Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 131 Drought Demon Appears
At the last village, Zhao Yifu held his breath and prepared to deal with it first before doing anything else.

However, when he arrived outside the village, he couldn't help but change his expression.

Because the terrain of this village is quite good, it can be said to be a Feng Shui treasure land where wind and energy are gathered, and the surrounding terrain is also very good. If you walk a little further, there are large areas of flat land that can be used for farming.

At the same time, there is a small stream flowing out of the mountain, so irrigation is not a problem at all.

Zhao Yifu stood on the hill and looked out, and he even seemed to see a swirling cyclone above the village.

But this is not the key point. The key point is that he looked at the direction of the mountains in the distance and could immediately tell that this mountain village was also standing on the remaining ground veins of Prison Cell Mountain.

At the same time, Zhao Yifu could also analyze that this was also the passage point of underground water veins.

Judging from the previous pollution of underground water veins, there is no doubt that there are big problems here.

As expected, in his spiritual vision, the mountain village in front of him was filled with a strong and extremely foul yin energy.

In fact, Yin and Yang are not dirty in themselves. They are both the forces that operate in the world and are very pure.

It’s just that Yin energy is more likely to be “dirty”.

And just as he was watching, his eyes suddenly focused and he discovered something.

He turned to Wu Zhong and said, "Uncle Wu, the yin energy here is too strong and it's not good for your health. Just wait outside with Yueya. I'll be back soon."

Crescent is the name of their donkey, named after the crescent-shaped tuft of white hair on its forehead.

Zhao Yifu fed it a handful of elixirs, which resulted in sunk costs, so he had no choice but to decide to keep it officially.

Wu Zhong nodded silently. He was a smart servant and knew that he should not cause trouble for his master when he was not strong enough.

What's more, he could see the situation below clearly from this hill, and he could clearly see if Zhao Yifu was in any trouble.

At this time, Zhao Yifu had already walked into the mountain village.

He felt very strange, as if he was a foreign object that suddenly broke into an independent space.

The surrounding Yin energy was so dense that he could clearly feel the disturbance it caused to him.

The evil energy penetrated every pore and tried to corrode his entire body.

But he was protected by the Haoran robes, which made him like a stone falling into calm water, emitting circles of ripples.

This situation made him alert, and he realized that he might not be able to draw out the heavy black iron sword to fight.

Because the heavy black iron sword would probably be corroded and damaged quickly in such an environment.

He walked carefully on the streets of the village, paying attention to every movement in this deserted village.

But the whole deserted village was quiet, unexpectedly quiet, without a single sound.

This silence is not the kind of silence where everything is silent, but the kind of dead silence with no life at all!
Zhao Yifu walked in the village, his eyes sweeping across the courtyards, but he unexpectedly noticed something.

It's very dry here, as if it hasn't rained for a long time.

Just within the scope of this village, the land is dry, yellow, and even cracked!

This is not normal.

You can clearly see a small river flowing through here from outside, it shouldn't be like this...

But when he reached the so-called "small river", he was stunned, because this was not a small river at all, it was already a dry riverbed!
There is no river here at all, everything is an illusion.

And Zhao Yi Fu has been under an illusion since he entered this village!

No, this can even be said to be an illusion!

Zhao Yifu couldn't help but feel a little impatient, but he quickly calmed down. After all, he had already discovered this, so the next step was just to figure out how to solve this problem.

He began to count on his fingers.

Calculate the state of your surroundings based on the scenery in front of you. After all, the first thing you need to confirm is whether what you see is still false.

After this calculation, the problem was quickly discovered.

The first thing he could be sure of was that he was still in an illusion.

Because the various parameters he calculated based on "The True Numbers of the Universe" do not match completely.

Strictly speaking, it is full of mistakes and omissions!

This is very subtle.

He originally thought that being able to create such an illusion must be very powerful, but now he feels that creating an illusion may be very simple, the difficult part is how to create an illusion without any mistakes!
Anyway, he now sees too many loopholes in this illusion.

Once the loophole is found, breaking the formation will naturally be easy.

So he turned towards a corner of the village, and the scene in front of him changed, and he saw the anxious Wu Zhong looking around on the hillside.

"Master, what happened? Why did you disappear as soon as you entered the village?"

Zhao Yifu listened to the urgent matter and had already run to the hillside. Wu Zhong shook his head and said, "I knew you wouldn't be able to sit still."

"There's an illusion array down there, but it's very simple. Watch how I break it."

As he spoke, he leaped up, spread his arms and flew to the top of the mountain like a roc spreading its wings.

Then he looked at the surrounding terrain, calculated for a moment, and made a plan in his mind.

Wu Zhong was very excited. He thought he would see his young master activate the 'Sage Mode' and put on another magical feast like before.

The overwhelming fire the day before was still fresh in his memory.

however……

After looking around, Zhao Yifu walked to a huge rock that was almost as tall as a person, and then opened his arms and hugged it...

"Drink!"

He exhaled and spoke, and then his muscles tensed up. The Haoran robes on his body, which were originally able to adjust to his body shape, almost couldn't hold it because of the instant muscle expansion.

At this moment, Zhao Yifu's heart was like a burning internal combustion engine, pumping blood rapidly throughout his body, and then causing his muscles to burst out with extremely terrifying power in an instant.

He calls this state 'reckless mode', and he used to be able to do it by controlling his blood flow.

But every time I entered the 'reckless mode', it would cause huge damage to my body.

But now it's different. He has the foundation of the Holy Body of Martial Arts, and with the 'Shou Ren Method' he can directly absorb the innate energy from the outside world to replenish himself, which makes this 'reckless man mode' truly take shape.

Of course, in this state, Zhao Yifu's power has also been epically enhanced.

Just like now, he exhaled and spoke, and without any effort at all, he lifted up the huge rock that looked like it weighed three tons.

Then he twisted his waist slightly and threw the huge rock from the hillside to the village at the foot of the mountain.

"Young Master, you truly are... a king reborn, strong enough to lift a tripod..."

Wu Zhong was at a loss for words.

This shocked him more than any full-screen spell Zhao Yifu could cast.

Because he doesn't understand magic but he understands the body of a warrior!

That was why Wu Zhong was able to deeply realize that his young master's body was like a demon on earth.

"Don't look like that. There are many spells in this world that can do the same or even better. This is nothing to be surprised about."

Zhao Yifu looked at Wu Zhong modestly and said, "Boom!"

As he finished speaking, a huge rock smashed into the center of the village formation.

That's right, he had already determined the center of the illusion, so he was so confident.

The next moment, the village scene they saw disappeared like a bubble.

It then became a desolate and withered scene.

This entire valley where wind and energy gather is actually a desolate desert.

Where is the village?
It has already turned into sand!

It was surprising that this was a small desert terrain.

"What has drained all the water from this place?"

Zhao Yifu felt a little unbelievable.

At the same time, he was also glad that he did not seek a way out of the illusion, because doing so would be equivalent to putting himself in another illusion.

Even if he was sure, he couldn't deny the risk.

"Master, what did you smash?"

That could be said to be the only building here, but unfortunately it was completely smashed into pieces by Zhao Yifu, and it is impossible to tell what it is.

Zhao Yifu said with a serious look, "It seems that the thing below has been awakened by me. You should stay away. The next battle may be quite intense."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong immediately stepped back.

Zhao Yifu no longer waited for the other party to move, but jumped down from the hillside again, stepping on the unique yellow sand terrain under his feet and running quickly towards the place where the huge rock fell.

At this time, he was holding a heavy black iron sword in his hand, and his body was extremely agile, looking like he was going to kill someone.

At the same time, the place that was originally pressed by the boulder shook suddenly, and then the boulder shattered.

A figure jumped out from the ground, landed on the ground, and looked at Zhao Yi Fu rushing towards him with a ferocious look.

Zhao Yifu saw the image of an old man with a plump figure. Although the old man looked plump, he always felt that something was wrong... Yes, he was not a living person.

"This is the drought demon, you have to be careful."

Suddenly, a painting floated out from Zhao Yifu's sleeve. Emperor Wenheng was sitting in the middle, solemnly reminding Zhao Yifu.

Zhao Yifu was shocked, and at the same time he understood the reason for the severe drought in Fenglin County five years ago.

It was probably at that time that the drought demon was born, causing drought and turmoil in the entire county.

At this time, he had already arrived in front of the old man and chopped him down with a knife.

Don’t worry about anything else for now, let this drought demon try his knife first.

"when!"

With a loud bang, the heavy black iron sword directly chopped off the forehead of the drought demon.

The drought demon definitely hadn't reacted yet. After all, it was sleeping soundly. Who would have thought that it would be woken up by a stone, and then hit on the head with a knife after waking up?

Therefore, the drought demon was chopped back by the sword.

Zhao Yifu himself also felt a huge recoil force.

However, this recoil force was easily resolved by the Shouren method.

This is the power of dominance!
He took two steps forward and struck again.

"when!"

The drought demon was hit on the forehead again, leaving a red mark.

However, the red mark did not last long and disappeared in an instant.

The drought demon woke up after being hit twice in succession, raised its head and charged towards Zhao Yifu with a howl.

It seems like he has no strategy and no fighting skills.

Zhao Yifu slashed out again.

But this time, the opponent turned his head to avoid the sharp edge.

Then the blade chopped off Hanba's neck, which was like hitting a concrete block with a wooden stick for Zhao Yifu.

The drought demon didn't even pause, forcing Zhao Yifu's blade to stretch out its hand and grab at his heart...

Seeing this, Zhao Yifu stretched out his leg and kicked.

In fact, his leg strength was even stronger than his claw strength, and this kick sent the drought demon flying away.

At the same time, the effect of the Hanshan Shoes left a mark of frost on his chest.

Zhao Yifu looked at the frost mark, wanting to see what effect the ice spiritual power would have on the drought demon.
However, the drought demon seemed to be unaffected. The frost on its chest fell rapidly, and it continued to rush towards Zhao Yifu.

Zhao Yifu felt that this was a difficult situation. How should he fight against this opponent who was invulnerable to swords and guns but also very strong and obviously very energy-consuming?
Hanba's power is stronger than his normal state. Does he have to directly turn on the reckless mode and fight hard?
Anyway, it is impossible to solve Shouren's problem by using magic, because the body of Hanba is definitely not something that can be harmed by magic of his level.

As for the reckless mode... he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to last long.

At this time, in the picture of summoning gods floating nearby, Emperor Wenheng was sitting with his horse and sword in his arms, his pair of phoenix eyes slightly closed, and his eyebrows moved like knife blades.

He stroked his beard and said calmly: "Use force to transform strength, and intention precedes strength; when the edge and intention are combined, strength will assist the divine edge!"

Zhao Yifu's mind quickly changed, and he realized that this was Emperor Wenheng reminding him how to defeat the drought demon in front of him.

"Using force to transform into strength" is not difficult to understand. In the study of martial arts, force and strength are two different concepts, or in other words, strength is an advanced version of martial artists' ability to use their own strength after they have fully mastered it.

Zhao Yifu had already understood this point when he was able to master the Crane Claw grappling technique, so he was actually able to do it when he was practicing swordsmanship before.

So this time when he faced the drought demon, the way he slashed with his sword was slightly different.

There was a sense of concentrated power beneath the blade, the power gathering into strength, and then the blade slashed out...

The force burst out and immediately blocked the movement of Hanba, preventing it from continuing.

Zhao Yifu's eyes lit up and he understood what he should do next.

To transform force into strength is actually to mobilize strength through muscle groups. This is the ultimate performance of external martial arts, but it also takes time to gather strength in this way.

Zhao Yifu is a practitioner, so he naturally understands the importance of "intention", so the next step of "intention comes first" is actually another level: using one's own will to directly mobilize the strength in the muscles, thus gathering it into strength!
is it hard?

"boom!"

Zhao Yi Fu blasted away the drought demon again. The power in his blade was secretly condensed and did not disperse.

At this point, his heart was completely at peace, and he already knew what to do.

The intention comes before the strength, which is also the level of swordsmanship he can reach at present. Then the next step should be to "combine the edge and the intention".

He discovered that the swordsmanship taught by Emperor Wenheng really had little to do with moves, but was all about the application of strength and intention.

From this, he couldn't help but imagine that Emperor Wenheng would personally swing the sword. What a magnificent scene that would be!
