Chapter 467: 0379: The Extreme Power, Goodbye Qiao Feng (Guaranteed Update, Request for Monthly Ticket)

"Emotional yet emotionless, it all hinges on a single thought in the heart."

"It’s hard to say which of the two paths is stronger or weaker, as there’s no clear distinction in terms of superiority or inferiority."

But Ding Peng’s intention was that he was more eager for Jiang Dali to embrace the Emotionless Blade Intent.

It was evident that Jiang Dali had long harbored this mindset, having made this choice long ago.

As Emotional and Emotionless are hard to rank,

the best path is naturally the one that suits oneself the most.

Emotional to the Extreme, Emotionless Dao—this was the side path Jiang Dali had set outside the Great Strength.

Hearing Ding Peng express such anticipation, Jiang Dali nodded, smiling faintly, "I too look forward to the day when you, Master Ding, reach the state where one subjugates the blade with the person. Only then will our duel be truly exhilarating.

But if you reach that state, you will likely first seek out Xie Xiaofeng."

"The state where the person subjugates the blade..."

Ding Peng fell silent all of a sudden, sheathing his curved blade, flicking off the fresh blood on his hand, and curling his thin lips into a slight smile, "I’m looking forward to it too!"

Their conversation was beyond the comprehension of the onlookers.

Even Liu Ruosong, standing nearby, couldn’t make sense of what they were discussing.

If people didn’t understand their earlier combat,

now, the words they exchanged were completely incomprehensible.

However, both Jiang Dali and Ding Peng evidently had no intention of explaining themselves to anyone.

Jiang Dali’s purpose for this visit had already been achieved, and he stayed no longer.

After bidding Ding Peng farewell, he carried his great saber and left Moon Villa.

This time at Moon Villa,

he had deliberately come to seek guidance from Ding Peng only after achieving Great Success in all his cultivation techniques.

Had he sought this guidance before achieving Great Success, he felt he wouldn’t be fully sure of preserving his life under the Demon Blade.

Yet, after achieving Great Success in his cultivation techniques, even if his saber skills were inferior to Ding Peng’s, Jiang Dali was confident he could still retreat safely.

But the outcomes were beyond his expectations.

First was Ding Peng’s unexpectedly welcoming attitude,

who, instead of being annoyed by his visit for guidance, invited him to sit and discuss saber techniques, fully demonstrating the demeanor of a Sword Master.

Second was his own performance in the battle with Ding Peng, which surprised him: under pressure, he fully activated his Emotional Blade Intent, leading to a sudden enlightenment and advancing into the Extreme Emotion phase. His Emotional Blade Intent evolved into Extreme Emotion Blade Intent, and he even gained a clear understanding of the Extreme Emotion Heart Realm.

Such sudden enlightenment was incredibly rare and serendipitous.

Jiang Dali’s few previous enlightenments had occurred while he was initially learning the Nine Yang Divine Skill and during his chess game with Su Xinghe on Chessboard Mountain. This time, it was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Third was that Ding Peng’s strength exceeded his expectations.

If Ding Peng hadn’t held back with that last strike, his heart would have been pierced.

Even the strongest Horizontal Training or techniques like the Golden Bell Shield couldn’t react in time to save him in that instant.

Unless he immediately drank thousand-year-old Yellow Ginseng Juice, no amount of Qi-Blood could prevent death.

However, Jiang Dali didn’t belittle himself.

That strike from Ding Peng was indeed a threat to his life.

But before dying, if he had entered the Destruction State, Ding Peng would have suffered greatly, possibly getting his heart shattered by his strike.

After all, in his normal state, his blade was already capable of nearly four thousand jin of terrifying force—enough to bring even Golden Wheel Dharma King, who had mastered the Dragon Elephant Wisdom, to his knees.

If he entered the Destruction State, a strike with eight thousand or even nearly ten thousand jin of force, combined with the impact force of the Destructive True Qi, could shatter Ding Peng’s heart, even if he could handle it with the Nine Yang Divine Skill and skillful blade techniques.

"But now, reflecting on these, they are merely hypotheticals.

In clashes between experts, victory or defeat, life or death, happens in the twinkling of an eye.

The battle between me and Ding Peng was more a contest of spirit, heart, and realm, rather than just a test of strength.

If I had entered the Destruction State, my opponent might not have clashed directly with me; he would surely have changed his tactic.

Besides, even if I had wanted to enter the Destruction State in that split second, I might not have managed it before his blade reached me...

Entering such a state takes time... My opponent wouldn’t necessarily give me that time..."

Walking out of Moon Villa, Jiang Dali was still reflecting on the battle.

At this thought, he couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.

He felt like he was outwardly carefree, but inside, there was still a stubborn unwillingness to admit defeat. He was trying to retroactively "perfect himself" in his mind, fabricating reasons for defeating Ding Peng.

But such hypothetical summaries are not feasible and only serve to delude oneself and underestimate the enemy.

Because the enemy deduced from such summaries remains static, stuck in the past, their weaknesses appear exploitable.

But in reality, if the scenario were to occur again, both he and Ding Peng would change, and the outcome might not be as he wished.

"The blade subjugated by the person... this is Ding Peng’s current state, where the blade and the person are one, indistinguishable from each other. The blade senses the person’s killing intent, the person embodies the blade’s fierceness, the person becomes a slave to the blade, and the blade becomes the soul of the person.

The blade itself is a lethal weapon, and that particular blade, even more so, the ultimate among lethal weapons.

Touched by the Demon Nature of ’One Night Listening to Spring Rain in a Small Tower,’ every strike Ding Peng makes is almost godlike or devilish, overwhelming ordinary swordsmen, who lack even the courage to draw their blades, let alone resist."
