Chapter 360: 0295: The Treasure Sword is Not Old, The Spirit Snake Sword is Unearthed (Guaranteed Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

Jiang Dali, despite unleashing the Heavenly Dragon Seven Forms to chase, still couldn’t close the distance in a short time.

Suddenly, he heard the faint rumble of river water ahead, and Jiang Dali immediately thought that was not good.

Clearly, the opponent must have planned the escape route beforehand.

Once the opponent entered the river, even with the help of Demon Hawk, it would be nearly impossible to catch him.

Sure enough, after crossing over a mountain ridge, the opponent burst out laughing, "No need to send me off," and suddenly leaped, crashing into the raging river below.

A few moments later.

Jiang Dali swiftly dashed and thumped down, his eyebrows furrowed as he coldly stared at the tumultuous waters of the Ta River below.

Such a river rolling endlessly on, where could he possibly find the opponent’s submerged figure?

With the opponent’s power, even diving in the water, he could forcefully hold his breath for a short half-hour without difficulty, by which time who knows where he could have dived to.

He turned to look at the Demon Hawk circling in the sky.

Demon Hawk shrieked in response but obviously could not determine which direction the opponent had gone after diving into the water.

"It’s no wonder he is Qiao Feng’s father, truly a veteran blade still sharp, alas..."

Jiang Dali gazed at the river below and sighed, fully aware that catching Xiao Yuanshan so easily would simply be a fool’s dream.

To even draw out the opponent and briefly engage in combat was already a valuable achievement.

Reflecting on the brief combat.

Clearly, Xiao Yuanshan still had been holding back; the Shaolin Kasaya Subduing Demons Skill only slightly revealed at the beginning, and thereafter, the Martial Arts displayed were unheard of.

Particularly that unpredictable whip technique, which easily broke through his Powerful Slash with a twist.

The previous light display of such a whip technique should have been at Juxian Manor when he used a rope to fend off a multitude of warriors and effortlessly rescued Qiao Feng.

If there had been a real struggle, the opponent, with full power, might have been capable of battling him head-on.

But the opponent clearly had various considerations and was reluctant to reveal too much.

His decision to engage this time was likely attracted by a deliberately created atmosphere of "I’ve noticed you," prompting him to emerge and probe.

But it was merely a probe, and the caution and restraint displayed by the opponent were beyond that of ordinary people, truly worthy of an Old Turtle who could endure for decades.

"Such a character, plus a Murong Bo and Qiao Feng, yet in the future, they are far from being a match for that Shaolin Sweeping Monk; just how formidable is the Shaolin Sweeping Monk?"

Jiang Dali stood on the cliff’s edge, overlooking the river below, his mind drifting to the prowess of the Sweeping Monk.

For a moment, he felt his own strength, though deemed supreme within a territory and disdaining of all warriors, when considered across the whole Mixed Martial Arts, what did it count for? He still needed to strive harder, otherwise, he would merely be like Xiao Yuanshan.

Gathering his thoughts, Jiang Dali let out a long howl to call the Demon Hawk.

Demon Hawk swooped down.

He then stepped into the void.

With a roaring cry, the sound of a dragon’s growl resounded.

His robust figure landed steadily on the back of Demon Hawk, taking a seat on the famously known Ice Soul Jade Throne, discerned the direction, and galloped away.

...

Half a day later.

The cliffs of Hua Mountain.

Demon Hawk appeared here, overlooking the scenery below the cliffs.

"Hey! Back so soon? I’ve already found the cave you talked about, hahaha, look what this is? Hurry and pull me up, will you?"

In the valley below the cliffs, Kou Zhong, waving a treasure sword, looked up at Jiang Dali riding the Demon Hawk in midair and laughed heartily.

"It’s no wonder they are the Shuanglong; their Qi Fortune is truly astonishing. In less than two days from my departure and return, he has already found the Youluan Cave for me."

Jiang Dali witnessed the treasure sword held by Kou Zhong below, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up in satisfaction.

He immediately made Demon Hawk descend.

From afar, Kou Zhong glimpsed Jiang Dali, whom he hadn’t seen for just a day or two, seemingly possessing an aura even more terrifying and intimidating than before.

He seemed like a tiger lazily licking its fur in the bushes, temporarily retracting its claws and teeth. But the unsettling Evil Qi that occasionally escaped made one’s hair stand on end and one’s heart tighten.

"My goodness, the Black Wind Village Chief’s strength is already so fearful, how has it seemed to grow even stronger this time? His rate of power increase is much faster than mine and Mr. Ling’s.

If this continues, Mr. Ling and I will probably find it very hard to escape this man’s clutches."

Kou Zhong, looking graver, watched Jiang Dali dismount from Demon Hawk and approach like a Vajra, bearing an oppressive presence. He immediately stepped forward and offered the treasure sword in his hand, suppressing his nervousness with a smile.

"Look, this is the treasure I found in the cave you mentioned. There was also a very beautiful bird in that cave, but it is very fierce. It’s almost as big as your eagle and can peck and scratch people if they get too close."

Jiang Dali casually took the oddly shaped, twisted serpentine longsword handed by Kou Zhong.

The longsword was exceptionally sharp, emitting a "sizzle" sound when casually swung in the air, slicing through the air with fierce sharpness all around, like a Spirit Snake slithering and hissing, extraordinary indeed.

Jiang Dali examined it closely.

"[Spirit Snake Sword]

Level: 2nd-grade famous weapon

Weight: 23 jin, 5 taels, 3 qian

Damage: 45~57

Description: The treasure sword of Master Wuxiang, the former Sect Leader of Wuxiang Sect. Agile and sharp, possessing extremely strong killing power, it is indeed a rare treasure in the Martial World."

"A fine Spirit Snake Sword, truly a 2nd-grade famous weapon."

Jiang Dali nodded slightly, yet he did not feel too delighted.

Although the sword’s damage was much higher than the Golden Nine-Ring Blade, it was still just a sword and not his preferred weapon. Moreover, it was too light to wield effectively, more for show than utility for him.

"Hehehe, how about it? This treasure sword is a rare treasure I found inside that cave. Since I found such a good treasure for you, would you consider letting Mr. Ling and me go?"

Seeing that Jiang Dali looked pleased, Kou Zhong immediately took advantage of the moment to curry favor.

Jiang Dali spoke indifferently, "Apart from the sword, there’s also a purple Phoenix Head Jade Hairpin, a piece of Ink Jade, and a secret manual of ’Wuxiang Divine Skill’. Are you not planning to hand them over to me?"

"Hmm?"

Jiang Dali raised his eyebrows, his eyes glowing coldly as he scanned Kou Zhong, who suddenly stiffened.

"How do you know about those things?" Kou Zhong couldn’t help but blurt out.

Jiang Dali scoffed and stood with his hands behind his back, flicking his fingers mysteriously, "If I didn’t know about these things, would I have sent you to find them for me?"

Kou Zhong instantly paled, recalling the scenes he encountered after entering the cave. The cave was clearly a relic left many years ago. It was difficult for the Martial World people to even hear rumors of it, let alone know the specifics of what was inside.

Yet Jiang Dali was aware of every detail, making Kou Zhong feel even more that Jiang Dali’s aura was profoundly unfathomable and exceedingly alarming, far beyond any common mountain bandit leader, even more than his stand-in father, Du Fuwei.

Falling into the clutches of such a person in control, how easy would it be to break free?

"What are you thinking? Perhaps still contemplating how to play tricks on me?" Jiang Dali’s cold snort came across.

Kou Zhong tensed up inside, exhaled, and said with a forced smile, "Ah, actually, I was indeed going to hand over those things to you. I wanted to give the Village Chief a surprise, so I didn’t bring them out all at once.

Village Chief, you are truly sharp and wise, seeing through my little tricks at a glance."
