Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 982 - 780: Stone Carved Dragon Pillar, Is Your Qilin Mad Blood Acting Up?
Ch-ch-ch——
The blade of the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber dragged across the ground, leaving a clear mark on the ruined surface.
Jiang Dali Guangyue stepped on the sharp stones that pricked people’s feet.
The thick and sturdy soles crushed the stones.
"Plop, plop," step by step, he walked into the dim hall with only a bit of external light filtering in, and at a glance saw Zhu Wushi, who now looked as if his life was hanging by a thread, his face ashen, and fell silent for a moment.
"Why did you choose to act at the last minute? Was it because you didn’t want to be controlled by Xiong Ba?"
The voice echoed in the vast and deep hall, causing some dust to fall quietly.
"Hehehe... hehehe... success, failure, winners, losers, once I set foot on this path, I, Zhu Wushi, was already resigned to my fate."
Zhu Wushi lay facing the sky with a low laugh, his old face now gaunt as a demon, veins crisscrossed under his skin, eyes bloodshot, and all his black hair had turned white, yet his eyes were peculiarly bright, so bright they were almost glaring.
Jiang Dali felt his Qi Mechanism, instantly realizing that Zhu Wushi was beyond medical help, his once abundant True Qi was rapidly draining, all his meridians shattered, his Dantian destroyed, and once the True Qi was completely gone, it would be the moment of his demise.
Even if he used a medicine pearl containing thousand-year-old yellow ginseng juice to treat him, it was unlikely to save him, and he wouldn’t do that anyway.
"Brother Jiang, I wanted to prove that my path was feasible, but alas, alas, with my current useless body, it’s difficult to complete my journey..."
Zhu Wushi gasped, his face showing a tragic smile, trembling as he twisted his head, barely seeing with the corner of his eyes the shadow of Jiang Dali’s burly figure cast on the ground, envious, "I also wish I had such a strong, burly, and gifted body like yours, then... perhaps I could withstand Heaven’s Anger’s backlash, and I could succeed. Unfortunately, even now that I realize my mistake, it’s already too late, too late."
Jiang Dali frowned, pondering, "You have cultivated the Absorption Skill to an unprecedented level, unheard of in the vast Martial World. With this alone, you should have a place as the Iron Gall Divine Constable Zhu Wushi, yet I am also puzzled.
If you intended to absorb a Divine Weapon, why choose Heaven’s Anger?
Judging by your tone, you should understand the backlash characteristic of Heaven’s Anger. Though the world’s Divine Weapons are few, with your capabilities, you should have been able to obtain others."
"Hehehe... Brother Jiang, your eye power is truly extraordinary."
Zhu Wushi laughed lowly, blood frothing from his mouth, "This is the flaw of the Absorption Skill in its final stage. The idea to absorb and devour a Divine Weapon occurred to me when I saw Wei Jinzhong holding Heaven’s Anger.
At that moment, I felt Heaven’s Anger was meant to be mine, my destined Divine Weapon, most aligned with me.
From the moment I held Heaven’s Anger, the thought of absorbing and devouring it naturally arose, and I improved the Cultivation Technique accordingly.
If it were another Divine Weapon, I still can’t absorb it, and even if I could absorb other Divine Weapons in the future, it should be absorbed with Heaven’s Anger as the carrier... So, after absorbing Heaven’s Anger to control it better, I disregarded the opposition of the military and used the Absorption Skill to devour over two thousand prisoners, refining their essence with Heaven’s Anger’s Power, thus gaining my current pure power."
Zhu Wushi paused, shaking his head bleakly, "Alas... With the crown comes responsibility, using Heaven’s Anger’s power means taking on the risk of its backlash. From the moment I was backfired, I knew it was too late, one wrong step and I lost everything. If only there was another chance... if there were..."
"There won’t be," Jiang Dali said plainly, pointing the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber at Zhu Wushi.
Zhu Wushi laughed, "Of course there won’t be. In my current state, even I wouldn’t give myself another chance. Brother Jiang, I hope those you sent to rescue Prince Yan and Imperial Grandson Yun succeed. Otherwise, the Old Zhu Family may end with me.
Also, remember your promise to find the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom and revive Suxin, or I will haunt you even as a ghost."
"Hmm!?"
Jiang Dali suddenly sensed something was off, darting away like lightning.
Boom!
Zhu Wushi’s body suddenly exploded violently, scattering into pieces of flesh and a cloud of blood mist.
Jiang Dali immediately stopped, a single-arm shake dispersing a Golden Bell Qi Shield to repel the flying flesh and blood mist.
Hua-Paa—Sizzle!
Pieces of flesh rained on the ground, filling the entire hall with an overwhelming smell of blood.
Simultaneously, it seemed as if a dragon’s mournful cry, inaudible to others, echoed through the hall amid the bloody storm.
Jiang Dali’s eyes abruptly turned towards the empty space. In the air, which others could hardly perceive with the naked eye, a shimmering rain of golden Dragon Energy floated and undulated, suddenly converging into a majestic, noble golden dragon phantom, flickering its whiskers, poised to soar into the sky.
"Trying to escape?!"
Jiang Dali let out a furious roar, his foot stomping down as he leapt with the elegance of a horse across a stream, planting the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber into the ground, spreading his arms wide to unleash the Absorption Skill.
Boom!—!
Two fierce whirlwinds of Absorption Force erupted from his palms, binding the golden dragon formed from the golden Dragon Energy attempting to fly away.
"Roar!!"
Jiang Dali immediately felt his spirit filled with the wrathful roar of a dragon. Under the strong Absorption Force emitted, the golden dragon struggled and twisted frantically, nearly escaping the range of the absorption, even drawing out his own Dragon Energy, eager to depart his body.
"This Dragon Energy recognizes people? It didn’t resist when Zhu Wushi absorbed it, but it’s defiant with me? Even if Zhu Wushi’s Absorption Skill is stronger than mine, with a bloodline of the Zhu family, the difference shouldn’t be this vast!"
Stunned, Jiang Dali promptly restrained his own Dragon Energy, exiting the state of the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body to conserve True Qi, amplifying the absorbing power radiating from his hands, cursing under his breath.
"A forced melon is not sweet, but today, I’ll force it!"
Jiang Dali steeled himself, planting a steadfast stance, channeling his cultivation with all his might. Instantly, the stone bricks and flesh on the ground began to rise in chaos, dust swirling upwards.
"Roar!!"
Vigorous Dragon Energy struggled mightily, suddenly dispersing into a swirling mass, dashing left and right to break free from the absorption forces.
Jiang Dali’s forehead beaded with sweat, the dense slabs of muscle across his body writhing and trembling, feeling like it was more strenuous than tug-of-war against three hundred strong men, his teeth grinding loudly.
Then, a notion struck him, glancing abruptly towards the Breaking Realm Pearl embedded on the hilt of the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber on the ground, suddenly raising his foot to kick out at it.
"Break the bead! Hurry up and absorb for me!"
Bang!
The Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber was stabbed into the ground, unmoving. The Breaking Realm Pearl faintly emitted a yellow glow before quickly fading away, showing no inclination to absorb as it usually did, as if it were already full.
"Dammit!"
Jiang Dali was sweating anxiously. He stretched out his foot, and his big toe and second toe suddenly opened, clamping onto the saber’s handle. The Qilin bloodline within him instantly boiled, and a burst of True Qi coursed through his Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian to the Yongquan acupoint and then to the Da Dun acupoint at the toenail root of his big toe, infusing into the saber.
"Move for me!"
With a forceful exertion of his two toes, the tendon muscles bulged as he directly lifted and swung the 340-plus-pound Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber with just those two toes!
Buzz!!——
The Breaking Realm Pearl immediately reacted along with the burning flame saber patterns on the saber’s blade, emitting a powerful absorbing force that swept toward the massive, nearly escaping Dragon Energy from the Left Rush and Right Burst.
Boom!——
The Dragon Energy immediately churned and rolled back, unable to resist the suction from the Breaking Realm Pearl, being swiftly absorbed into it.
"Good!!"
Jiang Dali exclaimed in delight, instinctively slowing his own Absorption Skill’s power, letting the Breaking Realm Pearl absorb all the Dragon Energy.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, a change occurred. The majority of the Dragon Energy, just about to be absorbed into the Breaking Realm Pearl, suddenly exploded as if breaking free from its bonds, splitting into two strands that darted toward the stone carved dragon pillars on both sides.
This abrupt change caught Jiang Dali completely off guard. He blinked, and the remaining Dragon Energy had already disappeared into the stone pillars on either side, vanishing without a trace.
"Damn!!"
Jiang Dali quickly grabbed the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber, swiftly stepped toward one of the stone carved dragon pillars, and slapped a palm onto it, unleashing a fierce absorbing force from his palm.
"Come out!!"
Boom boom——
The dust on the stone carved dragon pillar was all sucked up, but the Dragon Energy that had burrowed inside showed no sign of being drawn out.
Jiang Dali attempted to activate the Breaking Realm Pearl again, but this time, even it had no effect, unable to extract the Dragon Energy that had penetrated the dragon pillar.
He immediately turned to look at the other dragon pillar and continued to try, with the same result.
Such a dramatic result made Jiang Dali want to jump and curse. He did not expect that the Dragon Energy he had almost in hand had escaped, with only a small portion absorbed into the Breaking Realm Pearl.
At this moment, a prompt appeared on the panel.
"You have forced a large amount of Ming Royal Family’s Dragon Energy into the stone carved dragon pillar. As the initiator and witness, you are very aware that the stone carved dragon pillars contain bountiful Dragon Energy. There is a resonance between the Dragon Energy inside you and the Dragon Energy within the stone carved dragon pillar. Once Dragon Energy settles in an object capable of containing it, without a True Dragon emerging to attract it, it will not easily move about or wander."
"Hmm? Not easily move about or wander? This is somewhat similar to the Red Book Iron Certificate I once acquired."
Jiang Dali felt something, placing his palm on the stone carved dragon pillar, beginning to investigate.
A prompt immediately appeared on the panel.
"[Stone Carved Dragon Pillar]
Category: Ming Country Palace Royal Buildings
Weight: 3150 jin 8 liang 6 qian
Material: Heavenly Blue Ink Jade
Description: A building within the Ming Royal Family, the entire structure is sculpted with a dragon entwined around the pillar, and across the top lies a beautiful cloud board, resembling clouds entering the skies. On the top is a Dew Plate with a squatting beast named Hou, which enjoys gazing. It is known for prosperity, nobility, and integrity.
Effect: This dragon pillar has been infused with a significant amount of Ming Royal Family’s Dragon Energy by Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali, making it extremely valuable. Its material will undergo subtle changes under the permeation of Dragon Energy, and placing it nearby daily can reduce three calamities. Positioning it within power can enhance that power’s Qi Fortune by 3500 points, granting the power the aura of the Long Teng.
Note: (Non-Ming Royal Family or those without great Qi Fortune cannot own this item. Otherwise, not only will they face beheading as a severe punishment, but they will also face great calamity; this is not something ordinary people can possess.)."
"Good heavens!!"
Jiang Dali’s eyes sparkled as he examined the carved cloud dragon on the dragon pillar’s surface, his gaze growing more and more fervent.
"Hahaha, as the village chief, I can’t leave empty-handed after coming here. Even if the Dragon Energy hides, I’ll still take both pillars back!"
Without hesitation, he embraced the pillar with both arms, exhaling with a sound as his entire body muscled up as if blocks of mountainous stone, and the veins under his skin writhed like worms.
"Rise!!!"
Jiang Dali roared fiercely, temple veins throbbing, with his arm muscles bulging like steel bars with thick outlines, body hair standing up like needles.
Crack!!
The ground bricks suddenly lifted and shattered, the stone carved dragon pillar violently trembling, gradually pulling free of the ground as the roof beams tilted and shook, dust and wood chips falling down.
Just then, Nie Renwang, who had entered the hall with a flourish and killing intent, was taken aback, staring in shock at Jiang Dali, who raised the pillar. Nie Renwang inhaled slowly, exclaiming, "Brother, has the Qilin Mad Blood within you also gone wild?"
