Chapter 412: 337~338: God and Mind, a formidable foe Li Chenzhou! (Extra update 2 for Maoni’s night)

A tremendous force burst forth from the statue in an instant.

With a roar like the cry of a dragon, a massive white shadow surged out of the statue, shape-shifting into a ferocious dragon and violently charging toward him.

"The same move as mine!?"

Jiang Dali’s eyes widened incredulously, and with a loud shout, the power in both palms surged again!

Boom!!－－

The two attacks collided mid-air, causing the massive dragons made of qi force to smash into each other, detonating with the intensity of a cannon explosion.

The entire stone chamber within the cave trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse.

Bang!!

The tremendous impact transmitted to Jiang Dali’s arms, coursing through his body.

His face turned red, and his body leaned backward as a "-552" damage indicator appeared above his head.

Landing with a thump, his feet directly sank half a foot into the stone, dragging out two striking grooves from the rock floor like a plough, with the Iron Nail Bracelets on both hands swelling up fiercely, the iron nails looking as though they were about to explode.

At that moment, another dozen white shadows emerged from the statue, forming into Heart Shadow Clones.

Jiang Dali’s eyes widened with shock and disbelief.

Especially when he saw the blood bar above the head of the Jade Statue, which was even longer than his own. The Qi-Blood he had knocked off from the impact was likely only about one fiftieth of the entire bar.

"Fuck!!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Dali swung his arms in rapid succession, unleashing over a dozen strikes of Frost Hand Blade and Blazing Hand Blade, sending saber qi slicing towards the white shadows, then promptly turned tail and dashed along the passage out of the cave.

The white Heart Shadows, bearing the brunt of the saber qi, chased after him relentlessly.

Boom, boom, boom－－

The entirety of Langhuan Blessed Land seemed to have ignited a succession of cannons, shaking and booming continuously, even alarming Li Jianfeng and Ning Su outside, who were engaged in combat with the Heart Shadows.

The two were caught in surprise when－－

Whoo－－

Jiang Dali’s muscular frame suddenly burst out of the cave, his cloak torn and trailing behind. His clothes were riddled with rents and tatters, and his body bore streaks of blood from sword wounds.

In that instant, he burst out and fiercely slammed his palm against a large boulder.

With a heavy thud, he caused the boulder to wobble and spin, concealing the entrance to the Langhuan Blessed Land.

After waiting for a dozen breaths, seeing that there were no further movements from below or any of Li Canghai’s Heart Shadows emerging, Jiang Dali finally let out a sigh of relief. His body tremored, his muscles and bones cracking, as he exited the Bone Shrinking Skill state and returned to normal.

Only then did he have the leisure to check the series of alerts that had appeared on his panel.

"You have discovered the treasure site of Langhuan Blessed Land, you have received 500 Cultivation Points and 500 Potential Points."

"You defeated Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow Avatar·Vigorous Air Realm, your ’Mighty God Fist’ proficiency has increased by 5%, ’Iron Cloth Shirt’ proficiency has increased by 0.7%, ’Golden Body Skill’ proficiency has increased by 0.4%, ’Thirteen Grand Protectors Training’ proficiency has increased by 0.3%."

"You..."

"You have engaged Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow Avatar·Vigorous Air Realm, your ’Mighty God Fist’ proficiency has increased by 9%, ’Iron Cloth Shirt’ proficiency has increased by 1.3%, ’Golden Body Skill’ proficiency has increased by 1.1%, ’Thirteen Grand Protectors Training’ proficiency has increased by 0.9%, ’Great Strength Divine Skill’ proficiency has increased by 5%."

"You have failed to overcome Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow Avatar·Vigorous Air Realm!"

Seeing the numerous alerts on the panel made Jiang Dali feel much better, knowing that his venture into the Langhuan Blessed Land had not been without gain.

Reflecting on the intense and pressurizing feeling during the encounter, it was something he had not experienced in a long time.

In that intense and pressurized engagement, he indeed gained a clearer understanding of his own martial arts, which translated into data recorded on the panel, resulting in a rapid increase in Martial Arts Proficiency.

Now looking at the Martial Arts on the panel again.

Both ’Mighty God Fist’ and ’Iron Cloth Shirt’ were close to advancing to the next Realm.

The proficiency of ’Iron Cloth Shirt’ had reached a high of 94.2%.

Jiang Dali felt that after a few more days of hardened practice, this martial art would break through to the ’Shocking the Ancient and Modern’ level.

But having just experienced that intense battle, Jiang Dali felt mentally fatigued, knowing that his spirit had been drained during the mental confrontation with Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow.

_In martial arts, ultimately, it is about refining qi into spirit, and refining spirit to return to the void._

Jiang Dali speculated that beyond the Heavenly Human Realm might be the path of refining qi into divinity.

Some formidable experts, even before reaching the Heavenly Human Realm, could touch upon the divine realm with their "intent," such as Fist Intent and Sword Intent.

Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow had clearly also reached the divine level through "intent," a master of the same caliber as Ding Peng, Xie Xiaofeng, and Ximen Chuixue with their Sword Intent, making him so strong.

"Currently, the only ’intent’ I comprehend is the Great Strength Saber Intent from the Powerful Slash. Apart from that, I have yet to realize any Fist Intent. Although my Palm Force is close to ’intent,’ it is clearly not yet pure enough, and therefore, I get countered when facing masters of ’intent.’"

The weak injure the body; the strong sever the soul!

In advanced martial arts, a mere look can terrify the enemy, paralyzing them with fear.

Before the punch is thrown, the Fist Intent can dominate one’s mind, allowing them to be slaughtered at will. That is the true form of killing without being seen, the mark of a true expert among experts.

Yet, a confrontation of spirit and intent is even more dangerous, harder to grasp, and more elusive.

Jiang Dali felt that even though he had realized Saber Intent and Palm Force, he was still within the realm of physically destroying an enemy’s body, unable to harm others purely through "spirit and intent."

_The path of martial arts has only just begun for me._
