Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 594 The Initial Fusion of Essence and Qi, the Methods of a Top Grandmaster!
Shangyang Cave Heaven.

Long Xiaofeng stared intently at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning then looked at him as well.

“Jiang Xunshi, you are very strong!!” Long Xiaofeng suddenly spoke seriously.

Upon hearing Long Xiaofeng's words, Ye Zhengqi and Zhong Yue also looked at the two of them.

“You’re very strong too!” Jiang Ning said.

“Yes, I am very strong too!” Long Xiaofeng smiled upon hearing this, and then said, “Originally, I thought that this true disciple of Qingyang Sect was the strongest opponent I had here, but now it seems that you are!”

Seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, Long Xiaofeng said arrogantly, "I always like to save my strongest opponent for last, so I've decided to save you for last to settle this once and for all!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Ning could sense Long Xiaofeng's composure and uprightness.

"Brother Long, what do you intend to do?" Jiang Ning asked immediately.

"Of course we should eliminate him first!" Long Xiaofeng said, looking at Xie Yang on the hilltop.

Upon hearing these words, Xie Yang's expression immediately changed.

"Brother Long, Inspector Jiang is our strongest opponent. In my opinion, neither of us is his match! Why don't we join forces to eliminate him first, and then settle the score?"

Long Xiaofeng scoffed, "We martial artists have never resorted to bullying the weak with numbers! If I'm going to win, I'll win fair and square, with nothing to lose! You underestimate me, Long Xiaofeng!"

Then, he suddenly looked at Jiang Ning: "Inspector Jiang, I'll fight you again later!"

The words fell.

Long Xiaofeng suddenly moved.

The clouds follow the dragon and the wind follows the tiger.

As Long Xiaofeng moved, a dragon's roar resounded in the void, and a pale blue dragon soul phantom appeared around him.

At this moment, Long Xiaofeng's movements were also extremely ghostly.

In a flash, they appeared several feet away.

Suddenly, it reappeared several dozen feet away.

There was absolutely no trace of any action taken midway.

"Nine Dragons Appear in the Clouds, an unparalleled martial art!!" Zhong Yue's expression was solemn.

"So, he wasn't serious just now!" Ye Zhengqi said solemnly.

"If you think about it, this person is younger than the two of us, right?" Zhong Yue said with a sigh.

"Yes!" Ye Zhengqi nodded.

“Truly, a new generation is replacing the old!” Zhong Yue exclaimed with emotion upon hearing Ye Zhengqi’s reply.

"If we're talking about a new generation replacing the old, who can compare to him?" Ye Zhengqi looked at Jiang Ning with a calm expression.

the other side.

Xie Yang's expression changed drastically when he saw Long Xiaofeng rapidly approaching.

He could sense that Long Xiaofeng was serious and had no intention of holding back.

hum!
He immediately began to perform a sword incantation, his spiritual energy surged, and his divine sense erupted.

Whoosh whoosh—

The flying sword pierced the air, and the continuous stream of smaller swords transformed into a long dragon, rushing towards Long Xiaofeng.

After a breath.

break--

Xie Yang immediately shouted.

The previously disordered sub-swords in mid-air instantly changed formation and combined into two large swords in a flash.

One of them is purple, with electric arcs swirling around it.

One of them is red, and a fierce flame appears.

The two greatswords, adorned with bright runes and filled with mysterious patterns, intertwined in mid-air as they charged toward Long Xiaofeng.

next moment.

boom! !

As soon as Long Xiaofeng clashed with it, the two great swords disintegrated instantly, turning into countless smaller swords that scattered in all directions.

The impact caused Long Xiaofeng to abruptly stop.

the other side.

Xie Yang's expression changed, and his aura fluctuated.

"Brother Long, is there any room for negotiation?" he asked earnestly.

"Let's fight!" Long Xiaofeng said.

"Alright!" Xie Yang nodded very seriously, "Since Brother Long wants to fight, then let's fight!!"

The words fell.

Rumbling--

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from all directions.

Wisps of mist also appeared from all directions, filling the space between heaven and earth.

Long Xiaofeng swept his gaze across the area and saw three illusory figures materializing and appearing in the east, west, and north directions.

The east is associated with the Azure Dragon.

The west is associated with the White Tiger.

The north is associated with the Black Tortoise.

He turned back again, but Jiang Ning and the others were no longer in sight.

Phew! !

A phoenix cry rang out, and the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings in the air, its whole body engulfed in flames.

"Is this the formation?" Long Xiaofeng asked solemnly.

“Not bad!” Xie Yang stood on top and nodded condescendingly: “This is the real Four Spirits Formation. It was originally prepared to deal with Jiang Ning. Since Brother Long is so stubborn, then we can only let Brother Long witness the power of the Four Spirits Formation.”

While talking.

Xie Yang's aura began to rise steadily.

In just a few breaths, Xie Yang's aura became as vast as an abyss, as majestic as a mountain, and as boundless as the sea.

Auras spread in all directions, like waves.

"Such a powerful aura!" Long Xiaofeng's expression turned solemn.

"Is this the power of an array?" he wondered inwardly.

He could sense that in a short period of time, Xie Yang's aura had surged by 70-80%, or even doubled.

This means that Xie Yang's strength has almost doubled compared to before.

Moreover, he could sense that countless spiritual energies were converging on Xie Yang's location within the array's range.

This means that Xie Yang is almost immune to any losses within this formation.

His heart grew even heavier at that moment.

at this time.

Xie Yang, who was completely absorbed in the pleasure of the array's enhancement, suddenly changed his expression.

"Jiang Ning, how dare you!!" Xie Yang shouted.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Jiang Ning's voice came from behind to Long Xiaofeng's ears, and also to Xie Yang's ears.

next moment.

Long Xiaofeng saw the phantom of the Vermilion Bird behind him cry out a few times, and then it began to dissipate with a flap of its wings.

"Jiang Ning is breaking the formation??" Long Xiaofeng was taken aback.

Then, he saw that the moment the Vermilion Bird phantom disappeared, the surrounding clouds and mist also dissipated.

He also saw Jiang Ning put a white crystal into his mouth and smile at him.

“Brother Long, Xie Yang set up the Four Spirits Formation in advance, which is unfair to you. So I stepped in to eliminate this unfairness!”

While talking.

Jiang Ning gripped the sword he had just drawn tightly.

No matter how much the sword in his hand vibrated, it could not break free from his grasp.

Then he continued to put the crystals he had just dug out into his mouth.

Boom!

Boom!

The crystal crumbled into fragments in his mouth, and he could feel a cool sensation emanating from the fragments, giving him a refreshing feeling, like drinking an iced beverage on a hot summer day.

goo-dong-

He swallowed the crystal fragments, and his body began to refine the energy contained within the crystal.

In an instant.

Waves erupted from the crystal, spreading like ocean waves throughout his body, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Such a clear surge of energy made him realize that this item would definitely increase his energy points, and the increase would be substantial.

It seems spirit crystals are a good thing for me too!

A thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

"Brother Long, leave the breaking of the formation to me, you just go ahead and do your job!"

He shouted to Long Xiaofeng and immediately rushed toward the next array base.

the other side.

Xie Yang felt the array's support instantly drop by half, and he felt an urge to vomit blood.

With a corner of the Four Spirits Formation broken, the formation was no longer complete and became incomplete.

The incomplete formation is much less effective.

He knew that it didn't end there.

Because Jiang Ning is now rushing towards another base.

Based on Jiang Ning's swift and decisive approach, he knew that Jiang Ning would surely break through the Four Spirits Formation in no time.

At that time, all my plans will come to naught.

chant—

at this time.

With a swift movement, Long Xiaofeng transformed into a dragon and charged towards Xie Yang.

"We have no choice but to fight!" Xie Yang's eyes flickered slightly, then became resolute.

"Rise!" he shouted. One hundred and eight sword lights instantly soared into the sky.

His aura surged, spreading like a tide.

The immense pressure made the air feel like a quagmire.

In an instant.

The 108 sword shadows that rose into the air had converged into ten long swords, one large and nine small.

The greatsword is positioned in the center, with nine smaller swords distributed around it, like stars surrounding the moon, guarding the greatsword.

Boom——

The next moment, lightning filled the sky.

Countless arcs of lightning exploded, like silver snakes dancing wildly.

Jiang Ning also stopped at this moment.

"Thunder and Fire Clash Technique?" He looked surprised.

He had seen Xie Yang use this move against Jin Chan from afar before.

I haven't seen Xie Yang use it since.

Now he has used the Thunder and Fire Strike Technique once again.

That instant made him realize that Xie Yang sensed something was wrong and was fighting desperately.

at the same time.

Sensing the imposing force overhead, Long Xiaofeng immediately stopped.

He looked at the converging arcs of lightning in the sky, his expression becoming somewhat solemn, yet also filled with awe.

"As expected of the ancient immortal path, it truly has its merits!"

at this time.

"Fall!" Xie Yang shouted, his voice like thunder.

As his words fell.

boom--

A thunderclap boomed overhead, lightning exploded, and flames appeared, transforming into a long dragon.

Thunder and fire mingled within the long dragon, rushing straight towards Long Xiaofeng.

The dragon's head is ferocious, with clearly defined features and flying claws and teeth.

"Well done!" Long Xiaofeng said with a hearty tone.

He faced the long dragon of lightning and fire rushing down from above.

Push both hands upwards.

Groan! ! !
A dragon's roar erupted.

The true essence transformed into a dragon's head and soared into the sky.

"Dragon Soars Through the Heavens!" Long Xiaofeng shouted.

"Dragon Soars Through the Sky! One of the Eighteen Forms of Dragon Strike!!" Zhong Yue, who witnessed this scene from behind, exclaimed in admiration.

"He has actually achieved the initial fusion of Qi and blood!!" Ye Zhengqi's eyes showed a solemn expression.

"This is the foundation of the descendants of the Eighteen Dragon Heads!" Zhong Yue said.

Right now.

boom! ! !
A loud roar came from afar.

The shockwave spread out in a visible ring.

The violent airflow then spread in all directions.

With this strike, the flying swords scattered, and Long Xiaofeng fell to the ground.

"That's all!" he said.

Xie Yang's face turned deathly pale, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes as he looked at Long Xiaofeng.

His strongest attack, however, failed to harm Long Xiaofeng in the slightest.

This made him realize Long Xiaofeng's power and also made him see Long Xiaofeng's strength clearly.

Even with the support of formations in the cave world, he was still no match for Long Xiaofeng.

"Could it be that the path of immortality has truly declined?" He felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

As the second senior brother of the Qingyang Sect in this generation, he was a true disciple, with only the eldest senior brother above him.

Despite his exceptional advantages, he was still no match for Long Xiaofeng.

He also understood that, looking at the thirty-six prefectures of the Great Xia Nine Provinces, Long Xiaofeng was not the strongest among the younger generation.

There are quite a few stronger individuals than Long Xiaofeng.

"No!!" He shook his head again: "It's not that the immortal path has declined, but that I'm too weak! My master once told me that in their generation, I can only be considered as above average, not a prodigy."

"Without a conducive environment and a large pool of talent, true geniuses cannot emerge!"

"And the likes of Long Xiaofeng are true prodigies who have emerged from among the masses!!"

Xie Yang silently tried to convince himself.

He would rather admit that he was incapable than admit that the path to immortality was incapable.

suddenly.

His expression changed again.

Then, gritting his teeth, he looked eastward towards where Jiang Ning was.

Jiang Ning then drew another sword.

With the two southeastern array bases destroyed by Jiang Ning in succession, the Four Spirits Array immediately began to collapse and disintegrate.

The power bestowed upon him began to recede like the tide, and his aura weakened step by step.

Upon seeing this, Long Xiaofeng shook his head.

He had lost all will to fight.

He could tell that after that attack, Xie Yang had lost all fighting spirit and his mind was starting to wander.

He had no interest in this kind of opponent anymore.

Then, Long Xiaofeng glanced at Jiang Ning, his eyes gradually becoming excited.

Instantly, their fighting spirit soared.

next moment.

He came to Xie Yang.

"you lose!"

"I lost!" Xie Yang nodded. "Next, you'll lose too!"

"I will lose?" Long Xiaofeng smiled.

“I think you can!” Xie Yang said.

"Then we'll wait and see!" A strange light flashed in Long Xiaofeng's eyes.

Then he suddenly threw a punch.

Chant!

The dragon roared.

The golden dragon head was blasted away by him.

Xie Yang immediately coughed up blood and flew backward.

After a few breaths.

Ripples appeared around Xie Yang, and his figure slowly disappeared.

“Next, it’s him!” Long Xiaofeng looked at Jiang Ning.

On the other side, Jiang Ning unearthed several spirit crystals.

The two swords in his hands also returned to calm.

"What a pity, I couldn't get the other two swords!" he said with some regret.

It was obvious that the four swords were one piece.

It is the key medium through which Xie Yang sets up the Four Spirits Formation.

Having all four swords would constitute a complete set, of immeasurable value.

Now, with only two swords in hand, their actual value is at most one-tenth or one-twelfth of a set.

With a thought flashing through his mind, he threw the few spirit crystals he had dug out into his mouth.

As he ground his teeth, he could sense that the energy contained in the spirit crystal was not as pure as before.

After a while.

"Third Brother, I'll head out now!" Long Xingyun said.

"Don't worry! I will definitely win!" Long Xiaofeng said.

Then he struck Long Xingyun with a palm, and Long Xingyun immediately coughed up blood and flew backward.

After landing.

Ripples of water completely enveloped Long Xingyun, and his figure slowly disappeared.

After sending Long Xingyun away, Long Xiaofeng looked in the direction of Jiang Ning.

"Hehe! I'll head out first!" Zhong Yue said with a chuckle.

"Alright! I'll give it to you!" Ye Zhengqi nodded, gripped the wooden sword, and thrust it towards Zhong Yue, the sword piercing through his chest.

"Brother Ye, you really didn't hold back!" Zhong Yue said, his face flushed.

“You are a grandmaster, physical injuries are nothing to worry about!” Ye Zhengqi said.

Subsequently, Zhong Yue was also sent out.

"Envoy Jiang, let's make our move!" Ye Zhengqi looked at Jiang Ning.

"I'm sorry to offend you!" Jiang Ning said.

Then he struck out with his palm, the force penetrating Ye Zhengqi's entire body.

"So strong!!" Ye Zhengqi was secretly shocked. With just this one palm strike, he had seen only the tip of the iceberg of Jiang Ning's strength.

He was then sent flying backwards, his face turning bright red.

After a brief exchange, the group made the move they are in today.

As Ye Zhengqi slowly disappeared from this place, only Jiang Ning and Long Xiaofeng remained in the cave.
