Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 557 The Divine Power of the Six-Foot Golden Body

In the mountains and forests.

Jiang Ning was bathed in golden light, like a god descending to earth.

Faced with the full force of the four veteran masters, his blood and qi surged, pushing his Vajra Indestructible Body to its limit.

The dazzling golden light spread, instantly bathing the surroundings in a faint golden glow.

The golden light surrounding him at that moment made him appear like a god.

boom--

As the four deadly moves landed, a deafening roar erupted, and the golden protective light surrounding Jiang Ning flickered before settling back down.

A thin layer of golden light stood like an insurmountable barrier in front of Shangguan Guyun and the other three.

The four men's expressions immediately changed drastically.

"Escape!" Shangguan Guyun shouted, retreating swiftly with his three-foot-long sword in hand.

Even seeing the blood slowly flowing from Jiang Ning, he felt no will to fight.

Despite the four people's all-out attack, they barely managed to break through the protective golden light, leaving only the most superficial superficial wounds on Jiang Ning.

Even with a full-force attack, the defense couldn't be broken. How can we fight back?
this moment.

Shangguan Guyun finally understood why Jiang Ning, despite discovering them with his extraordinary eyesight, did not retreat or avoid them, but waited for them to come to him.

The Vajra Temple's signature martial art, the Vajra Indestructible Body, was brought to its ultimate form in Jiang Ning's hands, reaching a level that Jiang Ning could not comprehend at all.

With just the protective golden light, one is inherently invincible.

With such formidable defense, it's impossible to defeat.

At this moment, Shangguan Guyun retreated quickly, but Fairy Shui Lan retreated even faster.

Her signature move, the Bone-Melting and Blood-Turning Palm, struck Jiang Ning's arm, but it only managed to extinguish the golden light on Jiang Ning's body. It couldn't even break through the protective golden light, far less powerful than Shangguan Guyun's sword strike.

Sensing something was wrong, she withdrew before Shangguan Guyun could speak.

Just now.

Jiang Ning smiled.

"Gentlemen, since you're already here, why don't you all stay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly took a step forward.

In an instant.

The air suddenly froze, and the four of them were shocked. They felt as if they were being watched by their natural enemy, their eyelids twitched, and their whole bodies were radiating a dangerous aura.

"Not good!!" Shangguan Guyun's heart sank when he heard the confidence in Jiang Ning's tone.

next moment.

His eyes were twitching wildly.

He saw Jiang Ning take that step, his whole body bursting with golden light like a radiant beam, and then a golden giant, 1.6 feet tall, appeared in his sight.

"This is..." His mind raced, and he suddenly remembered Buddhist records. Legend has it that a Buddha in the Vajra Temple attained enlightenment and, through his indestructible Vajra body, comprehended an unparalleled supernatural power called the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body.

The sixteen-foot-tall golden body symbolizes perfection.

It is a symbol of the Buddha's perfect enlightenment.

"A sixteen-foot-tall golden body!!"

Realizing what had happened, Shangguan Guyun's heart pounded wildly.

His life essence instantly burned wildly within his body, and blood mist spread from his pores.

boom--

at this time.

Jiang Ning, revealing his sixteen-foot-tall golden body, took a step forward, causing the earth to crack and spiderweb-like fissures to spread in all directions.

The terrifying power gave Jiang Ning an extremely strong explosive force.

With one step, he transformed from stillness into motion, appearing before Shangguan Guyun as a beam of golden light.

Shangguan Guyun was terrified. He had just opened his mouth when a giant hand came crashing down on him.

As Jiang Ning's right palm struck down like a mountain, Shangguan Guyun's body was slapped into the ground.

Crackling!

His head sank in and slammed into his sternum, causing all the bones in his body to snap instantly, making a sound like bones breaking.

Subsequently.

Boom——

In an instant, the waves surged like a tide.

The other three were terrified when they saw this.

Xiao Hongyuan felt a shiver run through his body, and his fighting spirit completely dissipated.

With a single blow, he killed Shangguan Guyun—a feat that even top-tier grandmasters would find difficult to achieve.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, how could he possibly muster any fighting spirit?

He immediately turned and sped away.

next moment.

Boom——

Another loud roar sounded behind him. He turned his head and saw that the Serpent Lord was flying out like mud, and trees broke along the way as his body passed.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel despair.

In less than two breaths, Shangguan Guyun, the Spirit Serpent Gentleman, had already perished here.

He had only run a few dozen feet at this moment.

Just now.

He immediately saw a golden light rushing towards him from the forest.

It is as fast as lightning and as agile as a monkey in the forest.

They approached but didn't break any large trees, only causing branches along the way to snap.

Because Jiang Ning was moving too fast, what appeared to be a golden light was a blur.

See this.

Xiao Hongyuan immediately stopped in his tracks.

As he watched the rapidly approaching golden light, he slowly took a deep breath.

Then he gripped the long sword with both hands, and his whole body was filled with the aura of swordsmanship.

"Come and fight!!" Xiao Hongyuan shouted at Jiang Ning.

He had realized that he had absolutely no hope of escaping alive.

The two are not on the same level in terms of speed, and their strength is even more different.

In a single encounter, Shangguan Guyun, who was stronger than him, died on the spot.

Even the serpent-like swordsman, who was no weaker than him, was powerless to resist.

The only option he can choose now is to die a glorious death in battle.

this moment.

Xiao Hongyuan's expression hardened slightly, and his sword intent intensified.

"Kill!!" Seeing Jiang Ning so close at hand, Xiao Hongyuan unleashed his peak strike.

The blade's energy pierced the air, and before it even landed, the vegetation within a radius of two zhang crumbled.

"There is great terror between life and death, but there is also great opportunity! The ancients were right!!" Xiao Hongyuan laughed immediately, all the gloom in his heart dissipated, and only endless joy remained.

Pity!
He watched as Jiang Ning crushed his sword energy and shattered his sword intent with a single palm strike, and he felt a pang of regret.

The opponent before us is far too strong.

Even if he achieved a breakthrough in the battle and took another step forward, he might be able to enter the ranks of the Celestial Grandmaster, complete four blood transfusions, and even have a chance to peek at the qualifications of a second-grade Grandmaster.

But he knew that Jiang Ning wouldn't give him that opportunity.

"You're not bad!" Jiang Ning raised his hand and crushed Xiao Hongyuan's sword intent, praising him.

Fighting against these four masters, he truly felt the extraordinary nature of the true meaning of martial arts.

Of the four grandmasters who attacked, only Shangguan Guyun managed to break through his protective golden light. The sword blade wounded his flesh, leaving a bloodstain between his eyebrows.

This is not just because Shangguan Guyun is slightly ahead of the other three in martial arts realm.

The key factor is that Shangguan Guyun's mastery of sword intent has reached the level of "the will follows the mind," and he is only one step away from reaching the pinnacle of perfection.

In terms of mastery of sword intent, Shangguan Guyun was only slightly inferior to Xiao Qiushui back then.

If we set aside the grasp of artistic conception...

In Jiang Ning's view, Xiao Hongyuan was actually stronger than Shangguan Guyun.

Martial arts, old age and declining blood.

Even a powerful expert who has reached the third rank of Grandmaster cannot escape this law.

Xiao Hongyuan is still in his prime, at the peak of his physical condition.

Shangguan Guyun, on the other hand, was clearly old and frail, far from his peak.

However, Shangguan Guyun's superior artistic conception makes him significantly stronger than Xiao Hongyuan.

But this moment is different.

Xiao Hongyuan's stunning strike demonstrated his breakthrough in the battle.

The power of his sword intent was no less than that of Shangguan Guyun.

That's why Jiang Ning spoke up and praised him. Upon hearing this...

Xiao Hongyuan was taken aback.

"Thank you!" he said.

next moment.

Jiang Ning then slammed his palm down on Xiao Hongyuan.

Revealing its towering, golden body, a single palm strike was like a mountain descending from the sky.

Boom——

Accompanied by a roar.

Xiao Hongyuan was immediately slammed deep into the ground by Jiang Ning.

In an instant, the earth surged like a tide, and cracks spread across the ground like a spider web.

After delivering the blow, Jiang Ning turned and looked into the distance.

At this moment, the last grandmaster, Fairy Water Blue of the Mitian Sect, had already escaped far away because of the time he had wasted in intercepting Xiao Hongyuan, Shangguan Guyun and the Spirit Serpent Gentleman.

"I let you go that night, but I won't do it today!"

Jiang Ning moved instantly; his massive body was surprisingly agile, swiftly traversing the mountains and forests.

the other side.

The Water Blue Fairy has already run out of the mountains and forests and is heading deeper into the wilderness.

"They must have escaped, right?" She glanced back at the mountains and forests behind her.

By this time, the sun had completely sunk into the mountains, and the sky had darkened considerably.

The dim light made the forest resemble a lurking beast, waiting for travelers to arrive so it could devour them.

Right now.

Her pupils suddenly contracted.

Suddenly, several golden rays of light appeared in the dark mountain forest.

Immediately, a golden light appeared at the edge of the forest.

"not good!"

In an instant, Fairy Water Blue felt a sense of foreboding and felt extremely guilty. She then turned and fled.

Just less than a breath.

Her heart sank to the bottom.

Although she didn't look back, she could sense that Jiang Ning was very close.

next moment.

She saw a flash of golden light appear in front of her, and a towering figure appeared before her.

Then, a large, cushion-like hand swept towards her.

"Break—" Fairy Water Blue shouted in her heart, her soft palms becoming incredibly fierce.

He slapped Jiang Ning's sweeping hand straight at him.

At such speed, she had no way to dodge and could only take the hit head-on.

"Well done!" Jiang Ning said.

The force suddenly exploded at full power.

boom--

With a deafening roar, the blood mist exploded, and the Water Blue Fairy was nowhere to be seen.

"This body is so weak??" Jiang Ning was taken aback as he looked at the spreading blood mist and the shattered remains in front of him.

Subsequently.

Bathed in dazzling golden light.

Its majestic body returned to normal.

Looking at his clothes, which were completely intact, Jiang Ning was even more amazed.

The mysteries of the sixteen-foot-tall golden body are now beyond his comprehension.

It gave him something that was both like an enlargement of the body and not just an enlargement of the body.

"The fact that the sixteen-foot golden body is listed as a supernatural power might involve power at the level of rules!" The thought flashed through his mind, and then he stopped dwelling on the question.

He knew that with his current understanding, it was impossible for him to comprehend the profound mysteries of supernatural powers.

Subsequently.

He glanced ahead again.

The blood mist has dispersed and faded.

As for the whereabouts of Fairy Water Blue, even having the most skilled jigsaw puzzle player present it would be a simple challenge.

He then reviewed the battle that had just taken place.

At first, the person he valued most was Shangguan Guyun, the old master of Shenjian Manor.

He was also the only one of the four grandmasters who managed to injure him today.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his brow.

Under Shangguan Guyun's sword.

His protective golden aura was briefly broken, and the residual force of the sword left a bloodstain between his eyebrows, but that was all.

The other three grandmasters were unable to break through his protective golden light.

In other words, the attacks of those three grandmasters could not break through his defenses.

However, in terms of actual force, Xiao Hongyuan's strike was far superior to Shangguan Guyun's.

The difference between the two lies solely in the grasp of artistic conception.

Shangguan Guyun's mastery of swordsmanship has reached a level of perfection, allowing him to move at will.

With the enhancement of sword intent, it was able to break through his protective golden light and leave a bloodstain between his eyebrows.

However, Shangguan Guyun's sword intent still didn't feel as good to him as Xiao Qiushui's back then.

Thinking about this, he realized even more deeply just how high Xiao Qiushui's talent was.

It is no exaggeration to call it the shining star of martial arts in Dongling County.

Xiao Qiushui, who was not even forty years old, had already entered the third rank and become a Celestial Master.

"Shangguan Guyun of Shenjian Villa, Shui Lan Fairy of Mitian Sect, and Xiao Hongyuan and Ling She Langjun," Jiang Ning murmured.

With a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

After a while.

He first went to the place where Shangguan Guyun had died.

As he raised his hand and grabbed, the earth churned, and Shangguan Guyun's body suddenly appeared in front of him.

At this moment, Shangguan Guyun was no longer recognizable as a human.

The skull was shattered and stuck to the body, and the limbs were almost crushed; all signs of life had been completely extinguished.

Even a grandmaster would not survive such injuries.

Then, he took Shangguan Guyun's three-foot-long sword.

As it became Shangguan Guyun's personal sword, this three-foot-long green blade was naturally quite valuable.

He then flashed away.

They arrived before the Spirit Serpent Swordsman, who was now a mass of flesh, and then found his soft sword nearby.

Of these people, he thought the easiest to kill was the Serpent Swordsman.

Lacking in ability and lacking in skill.

He then went to the place where Xiao Hongyuan had died.

In his view, the most tragic figure was Xiao Hongyuan.

Xiao Hongyuan was the youngest of the four masters, and he looked to be about forty years old.

Although their age is unlikely to be only around forty, the appearance of a grandmaster-level expert basically represents the state of their physical function.

His appearance at around forty years old indicates that Xiao Hongyuan's physical functions are still at their peak, and there are many possibilities for the future.

Moreover, Xiao Hongyuan's physical strength is far superior to Shangguan Guyun's, only slightly inferior in terms of artistic conception.

But they have clearly crossed that threshold and have already grasped the essence of the conception, only differing slightly in level.

However, Xiao Hongyuan had just broken through in the battle, and his mastery of the artistic conception had increased dramatically, making him no less than Shangguan Guyun.

At that moment, Xiao Hongyuan's strength surpassed that of Shangguan Guyun, making him the strongest among the four grandmasters.

If it weren't for his overwhelming strength, even if Xiao Hongyuan had achieved a breakthrough during the battle, he wouldn't have been able to resist.

Given a normal opponent, Xiao Hongyuan's greatly enhanced strength, gained through a breakthrough in battle, would be enough to reverse the course of the war.

Having overcome this hurdle and completed his transformation, Xiao Hongyuan's future may be completely different, enough to write a legendary biography.

But encountering him meant a tragic end was inevitable.

Jiang Ning then reached out and grabbed Xiao Hongyuan's corpse from the soil.

Compared to the others, Xiao Hongyuan, who died, was relatively intact, with hands and feet.

Then, he took the weapon from Xiao Hongyuan's hand and buried it in the ground, letting it rest in peace.
