I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts
Chapter 472 - 371: Thunder and Drums
As powerful beings of the Jiuli Tribe, the Chimei Wangliang wield a combination of techniques.
Different eerie cries emitted from their mouths, then overlapped and merged, forming waves of magical sound that could make one dizzy and lose their mind.
The eight flying heads of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady were caught off guard by the sudden attack as the magical sound filled their ears.
The heads, pouring out spiritual power, began to strike at each other, disrupted by the magical sound.
Fiery beams struck the slender "necks" connecting the heads, scattering flesh and revealing the pale bones underneath.
The damaged areas were charred black.
"Heh, what Profound Lady? So what if she’s merged with a demon? She’s still suppressed by us."
"What are you waiting for? Get them on the move!"
The Chimei Wangliang continued to emit strange cries from their mouths, which even some of their own Jiuli people found hard to withstand.
Hearing their calls, the four Great Chiefs nodded slightly, responding in tacit agreement.
Members of the crowd, Jiuli Warriors with fleshy wings on their backs, stepped forward one by one.
The central area of the plain had become a sunken abyss, which no one could approach.
Even powerful Jiuli Warriors found it difficult to harm the Nine Heavens Profound Lady with throw attacks.
Fortunately, there were other means to face the current situation.
It is well known that the Jiuli corresponds to nine major tribes, founded together by Chi You and his eight brothers.
Among them, Chi You was the strongest, the Great Chief, while the others, being slightly less powerful, were Chiefs.
The Jiuli Warriors under different Chiefs each had their specialties.
For example, these Jiuli Warriors with fleshy wings were specifically trained under one of the Chiefs.
Besides their powerful flesh bodies, they also possessed the ability to fly and escape through the earth.
"Kill!"
Cries of battle echoed through the sky.
The dense Jiuli Warriors descended from all directions like raindrops, aiming for the Nine Heavens Profound Lady standing over the abyss.
At this moment, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady found herself a bit overwhelmed.
The eight heads fluttered chaotically in the sky, as attacks from Jiuli Warriors closed in on her.
Suddenly, a drum appeared before her.
The drum was almost the size of a table, and its surface had blue and purple stripes of unknown material.
The next second, the chaotic heads of the Profound Lady found their opportunity, diving down and crashing heavily onto the drum surface.
Dong!
The thunderous boom shook everyone present to their core.
A ripple spread from the drum surface in all directions.
The Jiuli Warriors flying in the air suddenly lost their ability to fly and plummeted downwards.
Suddenly, the sky began to rain human bodies.
The Jiuli Warriors unable to fly fell into the abyss, where death awaited most of them.
The situation reversed in an instant.
Furthermore, when the drum sounded, the Chimei Wangliang, who had been "howling," suddenly clutched their heads in agony and squatted down.
The drumbeat seemed particularly lethal to them; it wasn’t long before two of the Jiuli’s powerful beings were bleeding from seven orifices, looking miserable.
The Nine Heavens Profound Lady scored a hit and wasn’t done; she conjured three more drums around her body.
Surrounded by a total of four drums in front, back, left, and right.
Her eight heads simultaneously descended from the sky, each striking the drum surface with precision.
In an instant, the continuous drumbeats echoed endlessly.
Not to mention the Chimei Wangliang, even the ordinary Jiuli Warriors, including the four Chiefs, began to feel their blood and energy churn, and soon they were spitting blood.
The two powerful Chimei Wangliang couldn’t bear it either, curling up on the ground like insects trampled by elephants.
The situation was on the verge of spiraling out of control.
With a "zeng" sound, the Torn Silk Zither Sound rang out, interrupting the continuous drumbeats, giving everyone a chance to catch their breath.
Gasping for fresh air like drowning men, they heard a strange young male voice.
"It’s the Kui Ox Drum."
"Crafted with Kui Ox Hide as the drumhead, the specially made Kui Ox Drum is said to thunder like roaring thunder, spreading over hundreds of miles without stopping."
"The thunderous sound absolutely suppresses demons and, in the hands of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, possesses a forbidden airspace effect."
As he spoke, a handsome young man walked over from afar.
Behind him were a burly Jiuli Warrior and a beautiful young woman.
"Thankfully, we made it."
"Any later, and the whole army might have been wiped out."
The Chimei Wangliang lying on the ground twitched briefly at the corners of their mouths.
The young man’s words were truly harsh.
Yet they couldn’t refute it.
After all, they were still lying paralyzed on the ground, nearly electrocuted to death by the Kui Ox Drum’s sound.
The Nine Heavens Profound Lady’s nine heads simultaneously turned to look at the newcomer, Han Zhan.
She licked her lips, ×9
"..."
"Why do I feel like she wants to eat me?"
Stared at by nine pairs of eyes, Han Zhan momentarily felt a bit of social anxiety.
So he drew out the Moonlight Longsword from its scabbard, gripping the hilt in his right hand.
"She does want to eat you; defeat her!" Li Wu shouted from behind. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"It’s not that easy. Not every monster is conveniently countered. How about you try?"
Han Zhan felt that Li Wu was getting cocky.
Having had smooth sailing following him, don’t underestimate the Nine Heavens Profound Lady!
Sensing the disdain in their conversation, the four Kui Ox Drums around the body of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady were struck again.
Dong, dong, dong!
The rumbling sounds made the earth tremble with them.
The eight heads of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady flailed wildly, and the high-frequency strikes made onlookers’ heads ache.
Truly desperate.
Everyone present reacted differently when they heard the drumbeats.
Needless to say, the Chimei Wangliang, as they were mountain and sea spirits, even after becoming powerful, had no resistance to this innate suppression, and they continued to roll around on the ground.
The Chiefs, Jiuli Warriors, including Li Wu, once again experienced accelerated heartbeats and the inability to breathe.
Li Lingzhen’s brows furrowed slightly; inside her, electricity surged, leaving her numbed.
So this is electrotherapy? Remember this feeling for later writing.
If Han Zhan knew what Li Lingzhen was thinking right now, he would surely give her a solid flick on the forehead to clear her head.
Han Zhan was the least affected by it; the six Great Ruins absorbed a significant portion of the lightning damage, leaving the remaining electricity’s power incapable of even numbing his body.
Drumbeats were different from vocal sounds.
Vocal sounds could be dispelled with zither music, while drumbeats, apart from loud zither sound, had much less interference from other zither music.
Especially since, after being interrupted once, the opponent had gained experience, now striking the drum with increased force, rendering even loud zither sound unable to stop it.
More troublesome, the presence of the forbidden airspace domain cut off Han Zhan’s possibility of repeating old tricks with close combat.
At this moment, in the sky above the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, thunder clouds began to gather wildly, forming a swirling vortex!
You have the drum; I have the thunder.
