Seven figures approached from different directions, forming a siege and rushing straight at Ji Ning.

  Although they had not prepared for the seven-to-one battle, each of them was one of the most talented young men on this vast land ruled by the Ji familys Western Prefecture. Even if they were dissatisfied with the young master of the Ji family, none of them dared to slack off and chose to attack with all their might!

  Ji Ning stood there motionless until the seven figures arrived in front of him, at which point he moved!

  Sigh...

  Like a gust of wind, in the flash of swords and shadows. The control over power, body, and degree is refined to the extreme, and the exertion of force is also exquisite... Easily dodging the siege of seven talented young men, following a trajectory, flying out.

  "What?!"

  "Get out of the way?"

  "How is it possible?"

  Seven youths all stopped, their eyes full of shock and incredulity. Just now, Ji Ning hadnt used any weapons, relying solely on his footwork to easily dodge their encirclement. This terrifying footwork... showed that as long as Ji Ning was willing, the seven of them joining forces couldnt even touch the hem of his clothes.

  "So fast."

  "Like a gust of wind."

  "Its no wonder hes the only son of Drip Water Sword, its too powerful! It was so fast that I couldnt see clearly, and all I saw was a blurry shadow." The tens of thousands of spectators were excited, as everyone on this land had been practicing martial arts since childhood, so they all had some insight. Even most of them could only see a blurry shadow, which showed just how fast it was.

  ……

  Ji Ning stopped and stood on one side of the battlefield.

  "None of the seven opponents were able to force me to use my sword, and their footwork is all inferior to mine." Ji Ning glanced over at the seven opponents in the distance, and from the brief dodging earlier, he was already able to determine the realm of each of their footwork. "Two of them have entered the microcosm, one is that curved knife youth, and the other is the golden-haired beast. It seems that the intelligence I obtained previously was incorrect."

  Although Father was proud, Ji Ning still sent someone to gather intelligence on the seven opponents this time. All he knew was that the curved knife youth had reached the realm of stepping into subtlety, and unexpectedly, the golden-haired wild beast also had such a high level.

  "But both of their footwork is slightly worse than mine." Ji Ning revealed a hint of a smile.

  After all, I have reached the state of unity between heaven and man in terms of footwork. Even if I only display a subtle level of footwork on the battlefield, my own display is obviously more perfect and effortless. Plus, Ive been cultivating the "Wind Shadow Step" which is an extraordinary skill in footwork, so I naturally have the upper hand.

  "Get him."

  "Dont give him a chance to dodge."

  "Lets go together."

  Seven boys return once again.

  Ji Ning walked over leisurely.

  In an instant, the seven youths and Ji Ning collided again. Sword lights and knife shadows flashed, Ji Ning seemed to be strolling leisurely, his long sword was like a whip, with its force fully transmitted to the tip of the sword, then fiercely lashed out. Because the Golden Sword Ceremony aimed to minimize deaths as much as possible, the weapons were all unsharpened, more suitable for chopping, sweeping and drawing techniques.

  Hurry!

  Ji Nings sword was swift and made ones heart tremble.

  Ji Ning floated out of the encirclement by the seven people, and at the same time, he swiftly drew out his seven swords.

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The five figures were directly blown away, flying more than ten feet high and crashing to the ground. They struggled to get up, some of them covering their mouths and coughing up blood, while others had scraped faces. Their expressions were ugly and disbelieving. Just a moment ago, they had clearly seen Ji Ning draw his sword and tried to block it, but somehow none of them had managed to touch Ji Nings sword.

  Didnt even touch! Was slapped flying by Ji Ning!

  "Unity of Man and Sword!" The five talented young men instantly grasped the swordsmanship realm of the Ji familys young master, understanding the enormous gap.

  Only three young men were left on the battlefield.

  Ji Ning held the black sword and looked at the curved knife boy and the golden-haired beast not far away, nodding secretly: "I made a move with my sword for each of them, but both of them touched my sword. The curved knife boys speed was extremely fast, but it didnt reach the realm of subtlety. That golden-haired beast... actually reached the realm of unity between man and sword, entering the subtle realm."

  "Ji Ning Gongzi, remember... I am Ji Bao!" The golden-haired beast man stared at Ji Ning, "The one who will defeat you is me, Ji Bao!"

  The curved knife youths face slightly changed: "It turns out that among the many tribal youths, I am not the strongest. There are actually two who are stronger than me, and even this wolf has reached the realm of man-knife unity."

  He had been practicing hard for several years in the Wu Dian.

  He knew he was of humble origin and couldnt master the ultimate knife technique, so he abandoned the complexity of knife techniques and pursued only the speed of knife techniques. His own knife... had to be fast enough, the faster the better. He pursued the ultimate speed, combined with subtle footwork... if he didnt draw his knife, then nothing would happen, but if he did draw it, he would definitely defeat other boys.

  But now he was shocked to discover that not only was the sole son of Shi Jian one river stronger than him, but even this golden-haired guy who had never been famous before was also stronger than him.

  "Ji Ning." The curved knife youth suddenly growled, "I know youre stronger than me, but I want you to take my three knives! Take my three knives alone...... As for you, Lian, dont interfere."

  He stood by, sneering coldly, looking down on him. The curved knife youth was far inferior to him in terms of strength, let alone that Ji Nings footwork was too fierce and couldnt be surrounded at all. Let this curved knife youth humiliate himself.

  Ji Ning across from him, however, seemed lost in thought as he gazed at the curved knife youth. He could sense the conviction that lay beneath the youths words.

  "Good." Ji Ning nodded.

  "Wow!"

  The curved knife youth rushed over, transforming into a phantom, his eyes were even more ferocious like a wolfs. As he approached Ji Ning, his curved knife was unsheathed! The curved knife shone brightly, the first strike was a slash aimed at Ji Nings neck. Logically speaking, this curved knife didnt have an open edge, and using such a move wasnt suitable.

  Its clear that the curved knife youth is about to reveal his most skilled ultimate move.

  "Retreat." Ji Nings figure was like the wind, retreating backwards, the curved knife whizzing past in front of him.

  "Hah!"

  The curved knife youth suddenly flipped his hand and slashed again, the speed of the knife was even faster, slashing towards Jinings neck from the opposite direction. Jining dodged to the side with a slight stumble, but also felt some difficulty, if he continued to use only the subtle boundary of footwork, as long as the opponents knife was a bit faster, Jining would have to draw his sword too.

  "Whoosh!" The knife suddenly flew out of his hand and became even faster, instantly closing in on Ji Nings eyes.

  The Third Knife - The Separating Knife!

  The curved knife spun out of his hand, and with the previous two knives added to it, this last knife reached an astonishing degree. Ji Ning didnt hesitate at all, and with a single sword, he...

  "Clang." The sword and knife collided, the curved knife flying directly back, falling back into the hand of the curved knife youth.

  The boy with the curved sword nodded: "I lost."

  He immediately jumped down from the stage. The curved knife youth was very clear... This Ji Ning was not on the same level as him, let alone that Ji Ning must have practiced the most powerful swordsmanship of the Ji family, and just the unity of man and sword was enough to make him helpless. Being able to exert his strongest strength on this stage, he was satisfied.

  "Invite that curved knife youth to join the Ji family!" The master of the manor, Ji Youyang, who was watching from a distance, instructed one of his servants standing behind him, "He has the potential to become a Xiantian."

  "Yes, master."

  ……

  On the battlefield, only Ji Ning and Lu were left.

  The pupils of the bears eyes gleamed with a golden light, gazing at Ji Ning from afar. At the same time, its body began to emanate a faint golden glow, and an aura of immense power naturally radiated outwards. This caused Ji Nings pupils to constrict in shock: "This bear has actually cultivated the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique? It seems it has reached an extremely high level."

  "Ji Ning." Lian said in a low voice, "I admit, your movement is faster than mine! But today must determine the strongest, relying solely on escape, you will not get the golden sword! You must fight me head-on and kill each other, unfortunately, when it comes to head-on combat, you are not my opponent at all, you have lost!"

  Ji Ning held the black sword in his hand and calmly looked at his opponent.

  From the aura of murder that surrounds him, Ji Ning can infer that this man must have gone through many life-and-death battles. With his opponents mastery of the "Unity of Man and Sword" sword technique, as well as the golden light emanating from his body, it is clear that he has cultivated a powerful divine body cultivation method. If Ji Nings inference is correct, then he should be cultivating the "Mystic Yellow Imperishable". After all, Ji Ning was familiar with the nineteen divine body cultivation methods of the Ji clans five residences.

  "This is called a ruthless person, who has experienced a lot of life and death struggles, and also has the divine magic body refining method. The knife technique is even more human-knife unity. But not a single bit of fame." Ji Ning thought to himself, "Absolutely not from a tribal background, should be from within the Ji family... probably that poisonous snake Ji Lie cultivated and deliberately concealed."

  "Scared?" The man held a single-edged sword, his eyes fixed intently on Ji Ning. He didnt take the initiative to get close, but instead waited for Ji Ning to attack.

  Ji Ning walked forward step by step, holding the black sword, very calm and at ease, as if he were taking a stroll in his own home. If he had encountered the Lizard before being attacked by the Winged Snake, Ji Ning would have been slightly more troubled. But several months had passed since the attack, and the Heaven and Earth Unity Step had greatly improved Ji Nings swordsmanship.

  So-called...

  The footwork is in harmony with heaven and man, only need to grind the work of water, the swordsmanship is also in harmony with heaven and man. Although the swordsmanship has not yet reached the state of being in harmony with heaven and man, Ji Nings swordsmanship is no longer what it was a few months ago. It doesnt even need to use the "Chi Ming Nine Heaven Chart" to easily defeat this guy.

  Ji Nings sword suddenly moved!

  "Hush!" The sword shadow was like a drizzle of rain, descending instantly.

  Beautiful, colorful.

  When the swordsmanship of killing becomes a beautiful enjoyment, it has obviously reached an extremely high and profound realm.

  "Break!" But the giant roared and swung his single-edged sword, its blade shining brightly like blood, cutting through a huge swath of light that slashed towards Ji Ning. In this instant, it was as if hell had descended... Those huge swaths of light were the knives of punishment from hell, making people feel despair, as if they would rather die under those lights.

  "Blood Prison Blade?" Ji Ning instead freely splashed the rain of swords.

  The sword light was like rainwater, forming a stream that flowed and wrapped around the blade. No matter how fiercely the blades Blood Prison Knife burst forth, it was all wrapped up in the flowing water, losing its fierce momentum.

  He felt as if he had fallen into a water prison, with water on all sides, wildly wrapping around him. Although he had infinite power, he couldnt exert it against the water.

  "The blade of the scabbard went wild beyond compare, and even though it was constantly entwined, it didnt hesitate in the slightest, instead becoming even more frenzied."

  "Your swordsmanship is indeed bold and fierce." Ji Ning said softly.

  An opponent of this level poses no threat at all, and its just that the knife technique of this guy is quite attractive to Ji Ning after being honed through life-and-death struggles. Ji Ning is very clear... compared to some older generation powerhouses, what he lacks is sufficient experience.

  "Whoosh."

  Ji Nings black long sword suddenly thrust forward, and in an instant, the world seemed to quiet down. The faint light of the sword seemed to turn into a raindrop, which pierced through the single knife, shattering it. The raindrop then struck Lians chest, as if a water droplet had fallen onto stone. A muffled cracking sound echoed out, and Lian flew backward tens of meters, heavily crashing onto the ground below the battle platform, creating a depression in the earth.

  Dripping water pierces stone!

  "Hmph." He clutched at his chest, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  He lowered his head to look at his chest, the congenital demon beast skin he was wearing had already cracked open, and his chest was completely concave with shattered bones. This was still using a very ordinary unopened blunt black long sword by Ji Ning.

  ……

  The entire martial arts arena, filled with tens of thousands of spectators, first fell silent, followed by an earth-shattering commotion. They were completely shocked. Indeed, he was worthy of being the son of Dī Shuǐ Jiàn Yī Chuān. No wonder Dī Shuǐ Jiàn was so arrogant as to let his own son take on seven opponents at once... This seemingly elegant and refined young master Jì Níng was also too terrifying, effortlessly sweeping away all seven opponents with ease.

  "Hahaha......" Master Ji Yu Yang let out a bright and cheerful laughter, feeling extremely pleased.

  Won.

  He won this round after all, and Ji Ning obtained the Golden Sword, which meant he would be the next Master of the Manor.

  "Dripping water pierces the stone! The sword that enters the border!" Ji Lies right hand on the armrest suddenly clenched, and the stone armrest was crushed to pieces.

  "Second Brother." The master of the mansion, Ji Yu Yang, turned his head and looked at his second brother.

  Ji Lie also looked at his own master, his face changing color, and said in a low voice: "The sword that enters the border... At just ten years old, his swordsmanship has already reached the state of entering the border. One of my Ji familys five great sword techniques, Dripping Water Classic, can be achieved at such a young age! He is even more talented than his father, big brother. You have had Ji Yichuan in this lineage before, and now you also have Ji Ning. It seems that heaven is not helping me, I have lost without any excuses!"
