Chapter 155: Chapter 152: Head of the Four Great Sword Sects, Sword Qi Thunder Sound

BOOM—

A deafening sound reverberated in all directions. The very air of the entire space grew chaotic as visible storms of energy swept out everywhere.

Countless faces turned pale with horror. The aftershocks alone were enough to tear apart an ordinary Innate Limit Strong Person.

"He’s really courting death, daring to face our attack head-on. This blow has probably smashed him to pieces."

The Second Elder sneered.

"Smashed to pieces? You think too highly of yourselves."

A grand voice rang out as a golden light blossomed. Before everyone’s eyes, a ten-foot-tall golden Dharma Body appeared. This Dharma Body enveloped Ning Jiang, making him impervious to all techniques.

The attack from the thirteen Elders hadn’t harmed him in the slightest.

"How is this possible?"

The expressions of the Grand Elder and the others changed drastically, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

That was the full-force attack of all thirteen of them!

Even a mountain would have been shattered to pieces by such an attack.

"What kind of technique is this?"

Gazing at the Great Sun Dharma Body enveloping Ning Jiang, even with the Thirteenth Elder’s vast experience, he had never seen such a bizarre Martial Technique.

Everyone was both shocked and furious. This enemy was too terrifying. He was so young, yet his strength was simply unheard of.

"I originally came only to demand an explanation and had no desire for a massacre. But since you of Pill King Valley have been wrong time and again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Ning Jiang stood in the void. With a stomp of his foot, the air quaked, and his body shot out like an arrow.

"Die."

The ten-foot-tall Great Sun Dharma Body, majestic and grand, arrived before an Elder and slapped down with its palm—simple and brutal.

"No!"

This Eighth Elder let out a furious roar, crossing his arms above his head to block.

However, even someone on the Innate List couldn’t block Ning Jiang’s Great Sun Glazed Golden Body, let alone a mere ordinary Innate Limit expert.

SPLAT—

As if smashing a watermelon, the Innate Limit Strong Person was fragile and couldn’t withstand a single blow before Ning Jiang. His body instantly exploded into a mist of blood.

"How dare you!"

The Grand Elder and the others were enraged. The thirteen of them had been in Pill King Valley for many years and were as close as brothers. But now, Ning Jiang had killed one of them with a single slap.

"You are the ones courting death."

Ning Jiang’s voice was indifferent, devoid of any emotion. In the blink of an eye, his body appeared before another Elder, and he threw a punch.

BOOM.

His punch was powerful enough to kill an expert on the Innate List. Without any suspense, another Elder Level figure’s body turned into a mist of blood, leaving no corpse behind.

"Kill him!"

Two Innate Limit Strong People charged at Ning Jiang from behind. They brandished their weapons, tearing through the air with a strike that seemed capable of splitting the heavens and the earth as they hacked down at the Great Sun Dharma Body.

BANG.

With a loud bang, the golden light of the Great Sun Dharma Body trembled but remained almost completely unscathed.

Meanwhile, the webbing between the thumbs and forefingers of the two experts split open, and their weapons were nearly sent flying from the impact.

"Fall back, quickly!"

Failing to injure Ning Jiang with one strike, the two were horrified and rapidly retreated, putting dozens of yards between them in the blink of an eye.

But they were fast, and Ning Jiang was faster.

"Die."

He struck out with both fists. A brilliant golden light, like a small sun, slammed into their chests.

Two more mists of blood!

The entire crowd was in shock!

Innate Limit experts, Pill King Valley Elders—before Ning Jiang, they were nothing, unable to withstand a single blow.

"Terrifying! This boy is simply terrifying!"

Many Martial Artists broke out in a cold sweat as they watched, their voices trembling. The ones being instantly killed were Innate Limit Strong People!

Every Innate Limit expert could establish a First-Class Noble House and enjoy endless glory and wealth. They all held extremely high status, yet before Ning Jiang, they were slaughtered like chickens.

In just four breaths, four Innate Limit experts were annihilated, leaving not even bones behind.

Too strong!

"You beast! It’s you or me!"

Seeing four of his brethren killed, the Grand Elder’s eyes were practically splitting with rage.

He let out a long cry, his entire body’s Innate Gang Yuan surging. The Blood Qi within him rumbled like the beating of a War Drum.

Instantly, his muscles bulged, and his body suddenly grew a full size larger. As his qi circulated, his diaphragm filled, and his skin billowed out.

The meridians and muscles on his body writhed like coiling pythons, seeming to come alive.

It was as if he were not made of flesh and blood, but was a form composed of countless great pythons.

"Ape King’s Mountain-Swaying Fist!"

The Grand Elder roared, his spine swaying like a dragon. Power surged up from his feet, traveled through every bone, and finally converged in his fist as he threw the punch.

The blow was monstrously powerful, like a world-conquering Demon Ape roaring as it shook a Divine Mountain.

"Great Sun Demon Slaying Fist."

Ning Jiang’s entire body erupted with Qi Force as he met the attack head-on with his own fist.

Meeting hard with hard, and unyielding with unyielding.

He had absolute confidence in a physical confrontation.

DONG!

The immense sound of the collision could pierce metal and shatter stone. Countless Alchemists clapped their hands over their ears, their faces contorted in pain.

WHOOSH—

A hurricane powerful enough to uproot towering trees erupted from between their fists, sweeping across the land.

"Pfft."

The Grand Elder’s body was sent flying backward, spitting blood. In that direct clash, one of his arms had been completely pulverized.

Watching the Grand Elder fly backward, the crowd let out a collective, sharp intake of breath.

A Top Level figure ranked seventh on the Innate List couldn’t even block a single punch from Ning Jiang. Who else could possibly be his opponent?

"How could this happen? How could this be?"

Wei Tianchen’s gaze was vacant as he stared in disbelief at the man in the sky who looked like a Divine Demon.

He had never imagined that kidnapping Wei Yanran would lead to such terrifying consequences. Ning Jiang’s strength was absolutely world-shocking!

"Just what kind of monster is this man that Shuangying likes?"

Mrs. Yan was dumbfounded.

"Not even Young Master Soaring Dragon is that strong, is he?"

In the hearts of many, they had already begun to compare Ning Jiang to Young Master Soaring Dragon.

Young Master Soaring Dragon was the number one expert of the younger generation, ranked fifth on the Innate List, and incredibly famous. But in many people’s eyes, not even he could possibly be as strong as Ning Jiang.

"Such strength... could he be at the Innate Invincibility realm, which surpasses the Innate Limit?"

An Alchemy Grandmaster said in horror.

Above the Innate Limit, there is another level: Innate Invincibility.

But for most people, that level was too distant, completely untouchable.

"It shouldn’t be. According to legend, once one steps into Innate Invincibility, their Essence, Qi, and Spirit reach Perfection and will transform into three flowers. Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is the true sign of Innate Invincibility."

An Alchemy Grandmaster said. However, even if Ning Jiang hadn’t stepped into Innate Invincibility, he couldn’t be far from it, right?

"Are you ready to meet your death?"

In the air, Ning Jiang’s gaze was ice-cold as it swept over the remaining Elders.

The bodies of all the Elders trembled. They were afraid!

Facing this youth who could kill them with a wave of his hand, they felt fear for the first time.

"He’s too strong! There’s no hope of winning! They say Young Master Soaring Dragon has a chance to reach Innate Invincibility, but I think he’s the one who’s most likely!"

At this moment, even the Grand Elder’s face was pale, his legs trembling.

Ape King’s Mountain-Swaying Fist was his strongest attack. He was confident he could exchange several blows even with Young Master Soaring Dragon, yet he couldn’t block a single punch from Ning Jiang.

"Die."

Ning Jiang lunged forward, his killing intent surging to the heavens. Just as he had said, if Lu Changsheng didn’t show himself, he would keep killing until he did.

"Stop!"

A sharp cry came from the distance.

"BOOM!"

Accompanying it was the sound of thunder that echoed through the Nine Heavens, as if a thunderbolt had just struck.

But the sky was clear for a thousand miles. Where did the thunder come from?

Everyone looked over. They saw no thunderbolt, only a blue Ancient Sword that shot toward Ning Jiang, emitting the sound of thunder.

"A little interesting."

Ning Jiang’s gaze focused. With the cry of a sword, the Red Lotus Sword was unsheathed for the first time in Pill King Valley!

"Slash!"

Facing the blue Ancient Sword that broke through the air with a thunderous sound, Ning Jiang just gave a light shout and swung the Red Lotus Sword.

A red Sword Aura blossomed, seeming to split the entire space in two.

CLANG.

Sparks flew as the blue Ancient Sword was knocked backward, landing in the hand of a White Eyebrow Daoist.

"Young friend, why must you be so aggressive?"

This White Eyebrow Daoist was dressed in white robes. Though his hair and beard were white, his complexion was ruddy, and his skin was as delicate as a baby’s. He had the white hair of a crane but the face of a youth—the very picture of an immortal.

"The Protector of Pill King Valley, White Eyebrow Sword Sect!"

Seeing this old man, countless people showed looks of reverence.

The newcomer was the number one expert of Pill King Valley!

White Eyebrow Sword Sect, fourth on the Innate List, and the head of the Four Great Sword Sects of Cyan Cloud Country!

In all of Cyan Cloud Country, the only person who could surpass him in the Sword Dao was Sword King Chu Bai.

"Did I hear that correctly just now? That was... Sword Qi Thunder Sound, wasn’t it!"

An Alchemy Grandmaster exclaimed in a shocked voice.

Sword Qi Thunder Sound. This was an extremely high Realm in the Sword Dao. When a sword reached the ultimate speed, a speed equal to that of a thunderbolt, it could produce this sound.

Until now, the only person in Cyan Cloud Country to have reached this achievement was Sword King Chu Bai.

But just now, the sword strike from White Eyebrow Sword Sect had clearly produced that thunderous sound!

"There’s no mistake. It’s definitely Sword Qi Thunder Sound."

Nearby, another Alchemy Grandmaster confirmed his words.

"White Eyebrow Sword Sect hasn’t taken action in over seven years, right? To think that in these seven years, he has advanced even further, stepping into the realm of Sword Qi Thunder Sound, catching up to the Sword King Chu Bai of ten years ago."

Countless people were shaken. Could it be that Cyan Cloud Country was about to see the rise of a second Sword King?

"Congratulations, Protector! After today, your name will surely shake the world and be comparable to Sword King Chu Bai’s."

The Grand Elder and the others all offered their congratulations. They knew that White Eyebrow Sword Sect had been in seclusion, which was why he hadn’t acted sooner. They never expected that as soon as he emerged, he would stun everyone by having already stepped into the realm of Sword Qi Thunder Sound.

After hearing their compliments, White Eyebrow Sword Sect shook his head. "Sword King Chu Bai sealed his sword ten years ago. I doubt he has been standing still all this time. He is likely trying to step into the realm of Sword Control by Force—where with one sword in hand, one can command the great power of heaven and earth. Of course, whether he has succeeded is another matter. After today, I will go challenge Sword King Chu Bai and witness his Shocking Sword Dao!"

The Grand Elder and the others were startled. They knew that White Eyebrow Sword Sect had always aimed to surpass Chu Bai.

"I originally thought Pill King Valley might truly be defeated today, but I never expected White Eyebrow Sword Sect to have achieved Sword Qi Thunder Sound. It seems Pill King Valley will be the victor in this battle after all."

At this, many people in the crowd sighed with emotion.
