Chapter 314: Chapter 39 The Terror of Superior Martial Arts

Above the valley.

“Death comes–”

A burly man suddenly leaped from behind a rock, shouting loudly, and his figure, like a fierce tiger, pounced toward Jiang Ning.

Clang–

A sword’s hum suddenly rang in Jiang Ning’s ears.

A flash of sword light.

The one who made the move was Xie Xiaojiu.

The next moment.

Xie Xiaojiu’s figure flew backward, and her long sword flew out of her hand, shooting straight toward the trunk of a nearby tree.

“Sir, Seventh Grade Great Success!”

“Do not confront him directly!”

“Sir, retreat quickly!”

Xie Xiaojiu spoke with a look of great terror.

Facing this bare-handed burly man.

With just a single encounter, she was defeated.

The brief combat let her feel the terror of the burly man.

Meanwhile.

“Death–”

The burly man then slapped Xie Xiaojiu away and charged toward Jiang Ning with furious eyes.

At this moment, his entire body suddenly burst forth with a dreadful power and murderous aura.

For years, he had stained his hands with countless lives, with many perishing by his hands.

At this moment, the lives he had taken seemed to transform into a substantial murderous aura, pressing directly towards Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning’s brow slightly furrowed, his heart secretly startled.

In his eyes, it seemed as though black flames surrounded the burly man’s body.

The intangible murderous aura was like a tangible substance, already affecting his perception.

At this moment.

The burly man, seeing his own reflection in Jiang Ning’s pupils, surrounded by black flames, couldn’t help but reveal a chilling smile on his face.

Murderous aura solidified, oppressing the enemy on a spiritual level, this was a cultivation technique he relied on for survival.

Thanks to this technique, he had picked up countless lives on the battlefield.

His joining the Black Lotus Sect and the Black Mountain Cavalry was also because of this technique.

To solidify murderous aura, one must kill.

Where is it easiest to kill?

Only on the battlefield!

Just then.

Jiang Ning’s gaze sharpened, and his eyes instantly regained clarity.

The demonic-like image of the burly man reflected in his pupils also instantly reverted to being unremarkable.

“Impossible!” Seeing Jiang Ning’s eyes regain clarity, the burly man’s complexion changed, his face showing an incredulous expression.

Such a turn of events also caused the burly man’s momentum to suddenly wane, no longer possessing his prior imposing aura.

“There is nothing impossible!” Jiang Ning spoke indifferently.

He then slapped out toward the burly man with a single palm.

Water and Fire True Strength mingled in his hand.

Boom–

With a muffled sound in the void, the burly man instantly retreated as if electrified.

The next moment.

His face instantly changed, his eyes revealing extreme fear.

“Impossible!!!”

These words had just fallen.

The burly man then saw his right arm begin to disintegrate inch by inch.

Flesh and tissue continuously dissolved.

In an instant.

His right arm turned into complete nothingness.

Moreover, he could feel two parallel, intermingling invisible forces within his body.

This force continuously spread throughout his body.

Wherever it passed, the flesh and bones inside his body were directly ground into nothingness.

He looked up in fear, then his eyes gradually dimmed and became tranquil.

Two breaths later.

Thud–

The two-meter-three-tall burly man’s body fell straight back and heavily onto the ground.

If someone were to examine his body now, they would find that the organs inside the burly man’s body had all turned into powder.

Only a shell was left behind.

…

Seeing this scene before him, Jiang Ning was slightly stunned.

“Is it this simple?” he couldn’t help but be enormously surprised.

The brief exchange also let him measure the level of the burly man.

Martial Arts Seventh Grade, muscles like a dragon.

This level of martial arts was already above him.

Yet in a single encounter, he was killed with one move.

“Is this the power of Water and Fire True Strength, a superior martial art?”

Jiang Ning felt a surprising joy in his heart.

This was his first time employing the superior martial art, Water and Fire True Strength against an enemy.

The effect had also completely exceeded his expectations.

Just a single simple clash had allowed him to kill the burly man, who was slightly above him in martial arts grade.

On the other hand.

Xie Xiaojiu had just stabilized herself and upon seeing the scene ahead, widened her eyes in disbelief.

Having had a combat encounter with the burly man, she was very aware of his terror.

His body was like cast iron.

A single palm could send her sword flying without any harm, indicating an incredibly terrifying physical body.

The force contained within also made her feel that there was no chance to win.

Martial Arts Seventh Grade Great Success.

This level was like muscles made of dragons.

This was not a level she, being Eighth Grade, could contend with.

Such strength, even placed in the former Luoshui County, would rank in the top ten.

Even the likes of Wang Jin and similar figures might not be a match for this burly man at his peak.

And now.

This seemingly unbeatable existence in her eyes was already a lifeless corpse lying on the ground.

Xie Xiaojiu then looked at Jiang Ning, her gaze incredibly complex at this moment.

Jiang Ning’s performance had completely baffled her.

Such military exploits, in Xie Xiaojiu’s view, even Martial Arts Sixth Grade powerhouse couldn’t achieve.

“What exactly is… Sir’s strength?”

This question popped up in Xie Xiaojiu’s mind.

…

Meanwhile.

Jiang Ning looked over everything in the valley, then drew his bow again and shot arrows.

Boom–

Boom–

Boom–

Arrows flew like rainbows.

Transforming into instruments of death.

Every arrow shot inevitably claimed a life.

This batch of Black Mountain Army had lost its backbone completely and lacked the ability to resist, their hearts completely despaired.
