Chapter 1224: The Nine-Revolution Golden Needle Acupoint Puncture Technique

Boom!!!
The moment the Patriarch of the Qin Sect straightened up, the celestial phenomena in the valley changed. The music between heaven and earth seemed to be forcibly compressed by an invisible force into an intangible space. The increasingly intense music was suddenly muffled, as if coming from a very distant place, with a sound as faint as that of a mosquito—quite remarkable.
It was the pure power of the Heavenly Dao. Even Kai Xin’s eyes shone with excitement as his spiritual perception covered the entire valley without any obstacles, exploring the Patriarch’s mastery and utilization of the Heavenly Dao…
At the same time, Kai Xin was also very worried, unsure whether Wind Chime could hold on under the Patriarch’s powerful mental pressure and will.
He could clearly sense that under such pressure, Wind Chime’s movements in plucking the strings had slowed down significantly, and the melody became intermittent.
The pressure from the power of the Heavenly Dao would grow stronger. If this continued, Wind Chime’s situation would become increasingly difficult. Once controlled by the power of the Heavenly Dao, it would be hard for her to turn things around.
However…
It was already quite challenging for a player at the Wuwei realm to resist the mental pressure of a master of the Heavenly Dao.
With this thought, Kai Xin suddenly noticed that Wind Chime had stopped playing the zither!
“Huh?”
Slightly stunned, Kai Xin thought Wind Chime had given up, a hint of disappointment and sigh in his eyes…
After all, Wind Chime was no ordinary player at the Wuwei realm. With her Nine-Yin Life-Ending Meridian body, her combat strength far exceeded that of ordinary Wuwei realm players. Moreover, she inherited the teachings of the Six-Finger Zither Demon, possessing extraordinary martial arts skills. Her strength surpassed that of most top experts. Even if she couldn’t resist the Patriarch’s mental pressure and the power of the Heavenly Dao, she shouldn’t give up so easily.
This…
Would only make the Patriarch underestimate her, causing her to lose the last chance to gain his recognition.
The Patriarch in the vegetable garden also noticed Wind Chime stop playing the zither, his eyes flashing with an indescribable complexity.
Just then…
Wind Chime suddenly changed her approach. In a flash, she took out a set of golden needles from her Qiankun Bag. Splitting her hands, she used her ten fingers to grasp nine golden needles.
Nine gleaming golden rays shot at the Baihui acupoint at the top of her head at incredible speed!
Seeing this, both Kai Xin and the Patriarch let out a slight gasp of surprise!
Seeing Wind Chime targeting such vital acupoints on her own body, Kai Xin’s heart leaped to his throat. He felt a chill in his heart: This girl is determined to fight to the death!
“Golden Needle Acupoint Puncture, a secret technique—Nine-Revolution Golden Needle Art?!”
The Thousand-Faced Fox, with his extensive experience, immediately recognized Wind Chime’s technique and blurted it out.
Before his words could fade…
Boom!!!

The Nine-Turn Golden Needle Technique was unleashed, and an invisible, powerful aura surged out from Wind Chime’s body in all directions! Her hair flew high into the air, her eyes glowing with eerie white pupils, as a cold and mysterious aura erupted from her!
Mythical Realm?!
Wind Chime’s internal cultivation level had instantly risen by one tier the moment the needles were thrust into her body, reaching the mythical realm that every martial artist aspired to!
This discovery left Happy utterly stunned, gasping in shock.
Wind Chime’s strength was already remarkable—her Wuwei Realm allowed her to surpass top experts and even take on two or three of them alone. With her internal cultivation enhanced, her musical notes turned into blades, each attack carrying the power of a Mythical Realm warrior. Which ordinary Wuwei Realm practitioner could withstand such attacks? Even peak Mythical Realm experts would likely have to avoid her!
Clang!!!!!!
Wind Chime’s eyes turned red, her hair fluttering wildly! Yet she skillfully placed her hands back on the strings of the zither. With a few casual strums, a powerful sound shattered the constraints imposed by the Zither Sect’s master, Tian Dao. All the plants, trees, and rocks in the valley trembled violently.
The valley was shaking…
The intensity was astonishing!!
Without pause, Wind Chime continued to play a melody brimming with murderous intent.
As if confirming Happy’s suspicions, the musical notes leaped into the air and quickly transformed into sharp blades!
Both in speed and intensity, these blades were far more powerful than those created before!
Dozens, even hundreds of these blades filled the sky above the valley, creating a deadly atmosphere. A highly dangerous aura spread from Wind Chime outward, engulfing the entire valley.
At that moment…
Even Happy couldn’t help but feel a sense of threat, sensing the fierce killing intent and coldness in the rows of blades floating in the air.
If Happy felt this way, what about Xu Yao and the Thousand-Faced Fox?
The Thousand-Faced Fox knew well the terrifying nature of the Nine-Turn Golden Needle Technique. Forcing one’s internal cultivation level to rise required sacrificing part of one’s life force, gaining immense power at a great cost.
“Master, be careful!”
The Thousand-Faced Fox, pale-faced, warned urgently, “Although the Nine-Turn Golden Needle Technique can instantly raise someone’s cultivation level, if not controlled properly, it can easily drive a person insane, allowing their instincts to be taken over by violent power. Your friend is likely already under control of those instincts. Now that the blades can’t distinguish friends from enemies, staying here will only get you killed!”
“…”
Hearing this, Happy frowned slightly.

The Thousand-Faced Fox was, after all, a master at the late stage of the Mythical Realm, with acrobatic skills on par with those of top Heavenly Dao experts. Now, even he was terrified at the mere sound—this showed just how formidable the killing melody played by the Wind Chime had become. Xu Yao also wore a look of panic and shock! Although she didn’t know the Wind Chime’s true strength, from the way her clothes moved without wind, her eyes turning white, and the overwhelming presence of hundreds of terrifying sword auras, she could tell the Wind Chime was on the verge of losing control. Turning her head, she met Happy’s concerned gaze. The latter said, “Wan Nian, escort Xu Yao back and take her outside the valley…” “Yes, Master!” The Thousand-Faced Fox obeyed Happy without hesitation, carrying out his orders meticulously. Xu Yao didn’t resist either. She knew that in the valley now, there was one Heavenly Dao expert and oneout of control Mythical Realm piano demon—even Happy himself might be under threat. Caring for someone at the Liberation Realm level was far too difficult. Yet… Xu Yao was still very curious about the old man at her side, who seemed like an NPC but strangely followed Happy as a servant, never even letting her know his identity—very mysterious. Following the mysterious old servant’s orders and retreating a hundred meters, Xu Yao immediately heard continuous sound explosions and the violent collisions of energy in the valley. Boom! Boom! Boom!!! The intense sounds of battle came one after another. The piano melody grew more ferocious and rapid! The continuous sound of wind cutting through the air coming from the valley seemed to slice at her ears, extremely sharp. The powerful air currents blew from afar, making her clothes flutter wildly. Xu Yao widened her eyes and had to activate all her abilities and form a protective barrier just to stand firm amidst the violent winds… In the end, it was the Thousand-Faced Fox who stepped forward to block some of the wind currents, allowing Xu Yao to feel slightly better. Standing behind the Thousand-Faced Fox, Xu Yao’s gaze toward the valley became utterly terrified! If it was already so difficult from such a distance outside the valley, she couldn’t imagine how terrifying the area where the Heavenly Dao experts were fighting must be. She couldn’t help but feel worried and concerned… After the Thousand-Faced Fox escorted Xu Yao away, their departure seemed to provoke the Wind Chime. The hundreds of sound blades in the sky clanged together, forming a massive river of blades, abandoning their original target, the head of the Qin Sect, and charging in the direction where the Thousand-Faced Fox and the Wind Chime were retreating. “What!” Happy was shocked by this sudden turn of events! The sound waves from the Heavenly Demon Piano could kill over a vast range, even farther than ordinary arrows…

Kai Xin had once seen Wind Chime easily take down enemies from 150 meters away by beheading them, so he was well aware that a Mythical Realm Wind Chime had an even wider attack range. Now, seeing Wind Chime lashing out uncontrollably in his direction, he felt both amused and exasperated. He had originally intended to test the Master of the Qin Sect and show off his own strength to him… But things had turned out like this! Fortunately, Kai Xin was quite skilled himself, and with a fighting spirit to spar against Wind Chime’s suddenly enhanced power, he remained calm. With a flip of his palm, the Heavenly Crystal Divine Weapon landed in his hand. Wind Filling the Sky! Facing the uncontrollable Mythical Realm Wind Chime, Kai Xin didn’t dare take any chances and used his most powerful ultimate move. An attack force of nearly 100,000 multiplied by seven was like seven highly skilled Heavenly Dao experts attacking simultaneously! Even so, facing over a hundred sound blades launched in one go as a fierce combined attack, Kai Xin had no choice but to fly back while dodging the attacks… Because Wind Filling the Sky’s explosive power had significant limitations, Wind Chime’s musical notes, however, could keep coming! As expected! Though the seven astonishing sword auras shattered the terrifying river of sound blades, Wind Chime reflexively plucked the strings, sending waves of sound blades after Kai Xin, completely nullifying the aftereffect of his strike. In mid-air, Kai Xin retreated frantically… Wind Chime plucked the strings with both hands, sending endless streams of sound blades whizzing through the air to strike at Kai Xin! Kai Xin gradually found it harder to defend against them. Initially, by retreating while quickly counteracting the attacks, he could still cope. But as the number of sound blades in the air increased and surrounded him, Kai Xin sadly realized his space for maneuvering and dodging was shrinking. The pressure on him grew exponentially! Since he couldn’t get close enough to attack Wind Chime directly, he could only use passive methods to outlast her. How could he endure this for long? His True Vital Energy Field had to be activated! Thankfully, the Heavenly Demon Armor he obtained from the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance provided amazing defense, reducing damage by 30% as well as damage from dark energy. Moreover, having trained in the “Meridians Transformation Scripture” and the “Soul Purification Scripture,” Kai Xin’s defense was even stronger than that of a Heavenly Dao expert. A few cuts were like a tickle—otherwise, he would have died several times already at Wind Chime’s hands. “This damn girl! Still not waking up!!” Kai Xin cursed inwardly. After a few minutes, Kai Xin noticed something was wrong with Wind Chime… As time passed, her movements while playing the zither gradually slowed down. Blood trickled from her nose and mouth, her complexion turned pale, and her body swayed unsteadily. Damn! Realizing Wind Chime’s condition was critical, Kai Xin immediately understood—it must be the excessive strain on her body from controlling such violent power, leaving it unable to sustain it.

“Dead old man! Are you planning to keep watching like this?”
Happy glared angrily at the carefree white-haired old man in the vegetable garden…
