Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 441 Tall and Hard
Some of these fishing boats are just small boats with only a hull and no canopy.

These people all live in villages, and the materials used to build their boats are not very good. They usually drag them ashore and only take them into the water when they are fishing.

Some fishermen live on their boats and take extra care of them, bending bamboo poles, bamboo strips, tarpaulins, and thatch into boat awnings. Some families of three, and some even of four, live on one boat.

Boat owners like these often possess some skill in repairing small boats and are also very adept at net fishing.

The fisherman stood at the bow of the boat, singing a folk song. He swung his fishing net around and around in time with the song, creating a perfectly round trajectory before casting it out.

The fishing net was spread out in mid-air, covering the water, and slowly sank.

"Yao San, you've got a great catch today, you're sure to get a big shipment."

An old fisherman from a nearby boat saw this and praised it.

Yao San smiled at the bow of the boat, while the woman sewed clothes inside the awning.

A three- or four-year-old child, wearing only a pair of shorts, curiously peeked out of the boat awning to see the old man who had greeted him earlier.

Yao San turned to look at his child, worried that he might fall into the water, when suddenly he saw a dark shadow flash before his eyes.

The wind whistled past their ears, and the child's screams and cries instantly echoed across the water.

Many fishermen looked up in this direction.

A large eagle with a wingspan of over four feet used its hook-like talons to grab a child and soar into the sky.

Before swooping down, the beast made no sound; after succeeding, it spread its wings and soared into the sky, letting out a triumphant cry.

Moreover, the eagle circled overhead, seemingly displaying its prey, lingering there for a long time.

Many fishermen panicked, shouting and hitting the water with bamboo poles.

Many people wanted to save the child, but they didn't know how to do it.

Someone lifted a bamboo pole, took a deep breath, and the muscles on their upper body exposed to the air immediately tensed up.

"do not move!"

The old fisherman shouted urgently, "That beast is unusually clever; you can't hit it with your bamboo pole!"

Moreover, the eagle is now more than ten feet above the water.

Even if someone manages to hit the eagle, the child will fall and crash into the water, and will certainly die.

Yao San and his wife were extremely anxious, their teeth clenched so tightly that blood seeped from their roots, and they glared angrily at the sky.

Phew! !

The eagle suddenly cried out again.

The old fisherman had the best eyesight; he clearly saw that the eagle's two feet had suddenly broken off, the cuts clean and neat.

The Yao family child, with two broken claws attached to his body, fell towards the water.

Before the old fisherman could leap out of the boat, a figure stepped into the air and caught the child.

Chu Tianshu, holding the child, walked on water without sinking, and with a serious expression, first pressed two acupoints on the child's body.

He noticed the strangeness from several miles away and set off, intending to blow up the eagle with a single finger.

But as he got closer, he saw that one of the eagle's claws was gripping the child's left thigh, and the other was gripping his chest and abdomen.

If the eagle were blown up directly, its dying nerves might cause it to twitch and disembowel its young.

Therefore, when he severed the eagle's claws, he did not intend to detonate them. The blade's energy contained only a solidifying intent, instantly freezing the two severed claws into steel, rendering them immobile.

"Fortunately, although the skin and flesh were broken, the internal organs were not damaged."

Chu Tianshu controlled the two severed claws, released the claw tips, and pulled them out one by one, then wiped his palm on the child's wound.

The child's wound miraculously closed up, and the original wound emitted a faint green glow, which quickly faded away.

It took more than half a month just to get the Dongtian site moved back to China.

During that period, Chu Tianshu often stayed there, only occasionally coming out to drink some water or go to the toilet.

After returning to China, although his time was up, he still had ten days to spare.

Now, his foundation has been transformed into the "True Explanation of Boiling the Sun in the Great Void," allowing him to control the radiation within his body as easily as controlling his original internal energy.

With such skill, restoring life to a child and healing wounds would be a piece of cake.

Cut off the feet, remove the claws, and treat the wounds.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The child was stunned by what had just happened. He landed in Chu Tianshu's arms, speechless and bewildered.

But just as his wound was being soothed, his body suddenly trembled.

Chu Tianshu saw the reflection of the vicious bird flying by in the child's dark, bright eyes.

"Don't be afraid."

Chu Tianshu chuckled and tilted his head, using his face to block the child's view, then casually waved his right hand.

Ga! !

The eagle's body suddenly stopped in mid-air, then rapidly expanded, exploding into a cloud of blood mist and hundreds of scattered feathers.

Blood splattered onto the shore, staining the green grass red.

The broken feathers fluttered and swayed, some landing in the water, others on the grass.

The child shifted his body anxiously, turning his gaze away, only to be surprised to find that the large bird had vanished from the sky.

"Yaowa!"

The old fisherman used a bamboo pole to propel a small boat along the bottom of the water. The boat came swiftly, and when it reached Chu Tianshu's vicinity, he changed direction and pushed off with the bamboo pole, bringing it to a steady stop. He then knelt on the bow of the boat in a gesture of respect.

"Thank you, young hero, for saving Yaowa."

Chu Tianshu looked at the bamboo pole.

Hidden within the bamboo pole was an old Tang sword, its subtle aura of weaponry stirring up Chu Tianshu's memories.

"Blood-Forged Military Strategy..."

He muttered to himself and summoned the token screen.

really!

The token records the worlds it has visited, which are then displayed as different icons.

The icon representing the Tang Dynasty world is clearly lit up now.

I've actually returned to this world. It's only been two or three years since I last came here.

That time, I went to Chang'an under the stars and took the magical route of Hai Donglai Biao, but I didn't have time to appreciate the scenery along the way. This time, I can wander around at my leisure.

"The child is out of danger, but may have a larger appetite in the next few days."

Chu Tianshu handed the child to the old fisherman and silently calculated, "Hmm, four days."

"Let him resume his normal appetite in four days. Do you have enough food?"

As he said this, Chu Tianshu glanced at the child's real parents.

Yao San was rowing his boat this way. The old fisherman took the child, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "If I wanted to fish, I could catch quite a lot myself. I have no family to support, so helping Yao San for a few days is no problem."

He looked at Chu Tianshu and hesitated for a moment.

“Young hero, after the eagle lost its leg, it did not flee. This is not the behavior of an ordinary wild animal. It is probably a hunting falcon trained by a wealthy family.”

"Please leave as soon as possible, young hero, to avoid getting involved in those troubles. We should also hurry away and stay away."

Chu Tianshu had already noticed that a group of riders was approaching from the mountain road about ten miles away.

Hearing the old man say that, he just smiled.

"Alright, you can go first."

The old fisherman knew that he had no say in the actions of such a person. Since he had already given his advice, he thanked him again, hurriedly rowed his boat, and turned to leave.

It seems this old fisherman is quite prestigious.

As he left, he only shouted a few times, and the nearby fishermen quickly hauled in their nets and hurriedly rowed away in their boats.

Not everyone lived downstream, but at this moment, they all headed downstream, hoping to get away as quickly as possible.

Chu Tianshu walked a few steps through the water, returned to the shore, and looked in the direction of the riders.

Here, the mountains stretch endlessly, and the mountain roads are winding and twisting, with few straight paths.

Chu Tianshu looked up, only to find his view blocked by the hill, preventing him from looking directly at it.

But as the riders whipped their horses and sped up, Chu Tianshu's perception became clearer and clearer, even without relying on his eyes.

Thirty-three people, all on horseback—no, wait!

Chu Tianshu showed a slight look of surprise, took out the Heavenly Eye, and stuck it on his forehead.

With each blink of the Heavenly Eye, minute radiation waves suddenly spread out.

This method of reconnaissance could only be used after Chu Tianshu transformed his foundation.

An invisible fluctuation, farther and more subtle than telekinesis, rippled outwards.

The trees, birds, insects, and rock crevices in the mountains ahead are reflected in the Sky Eye in a unique and three-dimensional way.

The subtle fluctuations traveled even further in an instant, clearly sweeping across the riders.

The boy leading the group was only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a golden crown and fox fur coat, with red lips and white teeth, and a handsome appearance.

The scholar walking alongside him had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a fair complexion with a slight beard.

The rest of the group were mostly dressed in leather armor, longswords, and bows and arrows, and were riding on horseback.

There were only two exceptions.

These two men were walking; they had thick black hair, imposing appearances, and bushy beards.

The torso was encased in iron armor, but the arms were exposed.

What surprised Chu Tianshu were these two people.

Because they are about four meters tall!

Moreover, he wasn't the skinny, stick-like type; instead, he was muscular and had developed horizontally.

Their shoulders were more than twice the width of an average person's, and they carried long-handled warhammers as if they were straw.

Chu Tianshu's Heavenly Eye continuously scanned the bodies of these people.

Especially those two giants.

Four meters tall!
If you put this kind of person in front of a house in your hometown village, their feet would still be on the ground in front of the door, but their head would already be sticking out of the second-floor window.

A true giant.

However, there was no unusual bloodline energy or internal energy circulation in their bodies.

Its muscles and bones are all marked by the strength and skill it has been forged through rigorous training.

These traces of refinement are so numerous, subtle, and intricate, layered upon layered, that they are now impossible to decipher.

Chu Tianshu couldn't possibly deduce their training methods from observing the traces.

But at least we can be sure that they were born with the physique of an average person.

It was through some kind of training method that I grew into this shape.

"That can't be right. I've only been gone for two or three years, and the Tang Dynasty has changed like this?"

Chu Tianshu closed his Heavenly Eye, hiding it in his forehead, and reached out to touch his chin, full of doubts.

"These two don't even have a soldier's spirit. How could they grow this tall just by honing their physical strength?"

“Back then, when I chatted with Hai Donglai and Zheng Hui, even with their status, position, and life experience, they never mentioned having such skills.”

Tap tap tap!

Horse hooves flew, and laughter drew near.

The group of knights had already rounded the hills and arrived at this meadow on the riverbank.

The elegant young man leading the group saw the conspicuous bloodstain on the grass and the feathers of the falcons as soon as he arrived.

"I……"

The boy was momentarily bewildered, his smile freezing on his face. "Where's my eagle? Did you kill my eagle?"

The scholar glanced at Chu Tianshu, then looked at the fishing boats that hadn't gone far on the river, and spoke in a low voice.

“Prince, the Eagle Slave has been trained for a long time and is not ordinary. This man is young and does not have the imposing presence of a weapon. He is obviously weak and has no bow or crossbow. How could he be killed so easily? He must have joined forces with those fishermen and done something dirty.”

The boy awoke with a start, gritting his teeth and saying, "These lowly people dare to kill my eagle!"

"Mr. Wen, kill them all! Kill them all! I want them to be buried with me!"

The scholar responded, "Among the mountain people and fishermen near the royal city, there are many old soldiers. Guard Zhao, you lead fifteen men there. Do not be careless."

"Prince, what do you think should be done with that young swordsman?"

The boy said with disgust, "This guy is so stupid, he doesn't even run away. Hmm, his clothes are quite novel. Could he be dressed as some foreign barbarian? Let me take a look."

The guard Zhao had already received his orders and was about to leave with his men.

To their surprise, their steeds stood stiffly on all fours, and even after they squeezed their bellies and whipped them two or three times, they still wouldn't budge.

"Even these horses have practiced boxing."

Chu Tianshu shifted his gaze away from the horses.

"You guys just said something really disgusting."

His gaze swept over those people.

"I've seen too much disgusting stuff, I'm almost used to it. Forget it, let's just go through the motions."

"You... kneel down and answer!"
