Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 278 Martial Saint's Inheritance! Breaking Through the Guardian Aperture

The two women, both with graceful figures, had their faces veiled.

At this moment, the attack is ruthless, vicious, swift, and deadly.

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

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged over a hundred blows.

Each move is faster and more ruthless than the last!
One of them was a disciple of the first master of the Great Qian Dynasty, the "Master of the Startling Cloud Sword," and the other was a disciple of Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman in the East.

Both sides unleashed their full combat power, but neither could gain the upper hand.

Business was already slow on Qingyun Street in Songjiang Prefecture, and there weren't many people around.

Moreover, this was inside an alley. Apart from Chen Jie and Meng Hu, the other guards were outside the alley, engaged in a fierce battle with the Black Dragon Society ninjas.

Therefore,
The two women were now fighting fiercely, using all sorts of ruthless moves, and no one dared to intervene.

but,

As they became more and more familiar with each other's moves...

It has become more difficult to determine a winner.

Unable to do anything to Li Lingyue, Shinobu Nakajima suddenly turned and glanced at Chen Jie.

Whoosh-!
She slashed her katana horizontally forward, then with a powerful jerk, parried Li Lingyue's longsword.

Immediately afterwards, she pushed off with her feet, exerting force instantly, and approached Chen Jie like a bolt of lightning.

Swish!
next moment,
She reached forward and grabbed Chen Jie's wrist with perfect precision, pinpointing his pulse.

"Hiss—Let me go!"

Chen Jie was holding a gun, waiting for the right opportunity to make a few holes in this Japanese woman.

suddenly,
His sixth sense of danger had barely kicked in when his wrist was grabbed.

too fast!
It was so fast that he had no chance to retaliate.

Li Lingyue's attack speed was also fast, and she saw Nakajima Shinobu suddenly attack Chen Jie.

She lightly touched the ground with her feet and instantly arrived beside Chen Jie.

Next,
She held the longsword in one hand, and with the other hand, she reached forward and grabbed Chen Jie's other arm.

The two formed a balance with Chen Jie at the center.

Shinobu Nakajima gripped Chen Jie's wrist, and a chilling aura surged from her fingers along the meridians of his wrist into his body.

hiss--!
Chen Jie couldn't help but shudder.

I felt as if I had fallen into icy water, the cold chilling me to the bone.

what is this?
Could it be internal energy?!

There's no reason for that. I've been practicing the Vajra Skill for so long, and I've never been able to release any true qi.

Isn't internal energy a manifestation of intention?

Could this chilling aura be poison?

Damn it——!
Ruined!
Chen Jie was taken aback, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He wanted to move, wanted to fire, wanted to fight back!
but,

He suddenly realized that he was completely immobile and at the mercy of others.

Li Lingyue, standing beside her, was equally assertive, exerting force with her fingers.

boom--!
A warm current flowed down Chen Jie's arm and into his body.

The two had completely different internal energy levels.

One is cold, the other is hot!
After the two streams of true energy entered Chen Jie's body, they actually used his body as a battlefield and clashed fiercely.

this moment,
Chen Jie felt like he wanted to die, and he coughed up blood in frustration.

His body was fluctuating between hot and cold, like someone with a high fever suddenly falling into ice water.

Then, it was as if they had just come out of ice water and entered a furnace.

Shinobu Nakajima sneered:

"Li Lingyue, this ends here for today. You can't do anything to me!"

Whoosh!
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly pushed off with her feet, grabbed Chen Jie with one hand, and ran into the depths of the alley.

Li Lingyue gripped Chen Jie's arm tightly with one hand, not daring to let go.

Because at this moment, the two streams of true energy within Chen Jie's body have just reached a balance.

If she lets go, the balance will be broken, and Chen Jie's internal organs will be violently impacted, possibly even causing him to die on the spot.

Therefore,
She could only hold onto Chen Jie's arm, letting Nakajima Shinobu pull the two of them away at breakneck speed.

The three were incredibly fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Young Master—Young Master—!"

Meng Hu shouted and tried to give chase.

but,

Li Lingyue and Nakajima Shinobu's speed was unbelievable.

Meng Hu couldn't catch up; he could only watch helplessly as Nakajima Shinobu pulled the young master away.

After chasing for a few steps, he looked up at the alley, but there was no sign of the three people.
"Oh no! The young master has been taken away by Japanese ninjas! I must rush back to the military camp to report to Chief Xiong!"

Meng Hu felt a little panicked and rushed out of the alley.

next moment,
He went straight to the military camp in Songjiang Prefecture.

-

"let me go--!"

Chen Jie was captured by the two men and unable to move.

call--!
After shouting, he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Immediately afterwards, he struggled with his arms, trying to break free from the other person's restraint.

at this time,

He happened to be very close to Shinobu Nakajima. Although he couldn't exert any force with his arms, he could still move his head.

He simply leaned against Shinobu Nakajima's body to try and steady himself.

but,

This action stunned Shinobu Nakajima.

Chen Jie was pressing down on her vital parts.

Damn it——!
Chen Jie tried to gain leverage several times, but when he realized something was wrong, he finally understood.

"You bastard—!"

Shinobu Nakajima was about to slash at Chen Jie with his katana.

Clang, clang, clang—!
At that same moment, Li Lingyue also drew her sword.

The two women held Chen Jie's hand with one hand and brandished a samurai sword and a longsword with the other.

Chen Jie was completely unable to move and could only sway left and right with the back and forth of the two sides.

At that moment, he felt so depressed he wanted to die!

The fight between the two became increasingly intense, and if Chen Jie made a single mistake, he would be killed on the spot.

Swords and blades clashed continuously before his eyes.

Every minute, every second, Chen Jie was on the verge of death.

Unbeknownst to them, the three of them entered an abandoned mansion.

The two women were highly talented masters at the 'Great Perfection of Marrow Transformation and Energy Conversion' stage.

Their moves are unpredictable and elusive.

However, the internal energy of both sides achieved a balance within Chen Jie's body.

At first, Li Lingyue was worried that letting go would hurt Chen Jie.

but.

Now, even if she wanted to let go, she couldn't.

Once she lets go, she will suffer a backlash from the true energy, and may be seriously injured.

The same was true for Shinobu Nakajima; her katana nearly killed Chen Jie several times with a single strike.

but,

She achieved a perfect balance with Li Lingyue's true energy.

In this state, once Chen Jie, the core of the balance of true energy between the two sides, is killed, the balance will be broken, and she will inevitably suffer a backlash from the true energy.

Therefore,
The two fought faster and faster, but neither managed to injure Chen Jie in the slightest.

Chen Jie quickly calmed down, but the clash between the two streams of true energy within his body was causing him immense pain!
Ice and Fire - Nine Heavens!

His body felt as if it had fallen into a furnace on one side and an ice cellar on the other, rendering him unable to move.

His internal organs were being violently washed away by the two streams of true energy, and his whole body felt like it was about to explode.

What made Chen Jie extremely uncomfortable was that his mind was very clear, and his pain was amplified infinitely.

Just then, Shinobu Nakajima's icy aura surged into his dantian.

boom--!
"what--!"

Chen Jie felt the pain in his dantian and completely broke down.

He felt like he was about to explode, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Then,

Li Lingyue's warm breath simultaneously flowed into his dantian.

The two forces were once again entangled within his dantian.

"Life form! There is no life form, the self is not a form, the form of a person, the form of all sentient beings—!"

hum!
The internal energy cultivation method of "Diamond Skill" exploded in his mind.

call--!
Chen Jie took a deep breath and focused his attention.

at this time,

He felt as if two snakes were constantly moving within his dantian.

The tearing pain and the feeling that my whole body was about to explode were excruciating.

Even with his mastery of the 'Inner Vision Great Perfection' realm of spiritual refinement, he found it difficult to calm down at this moment and could not bear the tearing pain.

boom--!
As the Vajra Kung Fu resonated in his mind, he focused his mind and forced himself to calm down.

Then,

The pain finally subsided, and he used all his strength to circulate the Vajra Skill, which actually suppressed the two streams of true energy in his dantian.

In an instant, he entered a state of clarity!
As Li Lingyue and Nakajima Shinobu unleashed their powerful internal energy, they clashed fiercely within Chen Jie's dantian.

Chen Jie suddenly sat down cross-legged.

Everything around him disappeared from his mind.

No more pain, no distracting thoughts, everything is empty!
"not good--!"

Li Lingyue and Nakajima Shinobu were taken aback, feeling their true energy uncontrollably flowing into Chen Jie's body at that moment.

Unable to move!

That's right,

The situation has reversed, and the two masters at the "Great Perfection of Marrow Transformation and Power Transformation" level are now unable to move.

They never expected that Chen Jie would be able to enter a state of meditation while their true energy was clashing!

Heaven and earth unite as one!

Meditation!

That's right, this is the second time Chen Jie has entered a meditative state.

The last time was when Linghu Qiannian helped him perform the 'Golden Needle Acupuncture Technique', during which he entered a meditative state.

Similar to the Taoist concept of "sudden enlightenment," this is the state of enlightenment in Esoteric Buddhism.

boom--!
The 'Martial Saint Sect' in Chen Jie's mind shook violently at this moment, resonating with him!
Martial Saint Sect!
This is the fundamental principle behind Chen Jie's martial arts training.

He was able to travel to this 'other world' because the 'Martial Saint Sect' within the Blood Dragon Jade manifested!
To resonate with the 'Martial Saint Sect', certain conditions must be met.

Chen Jie tried more than once to activate the resonance of the 'Martial Saint Sect' so that he could break through.

but,

He never succeeded even once.

Activating the resonance of the 'Martial Saint Sect' is not governed by any rules; everything depends on specific conditions.

It is clear,
As Li Lingyue and Nakajima Shinobu's internal energy entered Chen Jie's dantian...

For a while,
Chen Jie finally activated the resonance of the 'Martial Saint Sect'.

At this moment, his spiritual refinement advanced by leaps and bounds, and his willpower began to transform and sublimate!

Li Lingyue and Nakajima Shinobu's expressions changed completely. They struggled to let go and escape their predicament.

This state of being unable to control their own destiny left them feeling lost and helpless.

but,

Under the resonance of the 'Martial Saint Sect', Chen Jie entered 'Meditation'!
Everything around us came to a standstill.

The two exchanged a glance, and saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

Entering samadhi without Zen!

How could this be?
This kid actually entered a state of 'non-meditation' at this moment?
The moment Chen Jie resonated with his willpower at the 'Martial Saint Gate'.

He entered an extremely mysterious state.

Om-!
this moment,
His body seemed to float in the air, entering the endless starry sky.

Looking out, the sky is filled with stars!

He was like a fog, unable to feel his own body.

but,

The resonance between the consciousness and the Martial Saint Sect was completely different from any previous one.

He could feel himself drifting between heaven and earth, even wandering in the vast void, rapidly moving towards the starry sky.

The stars in the void became clearer and clearer in his eyes.

Finally, what came into view were statues one after another.

Then,

He saw that each statue represented a star.

These statues sit hovering in the void, their hands posed in various ways, forming a huge ball of light.

Chen Jie only needs to get close to these orbs of light and touch them with his fingers.

boom--!
With a loud explosion, the ball of light burst apart, then coalesced and enveloped him.

Immediately afterwards, as the ball of light disappeared, the statue also gradually faded and slowly vanished into the void.

Chen Jie looked up at the scene before him and was completely dumbfounded.

His mind was filled with a turbulent storm, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

These statues must be of the Martial Saint!
hiss--!
at this time,

The statues amidst a sky full of stars brought Chen Jie an indescribable sense of awe.
He finally witnessed the true power of the Martial Saint!
Those clusters of light formed by countless stars, and the numerous statues surrounding them, must be the manifestation of the Martial Saint's spiritual will!

The 'Martial Saint Sect' in his mind is also a condensation of the Martial Saint's willpower.

Everything in the void should be the Martial Saint's sea of ​​consciousness.

All the stars and statues before my eyes are actually the martial saint's understanding of martial arts.

Each time a ball of light is shattered, it seems that the Martial Saint's insights into martial arts can be absorbed.

Looking at the endless stars, this is a treasure trove of martial arts knowledge.

perhaps--

This is not the martial arts insights and understanding of a martial saint, but the martial arts imprint left by all martial artists who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts and entered the martial arts sect.

What incredible supernatural power this is!
Chen Jie pondered for a moment and soon understood why the Martial Saint had disappeared from this world.

That's right,

Even in the 'other world', Chen Jie had inquired many times and consulted a great deal of information.

but,

There is no true 'Martial Saint' in historical records!
The Martial Saint's immense power and willpower have enabled him to shatter the layers of the void.

The current world rules cannot accommodate the power of a Martial Saint!
Therefore,
Any martial artist who steps into the Martial Saint Sect and reaches the Martial Saint realm will be rejected by the power of the world's rules and will have to break through the void to leave.

Chen Jie remained silent for a moment, then looked at the statue closest to him.

He took a deep breath and came to a ball of light again, carefully examining the statue in front of him.

In the entire void, there was nothing but the countless star-like orbs of light surrounding the statues.

This is not the real world, but a manifestation of Chen Jie's consciousness after the 'Martial Saint Sect' in his mind resonated with his willpower.

Next,
With a thought, Chen Jie shattered another ball of light.

The statue quickly shattered, turning into a beam of light that enveloped him.

I don’t know how long has passed——

Chen Jie was completely enveloped in the ball of light.

It could be a year, a month, a day, or even a second!
Chen Jie himself didn't know how much time had passed.

He opened his eyes, and the light on his body surface quickly receded and entered his body.

at the same time,

His aura grew stronger and stronger at that moment.

Compared to the countless stars in the sky, Chen Jie appears extremely small.

but,

After absorbing the essence of a statue, he found himself slowly merging with his surroundings, becoming one with them!
This process seemed to last a very long time, yet it also felt very short!
