Clang!!!
A loud bang echoed through the dark forest, a blazing light montarily illuminating the entire forest before quickly fading away, transforming into a ring-shaped shockwave spreading outwards.
Crash—
A massive amount of snow, corpses, soil, weeds, and even broken trees were violently pushed aside, swept towards all directions in the raging Qi Force.
Jiang Dali felt an overwhelming Sword Intent descending like a terrifying weight of Mount Tai, tightening his entire body. Under this fearso impact, even he was slightly pushed back, his War Boots deeply sinking into the ground.
"Strength!!!"
He bellowed, his entire body’s muscles and bones emitting a series of explosive whip-like sounds as the Essence Qi in his Dantian rapidly circulated, instantly entering the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body’s Destruction State.
His arms flexed, and outside his body, an imposing golden Qi Shield suddenly expanded, forcefully colliding with the domineering Heavy Sword condensed by the Primordial Spirit and Essence Qi.
Clang!!!!
The sound of a lodious bell ringing accompanied by the intense trembling Golden Bell Qi Force vibrating and spreading.
The ground beneath Jiang Dali’s feet violently shook, exploding as if struck by a seven or eight magnitude earthquake. The earth cracked and rose, the body within the Golden Bell Qi Shield pressing down and collapsing, pushing the ground high up.
The Heavy Sword, weighty as a mountain, suddenly fractured into countless cracks.
"Hoo!"
Jiang Dali stomped the ground fiercely, solidifying the surrounding air abruptly. In an instant, he broke through this solidified barrier.
!!!—
The entire world seed to quiet down suddenly.
He had already surpassed the speed of sound, his thick arms forming circles, suddenly spreading open. The humming and vibrating Golden Bell once again burst into golden brilliance, crashing the Heavy Sword into a frenzy of Qi flows, exploding and blasting the surrounding soil skyward, creating alarming fissures on the ground.
Whoosh!—
His steel body clad in Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor charged through the wild Qi Force, landing with a thud, knees slightly bent to absorb the enormous impact as his sharp gaze flashed like two bolts of lightning. It transford into a Primordial Spirit attack, striking towards a distant fleeing Primordial Spirit.
Monts later.
A prompt from the panel appeared.
Jiang Dali frowned, his eyes under the Profound Ice retracting their light, abandoning the pursuit decision.
Wan Zhongchen had already escaped using a special Primordial Spirit Skill during Jiang Dali’s confrontation with the Sword Intent, even going as far as splitting his Primordial Spirit into a Divine Fragnt.
What Jiang Dali pursued and destroyed with the Power of Primordial Spirit was rely a deliberate distraction, not the main Primordial Spirit.
At this mont, further delay in such an invisible intangible pursuit of the Primordial Spirit was almost impossible.
"Indeed, the direct lineage of a top family in the Holy Dynasty has various life-saving thods, almost on par with mine. To completely kill this person is truly difficult, like using tiles to wipe, letting one slip through. But if I encounter him again next ti..."
Jiang Dali slowly stood up, looking towards the giant pit nearby created by his previous stomp.
Inside the pit, Wan Zhongchen of the Wan Family’s direct lineage had already been smashed into a pulp by the violent leg strength, blood and flesh blurred, irrevocably dead.
But for such a Returning to Truth Realm expert, as long as the Primordial Spirit isn’t extinguished, it can’t be considered true death. Many thods allow them to cling to life, even to switch bodies and live as a normal person.
However, it’s foreseeable that no matter how suitable the new body is, it will never match their original body, greatly hindering their power cultivation and future Realm breakthroughs. Unless like Zhu Wushi, they carve out their own path, the impact may be mitigated.
"That Sword Intent and Sword Qi just now... Even ordinary experts of the Returning to Truth 5th or 6th Realm can’t possibly fabricate such ans."
Jiang Dali opened his face shield, breathing in the fresh external air, raising his arms a bit numb from the imnse force of the recent Sword Qi, pondering deeply.
The Sword Intent and Sword Qi he sensed had a resemblance to the Dugu Nine Swords, yet more domineering, towering over all heroes, akin to Dugu Qiubai at age forty in a Realm of ’Heavy Sword without Edge, Great Skill Requires No Work.’
Whether in his past life as a Huashan disciple or his encounters with Ling Hu Chong and Feng Qingyang, he was no stranger to the Dugu Nine Swords.
Though he never t the rumored Divine Eagle Hero Yang Guo, who inherited Dugu Qiubai’s Heavy Sword, he was quite familiar with the Heavy Sword’s essence.
Combining the Dugu Nine Swords’ breaking fist technique Wan Zhongchen executed earlier, Jiang Dali couldn’t help but expand his assumptions.
When encountering that elder from Yuanting Pavilion, the elder was extrely knowledgeable about Dugu Qiubai’s deeds, leading Jiang Dali to speculate that Dugu Qiubai might have stayed in Yuanting Pavilion after venturing to the Holy Dynasty.
Yet now, Wan Zhongchen from Lingyun Pavilion and the Wan Family’s direct lineage also seems connected to Dugu Qiubai, possessing a remarkable Sword Intent akin to that left by Dugu Qiubai via a Divine Fragnt-like thod. Perhaps Dugu Qiubai’s stay at Yuanting Pavilion is not so simple, this once peerless sage who dominated Song Country two hundred years ago journeyed to the Holy Dynasty and may hold a very special status.
"Let’s hope this sage doesn’t beco an enemy in the future!"
Jiang Dali exhaled, then opened the panel to check the prompt.
"You severely injured Lingyun Pavilion Steward of the Holy Dynasty, Wan Family direct lineage descendant Wan Zhongchen. Wan Zhongchen’s favorability towards you decreased by 5000. Your relationship with Wan Zhongchen has entered the Undying foe stage. Your relationship with the Wan Family of the top families in the Holy Dynasty transitioned from indifferent to adversarial. Your relationship with Lingyun Pavilion remains unchanged. Specific impacts are continuously updating..."
