Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 357: Chapter 353: Fighting Young Master Wei

”Insult me, and you die!”

As the words fell, a chilling killing intent instantly pressed down on Ning Jiang.

In the distance, the expressions of several Martial Artists changed drastically.

Even though the killing intent wasn’t aimed at them, it still made them feel as if they were suffocating. The sheer power of Young Master Wei’s aura was something they had never witnessed before!

”Insult you?”

Ning Jiang said with a mocking smile, ”You think me wanting to take you as a Sword Guard is an insult, but you wanting to take me as a Sword Guard is not?”

”Naturally,” Young Master Wei said coldly. ”What makes you think you’re qualified to be compared to me? Are you worthy?”

This was his confidence. As a member of the Celestial Sword Sect who had also comprehended Sword Intent, what did a mere Ning Jiang amount to?

With his status in the Celestial Sword Sect, he could stand on equal footing even with the Heaven-Reaching Realm experts of Top Grade Sects.

”HAHAHAHA.”

Ning Jiang roared with laughter, his voice filled with arrogance and disdain. ”You were right about one thing—you and I certainly can’t be compared. But you were wrong about something else. The one who isn’t worthy is you! In my presence, what are you?”

The sound boomed out like a clap of thunder, reaching the ears of every Martial Artist in all directions.

The faces of many Martial Artists changed.

Ning Jiang’s words were far too bold, too arrogant.

After all, the person he was facing had a terrifying background!

Given Young Master Wei’s status, his wrath was not something just anyone could endure.

But Ning Jiang couldn’t care less about the crowd’s reaction.

As a Legendary Venerable, he had every right to say such things.

One hundred thousand years ago, the number of people who wished to follow him could have circled the Six Eastern Provinces several times over.

Among them, even Celestial Martial Realm Kings could only stand at the back of the line.

”It seems you are determined to seek your own death. Very well. If you wish to die, I will grant your wish.”

Young Master Wei sighed and shook his head. As he spoke, he gave a casual wave of his sleeve.

SHICK!

With that wave, a terrifyingly brilliant Sword Aura materialized. Infused with Sword Intent, the aura became incredibly condensed—powerful enough to cleave mountains and sunder rivers.

’So strong.’

The crowd’s expression changed drastically.

If the power from that mere wave of a sleeve were directed at them, it would undoubtedly cause terrifying casualties.

’God-Seizing Realm cultivation.’

Ning Jiang’s eyes narrowed, having discerned the man’s cultivation.

His cultivation had yet to reach the Immortal Realm, but his actual power was even more terrifying than that.

After all, he was someone who had comprehended Sword Intent, a Top Level genius within the Celestial Sword Sect. For him, fighting above his realm was as easy as eating and drinking.

As someone who had fought an Immortal Realm expert, Ning Jiang was certain that the Elder from the Extreme Heaven Sect would be no match for Young Master Wei.

”Break.”

Ning Jiang threw a punch that seemed slow but was deceptively fast.

RUMBLE.

Thunderbolts surged forth. This single punch was the epitome of Power, fully unleashing the might of the Nine Tribulations Celestial Thunder Body.

”BANG.”

The Sword Aura shattered.

”Oh? Able to take one of my moves. Not bad.”

Young Master Wei offered a word of praise as his second attack immediately followed.

This time, he joined his fingers like a sword and swiped lightly through the air before him.

Instantly, a Sword Aura appeared in front of him. It was incredibly condensed, only about three feet long, yet it was far sharper than the attack from his sleeve just moments ago.

WHOOSH!

The Sword Aura shot forward, the air tearing with a sound like paper being sliced.

Ning Jiang’s expression was calm. He too swiped his fingers through the air, condensing thunderbolts into a Thunder Sword that shot out to meet the attack.

”Hmph.”

Seeing his second move blocked by Ning Jiang, Young Master Wei snorted lightly. He curled his fingers and flicked them forward forcefully.

Several streams of Sword Qi immediately shot out, piercing through everything with extreme sharpness.

”Petty tricks.”

Just like him, Ning Jiang also flicked his fingers, shooting out swords of his own.

Before everyone’s eyes, they saw terrifying streams of Sword Qi colliding and annihilating one another.

”Such incredible strength!”

”Who on earth is this person? Is this his true strength?”

Everyone stared at Ning Jiang in astonishment, especially the Three Great Swords.

When they had fought Ning Jiang before, they had competed in Sword Technique. Their loss had been due to his superior Sword Technique.

But now, what Ning Jiang was displaying was tyrannical cultivation, a level of cultivation powerful enough to rival the Immortal Realm.

Even a single one of the Sword Qi streams he produced with a flick of his finger could injure them.

”Good, good. It seems you’re not all arrogant talk; you do have some skill. Then how about this move?”

Young Master Wei brought his hands together, his palms three inches apart. Within that three-inch gap, sharp Sword Qi began to materialize.

One stream, two, three... ten.

”Go.”

The ten streams of Sword Qi weren’t large at first, but after they were unleashed, they abruptly expanded tenfold.

Ning Jiang was unconcerned. His hand, like a sword, chopped down swiftly.

In an instant, he struck ten times, perfectly countering and annihilating the ten Sword Auras.

”Sky-Splitting Sword.”

Young Master Wei straightened his index and middle fingers, holding them together like a blade, and jabbed toward Ning Jiang.

”SHICK!”

A brilliant Sword Aura shot out, instantly splitting the air, which parted to either side like water.

The Sky-Splitting Sword was a Martial Technique. Among the thousands of Sword Techniques in the Celestial Sword Sect, it ranked within the top one hundred, boasting considerable power.

This technique was actually meant to be executed with a real sword.

However, as a Top Level genius who had comprehended Sword Intent, Young Master Wei could unleash this move even without one.

To him, any part of his body could become a sword.

”Four Extremes One Sword.”

Ning Jiang swung his palm, executing the final move of the Four Seasons Sword Technique—Spring Birth, Summer Flourish, Autumn Withered, and Winter’s End. Although it was a Spirit Realm Sword Technique, when the four swords combined, its power increased by more than tenfold.

BANG!

As the two Sword Auras collided, a massive roar echoed.

Sharp Sword Qi swept out in all directions like a tempest.

”Not good.”

The onlookers’ expressions changed drastically as their clothes were sliced open and their skin cut, drawing blood from the residual Sword Qi.

”Fall back, quickly!”

Alarmed, the crowd hastily retreated.

Even the Three Great Swords withdrew several miles away. They were only at the God-Seizing Realm, whereas the combat power of the two fighters was comparable to the Immortal Realm. If they were caught in the crossfire, they would die without a burial place.

”Rain, come.”

Young Master Wei stood his ground. At his command, the threads of rain in the sky transformed into a Sword Rain that blotted out the heavens, a dense barrage shooting toward Ning Jiang.

This was the terror of Sword Intent.

Sword Intent could be infused into raindrops, granting each one deadly, cutting power.

”A futile effort.”

Ning Jiang didn’t even bother to block. He simply stood there as explosive Thunderbolts erupted from his body, shrouding him in a three-foot aura.

All the swords of rain landed on the Thunderbolts, managing to penetrate an inch at most, but they couldn’t harm the Ning Jiang within.

After his Nine Tribulations Celestial Thunder Body reached Great Success, how could mere raindrops possibly harm him?

”You are worthy of me drawing my sword.”

CLANG.

A torrent of Sword Qi surged into the sky!
