The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 880: This Pipa, Doesn’t Seem to Be Your Style

They didn’t need to continue watching—everyone knew Nanli would definitely have her head smashed in.

The Seven Peaks Sect was a long-standing sect, with each member truly skilled. They were not like the useless elders and disciples from Penglai Island!

Nanli, this time, you were too overconfident!

However—

As the large hammer came down, Nanli injected her spiritual power into the Dark Moon Sword.

The sword’s body emitted a faint glow.

With the first rays of dawn, she raised the sword and blocked both of the huge hammers.

It looked easy and effortless.

Jade Wall Peak Master froze for a moment.

She was the first person from the Upper Realm to dare block his hammer.

And she was a woman.

He was stunned for a moment.

"Getting distracted in battle is a great taboo."

Nanli raised her hand, directly knocking Jade Wall Peak Master back.

Then, she jumped lightly, and with her Dark Moon Sword, she struck down.

Jade Wall Peak Master landed on the ground, not daring to underestimate her, and swung his hammer horizontally again.

It looked like brute force, but it was actually infused with spiritual power, capable of shattering weapons and treasures and spreading into the body’s meridians, even reaching the Dantian.

The sound of wind cutting through the air rang out.

Clang, clang!

The disciples of the Seven Peaks Sect nearly had their jaws drop to the floor.

Because...

Because both of the hammers were cut in half and fell to the ground!

And Jade Wall Peak Master was knocked back by Nanli’s sword strike, tumbling backward.

"Senior Brother!"

The three Peak Masters rushed over to catch him.

Upon closer inspection, they saw Jade Wall Peak Master’s hands trembling, veins bulging, clearly showing that Nanli not only had powerful spiritual energy, but her physical strength was also exceptional.

Jade Wall Peak Master couldn’t hold onto the broken hammer anymore. His face twisted in pain as he admitted, "I... I lost... I lost!"

He had lost so humiliatingly!

He glared at Nanli, his voice full of anger. "You could have easily defeated me, yet you used a wooden sword to humiliate me. Nanli, although you won, you lost your character!"

Nanli shook the Dark Moon Sword in her hand, helplessly saying, "This is just the sword I’ve always used. If I wanted to humiliate you, I would have fought you barehanded."

Jade Wall Peak Master’s face flushed red from the shame.

But Crimson Glow Peak Master looked at the Dark Moon Sword several times and felt it looked familiar.

"Is... is this the Firewood Chopper’s sword?" she quickly said, trying to salvage Jade Wall Peak Master’s pride. "Senior Brother, losing to this sword is understandable."

"..." Jade Wall Peak Master wished she hadn’t said that.

Snowy Peak Master then said, "Firewood Chopper was a renowned immortal. His sword fell into your hands, Nanli, but you’re wasting it!"

Nanli raised an eyebrow. "Not satisfied? If you can, come take it from me."

Snowy Peak Master had originally planned to call the other two Peak Masters to join forces, but since Nanli had Cinian and Bai Hao behind her, he didn’t dare to make any rash moves.

The Sect Leader had returned, but was meditating to recover, needing them to buy more time for him to heal before they could lure Nanli and the others into the Seven Peaks Sect. Once inside, they could activate the Sky Net Formation and surely eliminate Nanli and the rest.

With this in mind, Snowy Peak Master’s lips curled up, a plan forming in his mind. "Nanli, in terms of fighting, I cannot beat you, but how about we compare musical instruments?"

"What? You want to delay?" Nanli immediately saw through his plan.

Snowy Peak Master didn’t flinch at being seen through. He shook his head lightly, saying, "Everyone says that Jifeng Celestial Sovereign is infatuated with you, so I want to know just how much talent you have, that he would be so obsessed with you, even going so far as to give you the Sky-Tearing Sword."

"You think that if I accept, I’m a fool?" Nanli rolled her eyes. "I’m not skilled in music. If I accept, won’t that make me a fool?"

She then turned to Bai Hao and the others, preparing for battle.

Bai Hao was itching to fight already. Why waste so many words? Just charge in and fight.

"Alright!" Bai Hao jumped out first.

"Wait!" Snowy Peak Master quickly stopped him. "Nanli, music can reveal a person’s temperament. If you beat me and make me genuinely admire you, then I’ll believe Yun Shen’s words. I’ll personally take you to Yunxiao Peak to verify it."

Bai Hao retorted, "Why go through so much trouble? Just fight!"

"Wait a moment!" Cinian shouted. "Nanli, this is Master Yun’s senior brother and sister. If you truly injure them, Master Yun will surely blame himself later."

Yun Shen, who didn’t want to fight with the Seven Peaks Sect, also pleaded, "The Ninth Princess, Zen Master Cinian is right. Competing in music can reduce the casualties."

Nanli looked at them, her eyes deep. "You all are..."

Too naive.

But since they were Yun Yubai’s senior brothers and sisters, she could take a step back. If someone were to die later, Yun Yubai could hardly blame her.

It was also their lucky day. If Qingwu hadn’t gone off to detox, she wouldn’t have wasted her time here.

"Fine, I’ll agree," Nanli said. "What instrument will you use?"

Snowy Peak Master took out his treasure, a jade flute. "In Immortal World, my flute playing is unparalleled. If you’re confident, you can use a flute to compete against me."

Nanli raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, I don’t like playing the flute."

She rummaged through her Qiankun Bag for a moment.

Finally, she found an ivory and gold-inlaid jade pipa.

Cinian furrowed his brow and asked directly, "Nanli, this... this pipa... doesn’t seem to be your style."

It seemed like something Chu Shuo would use.

Nanli sighed. "It’s true, it’s not mine."

It was something her Second Brother found after reading various books and realizing there was such a thing as music cultivation. He had forced her to carry it just in case.

Bai Hao already felt something was off.

Ximen Chuan bluntly said, "Just based on the tone, you’ve already lost!"

As expected, Snowy Peak Master looked at the pipa and showed a look of disdain.

"Nanli, using such a vulgar pipa to compete with me, aren’t you humiliating yourself?"

The instrument was overly decorated with gold and silver, which affected the sound quality. How could it possibly sound beautiful?

Nanli replied, "Whether it’s humiliating is my business. Let’s start."

At the other side, Crimson Glow Peak Master noticed Nanli’s grip on the pipa wasn’t quite right. He whispered, "Junior Brother, she’s not skilled in music theory. You’ve already won."

It seemed like a rough and uncultured woman.

Snowy Peak Master secretly rejoiced, but his expression remained unchanged. He raised the jade flute and began playing.

His music could confuse the mind, suppress spiritual power, and transform into invisible blades that could kill silently.

Once the flute played, it was ferociously strong, and waves of sound directly struck toward Nanli and the others.

Nanli’s fingers just touched the pipa strings, and she quickly plucked them. Though the music was disordered, it managed to convert her spiritual energy into sound waves, blocking the power of Snowy Peak Master’s flute.

But disordered music could never overcome the precise skills of a musician.

If she continued like this, Nanli would exhaust her spiritual energy before the song ended.

At that point, Snowy Peak Master would win!

Tsk, tsk. Jifeng Celestial Sovereign really had poor taste, getting so obsessed with such a crude woman.

He focused and played even more intently, trying to drain Nanli’s spiritual energy completely.
