Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 452 The Rhythm of Gathering and Dispersing

Boom! !

The drumhead vibrated slightly.

Su Xian and Li Chenxiang both looked at the drum, but neither of them felt anything unusual.

That's normal. Chu Tianshu just tapped out a drum sound with his fingernail, and the force of the tapping was very small.

"Senior Chu, would you like to know the magical powers of this drum?"

Li Chenxiang said, "Back in the capital of Zhenla, a member of the Mountain King's sect once beat this drum wildly. Anyone who got close to him felt restless and spat out blood."

"The power of this drum should be to control blood, but we don't understand the unique techniques of the Mountain King lineage, so even when we encountered enemies on the road, we didn't dare to use this drum."

Is it because he controls blood that he can defeat Hai Donglai?

Sounds reasonable.

Hai Donglai suffered from a congenital blood-related disease, a fact that was relatively unknown more than a hundred years ago.

However, more than a hundred years have passed, and with so many achievements and countless people analyzing his early life, it is easy to discover his unusual behavior back then.

However, to be honest, the path of Heart and Blood Martial Arts inherently emphasizes physical training.

In the eyes of Chu Tianshu, who truly understood Hai Donglai's condition.

When Hai Donglai breaks through to the Suwang realm, his congenital vampire porphyria should be cured without medication.

This disease is no longer his fatal flaw.

Chu Tianshu stared at the Mountain King Divine Drum and tapped the drumhead three times with his fingers.

dong dong dong! !

The scattered aura of the soldiers on the divine drum suddenly showed signs of coalescing as the drum surface continued to vibrate.

The spirit of this divine drum actually exists in fragments under normal conditions.

Only when struck, like adding a trigger, will these fragments briefly come together.

However, Chu Tianshu continued to beat the drum.

These fragments, which had become increasingly tightly packed together, suddenly dispersed after reaching a certain limit, returning to every corner of the divine drum.

Just as these invisible fragments suddenly scattered.

Su Xian and Li Chenxiang both felt their hearts skip a beat, and a surge of heat seemed to overflow from their pores, so they couldn't help but cover their chests.

However, Chu Tianshu controlled his strength very well, so the effect of the drumbeat could only go so far.

"The soul-binding power of this drum is not about manipulating blood at all..."

Chu Tianshu focused his gaze and raised his hand.

A few wisps of bluish smoke rose from the tip of his index finger, branching out and drifting into the air.

That was a bit of skill that originally came with his index finger.

As the fragments of the Mountain King Drum's warrior spirit gathered and dispersed, the little bit of power on his index finger also showed a tendency to escape from his body.

"Gathering and then scattering, so that's how it is."

Chu Tianshu had already understood the true mystery of this drumming magic.

When the drums first sound, there are signs that the spirits of the soldiers are gathering, and there are also signs that the concentration of the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) is increasing.

As this vital energy pulsates, it naturally permeates the bodies of all living beings in the surrounding area.

If an enemy directly manipulates a certain kind of energy and tries to inject it into a master's body, the energy will bear the enemy's will label.

This expert was naturally able to detect it in time and instinctively resist.

However, the will of the drummer first created confusion through the unique existence of the fragments of the soldier's soul.

When the drumbeats resonate with the rhythm of heaven and earth, they are not simply aimed at a particular target.

Then, some exotic energy that even the drummer himself had not comprehended would be drawn in and permeate the target's body.

The target cannot be detected in a short period of time.

As the drumbeats rose higher, the fragments of the soldiers' spirits suddenly scattered.

Those exotic energies will also suddenly dissipate outwards and return to nature.

Borrowing and returning is a fundamental principle of nature, and it is not surprising.

The surrounding things, after this gathering and dispersal, do not seem to cause much of a hindrance.

But for experts, the impact will be very obvious. Whether it's called a taboo, an attainment of the Tao, or a sage king.

The concentration of vital energy within such powerful individuals is actually far higher than that of the surrounding natural environment.

However, because they themselves have reached an extraordinary level of resilience in some aspect, such as in their soul, body, or meridians.

Therefore, the difference in the concentration of internal and external vital energy does not usually cause them any trouble.

The sudden dissipation of the Mountain King's Divine Drum seemed to set a bad precedent for the vital energy within these powerful individuals.

Even a thousand-mile-long dike can be damaged by an ant hole.

A large amount of highly concentrated vital energy will be carried away and dissipated outwards.

From the perspective of someone with higher internal strength like Chu Tianshu, it means that his internal energy will leak outwards.

In those who specialize in martial arts of the heart and blood, there will be a direct phenomenon of blood spurting out of the body.

This phenomenon is certainly not fatal for experts.

Because top-tier experts have a high concentration of vital energy and thus greater control, they can always promptly curb bad tendencies and resolve loopholes.

The problem is that the effect of this drumbeat is proportional to everything...

"If we express it numerically, a top expert originally had twenty, but if they lose 10% of their combat power, they would become eighteen."

"If an ordinary expert originally had only ten combat power, losing ten percent of it would reduce them to nine."

"Originally, the difference was ten units, but when the drum sounded, the difference was only nine units."

Chu Tianshu closed the lid of the wooden box containing the divine drum, lost in thought.

"The greatest benefit of this thing is that it can narrow the gap between us."

"If the difference is already so small, the weaker side is more likely to turn the tide once the drums sound!"

It seems that the Mountain King Monk of yesteryear realized that he could no longer outmatch Hai Donglai in terms of numerical strength.

Even if they try their best to catch up, they still can't catch up, so they want to use this method to narrow the gap.

But if you think about it in a shameless way...

The best way to use this drum is to gang up on it.

They gathered a bunch of slightly less skilled fighters, used the sound of drums to close the gap, and then surrounded and killed Hai Donglai.

This condition was difficult to achieve back then, as there were two powerful forces at the same time. If one side dared to provide assistance, the other side would naturally have its own helpers to step up.

Other countries will only want to watch and will never want to get involved.

But now, the situation is probably different.

"Back then, the Mountain King was too old and lacked potential."

Chu Tianshu didn't spend too much time thinking about the overall situation; his mind had already turned to something else.

He patted the wooden box, his eyes shining.

"If one can use the power of drumbeats to harmonize with the rhythms of heaven and earth and activate a different kind of primordial energy that one has not yet comprehended, how could such a method be used for more than just tricking people?"

"If, at the same time as the first half of the drumbeats, the foreign energy that has entered the body can be refined."

"Isn't practicing with drums such a method the best way to broaden one's foundation?"

The essence of Mingwang's finger spear technique should be mastered to perfection before one can comprehend the corresponding primordial energy of heaven and earth through the "General Principles of Victory Method".

However, if one can use the Mingwang finger spear to strike the drum.

Can one enjoy the corresponding vital energy entering the body in advance when the artistic conception of the technique has "entered the inner sanctum"?

After experiencing this kind of vitality, it will naturally be easier to truly understand it.

"However, finding and refining a non-hostile alien rhythm within the body in such a short time is a considerable challenge."

Chu Tianshu pondered this in his heart.

In this kind of situation, you definitely need to maximize your internal energy efficiency. If you don't find the target in time, the drumbeat will have already subsided, and you might accidentally injure your meridians.

"Fortunately, I am a doctor."

He chuckled softly, already having a plan.

"Let me get some pills specifically for treating meridian problems first, then I'll try this method."
