Ordinary man?
The elders were all stunned and started cursing in their hearts.
Did Jiang Ning just call himself an ordinary man?
If that was the case, then they weren't even considered humans anymore.
Jiang Ning didn't just have a photographic memory, but he could also learn their techniques so easily and to such an advanced level in just minutes. If Jiang Ning considered himself an ordinary man, then all these elders could go ahead and kill themselves.
"What does the existence of Qingshan Sect have to do with you?" asked the Buddha Sect elder.
He was wary of Jiang Ning's gifting, but at the same time, he was rather envious.
When Jiang Ning executed the Vajra Fist earlier, he was suddenly enlightened. So the Vajra Fist could be used in this way
too!Original content from .
That sort of majesty and overbearing authoritativeness was something that he had never experienced before.
"Qingshan Sect must not fall," replied Jiang Ning directly.
"As long as Qingshan Sect does not fall, all things will remain the same. I will not allow Qingshan Sect to be destroyed. All of you can give it up."
He spoke very calmly, as if he was talking about something very simple.
Even if these six major sects joined hands to attack Qingshan Sect or even if all the other sects in the mountain tried to trample over Qingshan Sect, they would never succeed for as long as Jiang Ning was around.
What domineering words!
But what made the elders nearly stop breathing was how Jiang Ning spoke as if he was just playing with them.
"Humph! Don't you think you're being overly confident?" The Qiankun Sect elder laughed coldly. "Do you know how much manpower and resources we've put into this combined army of the six major sects? You think we'll just give up because you say so?"
"If not?" said Jiang Ning. "Would you rather your entire sect dies at Qingshan Sect's hands?"
"Why, you!" The Qiankun Sect elder was furious. Jiang Ning was way too arrogant!
How dare he say such things?
Qiankun Sect was much more powerful than Qingshan Sect. Even if his sect came by themselves without joining hands with the other five, Qingshan Sect would have trouble dealing with them.
"Did you hearthat?" Luo Long stared at Jiang Ning. Even though he was wary of Jiang Ning's gifting and prowess, he knew that as long as Jiang Ning did not die, Qingshan Sect could never be destroyed.
It was difficult to increase Qingshan Sect's prowess in a short time, but their tenacity was a bigger headache to him.
"That's how far this fellow's
arrogance and complacency has
reached. You can tell what Qingshan Sect is planning," he scoffed. "If we don't destroy Qingshan Sect today, then we'll be in trouble once
Qingshan Sect becomes bigger and stronger."
Qingshan Sect was the only way out of this mountain. Meanwhile, the gray matter from the inside of the mountain kept spreading and pushing the inhabitants closer and closer to the mountain gate. They were sects that were stuck in the middle and were doomed to die if they did not do anything about it. They didn't have any other choice!
"Jiang Ning!" Luo Long pointed a
finger at him and shouted fiercely, "I don't care how you're connected to Qingshan Sect, but if you persist in your ways and stop us from destroying Qingshan Sect, then we'll kill you along with everyone else!"
His eyes bulged angrily and he seemed a little hysterical now.
Things had already come to this, so there was no turning back.
If they didn't destroy Qingshan Sect, then what were all their prior sacrifices for?
What about all the elders and disciples who had died in this battle?
Were they supposed to just drop everything and forget about it because Jiang Ning told them to? He could dream on!
Luo Long's eyes were bloodshot and there was blood on his lips as well. The crazed look on his face really sent chills down one's spine.
But Jiang Ning's expression didn't budge.
"Someone always dies in a war. If you continue fighting, you will only lose more lives."
He had gone through so much in life and had seen it all.
Nobody was in the wrong because they were all doing this for the sake of survival and to protect the people they loved. For Jiang Ning, his wife and friends were all people he wanted to protect, so he wasn't going to allow any harm to befall them.
