Chapter 268: The Strength of the Six-Armed, Four-Legged Divine Descendant!

Chapter 268: The Strength of the Six-Armed, Four-Legged Divine Descendant!

Above the ice layer, the lone island was surrounded by an endless expanse of snow and ice.

A fierce wind swept across the land, and heavy snowflakes fell from above.

As the Wind Divine Messenger approached, looking like a ghost, Jiang Ning released another arrow from his bow.

The arrow left the bowstring and was still in mid-air.

In his hand, another fine iron arrow appeared.

He quickly nocked the arrow and drew the bowstring, infusing the arrow with Wind and Thunder energy, while the storm energy around him also surged into it, and gradually, sparks of electricity flashed.

On the other side, the Wind Divine Messenger did not dare to be careless, not after witnessing the fate of the Star Guardian who had let his guard down.

He used his fist to block the arrow, but it pierced through the ice layer and had yet to resurface.

With this lesson, he dared not be careless.

The next moment, facing the terrifying arrow technique that harnessed the power of wind and thunder, the Wind Divine Messenger once again extended his hands forward.

His vast inner breath transformed into an endless wave, canceling out the terrifying potential energy attached to the arrow.

In an instant, the potential energy of the arrow weakened, and with a flick of his hands, the arrow brushed past him and pierced the ice layer.

A loud rumble echoed as the thousand-pound ice layer was lifted by the lake water, and the splashing water reached a height of ten zhang.

Bright blue light flashed beneath his feet.

This arrow caused him to retreat a full hundred meters.

"This arrow technique is too exaggerated!" he exclaimed in awe.

He had never seen such a terrifying arrow technique in his life.

But today, he witnessed it in the hands of a young man in a small town.

The next moment, his heart sank.

Another arrow harnessing the power of wind and thunder was flying straight towards him.

Where the arrow passed, a terrifying storm raged, occasionally flashing with electricity.

Facing such an arrow that harnessed the power of the elements, he had no intention of blocking it directly.

He took a step forward, his gaze focused, and locked onto the approaching arrow.

"I refuse to believe that you can keep shooting such terrifying arrows!"

He moved, rushing towards the incoming arrow.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning fired one arrow after another without pause.

Only those who could break his arrow technique would have the qualification to fight him.

If one couldn't even break his arrow technique, how could they have the qualification to fight him?

It was known that the bow and arrow he was currently using were not to his advantage. Even when drawn to the fullest, he could only exert three-tenths of his current strength.

The power of a three-tenths strength arrow was vastly different from one shot with full force.

It could be said that due to the limitations of his bow and arrow, he couldn't fully demonstrate the might of his arrow technique.

Moreover, the Wind and Thunder arrow technique he used after breaking through three times was no longer his strongest skill.

Under such circumstances, if one couldn't even break his arrow technique, how could they have the qualification to fight him?

As he shot arrow after arrow, more than ten in succession, Jiang Ning didn't take a single breath, but his advantage didn't expand either.

The Wind Divine Messenger remained a kilometer away.

Each arrow that hit him didn't cause much damage.

Through the Wind Divine Messenger, he witnessed the power of martial arts that harnessed inner breath.

His inner breath had already reached a vast and boundless level.

However, his control over it was extremely rudimentary.

It was like a famous martial arts novel from his previous life, where a young Guo Daxia, despite possessing immense inner strength, lacked the means to utilize it.

To Jiang Ning, there was a similarity between inner breath and inner strength.

He was in a similar situation.

He had vast inner breath but lacked a suitable technique to utilize it.

Usually, he could only rely on his fists and feet, using it in a very basic manner.

But the Wind Divine Messenger was different.

He countered every arrow Jiang Ning shot by harnessing his inner breath in martial arts.

The subtlety of his technique made Jiang Ning envious.

If he had a martial art that utilized inner breath, his combat power would surely rise to new heights.

Especially in the future, as his inner breath grew and transformed, this aspect would become even more crucial.

At the same time, after deflecting more than ten arrows with terrifying power, the Wind Divine Messenger's breathing became heavier.

After deflecting over a dozen arrows, his inner breath in the dantian had already been depleted by half.

"He's truly a monster!"

"Using such a powerful arrow technique more than a dozen times, and it's still not his limit!"

Seeing the Wind and Thunder arrow approaching him in mid-air, the Wind Divine Messenger's heart sank.

Currently, his inner breath was more than half-depleted.

But Jiang Ning showed no signs of weakening.

Once his inner breath was exhausted, he could only rely on his physical body to withstand Jiang Ning's arrows.

The consequence of relying on physical strength alone was something he had just witnessed.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the Star Guardian behind him.

After emerging from the lake, the Star Guardian had retreated behind him, claiming his right arm was injured.

Seeing this, he had nothing to say.

Because he was the one who received the divine oracle.

Star Guardian's injuries, however, were indeed severe. His right wrist and palm were devoid of flesh and blood, leaving only flawless bones.

The wounds on his bones were difficult to heal, and they were not minor injuries.

The next moment,

Facing the arrows that had already reached his body,

He once again unleashed his inner breath, firmly controlling the arrows and preventing the energy contained within them from erupting.

After the potential energy diminished, he flicked the arrows away, and they once again grazed past him, piercing straight into the lake beneath the ice layer.

A loud boom reverberated,

Hearing the commotion behind him, the cracking of the ice layer, the splashing of the lake water, and the blue electric light spreading beneath his feet,

Wind Divine Messenger didn't even turn his head.

He took a deep breath,

And then saw Jiang Ning on the cliff above, shooting another arrow with terrifying power.

"This is trouble!"

His heart sank slowly.

He could feel that his inner breath in the Dantian had been depleted by another ten percent.

Currently, the total amount of inner breath in his Dantian was barely half of what it used to be.

Once the inner breath was exhausted, the difference between the Fifth and Sixth Stages of Jade Bone Realm would not be significant.

A moment later,

Wind Divine Messenger's breathing became increasingly rapid.

The gradual depletion of his inner breath made him acutely aware of his declining physical abilities.

His condition worsened as time passed.

On the cliff above, Jiang Ning maintained his initial frequency, shooting arrow after arrow.

"This won't do!" Seeing Jiang Ning a kilometer away, and witnessing another arrow with terrifying power being released,

Wind Divine Messenger gritted his teeth, "I can't outlast this kid!"

At this thought,

His heart sank further.

The next moment,

His body began to rapidly expand like an inflating balloon.

His height also continued to grow.

Eight feet, eight and a half feet, nine feet...

Star Guardian, witnessing this transformation, was taken aback.

"Wind Divine Messenger can't hold on any longer and is changing form!"

He muttered to himself, "If it were me, I would have chosen to approach from underwater! Who cares about appearances!"

Just then,

A gust of wind dragged the arrow through the air, leaving a white trail, and it landed on Wind Divine Messenger who was in the midst of his transformation.

A thunderous boom echoed,

Electric arcs filled the air.

The accumulated snow around them was blasted into the sky, reaching a height of several meters.

On the cliff above,

Jiang Ning witnessed the transformation taking place below. The taut bow he had been holding slowly returned to its normal state.

In less than a breath,

As the electric arcs dissipated and the thick snow fell from the sky, Wind Divine Messenger's current form was revealed.

His height had reached twelve feet.

His muscles were as solid as black iron blocks, and veins and arteries crisscrossed his body like earthworms winding through his flesh.

The fine iron arrow that had just been shot was firmly lodged in the muscles of his chest.

The next moment,

Jiang Ning saw several bulges forming under Wind Divine Messenger's arm.

Two more arms extended from the bulges.

Then, two more bulges appeared, and another pair of arms emerged.

In the blink of an eye,

Two arms became four, and four became six.

Wind Divine Messenger's eyes were like bottomless abysses, pitch-black and devoid of any impurities.

He slowly lowered his head, his gaze falling on the fine iron arrow lodged in his chest.

Then, a giant hand grasped the arrow.

Puchi—

He gently pulled,

A piece of flesh and blood was torn from his chest, leaving a small pool of black blood.

Worm-like sprouts of flesh immediately sprouted from the wound, wriggling like maggots.

In an instant, less than a breath,

The wound disappeared without a trace, leaving no mark.

At this moment,

Six-Armed Wind Divine Messenger raised his head and looked towards Jiang Ning on the cliff.

He took a step forward,

A loud boom reverberated,

His heavy body caused the ice layer to tremble.

With this step, his lower body grew two more legs, resembling iron towers.

Six arms and four legs,

This was his current state.

It was also the divine descendant form of Guardian Revered Guardian.

This form was the closest to the Flesh and Blood God, with three heads, six arms, and four legs.

Behind him, Star Guardian witnessed this transformation and quietly hid behind a thousand-pound block of ice.

"He's already transformed into the divine descendant form. It seems Jiang Ning has really pushed him to the edge!"

"But with this, Wind Divine Messenger will have to end this quickly!"

Star Guardian muttered to himself.

He was well aware that the longer one maintained the divine descendant form, the greater the impact on one's sanity, bringing them closer to the brink of the abyss.

Even the Guardian Revered Guardian, who was closer to the Flesh and Blood God, was not exempt from this.

Wind Divine Messenger's decision to transform into the divine descendant form was clearly due to the immense pressure Jiang Ning had put on him.

"But it's time to end this!"

"If my commander Jiang's archery is so formidable, then close combat must be his weakness!"

At the same time,

The Wind Divine Messenger also made the same guess as the Star Guardian.

In his opinion, Jiang Ning was too young, and his time cultivating the Martial Path was limited. It was impossible for him to have such an astonishing and extraordinary archery skill while also excelling in close-quarters combat.

Therefore, his previous judgment was that as long as he could get close to the island, he would be able to complete the task.

But facing Jiang Ning's terrifying archery, he gradually realized that he couldn't get even a little closer to the island.

He was constantly forced to stay a kilometer away, kept at bay by the arrows.

With his speed, a kilometer was only a matter of three breaths.

However, against Jiang Ning's archery, even a mere kilometer was enough to exhaust his inner breath, and he couldn't advance even an inch.

So, without hesitation, he directly transformed into his Divine Descendant state.

Transforming into a six-armed, four-legged Divine Descendant, his state was much stronger than the forms of the other members of the sect after their transformations.

Not only did he have an indestructible physical body, but its self-healing speed was also faster than ordinary Divine Descendant forms.

Furthermore, the enhancement of his physical body's strength was also greater than that of ordinary Divine Descendant states.

In his Divine Descendant state, he would directly ignore the arrows that had posed a significant threat to him before.

"Come again!"

The Wind Divine Messenger shouted towards Jiang Ning, who was a kilometer away.

Like the roar of a beast, his voice spread through the wind and snow, clearly reaching Jiang Ning's ears.

Hearing those two words, Jiang Ning smiled.

He drew his bow again, pulling the string to its limit.

After half a breath of accumulation—

The arrow pierced the air, and the wind and thunder rumbled.

A kilometer away—

Seeing the arrow coming again from afar—

The Wind Divine Messenger grinned, revealing a cruel smile.

His figure moved—

Boom!

The ice layer beneath his feet suddenly shattered.

The massive body's surge of energy swept up thousands of accumulated snow.

In just an instant—

The arrow had already reached in front of him.

Seeing the arrow before him, the Wind Divine Messenger no longer had any trace of fear.

He raised one of his arms and swept it across.

A palm as large as a meditation cushion brushed against the arrow.

Boom!

The wind and thunder forces exploded, and arcs of electricity spread in all directions.

However, this power that had made the Wind Divine Messenger extremely cautious before was now like a mere itch to him.

The arcs of electricity that landed on his body couldn't harm him in the slightest.

It was only his palm that was shot with a wound the size of a bowl, and his rapidly advancing figure also slightly paused due to the momentum carried by the arrow.

That was all.

After pausing for a moment—

The Wind Divine Messenger's speed surged again, and the wound on his palm rapidly healed under the wriggling flesh buds.

Subsequently—

He used another palm to sweep away the incoming arrows.

His figure paused again, and then his speed surged once more.

After several consecutive arrows—

The Wind Divine Messenger, fully transformed into his Divine Descendant state, remained completely unharmed.

As for the wound left by his palm smashing the arrow, it had already completely healed.

"That's outrageous!"

Seeing the Wind Divine Messenger just three hundred meters away, Jiang Ning couldn't help but be secretly amazed.

Just now, in the face of the Wind Divine Messenger's wind and thunder arrows, even when he unleashed his inner breath, the Wind Divine Messenger was still struggling. Now, after transforming into his Divine Descendant state, he dealt with the attack with such ease.

It was clear how much stronger he was after the transformation.

"Fortunately!"

"Fortunately, I haven't been slacking off during this time!"

"Otherwise, facing such a powerful enemy today, I would probably have to run for my life."

Jiang Ning put away the longbow, which was almost worn out, into his Infinite Ring.

Then, standing on the cliff, he quietly waited for the Wind Divine Messenger's arrival.

This battle filled Jiang Ning with anticipation.

A Wind Divine Messenger of such strength would be an excellent test of his own abilities.

A test of the results of his diligent cultivation during this time.

On the other side—

The Wind Divine Messenger, constantly pushing towards the cliff, saw Jiang Ning's actions and was slightly taken aback.

"Not running away?" he wondered.

His clear mind was instantly clouded by anger.

"Arrogant!" he shouted involuntarily.

His voice reached the ears of the Star Guardian behind him.

The Star Guardian secretly thought, "As expected! Even after the Guardian Venerable transforms into a Divine Descendant, it's hard to maintain ordinary rationality!"

Then his gaze fell on Jiang Ning, who was standing on the cliff.

"Could this Commander Jiang have some other reliance?"

"Or does he have the confidence to fight a Wind Divine Messenger in this state?"

Considering this possibility, the Star Guardian shook his head.

"That's not possible!"

"The physical strength of a Divine Descendant is almost comparable to that of an ordinary Fourth Rank Martial Path cultivator."

"How can this Commander Jiang fight a Divine Descendant Wind Divine Messenger in close combat?"

He shook his head again, secretly affirming his thoughts.

After that—

He became even more curious.

He was very curious about what methods Jiang Ning had.

Even though he saw that the Wind Divine Messenger, in his Divine Descendant state, was no longer afraid of his archery, he still didn't show any signs of running away.

How could he do that?!
