The Funeral Song

Qin Manyun gasped and her face instantly turned pale as the blood dripped from her fingertips. She had no time to worry about herself for she was extremely anxious about what would happen to Daji and Fire Phoenix now that she was out of the battle. 

"Why did your playing become so rushed all of a sudden?" asked Li Nianfan with concern.

He had been listening to Qin Manyun playing and noticed that her tune was filled with murderous intent that just got more and more violent as time went on. She whipped the tune into a frenzy until finally, her playing lost all resemblance of a melody. It was obvious something was stressing her out and this was the cause of her broken strings.

"Master, I was just a little frustrated that my playing's too weak, and that it still lacks a certain kind of penetration," said Qin Manyun in a small voice.
