50: Chapter 50 Dad! I can't take it anymore!

Saying this, he did not hesitate to bring out the melancholy phantom demonic zither, the sky-piercing demon drum, and the sky demon soundbox once again! This time, he held nothing back, frantically pouring in his Golden Core Stage spiritual energy!

"Zheng—! Dong—! Clang—!"

The trio of demonic music, drumbeats, and noise rang out once more, this time with power far exceeding when he dealt with Young Master Xu An! The invisible sound waves, like sharp blades mixed with mind-disturbing illusory power, slammed fiercely into the Earth Vein Rock Lizard!

"melancholy phantom demonic zither, Song of Chaotic Spirits!"

"sky-piercing demon drum, Soul-Shaking Sound!"

"sky demon soundbox, turn the volume up to the max for me—play the 'Great Compassion Mantra'!"

However, how could the soul of a Nascent Soul Stage demonic beast be so easily shaken?

Although this sonic attack caused it to shake its massive head in annoyance and let out an even more furious roar, it failed to cause any substantial damage; instead, it thoroughly enraged the beast!

"Roar!"

The giant lizard suddenly raised its massive palm covered in bone armor, and with a shrill whistle that tore through the air, it slammed down fiercely towards Li Guidai and Kuang Dalei! Before the palm wind even arrived, the terrifying pressure almost made the space solidify!

"Dad! I can't hold on!"

Kuang Dalei screamed, almost instinctively pouring all his spiritual energy into a Mystical Turtle Shield he had hurriedly brought out. The shield instantly expanded, emitting a thick, earthy-yellow light.

"Boom—!"

The giant palm struck the shield, producing a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar!

The Mystical Turtle Shield let out a groan of unbearable strain, its light instantly dimming. Kuang Dalei was hit as if by a heavy blow, spraying a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying along with the shield, smashing through several giant rocks before stopping, his fate unknown.

"Old Kuang!"

Li Guidai's eyelid twitched; the power of this Nascent Soul Stage demonic beast far exceeded his estimations!

"Husband, watch out!"

Zhuge Yue's cold, clear voice came over with a hint of urgency.

She was still concentrating all her efforts on guiding the moonlight to break the formation. As her jade fingers flew, more and more cracks appeared on the mist barrier, and pure spiritual energy was almost bursting out, but fine beads of sweat had seeped onto her forehead, clearly showing she was under immense pressure.

After swatting Kuang Dalei away, the giant lizard's scarlet eyes immediately locked onto the humming sky demon soundbox, seemingly finding this noisy piece of iron particularly annoying.

It opened its blood-stained maw, and a highly condensed dark breath, radiating an aura of destruction, shot out like a pillar of death, heading straight for the sky demon soundbox and Li Guidai!

Li Guidai's expression changed drastically; the power of this breath would absolutely vaporize him along with his magical treasure! Just as he wanted to use his movement technique to dodge, he discovered that the space around him seemed to be locked by that Nascent Soul Stage pressure, making his movements extremely sluggish!

"It's over! I overdid the showing off!" Li Guidai wailed in his heart.

At this critical moment!

Zhuge Yue, who had been focusing on breaking the formation, saw the phantom image of a moon wheel in her eyes suddenly erupt with blinding brilliance!

While maintaining the formation-breaking seal, she managed to divide her attention, using her left hand as a sword finger to draw upon the vast Yin moonlight surrounding her!

In an instant, she condensed a crystalline shield in front of her—the Moonlight Canopy—which was as thin as a cicada's wing yet flowed with endless moonlight and ancient runes!

"Boom—!"

The dark breath slammed fiercely into the Moonlight Canopy, causing a deafening explosion! The violent energy shockwave scattered, plowing deep gullies into the ground.

The Moonlight Canopy shuddered violently, the runes on its surface flickering, but it ultimately blocked this fatal blow!

Zhuge Yue let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, and her face instantly turned pale. Maintaining both the formation-breaking and the defense simultaneously put a huge burden on her.

"Yueer!" Li Guidai felt his heart tighten as he watched, feeling both touched and guilty.

"Damn it, you think I don't exist, huh!" Li Guidai cursed, knowing he couldn't hold back anymore.

He slammed the melancholy phantom demonic zither into the ground, held his hands in a phantom embrace, and his Yin-Yang Nine-Turn Golden Core frantically spun, merging the massive blood energy of his mid-stage Ancient Kidney Physique with his spiritual energy!

"Thirty-Six Paths of Mad Dog Fist, Ultimate Secret Technique—"

His aura suddenly climbed, a phantom image of Yin and Yang flowing behind him, and a savage, domineering power that seemed to tear everything apart gathered on his fist!

"Mad Dog Sky-Splitting Strike!"

He threw a punch, devoid of flashy light, possessing only a terrifying, highly condensed punch force that tore through the air, like a roaring mad dog, charging head-on towards the incoming Earth Vein Rock Lizard!

"Pow!"

The fist collided fiercely with the Rock Lizard's chest, which was covered in thick scales!

A visible circle of air waves exploded, clearing away a large area of the surrounding mist!

The Earth Vein Rock Lizard's forward momentum was actually forcibly halted by this punch. It let out a roar of pain, and tiny cracks appeared on the scales on its chest!

Li Guidai, meanwhile, was shaken by the recoil, his blood churning, and he flew back dozens of meters before steadying himself, secretly thinking that this beast's defense was truly perverted!

However, this also bought Zhuge Yue the most crucial time!

"Open!"

Hearing Zhuge Yue's cold, low shout, she suddenly spread her hands to both sides!

"Crack—!"

A sound like shattering glass rang out, and the thick mist barrier shrouding the basin was finally torn open by her supreme Yin power, creating a huge crack wide enough for a person to pass through!

Behind the crack, there was no longer mist, but an ocean of spiritual energy, brilliant with spiritual light and almost liquefied!

A spiritual vein core, winding and coiling like a giant white jade dragon, appeared before everyone's eyes! Pure spiritual energy rushed towards them, causing everyone's pores to open involuntarily!

A top-grade spiritual vein, the gateway wide open!

"Success!" Li Guidai was overjoyed.

However, seeing the treasure it guarded completely exposed, the Earth Vein Rock Lizard fell into a complete frenzy!

It rushed over recklessly again, aiming directly at Zhuge Yue, who had just broken the formation and whose aura was slightly fluctuating!

"You wretched beast! You still dare to be ferocious!" Li Guidai's eyes were splitting, and a flash of ruthlessness and determination flickered in his eyes!

"Damn it! Fight to the death!"

He slammed all his spiritual energy, along with the massive blood energy of his mid-stage Ancient Kidney Physique, into the three magical treasures without reservation, especially the Earth-grade low-tier sky demon soundbox!

"Melancholy! Demonic Sound Piercing the Brain!"

"Sky-Piercing! Drum Shaking Mountains and Rivers!"

"Sky Demon! Myriad Manifestations! Give me maximum power!"

The three magical treasures emitted unprecedented humming and light, and the interwoven sound waves were no longer mere noise, but transformed into a distorted, chaotic spiritual domain that seemed capable of eroding reality!

Like an invisible swamp, it attempted to slow down and interfere with the giant lizard's charge!

At the same time, Li Guidai himself rushed in front of Zhuge Yue, crossed his arms, and his Yin-Yang Nine-Turn Golden Core frantically spun, gathering all his strength, prepared to withstand the furious impact of this Nascent Soul Stage demonic beast!

He knew this might be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but he absolutely could not retreat!

"Husband!" Zhuge Yue exclaimed, wanting to pull him away.

Just in this split second, a sudden change occurred!

Perhaps Li Guidai's all-out mental interference had an effect, perhaps the giant lizard's charge was too fierce, or perhaps for some other reason... the Earth Vein Rock Lizard, which was charging headlong.

The moment it stepped into the influence range of the sky demon soundbox, it tripped on something, and its massive body actually staggered, losing its balance!

Although it adjusted immediately, this pause and awkward posture caused its terrifying charge, which had condensed all its strength, to develop a minuscule yet fatal—flaw!

And at this moment, Li Guidai had just rushed to its front, his arms crossed, his posture standard, as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times...

"Pow!!!"

A muffled sound, different from the previous heaven-shaking ones.

Li Guidai only felt as if he had been hit by a high-speed truck; a sharp pain like bones shattering came from his arms, his throat tasted sweet, and he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

He slammed fiercely into the distant stone wall, smashing out a deep, star-shaped pit.

However, after knocking Li Guidai away, because of the unstable force caused by that stumble, coupled with the sheer momentum of the charge.

It actually... actually fell headfirst, its massive head hitting nothing but a pitch-black boulder beside it, which was exceptionally hard and shimmered with a metallic luster!

"Dong!"

An even duller, more teeth-grinding sound of impact rang out.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

The giant lizard shook its massive head, seemingly a bit dizzy. It struggled to stand up, but after trying a few times, its scarlet eyes gradually lost focus, its massive body swayed, and with a "boom," it collapsed completely to the ground!

Twitching slightly, it had actually been knocked unconscious by its own bungling collision!

Li Guidai, who had just pried himself out of the stone wall, saw this scene and was dumbfounded, forgetting the pain in his whole body, and subconsciously muttered:

"I... what the hell... this can actually happen?"

Zhuge Yue, who had barely managed to stand up nearby, also revealed a rare expression of astonishment.

In the distance, Kuang Dalei, who had just crawled out from the pile of rubble, covered in dust and with blood at the corner of his mouth, saw this scene and opened his mouth wide enough to fit a goose egg.

The scene fell into an extremely eerie silence.
