Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1380 - 1060: I Only Wish to Witness the Ultimate Sword Twenty-Three!

"Big brother!"

Dugu Yifang, looking shocked, approached the Sword Saint who had been forced back.

With his strength, although not as powerful as Jiang Dali or the Sword Saint, he was well aware that the seemingly equal bout just now had Jiang Dali slightly in the lead.

After all, the Sword Saint had exerted his full strength, while Jiang Dali had not yet done so.

Such a shocking battle result was what startled Dugu Yifang, making him reconsider Jiang Dali’s position as the Black Wind Village Chief in his mind.

And having his most proud sword skill, the Twenty-two Sword, so easily countered by an opponent of similar youth was rather melancholy and frustrating for the Sword Saint, bringing to mind the unbearable memories of his past defeat at the hands of Wu Ming. His martial spirit diminished once again.

He suddenly felt overwhelmed by fortuity, and everything seemed dull and tasteless.

"Truly the waves behind on the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the sand."

Dugu Jian ignored Dugu Yifang, sighed with lament, and clasped his fists toward Jiang Dali, shaking his head, "Your ability to withstand my Holy Spirit Sword Technique Twenty-two Sword proves I have lost. The future of this Martial World truly belongs to you young people. I, the so-called Sword Saint, am unworthy of speaking on behalf of Unrivaled City. You said to give Unrivaled City twenty percent of the profits, so let it be twenty percent."

"Big brother!"

Dugu Yifang was both anxious and helpless, thinking to himself that his big brother really had no regard for anything other than the sword.

The Black Wind Village Chief just said that as long as he emerged, he could get half the profits. Yet now, the proud Dugu Jian refused with shame, which was truly foolish.

"Why belittle yourself, Senior Dugu? In fact, it’s not that your Holy Spirit Sword Technique isn’t powerful enough; it’s just that this move happens to be ineffective against me today."

Jiang Dali chuckled softly, then, in front of the two, took a light breath, transmitting energy with his hands to the major acupoints on his chest. With an internal energy transmission, he expelled the Sword Qi blocked by Vajra True Qi from his meridians, transforming it into a Blood Arrow that shot out of his body.

"Crack!—"

The hard marble floor was pierced with a deep, smooth sword hole by the blood arrow expelled by Jiang Dali.

This scene looked shocking, but in reality, it was not the power of the blood itself but the intense Sword Qi mixed within that made it potent.

By expelling this blood mixed with Sword Qi, he effectively eliminated the danger.

Aside from a lingering slight stinging sensation in his meridians, there was no internal injury or stagnant blood.

Jiang Dali looked at the blood flowing from the hole in the ground and felt the fiery sensation in his lungs fade, the sword wound on his chest no longer bleeding as his muscles contracted.

What he said was indeed true.

The Twenty-two Sword unleashed by the Sword Saint was not insufficiently powerful; it was simply ineffective against him now.

During the most perilous moment after the Twenty-two Sword was unleashed, it was when the Sword Intent locked onto and invaded the spirit.

In that state, if one couldn’t instantly dissipate that intense Sword Intent, not only would their Primordial Spirit suffer severe damage, but their body would also be penetrated by Sword Qi, leading to certain death.

How difficult would it be to instantaneously dissolve the intense Sword Intent gathered by the complete Primordial Spirit of such a powerful swordsman like the Sword Saint?

Jiang Dali had only managed it after breaking through to the Returning to Truth realm and further integrating the Supreme Mysterious Scripture to create the Primordial God Secret Skill known as the "Spirit Cage." This allowed him to quickly set up a mental world with his Primordial Spirit, trapping the Sword Intent and calmly dissolving it before countering the ensuing powerful Sword Qi.

Even so, he was still injured by the Sword Qi.

Perhaps, for another Returning to Truth realm expert, even if they avoided the damage to their Primordial Spirit from the Sword Intent, they couldn’t escape being harmed by the Sword Qi piercing through their body.

Because not all Returning to Truth experts are proficient in such a formidable Primordial God Secret Skill like the "Spirit Cage." Even Jiang Dali, if he had merely broken through to the Returning to Truth realm without learning this Martial Art, would have had to rely on the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body to avoid greater harm.

Seeing Jiang Dali expel the Sword Qi so effortlessly, Dugu Jian realized that although this young man was of tender age, his Inner Strength was so profound that it could not be measured by his years.

Moreover, in his speech, he wasn’t as arrogant and domineering as the Martial World had claimed. Dugu Jian nodded with admiration and said, "Brother Jiang has a deep cultivation; you don’t need to console me or call me Senior. In the Martial World, strength is respected, and those who reach it are teachers.

For you to withstand my Twenty-two Sword, you are more than qualified to be my equal. Calling me a senior only brings me more shame." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Alright."

Jiang Dali readily agreed, his eyes brightened, "Since you consider me Jiang Dali qualified to be your equal, then I also dare to offer some advice. Would you be willing to listen?"

"Oh?"

Dugu Jian was taken aback.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t hesitate to cut them down with a sword for such arrogance.

But the young man before him, despite his age, had the demeanor of a hero and his depth of skill was unfathomable. Even someone as proud as Dugu Jian couldn’t help but feel a little admiration and awe. He was actually quite curious to hear what surprising insights this young man might offer.

"As the saying goes, disciples are not necessarily inferior to their teachers, nor are teachers necessarily superior to their disciples. Since Brother Jiang, you have high insights, just speak your mind. I, Dugu Jian, am not an obstinate or arrogant person."

"Good!"

Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed; with the fragmentary records about Dugu Jian found in ancient texts and his deep understanding of Martial Arts, he began to eloquently explain, "The Twenty-two Sword you unleashed towards me previously, though utilizing the full force of your Primordial Spirit to lock onto mine, forcing me to divide my mind and resist your Sword Intent, in the end, you still held back some Heart Power in initiating the Sword Qi, resulting in some reservation with that Twenty-two Sword."
