Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 177 - 81: Whetstone, the Seventh Grade’s Astonishment!

Luoshui River.

Below the surface of the water.

Zing—

Zing—

Zing—

With three rapid sounds erupting in the water,

Liu Qingsong had completely pulled away from Jiang Ning by a full ten meters.

Then, he reached his right hand into his waistband.

Swoosh—

A soft sword was instantaneously drawn from his waist.

With a flick of his wrist, the soft sword in his hand straightened into a line.

Only at this moment did Liu Qingsong finally take a long breath and find the leisure to scrutinize Jiang Ning.

At the same time,

Jiang Ning's right arm, washed over by Qi-Blood, had just returned to normal.

"Is this the power of Martial Arts Seventh Grade?"

"What explosive power!"

He marveled silently in his heart, "A mere iron bead could shoot out with enough force to numb my arm, and that too under water where the flowing water mitigates the impact. If this were on land, it would be even more terrifying!"

Thinking of this, he felt even more certain that luring Liu Qingsong into the lake was a wise move.

On land, facing a Martial Arts Seventh Grade directly would be extremely dangerous.

But in the water, it was different.

A mere Martial Arts Seventh Grade, as long as he was in the water, he couldn't lose.

On this point, Jiang Ning was full of confidence.

The Water Control Divine Ability gave him enough confidence.

…

At this point, Liu Qingsong first carefully sized up Jiang Ning, then glanced at two corpses nearby.

Immediately after, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was as calm as water.

But despite his outer calmness, a storm was raging in his heart.

In that moment of crisis, he had not hesitated at all.

With a snap of his fingers, he unleashed explosive power beyond his limits, and now those two fingers were temporarily disabled.

Even with the physical resilience and muscle strength he possessed, his fingers couldn't withstand the explosive force from his entire body.

He was well aware of how terrifying the explosive power he had just emitted with his finger snaps was.

Even a one-centimeter-thick iron plate would be pierced through by the iron beads he had just flicked.

This kind of destructive power, at such close range, in his opinion, even Tian Buyi would have been killed.

But obviously, Jiang Ning was standing unharmed before him, indicating that his four snaps had not touched Jiang Ning at all.

"You're quite good!"

"You've hidden your skills quite deeply!"

Liu Qingsong slowly began to speak, his wrist vibrating.

The long sword in his hand trembled lightly, immediately stirring up waves spreading in all directions.

"It's my turn now, isn't it?" Liu Qingsong spoke, moving swiftly towards Jiang Ning.

In front of his powerful explosive force, the water beneath his feet might as well have been solid ground.

His long sword instantly turned into a streak of sword light rushing towards Jiang Ning, parting the flowing water, visible to the naked eye.

This sword aimed straight for Jiang Ning's throat.

Seeing this,

Jiang Ning also instantly took action, Five Layers of Power burst forth, allowing him to launch an ultimate strike.

Whoosh—

The blade split the water, and even beneath the surface, a brief vacuum emerged.

The next moment.

Clang—

Blade clashed against sword, sparks flew.

Immediately, a powerful impact burst forth from where the blade and sword collided, like a bomb dropped into deep water.

The strong impact even vaporized some of the water, creating a void beneath the surface.

At the same time, the water surged wildly, causing both of their figures to involuntarily retreat backwards.

The surface of the lake above their heads also stirred with waves.

"What a formidable lad!!!" Feeling the impact transferred through his sword, Liu Qingsong's expression became exceptionally solemn.

His heart was suddenly filled with dread.

Because he realized that in a head-on clash, he had not gained any advantage.

After all, he was a Martial Arts Seventh Grade and an elder of Medicine King Valley, a strength that placed him among the formidable even throughout Dongling County, not just Luoshui County.

Let alone in small Luoshui County, barely more than ten individuals could confidently best him.

Yet the Jiang Ning before him, as far as he knew, had only been practicing martial arts for a few months.

Had he not experienced it himself, he would have never believed such a scene could occur.

What kind of monster was this?

Liu Qingsong's gaze fixed firmly on Jiang Ning, recalling the scene he had witnessed when he first entered the water, his heart filled with deep confusion.

Then, his gaze flickered from the soft sword in his hand, his pupils narrowing once again.

For he saw that the sword he had carried for nearly two decades now had a notch on its blade.

Seeing this notch pained his heart immensely.

At the same time, a wave of apprehension arose in his heart towards the long sword in Jiang Ning's hands.

Liu Qingsong was very aware of how much influence weapon superiority could have in a fight like this.

Ordinary blades could hardly breach his defense, let alone inflict a fatal wound.

Thus, facing ordinary weapons, he could focus solely on attacking without receiving blows, maintaining a complete advantage.

Even if someone was two or three times stronger than him, they wouldn't be his match under these circumstances.

But now it was different, the blade in Jiang Ning's hands was clearly extraordinary, capable of damaging his divine weapon in the clash.

Merely relying on physical robustness, how could one block such a weapon?

Failure to block even one strike could mean death or severe injury.

On the other side,

Jiang Ning was also inwardly shocked.

So strong!!!

The head-on clash let him truly feel how fierce Liu Qingsong's burst of power was.

At this moment, he felt a slight numbness in his tigers' mouth, his Qi-Blood roiling inside.

Bear in mind, Liu Qingsong was holding a soft sword, which clearly favored skill over brute strength.

But even so, the force Liu Qingsong had unleashed made Jiang Ning feel outmatched.
