Chapter 444: Chapter 96: Absorbing New Authority, Post-war Gains! (Vote for monthly tickets!!)
Above the layer of ice.
Guardian Xing’s unease grew stronger and stronger.
"No!"
"I must retreat first!"
Having made his decision, he immediately prepared to leave.
At that moment,
underwater, Jiang Ning’s face lit up with joy.
[Discovered 5 points of Divinity, discovered two Authorities, absorb?]
[Absorb!]
Jiang Ning murmured internally.
The next moment,
he felt the black finger in his hand that wriggled like maggots was stripped of the marvelous substance on it in an instant.
As those marvelous substances were stripped away, the black finger instantly lost its mystique and turned into a piece of meat that seemed dried by the wind.
[Divinity]: 5
[Authority]: Flesh Regeneration (96.13% deficient), Favored of Divine Descendants (fragment, severely damaged.)
[Favored of Divine Descendants]: Flesh Blessing, able to enhance the Favored’s physical progression, with this one can control the Favored (Note: This Authority is severely damaged, effect is weak, still need to collect from other Gods.)
Jiang Ning glanced at his own panel, slightly startled, then closed it.
Because he sensed that Guardian Xing above the ice was retreating at high speed.
Having slain the Wind God Envoy, how could he let that Guardian Xing of the God Worship Sect escape.
One must know,
inside the Inspection Office, a Sixth Grade Martial Artist of the God Worship Sect was worth fifty thousand Contribution Points, equivalent to fifty thousand taels of silver.
As for Fifth Grade Martial Artists, not even mentioned, obviously deemed unnecessary.
After all, Hong Minghu, the strongest in Luoshui County, was only at the Fifth Grade Internal Strength Realm.
For those below Hong Minghu, there was no need to mention them.
Fifth Grade strong people weren’t like cabbages on the streets, not so easily killed.
But an unmentioned reward did not mean there was no reward.
Killing a Sixth Grade Bone Forging Realm Martial Artist from the God Worship Sect was a great merit.
Not to mention a Fifth Grade Martial Artist from the God Worship Sect, especially one who was a protector or an Honorable God.
Afterwards,
Jiang Ning secured the Wind God Envoy’s color-changing cloak that could blend into the environment.
In his eyes, this item was one of the most valuable things on both protectors.
It must be worth a fortune!
...
Above the layer of ice.
Guardian Xing moved quickly, at an extreme speed.
Like a gust of wind sweeping across the snow.
The snowflakes raised by the fierce wind were unable to catch up with his figure.
Suddenly,
Crack—
Crack—
He abruptly heard the sound of the ice cracking beneath his feet.
The noise came from directly below him, then rapidly spread to the front, back, left, and right.
"What’s this..."
He couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, eyes widening as he saw the snow beneath his feet, seeing the thick snow rising continuously, fractures spreading on the compacted snow blocks, breaking them into pieces.
In the next moment,
Boom—
The surging lake water erupted from beneath his feet.
In an instant, it engulfed him. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Through the water, he suddenly saw Jiang Ning standing with his sword.
He also saw the floating mass of black blood and flesh remnants beside Jiang Ning.
"That is..."
At this moment, Guardian Xing’s heart shook violently.
He now understood where his earlier unease had come from.
As his thoughts flowed,
"No match for him!"
"Flee!!!"
He instantly made his decision.
The next moment,
he turned to leave, intending to break through the water to escape.
However, as soon as he moved, he felt a tremendous shock.
The lake water that had just risen was already engulfing him.
Now, as he moved, he felt the terror of the lake water.
It seemed to turn into a muddy swamp, tightly restricting his movements.
With every motion of his body, he felt immense drag, his speed instantly reduced by seventy to eighty percent.
Walking through the water now was no faster than a normal person swimming.
"What kind of method is this!!!" He was incredulously shocked.
On the other side,
Jiang Ning saw Guardian Xing’s movements and observed for a moment.
A smile immediately appeared on his face.
Water was his home turf.
This was also his first attempt to use the technique of water control in the water.
With the exploit of his water control technique,
the lake water rose several yards, pulling Guardian Xing into the depths.
At this moment, the lake became his domain.
Under the cover of the water, every move of the opponent was greatly restricted, the speed sharply reduced.
Only five or six out of ten parts of strength could be utilized at most.
Watching the sluggish speed of Guardian Xing, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.
Just then,
Boom—
Guardian Xing suddenly erupted with Inner Breath, the confining lake water was dispersed, and his speed surged.
Like a fish darting through water, he could traverse nearly ten yards in one breath.
The speed was comparable to a normal person running on land.
"Inner Breath is indeed powerful!" Seeing this, Jiang Ning inwardly exclaimed in surprise.
Afterward,
his thoughts shifted.
The originally still lake water suddenly turned violent.
Water within several hundred meters radius began to swirl rapidly towards the center, its powerful force making even Guardian Xing, who had unleashed his Inner Breath, struggle to move.
The lake water he’d just dispersed in front of him was being shoved by the water behind it.
The high-speed swirling water, striking his body, continuously pushed him backward.
Behind him, it now seemed like an abyssal vortex, constantly devouring the lake waters.
"What kind of technique is this!!!" Guardian Xing was immediately filled with despair.
He knew very well, if Jiang Ning could swiftly kill the Wind God Envoy transformed into a Six-Armed Divine Descendant in water, then he stood no chance.
In the Divine Descendant state,
the most significant boost in strength is seen in the Six-Armed Divine Descendant transformed by the Honorable God protector.
But his Divine Descendant state didn’t enhance his strength nearly as much as the Six-Armed Divine Descendant.
With strength enhancement inferior to the Six-Armed Divine Descendant,
and normally both being evenly matched in strength,
the Wind God Envoy could not stand against Jiang Ning,
so how could he possibly defeat Jiang Ning.
Especially after witnessing such a mystical technique, he was even surer of this fact.
On the other side.
