Chapter 1780 - 1376: Five Fingers—Not a Single One Can Be Missing!
Escape!
The farther the better!
Once my strength is restored, I’ll find a way to seek revenge!
He has usually disguised himself as an ordinary farmer named Zhang Wu, proving that he indeed harbors fear.
As soon as the thought of fleeing arose, his Primordial Spirit decisively emerged from the ancestral acupoint on his brow, plummeting towards the ground.
Yet, just as his Primordial Spirit emerged, an incredibly powerful Primordial Spirit Power exploded from the front side, resembling a massive net that suddenly ensnared his Primordial Spirit.
"You old undead!"
Xiao Jingtian’s angry roar accompanied the powerful collision of two Primordial Spirits, erupting mightily, causing his Primordial Spirit to shudder with immense fear, leaving his mind blank.
It’s over!
This sudden blockade led Xiao Jingtian’s Primordial Spirit to miss the best opportunity to escape.
"Boom!"
Jiang Dali’s formidable Primordial Spirit Power followed immediately, transforming into surging waves that violently impacted Xiao Jingtian’s Primordial Spirit.
Both at the Returning to Truth Realm level, Jiang Dali’s Primordial Spirit Power retained nearly seventy percent, while Xiao Jingtian retained less than thirty percent, and his Life Chart was suppressed by Jiang Dali’s Heaven-defying Destiny Chart.
The intense Primordial Spirit Shock Wave instantly jolted his Primordial Spirit into a near-disperse state.
"Master Jiang! Have mercy! Don’t kill your nephew."
Xiao Sanxiao urgently shouted, a spiritual wave quickly rushing to protect his kin.
Jiang Dali, witnessing the Primordial Spirit Light, akin to a drifting Kongming Lantern, saw Xiao Jingtian’s blood bar drop to just the last tenth, realizing the opponent was fully unconscious, various thoughts crossed his mind. Ultimately, he chose to relent, reaching out and fiercely grasping the air.
"Clang!"
The Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber turned into a crimson fire line, slicing through the night sky, falling into Jiang Dali’s hand. The Breaking Realm Pearl on the saber’s hilt hummed vibrantly, emitting sinister golden light, resembling a giant cat’s eye locked onto the weak, unconscious Primordial Spirit of Xiao Jingtian, devouring it in an instant.
Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
A severe sense of exhaustion from excessive force consumption washed over him, marking the end of the Love Devotion for Seven Lifetimes state, and his Qi-Blood began rapidly dropping in a backlash state.
He immediately exited the Love Devotion for Seven Lifetimes state, his crimson face returning to normal, though somewhat pale, glancing at the other side where the battle had mostly ended, promptly withdrawing from the Divine Demon Golden Body state.
As the remaining Inner Strength quickly retreated to the Dantian, the power of Mahavira rapidly diminished.
Intense waves of pain emanated from his chest.
Jiang Dali only felt his breath laced with fiery agony, his lungs seemingly aflame.
During the battle, his Body was in an extreme excited State, rendering him immune to the pain.
Now the battle had ended, with adrenaline dissipating, the pain at the wound became particularly pronounced.
He looked down to examine the gruesome wound near his heart on the left chest.
Finding the once bone-deep wound had partially healed thanks to the power of Mahavira and the Divine Demon Golden Body.
The once visible beating heart and perforated lung now had thin layers of flesh growing from the ’Blood Cave,’ tendrils resembling knotted steel wrapping around the innermost heart and lung, making them difficult to see.
He sensed a persistent problem with a chest bone regrowing in the flesh.
Due to violent movement during the healing process, the bones misaligned causing a bone spur to pierce into the lung, resulting in a fiery pain in what should have been a healed lung wound.
"This recovery speed is troublesome! The bones grew randomly without proper alignment, resulting in deformities."
Jiang Dali took a deep breath, his eyes filled with decisive determination, suddenly biting his teeth and extending his hand.
His fingers resolutely and precisely pierced through the thinly grown flesh, forcibly probing into the Blood Cave, pulling out the bone spur from his lung with a straightforward Return to Normal move, snapping off the malformed spur with a firm twist. "Clang" went the sound as the tip broke.
A spurt of fresh blood instantly gushed from the wound.
The severe pain made even someone as determined as Jiang Dali feel a wave of dizziness, nearly losing his balance and collapsing to the ground.
"Huff, huff, huff—"
He panted heavily, withdrawing his blood-soaked fingers, sweat beads as large as soybeans emerging all over him, blending with the blood spraying from his chest, resembling pale red garnets rolling over his stacked robust physique.
"The injury’s too severe; almost had my heart pierced, barely fortunate it only was the lung!"
Jiang Dali coughed out the blood spittle stuck in his throat, the blood bar above his head with nearly two million oscillating again, immediately forming the Inner Lion Seal with his hands, shouting: "Be!"
The Essence Qi left in the Dantian, which was only forty percent, exploded along the meridians, transforming into an invisible and mysterious aura like the shadow of the word "person," fleeting in an instant.
Moments later, his blood bar gradually and completely stabilized, staying at the level of over 1.4 million Qi-Blood, no longer continuing to drop.
The Essence Qi quickly recovered to about sixty percent along with the state of the Inner Lion Seal’s sealing.
"Hide!"
At that moment, Xiao Sanxiao’s figure also leaped with an extraordinary movement technique, carrying the unconscious Xiao Aoshi, whose major acupoints had been sealed.
"Well done!"
Xiao Sanxiao laughed heartily, ’bang’ as he threw Xiao Aoshi to the ground, reaching out to grab the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber from Jiang Dali’s hand, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for helping this old man capture this rebellious son."
"Hmm?"
Jiang Dali’s face stiffened, withdrew the saber, and looked sideways at Xiao Sanxiao, who had missed his grab, sternly stopping him, "Although I willingly wanted to help you, originally I had no enmity with them, yet for your sake, I exerted such great effort and got seriously injured. You can’t just expect me to exert myself so easily, can you?"
Xiao Sanxiao’s smile froze on his face, a look of astonishment as he looked up at Jiang Dali, who towered like an iron pillar and exuded an oppressive momentum.
His body continued to emit an eerie and inexplicable intimidating aura. His bronze skin glistened with dazzling sheen, and each massive muscle seemed to harbor the most terrifying power in the world. The deep chest wound from earlier, exposing the bone, was now rapidly healing under the intermingling of Yin Yang Qi, essentially worry-free.
With such injuries, can he truly claim to be gravely injured?
How does he feel this fearsome young power still capable of launching another fierce fight!
While grumbling internally, Xiao Sanxiao understood this robber leader, who rose to power by hijacking carriages, was merely seeking benefits. Given the opponent’s current strength, what could attract him could only be...
"Don’t worry. You’ve exerted great effort; naturally, I won’t let you suffer losses either."
Xiao Sanxiao crossed his hands behind his back, chuckling kindly, "What do you want? Is it the secret manuals of my Four Extremes of Chaos, or the secret techniques of the Ten Thousand Paths? Or perhaps the Dragon Turtle Essence Blood? Although my martial arts are precious, it’s not impossible to impart them to you. But the Dragon Turtle Essence Blood..."
"I’m not interested in any of these."
Jiang Dali interrupted Xiao Sanxiao’s words directly, causing his face to stiffen awkwardly and surprising him.
"You’re not interested in any of these? Honestly, I can’t think of anything else that might pique your interest. Do you want this old man, at my age, to have a daughter to become your future Village Chief’s Wife?"
"You’re not young, and yet your imagination is quite rich."
Jiang Dali snorted lightly, suddenly reaching out to capture, with Dragon Capturing Skill, a golden light grabbing Xiao Aoshi’s clothes, tying it around his exposed waist, then leisurely saying under Xiao Sanxiao’s strange gaze, "I’m only interested in the technique you used for Shattering Void earlier. If you demonstrate it for me another ten or eight times, then we’re even for me helping you this time."
"You brat, that’s not just opening the lion’s mouth wide; you’re asking for this old man’s life!"
Xiao Sanxiao nearly choked, blowing his beard glaringly, "You saw earlier, borrowing the power of heaven and earth requires significant consumption of one’s Essence Qi, Spirit, and Vitality. Demonstrating ten or eight times? Even two consecutive attempts are very taxing, harming Essence Qi. This old man still wishes to live a few more years."
Jiang Dali frowned, "You’ve probably lived long enough, so afraid of dying? Ten or eight times isn’t possible, then make it six. You said you could demonstrate it twice in succession; demonstrating it six times within a month shouldn’t be an issue, right?"
"No way!" Xiao Sanxiao felt his Qi-Blood easily rising in front of Jiang Dali, angrily jumping, "At most three times."
Jiang Dali extended a hand, five stout fingers waved, speaking in an undeniable tone, "Look at my five fingers; missing one is unacceptable. It’s like your two sons; losing one is also unacceptable."
Xiao Sanxiao’s expression froze, feeling teeth-aching anger.
How many years has it been since anyone dared speak to him in such a menacing tone?
Doesn’t unleash the old tortoise’s fury—think he’s just a turtle?
Xiao Sanxiao took several deep breaths, weighing the situation before long exhaling a breath, glared hatefully at Jiang Dali, reluctantly agreed, "As an elder, this old man won’t bicker with you, the junior. Five times then, but even demonstrating five times, you surely won’t master it.
Hmph, throughout history, the experts at the ninth level of the Returning to Truth Realm, though numerous, aren’t that few. So many people sought to understand the secrets of Breaking Realm, even borrowing its power. How many truly succeeded? Hmph hmph hmph——"
At the end of his speech, Xiao Sanxiao couldn’t help but laugh smugly, finding some solace in dampening Jiang Dali’s spirits.
Jiang Dali sneered, crossing his arms proudly, "The talents of this village leader are exceptional, incomparable to those mediocrities. You need only demonstrate five times, and this village leader will easily master it."
After speaking, he suddenly realized his arms felt empty as if missing something hanging at his chest.
"Dharma’s Heart!"
Jiang Dali’s expression changed, immediately looking towards the area where Dharma’s Heart was previously expelled, leaping over.
Upon seeing a sieve flashing silver light lying quietly in a deep pit, he breathed a sigh of relief but suddenly realized something wasn’t right...
