Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Chapter 1089: Chapter 856: A Century of the King of Freedom, Showdown on Black Wind Mountain

Jiang Dali stood up with a smile, hands behind his back, and nodded, ”You are also the oldest person I have ever seen.”

King of Freedom was renowned in the Martial World when Zhang Sanfeng was young, already in his sixties at that time.

Now Zhang Sanfeng is over a hundred years old, yet King of Freedom is still alive, his age likely around one hundred and seventy, older than Demon Master Pang Ban and Tianshan Tonglao, Sweeping Monk, indeed the oldest person he had ever seen.

As for Xiang Yutian and Di Ni, who exist merely in the form of Primordial Spirit, they could no longer be considered complete people, hence need not be mentioned.

King of Freedom looked at Jiang Dali in surprise, a rare smile appeared at the corners of his proud and indifferent lips, ”Black Wind Village Chief, do you think I, King of Freedom, am too old and undeserving to duel with you?”

Jiang Dali shook his head, ”I am simply puzzled by your motive for battling me, for even the Six Righteous Sects cannot move you.”

”Motive...”

King of Freedom smiled, looked up at the sky, and suddenly dissipated the Qi Mechanism covering his body, allowing the cold rainwater to stream down.

Rainwater flowed down his neck to his face and chest, giving him a sense of liberation and readiness to strive for the Way at any moment.

Since he was defeated by Zhang Sanfeng a century ago, the Martial World said he was insane.

Only he knew he wasn’t mad; the so-called madness was just beyond others’ understanding.

He returned to his nature in a crazed state, abandoning all honor and fame, pursuing only the highest and strongest power.

He never slept more than an hour each day, using the freed time to battle with Heaven, with Earth, and with himself, advancing rapidly in strength.

Until some time ago, he suddenly felt his strength had hit a bottleneck, hard to improve further, and there were only two ways to break through the bottleneck in his intuition.

One was to defeat Zhang Sanfeng, breaking through the deepest nightmare and shackles in his heart.

The other was to gain overwhelming Qi Fortune and forcibly gather Essence, Qi, and Spirit, breaking through to the Returning to Truth Realm with Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

The first method was straightforward.

The second method, looking across all vassal states, those filled with the most Qi Fortune under high noon skies were scarce, and Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali was indeed one of them.

His strength was indeed the most likely among current Heavenly Human Realm practitioners in the vassal states to match him and help him break through in a fierce battle, others would hardly provide him such a thrill.

”I see. So you have already regarded me as a stepping stone or a platform level character.”

Jiang Dali nodded slightly, understanding King of Freedom’s intention.

This silent conversation between the two men appeared inexplicable in the eyes of distant observers.

In fact, only both parties knew, everything was unspoken.

All communication was completed through spirit.

King of Freedom had already reached the peak state of Heavenly Human Realm in Essence, Qi, and Spirit, only short of Three Elements Return to One, which martial artists term as Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, breaking through into Returning to Truth Realm.

But this endeavor posed great risk to any martial artist, a slight mishap could leave one an idiot or result in sudden death on the spot, not to mention someone like King of Freedom who harbors Zhang Sanfeng as a nightmare and Heart Demon, highly likely to succumb to Heart Demon invasion during breakthrough, leading him astray.

Therefore, King of Freedom conceived the idea of acquiring Qi Fortune to assist in his breakthrough.

Those with great Qi Fortune naturally brim with strong confidence, having Qi Fortune could aid in overcoming obstacles, thereby acting like a direct offensive to the dragon’s heart, invincible and unstoppable.

Compared to directly challenging Zhang Sanfeng to shatter this nightmare, defeating Jiang Dali first to seize his amassed vast Qi Fortune, using it to break into Returning to Truth Realm, and then challenging Zhang Sanfeng, was undoubtedly the right choice.

Hence, Jiang Dali was now considered a stepping stone.

King of Freedom lowered his head, returning his face to calmness, he glanced at the Dragon Ascending Land not far away, then looked at Jiang Dali, ”I have come today to stake everything in this battle, I hope Black Wind Village Chief grants me this request.”

”Although I, the village chief, have lived less than half your age, I have experienced many battles between life and death. If you wish to fight, you must be prepared to be killed by me.”

As Jiang Dali spoke, suddenly his eyes exploded with sharp and malicious intent, locking King of Freedom with invisible and tangible Divine Intent like spider silk, winding them together, through this invisible spider silk, he could easily sense all of King of Freedom’s martial changes.

This was precisely the core and essence of the Undying Seal Technique.

This technique derived from Xu Ziling and created by Evil King was a Heavenly Rank Absolute Skill that Jiang Dali had cultivated to the 9th level of Returning to Nature, making him arguably the most adept in this martial arts in the present era.

He could thereby achieve knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, undefeated in a hundred battles, reaching the subtle realm of spiritually knowing the enemy.

However, just as he sensed the vast oceans of True Qi within King of Freedom, he simultaneously sensed the spirit of the opponent also scattering like threads, with four threads surprisingly linked to those four carriers still carrying the sedan chair.

This bizarre scene hadn’t allowed him time to think, when the four carriers shouted in unison, their originally dull eyes lit up brightly, unleashing storm-like spiritual waves from all directions.

This sudden change caused the invisible connection formed by the Undying Seal Technique to abruptly sever, he could no longer follow the spiritual changes of King of Freedom.

King of Freedom laughed slightly, ”This should be the Undying Seal Technique created by Demon Sect’s Bu Tian Pavilion Evil King Shi Zhixuan, an illusion technique used to deceive and fool the enemy to ultimately defeat and subdue them, I didn’t expect you could cultivate it to such a degree.

Though this martial art is exquisite, to me, King of Freedom, it is mere child’s play. The Sealing Technique only confuses the lower-level sensory contacts but hardly affects my spirit, which is already crystal clear and unimpeded.”

Jiang Dali snorted coldly, ”Could it be that you think you’ve completely surpassed Zhang Sanfeng?”

King of Freedom’s gaze congealed, his mind instantly showing a fleeting flaw.

Almost at that moment, Jiang Dali’s eyes glow intensely, the spiritual assault of the Undying Seal Technique reached its peak, his body stomped on the ground with a thud, like a tiger charging forth from the pavilion, his five fingers cultured into a blade-like form, suddenly slashing out!

Crack!!

A bolt of lightning coincidentally split the void above Jiang Dali’s head.

The electric light pierced through the surrounding darkened world, revealing the multitude of trees on Black Wind Mountain wildly shaking and swaying in the whipping storm as if gone mad.

Killing intent pervades, saber qi rampages—

King of Freedom’s white unbrowed face became even more terrifying beneath the electric blade light, as if an avenging ghost...
