Chapter 204: 0177: The downside of losing steam, Dongfang Bubai carries on (An extra 100 Chapters this month for the monthly ticket)

With a single-handed Dragon Capture, Jiang Dali failed to grasp as Yang Xu Yan used his Undying Seal Technique to steal away some of his strength at that critical moment; what diminished on one end grew on the other.

The sword light, cold as a venomous snake, twisted and writhed, and was about to pierce through Jiang Dali’s chest in an instant.

But in that split second, Jiang Dali decisively abandoned his blade, his left fingers forming a swift sword and swiftly striking.

Hiss Hiss—

His fingertips emitted an incredibly fierce sound of Qi Force breaking through the air.

The One Yang Finger Force exploded at his fingertips, colliding with the sword tip.

Clang!—

The twisted sword light instantly disintegrated, and the longsword in Yang Xu Yan’s hand bent at a frightening angle, a Qi Force as fierce as thunder and flame instantly penetrating into his arm.

"Uh!"

Yang Xu Yan grunted, his originally steady face turning pale in an instant. In that moment, his left hand struck at Jiang Dali with the speed of lightning.

Whoosh—

His palm almost instantly turned from white to red, then from red to black, exuding an incredibly evil and intimidating aura.

Black Hand Demon Technique!

In this strike, Jiang Dali’s eyes blazed with rage, no longer able to block with his limbs.

All he could do was watch helplessly as the palm viciously struck his chest.

"Urghhh!!"

In that instant, he roared furiously, his voice transforming into a dragon’s cry and a tiger’s roar, shaking the air violently, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to tremble fiercely.

His chest muscles bulged and suddenly tensed, making a sound like the friction of steel plates; the bones moved with a humming noise, like steel bars quivering.

A cyclone-like ferocious Qi stream formed into the image of a golden bell, suddenly appearing.

Bang! Crash!

The moment the Sun and Moon Golden Bell Shield appeared, it was instantly shattered and even more Qi Force was stolen by Yang Xu Yan using the Undying Seal Technique.

With a thud, the pitch-black palm embedded deep into Jiang Dali’s stern chest, almost branding it with a black palm print.

An astonishing damage number popped up above Jiang Dali’s head, capturing the shocked and elated eyes of the numerous nearby Players.

"-1231!"

"Shit, the Shadow Swordsman is too awesome!"

"The blood bar of the Black Wind Village Chief lost a chunk, he’s definitely done for this time!"

"Move in closer to push the BOSS, get ready to wedge in and snag the assist!"

However, in that very moment, Jiang Dali roared and circulated his energy, completely merging his Inner Qi from the Nine Yang Marrying Robe Divine Skill and entering a state of Destruction.

His entire body instantly became as rigid as real iron, his hair flying wildly.

A fierce Qi stream suddenly erupted like the raging sound of rivers, the powerful Qi wave directly knocking Yang Xu Yan’s palm away.

Yang Xu Yan grunted as if struck by electricity and hastily retreated. It felt as though his palm had been severely hit by a hot iron, an unbearable burning pain, and inside him, a frightening Qi like thunder and flames attacked, making his meridians feel as if they would burst apart inch by inch.

It was clearly he who had struck Jiang Dali.

Yet at this moment, the terrifying different species of Internal Qi inside Jiang Dali actually created a backlash, surging into his body and causing damage.

"Where do you think you’re going!!"

Jiang Dali’s eyes blazed as Yang Xu Yan’s retreating figure turned into an afterimage; his body moved like a ferocious wolf, causing the ground beneath to crack and shatter.

Only a residual image remained in place.

As his figure moved at high speed, the air around him trembled with the force of his arms suddenly forming a dangerous posture.

Left Rush!

Right Burst!

An incredibly dangerous and dominant aura, like boiling water, instantly rose and exploded from Jiang Dali’s body.

At that instant, the terrifying aura that surged and rose was like a sudden drop in atmospheric pressure, bearing down on everyone’s heart.

As Yang Xu Yan retreated in panic, his pupils constricted, seemingly triggering a terrible memory hidden deep in his mind, and his gaze became extremely grave.

The nearby Players, almost within fifty meters, were terrified to the point of wetting themselves, backing away in horror, and then they suddenly saw Jiang Dali roar and strike out with his palms.

A handful of majestic, overbearing, and terrifying golden palm power gathered and swelled, and then with Jiang Dali’s final two movements!

Strike up, Roar down!

Strike with the palm!

Bellow!!

A huge palm power, like an eight-clawed golden dragon, formed and thundered out from Jiang Dali’s hands, ferociously assailing everything in its path.

Dragon in the Field.

"Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"

Yang Xu Yan inhaled sharply, his figure flickered, rapidly deploying the Undying Seal Technique.

At that moment, a loud dragon’s cry accompanied the yellow dragon palm power that rushed forward, shaking the entire area with its ferocity!

Bang Bang Bang—

As it passed, the ground broke, and stones were thrown into the air.

Yang Xu Yan’s figure continuously flashed within the terrifying palm power, using the Illusion Demon Body Technique and the Undying Seal Technique like playing hide and seek with the golden dragon and darting past.

But he was still hit by the wide coverage of the horrifying palm power.

Boom!

In the face of this world’s most rigid and fierce Powerful Palm Force, Yang Xu Yan, fragile as a Swordsman, screamed as his body was struck by lightning; blood spurted from his seven orifices as he flew backward like a broken kite, crashing to the ground, but quickly contorting to leap up, nearly skimming the ground to disappear into the crowd.

And following closely behind, the formidable Dragon Subduing Palm power roared as it blasted through.

In a split second, a large group of Left Alliance Players screamed, vanishing in flashes of white light one after the other.

Yang Wei, the man disguised as Yang Lianting with a handsome beard, also got swept by the overwhelming palm power and let out a scream as his blood bar emptied, disappearing on the spot.

"Hu hu—Shadow Swordsman, now that I’ve caught you, just once, if it doesn’t kill you, it’ll skin you alive!"

Jiang Dali’s eyes burned with fury, his chest rose and fell like a bellows pulled violently, his muscular body drenched with sweat. His depletion of Inner Qi was too severe at this moment; he had begun to leak energy nonstop, and his limbs were starting to feel weak.

This was a very rare occurrence.

In so many previous battles, there had never been one like today’s, with such a severe consumption of Inner Qi. After breaking through to the fourth realm during the recent fight, his Inner Qi, which peaked at 6,600, was now barely over 700.

Dragon Subduing Twenty-Eight Palm, when used to its full capacity, was indeed powerful.

But its consumption of Inner Qi was truly horrific.

Now, it had led him into a dangerous state where the Nine Yang Divine Skill’s downside of energy leakage was severe.

Jiang Dali quickly exited the Destruction State and calmed his Inner Breath.

He pulled out a Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill, a priceless treasure he had acquired earlier in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s treasury, and rubbed off its wax coating.

Feeling the medicinal power rapidly dissolve under the nurturing of his Inner Qi, it spread through his body like a burning thread, clearing the blood congestion, stimulating the meridians, and even generating streams of Inner Qi.

His Qi-Blood and Inner Qi temporarily stabilized.

But Jiang Dali knew that this stability was only within the range of the medicine’s effect.

Once the medicinal effect wore off, the leakage of energy would likely continue.

His initial choice to merge the Marriage Dress, that is to know that before the Nine Yang Divine Skill reached Great Success and opened the meridians, it would be difficult to sustain against powerful enemies for long.

Once it went on too long, the downside of energy leakage would arise, hence he simply merged with the Marriage Dress Divine Skill, seeking to explore the extreme power of both Divine Skills in extreme explosive outbursts.

Such a choice considered that since it could not last before reaching Great Success, it should seek extremity in bursts, eliminating the need for sustained battle, and solving the fight in a flash.

But such an extreme also undoubtedly posed a great hidden danger.

If he encountered a tough opponent and wasn’t careful, he could be dragged into a prolonged battle and begin leaking energy.

Feeling that his Qi-Blood and Inner Qi were temporarily stable.

Jiang Dali glanced at the few surviving Players who were scattering quickly, too lazy to chase after them.

He turned his head to look at the other side where Dongfang Bubai was half-kneeling on the ground, his gaze fixed on this direction.

Jiang Dali’s eyelids twitched slightly and, with a cold snort, he grabbed the Golden Back Big Ring Saber and strode over to Dongfang Bubai, clad in red like blood, pointing with his saber, "Laozi went through so much trouble to rescue you, and now you’re coming with me, you agree or not?"

Blood oozed from the corners of Dongfang Bubai’s mouth, his beautiful eyes examining Jiang Dali from head to toe.

With multiple deep wounds on his body, visible to the bone, and dreadful toxins raging within, all his Sunflower True Qi were consumed in resisting the toxins, truly leaving him at barely a tenth of his strength. Unavoidably staring at Jiang Dali, he let out a light laugh, filled with an eerie androgynous voice.

"Everyone has betrayed me, but you, a stranger of a hero, are willing to save me. Aren’t you afraid of me?"

Jiang Dali’s eyes showed impatience as he barked, "Quiet down, do I have anything to fear from you the way you are now? Are you coming or not?"

"Hehehehe..."

Dongfang Bubai wasn’t angered by the scolding, but found it amusing instead, and started to chuckle lightly, his proud brows slightly raised without a word, only nodding his head slightly, and retracting the hidden silver needles into his sleeves.

"Huh?" Jiang Dali questioned suspiciously, "You nod but don’t speak. Do you agree or not? Those who have learned the Sunflower Treasure Book are indeed a pain in the ass!"

Suddenly, he felt a slight trembling on his interface.

"Mission ’Choice’ completed.

You successfully repelled the Shadow Swordsman Yang Xu Yan, rescuing Dongfang Bubai. You have earned 3,000 reputation in the martial world, 1,000 Cultivation Points, 1,000 Potential Points, 200 favoriability with Dongfang Bubai, and 300 favoribility with the Sun and Moon Divine Sect."

"Dongfang Bubai’s favor toward you has reached the Friendly level."

"The Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s favor toward you has reached the Esteemed level."

"It seems Dongfang Bubai has agreed, but this reward is too little..." Jiang Dali muttered to himself with dissatisfaction, snorting coldly and roughly grabbing Dongfang Bubai’s injured shoulder.

Amid the pain-induced furrowing of brows, Jiang Dali straight up hoisted the biggest spoils of battle, not quite human or demon, onto his shoulder, and swiftly moved to the bodies of Ren Woxing and others with his saber in hand.

A few players from the left alliance were still watching from a distance, hoping to loot the bodies after Jiang Dali had left.

But now they were all dumbstruck watching the mighty Black Wind Village Chief hoist Dongfang Bubai onto his shoulder and start looting the corpses skillfully.

"Shit! Black Wind Village Chief is evolving too fast, right? He’s not leaving any opportunities for us players."

...

"Damn! Being an NPC really shouldn’t be so Black Wind Village Chief, this game is just too hard to play; even the BOSS competes with us for looting corpses."

...

"After all, he’s the first NPC in Mixed Martial Arts World to start recruiting players, his thinking has already surpassed that of other NPC natives and is very avant-garde. It seems he has drawn some beneficial conclusions from our players’ daily habits."

...

"Stop the pointless gabbing. Even if it were other NPCs, facing the corpses of Ren Woxing and those other BOSSes, they would know to search them, right? What a shame, I wonder if the Absorption Star Technique will drop?"

The surviving players from the left alliance discussed this as they quickly retreated, not daring to stay any longer.

Now it seems after the battle, Black Wind Village Chief didn’t face any setbacks; his blood bar, which had dropped by a quarter before, was now quickly recovering. If he were to really go after them, they’d be utterly devastated.

Blocking the Resurrection Point is, after all, Black Wind Village Chief’s special skill.

He had done it many times before.

Many freshly resurrected players from the nearby City God Temple, almost the instant they revived, disregarded their weakened state, and fled the temple, heading towards the surrounding forests to hide, all too aware of the terror of Black Wind Village Chief.

However, Jiang Dali only looted the bodies of Ren Woxing and the others for a while, before hoisting up Dongfang Bubai and quickly mounting the arriving Demon Hawk, soaring away.

Right now, he had yet to solve his energy leakage problem, and he was wary of possible other experts from the Heavenly Demon Sect coming to cause trouble, so it was wiser to leave first.

Although the left alliance bunch was loathsome, this time they were pretty much like peaches he had completely picked, suffering a massive loss.

And he, with Dongfang Bubai on his shoulder and the items he had just looted, was the greatest gain of this trip...
