Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 418: Chapter 414: Fighting the 7 Great Heaven’s Prides

”Who’s there?”

All eyes instantly focused on the newcomer. He had a head of white hair and features as handsome as a god’s. Standing there, his aura seemed incompatible with the mortal world, like a Banished Immortal who had descended to the earth—extraordinary and transcendent.

”You’re... the Master of Myriad Swords Sect, Ning Jiang!”

Soon, the prodigies recognized Ning Jiang one after another.

Ning Jiang was a renowned figure in the Six Eastern Provinces. The incident with the Extreme Heaven Sect, in particular, had pushed his fame to a new peak. Even the Super Sects had heard of him.

With a reputation like his, it was natural for portraits of him to circulate throughout the Six Eastern Provinces. Jian Jiuge and the others had seen his likeness before, so they recognized him at a glance.

”A paltry little Myriad Swords Sect dares to vie with us for the Celestial Pill? Aren’t you afraid your sect will be annihilated, with no one left alive?”

Zhi Tianhou’s eyes burned like torches as he spoke in a cold voice.

As a member of a Super Sect, he didn’t give the Myriad Swords Sect a second thought.

”So you’re Zhi Tianhou? And what does a mere Heaven-Burning Valley amount to?”

Ning Jiang met his gaze, matching his hostility.

Though it was his first time meeting these prodigies, Wuliang Palace had provided him with detailed information on all of them beforehand, so he recognized them all.

”What did you say?”

A towering inferno ignited in Zhi Tianhou’s eyes, and an endless torrent of Flame erupted from his body.

”You seem to think you’re quite strong. I’d like to see what gives you the right to say such things in front of me.”

He took a step forward, and the roiling flames transformed into massive Fire Pythons that coiled toward Ning Jiang. A terrifying heat filled the entire space, turning it into a scorching furnace.

”Petty tricks.”

Ning Jiang’s expression remained unchanged as he threw a punch.

RUMBLE!

The Thunderbolt within his body bloomed. Bolts of immense size shot forth, any single one of which could severely injure an ordinary Immortal Realm expert. With the power of a single punch, he could slaughter Immortal Realm cultivators as easily as dogs.

BANG.

Thunderbolt and Flame clashed violently. The sky above them split in two—one side a sea of fire, the other an expanse of Purple Thunder. The sight was astonishing, shocking everyone present.

”I’ve heard that the Master of Myriad Swords Sect is young, but has cultivated his Physical Power to achieve an Indestructible Physique. I’d like to test it myself.”

Another terrifying ripple of power surged forth. The one who spoke was Xia Tianyu of the Primordial Sect.

The Primordial Sect was renowned for its members’ Physical Power. Throughout the Six Eastern Provinces, if they claimed to be second in physical prowess, no one would dare claim to be first.

He was lean, not the brawny, robust type. But when his foot landed, the air exploded, and his body shot toward Ning Jiang like a savage dragon.

”Take my fist!”

He threw a simple punch. Terrifying Blood Qi condensed around his fist, which actually left a red streak of light in the air as it moved.

’The Primordial Giant Spirit Body?’

Ning Jiang’s eyes narrowed slightly. He knew Xia Tianyu cultivated a Body Refining Technique called the Primordial Giant Spirit Body. Rumor had it that once this technique reached Perfection, one could grapple with Flood Dragons.

”When it comes to physical strength, I’ve never been afraid of anyone.”

Without retreating a single step, Ning Jiang clenched his five fingers into a fist and smashed it forward.

His fist was fair and flawless, almost looking delicate. But when he threw the punch, ripples spread through the air, and the vast Fist Force stunned all the prodigies.

This was a clash between the Nine Tribulations Celestial Thunder Body and the Primordial Giant Spirit Body!

Both were Top Level Dharma Gates!

DONG!

When their fists collided, the sound was deafening, powerful enough to shatter metal and stone. A shockwave swept out from the point of impact.

Their hair whipped wildly behind them, and their clothes flapped in the wind.

”Good!”

A grave look appeared in Xia Tianyu’s eyes. From that one punch alone, he knew Ning Jiang’s physical body was no weaker than his.

”I’d also like to test your strength. Be careful.”

The next to act was Yan Qingxue. Her figure drifted up like a snowflake, and with a flutter of her sleeves, she sent a palm strike flying.

The palm strike seemed to transport one into an Ice and Snow World. Completely opposite to Zhi Tianhou of Heaven-Burning Valley, her power was one of extreme cold that could freeze blood and even the soul.

As she attacked, snowflakes drifted down from the sky, setting off her image like an Ice Fairy of extraordinary charm.

Ning Jiang’s gaze was as calm as still water. No matter how beautiful a woman was, if she was an enemy, he would show no mercy.

He still answered with a punch.

BOOM!

Fist and palm met, releasing a heaven-shaking bang. Neither could gain an advantage over the other.

The fourth person to attack was Jing Fanzheng of Wuliang Palace.

His aura surged, as if several volcanoes were hidden within his body. It was an explosive and profound power.

And as he looked at Ning Jiang, there was a peculiar glint in his eyes that no one else could see.

He was the only one present who knew that Ning Jiang was a pawn of Wuliang Palace!

But he wouldn’t let anyone else know this. A pawn was most effective when it could be used as a surprise move to catch the enemy off guard.

Therefore, he attacked with his full strength, holding nothing back.

”Get lost!”

Ning Jiang barked coldly. He felt nothing but killing intent for Wuliang Palace, and this punch was even more powerful than the ones before.

BAM.

A vast shockwave swept out in all directions. Under the force of this punch, Jing Fanzheng was actually forced back half a step.

”I’ve heard your Sword Dao is unparalleled and that you founded the Myriad Swords Sect. Do you dare use the name ’Myriad Swords’ as a challenge to my Celestial Sword Sect? Let me see how good your Swordsmanship is!”

When these words were spoken, the others all showed looks of interest.

One was the Celestial Sword Sect, the other, the Myriad Swords Sect.

A duel between two Top Level Sword Cultivators wasn’t something one could witness just any day.

’Jian Jiuge’s strength is unfathomable, but this Ning Jiang isn’t weak either. I heard he suppressed the Extreme Heaven Sect with his sword, displaying a world-class Sword Technique that’s supposedly no weaker than those of the Celestial Sword Sect. I wonder if it’s true?’ The others were lost in their own thoughts.

”Do you dare face my sword!”

Jian Jiuge shouted, and his Treasure Sword left its sheath. A sharp, imposing aura shot toward the heavens.

”Why wouldn’t I dare?”

Ning Jiang clenched his hand, and with a clear ringing sound, the Thunder Punishment Sword appeared in his grasp.

”A fine sword.”

Looking at the sword in Ning Jiang’s hand, Jian Jiuge’s eyes lit up. As a Top Level Sword Cultivator, he could naturally tell that Ning Jiang’s sword was an absolute Top Grade weapon of its class.

”Slash!”

Jian Jiuge wasted no more words and slashed down with his sword.

A thousand-foot-long Sword Aura erupted, looking as if it would split the heavens with a single blow. Against such a strike, any Immortal Realm expert would face certain death.

Moreover, as he swung his sword, a wave of Sword Intent infused the attack, making it even more powerful.

As the top prodigy of the Celestial Sword Sect, he had naturally mastered Sword Intent, and his application of it was already flawless.

The descending Sword Aura was reflected in Ning Jiang’s pupils. His expression was utterly calm as he raised his arm and brought his sword down.

CLANG.

The two world-shaking Sword Auras collided!
