Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1361 - 1346: The Thirteenth Pair of Eyes

Hiss hiss.

Sound waves invisible but undeniably present emanated from the erhu.

Song Yun had no chance to dodge.

"You bastard! You’re an old beast!"

Song Yun shouted, crossing his arms in front of himself.

Buzz.

Song Yun’s inner Qi could only counteract one band of sound waves, utterly powerless against the ones that followed.

Splat splat splat.

Several wounds appeared on Song Yun’s arms.

"Young man, mind your words, or you might end up in the eighteenth layer of hell."

Yin Gui, eyes closed and head slightly tilted, played the erhu without the slightest pause.

"Ha, you pitiful soul."

Song Yun squinted and shouted, "You’re probably only capable of hiring prostitutes."

Yin Gui’s expression darkened and he pulled sharply on the strings.

Screech.

An even sharper sound suddenly rang out.

Before Song Yun could react, it was upon him.

Splat.

Another bloody wound.

The cut nearly sent Song Yun flying backward, his feet staggering, skidding over the ground seven or eight times.

Blood dripped from Song Yun’s hands.

Song Yun forcibly hardened the muscles around the cut, squeezing the blood vessels shut and stopping the bleeding instantly.

Even so, Song Yun’s arms were already covered in red.

"But it’s kind of a pity you’re one-handed; the lady has two breasts, you can only touch one, it’s a loss, let me tell you, when you *you should ask for a discount because you can only touch one boob." Song Yun, his hands severely injured, kept dishing out words without pause.

"I will torture you to death, step by step."

Yin Gui gritted his teeth and increased the force on his instrument.

Song Yun hardened his body further, ready to rush forward and spar up close, when...

Eh!

Song Yun took a step and suddenly his legs felt numb, causing his body to stumble.

Had Song Yun not quickly gathered strength to support himself, he might have fallen.

"Haha, neural paralysis has left you unable to move freely."

Yin Gui seemed confident, and as he played the erhu he said, "Soon, you’ll feel your whole body numbing, unable for your mind to command your body. But there’s a silver lining; you won’t feel as much pain while dying, because you’ll already be numb."

Song Yun closed his eyes, intensely focused on sensitizing his neurons further, but as Yin Gui said, the sound attack—being invisible, penetrating—had severely damaged him, and mere focus couldn’t heal it.

This was becoming a big problem.

"That’s the difference between number twenty-something and thirty on the divine list," Yin Gui said, face twisted in cruelty, "you humiliate me, and I’ll ensure your death in the most painful way."

Song Yun squinted and shouted, "I swear, bare-fisted, you’d stand no chance against me!"

"Haha, don’t try to provoke me."

Yin Gui replied, "My strength lies in music, did you expect a sniper to close-quarters fight with you? You’re not very bright, are you?"

With that, Yin Gui stepped towards Song Yun. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Song Yun subtly adjusted Po Jun on his arm.

"I must say, you’re the most talented and formidable young man I’ve ever seen."

Yin Gui smirked and said, "Achieving so much at such a young age is the hallmark of a super genius, but alas, today you die by my hand. You might not realize it, but many Song Family members have perished under me!"

Song Yun had been planning to engage Yin Gui intimately, but hearing this, he paused and asked, "Oh? You killed other members of the Song Family?"

"Of course, but that’s all in the past now, haha. Since you’re going to die... there’s no need to know, haha. How does it feel, dying with an unsolved mystery? Won’t you die unpacified? That’s what I aim for, to quench the fire in my heart."

Yin Gui laughed and fiercely played his erhu again.

Screech.

Another sharp cry.

Splat.

This time, Song Yun failed to cover himself, and the attack tore into the skin of Song Yun’s chest, leaving another gash.

Song Yun coughed a mouthful of blood, collapsing onto the ground, his breath ragged.

"I want your seven orifices to bleed and kill you."

Convinced of victory, Yin Gui sat cross-legged five meters from Song Yun and said, "Next, I’ll let you experience my greatest and most powerful song of all these decades. Its name is ’Farewell to the King!’"

Smirking, Yin Gui gently played the stick.

A melodious sound floated from the erhu, soothing in comparison to the previous sounds, seemingly void of attack, leaving Song Yun feeling relaxed.

Gradually, the tune began to rise in grandeur.

Song Yun found his own emotions resonating with the music.

"Damn, it’s controlling emotions!"

Startled, Song Yun looked at Yin Gui, eager to climb up and charge forward, but the numbing sensation only grew stronger, leaving Song Yun feeling frustrated and powerless.

A minute later, the grandeur of the music shifted to sorrow, inexplicably causing Song Yun’s nose to tingle and tears to well up, his emotions entirely intertwined with the melody while his mind still remained remarkably clear!

It was like sleep paralysis, with movement impossible but consciousness unwavering.

Song Yun felt increasingly despairing, almost feeling life wasn’t worthwhile.

This was a terrifying state of existential dread.

Song Yun’s face, inexplicably, was already streaming with tears that wouldn’t cease.

"Damn, how can it be like this!"

Song Yun looked in horror at everything, his mind devoid of negative thoughts but still engulfed by a compelling urge not to live.

Song Yun recognized, it had to be the effect of the song!

Such an ominous thing!

Song Yun, tears streaming, kept his eyes on Yin Gui, just a short distance away.

Slowly, the sorrowful tune turned gentle, inducing a sensation akin to impending death.

"Damn, Shisan’s eyes!"

Song Yun exclaimed in surprise!
