Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 579 Sword Control Technique, First Encounter!

Yanghu Cave Heaven.

Standing on the mountaintop.

Looking around, one can see in all directions.

The ancient forest stretches out like a sea beneath our feet, while in the distance, the water ripples gently.

"It really is a sea, and the place I am in is an island!" Jiang Ning looked around and thought to himself.

Once you reach the summit, your view is completely unobstructed.

With eyes like torches, he could see the surge of countless energies and the places where energy was most concentrated.

next moment.

His gaze quickly settled on the foot of the mountain.

In his line of sight, a golden ball of energy, resembling a torch, was gathering at the foot of the mountain.

And this energy cluster was constantly moving closer to him.

"It seems this is the last opponent!" he realized to himself.

Just now, as he looked around, the entire island came into his view thanks to the profound mystery of his Fiery Eyes.

The area where energy converged was clearly visible, but he did not see any extremely dense spots.

Based on his previous explorations, the presence of energy clusters within his Fiery Eyes signifies the existence of rare and precious spiritual plants.

Like the Crimson Flame Grass and Fire Flame Fruit he had previously swallowed, they were both condensed with rich energy.

The same applies to six-aperture ore and flame stone.

Rare and precious plants must have highly concentrated energy, which forms spots in the field of vision.

When a large number of rare and precious plants are gathered together, they shine like a ball of light.

Therefore, he immediately realized that the people below were coming for him.

"Looks like there's a third person!" he muttered to himself.

According to the opponent chosen for him by the will of the cave, and a vague sense, his opponent was still far away, not the person approaching him from the foot of the mountain.

The person at the foot of the mountain was approaching him directly, either because he shared the same idea as him and wanted to climb to the highest point to observe the terrain.

Otherwise, you would be that person's opponent.

Think of this.

His eyes closed and then opened again, and his pupils returned to normal.

next moment.

Run two fingers across the space between your eyebrows, and a white vertical line appears.

With his divine eye activated, he instantly pierced through all obstacles and saw the agile figure at the foot of the mountain.

at the same time.

at the foot of the mountain.

Wearing a long cyan dress, the beautiful and graceful woman moved swiftly through the mountains like a rabbit.

Two bundles were hanging from her waist on either side, which caused her to be slightly exposed.

She didn't care at all.

The physical appearance is nothing more than a shell.

Immortal cultivators believe in the eternal existence of the primordial spirit and the indestructibility of the true soul.

Standing on the mountaintop.

Using the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Eye, Jiang Ning quietly observed the woman's figure.

"Qingyang Cave Heaven, people from the Qingyang Sect!" he murmured.

He recognized the woman by her clothing.

After observing for a moment and confirming that the woman was coming for him, he looked away.

The white vertical line between his eyebrows then closed.

"It's a good opportunity to see the abilities of the people in this blessed land! Based on my previous observations, this woman holds a high position among the group from Qingyang Cave Heaven, and her strength should be considerable as well! It's a good time to use her to test the strength of the younger generation in Qingyang Cave Heaven!"

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, then made a decision to wait quietly for the woman to arrive.

Here, the power of heaven and earth is forbidden, as is taking off. Speed ​​is also difficult to increase, and even he here is not as fast as one-tenth of the speed outside.

This wait lasted for about half an incense stick's time.

When the woman in the blue dress appeared before him, she was soaked in sweat.

Strands of hair that used to flutter in front of her forehead also stuck to her forehead.

"How long have you been waiting for me?" the woman asked, her breath coming in short gasps, her chest heaving.

“Not too long! Not even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!” Jiang Ning said.

"Not even an incense stick's time?" The woman frowned and looked at Jiang Ning. "You noticed my arrival when I was at the foot of the mountain?"

“Not bad!” Jiang Ning nodded.

"Is it because of your eyes?" the woman asked, looking at Jiang Ning's fiery eyes.

“Not bad!” Jiang Ning nodded again.

"I see!" The woman nodded.

She tore off the two bundles from her waist and threw them aside.

"You're very confident; knowing I'm coming, you don't even try to escape!"

"Is there any point in running away here?" Jiang Ning asked.

"That's true! It really doesn't work!" The woman nodded.

"Are you from Qingyang Cave Heaven?" Jiang Ning suddenly asked.

"Now that you know I come from a blessed land, do you still intend to fight me?" The woman looked at Jiang Ning and smiled.

If it were anyone else, she wouldn't bother saying so much; she would have already taken action.

If you can't catch his sword control technique, you'll die.

She had done this four times before.

There was only one survivor, and that was because the veteran master was too resilient and too difficult to kill.

But upon seeing Jiang Ning, she immediately became interested in chatting with him.

One reason is the unusual phenomenon in Jiang Ning's eyes.

Those born with extraordinary abilities are undoubtedly gifted individuals; this is an ironclad rule.

She naturally didn't feel unqualified to talk to such a person.

Secondly, it was because she found Jiang Ning pleasing to the eye.

"I've only heard of it, but I've never fought against it, so I naturally have this plan!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Did you know that because the environment here is suitable, my combat power is higher than outside? Moreover, my martial arts have reached the third rank." The woman said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened.

He had heard before that due to changes in the environment, the cultivation methods of ancient times were no longer suitable for the present era.

The power displayed by Taoist magic and supernatural abilities is a level weaker than that of ancient times.

But the woman in front of me says that her combat power here is higher than outside.

"Is it because of the environment?" Jiang Ning asked.

“Indeed!” The woman nodded. “This place is the training ground of the Shangyang Immortal Sect. The cave world is independent of heaven and earth, and the environment is still that of ancient times. Here, I am no different from being in ancient times!”

"I see!" Jiang Ning nodded. "Thank you!"

"You're being too polite!" The woman smiled, then supported herself with her supple waist. "If you were a disciple of my Qingyang Sect, I would definitely want to become your Daoist partner. What a pity! You are just one of the masses, limited by your perspective, unaware of the vastness of the world!"

"Can you tell me about the Shangyang Immortal Sect?" Jiang Ning pressed on, wanting to learn more from the woman.

"Shangyang Immortal Sect, there's nothing to say!" The woman shook her head: "They were a top overlord who spanned several domains in ancient times. This wondrous cave world is merely one of the training grounds used by Shangyang Immortal Sect to select disciples!"

After saying that, the woman held the long sword she had been gripping horizontally.

"Please accept the sword!!"

"I am Jiang Ning!"

"So you're Jiang Ning!" the woman exclaimed. "Wang Xuan!"

The woman simply stated her name.

Then, she made a sword finger with her right hand and pointed the sword finger at the scabbard in her hand.

hum!
The longsword hummed softly, transforming into a beam of sword light as it was drawn from its sheath.

"This is the art of sword control!" Wang Xuan exclaimed.

This was completely different from his indifferent attitude when he fought the other opponents.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's gaze was fixed on the long sword that hovered three feet in front of the woman.

The ancient cultivation methods can unleash their full power here, and he dares not underestimate them at all.

next moment.

"Go!" Wang Xuan snapped softly.

hum!
The longsword trembled slightly, pierced the sky, and transformed into a sword light that rushed straight towards Jiang Ning.

Between the electric light and flint.

Jiang Ning was enveloped in golden light, and his Vajra Indestructible Body was fully activated. He then shifted his body to the side, narrowly avoiding the sword.

The longsword swept past him, instantly changing its momentum, and attacked him again.

Jiang Ning dodged repeatedly.

In an instant, sword light flashed and sword energy crisscrossed.

“Constantly dodging is a slow death!” Wang Xuan said.

At this moment, after a brief dodge, Jiang Ning felt that this sword control technique posed little threat to him.

It is straightforward and forceful, but lacks agility.

With his extraordinary fiery eyes, he could see the flow of any energy and the trajectory of the longsword. "Sword light splits, change!!" Wang Xuan shouted softly.

As his words fell.

The longsword instantly split into eight, and attacked Jiang Ning once again.

Faced with this attack, Jiang Ning once again slightly turned his body, easily dodging the real sword strike.

Under the watchful eye of the fire, falsehoods have nowhere to hide.

Then, he struck out with his palm.

hum! !

The longsword was instantly knocked away.

That's it? ! !

Jiang Ning was taken aback when he saw the flying sword lose its balance.

Facing the mysterious Wang Xuan, he dared not underestimate her, so after a brief test, he went all out.

He hadn't expected that with just one strike, the flying sword would be sent flying without any resistance.

the other side.

Wow!
Wang Xuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

Her expression changed drastically when she saw Jiang Ning's gaze.

Her mental and physical condition was damaged, indicating that the flying sword she had just unleashed was also damaged.

Her flying sword was damaged, which caused her to cough up blood.

at this time.

boom--

She heard a loud roar and saw Jiang Ning charging towards her like a prehistoric beast.

Even before they got close, a powerful sense of oppression washed over them.

Wang Xuan looked at Jiang Ning approaching with a solemn expression, then reached down from her waist and a talisman appeared in her hand.

"Golden Body!" she uttered softly, and the talisman in her hand shone brightly, instantly transforming into a hazy radiance that enveloped her, bathing her in a layer of bright golden light.

boom!
When she completed this step, Jiang Ning was already within ten feet of her.

Faced with the astonished Wang Xuan.

Jiang Ning brought down a palm strike, carrying all his strength towards Wang Xuan, but he did not use his full power in this strike.

In an instant.

He then felt a solid force appear in front of his palm.

The palm didn't land on Wang Xuan's soft chest, but rather felt as if it had struck a hard wall.

boom!
With a deafening roar, Wang Xuan was sent flying.

But Jiang Ning could sense that his palm strike had not injured Wang Xuan, nor had it even hit her.

at the same time.

Wang Xuan adjusted her posture in mid-air after being thrown into the air, reaching her hands into her waist.

In an instant, he pulled out two talismans.

"Divine power!"

"Lightning speed!" she exclaimed again.

The two talismans in his hands shone brightly as he played them, and an invisible force gathered in the void and merged into them.

Then the talisman transformed into a misty aura and landed on her.

When she landed and regained her footing, she was already enveloped in three thin layers of light.

One layer is gold, one layer is blue, and one layer is red.

“I’ve also reached the third rank in martial arts!” Wang Xuan said.

With a swift movement, the rubble beneath his feet shattered, and he instantly transformed into a blur, hurtling straight towards Jiang Ning.

quickly!

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

But not as good as me!

next moment.

Wang Xuan's long legs transformed into whips, lashing out at Jiang Ning.

Snapped!
Jiang Ning struck out with his palm.

Undeterred by her initial attack, Wang Xuan continued her offensive, unleashing another whip-like kick at Jiang Ning.

Wearing a long dress did not hinder her offensive in the slightest.

Faced with Wang Xuan's offensive, Jiang Ning remained calm and composed.

The hands clapped together, producing a series of crisp sounds.

general!
Despite the blessing of the talisman, it's still just average!
Jiang Ning made his own assessment.

After a brief exchange, he had a general idea of ​​Wang Xuan's strength in martial arts, coming from Qingyang Cave Heaven.

He's not as good as Sun Ming was back then.

Especially Sun Ming, whose final sword strike reflected the Milky Way.

at the same time.

Wang Xuan became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.

Jiangning only defends and does not attack, yet it is like an indestructible wall.

No matter how she attacked, she couldn't repel Jiang Ning in the slightest.

She has now activated the blessing of three talismans, and she is activating them here. The power of the talismans is far stronger than it would be outside.

The talisman's duration was limited, and once it was exhausted, she knew her chances of winning would decrease.

She doesn't have much talent in martial arts.

To be able to reach the third rank at this age is still thanks to the profound foundation of Qingyang Cave Heaven.

With a thought flashing through her mind, Wang Xuan twisted her body, rotated her right foot half a circle, and kicked fiercely towards Jiang Ning's storefront like a rabbit kicking an eagle.

boom!
In an instant.

The air blast was pushed aside, and the air liquefied into fog.

Jiang Ning reached out with both hands and grabbed her ankle tightly.

At that moment, Wang Xuan felt as if her right foot was firmly locked by Jiang Ning's hands, as if it were cast in refined iron, and her right foot did not move at all.

next moment.

She felt an unreachable force traveling from her right foot to her entire body.

The ground expanded rapidly before her eyes.

"Wait a minute." Wang Xuan's voice had just begun to break.

boom!
A deafening roar shook the earth.

Jiang Ning lifted Wang Xuan up again.

"Wait!" Wang Xuan exclaimed again.

boom!
There was another roar.

The protective golden light surrounding Wang Xuan began to falter.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning picked up the hammer and smashed it again.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Several heavy blows were delivered in succession until Wang Xuan was completely unable to resist.

Jiang Ning then threw her on the ground like a sack.

Kill Wang Xuan?

He doesn't have that idea for now.

The methods of immortality are mysterious and profound, and he doesn't understand them very well.

Who knows if some special means might lead to him getting entangled with Wang Xuan for killing her?

If Qingyang Cave comes looking for trouble, that wouldn't be worth it.

at the same time.

Wang Xuan lay on the ground, her eyes raised, and when she looked at Jiang Ning, they were filled with shame and anger.

Jiang Ning eventually threw her away like trash, leaving her feeling inexplicably humiliated.

Originating from Qingyang Cave, it possesses a noble status.

She always viewed outsiders as nothing more than ants.

Although the glory of the immortal path is gone, she still holds pride in the inheritance of the ancient immortal path.

Cultivating both martial arts and immortality can lead to extraordinary achievements.

To the outside world, she would still be considered a top-tier, peerless genius.

But today, I felt an unprecedented sense of frustration from Jiang Ning.

She could clearly sense that Jiang Ning hadn't used his full strength against her.

However, her combat power here is much stronger than it is outside.

He is also considerably older than Jiang Ning.

Looking at her tattered clothes, Wang Xuan muttered to herself.

As the light flashed, all his clothes were instantly restored to their original state.

"I'll remember you! One day I will personally avenge this humiliation!" Wang Xuan's voice rang out, her body enveloped in rippling waves.
