Chapter 766: Waist-Cut

A cello?

The three were stunned at the same time.

The sound seemed extremely far away, yet extremely close. Even the three, wrapped in the roaring engine noise inside the car, could hear it clearly. The sound of the strings seemed capable of pulling directly into their souls, making their hearts rise along with it.

Although Yang Xiao and Lu Xun were confused, they didn't know what was happening. Only Chen Ling’s pupils, amidst the high-speed movement, accurately locked onto the scene of the earth vibrating rhythmically with the sound of the strings...

Dust was resonating with the cello!

Chen Ling’s gaze swept over these vibrating sand grains and dust, and a sense of crisis surged into his heart. He jerked the steering wheel, and the speeding sports car suddenly drifted in a long arc across the wilderness, then turned and fled straight in another direction!

This drift was so sudden that neither Yang Xiao nor Lu Xun had any mental preparation. They were shaken violently as if they were about to be thrown out, and Yang Xiao’s face turned pale, nearly vomiting on the spot!

The next moment, as the strings tightened suddenly, the wilderness where the three were heading collapsed!

Thud—!!

The earth seemed to have become a living thing, splitting rapidly in the undulating waves of the ground. A rift leading straight to the deep underground blocked the east, with a width of dozens of meters, like an impassable chasm.

If Chen Ling’s reaction had been a few seconds slower, they would likely have flown into the earth-fissure, car and all.

"Are they crazy??" Lu Xun said in a low voice, seeing this. "This level of destruction... it looks like they don't intend to leave us a way to live."

"They even deployed missiles, is it really necessary??" Yang Xiao added immediately.

While they were speaking, the cello sound echoing in everyone’s ears became more and more urgent!

It was as if someone were violently pulling the strings, the urgent melody like a sudden rainstorm, beating crazily against the reality of the earth. In the dark, it felt as if some giant hand had begun to surround and intercept this speeding sports car.

Thud thud thud—!!

Even though Chen Ling had pushed the accelerator to the limit, he was still caught up by the rapidly splitting gullies. He jerked the steering wheel again, dragging out an extreme tail-flick at the edge of the cliff, and then sped along the very edge of the gully!

It was during the tail-flick that Chen Ling’s gaze swept into the distance, locking onto a figure amidst the endless gullies.

It was a middle-aged man with a long braid.

He was holding a cello covered in mysterious patterns, sitting on a black chair. Around him, the earth spread out like a spiderweb, and as the rhythm of the music changed, lava surged from the earth as if boiling!

He closed his eyes, playing alone amidst the cracked earth and rolling magma, as if playing the movement of the apocalypse;

On him, Chen Ling sensed an aura even stronger than Nie Yu at his peak. In other words, this man playing in the wasteland was at least a Sixth Rank.

And the three of them were currently within his Domain.

Seemingly sensing Chen Ling’s gaze, the man intoxicated by his performance slowly opened his eyes, and the two gazes met across the endless gullies and magma.

Then, he closed his eyes calmly again, and the speed of his playing accelerated!

Click—

Light sounds rang out from inside the red sports car, as if, besides the earth, the components inside the car were also affected by the music, vibrating crazily.

Yang Xiao and Lu Xun’s expressions changed simultaneously. They clutched their heads in pain, feeling as if they were about to collapse within the music, their internal organs vibrating constantly, and blood flowing from their seven orifices.

Chen Ling watched this scene, his hand gripping the steering wheel tighter and tighter.

This music was not without effect on Chen Ling. His internal organs were also constantly being damaged, but under the blessing of the [Blood Garment], these injuries didn't count for much to him for the time being. Instead, as his internal organs were damaged, the injuries were continuously converted into power, and spiritual energy poured crazily into the sports car beneath him.

Chen Ling knew very well that this car was their only way to shake off the encirclement.

Although he could walk on air, his speed was definitely not as fast as this car, which had broken its limits. He feared that once he ascended to the sky, he would encounter the crazy encirclement of the armed helicopter group, and Lu Xun and Yang Xiao would have nowhere to escape.

The cellist’s Domain seemed capable of causing damage to all matter within its range through melody, which naturally included this car... This was likely the opponent’s goal.

He was trying to destroy the structure of this car, while Chen Ling was crazily increasing the limits of its materials. The two reached a kind of balance for a time.

Hum—!!

The red sports car roared through the dense gullies and magma, about to break through the blockade and enter the city in the distance.

"This is Wolf Hunter 3, the target is about to enter the main city!"

"Absolutely cannot let him break into the crowd, otherwise there is a huge risk of casualties. Immediately let the [Cellist]..."

"Immediately... static..."

Suddenly, communication signals within a radius of several kilometers were completely cut off.

But even so, it didn't affect the cellist’s actions. He sensed that Chen Ling was about to break through the border of his Domain, and his eyebrows furrowed tighter.

"Just a Fourth Rank, and you can still escape?" The cellist muttered to himself.

The next moment, his five fingers clamped shut, and the cello in his hands exploded into pieces. Flying wood chips and broken strings danced in the magma!

But even so, he didn't stop his movements. His hands pulled in the void, as if an invisible cello were resonating with heaven and earth!

"Go."

The cellist opened his eyes slightly, and a piercing light flashed from the depths of his pupils. The aura of a Sixth Rank peak erupted!

A string with almost no width condensed from the void, as if piercing through space, sweeping across dozens of kilometers, like a sound of music sweeping across heaven and earth!

Hum—!

The playing sound between heaven and earth stopped abruptly.

The red sports car, about to break through the edge of the Domain, was cut in half at the waist as if by something, splitting smoothly from the center... The engine’s roar stopped gradually, as if falling into silence along with the disappearance of the music.

At the same time, the three figures sitting in the car also began to slide apart from the waist... They were still gripping the handles or the steering wheel tightly, feeling nothing unusual, their expressions frozen in the last second.

Scarlet blood sprayed within the broken car, instantly turning the windows blood-red. Lu Xun and Yang Xiao lost their breath completely, their severed upper bodies rolling inside the car, the cross-section at the waist as smooth as a mirror.

And Chen Ling, in the driver’s seat, saw his eyes begin to lose focus,

Those pupils, filled with shock and unwillingness, turned slowly, locking onto the cellist not far away... His aura hadn't completely vanished, but the expression remaining on his face was hideous.
