Having been used to the very playful and naive Tang Tian, upon seeing such a domineering Tang Tian, everyone was instantly stunned.
Only Ling Xu gritted his teeth and growled furiously, “Bastard! When I recover, you are dead meat!”
Qing Luan wanted to say something, but she was so stunned that she did not manage to speak, the back view of the lad in silver armour, in her vision, radiated a burning battle will, she could not bear to rebutt him. Suddenly, she recalled Di Heng Zhan’s advice previously – Tang Tian was a dangerous person.
Gu Xue’s face surfaced looks of anxiety, but she did not dissuade him. Di Heng Zhan and Qing Luan may not understand Tang Tian, but she knew, beneath Tang Tian’s naive and foolish looks, was a heart of a true expert.
Tang Tian slowly entered the square.
A spirit general, like a ball of smoke, floated out from the bronze box, and took on a form.
The blue eyes, were crystal clear like gems, the handsome and soft face wore a small smile, both the feet were floating in the air, the body was long and slender, and had a little exotic feel.
“I’m Flute.”
His voice was melodious, warm and moist, which was captivating.
Everyone was shocked, a spirit general could actually speak! The little girl recalled something, her expression changed rapidly, and she shouted aloud, “Teacher be careful, he’s Magic Flute!”
“Magic Flute?” Tang Tian was stunned, honestly speaking, when Flute first spoke, he was shocked. He had crossed hands with numerous spirit generals, but it was a first for him to meet one that could actually speak, of course, Bing’s the exception. Even Ghostly Claw was usually silent.
“To think that after so many years, there’s still someone who remembered me, I’m deeply honoured.” Flute smiled, and bowed in gratitude towards the little girl.
The little girl’s face turned somewhat white, while the others looked dazed, they had never heard of this name.
On seeing the little girl’s reaction, Tang Tian knew, that the opponent had a formidable background. However, he was not in the least fearful, instead he was even more excited, he stared at Flute, and growled, “Spare the niceties, let’s battle it out once and for all!”
Flute bowed slightly, his disposition had an elegant and graceful feel, “I’ll gladly obey.”
He waved his hands, the round lighted screen rose, and formed an enclosure.
Flute explained, “Don’t worry, this layer of lighted screen is just to isolate my flute sounds, to avoid hurting your valuable friends.”
Tang Tian was surprised, this was definitely the most polite spirit general he has ever met. He could not help but nagged at Bing in his heart, “Hey, Uncle, you are all spirit generals, how come you are so different from him?”
Bing raised his eyelid, and lightly said, “Young masters of aristocratic clans are all like that, but the numbers of aristocratic clans that we annihilated back then were at least 8000, or even 1 million. As for the number of young masters that were killed, erm, this can’t be clearly accounted for… …”
Tang Tian, “… …”
Very soon he no longer had time to squabble with Uncle Bing, his gaze was fixed. Flute had a bronze flute in his hands, the flute body was shiny as new, as bright as a mirror.
Tang Tian waited grimly. The opponent was called Magic Flute, this meant that the attack methods must be somewhat connected.
Sound martial techniques?
Tang Tian was curious and expectant. He had never met such an opponent.
Flute bowed in respect, and said in a clear voice, “Please listen to my piece of music!”
With slightly closed blue eyes, the bronze flute was held horizontally, he brought it to his lips, channelled a breath of air, and the bronze flute in his hands sounded. The musical notes flowed like water, and slowly flowed out from the bronze flute.
Inside the lighted screen, the air soon began to slow down.
Tang Tian’s eyes grew round, and revealed a look of astonishment, his body was actually slightly numb, and weak.
The sound of the flute was clear and melodious. Misty clouds and fog slowly formed around Magic Flute. With the white clouds surrounding him, Magic Flute’s blue eyes were hung low, and his expression full of concentration.
“Humph!” Tang Tian roared, the True Power in his body swelled, the weak feeling instantly vanished, his legs channelled some strength, and charged towards Magic Flute!
This fellow’s martial techniques were indeed strange, he was even pre-emptive!
The sound of the flute floated in the air, Tang Tian instantly felt the change in the surrounding. The surrounding air became extremely dense, Tang Tian seemed to be stuck in the mud, every step forward, required a large expenditure of energy.
The air was like a wall, where walking was difficult.
Magic Flute, a few meters away, was blowing his flute in full concentration, engrossed in his world.
With an angry roar, Tang Tian pulled a punch towards the air in front of him.
Minute Collapsing Fist!
Although it was just a low level martial technique, it assimilated Tang Tian’s understanding of vibration. The dense air before him instantly collapsed like a heap of soil.
Tang Tian took the opportunity to rush forward!
He barely took a step out, and the surrounding air, resumed the dense state under the lead of the sound of the flute.
Tang Tian was not anxious, as long as there was a way to settle it!
His fists swung interchangeably, one punch per step, proceeding towards Magic Flute slowly and steadily. Magic Flute seemed to be oblivious, and continued to blow into his bronze flute, as though he was not aware of the impending danger.
After proceeding for seven or eight steps, Tang Tian was now about 7 meters away from Magic Flute.
If it was normal situations, the 7 meter distance was almost nothing to Tang Tian. But now, Tang Tian did not put it to heart, for up till now, although the sound of the flute was unique and strange, Tang Tian did not feel that it was too powerful.
As long as he could be closer by around 3m more, he was confident, that he could get rid of the opponent.
Tang Tian, who knew nothing about music, did not notice, that the sound of the flute was quietly changing.

Outside the lighted screen, the little girl’s face was fully white.
Gu Xue saw the little girl’s face and could not help but ask, “Princess, is this Magic Flute very formidable?”
The little girl bit her lips hard, and with a tremor in her voice, “Magic Flute’s era was earlier than Demon Slayer’s by around 100 years. He was from an aristocratic clan, and was proficient in music since young. After practising martial techniques, he even assimilated music into his martial techniques, and formed a unique sound martial technique. The sound of his flute seemed to have some magical powers, because he was also known as Magic Flute. Born in an aristocratic clan, Magic Flute has excellent grace, and was warm-spirited, thus he was also known as Young Master Magic Flute. The battle that brought him to fame was when Tiger Forest Planet met with a large-scale Star Spirit Beasts tide, their seven cities were continuously taken down, bodies strewn everywhere, and no one could stop them. When the beastly tide gushed to the eighth city, Magic Flute arrived, on the Wall of Starry Night, a piece of flute music receded the beastly tide. That beastly tide, were all level nine Star Spirit Beasts!”
It was unknown whether the little girl was agitated or afraid, but when she spoke of this rather legendary history, she could not help but long for it.
Upon hearing that, the others were overwhelmed with emotions, and also full of fear and worries.
Level nine Star Spirit Beasts, what concept was that?
Only Ling Xu was dumbfounded, he finally understood that the fellow who was blowing his flute like a fool inside the lighted screen was actually so formidable.
“Then isn’t he a Heaven’s Road level martial artist?” Di Heng Zhan’s voice had a tinge of panic.
“Mmm.” The little girl bit her lips, and looked at the square with extreme trepidation, “During Young Master Magic Flute most glorious year, he once defeated three Heaven’s Road level martial artists!”
The others were tongue-tied, and were shocked speechless. The difference between a Heaven’s Road level martial artist and defeating three Heaven’s Road level martial artists, they could naturally comprehend.
Ling Xu with his eyes opened wide was also awed in his heart, what an amazing fool!
Idiot Tang was in danger!
Wrong!
“If that’s the case, Idiot Tang would have long turned into ashes.” Ling Xu frowned.
“I think his abilities have dropped.” Di Heng Zhan had the most battle experiences, he could tell at a glance the crucial point, “The level of spirit generals will continuously drop over the years. It would definitely be uncomparable to his peak period.”
“The idiot’s got a good deal!” Ling Xu snorted, but his heart had relaxed.
The little girl shook her head, “Levels will drop, but the understanding of martial techniques will never drop. Young Master Magic Flute was famed, for his killer move, Magic Breaking Sound!”
“Magic Breaking Sound?” The crowd asked in unison.
“Mmm.” The little girl’s expression was filled with worries, “It has another name, One Tune Seven Deaths!”
“One Tune Seven Deaths?”
Just this name alone, made everyone fearful.
“Mmm.” The little girl’s expression was even more worried, “I have no idea too, what this move is all about. But I heard that this move of Magic Flute, has never failed.”
Has never failed… …
Everyone’s heart immediately sank, their gazes were all fixed on the square.
The distance between Tang Tian and Magic Flute in the square, was less than 7m, to Tang Tian, just a bit closer, and he would be able to attack.
But at this moment, there was an unexpected hiccup.
Inside the lighted screen, an air bubble suddenly appeared out of nowhere. In the blink of an eye, another air bubble appeared, the following scene, made everyone held their breath involuntarily. The air inside the lighted screen seemed to be boiling. One air bubble after another, suddenly popped out.
These transparent air bubbles were as large as a fist, after appearing, they floated quietly in the air.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Tian was surrounded in a patch of air bubbles.
What was… … that?
Outside the lighted screen, everyone’s eyes were wide opened.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Vacuum Balls!
Tang Tian was extremely alarmed, each air bubble was a Vacuum Ball. Tang Tian could also produce Vacuum Balls using his Concussion Punch, but compared to the uncountable and densely packed Vacuum Balls before him, Tang Tian felt that his move was really petty.
If Tang Tian still could not gauge the opponent’s abilities previously, then this move instantly brought Tang Tian to a whole new understanding of Magic Flute’s abilities.
Tang Tian seemed to realize that the nature of the sound of the flute was also a type of vibration.
He had practised Concussion Punch before, and had a deeper understanding of vibrations than others. If one wanted to form a Vacuum Ball, one must use a strong vibration to annihilate the air.
But so many Vacuum Balls at once… …
In Tang Tian’s eyes, each Vacuum Ball was like a vibration point. In his vision, densely packed, were thousands of vibration points, co-existing!
Such a formidable Magic Flute… … How did he do that?
Tang Tian racked his brains, but he could not think of how Magic Flute could achieve this. However, the sense of danger in his heart was already heightened to a feeling that was never felt before.
Divided by numerous air bubbles, Magic Flute’s figure of his head hung low while blowing his flute, became ethereal. Under the almost apparent killing intent, Magic Flute’s long hair flew in the wind, and revealed his handsome, focused face.
His long slender fingers moved lightly on the bronze flute. This light, breezy move made Tang Tian’s hairs stand on ends.
The entire sky was filled with Vacuum Balls floating quietly, and converging towards Tang Tian slowly from all sides.
