Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 587 The Four Spirits Formation, Jiang Ning's Combat Strength!

Below the crater.

Jiang Ning's eyes were ablaze with fire, allowing him to see several highly concentrated spiritual plants and rare treasures that the three people above had placed on their bodies.

After entering Shangyang Cave Heaven, all spatial items are restricted and cannot be used.

This also meant that any rare and precious plants found along the way could only be refined on the spot or kept on one's person.

Clearly, based on his observation, these people, like Wang Yuan just now, only carried a few spiritual plants and rare treasures that he considered extremely valuable. The rest were either unworthy of their attention or had been refined by them.

With a slight thought, Jiang Ning glanced at the notification again.

[Internal Alchemy Health Cultivation Exercise Experience Points +15]

The shattered jade was digested in his stomach, and the energy contained within it erupted like a raging fire, like a volcano continuously spewing forth. His internal organs absorbed the essence of the great sun contained within it and were being tempered, and his whole body had nowhere to release its energy.

next moment.

He moved.

boom!
The rocks beneath his feet shattered, and he shot up like a cannonball, heading straight for the three people above the crater.

The steep rock face seemed to move as if it were flat ground before him, allowing him to soar upwards.

Above the crater.

"Second Senior Brother!" Ge Xian'er called out.

“Junior brothers and sisters, Junior Brother Wang Yuan was defeated and eliminated in just a dozen breaths. His strength must be terrifying. I need to set up the Four Spirits Formation!” Xie Yang said.

"Don't worry, Second Senior Brother, I'll hold him off!" Ge Xian'er said.

The junior brother beside him nodded, "Don't worry, Second Senior Brother! I'm here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Ning with a serious expression.

The cliff, tens of meters high, had been half the distance between Jiang Ning and the enemy in a short time.

Senior Brother Wang Yuan possesses extraordinary martial arts skills, yet he only lasted about ten breaths in close combat. We must not let him get close.

He thought to himself, and then he made a sword incantation with both hands.

"out!"

hum! !

With a clear sword cry, two flying swords, one red and one black, instantly flew from his back.

The longsword rose into the sky and transformed into two dragons, one red and one black.

"Kill!!" he roared.

The longsword transformed into a rainbow, and the dragon's roar resounded.

at the same time.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning reached behind him and the long sword on his back was instantly drawn.

He raised his hand and swung his sword.

At Jiangning's level, there is little difference between swords and sabers.

In his mind, they were all just weapons, and swords and sabers were essentially the same.

The sword intent developed through the wood-chopping knife technique can also be used when wielding a long sword.

Especially after the development of the dual-wielding characteristics of swords and sabers, the swords and sabers are even more interconnected.

With this sword strike, the sword light surged like a tide, as if a sword had cleaved the sky in two.

Seeing this scene, the three of them felt a sharp pain in their eyes.

"What kind of sword move is this?" the junior brother thought in shock.

The sword light pierced the air, instantly severing the crimson and azure dragons, and the two flying swords were launched away like kites with broken strings.

"Junior Sister Ge!" Xie Yang said.

As he spoke, the greatsword on his back rose into the air, and the other four longswords on his back also flew out in all directions.

Ge Xian'er immediately realized that Xie Yang, her second senior brother, was setting up the Four Spirits Formation.

Those four longswords flying in all directions represent the array's core points guarding the four directions.

Small array patterns were even engraved on the longsword.

As long as these four longswords land in the four directions, activating the array patterns on their blades and merging their spiritual power, the Four Spirits Array will be formed.

Once this formation is complete...

It is like a small world of its own, where the person in charge can draw upon the spiritual energy from all directions for their own use.

Within the formation, all techniques and supernatural abilities will be strengthened by 30%.

With a 30% boost, their strength can be raised to the next level.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yang started to move.

He was searching for a node in the large array.

At this moment, he felt very heavy-hearted.

Jiang Ning's casual sword strike just now broke Junior Brother Xu's sword control technique.

He then realized that Jiang Ning's sword intent was terrifyingly strong, having already reached the pinnacle of perfection and even surpassed the level of sainthood.

Only with such sword intent can one easily break through the sword control technique with a single strike.

Seeing this, he realized even more how troublesome Jiang Ning was: the powerful physique of a martial arts grandmaster combined with such a level of sword intent.

If he gets close, his situation will be extremely dangerous.

Faced with such a powerful expert, he knew that only by standing at the node of the great formation could he unleash the full power of the Four Spirits Formation and ensure his safety.

A martial arts master, with an extraordinary physique and vigorous vitality.

He had fought against Wang Yuan before, and once they got close, even in the Qingyang Cave World, he would inevitably lose his composure.

At the same time, Ge Xian'er nodded.

She held the magic fan and fanned it towards Jiang Ning below.

Roar! !

In an instant, a gust of wind was generated, like a roaring torrent.

"Is this the magic weapon?" Jiang Ning wondered to himself as he watched the fierce wind sweeping towards them like a tsunami.

He was not afraid of the fierce wind.

Then, he moved with lightning speed.

When he encountered the gale, the roaring gale was like a strong wind hitting his face, only shaking his body slightly.

"As expected, I am no longer afraid of such a fierce wind!" Jiang Ning thought to himself, and his figure became even faster.

"Second Senior Brother!!" Ge Xian'er exclaimed, waving her divine fan with even greater force.

Roar! !

The gale swept in like a tidal wave.

"Junior Sister Ge, please hold on a little longer!" Xie Yang's voice came from afar.

at the same time.

The junior brother beside him also managed to stabilize the two flying swords again.

"Water and Fire Dragons, Kill!"

Chant!

As soon as he finished speaking, the crimson and black swords instantly transformed into two long dragons once again.

The two dragons intertwined, water and fire mingled, and charged straight towards Jiangning.

Behind them, the dark blue gale surged like a tide, as if the waves obeyed the call of the two dragons.

Jiang Ning faced this scene head-on, neither dodging nor avoiding it.

Then he raised his hand and swung his sword.

The sword light split into two dragons, cleaving the tide.

With a single sword strike, the world was cleared.

Upon seeing this, Ge Xian'er and her junior brother's expressions both changed.

The two of them are now going all out, but they have failed to stop Jiang Ning in the slightest.

next moment.

They saw Jiang Ning leap up from below, landing on top of the crater.

"Gentlemen, I'll see you off!" Jiang Ning said.

His eyes blazed with fire as he locked onto the points where energy converged on the two of them.

Those were the rare and precious spiritual plants they had hidden on their bodies.

As he spoke, Jiang Ning turned around and inserted the long sword in his hand into the wooden scabbard on his back.

He flashed and used the Shrinking Earth technique to instantly appear in front of Ge Xian'er.

Before the two could react, Jiang Ning raised his hand and grabbed the ribbon tied around Ge Xian'er's waist, which was instantly torn off.

The items that fell from the ribbon were already in Jiang Ning's hands.

At this moment, Ge Xian'er looked at Jiang Ning with terror in her eyes.

She quickly waved her magical fan.

Despite the howling wind, Jiang Ning kept his eyes slightly narrowed and remained motionless.

"Don't you understand yet? This fan is useless against me!" Jiang Ning said.

To Ge Xian'er's astonishment, he reached out with his right hand and snatched the fan from her hand.

Then, his gaze settled on Ge Xian'er's neckline.

The ribbon around her waist was pulled off, and Ge Xian'er's neckline became loose, revealing a hint of her rounded figure.

Several feet away.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning's rude behavior, the junior brother's eyes instantly flashed with anger.

"Kill!!" he shouted again.

The two blades once again pierced the air and attacked Jiang Ning's back.

The sword light, like a rainbow, pierced the sky. *Clang!*

The two longswords, though poised to strike the faint golden light, could not advance an inch.

Upon seeing this, the junior brother's pupils shrank instantly, staring at the scene in disbelief.

His prized swordsmanship was utterly ineffective against Jiang Ning.

Upon seeing this, Ge Xian'er retreated in a panic.

Jiang Ning took a step forward and grabbed forward with his right hand.

tear-

Ge Xian'er immediately grabbed the fabric, clutched her chest, and backed away, a strong killing intent flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Ning's humiliating actions fueled a surge of anger within her.

Just then, she noticed the precious jade in Jiang Ning's hand, and that Jiang Ning's gaze was fixed on that piece of jade.

She clutched her chest again, only to realize that the precious jade that had been hanging on her chest was now in Jiang Ning's hands.

"It was all for that piece of jade?" She was taken aback, and immediately understood why Jiang Ning had torn open her collar.

It wasn't that he wanted to take liberties with her, but rather that he wanted to take away the precious jade hanging in the cleavage of her chest.

She immediately understood why Jiang Ning had just torn off her belt; it wasn't out of lust, but because of the three spiritual plants she had previously placed in her belt.

After realizing what had happened, she was overwhelmed with emotion, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

She clearly overestimated her charm.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning shook his head secretly.

Their combat skills are terrible!
Whether it was the Qingyang Sect female disciple's reaction when he approached, or the dazed look in her eyes now.

This all demonstrates that this female disciple of the Qingyang Sect has extremely poor combat skills and abilities.

He possesses considerable combat strength, but lacks any ability to adapt to changing circumstances in the face of an enemy.

Even though he could see that the gale posed no threat to him, he still swung out three fans in succession, giving him enough time to close the distance.

next moment.

He didn't even glance at the two swords coming from behind him.

The body's Qi and blood circulated throughout, and the Vajra Indestructible Body was activated to its fullest extent, with golden light appearing to protect the body.

He took another step forward, and in an instant, he appeared three feet in front of Ge Xian'er.

He then threw another punch.

boom--

The fist whistled through the air and landed squarely on Ge Xian'er's chest.

In an instant, he felt Ge Xian'er's flesh collapse and her ribs break. Ge Xian'er also coughed up blood and flew backward like a cannonball.

"enough!!"

He made his own judgment.

He already knew from the injuries caused by that punch that Ge Xian'er would be eliminated from the competition.

Having obtained the rare spiritual plants and treasures from Ge Xian'er, his gaze immediately fell upon another male disciple and Xie Yang in the distance.

"Senior Brother Xie Yang!!" The junior brother called out as soon as he saw Jiang Ning looking over.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

He then witnessed Senior Sister Ge being sexually harassed by Jiang Ning and being eliminated from the competition.

Seeing that even his strongest Water and Fire Twin Dragons Sword Technique couldn't harm Jiang Ning in the slightest, he knew that Jiang Ning's strength was beyond his ability to defeat.

hum! ! !
At that very moment, the sound of swords rang out like a tidal wave.

He was immediately overjoyed.

He knew from the sound that it was his second senior brother, Xie Yang, who had made the move.

Second Senior Brother Xie Yang's strongest skill is sword control.

Xie Yang's sword control technique is no longer as simple as just controlling a sword.

With a powerful divine soul and the initial formation of his Yin spirit, Xie Yang can already manipulate thirty-six flying swords to form a sword formation using his divine sense.

When flying swords form a sword array, their power is not simply a matter of one plus one, but increases exponentially.

Xie Yang is so strong that even if ten of them were tied together, they would not be a match for him.

Xie Yang, who has already formed a Yin spirit, will be comparable to a second-grade martial arts grandmaster in the cave world, as long as his cultivation level keeps up.

Currently, limited by resources, Xie Yang has reached the Divine Soul Realm, but his cultivation level has not yet fully caught up, though he is only half a step away from it.

Placed within the cave world, one's full strength can be displayed, and one's combat power is infinitely close to that of a top-tier grandmaster.

Knowing that his second senior brother had already made a move behind him, he felt much more confident.

Then, with a thought, the two flying swords, which had been still, began to turn and pierced through the air, disappearing from sight in an instant.

Only the thunderous roar remained.

And the white trail left in mid-air by the passing of the flying sword.

Zheng——

next moment.

The two flying swords buzzed and struggled wildly in Jiang Ning's hands.

No matter how hard the flying sword struggled, or how the sword energy pierced the air, it did not shake Jiang Ningdi's palm in the slightest.

Too weak!!

Feeling the struggling force of the two flying swords in his hands, Jiang Ning secretly shook his head.

Among the people from Qingyang Sect, this person was the weakest in his eyes.

In comparison, the woman whose belt he had just torn off was actually a bit stronger.

But the only one who can be considered a true opponent is the woman I encountered in the first round of trials.

Not only is his swordsmanship extraordinary, but his martial arts have also reached the third rank, enabling him to engage in close combat with him.

His long legs swung like whips, demonstrating excellent legwork and making his fighting style quite exhilarating.

As for these two, they were far inferior, not even close to the strength of the woman they encountered in the first round of trials.

It was also far inferior to the strength of the man he had just fought underground.

He held two flying swords in his hands, and with a swift movement, he charged towards the man.

The distance of less than ten zhang was covered in an instant.

Just as he was about ten feet away from the Qingyang Sect disciple, he killed him.

Buzz! !

The sound of swords clashing surged forth from behind the Qingyang Sect disciple.

"Junior Brother Xu, don't panic!!" Xie Yang's voice rang in my ears.

"It's my second senior brother!" Xu Ming immediately felt relieved.

Even though Jiang Ning was already ten feet in front of him, he was no longer alarmed.

"Junior Brother Xu, stall for two more breaths!" Xie Yang's voice rang out again.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming's smile froze instantly.

next moment.

He then saw thirty-six small swords fall on Jiang Ning like a tidal wave.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sparks flew as he saw Jiang Ning surrounded by a golden light, just like the young monk from yesterday.

"No, stronger than him!!" Xu Ming thought to himself, and then he felt an overwhelming force crashing down on him.

Suddenly everything went black, and I passed out.

“It’s solved!” Jiang Ning glanced at Xu Ming.

Sensing the invisible fluctuations enveloping Xu Ming, he knew that Xu Ming was about to leave the cave world.

His gaze then fell upon the receding tide of swords.

"Junior Brother Xu, don't worry! I, Xie Yang, will avenge you!" A loud voice rang out.

As the figure trembled, the tide of swords rolled like a dragon, buzzing loudly.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning saw four phantom images of spirits appearing in all directions.

The right side shows a phantom image of a blue dragon.

Ahead is a phantom image of Xuanwu.

The image on the left is a phantom of a white tiger.

Behind them came the clear cry of the Vermilion Bird.

"Is this the Four Spirits Formation?" Jiang Ning wondered to himself, his expression grave, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Clearly, the Four Spirits Formation that Xie Yang mentioned earlier has now been completed.

He had witnessed Xie Yang's previous attack on Jin Chan.

That final move contained the power of heaven and earth, possessing the might that only a true top-tier grandmaster could unleash.

He knew that here, cultivators like Xie Yang were far stronger than they were outside.

In such an environment, only cultivators like Xie Yang can unleash their true strength.

Unlike in the outside world, where every move is unable to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, their combat strength is significantly weaker.

Xie Yang was no ordinary person like the others; he was the second-ranked true disciple of the Qingyang Sect in the current generation.

Therefore, he was always called Second Senior Brother by those people.

"Perfect! Let me witness the true splendor of ancient cultivators!!" With this thought in mind, the flames in Jiang Ning's eyes burned even brighter.
