Chapter 56 - 56: Innate Grandmaster (Please follow)
J inzhou City.
While everyone was coveting the Barrier Breaking Pill, Liang Sheng merely watched with cold eyes, which allowed him to see the situation more clearly.
At this moment, Jinzhou City was like a barrel of explosives, just missing a fuse. One spark would trigger an instantaneous explosion.
As for the rumors about the Barrier Breaking Pill, he didn’t know if they were true or not, but the fact that a grand drama was about to begin was undeniable.
After all, the Barrier Breaking Pill was a treasure in the martial arts world. Before reaching the innate realm, if one encountered a cultivation bottleneck, a single Barrier Breaking Pill could help them break through the bottleneck smoothly and advance to a higher level.
But no one would use the Barrier Breaking Pill to break through the post-natal realm. Only those who reached the ninth level of the post-natal realm would consider using such a precious pill.
However, the Barrier Breaking Pill was not easily found, as it was not commonly seen in reality. Only the top big families might come across it occasionally.
It was said that this pill was a spoil of war from the Dayan Dynasty’s defeat of the Seven Great Sects and was rewarded to the founding emperor for his merit.
Only the Dayan Dynasty’s royal family knew the method to refine the Barrier Breaking Pill, but the success rate was pathetically low.
Up until now, the Barrier Breaking Pill had become almost a legend. It was unexpected that it appeared in the hands of Prince Ye An of Ping’an in Jinzhou City.
However, Liang Sheng was not interested in the Barrier Breaking Pill at all. After all, what was a cultivation bottleneck to him?
Because of the Talent of Innocent Foolishness, his cultivation was slow, but there were no bottlenecks in all the methods in the world. For him, the Barrier Breaking Pill was practically useless.
That’s why he could remain calm, acting as a quiet spectator, watching as the volatile Jinzhou City was on the verge of a complete explosion.
Tonight, he had planned to go to Yichun Building, but in the end, he chose to head outside the city under the cover of darkness because the grand show had finally begun.
How could he not watch such a grand spectacle?
It seemed that these martial artists didn’t yet know that Abbot Xuankong of Jinshan Temple was a half-step innate expert, did they?
If they knew about this, would they still dare to go to Jinshan Temple?
Outside Jinzhou City.
At this moment, there were martial artists dressed in night-walking clothes and their faces concealed, hurriedly heading forward, diving into the forest and aiming for Jinshan Temple.
They had received news that the Duan Family’s Five Tigers had obtained accurate clues. The Barrier Breaking Pill was in the hands of Prince Ye An of Ping’an, and they were already on their way to Jinshan Temple.
Since the news had been confirmed, as martial artists who had fought on the edge of a knife, they were fearless. Their excitement could hardly be contained, as if they were destined to obtain the Barrier Breaking Pill.
Along the way, they were always wary of other people. After all, they were all competitors, but they did not fight each other.
Now was not the time for internal strife. Temporarily, they were considered an “alliance” since the Dragon Suppression Guards were not easy to deal with.
Fortunately, there were quite a few Postnatal Ninth Layer experts who had come this time. With them taking the lead in the charge, the Dragon Suppression Guards wouldn’t be able to hold.
The Barrier Breaking Pill would certainly be obtained by them. Of course, who would finally claim the prize remained unknown, but even average cultivators jostled for position as if they were the chosen ones.
As for the Postnatal Ninth Layer experts who had come, they were more determined than ever to obtain the pill. After all, with the Barrier Breaking Pill, they could at least break through to the half-step innate realm.
If they looked further ahead, after breaking through to the half-step innate realm, they would consume the Barrier Breaking Pill and make a leap towards the innate realm.
Thinking of this, their eyes grew hotter. Under the present-day heaven, the rumors of the Seven Great Masters suppressing the martial arts world of Dayan Dynasty were spreading.
Even the Dayan Emperor was courteous and polite to the Seven Great Masters and wouldn’t offend them easily.
The title of Innate Nation Protector wasn’t just for show; they could only be dealt with by an Innate Grandmaster.
Even Postnatal Ninth Layer experts were no more than mere numbers in front of an Innate Grandmaster.
Jinshan Temple.
At this moment, Wu Gang’s face was gloomy.
Two squads had lost contact by now, and as for the defensive line formed by Chen Shiqiang and his constables at the County Government Office, it had already fallen.
Prince Ye An seemed calm and unruffled, not worried at all. When Wu Gang came to report, he even asked him to calm down.
“Captain Wu, I believe in the Dragon Suppression Guard. These lowly Jianghu people are nothing more than clowns. Moreover, the high monks of Jinshan Temple are here; you don’t have to worry about my safety. Just focus on killing the enemy.
Indeed, our Dayan Dynasty’s founding emperor was far-sighted. These martial artists don’t know their place. The demise of the Seven Great Sects is their own fault.
Now they dare to offend my Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion, Captain Wu, I hope you won’t show any mercy. 1 want them to know that the only path after offending my Prince’s Mansion is death!”
“Yes!”
Wu Gang’s blood boiled. He glanced at the shadow in the corner where Yin San was secretly standing and thought of the Xuan Generation High Monks nearby, finally putting his mind at ease.
Since there was no need to worry, these damned, lowly martial artists should experience the might of the Dragon Suppression Guard!
“Dragon Suppression Guard, assemble, form up, kill without mercy!”
This time, before the martial artists could respond, they saw the Dragon Suppression Guard gather and quickly form into three-man teams.
The Three Talents Formation!
The martial artists who previously thought the Dragon Suppression Guard was nothing special paid the price for their carelessness.
Several intermediate-level martial artists who previously joined the large group in killing a few Dragon Suppression Guards thought they were nothing special.
When they saw the Dragon Suppression Guard formation charging at them, they didn’t pay attention and failed to dodge in time. The next moment, the unmatched power of their long spears pierced through the protective true Qi, instantly killing them!
At this point, the martial artists were like scattered sand, being defeated one by one by the Dragon Suppression Guard, causing heavy casualties.
Wu Gang couldn’t help but smirk, thinking that the Dragon Suppression Guard wasn’t to be underestimated. However, the next moment, his smile froze, his eyes burning with anger.
They saw the previously uninvolved postnatal ninth layer experts couldn’t help but join the fray to attack the Dragon Suppression Guard as the martial artists continued to lose ground.
Wu Gang didn’t have time to change formation, and the Dragon Suppression Guard was instantly crushed under the attacks of several ninth layer experts, blood staining the scene.
“How dare you?!”
Wu Gang’s eyes widened with anger. Each loss of the Dragon Suppression Guard was a stab to his heart.
Wu Gang couldn’t help but join the battlefield himself. It was too late to change formation. The only way to save the lives of his subordinates was to stop these ninth layer experts.
However, Wu Gang was alone. Although Chen Shiqiang and Liang Ying were both in the postnatal eighth realm, they were already cornered and struggling.
Seeing this, the martial artists were reinvigorated and believed that once they broke through the Dragon Suppression Guard, they would have half the success in obtaining the Barrier Breaking Pill.
A mile away, Liang Sheng sat on a tree branch, his qi perfectly concealed, undetected by anyone.
He didn’t think the martial artists had the upper hand at this moment; instead, he believed they had fallen into a trap, and the most straightforward reason was that the high monks of Jinshan Temple had not yet joined the battle.
Moreover, these high monks didn’t stay in Jinshan Temple but hid around it. With Liang Sheng’s half-step innate realm, he could clearly see their presence.
It could only be said that Ye An was no longer the novice monk of the past but Prince Ye An of Ping’an, using the Dragon Suppression Guard as bait with no hesitation.
At this moment, Liang Sheng’s expression changed. A powerful aura erupted from Jinshan Temple, like a scorching sun rising in the dark night.
Innate Grandmaster!
