Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 590 The End of a Top Grandmaster!
Shangyang Cave Heaven.

dark night.

Beneath the sacred tree, its entire body ablaze with fire.

The three spirit messengers of the Yingtian Alliance conversed with each other.

The three of them had been protected by this divine tree, which resembled a torch in the darkness, during the previous night, and they knew that by staying under this tree, they could safely pass through this night.

suddenly.

A dazzling sword light suddenly appeared from the darkness.

"Watch out!!" the towering Azure Dragon Envoy shouted.

next moment.

His heart sank suddenly.

A sudden flash of sword light appeared on the other side. Before he could react, the sword light had already passed right through his eyes.

Then, the tree, which seemed to be engulfed in flames, was cut down by a single sword strike.

Seeing this, the other two also felt a chill run down their spines.

Having experienced the previous night, they knew all too well how terrifying the nights at Shangyang Cave were.

Especially at night, the chill and gloom intensify, making it all the more terrifying.

And now it happens to be the time of day when the night is darkest.

Last night, the two of them experienced this time of night firsthand.

Once they stepped out of the sacred tree's protection, the night was as thick as ink, and even with their keen eyesight, they could hardly see what was happening just inches away.

More importantly, this period is also the most dangerous.

A chilling wind blew by, as if scraping bones and sucking marrow.

Even though they were incredibly strong, having undergone multiple blood transfusions and possessing strength approaching that of top-tier grandmasters, they were instantly severely weakened last night by just a gust of cold wind blowing over their bodies.

They only dared to stay within the protected area of ​​the sacred tree.

Now, the divine tree was severed by a sudden sword light.

"Who is it?!" The White Tiger Envoy, dressed in a flowing cloud robe, swept his gaze in all directions.

His eyes were like lightning, captivating and mesmerizing.

But he couldn't see anything unusual around him.

Beyond the protection of the sacred tree lies a night as thick as ink, or as swirling as clouds and mist.

All around was silent, as if the sudden flash of sword light was just an illusion.

But the divine tree slowly collapsed, and the once magnificent and dazzling tree quickly became dim, the firelight disappeared, and the surrounding light was quickly swallowed up by darkness.

"Qinglong, what should we do?" the woman in red asked gravely.

"Choose a direction and run at full speed!" Qinglong said calmly, then continued, "That sword light just now must have meant someone was in this darkness. If they can move freely in the dark, we are no match for them, and we must not get entangled with them."

"If the three of them scatter and escape, the enemy will definitely be overwhelmed!"

The words fell.

Before the firelight had completely dissipated and the thick, inky darkness had yet to engulf their small piece of sanctuary, the White Tiger Envoy, clad in a flowing cloud robe, chose a direction and charged in.

"Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, I'm good at movement, I'll lure him away."

The sound quickly disappeared into the thick darkness of the night.

"Azure Dragon, attack me! I want to get out!" The woman in red quickly calmed down and spoke.

"No need for that!" The towering Azure Dragon Envoy scanned his surroundings warily, but in the pitch-black night, he saw no unusual activity in the darkness.

He then continued, "The other party only dares to destroy our protective sacred tree. Even in the shadows, they wouldn't dare to attack us. Their strength must be limited; they're just using strange methods!"

"Moreover, if I were to attack you, I would have to be severely injured before the will of the cave would determine that I am out of the game. By then, night will have fallen and the enemy will be in the dark. I don't have the confidence to protect you!"

Upon hearing the Azure Dragon Envoy's words, the Vermilion Bird Envoy, dressed in red, nodded to the Azure Dragon.

"I believe you!"

The words fell.

Then, she chose a direction she remembered and rushed out.

On this island, there are more than just this sacred tree that was once engulfed in flames that can become a sanctuary in the darkness.

Many other mystical places also have this effect.

the other side.

Jiangning was shrouded in night.

Quietly watching the eerie wind blowing closer from afar.

He had been preparing for a long time, just waiting for the moment the wind would rise.

If we can take advantage of favorable timing and location, there's no need to take action ourselves.

At that moment, the White Tiger Envoy had just rushed into the night when he was met head-on by a chilling, piercing wind.

This is a strong wind that Jiangning is waiting for to meet its needs.

A cold wind blew in his face, and the White Tiger Envoy was startled as soon as he felt the grass and trees in front of him rustle.

A chilling wind!
The thought flashed through his mind, and he didn't have time to react further; he could only circulate his qi and blood throughout his body.

Blood and smoke erupted from his body.

The surrounding vegetation was instantly and rapidly corroded by the bloody aura and smoke.

next moment.

That gust of cold wind crashed in.

Jiang Ning immediately saw the unique wolf-like aura of the Blood Transformation Master scattered like fine sand under the blowing of the yin wind.

Then, a sinister wind carrying a demonic sound blew through the White Tiger Envoy's body, entering his body through every pore, blowing through every inch of his flesh, before finally emerging from the pores on his back.

All of a sudden.

Jiang Ning noticed that the White Tiger Envoy's aura had weakened by 30%.

That gust of cold wind seemed to have blown away much of his life force.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning also felt the cold wind sweeping through the mountains and forests, rushing towards him.

The sound of the wind has already arrived before the wind itself.

Suddenly, a series of shrill screams, like wails, filled my ears, and the demonic sound poured into them.

An extremely cold aura also approached him.

His body was instantly filled with yang energy, like a great sun rising.

The yin cold that had just entered the body was dispelled by the yang energy within the body.

Then, a gust of cold wind blew by, but he could no longer feel anything amiss.

The yang energy circulates within the body, becoming extremely abundant.

The chilling aura carried by the cold wind could not penetrate his body in the slightest.

It's like a surging torrent suddenly crashing into a towering boulder in the river; the torrent can only be parted by the boulder and rush to both sides.

After sensing the changes within himself, he noticed that the White Tiger Envoy stood motionless in the howling yin wind.

A surge of vital energy erupted from his body, and billowing smoke continuously rose from his skin. However, as the ensuing yin winds swept over him, his aura steadily declined.

At this moment, the White Tiger was filled with deep regret.

He originally thought the cold wind blowing in his face would only last for a short while.

Just as I had felt before, a gust of wind blew by, and then everything returned to calm.

But now, one gust after another, a continuous stream of eerie winds swept over his entire body.

This put him in a dilemma.

If you retreat, you will be swept away by the wind, and the outcome will only be worse.

Moreover, once he breathed a sigh of relief, he worried that the gusts of cold wind that followed would blow away all his vital energy, and he might die here.

Realizing this possibility, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, hoping that only by weathering this chilling wind could he have a chance of survival.

Jiang Ning glanced at him and knew that this person was doomed.

Even in the darkness, his eyesight remained sharp, and he could see the grass and trees swaying a hundred feet away.

He then knew that this gust of cold wind was far from over, and that it would continue to come.

Then, his gaze fell on the woman in red who had rushed into the darkness from under the sacred tree in another direction.

Unlike the White Tiger Envoy, the woman in red chose a different direction, but she fled diagonally in the direction of this gust of cold wind.

See this.

"go with!"

Jiang Ning inwardly scoffed.

The other two flying swords on his back, which originated from Xu Ming, were immediately drawn and plunged into the darkness.

Although he had not learned the art of sword control, his powerful divine sense was sufficient to manipulate objects.

He didn't need to kill the Vermilion Bird Envoy; he only needed to slow him down.

The flying sword pierced the sky.

In an instant, it pierced through the thick, inky night and instantly appeared a foot behind the Vermilion Bird Envoy.

the other side.

Upon hearing the sound of a sword whistling through the air so close at hand, the Vermilion Bird Envoy's expression changed drastically. "Who is it?" The thought flashed through her mind, and with a twist of her body, she drew the long whip from her waist.

The long whip was lashed out, creating a powerful gust of wind that cut through the air, like a dragon emerging from the sea.

Zheng! !

The flying sword clashed with the long whip, producing a sound that shook the surrounding area, and the Vermilion Bird Envoy's heart immediately tightened.

The long whip fell into the void, and behind the sword hilt was nothing but emptiness.

It's a flying sword!!

She made her decision, and then her heart inevitably felt heavy.

The appearance of the flying sword confirmed her previous guesses.

She immediately realized who had attacked her.

Qingyang Grotto Heaven!!
These four words flashed through her mind, and she unleashed her power, her long whip lashing out like a dragon pounding the sea.

The air surged, and for a moment the thick, inky night dissipated, revealing the two flying swords that she had knocked away with her whip.

"As expected! It's difficult to pose a threat to a powerhouse of this level using only divine sense to control a sword!"

Jiang Ning smiled.

He was not angry, nor did he show the slightest sign of dejection.

Because he had achieved his goal, this brief delay brought the Vermilion Bird Envoy to a halt.

The sudden gust of cold wind also blew around the Vermilion Bird Envoy.

Wuwuwu——

The wind howled and whistled past.

The Vermilion Bird Envoy suddenly felt a chill run through his body.

the other side.

As the divine tree, once bathed in flames, became a rootless tree, it began to wither rapidly.

The firelight dimmed, the mystical light dissipated, and the night surged in.

Hearing the sounds of collision coming from not far away, the towering Azure Dragon felt even more anxious.

He curled his fingers into claws and once again fiercely clawed at the fallen tree trunk.

tear-

He tore the bark open and ripped apart the fibrous wood chips.

One claw struck, and then another.

The fire-born tree was so wondrous that he knew there might be a treasure within its trunk that could protect him as he walked in the darkness.

Rather than rushing into the darkness, where the enemy is in the light and he is in the dark, it's better to take a gamble.

He preferred to leave the choice to himself.

As long as he can walk freely in the dark, without fear of the thick darkness or the blowing of the cold wind, he is confident that he will not fear any enemy.

Entering the ranks of top masters gave him enough confidence and that self-assurance.

His claws flew, and even though the wood was harder than refined iron, it was gradually torn apart by his dragon-like claws.

suddenly.

A wisp of fire peeked out from a crack in the tree.

It resembles smoke and dust, yet it floats in the air like flames.

The flickering flames instantly illuminated the surroundings, and the thick, inky darkness seemed to recede slightly.

The Azure Dragon Envoy noticed the scene around him and was immediately overjoyed.

"As expected!!"

His five fingers were bent, resembling hooks or claws.

Just as he swung his claws again.

hum! !

The air vibrated, like the spreading of water ripples.

The Azure Dragon Envoy suddenly turned around and swung his claws.

The five fingers are bent, resembling a hook claw sweeping across the night sky.

Five crystal-clear claw marks suddenly appeared in the night sky, like branding marks on the void.

It was that sword light!

The Azure Dragon Envoy felt a chill run down his spine, only then noticing that there was no further movement coming from the Vermilion Bird Envoy's side.

Upon noticing this, his heart sank.

So fast!!!
His plan was to persuade the Vermilion Bird Envoy to choose a direction to rush out.

By using the Vermilion Bird's actions, the attention of the mysterious powerful figure in the darkness is drawn, thus giving him enough time.

However, he did not expect that even someone as powerful as the Vermilion Bird Envoy, who possessed combat strength close to that of a top-tier grandmaster, would become silent in the blink of an eye.

"Who exactly is the one who made the move?" The thought flashed through his mind again.

He then suddenly stepped back and saw the sword marks on his five fingers.

He also felt the sharp sword intent contained in the sword mark surge into his body.

Although he shattered the sword light with a single claw strike, it was clear that the attack was not entirely in vain.

at this time.

In the thick darkness of night.

Another flash of sword light appeared.

The sword light cleaved through the night, parted the air, and rushed straight toward the Azure Dragon Envoy.

brush--

The Azure Dragon Envoy unleashed another claw strike.

The claw marks, like branding marks, lingered in the air and slowly dissipated, shattering the sword light in the process.

But the Azure Dragon Envoy took a half step back.

He saw that the old wounds on his hands had not yet healed, and new wounds had been added.

Subsequently.

Another sword light cleaved the night sky, parting the surging air currents, and slashed straight towards him.

The continuous stream of sword lights kept the Azure Dragon Envoy busy dealing with them, leaving him only able to react but unable to take any other action.

At this moment, they have lost the protection of the Divine Tree of Fire.

Darkness completely swallowed the last ray of light.

The darkness of night instantly engulfed the towering Azure Dragon Envoy.

Wuwuwu——

A chilling wind howled, seeping into the Azure Dragon Envoy's ears, and a sudden coldness ran through him.

A chill ran through my body, as if I had fallen into an ice cave.

not good!

It's a cold wind!

Azure Dragon's heart skipped a beat. He was about to circulate his qi and blood to dispel the chilling aura within his body.

Then another sword light came flying in.

The sword light, like the bright moon, hung upside down in the night sky, parting the darkness and providing light.

Instead of feeling joy, the Azure Dragon Envoy's heart sank even further.

"Your Excellency, please show mercy! I am the Azure Dragon Envoy, one of the four great spirit envoys of the Yingtian Alliance. I have come to Yanghu Cave Heaven at the behest of Grandmaster Li Sixiang, a second-rank master."

"Please, for the sake of Grandmaster Li Sixiang, leave us a glimmer of hope."

The words fell.

He was greeted by another flash of sword light.

"Again!!" His heart skipped a beat.

Seeing the rapidly approaching sword light, he only hesitated for a moment before giving up resistance and letting the sword light slash straight at him.

"Want to get out!!" Seeing the Azure Dragon Envoy's lack of resistance, Jiang Ning instantly understood.

The Azure Dragon Envoy wanted to withstand his attack, get injured and defeated, and thus gain the qualification to leave Shangyang Cave.

With a thought flashing through his mind, the sword light approached the Azure Dragon Envoy to within a foot of him before suddenly dissipating and vanishing.

"He wants to kill me!!" Seeing this, the Azure Dragon Envoy immediately understood.

A chilling wind howled in my ears, like a demonic sound.

A cold wind constantly blew through every inch of his flesh and blood.

Faced with this all-pervasive, chilling wind, he found that no matter how much he unleashed his inner energy and smoke, he couldn't stop it in the slightest.

They could only rely on their physical strength to resist it.

Beset by internal and external troubles, lacking both favorable timing, location, and popular support, he instantly felt a deathly aura rushing towards him.

The arrival of this aura did not startle him; instead, it made him even calmer.
