Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 612 A powerful figure who has created his own little world!
Above the clouds.

Jiang Ning's gaze fell on the two of them again.

The white-haired youth, now bleeding profusely, had no further intention of fighting the Prince of Huai'an and fled westward.

Whenever the Prince of Huai'an caught up with them on the way, they would immediately break away.

They used the aftershocks of the fight to widen the gap even further.

But Jiang Ning could also see that, with each repeated encounter, the white-haired youth from the cave was becoming increasingly seriously injured.

While those at the pinnacle of martial arts can regenerate severed limbs, the body's recovery requires the expenditure of energy.

The more injured you are, the worse your condition will be.

Jiang Ning silently watched this scene, relying on his divine eye.

He could see that the condition of the person from the cave was constantly declining, and he could see that Prince Lu Zhan of Huai'an was obviously wary of something and was not in a hurry to act.

Soon after.

The white-haired youth fought and retreated, fleeing from east to west, getting closer and closer to the Dongling Mountains.

It is located just a hundred miles away from Dongling City.

suddenly.

A golden sword beam erupted from the dark clouds below.

The sword's edge sliced ​​through the thick, black clouds, heading straight for the Prince of Huai'an.

Inside the Eastern Mausoleum City.

this moment.

Those in Dongling City could see the golden light suddenly appear on the eastern horizon, and the clouds were suddenly cut open, with the mountains below instantly illuminated by the golden light above, as if they had transformed into a golden mountain.

"That's it!!!" Zhao Yulong's pupils widened in shock as he looked at the scene in the distance.

at the same time.

Jiang Ning, with his keen eye, also saw the golden sword light that suddenly erupted beneath the dark clouds.

The golden sword light seemed to possess the power to create the heavens and earth, cleaving through the endless black clouds with a single strike, and heading towards the Prince of Huai'an above the clouds.

"You want to kill me?" the Prince of Huai'an roared, causing the sea of ​​clouds below to tremble.

In an instant.

The thunderous roar erupting from the collision of the clouds below instantly drowned out the Prince of Huai'an's outburst.

"Embrace the Mountain Seal!" King Huai'an shouted again, his hands instantly forming a seal.

Suddenly, thousands of golden rays burst forth from his pores.

In an instant.

A mountain several tens of feet high enveloped his figure, and he hovered in the very center of the mountain.

The golden sword light below split into waves of energy, cleaving the air like water, and slashed directly at the golden mountain that enveloped the Prince of Huai'an.

Inside the golden mountain, the Prince of Huai'an stared intently at the white-haired old man who had suddenly appeared below.

An old man in a white robe suddenly emerged from the dark clouds, carrying a long sword in his hand, his gaze calmly fixed on the sword strike he had been preparing for for many years.

next moment.

boom! !

Heaven and earth roar!

The mountainside shattered with a deafening roar.

The aftershocks transformed into a terrifying storm that spread in all directions.

All three of them involuntarily tumbled backward.

The clouds below were also affected by the aftershocks, and a gap was blown out by the storm.

"So powerful!!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself again as he looked at the scene on the distant clouds, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

This sudden attack was something he failed to detect beforehand, even with his keen eye for all things.

Only after the old man with the sword appeared did he realize that the old man had actually been there all along.

It's just that it wasn't in this current space before.

Just like the woman in the ice coffin he saw, the white-haired old man with the sword was actually hidden in a deeper space.

His gaze swept over it briefly, without noticing anything.

Clearly, the Prince of Huai'an did not notice this either.

At that moment, he instantly understood.

The person who fought with the Prince of Huai'an above the clouds was luring him here.

Even this sudden downpour was a premeditated event.

His gaze swept over the three of them again.

Above the clouds.

The Prince of Huai'an flew dozens of feet before finally coming to a stop.

"Qingyuan Daoist, it's you!"

"It's me!" The white-haired old man with a sword below nodded calmly.

"You want to kill me?" The Prince of Huai'an's eyes were like torches, and his aura exploded.

A powerful pressure surged downwards like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down.

The white-haired old man with a sword smiled faintly at the oppressive aura, as if a gentle breeze were blowing across his face.

But the clouds below, which had been roaring continuously, suddenly fell silent, as if they had frozen in time.

"How dare I, a mere Taoist priest, kill you, the dignified Prince of Huai'an? I was merely testing the divine might of the Prince of Huai'an," the white-haired old man with the sword said with a faint smile.

Then his gaze swept over Pang Yunhai.

"Master Pang, how about coming to visit me?"

"How could I refuse an invitation from Daoist Qingyuan!" The white-haired youth, Pang Yunhai, smiled calmly.

"Prince of Huai'an, let's have a proper fight next time!" The white-haired old man with a sword looked up at the Prince of Huai'an in the sky.

"I'll be waiting for you!" the Prince of Huai'an said calmly.

The words fell.

The white-haired old man with a sword moved swiftly and appeared in front of Pang Yunhai.

He grabbed Pang Yunhai with one hand and instantly transformed into a rainbow of light, disappearing from sight.

"It's become its own little world!" The Prince of Huai'an muttered to himself as he watched the two leave.

A world unto itself?
Upon hearing the words spoken by the Prince of Huai'an, Jiang Ning was slightly startled.

His gaze then settled on the two departing figures.

Under the rainbow light, Qingyuan Daoist and Pang Yunhai crossed the layers of clouds in an instant.

"Such speed!" Jiang Ning was secretly shocked when he observed the speed of the rainbow light.

Rainbow Light travels more than ten miles in a single breath, a speed far exceeding his limits.

In just a few breaths.

The rainbow light then completely disappeared from the Prince of Huai'an's sight.

Jiang Ning then saw Qingyuan Daoist and Pang Yunhai land on a mountain peak.

"Qingyuan Daoist, Pang Yunhai, and Pang Shanzhu." He looked at the two men with his divine eye and muttered to himself.

The conversation among those people undoubtedly revealed a lot of information that he was unaware of.

Now, based solely on his own guesses, he roughly knows the reason.

Clearly, Qingyuan Daoist and Pang Yunhai had made prior arrangements, with Pang Yunhai leading the Prince of Huai'an to the sky above that cloud layer.

The Taoist Qingyuan had been lying in ambush there beforehand, waiting for the arrival of the Prince of Huai'an.

However, the strength of the Prince of Huai'an clearly exceeded their expectations.

This can be seen from Pang Yunhai's description of the unity of spirit, energy, and essence of the Prince of Huai'an, and his astonishment upon seeing the Prince of Huai'an use the Great Luo Heaven Hand.

But the plan has not been interrupted and is still being implemented.

When the Prince of Huai'an arrived above the place where the Taoist Qingyuan was hiding, the Taoist Qingyuan appeared and unleashed a shocking sword beam, intending to kill the Prince of Huai'an.

But the Prince of Huai'an took the sword strike without sustaining a single injury.

This ultimately led to a peaceful resolution to the matter.

Clearly, neither side was confident, so they stopped there.

He also guessed where Qingyuan Daoist came from: Qingyuan Cave Heaven.

The celestial phenomena of Dongling County are controlled by the powerful beings in Qingyuan Cave.

When Linglong transformed into the Dragon God of the Nu River and used her cloud-summoning and rain-making techniques, she attracted powerful figures from Qingyuan Cave.

There's only one thing he doesn't understand right now: Which grotto-heaven did Pang Yunhai, the Mountain Master Pang, come from?

at this time.

He saw the conversation between Pang Yun and Qingyuan Daoist again.

"Why did you stop attacking just now, Brother Dao?" Pang Yunhai's lips moved slightly.

"If that sword strike hadn't seriously injured the Prince of Huai'an, there would have been no need to intervene!" Qingyuan Daoist shook his head.

"Brother Dao, you weren't confident even under those circumstances?" Pang Yunhai frowned.

"No!" Daoist Qingyuan shook his head and continued, "The Prince of Huai'an is clearly much stronger than we expected. His essence, energy, and spirit have completely merged into one, and his martial arts realm has reached the pinnacle, ranking among the second highest in the world! Continuing to entangle with him will inevitably lead to unexpected events. They also have communication tools, and there may already be a stronger person than the Prince of Huai'an on the way. We don't need to take such a risk!"

"That's true!" Faced with Qingyuan Daoist's caution, Pang Yunhai could only nod.

"What a pity! We didn't act sooner!" he sighed again.

Then, a pill with a dragon pattern suddenly appeared in his hand. He swallowed the pill and his throat moved slightly.

Daoist Qingyuan glanced at him indifferently: "How is Master Pang's condition?"

"It's not bad. Having reached the peak of the first-grade martial arts, our physical bodies are countless times stronger than ours back then!" Pang Yunhai said.

"No matter how strong the physical body is, it must eventually be discarded! Becoming an immortal and living a carefree and long life is what we, the Daoist Qingyuan, are pursuing!"

"Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gradually recovering, how easy is it to recreate the grandeur of ancient times! Too much of the origin of heaven and earth has been lost!" Pang Yunhai shook his head.

With the pill now in his body, his breathing has gradually stabilized, and his condition has improved considerably.

at this time.

Jiang Ning witnessed their entire conversation.

They observed for a while longer.

After Pang Yunhai's aura had completely stabilized, Qingyuan Daoist led Pang Yunhai away in a rainbow form.

"It's a world of its own?" Jiang Ning murmured to himself, watching the fleeting rainbow light.

The information that the Prince of Huai'an had just spoken flashed through his mind again.

Clearly, in the eyes of the Prince of Huai'an, the strength of Daoist Qingyuan was above that of the white-haired youth Pang Yunhai and Master Pang.

Only after the two had completely left did he resume his search for the Prince of Huai'an.

After a while.

He found the whereabouts of the Prince of Huai'an.

At this time, the Prince of Huai'an had already appeared more than ten miles outside Dongling City.

His breathing was erratic, and his complexion was pale; he was clearly not in good condition.

"It seems that the Prince of Huai'an did not have an easy time dealing with that sword strike!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

He silently watched as the Huai'an Dynasty flew towards Dongling City.

After a while.

A voice appeared over Dongling County.

The aura emanating from him instantly sent shivers down the spines of the powerful figures throughout the city.

Even those powerful individuals who hadn't noticed this scene before looked up at the sky and saw the figure streaking across the sky, flying towards the Inspector's Mansion.

"So powerful!!" Everyone exclaimed upon seeing this figure.

The mere presence of that figure, and the aura it naturally exuded, made them feel incredibly powerful, a life-level pressure that they feared like a tiger.

Jiang Ning watched as the figure landed in the direction where Zhao Yulong was before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

"He didn't go straight back, but came to Dongling City. I don't know why he did that!"

ponder for a moment.

He composed himself and stopped dwelling on the matter.

"It seems the world is getting more and more chaotic!" He sighed as he recalled what had just happened.

From his observation, it was clear that Qingyuan Daoist and Pang Yunhai intended to join forces to ambush and kill the Prince of Huai'an.

As a newly appointed king of a different surname in the Great Xia Dynasty, the title of Prince of Huai'an was of extraordinary significance because of his martial arts skills.

The existence of the Prince of Huai'an is also a pillar of stability for Nan'an Prefecture, which is adjacent to Dongling County, one of the nine provinces of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The existence of the Prince of Huai'an not only stabilized Nan'an Prefecture, but also extended to Zeshan Prefecture, especially Dongling County to the east of Zeshan Prefecture.

Because the easternmost part of Dongling County borders Huai'an Prefecture, which is also Nan'an Prefecture.

If the Prince of Huai'an were to die, not only would Huai'an Prefecture be thrown into chaos, but the entire Nan'an Prefecture would be in turmoil, and even Zeshan Prefecture would be affected.

The Dongling County, in particular, will be affected.

He hadn't forgotten that the Leopard Embryo Transformation and Body Tempering Pill, which Medicine King Valley had previously presented to the Huai'an Prince's Mansion, had been intercepted by the River-Crossing Dragon Tian Buyi, and in the end, the Leopard Embryo Transformation and Body Tempering Pill ended up in his possession.

This alone demonstrates the influence of the Prince of Huai'an's mansion.

Even Yaowang Valley, which belongs to Dongling County but not Huai'an Prefecture or Nan'an Prefecture, had to pay tribute to them.

Therefore, if the Prince of Huai'an were to die, the impact would be enormous.

Having witnessed the combat prowess of the Prince of Huai'an, who was at the pinnacle of martial arts, he understood even more the importance of such a figure to the Great Xia Dynasty.

It can be said that one must be in the presence of such a person.

Neither the military nor its numbers have made much of a difference anymore.

The so-called powerful figures circulating in various circles cannot pose the slightest threat to this existence.

The death of such a figure would have a greater impact than the loss of 100,000 troops.

Even such beings are plotting to ambush and kill, clearly the powerful figures within the cave are already restless and unable to suppress their own thoughts.

He also understood that the reason was that the Martial Saint's lifespan was coming to an end.

He hasn't appeared in public for far too long now.

If he continues to remain silent, the situation will only escalate further.

With his mind filled with distracting thoughts, he thought of the great demon in the Luo River, the White Dragon that had the Emperor's Sword hidden in its belly.

After a while.

Torrential rain.

A figure wearing a straw hat and a raincoat hurriedly ran towards the mansion in Jiangning.

Boom boom boom! ! !
Then a knocking sound came from the door.

Even in the rain, the knocking could be heard from a great distance.

After a few breaths.

Green Ripple, holding an oil-paper umbrella, walked through the rain curtain to the gate, where the eaves extending overhead provided a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

She carefully put away the oil-paper umbrella in her hand and stood aside.

Just as I was about to open the door, I heard a voice behind me.

"Let me do it!"

"Young Master!" Green Ripple turned around and saw Jiang Ning standing in front of her, not a drop of rain on him.

“They must have come to see me!” Jiang Ning said.

“Then I’ll open the door for you, young master!” Green Ripple said quickly.

Then lower the door handle and open the front gate to the inside.

"Greetings, Inspector Jiang!" Upon seeing Jiang Ning's arrival, the man who had been knocking on the door quickly bowed to him.

"You've come to see me, haven't you?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Yes, sir!" the man replied, then said, "The prefect sent me to invite you over, and also told me to tell you that the Prince of Huai'an has arrived!"

"Understood!" Jiang Ning nodded, then turned to instruct Lü Yi, "No need to come along, wait for me at home!"

Upon seeing Jiang Ning's gaze, Lü Yi immediately lowered her head.

"Yes, son!"

Jiang Ning then crossed the threshold.

"Let's go!"

"Young master, the umbrella!!" Green Ripple quickly grabbed the oil-paper umbrella that was placed on the wall and chased after him.

Jiang Ning took the oil-paper umbrella she handed him, patted her head, and then opened the umbrella and stepped into the rain.

Behind.

Luyi stood under the eaves, quietly watching Jiang Ning's figure disappear into the distance.

Her fingers were now intertwined.

"The fact that the young master won't let me go means there's bound to be danger on this journey! But I can't be of any help!"
