Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1495: Chapter 1494: Playing a Tune of ”Heavenly God Slash

The sound of the zither is melodious!

Like moonlight, like flowing water, like a waterfall, possessing the ability to transform the sound into an artistic conception, and even holding the Power of Slaughter—such a formidable being is rare through the ages, yet Qin Kongdao, while playing the zither, remains composed and nonchalant.

With just two notes, he gravely injures the Twin Princes of Immortal Island, causing shock and disbelief. Has the Battle King Qin Kongdao been holding back from the very start? Has it all been child’s play? But for Qin Kongdao to dare play games with beings as powerful as the Twin Princes of Immortal Island, what does that signify? It signifies that Qin Kongdao has reached an unimaginable level of power, far exceeding that of the Twin Princes, who are viewed as insurmountable by the masses.

”So powerful!”

”Too powerful!”

”Unimaginably strong.”

”Is this the true strength of a generation’s Battle King? It’s utterly terrifying—the boundlessness!”

Some martial artists can’t help but discuss in hushed tones. To say the least, the zither-playing ability of Battle King Qin Kongdao is overwhelmingly powerful at this moment. To everyone’s ears, the zither’s melody is lilting, beautiful, refreshing, even focusing and calming. Yet, this seemingly gentle zither melody has defeated and gravely injured the Twin Princes of Immortal Island, seeming to leave them with no power to retaliate.

”Qin Kongdao, is this what your Heavenly God Slash is?” The eldest prince of Immortal Island suddenly thought of something, shockingly asking.

”No, it’s just ordinary zither music!” Qin Kongdao shook his head and replied.

”You think you can kill us both without even using Heavenly God Slash? I fear it won’t work!” The second prince of Immortal Island spoke fiercely.

”The power of Heavenly God Slash is too strong and requires burning the war blood within me,” Qin Kongdao said calmly.

Heavenly God Slash—these three words are unheard of by the younger generation of martial artists. Even the oldest Supreme Elder level individuals of the remaining lineages can’t provide much insight. Yet, there were whispers that Qin Kongdao’s war blood can ignite, enhancing his strength and cultivation realm. He once gained great fortune, obtaining a piece of the ”Immortal Song.” After cultivating it to the Great Achievement Realm, Qin Kongdao’s zither music could transform into the power of all things in the world, to slay formidable foes. Just as earlier, his zither music was like moonlight, flowing water, cascading waterfalls; beautifying and resonant, yet with incomprehensible Power of Slaughter, truly enigmatic and astonishing.

On Qin Kongdao’s path to becoming the Battle King, he indeed encountered formidable foes, compelled to showcase this ’Immortal Song.’ Some had heard that unless Qin Kongdao targets someone specifically, they would only perceive the melody’s beauty and elegance. However, if Qin Kongdao intends to slay someone, they would be subjected to the strongest slaughter—unstoppable indeed.

But among Qin Kongdao’s battle records, very few have prompted him to unleash the ’Immortal Song.’ This can be considered Qin Kongdao’s strongest Slaughter Divine Skill. As he himself stated, the power of the ’Immortal Song’ is excessively strong, and he wishes not to harm innocents. Moreover, every performance consumes his war blood, which is his life-bound essence blood. For Qin Kongdao, who has lived for five thousand years, each consumption of life-bound essence blood equates to shortening his lifespan. Unless absolutely necessary, he refrains from using it. This underscores the strength of the Twin Princes of Immortal Island, for they have driven Qin Kongdao to this extent—truly a rarity!

”This segment of the Immortal Song once made a once-mighty figure like Qin Kongdao bleed, hence it was named ’Heavenly God Slash’ by later generations.”

Elder figures with heritage had indeed heard of the ’Immortal Song’’s origins, expressing astonishment. These ’Heavenly God Slash’ words aren’t casually named; those who witnessed Qin Kongdao enact this ’Immortal Song’ speculated that the segment stems from the Immortal Domain, engraved in the Martial Arts World. Qin Kongdao chanced upon a piece, albeit incomplete, yet immensely powerful. If he could fully compose this complete ’Immortal Song,’ even a Heavenly God descending from the Lower Realm might bleed and perish, thus meriting the name ’Heavenly God Slash.’

The Twin Princes of Immortal Island, hearing Qin Kongdao’s words, felt deeply resentful—suggesting that killing them both doesn’t warrant the strongest power in the ’Immortal Song?’ It’s a humiliation; hurting their pride even more than killing them outright. It’s harder to bear than the previous battle.

Three thousand years have passed since that incident, where they had once severely damaged Qin Kongdao, causing him to remain unconscious for half a year, leaving enduring Taoist wounds. Yet, they themselves lost an arm, destroyed an eye, unable to annihilate each other—considered a draw. Over these subsequent three thousand years, the Twin Princes of Immortal Island have been dormant, diligently cultivating. Even the formidable Formation like the ’Ancient Killing Saint Array’ was repaired and restored by them, rendering them hundreds of times more powerful than before. Meanwhile, considering Qin Kongdao, trapped in the depths of the Original Restricted Zone for three thousand years under special Domain Pressure—surviving alone is luck enough. How could he continue to improve his cultivation? Logically, Qin Kongdao should not have been a match for the Twin Princes of Immortal Island.

Yet, when Qin Kongdao played his zither, the Twin Princes of Immortal Island were repelled and severely wounded. This might only suggest one thing—that Qin Kongdao’s defying demeanor allowed his cultivation to increase even amidst peril, or perhaps the battle from three thousand years ago did not reveal his true strength!

”Qin Kongdao, do you think we’ve concealed ourselves for three thousand years just for this mediocre capability?”

”Truly believe our brothers can’t kill you?”

The Twin Princes of Immortal Island roared in anger, refusing to concede. For them, these three thousand years were thought to have strengthened their cultivation remarkably and caught Qin Kongdao off guard, gravely injuring him within the ’Ancient Killing Saint Array,’ seemingly inevitably defeating him. Yet, unexpectedly, when Qin Kongdao started playing just a short segment of the ’Immortal Song,’ the situation reversed entirely, seemingly predestining their defeat. How could they accept this?

”I know you still have the strongest power yet to be showcased. Come, let’s resolve the grievances between us!” Qin Kongdao nodded and spoke.

Calm, composed, even facing such formidable foes, despite once being ambushed and injured, Qin Kongdao remains immensely steady as if no enemies can ripple the calm in his heart. This demeanor only further infuriates the Twin Princes of Immortal Island. Back then, the duo joining forces couldn’t defeat Qin Kongdao. After three thousand years, even when heaven and earth favor them immensely, still unable to overpower Qin Kongdao—are they inevitably to be failures? They sincerely remain unsatisfied!

”Let me see how powerful the so-called Heavenly God Slash really is!”

”Qin Kongdao, let us show you the true strength of us brothers!”

The Twin Princes of Immortal Island laughed in rage. From the severed left arm of the Eldest Prince, a new arm extended, not like that of the Human Clan, but resembling a Qilin, and it was entirely ablaze with fiery flames. The Eldest Prince fused this Qilin Arm onto his severed limb. When the Qilin Arm appeared, the Eldest Prince seemed to transform completely into a Qilin.

”My heavens, is that the Qilin Arm? It’s said that a mighty warrior once used this Qilin Arm to ascend to the nine heavens and strike the Immortal Domain!”

”I didn’t expect the Eldest Prince of Immortal Island to acquire it. No wonder they are so confident about fighting against that Immortal Song.”

”With the Qilin Arm unleashed, even the nine heavens shudder. It’s indeed capable of contending against the Immortal Song.”

At this moment, within the single eye of the Second Prince of Immortal Island, a demon shadow emerged. The shadow gradually expanded, enveloping the Second Prince, until it was reduced to a single eye shining with demon light and filled with demonic qi, intimidating everyone present.

”Is that an eyeball?”

”No, it’s the Nether Demon Eye!”

”The Nether Demon Eye? Could it be the same one left by an Ancient Saint before being seated, belonging to the Nether Demon?”

”The eye of an Ancient Saint, this...”

Too strong, too terrifying, the Qilin Arm shaking the nine heavens, the Nether Demon Eye left by an Ancient Saint, both discovered by the Twin Princes of Immortal Island and fused into their bodies. Anyone who dares think they aren’t powerful enough would be gravely mistaken. Even the usually composed Qin Kongdao was taken aback by this scene, his gaze shifting!

”Qin Kongdao, today is destined to be your doom!”

”The Immortal Song is useless; even if you compose the complete Heavenly God Slash, it’s in vain and can’t save your life!”

Boom!

The Eldest Prince of Immortal Island made his move, leaping forth towards Qin Kongdao, the Qilin Arm activating, a blaze of fire surged forth, transforming into an incredibly ferocious Qilin, ready to devour Qin Kongdao.

Clang!

Ping!

Qin Kongdao struck, maintaining his composure, strumming the zither strings. Waves of musical notes slashed towards the charging Qilin but failed to fully drive it back.

Poof!

Blood splattered, as Qin Kongdao’s left shoulder was bitten by the attacking Qilin, with blood spurting out instantly. Meanwhile, the Eldest Prince of Immortal Island had charged in front of Qin Kongdao, swinging the Qilin Arm to palm down onto Qin Kongdao’s head, aiming to obliterate him completely.

Thud!

Ping!

Ring!

Qin Kongdao continued to play the zither. As the Eldest Prince swung the Qilin Arm at him, the music notes intertwined like heavenly threads, trapping the Eldest Prince entirely, temporarily immobilizing him. At this perilous moment, the Qilin that bit into Qin Kongdao’s left shoulder tore away, forcibly shredding Qin Kongdao’s left arm to pieces, leaving him severely injured, spewing blood. In this critical juncture, the Second Prince of Immortal Island, transformed into a demon eye, also rushed towards Qin Kongdao to kill him... (To be continued.
