Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Jiang Ning’s figure had long vanished into the rolling smoke.

At the center of the mountain, Jiang Ning’s clothes were in tatters, revealing his well-defined physique underneath.

Golden blood slowly seeped from his fists, revealing the bones.

Yet, these injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye under the authority of flesh and blood.

Pain!

He could feel the pain transmitted from the pressure on his body.

But at this moment, his gaze was sharper, staring hard at the two silver lights descending from the sky, piercing the smoke above.

In his current vision, even though the speed of those two Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers was fast, in his eyes and the speed of his mental operation, it seemed as slow as a tortoise.

Because his realm was the true immortal realm.

Even more so, it was a superior Immortal Foundation, known as the Nine Profound Yin Yang Immortal realm.

In front of a true immortal, heavenly soldiers are nothing. One-on-one, they can only dominate among mortals.

He wanted to use more of his power.

For instance, his Divine Skill, the Ten Zhang Golden Body.

With the multiplication of such divine skills.

He was confident he could easily suppress these two heavenly soldiers.

But he dared not.

Because he had long sensed a gaze from afar piercing through the endless void, falling on him.

At the moment the heavenly soldiers appeared in the Li River palace, he had sensed it.

It was not the gaze of Martial Saint but the gaze of the master behind those heavenly soldiers whom he thought of.

Choosing to escape from Li River palace just then had multiple reasons for him.

One aspect was to avoid hurting more innocents and to preserve the integrity of Li River’s palace buildings and grounds as much as possible.

On another side, he wanted to try, after leaving Li River palace, would he escape the lock of that gaze from afar.

Because with his full exertion, the killer move of the Dragon and Tiger Golden Core, the dragon and tiger convergence can only explode one last time.

The Dragon and Tiger Golden Core was about to deplete.

Once he loses support from this secret technique, his battle strength will drop a level, falling from that extraordinary realm, and will struggle to contend with those two Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers.

So he wanted to try, after escaping the royal capital, whether he could evade that gaze lock.

If he could, he would use other means to suppress those two Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers.

But now he found it could not happen.

That gaze still existed, still locking onto him.

With spiritual sense in him, he did not doubt his intuition.

"They are still observing me, perhaps assessing my strength, or perhaps seeing if Martial Saint will act because of me, and thereby evaluating Martial Saint’s state."

His heart was like a bright mirror, knowing his judgment was ten to eight nine correct.

In such a situation, he dared not expose more.

Because what he had exposed up to now is already too much!

The art of rainbow transformation, the Dragon and Tiger Golden Core, Vajra Undying True Body, Great Sun Divine Body, the recovery power of authority in flesh and blood...

If he were to use more trump cards, like the full might of Taixu Yin Yang Sword, his spatial techniques, or his Ten Zhang Golden Body...

Once all trump cards are revealed, and his strength fully grasped, the enemy need only target the arrangement, and he will have no room to maneuver, only to be calculated to death.

That would be the true ten deaths and no lives.

Unlike now, he still had room to maneuver.

"No more exposure! At least not at this moment, under the scrutiny of this gaze." He instantly made the judgment in his heart.

All sorts of thoughts were completed within his heart in a split second.

Since there’s no escape, then battle!

He suddenly leaped from the pit, shattered a hard boulder behind him, and rushed towards the two Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers again.

Since he could not reveal more means, he could only use his existing abilities to fight bloodily to the end!

Having personally experienced the combat strength of Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers, he did not fear his demise risk.

With the authority of flesh and blood in him, at most, he would suffer some hardship.

Boom—

As the thought flashed through his mind, his fist had already struck out, colliding fiercely with the incoming silver halberd.

The air waves rolled, lifting all the collapsed rocks around him into the air.

This time, one-on-one, he was not blasted off but evenly matched, forcibly standing the impact.

Another soldier swept with the silver halberd, and, relying on strong insight and perception, he twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the halberd’s edge, reversed a punch onto the halberd’s body, using leverage to pull away and instantly return, attacking another soldier.

In his wholehearted engagement, no matter how fast the two soldiers were, they appeared as slow-motion in his perception.

A realm above a higher level made his perception delicate and mental operation exceedingly swift.

He shuttled, maneuvered, and clashed fiercely between the two soldiers, striving to make close combat one-on-one instead of facing their combined force simultaneously.

However, the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier’s power, speed, and defense were near perfection, assisted by a constraining heavenly net, making him unable to disentangle and had to engage in close combat.

And the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier’s body was practically invulnerable.

No matter how many punches it endured, there was no slightest damage.

And the power was terrifyingly great.

Every collision caused injury, bones breaking, organs trembling, and blood vessels rupturing.

But the next moment, injuries healed in a breath.

Destruction, rebirth, more destruction, more rebirth...

His body seemed to be a continuously destroyed and reconstructed furnace.

However, he soon discovered the last power triggered from the dragon and tiger convergence, as the battle continued, rapidly consuming, his body began to fall from that extraordinary realm, battle strength began to decline.

His heart sank.

Being able to combat two heavenly soldiers simultaneously relied on the power of the Dragon and Tiger Golden Core.

The secret technique of dragon and tiger convergence.

With the dragon and tiger convergence, he could step into an extraordinary realm.

Essence Qi and spirit comprehensively elevated, battle strength surged.

That was an extremely remarkable realm.

But now the Dragon and Tiger Golden Core was completely depleted, the power of dragon and tiger convergence was also sliding down.

Making him fall from that realm.

Shhh—

A halberd slashed across the waist, raising a spray of blood, the wound deep to the bone.

His body’s defensive power weakened, his body’s reaction speed also slowed.

Though everything about the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers was distinctly visible.

His eyes saw it clearly, but his body had begun to lag behind its speed.

Bam!

Another halberd struck the back, stumbling him forward, mouth spraying fresh blood wildly, only feeling the spine seemingly about to fracture.

Battle strength declining, defense weakening, speed slowing...

A vicious cycle began to appear on him.

"It can’t go on like this..." Jiang Ning’s gaze condensed.

Ordinary methods were no longer enough to support, then he could only use those forbidden techniques.

Along the way, he mastered many forbidden techniques.

Forbidden techniques at the cost of damaging the body and life.

Boom—

In the blood, flames suddenly burst.

In just an instant, he felt his battle strength surge a notch.

This was the power brought by burning blood.

It was the secret technique of burning blood, learned from Liu Qingsong of Medicine King Valley.

Burning blood, to explode stronger combat power.

Using this technique damages the body’s origin, depletes Qi-blood.

But at this moment, he couldn’t care less.

With the explosion of this power, he immediately felt his battle strength increased by about ten percent.

Far less than expected, yet within anticipation.

After all, the burn blood secret technique, now, couldn’t make it to the stage, too low-level.

"There’s still... Heart Tribulation Fire!" A thought flashed through his mind.

The next moment, blood-colored flames spread from his heart, instantly enveloping his body.

Permeating limbs and bones, organs.

Filling every corner, spreading in every drop of blood, every strand of hair.

His entire body was surrounded by blood-colored flames, amidst the chaotic drooping hair, blood-colored flames danced at the moment.

Even his pupils turned into leaping crimson flames at that moment.

Endless power surged from various parts of his body.

In just an instant.

He felt his power climbing rapidly, surging quickly.

"Still, Heart Tribulation Fire is strong!"

Feeling the power pouring from within, his heart bolstered.

Especially, at this moment, he could clearly perceive.

The burning Qi-blood, the lost essence of the body, regained in continuous loss supplemented.

That was the gift brought by the authority in flesh and blood.

The downward momentum continued ascending, even surpassing the peak period of the Dragon and Tiger Golden Core!
