The sun spread its golden wings like a peacock fanning its feathers, casting a radiant glow in every direction.
Golden light bathed every face at the Martial Arts Arena, making the breath visible as it left everyone’s mouth in the winter sun.
As everyone chattered away in billowing clouds of breath, the crowd suddenly parted as if by silent agreent, and the buzzing of conversation began to subside.
Then, under that sunlight, a towering figure appeared on the cleared path, seeming to cast the brilliant sunlight behind his back.
Cheng Kun was truly taken aback upon seeing Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali.
He had seen many a tall and burly man, but he had never laid eyes on a person with such an imposing stature, resembling a ferocious beast.
Black Wind Village Chief walked along the path parted by the crowd as if a Heavenly God had descended from his throne to roam the earth.
Almost everyone around him was at least a head shorter, creating a sense of looking up to a towering mountain.
He was wrapped in a black cloak, with a broad back that seed to block out the sunlight.
It was impossible to make out his face as it was shrouded in shadow; only his front profile was hidden in darkness. His body was outlined in radiant golden light, as if coated in a layer of gold.
So say that those with a well-developed physique must have a simple mind.
Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali was clearly not among them.
His gaze was cool and detached, exuding strong self-confidence and a prideful contempt for the world. Perhaps in his eyes, there was no obstacle too great to overco.
Although a supre beauty like Wan Wan accompanied him, all eyes were now eclipsed by the presence of such a warrior; no one would pay attention to beauty in the wake of such might.
For a powerful aura would not allow him to be anything but conspicuous.
Before the mighty figure had even fully approached, the expressions on the Green and Black Double Evil Couple had already changed.
Qing Sha’s usually smiling face had lost its mirth, becoming cautious and guarded.
Hei Sha, whose face was normally filled with frost and coldness, had also lost that iciness, inadvertently revealing a trace of weakness and ingratiating.
Tai Luo’s fierce gaze seed to diminish as if a dog suddenly clobbered on the head with a stick, a flicker of pain narrowing his eyes, his expression wary.
Dongfang Jian’s deanor beca stern and solemn as he took deep breaths.
Cheng Kun, on the other hand, lowered his head and dropped his gaze, not daring to observe too closely, only listening to the approaching footsteps to gauge their pace and distance.
Until Jiang Dali ca close, standing three zhang away and glaring at the five before him with a gaze sharp as a knife, imposing an extraordinary deterrence.
In his eyes, one of these five seed to emit a red glow of hostility that was unmistakably evident.
He was not unfamiliar with this scenario.
Many from the Martial World had co to seek alliance with him, and indeed, many had co with hostility.
He had even taken in so of these traitors, believed to have gone undetected, to achieve many of his goals.
"This Dongfang Jian from Tian Nan Sect actually bears hostility; haha, his defection is but a farce, rely an act. So perhaps Sky Wolf Venerable has his hand in this..."
Jiang Dali pondered in his heart.
He really couldn’t fathom what gave Sky Wolf Venerable the audacity to sche against him; did he have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard?
Although the opponent’s strength was not bad, it was at most on par with Ding Chunqiu; did he not fear being killed once discovered by him?
Despite such ponderings, Jiang Dali had no intention of slapping Dongfang Jian to death right then and there.
Sotis, a living traitor could be much more valuable than a dead one.
The five individuals endured the intense scrutiny of Jiang Dali’s gaze. Seeing that he only stared but did not speak, it was the rather slick Qing Sha who eventually opened the conversation with a beaming smile and a cupped fist.
"Qing Sha Ye An greets the village chief. Your fa, village chief, spreads far and wide, north and south of the great river, and both of us in the Green and Black Double Evil Couple admire you deeply. Thus, we have both co to join. We hope that you, village chief, will not disdain our modest abilities and accept us."
As he opened his mouth to speak.
Instantly, the other four also quickly followed suit, greeting him with extre politeness and tension.
Jiang Dali stood with his hands behind his back, casually surveying the five, "If you wish to join , I’ll have to see what you’re made of. Let weigh your true worth right now."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Jiang Dali, however, hung a smile on his lips, intending to test the strength of these individuals - not just to probe the imposter pretending to be Liang Kun, but also to press these five individuals.
If there were any among them who had hidden their hostility too deeply to reveal, it would co out during the action.
This was to be expected.
Jiang Dali never fully trusted anything other than his own mind, and that included his face.
So far, his face’s warning of red glows of hostility had not revealed any flaws.
But he always felt that if soone could hide their hostility deeply, like an Assassin who could conceal their intent even in the mont before a kill, perhaps his face might not detect any signs.
And among the five, Cheng Kun was such a person.
But these were only his guesses, not necessarily accurate. Seeing the five stunned, he waved his hand, "All co at together. If you cannot withstood even three moves or two styles from , then there’s no need to stay."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling sowhat embarrassed and agitated. They exchanged glances, and Dongfang Jian imdiately burst out with a shout, making his move.
Boom!
His figure leapt and dashed like a tiger, muscles on his back quivering, arms unfurling, and a surge of Dark Force erupted from his palms, sending an invisible wave of energy hurtling towards Jiang Dali.
At that sa mont, the Green and Black Double Killers charged in from both sides – one Palm Technique released a rolling green smoke laced with a formidable Evil Qi, the other a billowing black smoke filled with poison, as Jiang Dali was hemd in with no room to evade.
Tai Luo rolled on the ground, imdiately rolling to the rear and delivering a palm towards Jiang Dali, the palm wind carrying the scent of blood - it was the Famous Corrosive Bone Palm.
Cheng Kun’s movents were unpredictable, ready to move into the best position to strike with his Mixed Elent Thunderclap Hand.
The five struck with the swiftness of thunder and lightning, each taking up positions in four different directions, certain that Jiang Dali would inevitably be besieged by a Combined Force from the others no matter which direction he attempted to break through.
Although these five had never t before nor had they ever tead up, their temporary cooperation at this mont was seamless, swift, and fierce, leaving no room for their opponent to catch a breath.
"Very good! Let’s see what you’ve got," Jiang Dali said with an indifferent smile. He slightly raised and bent his arms, unleashing a robust and impregnable montum that suddenly and violently expanded into a brilliant golden aura!
Hum!!!!
The golden Qi Force collided with the palms of the four attackers, bursting forth with a series of loud and heart-stirring bell-like sounds.
The four felt as though their attacks had smashed against a vast, heavy golden bell!!
"Block!——"
The giant bell rotated, releasing a deafening explosion, and the golden bell protection vibrated slightly.
The four shouted in unison, feeling a violent tremble in their palms and an imnse force that sent them retreating several steps back!
In contrast, Jiang Dali’s expression remained unchanged, and his body stood firm and unmovable like a mountain.
Just then, Cheng Kun, swift and ghostlike, attacked from the side, seizing the montary dimness of the golden bell protection right after it had blocked the four attackers, and suddenly threw a punch.
Crack!——!
It was as if a sudden bolt of lightning from a clear sky exploded, his fist striking the golden bell protective body.
With a clang, the protective body shook.
Cheng Kun rapidly opened his palm, transforming it into a knife-hand strike, masculine and assertive, viciously slicing along the direction of the rotating golden bell protection.
Slash!——
The sound was akin to the grating noise of cutting through porcelain.
The golden bell protection finally dimd significantly.
"Not bad at all! This village chief will use a bit more strength!"
Jiang Dali said with a faint smile, realizing that Cheng Kun had concealed much of his power. He imdiately stopped bothering with defense, withdrew the golden bell protection, spread his arms, and swung them in an arc behind him, circulating the Yin Yang Qi within his body back and forth, before suddenly launching two continuous palm strikes.
Roar!——!
Two streams of Dragon-shaped Energy, one cold and the other intense, surged forward, blasting towards the four who were attacking anew as well as Cheng Kun.
"Not good!"
Hei Sha was at the forefront and quickly rolled away in a dodge, barely encountering the tail end of the Dragon-shaped Energy. She reluctantly activated the Black Evil Palm to et it, and with a grimace, her arm throbbed in near-severing pain.
"My turn!"
Qing Sha, Ye Anshi, shouted, and threw a punch with his right fist.
Clang clang!
On his right fist was a copper sleeve, attached by a soft cord. Using his Inner Strength, he launched it, flying a zhang away, and fiercely striking towards the back of Jiang Dali’s head.
However, Jiang Dali, as if having eyes on the back of his head, didn’t even look and casually pointed a finger from below upwards.
Ting! The copper sleeve was imdiately blown away by the burst of Qi Force from his Finger Force.
"Ah!——"
At that mont, Dongfang Jian narrowly avoided the Dragon-shaped Energy, leapt up, and, hanging in the air, slamd down with both palms targeting Jiang Dali’s Ren, Du, Chong, Dai ridians, and other vital acupoints.
Cheng Kun, however, rolled on the ground, his hands pecking like a bird’s beak, suddenly nodding his head as he viciously attacked Jiang Dali’s Yin Wei, Yang Wei, Yin Jiao, Yang Jiao ridians, unwittingly using the renowned Absolute Skill, the Illusion Yin Finger Technique.
"Hahaha, very good indeed!"
Jiang Dali instantly recognized the nuances in Cheng Kun’s technique and felt that his goal had been achieved.
He abruptly paused his steps, spreading the ground apart like a great plow, and with crossed palms, he snatched outwards.
Double Palm Dragon Capture!
Roar!!
From between the palms, an incredibly ferocious Absorption Force accompanied by the roaring of tendons and bones abruptly erupted.
Two dragon head energy illusions howled and spun out.
Dongfang Jian and Cheng Kun were both greatly shocked, feeling a sudden gust of wind against their faces and a terrifying sensation as if all the Inner Strength in their bodies was about to be ripped out, their bodies uncontrollably pulled towards Jiang Dali’s terrifying demon-like palms.
"Ahhhhhh——"
The two shouted, intending to unleash their full strength to resist.
Jiang Dali suddenly bellowed, "Co on over then!!"
He exerted a trendous force with his arms.
The two dragon heads instantly devoured and wrapped around the two n before fiercely flinging them.
In an instant, the two collided with each other.
Four sounds of rapid impact were heard as Dongfang Jian’s Palm Technique was drawn downward, while Cheng Kun’s Finger Technique was directed upward.
The two’s offensive maneuvers were inadvertently pulled together, clashing fiercely.
The malicious Corrosive Bone Palm collided with the venomous Illusion Yin Finger for the first ti.
Dongfang Jian and Cheng Kun imdiately let out a simultaneous scream, their faces turning as crimson as blood...
