Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 280 The Intent of Fist is Like Mercury! The Moment Breaks, but the Power Continues
After coming out of the alley.

The battle on Qingyun Street is over, and the Japanese Black Dragon Society has withdrawn.

Then, Xiong Chao, the leader of the Xiong tribe of Songjiang Prefecture, arrived with more than a thousand of his elite troops without stopping.

After confirming the battle situation on Qingyun Street, Xiong Chao's expression changed.

How could so many Japanese Black Dragon Society ninjas suddenly appear in Songjiang Prefecture?
After Chen Jie and Xiong Chao met up, they took stock of the losses.

Tang Feng, the captain of the personal guard, was injured. In this attack, a total of sixteen personal guards died, leaving eight remaining.

Nine of the elite members of the Japanese Black Dragon Society also died.

call--!
After Chen Jie finished counting, his expression turned serious.

More than fifty elite members of the Japanese Black Dragon Society infiltrated Qingyun Street in Songjiang Prefecture and launched an attack against him.

How did they know they would come to Qingyun Street?

His visit to Qingyun Street to inspect defenses was random and not planned in advance at all.

How does the Japanese Black Dragon Society know their patrol routes?
The Black Dragon Society's men infiltrated Songjiang Prefecture, so they must have known in advance that they had arrived.

Therefore,
How could they have more than fifty people lying in wait? Who arranged all of this in advance?
suddenly,
Chen Jie's expression grew increasingly grave as he recalled the assassination attempt on the Ximentang headquarters in Beijing.

The Taiping!?

Or is it the Green Gang?

Or were they the "treaty-ceding and peace-seeking faction" and the "surrender faction" within the imperial court?
Or perhaps the vassal kings of various regions of the Great Qian Dynasty, as well as those rebellious Jianghu forces?
From the moment I left Shandong and entered Songjiang Prefecture, I was already part of their scheme.

Someone wants to use the power of the Japanese Black Dragon Society to eliminate me!

"My lord! This attack was due to my dereliction of duty. I beg you to punish me!"

After confirming the scale of the attack, Xiong Chao felt a wave of fear wash over him.

He is largely to blame for this large-scale attack.

To know,
Currently, the garrison in Songjiang Prefecture is under the command of Xiong Chao.

The Black Dragon Society's attack took place in Songjiang Prefecture, and so many of its elite members had infiltrated the area.

To put it simply, Qingyun Street in Songjiang Prefecture has been thoroughly infiltrated.

Once the Japanese Sakata Army began its attack on Matsue Prefecture, the Black Dragon Society's elite forces suddenly launched an attack from within Matsue Prefecture.

With the combined forces from within and without, the troops stationed at Ximentang are going to suffer heavy losses.

Chen Jie shook his head and slowly said:
"It's none of your business! The Japanese are after me. Even if they don't launch the attack in Qingyun Street, they'll do it somewhere else."

"Hmph! Black Dragon Society! Since you want to play, I'll play with you to the very end—!"

-

Sasaki Jiro led his remaining troops and escaped from the forest.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the main force coming to their aid.

terrible!

He now feels a sense of fear towards the jungle.

The two squadrons were almost completely wiped out.

General Goro Higashimon was utterly shocked to see the disheveled Sasaki Jiro.

How could this be?
Why did the two squadrons suffer such a crushing defeat after entering the jungle?
Since arriving in the Great Qian Dynasty, the Eastern Empire has attacked the Great Qian army, faced the army of Northern Russia, and even the Western Allied Forces.

The Kwantung Army had never suffered such a great loss before.

The Sakata Army, in particular, was the elite force of the Kwantung Army.

Sakata's army had always been the one dominating the enemy, and had never suffered such a humiliating defeat.

Even when the Matsusaka Army attacked Qingdao, Shandong last time, they were defeated by the Ximentang coalition.

Although the Matsusaka Army suffered a crushing defeat, it was not like now, where almost all the remaining soldiers were terrified and their faces were filled with fear.

Higashimon Goro quickly instructed Sasaki Jiro and Suzuki Yuhei to report on their experience of entering the jungle to fight.

The two Kwantung Army companies entered the jungle in less than three hours.
More than 2,500 people went into the woods, but when they returned, less than 300 remained.

This time, the Kwantung Army's elite troops, equipped with heavy firepower, were sacrificed.

and,

Before entering the jungle, the Kwantung Army was equipped with heavily armored soldiers.

Ordinary firearms posed no threat to them whatsoever.

Later, the two squadrons joined forces and formed a bayonet formation, and they had already stabilized their position.

Unfortunately,

When they finally retreated out of the jungle, their formation suddenly fell apart.

When the snipers of the Ximentang Special Forces Regiment opened fire fiercely, the 'bayonet formation' defense was finally breached.

After hearing Sasaki Jiro's report, Higashimon Goro was so angry that he almost killed someone.

He had never suffered such a great loss when he led his troops to conquer the Great Qian Dynasty.

The elite troops of Ximentang, numbering several hundred, nearly annihilated two of his companies.

Just as he was about to fly into a rage and reprimand Sasaki Jiro and Suzuki Yuhei.

Suddenly, another team of Ximentang's elite special forces emerged from the jungle.

They used replica 98K sniper rifles to continuously snipe soldiers on the perimeter of the Kwantung Army.

provocative!

That's right, this is yet another provocation against the Kwantung Army.

For a while,
Dongmen Wulang was furious.

He quickly assembled his troops, intending to personally lead them into the jungle to annihilate all of Ximen Hall's elite forces.

but,

At this moment, Fujita Tsuyoshi, who was standing next to him, grabbed him tightly and shouted:

"General, please don't fall for their trap! The Daqian people are provoking us to anger you so they can defeat you one by one!"

"In the jungle, our main force cannot exert its full combat effectiveness!"

"It's very dangerous if you bring people in!"

Dongmen Wulang was one of the most outstanding generals in the Kwantung Army, so he naturally knew the purpose of Ximen Tang's Special Operations Group's provocation.

These people of the Great Qian Dynasty are too despicable and shameless!

They had already laid an ambush in the jungle, deliberately provoking them before splitting their forces and entering the jungle.

The surrounding terrain is treacherous; even if all 20,000 troops were to enter, it would probably be of no use.

"idiot--!"

Dongmen Wulang cursed angrily to calm himself down.

Although he has a volatile temper, he is not a fool.

After figuring it out, he naturally stopped insisting on going into the jungle.

but,

The main force of the Kwantung Army was ambushed by the elite troops of the Daqian Ximen Hall, which slowed down their march.

The plan to launch a swift raid on Songjiang Prefecture had to be abandoned.

It would be extremely difficult to annihilate this elite Ximentang Special Operations Regiment.

Rapid marches, once they enter open areas, make them easy targets for enemy artillery fire.

How to do?
Dongmen Wulang was extremely frustrated and at his wits' end.

On Fujita's advice, since the plan to quickly launch a surprise attack on Matsue Prefecture was no longer feasible, it was decided that...

They decided to set up camp on the spot, rest their troops, and wait for the arrival of the 80,000-strong Sakata army before deciding how to attack the city.

Dongmen Wulang had no choice but to follow Fujita Tsuyoshi's advice and order the entire army to set up camp and rest.

Before nightfall, the main force of the Sakata Army would arrive at this location.

Next,
Dongmen Wulang ordered his troops to strengthen the outer defenses and set up artillery and heavy machine guns.

If the Daqian army dares to provoke again, we will retaliate directly with artillery.

Liu Ergou and Xu Xiaodao, the two captains of the elite detachment, saw that the Kwantung Army had actually set up a 'turtle formation' and stationed themselves in place.

The two men ordered their troops to retreat, no longer daring to provoke the other side.

If the enemy launches an indiscriminate artillery attack, the team responsible for provoking the attack could easily suffer heavy losses.

Therefore,
They took the special operations regiment's scouts with them, leaving only a few to gather intelligence while the rest retreated.

When he realized that the Daqian army had retreated, Dongmen Wulang breathed a sigh of relief.

Given the current situation, a decision can only be made after Takeo Sakata arrives.

That afternoon.

Liu Ergou and Xu Xiaodao from the Ximentang Special Forces Regiment returned to Songjiang Prefecture.

After listening to Liu Ergou's report, Chen Jie nodded, satisfied with the special operations regiment's sniping performance.

From the moment the Ximentang Special Operations Regiment was established, Chen Jie placed high hopes on reconnaissance special forces.

These reconnaissance soldiers were selected according to the highest standards and have all undergone the most rigorous training.

Chen Jie devoted a great deal of energy and effort to the training of the special operations regiment, even as much as to the artillery regiment.

This ambush has finally paid off.

Although, in Chen Jie's opinion, compared with the special forces of the 'Urban World', Ximentang's reconnaissance special forces regiment currently seems somewhat amateurish.

but,

Compared to the current era, it should be considered the most elite army.

Moreover, in the time that followed, compared to Ximentang...

Special operations regiments will play an increasingly important role, not only carrying out sniping missions, but also serving as tactical implementers on the battlefield.

This battle,
The elite squadron of the special operations regiment mobilized a total of 600 people.

Although it was just a small test, the peak combat power he unleashed was truly remarkable.

Not only did they defeat more than 2,000 Daqian "puppet troops", they also killed more than 2,000 men from two companies of the Kwantung Army's elite "Sasaki Jiro" and "Suzuki Yuhei".

A big win!

Tie Niu, from the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of War, was deeply shocked upon learning of the achievements of the Ximentang Special Operations Regiment.

A special operations regiment of several hundred men, in the jungle, annihilated several thousand elite Japanese troops.

The most terrifying thing is that the battle losses are almost negligible.

but,

Chen Jie was still somewhat moved by the "bayonet formation" of the elite Japanese troops.

As expected of the Kwantung Army's elite force, they put up a tenacious resistance even when facing the sniping of the Ximentang Special Operations Regiment, almost leaving the Ximentang Special Operations Regiment helpless.

It seems that

We must not underestimate the Sakata Army of the Kwantung Army.

However, this time it was in the jungle, which limited the artillery of the Ximen Hall.

if not,

With artillery covering the entire area, neither of the two Kwantung Army companies could retreat.

Currently, Songjiang Prefecture does not have many replica 98K sniper rifles in service; they can only be issued to personnel of the special operations regiment.

Once the production capacity of the Ximentang Arsenal increases, we can consider expanding its use to the 'War Department,' 'Eagle Department,' and 'Bear Department.'

The most urgent task is to defeat the Sakata Army first.

Subsequently,

Chen Jie ordered the elite special forces of the Ximentang Special Operations Regiment to wipe out all the major forces and Japanese spies in Songjiang Prefecture.

Simultaneously,

Martial law was declared throughout the city, and the trenches and fortifications outside the city were reinforced once again!

-

Night falls.

Standing at the highest point of the Songjiang Prefecture military camp, one can have a bird's-eye view of the entire Songjiang Prefecture city.

The city was brightly lit, and the garrison at Ximentang was on high alert for the upcoming battle.

Chen Jie, residing in the governor's mansion at the Songjiang Prefecture military camp, had no interest in appreciating the night view of Songjiang Prefecture at this moment.

After the Black Dragon Society ninja assassination attempt during the day, he had no interest in strolling through the streets of Songjiang Prefecture.

now,

He sat casually on the bed in the governor's mansion, lost in thought.

In this half-day period,
He survived an assassination attempt by the Black Dragon Society ninjas of the East and also experienced the resonance of the 'Martial Saint Gate' in his mind.

His martial arts skill level has broken through to the mid-stage of Iron Bone Dark Force.

Simultaneously,

He has also broken through to the 'early stage of guarding the acupoints' in the Refining Spirit Realm, and his strength has increased dramatically!

but,

After calming down, he felt no joy, but rather deep worry about the future.

From Li Lingyue, Chen Jie learned that the Japanese Black Dragon Society was full of experts and that he had been placed on their kill list.

Nanzo Mitsuko, Yokoyama Sora, and other top-tier Black Dragon Society masters have all broken through to the Tongmai Gangjin level in martial arts!

Chen Jie was very clear about Cao Gonggong's strength.

They are comparable to Eunuch Cao; if they were to assassinate me, I would be in great danger even if I were in the military camp.

at this time,

Chen Jie felt a severe lack of security once again.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it. Anyway, the blood feud with the Japanese Black Dragon Society has already been formed!"

He sighed and looked towards the military camp.

In chaotic times, one is not in control of one's own destiny!
Either you kill someone else, or someone else kills you.

There is no right or wrong in any of this; everyone has their own perspective.

Next,
Chen Jie simply couldn't be bothered to think about these messy grudges.

As long as I have a clear conscience, that's enough. Since Ximentang rose to power, he has killed too many people and offended many others.

Debt is no burden, as long as you are strong enough.

there is always a solution to a problem!
He recalled the Vajra Skill he received from the Martial Saint Yan Kong after he resonated with the Martial Saint Sect.

Sink your Qi to your Dantian, and use the formless as the form!
"The momentum may break, but the power continues; the power may break, but the intention continues; the form may break, but the intention remains; the momentum may break, but the energy remains!"

The essence of the hidden force transmission from the Martial Saint resonated in his mind.

The application of internal force differs significantly from that of external force.

It advocates for a secondary exertion of force, creating a powerful shockwave that penetrates through the body.

The power of manifest strength lies in hardness, while the power of concealed strength lies in softness!
The balance of strength and gentleness, one strong and one gentle, embodies the way of heaven and earth.

Swish-!
Chen Jie got up from the bed and went to the courtyard of the governor's mansion.

He relaxed his fists, his muscles softened, and even his mental state began to relax.

call--!
The breath sinks to the dantian, and the punches are as soft as cotton.

He did not use the Chuojiao technique, nor the Henglian technique, nor the Yingzhao technique.

at this time,

He slowly began to practice the "Mighty Vajra Fist"!
Chuojiao (a martial arts style), Thirteen Taibao (another martial arts style), Eagle Claw Kung Fu, Iron Arm Fist, and Mighty Vajra Fist!
He could wield several martial arts techniques with ease and fluency.

It looks like,
His boxing style lacked any rules or structure, and was neither powerful nor domineering, nor did it possess any sinister force.

It's like an old lady in the park practicing her health-preserving boxing.

Soft and weak, yet the movements flowed smoothly, giving people a pleasing feeling.

The formless is the form, and the form is the formless!
This set of free-flowing boxing techniques, when performed by Chen Jie, gives people the feeling of 'Tai Chi'.

but,

As time went on, Chen Jie's movements became slower and slower.

but,

The surrounding atmosphere seemed to be stirred up by his fist technique.

The air seemed to transform into flowing water in the ocean, creating an indescribable barrier.

boom--!
At that moment, the air seemed to become viscous.

A powerful sense of oppression enveloped the surroundings.

The fist's intent forms a powerful posture, its hidden strength as soft as cotton!
The surrounding environment blends seamlessly with the artistic conception of the martial arts.

By merging the 'guarding the acupoints' posture with the intent of the fist, a powerful sense of oppression fills the surroundings and merges into the world.

The intent of the fist is like mercury!

This overwhelming sense of oppression made even Chen Jie feel suffocated, as if he couldn't breathe!
