"Damn it, to think so little of us!"
"Sisters, show him what we’ve got!"
The whole squad of female players turned into mountain bandits, all boiling with rage.
Jiang Dali waved his hand, "Step back for now, I still have questions for him."
Upon hearing this, the female players didn’t dare to disobey and each cast a fierce glare at the ragged-haired swordsman, holding their short axes and short knives as they retreated.
In the tent, Jiang Dali frowned as he looked at the ragged-haired swordsman who had committed suicide, and then glanced at the two incomplete secret manuals in his hand, murmuring a sigh of regret.
He had never expected that the man would be so staunchly defiant, choosing death over submission.
Before he could prevent it, during the interrogation, the man shattered his own heart meridian and died.
Such a condition, even if he had learned the Divine Light Scripture, would be beyond saving, at best maintaining his life for only a brief moment.
"It seems this man unwittingly came upon the true teachings of the Mad Taoist, the ’Madman’s Secret Manual’. It appears he didn’t know the ’Innate Unlimited Thunder and Lightning Qi Technique’ or perhaps only understood the very basics. However, his ’Thunder and Lightning Sword Technique’ was quite proficiently practiced.
It’s a pity we couldn’t get out of him where exactly he obtained the manual from, or if there was any clue to the whereabouts of the ’Innate Unlimited Thunder and Lightning Qi Technique’."
Jiang Dali put away the two incomplete secret manuals and clapped his hands, whereupon his subordinates outside the tent came in to collect the corpse.
Compared to the ’Longevity Technique’, he was more interested in the ’Madman’s Secret Manual’ obtained by the ragged-haired swordsman.
This manual, created by the Mad Taoist, consisted of three parts.
Fully combined, it was a Heavenly Rank Martial Arts (not a secret technique).
The first part details the ’Innate Unlimited Thunder and Lightning Qi Technique’.
Once practiced to the Fifth Realm, one’s qi could form an invisible barrier around the body, impervious to all poisons. Deadly hidden weapons aimed at internal strength would fail to harm even a single hair, and one could shock enemies with qi, injure with the flight of petals, and point acupoints from a distance.
With diligent practice, one could achieve a state of Upper Level profundity, attaining a rejuvenation of youth.
The middle part was the ’Thunder and Lightning Sword Technique’, which when practiced to the Eighth Realm of Divine Transformation, could launch attacks from thin air, with power as fierce as thunder and lightning. At a distance of twenty paces, by circulating the previously learned Innate Unlimited Thunder and Lightning Qi throughout the body, one could control the sword from a hundred paces away, seizing a person’s head as easily as reaching into a bag.
This sword technique, clearly, was at most practiced by the ragged-haired swordsman to the fourth or fifth realm, but even so, he could be considered skilled.
The last part of the ’Madman’s Secret Manual’ was the ’Thunder and Lightning Palm’, consisting of eight moves. Each of the eight moves, when combined with the Innate Unlimited Thunder and Lightning Qi Technique, possessed supreme power. Although not as robust and uncast as ’Dragon Subduing Twenty-Eight Palm’, they were quicker and more fierce.
Unfortunately, the incomplete manuals obtained from the ragged-haired swordsman only contained the ’Thunder and Lightning Sword Technique’ and ’Thunder and Lightning Palm’, and the core ’Innate Unlimited Thunder and Lightning Qi Technique’ was missing altogether.
Without the core ’Innate Unlimited Thunder and Lightning Qi Technique’, the ’Madman’s Secret Manual’ was greatly diminished in value, even less than an ordinary Earthly Rank Martial Arts, and for Jiang Dali, held only reference value.
"The Mixed Martial Arts World is indeed worthy of its name; the world has undergone many variances not recorded in ancient texts.
The death of Ah Da at the hands of Ximen Chuixue is such a variance. The fact that the Mad Taoist’s disciple somehow joined forces with Shuanglong is another... Yet to the end I still didn’t know his name, which is a sorrow in itself."
Jiang Dali stepped out of the tent and looked up at the Heavenly Vault, but saw no trace of Demon Hawk.
It was unclear where Demon Hawk had gone after chasing Shuanglong.
But this bird was quite spiritual and would judge situations on its own.
Should it successfully track and find the right moment, it would return by itself, no need to worry.
It was just that Ting Shui, the Master of Tyrant Hall tied to the hawk’s back, might have to suffer a bit more from the elements.
Just then, Jiang Dali suddenly heard an earth-shattering tiger roar, like a cannon exploding, which abruptly interrupted his thoughts.
"Hmm? Is that Black Tiger General?"
Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed as he looked ahead.
He saw the newly recruited subordinate, Black Tiger General, actually riding on a glossy black-furred Black Tiger, engaging in a fight with several Martial World people wielding large sabers.
This situation was quite unexpected.
He had just finished asserting his dominance, and yet someone was causing trouble on his turf again?
