Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

But the floor beneath was scorched black, and Xiao Emei's black night-walking clothes were now patches resembling burnt charcoal sticking to her body.

The next moment,

Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment.

Then he half-squatted, reached out his right hand like a dragon emerging from the sea and landed it between Xiao Emei's arms.

Crack—

Crack—

Along with two snapping sounds, Xiao Emei's arms became twisted, obviously dislocated.

In an instant,

Xiao Emei's face showed a look of pain, her night clothes burned by fire and the carbonized fabric sticking to her face began to fall off due to the contortion of her facial expressions.

However, this scene in Jiang Ning's eyes was secretly astonishing.

"Impressive!"

At this moment, the carbonized fabric fell from Xiao Emei's face, yet without leaving behind any traces of burns.

Even the hair on top of Xiao Emei's head was not much burnt.

This couldn't help but amaze Jiang Ning, as Xiao Emei's use of Inner Breath was far more skilled than his own.

At this time, he couldn't help but think about a technique of Inner Breath he had seen earlier in the Fifth Grade True Understanding, named the "Heavenly Garment Technique."

Heavenly Garment without a seam, it can resist water and fire.

"Now it seems that this technique is indeed the most valuable thing in the Fifth Grade True Understanding!"

Seeing the scene before him, Jiang Ning instantly understood the magic of that technique.

If Xiao Emei had not mastered such a similar technique, if she hadn't had the protection of Inner Breath,

the recent burst of flames could have left serious burns on her body.

His thoughts flowed, all in the span of an instant.

Without hesitation, Jiang Ning's palm once again landed on Xiao Emei's exposed back.

"Don't!!" A plea suddenly came from below.

Jiang Ning did not hesitate at all.

Inner Breath erupted from his Dantian, instantly flooding into Xiao Emei's body like a tsunami.

Xiao Emei's just-circulated Inner Breath was completely overwhelmed by Jiang Ning's tidal wave-like burst of Inner Breath.

"Don't!!" She pleaded again.

She could feel the meridians within her body being torn apart under the violent Inner Breath of Jiang Ning.

In just a few breaths' time,

Jiang Ning withdrew his right palm.

At this moment, the meridians inside Xiao Emei were a complete mess.

Especially the Eight Meridians and Twelve Main Meridians, all had serious tears.

In such a state, any slight movement of Inner Breath would bring unbearable pain.

"Miss Xiao, get up!" Jiang Ning said indifferently.

Then he warned again, "Don't think of escaping, if you flee this room, there will be one more female corpse in the Luoshui Lake."

Hearing this sentence, Xiao Emei's heart shuddered.

She bore the pain throughout her body and slowly propped herself up on her elbows.

Looking at Jiang Ning crouching in front of her, her eyes suddenly appeared as if looking at a devil.

She had never expected to fall into Jiang Ning's hands before coming here, nor had she anticipated being defeated so thoroughly, with both her life and purity held within Jiang Ning's palms.

No one knew her bodily state better than she did.

Dislocated arms, torn meridians, ruptured organs, internal bleeding in many places.

This sort of injury completely deprived her of the ability to resist.

"Commander Jiang, you are so cruel!" Xiao Emei clenched her teeth and said.

"Sneaking into my room in the middle of the night, targeting my life, isn't Miss Xiao also ruthless?"

"I didn't want Commander Jiang's life; I just wanted to probe your depths."

"That's why I also didn't kill you, but left you a life," Jiang Ning said.

At those words, the room suddenly quieted down.

"Stop looking, nobody can come to save you!" Jiang Ning said coldly, looking at Xiao Emei who was putting on a pitiable front in front of him.

At this time, Lv Yi and Jiang Li outside were dissuaded from coming over by Jiang Ning using the Sound Transmission into Secret Skill.

Hearing Jiang Ning's words,

Xiao Emei silently mobilized the Great Tendons within her body.

With two crunches, her just-dislocated arms were suddenly rejoined.

Then she adjusted her posture and sat back down on the ground.

As she moved, the carbonized and cooled fabric fell off her body piece by piece, suddenly revealing large expanses of her fair skin.

Xiao Emei quickly covered the exposed areas, feeling an immense sense of humiliation.

She had never revealed herself in front of others like this, bared to someone else's view.

Yet now she had fallen to such a state within a small county town, displayed like a piece of merchandise under Jiang Ning's appreciative gaze.
