Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

The cave was not completely dark; mottled sunlight poured through the crevices of the fake mountain, providing ample illumination to the space that was around five or six meters in diameter.

Jiang Ning's gaze quickly locked onto the dark and profound entrance on the ground.

Bai Luoyu was also squeezing in from behind at this moment.

In the next moment.

His gaze instantly tightened.

He looked toward the token ahead.

He raised his hand and made a capturing gesture, and the token flew into his hand.

Wiping off the bloodstains on it, Bai Luoyu's expression immediately changed.

"It's Lin Xiao!!"

Then, his eyes instantly became fierce, full of killing intent.

Even though he had already prepared himself mentally, knowing that his previous subordinates had most likely encountered misfortune.

But when his speculation turned out to be true, his heart was still filled with mixed emotions.

They were his people, his subordinates.

Now, they had perished here.

Bai Luoyu couldn't help but clench his fist tightly, his nails deeply embedding into his flesh.

"Brother Bai, wait for me here!"

Jiang Ning said.

"No, I will go down with Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu shook his head, his gaze resolute.

After the words fell.

A flash of cold light appeared in his hand as a long sword, shining with cold light, materialized in his grip.

"Alright!" Seeing Bai Luoyu's expression, Jiang Ning nodded.

"You all wait outside!" Bai Luoyu said, turning back to address the followers outside as Jiang Ning first entered the passageway, and then hurried to follow.

...

On the other side.

Inside the basement.

"They're here!" said the woman dressed in a green bustier and long skirt, revealing her slender waist.

"Lin, should you take action or should I?" asked the Fire God Envoy.

"Stop asking who should do it; we must act together, and not give him any chance to send messages!" the woman said.

"Lin is right!" The Fire God Envoy looked relaxed.

During these days, their strength had greatly surpassed what it had been through sacrifices.

Especially in terms of bodily strength, which had become incomparable to before.

Thud, thud, thud—

At this moment, a string of footsteps came from above.

The three exchanged glances and instantly waved a hand, extinguishing the burning torches in the basement.

In an instant.

The entire basement was plunged into darkness.

Only the faint crimson light emanating from the swirling blood pool in the center appeared eerie.

...

In the pitch-black passageway.

"Brother Jiang, slow down, be careful of traps around!"

Bai Luoyu watched Jiang Ning's usual strides and couldn't help but remind him.

From entering the fake mountain until now, he noticed Jiang Ning's lack of caution, prompting his reminder.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning replied.

"No need to worry!"

After the words fell.

He continued as usual.

Relying on the moisture dispersing in the underground passage's air, he was thoroughly familiar with its layout.

He also knew that the narrow, downward passage didn't have any so-called traps around it.

From this, he also understood how confident the people below were.

But even as those below were confident, he was equally full of confidence.

He had encountered the God Worship Sect before—not that it was unfamiliar to him.

Back then, he could be fearless in Luoshui County against the sect; what more now?

Now, he was no longer on the same level compared to before.

In addition, the Vajra Immortal Body had completed its Break Limit, its defense virtually impenetrable.

The layering of Dragon Elephant Power ensured his flesh was unbreakable.

He continued downward.

"Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu called out again.

"Alas!" Then he lightly sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

He understood that Jiang Ning, now young and invincible, had yet to face setbacks in life.

Coupled with youthful vigor, it was normal for him not to heed his advice.

Back in his youth when he first gained prominence, he too had experienced similar days.

It was only later, when he encountered tougher, younger opponents.

Repeated blows and setbacks made him realize there were always stronger people beyond one's self.

"I just hope Brother Jiang doesn't face too harsh setbacks in the future!"

Watching Jiang Ning's retreating figure, Bai Luoyu murmured to himself.

Then hurriedly followed him.

As they continued, the faint light from above nearly vanished.

Even with Bai Luoyu's Fifth Grade Martial Arts Cultivation, enhanced ears and eyes, he could barely make out the ground.

Could only faintly view Jiang Ning's silhouette.

Step by step following behind Jiang Ning, he couldn't help but feel a bit fearful.

Unable to see, fear inevitably brewed in the heart.

...

"They're here!!"

The lips of the woman dressed in green bustier and long skirt moved slightly.

In the dark basement, the other two Divine Environs nodded slightly.

"Attack!!" as Jiang Ning emerged from the passageway.

A loud shout echoed in his ear.

The next moment.

The three attacked simultaneously.

As the Divine Envoy of the Blood and Flesh God, they received the God's gift.

Their physical bodies are their strongest attribute.

Relying on their physical bodies, they already have confidence to tremble with a Fourth Grade Martial Arts Strongman.

In critical moments, without fearing mental corruption, transforming into a Six-Armed Divine Descendant, they can suppress Fourth Grade Martial Artists.

In this small place of Dongling County, they didn't consider anyone stronger than them.

The three attacked with all their might, aiming to deliver a fatal blow to Bai Luoyu, preventing him from sending any communication and kill him here.

In that flash of insight.

They saw the face of the approaching person.

Not Bai Luoyu?!

The three felt puzzled.

But their momentum didn't stop, instead it became more intense.

"Brother Jiang!!"

Bai Luoyu sensed the commotion, immediately spoke, but before his voice fell, the three's attack had already reached him.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged.

Ambushed alone at this spot, he had long known.

The next moment.

He raised his fist.

Boom!

All force broke through the air.

The powerful punch force enhanced speed, instantly compressing the air.

Then it exploded, producing a deafening roar.

Afterward.

Boom——

The woman was instantly blasted into a mist of blood.

In such a state, no matter how extraordinary the regenerative ability was, it was a death sentence.

The other two, seeing this, had their pupils suddenly contract violently.

They never expected the intruder to be so overwhelmingly strong.

With one punch, he blasted the Lin Divine Envoy, who was not weaker than them, into a blood mist.

This level of combat power instantly brought to mind two words.

Grandmaster!!!

With this thought, the two felt despair.

But they also understood.

At this point, retreat was impossible, only by fighting with all their might could there be a chance of survival.

In an instant.

The two completely grasped the situation.

Then, their attack didn't cease, instead, it increased by three points.

Simultaneously, their divine bodies started to expand, using the power bestowed by the gods.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning again launched two punches.

Striking later but arriving first.

Boom——

Boom——

Just as their bodies began to change, they were punched into a mist of blood.

Various changes completed in the flash of a moment.

Jiang Ning then swept his gaze.

In the pitch-black basement, it was no difference from broad daylight for him.

The next moment.

He waved his hand.

Invisible Sword Intent pierced the air.

Whizz——

The air seemed to be sliced open.

The God Worship Sect followers were instantly dismembered by the Sword Intent that broke the air.

Within less than one breath, everything had already settled.

Jiang Ning moved his mind, and fire rose from void.

Oil lamps and torches on the walls immediately illuminated brightly.

Bai Luoyu squinted his eyes slightly, looking at everything before him with a bewildered expression.

Moments before.

The surroundings were pitch black, he couldn't see clearly, only barely outline the contours around him.

But from the commotion, he knew someone who had been ambushed had attacked Jiang Ning.

Now the surroundings were bright, those attackers were nowhere to be found.

Only a few scattered blood mists told him one truth.

Then, he looked at the sect followers dismembered by Jiang Ning's Sword Intent, feeling even more shocked.

He couldn't identify the method by which they died.

But the way they died showed they were dismembered by a sharp blade.

Seeing all this.

Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning's back, feeling his own insignificance.

He discovered that he couldn't even fathom Jiang Ning's strength.

Recalling Jiang Ning's earlier words.

Due to coincidentally being in Baisha County, he could quickly appear before him after he sent a message.

Earlier, he believed this excuse.

Because aside from this reason, he couldn't think of how Jiang Ning could appear before him so swiftly.

But now he doubted Jiang Ning's statement earlier.

At this time.

"Brother Bai, retreat!"

Jiang Ning spoke, his gaze fixed on the churning and gradually boiling blood pool ahead.
