Chapter 34: Grasping the Realm of Comprehension
Drop Rain One Sword, this ultimate move had instantly killed Constable Zhang Tong, but it did not cause any harm to Xuanming Master.
Even in gradual succession, the power of this sword had reached its peak.
"As expected from a Great Grandmaster!" Jiang Ming sighed but did not pursue. Instead, he stopped and focused most of his attention on analyzing the Ice Intent.
He seemed to have already touched upon the threshold.
"Such a genius is rare in this world indeed." Xuanming Master finally showed some concern, "This old man appreciates talent and doesn't want to kill you. How about you submit to this old man? I will show you the charm of the Martial Arts Pinnacle."
"You think the realm of a Great Grandmaster can stop me?" Jiang Ming scoffed, "And you want to subdue me, where does your confidence come from?"
"Geniuses are all proud, and they all have a stubborn backbone. But once the backbone bends or breaks, it becomes rotten. So be it, such a character like you, if I don't kill, I can't sleep in peace." Xuanming Master stepped forward again, his momentum rising even higher.
A bone-chilling cold gushed all over his body, and a fog shrouded his head.
He was even more powerful than before.
This scene astonished the surrounding spectators.
"Such a strong Great Grandmaster and such a powerful Jiang Ming!" The black-clothed woman exclaimed, "Brother Lu, what is his background?"
"I don't know!" Lu Yuan shook his head.
He couldn't just say that he had come from a small mountain village. How could someone from a small mountain village grow to such a level? That would be nonsense.
In fact, he was also curious about Jiang Ming's true background: "Anyway, after today, Jiang Ming will have a place in this world."
"It's not just a place in the world, but I'm afraid..." The black-clothed woman paused and narrowed her eyes, "If he can't resist, shall we join forces?"
"You?" Lu Yuan looked surprised, "That's a Great Grandmaster! Dare you?"
"The value of Brother Jiang is not comparable to that of a Great Grandmaster. Besides, Xuanming Master is an old wretch with a vicious nature, can't imagine what crazy things he would do now that he is in the world again. If there's a chance, naturally, we should eliminate him first."
"It's really like you. It's just a pity... if you were a man, maybe..."
Lu Yuan didn't finish his sentence.
The black-clothed woman didn't respond either.
However, they had both secretly mobilized their Qi, ready to take action at any time.
Jiang Ming was already battling Xuanming Master once again.
Unable to withstand the clash of power, the long sword shattered, and he immediately abandoned it.
He unleashed the Dragon-subduing Fist, domineering and powerful, but it was of no avail against his opponent.
"Illusion Palm!"
Suddenly, as Xuanming Master launched his palm, cold winds howled and the mist enveloped, making his palm shadows appear both real and illusory, indistinguishable.
"Using the cold to create fog, the fog becomes an illusion, and the palm technique merges into the fog, making it difficult to distinguish between real and fake." Jiang Ming instantly understood the essence of his opponent's palm technique.
Seeing through it didn't necessarily mean he could defend.
Xuanming Master seemed to have turned into a ghostly figure, weaving through the dense fog, and although it didn't affect Jiang Ming much, his opponent was too fast.
It was as if he had become a part of the cold fog.
Boom, boom, boom...
Jiang Ming was passively defending, and while enduring his opponent's bombardment, the cold invaded his body, making his movements slightly stiff. Fortunately, his blood Qi was as vigorous as the ocean, and his Qi was as profound as the abyss. Although he was being suppressed, he could still withstand it.
The spectators couldn't help but tremble.
The pervasive coldness, like heavenly might, and the power that burst forth made them all fearful.
Especially Bai Yunfei, who was even more frightened.
If his opponent were to really retaliate against Zhen Wu Sect, who could resist besides his master?
He waved towards the distance, and immediately someone rushed over. He quickly ordered, "Send the message back that Xuanming Master wants to take revenge on the sect, and he has reached the Great Grandmaster Realm."
"Yes!" The young man responded and retreated.
"Not only is it a disaster for your Zhen Wu Sect, but it's also a disaster for the Tianxia Sects. If a Great Grandmaster kills indiscriminately regardless of his status..." Tang Xiaotian couldn't help but grin as he spoke.
He Qianshan and the others all furrowed their brows deeply.
On the other side.
The battle between Chong Erliang and Situ Ming was also extremely intense. The two seemed to have intentionally avoided this area, and the place where they were fighting had unknowingly moved to a nearby forest.
Great trees were destroyed, and dust filled the sky.
Here.
Jiang Ming dealt with Xuanming Master's attack at close range.
"Why does his Qi seem endless?" He didn't understand.
He had fought several battles in a row and faced himself, so he must have gone all out, but his power didn't seem to be depleted at all. It was completely against common sense and unimaginable.
He also realized that it might be impossible to take down his opponent with his current means.
He changed his body art and turned his palm into a finger.
"Illusion Yin Finger!"
"Jueyin Finger!"
"Destroying Yin Finger!"
"Severing Yin Finger!"
Each finger was extremely terrifying, aimed directly at Jiang Ming's heart, throat, temples, and other vital points. Combined with unparalleled body art, it was as if he had turned into several people.
Jiang Ming frowned, and a golden light suddenly appeared, forming nine layers around him.
Not stopping there, before the golden light of the Ninth Layer of the Golden Bell Shield could circulate, it merged into one and barely managed to block Xuanming Master's first three fingers.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Ming punched him and sent him flying back.
"The nine layers of Golden Bell Shield merge into one, you have cultivated to unprecedented heights, you demon!" Xuanming Master was truly shocked, "And your fists, I broke through your protective Gang Qi, but your skin is so hard, and your bones are so strong, comparable to Chong Wanjin back then. At such a young age, how did you cultivate?"
He felt an inexplicable sense of horror in his heart.
"Die!" He leaped into the air, pressed his palm down, and released a torrent of cold air. The surrounding fog also gathered, transforming into a giant palm movement.
This was his ultimate move, Xuanming Giant Hand Seal, pushing his power to the extreme.
Jiang Ming glanced at the white mark on his fist and his pupils shrank. He stepped on the ground and soared into the sky, with circles of Gang Qi wrapped around his fist.
"Dragon Soaring from the Abyss, Fighting for the Nine Heavens!"
This was a killing move from the Dragon-subduing Fist, condensing his spirit, will, and Qi into an unparalleled strike.
The wind and clouds surged, and the sound of his fist whistled.
Jiang Ming shattered the huge palm with one punch, but he was also knocked down to the ground, crashing into a deep pit. The splattered mud was like arrows, piercing several spectators in the distance.
The power released from the collision made Bai Yunfei and the others pale in shock and retreat once again.
"Is this the power of a Great Grandmaster? Terrifying, too terrifying."
"Isn't it Jiang Ming who should be terrifying? He's only at the Master-level Realm, yet he can contend with a Great Grandmaster, one who has lived for nearly a hundred years."
That sentence shocked the people around them once again.
They looked at Jiang Ming in the deep pit with inexplicable anticipation.
"I can't believe I didn't kill you!" Xuanming Master hadn't even landed when he saw Jiang Ming standing up, flipping his palm and pressing it down again, "Die!"
"Want to kill me? You have no chance now, no, you never had any chance from the start." Jiang Ming looked up at the falling Xuanming Master and the palm print emitting the ultimate chill, revealing a smile, "I also have to thank you. If it weren't for you, it would have taken me another two or three months to take this step."
His body began to emanate a peculiar aura.
It grew thicker and thicker, like dark clouds sweeping over and heavy rain pouring down from the sky.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in Jiang Ming's mind.
