Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 772 - 0616: Light as a feather, heavy as needed! What is defying the heavens!? (Guaranteed - asking for monthly tickets)
"Whoosh!——"
The treasure sword on Song Que’s back, ancient in design and exceptionally heavy, was drawn out; it appeared to be a massive blade, simple and dusky, weighing a hundred catties.
Merely by looking at the surface material of this sword, it seemed somewhat similar to the Dragon Slayer Sword.
Song Que stood above the waves like a Heavenly God, his spirit highly concentrated, with a forty-zhang Heaven and Earth Power swirling around and clinging to his body, causing his clothes to flutter without wind.
He held the scabbard in his left and the sword in his right, slowly raised the sword, and said to Jiang Dali with a pleased expression, "People in the Martial World only know my Daffodil by my waist to be the Heavenly Blade, but in truth, this is the sword with which I, I have roamed the world undefeated."
"Oh?"
Jiang Dali looked calmly at the heavy sword in Song Que’s hand and nodded slightly, "This sword appears much heavier than the effeminate Daffodil you used before.
But with this heavy sword, you, Song Que, couldn’t be intending to clash head-on with the village chief, could you?"
"Indeed!"
Song Que’s eyes shot out electric sparks, and he said word by word, "Ten years ago, I had already comprehended the saber skill of lifting heavy as if light, and lifting light as if heavy. Since then, I abandoned the Heavenly Blade and switched to the lighter Daffodil.
But today, I take up the Heavenly Blade again, just for a true and uninhibited battle with you, Black Wind Village Chief!
This battle is a surprise, an unexpected delight, I never thought I would use the Heavenly Blade when I came here today!"
Jiang Dali replied coldly, "If a sword is not used, what use is it?"
"Well said!"
Song Que laughed loudly, his figure moved, and he casually swung his sword.
In an instant, a pitch-black Saber Qi, wrapped in the forty-zhang Heaven and Earth Power, suddenly erupted, like a python crawling slowly in mid-air, drawn leisurely towards Jiang Dali.
Though described as slow, the sword had reached a speed that made it feel incredibly slow.
At least, to the countless onlookers outside, Song Que seemed to leap up suddenly, his entire body like a statue surging toward Jiang Dali, the great sword in his hand looking like a stationary black line streaking towards Jiang Dali.
However, in Jiang Dali’s eyes, Song Que’s sword had already reached an inconceivable speed, like a black bolt of lightning moving at high velocity.
Even the sword seemed to hang like an antelope’s horn – with neither beginning nor end, enveloping the momentum of Heaven and Earth to block all escape routes, leaving no choice but to clash head-on!
"Clashing head-on!? Was the purpose of your sword just to be superfluous? When have I ever avoided confrontation!?"
Jiang Dali’s eyes shone brightly and he dashed forward like a dragon, the Dragon Slayer Broken Blade reached his head, chopping down violently, and stopping at chest level.
Boom!!——
Fierce Saber Qi tore through the waves, like a blazing golden lightning burst through a cloud, slamming into Song Que’s Saber Light.
However, a shocking change occurred.
In the instance when the ferocious golden Saber Qi collided with Song Que’s black Saber Light.
The Saber Light suddenly changed, like dozens of serpentine blades creating curved Saber Qi, attacking Jiang Dali from both sides.
Boom!!
The water’s surface was split open by Jiang Dali’s fierce Saber Qi, carving a huge gash like a pathway.
Song Que’s serpent-like Saber Qi had already passed by, striking heavily onto the hurriedly blocked broken blade of Jiang Dali.
The sound of clashing metal erupted.
Jiang Dali’s body was thrown backward and struck against the waves, he was knocked back rapidly, spraying fresh blood.
"Master Jiang, take this strike!"
Song Que roared like a diving bird, chopping down fiercely again.
Clang! With a loud explosion!
The two blades touched and froze mid-air.
Jiang Dali’s body was directly slammed into the waves.
But a destructive force also burst forth from within him, instantly shaking Song Que into a forced retreat as he was flung into the air.
Flying upwards in that instant, Song Que struck again, incessantly channeling True Qi, Saber Qi ferociously attacking Jiang Dali from all angles in the water.
For a moment, the heavy blade in Song Que’s hands, plain and dusky in appearance and weighing a hundred catties, was both as heavy as ten thousand catties and as light as a feather, resembling strange serpents, making it impossible to grasp.
Jiang Dali’s continuous exchanges with him over more than a dozen rounds only made him feel that the heavy blade was sometimes light, sometimes heavy, becoming heavier, as if it could split him and his sword at any moment.
When light, it only made him uncomfortable, even in his Destruction State he couldn’t gain the upper hand, only able to cope with fierce power.
This was truly a mastery of swordsmanship on an incredible level.
Song Que’s heavy blade was as if made of water.
Water can crash with heavy force,
Or flow gently and continuously.
What’s more precious is every strike infused with Heaven and Earth Power, effortlessly invoking the power of Heaven and Earth to strike the enemy.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Dali felt that no matter how his saber force changed or positions and angles altered, his several moves had now become useless; sooner or later, they would be sealed by Song Que, even anticipated and broken through in advance.
In the eyes of a large number of onlookers not far away, all they could see was Song Que’s figure surrounding Jiang Dali, attacking him back and forth like black lightning.
And Jiang Dali’s multiple counterattacks would be either dodged by Song Que as he avoided the heavy blows, or repelled by the same heavy blade.
As this continued.
Jiang Dali had gained a few more wounds on his body, his Qi-Blood finally began to drop below two-thirds, starting to fall below half.
"This is bad."
On the ship, Wang Yuyan looked intensely concerned and stared at the battlefield, saying, "Master Song’s saber skill has reached the realm of lifting heavy as if light, and lifting light as if heavy. Every strike freely transitions between light and heavy.
With the village chief merely relying on brute strength to exchange blows, it’s easy to be neutralized by Master Song.
Even every time the village chief’s unrestrained saber strikes miss, it will cause disruption in his inner breath.
In the long run, Master Song will find an opportunity and strike him down!"
Beside her, Murong Qingqing’s expression slightly changed, "What do we do now? How can we help him?"
Wang Yuyan slowly shook her head, "We can’t help him, now it’s up to him. Whether it’s lifting heavy as if light or lifting light as if heavy, they are all just tactics and techniques.
In the face of absolute power, all tactics and tricks are mere paper tigers.
I’m not worried about his safety; with the Cross Training Divine Skill, he can surely emerge unscathed. I’m just concerned that if he fails to perform the Heaven-breaking Saber, it might set back his progress in the Sword Dao!"
Upon hearing that Jiang Dali wasn’t in any danger, Murong Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and rolled her eyes at Wang Yuyan, deliberately dragging out her words, "Our village chief’s Miss Wang, you seem to have many concerns, but they’re all~for~the~sake~of~the~village~chief, right?"
Wang Yuyan’s face flushed, but she kept her eyes firmly fixed on the battle above the river, unwilling to relax, as if she were even more anxious than the two men fighting.
A clang erupted!
Jiang Dali’s broken blade burst forth with Saber Qi, like a dam-bursting deluge charging through a breach, set to destroy everything in its path.
Song Que’s saber skill shifted, making no attempt to block directly. Instead, he swept out with another stroke that was both mighty and robust, as well as nimble and enigmatic, leaving no trace.
"Clang"!
The Heavenly Blade swept out in an arc, generating a massive suction force that firmly gripped Jiang Dali’s Dragon Slayer Broken Blade, moving it aside along with his figure.
"Master Jiang, although you’re brave and unrivaled, you still have a significant flaw: no matter the attack, you can unleash but cannot retract."
Song Que, his toes tapping on the waves, laughed heartily, "Your saber technique is fundamentally simplistic; I have seen through all its variations.
Every one of your strokes is delivered with all your strength, and I can easily redirect that power, followed by a heavier and stronger counterattack.
Because you don’t understand skill, and you don’t understand how to adapt to changes.
I ask you, you—how can you defy the heavens?!"
As Song Que spoke, his wrist flipped agilely, executing several variations in his Saber Qi to break through the offensive and close in on Jiang Dali’s side.
A slash hissed across Jiang Dali, tearing a deep gash, preparing to pull back.
But in that instant—
An incredible, intense absorption force suddenly burst forth from Jiang Dali’s broken blade.
Song Que felt the Heavenly Blade in his hand, blocked against the broken one, suddenly sink heavily, as if it were iron caught by a magnet, impossible to pull away.
Even the True Qi within his body was being drained, startling him with terror; goosebumps rose all over his body and his complexion turned red.
"You saw through my variations, but did you think I hadn’t seen through yours?"
Jiang Dali sneered coldly, "I do not understand variations, nor do I understand how to withdraw power. But I dare you to take on the strength of nearly four decads of my effort!"
With a roar, Jiang Dali suddenly pulled back his strength, yanking on the broken blade.
Hiss-la—
A chain of sparks erupted between the clashing blades, creating a series of flame tongues.
The Dragon Slayer Broken Blade cleaved toward Song Que’s head, its momentum like the sun at high noon, illuminating the earth, with an aura of life and death even more terrifying than the sensation of destruction bursting forth.
Song Que, caught off guard and unable to steady his qi, desperately raised his treasure sword to block.
A resounding clang of thunderous explosion echoed!
A ring of fierce Saber Qi energy waves burst forth from the intersection of the two blades.
Song Que let out a cry of pain; the web of his right hand split open, the force of Heaven and Earth in his long sword directly shattered, his sleeve torn to pieces by the explosive impact, and his body plummeted into the water, knees sinking beneath the surface.
Before he could catch his breath,
Boom!—
Gale-force winds whipped up waves, and an even more ferocious and domineering blade strike, brimming with an aura of life and death, thundered down like lightning from the sky!
The roar of Jiang Dali’s voice was like thunder splitting the heavens!
"I have strength to spare, here’s some more for you to borrow!!!"
"Ah!!!—"
Song Que cried out loudly, his treasure blade thrusting upward swiftly, "Ding"! It hit the weakest point of the Dragon Slayer Broken Blade, aiming to redirect the force.
However, a torrential power surged as if a Demon Dragon were sealed within that very strike.
The moment Song Que’s treasure sword barely touched it, not even having the chance to redirect the force, his body was struck by lightning, his arm bones emitted a terrible cracking sound, and his skin tore with a sizzle.
A wave of life-and-death Saber Qi pierced through his body; Song Que was directly slammed into the water, quickly sinking further down.
He nearly exhausted all the Essence Qi within his meridians just to mitigate the life-and-death Saber Qi that had surged into his body.
But in that instant, suddenly, a dazzling Golden Light flashed from somewhere above the water’s surface.
A robust silhouette wielding a broken blade, like a meteor plunging into the water, his arm muscles bulging like iron, swung out another strike!
Hum!!
The waves parted as if sliced open by a ten-zhang-long enormous shears.
A vast and blazing Yang God Power, together with the potent life-and-death Saber Qi, cleaved through the waves, rushing forth.
"Let me show you what it means to defy the heavens!"
From amidst the waves, a muffled sound like rolling thunder, akin to the rumble of a chariot’s wheel, vibrated through the water.
Song Que, his arms already numb and weak, his entire frame having been shaken apart by that blow was now left with no choice but to let out a furious roar and sweep his sword across in interception, executing an archaic and unremarkable stoke.
Clang!—
The ripples burst asunder.
Blood mist swept through the splashing waves, diluting, dispersing!
Song Que’s figure sank like a ruptured sack, shedding torrents of blood as he plummeted.
Zheng—
A black piece of the treasure sword was the first to sink to the riverbed, embedding itself into the mud; the other piece had already vanished...
