Gui Wu blew his demonic flute, stirring up a whirlwind of ghosts that were killing Shu Han. Shu Han did not counter-attack, instead choosing to wrap himself in the eight-winged sword and retreat, using the golden light from the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword to constantly resolve the incoming ghost fog. He did not dare to clash head-on with Gui Wu.

However, to his surprise, it seemed that Gui Wu also chose not to attack with all his strength. The pressure he was under was far less terrifying than Gui Li's previous onslaught.

'What is this old ghost planning?'

At this moment, Shu Han felt his two avatars about to take position. He urged the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword, and the eight-winged sword suddenly expanded, temporarily forcing the surrounding persistent evil ghosts to retreat.

After getting a brief respite, Shu Han immediately urged the Soul Snatcher suona and began to play.

The lingering sound of Gui Wu's flute was soft and pleasant; however, the sound of Shu Han's suona was piercing and discordant.

It was like sawing a stone with a steel saw, making people's hair stand on end!

Hearing this deadly suona sound, Gui Wu was uncomfortable. All the disciples of the Devil Music Sect were proficient in music theory. The Soul-Claiming Demonic Sound was terrifying, but the melody was melodious, and they all regarded playing out of tune as a shame.

He couldn't bear it, and cursed angrily, "You fucking music idiot can't even play properly, yet dares to show off!"

But then he had a thought and felt that something was wrong: "His Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword can clearly counter my technique, so why would he suddenly clumsily use Gui Li's suona?"

At this time, Shangguan Ruolin, who was watching the battle from below, also couldn't help but plug her ears, thinking, "Luckily he always practices the suona in the deep mountains and old forests, otherwise if the villagers heard it, they would have driven him and me out of the village. The tune is so horrible, this is the real Soul-Claiming Demonic Sound."

Shu Han's face turned red, and he thought, 'Isn't a magic treasure supposed to be used against enemies? Why should I care about how it sounds!'

So he puffed up his cheeks, output more spiritual power, and the sound of the suona became louder! The piercing suona sound directly overshadowed Gui Wu's flute sound.

"Enough!" Gui Wu became angry, put down his flute, and scolded, "You little bastard, you're tarnishing the art of my Devil Music Sect! Blow again, and I'll rip your mouth off!"

However, Gui Wu suddenly heard a discordant piano sound coming from his left rear. Then, drum beats came from the right rear.

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Formation!"

Gui Wu didn't hesitate at all and immediately prepared to transform into a smoke shield to escape.

Shangguan Ruolin cried out in alarm. She didn't expect that this Foundation Establishment late-stage old ghost would be so cautious. Facing a mere Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivator, he felt something was amiss and turned to flee.

"Get back here!"

She let out a soft snort, and the Six Harmonies Silk Bracelet on her wrist shone brightly. A series of thin strands rushed out of the bracelet, quickly entangling Gui Wu who was preparing to shield himself.

Gui Wu looked at Shangguan Ruolin making her move and scornfully laughed in his heart: A mere Qi Refining stage trying to stop me, a Foundation Establishment late-stage? Foolish... damn! This is a Golden Core magic treasure!

His heart went cold. He was now certain that Gui Li had indeed fallen at their hands.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

The golden light sword that restrained the demon technique and the Golden Light Divine Incantation of the Great Fortune Sect. Plus, the woman's Golden Core magic treasure!

No wonder Gui Li had fallen into the hands of this pair!

Gui Wu was in a great hurry, using all his strength to break free from Shangguan Ruolin's Six Harmonies Silk Bracelet and flew desperately toward the distance.

But it was already too late to move now. A specially made yellow wall dropped from the sky, blocking Gui Wu's path.

Gui Wu didn't dare to be careless and took out a ghostly spear from his storage bag, turning it into a large skull head and crashing it towards the wall.

But the sound waves composed of the Soul Snatcher Suona, Frost Edge Harp, and the Rolling Thunder Drum were one step ahead and hit the yellow wall.

Gui Wu was stunned. What does this mean?

The next moment, the sound wave actually bounced back from the yellow wall, and the yellow wall also vibrated, enhancing the power of the sound wave, like a heavy punch, hitting Gui Wu's chest.

Puff!

Gui Wu spat out another mouthful of old blood, and the ghost energy around his body vibrated with the sound wave and gradually disintegrated.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Before he could react, seven similar yellow walls came from all directions, trapping Gui Wu in this space.

"What...what kind of formation is this?"

Shu Han, holding the suona in the array, laughed heartily, "Old ghost, your Devil Music Sect prides itself on its mastery of music. Today, can you recognize my Silent Heartbreak Formation!"

Immediately, Shu Han once again used the three musical magic treasures to play simultaneously in the array.

The three sound waves bounced back and forth in the eight echo walls, and the sound waves that originally posed no threat to the late-stage Foundation Establishment stage were enhanced back and forth in the eight echo walls. Finally, they merged into a massive sound wave that even Gui Wu, a cultivator who deeply understood musical magic treasures, felt alarmed. He immediately used all his spiritual power to play his life magic treasure.

The flute sound rippled like water, but it didn't receive the amplification from the bronze echo wall.

The sound wave of the Silent Heartbreak Formation clashed with Gui Wu's flute sound, and for a time, they were at a stalemate.

Shu Han couldn't help but sigh inwardly: This is truly a late-stage Foundation Establishment powerhouse that can confront the Silent Heartbreak Formation. If they fought one-on-one, he would definitely not be his match.

Seeing the situation at a stalemate, Shu Han immediately recited the Golden Light spell.

The sound of the spell also got amplified in the echo walls. Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, it combined with the sound waves to break through Gui Wu's flute sound, enveloping him in the sound wave, and causing him great pain.

"Ah ah ah! This sounds awful!"

Gui Wu, who had already been deafened, gritted his teeth, directly summoned a demon from the ground, and actually chewed it up in his mouth! In an instant, his spiritual power surged, and he directly played the magic flute, breaking the vibrating sound waves around him.

Shu Han was taken aback, he did not expect Gui Wu to have a way to increase his spiritual power again.

Shangguan Ruolin floated over and said, "Shu Han, that demon just now was the incarnation of his internal demonic cultivation. He self-destructed a layer of his cultivation to get a short-term surge in spiritual power, you have to be careful!"

Without Shangguan Ruolin's explanation, Shu Han was already on high alert. He immediately played the suona, strummed the zither strings, struck the waist drum hard, drove the power of the Silent Heartbreak Formation to its maximum, and took the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword to protect himself.

However, Gui Wu, whose strength had greatly increased, did not attack, but instead shot up towards the sky, trying to escape from the range of the Silent Heartbreak Formation.

"Trying to run?!"

Shu Han crushed a medium-grade spirit stone, and the mighty spiritual power poured into the Silent Heartbreak Formation. The eight echo walls adjusted their direction, immediately reflecting the sound waves of the three musical instruments to the top, forming an invisible wall of sound.

Gui Wu hit this wall of sound, his body vibrated violently by the intense sound waves, and he was unable to advance even a bit.

"Damn! This kid's array is so weird!"

Seeing this opportunity, Shu Han immediately fully sacrificed the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword. A golden lightning as thick as an arm flew out, aiming directly at Gui Wu's head.

Shu Han knew that it was impossible to capture this person alive, so he decided to kill him to end it all!

Seeing the golden lightning strike, Gui Wu was scared in his heart.

He couldn't die here!

So, he directly pulled out two demons from his body and crushed them in his hands in an instant.

Boom!

The tremendous ghost fog exploded around Gui Wu, and in an instant, the sound barrier and the evil-breaking lightning were blasted away by the exploding ghost fog, and the eight echo walls were also blown away.

The pressure around Gui Wu was released, and he immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke and fled.

Shu Han stood in front of Shangguan Ruolin to withstand the explosion of the ghost fog. He retrieved the Eight-Direction Evil-Breaking Sword, and the righteous golden light cleansed the surrounding fog, seeing that Gui Wu had already fled.

"That powerful?"

Shangguan Ruolin anxiously said, "Shu Han, the more frantic he is to escape, it means the more critical he is! We can't let him go! Chase!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Han immediately picked up Shangguan Ruolin and turned into a stream of light, chasing after Gui Wu.
