Chapter 37: 039: Three Shadows Sword

It wasn’t long before a video that captured the attention of many appeared on the Jianghu Forum.

The title, "In the martial world, there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens," was particularly eye-catching.

This video naturally came from the trio known as Lang Ji Hongchen.

The video was divided into two parts.

The first part showed the trio being effortlessly slaughtered by the mysterious swordsman as they intruded into the bamboo forest.

The second part was of Jiang Dali, dressed in Green Clothes and wearing a conical hat, arriving on horseback, entering the forest, and then with a domineering backhand palm strike, fiercely driving back the mysterious swordsman.

These two clips formed a stark contrast in power, igniting heated discussions among countless players.

Compared to the mysterious swordsman, the players at this time were like ants, easily slaughtered with a mere flick.

But the vast Martial World clearly still harbored many more potent than the mysterious swordsman, with the latterly appearing mysterious expert being one of them.

In fact, over these past few days, players from all over have witnessed the actions of martial arts experts, some of which were shared on the Jianghu Forum.

An enthusiast known as "All-Knowing" even compiled two lists based on clips of these high-level experts in action.

One was the Dragon and Tiger List.

The other was the list of famous families.

Those who made it onto the Dragon and Tiger List were all imposing NPC characters that had appeared on the Jianghu Forum recently.

Those who entered the list of famous families were NPC characters who had gained notoriety by causing several major incidents recently.

Jiang Dali, frequently active in the sight of players, also made it onto both the Dragon and Tiger List and the list of famous families.

However, on the Dragon and Tiger List, he ranked lower, at the 37th position out of 43 listed, just slightly better than Dou Dajin at 38th.

The top rank on the Dragon and Tiger List was held by Lu Xiaofeng of Spirit Rhinoceros’ Finger, who had appeared in Hui Prefecture recently and demonstrated his abilities.

As for the list of famous families, Jiang Dali’s notoriety from causing many significant incidents placed him temporarily in the seventh spot.

Regarding these two lists drummed up by the player All-Knowing, Jiang Dali was naturally aware.

But he didn’t pay much attention to it.

His current strength, compared to the summit of the Mixed Martial Arts World’s giants like the Sweeping Monk, Qiao Feng, Li Xunhuan, Ye Gucheng, Dongfang Bubai, and others, was still quite lacking.

Right now, he was considered an expert by the players, but that might change after some time.

Nevertheless, his strength was continuously and rapidly improving, and he was confident that he would eventually surpass those before him.

Now, within the headquarters of the Qingyi Building, the bamboo house, Jiang Dali met for the first time the lady behind the screen.

Previously, Jiang Dali had visited the bamboo house multiple times, always conversing with the lady from behind the screen.

This time, however, he got his first glimpse of the master of the Qingyi Building headquarters.

She too was dressed in a green robe, her face veiled, but her demeanor was spirited and her figure lithe, exuding an oddly palpable sense of strength, as though ready to draw a sword and strike at any moment.

"Do you wish to be promoted to a Bronze Medal Killer? With your current strength, it’s almost within reach."

The woman sat beside a guqin, her beautiful eyes calm and cool as she looked at Jiang Dali, "According to the rules, to be promoted to a Bronze Medal Killer, you must complete ten Iron Word Tasks, or one Copper Task. You’ve only completed four Iron Word Tasks, so are you planning to tackle a Copper Task directly now?"

Jiang Dali met her gaze with an even look, concise in his reply, "That’s right."

The woman nodded slightly and then shook her head, "Unfortunately, there aren’t any appropriate copper tasks recently.

However, there is an opportunity now for you to be promoted directly to a Silver Medal Killer like myself.

A traitor has emerged from our Qingyi Building, and he has now fled to the Hui Prefecture. We need him dealt with.

Originally, I would have handled this task personally, but if you can take my place and kill him, you will be promoted to a Silver Medal Killer, as this task is classified as a Silver Task.

However, in my opinion, the strength of this traitor doesn’t pose a threat worthy of a Silver Task. It is only due to the grave implications of the matter, as he knows some of our Qingyi Building’s secrets, that the task is rated higher. With your strength, while there’s risk, there is also an opportunity."

"Oh?"

Jiang Dali’s eyes shifted slightly as, at this moment, a task prompt also popped up on his panel.

"You have triggered a task, ’Deal with the Qingyi Building Traitor’."

"Task Requirement: Kill the traitor assassin, Three Shadows Sword Liu Yegui."

"Task Difficulty: Class B."

"Task Reward: Promote to a Silver Medal Killer of Qingyi Building, increase Qingyi Building contributions by 100, Cultivation Points by 100, Potential Points by 200, and reputation in the martial world by 100."

"Will you accept?"

"A Class B task... The difficulty isn’t too preposterous, I might as well give it a shot."

Jiang Dali contemplated after seeing the mission information.

Actually, a task of B-level difficulty was considered very high, but, since it was a mission that could directly promote one to Silver Medal Killer, the difficulty standard wasn’t too outrageous; there was indeed hope for completion.

One must know that the task he dealt with Du Dajin was of Class A, Level D, higher than the difficulty of this task.

Even though he wasn’t as strong then as he is now, which influenced the grading standard of the task.

But no matter how one compares, the strength of this traitor, Three Shadows Sword Liu Yegui, even if strong, shouldn’t surpass Du Dajin.

In that case, even if he couldn’t kill his adversary, the chance of retreating unscathed was still attainable.

"I accept this task," Jiang Dali said to the woman.

"Good, you’re courageous!"

The woman stood up and walked to a desk nearby, took out a bundle of information wrapped in yellow paper, and tossed it to Jiang Dali.

"This contains his situation information; it records his recent whereabouts."

...

Three Shadows Sword in the vast Martial World could only be considered a minor character.

However, to have a title in the Martial World meant that at least once he had made a certain reputation for himself in a region or a faction.

As a veteran Bronze Medal Killer of Qingyi Building, Three Shadows Sword Liu Yegui had completed 15 assassination tasks, each time successfully eliminating the target. This indicated not only that he possessed considerable strength but also a keener mind and more cautiousness than the average person.

And when such a person chose to defect, that was when he became even more dangerous.

At this time, Three Shadows Sword was like a lone wolf that had left its pack, hiding in dark corners with great caution, and any threat to him would be preemptively strangled or avoided.

However, it wasn’t just one wolf that made a wolf pack fearsome, but the whole pack.

And it wasn’t just one assassin that made Qingyi Building formidable, but the entire organization.

Therefore, when Qingyi Building sets out to handle a traitor, an endless stream of assassins would rush to eliminate the turncoat, with incredibly precise intelligence making it impossible for the traitor to escape.

One day later.

At sunset.

In an old and dilapidated earth deity temple in Hui State New Moon City.

Several rag-clad beggars lay or sat scattered inside the temple, reeking.

Some were napping, some were nibbling on unidentifiable food, and some were focused on carving a piece of wood while leaning against the temple’s pillars.

One of the beggars looked at the one engrossed in carving and said with a laugh, "Wood, your craftsmanship makes it neither human nor ghost-like; I think you should just give up, becoming a carpenter is not in your cards. If you really don’t want to wander the streets begging for food, why not join the World Association? They’ve been recruiting people all over the place lately."

The carving beggar ignored him and kept stubbornly chiseling away.

The speaking beggar shook his head with a smirk and tucked his hands into his sleeves, quieting down.

Suddenly, the carving beggar’s rough hand holding the knife paused, and he abruptly looked up towards the temple’s entrance.

A tall, imposing figure seemed to have appeared out of thin air, abruptly standing in the doorway.

Green Clothes.

Wide-brimmed Hat.

At that moment, the atmosphere within the whole earth deity temple seemed to freeze...
