Chapter 252: 214-215: South Sea Strange Book attracts Xiang Shuai, Luoyang Branch (5 additional Chapters for Alliance Hierarch’s extended sleep)

"You clashed with the domineering sword’s Sword Intent and Saber Qi at the brink of life and death, and in that moment, you came to comprehend the Big Freehand Compassionate Blade Intent of the domineering sword. Your understanding of the Sword Dao has deepened, and the ’Tiger Evil Golden Ring Saber’ has improved, reaching the Realm of Returning to Nature."

"You have gained insight into your own Sword Dao skills—the Great Strength Saber Intent—under the principle that all arts share a common origin. Your understanding of Sword Intent has deepened. Your self-created Sword Dao has earned the title ’Sword Dao Genius.’ Now, learning any saber skill, you’ll be able to do so with half the effort, creating your own system, and integrating the sword skills for your own use."

Two prompt messages appeared on the panel.

At the same time, slight changes occurred to his attribute template.

Jiang Dali, seeing this, felt exhilarated.

He reflected on every insight gained during the battle regarding saber techniques and breaking through with Sword Intent and Saber Qi, and felt that he indeed had to applaud himself.

"This trip was worthwhile. A life-or-death battle with the domineering sword has yielded considerable rewards. Before, my forte was only fist and foot skills, while my saber skills were just mediocre.

But now, my understanding of the Sword Dao has deepened, and the path I should take is clearer...

In the future, when learning any saber skill, I will be able to discern the essence within moments, making them my own with my understanding of the Dao, rather than blindly following the paths of others."

Jiang Dali looked at the golden light knife in his hand, which felt icy to the touch. "However, my Great Strength Saber Intent was inspired by the domineering sword’s Big Freehand Compassionate Blade. It too is an attack that goes all out, concentrating all of my body’s strength in one powerful slash.

Therefore, such a Powerful Slash can’t be used frequently—it must be kept as a trump card for unexpected moments. This means my golden light knife will be even harder to draw at will, hahaha."

Looking at the now-buried domineering sword in the pit, he casually used the Dragon Capturing Hand to grab a large amount of soil and bury the notorious swordsman.

Although the domineering sword was old, he was once a first-class expert in the Martial World.

Jiang Dali knew that if not for his weakened, aged body, which made obvious flaws in his Big Freehand Compassionate Blade, he wouldn’t have survived the man’s attack.

To not endure meant death, to endure would bring enlightenment about Sword Intent. The domineering sword’s life-burning strike clearly also meant to help him, hoping he would seek Gui Hai Yidao, but if he couldn’t handle that strike, it also meant he didn’t deserve the opportunity.

Susu—

Just then, Jiang Dali suddenly heard several whistling sounds of garments tearing through the wind approaching.

However, before the people could get close, Dongfang Bubai’s arms flicked seemingly slow but fast, casually releasing several silver needles.

There were sudden grunts and screams in the night.

With a flick of Dongfang Bubai’s fingers, several red threads twisted around them, and with a casual motion, the silver needles previously embedded in the enemies’ bodies began to rotate.

Screams and groans erupted one after the other.

"It’s Dongfang Bubai!"

"Run! Let’s get out of here!"

With a hiss, some sound burst forth.

Several figures that had come to probe quickly removed the silver needles from their flesh and promptly fled.

The red thread flashed.

Several silver needles returned, bringing Blood Pearls with them.

Jiang Dali chuckled. "That doesn’t seem like your style. If it was before, these people wouldn’t have escaped so easily just by digging out some flesh. With those silver needles in their bodies, you could easily shatter their heart channels."

Dongfang Bubai raised an eyebrow, his eyes coldly clear. "It seems you did not notice."

"What?"

Jiang Dali was surprised.

Dongfang Bubai indifferently said, "Today, Luoyang City is very lively. Many experts have arrived. I haven’t fully recovered my Essence Qi, and I prefer not to attract too much attention."

"Oh? So you mean, you can sense the Qi Mechanism of a large range of strong individuals? Could this be the state after breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm?" Jiang Dali suddenly came to a realization.

Dongfang Bubai neither confirmed nor denied, "You’ll naturally understand when you break through to this realm."

"Haha, it’s not impossible."

Jiang Dali confidently sheathed the golden knife and looked at the wounds on his body, which had almost fully healed under the effects of the medicine and the Nine Yang Marrying Robe Divine Skill. He casually tore off his tattered shirt and then looked up at the sky, a long howl escaped his lips.

In an instant, the Demon Hawk dived down with a loud screech, stirring up a fierce wind.

Jiang Dali glanced at Wang Yuyan, who was trussed and unconscious in the seat behind, and with a smile, he leaped up to untie the bindings and deftly changed her into a set of clothes from his pack.

Afterward, he lifted her from the Demon Hawk’s back and turned to Dongfang Bubai, "Let’s go. Since Luoyang City is so busy today, I’m even less inclined to leave just yet. Let’s join in on the excitement before we depart."

Dongfang Bubai had no objections and followed Jiang Dali out of the yard.

Along the way, Jiang Dali quietly opened the Jianghu Forum, looking up the Luoyang City section to find out what had happened recently.

Several posts caught his eye.

"The Daughter of Nanhai Qisou has appeared in Luoyang, reportedly with the South Sea Sect’s world-best Martial Arts, the South Sea Strange Book?"

"A large number of Martial Artists have surfaced in Luoyang, many bearing titles of fatal danger—truly fearsome!"

"Xiang Shuai shockingly appeared in Luoyang, said to be after the Daughter of Nanhai Qisou."

Seeing these popular threads at the top of the player comments, Jiang Dali was puzzled and frozen for a moment.

He knew of Xiang Shuai, which was certainly referring to Chu Liu Xiang.

But the South Sea Sect...

A brief contemplation and he also recalled the details about the South Sea Sect.

The South Sea Sect, also known as the South Sea Sword Sect or Hainan Sword Sect, is located on Devil Island in the midst of the South Sea, famous for its unpredictable moves and known across the world for its mastery in fists, palms, and swords.

Many notable figures have come from this sect, including the South Sea Crocodile God Yue Laosan, the Sea Dragon God Long Xiaotian, the Flying Fish Swordsman Yu Xuan, the Hainan Swordsman Li Pingzi, the South Sea Strange Old Man, the South Sea Double Demons, and so on. Even the least capable among them could be considered skilled hands in the Martial World.
