Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 664 Going to see Xiao Wuque, the second person in the Martial Saint Mansion!

On a hilltop.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Ning bowed respectfully to the burly man in front of him, who resembled a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"You must be Jiang Ning!" Xiang Yuan looked at Jiang Ning, his expression calm.

“It is I!” Jiang Ning replied.

He then removed the mask from his face, revealing his true appearance.

"Not bad!" Xiang Yuan nodded, then looked at Jiang Ning and sighed, "Indeed young! The younger generation is surpassing the older one!"

"Your Highness is too kind!" Jiang Ning said respectfully.

"Judging from your performance just now, you must have completed seven or eight blood transfusions, right?" Xiang Yuan asked again.

"Your Highness, we have completed eight attempts!" Jiang Ning reported.

"Eight times?" Xiang Yuan nodded, then said, "That's right! This achievement is astonishing!"

"You flatter me, Your Excellency!" Jiang Ning said.

“I never praise people!” Xiang Yuan shook his head and continued, “I only state the facts!”

"Your Highness is truly amusing!" Jiang Ning smiled.

"You're not bad, kid!!" Xiang Yuan patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder as he spoke.

Jiang Ning suddenly stumbled, causing the ground beneath his feet to tremble slightly and dust to rise.

"No need to pretend! You can easily withstand the full force of that half-step Grandmaster's attack, this little bit of power can't shake you!" Xiang Yuan glanced at Jiang Ning.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled.

"Remember, although you have made rapid progress, the dangers of nine blood transfusions are far beyond your imagination. Do not attempt to enter the realm of martial arts legends without sufficient preparation!" Xiang Yuan warned again.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Upon hearing Xiang Yuan's words, Jiang Ning immediately bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Not bad! Very polite!" Xiang Yuan looked at Jiang Ning and nodded.

Then he added, “You should come to the capital as soon as possible and visit my junior brother! The blood-changing technique you are practicing was passed down to you by him! Now that you have reached this point, he will be happy to know and will definitely help you!”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Jiang Ning said again.

"Remember this, don't forget it! It concerns your achievement! If you can step into the realm of martial arts legends, you will be able to touch the realm where your master is in the future!"

Leaving those words behind, Xiang Yuan took a step forward and instantly disappeared from Jiang Ning's sight.

"What a mysterious movement technique!" Jiang Ning exclaimed in amazement as he watched Xiang Yuan abruptly depart.

Even he couldn't figure out how Xiang Yuan left.

As for activating the Fiery Eye or the Heavenly Eye, he knew that such an act would be offensive.

There's no need to do something so offensive to King Wu, Xiang Yuan, just to satisfy one's curiosity.

"King Wu," he murmured to himself.

The fact that this title, which uses the character "武" (wu, meaning martial/military), is used to describe Xiang Yuan's strength reveals his power.

Then, he recalled what Xiang Yuan had just said.

One should not easily undergo a ninth blood transfusion, nor should one easily step into the realm of martial arts mythology.

Knowing that these words came from Xiang Yuan, he dared not take them lightly.

Xiang Yuan, that's the third disciple of that Martial Saint.

When it comes to insights into martial arts, there are very few in this world who can surpass him.

After all, his master was that Martial Saint, the Martial Saint who suppressed the world and was above immortals and gods, who brought more than eight hundred years of peace to the thirty-six prefectures of the Nine Provinces.

"It seems we need to do more preparation!"

He thought to himself.

Then, he thought of the last two sentences Xiang Yuan had said.

Go to the capital and meet his junior brother; he will surely be of help to you.

"His junior brother must be Xiao Wuque!" The thought flashed through his mind.

He suddenly felt a sense of anticipation about going to the capital.

The fact that King Wu Xiang Yuan could say this with such certainty is enough to prove its authenticity.

He knew that people like him wouldn't make hasty conclusions.

"The capital," he murmured.

Then, he couldn't help but smile.

next moment.

He vanished from the spot in a flash.

When he returned to the skies above Zhixuan Mountain, he saw a fierce battle raging below.

Faced with the unstoppable force of the Inspectorate, the remaining people of Zhixuan Mountain did not surrender without a fight.

Instead, countless people stepped forward and attacked the inspectors.

He also saw people emerge from the secret passage among the five peaks, disappear into the forest, and vanish without a trace in an instant.

At this point, he had no intention of taking any further action.

From this day forward, Zhixuan Mountain will inevitably become a part of the history of the Five Sacred Mountains Prefecture.

But he knew that the greatest credit did not belong to him, nor to the purple-robed Marquis Zhou Sheng.

Instead, it was King Wu, Xiang Yuan, who appeared later.

If it weren't for King Wu Xiang Yuan's existence, no matter how much he and Marquis Ziyi Zhou Sheng achieved...

Once the force behind Zhixuan Mountain appears, everything will come to naught.

Faced with absolute power, his and Zhou Sheng's efforts would be meaningless.

Just as Xiang Yuan's appearance showed, all of Xuan Shan's resistance and struggles were meaningless.

Thoughts flashed through my mind.

He flashed and arrived at the deserted peak of the first mountain.

call--

He slowly exhaled, pondering once again what Xiang Yuan had just said.

Nine blood transfusions, a martial arts legend, not to be attempted or trodden lightly.

His thoughts raced as he looked at his control panel.

[Skill]: Vajra Indestructible Body (Three Limit Breaks 1011/40000) (Characteristics: Dragon Elephant Power (Light Purple), Flawless Body (Dark Blue), Sixteen-Foot Golden Body (Light Purple))
He hadn't spent much time and energy on this skill for a long time.

Now, recalling the information Xiang Yuan had conveyed, he immediately understood that the improvement of the Vajra Indestructible Body should be put into progress.

Of all the techniques he has mastered, only this one can most effectively help him complete nine blood transfusions.

A strong physique is the key to a successful blood transfusion.

After thinking about it for a while, he put the idea aside for the time being.

He wasn't in a hurry to improve his skills.

Moreover, the indestructible nature of his Vajra Body is too obvious, making it easy to expose his identity.

Even though no one was around, he didn't want to do something so reckless.

next moment.

He then began practicing swordsmanship.

With a single strike of his sword, the surrounding void instantly distorted.

When the void is distorted, the light is also distorted.

Then came the interplay of light and darkness, flickering and changing.

Countless sword shadows and figures filled the surrounding area.

Before one figure had even disappeared, another figure appeared.

As time passed, the figures and sword shadows became intertwined and indistinguishable.

at the same time.

The battle continues atop the five peaks.

Despite the slogan "Slay any who resist" resounding so loudly, few members surrendered and gave up resistance.

In an instant, the once magnificent Zhixuan Mountain was reduced to a scene of devastation, with ruins everywhere after the great battle.

And the fighting and killing continued.

At this point, Jiang Ning stopped paying attention to the progress of Feng Zhen and Zhou Sheng.

With these two powerful figures present, now that Zhixuan Mountain has lost Fang Daoquan and Yun Shanhe in succession, no one can stop their advance.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning was also constantly increasing the experience points of the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword. His recent battle with Fang Daoquan had given him a clear understanding of the profound mysteries of this sword technique.

Before he could use the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword, taking down Fang Daoquan would not be easy.

The powerful physical bodies of top-tier masters grant them incredibly vigorous vitality.

Ordinary attacks would not be able to cause serious injury to someone like this.

Even if the heart is damaged, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on such a person.

And such people are not wooden stakes; how could they stand still and take a beating?
Between movement and stillness, parrying and blocking can neutralize 70-80% of an attack.

This prevents him from inflicting any truly serious injuries.

However, things are completely different after using the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

Once the mysterious and unpredictable Taixu Yin Yang Sword was unleashed, Fang Daoquan was left with no ability to defend himself.

Every single one of his truly deadly moves could unleash its full power and strike Fang Dao's entire body.

He then easily took Fang Daoquan's life in just a few moves.

This is the power of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

However, the current mastery of the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword is only at a preliminary level, not yet fully achieved.

Once mastered to a certain extent, the power of the sword technique will surely reach a new level.

From now on, every breakthrough will allow us to reach a new level.

If the limit is broken, new related characteristics can be derived.

Based on his previous experience, the higher the quality level of a martial art, the more powerful its related characteristics will be.

Half an hour later.

A figure suddenly appeared on the hill where Jiang Ning was located.

They noticed a commotion not far away.

Jiang Ning immediately withdrew his sword stance.

As soon as the swordplay stopped.

In an instant.

Countless sword shadows and figures seemed to be converging.

Just a breath later.

The sword shadows and figures that had filled the surrounding area completely disappeared, leaving only him standing there with his sword in hand.

[Tai Xu Yin Yang Sword Experience Points +39]

He ignored the notification that flashed before his eyes.

"Lord Marquis!" He then saw Zhou Sheng, who was wearing a python robe, standing to the side, and immediately bowed.

Compared to before, Zhou Sheng looked much more disheveled at this moment.

His long robe was torn and stained with blood and dirt.

Her long hair, which was originally tightly bound and neatly styled, is now loose and disheveled.

"Jiang Xunshi's swordsmanship is extraordinary!!" Zhou Sheng looked at Jiang Ning, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Having just heard Feng Zhen's description of Jiang Ning's swordsmanship, he didn't yet have a concrete understanding of it and wasn't particularly surprised.

After all, Fang Daoquan was just Fang Daoquan, not Yun Shanhe.

Before reaching the second-grade Grandmaster realm, no matter how strong one is, one can only rival an ordinary second-grade Grandmaster. One is far from being qualified to compare with him or Grandmasters of the title level like Yun Shanhe.

But now that he has witnessed Jiang Ning practicing swordsmanship with his own eyes, he realizes that what Feng Zhen said was absolutely true.

Even with his discerning eye, he couldn't understand this sword technique.

The moment he arrived, he realized that he could not see where Jiang Ning's sword was or where his body was.

The fact that he couldn't even see through it meant that if he were to engage in close combat with Jiang Ning...

They would be easily suppressed by this sword technique.

Without being able to see clearly, it is impossible to effectively and accurately defend, parry, or dodge.

Then one can only rely on the sheer force of the bricks flying through the air and one's powerful physical body to withstand the attack.

At that moment, he immediately understood that Fang Daoquan's death was not unjust.

Even he, a titled second-rank grandmaster, couldn't see through it.

Therefore, Fang Daoquan would have absolutely no chance of fighting back against this sword technique.

When the strength and foundation are roughly equal, this one sword technique is enough to easily suppress and kill.

Subsequently.

Zhou Sheng suppressed his emotions.

"No wonder Inspector Jiang has reached this level at such a young age. Even in the midst of a great battle, he can still concentrate on practicing his sword here all by himself."

Hearing Zhou Sheng's praise, Jiang Ning smiled.

"After the battle, I felt something and came here alone to practice my sword and digest it! I think that with the Marquis and Deputy Prefect Feng in Zhixuan Mountain now, there should be no need for me."

Zhou Sheng immediately nodded: "With Feng Zhen and me here, there is indeed no need for you to continue to take action! However, with just one battle, Inspector Jiang has gained new insights. His talent and comprehension are truly enviable."

"You flatter me, Lord Marquis. In your presence, my talent is nothing more than mediocre! I simply endure a little more hardship, shed a few more drops of sweat, and practice martial arts a little longer than the average person!" Jiang Ning said.

"To be able to do this is already a rare feat in the world!" Zhou Sheng praised.

Then, he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"What business did King Wu have with you just now?"

Jiang Ning noticed the hesitation on Zhou Sheng's face and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Then he said, "King Wu wants me to go to the capital as soon as possible to see Xiao Wuque!"

"Xiao Wuque?" Zhou Sheng was slightly surprised at first, then nodded: "I see! Your blood-changing technique is a secret of the Martial Saint Mansion! It must have been Xiao Wuque's doing for it to fall into your hands! It seems that the lord thinks highly of you!"

"Is Xiao Wuque special?" Jiang Ning noticed the unintentional respect on Zhou Sheng's face, and he immediately knew that this respect came from Xiao Wuque, whom he had just mentioned.

“It’s very special!” Zhou Sheng nodded with certainty in response to Jiang Ning’s question.

Then he added, "Among the Martial Saint's several direct disciples, the one who entered the sect the earliest is Taizu, who is recorded in the history books."

"The strongest among them is the second disciple of the Martial Saint."

"But if we're talking about the most talented and the most likely to inherit the Martial Saint's mantle, it has to be the Martial Saint's youngest closed-door disciple, Xiao Wuque!"

"In the current Martial Saint Mansion, Xiao Wuque also holds a pivotal position."

"His true status is even that of the second-best person in the current Martial Saint Palace."

"And the first person is that invincible Martial Saint!"

"Do you think this person is special or not?"

In his final question, Zhou Sheng turned to Jiang Ning and asked her another question.

“Special!” Jiang Ning nodded in immediate approval.

I was also somewhat surprised.

He already knew Xiao Wuque's identity.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Wuque held such a special position in the Martial Saint's Mansion.

He could tell from Zhou Sheng's words.

If that martial saint truly passed away peacefully, his life taken away by the passage of time.

Therefore, the next successor of the Martial Saint Mansion is very likely to be Xiao Wuque, who joined the sect the latest, is the youngest, but has the highest talent.

"Envoy Jiang, your being valued by Xiao Wuque is an affirmation of your talent and an opportunity for you! If you go to the capital, you should make visiting Lord Xiao Wuque your top priority!"

Hear the words.

Jiang Ning cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice, Lord Marquis!"

"No need for that!" Zhou Sheng smiled. "Today's operation went so smoothly, and you deserve 30% of the credit! I should be the one thanking you!"

"You're too kind, Lord Marquis!" Jiang Ning said with a smile.

Zhou Sheng smiled: "I won't publicize your achievements today, to prevent the blame for the destruction of Xuan Mountain from falling on you! After all, Yun Shanhe isn't dead, and Xuan Yuan Blessed Land hasn't been destroyed! Although today's success seems like a success, the real objective has failed! The threat from Xuan Yuan Blessed Land and Yun Shanhe will still exist. Especially Yun Shanhe, whose years of hard work have been destroyed today, he will surely harbor thoughts of revenge, and we must be wary!!"

“I understand!” Jiang Ning replied.

Zhou Sheng nodded upon seeing this.

Then he added, "Don't worry, I will secretly report your contributions truthfully and I won't take a single penny from you!"

“Of course I trust Lord Marquis!” Jiang Ning said.
