CHAPTER 1726: CHAPTER 578: SILK SECRETS_3

"Keep talking." Old Liu was a bit entranced as he listened.

"The real power of the Blood Arresting Finger lies here as well. We all know that the blood within any living organism flows through their veins every moment. Similarly, each vein has a ’blood head’ that moves up and down the body constantly!" Yi Tiao intentionally shivered a little, "Just imagine, compared to over a thousand ’Acupoint Channels,’ the sheer number of ’blood heads’ holds a massive advantage!"

"Not only does it have this advantage, but the Blood Arresting Finger can affect any organism with flowing blood, whereas the Secret Aperture Technique only targets the Acupoint Channels of humanoid creatures!" Liu Zhenshock exclaimed noisily, likening the situation to a dragon walking on a cold winter’s day, with a pig inserting a scallion into its nose!

The Secret Aperture Technique seems akin to ’acupoint striking’ and is worthy of being called miraculous, but Qingya’s ’Blood Arresting Finger’ is undoubtedly more formidable-------------apart from the undead, there aren’t many known formidable beings that aren’t humanoid, yet which one doesn’t have blood flowing within?

"However, this skill is incredibly difficult to master. Without keen eyesight, pinpointing the moving ’blood head’ becomes exceedingly challenging; furthermore, the finger force used in the Blood Arresting Finger isn’t simply about a single touch, as it has its unique way of cultivating finger force!" Yi Tiao sighed, "But one must admit that compared to the potentially lethal Secret Aperture Technique, the Blood Arresting Finger is far weaker in terms of lethality---------- it only stiffens the body; it can’t kill, or even wound!"

"Heh heh! If a finger can’t kill, one can always use a sword." Old Liu’s tone carried a somewhat sour flavor: "This truly is an impressive skill!"

"More or less, it works for sneak attacks, but once someone knows the secret and becomes cautious, neither the Blood Arresting Finger nor the Secret Aperture Technique compares to the effectiveness of a large blade. No matter how harsh, it can’t beat having a knife inserted in the heart!" Yi Tiao touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I once learned the Blood Arresting Finger under Qingya but failed to master it."

"What an amazing martial skill! If used successfully in combat, it would be akin to the effect of Gaze Petrification!" Helen praised incessantly, "And it’s like an endlessly usable Gaze Petrification!"

"There’s a prerequisite though; the enemy must not be wearing armor." Elise laughed, "I’ve been listening for quite a while now and finally got it — the Blood Arresting Finger and the Secret Aperture Technique are essentially about attacking the hidden points, the blind spots that appear on the surface of a living organism!"

"In the face of the Secret Aperture Technique or when facing off with the Blood Arresting Finger, simply relying on armor is ineffective; disrupting the opponent’s attack rhythm is the most crucial thing! Have you seen the ’Mountain Punch’ used by the Pantans? It’s the traditional martial skill of our Silk Continent, where you strike through objects, even across distances. Although this technique is quite sophisticated, many on the Silk Continent are adept at it, and Qingya happens to be one of them! Qingya was the top young expert of Lishan Gate back then. When it comes to martial skills, her original mentor, the Elder Mother of Lishan, couldn’t compare to her. She learned many excellent martial arts from a mysterious wandering elder. The Blood Arresting Finger was just one of them!" Yi Tiao’s face beamed with pride, "Our Divine Beasts on the Silk Continent focus on close combat and pay particular attention to martial skills! Most Aegean Magical Beasts still rely on instinct and physicality to fight, severely lacking in attack techniques and overly reliant on Magic, quite primitive!"

"Who says so? Our Dragon Clan has always placed great emphasis on combat skills. In battles, we dragons use breath, fangs, and claws far more than Magic!" Ruona found Yi Tiao’s words to be quite biased.

"Even if one follows the path of Magic, isn’t that still a strength?" Old Liu laughed heartily. "Yi Tiao’s Silk Supremacy is showing signs of resurgence."

"Ultimately, Magic Power is limited. The body and martial arts are truly endless, inexhaustible means to conquer the enemy!" Yi Tiao chuckled, "Of course, I’m not saying that diligently practicing Magic is a bad thing. Achieving a perfect balance of Magic and martial skills is the true path to peak superiority!"

In the underground palace, chaotic sounds erupted, suggesting that the Summer Palace Warriors had climbed in through the copper corridor due to unease.

Soon, exclamations of amazement echoed in waves, with General Pan’s voice especially prominent.

Apparently, the gold, silver, jewels, and the weapons left by the wet corpses shocked not only Old Liu but also the descendants of Cloud Qin.

"Everyone, listen up!" Taking advantage of the moment before the Summer Palace Warriors entered the antechamber, Liu Zhenshock viciously threatened everyone who had witnessed his embarrassment: "No one is allowed to talk about how Qingya paralyzed my blood just now! If anyone dares speak, the ’Death Sense’ awaits!"
