Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

No regrets after a single sword strike!
Kill people, kill tigers!
The sword strikes with deadly precision, the movements fluid, decisive, and swift.

Chen Jie's face was expressionless, and the Wuji Sword in his hand stood in mid-air, its sword illusory image awe-inspiring.

He looked up at the end of the street.

this moment,
He exuded an aura of dominance, fierce and invincible.

Facing the endless stream of experts from the Dong family and various forces in the Jiangnan martial arts world, Chen Jie was fearless.

He is the Prince Qian!

He is the head of the Ximen Hall of the Great Qian Dynasty, a peer-to-peer king of the Great Qian Dynasty, the national advisor, a grand scholar, and a son-in-law!
With a single word from him, he could change the course of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Even the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty needed his support to be qualified to sit on the dragon throne.

He intends to restore order to the martial arts world single-handedly.

He wanted everyone in the Jiangnan martial arts world, including all the major martial arts families and gangs, to remember this day as the day the rules of the martial arts world were being reshaped.

Because when Ximen Tang moved into the capital, he said something like that.

The heavens of the Great Qian Dynasty will not change!

When they saw the Dong and Xiang families, the most prestigious martial arts families in Jiangnan, killing people indiscriminately on the streets.

this moment,
Chen Jie was furious!

Furious!

He no longer concealed his whereabouts, nor did he compromise.

To unify the martial world, one must use ruthless methods and suppress dissent forcefully.

boom--!
With a wave of his arm, Chen Jie caused dark clouds to gather in the sky, transforming into a terrifyingly large sword shadow.

Then,

The sword shadows danced in the air, like a giant dragon circling overhead.

Swish!
Chen Jie looked up at the nine-story pavilion of Wenzhou Mansion and said in a deep voice:
"I, Chen Jie, the Prince of Qian, have arrived in Wenzhou! Dong Wanqing, come on—!"

Although he was only a powerful early-stage Divine Realm expert, at this moment, he was full of confidence in his combat strength.

He is fearless in the face of any challenge.

His peak combat power has already touched the limits of the rules of this world.

Since breaking through to the Divine Indestructible Realm, he has not yet unleashed his full combat power.

to be frank,
He also wanted to test his skills and see just how powerful the previous leader of the martial arts world really was.

boom!
A terrifying pressure from heaven and earth emanated from Chen Jie.

This is the innate power that only a master at the [Martial Saint] level can unleash.

The heavens and earth surged, the vital energy condensed, and the sword domain imprisoned them.

That domineering aura was suffocating to anyone.

this moment,
All eyes of the martial arts world in Wenzhou Prefecture were focused on the area beneath the East Gate archway.

The various powerful figures who participated in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference were all hiding in the shadows, quietly observing.

Wow——!
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the street.

"Hmph! I knew you wouldn't die so easily. I didn't expect you to survive Miyamoto Musashi's blade. I have to admire you!"

"Boy, I didn't expect you to chase me all the way to Wenzhou Prefecture just to kill me, Zhao Hong."

"Since you won't give me a way out, then I, Zhao Hong, will fight you to the death. Even if I die, I won't let you get away with it."

The person who appeared on the street was Zhao Hong from the Taiping.

While in Wuchang Prefecture, Chen Jie killed Situ Wushang, the leader of the Hongmen. Taking advantage of Chen Jie's breakthrough, Zhao Hong and the others escaped from Wuchang Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, he arrived in Wenzhou and sought refuge with the Dong family.

He originally followed Situ Wushang to Wuchang Prefecture with the intention of assassinating Chen Jie.

but,

Unexpectedly, Chen Jie reversed the situation in the end, not only killing the Japanese master Chiba Hikaru, but also killing Situ Wushang.

As the head of the Taiping ship, Zhao Hong regarded his humiliating escape as the greatest disgrace of his life.

He vowed to avenge himself at all costs.

unfortunately,

As Chen Jie's martial arts skills improved, Ximen Hall's influence grew.

Zhao Hong's hopes for revenge are dwindling.

When he heard the news that Chen Jie had been killed by Miyamoto Musashi with a single blow, he held a grand banquet to celebrate.

I never expected Chen Jie to come back; he's not dead!
He thought to himself that Chen Jie had probably chased him all the way to Wenzhou Prefecture.

then,

He didn't want to run away anymore, didn't want to live like a dog, dependent on others, hiding everywhere.

"Zhao Hong! It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly!"

"I never expected you to be hiding in Wenzhou Prefecture. After I kill you, I'll wipe out the Dong family!"

"Ha ha--!"

Chen Jie's aura reached its peak, displaying arrogance.

His external avatar coalesced, making him appear domineering, fierce, and unrestrained.

"Hmph! You'll have to pay the price to kill me!"

"Do you really think I, Zhao Hong, will sit idly by and wait to be slaughtered?"

Zhao Hong roared.

but,

Although he was prepared to perish together with the enemy, he did not lose his composure.

What just happened was truly horrifying.

Chen Jie killed Dong Yi with a single sword strike, simultaneously slaying Dong Yi's 'Beast Soul Symbiosis' Siberian Tiger.

Their combat power is too strong!
Even if Zhao Hong was already prepared to die, if he acted rashly, he would probably not gain anything even if he died.

Chen Jie didn't waste any more words, but instead swung his long sword.

Whoosh-!
A flash of cold light from a sword!
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

After breaking through to the Divine Indestructible Realm, Chen Jie's sword aura had reached a point where he could do whatever he wanted, making it impossible for anyone to avoid.

Zhao Hong's expression changed completely.

Standing before Chen Jie, he suddenly realized that he didn't have the courage to make a move.

We can't delay any longer. If we wait any longer, he might not have the courage to fight to the death and would be so frightened that he would kneel down.

Clang——!
In an instant, Zhao Hong drew his longsword.

A sword light flashed and hurtled towards Chen Jie.

The sword light burst open like fireworks, exceptionally explosive and beautiful, giving people a magnificent illusion.

at the same time,

It was like a firework bursting in the sky, illuminating the entire void.

this moment,
Everyone could sense that the long sword in Zhao Hong's hand was filled with an eerie aura.

Very strange!
This is a longsword that was forged by absorbing the spiritual power of the dying.

The sword technique, tempered with evil arts, unleashes a chilling aura when it unleashes its killing intent.

Generally speaking, a longsword that absorbs the resentment, anger, and other spiritual energy of a dying person and is tempered is equivalent to an 'evil sword'.

The Evil Sword is a consumable item and cannot be used indefinitely.

Each time the internal spiritual energy is released, it is necessary to circulate the evil technique again and absorb the aura of the dying.

but,

It is undeniable that the evil sword is extremely powerful, even capable of shaking a martial artist's spiritual senses and willpower.

Once the aura of the 'evil sword' invades one's sea of ​​consciousness, it is easy to go astray and become possessed by evil spirits.

Zhao Hong recklessly unleashed the evil sword, clearly intending to perish together with Chen Jie.

Woohoo——!
A piercing roar swept down.

Sword energy enveloped the surroundings and converged towards Chen Jie.

The surroundings were enveloped by a suffocating aura, forming a faint, intangible domain.

The domain was filled with endless malevolent energy, as if one had fallen into hell.

The sword light surged instantly, silently slashing down towards Chen Jie's head.

"Zhao Hong of the Taiping has actually condensed an evil sword. This bastard has cultivated evil arts and has killed countless people."

"To forge an evil sword, one needs to condense the souls of thousands of dead people, and they must be dying to be effective."

"Damn it, has he gone mad? Using an evil sword in Wenzhou Prefecture?"

"Everyone, spread out a bit. Be careful not to be affected by the aura of the evil sword, or you will easily suffer a qi deviation."

Many martial arts practitioners at the scene were shocked to see Zhao Hong unleash the evil sword.

To know,
This is Wenzhou Prefecture, a sacred place for martial arts in Jiangnan.

The Evil Sword was forged by refining the aura of the dead after practicing evil arts.

Once it erupts, it will unleash endless malevolent energy, which can easily invade a person's soul.

A martial artist has a strong will and is difficult to shake.

But it's different for ordinary people; once they are invaded by evil energy, they will go crazy.

Zhao Hong was determined to die together with Chen Jie, and he didn't care whether he would harm ordinary people.

Whoosh!
Chen Jie stomped his foot, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

His footwork had reached a level of complete control, each step a fleeting, masterful display. In an instant.

His figure appeared beside Zhao Hong, and he slashed down with his sword.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Hong was completely stunned, and his expression changed drastically.

too fast!
He never expected Chen Jie to be so fast.

It disappears in an instant, and then suddenly reappears.

The speed at which it appeared completely exceeded his expectations.

The domain field unleashed by the evil sword can seal off everything around it.

The sinister and ruthless killing intent annihilated everything around it, unleashing a world-destroying power.

unfortunately,

All of this was useless against Chen Jie's speed.

because,

Chen Jie vanished from his spot in an instant and then reappeared beside him.

boom--!
Zhao Hong unleashed his full potential, completely unleashing the combat power of his Great Perfection of Meridian Opening Qi.

However, under Chen Jie's counterattack, he had no way to avoid it.

Can't stop!
With his strength at the Tongmai Gangjin realm, even if he completely burned his life potential in an attempt to perish together with Chen Jie, he simply couldn't stop Chen Jie's sword.

Pfft——!
A sword's cold light pierced the sky.

It's like a gentle spring breeze.

Zhao Hong's head was instantly separated from his body, leaving him decapitated.

Blood gushed from his neck like a fountain.

He didn't even have time to struggle before Chen Jie easily took his life with a single sword strike.

With a single sword strike, both body and soul were annihilated.

Zhao Hong, as the head of the Taiping Company and a martial artist who has reached the Great Perfection of the Meridian Opening Qi realm, is renowned in the martial arts world.

but,

At this moment, he had no power to resist Chen Jie at all.

Like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Chen Jie's expression remained calm, his fisherman's clothes fluttering in the wind.

He didn't even bother to glance at Zhao Hong's decapitated body again.

The Taiping, once considered a formidable rival by Chen Jie.

Even back in Tianjin, Chen Jie was extremely cautious and careful, fearing retaliation from the Taiping.

But now, the head of the Taiping is not even qualified to be glanced at by Chen Jie.

Even when Zhao Hong unleashed the evil sword he had forged over several years, it posed no threat to Chen Jie whatsoever.

This scene,
This completely stunned everyone in the martial arts world.

The entire area around the East Gate of Wenzhou Prefecture was eerily quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

"No way? Prince Qian, Chen Jie's, combat strength is that terrifying?"

"Too strong! Zhao Hong, the leader of the Taiping, couldn't even withstand half a move from him."

"Incredible. I remember when he was competing for the 'Hero's Arena' in the capital, he had just started practicing martial arts and hadn't even broken through the Iron Bone Dark Force. In less than three years, he has become so powerful."

"This person is ruthless and cold-blooded; he's not someone to be trifled with!"

"It was no surprise that Zhao Hong was killed. Even Dong Yi was killed with a single sword strike. Zhao Hong was simply throwing his life away."

"The Dong family has really messed up this time; they're probably in for a lot of trouble."

"Just now I was gloating, saying that Prince Qian came to Wenzhou alone and was in grave danger. He had offended the Dong family and would definitely have a hard time getting away unscathed. Now it seems that the Dong family is the ones who should be in trouble."

“I feel that it is a good thing that the Prince of Qian wants to unify the martial arts world. He is qualified to become the leader of the martial arts alliance.”

"—"

The surrounding martial arts practitioners whispered among themselves.

A hint of fear appeared in everyone's eyes.

Even many leaders of underworld forces have had to make plans for the future.

Whether to submit and go with the flow, or to resist and defy, depends entirely on a single thought.

One sword!
Whether it's killing Dong Yi or killing Zhao Hong.

Chen Jie always ended the battle with a single sword strike.

Such terrifying combat power is by no means a blessing for the major forces in the martial arts world.

The carefree days of the Great Qian Dynasty may be coming to an end.

After Ximen Tang unifies the martial arts world, he will definitely carry out a bloodbath.

At this time,

At the end of Dongmen Street in Wenzhou.

"Get out of the way! Let me kill him! Dong Yue is dead, and my second brother Dong Yi is dead too! All of you, get out of my way!"

Dong Wanqing looked up at the East Gate archway, her whole body filled with murderous intent.

but,

Several elderly men stood in front of him, blocking his way.

These people are the current head of the Dong family and elders.

Although their martial arts skills were only at the early stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, they had a very high reputation in the martial arts world.

"Ancestor! The Prince of Qian has come to Wenzhou Prefecture. His intentions are not good."

"Your cultivation level has only recently stabilized, so it's not the best time to make a move yet. It's not too late to pursue and kill him after he has finished his battle with Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman in the East."

"Ancestor, think it over!"

The current head of the Dong family kept trying to persuade him.

They didn't want Dong Wan to make a move lightly.

To be honest, if Dong Wanqing loses, the Dong family will be completely finished.

"Hmph! You have no faith in me? I can't wait that long!"

Dong Wan snorted coldly, her whole body exuding a terrifying killing intent.

"Ancestor, please calm down! The Qian King's strength is terrifying, you must not act rashly!"

Several younger members of the Dong family kept trying to persuade them.

They didn't have much confidence in Dong Wanqing, because Chen Jie's combat strength was clearly no weaker than the ancestor's.

but,

Surprisingly, the little lion next to Dong Wanqing was radiating a terrifying fighting spirit.

Dong Wanqing sensed the change in the little lion's aura and asked in surprise through her mind:

"Lord Lion, what's wrong?"

The little lion let out a low growl, a hint of madness in its eyes.

"This kid is very strong, but he contains a very rich life force. If I can absorb the life essence in him, I may be able to break the shackles of 'Beast Soul Symbiosis'."

This little lion looks very憨厚 (honest and simple), furry and very scary, yet nimble.

Even any girl who sees it will be attracted by its cute appearance.

but,

Its eyes, however, gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.

Chen Jie remained calm, looking up at the street and waiting quietly.

He subsided his aura and entered a meditative state, his innate qi returning to calm.

But anyone could sense the awe-inspiring arrogance emanating from him.

His aura had already sensed the presence of Dong Wanqing and the little lion beside her.

After a while.

Dong Wanqing, with the little lion, calmly approached Chen Jie, bringing him within ten meters.

How could the current head of the Dong family possibly stop him?
Although no one in the Dong family had confidence in him, fearing that he would lose to Qian Wang Chen Jie.

but,

Dong Wanqing, however, was unusually confident in herself.

He was calm, his steps were steady, he was unhurried, and he was full of confidence.

"The news about the Japanese Black Dragon Society was indeed correct."

"They said that as long as you don't die by Miyamoto Musashi's sword, you will definitely come to participate in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Tournament!"

"With the opening of the ancient tomb of the founding emperor, I believe that any expert above the level of Tongmai Gangjin would find it difficult to resist the temptation of the opening of the [Martial Saint Sect]."

"Your blood already contains the power of the [Saint Realm]. It seems that as long as my 'Lion Lord' devours your blood, I have a good chance of breaking through the shackles and reaching the Martial Saint Realm!"

"Kid, you're still too young!"

“You shouldn’t have appeared in Wenzhou alone, and you certainly shouldn’t have killed my Dong family’s descendants, thus exposing your whereabouts.”

Dong Wanqing looked at Chen Jie expressionlessly.

The Beast Soul Symbiosis began to circulate its power, and his soul merged with the Lion Lord's.

this moment,
He didn't care how strong Chen Jie was; in his eyes, Chen Jie's blood was the best tonic for him.

If he could simply let the Lion Lord devour the flesh and blood of this young man, he would surely see his combat power surge, allowing him to break through and become a true [Martial Saint] in one fell swoop! (End of Chapter)
