Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 695 Breaking Limits, Golden Trait! The Fall of a Peak First-Rank Martial Artist!

It's snowing heavily.

The world was a blanket of white, and the mountain wind blew like a knife.

The snowflakes hit Jiang Ning's body, only to melt from her body heat.

[Skill]: Indestructible Vajra Body (41223/50000 four times) (Characteristics: Dragon Elephant Power (Dark Purple), Flawless Body (Dark Blue), Sixteen-Foot Golden Body (Light Purple))

He glanced at the panel and then closed it.

To this day, the progress in achieving the Vajra Indestructible Body is already quite significant.

We are only less than 9,000 experience points away from completing the project.

"It's time to continue!"

"As Zhao Yulong said, this heavy snow has actually formed a natural barrier, giving Dongling County a few months to breathe!"

Thinking about his conversation with Zhao Yulong, he decided not to waste any more time.

After arriving at the open space in the courtyard covered with snow, he assumed the corresponding posture of the Vajra Indestructible Body.

next moment.

His blood and qi surged and churned throughout his body, and the snow beneath his feet began to melt.

……

Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The heavy snow had stopped two days ago.

But the climate remained unchanged, with the sky still overcast and hazy.

call--

Jiang Ning slowly exhaled a breath of stale air from his stomach.

The turbid air transformed into billowing smoke.

Large beads of sweat were dripping from his body.

The stone bricks underfoot were completely dry, without the slightest trace of snow or water stains.

The snow only began to accumulate a good distance away from the person.

[Skill]: Indestructible Vajra Body + (Four Limit Breaks 50000/50000) (Traits: Dragon Elephant Power (Dark Purple), Flawless Body (Dark Blue), Sixteen-Foot Golden Body (Light Purple))

He glanced at the panel and then smiled.

To this day, he has finally completed the final stage of the Vajra Indestructible Body skill.

Then, his gaze swept across the column of energy points.

[Source Energy]: 205033
"Two hundred thousand points, don't let me down!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

The thought immediately flashed through my mind.

next moment.

The energy points decreased rapidly, like a waterfall.

In an instant, the original 200,000 energy points were reduced to just over 5,000.

thump—

Suddenly, the sound of drums resounded from within his body.

thump—

Then another drumbeat sounded.

dong dong——

The sound intensifies, and the frequency increases accordingly.

dong dong dong-

It only takes a moment.

His heart was pounding rapidly, like a drumbeat, and his breathing became rapid as well.

But he slowly closed his eyes.

All of a sudden.

He saw his heart pounding like a high-pressure water pump, making his blood surge through his body like the rushing waters of a mighty river.

He felt a tremendous change taking place in every part of his body, and felt his cells undergoing a frenzied proliferation.

Constantly splitting, constantly dying.

With each cycle, the classified cells become stronger.

at the same time.

He also saw his skin shimmering with dazzling golden light.

Golden light occasionally bursts from the pores.

At the same time, there was a feeling of tension.

He quietly felt the transformation of his body.

The transformation brought about by the indestructible Vajra body.

time flies.

Within each pore, beams of golden light are illuminated and kept constant.

As the golden light was continuously illuminated, the towering figure appeared even more sacred, supported by the golden light.

Another moment passed.

When the last pore was illuminated by golden light.

Her whole body radiated golden light, and her black hair was loose and flowing over her shoulders, dancing wildly in the wind.

the other side.

Zhong Ling stood at the window, staring blankly at Jiang Ning, who looked like a saint in the courtyard.

Just then, Jiang Ning opened his eyes.

All of a sudden.

Two golden lights burst forth in his eyes.

As the golden light shone, the snow in front of them melted instantly, as if it had never existed.

Only after a moment did the golden light in Jiang Ning's eyes dissipate and return to silence.

He stood still and slowly raised his right hand.

Even now, you can still see that the right palm is enveloped in countless golden lights that fill every pore.

boom--

He clenched his fist, and the air in his hand instantly burst open with his five fingers.

A cloud of white mist exploded from my hand, becoming clearly visible.

He also felt the air shooting out like water jets through his fingers.

"It's even stronger now!!" he thought to himself.

Then, he looked at the panel.

[Skill]: Vajra Indestructible Body (5 times breaking the limit 3/60000) (Characteristics: Dragon Elephant Power (Dark Purple), Flawless Body (Dark Blue), Sixteen-Foot Golden Body (Light Purple), Indestructible Golden Body (Light Gold))

As soon as he opened the panel, his eyes were immediately drawn to the glittering gold on it.

"gold?!!"

His eyes narrowed, and a stormy sea seemed to surge within him.

After a brief moment of reverie.

"call--"

He let out a small breath.

"It has a golden property."

At that moment, he instantly felt that all the effort he had put in during this period had been worthwhile.

I feel that these 200,000 energy points are excellent value for money.

From blue to purple, from purple to gold.

Each color change will result in a significant improvement.

"An indestructible golden body, I wonder what the effect is?" The thought flashed through his mind, and his gaze turned to his panel.

【Indestructible Golden Body (Light Gold)】: Possessing a golden body, it is difficult to be harmed by weapons or penetrated by Taoist magic.

"This is a bit mysterious!" he muttered to himself.

Then he spread his five fingers and clenched his fist.

It maintains its golden state.

He couldn't sense how much his body's defenses were working, but he could clearly feel that his strength had increased compared to before.

"I should be able to kill someone with just my fists!" he muttered to himself.

After a while.

Sensing the strain of maintaining his golden body, the golden light in his pores slowly dissipated.

He immediately realized it too.

The greatest support for maintaining a golden body comes from the skin beneath the muscles.

However, maintaining this state also takes a toll on the body.

In his current view, it's more like a supernatural power.

"No, that's not right either. Perhaps it's a coexistence of active and passive forces!" After the golden light on his body completely dissipated, his thoughts changed again.

Because he noticed the skin was tighter and more resilient than before.

The membrane beneath the skin is a crucial element of the body's defense.

The reason why the physical defense of a ninth-rank martial artist is so strong, capable of withstanding most of the damage from ordinary swords and blades, is because of the membrane beneath the body.

The existence of the membrane is equivalent to wearing a close-fitting soft armor that can cover the whole body.

"Now I'll be even more confident when facing the experts of the Yellow Heaven Sect!" He clenched his fist again, feeling the rising power within him, which added to his confidence.

After a while.

In the bathroom.

Steam rose from the tub as Jiang Ning lay on the edge, looking completely relaxed. Lu Yi knelt on the edge, vigorously scrubbing Jiang Ning's back.

"Put a little more force into it!" Jiang Ning squinted his eyes, quietly enjoying this rare opportunity to relax.

Ever since he learned that the Yellow Heaven Sect had gained momentum in Xisha County, he had felt a strong sense of crisis.

In his view, the rise of the Yellow Heaven Sect was the greatest symbol of the coming of a chaotic world.

Like other rebellions, whether it was the Black Lotus Cult or other rebel groups.

The imperial court enfeoffed many princes and marquises.

Any king or nobleman is a martial arts expert and can easily quell a rebellion.

Especially those princes who were granted fiefdoms, each of them was a top-tier martial arts expert.

If such a powerful individual has no equal to face, they alone possess the strength to sweep away thousands of troops.

Therefore, those rebellions were all very easy to resolve.

However, the Yellow Heaven Sect is different.

The Yellow Heaven Cult has not only millions of followers, but also tens of millions of believers.

The most terrifying were that Huang Tian Daoist and the Twelve Heavenly Kings within the Huang Tian Sect.

The existence of these top experts means that neither the imperial court nor the royal family can do anything about them.

The only person who can truly defeat the Yellow Heaven Sect is the master of the Martial Saint Mansion.

However, when Fu Yuan Shengjun caused a great disturbance in the capital, many of the Martial Saint's secrets were quickly revealed.

Although that Martial Saint is still alive, it is impossible for him to go to Xisha County, thousands of miles away, to resolve the crisis brought about by the Yellow Heaven Sect.

Instead of being hasty and reckless, the Huangtian Sect focused on consolidating public support.

If this matter drags on, it will inevitably destabilize the imperial power, and all factions will have their own agendas.

When that time comes, everyone will push the wall down, how can there not be chaos?

While enjoying the rare peace, he secretly pondered his future.

a long time.

"What day is it today?" Jiang Ning suddenly asked.

“Reporting to Young Master, today is the 23rd of November,” Green Ripple replied hastily.

"Is it November 23rd already?" Jiang Ning murmured. "Five more days!"

"Five more days, is Young Master preparing to participate in the martial arts examination?" Green Ripple's eyes lit up.

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded. "It's an opportunity we can't miss."

"When does the young master plan to depart?" asked Lüyi.

"Tomorrow at the earliest!"

at dusk.

After a few days of pause, the heavy snow began to fall again.

"Lord Zhao, what's wrong?" Jiang Ning asked with a surprised expression as he looked at Zhao Yulong, who was covered in snow and had hurriedly appeared in front of him.

"Something terrible has happened!" Zhao Yulong exclaimed.

"what's up?"

"The Inspector General of Nan'an Prefecture and the Inspector General of Zeshan Prefecture are dead!" Zhao Yulong said.

"Was it done by Huang Tianjiao?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Not necessarily!" Zhao Yulong shook his head.

"Understood!" Jiang Ning nodded immediately: "They want to escalate the conflict between the Yellow Heaven Sect and the imperial court!"

“That’s what I think too!” Zhao Yulong shook the snow off his body and stepped over the threshold.

The two then walked into the front yard, which was covered in snow.

The passageway that had been cleared earlier is now covered with a layer of snow again.

The soles of my shoes crunched as they stepped on the snow.

"Is the Yellow Heaven Sect making any moves now?" Jiang Ning asked as they walked.

“The city of Dacang in Nan’an Prefecture is now under the control of the Yellow Heaven Sect, and Dacang City is a fortress for advancing into Nan’an Prefecture, possessing the advantage of natural defenses,” Zhao Yulong said.

"So, the Yellow Heaven Sect's current target is actually Nan'an Prefecture?" Jiang Ning asked.

Zhao Yulong nodded: "There are signs of this. Currently, Zeshan Prefecture is snowbound and the mountains are closed. Apart from Xisha County, which is warm like spring, Baichuan Prefecture has a relatively pleasant climate. However, the rest of Guangning Prefecture, Yunmeng Prefecture, Wuyue Prefecture and other places are experiencing continuous heavy snow."

"Nan'an Prefecture is located at the southernmost part of the Great Xia territory, and its climate is more comfortable and pleasant."

While talking.

The two had already entered the front hall.

"From this perspective, the Yellow Heaven Sect intends to annex Nan'an Prefecture first," Jiang Ning said.

“Yes!” Zhao Yulong nodded, then said, “With the death of the Nan’an Prefecture Inspector, one more first-rank expert has been lost. Now, only Prince Lu Zhan of Huai’an and General Bei Shan of Dingnan remain.”

"Lu Zhan, the Prince of Huai'an?" Jiang Ning murmured.

He immediately thought of the ambush that the Prince of Huai'an had suffered.

At that moment, he immediately understood.

The inspector from Nan'an Prefecture may have encountered the same fate as Lu Zhan on that day.

Moreover, having already experienced the failed assassination attempt on Lu Zhan, the assassination attempt on the Nan'an Prefecture governor was likely to be even more powerful.

Thinking of these two points, he immediately understood.

The assassination of Lu Zhan, the Prince of Huai'an, was carried out by the Taoist Qingyuan.

The death of the governor of Zeshan Prefecture is highly likely a replay of that day.

"This is troublesome!" Jiang Ning sighed softly, feeling an inexplicable pressure in his heart.

He then placed the freshly poured tea in front of Zhao Yulong.

As the steam rose from the tea, his tightly furrowed brows were clearly visible.

“This is indeed very troublesome!” Zhao Yulong took the tea from Jiang Ning and said, “Now, the Huangtian Sect is most likely planning to take Nan’an Prefecture first, and then easily take Zeshan Prefecture when the ice and snow melt next spring. Moreover, they will have the help of old monsters from the blessed lands.”

As he spoke, Zhao Yulong's brows furrowed even more deeply.

He used to have a narrow vision, thinking that becoming a Celestial Master meant he had finally made it through.

One can be proud and invincible.

Now, with the changing situation, he realized that even a Grandmaster of Celestial Beings was powerless to change the circumstances.

The situation is merely one of turmoil.

Two top-tier experts who stood at the pinnacle of the world fell silently.

Even the identity of the murderer can only be guessed at now, with no trace found.

"I'm going to the capital tomorrow!" Jiang Ning suddenly said.

"Is it too late?" Zhao Yulong asked, snapping out of his daze.

“There’s still time!” Jiang Ning nodded, then added, “Going to the capital will be a good opportunity to find out what the arrangements are.”

Zhao Yulong nodded: "We should ask! With the Huangtian Sect gaining momentum, Zeshan Prefecture and Nan'an Prefecture will be the first to bear the brunt. We need to send some strong men to hold them off. Are we supposed to be the ones to hold them off when the Huangtian Sect attacks Dongling Prefecture next year?"

“That makes sense!” Jiang Ning nodded.

Finally, he looked up at the window.

As the cold wind blew by, the aroma of firewood-cooked rice wafted in.

“Lord Zhao, how about you stay for dinner tonight?” Jiang Ning asked immediately.

"It would be impolite to refuse!" Zhao Yulong said with a smile.

……

That night.

Night fell, and the snow stopped.

However, in the vast Dongling Mountains, the sound of snow-laden branches breaking could be heard from time to time.

Click——

Click——

In the tranquil snow-covered mountains and forests, the sound of heavy objects crushing the snow echoed continuously.

Subsequently.

Jiang Ning emerged from the dark mountain forest, looking at the open, flat land covered in snow ahead.

"This is it!"

He thought to himself.

next moment.

Looking ahead, he raised his hand and threw a punch.

boom--

In the pitch-black forest, a bright sun suddenly appeared.

A blinding flash of golden light shattered the silence deep within the mountains.

But the impact is limited to this.

The rolling mountains were enough to conceal any unusual phenomena or movements.

The thick snow was enough to swallow up all sound.

After one punch.

The snow ahead melted, revealing the charred remains left by the raging fire.

"Next, it's time to complete the final blood transfusion!"

"Now that the Yellow Heaven Sect has risen to power and ushered in a chaotic era, I must increase my strength as soon as possible!"

Thinking of the deaths of the governors of Nan'an Prefecture and Zeshan Prefecture, he felt a strange sense of crisis.

That was a powerful expert who had reached the peak of the first-grade martial arts.

Faced with the overwhelming force sweeping the world, it died silently.

He had even witnessed the Prince of Huai'an being attacked and killed.
