Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 276 Princess Lingyue's Sword!

Half an hour later.

Sasaki Jiro and Suzuki Yuhei's battalion finally reunited.

but,

Both Kwantung Army battalions were attacked, suffering heavy casualties.

Three hundred meters away from the Kwantung Army's bayonet formation.

Liu Ergou and Xu Xiaodao were currently crouching in the crevice of a large tree root, using binoculars to observe the Japanese 'bayonet formation'!
Just now, two battalions of the Kwantung Army joined up and entered the ambush area.

The Ximentang Special Forces also joined forces, and Liu Ergou and Xu Xiaodao's men attacked together.

For a while,
They slaughtered the two Japanese battalions, leaving them screaming in terror.

The two were in high spirits. It seemed that this attack on the elite Japanese forces was going to be a great success, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

but,

The Sakata Allied Forces truly lived up to their reputation as elite troops of the Kwantung Army.

They quickly stabilized their formation and regrouped, forming a 'bayonet formation'!
With the counterattacks of artillery and heavy machine guns, defensive capabilities began to strengthen.

Although Ximentang launched continuous attacks, he found it difficult to break through the opponent's defenses.

Ten minutes later.

Simon's sniping is unlikely to be effective anymore.

Sasaki Jiro and Suzuki Yuhei changed their formation to a 'turtle formation' and focused all their efforts on defense.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ergou and Xu Xiaodao quickly halted their attack to avoid a direct confrontation with the Kwantung Army.

"Damn it—fighting like this isn't going to work!"

"The Japanese surrounded us with heavy machine guns and artillery, while heavily armored soldiers defended the outer perimeter, like a tortoise shell. How could we possibly fight them?"

"We can't get too close, otherwise we'll be easily hit by their heavy machine guns and suffer casualties."

Liu Ergou was in a bad mood as he watched the enemy defend with all their might.

Xu Xiaodao sighed and said:

"Before this mission began, the young master specifically told us not to underestimate the elite of the Kwantung Army. These Japanese devils are indeed formidable!"

"We only have about six hundred people in total, we absolutely cannot engage in a head-on confrontation with them!"

"Just wait, they'll definitely have to change formation if they want to leave the woods!"

"The tortoise formation is for defense; they can't stay in the forest forever, can they?"

Liu Ergou nodded and said, "That's right! Let's just surround them and slowly take them down. They're the ones who are getting impatient!"

If Sasaki Jiro can keep using the 'turtle formation' for defense.

Then,

Ximentang really didn't have many ways to deal with him.

Because it's in the woods, mortars are difficult to use effectively.

At the same time, the heavy machine gun was blocked by trees at a slightly longer distance, making it unable to inflict effective damage.

Therefore,
Ximen Tang could only rely on sniper rifles to pinpoint kills and put pressure on the Japanese Allied Forces.

Half an hour later, Sasaki Jiro couldn't take it anymore.

It wasn't because he lacked patience, nor because he couldn't hold his temper.

It's not because he's unlucky.

There happened to be a huge hornet's nest at the location where the Allied Forces of the East were stationed.

The heavy machine gun fired continuously, shattering the hornet's nest.

Buzz buzz—!
Swarms of wasps danced over the heads of all the soldiers in the Kwantung Army.

Many soldiers screamed as they were stung by wasps.

After witnessing this scene, Sasaki Jiro took a deep breath and said:
"Damn it! This won't do. We have to break through. Otherwise, if our formation falls apart and the Daqian army starts counterattacking with heavy machine guns, we'll be wiped out!"

Suzuki Yuhei was well aware that he couldn't continue to be so passive.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:
"Retreat! If we don't retreat, we're all doomed!"

this moment,
Both of them pinned their hopes on the fact that Ximentang's army had already withdrawn.

However, while hope is beautiful, reality is cruel.

Instead of retreating, Ximentang waited nearby, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Therefore,
When the Kwantung Army's main force began to change formation, preparing to break out and retreat.

Da da—da da—!
Ximentang's heavy machine guns opened fire directly from the woods, heading straight for the retreating Kwantung Army contingent.

After one wave of attacks, the two battalions of the Kwantung Army were reduced to less than five hundred men!

By this time, the main force of the Kwantung Army had been completely routed.

They had no desire to fight; they only wanted to retreat as quickly as possible and leave the woods.

How could Ximen Tang possibly let them escape so easily?

then.,
In the jungle, a chase begins!
-

Inside Songjiang Mansion.

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, turning it gray and gloomy.

An atmosphere of impending battle enveloped the entire city of Songjiang.

Qingyun Street!
This is a street on the south side of Songjiang Prefecture, which used to be the most prosperous place in the concession.

but,

After Ximentang moved into Songjiang Prefecture, the once prosperous area seemed to have fallen into decline.

Although there were many people on the streets, business was slow in both restaurants and grocery stores.

The shopkeeper stood at the entrance, looking up at the increasingly deserted street, his face full of worry.

"Young master, something's wrong! There's a murderous aura—!"

Tang Feng walked beside Chen Jie on Qingyun Street, his face solemn as he spoke.

On the other side, Meng Hu also gripped his replica AK47 assault rifle tightly and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, I have the same feeling. There are ambushes around!"

Wow——!
finished,

Twenty-four bodyguards formed a circle, protecting Chen Jie in layers.

Chen Jie had just left the military camp in Songjiang Prefecture and was leading his personal guards to inspect the garrison situation within the prefecture.

Qingyun Street belongs to the southern district of Songjiang Prefecture.

The forces here had already been driven away by Ximentang.

but,

At this moment, Chen Jie had only been on Qingyun Street for a short time, and he was also on high alert.

His spiritual refinement realm is at the 'Great Perfection of Inner Vision' level, making him more sensitive to danger than Tang Feng and Meng Hu.

A terrifying killing intent instantly locked onto him.

“Back off—!”

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and gave a deep order.

Just as Chen Jie was about to retreat, the suffocating sound of bullets whistling through the air filled the air.

"Watch out! That's a heavy machine gun!"

Da da—da da—!
As Tang Feng let out a cry of alarm, one of his bodyguards was shot down by a heavy machine gun bullet and his body flew three meters away.

Although the bodyguard was wearing a bulletproof vest.

However, the impact of the heavy machine gun still knocked him to the ground instantly.

"Lie down—!"

Without hesitation, Chen Jie roared.

He knew the other person was targeting him, so he didn't hesitate to lie down on the ground.

at the same time,

The heavy machine guns fired fiercely, as if the air itself was being torn apart.

One of Chen Jie's bodyguards, who was close to him, was unable to dodge in time and was hit in the neck by a bullet from a heavy machine gun, falling backward.

"Be careful, son!"

Another guard stood in front of Chen Jie, blocking his path with his body.

Use it to block bullets!
That's right, that's the duty of the guards.

They used their own bodies to shield the young master from bullets.

The saturation of heavy machine gun fire tore the body armor on the back of the bodyguard to shreds.

The bullet pierced his chest, and blood splattered on Chen Jie's face.

"Long Qiang—!"

Chen Jie shouted, and saw the guard fall down in front of him.

"Meng Hu, protect the young master!"

Tang Feng shouted.

He got up from the ground, picked up his assault rifle, and charged toward the heavy machine gun ahead.

Cough cough—cough cough—!
At the same time, all the guards around him opened fire with their assault rifles at a distance, creating a suppressive fire.

Then,

The guards instantly formed three human walls, blocking Chen Jie's way.

Meng Hu stood on the outermost edge, firmly shielding Chen Jie behind him.

Whoosh—whoosh—!
On the street, besides the sound of heavy machine gun bullets whizzing through the air, a familiar black shadow flashed by.

Black Dragon Society Ninjas!
hum!
Chen Jie unleashed his full power of 'Inner Vision' and shouted:
"Everyone, fire in the right-hand three o'clock direction to suppress the heavy machine gun!"

"Meng Hu, cover Tang Feng—!"

Upon hearing Chen Jie's order, the guards opened fire with their assault rifles without any hesitation, aiming at the three o'clock position on their right.

Then,

Chen Jie, holding a pistol, followed in Tang Feng's direction, ready to charge forward together.

but,

Suddenly he felt a tightness around his waist as Meng Hu held him tightly.

"Young master! You can't charge! Unless our entire personal guard is wiped out, it's not your turn to take the risk!"

Waaaaah—waaaah—!
The sound of bullets piercing the air completely shattered it.

The person who assassinated Chen Jie had clearly been preparing for a long time.

They not only used heavy machine guns, a deadly weapon on the battlefield, but also had a considerable number of personnel.

The lethality of a heavy machine gun is undeniable; once it fires suddenly, there is no way to dodge.

A sudden and unexpected attack killed more than half of Chen Jie's personal guards.

Chen Jie's eyes turned red as he watched one after another of his bodyguard brothers fall in pools of blood!
He was filled with resentment; things had been going smoothly for him lately, and he had let his guard down.

He never expected to encounter such an attack on Songjiang Prefecture's territory.

If they had been prepared, perhaps the Royal Guard's casualties wouldn't have been so high.

But suddenly heavy machine gun fire broke out, and the casualties of the Royal Guard were obvious due to the unexpectedness of the situation.

Tang Feng truly lives up to his reputation as the captain of the personal guard; he is brave, skilled in battle, and extremely fierce!
His arms and legs were hit by bullets.

However, without pausing, he held his assault rifle and fired wildly at the enemy's heavy machine gun position.

His marksmanship and courage were outstanding, and he finally suppressed the heavy machine gun fire.

Seeing this situation,

Meng Hu shouted, "Brothers, increase firepower and cover Captain Tang!"

then,

Meng Hu and two other guards escorted Chen Jie as they rushed into the alley next to them.

We cannot remain on the street; we must avoid the heavy machine guns.

Whoosh-!
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the alley, a flash of light swept past my eyes.

Woohoo——!
The sharp blade whistled down.

This slash was aimed straight at Chen Jie's heart, a vital organ, with the intention of killing him on the spot.

Chen Jie was at the limit of his Refining Spirit Realm, and was greatly surprised when he saw the blade light.

What terrifying swordsmanship!
This is—the Eastern One-Sword Style!
Cough cough—!
Without any hesitation or pause, he raised his gun and opened fire.

Click——!
A scene that shocked him appeared.

The blade was originally aimed at his vital chest, but it changed direction midway and cleaved the pistol in his hand in two with a single strike.

hiss--!
Chen Jie felt a numbness in the web of his hand.

Fortunately, I let go quickly enough; otherwise, if I had been even a fraction of a second slower, my entire hand would have been separated from my body!
What a quick knife!

Whoosh-!
In an instant,
The blade reversed, changing from a slash to a thrust, and once again attacked Chen Jie's chest.

This strike was even faster than the last.

There is no way to avoid it!

Chen Jie suddenly had a feeling that all his escape routes had been completely blocked.

The opponent's martial arts level and the Refinement of Spirit realm completely overwhelmed him.

At close range, there's no chance to fire a shot, or even to dodge.

You son of a bitch—!
Do you really think you've got me cornered?
At this moment, Chen Jie's anger was completely ignited.

Ignoring the pistol that had just been cleaved in two, he instantly pulled another gun from his waist with his left hand.

this moment,
He barely looked; he just fired a burst of bullets at the side based on instinct.

The close-range saturation firing was faster than a ninja's assassination, and finally suppressed the opponent.

It is clear,
The ninja seemed somewhat surprised, realizing that he had underestimated Chen Jie's combat strength.

boom--!
As a cloud of smoke exploded on the ground, the ninja's figure suddenly vanished from Chen Jie's sight.

Illusion Technique - Fire Release!
Chen Jie fired again to suppress the enemy, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He always carried two pistols and six magazines with him.

After subduing the ninja who had attacked him, he casually pressed down on his pistol, changed the magazine, and continued firing to the side.

Cough cough—cough cough—!
Unexpectedly, another ninja approached, and pistol bullets clashed fiercely with the blade.

The samurai sword was shattered by the bullet, sparks flying.

this moment,
Chen Jie's mind was clear, and he unleashed his full fighting power.

Although his martial arts skills were only at the "Great Perfection of Copper Skin Ming Jin", with a spear in hand, his combat power was comparable to that of the "Marrow Transformation and Energy Transformation" master!
Another ninja had just rushed up when Chen Jie shot him three times in the chest and abdomen, knocking him to the ground.

"Get out of the alley—!"

Chen Jie yelled at Meng Hu and crouched down to retreat.

but,

Just as he was about to step back, a sweet laugh came from inside the alley:
"Trying to escape? Do you think you can?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sharp whooshing sound came down towards his center line.

female?

Upon hearing the other person's voice, Chen Jie felt a chill run down his spine.

There was no way around it; the sense of crisis the other party instilled in me was just too intense.

This female ninja is extremely skilled in martial arts.

Chen Jie suddenly realized that his Refining Spirit Realm, 'Great Perfection of Inner Vision,' was completely unable to lock onto his opponent.

It's obvious that the opponent's Spirit Refinement Realm has definitely broken through to the 'Guardian Aperture' stage!
At close range, even if you use a gun, it's useless.

We're doomed!
It seems I'm doomed today!
In the face of life and death, Chen Jie suddenly realized that he seemed to have been putting the cart before the horse and had gone in the wrong direction.

I've become too reliant on guns and cannons!

Since the last time in the capital, when I shot and killed a Japanese ninja who was at the early stage of the 'Marrow Transformation and Energy Transformation' realm.

Subconsciously, Chen Jie somewhat neglected martial arts.

He always felt that as long as he had a gun, he would be invincible.

not to mention,
He is always protected by his personal guards, and even a 'Blood Pill Strength expert' wouldn't be able to get close to him!

Martial arts are destined to be obsolete in the era of firearms!

but,

It was only when Chen Jie faced a life-or-death moment that he came to his senses.

Guns and cannons are always external things!
Only by becoming strong can one face all challenges.

Just like now, if his martial arts can break through to the Iron Bone Dark Force realm, and his Spirit Refining realm can break through to the 'Guarding Aperture' realm.

This powerful female ninja will not kill me so easily!
Whizzing--!
At that very moment, a hidden weapon came hurtling towards Chen Jie.

It wasn't a bullet, but a very exquisite meteor dart.

Meteor dart!
One of the most terrifying hidden weapons of the Japanese ninjas, also known as the Ghost Shadow!
Its shape is mainly star-shaped, with an extremely sharp tip.

at this time,

The meteor dart spun rapidly, hurtling down towards Chen Jie's chest and abdomen.

Unstoppable!
hum!
Chen Jie's mind went blank; he didn't have time to react at all.

Then,

A terrifying power emanated from the meteor dart.

It was like a Barrett sniper bullet, slamming into his chest and abdomen.

Thump thump thump—!
Chen Jie took five or six steps back, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.

so close!

Fortunately, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and titanium chainmail, which provided double protection and allowed him to block the meteor dart.

Otherwise, I will surely die!

He steadied himself, and before he could even catch his breath, a figure descended from the sky.

A blade flashed down towards his neck.

too fast!
The speed of this strike surpassed Chen Jie's reaction time.

at this time,

He finally got a clear look at the female ninja's figure.

The other person was wearing a black ninja uniform, and their face was covered, but it was clear from their figure that they were a woman.

Her figure spun rapidly in the air, drawing a beautiful and dreamlike curve.

hiss--!
Chen Jie's mind went blank, and he couldn't help but gasp.

He had no interest in admiring the other person's physique; instead, he sensed a terrifying killing intent that instantly locked down all his escape routes.

Can't avoid it!

Chen Jie wanted to fire back.

But for a moment, he gave up!

Facing a top-tier ninja whose strength far surpasses his own, any resistance seems futile.

The opponent's Refining Spirit Realm had locked onto him.

At this moment, standing up and facing everything might make dying with a little more dignity!
Woohoo——!
A sharp, piercing sound, like a bolt of lightning, came from the Japanese samurai sword in the opponent's hand.

at this time,

Chen Jie could see the sharp killing intent in the other person's eyes, as well as their clear eyes.

Slash with the wind!
The female ninja's katana was aimed straight at Chen Jie's throat.

Her meteor dart had hit Chen Jie, but surprisingly, it hadn't caused any fatal injury.

Therefore,
She quickly realized that Chen Jie was wearing armor.

At that moment, the katana in her hand was almost touching Chen Jie's throat.

The blade was sharp and even emitted a deep blue light.

At the same time, Chen Jie saw the meteor dart from before, which also emitted a bright blue light.

Damn it——!
Extremely poisonous!

Unexpectedly, both the blade and the meteor dart were coated with a deadly poison.

at this time,

Chen Jie did not intend to continue dodging.

There's no way to avoid it!
The opponent's martial arts skills were several levels above mine, and even a gun couldn't threaten him.

The female ninja's slash was fleeting, and it looked like it was about to slice through Chen Jie's throat.

Clang——!
Just when things were at their most critical, a piercing sound rang out.

A slash from the side!
A touch of red amidst a sea of ​​purple!

The speed of this sword strike was like a celestial being descending from the heavens, striking the samurai sword in the female ninja's hand squarely!

Clang, clang, clang—!
The samurai sword and the longsword clashed violently, sparks flying everywhere.

The Japanese samurai sword was blocked by the longsword, grazing past Chen Jie's throat.

If Chen Jie hadn't been deflected by five centimeters, he would have been killed instantly.

Damn it——!
Finally, a master has come to my rescue!

Woohoo——!
Chen Jie was so excited he almost cried!

Only by experiencing life and death can one understand how fortunate it is to be alive.

Just a moment ago, he truly felt the breath of death.

The feeling of being completely controlled by the other party is truly terrifying!

If one survives, there will be future fortunes!
I must become stronger!

Chen Jie has never had such a firm belief in becoming stronger as he does now.

The female ninja gripped her Japanese katana, took five steps back, and coldly snorted:

"who?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman dressed in white appeared in front of Chen Jie.

She held a long sword in her hand, wore a bamboo hat, and had a light veil covering her face, making it impossible to see her features.

One black, one white!
This newly appeared woman stands in stark contrast to the Japanese female ninja.

at this time,

The woman in white said calmly, "Nakajima Shinobu! I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon!"
