046: Those Who Seek Death Have Their Way

"Courting death!"

Seeing that Jiang Dali still dared to charge at them of his own accord, anger flashed across Blood Finger Condensing Suan's face.

He suddenly snatched up the black greatbow beside him, nocked an arrow, and drew it wide!

Twang—

The bowstring shuddered!

The arrow tore through the air, kicking up a piercing blast of wind and a shrill whistle as it shot toward Jiang Dali...

Jiang Dali did not even blink. He casually swung the Nine-Ringed Golden Saber in his hand.

Clang!

The arrow was knocked flying at once.

In his previous life, he had been a Gang Qi Realm expert who roamed the martial world unchecked. If he could not even evade a mere arrow, then Jiang Dali would have lived for nothing.

Almost at the instant he knocked aside the arrow, the Dayuan Horse carried him charging closer, leaving only fifty paces between the two sides.

Jiang Dali raised his right hand.

A willow-leaf throwing knife split into dozens of black specks, swooping toward the Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold bandits like life-reaping locusts amid a series of whooshes.

The Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold bandits saw the concealed weapons flying at their faces and were caught completely off guard. Several of them were struck immediately.

"Motherfucker, dodge!"

The others hurriedly scattered and took cover, cursing furiously as their formation fell into chaos.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Dali had casually killed four or five bandits with a single hidden weapon attack, then came charging in with saber in hand, his momentum like a rainbow.

"Bastard! Kill him!"

Pingfengchan Gu Sun roared in fury and was the first to ride out and meet Jiang Dali.

"Trash!"

Jiang Dali smiled faintly. He suddenly abandoned his horse and leaped high into the air. With a flick of his left hand, a throwing knife gleaming with a sinister light swept toward Gu Sun, wrapped in an incomparably fierce and razor-sharp gale.

Flying Star Spreading Hatred!

Gu Sun was startled. He immediately raised his spade to block, spinning it in his hands like a rolling, gleaming silver ball and knocking away the willow-leaf throwing knife.

Yet at that very moment, Jiang Dali had already brushed past him. The Nine-Ringed Golden Saber dropped into his grasp, drawing a dazzling arc of saber light through the air as it cleaved into the Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold bandits.

In an instant, screams rang out one after another beneath the flashing, dazzling saber light that whirled like a hurricane.

With saber in hand, Jiang Dali charged into the ordinary bandits like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. No one could stop him.

These ordinary bandits had never learned any profound martial arts, much less possessed any formidable equipment. Their short axes and short blades could not even inflict much harm on Jiang Dali. In his eyes, they were no different from ordinary people.

Thus, Jiang Dali charged alone into the midst of the bandits without facing the slightest danger.

Instead, the Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold bandits were the ones suffering disaster.

In a single exchange, another dozen or so were killed.

Only then did Blood Finger Condensing Suan and Gu Sun react. Roaring in rage, they charged Jiang Dali together to stop his slaughter.

"What a formidable Black Wind Stronghold Master—his reputation is indeed well deserved! We're going too!"

Green Ox Looks Up wore a grave expression as he called to Drunken Flower Shade.

The four formed an encirclement from the east, south, west, and north, charging together at Jiang Dali in the center.

"Take this!"

Gu Sun, the Second Boss of Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold, rode over on horseback. He suddenly sprang from the horse with an intimidating force, his spade slashing straight for Jiang Dali's head.

"Good timing!"

Jiang Dali threw back his head and laughed. He suddenly turned around and met the attack head-on without dodging.

Boom—

In an instant, his aura surged explosively. As his skin turned bluish-black, the muscles and veins all over his body bulged.

Tiger Roar!

Buzzz!

The nine rings on the Nine-Ringed Golden Saber buzzed and trembled violently, swaying again and again with a sound like a tiger's roar.

The saber light shone like dazzling sunlight, instantly engulfing Gu Sun's charging figure completely, as though a fierce tiger truly sought to choose its prey and devour it.

Such a terrifying slash made Condensing Suan, Green Ox Looks Up, and the others pale in shock.

All they could see was crisscrossing saber qi. The saber qi rushing into their faces burned like fire, filling them with fear and making it hard to breathe.

The instant the three slowed in alarm, they heard a long laugh, followed by several crisp clashes of metal.

The saber light faded. With a dull bang, Gu Sun, the Second Boss of Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold, flew backward like a tattered sack and crashed onto the ground. Hot blood splashed across the earth, and two fatal saber wounds on his chest and neck sent chills through all who saw them.

"Second Boss!"

The Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold bandits around them, who had only just begun fighting the Black Wind Mountain Stronghold bandits, were terrified out of their wits. Their courage nearly shattered, and their morale plummeted in an instant.

The bandits of Black Wind Mountain Stronghold were all greatly heartened at this moment.

Despite their smaller numbers, they fought the bandits of Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold and Chongfeng Mountain Stronghold to a standstill.

The players of Black Wind Mountain Stronghold were all incomparably fired up, fearless of death. One after another, they kept shouting, "Holy shit, holy shit!" Their worship of Stronghold Master Jiang Dali had reached the point of total prostration.

What did it mean to be peerlessly domineering?

Their Great Mountain Lord was peerlessly domineering!

The moment he appeared, he instantly killed one of the enemy's generals. It was like a little cow doing somersaults—bullshit straight into the heavens.

"Gu Sun!"

"What a powerful Black Wind Stronghold Master!"

Blood Finger Condensing Suan, Green Ox Looks Up, and the others all stared at the corpse on the ground in utter shock. Then they abruptly turned to look at Jiang Dali, who stood within their encirclement, his entire body now covered in a bluish-golden hue. Their scalps prickled.

It felt less as though the three of them had surrounded him, and more as though he had surrounded them instead. They could die at any moment.

"Something's wrong!"

Green Ox Looks Up's expression shifted slightly as he stared at Jiang Dali, who had yet to pounce and attack. He shouted in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. That move just now took a heavy toll on him too. We'll circle around him first. Once Great Mountain Lord Ji arrives, we'll definitely be able to kill him!"

Seeing that Blood Finger Condensing Suan was still wary and hesitant, Green Ox Looks Up cursed inwardly. Suddenly, he let out a piercing howl that rang out like metal being split and stone being shattered.

At once, a long howl from Ghost Blade Ji Ming answered from Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold. Clearly, the Great Mountain Lord of Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold had also sensed that something was amiss and was rushing over to provide aid.

"Calling for reinforcements?"

A trace of mockery appeared on Jiang Dali's face as he regarded Green Ox Looks Up and the other three with interest. "Who would've thought that Tuoshui Mountain Stronghold and Chongfeng Mountain Stronghold had joined forces? Not bad, not bad. Saves this Stronghold Master the trouble. I'll kill a batch of you right here—killing guaranteed, burial not included."

"Shameless boasting!"

Drunken Flower Shade shouted coldly, putting on a brave front as she tested him. "That slash just now drained you badly too, didn't it? That's why you're standing here talking nonsense with us. How many more slashes can you make?"

Jiang Dali chuckled. With a turn of his blade, the nine rings hummed. "More than enough to kill you."

"Great Mountain Lord, we're here to help you!"

At that moment, three players from Black Wind Mountain Stronghold suddenly charged over. They roared one after another, weapons in hand, and took the initiative to attack Green Ox Looks Up.

Green Ox Looks Up swiftly retreated and dodged aside.

Swish, swish, swish—

The three streaks of blade light did not slow. From tricky angles on both sides, they suddenly struck Jiang Dali all at once.

Clang! Clang!

The sound of hammering iron erupted.

Jiang Dali's towering body stood calmly in place. His eyes seemed to carry a scornful, mocking smile, while three "0"s popped up above his head, as though he had anticipated this all along.

"What!?"

"What kind of freakish defense is this?"

The expressions of the three players changed drastically as they stared in terror at Jiang Dali, who was like an iron man forged from steel and cast iron.

"You three have chosen the road to death!"

A cold curve rose at the corner of Jiang Dali's mouth as his arm moved.

Clang—

Golden blade light flashed.

Three miserable cries rang out, and three people vanished from the field at once.

"Your turn to go on your way!"

Jiang Dali sprang forward and slashed. Murderous intent filled his eyes as he fixed his gaze on the solemn-faced Blood Finger Condensing Suan and the other two. His long blade swept forth, filling the sky with blade shadows and stirring the surrounding air into a wild surge.
