Chapter 1719: Chapter 1326: Three Parts Essence Qi, Seven Parts Great Strength!
When the first sun rises, it feels like the moment all life is resurrected. Even the air nearby seems to become particularly clear, clear as a gemstone, with a gentle mist shrouding the distant lake, giving it a warm appearance.
In this warm daylight of spring, it seems even corpses do not decay.
They lay under such sunlight, with the sun licking at their handsome faces like flames, giving their complexion a bright, crystalline pink hue, unlike the pallor of death.
They weren’t meant to die, even though their throats had been slit. Yet, the wounds had miraculously healed, leaving only a faint, scab-like mark.
An overwhelming and lively Essence Energy, like burning flames, circulated, flickered, and rolled through their meridians, spreading through every part of their bodies.
This power originated from their hearts, traversed their bodies, and activated the Longevity Technique within them, healing the wounds on their necks, and awakening their brains from a dormant state, resurrecting them from death.
Such a condition is extremely incredible, yet not impossible.
Because for ordinary people, the brain can continue to function for about half a cup of tea’s time after death.
After this, due to the cessation of blood supply, brain cells can no longer survive, leading to brain death, and after twelve hours of brain death, the person is considered completely dead.
However, it is not impossible that during this time, a person might suddenly come back to life and even crawl out of the coffin.
That’s because the brain hasn’t completely died. The ’dead’ body suddenly revives, restoring blood supply, allowing the brain to receive oxygen again, and thus come back to life.
For ordinary people, this might be the case, let alone for the Shuanglong who have undergone the refining of their bodies with the Longevity Technique and been baptized by He’s Jade Disc.
Their bodies are far superior to ordinary people. Their brains can remain dormant for longer periods after death. Additionally, Jiang Dali had previously imbued them with a Great Strength Divine Skill Essence Qi to protect their heart meridians, allowing their hearts, infused with the special powers of the Undying Divine Skill and the Nine Yang Divine Skill, to resume beating once erupted, reviving them, stimulating the rapid circulation of the Longevity Technique’s power within them to heal and awaken their brains.
Their eyeballs moved under their eyelids, and their fingers twitched under the active nerves. Then, they groaned in unison and abruptly opened their eyes, coughing up clotted blood as their nasal passages expelled dried scabs, fully awakening.
Upon awakening, both quickly regained their sense of hearing, vision, and touch. Their perception of the nearby environment flooded them instantly, with fresh water vapor in their noses and seeing lively waves beside them. A joy and gratitude for surviving a great calamity rose rapidly in their hearts, nearly bringing tears to their eyes, compelling them to stand up immediately in excitement.
"Zhong, are we still alive? We’re not dead?"
"Hahaha, we’re not dead. We’re all still alive, Mr. Ling, we’re not dead."
They examined each other’s wounds with surprise and excitement, embraced in joy, and even delightedly turned somersaults, nearly missing their footing and falling into the water from the small boat.
After a long while, their emotions settled, and they realized the sequence of events.
"Mr. Ling, it seems we misunderstood the village chief. He gave each of us a palm strike yesterday, saying it was a reward. We thought his reward was allowing us to live another day."
Kou Zhong commented with a complex expression.
Xu Ziling, covering the position of his heart, nodded, "The strength of the palm strike that the village chief embedded in us protected our heart meridians. His power was overwhelmingly strong, yet he could wield it gently, lingering in our hearts until our vitality completely dissipated before reviving, triggering the True Qi of our Longevity Technique, allowing our bodies to heal themselves and come back to life."
At this point, they both understood Jiang Dali’s thoughtful intentions. For a moment, they were filled with complex emotions, genuinely feeling respect and admiration for this Black Wind Village Chief who was both an enemy and a friend, as well as a teacher.
The village chief had courage and wisdom, leveraging Wan Wan to kill them in front of the civil and military officials in the Imperial Palace of the Tang Country, then sending them away via a Water Burial without anyone noticing, allowing them to escape the court’s whirlpool. This neither put Li Shimin in a difficult position nor stopped Li Yuan and the civil and military officials from achieving their desires, and it even led Wan Wan to completely let go of their past ties. It could be said they turned the hand into clouds and turned it back into rain, with connections reaching the heavens.
And now, the result is exactly what they wished for. From now on, they cannot appear in the Martial World under the name of Shuanglong, nor can they work for Black Wind Village. From now on, they are free as birds in the sky and fish in the vast sea, released to live the simple life they desire.
"The Martial World is like a tide, people like water. Now, Shuanglong have returned with the tide."
"After visiting Beautiful Lady’s grave, you go find your Shi Xianzi, and I will become the Song Family’s son-in-law."
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances and burst into hearty laughter, filled with boldness and freedom. Then, they draped their arms over each other’s shoulders, standing on the boat, gazing with hope at the distant scenery.
The morning sun’s colorful rays painted a layer of golden ribbon over the distant undulating mountains, the silhouette of the ridges emerged vividly like flying horses, casting shadows upon the two figures standing tall, merging their silhouettes into the rippling water, stretching out long.
Outside the Tang Country Imperial Palace, the city’s roads were bustling with traffic, merchants shouting their wares without a lull.
Wan Wan sat inside a carriage, her mind clear, her realm reached a breakthrough due to her power surge, attaining an unprecedented level within the Yin Gui Sect; in terms of sheer power, she was now nearly matchable to the Blood Hand Li Gong before he entered the Ten Extremes Pass.
"Master, since Shuanglong might not be dead, why..."
Snow Qing, the player beside her, hadn’t finished speaking before the atmosphere suddenly shifted like a chilling breeze, intimidating her into silence.
Wan Wan slowly opened her beautiful eyes, and in a calm and soft tone said, "Whether they’re still alive, it no longer matters. Because in my heart, they are already dead. I have personally killed them."
Snow Qing exclaimed, "Then..."
"They will never appear in the Martial World again. This is not only the village chief’s intention but also their choice."
Gazing into the Martial World, it’s better to forget it entirely, even if my present beauty drunk with joy might one day drown in the waters of oblivion.
...
"Three Points... Return to Essence Energy!"
Inside the spacious separate court room, Jiang Dali suddenly clasped his hands in a rounded pose while sitting cross-legged, a grand terrifying Qi Force like a smokey water mass roiled in his embrace, emitting intense water-like crashing ’splashing’ sounds, growing a powerful suction force that made tables, chairs, and teapots around swiftly swirl into the Qi cluster, crushing them into powder.
Suddenly, his hands raised again, filling his sleeves with Qi Force, pushing outward from within.
BOOM!!—
The Qi Force surged out immediately, flipping floor tiles it passed over, sucking up the beaded curtains, exploding into the opposite wall, hurling it outward, swirling it up fifteen meters high into the outside yard, grinding it apart along with the muddy spherical Qi force, suddenly detonating.
The violently unmatched Qi Force exploded outward; as countless powder-like debris fell, Jiang Dali, with a physique likened to a Demon God, stood firm in the courtyard, a thick arm thrust out, a large fist like a pot condensed with a terrifying heavy pressure that made the space tremble, seemingly slow yet swiftly punching forward.
The air seemed compressed so violently by the punch it burst into rippling water-like shock waves.
Though the punch felt quite slow, it was so fast that it was unavoidable, compressing and collapsing the space around, leaving no escape!
"Seven Points rely on Great Strength!"
The exceedingly domineering fist force blanketed the field.
The falling powder-like fragments in the air were all frozen for a mere moment, but genuinely congealed, then exploded into countless finer dust almost invisible to the naked eye.
At the long corridor a hundred meters outside the yard, a sedan team was proceeding when, at that very moment, everyone felt an alarming, dreadful danger; some sedan bearers’ legs weakened, directly kneeling down, their hearts seized in fright, Princess Li Xiangfang in the sedan terrified to the core, then the horrifying pressure suddenly vanished without a trace.
Inside the courtyard, Jiang Dali abruptly withdrew his fist, his eyes glinting with divine light shooting out, the consolidated atmosphere transformed into a gust, lifting his cloak floating behind him.
With tiger-like eyes gazing heavenward, under the myriad-phased morning sun, he sighed, "Three Points Return to Essence Energy, Seven Points rely on Great Strength! But if one’s strength is to contend with the heavens and the earth, how should one fight? In the cosmos, what kind of existence can compare to the wondrous handiwork of heaven and earth?"
