Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 565 The Battle Ends, A Top Grandmaster's Sword!
Excalibur Villa.

"That's about enough!" Jiang Ning slashed out again, scattering the surging sword intent.

Sun Ming retreated again, only to see Jiang Ning stop his approaching steps.

"Are you tired?" The thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

at this time.

Jiang Ning gripped the blade in his hand, his five fingers tightening.

hum!
The sound of the blade hummed, like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, making my eardrums ache.

"What astonishing sword intent!!" Sun Ming's eyes narrowed, and his heart sank as he looked at Jiang Ning.

He hadn't even used his full strength yet!
After fighting Sun Ming for a long time, Jiang Ning had a general idea of ​​his own strength.

With just the perfected Jingzhe Blade Technique, he could easily suppress Sun Ming, who was infinitely close to a top-tier grandmaster.

In his normal state, he already possesses abilities comparable to those of ordinary top-tier grandmasters.

"With my full power, I wonder how many of my strikes Sun Ming can withstand?" Jiang Ning thought to himself, his sword intent intensifying.

now.

Sun Ming stared at Jiang Ning, his eyelids twitching.

At this moment, Jiang Ning was a sword in his eyes that could cleave heaven and earth and sever all things in the world.

"What kind of sword intent is this?!" He was greatly alarmed.

at this time.

laugh!
The world was as thin as paper, and the blade was as sharp as a knife. Jiang Ning cleaved the world in two with a single stroke.

Before the blade even fell, Sun Ming felt as if a blade had grazed his brow, sending a faint, elusive pain through him, like a hallucination or an unidentifiable wound due to its shallowness.

Sun Ming's accumulated sword intent surged forth once more.

The sword light surged like a tide towards the blade light slashing towards Jiang Ning.

laugh! !

In just a moment, the blade light sliced ​​through Sun Ming's River Sword Intent as if cutting through a long cloth.

The blade flashed incessantly, continuing its slash towards Sun Ming.

Seeing the flash of the blade, Sun Ming felt a surge of helplessness.

suddenly.

The long sword in his hand gleamed brightly.

He then felt a surge of power coursing through his body toward the longsword in his hand.

next moment.

laugh--

A beam of sword light surged upwards, like the Milky Way hanging upside down in the heavens.

Tsk! !
When the two forces collided, the strong wind shattered, shooting out in all directions like sharp arrows.

"This sword is truly extraordinary!" Jiang Ning's eyes blazed with fury as he looked at the longsword in Sun Ming's hand and couldn't help but smile.

Then, he slashed out with his sword again.

The blade gleamed brilliantly, transforming into a single blade capable of cleaving through anything.

Sun Ming felt as if the longsword in his hand had come alive, frantically devouring his power, and then profound sword intent burst forth from the longsword.

Just two sword strikes later.

He felt his dantian was depleted, and his qi and blood strength was reduced by seventy or eighty percent.

at this time.

He suddenly felt the sword intent around Jiang Ning intensify by three points, and saw Jiang Ning's chest light up.

This brightness is not a visual brightness, but a brightness projected into his mind and into his eyes.

A sharp light, like a knife, rose slowly.

A sharp edge suddenly appeared.

"His body possesses a precious bone structure, and he is born with extraordinary abilities!" Looking at Jiang Ning, eight words flashed through Sun Ming's mind.

Then his gaze fell on Jiang Ning's pupils.

At this moment, as Jiang Ning unleashed his full sword intent, the flames in his eyes blazed brightly.

The flames seemed capable of devouring everything in the world, burning all things within them.

With two extraordinary phenomena upon him, who could possibly stand against him? A wave of helplessness washed over Sun Ming.

He allowed the longsword in his hand to continue to frantically draw power from his body.

Just a moment later, he felt his dantian empty and his qi and blood depleted.

Correspondingly, the radiance emanating from the longsword in his hand became even brighter.

"Useless!!" A cold, emotionless voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Sword Spirit?!" Sun Ming was shocked.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning cleaved with his sword, and the blade flashed.

Drawn by the energy, a Milky Way suddenly appeared above Sun Ming, flowing from west to east with no return.

The Milky Way hangs upside down in the sky, both illusory and real.

"This is... Heavenly River? Heavenly River Sword Intent???" Sun Ming was mesmerized, but the longsword in his hand was no longer under his control.

Using his sword as a guide, he charged towards the slash that Jiang Ning was about to deliver.

As soon as Sun Ming moved, he was covered by the illusory image of the Milky Way that appeared above his head.

Then, it was as if the illusion had come into reality.

The waves surge onward, undeterred by their relentless flow!
the other side.

Shangguan Feilong looked distressed.

He then understood why the sword spirit had asked him to throw the sword at Sun Ming.

The same sword displayed vastly different power in his hands and in Sun Ming's hands; they were on completely different levels.

"So, in front of Sun Ming, I'm just a mediocre talent!" Shangguan Feilong felt extremely bitter.

With the help of his family's divine sword, he achieved mastery of swordsmanship.

At that time, he was full of vigor and felt that he was the number one person in Dongling County, surpassing Shangguan Guyun.

Only now did he realize that in front of Sun Ming, he was nothing more than an ordinary person.

His gaze then fell on Jiang Ning.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He was mediocre in front of Sun Ming, but wasn't Sun Ming just as mediocre in front of Jiang Ning?
In the battlefield.

The moment the intent of the blade clashed with the intent of the sword, the Milky Way reflected by the sword intent instantly dissipated.

Jiang Ning didn't take this seriously.

This strike was the result of mastering the sword intent after breaking through limits more than ten times.

It also activated the bone in his chest.

This strike was his strongest strike under normal circumstances.

If he can't take down Sun Ming with this one strike, then he'll have no choice but to resort to a war of attrition.

In addition, he would unleash the sixteen-foot golden body divine power.

Once he uses his sixteen-foot golden body, his strength will rise to another level.

With an indestructible body, one can lift mountains.

Such a change is enough to overcome all other methods with one force.

"Huh~!" Just as the thoughts were swirling in his mind, he couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

After shattering the sword intent, he did not feel any strong resistance.

It was merely a fleeting moment when swords clashed.

The longsword that Sun Mingzhong had been holding was cleaved away without any resistance, leaving only the emaciated Sun Mingzhong facing the sword intent that still had half of its power remaining.

this moment.

Sun Ming's image was reflected in his pupils, exactly the same as when his life force had plummeted during the blood transfusion.

"It must be the work of that sword!" Jiang Ning suddenly realized.

The glint of blades also enveloped Sun Ming.

The moment the blade's light faded.

A bloodstain appeared between Sun Ming's eyebrows; his life was like a broken bucket, rapidly slipping away.

"That was a beautiful cut," Sun Ming murmured as his body slowly collapsed.

Seeing Sun Ming slowly fall, Jiang Ning knew that Sun Ming's life was over.

His strike nearly cleaved Sun Ming in two.

Even though the skull and bones throughout the body had a hardness exceeding that of refined iron, they were all cleaved in two by his single strike.

The body is now intact, but it is only because of the master's powerful physique and vitality that the flesh and blood are healing and the fascia are reconnecting.

But the lingering intent of the blade meant that no matter how hard the body roared, it was impossible to save Sun Ming's life.

Unless he takes the initiative.

Subsequently.

Jiang Ning looked at the longsword that he had cleaved away.

The longsword hummed in the air, flipping and tumbling as it flew into the distance.

It seemed as if it had truly been struck by an irresistible force and been sent flying.

next moment.

Jiang Ning's figure flashed, as if traversing countless layers of space, instantly appearing beside the longsword he had knocked away. He reached out and grabbed it, and the longsword fell into his hand without any apparent abnormality.

If Jiang Ning hadn't just seen the sword's extraordinary nature with his own eyes, he would have thought it was just an ordinary longsword.

Subsequently.

Jiang Ning gripped his longsword and looked down at the group of disciples from the mountain village.

thump—

He stepped into thin air and took a step forward.

In an instant.

An invisible rhythm emanated from his body, and the world instantly became quiet.

Within a radius of over a hundred feet, time seemed to stand still at this moment, and even the evening breeze ceased.

"Sun Ming has been executed. Anyone who resists arrest will be killed without exception!"

Jiang Ning's voice echoed throughout Shenjian Manor.

Looking at the man in the night sky, Shangguan Jincheng felt the air around him freeze, and a bitter feeling welled up inside him.

Even someone as powerful as Sun Ming, comparable to a top grandmaster, perished. What trump card does the entire Divine Sword Manor have left to resist?
Moreover, hundreds of inspectors from the provincial police station were watching them intently from the outside.

If they resisted, he could foresee that the manor would be awash in blood tonight, with countless dead and wounded.

With Jiang Ning in charge, the chances of the people in the manor breaking through the encirclement and escaping into the vast darkness are almost zero.

He immediately looked at Shangguan Feilong.

"Let's just vote!" Shangguan Feilong sighed.

"Yes, Father!" Shangguan Jincheng aged several years in an instant.

The next day.

The summit of a solitary peak.

At the moment the sun rises.

Jiangning was bathed in golden light.

Looking down at the Divine Sword Manor, he already knew that Dongling County would soon become the domain of the Inspectorate.

The imperial court's control over the Dongling Prefecture will be greatly enhanced.

The public security situation will also be better.

He can also obtain more resources.

He couldn't help but think of the battle last night.

Both Shangguan Feilong and Sun Ming exceeded the records in the previous intelligence.

According to intelligence reports, Shangguan Guyun is the strongest person in Dongling County on the surface, and also the strongest person in Shenjian Villa.

As for Sun Ming, he is merely a veteran-level grandmaster.

As for Shangguan Feilong, there are even fewer records about him.

In reality, Shangguan Feilong underwent three blood transfusions, achieving mastery of sword intent and transcending the boundaries between heaven and man.

His strength has already reached the level of a grandmaster.

Although both he and Shangguan Guyun underwent three blood transfusions, their strengths were on completely different levels.

Shangguan Guyun is getting old and his blood and energy are waning, which has affected his actual combat effectiveness.

Shangguan Feilong is in excellent condition, much better than Shangguan Guyun.

Most importantly, Shangguan Feilong's sword intent has reached a high level, achieving a level that connects heaven and man.

With the enhancement of sword intent, Shangguan Feilong's actual combat strength is far superior to that of Shangguan Guyun.

Not to mention that Shangguan Feilong wields his family's heirloom sword, which would further enhance his combat power.

But compared to Sun Ming, this is nothing.

Sun Ming has undergone four blood transfusions, only one less than himself.

Moreover, he mastered both sword intents and achieved a state of harmony between heaven and man.

He successfully drew spiritual inspiration into his body three times.

Such a level of skill is no less than that of Ye Zhengqi, the Inspector of Guangning Prefecture.

He is a formidable master who has achieved great things on his own.

After receiving the blessing of that spiritual weapon, his combat power was almost on par with that of a top-tier grandmaster.

Jiang Ning was even more certain that the three final sword strikes Sun Ming unleashed last night possessed the combat power of a top-tier grandmaster.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Ning looked at the Shangguan family's heirloom sword stuck in the ground.

After the battle last night, he learned a lot of information from Shangguan Feilong.

After a moment's thought, he looked at his control panel again.

[Source Energy]: 71077
The energy points increased again after one day, breaking through the 70,000 mark.

【Skill】：Wind and Thunder Step (Seven times breaking the limit 1109/8000) (Characteristics: Breath of the Wind, Swift Wind and Thunder, Chasing the Wind and Lightning, Rhythm of the Wind, Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, Wind Whisperer, Deep Stillness and Wind Swaying)

"It seems that for a long time, I'll be worried about experience points!" Looking at his current stats, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

The defeat of Shenjian Villa will undoubtedly bring him considerable resources.

Then, he raised his hand and grabbed.

hum-

With a tremor, the longsword was pulled from the crevice in the rock and flew into his hand.

“A spiritual weapon with extraordinary spiritual power!” he said to the longsword in his hand.

The longsword in his hand remained completely still, as if it were just an ordinary longsword.

"Fine, since you're unwilling to talk, I'll refine you and use the materials to enhance my blade embryo!" Jiang Ning said.

The words fell.

He instantly noticed a barely perceptible tremor emanating from the longsword in his hand.

next moment.

He opened his right hand, and a ball of turquoise flame instantly appeared in his palm.

At the base of the flames, lotus petals were blooming.

This is a rare treasure that Wang Qingtan once gave him, called the Glazed Treasure Flame.

After digesting the Glazed Treasure Flame, the seed of the Glazed Divine Flame remained in his body.

Now, using his vital energy as fuel, the Glazed Divine Fire can be ignited.

A deep blue flame burned in his palm.

As it moved, the air rippled like water.

This also indicates that the temperature of the Glazed Divine Fire is extremely high at this moment.

Then, he mentally reviewed the Spirit Treasure Weapon Forging Technique once more.

The Spiritual Treasure Refining Technique can help him refine treasures and condense the light of spiritual treasures.

It can also help him reforge the treasure, making its power even greater.

Silently reciting the incantation of the Spiritual Treasure Refining Technique, the spiritual weapon passed down through generations of the Shangguan family fell into the Glazed Divine Fire.

In an instant.

The glazed divine fire climbed like vines, and in just a moment, the azure flames adhered to every part of the sword.

Buzz! ! !
The longsword trembled and groaned, its sound carrying a mournful tone.

Jiang Ning smiled, not taking it to heart.

Continue to urge the Glazed Divine Fire to circulate the supply of Qi and blood.

"Spare your life!"

"Spare me!!"

The longsword trembled violently, and the vibration of the sound waves instantly rang in Jiang Ning's ears as a pleading voice.

"So you want to talk?" Jiang Ning asked with a smile.

The longsword trembled violently, as if nodding.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning dispersed the Glazed Divine Fire.

He had already witnessed and personally experienced the wonder of this spirit sword last night.

Whether it was maintaining the Shangguan family's generations of glory, or the power and wonder emanating from Shangguan Feilong and Sun Ming, all of these things stirred something within him.

"Only when blood drips onto the sword can our minds communicate!" Without Jiang Ning's restraint, the longsword hovered in the air, its sword energy shooting out, instantly leaving a line of words on the ground.

"Blood oath?" Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

Having witnessed Sun Ming's fate last night, he knew this sword was no ordinary weapon.

The next few sword strikes from Sun Ming were incredibly powerful, but that wasn't due to Sun Ming's own strength, but rather the strength of the spiritual sword in front of him.

At that time, it was no longer the person controlling the sword, but the sword controlling the person.

The sword intent displayed by the spirit sword was beyond the scope of Sun Ming's mastery, and was clearly a higher level of sword intent.

Especially the last one.

The Milky Way appeared in the night sky, and the surging sword energy instantly transformed into a mighty river.

Compared to Sun Ming's previous River Sword Intent, it is undoubtedly a drop in the ocean!
From what he understands, this sword can help others comprehend the essence of swordsmanship.

That's why Shangguan Feilong was able to get to where he is today.

This is also why the Shangguan family has never declined over generations.

Based on what he had seen last night and everything he had learned from Shangguan Feilong, he understood even more clearly the extraordinary nature of this spirit sword.

With this spiritual sword, it can be said that any martial artist with some potential can master sword intent.

When one's sword intent is perfected and transcends the boundaries between heaven and man, one can become a Grandmaster of Heaven and Man.

Thus, one becomes a powerful being who can control the power of heaven and earth!
