Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1307 - 1010: Undying! Strength Speaks

As his spiritual sense investigated and locked onto that strand of Dragon Energy, Jiang Dali didn’t rush to descend, but continued searching for the auras of other experts surrounding that Dragon Energy.

However, just as his spiritual sense extended out, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis and intrusion by an intensely evil Primordial Spirit aura.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Dali’s face changed dramatically, and a burly figure as robust as a Demon God immediately emerged in his mind.

The man had disheveled hair, long limbs, an ancient, rugged face, and indifferent expression. His forehead was slightly balding, his eyes filled with evil and coldness. The large cloak open wide revealed rock-hard chest muscles, leaving an impression of ruthlessness and coldness, along with an awe-inspiring dominance.

"Is it you? Black Wind Village Chief... Unexpected, unexpected indeed! I didn’t realize you were secretly supporting Li Shimin."

A cold, faintly surprised deep voice echoed in Jiang Dali’s heart.

Almost simultaneously, at the corner of the corridor below the courtyard, a tall, burly figure appeared, looking up at him with an odd smile in his eyes. Jiang Dali could sense the man had closed his pores, withdrawn his Essence Qi, and stopped breathing, making it extremely difficult to detect his aura.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Dali’s heart shook as he carefully examined the majestic middle-aged man below.

It was his first encounter with such a powerful yet unfamiliar expert, and what puzzled him most was that the man was willingly protecting Crown Prince Li Jiancheng of Tang Country.

With this man’s skills, it was unlikely even Emperor Li Yuan of Tang could recruit him, so why was he guarding Li Jiancheng?

Could it be that the man had the same plan as him? Seeking something from the Tang Imperial Family by aiding the dragon?

"This isn’t the right place for a conversation. Would the gentleman care to move?"

The middle-aged man’s eyes emitted a smile and a wave of Primordial Spirit, and the next moment, he moved suddenly. He transformed into a dragon-like whirlwind and swiftly moved outside the courtyard, heading towards Suo River with exceptional speed.

"This movement technique... Dragon God Skill? Could this man be...?"

Jiang Dali’s eyes narrowed and his brow furrowed as he stomped on the Demon Hawk, urging it to pursue swiftly.

...

In no time.

A shadow like a whirlwind landed on the river surface of Suo River.

The ink-like river water flowed under the moonlight, silver light shimmering.

The shadow stood with hands behind its back on the river’s surface, slightly bobbing with the water, mysterious and profound.

Swish—

In the air, Jiang Dali’s figure leapt down, his long black cloak flapping violently in the wind, following him as he descended, its end dipping into the river water.

"Black Wind Village Chief, Jiang Dali..."

The middle-aged man stood with hands behind his back, a mysterious smile playing at his lips, and said calmly, "I never thought, young man, you broke through to the Returning to Truth Realm so quickly. It seems some of my plans might need adjusting for you."

"What plans?"

Jiang Dali stared at the slightly balding, burly middle-aged man opposite him and said in a deep voice, "You actually know Dragon God Skill? Are you a member of the Long Family?

As I understand, this Divine Skill is a heritage cultivation technique of the Long Family. The only ones who can wield this skill are the Tong Family’s Clan Leader and members of the Long Family."

Though he spoke these words outwardly, Jiang Dali inwardly surmised the man’s identity through his evil aura-filled exterior traits.

Among the Tong Family and Long Family, there were likely only two or three experts possessing the Returning to Truth Realm strength according to ancient records.

But those two or three might have already died, and whether from the pacifist Tong Family members or the righteous Long Family members, none could be as filled with evil aura as the middle-aged man before him, like a devil reborn.

If the person before him truly was the one only mentioned in ancient legends, considered not even human, then this affair of helping Li Shimin secure the throne would indeed be a major trouble.

"Hehehe..."

The middle-aged man’s face showed some surprise as he calmly said, "You actually know so much about the Tong Family and Long Family? Truly surprising to me, but given that you’ve been in contact with Tong Yuan of the Feng Clan, you surely investigated the Tong and Long Families afterward. What a pity..."

The middle-aged man’s expression carried a sense of lament and solitude, "What a pity, I’m not from those two families, just a pitiful person expelled from home."

Jiang Dali’s expression changed slightly: "It’s you? Undying Yin Zhong?"

The middle-aged man became more surprised, eyes filled with extraordinary gleam as he stared at Jiang Dali, and said in a low voice, "You actually know my name? The Undying... The Undying... Hehehe, I truly am a pitiful undying person."

Jiang Dali’s heart shook violently, quickly gathering all his Essence Qi, eyes fixed on the seemingly middle-aged, yet unknowably ancient old monster before him, coldly said, "Unexpected that the high-level expert supporting Crown Prince Li Jiancheng is you. What conspiracy are you plotting?"

"Conspiracy?"

Yin Zhong’s eyes revealed an indescribable deep sorrow and self-mockery, "I have lived countless years, yet life has been filled with pain and endless loneliness. No matter how hard I try, it seems I only bring misery to those around me. I only hope my loved ones can stay by my side. Is this considered a conspiracy?"

"Hmm?"

Jiang Dali’s eyes slightly narrowed, sensing Yin Zhong’s state was noticeably imbalanced, with his emotions fluctuating intensely, at times giving off a feeling of a lonely and kind old man, and at other times emanating a sinister, ruthless evil aura.

This state made him speculate further; perhaps the current Tong Family had developed completely differently from the accounts in ancient records.

"Young one."

Yin Zhong’s eyes suddenly turned sinister and cold, locking onto Jiang Dali like dark lamps, said, "I don’t wish to be your enemy, nor do I wish for anyone to die because of me, nor the Martial World to rise in bloodshed again. If you abandon supporting Li Shimin, when Li Jiancheng secures the throne, whatever Li Shimin can offer you, I can promise on behalf of Li Jiancheng to give."

"Oh?"

Jiang Dali’s heart stirred, noticing that a task message prompt appeared on the panel.

However, regarding Yin Zhong’s request, he quickly made a judgment within his mind — he couldn’t agree.

He never liked handing over the initiative to others.

Not to mention that this Yin Zhong in front of him acted with such evil intent, full of uncertainty; even if it were stable, between such a strong figure and Li Shimin, asking who is easier to control and who to pin hopes on, the answer is obvious.

After all, what he wanted wasn’t as simple as just a throne; he also needed to establish a formidable force within Tang Country, unwilling to have a ferocious tiger glaring from beside him.

Jiang Dali composed himself, arms crossed, speaking calmly, "I can offer the same conditions to you. As long as you abandon support for Li Jiancheng, I can guarantee that once Li Shimin ascends, whatever you desire can be granted to you. Now you can tell me, what exactly do you want?"

As he finished speaking, a strong curiosity arose within him, puzzled by why this old monster suddenly sought interests within the Imperial Family of Tang Country.

Yin Zhong’s eyes flashed, smiling with composure, "It seems you want to hold the initiative. Indeed, young people are quite spirited. To make me abandon support for Li Jiancheng is possible, but by speaking through power.

We both know that killing each other isn’t certain. If it’s possible to ’Point to Stop’ and resolve the matter without damaging harmony, then that would indeed be the best way to coexist."

"Agreed?"

Jiang Dali was surprised inwardly, feeling that this Yin Zhong, who claimed to be the Undying, had unpredictably evil ways.

However, what the other said indeed made sense.

Both are in the Returning to Truth Realm, with one boasting invincible Cross Training and the other an Undying Body; truly fighting would make killing each other quite difficult. There’s no need to become life-and-death enemies because of it.

After all, merely Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin aren’t qualified to turn these two top Returning to Truth Realm experts into mortal foes.

If each could take what they need under suitable conditions, then certainly both would be pleased.

Even when obtaining what they need, it’s exactly about speaking through power to determine who gains the initiative and who can obtain more benefits in the future, which is only natural.

Immediately, Jiang Dali nodded at Yin Zhong, saying, "Good, there’s no enmity between us. Resolving this kind of interest dispute really can ’Point to Stop’, but what exactly do you want, you can say it openly now."

Yin Zhong laughed heartily, "Young man, you are too confident. What I want still depends on whether you can win against me first."

The moment he finished speaking, Yin Zhong moved his foot, his figure suddenly submerged in the water, moving like flowing clouds and water without the slightest hindrance or stagnation, not even stirring water splashes.

Jiang Dali focused entirely on observing each of Yin Zhong’s movements, from the foot’s move to the sinking below the water, the coordination of the eyes, waist strength, etc., he missed no details.

Yet until Yin Zhong submerged, he failed to find any flaw within Yin Zhong’s naturally harmonious movements, all were impeccable.

All of these seem lengthy in narration, yet in fact, Yin Zhong in less than half a breath had merged like a drop into the vast river waters, even his aura and Primordial Spirit were undetectable, as if he utterly vanished.

Even with Jiang Dali’s soul-locking Primordial Spirit, he was unable to lock onto the opponent’s aura or position, as if the other had in that instant Body and Soul Destroyed, vanishing entirely.

"No wonder he’s lived for more than five hundred years as the Undying!"

Jiang Dali suddenly closed his eyes, his Vajra Yuan Qi rising strongly, his whole body looming with Demonic Qi, entering the sensory state of the 9th level Demon Intent.

He knew Yin Zhong’s disappearance wasn’t true vanishing but a deception created using the Power of Primordial Spirit.

It’s a method produced by experts who reached the Returning to Truth Realm adept at utilizing Primordial Spirit Power, able to deceive ghosts and gods, confound minds.

For the weak, such a method once deployed, even standing right before you, you wouldn’t see them, as if your eyes completely became ornaments.

Jiang Dali naturally wouldn’t be so severely deceived, yet he was also aware merely relying on eyes, ears, nose, and other senses to trace the opponent’s whereabouts was sheer delusion, for by the time these senses captured the messages and relayed them to the brain, it was already too late.

At this moment under the demon’s sensory state, his grasp on the surrounding matters was even clearer and detailed, even the river’s flow speed seemed to slow, the wind blowing to his side also appeared to decelerate.

This wasn’t time slowing, but his cognitive reaction speed rapidly increased under the 9th level Demon Intent state.

The night wind blew more fiercely, the river surface waves surging.

Suddenly, some electric light emerged on the horizon, as if clouds were gathering.

Among the vast waves, only Jiang Dali stood solitary on the water surface, swaying with the waves, at this moment his spirit completely serene, his heartbeat nearly matched with the wave’s rhythm, forming a wave-like heart rate line.

At this moment, strange wave fluctuations suddenly came from the left rear, quickly reaching the right rear, like a disorderly wave intruding the heart rate line, mingling within disharmony, wave collisions seeming to gather momentum, condensing, and charging ahead.

This was the precursor to Yin Zhong’s action.

With a reverberating roar!

A massive dragon-shaped wave suddenly surged, the air surrounding instantly evacuated, pulled, engulfing everything from all directions towards Jiang Dali’s back, encompassing all around with no escape.

Anyone faced with this sudden attack as if sourced from Hell, would likely be caught off guard and crushed to dust.

Yet Jiang Dali remained stable, standing firmly on the water surface, his cloak billowing, the long-prepared Vajra Yuan Qi swiftly expanded across his entire body, maneuvering with a retreating step, following through by launching an elbow like a bullet, side-striking with force.

Vroom!!

His entire body instantly shined with splendid golden light, every strand of hair like spun from golden threads, a gigantic circle of atmospheric pressure beneath his elbow thrust created a muffled boom, clashing fiercely against the dragon water wave...
