Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 167: Chapter 76: Water within Water, the Earth Treasure where the White Dragon Fish Transforms.

Underwater.

Shi Xiaoyuan, holding the White Dragon Fish as if wielding a long whip, charged forward.

Jiang Ning twisted his wrist and swung his sword.

Five Layers of Power erupted suddenly.

With this strike, the flowing water was briefly divided, as if he had slashed a vacuum underwater.

Hiss—

In front of the extremely sharp long sword, the White Dragon Fish, which still had half a life left, was instantly split in two.

The Sword Force continued, still heading toward Shi Xiaoyuan.

Hiss—

The blade entered the flesh like slicing through soft tofu.

Shi Xiaoyuan’s arm was severed with a sound.

“Roar—”

A deep roar like that of a wild beast suddenly emanated from his mouth.

Dark red blood sprayed from his severed arm, further muddying the surrounding water.

At that moment,

the intense pain from the severed arm also cleared Shi Xiaoyuan’s gaze.

“Something’s wrong!” The first thought that came to him as he regained his senses was this.

Recalling the state of mindlessness he had just experienced, Shi Xiaoyuan immediately thought of a possibility.

Could there be something wrong with the divine gift?

At the same time,

Jiang Ning did not continue his attack.

Instead, he observed, wondering whether the powerful healing effects brought about by Shi Xiaoyuan’s special state could allow his severed arm to regenerate.

On the other side,

Shi Xiaoyuan glanced at Jiang Ning and quickly withdrew.

His heart was filled with fear.

After witnessing the sharpness of the weapon in Jiang Ning’s hand, he knew that in his current state, he stood no chance.

A quick sword combined with a divine weapon that could slice through iron like mud was simply unbeatable.

Especially since the sword he had left behind in the cabin was not with him now, leaving him empty-handed.

Not to mention, the severe injuries and the loss of an arm had greatly diminished his strength.

As Shi Xiaoyuan made his move,

Jiang Ning also moved instantly.

He knew where Shi Xiaoyuan was retreating to—he wanted to return to the cabin.

For in the cabin, a fine sword was left behind during Shi Xiaoyuan’s battle with the White Dragon Fish.

Given Shi Xiaoyuan’s strength and status, that sword was certainly a fine one.

Perhaps it was a sword that could meet his spiritual weapon head-on.

With Shi Xiaoyuan’s current special state, getting hold of the sword might lead to unexpected outcomes.

Thinking of this,

Jiang Ning wasted no more time.

His body moved, swift as the wind.

Even underwater, his speed was extremely fast.

His excellent swimming ability made him seem like a fish entering the water.

In a single breath, Jiang Ning was only half a zhang away from Shi Xiaoyuan.

He swung his sword.

Five Layers of Power erupted, instantly splitting the water in front of him into two, slashing a vacuum-like trace in the deep water.

Hiss—

With this strike, Shi Xiaoyuan’s raised left arm was severed with a sound.

Then another strike.

In the dim lakebed, the sword light was bright, like slicing through the night sky, heading straight for Shi Xiaoyuan’s head.

“Sword Force—” Shi Xiaoyuan, seeing the dazzling strike, revealed an utterly shocked expression in his eyes.

In the next moment,

His head flew off.

His thick neck became like an open faucet, gushing out a large amount of dark red blood.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning slowly sheathed his sword.

“I didn’t expect it to be this easy!” Looking at Shi Xiaoyuan’s body floating underwater, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but feel immensely moved.

Just three strikes had killed a true heavyweight of Luoshui County.

Thinking about it now made him feel somewhat surreal.

Shi Xiaoyuan was, after all, the Gang Leader of the Green Snake Gang.

And the Green Snake Gang, one of the three major gangs in Luoshui County, controlled the shipping.

Luoshui County, with its extensive waterways along the Luoshui River, had developed shipping under the control of the Green Snake Gang, underscoring the gang’s significant power.

To be the Gang Leader of the Green Snake Gang, Shi Xiaoyuan was indeed a real heavyweight in the entire Luoshui County.

Now, he had been slain by Jiang Ning in three easy strikes.

“The advantage of a sharp weapon at this stage is simply too great!” Jiang Ning couldn’t help feeling emotional.

Talking about strength alone, from what Shi Xiaoyuan had shown in his current state.

If it were a barehanded fight, Jiang Ning was not very confident either.

Because from Shi Xiaoyuan’s recent performance alone, his strength was equivalent to three or four thousand pounds.

Coupled with a terrifying recovery ability.

In such a state, ordinary injuries had absolutely no effect on him.

Non-fatal injuries could not break his defenses.

But with a sharp spiritual weapon in hand, it was completely different.

One slash, and Shi Xiaoyuan’s tough-as-iron body was cut through like soft tofu.

“He must have felt incredibly suffocated before he died!” Jiang Ning smiled, his mood greatly uplifted.

Because with Shi Xiaoyuan dead and the White Dragon Fish dead, everything here belonged to himself.

He had just clearly seen a warehouse of iron ore inside the sunken ship.

In this era, iron ore was an extremely precious resource.

Manufacturing weapons and armor couldn’t do without iron ore.

There would be no worries about selling such a resource.

Moreover, having sliced the White Dragon Fish in half, that naturally belonged to him too.

This kind of spirit fish was a great nourishment, enough to further his Martial Arts in a short time.

Afterward,

Jiang Ning grabbed the two halves of the White Dragon Fish and headed towards the cabin.

On the other side,

At a place not far from the sunken ship,

Huang San watched the outline of the sunken ship below with a conflicted expression.

The commotion from that direction had naturally caught his attention.

Including the few exchanges between Shi Xiaoyuan and Jiang Ning, he had also caught bits and pieces.
