Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1382 - 1061-1062: Crisis of the World Association, the Madman Who Toys With Life!
High above, wild winds roared.
The sea of clouds rose higher as the Demon Hawk ascended steadily, with mounds of cloud mass gathering to the south, growing thicker and thicker.
In an instant, the clouds transformed under the glow of the eastern sunset into a rose-colored palace, ceaselessly swirling.
Jiang Dali’s robust figure sat alone on the back of the Demon Hawk, with strong winds and floating clouds lifting his unruly, wild black long hair. The resilient strands whipped against his face, his rugged neck and solid back, as his pair of sharp, intimidating eyes focused on the black longsword in his hand.
The blade of this black longsword glistened under the faint dusk light.
The sword’s body was extremely long, with an oval-shaped guard and a sharp blade that had a notch.
This sword was the black Unrivaled, formerly the sword of Huangfu Jian, a predecessor to Sword Saint Dugu Jian of Unrivaled City.
When leaving Unrivaled City, Dugu Yifang gifted this sword to him as a symbol of the alliance between Black Wind Village and Unrivaled City, along with a young sword boy.
According to Dugu Yifang, the sword boy was a descendant of the Ming Family, protectors of Unrivaled City, named Ming Yue, with exceptional martial arts talent, truly a rare gem.
However, after Jiang Dali left Unrivaled City, he went south to search for another clue in the Mud Buddha’s prophetic words that could influence destiny, so how could he bring along a mere burden?
Therefore, even recognizing that the young sword boy Ming Yue was, as ancient texts recorded, the early love of Nie Feng, he still politely declined. He only made a verbal agreement with Dugu Yifang, arranging a child betrothal between Ming Yue and Nie Feng, as a meeting gift from him as an uncle to Little Nie Feng, better than his father who spent most of his life wandering around with even his wife leaving.
At this moment, he extended his hand, five fingers clasped the longsword, his fingers bulging with veins, muscles turning white, and the hard sword body instantly bent into an arc.
Then he released it suddenly, the sword tip sprang straight with a "snappy" sound, resonating with a "zing" as the sword tip vibrated continuously, echoing for a long time; the fierce Sword Intent burst forth from the sword tip, as if an unparalleled swordsman had drawn his blade, a momentum that struck fear into the heart.
"Good!"
Jiang Dali’s eyes shone as he looked at the black Unrivaled sword in his hand, nodding slightly, silently admiring that this sword was indeed worthy of being the sword of the first-generation Sword Saint Huangfu Jian.
Even though this sword was damaged in the battle between Huangfu Jian and the founder of the Ying Country’s Sword Saint, Liu Sheng Wuji, and reduced to a Third Grade Divine Weapon, the Sword Intent it could unleash was still enough to enhance a swordsman’s strength by at least fifty percent.
Dugu Yifang gifting this sword not only displayed great respect but also immense sincerity and friendship.
He had planned to bring this sword back and gift it to Wang Yuyan, replacing the somewhat outdated Imperial Sword in her hand, adding a stronger life-saving card for her.
"Unrivaled City has a deep foundation, even though up to now, only Dugu Jian remains among the supreme experts, rumors in the Martial World always say there is still a Martial Saint in Unrivaled City.
That Martial Saint’s renowned Absolute Skill "City Toppling Love" once shattered the void, an unparalleled legend in the Martial World, as esteemed as the "War God Chronicles".
Yet, after the Martial Saint went to the Holy Dynasty, there has been no return, possibly already dead?
Or trapped in some terrifying place in the Holy Dynasty, still unknown... otherwise, if the Martial Saint were still around, how could Xiong Ba of the World Association with Heavenly Destiny’s favor claim dominion?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Jiang Dali gazed at the treasured sword in his hand, lost in thought, then shook his head with a rueful smile, "Now, it seems my Black Wind Village is no different from Unrivaled City, with me alone on the level of the supreme expert.
Should the day come when I truly leave this world, Black Wind Village might also fade into insignificance in a few hundred years, reverting to a mere Inferior mountain bandit den, a place any Martial World hero can step on..."
With a "clang", Jiang Dali sheathed the sword, looked at the panel displaying the task "Return to Normal", triggered from Mud Buddha’s prophecy.
Among the three riddles in the task, two clues had already been completed.
The one about going to the feet to find a fateful wronged soul referred to Bai Suzhen, and heading east to find a dominant force indeed pointed to Unrivaled City, when he and Unrivaled City reached an alliance, this clue was marked as completed.
Now, only the last clue remained, to go south to find someone who shouldn’t exist...
As of now, Jiang Dali had no clues about this last one.
He had also thought that the person who shouldn’t exist might refer to Wu Ming, the past Martial Arts Legend, with no name, indifferent to the Martial World, supremely powerful, a heart dead as ashes, becoming someone who shouldn’t exist.
But Wu Ming’s Zhonghua Pavilion was not in the south.
Besides Wu Ming, other people connected to Xiong Ba who shouldn’t exist, Jiang Dali truly could not imagine them.
Now, he could only head south, trying his luck to find any clue through the telepathy of Thousand-mile Soul Lock.
At this point, his heart stirred slightly, looking at the plains below shrouded in clouds and mist, intermittently visible, tapping the Demon Hawk with the sword sheath, instructing it to glide at low altitude.
Now that Unrivaled City and Black Wind Village had decided to join forces to oppose the World Association, the official announcement would be completely publicized by tonight before sunset.
Jiang Dali would also, after the announcement, mobilize all available forces from Black Wind Village’s sub branches and all Eight Desolate Disciples in the Martial World, initiating an attack on the main and numerous sub altars of the World Association in the Divine Martial Country, launching the first battle against a hegemonic force, compelling Xiong Ba to show himself.
