Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 324 - 43: The Peak Strike_2

Immediately,

Jiang Ning slowly drew his bow and shot an arrow.

In an instant,

a violent wind arose around him, snowflakes swirling around his figure.

At that moment, Jiang Ning seemed to be enveloped by an invisible cyclone, and he stood at its very center.

On the other side,

a middle-aged woman suddenly felt a tremor in her heart.

"No good!"

Her expression filled with horror, she immediately looked up into the sky.

In her line of sight, the area was shrouded in endless night.

But a premonition told her that a great crisis had descended.

In the endless darkness, something had locked onto her, a presence that could threaten her life.

Just then,

Boom—

Jiang Ning released the arrow in his hand.

The arrow, flashing with electric light, pierced through the night sky, turning into a blue arc of lightning heading straight for the middle-aged woman.

Jiang Ning’s Wind Thunder Arrow Skill had undergone three Break Limits and had reached an unfathomable level.

Having been able to shoot arrows that broke the sound barrier early on, Jiang Ning’s arrows now traveled a kilometer in a blink of an eye.

And Jiang Ning was only two to three hundred meters away from the middle-aged woman.

Such a brief distance,

Just an instant.

By the time the middle-aged woman saw the thunder light in the void,

She couldn’t react in time, and her body was pierced by the arrow.

Then the arrow pierced through her body, shattered the stone bricks, and burrowed into the ground.

Boom—

Suddenly, a roaring sound came from beneath the ground.

In that moment, it seemed as if a dragon beneath the earth had turned over, the stone bricks shooting in every direction, and the walls on either side collapsed, sending soil flying into the air.

At that moment,

The middle-aged woman looked down at the wound that went straight through her chest to her back, her pupils dilating.

"This... this is impossible!"

"Impossible!!!"

She murmured to herself.

Immediately,

She looked in the direction the arrow had come from, a trace of venom flashing in her eyes.

"Jiang Ning, I want you dead!!!"

Her voice was piercing to the extreme, cutting through the void, clearly reaching Jiang Ning’s ears.

Hearing such a robust statement given her condition, Jiang Ning’s eyebrow raised, his expression one of surprise.

A wound that penetrated from the front chest to the back, and on top of that, the size of a fist.

Not to mention the Power of Thunder and Lightning contained in the arrow had fully integrated into the woman’s body.

Under these circumstances, it was shocking that the middle-aged woman could still utter such a robust phrase, astonishing Jiang Ning.

The next moment,

Jiang Ning saw flesh begin to grow at the woman’s chest, quickly filling the fist-sized wound like wriggling maggots.

Then her body began to undergo a grotesque transformation, similar to how Shi Xiaoyuan had transformed at the bottom of the lake.

Her body continuously swelled, her clothes soon bursting at the seams, hanging in tatters on her body.

Her exposed flesh was made of large chunks of black muscle, cast like iron.

Veins and tendons as thick as fingers spread across her entire body like worms.

"So that’s it!!" Jiang Ning realized as he watched the scene from afar.

Shi Xiaoyuan had also turned into this kind of monstrous state, possessing an almost undying body with just the power of Martial Arts Eighth Grade.

In the blink of an eye,

In Jiang Ning’s eyes, the middle-aged woman who seemed on the verge of death had turned into a three-meter-tall monster, composed of mutated flesh and blood.

"I want you dead!!"

A deep voice, like a wild beast’s roar, entered Jiang Ning’s ears.

At the same time,

The mutated flesh monster began striding towards Jiang Ning.

At that moment her speed was extremely fast, covering dozens of meters in one step.

"I’ve found you!!" the deep roar sounded.

Jiang Ning saw her leap into the air.

Despite her massive body, her agility was not hindered at all.

Boom—

A foot landed on the building, and as she leapt into the air, the structure beneath her feet collapsed thunderously.

Watching the leaping flesh monster, a sword already appeared in Jiang Ning’s hand.

"Old buddy, it’s been a while since you’ve seen action!" Jiang Ning caressed the blade.

Instantly, the blade vibrated continuously, emitting a humming sound.

Spiritual weapons possess a spirit, and at that moment, it was the spirit within the sword responding.

After months of feeding the sword with drops of blood, Jiang Ning felt a bond with the long sword, as if it were an extension of his own flesh and blood.

Holding the sword in his hand felt like an extension of his own body.

The next moment.

Jiang Ning watched as the flesh-mutated monster rapidly approached from below, leaping forward with a bound.

Buzz—

The long sword in his hand quivered lightly.

It stirred up waves of trembling sounds in the void.

In an instant,

the pupil of the flesh monster reflected a sword light as bright as daylight, blindingly radiant.

This sword light completely dominated his vision.

In his eyes, there was only this streak of sword light, flickering in the dark night.

Szzt—

Flesh parted!

Jiang Ning landed on the ground, a large amount of black blood spilled behind him.

Sizzling—

The black blood fell onto the snowy ground, much like boiling lava landing on accumulated snow.

"Sword Force!!"

"The Sword Force that moves heaven and earth!!"

Watching Jiang Ning’s gaze, fear flickered in the eyes of the flesh monster.

"Not bad insight!" Jiang Ning nodded.

This sword strike was his peak performance so far.

This strike focused his essence qi and spirit.

Merely swinging once, Jiang Ning felt his essence qi and spirit were depleted by margins.

Both the Inner Breath at his Dantian and the Qi Blood Power in his body were nearly drained by thirty percent due to this strike.

But the outcome of this strike greatly satisfied Jiang Ning.

He had witnessed the formidable transformation of Shi Xiaoyuan.

When Shi Xiaoyuan transformed into a monster, his power increased by more than a fraction.

Far surpassing his usual strength.

Whereas the current monster, though Jiang Ning hadn’t discerned her Martial Arts Realm,

Undoubtedly, was much stronger than Shi Xiaoyuan back then.

In Jiang Ning’s view, she was above Seventh Grade, or an expert at concealing her tracks from Seventh Grade.

Otherwise, throughout this journey,

Her tracks couldn’t have been hidden so well!

In a situation where this monster possessed such strength before transforming, now having nearly an immortal body, her power must have multiplied.

Yet under such circumstances, she was severed almost in half by his bursting Sword Force.

...

"Who exactly are you?" the flesh monster asked Jiang Ning, her eyes full of fear.

At this moment, her body, severed by the Sword Force, had blood endlessly spouting inward, rendering the supposed immortal body completely ineffective.

Because the wound, still concentrated with persistent Sword Force, prevented her body from self-healing.

This situation was something she had never encountered before.

As previously, she had never seen a Sword Force that could move the power of heaven and earth.

Possessing such a level of Sword Force, as she understood, was generally reserved for grandmasters.

The most terrifying opponent she had encountered before was a Fifth Grade Internal Strength warrior.

Using her transformation, although still no match for the Fifth Grade Internal Strength opponent, she managed to struggle for a long time and successfully escaped.

At the same time,

Hearing her question, Jiang Ning calmly said, "The one who’s sending you off!"

"I mean no harm!!" The middle-aged woman hastily spoke out.

"I do!" Jiang Ning stated flatly.

As the words fell,

Jiang Ning raised the long sword in his hand.

Sword light appeared.

Szzt—

With one swing, a basketball-sized head was instantly severed by Jiang Ning.

Sizzling—

Black blood spurted from her neckline, melting the snow rapidly.

"Still don’t know what grade she is?"

"If she’s Seventh Grade, with her God Worship Sect status, I could earn five thousand Contribution Points!"

"If she’s Sixth Rank, I get fifty thousand Contribution Points!"

"Perhaps more than Seventh Grade, a mighty Sixth Rank!"

Jiang Ning watched the headless body slowly fall, murmuring to himself.

At the same time,

Silence enveloped the surroundings.

All the villagers, upon hearing this commotion, trembled and hid in their homes, under beds, or tables.

Merely hearing the sounds from outside, the bursts of thundering previously, they knew it was a battle between deities, not something they could interfere in.

As the disturbance gradually subsided,

Jiang Ning faintly heard footsteps coming from afar.

Moments later,

The black-robed constable uniform entered Jiang Ning’s line of sight.

"It’s Commander Jiang!!"
