Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1124 - 886: The Gap! Yidao’s Limit! (Monthly Ticket Bonus)
Humans are a very mysterious species.
The way of writing the character for "person" is quite simple; just a stroke to the left and another to the right, and it takes shape. But the human itself is far more complex than this simple writing, far from something that can be summarized by just a stroke to the left and another to the right, especially in terms of emotions and various feelings, humans are much richer than any other creature.
When Jiang Dali saw Ping Shengaoqi, he knew this person had changed.
He still remembered when he discovered this person during the Shaolin contest, that beneath their seemingly cold exterior was a deeply hidden flamboyant attribute, quietly clenching their fist in excitement due to the surrounding players’ adoration, occasionally taking out a bronze mirror to fix the hairstyle messed up by the wind...
Of course, in Jiang Dali’s view, these actions were still external. The real change was the impression and feeling this person gave him now.
"Feeling," this is another very subtle word.
When a person has feelings, they can describe their "feelings" through words, and thus language gains significance.
But some feelings cannot be accurately described by language.
Jiang Dali could only say that now Ping Shengaoqi had become similar to players like Ting Shui, Little Knife, and those Ancient Color Strange People, who truly developed emotions and self-understanding for this world, and this understanding had elevated to a new insight about the martial arts learned by oneself, no longer confined to the pale player panel.
"I never expected Li Xunhuan to appear at Huo Family Manor, and I never expected him to die at the hands of Xiong Ba in the end."
After listening to Ping Shengaoqi narrate the entire incident, Jiang Dali nodded slightly, eyes revealing a strange light, and said, "You saw with your own eyes that Xiong Ba was injured under that blow from Li Xunhuan?"
No wonder he asked such a question.
Because being now in the Heavenly Human 9th Realm with Three Flowers already condensed, he was very aware of how immense the gap between the Heavenly Human Realms was.
And even though the Heavenly Human Realm still remains such, Xiong Ba was already in the Returning Essence Realm, a whole other level of power. Although Little Li’s Flying Knife was mythic, it was only within the Heavenly Human 7th Realm’s strength, he might not even be able to harm him, much less Xiong Ba.
Faced with Jiang Dali’s doubt, Ping Shengaoqi felt a surge of grievance and anger inexplicably rise in his sorrowful heart, just feeling the blaze jump in his chest, heart sour, tingling, and bitter, filled with hidden waves of sadness, gritting his teeth said.
"Xiong Ba indeed got hurt, Little Li’s Flying Knife never misses. No one can be intact under such a knife, not even Xiong Ba."
Jiang Dali gave Ping Shengaoqi a deep look, his palm rubbing the smooth armrest of the chair, nose smelling the scent of aquatic grass from the water bank, calmly said, "What is the proof?"
He really already half-believed it from seeing Ping Shengaoqi like this.
But his heart was more curious.
The mythical Little Li’s Flying Knife, what kind of magic and secrets does it hold, that suddenly caused such a change in a heartless player, the last life-or-death battle between Li Xunhuan and Xiong Ba, Little Li’s Flying Knife henceforth became a rare echo in the martial world, how splendid and tragic must it have been?
He wanted to see!
But some words, he also couldn’t be too explicit with Ping Shengaoqi.
Players all liked recording some famous NPC battles, don’t they?
Maybe Ping Shengaoqi already recorded a video.
Though this kind of information couldn’t be directly provided by the other party, nor could he directly ask for it, yet probably after he questioned like this, the other party’s subconscious would get a "reminder," knowing to post the video on the forum, right?
"Proof!...Proof..."
Ping Shengaoqi’s eyes seemed to burst with sparks, lips trembled a few times, like being stuck by a strong cold wind, after a while, he clasped his fists to Jiang Dali and said.
"My master is already dead! He wounded Xiong Ba, there is no proof. But I think, Little Li’s Flying Knife injuring someone needs no proof! If the village chief requires it, I dare to demonstrate!"
"Impudent! When the village chief thinks proof is necessary, proof is what is needed, where is your logic dictating otherwise?"
The accompanying Qing Sha was startled, immediately gave a low shout, hurriedly made eyes at Ping Shengaoqi, not understanding why Ping Shengaoqi dared to even rhetorically question the village chief.
Yet, after Ping Shengaoqi mustered the courage then, suddenly felt that kind of fearless state when facing Xiong Ba in Huo Family Manor came back again.
The panel also gave a reminder at this time.
"Your Heart Realm conforms to the True Meaning of Little Li’s Flying Knife, the level of True Meaning of Little Li’s Flying Knife you comprehended has increased by 1 level, currently True Meaning state level 2. Little Li’s Flying Knife Level 2 True Meaning (Special·No Knife is Better Than a Knife): Level 2 damage: increases the strike damage of Little Li’s Flying Knife secret technique by 40 percent;
Level 2 Three Elements Return to One: burns self spirit, forcibly condenses spirit into one knife, effect depends on the strength of self spirit;
Level 2 Ignore Defense: to an enemy stronger by one realm, 2 percent chance, causing ignore defense damage."
"True Meaning..."
All the anxiety and shrinking in Ping Shengaoqi’s heart disappeared, eyes firm and bright gazing at Jiang Dali, wanting to prove the myth of Little Li’s Flying Knife to the village chief.
He knew well, that even though he comprehended the true meaning of Little Li’s Flying Knife, with his strength he certainly couldn’t pose any threat to the village chief, nor was it even possible to harm the village chief, but he still wanted to let the village chief know—Little Li’s Flying Knife truly had the potential to let the weak overcome the strong, because it was a knife representing miracles after all.
"Good!"
Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed with a trace of amazement, seeing before him this player, must have obtained something from Li Xunhuan, thus wanting to prove it to him.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any need to look at Little Li’s Flying Knife, as it was called before the other party.
He nodded slightly and said, "Even I, the village chief, haven’t sparred with you Abnormal People for a long time. Since you are so confident, let’s see how much you’ve improved."
"Thank you, Village Chief!"
Ping Shengaoqi’s eyes gleamed brightly as he slowly retreated, his gaze locked onto Jiang Dali, who sat imposingly on the chair without any defensive posture, looking for the right moment to strike.
At this moment, his mind was filled with the last teachings Li Xunhuan gave him before his death — "Little Li’s Flying Knife, its strength has never been the knife itself... hence, any iron can be a flying knife... even without a knife, there’s victory!"
All those around, whether Xiao Feng, Lu Xiaofeng, or the Mountain Village Players surrounding them, all focused their eyes on Ping Shengaoqi and Jiang Dali.
Everyone knew this should be a duel without suspense, even if Jiang Dali was just sitting there with no real intention of making a move, Ping Shengaoqi was bound to lose.
But as one of the handful of top-tier players among the current ones, and one of the top ten experts among the players in Black Wind Village, the surrounding players still wanted to know just how big the gap between such top players and the Village Chief’s top NPC would be, and whether they could knock off 100 Qi-Blood from the Village Chief.
Different from the player’s expectations, Xiao Feng and the others noticed the unusual traits of this Abnormal Person as Ping Shengaoqi retreated step by step, all revealing surprise and admiration.
Every step Ping Shengaoqi stepped back, his every ounce of energy was completely conserved, not missing a fraction. By the time he was five meters away from Jiang Dali, his entire spirit was raised to an unprecedented peak, his gaze sharp as electricity, focused on Jiang Dali as he suddenly halted.
Now was the moment to draw the knife.
However, Ping Shengaoqi’s hand in his sleeve seemed frozen and couldn’t draw the knife at all.
Because at this moment, although Jiang Dali was sitting there calmly and quietly, seemingly with flaws all over, akin to a grand mountain, none of it appeared to be anything significant, not a flaw at all, even including the realm of spirit, utterly impeccable.
This situation was almost identical to when Li Xunhuan battled Xiong Ba,
Jiang Dali was like rolling dense dark clouds, piling on consistently. Just sitting there peacefully, his formidable Qi Mechanism firmly wrapped around everything, even threatening to collapse the momentum Ping Shengaoqi had climbed to its peak.
Back then, when Li Xunhuan faced Xiong Ba, was it not just like this?
If the bride Yunong hadn’t burst out of the bridal chamber to create an opportunity, would even Little Li’s Flying Knife have no chance to strike?
"No!"
"Impossible!"
"It can’t be like this!"
Ping Shengaoqi’s face turned red, breathing heavily, but the hands hidden in his sleeves remained as still as iron. Tears streamed down his face, glistening in the moonlight.
He was continually seeking opportunities, yet where was his chance?
For a top expert like Jiang Dali, physical defense is merely a low-level means. The defense of the spirit is even more essential.
In the battle of experts, the focus is on the spirit.
As long as the mind stands firm and reveals not the slightest flaw or negligence, there is no vulnerability, even causing the opponent to feel mentally defeated.
At this moment, Ping Shengaoqi was experiencing this feeling, even his blood bar above his head began showing a bizarre blood drop situation, making some surrounding players gape in disbelief, puzzled as to why the Village Chief merely sat there doing nothing, and yet Ping Shengaoqi, after withdrawing five meters, just stood there blood dropping.
Could this be the gap between top NPCs and top players?
The Village Chief just sat there, not moving, could merely glaring kill top players like Ping Shengaoqi?
"Ah!"
Amidst everyone’s shock, Jiang Dali suddenly sighed, without any hint of disappointment, but rather pleased, his eyelids drooping slightly, and said, "White poplars mourn the winds, rustling and sorrowing people to death... I understand now."
No one knew what he understood, but his sudden sighing was tantamount to a slight emotional fluctuation, proactively revealing a flaw in his spirit, as if there appeared a slight crack in the whole Essence Qi Spirit.
Ping Shengaoqi knew what Jiang Dali understood, his tears only increased because he knew the Village Chief was giving him an opportunity, allowing him to strike. This didn’t make him excited or happy but rather saddened because it showed he indeed had a long road to walk, but—
Swish!—
He still seized this rare opportunity and suddenly struck with a knife in his left hand.
Whiz—!
This was a knife propelled to its utmost limit by Essence Qi Spirit, also a knife secretly aligned with the True Meaning of Xiao Li’s Flying Knife.
A flying knife issued was Essence Qi Spirit fully united, and this was the true Little Li’s Flying Knife, unconcerned with quality, not bound by the knife, only emphasizing the spirit, thus mythical, thus immortal...
