Chapter 2005 - 1524: Time-Space Distorted Corridor, Rematch with the Sword Demon!

Tap—Tap—

Jiang Dali’s sturdy black boots stomped on the ground, his figure shifted from a rapid sprint to a slow walk. The transition from extreme speed to sudden slow was so sudden yet natural, without the slightest buffer in between.

However, in reality, the immense impact had already transferred to the ground, causing the ground beneath his feet, paved with hard stone bricks, to crack into pieces.

Seeing Ling Yun fleeing, Dugu Qiubai stood in front of him and did not stop him.

At this moment, Dugu Qiubai’s battle intent and sword intent were so strongly locked onto him, transforming into a shocking pressure that assaulted his chest, interacting with his Qi mechanism.

Without defeating the opponent, it was obvious that not to mention pursuing Ling Yun, even entering the Human Emperor Tower was impossible.

Jiang Dali halted his steps, standing twenty zhang away from Dugu Qiubai. The cloak behind him, which had been shattered, slowly fell to the ground, covering his robust and muscular build. His tiger-like eyes fixed on Dugu Qiubai, he calmly said, "Isn’t it a bit early to engage in a life and death battle with me now? And isn’t the place chosen a bit too dangerous?"

Dugu Qiubai faintly smiled and uttered three words, "Are you scared?"

Jiang Dali narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth curving into a cold, cruel smile, "It seems after I severely injured you last time, you have forgotten the pain."

Dugu Qiubai’s thin lips, sharp as a blade, slightly pressed together, then he laughed, "Last time, your condition seemed worse than mine. I’m actually surprised you survived."

Jiang Dali crossed his arms over his chest, his face covered in black, gold, and white hues exuded an arrogant, disdainful expression, "You didn’t talk so much nonsense before."

As soon as the words fell.

Their four eyes locked, like thunder and fire clashing.

It seemed as though a deep thunder suddenly exploded in the void, violently reverberating and colliding in the unseen mental world.

Rumble—

The ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly, and gusts of wind suddenly emerged, as if two fierce auras were colliding and pushing against each other, causing stones and dust on the ground to float, swirling around the two of them.

Suddenly—

Dugu Qiubai’s eyes shot out two piercing beams of sword light like lightning.

These two will-powered eye swords followed unusual curving trajectories and attacked Jiang Dali. Although this happened in a flash, the will-powered sword light changed directions multiple times, and then suddenly accelerated, making the will-powered attack more potent. But in essence, it all happened in the blink of Dugu Qiubai’s eyes.

In that moment.

Jiang Dali sensed the danger, similar to when he broke through the realm and was assailed by the Heavenly Will, unavoidable, and it seemed that even his spiritual will might be pierced by a sword. He let out a cold snort, and dazzling golden light appeared in his eyes, transforming the will in his gaze into a blade, suddenly striking out.

With the momentum of sweeping thousands of armies, like thousands of troops and horses galloping, Taishan pressing, slashing towards the sword light, with a murderous chill that made one’s heart and soul tremble.

Boom!!—

The clash of two powerful wills exploded like waves, the aftermath of the spiritual will spread, causing confusion and illusions to arise in people’s minds, and a splitting headache.

Both of their bodies trembled, their eyes dimming from bright.

The contest was evenly matched.

Dugu Qiubai’s broad and long palm gripped the hilt of the sword on his chest, still with a strange smile on his lips, he gazed at Jiang Dali and said, "Your will didn’t strengthen just now; you missed the opportunity I gave you!"

Jiang Dali, of course, understood what the other meant. It implied he hadn’t entered the Insight State to heavily wound him, and he immediately snorted harshly, "Why would I, a Marquis, need you to give opportunities?"

Dugu Qiubai laughed heartily, his demeanor gleefully mad, suddenly looking up and shouting with a thunderous roar, "You shouldn’t have forced the Wan Family to death!"

His longsword unsheathed, in an instant like a silver dragon leaping horizontally through the sky, carrying a cold glint, stirring up a dense cloud of silvery lightning, striking towards Jiang Dali like lightning.

Jiang Dali immediately saw this was just a diversion, sneering, suddenly flexing and extending his arms. A thick, golden Golden Bell Shield suddenly appeared outside his body, and his legs stomped fiercely, moving his body.

Clang clang clang!—

The Golden Bell Shield shook violently; the densely packed silvery sword light struck the golden reef-like shield like waves, shattering into pieces.

With the Yellow Emperor’s Luck backing him, the ordinary sword qi unleashed by Dugu Qiubai could no longer pose a real threat to Jiang Dali.

Suddenly, amidst the cover of countless dense silvery sword light, a fierce and powerful sword qi attacked from a tricky angle, the air seemingly vacuumed, then condensed, the sword qi formed by nurturing mother qi transformed into a ferocious beast ready to devour.

Qi Breaking Style!

Bang!—

The thick Golden Bell Shield was instantly torn and shattered.

But in that moment, a gigantic golden fist as large as a house suddenly struck, clashing instantly with the sword light formed by the mother qi of all things.

With a roar, a ring-shaped shockwave rippled out.

The enormous Illusion Soul Gold Fist shattered under the Qi Breaking Style sword, yet in the next moment, a large hand entwined with three colors of thick energy wave suddenly reached out, grabbing fiercely onto the sword qi formed by the nurturing mother qi.

Boom—

A tremendous burst of qi energy exploded.

The sword qi shattered upon impact, yet suddenly, more ever-changing densely packed sword qi, accompanied by Dugu Qiubai’s clear howl, attacked fiercely from all angles like it was everywhere.

Water!

Dugu Qiubai’s swordsmanship, like water, changed endlessly, strong when met with strength, weak when met with weakness. It handled weighty matters lightly and light matters heavily, unfettered by any form, often changing with the enemy, focusing neither on brute force nor agility, but like water, accepting all and embodying everything, this was the highest realm of swordsmanship.

Jiang Dali was prepared, the moment he crushed the mother qi of all things with one palm, his arms suddenly closed, bringing his palms together in a maintaining posture, an undulating qi wall appeared outside his body!

Solid as gold soup!

Clang clang clang!—

Countless sparks burst and erupted, the qi wall, not yet fully formed, was directly broken by sword qi as heavy as mountains and as dense as a forest.

Jiang Dali staggered in his steps, unable to maintain his posture, retreated a step, and immediately more densely packed sword qi slashed fiercely.

Dugu Qiubai’s gaze was cold and unyielding, expressionless, as the longsword in his hand transformed into a blur of sword shadow, frantically unleashing strikes like a furious tidal wave, completely submerging Jiang Dali.

Crunch crunch—

Crack crack crack—

The ground couldn’t bear the residual sword Qi, cracking violently. In the center of the sword Qi, the silhouette, enveloped like by a storm, remained unyielding, growing more terrifying the more injured it got and the more blows it endured.

Clang!—

Dugu Qiubai suddenly abandoned a favorable offensive move, hastily withdrawing his sword, resembling an extremely calm Assassin, retreating the moment a strike failed, sensing something amiss.

Almost at the instant he started retreating—

Boom boom boom!—

A highly compressed column of crimson fist powerful energy suddenly tore through layers of sword Qi, like a circular shockwave fiercely striking against Dugu Qiubai.

Dugu Qiubai swiftly positioned his sword horizontally.

A loud explosive bang erupted from the sword’s body, which bent abruptly at an alarming arc. A circle of shock waves exploded and scattered, the immense and terrifying force ruptured Dugu Qiubai’s tiger’s mouth, making him flip backward into the time-space distorted corridor behind him.

"You’ve fought enough! It’s my turn!"

Amidst heavy smoke and dust, Jiang Dali’s body charged forward like a Barbaric Beast.

His thick arms crossed, his clothes already torn apart by countless sword Qi, revealing a body of tightly knotted muscles, with tiny blood openings visible on his flesh but no blood flowed out, instead streams of golden flames surged.

Numerous complex black and golden patterns, accompanied by blinding white light unveiling the body’s ultimate potential, emerged on his towering figure, densely scattered, emitting a terrifying and mysterious aura, suddenly shot out like cannonballs, breaking through the sound barrier, instantly triggering a violent explosion in the air.

Clang—

Clang—

Boom!—

Fierce flames emitting high temperatures erupted and extinguished.

Two figures dashed into the time-space distorted corridor in an instant, fighting madly, their sword Qi rampaging alongside ferocious Qi force.

Dugu Qiubai retreated step by step, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, failing to deploy sword Qi infused with Nurturing Mother Qi. In terms of power, he couldn’t withstand Jiang Dali, who incorporated the Yellow Emperor’s Luck, each clash was a massive trial for his body as if hammered relentlessly by iron on a furnace.

Clang!!!

Another fierce punch engulfed in powerful currents struck the sword’s twisted snake-like body surrounding for protection, unleashing a circle of fierce high-temperature flames.

The sword’s body sank instantly, bouncing heavily onto Dugu Qiubai, the tremendous impact force blew him away.

Jiang Dali, like a ferocious missile head, arrogantly bombarded, chasing up again, both hands clenched together into an Iron Fist, hammering down accompanied by an angry shout:

"Is that all you’ve got? If you don’t unleash Emperor’s Sword Qi soon, you’ll die!!"

Bang thud!—

The ferocious hammering ripped apart Dugu Qiubai’s figure, instantly pounding the ground, instantly exploding into numerous spider-web-like cracked grooves, flames rampaging.

Afterimage!

Jiang Dali’s heart chilled as four unmatched speed sword lights assaulted like lightning, accurately striking his wide-open chest’s Danzhong acupoint from different angles.

Crack!—!

His chest bone snapped instantly, a rib fractured, the Danzhong acupoint subjected to such a fierce assault immediately scattered his breath, his body flew away.

Whistling—

Numerous sword lights fanatically pursued like missiles along trajectories, bombarding his body.

Dugu Qiubai, blood seeping from his mouth corners, became a flash of lightning immediately catching up, the longsword in his hand suddenly raised toward the sky, exhibiting a majestic atmosphere like the descent of the Emperor, educating the world with Sword Intent instantly gathered!

Yet suddenly amidst chaotic energy, a flash of Golden Light appeared, before Dugu Qiubai could react, a giant golden palm grabbed his body instantly, forcefully pounding it on the ground.

Bang!!—

The ground sunk and shattered, flames erupted, tons of fractured stones like arrows piercing the sky blanketing all around.

Dugu Qiubai, utterly dazed, raised a sword based purely on instinct, Emperor’s Sword Qi piercing swiftly toward a perceived dangerous spot.

Precisely, Jiang Dali appeared there, facing this terrifying Emperor’s Sword Qi head-on.

"Bastard!"

He suddenly gritted his teeth, stepped forward, a ring of spatial ripple emerged instantly at his feet.

Insight State!

Surrounding everything, including the approaching sword Qi, became incredibly slow instantly, decomposing into numerous tiny particles, seemingly tightly integrated and robust, no longer truly invincible, but... filled with vulnerabilities everywhere!
