Crown of Silence

Chapter 420 Washing the Blood with Blood

"Time, please stop."

"Just because you are so beautiful."

In the distant singing, the pinnacle movement from "Faust" was activated, and the clock ran, burned to red, and almost self-destructed.

As a result, time in the sea of ​​ether came to an abrupt end. All changes in music theory are forcibly stagnated and frozen.

This time, it follows the music theory of the ‘Forbidden School’, rather than targeting ‘stagnation’ in the material world.

That melody directly acts on the ether, causing the sea of ​​ether here to stop changing and no longer respond to the real world. It also forcibly cut off the way for musicians to resonate with the sea of ​​ether, knocking all musicians out of resonance.

And at that moment, an inconspicuous cavalryman in the team suddenly stretched out his hand, raised his finger, his armor trembled, and countless notes flowed on his fingertips, outlining a huge structure and outline, shaking towards the frozen ether sea.

In an instant, the surrounding air became faintly distorted, as if being pulled by a huge gravitational force. That is the formed music theory interfering with matter and distorting reality.

——Distortion level!

Among this team of cavalry, there is actually a musician who is only one step away from the master level!

The music theory is entrusted with endless changes, and the layers of formulas are deduced in an instant, bursting out, like a burning hammer, trying to break the ice.

collapse!

The music theory collided, causing a harsh noise, and everyone's eyes went dark.

The expression of the 'cavalry' suddenly changed, and the raised finger shook, cracking like a bamboo joint, and blood flew out, or evaporated in the chaotic music theory, or froze, or disappeared without a trace.

From the fingertips to the elbows, the iron armor was twisted, like a piece of dried kelp, broken inch by inch, revealing the tragic flesh and blood.

"how come……"

He murmured dully, and there was a clear cracking sound in his chest, his internal organs ruptured, and he fell off the horse.

In an instant, the sea of ​​ether completely froze.

In the crowd, several people's faces suddenly turned pale. It's like a sudden loss of a very important sense, like blindness, deafness, loss of voice, and loss of touch.

The resonant musician exists with the etheric sea at all times, and is transcended and sublimated by it. As the sea of ​​ether froze, the resonance of the source point disappeared, and almost instantly, it was knocked down from the resonance level.

Unless you are a master who forged the Chapter of Destiny, you will not be able to resist this terrible suppression.

Only then did the dull crowd let out a cry of astonishment.

Chaos spread from the crowd. Under the control of the hidden mental movement, fear and panic broke out instantly. The crowd fled in all directions. In an instant, the city gate became a mess.

"Ye Qingxuan..."

During the chaos, Colt stared at the broken face of the musician, raised his head, looked around, and roared: "Get out, Ye Qingxuan! I know you are here!"

No one responded.

In this afternoon, under the blazing afternoon sun, among the flying dust, only hoarse and distant singing came.

"The doomsday judgment is coming, the fire spreads across the tomb, burning the internal organs, and the soul wanders away from the underworld."

Under the city gate, the old harpist plucked the strings and sang in a low voice, offering a hymn to the hero: "Oh, Lazarus, how can you repay your debt?"

"Oh, Lazarus, are you panicking?"

Colt suddenly raised his head and looked into the crowd. Behind the crowd, the old violinist lowered his head and sang hoarsely.

As if an invisible switch had been flipped, behind Colt, the priest in black's eyes suddenly became blank. He raised his hand unconsciously, and a crossbow slipped out of his robes and was held in his hand.

As if he had practiced thousands of times, he pressed the back of Colt's head and pulled the trigger.

The machine spring was released, and dark green poisonous arrows shot out.

At that moment, Colt lowered his head, turned over, and rolled off the saddle. The crossbow arrow flew past his hair and nailed into the shoulder of the leading knight.

It was just a broken skin, and the knight fell head-on, half-body paralyzed. Soon, his lips turned black and his face was swollen.

This is not a poison, but a concentrated coagulant that is even more terrifying than the poison. Psalm musicians used it to stop the bleeding of seriously injured soldiers on the battlefield, but if the concentration changed by one number after the decimal point, it would turn the injured into a living rubber figure, with the blood all over his body coagulated and incurable.

"The curse cannot be broken, there is no cure, and there is nowhere to confess, so where can you pray?"

The old harpist sang hoarsely: "O Lazarus, how will your debt be repaid?

Oh, Lazarus, are you panicking?"

After missing an arrow, the priest aimed his hand crossbow again and pulled the trigger. Colt pulled the shield on the back of the cavalryman beside him and blocked it in front of him.

Screams and collisions sounded one after another. The crossbow arrows hit the kite-shaped shield, dented one by one, broke and fell to the ground, and were trampled to pieces by the frightened horses.

Behind the shield, Colt drew his sword and stabbed the priest's horse's neck suddenly. The horse screamed and the man stood up, knocking the sluggish priest off the horse. Soon, the chaotic horse's hooves trampled him into a piece of flesh. .

But even to death, the priest still had a hollow look in his eyes, his lips opened and closed, muttering something silently.

"Ye Qingxuan..."

Colt suddenly turned around and looked at the violinist with a ferocious expression: "It's really you!"

"Time is short and death hastens it."

The violinist sang hoarsely and plucked the strings: "Look, the fire is burning my body. It is burning my soul and seeping into my bones. There is nowhere to hide, there is no escape, and there is nowhere to escape!"

"Take down the attacker!"

Colt roared, ordering the knights: "No, kill him on the spot! Kill him on the spot!"

Behind the crowd, he reined in his horse and stared coldly at Ye Qingxuan's face.

"Don't dream, Ye Qingxuan." He whispered softly, "If you can't kill me in hell, it's the same here! The winner is me, and it will always be me!

If he was still afraid at the beginning, he is no longer afraid now.

Ye Qingxuan has gone completely crazy...

This is the Holy City!

I don't know how many schools, masters, and musicians gather here. The world's largest barrier shrouds the city day and night. The Temple of Stars monitors the ether fluctuations of the entire human world. It is the most heavily guarded place in the world!

Here, even the Secret Keeper School can no longer provide him with any cover. The moment he chose to take action, he had become the enemy of the Holy City!

No one can save him anymore!

But for some reason.

He felt a little panic in his heart.

Why... has there been no response from the Holy City until now? He looked at the city gate from the corner of his eye, but on the bustling streets, everything seemed to be the same, and nothing unusual happened.

Even now, no one has discovered that God A despicable murder is happening at the gate of the Holy City!

With every passing second, he felt more uneasy.

What on earth is going on?

He gritted his teeth, gripped the reins tightly, and his knuckles turned white.

The knights drew their swords, the horses panted, and the sound of iron hooves sounded like a rainstorm.

Dozens of knights urged their horses to gallop over, and their heavy swords dragged on the ground, leaving shocking cracks.

Beside Colt, several knights took off their visors, played music, and gathered ether, even though they had been knocked down to resonate. , but when everyone joined forces in unison, they still released several shackles in an instant.

The earth surged, the fire brewed, the air condensed... Dozens of movements burst out at the same time, locking every inch of the enemy's escape space.

The iron hooves whistled, and the knights cast dark shadows on horseback. They suddenly pulled out the long swords dragging on the ground and chopped off the head of the musician!

At that moment, the strong wind lifted the musician's hood, revealing his long hair as pale as bones.

"Can't you see my regret? I will make your life worthwhile..." He lowered his head and sang softly: "In the midst of decadence and death, can you see my smile? "

In the strong wind, the long hair fluttered, and in an instant, it was coated with a layer of silver-white electric light.

Beside the musician, the cane leaning on the side burst out with a fiery thunder light, and the torrent swept!

The thunder sounded suddenly.

In an instant, the lightning gathered like a wild python, leaving black scorch marks wherever it passed. Like an angry whip, the exciting music theory instantly tore all the music completely apart, destroying it with everything!

Then, it swept forward, jumping between the armor and the long sword, melting the steel into red iron juice, the warhorse neighed and fell to the ground, and the knight's half body was vaporized.

At that moment, among the countless violent thunders, half of the blurred majestic shadow was vaguely intertwined-Thunder Emperor Indra!

Including Colt, many musicians suddenly changed color.

When the sea of ​​ether was frozen, it was difficult for anyone to resonate, and they were suppressed at the same level, and could only rely on the free ether between heaven and earth.

But no one could have imagined that However, there are people who can complete such a huge movement effortlessly, fight ten people alone, and even reproduce the spirituality of the fallen saints with music theory!

"This is definitely not a musician level..."

A middle-aged priest stared at Ye Qingxuan, staring at his chest, trying to peek out the heartbeats playing in it. But no matter how he peeped, there was nothing there, no response, and no resonance!

It was like a huge void, without any music theory, and no ether, only a shocking vacuum, swallowing all the noise...

As if aware of his peeping, in that darkness, something was brewing, like the embryo of a disaster, surfacing a scale and a claw.

In just a moment, the priest's eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his eyes cracked, and a line of blood and tears oozed out. The blood slid down his pale face, and he screamed:

"What the hell are you...what the hell are you! "

Behind the flying dust, the young man who was playing the guitar lowered his head and plucked the six-string guitar in his hand, and the hoarse sound spread between the strings.

"Lazarus, do you see the wildfires and the raging flames?"

"Do you see the hounds of hell, staring at you? "

"Do you feel the panic?"

"--But Lazarus, how can you repay your debts?"

In the low singing, the lightning was blazing and dancing violently. On the cane, the gem covered with layers of cracks was completely shattered, and instead, the fallen holy spirit was resurrected from the thunder, opening its eyes as never before.

The world roared!

The earth trembled, and the steel walls were emitting hot lightning. The singing turned into a judgment from the underworld, resounding between the sky and the earth.

"Lazarus, the wildfire has spread across the prairie. ”

The singer sang hoarsely: "The flames are blazing, the flames are soaring into the sky, the distant stars will not be able to guide your direction... I will write my name in blood.

Lazarus, wash blood with blood, write my name!"

"--Wash blood with blood, fulfill my name!"

At that moment, the strings in the singer's hand suddenly broke.

The ravaged six-stringed harp was broken into pieces, and countless lightnings spurted out from it.

The sky and the earth were dark.

The thunder and lightning condensed into substance in his hands, and with the shadow of the Thunder Emperor Indra, it was aimed at the enemy, locking Colt behind the crowd.

Amid the sting of thunder, Colt's face turned red, as if all the blood had gathered on his face.

"Ye Qingxuan!"

He roared, pulled out the counter tune, and slashed towards the music theory composed of countless thunderbolts intertwined.

boom!

The counter-tuning dagger cracked inch by inch and melted into droplets of iron juice in the void. The next moment, thunder and lightning penetrated the defenses of all the musicians, destroying everything, and penetrated every step, whether it was water, soil, barriers or illusions in myths. The beast, at this moment, is as fragile as a dream in front of Lei Lei.

All broken into pieces!

In an instant, more than a dozen musicians were turned into ashes unconsciously in the thunder. The thunder advanced like a dragon and engulfed Colt's arm, but at that moment, an angry roar came from the sky.

"presumptuous!!!"

Magnificent bells rang, one after another.

With pure divine flames, Will descended from the sky, the brilliant Chapter of Divine Punishment played, and suddenly hit Faust's shackles. In an instant, the double snake timepiece vibrated, the red hands trembled slightly, and suddenly accelerated, making it unsustainable.

At that moment, six streams of light flew up from the Holy City, carrying huge power, like falling stars, shaking the realm of Faust.

The aftertaste of the Bell of the Holy City seems to be lingering around them!

Each bell represents the blessing from the Holy Church, allowing their power to break through the boundaries of the distortion level and enter the realm of the master.

So, in the blink of an eye, under the impact of the six masters, a big hole was opened in the frozen sea of ​​ether.

In the flames of the Chapter of God's Punishment, Will fell from the sky and stopped in front of Colt. His sword slashed down and shook the frantic thunder head-on.

At the same time, the priests in the stream of light pried open the frozen sea of ​​ether, extracting huge power. The countless complex music theories are composed, combined, stirred, and formed, and then a pure and ethereal sound of praise burst out.

"Holy! Holy! Holy!"

"Holy King! Light fills heaven and earth! All praise be to the Supreme Lord!"

"Requiem·Holy"!

An unbreakable wall was suddenly erected, firmly protecting Colt within it. In an instant, lightning surged and swept across, leaving everything devastated.

The soil was burned and turned into red liquid, flowing everywhere.

Bearing the impact of the terrible lightning head-on, Will's whole body was shaken by flames and he took three steps back. Half of his armor was vaporized, and the sacred sword in his hand was burned to red and almost melted.

"Ye Qingxuan!"

Will narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man's face with a gloomy expression: "It seems you are really crazy."

"Destroy the church, attack the Witch's Hammer, kill the priests of the Holy City, and even commit such crimes before the Holy City..." He raised his sword and declared coldly:

"It's not a pity to die for you!"

In the silence, someone laughed.

At that moment, even in Seiya's realm, Colt couldn't help but take a step back.

Because the white-haired young man finally raised his head.

It was like black rain falling from the sky in a nightmare, bringing a deep and eerie feeling.

Those eyes stared at him, as if the shadow of the dead was reflected in their pupils. Those who died stood in the underworld, looking at the world through his eyes and smiling.

"Colt, are you ready?"

He held his cane tightly and said softly:

"——I'm here to kill you."

Will's expression suddenly changed.

Because in Ye Qingxuan's unfolded left hand, the red-hot double snake timepiece trembled, burst out with fierce light, and completely fell apart!

Along with it, the ruined Faust realm was destroyed.

As the double snake timepiece was completely shattered, countless frozen music theories in the solidified sea of ​​ether exploded, and in an instant, the extremely quiet state began to move.

The sea of ​​ether is boiling!

And in it, a string that connects the two worlds of matter and ether quietly emerges, controlling this terrifying power that is so crazy that it can destroy the senses. Like a boat on the angry sea, the angry sea of ​​ether is forcibly controlled by this melody. , blended into the thunder, and turned into lightning of destruction.

In an instant, everyone had a ridiculous illusion: between heaven and earth, everything disappeared like bubbles, leaving only the lightning of thunder.

The violent lightning came from all directions, converging into an endless ocean, reaching the sky and the earth, burning the sky and the earth, as if destruction had taken a physical form in the human world.

At this moment, the laws are overturned and the rules are broken.

The complex music theory that turned into thunder distorted reality, distorted matter, and formed a huge ocean that seemed to have substance. And just above that crazy ocean, a broken moon quietly took shape, casting a silvery glow.

The moon rises over the sea!

The moon in the mirror, flowers on the sea.

The thunder sea is violent and the moonlight is quiet. The two are combined into one, but there is an indescribable poetry.

So unreal, yet so real.

And between illusion and reality, in the cold bright moon and the destructive lightning, the Nine Heavens Ring Pei quietly unfolds into complex music theory, transforming into a ladder of heaven, penetrating their axes, pulling the huge and complex power, and controlling the will of the performer. Below, they gathered in the hands of...Ye Qingxuan!

In Ye Qingxuan's hands, the sonorous sound of the piano played.

At that moment, under the suppression of the sea of ​​thunder, all the musicians almost suffocated!

It was like the magnificent changes of the movement of stars. The magnificent music that was so huge that it made people scream unfolded in Ye Qingxuan's hands. They overlapped and riveted each other, forming layers of complex structures.

It was like the fifth and twelfth floors, and the white jade palace in the sky rose from the ground in an instant, shocking people's hearts. It was a control that was so exquisite that it almost took away the creation of heaven and earth.

The music theory broke through from resonance upward, and in an instant it exceeded the range of the distortion level, causing the etheric world and the material world to overlap, showing a terrifying projection.

The small sequence stopped, the big sequence had five sections, and the first day of the correct sound was to take Han, followed by Huyou, Wangshen, Zuoqi, Shensi, Fanhun, Xunwu, Chongguan, Changhong, Hanfeng, Fawu... and even the sixteenth chapter Hanguang, the seventeenth chapter Chenming, until the eighteenth, throwing the sword...

In the blink of an eye, it was done in one go.

The melody progressed to the third section of the ten sections of "Chaos", "Return to Government", and then it showed its decline. At this moment, the scorching sun was no longer visible.

Only a flawless moon was hanging high, shining in all directions.

As Ye Qingxuan raised his palm, the moon shed its light, reflecting the pale faces of the people.

This is "Moonlight"!

"This is not...possible..."

Will gritted his teeth, feeling the common sense and music theory in his heart collapse, staring at the moon, his pupils were dilated, and bloodshot.

He had read all of Ye Qingxuan's analysis materials.

Will knew all his cards clearly!

But even if Xiaoyuan still existed, it would be impossible to accommodate such a huge music theory structure!

With one person's will, how to control this terrible music that interferes with reality, distorts matter, and evolves into a celestial phenomenon!

Even if he destroyed the Twin Snake Clock and the Eye of Indra, with the power in them... How could a person who could hardly be called a formal musician support such a terrible power!

The next moment, Ye Qingxuan's fingers slowly pressed down.

Under the support of the Philosopher's Stone, the Nine Heavens Ring played the sound of the end, and the light of the bright moon shone on the sky and the earth, engulfing everything. Countless strange phenomena appeared one after another.

Or a comet hit the moon, or a white rainbow penetrated the sun, or a hawk hit the temple... Until the end, all the strange phenomena were gathered in that flawless pure white moon.

There is a sword on the ground.

It is moonlight.

The bells roared, Will roared, and the flames on the bodies of the six masters surged. Under the tacit synchronization of each other, they pushed the chapter of divine punishment and evolved a huge phantom of the Holy Spirit of Punishment, and the bells rang again.

Will raised the sword blade, controlled the huge power, and slashed at the moonlight!

Silently.

In that pure and cold light and the chapter of punishment collided.

In an instant, everything disappeared.

Like an illusion, nothing had happened, everything remained the same.

Only the fire of divine punishment went out silently.

Ye Qingxuan supported himself with his cane, and walked forward step by step, as if he had exhausted all his strength, staggering and slow, with difficulty.

Just like that, he passed by Master Will, who was holding up his sword and had a majestic face.

With a snap.

Everyone screamed in shock, and the sword in Master Will's hand shattered and scattered into sand all over the ground. In the hot wind, Will disintegrated into dust like sand and disappeared without a trace.

Colt's face was pale and he staggered back.

Across the realm of Seiya, the several masters beside him gave him a sense of security. He forced a provocative smile, maintained his dignity, and opened his mouth to speak.

But before that realm, Ye Qingxuan looked up, stared at his stiff smile, raised his hand, and knocked on the barrier that was praised as absolute defense.

"Holy is not as strong as you think." He whispered: "You are too happy too early."

A crisp shattering sound rang out, and the sacred chanting stopped abruptly, just like countless glass collapsing, shattering, melting, and disappearing under the scorching sun.

In the field, the five masters who still maintained their original exertion postures shook their bodies, and along with Will, they collapsed into dust all over the ground.

In the dust, Colt's stiff smile shattered, his face twitched, and he staggered back.

"I..."

His expression changed drastically, and his lips opened and closed: "I... you... are not... Ye, Ye Qingxuan... Things can still be saved now! Yes, it can still be saved!

Don't be impulsive, I can..."

What answered him was a sword.

The sword that melted most of it and then cooled down was thrown out of Ye Qingxuan's hand and inserted obliquely in front of Colt.

"Come on, Colt. Haven't you been waiting for this moment?"

Ye Qingxuan said calmly: "I'll give you a chance to fight fair and square. If you're a man, pick up your sword and do whatever you want. Just don't talk."

In silence, Colt was stunned.
