Chapter 911
Above the capital.
A long black and white rainbow appeared, just moments before it was in the sky, and in the next instant it appeared above the capital and landed in the Lishui Palace.
Inside the palace, the guards and maids saw the black and white rainbow piercing the sky, and when they saw it disappear into the central island of the palace, they immediately withdrew their gaze.
They knew that the black and white rainbow light was the palace master's signature mode of transportation, indicating that the prince had returned from outside.
"How arrogant!" In a royal palace in the capital, a prince looked at the rainbow light that streaked across the sky and exclaimed.
"He achieved success at a young age, is now the second strongest martial artist in the world, and is a rising star in the court, with merits in supporting the emperor!" Someone next to the prince chimed in.
the other side.
Jiang Ning landed on the island's waterside pavilion, gazing at the shimmering lake in front of him, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The conversation they had just had in the Martial Saint Cave Heaven lingered in his mind.
The physical body is limitless, the spirit is unrestrained!
That treasure lies hidden deep within the human body, yet it cannot be expressed in words.
Once it's spoken, it can never be found again.
Although he did not fully understand the profound meaning behind the Martial Saint's words, he had already clarified his direction.
By constantly tempering his physical body and elevating his spirit, one day he will be able to reach that level through his own efforts.
Just then, he looked into the distance at the only bridge leading to the island.
On the bridge, a middle-aged man in a blue robe with a thin face walked quickly toward him.
Noticing Jiang Ning's gaze, the middle-aged man quickened his pace and moved like a gust of wind.
Jiang Ning also remembered this person.
He was the palace steward he met on his first day at the Lishui Palace, whose name was Chen An.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
After a few breaths, Chen An arrived in front of Jiang Ning and bowed respectfully to him.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, His Majesty has issued an imperial edict summoning you to the palace. He has important matters to discuss with you!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded, not surprised at all, because Lü Yi had already told him about this before.
"Tell them I will attend tomorrow's court assembly!" Jiang Ning said after a moment's thought.
"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Chen An said respectfully.
He then bowed again to bid farewell to Jiang Ning before leaving the central island of the imperial palace.
the other side.
Outside the imperial palace.
A middle-aged man's presence revived from the silence. He slowly raised his head and looked towards the direction of the central island of the palace.
Through the layers of obscuring objects, his gaze fell upon Jiang Ning on the central waterside pavilion.
"He's finally back! It seems that waiting for him here was the right decision!" The middle-aged man slowly stood up.
This person was a man named Duan Tianya who came from a blessed land.
at the same time.
Jiang Ning was just about to sit cross-legged, preparing to practice the Lingtai Cave Illumination True Self Method to further strengthen his spiritual power.
Suddenly, his mind jolted, and an inexplicable sense of foreboding surged up from the depths of his heart.
His pupils contracted slightly.
My eyes instinctively looked in one direction.
His gaze passed over the high wall and over the lush greenery, and he saw a pair of eyes hidden in the greenery, staring at him like a venomous snake.
Who is this person?
A thought arose in his mind.
Just then.
Duan Tianya's pupils dilated when he saw Jiang Ning's gaze.
He knew instantly that Jiang Ning had spotted him and seen him.
"Such keen perception!!" He was greatly shocked.
He came on a mission, and he carried with him a concealing jade talisman bestowed by an immortal, as well as the accumulation of his years of efforts. In addition, he also carried a small teleportation talisman with him on this mission.
The Concealing Breath Jade Talisman and the Minor Teleportation Talisman were the foundation of his confidence for this mission.
Now, with this concealing jade talisman bestowed by the immortal, Jiang Ning was able to instantly discover him from several miles away and discern his location, which he found extremely unbelievable.
"There's no time to dwell on this!" His gaze sharpened, and his mind settled.

With a single movement, the immense potential energy he carried instantly snapped the branches and leaves.
At that moment, countless fallen leaves were swept up by the gale he created, following him like a long dragon, but they were all left far behind by his rapidly moving figure.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning's expression instantly darkened.
"A second-grade Grandmaster dares to attack me; he must have other tricks up his sleeve!"
His inner senses trembled, as if a string was beating within him.
He knew that the source of the killing intent was that second-grade grandmaster.
"I'd like to see what tricks a second-grade Grandmaster can pull off," he thought calmly.
He believed that his current strength was no less than that of Ji Xuan and the others.
Compared to his battle with Ji Xuan that day, his strength has improved significantly and is now incomparable.
With such strength, who in this world, among all the immortals in blessed lands, could possibly be his match?
With that thought flashing through his mind, the middle-aged man rushed into the palace like a whirlwind, leaping over the high walls.
At this moment, the guards in the Lishui Palace noticed Duan Tianya, who had rushed into the palace.
"Who goes there!"
"There are assassins!!"
"."
Clang——
Zheng—
With a loud shout, the guards drew their swords and nocked their arrows.
But how strong is the strength of a Grandmaster?
Duan Tianya moved like a whirlwind, like a torrential rain, his momentum unstoppable, swift as thunder.
Before the guards could even react, they had already swept past the buildings and rushed straight to the central island.
"Protect the prince!"
A guard commander roared, drawing his longbow to its full length, and an arrow shot through the air.
But after the arrow pierced the air, it not only failed to shorten the distance between them and Duan Tianya, but instead continued to widen it.
Duan Tianya glided across the lake.
The powerful kinetic energy stirred up a storm, and the gale instantly swept up the surging waves, rushing towards Jiangning.
On the waterside pavilion, Jiang Ning calmly watched Duan Tianya rushing towards him.
He was right; he was a second-grade Grandmaster.
As for danger.
He wasn't afraid here.
He was the only person at the Lishui Palace; there were no other relatives or friends there.
He has water, a suitable environment to escape from, and many other means to save his life.
With his complete flesh and blood authority and an immortal body, he didn't believe he could capsize in a ditch.
At this moment, a second-grade grandmaster dared to attack him even though he knew his current strength. He knew in his heart that this second-grade grandmaster must have some unknown means to rely on.
Otherwise, no one would be so stupid as to seek their own death.
How could a second-grade Grandmaster be stupid?
Countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.
And at this moment.
Duan Tianya had already skimmed across the vast lake and was only about thirty feet away from Jiangning.
Looking at Jiang Ning on the waterside pavilion, a ruthless glint flashed in Duan Tianya's eyes.
Facing the second most powerful man in the land, the King of Luoshui, he had no confidence whatsoever in confronting him head-on.
Because that is a genuine primordial spirit immortal, the second strongest martial artist in the world today.
Having been a member of this blessed land for over a hundred years, he was acutely aware of what this represented. It was a talent and potential far beyond his reach, a strength he could not contend with.
That's why, after he had no choice but to accept the mission, he spent his savings of many years and, with the help of the mission to be sent to the Lord of the Cave Heaven, he finally obtained a small teleportation talisman to save his life.
With such a life-saving talisman on one's person, one can break through spatial boundaries and instantly appear thousands of miles away with just a thought, escaping to safety.
Without such support, he wouldn't even have the confidence to get close.
"Now!"
Looking at Jiang Ning at this distance, Duan Tianya muttered to himself, then suddenly pulled out two silver-white talismans from his pocket.
The talisman was about the size of a palm, silver-white in color, and engraved with mysterious runes.
"go with!"
Duan Tianya shouted, and the two silver talismans suddenly burst forth with dazzling silver light. With the burst of silver light, a vast and ancient aura awakened from the talismans.
"not good!"
Upon sensing this aura, Jiang Ning's pupils contracted sharply.
Compared to his own reaction, the frantically pounding heartstrings within him were already alerting him to the impending crisis.
The power contained within those two talismans was enough to pose a threat to him.
"It's careless!"
Jiang Ning felt a chill run down his spine, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
With one step, he appeared in front of Duan Tianya.
fast!
This speed is beyond reason, like the speed of traveling through time and space.
Duan Tianya didn't even have time to react before he saw a figure flash by and appear in front of him.
His pupils contracted as he felt the overwhelming aura of death approaching him, leaving him no time to hesitate.
"activation!!"
He roared inwardly.
In an instant.
A spatial fluctuation instantly enveloped him.
Then a talisman appeared in front of Jiang Ning.
The talisman slowly dissipated, and Duan Tianya's figure also slowly disappeared.
All these changes were unfolding in that single instant.
At this moment, the two were less than a foot apart.
But at this moment, Jiang Ning could feel that this space of less than a foot was like a world apart, as if separated by heaven and earth.
Even though they were only inches apart, it felt like they were worlds apart. No matter how far he stretched his hand forward, the distance didn't shrink by even a fraction.
Spatial means!
He paused for a moment.
This is a far more profound spatial technique than anything he has encountered before.
This fluctuation traversed space and led to the distant other side.
He knew in his heart that in less than a moment, the mysterious middle-aged man in front of him would disappear to a great distance.
The distance he could hardly reach.
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.
He then made his choice, his gaze sharpening as he pointed his fingers like a sword and swung them forward.
The void instantly distorted and was then torn apart.
"Impossible!!!" Duan Tianya's pupils dilated, and his face showed disbelief.
The space before him seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force. His body, which was originally enveloped by the small teleportation talisman and was about to dissipate, suddenly froze, as if it had been frozen in place.
laugh--
Blood splattered.
Jiang Ning's closed sword fingers, like an invisible blade, pierced Duan Tianya's chest. Then, the power expanded within his body and instantly spread throughout his entire being.
His body was instantly riddled with holes, and his life force was rapidly fading away!
Duan Tianya's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
The force that shattered his body spread so quickly that he was completely unable to react.
He never imagined that the life-saving talisman bestowed by the immortals, which was said to be able to travel a thousand miles in an instant, would be interfered with by the King of Luoshui in such a rude and direct way. Even a momentary delay was enough to be fatal at this moment.
Jiang Ning withdrew his finger, and Duan Tianya's body slumped down, falling towards the lake below.
He didn't look again, because the sense of crisis he had just felt had not disappeared with Duan Tianya's death, but had already arrived.
His gaze fell upon the two silvery-white orbs in the sky, their silver light shining brightly, like two small silver moons rising slowly on the lake.
An ancient, majestic, and vast aura swept out like a tide, and the entire Lishui Palace seemed to fall into a cold, deathly silence at that moment.
"So it really didn't work!!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself.
He made the first move, intending to kill the person who activated it. Would this cause these two terrifying treasures to lose their controller and fall silent again?
Looking back now, he knows he was overthinking things.
These two terrifying treasures clearly have little to do with the second-grade grandmaster from before.
Just then.
click-
click-
Within the silver light, something seemed to explode, followed by a burst of dazzling and brilliant light.
Under such dazzling silver light, Jiang Ning couldn't help but squint.
In the instant he narrowed his eyes, two burly figures, each over ten feet tall, replaced the talisman and stood in mid-air in front of the waterside pavilion.
They were clad in ancient-style silver armor, engraved with runes that shimmered with a faint silver glow.
The helmet completely covered his face, leaving only a pair of silver eyes devoid of any emotion.
Each of them held a silver halberd, its blade gleaming coldly.
Neither of them breathed or had a heartbeat; only a cold and majestic aura emanated from them.
Silver-armored celestial soldiers!!
Looking at the two extraordinary beings in front of him.
Jiang Ning instantly thought of the four corresponding words, his pupils contracted, and his heart skipped a beat.
He had seen descriptions of the silver-armored heavenly soldiers in ancient books.
In the ancient Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Soldiers were not appointed by immortals who had ascended to become immortals.
Instead, they are treasures that can freely absorb and release the energy of heaven and earth, maintaining their own eternal activity.
Each of the silver-armored celestial soldiers possesses the combat power of a half-step immortal.
These are standard war puppets of the Heavenly Court, guarding the gates of the Heavenly Palace. They are indestructible, fearless of death, and have no thoughts or will; they are pure war machines.
Only those who claim to possess the combat power of a half-step immortal are so powerful because the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers are invincible in the realm of humanity.
But when facing immortals, they are a level below.
"This is troublesome!" he thought to himself.
Just then.
Before he could think it through, the two silver-armored celestial soldiers locked their silver eyes on Jiang Ning at the same time and moved without warning!
This movement was as swift as a silver flash, as if the space itself had been sliced apart.
Without any elaborate gestures, simply with one on the left and one on the right, the two silver halberds transformed into two streaks of silver light that tore through the sky, one piercing his brow and the other sweeping across his waist and abdomen, their movements perfectly coordinated, sealing off all his space to dodge.
"So fast!"
Jiang Ning felt a chill run down his spine and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
In the blink of an eye, his divine power erupted, and his Vajra Indestructible Body was instantly pushed to its limit.
The Dragon-Tiger Golden Core within his body also erupted with a roar, the sounds of dragons and tigers echoing through his blood and bones. A vast expanse of purple energy surged from his dantian, instantly merging with divine power and the power of the Great Sun Divine Body, transforming into a layer of golden-purple interwoven light membrane that protected his entire body.
He did not retreat, but instead clenched his fists and opened them to the left and right, choosing to directly confront the two silver halberds.
He refused to believe that, having come this far, he could not even withstand a single halberd strike when he went all out.
This is also a rare opportunity for him to test the strength of his physical body.
Ultimately, the level of one's strength must be measured by combat.
clang--!!!
clang--!!!
Almost simultaneously, his fists landed precisely on the sides of the two halberds.
The fist slammed heavily into the halberd. (End of Chapter)
