Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 563 Top-tier spiritual weapon, wielder: Shangguan Feilong!

At the entrance of Shenjian Manor.

Looking at Sun Ming at this moment, Zhao Yulong felt immense pressure.

At this moment, he realized that the strongest person in the Divine Sword Manor was not Shangguan Guyun, but the outsider in front of him.

This martial arts prodigy broke the rule that only the Shangguan family could become the head of the manor.

He couldn't help but think of information about Sun Ming.

Although he did not grow up in Dongling County, he was a native of Dongling County. After taking office in Dongling County last year, he also read through a large number of past events in Dongling County and the records of various people.

Sun Ming was an extraordinary person in his eyes.

From a menial blacksmith apprentice, he rose step by step to become a high-ranking member of the Divine Sword Manor.

As someone from another family, he broke the Shangguan clan's nine-term reign as the head of the manor and became the nominal number one person of the Divine Sword Manor.

After reading about Sun Ming's past, he felt that Sun Ming was very extraordinary.

Shenjian Manor is the most powerful force in Dongling County besides the government, and almost all important positions are held by members of the Shangguan family.

Eighty percent of the people in the entire manor are surnamed Shangguan.

People with different surnames will find it extremely difficult to gain important positions if they do not change their surname.

Sun Ming, however, was different.

He assumed the position of master of Shenjian Manor despite not having a family name.

As for Shangguan Jincheng, he was merely the head of the Shangguan clan and had to obey Sun Ming's orders.

He originally thought he valued Sun Ming highly, so he restrained his behavior and did not forcibly break into the Divine Sword Manor.

Although this was Jiang Ning's idea, it was also out of fear of Sun Ming.

After all, Sun Ming had not shown his strength for more than ten years since he took over as the master of Shenjian Villa.

Nobody knows where Sun Ming is now.

He had no idea.

Therefore, he dared not make any rash moves before he had tested the strength of Sun Ming.

Now that Sun Ming's strength has been confirmed, he feels not relieved, but rather under immense pressure.

The sword intent has reached its peak, transcending the boundaries between heaven and man!
This is enough to prove that Sun Ming's swordsmanship has reached a superb level, and it also means that Sun Ming has long become a master of the celestial realm.

This also shows that Sun Ming's strength has surpassed that of Shangguan Guyun, who was previously known as the number one person in Dongling County, and is even above him.

ponder for a moment.

Zhao Yulong said, "Every family has its rules, and every country has its laws!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Ming slowly nodded: "I agree with what Lord Zhao said! Every family has its rules, and every country has its laws! He's absolutely right!"

He then continued, "How about this? I'll hand over fifty people, and Lord Zhao can take them back. This is the law of the land, and Lord Zhao can deal with them as he sees fit! Lord Zhao, give me the rest of the list. I will definitely hold a meeting to seriously deal with the bad apples in the manor, and I will give Lord Zhao a satisfactory answer afterward. What do you think?"

"Master, your words are rather disheartening to the people in the manor!" someone said coldly from behind.

"Shut up, Jin Hong!!" Shangguan Jincheng shouted.

"Brother, what are you afraid of him for? What right does a mere outsider have to demand that we hand over our people? Why should the Shangguan family fear a mere inspectorate!"

The man finished speaking.

"Snapped--"

Shangguan Jincheng immediately slapped his seventh brother.

"Shut up!" he snapped.

Seeing that Shangguan Jinhong remained silent, Shangguan Jincheng then looked at Sun Ming and Zhao Yulong.

"The Shangguan family will obey the Master's orders in everything!"

"You're quite clever!" Sun Ming said with a half-smile.

Then he looked at Zhao Yulong: "Lord Zhao, what do you think?"

Zhao Yulong looked at Sun Ming seriously for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Not good!"

"Alas!" Sun Ming sighed upon hearing this, and said, "It seems that Lord Zhao is unwilling to show mercy and only wants to wipe out Divine Sword Manor! In that case, we can only settle this with our own strength!"

Then, Sun Ming added, "Lord Zhao, if I'm not mistaken, the old master has either been captured or killed!"

These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, making everyone's ears ring.

"impossible!"

"This is impossible!!"

“How is this possible??!”

"."

The people of Shenjian Manor couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Compared to the others, Shangguan Jincheng appeared quite calm.

Sun Ming guessed it, and so did he.

at this time.

Zhao Yulong looked at Sun Ming and smiled faintly: "Master Sun is indeed clever!"

“If I couldn’t even see that Lord Zhao has the confidence to surround Divine Sword Manor, then I wouldn’t be qualified to be the manor lord!” Sun Ming said.

Then he added, "It's a pity that Lord Zhao is unwilling to show such kindness. In that case, Lord Zhao, call out the people behind you! You alone are not qualified to take anyone away from the manor behind me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Ming stood tall and straight, like a sharp sword.

at this time.

He suddenly looked behind him.

"So... the people behind Lord Zhao went into the manor!!" Sun Ming glanced coldly at Zhao Yulong, took a step into the manor, and then disappeared into the spot as a streak of sword light.

the other side.

The treasure vault of Shenjian Manor.

With his Heavenly Eye able to see in all directions, Jiang Ning easily found the treasure vault of the Divine Sword Manor.

There are countless divine weapons and a great variety of rare metals and precious stones.

After infiltrating the manor and dealing with the guards of the treasure vault, Jiang Ning easily broke open the vault door and entered.

The mustard leaves he had photographed earlier also played a significant role at this moment.

Although the mustard leaf photographed was a single leaf, the internal space of a single leaf is the size of an ordinary pond, making it easy to contain the contents of the Divine Sword Manor's treasury.

However, after he finished looting and walked out of the kauku, he saw a white-robed, white-haired man standing on the high wall, holding a long sword. His age was unknown from his appearance.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning's gaze immediately sharpened.

Just now, while he was in the treasure vault, he did not use his divine sense to continuously scan all directions.

But with his spiritual perception, even without deliberately monitoring the surroundings, it's difficult for anything to escape his senses.

But he was in the treasure vault and did not notice the arrival of the white-robed, white-haired man.

"Harmony between man and nature!" Jiang Ning's gaze was solemn as he slowly uttered the four words.

"My name is Shangguan Feilong. Please return the treasures in the vault, and I will pretend nothing happened!" said the white-robed, white-haired man.

"Shangguan Feilong," Jiang Ning murmured, then said, "The previous generation of the Shangguan family!"

“Not bad!” Shangguan Feilong nodded slowly.

"I never imagined that Divine Sword Manor had such a profound foundation!" Jiang Ning exclaimed in admiration.

At this moment, he understood that the white-robed, white-haired Shangguan Feilong in front of him was one of the secrets and trump cards of the Divine Sword Manor.

at the same time.

Shangguan Feilong also gripped the long sword in his hand tightly.

He could sense a faint sense of apprehension from the man in front of him about the longsword in his hand; the blade trembled incessantly in his grasp.

As the sword slave of his family's heirloom sword, he was well aware of the power of the sword in his hand.

It was a divine weapon with extremely powerful spiritual energy, powerful enough to command generations of outstanding individuals from the Shangguan clan.

The Divine Sword Manor has risen from a small sword-forging manor to become the dominant force in Dongling County, and the spirit sword in its hands has played a crucial role in this success.

With the help of the divine sword, generation after generation of sword slaves all reached the third rank and became Celestial Masters.

With such a continuous and unbroken succession, how could Shenjian Villa not prosper?
As a sword slave of this generation, he received help from the spirit sword and also stepped into the realm of a third-grade grandmaster.

But this will be the place he will be forever stuck in.

The role of the sword slave is to nourish the spirit sword.

Offering spiritual nourishment to the soul will, over time, lead to premature aging.

His head was completely white, which was the reason for this. Just then...

Jiang Ning said, "Make your move and let me see the true strength of Divine Sword Manor!"

“Stubborn to the end!” Shangguan Feilong said coldly.

Immediately, he slowly drew his longsword.

In an instant.

Its brilliance shines in all directions.

The longsword was drawn from its sheath, as if ten thousand rays of light burst forth in all directions.

"Such powerful sword intent!" Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened.

At that moment, he knew that the mysterious expert from the Shangguan family in front of him was stronger than Shangguan Guyun.

"Indeed, how could a powerful ruler like Dongling County, standing for over a hundred years and becoming a regional hegemon, be supported by an old and frail grandmaster alone?"

"Only then is it reasonable!"

A thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

next moment.

The longsword in Shangguan Feilong's hand was completely drawn, its brilliance and sword intent concealed, suddenly turning into an ordinary longsword.

But this scene of radiant glory shining in all directions happened just a moment ago.

"Go!" Shangguan Feilong threw his long sword, the sword flashing like lightning.

hum! !

The sound of a sword ringing out rang out, and the air was broken apart layer by layer like waves.

“Thunderous Sword Cry!” Sun Ming, who appeared to the side, slowly uttered these four words.

As Shangguan Feilong slowly drew his sword, its brilliance illuminating all directions, Zhao Yulong noticed the commotion and decided to ignore Zhao Yulong.

With his current strength, he can completely disregard Zhao Yulong.

He also understood that if Shangguan Guyun were to really get into trouble, it wouldn't be something Zhao Yulong could do.

Shangguan Guyun was very strong. Before his breakthrough, he would have been the number one expert in Dongling County.

At least that's what it seems on the surface.

Since his breakthrough, his sword intent has reached its peak, connecting heaven and man. He has completed four blood transfusions, and his strength is far superior to Shangguan Guyun's.

Now, he is very confident that he is the strongest person in Dongling County.

If he were to face Shangguan Guyun, with his skill and realm, he could similarly leave Shangguan Guyun with nowhere to escape.

But at this moment, seeing Shangguan Feilong's sword control technique, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

This sword strike clearly demonstrated a mastery of sword intent, no weaker than his, and had also reached the level of transcending heaven and earth.

"The Shangguan family's foundation is indeed profound. It turns out that Shangguan Feilong, who has been in seclusion in the back mountain for many years, is the strongest member of the Shangguan family!" Sun Ming thought to himself.

His gaze then fell on Jiang Ning.

When Zhao Yulong came tonight, he knew that Shangguan Guyun had probably run into trouble.

He was also very clear about Shangguan Guyun's previous movements.

If Shangguan Guyun had gone to Dongling City and nothing had happened, why would he have allowed Zhao Yulong to bring people to Shenjian Manor?
With the insightful abilities of a veteran grandmaster, how could the fact that the inspectorate had taken away hundreds of people, including Grandmaster Zhao Yulong, not have escaped Shangguan Guyun's notice?

Moreover, if Shangguan Guyun were still in Dongling City, how could Zhao Yulong dare to travel thousands of miles to Shenjian Manor?
"To be able to deceive my senses and perception, could he be the person behind Zhao Yulong?" Sun Ming thought to himself as he looked at Jiang Ning.

"But looking so young, could he be someone behind Zhao Yulong?" Another thought flashed through Sun Ming's mind.

Right now.

Jiang Ning pinched his two fingers together to form a sword gesture and circulated his qi and blood throughout his body.

In an instant.

A bright golden light emanated from its entire body.

In the twilight, it radiated golden light, like a god.

Between the electric light and flint.

The sword pointed and collided with the flying longsword.

Zheng——

The sound of swords rang out.

The longsword flew away, and Jiang Ning immediately took three steps back.

"Above Shangguan Guyun!" Jiang Ning thought to himself as he looked at the stinging pain in his fingertips.

Previously, when faced with Shangguan Guyun's supplies, he only defended and did not attack, resulting in only his protective golden light being broken.

Faced with Shangguan Feiyun's sword control technique that produced the Thunderous Sword Cry, he did not hold back. He pointed with all his might, but his fingertip was stinging, and he took three steps back.

The difference between the two is evident.

the other side.

Shangguan Feilong leaped up and grabbed the longsword that Jiang Ning had knocked away.

next moment.

His body rose into the air again, until he merged with the moon.

The bright moon overhead completely enveloped Shangguan Feilong's figure.

"Man and sword as one, a celestial being descending from the heavens!!" Zhao Yulong, who arrived late, appeared to the side and looked at Shangguan Feilong's move with a solemn expression.

"Master Zhao has good judgment!" Sun Ming glanced at Zhao Yulong and said calmly.

"He is... Shangguan Feilong?" Zhao Yulong asked again, his eyes showing a solemn expression.

“My father, Shangguan Feilong!” Shangguan Jincheng also caught up at this moment.

At this moment, Shangguan Jincheng stared intently at his father, Shangguan Feilong's, attack.

At this moment, he understood that the future path of Shenjian Manor was no longer something he could decide.

Moreover, only the people present can make the decision.

His father, carrying the family's heirloom sword, emerged from the forbidden area.

With Sun Ming's strength added in, either of them is stronger than Shangguan Guyun.

Their combined strength far surpasses that of the Divine Sword Manor.

If these two lose, then there's no point in the Divine Sword Manor struggling anymore.

"Father, you must win!!" Shangguan Jincheng murmured to himself.

At this moment, Shangguan Jincheng felt uneasy.

He had seen the exchange of blows between the two from afar.

The attack that his own father unleashed, a thunderous sword-like phenomenon, was shattered by that man's two fingers.

The sheer strength of his physical body filled him with astonishment and made him extremely uneasy.

At the same time, Sun Ming also realized that the rumors about the Shangguan family were not unfounded.

The long sword in Shangguan Feilong's hand is the divine sword passed down through generations of the Shangguan family.

This is also the root of the prosperity of Shenjian Villa to this day.

The man, however, was able to knock away the Shangguan family's divine sword with just his sword fingers; his physical strength astonished him.

"Who is he?" Sun Ming suddenly asked.

"Inspector of Dongling Prefecture, Jiangning!" Zhao Yulong said.

"He is Jiang Ning?!" Sun Ming's expression turned solemn.

“Jiangning??” Shangguan Jincheng asked.

Upon hearing Zhao Yulong's answer, the two were immediately taken aback.

They had already heard of the name Jiang Ning.

However, they simply couldn't reconcile this person's name with the person currently engaged in fierce combat with Shangguan Feilong.

Who is Shangguan Feilong?
It is the foundation of the Divine Sword Manor, and the swordsmanship of the Shangguan clan!
In their ears, Jiang Ning was nothing more than a rising star!

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Shangguan Feilong's attack.

this moment.

Although Shangguan Feilong's sword moves were slow, his sword momentum was constantly growing stronger.

As Shangguan Feilong slowly descended, the long sword in his hand once again burst forth with dazzling light, illuminating the surrounding courtyard as bright as day.
