Listening to the clash between Li Jianfeng and Ning Su outside the forest,
Jiang Dali sat cross-legged and circulated the "Mighty God Fist," recovering the severely depleted Inner Qi and Qi-Blood consciousness he’d almost exhausted earlier while recalling the details of the recent battle to analyze the gains and losses.
"Li Canghai is indeed not a simple character; the power he displayed has already surpassed that of his sister, Li Qiushui.
It even feels like he’s stronger than Wuya Zi — at least Wuya Zi didn’t put this much pressure on , nor was it as intense.
Moreover, the final move that Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow executed, identical to my own, must be a simulation of the Little Faceless Skill from the Carefree Sect.
He saw through the routine of my Mighty God Fist and my cultivation pathways so quickly.
Then, he replicated the sa attack strategy; this mysterious, low-profile person is incredibly formidable; if Li Canghai were still alive, he definitely shouldn’t be unknown..."
A chilling thrill ran through Jiang Dali’s heart as he rembered the blood bar he had seen on Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow.
Such abominable entities like a Heart Shadow mimic their original owner, perhaps slightly inferior in terms of Qi-Blood but probably not by much.
Judging visually, Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow’s blood bar seed to be more than three tis his, appearing fragile yet imnsely powerful.
The reason for this had to be that the opponent cultivated so special technique to enhance Qi-Blood and life span or was naturally a powerful figure with additional virtues.
Jiang Dali speculated much but could confirm none.
He glanced at the last prompt on the panel.
"You have failed to challenge Li Canghai Heart Shadow’s True Form at the Gang Qi Realm!"
"Perhaps so mysteries can only be solved after defeating Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow."
Understanding this, Jiang Dali was not rushed.
Being temporarily unable to defeat Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow was not an issue; Dali could use this opportunity to cultivate. It was risky, but progress could only be archived under such pressure.
Shortly after, he heard the cease in the clashing sounds outside.
Jiang Dali ended his cultivation session and stepped outside.
There he saw Li Jianfeng and Ning Su panting heavily, their expressions a mix of shock and distress.
Clearly, both were embarrassed by being driven to such a state by their own Heart Shadows, yet surprised by the rapid improvent in their Martial Arts Proficiency after defeating them.
"Village chief!"
Seeing Jiang Dali erge, the two hurriedly straightened up and greeted him.
But their eyes, upon seeing his tattered clothes and still healing wounds, all shrank in shock.
"Hmm,"
Jiang Dali nodded indifferently, checked the position of the moon in the sky, and said, "Both of you will practice here in this valley tonight and quickly improve your strength. In the future, I need you to lead a group of elites to cultivate here and develop a team of experts capable of dominating the Martial World!"
"Yes!"
Ning Su and Li Jianfeng instantly perked up with a nod.
"In that small forest behind, there’s an even more dangerous area; don’t rush in there recklessly, or don’t bla if you end up dead."
Jiang Dali warned, and seeing both solemnly nod, he then turned his attention to another shadow that was consolidating on the opposite Wuliang Jade.
Whoosh—
Li Qiushui’s Heart Shadow burst out, taking the form of Ning Su’s and Li Jianfeng’s shadows, so it only had the strength of the Outer Qi Realm.
Ning Su and Li Jianfeng were shocked to see another Heart Shadow erge, especially since it was not one of theirs.
But at that mont, Jiang Dali made his move, effortlessly executing several powerful Finger Strength attacks, handling Li Qiushui with ease.
After a few exchanges,
Li Qiushui’s Heart Shadow at the Outer Qi Realm was quickly reduced to only one-third of its blood bar, its shadow significantly faded.
Jiang Dali then turned to Ning Su and instructed, "Tonight, after the two of you jointly defeat this Heart Shadow, you may rest in a place untouched by moonlight."
Ning Su and Li Jianfeng respectfully received their orders, joining forces to attack the remaining one-third of Li Qiushui’s Heart Shadow, giving their full effort without holding back any longer.
Having made all the arrangents,
Jiang Dali only then used his movent technique to climb up from the bottom of the precipice.
Ti seed to slip away.
The next day, when Demon Hawk brought Ning Su and Li Jianfeng back, both had made significant gains.
Even though they were all very tired, they felt exhilarated and sensed a great improvent.
anwhile, Jiang Dali had received three pieces of news in his study.
First, news had co from Hui Prefecture that Xuanming Two Elders had taken people to attack and drive away two Power Gang Demon People, breaking into a Power Gang stronghold, but on their way back, they encountered an attack by Power Gang’s Sword King Zhao Qiuxi and Poisonous Hand Qianluo’s two righteous daughters, barely escaping back to the mountain village with serious injuries.
Second, Power Gang leader Li Chenzhou had boldly killed Murong Fu of the Murong Family with three punches, ordering his n to put the body in an ice coffin and send it out of the city.
Third, Shuanglong reported that a disciple of Cihang Jingzhai, Miss Shi Feixuan, along with people from Dali Duan Family and Tianlong Temple, had visited together, intending to rescue Duan Zhengchun by challenging him to a contest.
"Li Chenzhou... killed Murong Fu with three punches!?"
Jiang Dali tapped his fingers on the desk, his heart filled with extre solemnity and his eyes with grave intensity.
Although Murong Fu’s strength wasn’t too strong, possessing the secret technique Star Shifting, which could turn his opponent’s tactics against them, his survival ability was undoubtedly strong.
Yet, he still couldn’t withstand three punches from Li Chenzhou and was killed.
This only demonstrated that Li Chenzhou’s Iron Fist had completely surpassed the limits of Murong Fu’s technique, not giving him any chance to resolve the force before being hamred to death.
Such terrifying strength was extraordinary.
Jiang Dali pondered that now, having eaten the Phoenix Gold Fruit and improved his speed, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to kill Murong Fu, but to kill him in three moves...
One word—difficult!
Compared to the news about Power Gang’s Li Chenzhou, the news about Miss Shi Feixuan and Tianlong Temple, on the other hand, seed trivial.
After last night’s battle with Li Canghai, Jiang Dali’s perspective and experience had also elevated; he held even less regard for one Miss Shi Feixuan and two monks from Tianlong Temple.
"Adding one Miss Shi Feixuan, do they think they can contend with , Jiang Dali? How naive!"
Jiang Dali sneered, looking toward Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong standing beside him, "Has the Emperor of Dali agreed to my demands? Did he add anything to the stakes?"
Xu Ziling nodded honestly and said, "Princess Zhen Nan, Lady Duan, has made a request. They need external help from Miss Shi to assist, and also request that you, Chief, do not use that secret technique that can instantly increase your strength several tis, and must do as you said that day, using only one hand, standing still, to compete with the three of them.
As a condition, if you still win like this, Emperor Bao Ding will directly grant you the Wuliang Mountain territory and give you the status of a Dali noble."
"Oh?"
Jiang Dali’s eyes twinkled with a mocking smile, "To deal with a few pieces of trash, why should this chief exert full effort? The old Emperor of Dali is really playing a fine gamble, winning to beco a Dali noble, and to be his servant? Pure nonsense!"
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong both shifted their expressions slightly, thinking to themselves how difficult this village chief truly was, not even valuing the status of a Dali noble.
But upon reflection, if he beca a Dali noble, he would be bound by that status; being a noble, one couldn’t very well rush out like mountain bandits to pillage and rob, could they?
Xu Ziling probed, "Then what do you an, chief?"
Jiang Dali waved his hand, "Agree to their demands, but I don’t plan to take action personally anymore. I’ll just remotely control a few Abnormal People juniors to entertain them.
If we win, the Emperor of Dali only needs to grant the Wuliang Mountain territory to , henceforth not obstructing Black Wind Village’s developnt in Dali, and forget the nobility status..."
"Remotely control a few Abnormal People juniors to compete?"
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were both taken aback, fully understanding Jiang Dali’s intention.
This ant transmitting force across space, controlling a few puppets to compete against people like Miss Shi Feixuan; this was far too arrogant.
With the Abnormal People’s weak strength, virtually worthless like mud that couldn’t be shored up, even with the chief’s remote transmission of force, could they really contend against seasoned monks from Tianlong Temple and the distinguished disciple of Cihang Jingzhai?
