Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 547 Grandmaster, Make Your Move!
The Five Swords Sect.

The huge square was already packed with people.

A token suddenly appeared in Jiang Ning's hand.

One side is engraved with the Five Swords Sect's logo, while the other side is engraved with the character "Yang" in a vigorous and elegant style.

"This must be the identity token of a true disciple of the Five Swords Sect!" Jiang Ning said calmly, showing the token in his hand.

Under the dim moonlight, those skilled in martial arts could see the pattern and the character "Yang" on the token in Jiang Ning's hand.

"It's Yang Zhenchuan's token!"

"It's Senior Brother Yang's identity token!!"

"I heard that Senior Brother Yang came back a few days ago and is now recuperating at home. Could it be that he really went to storm the execution ground?"

"."

Seeing this, the disciples of the Five Swords Sect couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Sect Leader He, is there anything else you want to say?" Jiang Ning asked.

Hear the words.

He Changkong took a deep breath.

"Inspector Jiang, could you please grant me this favor?"

"No!" Jiang Ning shook his head calmly.

He then continued, "Will you hand over the prisoner voluntarily, or will I arrest him myself?"

"Envoy Jiang, must you be so forceful?" He Changkong asked.

"Judging from what you're saying, you want to stand up for your disciples?" Jiang Ning asked.

at the same time.

He Changkong's ears twitched suddenly as he heard the voice coming from the shadows in the distance, which immediately put his mind at ease.

With a grandmaster backing them up, their confidence instantly changed.

Compared to ordinary martial artists, a third-grade grandmaster is an existence on another dimension.

"Inspector Jiang, is it really going to get this bad?"

"It seems Sect Master He doesn't want to cooperate!" Jiang Ning said calmly.

at this time.

A deep, aged voice suddenly came from afar.

"Young man, one should be forgiving when possible!"

The voice sounded.

Everyone immediately turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.

A figure in white robes with silver hair appeared on a building in the distance.

Then, with a flash, he disappeared from the rooftop where he was standing and appeared on the rooftop of another building a dozen feet away.

"It's the Supreme Elder!"

"It's the Supreme Elder!!"

"."

Exclamations of surprise echoed across the empty square.

The disciples of the Five Swords Sect looked at the figure approaching like a ghost in the distance with burning fervor, as if they were worshipping a deity.

This Supreme Elder of the Five Swords Sect is a living fossil of the Five Swords Sect.

It has lived for over a hundred years.

If this were an ordinary person, such a lifespan would be considered that of a true centenarian.

Within the Five Swords Sect, such a lifespan would have allowed them to witness the rise and fall of several generations.

The reason why the Five Swords Sect has such a status today is also because of this living fossil who is like a pillar of strength.

The arrival of this Supreme Elder brought a sigh of relief to all the disciples of the Five Swords Sect.

Jiang Ning's appearance, the sect leader He Changkong's performance, and the ready-to-fire crossbow all made them feel unparalleled pressure.

It was as if they were under a dark cloud, making it hard for them to breathe.

Now, the appearance of the sect's living fossil, the Supreme Elder, was like the sun breaking through the clouds, dispelling the gloom in their hearts.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning also looked at the Supreme Elder whose figure approached like a ghost.

"Could it be that the Five Swords Sect really only has one such old and frail grandmaster?" The thought flashed through his mind.

They had been keeping a low profile, mainly because they hadn't truly uncovered the true nature of the Five Swords Sect.

According to publicly available information, the Five Swords Sect only has one elderly grandmaster.

But he instinctively didn't believe that such a sect would expose its full strength without any reservation.
Without holding back, if the rival sect knows everything about us, once they launch an attack, it will lead the entire sect to utter ruin.

Considering this point alone, he did not believe that the information he had obtained was all that the Five Swords Sect had.

This is also why he is cautious.

It wasn't just about killing off the sect and making a great contribution.

Because that's just how he is; unless absolutely necessary, he won't completely expose his strength without reservation.

Complete exposure is a very dangerous act.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he focused his gaze slightly on the rapidly approaching figure.

"Every family has its rules, and every country has its laws!" Jiang Ning said calmly.

His tone was calm, but his voice was extremely penetrating, and it spread in all directions in an instant, reaching everyone's ears.

"Young man, can't you give an old man like me some face?" The Supreme Elder of the Five Swords Sect continued to approach, his voice carrying across the distance.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning frowned.

"Old man, stop acting like you're old and incompetent. You don't deserve it."

While talking.

Jiang Ning made a slight movement and instantly caught sight of a figure in the gaps of the crowd.

"You've come at the perfect time!" He smiled as soon as he saw the familiar figure.

He was just worried about how to get the situation out of control and drag the entire Five Swords Sect into the vortex when he didn't expect that the true disciple who had lost an arm to his arrow would dare to come and join in the fun.

next moment.

boom--

He took a step forward, and a thunderous roar erupted from the spot, covering a distance of several dozen feet in a flash.

The powerful aura instantly locked onto the figure with the severed arm behind the crowd.

"Senior, save me!!" Feeling Jiang Ning's aura fall on him, the disciple Yang was terrified and pleaded with the Supreme Elder who had instructed him several times.

He was one of the few true disciples of the Five Swords Sect.

Although there was no formal master-disciple relationship between him and that living fossil of the sect, the Supreme Elder, there was still a bond of kinship.

Not only him, but all the other disciples also received guidance from that living fossil on many occasions.

It can be said that their relationship with that Supreme Elder was far deeper than that of ordinary disciples.

After receiving guidance multiple times, a true master-disciple relationship has been established, along with a deep bond of affection.

"He Changkong, what are you still watching for? As the sect leader, are you just going to sit idly by and watch your disciples be bullied by outsiders?" The Supreme Elder shouted at He Changkong, who was still watching the show, when he realized he had no time to stop Jiang Ning's actions.

The sound, like thunder, resounded in all directions in an instant.

A resonance between humanity and nature!
The thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind, but he did not stop what he was doing.

If he could provoke He Changkong into making a move, that would be exactly what he wanted.

at this time.

Hearing the voices of the Supreme Elders all around him, and seeing Jiang Ning's actions, He Changkong still hesitated.

The Supreme Elder did not see the power that Jiang Ning had just displayed, but he did.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Jiang Ning had already rushed into the crowd.

Once inside a crowd, it's like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

The Five Swords Sect disciples who were blocking his way were all knocked away by his body.

In a flash.

The sounds of breaking bones and tendons filled the air, and blood splattered across the sky.

"He Changkong, if you allow outsiders to continue to act arrogantly within the sect, your position as sect leader will end after today!" The Grand Elder's voice rang out again.

Hear this.

He Changkong knew this was not a threat.

As the sect leader, if he were to allow Jiang Ning to brazenly arrest people within the sect, he would lose all authority after tonight.

After tonight, he will be unable to command respect.

No one respects him, so his position as sect leader is doomed.

Think of this.

He made a firm decision.

"Inspector Jiang, please forgive me!"

As the words fell.

A whooshing sound of a sword rang out behind them.

The tremor of the longsword instantly caused the air to vibrate.

Faced with this powerful sword aura, the air rippled like water.

This also causes sound to travel through the air much faster than usual.

"Hundred-Step Flying Sword!!"

At that moment, gasps of surprise rang out from all around.

at the same time.

Despite feeling the menacing sword pressure, Jiang Ning's momentum neither slowed down nor accelerated.

Instead, he continued to push through the crowd in front of him, rushing to the fleeing, one-armed disciple in a few strides.

the other side.

"Release the arrows!" Feng Xiaochen suddenly gave the order when he saw He Changkong attack Jiang Ning.

"You dare!!!" The moment Feng Xiaochen gave the order, He Changkong turned his head instantly.

Then he saw arrows flashing with a chilling light heading straight for him and the disciples around him.

He Changkong instantly became furious, his eyes bloodshot, completely disregarding Jiang Ning's situation.

Holding a sword sheath, he leaped forward and appeared in front of the disciple who was being targeted by arrows, the sword sheath in his hand swirling like a windmill.

In the crowd.

Ignoring the commotion behind him, Jiang Ning reached out from the crowd and grabbed the fleeing one-armed disciple.

at the same time.

The flying sword behind him also entered within three feet of him.

The powerful aura locked onto him, allowing him to clearly sense the sharp and menacing longsword behind him.

"Sir, be careful!!" Xie Xiaojiu couldn't help but warn from a distance.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people.

Jiang Ning's blood and qi surged, and his body was instantly enveloped in a faint golden light, as thin as a cicada's wing.

The golden light was exceptionally bright in the night and appeared exceptionally sacred.

"Indestructible Vajra Body!"

"This is the perfected Vajra Indestructible Body!"

A knowledgeable person in the crowd, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but speak up.

But what they didn't see was that the thin, cicada-wing-like golden light was now not just one layer, but three layers of golden light stacked together.

When the Vajra Indestructible Body is perfected and the protective techniques are activated, a golden protective light will be revealed, which is the first level.

Having completed the first breakthrough and improved the technique, there are two layers of protective golden light stacked together, completely invisible to the naked eye.

He has now broken through his limits twice, and his Vajra Indestructible Body has been upgraded twice.

Therefore, now there are three layers of golden light protecting the body, and the strength of the protection far exceeds the perfect level.

This is also why Jiang Ning ignored He Changkong's Hundred-Step Flying Sword killing move and was unafraid of it.

clang--

Just as the flying sword struck the protective golden light, the longsword let out a mournful cry.

The sword bent involuntarily, absorbing all the kinetic energy, but still failed to break through the golden protective light on Jiang Ning's body, and was then suddenly repelled.

All the Five Swords Sect disciples who witnessed this scene felt their scalps tingle and their bodies go numb instantly.

They hadn't expected that their sect leader's killing move wouldn't even break through Jiang Ning's protective golden light.

This moment caused their emotions to change drastically.

the other side.

At this moment, He Changkong had no time to worry about whether his killing move could stop Jiang Ning from arresting people.

As soon as Feng Xiaochen gave the order, the arrows pierced the air and arrived.

To prevent his disciples from being slaughtered by arrows, he could only twirl his sword sheath like a windmill, attempting to deflect the incoming arrows.

But when the scabbard reached the first arrow, his hand paused, and he took a small step back.

The force contained in the arrow exceeded his expectations.

Even with his strength, he couldn't completely ignore the impact of the crossbow bolts.

Subsequently.

In less than a breath, his movements began to become chaotic.

As for the rain of arrows, he couldn't possibly stop them all.

Behind them, the sounds of arrows tearing through flesh and blood echoed continuously, along with muffled groans from the disciples.

ho-

He Changkong suddenly stepped back and looked down to see an arrow deeply embedded in his waist, then stuck in his muscles.

"What are you all standing there for? Quickly take action and kill the invading enemy!" The Supreme Elder, who had arrived at the edge of the square, suddenly spoke up upon seeing the scene unfolding there.

"As the Supreme Elder commands!!" Upon hearing this, one of the elders immediately stepped forward to echo the order.

"As the Supreme Elder commands!"

"As the Supreme Elder commands!!"

"."

Seeing this, the others also answered the order and charged towards Feng Xiaochen.

"Release the arrows!!" Feng Xiaochen coldly waved his hand as he watched the scene unfold before him.

As the first squad reloaded their crossbows, the second squad stepped forward and pulled the triggers.

whoosh-

whoosh-

whoosh-

The arrow pierced the air, tearing through it.

now.

He Changkong had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw more than twenty arrows piercing the air again, and he felt his scalp tingle.

"Draw the sheath!"

Just then, Feng Xiaochen gave another command, stomping his spear on the ground.

thump—

The stone bricks shattered with a dull thud.

His personal guards also drew their swords, the chilling glint of which was immediately reflected on the surrounding stone bricks.

aside.

Zhou Xing, Xie Xiaojiu, and Feng Jiuge also issued orders, and the accompanying members drew their weapons.

Xiao Emei also drew her sword at this moment.

The sword was drawn from its sheath, like a streak of autumn wild geese.

on the other side.

Jiang Ning held the one-armed disciple in one hand, his gaze coldly fixed on the Five Swords Sect's Supreme Elder charging towards him.

"The Five Swords Sect will be destroyed by your hands tonight!"

"Arrogant brat! Tonight you will witness the wrath of a grandmaster!!" The Supreme Elder of the Five Swords Sect glared angrily, his figure moving even faster than before as he charged toward Jiang Ning.

At this moment, Jiang Ning remained fearless, standing still and waiting for the Five Swords Sect's Supreme Elder to approach.

Just for a moment.

The Supreme Elder strode across several dozen feet and charged right up to Jiang Ning.

He understood that Jiang Ning was the instigator of tonight's events.

Jiang Ning was also a key figure.

He couldn't care less about the corpses of his disciples lying in the square, riddled with arrows.

He knew that the only way to resolve tonight's predicament was to take over Jiangning.

Taking Jiangning will resolve the Five Swords Sect's predicament.

"Kneel down before me!" He came to within ten feet of Jiang Ning and struck down with his palm, which sank down like a prayer mat covering his head.

"You're courting death!" Jiang Ning said coldly upon hearing the provocation in the words of the Five Swords Sect's Supreme Elder.

Subsequently.

He clenched his right fist and threw a punch forward.

Five-colored radiance instantly dissipated from his five fingers, radiating red, black, white, yellow, and blue light.

Each finger now corresponds to a beam of light.

Five colors converge in the palm of your hand, blending together yet remaining distinct.

In an instant.

The Supreme Elder of the Five Swords Sect suddenly felt as if he were stuck in a quagmire, and every move he made was extremely sluggish.

Sensing something so strange, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
