I wonder which member of the Imperial Family this person is?\" Feng Zhen looked at the silver-masked man’s back and was secretly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll leave this person to you!\" Feng Zhen said to Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he immediately flashed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Daoquan’s eyes opened wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his body moved, the air around him exploded like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... underestimated me, didn’t you?\" Jiang Ning spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one step forward, he shot through the air like an arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His long sword swung horizontally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was instantly compressed into what seemed like tangible waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Daoquan had already experienced the brute strength of the silver-masked man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, this kind of power was unreasonable, an inhuman presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have time to be surprised, his arm blocked horizontally in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword slammed heavily on his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vast power pressed down, and Fang Daoquan was instantly sent flying again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Jiang Ning’s brief obstruction, Feng Zhen had also escaped Fang Daoquan’s range of interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Fang Daoquan landed heavily on the ground again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his hand, Qi-Blood surged, dispelling the numbness, while his eyes stayed fixed on the silver-masked man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re strong! Even though you’re not a Second Grade Grandmaster, you can exert such pressure on me; you’re the first!\" Fang Daoquan stared intently at the silver-masked man and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks for the compliment!\" Jiang Ning’s tone showed no fluctuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the silver mask, there was no visible change in his expression, cold like a machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such strength, you must not be unknown; could you disclose your name?\" Fang Daoquan looked at the silver-masked man and spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the corners of the mouth beneath the silver mask subtly smiled, curving slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Jiang Ning pointed at the silver mask on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the silver-masked man’s words, Fang Daoquan’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly realized that his previous words were foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the suspected Imperial Family member before him wore a mask, it was clearly to conceal his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, how could he reveal his identity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you’re a sneaky coward!\" Fang Daoquan immediately said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning laughed: \"Master Fang can say whatever you like! But with me here, Master Fang shouldn’t overthink!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing these words, Fang Daoquan glanced sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Feng Zhen’s entry, although Zhi Xuan Mountain had more Grandmasters, they were still at a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a loud explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Grandmaster-level elder was instantly swatted away by Feng Zhen’s rod, crashing heavily onto the rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just a glance, he withdrew his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the true battlefield wasn’t determined by Feng Zhen’s involvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by the battlefield between him and the silver-masked man before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the upper battlefield already engaged by Marquis Zhou Sheng and Mountain Master Yun Shanhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whichever of these two battlefields ends first will lead to imbalance on the battlefield where Feng Zhen is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts flashed through his mind, Fang Daoquan deeply exhaled, completely suppressing the turmoil within and stabilizing his scattered aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand with a gesture, accompanied by a flash of white light, a long spear appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear was seven feet two inches long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you won’t speak, I’ll reveal your true face myself!\" Fang Daoquan spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook the long spear in his hand, the spearhead flicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air suddenly burst, white mist spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come!\" Jiang Ning also spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Fang Daoquan at this moment, his fighting spirit surged, faintly excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Daoquan, this Peak Master of Zhi Xuan Mountain, was the strongest opponent he had faced in direct combat so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only half a step away from becoming a Second Grade Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his accumulation and foundation in the Third Grade were extremely deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of a top Grandmaster explains it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped his long sword tightly, then sliced through the air with an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Daoquan moved, appearing in Jiang Ning’s eyes as a Jiao Long emerging from the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful oppressive feeling fell tangibly on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial Arts Conception!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts flashed through Jiang Ning’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Divine Thought erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes returned to clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a stroke of his long sword, he easily redirected Fang Daoquan’s Jiao Long emerging from the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the spear in Fang Daoquan’s hand retracted, and the power he controlled was already as Mixed Yuan and smooth as he wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thrust was like Jiao Long’s Claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At close range, Jiang Ning could even see every fold and texture on the head of the azure dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder he’s a Half-step Grandmaster!\" the thought flashed through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes quickly returned to Qingming, and then the sword in his hand drew a circle once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his guidance of power, he easily neutralized Fang Daoquan’s another strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Fang Daoquan didn’t retreat, instead, his offensive became fiercer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the simple exchange just now, he could see that the man with the silver mask could basically ignore his spiritual conception pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although in the tempering of spiritual will, he hadn’t reached this level, it was clearly far beyond Feng Zhen and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each thrust of the spear, the azure dragon in Jiang Ning’s eyes became more ferocious, more substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Jiang Ning remained calm and unhurried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yang Soft and Hard Sword intertwined with Moving Stars, his defensive ability was extremely strong, able to easily neutralize Fang Daoquan’s offensive, and use this force for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With consecutive fierce exchanges, Fang Daoquan suddenly saw a circle rising around the man in the silver mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What sword technique is this?\" his heart moved, and his offensive hand inevitably lightened a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning’s figure moved, the sword in his hand suddenly thrust forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thrust, there was an astonishing power that broke forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gathered energy suddenly gushed out at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the overwhelming pressure from the man with the silver mask’s sword, Fang Daoquan’s expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stepped his right foot back, crouched slightly, his whole body forming a taut bow, with the spear in hand being the arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surging energy rushed from his body like stormy waves to the spearhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the power was gathered to the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Daoquan’s full force erupted in this strike, thrusting with the pinnacle of his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the outburst from the man with the silver mask, he had no thought of retreat, only wanting a head-on clash, a direct confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment the sword tip and spearhead collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath them split open immediately, the earth surged like tidal waves, cracks and fissures spreading in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roaring explosion echoed through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing pairs of eyes toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People’s gaze suddenly saw Fang Daoquan’s exposed right arm holding the spear, the torn cloth at his shoulder fluttering in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent!!\" Fang Daoquan looked at Jiang Ning several yards away, immediately grinned, the battle intent in his eyes flaring like fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He again spun the spear, placing it behind him, as if carrying it on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he crouched slightly, eyes bright as he looked at the man with the silver mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath him exploded again, his figure like a shadow rushing at the man with the silver mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear he carried behind was whirled like a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching a yard in front of the man with the silver mask, the spear was swung in a Mixed Yuan motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands held the spear tail, then chopped down fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear was instantly swung into a circle, forming an arch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the spearhead chopped down, the air spread like ripples in a lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using naked eye alone, one could see the light blue substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Fang Daoquan’s Mountain Hua splitting strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden light emerged around Jiang Ning’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the sword in his hand shot out like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the void was torn open by his sword tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visible air currents flowed along the sword body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another roar resounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground collapsed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiderweb cracks spread from Jiang Ning’s feet in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as the power was transmitted into the ground, his feet were embedded several inches deep into the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the unmoving man with the silver mask standing firm, Fang Daoquan’s pupils contracted once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This split, more than thousands of jin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the culmination of all his force, the most powerful strike he could muster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the man with the silver mask faced his well-prepared strike without moving, and seemed at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This obviously indicated that the man with the silver mask was more powerful than he imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not a Second Grade Grandmaster, yet with a physique far superior to mine, could he be the rumored Invincible Grandmaster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this possibility, waves surged in Fang Daoquan’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>",1563,"2026-05-29T16:07:50.876Z","2026-06-01T04:29:42.045Z",1,"novelbin.me","fa87319c824948b3d4b8c84ab808608730fadbea2e8e2160493e27ceee08c89c","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-1283","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-1281",1570,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-cover.jpg"]
