Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 743 Divine Might, the Fall of a Titled Grandmaster!

In the big formation.

Above their heads was a slowly rolling sword diagram, below them were sharp auras, and in all directions, gleaming swords rose into the air.

at this time.

Suddenly, Jiang Ning's body shone brightly with golden light, and countless golden rays burst forth from his body, instantly illuminating the surrounding courtyard in a golden glow once again.

In just a moment, a majestic figure stood tall in the courtyard.

The majestic figure was enveloped in golden light, its face blurred, with only the outline of its features barely discernible.

Its body was sixteen feet tall, half a body taller than the surrounding courtyard walls, like a creature that had stepped out of mythology.

As this towering figure appeared, the surrounding air seemed to thicken.

These changes were completed in the blink of an eye. When Yun Shanhe and the other man saw them, their eyes twitched slightly, and a hint of apprehension flashed across their faces. Their expressions became even more wary.

Suddenly, crimson flames erupted from the towering golden figure, distorting the surrounding air.

A powerful aura erupted.

"Oh no!!" Yun Shanhe felt a sudden sense of alarm.

Even from ten feet away, just looking at the golden figure shrouded in crimson flames, he could feel a strong aura of death.

That was an aura he couldn't resist, an aura that could bring him death.

at this time.

"kill!"

The towering figure suddenly roared, the sound shaking the surroundings and making Yun Shanhe's heart tremble.

Then, he saw a burst of fire suddenly pierce through the rainbow.

Swift as a rainbow, fast as lightning.

It expanded rapidly in his pupils, instantly filling his entire field of vision.

At this moment, his entire body was sending out a strong signal.

escape!
The farther you escape, the better!

If we don't escape, we'll die!!
boom--

There was a roar.

Yun Shanhe was immediately shocked. Before the ordinary-looking man beside him could put up any resistance, he exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

He could feel the blood mist dissipating, and the stench filled his nostrils.

At that moment, he was filled with fear and trepidation.

Jiang Ning made another move.

With a single punch, the ignited inner fire blazed even brighter in an instant.

An inexhaustible power surged from Jiang Ning's body.

boom--

Another punch landed, and flames surged.

Under Yun Shanhe's astonished gaze, a massive fist, as large as a futon, landed on him.

With a loud bang, its body, which was even tougher than refined iron, exploded.

The blood mist dispersed.

At this moment, Jiang Ning finally stopped.

As he watched the two plumes of blood mist drifting away in front of him, the surging power within him gradually subsided and calmed down.

The crimson flames began to die down, and the golden light dissipated as well.

He quickly recovered.

The two clouds of blood mist in front of them had also thinned considerably, and the smell of blood was not as strong as before.

"My current strength is even greater than I imagined!!"

At this moment, his heart was not at peace either.

This was his first all-out effort in a long time.

It is the combined combat power of the sixteen-foot golden body and the Heart Calamity Fire.

With just one punch, the man of unknown strength was turned into a bloody mist and exploded in his hands.

With a single punch, Yun Shanhe, a Grandmaster of the title level, was also killed, turning into a bloody mist and exploding.

“Things are different now!” He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, a smile slowly appearing on his face, and bright confidence shining in his eyes.

Even a mere finger bone that once carried the power of Yunshanhe made him feel immense pressure.

He once lacked the confidence and strength to confront Yun Shanhe head-on at Zhixuan Mountain.

But now, things are completely different.

As powerful as Yunshanhe, as powerful as a Grandmaster with a title.

He was no match for the power of a single punch.

Moreover, he knew that his strength was still rapidly improving.

In about half a month, the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method will be successfully completed, and he will reach the perfect state of the second rank.

Taking another step forward, when one's essence, energy, and spirit reach a perfect balance, one enters the first-grade Hunyuan Realm.

"With our current strength, we can act with much more ease!"

At that moment, the gloom in his heart seemed to dissipate considerably.

Having heard those words from many people before, he felt a lot of pressure.

Only now do I feel much more relaxed.

next moment.

He then looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, the sword array above his head was torn apart, and a figure appeared in front of him.

Grandma Bai!
Upon seeing this figure, he was immediately taken aback.

He had gone to the capital before, thinking he would have a chance to see Granny Bai's true identity.

However, during his trip to the capital, he did not see Granny Bai at any of the martial arts examinations or the palace banquets.

At that moment, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Because the white-haired old woman in the sky looked much younger than he had seen before.

The previous Granny Bai had the appearance of an old woman, and from her appearance, she looked to be around sixty years old.

Grandma Bai is now about forty years old.

Both his mental state and appearance are different from before.

If their temperament and mental appearance were not almost identical, he would have almost doubted his own judgment.

at the same time.

Granny Bai tore open the sword array diagram, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately settled down.

Because she saw that Jiang Ning was safe and sound below.

"I'm not late!" she thought to herself.

With a flash, he entered the area covered by the sword formation and landed in front of Jiang Ning.

"Greetings, senior!" Jiang Ning bowed.

"You're too kind, Marquis of Dongling!" Granny Bai said. "Where are the people who tried to assassinate you, Marquis?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes flashed, and she looked surprised.

Someone died here?

“Yes!” Jiang Ning nodded.

"Your Excellency, what skill you have!" Granny Bai exclaimed in amazement.

At this moment, she also noticed the fading blood mist around her.

“They underestimated me! They were too careless and underestimated me!” Jiang Ning said.

Grandma Bai nodded, acknowledging Jiang Ning's statement.

"After all, you're too young! And those people have lived too long! They always judge people by common sense! It's only natural that they capsized in your hands!"

"I must thank you, senior!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in thanks.

"You're too kind, Lord Marquis! I've made a wasted trip! But it's all worth it if you can get through this crisis safely!" Granny Bai said.

"In any case, I will remember your kindness, senior!" Jiang Ning said.

“Lord Marquis, you must be more careful in the future. Once there is a first time, there will be a second and a third! After one failure, they will definitely pay more attention to you!” Granny Bai said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning frowned. He now knew how many powerful figures were hidden in those blessed lands.

Even the small Qingyuan Blessed Land has a Nascent Soul expert.

This shows that, looking at all the major grotto-heavens, the number of Nascent Soul experts is not particularly scarce.

He was confident that he could give an ordinary first-grade expert a run for his money.

He felt completely insecure if he encountered a Nascent Soul expert.

According to his understanding, a primordial spirit expert, in a suitable environment, can instantly become an immortal.

Even in this day and age, it possesses extraordinary power.

It forms its own little world, and can transform into a rainbow and depart.

The speed at which a rainbow transforms is incomparable to the speed of sound.

It can easily reach speeds of ten times the sound barrier, or even higher.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the power of a Nascent Soul expert.

He had also witnessed the power of a Nascent Soul expert.

That was someone who could almost kill Lu Zhan with a single sword strike.

Even now, he finds such strength incredibly daunting.

At this moment, Granny Bai seemed to see the apprehension in Jiang Ning's eyes.

"My lord, there is no need to be too nervous! The Luo Tian Pan of the Surveillance Bureau has now been fully activated. The Luo Tian Pan is connected to the Heavenly Dao and monitors the thirty-six prefectures of the Nine Provinces. The changes in the field brought about by the life level of every first-grade martial arts expert will be reflected on the Luo Tian Pan."

"Even a first-rank expert hidden in a blessed land will be instantly locked onto by the Luo Tian Pan as soon as he steps out of his small world."

"Different levels of life have different fields of experience."

"As for those powerful immortal cultivators, they have nowhere to hide!"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning's expression changed slightly.

"So, it seems that experts above the first rank have nowhere to hide?"

“Yes!” Granny Bai nodded: “The Luo Tian Pan is extremely powerful. It is not something that can be concealed in front of the Luo Tian Pan. To completely deceive the secrets of heaven is even more difficult.”

"That puts my mind at ease!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Lord Marquis, you must not be careless! They were careless this time! But some second-rank Grandmasters possess combat power no less than some first-rank ones," Granny Bai said.

Jiang Ning nodded: "So I'm going to pack up and set off for the capital in a few days. I'll stay there for a while and spend the New Year there! I'll return to Dongling City next spring."

Granny Bai nodded: "That's one way! In the capital, they can't make a move! Even if the defenses of the capital are as strong as those of a deity like Lord Fuyuan, they can't really cause much trouble! If it weren't for the power struggle between important figures that day, Lord Fuyuan would have fled in a sorry state long ago. Why would the Martial Spirit have to take action personally?"

During the conversation, Granny Bai subtly reminded Jiang Ning of something.

Then he saw that Granny Bai was starting to age.

Wrinkles on the face increase, and hair turns from black to gray, and then from gray to white.

His posture also began to become somewhat hunched, and he became a little shorter.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning's eyes widened in surprise.

“My lord, there’s no need to be surprised. The power has returned to my original body, so I naturally have to look old. I just temporarily borrowed a lot of power from my original body,” Granny Bai explained to Jiang Ning.

"Grandma Bai, what a skillful way you are!" Jiang Ning couldn't help but praise.

"They're just minor tricks!" said Granny Bai, who looked to be around sixty years old.

Then she asked, "My lord, what are your plans regarding the large array covering this area?"

“Of course we’ll break this formation! As for the formation base, we can sell it for some money!” Jiang Ning said.

“Then please break the formation, Lord Marquis. Now that my power has returned to my original body, I am unable to deal with this great formation for the time being!” Granny Bai said.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Then, he closed his eyes.

His pupils were ablaze with fire, the flames seemingly about to burst forth from them.

With the Fire Eye activated, the flow of energy within the formation instantly became exceptionally clear.

Jiang Ning then chose a direction to walk in.

They soon arrived at a corner.

Then he stomped his right foot.

boom--

The soil exploded, and several shiny stones instantly flew into Jiang Ning's hands.

What he saw at that moment was that the array area suddenly darkened, and the power of the entire array also decreased slightly.

the other side.

Granny Bai glanced at the spirit crystal in Jiang Ning's hand, then at Jiang Ning's fiery eyes, and understood what was going on.

Subsequently, Jiang Ning used his extraordinary Fiery Eyes to retrieve the spirit crystals buried on the ground.

After taking it out, he simply put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

The energy contained in the spirit crystal was also quickly absorbed by his body to restore the life force burned by the Heart Tribulation Fire.

A moment later, he found all the spirit crystals buried underground and put them all into his mouth.

At this moment, the entire formation, having lost the energy supply from the spirit crystals, has become shaky and on the verge of collapse.

next moment.

Jiang Ning began to retrieve the sword buried in the ground again.

Prior to this, he had already seen the location of the eight treasure swords buried underground using his clairvoyance.

When he took out the first sword, the size of a dagger, the entire formation collapsed with a roar.

A moment later, all eight swords appeared in his hands.

"My lord, what do you plan to do with these eight swords engraved with array diagrams?" Granny Bai walked over and asked Jiang Ning.

"Later in the capital, let's sell it and get some resources for cultivation!" Jiang Ning said.

“Since Your Excellency has no use for this sword formation, could you transfer it to me? When Your Excellency returns to the capital, I will personally deliver the resources to you and will certainly not let Your Excellency suffer any loss!” Granny Bai said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled.

"You're too kind, senior! Since you've taken a liking to this sword formation, please feel free to take it! As for the rest, they're not important."

"Then thank you very much, Lord Marquis!" Granny Bai said with a smile. "I've never seen the array patterns on this sword formation before. I'll take it and study it!"

“Since it’s of great use to you, senior, you should take it!” Jiang Ning said.

"I won't stand on ceremony!" Grandma Bai nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared, and the eight swords disappeared from his hand.

"My lord, I'll take my leave now!" Granny Bai said to Jiang Ning.

"I'll see you off, senior!" Jiang Ning said.

After a while.

After seeing Granny Bai off at the entrance of the mansion, Jiang Ning turned and went home.

Although it was a brief exchange, the battle ended in the blink of an eye.

However, it still caused some damage to the house.

He also doesn't plan to spend time repairing it.

He had already made up his mind to return to the capital and stay for a few days.

Although this battle made him realize that his strength was greater than he had imagined.

Although the Heart Calamity Fire is a divine power that involves burning one's own life force, the combat power it unleashes is exceptionally strong.

Especially after adding the supernatural power of the sixteen-foot golden body.

The effects of the two supernatural powers overlap, resulting in an extremely powerful effect.

Even a grandmaster as powerful as Yun Shanhe was powerless against such a display of strength.

With just one punch, he was blasted into a bloody mist.

Even so, he dared not be careless.

Life cannot be relived; you only have one chance.

It's never too much to be cautious.

Spending a few months in the capital would be enough to further enhance his strength.

When faced with an even greater crisis, we will be able to cope with it calmly.

Having come this far, he can only move forward, not backward.

Moving forward is like walking on thin ice, but retreating is like falling into an abyss!
