Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 298: Chapter 294: Thunderbolt Fist, Suppression

CRACK.

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a tree trunk, split the night sky.

BOOM!

Ning Jiang stretched his limbs. His body moved like a roaming dragon as he planted his feet and threw a punch.

The immense Fist Force behind his punch shattered the curtain of rain, blasting open a channel thousands of feet long.

"This man clearly relied on Array Power to reach the Earth Martial Realm, yet his control over Domain Power is so masterful."

The Earth Martial Realm experts from the three Upper Grade Sects watched Ning Jiang in astonishment.

Ning Jiang was compressing and condensing his Domain Power, infusing it into his fists. Thus, his every move held the power to sunder mountains and split the earth.

To utilize Domain Power to such a degree would require at least a decade of practice.

Most people only knew how to release their Domain outward like a sphere to lock down an area; they couldn’t retract it at will like Ning Jiang.

The two Earth Martial Realm experts from the Evil Spirit Sect had joined forces against Ning Jiang, yet they were the ones being suppressed right from the start.

"Lady Blood Crow is making her move."

At this, all eyes turned to her.

Lady Blood Crow had a hunched figure and sparse, wispy hair. Gripping a staff, she took a single step forward.

"Endless Blood Ravens."

She slammed her staff into the void. A crimson tide erupted, transforming into countless scarlet crows that blotted out the sky as they swarmed toward Ning Jiang.

"Petty parlor tricks. I will show you the true way to use Domain Power."

Ning Jiang scoffed. ’As a Legendary Venerable, their use of a Domain is laughably crude in my eyes. They have no real mastery.’

"Sword Rain."

He lifted a slender finger and swiped it through the air. Instantly, the curtain of rain transformed into countless Water Swords. Each sword was three inches long, its blade razor-sharp and gleaming with a cold light. For a moment, the sky looked as if it were filled with tens of thousands of sharp arrows.

He had infused his Domain Power into the rain itself, granting it immense killing potential.

SWOOSH.

At a jab of Ning Jiang’s finger.

Thousands of Water Swords shot forward like a volley of myriad arrows. Each blade started at three inches long, but as it flew, it merged with more rainwater, rapidly growing to five inches and doubling in power.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The countless Water Swords crashed into the sky-blotting flock of blood ravens.

The superiority of Ning Jiang’s Domain control was revealed in that moment. Amidst a chain of explosions, the blood ravens were routed, thoroughly suppressed.

"Evil Spirit Slash!"

At that moment, the other two Earth Martial Realm experts unleashed a Martial Technique in unison.

They formed hand seals, bit their tongues, and spat out a drop of essence blood. The blood rapidly expanded, swelling into two crimson figures.

The two featureless crimson figures exuded a cruel, evil aura. They each brandished a blade and slashed at Ning Jiang’s neck.

This Evil Spirit Slash was a secret technique within the Evil Spirit Sect, one that ordinary disciples had no right to learn.

"Engulf."

Ning Jiang’s expression remained unchanged as he altered his hand sign.

The sky full of Water Swords swirled into a tornado, instantly engulfing both Blood Shadows.

Each Water Sword only weakened the Blood Shadows by a minuscule amount. The effect was subtle, but after thousands of blades passed through them, the Blood Shadows were ground into nothingness.

"This kid is a real handful."

The three Earth Martial Realm experts all frowned. They had used their Martial Techniques, yet they couldn’t even touch Ning Jiang. In contrast, his counter was deceptively simple: he just merged the endless rain with his Domain Power to neutralize their attacks.

"Don’t panic. This borrowed power of his won’t last long."

Lady Blood Crow glanced at the three flowers above Ning Jiang’s head. After that last exchange, one of them had already shrunk by a third.

"It’s more than enough to kill you."

Ning Jiang’s expression was serene. "Now, face another one of my fists."

He planted his feet, his fists moving with the grace of dragons and snakes. He drew several Thunderbolts down from the clouds, channeling them into his fists.

He cultivated Thunder Power to begin with, so the current thunderstorm gave him a decisive environmental advantage.

Of course, if he only had the Cultivation of the Divinity Transformation Realm, trying to draw upon Celestial Thunder Power directly would have only injured him. But now, at the Earth Martial Realm, he had no such concerns.

"Thunderbolt Fist."

This was a Fist Technique that could only be unleashed by those in the Earth Martial Realm. As he threw the punch, the sky flashed brilliantly. Its power was several times greater than before, shaking the very heavens and earth and threatening to upend the sun and moon.

RUMBLE.

A terrifying Fist Force imbued with Celestial Thunder Power smashed down.

"Damn it! This brat actually cultivates Thunder Power. Together, now!"

Lady Blood Crow and the other two’s expressions turned grim. The Supreme Yang and Firm nature of Thunder Power was the bane of their Evil Spirit Sect.

"Block it."

The three stood together, combining their power to create a defensive barrier.

"Break!"

Ning Jiang became one with his punch, transforming into a Thunder Dragon dancing through the Nine Heavens. Riding the clouds, he descended from above and struck with peerless might.

BANG.

A flash of lightning exploded as potent energy erupted, shaking the very world.

A brilliant flash of electricity radiated in all directions from the point of impact. It was followed by scattering blasts of energy and the light of the fist, and finally, an invisible shockwave.

A vast wave of energy swept across thousands of feet.

Apart from the three Earth Martial Realm experts who managed to stand their ground, everyone else—even those at the Immortal Realm—was forced back, unable to maintain their footing.

People looked on in shock.

At the epicenter of the collision, an area thousands of feet wide was completely devoid of rain. The trio’s combined defense had been shattered by Ning Jiang’s single punch, sending them stumbling backward.

"Three Earth Martial Realm experts... are actually losing?"

The crowd stared, their eyes wide with disbelief.

"It’s partly because Thunder Power counters them, but it’s also clear this boy’s application of Domain Power is far superior."

"Indeed. His mastery over his Domain is sublime. I am nowhere near his level."

The three Earth Martial Realm Sect Leaders conferred, shocked by the combat prowess Ning Jiang had displayed.

If Domain Power could be divided into ten parts, Ning Jiang was unleashing all ten parts to perfection. The others, in contrast, could only manage six or seven, a far cry from his level.

"If this goes on, won’t the Evil Spirit Sect lose?"

Countless people murmured amongst themselves. No one had imagined that three Earth Martial Realm experts from the Evil Spirit Sect would be at a disadvantage against the lone Ning Jiang.

Meanwhile, Ning Jiang only grew stronger as the battle raged on.

He unleashed his Thunderbolt Fist, continuously drawing Celestial Thunder Power into his fists. Each punch sent out waves of lightning, rendering him impervious to all techniques. Like a titan commanding the thunder, he was utterly invincible.

Lady Blood Crow and the other two Earth Martial Realm experts were steadily beaten back, unable to find any purchase.

"Is he going to become a legend today by killing three Earth Martial Realm experts all by himself?"

"You’re being naive. This isn’t even close to Lady Blood Crow’s true power. She’s killed an Earth Martial expert before!"

A Martial Artist from Lei Province said in a tone of reverence.

Just then, Lady Blood Crow let out a piercing shriek. "That’s enough, you brat! Now I’ll show you what true terror feels like!"
