Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 297: Chapter 293: Three Flowers Dao, Fighting Three Earth Martial Realm Experts

RUMBLE!

Lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky as rain poured down in torrents.

People looked up, only to see every single raindrop falling perfectly straight down, without the slightest deviation.

Moments ago, a fierce gale had been howling and raging, fanning the downpour and driving the stinging rain.

But now, all the wind had vanished.

DRIP... DROP... DRIP... DROP...

Only the sound of raindrops striking the ground remained, and the sudden stillness felt utterly bizarre.

"How could such a strong wind just disappear? Not even an Earth Martial Realm expert could do that, right?!"

Countless people cried out in shock. They had never heard of such a thing.

The wind was a part of the Power of Heaven and Earth. How could it be controlled by human hands?

It wasn’t just them; even Lady Blood Crow and the others felt their hearts stir. They stared intently at Ning Jiang, knowing that this change was undoubtedly his doing.

"The Sect Leader’s methods are truly awe-inspiring."

Although Yue Wenfu and the other two already knew this was the Heaven and Earth Wind and Cloud Array Ning Jiang had prepared, they were still shaken when it activated.

For the raging winds to vanish in an instant was simply astonishing.

Such a feat was like that of a god, incomprehensible to mortal minds.

"Wind, come."

Like a deity of heaven and earth, Ning Jiang beckoned with his hand. Instantly, hurricanes materialized in the air, roaring like Wind Dragons.

CRACK.

Nearby mountains on the ground began to tremble and shatter under the terrifying force of the wind.

HISS!

The pupils of the onlookers constricted, their faces pale with horror. They scrambled to get away from the terrifying hurricanes.

Those with weaker Cultivation were especially terrified, their faces ashen. They had never imagined that the wind could become so dreadful.

’The power of this Array is no weaker than the Myriad Swords Return to the Sect from before. It might even be stronger,’ the crowd judged.

’But this Array is still not quite enough to deal with three Earth Martial Realm experts.’

After Wang Qingcang’s fall, the three Earth Martial Realm experts were clearly not foolish enough to let Ning Jiang pick them off one by one.

Besides, the philosophy of their Evil Spirit Sect was to win by any means necessary. They would have no qualms about ganging up on Ning Jiang to kill him.

"Brat, if you think you can use this Array to deal with the three of us, you are sorely mistaken," Lady Blood Crow said coldly.

"You seem to have misunderstood. This Array wasn’t meant to kill you."

Ning Jiang crossed his hands, forming a Dharma Seal, and roared, "Four poles of heaven and earth, eight wilds and six unions, lock!"

WHOOSH.

Instantly, countless hurricanes pressed in from all directions, forming walls of wind that trapped everyone from the Evil Spirit Sect inside.

"Now, none of you can escape."

Having done this, a cold smile slowly formed on Ning Jiang’s lips.

The greatest strength of the Heaven and Earth Wind and Cloud Array wasn’t its killing power, but its Defense Power. With the strength of these wind walls, even an Earth Martial Realm expert attacking with all their might would need more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to break through.

And for Ning Jiang, that amount of time was more than enough!

"Hmph? What an arrogant brat. From the sound of it, you plan to keep all of us here? You overestimate yourself," Lady Blood Crow laughed in fury.

The other spectating Martial Artists were also perplexed. These wind walls could only trap people, not kill them. What was the point?

’Does he have another trump card?’

Someone thought of a startling possibility.

Immediately, all eyes were fixed on Ning Jiang, unblinking.

Ning Jiang’s sleeves fluttered in the windless space. Though he stood alone, his aura was no weaker than that of the tens of thousands from the Evil Spirit Sect he faced.

"Three Flowers Dao."

His lips moved, slowly uttering three words.

In that instant, the earth shook violently, and the mountain peaks swayed.

"This is...!"

The few Earth Martial Realm experts present were the first to notice something. Their gazes shot toward the center of the Star Sword Sect. They could feel a terrifying Energy slowly awakening deep underground.

BOOM.

Following a world-shaking roar, the earth split open. A white beam of light shot into the sky, engulfing Ning Jiang’s figure.

"Such dense Spiritual Qi!" Cries of astonishment were endless.

Three Flowers Dao. This Array gathered all the Energy from one Upper Grade Spirit Vein, three Middle Grade Spirit Veins, and nine Low Grade Spirit Veins.

This Technique was created by Ning Jiang.

It was an Array he had racked his brains to create a hundred thousand years ago, back when he was in the Celestial Martial Realm, in order to deal with a Saint.

That time, he had exhausted nine hundred and ninety-nine Top Grade Spirit Veins at once, allowing his Cultivation to soar for a short period, and he slew a powerful enemy of the Saint Realm in one fell swoop.

The "Dao" in Three Flowers Dao meant borrowing, and what it borrowed was Power.

At this moment, as boundless Spiritual Qi surged into his body, Ning Jiang’s entire aura began to climb rapidly.

From the Divinity Transformation Realm to the Divine Travel Realm, the God-Seizing Realm, and then the Immortal Realm, it took only five short breaths.

And after reaching the Immortal Realm, it was far from over.

His aura continued to rise madly!

Ten breaths later, under the stunned gazes of countless onlookers, Ning Jiang’s aura finally settled at the Earth Martial Realm!

The entire scene fell deathly silent.

No one could speak.

Even the Earth Martial Realm experts from the Withered Blade Sect, Earth Gate, and Beast Taming Sect were profoundly shaken.

"That’s the aura of the Earth Martial Realm. There’s no mistake."

"So, was this his greatest trump card?"

The pillar of Spiritual Qi slowly faded, revealing Ning Jiang’s body.

Above his head floated three pristine white flowers, emitting a rain of light. They were wondrous beyond compare. Once the Energy of these three flowers was depleted, his Cultivation would return to its original Realm.

"Good. Very good. You continue to surprise me. But even if you’ve raised your Cultivation to the Earth Martial Realm, do you really think you can fight three of us at once?"

A cold glint flashed in Lady Blood Crow’s eyes. "Attack!"

BOOM!

Instantly, two tyrannical auras shot into the sky.

It was the two Earth Martial Realm experts by Lady Blood Crow’s side. One was a middle-aged man with a thick, curly beard and a scar across his eye. His aura was like that of a Demon or a devil; his powerful presence even warped the air around him, creating an atmosphere of blood and carnage, as if caught in a storm.

The other was short and scrawny, with ugly, fierce features. His body radiated an extremely dense, bloody aura, marking him as a man who had slaughtered countless people.

"Domain, imprison."

The moment they acted, they both unleashed their Domain Power, trying to trap Ning Jiang.

’Even if he used the Array Power to temporarily raise his Cultivation to the Earth Martial Realm, he can’t possibly be familiar with how to use this Realm’s Power...’

Lady Blood Crow murmured, but her words died in her throat the next moment.

"Counter."

Ning Jiang also unleashed his Domain Power, clashing with theirs. It was as if an invisible millstone was grinding, and the entire space rumbled with a muffled, oppressive sound.

’How strange.’

Lady Blood Crow couldn’t understand. When an ordinary Martial Artist first entered the Earth Martial Realm, it took them months to master Domain Power.

After her own breakthrough, it had taken her two months to master it. Yet Ning Jiang’s use of his Domain seemed utterly practiced.

’Enough. Delays invite trouble. I’ll join the fight as well,’ Lady Blood Crow thought as she took a step forward.
