Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1268 - 177: Mountain and River Finger! (2)

Chapter 1268: Chapter 177: Mountain and River Finger! (2)

According to the court’s wanted notice, Li San the Blade Master does not even possess the combat power of a top Grandmaster, merely a strong Grandmaster.

And just a few days ago, Fang Yu, who died at his hands, was truly a top Grandmaster.

"Even if the intelligence is wrong, Li San the Blade Master, at his peak, is nothing more than a top Grandmaster!!" Although there was doubt in his heart, Jiang Ning did not dare to be careless and underestimate his enemy.

If Zhi Xuan Mountain indeed hired Li San the Blade Master, knowing that he has the strength to kill Fang Yu, they wouldn’t send someone to throw their life away.

Moreover, Li San the Blade Master is not someone to be taken lightly.

Years ago, he made a formidable reputation for himself in the clouds of Yunfan.

Over the years, he drifted between various commanderies, though wanted by the court, they have been unable to deal with him.

How could a figure who rose from the wilderness just come to meet his death?

"Fortunately, no one knows my true strength!"

"Even I don’t fully know it!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile.

Then.

He called Linglong, asking her to take the household members away, first to Dongling Mountain.

Because after observing Li San the Blade Master’s movements, he was more certain that Li San the Blade Master was coming for him.

...

On the other side.

The autumn rain pattered.

A tall burly man with a broad blade on his back, wearing a bamboo hat, walked along the clean and empty road.

Due to the rain, there were few pedestrians on the road.

As soon as they saw Li San the Blade Master from afar, pedestrians hurriedly retreated.

Because everyone could sense the intimidating aura emanating from Li San the Blade Master.

At this time.

Zhao Yulong stood on a high building, his gaze fixed on Li San the Blade Master, his brows furrowed.

"He’s really heading to Jiang Ning’s home!"

He looked up and could see Jiangning Mansion in the distance.

"I hope Jiang Ning can handle it, with Li San the Blade Master’s strength, I’m not much help!" Zhao Yulong muttered, feeling a bit disheartened.

Thinking back, when he achieved the rank of Heavenly Person, how spirited he was.

A Heavenly Person Grandmaster, even looking across the world, is quite formidable.

But during this time, both Fang Yu and Li San the Blade Master left him feeling deeply powerless.

A top Grandmaster can easily fend off the siege of ten Heavenly Person Grandmasters alone.

The strength gap between them is entirely different.

At that moment.

His eyes narrowed.

On the long street leading to Jiangning Mansion, not a soul was in sight.

But at this moment, a figure appeared.

And that figure was Jiang Ning.

"He’s here!" Zhao Yulong smiled, his figure moving, breaking through the air.

...

Simultaneously.

Li San the Blade Master heard a noise from afar.

He paused, looking in the direction of the sound, and instantly saw Zhao Yulong walking on air.

"Heavenly Person Grandmaster, Zhao Yulong!" Information connected in his mind, then he indifferently withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

As he advanced.

The hilted sword on his back trembled slightly.

With each collision, it emitted a clanking sound.

The falling rain, when approaching an inch around him, silently disappeared.

As he moved forward, the sword on his back vibrated more vigorously, and the rain could no longer come within three inches of him... five inches... seven inches...

Turning the corner of the street, Li San’s field of view suddenly broadened.

The nearly thirty-foot-wide road was empty.

The doors of houses on both sides of the road were tightly shut.

Li San also noticed the man standing in the middle of the street.

The man’s face was handsome and youthful, with long hair cascading down his back.

He looked no different from an ordinary person.

Yet standing in the rain, not a single drop touched him.

"You must be Jiang Ning!" Li San the Blade Master slightly adjusted his bamboo hat, revealing eyes brimming with sparkle.

Though they were separated by dozens of yards, Li San’s voice, though not loud, landed clearly in Jiang Ning’s ear.

Just as expected!

Thoughts flashed across Jiang Ning’s mind.

"You came here for me?" His voice rose, instantly reaching Li San the Blade Master’s ear.

"Of course!" Li San the Blade Master replied.

"We have no enmity, no connection. Who hired you?" Jiang Ning’s voice rang out again.

"The word ’hired’ is well-chosen!" Li San the Blade Master laughed, raising his hand to grab the bamboo hat, tossing it aside, revealing a gleaming bald head and a vicious scar on his face.

Then, Li San the Blade Master continued.

"I’ve been entrusted with this, how could I reveal another’s information?"

As he strode forward, falling rain retreated.

The sound of the long blade on his back became louder and more distinct.

"I am Li San the Blade Master, having heard Lord Jiang is ranked fourth on the Heavenly List, I came today specifically to learn from you!"

With each word, his aura intensified.

As he moved forward, the momentum around him grew stronger.

Watching Badao Li San stride closer, Jiang Ning’s brow furrowed slightly.

At this moment, he could feel the sword intent surging from Badao Li San.

Step by step forward.

The sword intent on Li San grew stronger.

The sword intent burst forth, tearing through the rain.

As he advanced, the rainwater on the street could not land, dissipating invisibly halfway down.

...

On the other side.

Zhao Yulong stood on a rooftop, observing the scene on the street, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

"Such powerful sword intent!"

"The name was aptly given indeed!"

He murmured to himself.

...

At the same time.

The broad sword on Badao Li San’s back vibrated more intensely.

Suddenly.

The sword intent shot skyward like a solid force, instantly scattering the rainwater dozens of feet above.

At that moment.

Li San’s right hand reversed its grip on the sword handle on his back, and the sword intent accumulated along the way fully erupted.

"Kill—"

He shouted fiercely.

Separated by several yards from Jiang Ning, he struck with a powerful slash.

As the sword was drawn, a thunderclap sounded above, lightning flashing, instantly illuminating the street in a ghastly white.

The moment the sword slashed out, the surging sword intent transformed into an almost tangible sword gang, heavily slashing towards Jiang Ning.

Right at this moment.

A golden light suddenly flashed around Jiang Ning.

The Vajra Immortal Body was unleashed to its limit.

Rumble—

In an instant, a booming sound rang out.

The ground trembled, yet due to its dampness, no dust arose.

Jiang Ning stood firm, completely unscathed.

Looking at Badao Li San, his brow furrowed slightly.

Badao Li San had come all this way without causing him any sense of threat.

Even though the sword intent was long accumulated, it did not pose a threat.

That long-gathered slash was the same.

Therefore, he trusted his instincts and took it head-on.

The final result matched his perception.

Badao Li San’s fully unleashed slash did not harm him.

This also indicated that the court’s record of Badao Li San’s strength was not wide off the mark.

It was just in the strong Grandmaster’s range.

Far from being as powerful as Fang Yu.

At this moment, Jiang Ning was filled with doubt.

With Badao Li San’s strength, what gave him the courage to confront him?

Was it a strength far inferior to Fang Yu?

Just then.

He saw a jade box suddenly appear in Li San’s hand.

"You are indeed strong! Stronger than recorded on the Heavenly List!" Li San said with a smile.

The next moment.

He clenched his five fingers, instantly crushing the jade box in his hand.

In an instant.

The winds and clouds changed dramatically, a terrifying aura erupted.

"That is!!!" Zhao Yulong in the distance suddenly looked at the object exploding in Badao Li San’s hand with shock.

At this moment.

A deep sense of alertness rose in Jiang Ning’s heart, his body hair standing on end.

"Die—"

Badao Li San’s voice rang out, his expression ferocious.

Boom—

The booming sound grew louder.

Soon after, Jiang Ning saw a finger.

A finger like a mountain.

The finger pointed, rivers emerged, the water surged, white waves roared towards Jiang Ning.

At this moment, he held nothing back in his heart.

Countless golden lights exploded from within him, his figure began to transform, a golden phantom started to materialize.

Soon after, the surging river water engulfed him.

The wide street became a riverbed, the river water roared forward, unstoppable.

Seeing this scene before him, Zhao Yulong was profoundly shocked.

How could it be possible—

What is this level of power, how could it explode in his hands!!!
