403: I'll refine you!

The Grand Marshal certainly valued Jiang Ning.

But deep down, he still felt that with his current cultivation, he was more than capable of handling Jiang Ning.

Yet in the first round, Jiang Ning had already crippled one of his arms.

The Grand Marshal's Nascent Soul Dharma Idol put away the military book and drew the long sword from its waist.

The Grand Marshal's face was gloomy.

The wound on his arm was still aching; the power from the Spatial Turbulence was constantly "scorching" him.

"Jiang Ning, this Tiance Sword has accompanied me in battle since I joined the army. To end you with it, you will not die in vain."

As he spoke, the Grand Marshal pulled a long sword from his Storage Ring.

It was almost identical to the sword in the hand of his Nascent Soul Dharma Idol.

Jiang Ning was constantly monitoring the progress bar in his mind.

The jade infant fruit truly lived up to its reputation as a Cultivator's "second Nascent Soul." After entering Jiang Ning's stomach, its power quickly dissolved and wandered toward his Qi Sea.

As a result, when the jade infant fruit saw the intact Nascent Soul in Jiang Ning's Qi Sea, it paused in surprise.

"Little brother, you're fine?"

Seeing this, Jiang Ning's Nascent Soul erupted with suction force.

The suction swept up the energy of the jade infant fruit.

At the same time, the ancestral tree fruit was continuously repairing and widening the Meridians that were overloaded by the jade infant fruit.

The progress bar was also growing rapidly!

"Still not enough!"

Jiang Ning estimated that at the current rate of growth, it would still take a while to reach Nascent Soul Perfection.

Before him, the Grand Marshal was swinging his sword toward him.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath.

A step forward!

After this step, Jiang Ning vanished.

The simple yet powerful long sword slashed down right in front of Jiang Ning.

The Grand Marshal held the long sword.

"I heard that you had already comprehended Space Law while at the Early Nascent Soul Stage. You are truly talented, but unfortunately, such talent makes you an enemy of my Tiance Military Prefecture.

If only you were in the Tiance Military Prefecture, I would definitely appoint you as Marshal Xuan Hu.

I would even leave my own position to you in the future!"

The Grand Marshal's words were filled with appreciation for talent, but his attacks were becoming even more ferocious.

He held the Tiance Sword upright and ran the index and middle fingers of his other hand along the blade.

The Tiance Sword instantly rose and hovered in front of the Grand Marshal.

The rotating Tiance Sword split into eight long swords, which then attacked Jiang Ning.

Sword light came from all directions.

Jiang Ning, who had just displaced himself to dodge the first sword, now had to face nine long swords at once.

Jiang Ning frowned tightly.

He carefully watched the trajectory of each long sword, trying to find a pattern to dodge them.

But the Tiance Sword was fast to the extreme.

Jiang Ning's massive Nascent Soul Dharma Idol directly pulled Jiang Ning into its embrace.

The Tiance Sword struck Jiang Ning's Nascent Soul Dharma Idol, sword after sword!

Pain!

Not physical pain, but the pain of the shock!

Jiang Ning felt that his Nascent Soul Dharma Idol was about to reach its limit!

As the ninth sword fell, Jiang Ning's Nascent Soul Dharma Idol shattered with a boom.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out.

Jiang Ning wiped the corner of his mouth.

The Nascent Soul Dharma Idol was broken, and he had suffered heavy injuries, but fortunately, he had held on.

The Grand Marshal let out an "Eh," seemingly puzzled that Jiang Ning could withstand this killing move.

He casually waved out a sword Qi.

This sword Qi was much simpler than the first sword, but in Jiang Ning's current state, he could not withstand this sword either.

A step forward.

Jiang Ning struggled to survive within the limited space of the Restriction.

The Grand Marshal smiled, "Let's see how much power of Space Law you can use now."

He casually swung another sword.

Jiang Ning dodged again.

This was the scene Jiang Ning wanted.

What he needed most was time.

Gradually, the Grand Marshal discovered something.

He had thought that as he continuously used sword Qi to exhaust Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning would gradually become fatigued, eventually run out of Spiritual Qi, and be hacked to pieces by his sword Qi.

But sword after sword, not only did Jiang Ning not show signs of exhaustion.

Instead, he dodged more calmly each time.

The Grand Marshal frowned.

He didn't know what method Jiang Ning was using.

But now, he absolutely could not delay any longer.

The Grand Marshal smiled.

"At the end of your rope."

He threw the long sword.

The Tiance Sword evolved into hundreds and thousands of swords.

The sword rain shrouded this world.

It was as if soldiers were roaring and cavalry were neighing; the killing intent had reached its extreme!

Jiang Ning's expression changed.

The Grand Marshal was not planning to exhaust him slowly anymore.

The situation reversed again.

He looked at the progress bar; it was still a little short of reaching the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm.

But this short distance seemed to have become an uncrossable chasm.

"Hurry up!"

Jiang Ning was anxious inside.

But more urgent than the progress bar was the killing move he had to face from the Grand Marshal.

Countless long swords, with the force of crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, turned into a rain of swords, ready to strike!

"I can't dodge it at all!"

Jiang Ning thought about it and realized helplessly that he could not take this hit.

"Then I'll take the initiative!"

Jiang Ning gritted his teeth.

He charged toward the Grand Marshal.

Jiang Ning, whose Nascent Soul Dharma Idol was shattered, appeared very small in front of the massive Grand Marshal's Dharma Idol.

The Grand Marshal laughed.

"Commendable courage."

Just after speaking, the Grand Marshal's head felt a trance.

He was actually stunned.

How is this possible!

Jiang Ning only felt his Divine Soul power being instantly drained.

This was his trump card.

Soul Piercing Needle!

Back in the Lingxu Domain, he had obtained so much Divine Soul power. At that time, he had said he wanted to obtain a Divine Soul attack Martial Skill to use as a trump card and a killing move.

Now, it had instead become a life-saving Martial Skill.

The Grand Marshal only felt his head was extremely painful.

It felt as if a needle had been stuck into his soul, causing a stinging pain.

He knew this must have been Jiang Ning's doing, but he didn't know what kind of Martial Skill this was.

"Targeting... the Divine Soul..."

It was during this moment of distraction that the Grand Marshal failed to control the sword rain, and it was released prematurely.

The chaotic rain of swords gave Jiang Ning an opportunity.

This was the effect he wanted.

Jiang Ning concentrated his mind and found a gap for survival amidst the streams of sword Qi.

"Right here."

Jiang Ning used his Space power and successfully dodged this wave of sword rain.

He laughed out loud.

It wasn't because he had dodged the sword rain, but because his progress bar had finally reached Nascent Soul Perfection.

At this moment, the Grand Marshal also recovered his senses.

He sneered.

"I really cannot let you live. You actually have power that targets the Divine Soul."

"That's not all."

Jiang Ning smiled.

The Spiritual Qi within his Qi Sea erupted violently.

"I also have the power to kill you."

Jiang Ning took out the jade void cauldron.

"Refining you!"

Jiang Ning's Alchemy techniques were now superb, and he wasn't afraid at all that the Grand Marshal could escape from it.

If the Grand Marshal hadn't split off a Clone, Jiang Ning might not have been able to do anything to him now.

But the Grand Marshal had happened to split off a body.

This was Heaven's will.

Hidden in the darkness was Karma.

The Grand Marshal frowned.

He had never heard of such a technique that could cause strength to suddenly skyrocket so much.

Regardless, it was not the time to stay long.

The Grand Marshal rushed toward one side.

Space shattered.

Jiang Ning held the jade void cauldron and smiled:

"If I call your name, do you dare to answer?"
