, a powerful earthquake rumbled into being.

Falling gently to the ground, Angel looked at her hand suspiciously. She hadn’t expected Ye Yin Zhu to actually be capable of escaping her grasp.

The Divine Celestial Protection failed when he was flying, but when his spiritual force was liberated, he could finally bring out its might. With the Divine Celestial Protection releasing milky white rays of light to protect him, he had little injuries after being thrown away, almost knocking over several trees in the process. In the end, only his shoulders ached a little. Angel had injected energy into his body, so it was continuously wreaking havoc within him. Fortunately the indescribable warmth inside his body unceasingly rushed forth and gradually dispersed that destructive force.

Subconsciously picking at the Divine Celestial Protection cloth on his shoulder, he took a glance and was amazed to discover there was actually a layer of violet crystal over it. At this moment, the violet crystal’s color was gradually dulling, slowly integrating with his body.

Anya shakily flew down to the ground. Without a pause or an opportunity to catch her breath, she pounced forward once more. Her body transformed into seven silhouettes in mid-air, each figure attacking Angel from a different direction. Her body unexpectedly radiated pure violet rays of light. Violet Rank. That’s right; Anya was Violet Ranked. Not only that, but her body’s violet radiance was very deep.

Angel groaned. “Still not going to say he’s your little lover? So desperate, are you not afraid I’ll harm him? You don’t want to force my hand— because I will retaliate.” She formed a circle with her hands above her chest. A violet ball of liquid formed from the thick substances emitting from her body. She was actually using violet elemental energy, its color as deep as Anya’s. There clearly wasn’t much of a difference between their strengths.

If Ferguson were here, he would have been shocked to discover that these two beautiful, young women unexpectedly possessed Violet Rank Level 8 strength. Yes, this was Violet Rank Level 8.

“Yin Zhu.” In the depths of his soul, a pulling sensation echoed forth. Ye Yin Zhu clearly felt his body being dragged away from the fight into another dimension. Everything before him became blurred. His surroundings were empty as what appeared to be countless shadows flitted past him.

Anya and Angel’s collision of energy created an astonishing scene as, in a flash, Ye Yin Zhu’s body flew into the distance, gradually fading away until he completely disappeared.

His surroundings once again became clear, and he realized he had arrived in an unfamiliar region. The air was very cold, significantly colder than where he was before. There was no forest, only overgrown hills. In the distance, he could see remnants of snow. He was currently on top of a small hill, but he was not here alone; there was someone here that Ye Yin Zhu was dear to and highly familiar with.

“Zi, where am I?” Ye Yin Zhu looked pleasantly at the tall figure standing to the side. The previously empty domain that left him out of sorts had already gone up in smoke.

Zi gazed at Ye Yin Zhu, his profound and calm gaze holding a bit of rebuke. “This is the Northern Wasteland. Yin Zhu, why didn’t you summon me when you came across a threat? Yesterday and today this has happened. Are you no longer my brother?”

At this moment, Ye Yin Zhu suddenly saw the light. It turned out Zi could sense when he was in danger through the Equal Life Contract, so he summoned him here. He didn’t know, but it was rather fortunate. Back at the forest, the two Violet Rank Level 8 peak experts were battling, and a stray bit of power was already enough to harm him. If he didn’t die, he would certainly be seriously hurt. Furthermore, he was Angel’s target.

“No, Zi. We are undoubtedly brothers. Yesterday, I was certain I could respond to the danger, so I didn’t summon you. And earlier, everything happened so rapidly. I didn’t even see…” As he trailed off, Ye Yin Zhu scratched his head with some embarrassment.

Zi helplessly said, “Yin Zhu, you need to bear this in mind. Regardless of what happens, if you are in danger, you must summon me immediately. There is no need to worry at all. Fortunately, this time you weren’t fighting. Otherwise, even if I wanted to summon you to save you, it would have been impossible.”

“Zi, don’t say things like this. I can stay here for at least an hour. Here, I prepared a gift for you. I had planned to summon you this evening to give it to you.”
