Chapter 379: 0311: The Covetous Glance of the Power Gang, A Place of Interests (Extra Chapter 21 for Monthly Ticket)

"The waves of Jianghu rise again, who shall be deemed a hero?"

"Lingjiu Palace’s Tianshan Tonglao is thunderous with rage, summoning the experts of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-two Islands to Yunzhou to take down the Black Wind Village Chief!"

"Is Black Wind Village finally going to clash with a significant sect force?"

"It is said that Tianshan Tonglao has lived nearly a hundred years and possesses a terrifying rejuvenation Miracle Technique, with a power that may span nearly two sixty-year cycles; the Black Wind Village Chief has really kicked an iron plate this time."

"I have an ominous premonition. Everyone is favoring Tianshan Tonglao, so why do I instead have a better feeling about the Black Wind Village Chief?"

With Tianshan Tonglao’s call to arms from Lingjiu Palace, the Jianghu Forum instantly became bustling.

Many players of Lingjiu Palace posted about Tong Lao’s marshaling of forces to prepare for the attack on Wuliang Mountain, attracting countless Martial World players to spectate.

Meanwhile, the Black Wind Village players were at the forefront of the action, rushing to the hot forum threads to watch the developments unfold, and even some with more volatile temperaments started slugging it out with the Lingjiu Palace players on the spot.

Thus, even before the battle in Mixed Martial Arts World had begun, the Black Wind Village players were already berating the Lingjiu Palace players relentlessly on the Jianghu Forum, decidedly gaining the upper hand and leaving their opponents nearly shut down.

All the popular threads were swiftly conquered by the active Black Wind Village players.

Any Lingjiu Palace player who dared show up would be certainly greeted by dozens of Black Wind Village players ready to "welcome and tend to" them.

This phenomenon once again made all players witness the unity and "strength in numbers" of Black Wind Village players, secretly admiring how worthy Black Wind Village is as a dominant force that roams the Martial World unchecked.

After all, compared to Black Wind Village, which rapidly recruited players from the early stages of Mixed Martial Arts, Lingjiu Palace’s beginnings were much slower.

Moreover, there are virtually no barriers to joining Black Wind Village; those who don’t join might even be forcibly abducted to the mountain.

Joining Lingjiu Palace, however, requires meeting high standards. Right off the bat, one must hike up the treacherous Piaomiao Peak, then kneel in the blizzard for three days before possibly being admitted into the fold.

As a result, the player pool of Lingjiu Palace is still only a few hundred, thinking of outshouting the nearly eight thousand Black Wind Village players is downright delusional.

Consequently, the Lingjiu Palace players who couldn’t win the verbal battle simply exited the forum in resignation, steeling themselves to seek revenge in Mixed Martial Arts World alongside Tong Lao.

The Black Wind Village bandit players, having triumphed in their first verbal battle, were naturally exuberant with a torrent of laughter at the expense of Lingjiu Palace, dismissing it as no match.

However, a small number of players well-versed in ancient texts quickly calmed down after the uproar, secretly sweating cold for their own Village Chief, Jiang Dali.

"What level of combat strength do you think Tianshan Tonglao has? Can our Village Chief handle it? After all, the rumors are sinister—she’s nearly a century old, a high expert, almost on par with Zhang Sanfeng."

"Our Village Chief is now known as Nan Dali. He can even fight Beiqiao Feng to a draw, so why wouldn’t he be able to handle Tianshan Tonglao? What does age matter? Perhaps her bones have become brittle; she may not withstand even one blow from our Village Chief."

"Don’t underestimate others. There are five taboos in Jianghu: monks, Taoists, children, women, and the elderly. These five types of people are best left unprovoked. Tianshan Tonglao alone represents two of those—and that’s terrifying. Plus, having lived so long, her Inner Strength must be very strong, right?"

"Speculating like this is useless now. If you wish to join the battle, you should request to engage and then set off to Yunzhou immediately."

With Lingjiu Palace mobilizing, Yunzhou could not help but be shaken.

With a single stomp from Tianshan Tonglao, many big and small forces quivered thrice alongside.

A large number of experts, bound by the Life and Death Talismans from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-two Islands, mobilized at once to heed the orders, following Tianshan Tonglao’s convoy all the way to Wuliang Mountain.

This much commotion, which hadn’t been seen in years from Lingjiu Palace, naturally startled numerous forces large and small, attracting the attention and concern from many.

Players nearby set aside whatever they were doing and rushed non-stop to Yunzhou to join the excitement.

While those forces already in Yunzhou began to glean thought-provoking information from the struggle between Lingjiu Palace and Black Wind Village.

Power Gang.

Dressed in a black leather armor and a Black Cloak on the back, Li Chenzhou stood before the window, listening to Liu Wu, Liu Sui Feng, as he read aloud the latest secret letter. When he reached the final words, "Black Wind Village Chief," Li Chenzhou slightly nodded.

Seeing that Li Chenzhou merely nodded without speaking, Liu Sui Feng knew he was being asked for his opinion and immediately said, "Big brother, I think the Wuliang Jade rumored at Wuliang Mountain might truly possess extraordinary qualities; otherwise, that old demon Tianshan Tonglao wouldn’t care so much about it.

Moreover, the force of Black Wind Village is mainly centered in Hui Prefecture. This time, their unusual move was to dispatch Shuanglong, Xu Ziling, to Yunzhou to seize Wuliang Mountain, which would not happen without some lucrative incentive, right?"

Li Chenzhou continued to nod, his palms that could shake the Martial World clenched into fists on the window sill, as if firmly grasping at power, and he spoke in a deep and commanding voice, "Yunzhou falls within the territory of the Dali Duan Family and also holds Mingjian Villa and Iron Blood Banner Sect, two forces not to be underrated.

If our Power Gang intends to secure a foothold in Yunzhou, we also need a suitable stronghold."

Liu Sui Feng, catching the subtle hint, suddenly brightened and said, "Does big brother also wish to meddle and probe first?"

Li Chenzhou spoke solemnly, "Send Lan and Bai, the two protectors, to investigate the situation first. They may act boldly if necessary."

Liu Sui Feng’s body trembled, fully aware that involving themselves in Wuliang Mountain would provoke both Black Wind Village and Lingjiu Palace. Yet with Li Chenzhou’s words reaching this point, he knew there was no chance for dissuasion, only immediate execution.

"Understood!"

Liu Sui Feng bowed and departed swiftly.

...

At the heart of the storm, on Wuliang Mountain and the Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali seemed as though they had no concerns, as he still trained an Absolute Skill under the cliffs of Wuliang Mountain, utilizing the power from the Wuliang Jade.

White clouds by nature leave no trace; falling upon the broken cliffs, they deepen the vastness.

But from the depths of the valley beneath the sheer cliff, roared the sounds of dragon chants accompanied by fierce palm power blasts, almost as if to shoot the plummeting waterfall up into the sky.

Under the moonlight.

Jiang Dali’s figure moved rapidly, as if engaging in swift combat with an unseen shadow.

Suddenly, he unleashed another palm strike.

Opposite him, Li Qiushui·Heart Shadow, holding a sword, hastily countered with White Rainbow Palm Power.

Bang!

The very moment their palms made contact, Jiang Dali’s hand erupted with a surge of palm power wrapped in fiery True Qi, instantly causing Li Qiushui·Heart Shadow to scream in agony and scatter like a kite with its string cut, retreating backward in flight.

Jiang Dali moved like lightning and thunder, rushing forward and pointed his finger—hiss—

A fierce, red streak of Finger Force flashed by like a crimson blade, heating the air as it pierced through Heart Shadow’s forehead, leading to its complete dissolution.

"You have vanquished the Wuliang Jade’s creation, [Li Qiushui·Heart Shadow], your spirit feels even more invigorated, gaining insights during the exchange. Your Martial Arts Proficiency in ’Great Strength Divine Skill,’ ’Mighty God Fist,’ ’Iron Cloth Shirt,’ ’Golden Body Skill,’ ’Gecko Wall-Crawling Skill,’ ’Heavenly Dragon Seven Forms,’ and others have all improved."

Jiang Dali glanced at the panel notification, then at the somewhat chaotic ground around him, a light smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.

"Compared to defeating my own Heart Shadow, defeating Li Qiushui seems much easier.

I wonder what it will be like when I face Wuya Zi later on?"

From the confrontation with Heart Shadow, Jiang Dali now knew that at the same Realm, his combat strength might have already surpassed that of Li Qiushui.

When battling his own Heart Shadow, facing himself with high attack, defense, health, and not-inferior speed, it was a great challenge for Jiang Dali. He barely managed to gain the upper hand and overcome his Heart Shadow by leveraging the pressure created by Powerful Slash.

In contrast, when fighting against Li Qiushui’s Heart Shadow, he was facing an enemy with high attack, weak defense, low health, and fast speed, which naturally became much easier to handle.

This was mainly because the Martial Arts he had learned were already very powerful, equally strong if not stronger than Li Qiushui’s.

Otherwise, with Li Qiushui’s mastery over a variety of formidable Martial Arts, she would have been incredibly difficult to deal with.

Now, having consecutively defeated two Heart Shadows.

Jiang Dali felt he had gained much.

Several Martial Arts that had reached the 9th Realm all received some proficiency.

Among them, ’Iron Cloth Shirt’ had reached a proficiency of 33% at the 9th Realm, having improved by 3% during the two battles.

"To break through to the Heavenly Human Realm, not only do I need 100,000 Cultivation Points, but I also need one Human Rank Martial Art or two Mortal Martial Arts to reach the level of ’Shocking the Ancient and Modern,’ and I must create a Martial Art of my own."

Jiang Dali pondered over the message on the panel, "Creating my own Martial Art and acquiring Cultivation Points are not difficult for me. The challenge lies in elevating a Martial Art to the level of ’Shocking the Ancient and Modern.’

However, with the Wuliang Jade as aid, this is just a matter of time for me."

The gap between the Heavenly Human Realm and the Gang Qi Realm is much wider than the gap between the Gang Qi Realm and the Bursting Energy Realm.

This discrepancy is not only reflected in the enhancement of the five senses and Spiritual Sense following a breakthrough but also in the ability to enter a state of Unity of Heaven and Man in an extremely short time, launching powerful and terrifying offensive moves, upon breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm.

This information is what Jiang Dali gathered from Dongfang Bubai, combined with his own experiences.

When in the Feng Clan, Dongfang Bubai, nearly unmatched in the Gang Qi Realm, engaged in combat with an expert like Li Chimei. By revealing that state of Unity of Heaven and Man, Dongfang Bubai managed to severely injure Li Chimei, which is enough to show the disparity between the two.

"Li Chimei is an ultimate expert whose speed reached the limit, possibly even stronger than Dongfang before her breakthrough. In the Gang Qi Realm, she’s almost invincible.

If I had fought her before consuming the Phoenix Gold Fruit, I would have certainly been overwhelmed. Now, it remains to be seen what the situation would be.

But if I were to face someone like Dongfang, now in the Heavenly Human Realm, embracing her full power and entering the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, a single strike could seriously injure me.

I need to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm sooner... only then can I truly be a powerhouse."

Jiang Dali felt an urgent desire in his heart.

Just then, bathed in the moonlight, the Wuliang Jade reflected off the small stone wall behind it, undergoing another eerie transformation. Suddenly, the figure of a tall man emerged on the Jade, bursting forth from the wall.

"Wuya Zi!"

The instant Jiang Dali’s gaze landed on him, the man’s figure, without uttering a word, leaped from the Jade, and with a flurry, struck out two palms. Attacking from both left and right, with entirely contrasting energies in his palm strikes, it was bizarrely odd.

"Sky Mountain Six Yang Palm?"

Jiang Dali’s eyes lit up, and he burst into great laughter, sinking his waist and horse stance, simultaneously unleashing two palms.

In that moment, his True Qi divided into two streams: one surged from the Central Elixir Field to his right palm, fierce and imbued with Fiery Yang True Qi, and the other chilled and icy council from the Lower Elixir Field to his left palm.

The simultaneous execution of the two palms at that instant, also formed two utterly distinct and peculiar palm forces...
