Chapter 581: 0475: Sternly confronting a thousand heroes! The monk takes action for five hugs (Extra chapter for 10 monthly tickets)
Chiang—
Sword.
The sword flew through the air.
Countless pairs of eyes also flew through the air with the sword light at that moment, filled with shock, admiration, avarice, restraint, and other diverse emotions.
The Heavenly Sword, a weapon that everyone in the Martial World dreamt of but could never obtain, danced in the sky, casting streaks of cold and piercing light.
Especially in the eyes of the players.
As the sword flew, surrounded by a golden hue that signified a top-tier famous weapon, it excited the players so much that their blood boiled.
Many players almost instinctively leaned forward, itching to move, shouting inwardly, "Fly towards me," "Fly towards me."
However, some of the players in the front rows couldn't help themselves and shouted as they executed various movement techniques to leap into the air.
Techniques such as "grass flying," "Eight Steps to Catch a Cicada," and even more advanced techniques like "Cloud Stepping" and "Swallow Three Water Dipping" were all deployed.
The indigenous Martial World people, who were tempted to move but dared not, were startled by these fearless players who wanted the sword at the cost of their own lives; several of them almost leaped out as well.
"Insolence!"
With a cold snort from Jiang Dali, he reached out with a mighty hand, and with a roar like the cry of a dragon, a wild suction force transformed into a furious dragon's head and swept out, directly rolling the Heavenly Sword, which was in mid-air, into his grasp.
The dozen or so players who had rushed out lost their balance in the suction and screamed in terror, all flying backward toward the hand of Jiang Dali that emitted the dragon-shaped Qi Force.
While still in midair, these players' Qi-Blood and True Qi plummeted wildly.
Before even coming into contact with Jiang Dali's hand, a series of shocking damage numbers burst out from above their heads as they all screamed and turned into a white light upon death.
Boom!
As the Qi Force retracted, Jiang Dali's hand now held the Heavenly Sword along with the clothes of the dozen players.
It looked as if he had absorbed the flesh and bones of a dozen otherworldly beings with one palm, leaving only a pile of clothes behind.
This scene caused the surrounding Martial World people, who were close by, to turn pale with fear, retreating in terror.
"Hmph! In the Martial World, only I, the Village Chief of Black Wind, take others' belongings; no one takes mine," Jiang Dali declared coldly, his eyes sweeping the crowd like cold lightning, his bushy eyebrows fiercely straight as a sword. Wherever his gaze landed, people felt as if their faces were being electrocuted, involuntarily flinching away from his eyes.
Deterrence!
An immensely strong deterrence!
Defeating Master Mie Jue.
There were not many among the crowd who could accomplish this, yet there were still a few who could.
But to defeat her as effortlessly and swiftly as Jiang Dali, who used just two fingers, not even Lu Xiaofeng could do such a thing.
However, Master Mie Jue was known for her toughness. Seeing the Heavenly Sword taken away, she immediately ignored the turmoil of Qi-Blood and the severe internal injuries within her body, spat out a mouthful of blood, and stepped forward, her face stern as she shouted harshly at Jiang Dali.
"Villain! The Heavenly Sword is the treasure of my Emei Sect. How can it be yours? Return the Heavenly Sword to me immediately!"
"Your Emei Sect's treasure? Now... consider it compensation for apologizing to me," Jiang Dali replied with a light laugh, casually flicking the longsword with a grip.
Shush, shush, shush—
A dozen streaks of lightning-fast silver Sword Radiance swept across the sky in an instant.
Carnage!
The clothes of the dozen or so players were instantly cut to shreds by the sharp sword light, turning into fluttering fragments scattering in the wind.
"What a sword!"
Jiang Dali's eyes brightened, clearly perceiving the sharpness of the Heavenly Sword.
For it seemed that the clothing was easily cut the moment the sword's edge almost touched it.
As if a formless Sword Qi was always condensed on the edge of the Heavenly Sword.
He passed his fingers over the blade of the sword, almost hearing a "hum" of sword hum, feeling the cold touch on his fingertips, and his spirit almost sensed a special Sword Intent, causing the hair on his body to involuntarily stand on end.
Even Jiang Dali, who had no understanding of the sword, felt that the Heavenly Sword was truly exceptional, worthy of being a top-tier famous weapon.
In the Mixed Martial Arts World, there might be many second-tier famous weapons.
But top-tier famous weapons were indeed few, each with its own name, renown, and many stories, and each almost caused a bloody storm in the Martial World.
Both in his past and present life, Jiang Dali was holding a top-tier famous weapon for the first time, feeling an unwillingness to let go once he had it in his grasp.
Because not only was the sword itself precious, but it also symbolized so many meanings and stories, carrying much glory, making one feel a strong sense of satisfaction and fulfillment the moment it was held.
"Return my treasured sword!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Master Mie Jue let out a harsh scream and charged to attack again.
However, with Master Mie Jue's strength, the Heavenly Human Realm remained unattainable due to her obstinate character, so how could she be an opponent for Jiang Dali?
As soon as she charged, Jiang Dali nonchalantly used a grappling technique to subdue her.
The attacks of Master Mie Jue, after passing through the thick armor and then falling on him, were simply incapable of shaking his iron-like body in the slightest.
Such a scene chilled the hearts of everyone in the Martial World, all overwhelmed by the formidable strength displayed by the Black Wind Village Chief.
The female disciples of the Emei Sect were especially shocked and cried out in terror and despair.
Seeing that the situation at Shaolin, the host of the event, was spiraling out of control, five elderly monks with white hair and beards leaped out in unison, chanting Buddha's name in chorus, each like a ferocious tiger pouncing towards Jiang Dali, loudly calling him to halt.
"Spare those you can, Black Wind Village Chief, please hold your hand."
"The Shaolin Temple is a place of peace and tranquility, Master Jiang, please lay down the butcher's knife."
"Master Jiang, you humiliate the Emei Sect like this, but do you know if the former ancestor of Emei, Heroine Guo Xiang, were alive, she would undoubtedly come to reason and reckon with you."
The seasoned people of the Martial World instantly recognized the five monks that emerged.
"They are the Shaolin High Monks Baoyue, Baohua, Baocan, Baofeng, and Baosnow!"
As the surrounding people of the Martial World exclaimed, these five monks already shouted their attacks, each from different directions towards Jiang Dali.
Master Baocan stretched out his form and executed a "Black Tiger Stealing Heart" right at his chest.
Master Baofeng shifted his form in a flash, striking with the "Kui Star Kick."
Master Baohua's form floated forward, unleashing the "Six Dings Mountain Opening" with his palm.
Master Baosnow's form flickered, and with a surge, he struck out with a "Single Dragon Emerges from the Sea."
Master Baoyue's form elongated, and with a chop, he unleashed a "Single Splitting Hua Mountain."
These five moves, shown concurrently by the men, were not earth-shattering Shaolin Ultimate Skills, nor were they their own creation, the secret technique "Embrace the World," but rather very ordinary moves.
This left many in the Martial World astonished, baffled, and shocked.
Only a very few of those with high skill internally exclaimed in admiration.
Because the Martial Arts of the world come from a multitude of sects too many to count, each with their own Absolute Skill and Miracle Technique, each with strengths and weaknesses.
But the basic skills of an average sect, after all, are nothing more than a few moves and postures.
Movements like "Black Tiger Stealing Heart" and "Single Splitting Hua Mountain" are shallow Martial Arts skills that even some of the riffraff of the Martial World are quite familiar with.
Ordinary people would never expect these illustrious monks to face such a formidable enemy as the Black Wind Village Chief with such ordinary moves.
However, an ordinary move like "Black Tiger Stealing Heart," when thrown by Master Baocan, was suddenly full of Evil Qi, more correct, more powerful, and more ferocious!
A standard move like "Single Dragon Emerges from the Sea," when struck by Master Baosnow, suddenly transformed into myriad illusions, containing subtle and intricate deadly grappling techniques!
A very simple move like "Single Splitting Hua Mountain," when delivered by Master Baoyue, came with an unprecedentedly fierce momentum, as if fighting for his life, with the deadly intent of a Broken Vow Monk, bereft of the compassion of an enlightened monk, and became utterly irresistible!
In just an instant, five figures, five unstoppable assaults, closed in from five different directions on the towering figure of Jiang Dali.
Even a large boulder standing in place would surely be shattered into pieces by these five monks.
At this moment, Jiang Dali had just captured Master Mie Jue, and in his other hand, he still held the Heavenly Sword.
It seemed that he would have to either release Master Mie Jue to defend himself, let go of the Heavenly Sword to counter the attack, or simply use neither and fend off the assault with leg skills.
However, everyone in the Martial World knew.
The Black Wind Village Chief knew no impressive leg techniques.
Faced with such an onslaught, it seemed the Black Wind Village Chief had no choice but to give up something to find a solution.
Right next to Jiang Dali, Lu Xiaofeng found himself in a quandary.
He wasn't sure whether he should lend a hand, or even if his assistance was needed at all.
Others nearby, whether it was Kou Zhong or the Three Kings, simply watched with wide eyes, without a thought to intervene.
Because they all knew.
Such a situation would not stump the Black Wind Village Chief.
They were extremely curious to see how, in such a dilemma that they found unsolvable, the Black Wind Village Chief would respond.
In that split second, with numerous gazes locked on him, Jiang Dali's eyes burst with sharp light, and with a roar, a faint golden aura appeared on his face as he entered the first phase of the Cross Training Technique.
A domineering and mighty Qi Force erupted from his body, creating an immense pressure.
The moment the five monks' attacks collided with him, his entire armor clanged violently, denting inward.
Despite looking as if he were being crushed by massive boulders, his Spirit Platform remained clear. The Nine Mysterious Great Method, combined with the stolen forces of the monks' fierce attacks through the Undying Seal Technique, created a whirlwind within him.
His aura became eerie.
A wicked intent burst forth from him.
Neither here nor there.
Boom!
A fierce and vast True Qi suddenly transformed into a pillar of energy, surging skyward from within him, and erupted in a circular blast.
"Scram!!"
