Chapter 559 Top Grandmaster, Invincible Grandmaster!
Chenshi.

"Zhou Xing, come and have a cup of tea first, wait for the master to finish his training!" Feng Jiuge said to Zhou Xing, who had just appeared in front of her, from the pavilion.

Zhou Xing glanced at Jiang Ning, slowed his pace, and walked towards the pavilion.

"When did you two arrive?" Zhou Xing asked with a smile.

"I just arrived!" Feng Jiuge picked up a cup of cold tea she had poured herself and drank it all in one gulp.

"I arrived a little earlier than Sister Feng!" Xie Xiaojiu said.

at this time.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

Within the heart chamber, two drops of concentrated essence blood have now condensed.

The essence and blood are like blood jade, pure and flawless, emitting a faint red glow in the heart.

Jiang Ning looked at the three of them, then stood up and put a Crimson Flame Blood Crystal into his mouth.

With a "crunch," the hard, stone-like Crimson Blood Crystal was crushed into powder in his mouth.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

The three of them bowed respectfully to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning immediately felt his body absorbing the energy from the crushed Crimson Flame Blood Crystal in his mouth, as if his body were parched and thirsty.

"Go back and take the team to Sunset Valley!"

"Yes!" Zhou Xing answered first.

"I accept the order!" Xie Xiaojiu replied, cupping his hands in greeting.

Feng Jiuge then received the order and asked curiously, "My lord, why are we going to Luoxia Valley?"

“Luoxia Valley is very close to Shenjian Manor!” Jiang Ning said.

Divine Sword Manor?

The three of them were taken aback when they heard the location.

"Is my lord preparing to take action against Divine Sword Manor?" Xie Xiaojiu asked.

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded: "Shangguan Guyun is dead. I will go to Commander Yan's place later and ask him to send some troops for my use."

"Why bother?!" Zhao Yulong's voice suddenly rang out from outside the wall.

Jiang Ning turned his head to look.

Led by Lvyi, Zhao Yulong and Bai Luoyu arrived hand in hand.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning immediately went to meet him along the bridge that spanned the lake.

"Lord of the Manor, Brother Bai!" He greeted them with a cupped hand, then asked, "Why did you arrive so quickly, Lord of the Manor?"

Zhao Yulong strode over, looking at Jiang Ning with a beaming smile, and said, "Just now at Brother Bai's residence, after seeing the purpose of your maid's visit, I came here with Brother Bai!"

He then hurriedly asked, "I just heard this shocking news outside the courtyard. Is Shangguan Guyun really dead?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yulong looked at Jiang Ning with anticipation.

Although he had just overheard the shocking news Jiang Ning revealed during his conversation with his subordinates, he still found it hard to believe.

Who is Shangguan Guyun?
He can be considered the number one expert in Dongling County.

Even with his greatly improved strength, he was no match for Shangguan Guyun in just a few rounds.

The reason why Shenjian Manor holds such a position in Dongling County is mainly due to the influence of Shangguan Guyun.

Shangguan Guyun's contribution accounted for 70%, another grandmaster accounted for 25%, and the rest of the Shenjian Villa members accounted for 5%.

“Yesterday after sunset, Shangguan Guyun and several other grandmasters ambushed me, but I killed them on the outskirts of the city.” Jiang Ning said, and with a flash of golden light, Shangguan Guyun’s three-foot-long sword appeared in his hand.

"This is Shangguan Guyun's sword!!" Zhao Yulong's eyes narrowed.

"Of course!" Jiang Ning smiled.

"Can I take a look?" Zhao Yulong asked.

“Of course!” Jiang Ning nodded again.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yulong took the longsword that Jiang Ning handed over.

He gripped the longsword and flicked his wrist.

hum! ! !
The sword hummed softly, its melodious sound echoing throughout the small courtyard.

"What a crisp sound! What a fine sword!" Zhao Yulong exclaimed, looking at the three-foot-long sword in his hand.

Immediately, he stretched out his finger and gently stroked the blade.

Immediately, streaks of blood appeared on the blade; his fingertip had been cut open.

"What a sharp sword!" Zhao Yulong exclaimed again.

Then, he blew on it.

call--

As the strong wind blew, the bloodstains on the blade immediately turned into water stains as if they had been wiped across a mirror, leaving no trace on the sword.

"Inspector Jiang, this sword is worth a fortune, please keep it safe!" Zhao Yulong said.

Jiang Ning nodded, took the longsword from Zhao Yulong, and with a flash of golden light, the sword disappeared from his hand.

"Oh, right!" Zhao Yulong seemed to have thought of something, and then continued, "After sunset yesterday, besides Shangguan Guyun, which other grandmasters did you recognize?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

"The Water Blue Fairy of the Mitian Sect, and two other unheard-of grandmasters, one is the Spirit Serpent Gentleman, and the other is named Xiao Hongyuan!"

"Xiao Hongyuan??" Zhao Yulong looked surprised.

"Does Lord Zhao know Xiao Hongyuan?" Jiang Ning asked, noticing the change in his expression.

“I recognize him!” Zhao Yulong nodded and continued, “Xiao Hongyuan was a grandmaster who was famous in Dongling County thirty years ago. Originally, the head of the Dongling County Inspectorate wanted to invite him, but he refused, so it was my turn to take office.”

Upon hearing Zhao Yulong's words, Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, then sighed.

"What a cruel twist of fate!"

"Yes! Fate is cruel!" Zhao Yulong said with emotion, then continued, "Xiao Hongyuan's fate was completely different because of one wrong decision! If he had agreed back then, he wouldn't be lying dead in the wilderness now!"

“Xiao Hongyuan’s martial arts talent is above mine. If he hadn’t encountered any unforeseen events, he might have been able to reach the level of a second-grade grandmaster in a few decades.”

Jiang Ning remained silent.

He knew it was just Zhao Yulong's flattery.

If it were truly possible to enter the realm of a second-grade Grandmaster so easily.

There will be no shortage of second-rank individuals in the world.

"Let's get back to the point!" Zhao Yulong refocused: "Inspector Jiang, if you want to take action against Divine Sword Manor, why do you need to use Yan Yikuan's troops! You can command the personnel of my Inspectorate."

"With Lord Zhao's words, that's perfect!" Jiang Ning smiled.

Compared to the Five Swords Sect, the Divine Sword Manor has more powerful experts.

Today, Shenjian Villa still has a veteran grandmaster.

If we were to use the same force we used to surround the Five Swords Sect to deal with the Divine Sword Manor, it would be completely insufficient.

Only by exerting more effort and quickly slaughtering martial arts experts can the situation be brought under control.

Now that Zhao Yulong can freely deploy his personnel, there is no shortage of high-end combat power.

Dealing with the Five Swords Sect and the Mitian Sect will become incredibly easy.

Thoughts flashed through Jiang Ning's mind, and he then said to Zhao Yulong, "Lord of the Manor, I intend to conquer the gates of Divine Sword Manor and Mitian Sect. We'll split everything 50/50 then. What do you think?"

"A 50/50 split? Don't be ridiculous!" Zhao Yulong immediately shook his head repeatedly.

He met Jiang Ning's gaze, smiled, and said, "Envoy Jiang single-handedly resolved the encirclement and attack of four Grandmasters. This single battle has already laid the foundation for the situation in Dongling County."

"I'm just sending some people here to do the finishing touches. How dare they take half the profits?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yulong slowly shook his head.

Then he said, "I'll just take one-tenth of the profits as a token, after all, I need to appease the people below. I can't let them go on a mission, risk their lives, and then get nothing in return!"

"Ten percent?" Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened, then he shook his head: "That's too little!"

"That's plenty!" Zhao Yulong shook his head with a smile. "Divine Sword Manor is much richer than ordinary sects. It's a power that rose to prominence because of sword forging. And you have a bright future ahead of you. Now is the time when you need a lot of resources to support you, so there's no need to be polite!"

"Twenty percent, I guess!" Jiang Ning said.

Upon hearing this, and seeing Jiang Ning's firm tone, which seemed genuine, Zhao Yulong chuckled.

"Okay, two-tenths, two-tenths! I guess I'm getting a good deal on you!"

Jiang Ning said, "How can this be considered taking advantage of me? If Yan Yikuan were to deploy troops, the price we would pay would likely be much higher."

He didn't take it seriously.

Giving up 20% is not just a polite gesture.

Although he could tell that Zhao Yulong genuinely only wanted to take 10%.

But he can't actually do that.

According to regulations, 50% of the resources collected by local authorities must be turned over to the state.

But how could he possibly be so honest as to hand over 50%?
After all, he earned all of this through his own hard work.

Taking action against Shenjian Villa and Mitianmen is a matter of great importance and cannot be handled as simply as dealing with the Five Swords Sect.

Therefore, by giving up 10%, he effectively doubled Zhao Yulong's earnings.

Only in this way can we stand on the same side, and handing over a small percentage or two is enough.

After a while.

After the discussion was completed, Zhao Yulong and Bai Luoyu took their leave together.

It will take them half a day to mobilize manpower.

"My lord, we shall also take our leave!" Zhou Xing said respectfully.

"Wait!" Jiang Ning raised his hand to stop the three of them.

He then took out three jade bottles and placed them on the table.

“Drink this, and your strength will reach a new level!” Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, sir!" Zhou Xing saw the jade bottles on the table, grabbed one without hesitation, and drank it all in one gulp.

A few days ago, he personally experienced how significant the effect of the items bestowed by Jiang Ning on improving his physical body was.

He felt that if he tried again, he might be able to make another progress within half a month.

The three drank the gift from Jiangning and then took their leave again.

the other side.

Zhao Yulong politely bid farewell to Jiang Li before leaving.

After walking several dozen meters away, I heard the gate behind me closing.

Zhao Yulong then stopped and turned to look at the house built against the mountain behind him.

"Brother Bai, what do you think Jiang Ning's strength is now?" Thinking of the information Jiang Ning had just revealed, Zhao Yulong still couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

He single-handedly fought four grandmasters and killed them all in the suburbs; this combat power had exceeded his expectations.

"I don't know!" Bai Luoyu also looked in the direction of Jiang Ning, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

A third-grade grandmaster was someone he previously considered completely unapproachable.

Even though he was a very high-ranking figure in Dongling County.

However, one must treat those grandmaster-level experts with respect.

The Inspector of Dongling County might be seen as a formidable figure, someone not to be trifled with, by high-ranking officials and nobles.

However, he knew that in the eyes of a grandmaster, he was still someone who couldn't be considered respectable.

In a sense, a grandmaster has transcended the mortal body and possesses a lifespan that ordinary people cannot have.

The breakthrough in lifespan has clearly broken the limits of species.

It can be said that grandmasters and those below them are no longer the same species.

Although they look the same, they are completely different on a life level.

He also knew that many masters regarded ordinary people as ants and disdained to associate with them.

Even someone of his status would find it difficult to earn the genuine respect of those masters.

These beings, who were like gods and immortals, were killed by Jiang Ning in one fell swoop, killing four of them.

Moreover, those four are all top-tier masters, not weaklings who have just entered this level.

“He may have already approached the ranks of top grandmasters!” Zhao Yulong said again at this moment.

"A top-tier grandmaster?" Bai Luoyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yulong noticed the doubt in Bai Luoyu's voice and said, "Grandmasters are generally divided into three types: weak grandmasters, strong grandmasters, and top grandmasters."

"Just a few months ago, I was a truly weak Grandmaster. I had only completed one blood transfusion and hadn't even mastered the realm of oneness with heaven and man!"

"Even now, I am still in the category of weak Grandmaster."

Upon hearing Zhao Yulong's words, Bai Luoyu couldn't help but ask, "Then what is a Grandmaster?"

Zhao Yulong said, "A person who surpasses the veteran grandmasters, like Ye Zhengqi, is a true strong grandmaster! Someone like Shangguan Guyun is on the dividing line between strong and weak."

"True grandmasters are basically those who have mastered their own martial arts essence and completed three blood transfusions."

Hear the words.

"Hiss!" Bai Luoyu gasped in shock: "This is what you call a Grandmaster?"

“That’s right!” Zhao Yulong nodded: “A true grandmaster can fight several veteran grandmasters alone without being defeated.”

"What about the top grandmasters?" Bai Luoyu asked, voicing her doubts.

"A top-tier grandmaster!" Zhao Yulong's eyes were filled with longing. "That's a truly unimaginable existence. One person can break through ten thousand troops, and one person can easily kill ten veteran grandmasters."

At this point, Zhao Yulong looked at Bai Luoyu and said, "You need to know that each Grandmaster is practically indestructible, with extremely strong vitality! Defeating a Grandmaster and killing a Grandmaster are two completely different concepts."

“A powerful Grandmaster can defeat Shangguan Guyun, Fairy Shui Lan, Xiao Hongyuan and the other two, but cannot kill them! In particular, none of the four Grandmasters escaped with their lives, which is enough to show that Inspector Jiang is very close to the ranks of top Grandmasters.”

Upon hearing these words from Zhao Yulong...

Bai Luoyu said, "In that case, isn't Brother Jiang even stronger than Prefect Ye?"

Zhao Yulong nodded and continued, "Based on Jiang Xunshi's performance yesterday, his current strength should be greater than Ye Fushi's. Ye Fushi is only a true Grandmaster, and he is not qualified to fight against a second-grade Grandmaster! But a top-tier Grandmaster is fully qualified to fight against an ordinary second-grade Grandmaster!"

"Are there even stronger categories above the top grandmasters?" Bai Luoyu asked.

"Yes!" Zhao Yulong nodded and continued, "Above the top grandmasters, there are invincible grandmasters. They are even more powerful than ordinary second-grade grandmasters, and are infinitely close to being martial arts legends!"

"What is a martial arts myth?" Bai Luoyu asked.

"If Inspector Jiang can complete nine blood transfusions, he will be a martial arts legend." At this point, Zhao Yulong suddenly thought of the method Jiang Ning practiced, and a whimsical thought arose in his mind.

He might actually be able to do it!
