Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1288 - 187: Meeting Xiao Wuque, the Second of the Martial Saint Mansion!_2

Chapter 1288: Chapter 187: Meeting Xiao Wuque, the Second of the Martial Saint Mansion!_2

He thought for a moment and then temporarily put aside this idea.

He was not in a hurry to improve the progress of this cultivation technique.

Moreover, the trait of the Vajra Immortal Body was too obvious and could easily expose his identity.

Even though there was no one around, he did not want to act rashly.

In the next moment.

He began to practice swordsmanship.

As the momentum of the sword in his hand rose, it instantly distorted the surrounding void.

Under the distortion of the void, the light was also twisted.

Then light and darkness intertwined, flickering unpredictably.

Countless sword shadows and figures filled the surroundings.

As one figure hadn’t dissipated, another figure already appeared.

As time passed, the figures and sword shadows tangled with each other, making it harder to distinguish between them.

Meanwhile.

The battle on the Five Peaks was still ongoing.

Despite the slogan "Kill all who resist" resonating everywhere, not many members chose to surrender.

In an instant, what was originally the grand Zhi Xuan Mountain had now become a desolate scene, full of ruins left by the fierce battles.

And the fighting and killing continued.

But at this time, Jiang Ning no longer focused on Feng Zhen and Zhou Sheng’s progress over there.

With these two powerful individuals, after Zhi Xuan Mountain successively lost the support of Fang Daoquan and Yun Shanhe, no one could stop their advance.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning was continuously enhancing the experience value of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

The recent battle with Fang Daoquan allowed him to clearly realize the profoundness of this swordsmanship.

Without using the Taixu Yin Yang Sword, taking down Fang Daoquan was not easy.

The strong physical body of a top Grandmaster made his life force incredibly vigorous.

Ordinary attacks on such individuals could not cause severe injuries.

Even heart damage was hard to significantly affect such people.

Moreover, such individuals were not immobile targets, how could they stay in place to be hit?

With movement, they could parry and block, dispelling seventy to eighty percent of the force.

This made it impossible for him to inflict truly severe injuries.

However, once the Taixu Yin Yang Sword was used, it was completely different.

The mystical and unfathomable Taixu Yin Yang Sword rendered Fang Daoquan completely defenseless.

Every true killer move could exert full force on Fang Daoquan.

After just a few moves, he effortlessly claimed Fang Daoquan’s life.

This was the power of the Taixu Yin Yang Sword.

Currently, the Taixu Yin Yang Sword was only at the mastery level, not yet at small success.

Once small success was achieved, the swordsmanship’s power would surely reach a new level.

Thereafter, each breakthrough could reach a new stage.

If the Break Limit was completed, it could even generate new related traits.

Based on his previous experience, the higher the martial arts quality level, the stronger the related traits generated would be.

An hour later.

A figure suddenly appeared on the mountain peak where Jiang Ning was.

Noticing the movement nearby.

Jiang Ning immediately retracted the sword momentum.

As the swordsmanship halted.

In an instant.

Countless sword shadows and figures seemed to be pulled back in.

After just one breath.

The sword shadows and figures that filled the surroundings vanished completely, leaving only him standing there with a sword.

[Taixu Yin Yang Sword experience value +39]

Seeing the prompt flash before him, he ignored it with a glance.

"Marquis!" Then he saw Zhou Sheng beside him, wearing a python robe, and immediately cupped his hands in salute.

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

His robe was damaged, stained with blood and dirt.

The long hair that was originally tied up neatly was now scattered loosely.

"Lord Jiang’s swordsmanship... extraordinary!!" Zhou Sheng looked at Jiang Ning, a trace of amazement flashing in his eyes.

Having just heard Feng Zhen describe the swordsmanship Jiang Ning has mastered, he lacked a concrete understanding in his heart and wasn’t particularly surprised.

After all, Fang Daoquan is always only Fang Daoquan, not Yun Shanhe.

Even if one hasn’t reached the Second Grade Grandmaster Realm, no matter how strong, they can only match an ordinary Second Grade Grandmaster and are far from qualified to compare with him and Yun Shanhe, who are title-level grandmasters.

But having now witnessed Jiang Ning practicing swordsmanship with his own eyes, he realized that Feng Zhen’s words were indeed accurate.

This swordsmanship, even with his vision, he couldn’t comprehend it.

Just as he arrived, he instantly realized he couldn’t discern where Jiang Ning’s sword and body truly were.

Unable to see through it, it indicated that if he were to engage in close combat with Jiang Ning,

he would be easily suppressed by this swordsmanship. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Unable to see clearly, effective and precise defense, parry, and dodge cannot be achieved.

Thus, reliance would solely be on great strength, and a powerful physique to withstand it.

At this moment, he suddenly understood that Fang Daoquan’s death was not unjust.

He, as a title-level Second Grade Grandmaster, couldn’t see through it.

So Fang Daoquan, before this swordsmanship, naturally had no chance to counter.

In a situation where their foundational strength isn’t vastly different, a swordsmanship like this is enough to easily suppress and kill.

Then.

Zhou Sheng quietly suppressed his emotions.

"No wonder Lord Jiang can reach this point at such a young age. Amidst wars, he still manages to quietly practice swordsmanship here alone."

Hearing Zhou Sheng’s compliment, Jiang Ning smiled.

"After a recent battle, I felt something and came here alone to practice swordsmanship to process it! I believe nowadays at Zhi Xuan Mountain, with the Marquis there and Vice Mansion Master Feng there, they shouldn’t need me."

Zhou Sheng immediately nodded: "With Feng Zhen and me around, indeed, you needn’t continue to intervene! But just after a single battle, Lord Jiang can gain new insights, which is truly enviable in terms of talent."

"Marquis, you’re kidding me. In front of you, my talent is really quite ordinary! It’s just a little more perseverance, sweat, and martial practice than others!" Jiang Ning said.

"To achieve these, is already rare in the world!" Zhou Sheng praised.

Then he showed a bit of hesitation and then began.

"I wonder what Martial King wanted from you earlier?"

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

Then said: "Martial King wants me to quickly go to Royal Capital for a visit! To meet Xiao Wuque!"

"Xiao Wuque?" Zhou Sheng first showed slight surprise on his face then nodded thus: "Oh, I see! The Blood Exchange technique you have is a secret from the Martial Saint Mansion! Having it in your hands must be Xiao Wuque’s intention! Seems like that gentleman values you greatly!"

"Is Xiao Wuque special?" Jiang Ning noticed the unintentional respect shown on Zhou Sheng’s face and instantly realized that this respect stems from just mentioning Xiao Wuque.

"Very special!" Facing Jiang Ning’s question, Zhou Sheng firmly nodded.

Then continued: "Among Martial Saint’s several direct disciples, the one who entered earliest is a Taizu recorded in the history books."

"To argue the strongest in skill is Martial Saint’s second disciple."

"But to say the one with the most talent and most likely to inherit Martial Saint’s mantle, it must be Martial Saint’s youngest closed-door disciple, Xiao Wuque!"

"Nowadays in Martial Saint Mansion, Xiao Wuque also holds a significant position."

"His true standing is even the second person in today’s Martial Saint Mansion."

"And the first person is of course that universally unrivaled Martial Saint!"

"Do you think this person is special?"

With the final question, Zhou Sheng again posed to Jiang Ning.

"Special!" Jiang Ning instantly agreed by nodding.

Also, with a bit of surprise in his heart.

He already knew Xiao Wuque’s identity originally.

But did not expect Xiao Wuque to hold such a special position in Martial Saint Mansion.

From Zhou Sheng’s words, he could tell.

If that Martial Saint truly sat eternally, taken by time.

Then Martial Saint Mansion’s next successor is highly likely to be this youngest, recently-entered, yet most talented Xiao Wuque.

"Lord Jiang, being considered important by Xiao Wuque is an acknowledgment of your talent as well as your opportunity! If you go to Royal Capital, visiting Lord Xiao Wuque should be your top priority!"

Upon hearing this.

Jiang Ning cupped his hands in salute: "Thank you Marquis for the advice!"

"There’s no need for that!" Zhou Sheng smiled: "Today’s operation can be so successful and the credit should be thirty percent yours! It should be me thanking you instead!"

"Marquis is too kind!" Jiang Ning smiled and said.

Zhou Sheng smiled: "I will not publicize your achievements today, to avoid implicating the destruction of Zhi Xuan Mountain onto you! After all Yun Shanhe isn’t dead, and Xuanyuan Blessed Land wasn’t broken! Though it seems successful today, the actual target failed! In the future, the threat of Xuanyuan Blessed Land and Yun Shanhe remains. Especially Yun Shanhe, his years of efforts destroyed today will surely lead to vengeful thoughts, we must be cautious!!"

"I understand!" said Jiang Ning.

Seeing this, Zhou Sheng nodded.

Then again spoke: "Rest assured, your contributions I will report truthfully in secret, and won’t misappropriate a single bit of yours!"

"I certainly trust Marquis!" Jiang Ning said.
