The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 420: The Sin of Orphiel

"Fang Mu, shouldn't we use the 'Soul Washing Song' to wash away the evil spirit? What is this music score?"

Wang Dadong frowned, clutching the sheet music titled "The Sin of Orphiel" tightly in his hand, his face filled with confusion. In his understanding, "Soul Washing Song" had always been the most effective method for dispelling the demonic nature of those with demonic powers, but this unprecedented piece of music had caused him to have doubts.

Fang Mu looked solemn. He took a step forward and took the music score from Wang Dadong's hand.

"Zhong Wanjun's situation is completely different from that of an ordinary demonized psychic. He's on the verge of becoming a martial corpse. What we need to do is not only to eliminate the demonic nature and miasma of immortality within him, but more importantly, to restore his body to vitality. 'Soul Washing Song' alone cannot achieve this goal."

It turned out that when Fang Mu went to the Iron Time and Space to obtain the "Soul Washing Song", he told the leader of the Dead Group the cause and effect of the matter in detail.

After listening to the explanation, the leader of the Dead pointed out the shortcomings and asked the East City Guard to look through the ancient books. After a difficult search, he finally found the "Sin of Orphiel" that was most suitable for solving Zhong Wanjun's current situation.

"Ultimate Encyclopedia: The Sin of Orphic: Legend has it that its creator, overcome by longing for his beloved's death, journeyed alone into the underworld, attempting to bring back his wife's spirit. Faced with resistance from Hades, he composed this song, and his profound affection moved Hades, who agreed to return his wife to the living. However, on his way back to the living, the composer, overcome by longing for his wife, glanced back, causing her soul to fall into the underworld forever, unable to transcend. Playing this song can profoundly save a person's life, achieving the effect of 'resurrection from the dead'!"

"I see!"

Wang Dadong suddenly realized what was happening. He clutched the music score tightly in his hands, and his anxiety eased slightly. He knew that for this piece of music to be effective, the player must possess a combat power index exceeding 100%. So, its magical effect seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

Just as that person and Lei Ting and others were busy preparing to play musical instruments, Hua Linglong shouted loudly.

"Class teacher, King, Zhong Wanjun has been tied up!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhong Wanjun tied tightly to a chair, with a towel stuffed in his mouth and his limbs tied tightly with ropes, unable to move at all.

"Is everyone ready?"

Fang Mu's eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the people around him.

After some arrangements, someone was responsible for playing the drums and controlling the rhythm, Lei Ting sat in front of the piano, and Wang Dadong and Xiu Ze, who came from the Iron Time and Space to support, took on the responsibility of playing the guitar.

Hua Linglong, Qiu Qiu, Gu Zhan, Zhi Ge, and Li Yanyan are responsible for transmitting combat power index to the performers.

"Everyone, since we're all here to help Zhong Wanjun, I'll be frank!"

Fang Mu strode up to Zhong Wanjun and glanced at everyone.

"During the performance of 'Sins of Orphiel', I will do my utmost to ensure everyone's safety. If anyone's combat power index is insufficient, or if an outsider comes to cause trouble, I will immediately take action to resolve the situation. But I must remind you..."

Fang Mu's gaze lingered on Lei Ting and Qiu Qiu for a long time, making them feel uncomfortable.

He knew that in the original play, Lei Ting gave up playing out of friendship, while Qiu Qiu gave up playing because she liked Zhong Wanjun. Both of them were very likely to give up playing because they felt sorry for Zhong Wanjun or were deceived by his appearance.

Because in the original drama, Lei Ting interrupted playing because she saw Zhong Wanjun's extremely painful expression when he received "The Sin of Orpheus", which almost caused a disaster.

Therefore, the square timber must be clearly stated in advance.

"Playing 'Sins of Orphiel' requires a certain level of combat power, and I have to ensure everyone's safety, so you only have one chance to play. If you fail, saving Zhong Wanjun will be much more difficult! I must remind you that you may have a deep relationship with Zhong Wanjun, but remember that he will undoubtedly endure immense pain in the process of washing away the miasma of immortality. If anyone interrupts the performance due to heartache or other emotions, I will no longer interfere. You're all on your own!"

Although Fang Mu didn't mention anyone by name, Qiu Qiu and Lei Ting's faces instantly turned red.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's get started!"

Fang Mu nodded slightly, then released a bit of combat power index to support everyone.

"Everyone... please pass on your skills to us!"

Wang Dadong put his guitar on his back and turned to speak to the people behind him.

Zhi Ge and Gu Zhan immediately unleashed their fighting strength, transmitting the power continuously into Wang Dadong's body through their palms.

Hua Linglong took out the exquisite Shuiyue Heart-piercing Mirror and used the weapon to transmit the combat power index into that person's body.

Qiu Qiu and Li Yanyan looked at each other, put their hands on Lei Ting's shoulders, and poured their fighting power into Lei Ting's body.

"let us start!"

Wang Dadong looked around and saw that everything was ready, so he reminded loudly.

"The Sin of Orphiel!"

As Wang Dadong, that guy, Xiu, and Lei Ting simultaneously activated their combat power index, the passionate music instantly rang out. The combat power index gathered by everyone's combined performance of "Ophir's Sin" soared all the way, quickly reaching a point.

As the music started, a colorful light slowly floated towards Zhong Wanjun's head. As the light shone, a faint smoke began to emerge from Zhong Wanjun's body.

Colorful light circled above Zhong Wanjun's head, and the passionate music of "The Sin of Orphiel" was intertwined with a powerful combat power index, trying to dispel the immortal miasma and evil spirit in his body.

However, after the light shone on him for more than ten seconds, Zhong Wanjun felt as if he was pierced by thousands of arrows, and his whole body became extremely agitated.

"Leiting!"

Zhong Wanjun's face was twisted and distorted with pain. Although there was a towel stuffed in his mouth, his unclear cries seemed to carry endless pain and penetrated into Lei Ting's heart.

Lei Ting raised her eyes and looked at Zhong Wanjun. The moment their eyes met, she clearly saw unbearable pain in his bloodshot eyes.

But Fang Mu's prior warning rang in her ears like a wake-up call: this time the playing must succeed, failure is not allowed. Once interrupted, Zhong Wanjun will be doomed.

Lei Ting bit her lower lip tightly. In the struggle between emotion and reason, she finally forced her head to turn away, not daring to look at Zhong Wanjun's miserable condition again.

"King... Zhong Wanjun..."

Qiu Qiu's heart ached, her eyes welling up. She was about to speak, but seeing Lei Ting's tense back, she bit her lip and swallowed her words. She knew it was pointless to say more. The only way to increase hope for the rescue effort was to honestly and continuously transfer her combat power index to Lei Ting.

As the music progressed, Zhong Wanjun's pain intensified. He twitched uncontrollably in his chair, his body pulled as if by an invisible force. He tried again and again to break free from the ropes, each struggle tinged with despair and agony.

Even if others deliberately avoided looking at him, the violent movements and the breath of pain made it impossible for everyone to ignore Zhong Wanjun's torment at the moment.

"Focus on playing!"

Fang Mu's voice was like an icy arrow, piercing the tense air.

He stared closely at Lei Ting and Qiu Qiu, not missing any trace of hesitation on their faces. At this critical moment, any slight emotional fluctuation could be the last straw that broke the camel's back in this rescue operation.

Lei Ting and Qiu Qiu woke up as if from a dream, quickly looked away, and forced themselves to focus on the task at hand.

Lei Ting took a deep breath, and her hands jumped nimbly on the piano keys again. The notes were like lively elves, blending perfectly with the guitar melody played by Xiu and Wang Dadong and the drum beats played by someone.
