Chapter 768 A single flute melody claimed the lives of tens of thousands!
Shi Hao looked at Zhu Chen's message and was about to say something in the group chat.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a flute melody suddenly rang out, its melodious notes appearing directly in this blood-red world.
The flute's clear and melodious sound is like a mountain spring or a gentle breeze under the moon, making one feel refreshed and relaxed upon first hearing it.
However, upon closer listening, one could discern a chilling undercurrent.
Shi Hao and the others turned around instantly, following the sound of the flute, and saw a figure standing quietly above the haunted nest.
He was a young man, dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome face and a gentle and refined demeanor.
A jade flute rested near his mouth, his slender fingers gently pressing on the flute holes.
The melodious flute music came from the jade flute.
The man looked down at Shi Hao and the others, nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.
The other person's smile was like a gentle spring breeze, but Shi Hao sensed a strong killing intent within it.
This killing intent was not outwardly displayed, but rather deeply hidden in his bones, like a venomous snake lurking in the grass, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
"Everyone be careful... this guy is dangerous."
Shi Hao gave a low shout and stood in front of Qin Hao and Qian Renxue without hesitation.
Shi Yi, Long Nu, and Chang Gongyan all became vigilant.
Their eyes were all fixed on the man in blue.
"Who is he?"
Qian Renxue asked with a wary look.
Shi Hao did not answer his question. Instead, he immediately opened the chat group, took a screenshot of the man's figure and appearance, and sent it to the group.
[Shi Hao: @Zhu Chen, Brother Zhu Chen, is this the immortal you mentioned before?]
After he sent the message, Zhu Chen's reply popped up almost instantly.
[Zhu Chen: That's him! Be careful, this person's methods are extremely terrifying, don't underestimate him!]
Shi Hao was startled when he saw Zhu Chen's confirmation.
It turns out that this guy is the demon who orchestrated events across several eras, nourishing the precious technique with the blood and flesh of countless geniuses.
"Are you the banished immortal?"
Shi Hao looked at the immortal and asked, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.
The immortal put down the jade flute from his lips and smiled slightly: "I didn't expect anyone would still remember my name."
He looked down at Shi Hao, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Your name is Huang? I know you. You killed Di Chong's secondary body in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the Dark Saint in Bright City, and Ning Chuan's spirit body in the Fallen Immortal Ridge. Not bad, you are a good opponent."
"Unfortunately, you're going to die here today too."
Shi Hao sneered: "You?"
The banished immortal did not answer, but simply put the jade flute into his sleeve and then slowly extended his right hand.
The next second, a conch shell appeared out of thin air in his palm.
The conch shell wasn't big, only about the size of a fist, but Shi Hao sensed a terrifying, suffocating power emanating from it.
"This is... an astronomical conch shell?"
Shi Yi recognized the conch shell in the immortal's hand, and his expression changed drastically.
Shi Hao turned to look at him: "You recognize this thing?"
Shi Yi nodded and said, "Legend has it that there was a great weapon in ancient times, shaped like a conch shell, with enough power to destroy the world. I never thought that this thing would be in his hands."
The immortal gently stroked the astronomical conch shell and said calmly, "I have refined this thing seven times, nourishing it with the blood and flesh of countless geniuses in each life. Now, its power has reached its peak. It is an honor for you to die under its power."
He held the conch shell to his mouth and blew on it gently.
"—Ugh!!!"
A deep, resonant sound rang out. This sound seemed to contain a terrifying power.
The moment that power surged forth, it transformed into ripples that spread out in all directions.
Wherever the ripples passed, the corpses on the ground were shattered into dust, leaving not even a trace of blood mist.
"Back off quickly..."
Shi Yi quickly took out a broken stone seal from his pocket, then gripped it tightly and gave it a powerful shake.
In an instant, a beam of chaotic light shot out from the stone seal, shattering all the ripples that had enveloped it.
Upon seeing this, the Dragon Girl and Chang Gongyan immediately summoned their magical artifacts and joined forces to block the terrifying conch shell sound.
Shi Hao went even further, adopting an offensive strategy as his defense. Without hesitation, he activated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force within his body, transforming into a phantom of a dragon and elephant. With a powerful stomp in the void, he shattered all the conch shell sound waves that were rippled outwards, while also protecting Qin Hao and the Taiyin Jade Rabbit behind him.
However, the first generation, who had just managed to escape, was not so lucky.
They had just escaped from the haunted house, and were all injured and had exhausted most of their spiritual energy.
Faced with the terrifying attack of the Astronomical Conch, they had no powerful magical artifacts to counter it.
The ripples of the conch shell's sound swept over their bodies, and their skin immediately began to crack.
Large amounts of blood seeped from the cracks, and then the entire body shattered like porcelain, turning directly into pools of bloody mud.
The scene was too horrific to witness!
"No, save me..."
"I don't want to die..."
"Please, have mercy on me..."
Screams followed one after another.
At this moment, everyone is running for their lives.
In just a few breaths, all those arrogant first-generation prodigies outside fell down, and even their primordial spirits failed to escape.
A moment later.
As the sound of the conch shell faded away, apart from Shi Hao, Shi Yi, the Dragon Girl, Chang Gongyan, and others, no other living beings survived in this mountainous area.
The corpses of the first generation, along with their treasures, were all reduced to dust by the mule's roar and scattered across the world.
"So strong."
Chang Gongyan gazed at the fallen first generation of geniuses, his face pale, his hand holding the bow trembling slightly.
He never dreamed that there could be such terrifying people in the world.
Not to mention that a single flute melody led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of cultivators.
The mule's voice was so terrifying that even the original generation couldn't escape it.
"He seemed to have held back just now, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have been able to block the sonic attack from that Astronomical Conch so easily..."
The Dragon Girl frowned, carefully recalling all the details from before.
Shi Yi put away the stone seal, looked at the banished immortal above the evil nest, and said coldly, "Although this astronomical conch is powerful, your cultivation is not enough to unleash its full power. You can kill those trash, but you can't kill us."
The immortal looked at them and nodded slightly: "Not bad, you are indeed stronger than those good-for-nothings, but... do you think that's all? That last time was just a test. This time, it won't be so easy for you..."
He raised the astronomical conch shell to his mouth again.
This time, he blew even harder.
"—Waaaaaah!!!"
The eerie snail-like sound rang out again.
This time, the ripples from the sound waves were no longer circles, but transformed into beams of light that shot directly towards Shi Hao and the others.
