Chapter 578: Chapter 574: Dragon and Phoenix Chanting Summons the Dragon and Phoenix Sound Beasts

Qi Wan’Er’s face turned pale with anger: "How could you do such things, your reputation..."

Before she finished speaking, the prodigies across from her interrupted her remaining words with a sneer.

"Is the Divine Maiden of the Celestial Sound Sect really this naive?"

"The Divine Emperor’s inheritance is always claimed by the capable, and the Celestial Sound Saintess never said trial takers couldn’t form alliances before the start."

"If you insist on shouting about fairness, aren’t the two of you also working together?"

The other prodigy next to her mocked as he looked at Qi Wan’Er, "This little Divine Maiden was only found from the Lower Realm in the past two years, she’s very naive, so don’t be too harsh on her."

"Since the Celestial Sound Saintess said it was a melee, naturally any means can and should be used."

"As for reputation? Who cares about that, history is always written by the victors."

"As long as we eliminate you and obtain the final inheritance, who would care about the means we used to get it?"

"People only see the results."

Qi Wan’Er’s grip on the Phoenix Cry Flute was so tight that her hands turned a bit white, she spoke bitterly: "Despicable scoundrels!"

The prodigy on the other side laughed slyly: "Haha, thank you for the compliment, Divine Maiden."

After saying this, everyone controlled their respective Great Dao, waving toward Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er all at once.

Qi Wan’Er instinctively shielded Xia Feng, her expression tense as she prepared to intercept this attack. However, the number of opponents was overwhelming, even Qi Wan’Er found it hard to withstand.

Suddenly, Qi Wan’Er felt a hand placed on her shoulder, her body trembled, and she instinctively turned to see Xia Feng’s handsome face showing some helplessness.

"Silly Wan’Er, isn’t it me too? Why are you so nervous?"

The prodigies’ offensive was already halfway out, seeing Xia Feng’s indifferent demeanor stirred both panic and anger in their hearts.

"Kid, your trump cards have been banned, you can’t use your little tricks or that Ancient Divine Artifact on this platform."

"Speaking so boldly, watch out for the wind to twist your tongue!"

As they shouted, their attacks intensified as if they were still wary of Xia Feng, fearing he might use some outrageous trick.

But Xia Feng just stood there, suddenly holding a zither in his hands.

Qi Wan’Er noticed the familiar Dragon’s Chanting Zither, a flash of realization in her beautiful eyes, and her expression brightened with excitement.

She and Xia Feng had not officially used the joint sound attack Dragon and Phoenix Chanting since obtaining it; this was a perfect opportunity to practice on these people.

With this thought, Qi Wan’Er tightened her grip on the Phoenix Cry Flute, placing it against her lips to start playing.

Xia Feng also used the Great Dao of Music to fix the Dragon’s Chanting Zither in front of him, placing both hands on it to play.

The prodigies on the other side originally jumped at Xia Feng’s actions, momentarily halting.

But after a closer investigation, they found the Dragon’s Chanting Zither Xia Feng produced was just an Ordinary Divine Artifact, so they relaxed.

The leading prodigy coldly mocked: "Causing such a commotion, I thought you had pulled out an Ancient Divine Artifact, turns out it’s just an ordinary zither."

The prodigy next to him sneered: "Heh, not to mention if he can pull out a second Ancient Divine Artifact, even if he could, isn’t it already banned by the Celestial Sound Saintess?"

These people, who might never have seen the appearance of an Ancient Divine Artifact in their lifetime, now spoke of them as if they were commonplace, all to ridicule Xia Feng.

Qi Wan’Er couldn’t hold herself back from wanting to argue with them, but Xia Feng gave her a look, and the rhythm in his hands sped up considerably. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Qi Wan’Er, in her attempt to keep up with Xia Feng’s rhythm, was completely drawn into the ensemble, unable to care about the prodigies across from them.

The prodigies thought the two had given up resistance, laughing and joking as they prepared to decisively eliminate them.

However, as their attacks neared Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er, they sensed something was amiss.

Dragon and Phoenix Chanting was a comprehensive ensemble sound attack. Once the ensemble started, a faint transparent barrier emerged around them, blocking all of their attacks outside.

The initially speaking prodigy was full of disbelief, turning to the Celestial Sound Saintess outside the Celestial Sound Platform, shouting a question in frustration.

"Wasn’t the use of Great Dao of Celestial Sound techniques banned? Why can he still use external items?"

"This transparent shield is so powerful; it has to be from a special Divine Artifact or a Talisman Array. He’s broken the rules; why hasn’t the Celestial Sound Saintess struck him down!"

The Celestial Sound Saintess looked on with a mild displeasure, her gaze towards that prodigy carrying intense pressure.

Even the thunderclouds in the sky lowered subtly, lightning continuously striking around the speaker.

"Are you questioning me?"

Hearing the displeasure in her voice, that prodigy realized he’d completely offended the Saintess.

The pressure around him increased, seemingly about to erase him entirely.

Gritting his teeth, he bore the Celestial Sound Saintess’s pressure, struggling to speak: "I’m not convinced, he did violate the rules..."

The Celestial Sound Saintess waved her delicate hand, a cold voice accompanying the overwhelming lightning: "He only used the Great Dao of Music, violating no rules."

The gathering of prodigies gasped in an uproar, as the barrier around the two hardly seemed like something formed purely by the Great Dao of Music.

Xia Feng snorted lightly: "Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. A group of ignorant frogs in a well, daring to question me..."

As he spoke, the sonic attack in his hands intensified, and Qi Wan’Er next to him increased her attack in sync with his rhythm.

Finally, a touch of heavenly might gathered above the two, slowly coalescing into a dragon and a phoenix, two sound beasts circling above them.

The prodigies opposite were filled with disbelief, and even the Celestial Sound Saintess standing below showed a hint of surprise.

She naturally recognized the Divine Technique the two were using, but recalled it being handed to them only after the first stage. How could they achieve the creation of sound beasts, a feat of Great Success in the cultivation technique, in just a few days?

The two dragons and phoenixes hovered for a moment, their gazes locking onto the opposing prodigies.

As Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er continued their playing, the Great Dao of Music kept pooling onto the dragon and phoenix, their eyes revealing increasing levels of killing intent.

The prodigies dared not clash directly, desperately deploying the Great Dao of Music to attack Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er, attempting to resolve the situation indirectly.

But the transparent shield around the pair was exceptionally firm, leaving all eighteen exhausted yet unable to harm the two inside even a little.
