Chapter 479: Look, I Stopped Playing the Zither and You

Tang An summoned the Fuxi Zither and the Red Embroidered Ball, "Choose a way to die."

As a relatively senior Ancestral Demon, Molu had some understanding of the Fuxi Zither and the Red Embroidered Ball.

It was obvious that choosing the Fuxi Zither would give him a higher chance of winning.

But seemingly recalling Tang An's previous playing style, he decisively chose the Red Embroidered Ball.

After all, even if an Ancestral Demon had to die, he wanted to die tragically, not be tortured to death by the sound of a zither.

"The Red Embroidered Ball? Very well."

However, Tang An had no intention of retracting the Fuxi Zither; she folded her hands in a seal and threw the Red Embroidered Ball toward Molu.

Molu summoned a defensive Magic Treasure to guard himself, a shield featuring a ferocious demonic beast.

Watching the ferocious phantom of the demonic beast rush out of the shield, it opened its blood-red maw, seemingly intending to swallow the Red Embroidered Ball.

Tang An sneered and said only one thing: "Flashy and useless."

Sure enough, as the Red Embroidered Ball smashed toward the demonic beast phantom, it pierced directly through its ferocious head, shattered the shield, and sent Molu flying back hundreds of meters, black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

If not for the shield mitigating some of the damage, he would likely be half-dead by now.

"Since this is a battle, it must be accompanied by passionate background music."

"Next, I shall play a free piece of music for you; it costs no money, only your life, so don't be polite."

Molu's pupils trembled, and before the words on his lips could be spoken, the demonic music arrived.

Oh, no, it was celestial music.

"Zeng-leng~"

"Zeng, zeng-leng!"

Molu's eyes bulged, and blood flowed from five of his seven orifices.

"Stop playing!"

"Stop playing!"

This was more lethal than any composition of slaughter; it was simply killing him.

In order to interrupt Tang An's playing, Molu erupted with dense Demonic Qi, condensing a demonic claw, wanting to crush Tang An and the zither together.

"Zeng-zeng-leng~"

Another wave of sound attacks struck; Tang An was intoxicated by it, but Molu was so tortured that the demonic claw he had condensed nearly dissipated.

"Go to hell!"

He voluntarily closed his sense of hearing, wanting to take this opportunity to crush Tang An and the zither.

Tang An ignored him completely and did not move; she merely summoned the Hunyuan Golden Dipper to protect her body, then continued to play the zither.

When the demonic claw attacked the Hunyuan Golden Dipper, it could not break through the defense for a moment.

"Zeng-leng!"

"Zeng!"

"Ah!!!!"

Molu was going crazy; that damn zither was useless to block even if he sealed his hearing. Although he could not hear it, the sound of that damn zither attacked his demonic soul directly, rippling in his mind all the same.

"Stop playing! I told you to stop playing!"

Tang An actually pressed her hand down on the Fuxi Zither, "Stop playing? Very well."

She retracted the Fuxi Zither, "Then don't you go crying."

"What?"

Tang An's figure arrived beside him in the blink of an eye. She directly ignored his defenses and grabbed one of his arms.

"Chi-la~"

Black blood sprayed out, splashing onto Tang An's body and face.

Those bloodstains should have had a corrosive effect, but Tang An's Merit Golden Body protected her, directly ignoring the corrosive damage.

And the reason she allowed the blood to splash on her was simply because her killing intent had risen, and she wanted to have some fun.

"You!" Molu extended his other palm to strike at Tang An, determined to avenge his severed arm.

But Tang An backhanded his arm, her eyes fierce, and snapped it upward violently.

"Ah!!!"

His demonic bone broke through his flesh and blood, revealing white bone stained with black blood.

"This is impossible..."

He was already an Ancestral Demon; his defensive power was difficult to damage even by Innate Violent Qi.

Yet she could injure his physical body so easily.

"Impossible? Then is this possible?"

Tang An tore off half of his bone, turned it around, and inserted it into his abdomen, pressing down hard to prevent him from struggling or pulling it out.

"I just like torturing you like this; otherwise, I would have beaten you to death long ago." After she finished speaking, she pulled out the broken bone, intending to insert it into his abdomen again.

To save his life, Molu summoned his Life-Bound Demon Sword, intending to burn his demonic soul to kill Tang An at all costs.

"You like self-immolation? Then I will beat you until you don't even have the strength to self-immolate!"

Tang An raised her foot high, stepped on Molu's Life-Bound Demon Sword, and retracted her leg to stomp down, using Merit Power to crush his Life-Bound Demon Sword.

Suffering the backlash from his Life-Bound Demon Sword, Molu spat out a mouthful of black blood, looking utterly wretched.

He had been beaten by Tang An to the point of having thoughts of fleeing; he flew backward and directly activated the Killing Space Law, trapping Tang An within it to fuel her killing intent.

Once she was completely controlled by killing intent and lost her reason, that would be the best moment for Molu to kill her.

Tang An watched as the space around her was partitioned off, turning entirely blood-red.

Countless images drilled into her mind: there were images of Sun Wukong and the other two dying in battle, images of Jiuyue taking a blade for her, images repeating her stabbing her grandmother with her own hands, and images of Tang Zhenzhu being abused by Wang Maolin.

Influenced by these visions, Tang An's killing intent indeed grew increasingly intense.

"What good does it do you to anger this deity?"

Although Tang An was filled with a towering killing intent, her reason remained completely unmoved.

She had experienced too many storms, so her will and conviction were of a firmness that ordinary people could not reach.

"Playing with laws in front of this deity, you are not qualified enough."

She was seen offering up the Red Embroidered Ball, striking it toward the space that had trapped her.

"Break!"

The Red Embroidered Ball darted wildly through the space, seemingly hitting nothing, yet after Tang An uttered the word "break," it shattered this space directly.

When Tang An emerged, she caught the returning Red Embroidered Ball, turned to gather her strength, and threw it at Molu once again.

Molu had just teleported a thousand miles away, but in the blink of an eye, his path was blocked by Tang An.

At the same time, the Red Embroidered Ball sealed off his retreat.

"You Outer Realm Demon Race really do like to stab people in the heart."

"Since that is the case, it is impolite not to reciprocate."

"My killing intent is naturally meant to kill you!"

Tang An gathered her entire body's Dharma Power onto her hands, choosing not to use blades or swords, but rather a fighting style of fist-to-flesh combat.

"Bang!"

Half of Molu's face was caved in by a punch from Tang An, and his body flew like an arrow released from a bow, smashing into the rubble filled with Innate Violent Qi in the Outer Domain.

Then Tang An teleported in front of him, and before he could react, she struck his other cheek.

It shattered his skull completely, leaving him on the verge of death.

Yet Tang An did not intend to let him go; instead, she hammered his chest punch by punch, breaking all his ribs and punching hole after hole, until Tang An was splattered with black blood dripping down her face.

Subsequently, she gripped Molu's neck, thrust one hand directly through his chest, and seized his heart.

"Do you think that after you die, you can be resurrected and take revenge on this deity?"

"Then this deity will tell you: once you die, you will be branded with a Talisman Seal."

"You will return to your nest unconsciously, leading this deity to the location of your nest."

"And after that, your living will be the true torment."

"Because no matter how you relocate your nest, it will be useless, and you will never know when this deity will destroy your nest and annihilate your Demon Soldiers."

"And once this deity takes action, even the Primordial Demon cannot save you."

Molu struggled, wanting to beg for mercy; unable to speak, he could only transmit his voice, saying he was willing to serve Tang An if she would only spare him.

Tang An sneered as she looked at him, "You have harmed my disciple to this extent; death nine times over would not be enough to atone!"

As she spoke, Tang An directly crushed his heart meridian, then with a single palm strike, blasted his corpse into pure dark matter.

Tang An seized the opportunity to plant the Talisman Seal, then looked toward the other two Ancestral Demons.

"Not a wasted trip, none of it a wasted trip."
