Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

But after the arrows broke through the air, not only did they fail to shorten the distance to Duan Tianya, the gap was instead widened.

As Duan Tianya swept over the lake surface.

The powerful kinetic energy stirred up a storm, the gusts sweeping the waves, rushing toward Jiang Ning.

On the waterside pavilion, Jiang Ning calmly watched Duan Tianya approaching swiftly.

A Second-Grade Grandmaster, he hadn’t mistaken.

As for danger.

Here, he was unafraid.

At Li River Water Palace, he was alone, without any other friends or family present.

At this moment, with water and a conducive environment for escape, he also possessed many other life-saving techniques.

Additionally, with complete authority over flesh and blood in his possession, boasting an indestructible body, he didn’t believe he’d suffer a reversal in fortune.

And now, a Second-Grade Grandmaster, knowing his current strength, dared to attack him; he understood this Second-Grade Grandmaster must have methods he hadn’t yet comprehended to rely upon.

Otherwise, no one would be so foolish, inviting their own demise.

And would a Grandmaster of a Second-Grade level really be foolish?

Countless thoughts flashed rapidly through Jiang Ning’s mind.

And at this moment.

Duan Tianya had already swept across the expansive lake surface, just over thirty yards from Jiang Ning.

Gazing at Jiang Ning on the pavilion, a vicious glint flickered in Duan Tianya’s eyes.

Facing King Luoshui, second in the world, he had no confidence in confronting him head-on.

Because he was a true Immortal, currently the world’s second Martial Arts Strongman.

Having joined Cave Heaven Blessed Land for over a century, he understood what this represented.

It was talent and potential unreachable to him, power he couldn’t collide with.

Precisely because of this, having had no choice but to take this assignment, he spent all his savings accumulated over the years, and due to carrying the task of visiting the Grotto Heaven’s master, he obtained the Small Shifting Talisman for his survival.

With this life-saving talisman in hand, just a thought was enough to break through spatial barriers, instantly appear a thousand miles away, and escape safely.

Without such reliance, he lacked the courage to approach.

"Now’s the moment!"

Gazing at Jiang Ning at this distance, Duan Tianya muttered to himself, then swiftly pulled out two silver-white talismans from his bosom.

The talismans were about the size of a palm, entirely silver-white, engraved with mysterious symbols.

"Go!"

Duan Tianya shouted, and the two silver-white talismans suddenly erupted with dazzling silver light, along with the burst, an ancient and vast aura awakened within the talismans.

"Not good!"

Feeling this aura, Jiang Ning’s pupils contracted.

Compared to his physical reaction, the string in his heart beating wildly was faster to alert him of the danger.

The power contained within those talismans was enough to threaten him.

"Careless!"

Jiang Ning’s heart tightened, and his figure vanished from his original position.

With a step out, he appeared directly in front of Duan Tianya.

Quick!

This speed was beyond reason, like traveling through time and space.

Duan Tianya couldn’t even react, only seeing a silhouette flash by and appear before him.

His pupils shrank, feeling the impending aura of death, his heart without time for hesitation.

"Activate!!"

His heart shouted.

Instantly.

A wave of spatial fluctuations enveloped him.

Along with it, a talisman appeared before Jiang Ning.

The talisman slowly dissipated, and Duan Tianya’s figure began to fade away.

All these changes unfolded in an instant.

At this moment, the distance between the two was less than a foot.

But at this instant, Jiang Ning could feel that this space of less than a foot seemed to separate worlds, defending against heaven and earth.

Within inches, yet it felt like worlds apart, no matter how he reached forward, the gap didn’t close at all.

Spatial methods!

His heart paused.

These were spatial techniques far more intricate than what he had encountered.

This wave transcended space, guiding to a distant other end.

He understood that in less than a moment, this mysterious middle-aged man before him would flee to an extremely remote distance.

A distance difficult for him to search.

Countless thoughts flashed rapidly again through his mind.

Afterward, he made his choice, focusing his gaze and forming a sword with his fingers, he swung forward.

The void instantly distorted, followed by tearing apart.

"Impossible!!!" Duan Tianya’s pupils shook greatly, his face showing disbelief.

The space before his eyes was forcibly torn apart by an invisible force. His body, originally shrouded by the Small Shifting Talisman and about to dissipate, suddenly halted, as if frozen.

Chh—

Blood splattered.

Jiang Ning’s joined sword fingers pierced through Duan Tianya’s chest like an invisible sharp blade, and then the power expanded within him, instantly spreading throughout his body.

His body instantly became riddled with holes, with life force rapidly fading away!

Duan Tianya’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound.

The force tearing through his body spread so quickly that he couldn’t react at all.

He never imagined that the life-saving talisman granted by the Immortal, reputed to instantly traverse thousands of miles, would be interfered with so crudely and directly by King Luoshui, even a moment of delay could be fatal at this point.

Jiang Ning withdrew his fingers, and Duan Tianya’s corpse limply fell, plummeting towards the lake surface below.

He didn’t look again, for the crisis he had sensed earlier hadn’t disappeared with Duan Tianya’s fall but had already arrived.

He looked up at the two silvery-white light clusters in the sky above, the silver light blazing, like two small silver moons rising gradually over the lake surface.

An ancient, majestic aura swept over like a tide, as if the entire Li River Palace was plunged into a cold, deathly stillness.

"As expected, it’s useless!!" Jiang Ning muttered silently to himself.

He had first struck to see if killing the person who activated them would make these two terrifying treasures lose their controller and fall silent again.

Now, it turned out he had thought too much.

These two terrifying treasures evidently had little to do with that Second-Grade Grandmaster.

Just then.

Crack—

Crack—

In the silver light, something seemed to explode, followed by a dazzling and splendid burst of light.

Under such dazzling silver light, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

In the moment he squinted, two tall figures over a yard high replaced the talismans, standing in midair before the waterside pavilion.

They were clad in ancient style silver armor, engraved with runes, the runes flowing with a faint silver glow.

The helmets completely covered their faces, exposing only a pair of silver eyes devoid of emotional fluctuations.

Each held a silver long spear, the spear’s body shimmering with cold light.

They had no breath, no heartbeat, only a chilling yet majestic aura.

Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers!!

Seeing these extraordinary beings before him.

Four matching words flashed in Jiang Ning’s mind instantly; his pupils contracted, and his heart skipped a beat.

He had seen descriptions of Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers in ancient texts.

In the Ancient Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court’s soldiers weren’t Immortals who had ascended.

They were treasures that could freely absorb Heaven and Earth Energy, maintaining eternal activity.

Each Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier held the combat power of a half-step Immortal.

These were standard war puppets of the Heavenly Court, guarding the Heavenly Palace gates, indestructible, fearless of death, without thoughts or consciousness, pure war machines.

Though called half-step Immortals in combat, Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers were invincible within the Human Dao Domain.

Yet they were a level below when faced with Immortals.

"Trouble!" he thought to himself.

At that moment.

Before he could think carefully, the silver eyes of the two Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers simultaneously locked onto Jiang Ning, moving without warning!

Their movement was swift as silver light, as if space itself was being sliced.

No excessive maneuvers, just one on the left and one on the right, the two silver spears turning into silver rays slicing through the sky, one at his brow, one sweeping his waist, sealing off all escape routes seamlessly.

"So fast!"

Jiang Ning’s heart tensed, not daring to be negligent.

As his thoughts raced, Divine Power erupted all around him, the Vajra Immortal Body instantly pushed to the extreme.

The Dragon and Tiger Golden Core within him also exploded, the sounds of dragon roar and tiger growl resonating through his blood and bones, vast purple energy surged from the Dantian, instantly merging with Divine Power and Great Sun Divine Body, forming a protective film of interwoven gold and purple light around him.

He did not retreat but instead clenched his fists, opening left and right, choosing to confront the silver spears head-on.

He did not believe, having come this far, he could not block even one spear at full force.

This was also his rare chance to test the strength of his physical body.

Strength’s level ultimately had to be measured through battle.

Clang—!!!

Clang—!!!

Almost simultaneously, his fists precisely landed on the sides of both spears.

His fist bones heavily pounded on the spear shafts.
