357 Consecutive Slaying of a Prodigy (2)
“However, isn’t it unreasonable if we simply brush past each other?” Then, Xiu Ming suppressed all his previous emotions and looked at Jiang Ming with clarity in his eyes. He put his palms together and said, “Fellow cultivator, please!”
Jiang Ming smiled. A layer of blood Qi surrounded his body, ready to attack at any time.
Xiu Ming’s body also burst out with boundless spiritual light.
In the void, a large palm surrounded by golden light shot down. It was vaguely accompanied by the chanting of scriptures. It affected Jiang Ming’s mental state and tried to get him to kneel down in obedience.
“What ignorance!” Jiang Ming’s eyes were calm as he punched forward. His surging blood Qi made a thunderous explosion in the air.
After exchanging almost ten blows, Xiu Ming coughed up blood and his body was covered in cracks, like a piece of porcelain that was about to shatter.
Jiang Ming was holding back. Otherwise, the monk would have been killed immediately in three punches.
Jiang Ming leisurely walked past Xiu Ming, whose eyes were filled with shock. He smiled faintly and said, “I have never slacked on the path of martial arts. Monk, you have to continue working hard!”
After saying that, he continued to move forward and disappeared into the fog.
“It’s better to beat an amazing genius than a dozen weaklings!”
As he approached the core of the Saint Cultivation Platform, Jiang Ming felt the spiritual light and cultivation runes around his body. He took a deep breath in satisfaction, as if he had absorbed countless cultivation runes into his body, which cleansed and tempered his body.
“Even my cultivation has increased a little.”
Now, as Jiang Ming walked, his body was surrounded by a visible fog of light. The spiritual light of the great cultivation was faintly visible in it, like an immortal spirit walking in the mortal world.
“Hmm?”
In front of him, a figure stood still. Spiritual light surged around him as he stared at Jiang Ming with determination.
“Fellow cultivator, you are indeed extraordinary to be able to reach this point. However, this is where your journey ends. Your cultivation runes should belong to me!”
It was a tall man with a violent aura. His red hair danced in the wind like flames.
“The prodigies stand out no matter what. The battle this time is really intense!”
Jiang Ming looked at the person in front of him and could not help but sigh. He had not heard of this person before. However, his strength was on par with the prodigies from the major forces. Otherwise, he would not have been able to come here and condense such a dense spiritual light.
“He must have observed the other prodigies after entering the Saint Cultivation Platform. That’s why he chose this direction. He probably thought that there were no threats and wanted to get rich by blocking the way.” Jiang Ming’s heart moved slightly, and he could guess the thoughts of the person opposite him.
However, it was obvious that he had found the wrong person to mess with.
A great battle broke out, and the result was obvious. The other party was killed mercilessly.
Strands of multicolored light surrounded Jiang Ming’s body. The spiritual light gathered into chunks, as if there were scriptures circulating around him, making him look even more extraordinary.
Those who could reach this place were at least the top core disciples of their respective sects. They could be said to be invincible in the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was usually very difficult to match their strength.
However, on the Saint Cultivation Platform today, there could only be one champion. It could be foreseen that this competition would be extremely cruel.
“Zhang Shan?”
Suddenly, a surprised voice sounded not far away.
A figure surrounded by dense spiritual light could be vaguely seen. She was incredibly beautiful. She walked toward Jiang Ming.
“Huai Mei, we meet again!”
Jiang Ming smiled faintly.
“How did you…” Huai Mei looked at Jiang Ming’s body in shock and disbelief. There was an extremely dense spiritual light around him.
How had he managed to get this far?
“I was very lucky. I didn’t meet any prodigies! Therefore, coming here was just a matter of pulling weeds!”
Jiang Ming grinned.
“You!” Huai Mei was infuriated. Even she had to go through two bloody battles to come here.
“Where did you come from?” she suddenly asked.
Jiang Ming pointed behind him.
“No wonder. You’re very lucky!” Huai Mei’s gaze was conflicted, and she was somewhat speechless. “The Saint Cultivation Platform is huge. The core disciples of the major sects each occupy an area. However, they can’t guard all of it. There aren’t many prodigies in that direction. However, after reaching this place, everyone you meet next will be extremely dangerous. I advise you not to advance any further, or you might encounter a deadly tribulation!” Huai Mei shook her head.
“Huai Mei, how can you look down on him? Since this cultivator was able to reach this place, he should go forth!”
A laugh suddenly came from afar. A figure slowly walked out from the fog of light. Spiritual light surrounded him. When the spiritual light gathered and scattered, it seemed to turn into a mysterious spiritual eye that was scanning the surroundings.
“Zhang Shan. Back then, you said that you wanted to be the champion. Now that you accept my challenge, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
A young man stood with his hands behind his back and stared at Jiang Ming with a faint smile. The silver-gray line between his eyebrows moved, and it was filled with a terrifying and dangerous aura.
It was the Divine Eye Sect’s peerless prodigy, Liu Xuantong.
“Wow, Liu Xuantong, you’re really something else. You really want to pick on a poor individual cultivator. How shameless!”
In another direction, another figure surrounded by dense spiritual light appeared.
“Bai Xuanruo. If you want to challenge me, I can accept it!” Liu Xuantong did not even look at the man as he spoke in a cold voice.
“Haha, you’re an overwhelming prodigy. I would never dare challenge you.” Bai Xuanruo, who came from the Cangming Grotto-Heaven, had a slender figure. He smiled calmly and said, “I just feel that a prodigy like you has a noble status. How can you bully an individual cultivator? Zhang Shan, why don’t I fight you? I am not the strongest cultivator. This will just be a test of our strength!”
“Wait! Why don’t you spar with me? I see that your aura is sharp, and it seems that you have embarked on the path of swordsmanship. I’ve practiced swordsmanship for a few days. However, I’m not very proficient. Why don’t we spar? Perhaps it’ll help me learn a few things!”
Another person spoke with a smile on his face.
“I’m afraid that all of you have ill intentions.” Huai Mei’s eyes were ice-cold as she laughed.
Jiang Ming also understood.
They all wanted an easy kill.
After all, the spiritual light around Jiang Ming was extremely dense. Whoever could defeat him and obtain his spiritual light would definitely have an advantage in the upcoming battle.
“Hmm… interesting.”
Jiang Ming stretched lazily and turned his head to look at Bai Xuanruo from the Cangming Grotto-Heaven.
Bai Xuanruo’s eyes revealed a hint of joy.
Then, Jiang Ming said indifferently, “You’re weak, and your cultivation technique is flawed. I don’t want to spar with trash like you. You should go home and continue practicing.”
Bai Xuanruo was furious, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He stared at Jiang Ming coldly. “You won’t leave this place alive!”
Jiang Ming could not be bothered with him. He turned to the other person who spoke. “It’s none of my business that you’re not proficient in swordsmanship. I’m not your friend. I don’t have time to help you!”
That person was also infuriated.
Finally, Jiang Ming turned to Liu Xuantong and said, “I have indeed killed many people from the Divine Eye Sect. The sect has committed many evil deeds. It does not matter if I killed those people. If there’s a chance, I might even personally come and destroy the whole sect! I heard that you’re the future master of the Divine Eye Sect. Then, I’ll start with you.” Jiang Ming waved his hand. “Come on. If you survive three of my punches, I’ll spare your life today!”
