Dongfang Bubai slightly furrowed his brows, but after a mont of thought, he understood Jiang Dali’s strategy and couldn’t help but silently praise him in his heart.
This Black Wind Village Chief, seemingly bulky and simple, actually had a mind sharper than anyone else.
At this mont, Chu Liu Xiang and Bai Zhan Tang had also simultaneously leaped onto the courtyard wall.
The Qinggong they exhibited was distinct from that of ordinary people.
Even if ordinary people managed to jump onto the wall, they exhibited very obvious lifting motions.
Yet these two n appeared as if they were kites pulled by strings, barely touching their toes before gracefully ascending, followed by one flamboyantly fanning himself as he gently floated down.
The other one, with one toe pointing downwards and the calf of the other leg hooked behind, landed on one foot in a golden rooster stance before finally steadying himself on both feet.
Jiang Dali watched in admiration, secretly applauding. He wished he too could possess such elegant Qinggong, but clearly, that was impossible.
His Qinggong would likely involve jumping over the wall and shattering several bricks with a single stamp of his foot, which suited his style more.
"Black Wind Village Chief."
Chu Liu Xiang unfolded his fan and gently waved it, his graceful movent afloat as he fixed his gaze on Jiang Dali with a smile, "Our last encounter was hasty, and I had to leave before getting to know you better. My apologies for disturbing you again this ti. Please forgive my rudeness."
Jiang Dali snorted coldly with a light scoff, "Last ti, had you left even a bit slower, you wouldn’t be standing here talking to right now. Yet you dare co again? Do you really think you can take the Sword Box from ?"
Chu Liu Xiang shook his head, "Frankly, it’s the most challenging theft I’ve ever faced; I’m not confident I can take it. I’m afraid there are no thieves left in the world who could take the Sword Box from you and Dongfang Bubai."
Jiang Dali crossed his arms across his chest impatiently, "If you’re not confident, then why are you here? Do you really think I, Jiang Dali, am a pushover? You didn’t show up here just to tell this, did you?"
Chu Liu Xiang smiled, "Exactly. I want you, Black Wind Village Chief, to willingly hand over the Sword Box to ."
Jiang Dali burst into laughter, "Are you crazy, or am I?"
Chu Liu Xiang smiled, "Neither of us are crazy. In fact, by waiting for to show, you were already prepared to deal with this nuisance.
But since Dongfang Sect Leader might still be recovering from old injuries and unable to fight at full strength,
and you, Chief, can’t match my speed in movent techniques, you can’t keep here for long.
Thus, another way to resolve this issue is to willingly hand over the Sword Box to ."
Jiang Dali frowned, his smile fading as he looked taken aback, "Chu Liu Xiang, you really are as clever as my other friend, Lu Xiaofeng."
"Being considered by the Chief as equal to Lu Xiaofeng is indeed a high praise," Chu Liu Xiang responded with a faint smile.
"And too; I am Thief Saint Bai Zhan Tang, famous alongside the Thief Commander. Shouldn’t I also be considered on par with Lu Xiaofeng?"
Bai Zhan Tang imdiately moved forward, his head pitching forward as he stared at Jiang Dali and pressed for an answer.
"Thief Saint?"
Jiang Dali frowned at Bai Zhan Tang, who was dressed in the shabby attire of a waiter, and spoke with a muted smile, "The fact that Chu Liu Xiang could get you to co indeed ans you must have so skill."
He didn’t finish his thought, instead turning back to Chu Liu Xiang, "Indeed, I could give you the Sword Box, but if you manage to acquire the Jade Cicada and Golden Butterfly, I don’t need the Jade Cicada, but the Golden Butterfly must be mine, along with the other jewels within the tomb."
Chu Liu Xiang responded with an elegant faint smile, "Usually, Confucius Temples are grand and solemn, opulent with gold. On the contrary, Temples of the God of Wealth are often very poor, decrepit, and small.
Any treasure is most precious when unobtainable; once acquired, its allure fades.
Thus, the rumored golden cicada jade butterfly, if I manage to obtain them, rely seeing them once would diminish their value in my heart, and I would naturally be able to give them to you. I just fear that I won’t be able to get them, then their value remains priceless..."
Jiang Da Li laughed loudly, "You certainly didn’t co mainly for the golden cicada jade butterfly, it seems you also guessed that sothing suspicious is in the Lonely Elder’s tomb. You are here to investigate so matters."
Chu Liu Xiang lightly shook his folding fan, noncommittal, "Now, could the village chief voluntarily hand over the Sword Box to ?"
"No!"
Jiang Da Li uttered a word that surprised both Chu Liu Xiang and Bai Zhan Tang, and slowly, a smile ford on his face.
"I know, the highest Realm of your Thief Sect is to steal hearts. And you, Chu Liu Xiang, are known to have never failed.
If I were to voluntarily hand over the Sword Box, it would an you’ve successfully stolen my heart, and you, Chu Liu Xiang, would still never have failed, but I, Jiang Da Li, would beco the one from whom treasures have been successfully stolen. My reputation would, in turn, boost yours as the Thief Commander, which is not a good deal for ."
Chu Liu Xiang was stunned.
He was always graceful and composed.
Because he was always confident in everything he did, carrying the calmness and composure of having strategies up his sleeve.
Yet, from Jiang Da Li, the seemingly crude and large mountain bandit and chief of Black Wind Village, he had repeatedly miscalculated, as if the opponent himself was a man full of variables.
"So what exactly do you want?"
Bai Zhan Tang, losing his patience, rolled up his sleeves, "Say it quickly, let Old Chu give up, so I can go back. Let tell you, this matter actually isn’t related to at all, I was dragged into this."
A curve ford at the corners of Jiang Da Li’s mouth, "I’ve long heard that both the Thief Commander and Thief Saint have excellent lightness skills and astonishing theft techniques. I want to see them for myself."
With a quick motion, Jiang Da Li raised his hand and Qi Force suddenly burst forth in his palm. Instantly from the package on Demon Hawk’s back, the Slaughter Emotion Sword Box flew out, snatched into his hand.
"I’ll give you a chance. Dongfang Bubai will not make a move, just let see how you take the Sword Box from my hand.
If you can successfully take it, consider it a successful theft, then just give the Golden Butterfly."
With that, Jiang Da Li laughed heartily and stuffed the Sword Box into the beak of the Demon Hawk, curved like the Cold Hook, and stomped his foot on the Demon Hawk.
Instantly, the Demon Hawk flapped its wings, its talons forcefully pushing off from the ground, and furiously gathered winds as it soared into the air like a small plane.
Chu Liu Xiang’s eyes sharpened. Without hesitation, he kicked off the courtyard wall, his figure moved as if a kite with its string cut, suddenly mastering the wind and remarkably maintaining an astonishing ability to stay aloft.
In the blink of an eye, he covered a distance of seven or eight zhang to the just-ascended Demon Hawk, his hand reaching straight for the Sword Box in the hawk’s beak.
Boom!
Jiang Da Li struck out with his palm, the air trembled and the blast exploded, a fierce Qi Force aid directly at Chu Liu Xiang.
Chu Liu Xiang felt the heat wave hitting his face, his skin burning, his expression changed, and he imdiately flipped in mid-air to avoid it, about to land when suddenly his folding fan sharply opened.
Swish—
A whirlwind-like Qi Force ford with the motion of his folding fan, bizarrely twisting his body, and suddenly he approached the Demon Hawk’s beak from the other side, reaching out his hand again.
Split Light Capture Shadow!
