Ti moved on ceaselessly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the Qingming Festival in April.
A whole half month had passed since the incident at Yanggong’s Treasure Vault.
The Martial World remained as turbulent as ever.
Evil King Shi Zhixuan had died at the hands of the Black Wind Village Chief, and Queen Yin Zhu Yu Yan had returned severely wounded, stirring so of the major powers within the Demon Sect into action.
Figures such as Demon Marshal Zhao Deyan and Demon Master Pang Ban all harbored ambitions to unify the Six Demonic Paths, setting off undercurrents of contention.
The Emperor of the Sui Kingdom was furious that Black Wind Village had seized Yanggong’s Treasure Vault, decreeing the extermination of all Black Wind Village mbers’ activities within the Sui Kingdom, even considering joining forces with Ming Country to launch a campaign against them.
However, this campaign, while ostensibly against Black Wind Village, was actually aid at Song Country, seeking to claim a share of the spoils from the encircling battles of Liao and Jin against Song.
Consequently, Song Country’s situation beca extrely perilous.
Impacted by this, Black Wind Village was harshly criticized by so officials within Song Country.
If it weren’t for the substantial help provided by the forces of Black Wind Village during the national conflict, they might have been easily dismissed.
In such circumstances, Jiang Dali did not imdiately return to the Mountain Village to grovel at the feet of the Song State Governnt.
Instead, he traveled far and wide, visiting famous mountains and great lakes, famous sects, eting experts in Sword Dao, discussing swordsmanship, and completing the second phase of the main mission "God of Intent."
This led to most players in the Martial World missing any sightings of Black Wind Village Chief, yet tales of his deeds spread far and wide.
On March 18, the Black Wind Village Chief ascended the Phoenix Mountain Range and t the once legendary Sword Dao figure of Sui Kingdom, Yue Shan.
After three strikes, he left the mountain. Yue Shan completely withdrew from the Martial World, presumably defeated by Heavenly Blade Song Que and then by Black Wind Village Chief, without the face to enter the Martial World again.
On March 23, the Black Wind Village Chief visited Divine Blade Hall and t with Hall Master "Divine Sword Invincible" Bai Tianyu.
Again, after three strikes, the Black Wind Village Chief left riding an eagle. Bai Tianyu’s na as Divine Sword Invincible was thoroughly shattered, and the main hall of Divine Blade Hall was left with a giant scar over ten ters long that almost split the grand hall in two, sending shivers down the spines of the disciples of Divine Blade Hall.
On March 27, the Black Wind Village Chief visited Blood Saber Sect and battled the Blood Saber Ancestor.
The entire Blood Saber Sect was on high alert.
This battle was witnessed by many players.
However, after three strikes, the infamous Blood Blade in the hands of Blood Saber Ancestor shattered, and he was defeated swiftly and decisively, causing the beliefs of over three thousand Blood Saber Sect players to collapse.
On March 30, the Black Wind Village Chief defeated the Golden Blade Master of the Golden Saber Sect in one strike...
With each battle record updated, players from the Eight Desolates on the Jianghu Forum were already boiling with excitent, proclaiming that Black Wind Village Chief was set on challenging Sword Dao experts across the world.
It left them wondering who the next Sword Dao expert to be sought out by the Black Wind Village Chief would be?
So self-proclaid famous Sword Dao experts in the Martial World felt threatened, yet so were also born with anticipation.
Although it wasn’t good to be targeted by the Black Wind Village Chief, and might even pose a risk to their lives,
wasn’t it also sad not to be targeted by him?
It would an not being acknowledged at all in the Sword Dao.
Thus, although the Golden Blade Master of the Golden Saber Sect had been defeated by the Black Wind Village Chief and suffered severe injuries from the Saber Qi, his defeat instead famously raised the reputation of the Golden Saber Sect.
After all, although the Golden Blade Master was a notable figure in the Martial World, he was still inferior compared to the Blood Saber Ancestor and Divine Sword Invincible Bai Tianyu.
Being targeted by the Black Wind Village Chief, despite being defeated in one strike, the Golden Blade Master strangely gained an honor comparable to the aforentioned Sword Dao masters.
Amid keen attention from Martial World people and players alike,
several days passed,
but no new tales of the Black Wind Village Chief challenging another Sword Dao expert erged.
No one even knew where he was.
Considering that it was nearing the Qingming Festival,
so players with wild imaginations suggested that the Black Wind Village Chief might have put down his sword to go back to his hotown for ancestor worship.
Perhaps, after finishing the worship, he would return to the Martial World and stir up a storm of bloodshed.
...
"Village Chief, in just half a month, you have challenged so many Sword Dao experts. So are weak in the Power Realm, so strong, but all possess exquisite Saber Skill and distinct Sword Intent. Yet, you still haven’t realized the Fourth Strike..."
"That’s because I haven’t encountered soone who could make use the Fourth Strike. Perhaps when such a person appears, I’ll be able to realize it."
In Qing Province, on a rugged and winding ancient road leading to the mountains, Jiang Dali walked and talked with Wang Yuyan and Murong Qingqing.
This rugged trail, perilous for ordinary people,
was like flat ground for the three of them.
The scenery on either side of the road was quiet and picturesque, making their journey seem like walking in a painting.
Murong Qingqing covered her mouth with a light laugh, "In this Martial World, those who can make you execute the Fourth Strike, Master Jiang, are probably very few. Ever since your battle with Heavenly Blade Song Que, and after reviewing ’Heavenly Blade Insights,’ not to ntion the daily discussions and improvents with Wang, your Sword Dao has completely taken shape.
I can feel that your Saber Skill and Sword Intent have reached an even more formidable level, becoming... becoming ticulous, which can be considered detailed in the crude..."
"ticulous in the crude..."
Jiang Dali walked with his hands behind his back, smiling and shaking his head at her words, "Though your description is coarse, it’s indeed the case.
Actually, the techniques of Saber Skill have beco less important to ; the variations co naturally within a swing or turn."
