Chapter 1879 - 1448–1449: Brothers United! I Want to Go Home Clean and Unblemished (Extended - )

A little more than half an hour later.

Amidst the sound of piercing the air like cannonballs whistling past, Jiang Dali’s majestic figure appeared like a Demon God, clutching a disheveled, sparsely haired little old man, tearing through layers of mist, suddenly appearing before Zhu Wushi.

"Brother Jiang!"

Zhu Wushi’s expression trembled as he watched Jiang Dali leaping through the fierce wind, and suddenly threw his head back, laughing, "You truly are safe and sound."

"Mr. Zhu! It’s actually you!"

Jiang Dali, with a startled expression, glanced at the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber in Zhu Wushi’s hand, a rare smile appearing on his face.

"Whoosh!"

Zhu Wushi released his grip, and the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber traced a beautiful arc, like a trail of flame, actively soaring towards Jiang Dali.

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, casually tossing the little old man to the ground, and grabbed the fiery green handle of the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber. Instantly, the entire blade surged with flames, emitting a wild and eerie glow, like showcasing its latent power!

Even though it had lost the Breaking Realm Pearl, this treasure sword, fused with the Reverse Scale of the Fire Qilin Sword and many other divine weapons, remained a peerlessly fierce weapon, comparable to the Snow Drink Mad Saber, its might not to be underestimated.

It’s just a pity that Jiang Dali was also aware that in comparison to his increasingly strong non-human physique, which even surpassed the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber, the sword to him had become more emotional than practical... much like how Dugu Qiubai abandoned Ziwei and the Mystical Iron Heavy Sword, not because he had no feelings for these swords, but rather because these swords, in terms of his increasingly refined swordsmanship skills, had lost their practical utility and instead became a hindrance against top-level experts of the same or even higher tier.

"Brother Jiang! When I was fighting against the Earth Crystal Core, I sensed you were being pursued by Moluo. Now that you are safe, that Moluo must be dead?"

Zhu Wushi stood on the hillside, smiling, looking at Jiang Dali leisurely.

Jiang Dali casually executed a flourish and sheathed the saber, shaking his head with eyes showing a cold gleam, "That Moluo, indeed, is a thousand-year-old monster, cunning and treacherous. We used each other, but ultimately I fell into his trap, severely injured by the Earth Intent, and pursued by him, only to narrowly escape."

This statement caused Zhu Wushi’s expression to change.

In this world, it’s always been the case that this person is the one pursuing others, yet this time he found himself in such dire straits, pursued instead. Clearly, that Moluo truly deserved to be Dharma’s evil thought, his means incredibly formidable.

Jiang Dali frowned and said, "Since you exchanged blows with the Earth Crystal Core, you must have entered through the Earth Intent. Earlier, Moluo and I joined forces to heavily wound the Earth Intent. Throughout this period, everything was calm, but I didn’t expect the Earth Intent still had strength left? Did you encounter the Leader of the Four Great Strange People?"

"The Leader of the Four Great Strange People? Are you referring to the four human faces inside the Earth Crystal Core?"

Suddenly, Zhu Wushi’s mind flashed with insight, eyes showing surprise, and a look of realization, "So, the one controlling the Earth Crystal Core is actually the leader among the Abnormal People? No wonder they possess such peculiar traits."

"There’s a long story behind this. We can discuss it along the way. Right now, our urgent task is to leave the Sky Abyss."

As Jiang Dali spoke, he suddenly paused.

Because he had already sensed a change in Zhu Wushi’s expression and felt a familiar vibration emanating from Zhu Wushi.

"Earth Intent?"

Jiang Dali’s expression was filled with astonishment.

"Indeed!"

Zhu Wushi’s face revealed a smile, and his eyes released the brilliance representing Earth Intent, saying, "Brother Jiang, thanks to your reminder in the secret letter about devouring the Heavenly Will, when I came to assist you this time, after consulting with Senior Xiao and others, we decided to boldly attempt to devour the Earth Intent. In the end, we succeeded!"

Jiang Dali’s tiger eyes widened slightly, as various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Zhu Wushi smiled with his hands behind his back, saying, "Entering this Sky Abyss, apart from rescuing you, was actually also my initiative to enter, aiming to gain a deeper understanding of the Earth Intent.

Seeing you safe and sound now, I can continue to devour the Earth Intent with peace of mind...

Since I came in here, numerous pieces of information about the Earth Intent started flooding into my mind. Now I can even vaguely sense the presence of the Earth Intent, like...the Abnormal Leaders you mentioned, they should be monitoring us with a portion of the Earth Intent.

Also, there are others, parts of the Earth Intent not controlled by them, still scattered throughout the Sky Abyss..."

Jiang Dali’s eyes focused, only realizing now that those secretly monitoring them were the Earth Intent controlled by Abnormal People, not Guang Chengzi, but this wasn’t the current priority, he spoke solemnly, "Are you saying, you don’t want to leave the Sky Abyss? You wish to remain here to devour the Earth Intent? No way! It’s too dangerous."

"Brother Jiang."

Zhu Wushi proudly smiled, saying, "I have been roaming the Martial World for so many years, experiencing countless life-and-death battles, why should I now be more powerful than ever yet become timid and fearful of challenges?"

Jiang Dali’s face turned steely, suddenly sensing that Zhu Wushi had changed.

It’s as if he returned to being the ambitious and lofty Iron Gall Divine Hou of the past.

But does a man, especially like Zhu Wushi, have ambition is wrong?

Of course not.

Then what is the source of his worry and anxiety?

Isn’t the path of devouring Heavenly Will and Earth Intent the one he had long pointed out for Zhu Wushi?

"Brother Jiang! No need to worry!"

As if reading the message in Jiang Dali’s expression, Zhu Wushi laughed heartily, confidence overflowing, "You’re worried I’ll be blinded by power, indeed an unavoidable concern. After all, how mighty is the Earth Intent? For me to attempt devouring it is akin to a small stream trying to contain the ocean. Isn’t it more likely that the ocean will swallow the stream?"
