Chapter 1498: Chapter 1151: Silver Blue Blade Qi! The Game Between Zhu Wushi and Jiang Dali?

"Boom!!——"

The terrifying silver-blue saber qi, over thirty zhang long, stretched across the Unrivaled City square, like the Milky Way of the nine heavens crashing down, instantly engulfing Dugu Yifang, who looked terrified and attempted to resist.

Then the entire scene twisted and shook wildly, countless rubble and dust were swept into the sky, and then pulled by a terrifying suction force like two tornadoes, completely crushed, and thus the scene ended.

Jiang Dali frowned as he watched the video, which had gone dark on the forum. Clearly, the Unrivaled City player who filmed this video either had already perished or was knocked unconscious by the powerful qi force.

At the level of experts like Nie Renwang, the sheer pressure from the leaking qi is akin to suddenly being submerged hundreds of meters underwater, and dying from the pressure on the spot is quite normal.

However, this player’s video captured most of the situation from the battle in Unrivaled City, making it completely clear to Jiang Dali what was happening there, and causing a murderous intent to rise in his heart.

"The Dugu Yifang impersonated by the Human Face Envoy is indeed ambitious. I didn’t expect him to find the Purple Robe Scripture King and collude with him.

It makes sense... he betrayed Bai Suzhen, and the Purple Robe Scripture King also betrayed Bai Suzhen. The Purple Robe Scripture King became my enemy because of Dharma’s Heart, while the Human Face Envoy opposed me due to the World Association’s territory and resources. They truly might team up."

Jiang Dali frowned in thought, and opened the video in the post to watch it repeatedly.

Originally, he suspected that the Dugu Yifang disguised by the Human Face Envoy was not honest, so he sent the Ice Emperor and Divine Mother with Wen Chouchou to negotiate. This was to test the Human Face Envoy on one hand, and to use him to test the Ice Emperor and Divine Mother on the other.

Now, the situation has become complicated and troublesome due to the appearance of the Purple Robe Scripture King, Zhu Wushi, Yan Ying, and Nie Renwang.

Jiang Dali did not expect Zhu Wushi to suddenly leave the Ming Country Palace and travel to the Divine Martial Country to get involved in this matter and confront the Purple Robe Scripture King.

This was obviously also due to his influence, but it might also be because Nie Renwang actively sought help from Zhu Wushi.

Zhu Wushi’s amazing performance when confronting the Purple Robe Scripture King showed that Old Zhu’s power had once again advanced since the battle of Heaven Mountain, which is indeed shocking. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to stand against the Purple Robe Scripture King.

What caught Jiang Dali’s attention most now was Zhu Wushi’s appearance. When he appeared, it was his own face rather than Zhu Yunwen’s appearance, only he looked much younger, like he was in his thirties.

This led many players who saw Zhu Wushi to exclaim in surprise on the forum, wondering why Zhu Wushi was still alive.

In the players’ minds, Zhu Wushi had long died in the battle for the imperial throne in the Ming Country Palace, supposedly at the hands of the Black Wind Village Chief.

But now, with Zhu Wushi reappearing, many players were surprised. Some clever ones used past clues to find evidence that Zhu Wushi was not actually dead, and they explained why Zhu Wushi is still alive in a reasonable post on the forum, sparking many discussions among players.

"Back then in the Ming Country Palace battle, North Drinking Mad Saber Nie Renwang, Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali, Iron Gall Divine Constable Zhu Wushi, plus the latecomer Sun and Moon Divine Sect Hierarch Dongfang Bubai attacked Xiong Ba together.

Xiong Ba was injured and retreated after being stabbed by Zhu Wushi’s Heavenly Fury Sword, while Zhu Wushi was almost beaten half to death and was knocked into the palace behind him.

Later, the Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali entered the palace, seemingly killing Zhu Wushi, but who saw it? Nobody saw it! We were all just guessing!

Later, the Black Wind Village Chief even instructed the imperial family to have Zhu Wushi’s remains buried in the imperial mausoleum, creating the illusion that Zhu Wushi had died. Now it seems that Zhu Wushi was never dead, and the Black Wind Village Chief, for some reason, spared Zhu Wushi’s life and concealed his death."

"Shit, when you put it that way, it’s really terrifying to think about. The Black Wind Village Chief acted to quell Ming Country’s unrest and against Iron Gall Divine Constable as a sworn enemy. If he chose not to kill Iron Gall Divine Constable and concealed his death, then there must be a deep conspiracy behind that battle?"

"Could it be that the Black Wind Village Chief and Iron Gall Divine Constable were never enemies and just pretended to be so, just to trap Xiong Ba during the Ming Country Palace battle? But it didn’t work, so they tried again at Heaven Mountain... Shit!? The Zhu Yunwen in the Heaven Mountain battle, could that have been Zhu Wushi? Back then, we were all wondering why Zhu Yunwen had such strong power and knew the Absorption Skill."

"Hiss! I think I’ve discovered a blind spot. If the Zhu Yunwen from the Heaven Mountain battle was actually Zhu Wushi, then the Zhu Yunwen who once ascended to Emperor of Ming, could he also be Zhu Wushi? This... this is like swapping the real for the fake under the eyes of heaven and earth!"

"So, the Black Wind Village Chief and Iron Gall Divine Constable teamed up to deal with Xiong Ba, becoming an invincible duo. The Iron Gall Divine Constable got the imperial throne he wanted and killed Xiong Ba, and the Black Wind Village Chief got the World Association’s territory and also killed Xiong Ba. They both won while Xiong Ba ended up bearing it all alone?"

"This is a whopping conspiracy! Your village chief is still your village chief, and your divine constable is still your divine constable! This is so cunning and treacherous! If we players were all natives, we wouldn’t be able to compete with these Big Bosses. Now, who can be sure if the Emperor of Ming, Zhu Yunwen, still exists?"

...

Jiang Dali sighed after seeing the players’ debates and conjectures in the forum post, "These big-brained chives can really fill in the blanks with their imagination! They’re almost guessing some truths correctly."

However, Jiang felt upright in his actions, and other than when harvesting them, he was not as dark-minded as they suggested.

According to the current players’ speculations, he and Zhu Wushi were pretending to fight but were actually in cahoots to trap Xiong Ba, each getting what they needed.

But in reality, he and Old Zhu were truly in a life-and-death struggle, both wanting to kill the other, with nothing unsavory behind the scenes.

Only later, when Suxin was revived, Zhu Wushi’s greatest goal was reached, and his ambition was contained. Only then did they reach an agreement, forming the "invincible duo" as the players had said.

The powerless but meddlesome Zhu Yunwen served as the puppet sacrifice in the process, but it didn’t mean Zhu Yunwen was dead.

"In the last Heaven Mountain battle, Zhu Yunwen’s body was almost burst by the immense power. If Zhu Wushi’s power hadn’t supported him, an average person couldn’t have survived. It seems Zhu Yunwen’s body had some issues, so Old Zhu switched to a new body? Then used some disguise technique to restore his original appearance..."

Jiang Dali pondered this way, feeling that Old Zhu still seemed to have some secrets he didn’t know.

For example, the origin of the new body, how Old Zhu managed to find a new body in a short time, and why Old Zhu’s strength could increase again in a short period. Did he swallow and absorb many martial arts experts?

These questions could only be personally asked when he met Old Zhu.

If it had been the former Zhu Wushi, Jiang Dali might have felt threatened and uneasy.

But now he was willing to trust Zhu Wushi, so even if the other party was hiding secrets, he wasn’t worried that he would do anything detrimental to him.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Old Zhu was willing to leave the Ming Country Palace, leave Suxin’s side, and travel far to the dangerous Unrivaled City of Divine Martial Country to solve his problem, this friendship was enough for him to choose to trust.

But now, compared to Zhu Wushi, he was more concerned and worried about the clearly dangerous state Nie Renwang was in.

From the video, it was evident that Yan Ying’s death had an immense impact on Nie Renwang, causing his Mad Blood to completely erupt and go on a rampage, displaying extraordinary strength and violence, actually unleashing Silver Blue Blade Qi.

According to the level division of colored blade qi, it is divided into Red Iron, Bronze, Silver Blue, and the highest level, Golden Blade Qi.

Nie Renwang had once displayed Bronze Blade Qi in his Mad Blood state, which was in the second tier.

But now, in the video footage, his Blade Qi had reached the Silver Blue Blade Qi stage, which clearly indicated a surge in his power.

However, the cost of such a surge in power was obviously the complete presence of Mad Blood throughout his body, invading every corner, every cell.

In such a frenzied state, losing all rational thought, Nie Renwang would most likely find it difficult to completely shake off the madness and regain clarity. He would, like his predecessors, erupt in Mad Blood and cause a bloodbath in the Martial World, a scenario Jiang Dali did not wish to see.

"Truly, since ancient times, too much affection leaves only regrets; it seems I must end my secluded training early. I had planned to practice more here, but now I must go to the Divine Martial Country promptly, to awaken Old Nie before he sinks deeper. It’s been a day since the battle at Unrivaled City, hopefully, I can make it in time..."

Inside the Outer Mausoleum of the Holy Tomb, Jiang Dali maintained his Golden Body State, coldly watching as tiny stone fists and knives of the surrounding stone sculptures slammed into his increasingly powerful Vajra Physique, making clanging, vibrating sounds, gradually enhancing his Golden Bell Unbreakable Body mastery.

After two days of enlisting a group of Heart Shadow stone sculptures to give him a full-day vigorous massage.

The mastery of the Golden Bell Unbreakable Body had slowly increased to a level of 89%, and even the Absorption Skill had been enhanced to 71%.

It wouldn’t be long before these two secret techniques could step into the 10th Realm, shocking the ancient and modern.

During this process, many of the loosely textured Heart Shadow stone sculptures couldn’t withstand the impact force after striking him for too long, causing themselves to collapse, leaving considerable stone debris on the surrounding ground.

But now, he couldn’t linger any longer, only regrettably sweeping the Heart Shadow stone sculptures in the Holy Tomb thoroughly, using them to elevate the realm of the "Heavenly Reversing Divine Intent Saber" and practice Bronze Blade Qi as soon as possible.

With a shake of his mighty frame, Jiang Dali spread his arms wide and stepped forward, his ill-fitting wooden clogs from Ying Country landing on the ground.

Crack—!

The clogs exploded.

Several nearby Heart Shadow stone sculptures were struck by the violent Qi Force erupting from his body, stumbling back in retreat.

At that instant, Jiang Dali drew his Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber from his back.

In the moment the eerie green hilt of the saber fell into his hand, the blade instantly turned crimson under the infusion of vigorous primordial energy, displaying beautiful saber markings like bird feathers, radiating intense heat.

Just as he was about to slash out with Scarlet Red Blade Qi, Jiang Dali’s cold, tiger-like eyes suddenly shifted, his brows furrowing slightly, and with a cold snort, his biceps bulged like iron, slicing out diagonally. The fierce Scarlet Flame Blade Qi transformed into a massive semi-circle, sweeping fiercely.

The entire tomb was instantly bathed in a crimson glow, the scorching heat distorting the air, a broad semi-circular blade qi churning out, immediately sucking all the surrounding Heart Shadow stone sculptures into it, grinding them into powder and collapsing, sweeping like a wind and fire wheel toward the dark passageway to the side.

"Hold your hand!"

A low, hoarse voice, tinged with a hint of panic, came from the passageway...
