Exiting his self-named Destruction State, Jiang Dali took a breath and felt a burning sensation in his chest, heavily influenced by the full force activation of the Nine Yang Marrying Robe Divine Skill.
Before the Nine Yang Divine Skill reached Great Success, it had the disadvantage of leaking Qi.
Before the dispersion of the Marriage Dress Divine Skill, every daily cultivation session brought searing pain.
However, the more robust one’s physique, the lesser the pain felt.
The pain endured by the Night Emperor’s wife while practicing this Divine Skill was much greater than that of men naturally robust like Yan Nantian.
Yet, even Yan Nantian’s naturally robust physique was not as strong as Jiang Dali’s, and Ting Shui, a player who learned this technique, was even more inferior.
Therefore, after feeling the fiery sensation in his chest, Jiang Dali suppressed it and did not experience further discomfort.
At this moment, he felt the inner Qi absorbed from the fat and lean monk replenishing him, and although he managed to sustain during the Destruction State, he didn’t lose Qi-Blood but instead felt a bit of hunger and weakness.
He was uncertain whether this was due to an advancement in the realm of the Nine Yang Marrying Robe Divine Skill or due to using the Absorption Star Technique.
He decided that he needed to further research and experiment later.
After feeling the remaining inner Qi in his body, Jiang Dali checked his panel.
After this intense battle, his inner Qi had dropped by over 3,000 but didn’t drain to one-eighth or below as before, which would cause a leaking of Nine Yang Qi.
However, his inner Qi limit had increased by 300, reaching a substantial 8,400 points.
This was clearly due to absorbing the fat and lean monk’s inner Qi.
Jiang Dali saw that his cultivation points had increased to 10,200 and his potential points had risen to 21,188.
With so many cultivation and potential points, he could further enhance the Nine Yang Marrying Robe Divine Skill.
But he chose not to do so for the time being.
His current state was stable, and with Lu Xiaofeng and others by his side, there was no need to risk a sudden breakthrough that could draw attention.
"Never thought that even Tang Sect’s experts would take action this time, bringing along the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, a formidable weapon, but too bad. They probably didn’t expect someone who could withstand the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle and still bounce around like you."
The voice of Lu Xiaofeng came through.
Jiang Dali looked towards the approaching figures of Lu Xiaofeng and Dongfang Bubai, "They placed too much confidence in the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle. This Hidden Weapon would definitely penetrate anyone else, but unfortunately, I’m not included."
Jiang Dali said this with absolute confidence.
Level 9 Iron Cloth Shirt combined with Level 6 Golden Body Skill and Level 5 Thirteen Grand Protectors Cross Training, along with Level 2 Sun and Moon Golden Bell Shield plus the protective Gang Qi special effect inherent to the Nine Yang Marrying Robe Divine Skill.
Lastly, he was the leader of a major power, bestowed with the Big Boss title, which provided a heavy health template.
The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle was indeed sharp.
But unless it hit critical spots like his eyes or heart, it would hardly cause him serious harm.
Lu Xiaofeng walked over to the battlefield and saw the scattered corpses, clicking his tongue and sighing, "To bring out the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, these two were definitely not unknowns, for sure key experts of the Tang Sect.
But... one got twisted like a pretzel, and one’s face got smashed like a pancake.
The other one exploded into something like mapo tofu.
It’s impossible to recognize who they were."
Jiang Dali glared, "I’m really hungry now, are you trying to ruin my appetite?"
Lu Xiaofeng laughed out loud, then looked at Dongfang Bubai with a solemn expression, "His poison injury is getting more severe, you need to hurry."
Jiang Dali also looked over and saw Dongfang Bubai’s skin had further developed red rashes, even showing some signs of ulceration.
This was clearly the sign of the Seven Skill Bone Dissolving Powder’s toxin fully activating.
Dongfang Bubai, however, remained calm, speaking faintly, "As long as I refrain from exerting myself severely, it will be fine. This toxin is indeed fierce.
Earlier I slightly used a bit of inner Qi, and the toxin took more territory in my body.
Now, I need to focus all my energy on protecting my vital organs from the invasion of the toxin."
"You have managed to hold on for this long without turning into a puddle of bone water, truly showing your Divine Skill’s excellence. It’s no wonder even people like Lin Pingzhi dared to come after you.
Now looking at this..."
Jiang Dali turned and exchanged glances with Lu Xiaofeng, both had figured out the answer.
Of course, Jiang Dali’s answer was clearer than Lu Xiaofeng’s.
Lu Xiaofeng could only guess roughly, but Jiang Dali knew the complete answer.
Because he had personally experienced the battle at Heimu Cliff.
Clearly, Lin Pingzhi and those from Tang Sect must have learned of Dongfang Bubai being afflicted with the Seven Skill Bone Dissolving Powder from someone.
Combining this with the recent rumors spreading throughout the Martial World of Jiang Dali taking Dongfang Bubai around seeking medical advice, they knew Dongfang Bubai’s condition was dire.
Thus, they had the guts to provoke.
And these people being able to find them must have also been aided by those who spread the news.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Jiang Dali, "It seems you know who it is... then I needn’t worry, you’re never one to suffer losses."
Jiang Dali smiled, "Of course I know who it is. These rats are well hidden. I’ve only managed to uncover some of them till now. If I knew the majority, I could make them suffer excruciatingly."
As he spoke, Jiang Dali’s eyes burned fiercely, his tone chilling.
Only a family power like the left alliance, combining the Jianghu Forum and hidden sources and contacts undisclosed in the Mixed Martial Arts World, could precisely track his location.
The involvement of Tang Sect’s people confirmed this further.
When the Master of Tyrant Hall, Ting Shui, battled him, he repeatedly used Tang Sect’s Hidden Weapon.
