The Legend of the Young Swordsman: A Prequel - A Phantom Melody Embarks on a Journey Through the Mar

"His condition is very strange. I can clearly sense that he seems to have used a method that can temporarily boost his strength and true energy."

We can win by maneuvering against him.

Lei Mengsha and Yue Yao, both at the Free Realm, might not be able to see through this situation, but Helian Yunshen could see this change very clearly.

He could clearly sense that the old man had only temporarily enhanced his strength using evil techniques, and that such so-called enhancements had significant drawbacks.

Upon hearing Helian Yunshen's analysis, the two did not think too much about it and immediately nodded in agreement.

On Lai Shouyu's side

With his eyes closed, Lai Shouyu attacked the three of them using his senses through his ears. Even without the aid of his ears, Lai Shouyu was still terrifying.

The attack was very precise, targeting all three of them.

Upon seeing Lai Shouyu's attack, the three of them sprinted with the speed of wild beasts to dodge it. Lai Shouyu's claws landed on the counter behind them, tearing it apart with tremendous force.

"Hold on!"

Unable to use his eyes to cast illusions, Helian Yun Shen began to use his voice. This distracting illusion, created through sound, caused Lai Shouyu's body to freeze in place.

Taking advantage of the moment when Lai Shouyu paused, Lei Mengsha and Yue Yao unleashed a powerful attack at him.

Having just broken free from Helian Yun Shen's illusion that directly attacked the mind, and before he could even react, his body directly took the full force of Lei Meng Sha and Yue Yao's combined attack. This attack caused Lai Shou Yu's breathing to become unstable.

"Damn it, how can this brat be so weird? He can actually use his voice to perform tricks that can interfere with people's minds and spirits!!"

Forcibly calming his mind, Lai Shouyu spoke these words in great anger. He then opened his eyes again and attacked Lei Mengsha and Yue Yao.

A pair of claw-like hands, like the claws of an eagle.

It looks incredibly sharp.

Upon seeing this, the two immediately used their footwork to retreat quickly. Looking at the retreating two, Lai Shouyu could tell that Yueyao's speed was much slower than Lei Mengsha's.

Focus your attack on Yueyao.

Seeing that Yueyao was about to be touched by a dog like Lai Shouyu, Helian Yun Shen anxiously put the jade flute to his lips, although he did not use any killing tunes such as Purgatory or Golden Horse and Iron Horse.

However, the sound produced by playing the jade flute is even more powerful in disturbing the mind.

Lai Shouyu, who was originally able to attack Yueyao, suddenly felt a headache and his attacks stopped.

Taking advantage of the pause, Yueyao quickly retreated, avoiding the possibility of being touched by Lai Shouyu's dog paws.

"Brother Lei, Miss Yuexi, you two keep Lai Shouyu occupied for me. I'm going to play a piece about war and conquest."

"Young Master Helian, don't be reckless. You're probably not in the condition to perform heroic feats in your current state."

Having heard "Golden Horse and Iron Cavalry" twice, Yueyao knew very well that even Helian Yun Shen, in his prime, could only manage a very strained performance of "Golden Horse and Iron Cavalry," and was simply incapable of playing it in this state.

Lei Mengsha, on the other hand, was very puzzled and couldn't figure out what kind of music this "Golden Horse and Iron Cavalry" was.

"At this point, perhaps only the use of iron cavalry and swords can deal with this guy. At first, I was a bit overconfident. I thought Purgatory could do it."

Who would have thought that Purgatory wouldn't be able to kill this guy?

Listening to Yueyao's advice, Helian Yun Shen also reflected on himself. He reflected on how he had been too arrogant just now and hadn't directly played his strongest killing tune, "Golden Horse and Iron Cavalry."

This situation led to him being harmed by the backlash from the broken piece, resulting in physical injury.

Hearing Helian Yun Shen's words, Yue Yao felt a pang of sadness. Since they met, Young Master Helian had always been so selfless, twice already displaying powerful yet somewhat unmastered martial arts techniques for her sake.

She felt deeply moved and guilty, and was very unwilling for him to use that kind of martial arts again while he was injured and in poor condition.

Yueyao's inner turmoil did not affect Helian Yun Shen. At this moment, he once again placed the jade flute to his lips, ready to play the zither of war once more.

The prelude to the clash of swords and the thunder of horses has just begun.

Helian Yun Shen was overwhelmed by the power and brutality of the music, and blood spilled from his mouth. Even so, Helian Yun Shen continued to play the piece.

Just as the music was about to begin, Lai Shouyu, who was relentlessly chasing the three, suddenly gushed blood from his mouth like a spring.

His entire condition plummeted instantly.

Lei Mengsha and Yue Yao seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack on Lai Shouyu, who was in this state.

Having lost the brief boost and stabilization of his body, and now suffering a backlash, Lai Shouyu's condition was even worse. Initially, he was able to parry some of the attacks from Lei Mengsha and Yue Yao.

But as time went on, Lai Shouyu was no longer able to withstand the attacks of the two.

The already shriveled body became even more shriveled.

"I hate it! If it weren't for the three of you, if it weren't for that good-for-nothing bastard, I could have officially mastered this technique, and I would have been invincible."

Everything has fallen through!

In his final moments, Lai Shouyu uttered these words filled with deep resentment. The instant he finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground, unable to rise again.

His body quickly withered and shriveled, eventually turning into the same kind of innocent people who had become mummies from the blood he had sucked.

"We've succeeded just like that?"

Seeing this success, the three felt it was unreal.

I thought it would take some more time, but who would have thought that this guy would be harmed by his own technique? In the end, he ruined himself.

Seeing that the guy was dead, Helian Yun Shen did not continue to force the playing of "Golden Horse and Iron Cavalry".

Outside the inn

The innkeeper, hiding here, had no idea what was really going on inside the inn.

"Why is there no sound? Has Lord Lai Shouyu already won?"

The innkeeper was puzzled by the silence. He wanted to go in and see what was going on, but his deep-seated fear of death prevented him from taking a single step.

"I'll observe from here. If Lord Lai Shouyu wins, he'll definitely call for me."

Driven by the fear of death,

In the end, I didn't have the courage to go in.

In the inn

The three of them sat on the ground, panting heavily. Only then did Lei Mengsha realize the pain of his broken arm.

Ouch! That really hurts!

"Brother Lei, your arm is probably broken. You can find someone to treat it when we get to the next town. Don't try to move your arm for the time being."

Seeing Lei Mengsha's grimacing expression, Helian Yunshen spoke to Lei Mengsha with concern.
