Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Ouch——!
The wild nature of the striped tiger was fully unleashed.

After it was captured, it was subjected to merciless abuse in order to tame it.

But it's a fully grown tiger; how could it be so easily tamed?

It possesses remarkable intelligence and harbors deep and unwavering hatred for humanity.

at this time,

It finally broke free of its restraints and only wanted to leave this place and escape into the forest.

The little girl fell down in a spot that blocked its escape route.

Therefore,
At that moment, it went completely mad and opened its mouth to bite the little girl.

Those around who witnessed this scene turned pale with fright.

The mother, a dozen meters away, was plunged into deep despair.

Chen Jie looked up at the striped tiger, frowned slightly, and then gently kicked a small pebble at his feet.

Whoosh-!
Just as the ferocious tiger bared its fangs, preparing to tear the little girl to pieces,

Pfft——!
Da da—da da—!
All that could be heard was the sound of heavy machine guns coming from the side.

The moment the striped tiger's body fell, the heavy machine gun opened fire on it fiercely.

then,

An astonishing scene unfolded on the street.

The imposing, striped tiger was quickly riddled with holes, its blood staining the street.

Unexpectedly, the chivalrous Ouyang next to him attacked at the same time as Chen Jie.

The pebble kicked by Chen Jie was the first to smash the tiger's head.

Almost simultaneously, Master Ouyang unleashed a fierce barrage of fire from his heavy machine gun, without the slightest delay.

At such close range, being relentlessly bombarded by heavy machine guns, the tiger had no chance of survival.

The mother finally rushed over, hugged the little girl tightly, and burst into tears of joy.

Next,
She checked her daughter and found no injuries, then knelt down and kowtowed to Ouyang Daxia and Chen Jie.

Then,

When she saw the sign on the tiger, she turned pale with fright and hurriedly left the street with her daughter in her arms.

Chen Jie's face remained expressionless as he stared at the magnificent tiger before him, lost in thought.

Since arriving in Wenzhou Prefecture, he has been sensing the aura of Tianjiu Miaofeng.

To his surprise, when he was outside the city, he could clearly sense that Miao Feng was inside Wenzhou City.

but,

Upon entering Wenzhou Prefecture, Miao Feng's aura vanished.

They weren't killed, they were blocked.

There are only two possibilities to shield him from spiritual probing.

Firstly, there was a powerful figure in Wenzhou Prefecture who surpassed him in the Refining Spirit Realm, thus shielding all the energy within Wenzhou Prefecture.

Anyone who enters Wenzhou Prefecture will be unable to discover anything about the city.

Secondly, someone within Wenzhou Prefecture used a secret method to shield the flow of Qi.

Similar to a 'formation array', it can seal off the natural forces within Wenzhou Prefecture, preventing outsiders from sensing anything within the city.

With Chen Jie's current level of spiritual refinement, if left undisturbed, his spiritual senses can cover the entire Wenzhou Prefecture.

but,

He tried a few times after entering the city, but he could no longer sense Miao Feng's aura.

It seems that

Wenzhou Prefecture, a sacred place of martial arts in Jiangnan, is more complicated than I imagined.

This place not only blocks the flow of Qi, but also has people who act lawlessly here!
Someone actually rode an untamed tiger into the street, acting arrogantly and lawlessly.

this moment,
A surge of anger welled up in Chen Jie's heart.

More importantly, there were quite a few martial arts practitioners who had tried to stop the tiger from attacking people.

but,

When they saw the sign on the tiger, they were too scared to approach.

This shows that this tiger is no ordinary creature.

Or rather, people were afraid to provoke the owner of this fierce tiger.

Master Ouyang put away the crane gun, turned his head to look at Chen Jie, who seemed unaffected, and frowned slightly.

He didn't see Chen Jie make a move, nor did he see Chen Jie do anything to stop the tiger.

He didn't know that the tiger was the first to fall to the ground, not because it was hit by machine gun fire, but because a small stone shattered its head.

For Ouyang, who always hated evil, he was dissatisfied with Chen Jie's performance just now.

How could a martial artist stand idly by and watch a tiger injure people?
How could this kid be so cold-blooded?

He wondered to himself whether recruiting him was the right or wrong thing to do.
this moment,
He had to reassess whether he should continue to recruit this young man.
He originally wanted to recruit Chen Jie because he sensed that Chen Jie possessed a strong sense of righteousness.

But now, he has to doubt his own judgment.

Just as Master Ouyang put down the heavy machine gun, a fierce roar came from not far away.

"Damn it! Who killed my striped tiger?"

"Who's there! Show yourself!"

"I'll kill your whole family, you dare kill my tiger?"

"Waaah—I just spent five thousand silver dollars to buy it, and it wasn't even tamed yet. I didn't even ride it once, and it was killed like this!"

"Which bastard is it? I'll tear you to pieces!"

A young man dressed in silk brocade robes approached the carcass of the striped tiger and roared angrily.

He even shed a tear, looking at the corpse of his tiger mount with a heavy heart.

Wow——!
Next,
More than twenty armed guards rushed over and surrounded the young man, vigilantly protecting his safety.

They carried swords at their waists and held the latest muskets purchased from Europe in their hands.

but,

Their expressions changed drastically when they saw the striped tiger riddled with bullets.

Damn it——!
Who is so bold as to kill a striped tiger?

Seeing the tiger riddled with bullet holes, all the guards had to be on high alert.

quickly,

The streets became very quiet.

Many martial arts practitioners in the vicinity dared not utter a sound upon seeing the young man in brocade robes and his guards appear.

Although everyone secretly cursed the tiger's owner and his ancestors for eighteen generations.

but,

When this bastard showed up, everyone wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible to avoid getting themselves into unnecessary trouble.

The owner of this tiger is a madman, a pervert.

Anyone who messes with him is doomed!

"Damn it! Did you kill my tiger?"

A young man dressed in silk brocade, filled with rage, approached Chen Jie.

Because Chen Jie was in the closest position, he was standing right in the middle of the road.

"Boy, are you tired of living? How dare you kill my tiger mount?"

"Pay up! Fifty thousand silver dollars, not a single dollar less, and you're not leaving this street today."

Many people around widened their eyes upon hearing what the young man said.

Damn it——!
Just now you said you spent five thousand silver dollars to buy it.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into 50,000 yuan. That's outrageous!
For a while,
Many people looked at the young man standing in the middle of the road with sympathy.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie not only didn't get angry, but instead laughed.

He never expected that he would be extorted after arriving in Wenzhou.

It seems I've been focusing too much on building up Ximen Hall's army and neglecting the reorganization of the various forces in the martial arts world.

Although Ximentang has already wiped out major forces such as the Green Gang, the Hongmen, and the Gelaohui.

but,

Other gangs in the underworld absorbed the remnants of the Green Gang, the Hongmen, and the Gelaohui, causing their overall strength to expand rapidly.

They are even more ruthless and domineering than powerful forces like the Green Gang and the Hongmen; they are utterly lawless.

call--!
Chen Jie couldn't help but exhale, secretly making up his mind.

Matters of the martial world should be settled within the martial world itself!
It's time to unify the martial arts world. These independent and selfish martial arts families must be reformed.

If they are allowed to continue to grow and expand, the foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty will be eroded by these parasites.

"Are you talking to me? Are you sure you want to take my 50,000 silver dollars?"

Chen Jie spoke slowly and deliberately, a faint smile on his face.

He suppressed his murderous intent and appeared gentle and harmless.

"Oh ho! You're pretty arrogant, aren't you? You thought I was joking with you?"

"You probably don't realize how serious this is."

"Kid, the price has gone up now. It's 100,000 silver notes. If you're short even a penny, I'll break your leg!"

"Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he would still have to compensate me for my tiger!"

The young man, dressed in brocade robes, spoke with an arrogant expression.

He wasn't making baseless accusations; he sized Chen Jie up and down for a moment. Although Chen Jie had an impressive air about him, he was dressed in the coarse cloth clothes of an ordinary fisherman, and his accent was different from that of the eastern Zhejiang area.

Therefore,
Judging from Chen Jie's appearance, he was just a country bumpkin who had just arrived in Wenzhou.

These out-of-town swordsmen aren't very skilled in martial arts, and they especially love meddling in other people's business.

If I don't kill him today to establish my authority, I'll be letting down the guards around me.

Click——!
The voice just fell.

The guards beside the young man in brocade robes immediately pulled back the bolts of their muskets and surrounded Chen Jie.

They glared menacingly at Chen Jie, ready to fire without hesitation at the young master's command.

"I was wrong! I underestimated the influence of powerful families!"

Chen Jie glanced around and sighed, "If we don't eradicate the root of this cancerous cancer within the aristocratic families, it could resurface at any time."

"However, it's not too late now—!"

call--!
Chen Jie let out a long breath, his gaze becoming sharp.

"Men, tie this brat up!"

Before he could finish speaking, the young man suddenly noticed Ouyang Xiaoxiao standing next to Chen Jie.

hiss--!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The woman wasn't tall, but she was pretty and had a great figure.

Do not know why,

The moment he saw Ouyang Xiaoxiao, he felt his blood surge and his heart burn with passion.

Judging from the woman's concerned expression, she must be this guy's woman, right?
Very good!
The young man in brocade robes revealed a subtle, enigmatic smile.

Tonight, I'm going to have your woman warm my bed, consider it interest on a 100,000 yuan note.

The thought of giving himself a good thrashing tonight made the young master in brocade robes feel a bit excited.

The way he looked at Ouyang Xiaoxiao was like that of a greedy wild dog.

Ouyang Xiaoxiao was stared at by this young man in fine clothes, and immediately glared at him fiercely, her fiery temper exploding instantly.

"What are you staring at me for? Do you want me to gouge your eyes out?"

The young man in brocade robes was completely unconcerned about Ouyang Xiaoxiao's anger.

He chuckled and said, "Little lady, you're this guy's woman, aren't you? Come with me tonight, and I'll make sure you're happy! Haha—!"

As he spoke, he burst into wild laughter, displaying his arrogance.

He liked Ouyang Xiaoxiao even more when he saw her angry expression, and his eyes began to light up.

He preferred fiery women to taming tigers as mounts.

He felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment every time he tamed a fiery-tempered woman.

have to say,

He really liked Ouyang Xiaoxiao, a petite woman with a fiery personality.

At this time,

On the streets of Wenzhou, many江湖人士 (jianghu figures) watched the spectacle from afar.

but,

Upon seeing this young man in brocade robes, no one dared to stand up and say a word.

In Wenzhou, this young man was notorious and no one dared to mess with him.

If you mess with him, you'll be lucky to escape with your life.

When they saw that Chen Jie and Ouyang Xiaoxiao had been targeted by this young man in brocade robes, everyone could only shake their heads and sigh.

It seems this outsider is in for some bad luck today.

There's no way around it; in Wenzhou, there aren't many people who can afford to mess with this bastard.

Ouyang Xiaoxiao gripped the knife at her waist, ready to start the fight.

She has always had a very fiery temper and has never known the meaning of 'forbearance'.

If they disagree, they'll draw their swords and fight!

but,

She suddenly saw her elder brother, Ouyang the Hero, shaking his head at her, signaling her not to act rashly.

"What do you mean? Brother, you want to test this person?"

Ouyang Xiaoxiao quickly understood her elder brother's meaning and resisted the urge to slowly release her hand from the hilt of the knife.

At this time,

The young man in brocade robes stared wide-eyed at Ouyang Xiaoxiao's angry expression.

Damn it——!
This woman is absolutely gorgeous!

I must have her!

this moment,
The young man in brocade felt his blood rushing through his body, his eyes even turning a little red, and his throat going dry.

He stepped forward, eager to grab Ouyang Xiaoxiao.

"Little lady, come with me tonight! Haha—!"

As he spoke, he said to Chen Jie, "Kid, your woman is mine now. If she can serve me to my satisfaction, I might spare your life!"

Chen Jie smiled calmly and said to the young man in brocade robes, "If there is an afterlife, remember not to be too flamboyant!"

Om-!
The two were about five meters apart.

A sound wave instantly entered the body of the young man in brocade robes from Chen Jie's mouth.

next moment,
The young man in brocade robes suddenly began to swell up like an inflatable balloon.

The sound waves surged and swirled within his body.

"what--!"

The young man in brocade was completely dumbfounded.

He tried to shout for help, but the sound stopped abruptly.

Then,

He found himself unable to move and unable to muster any strength.

Can't move!
His body was completely restrained, and he could only watch helplessly as his body expanded like an inflating balloon.

A sound wave surged through his body, eventually crashing into his dantian.

Click——!
Immediately afterwards, his skin began to detach from his muscles, his body swelled up again, and even his head inflated and turned into a pig's head.

The intense pain was unbearable for him, and he wanted to shout for help.

Unfortunately, he couldn't make a sound at all.

Pfft—Pfft—!
As the sound waves continued to impact him, blood kept gushing from his eyes, nose, and ears.

Bleeding from all seven orifices!

Everyone who witnessed this was so frightened that they quickly stepped back.

what's the situation?
This is absolutely insane!

The two siblings, Ouyang Daxia and Ouyang Xiaoxiao, were completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Oh no—something terrible is about to happen!

Although the two felt they should teach the young man in brocade a lesson, they never considered killing him.

They mustn't kill him!
If we kill him, wouldn't the Xiang family of Jiangnan be thrown into chaos?

When they saw the young man in brocade robes swell to his limit, they felt a chill run down their spines.

From beginning to end, they never saw clearly how Chen Jie made his move.

Sonic Kill!

hum!
Ouyang felt a buzzing in his head and stared at Chen Jie in disbelief.

This is a sonic attack that can only be used by experts at the level of Opening Meridians and Qi Refining!

The fact that the two sides could still unleash a sonic attack from a distance of five meters means that their martial arts level must be at least at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm.

"Young Master—!"

The guards around him gasped in shock when they saw the young master in brocade robes' swollen body.

"Hmph! You all who aid and abet evil shall die!"

Chen Jie snorted coldly, and a terrifying killing intent swept around.

Thud—Thud—!
next moment,
The young man in brocade robes exploded instantly, his flesh and blood turning into dust.

A terrifying shockwave overturned the surroundings.

The surrounding twenty-odd guards were instantly blasted to pieces by the shockwave.

Their bodies were like ice shards falling to the ground, instantly destroyed by the shockwave from the young man in brocade robes' explosion.

boom--!
In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were enveloped by a shockwave.

To the astonishment of all onlookers, the shockwave stopped automatically after spreading within a ten-meter radius, ceasing its outward expansion.

Within a radius of about ten meters, it was as if something had imprisoned it.

The young man in brocade robes and his guards were completely crushed by a shockwave and swept away by a storm, disappearing without a trace.

Their flesh and blood scattered in the wind!
hum!
Ouyang's expression changed completely, and he felt a sudden jolt in his mind.

God!

The Fifth Realm of Martial Arts – Domain!

Martial Saint!

He—he is the Martial Saint!
This is the power of a Martial Saint! (End of Chapter)
