Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Before this, Chen Jie had learned some things from his conversation with Li Lingyue.

In the martial arts world, there are very few experts who have mastered the "Meridian-Opening Qi".

This includes major forces such as the Green Gang, the Brotherhood, the Taiping Gang, and the Hongmen.

Their leader's highest level of martial arts is only the "Great Perfection of Blood-Moving Pill Strength".

Once a master of "Tongmai Gangjin" appears in the martial arts world, they will be targeted by the imperial court.

In order to maintain absolute control, the imperial court does not allow any martial arts practitioners to reach the level of "Tongmai Gangjin" or higher.

Therefore,
Once a person in the martial arts world breaks through to the 'Meridian Opening Qi' level, they will retire from the martial arts world and never appear again.

Just like Zhao Hong of the Taiping, who retired behind the scenes and let his son Zhao Tianba take over as the leader of the Taiping.

Otherwise, they could only join the Grand Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel.

Refusing to join the inner palace of the Great Qian Dynasty will lead to death.

This was true not only for the Great Qian Dynasty, but also for the Eastern Empire.

The major families of the Eastern Empire firmly control the various forces in the East.

Once a martial artist's martial arts level breaks through to the 'Meridian Opening Qi' stage, they must join the Black Dragon Society or the Emperor's faction.

Otherwise, Miyamoto Musashi's top fighters would definitely have destroyed it.

Any superpower needs to maintain dominance over martial arts among the common people and cannot allow any super masters who can threaten their position to emerge.

Even Chen Jie is the same.

Don't let his current status as a prince consort fool you; he's on the same side as Emperor Li Zheng.

but,

Once his martial arts skills break through to the 'Meridian Opening Qi' level, he will be able to pose a threat to the Imperial Guard.

The attitudes of top imperial experts such as the Sword Master of Jingyun, Guan Shanyue, Xue Yin, and Cao Shaoqing towards him will undergo a dramatic change.

so,

There are very few experts in the martial arts world who possess the "Tongmai Gangjin" skill.

They would either be killed, exiled overseas, or imprisoned in a dungeon.

The reason why this woman was imprisoned in the dungeon remains a mystery.

Or perhaps she was injured in the past.

Otherwise, with her strength, she could practically do whatever she wanted in Taiwan, and who could stop her?
It should be noted that on the day of Chen Jie's wedding in the capital, both the personal guards and the top experts of the Great Qian Palace were on high alert.

Even so, the two super strong members of the Japanese Black Dragon Society, Nanzo Mitsuko and Yokoyama Sora, still managed to escape.

It is extremely difficult to capture or kill a master of the "Meridian Opening Qi".

"You want me to be the sharpest blade under your command?"

The white-haired woman looked up and sized Chen Jie up and down, her gaze very calm.

She suppressed her murderous intent and stopped using hypnosis.

but,

Beneath her calm exterior, a violent killing intent lurked like a volcano, ready to erupt.

"Do you have the qualifications to be my master?"

“Young man, you are quite confident, actually wanting to control a ‘Meridian Opening Qi’ expert.”

"Judging from your martial arts cultivation, you are only at the late stage of 'Marrow Transformation and Energy Conversion', and you are still slightly short of the Great Perfection of Energy Conversion."

"You really dare to restore my freedom? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"Judging from your accent, you're from Daqian. Why have you come to Taiwan?"

"Your martial arts skills are not high, but you are quite bold. That's interesting. Tell me, who are you? Let's see if you are qualified for me to serve you."

The white-haired woman asked slowly and deliberately.

She had so many questions in her mind, and she never imagined that she would see the light of day again.

Chen Jie smiled calmly and said:
Who I am is unimportant, and you don't need to know who I am!

"In my eyes, you are nothing more than a sharp knife. I can give you freedom and let you leave this dark and hopeless prison. That's enough!"

"As for why you are being held here, I have no interest in knowing."

"From today onwards, you are only responsible for me."

"I'll tell you who to kill, and you'll kill them. No reason needed!"

"If you work for me, I won't treat you badly!"

Chen Jie's tone was very calm, but he exuded an air of authority that made it impossible for anyone to resist.

This is not the pressure of mental power.

Rather, it is an aura that naturally develops after holding a high position for a long time.

to be frank,
Upon seeing the white-haired woman, he became even more determined to carry out his plan.

"interesting!"

The white-haired woman looked Chen Jie up and down, a smile appearing on her face.

Her hair originally covered her entire body.

But now,

She parted her hair with her hands, revealing her face.

Baby face!
Indeed, no one expected that this white-haired woman would have such a baby face.

You can't tell her age from her face.

However, judging from the aura emanating from her, one could sense that she was definitely not young, perhaps even older than Cao Shaoqing.

But her face looked like that of a ten-year-old girl.

He had a youthful face but white hair, and was extremely thin.

It must be said that the white-haired woman's expression at this moment gave people an extremely eerie feeling.

"Young man, I'm a little worried about myself now, you know?"

“I fear that the first thing I’ll do after I get out of here is to rip out your heart and taste your blood.”

"With your martial arts skills, I admire you for daring to come to the lowest level of the Heavenly Prison all by yourself!"

"There are many people in the prison passage; they are all your subordinates, aren't they?"

"I think you'd better let everyone in to protect your safety. That way, I'll have something to worry about and won't easily lay a hand on you."

“Otherwise, I’m really worried that I won’t be able to control myself. I haven’t killed anyone in a long time, and you’ve successfully ignited my desire to kill.”

She was talking as if it were something completely unrelated to herself.

but,

The murderous intent in her tone was chilling.

Chen Jie was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Next,
He realized what was happening and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

have to say,

This white-haired, youthful-looking woman was arrogant, haughty, and extremely conceited.

Top-tier experts are generally unconventional in personality.

She has the right to be arrogant.

"I am very satisfied with you. I believe that in the time to come, you will become a hidden weapon of Ximentang that everyone will fear!"

Click——!
finished,

Chen Jie used his hands to unlock the prison cell.

Having just absorbed the internal energy of 'Tianyi', his aura was radiating outwards.

His hand rested on the lock, and he easily twisted it off.

A piercing sound rang out.

After breaking the iron lock, Chen Jie casually tossed it aside.

He acted very casually, as if he wasn't putting in much effort.

Infinite power!

This is the outward manifestation of the "Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Training" after it has broken through to a certain level.

This scene caused the white-haired, youthful-looking woman to frown slightly.

The locks used to forge prison mechanisms are made of cast iron, which is extremely hard.

But in the hands of this young man, it broke like a twisted rope.

How could this be?
Could it be that he was hiding his true strength?

With a cultivation level of Yi Sui Hua Jin, it's impossible to possess such terrifying power.

Why does this kid give me such a strong sense of crisis?
They weren't hiding their true strength!

Judging from the aura emanating from him, he was only at the Yi Sui Hua Jin realm.

He did not condense the Dan Jin (internal energy)!
Although his internal strength was incredibly profound, the aura of his Dan Jin realm was completely different from that of Yi Sui Hua Jin.

The white-haired woman with a youthful face asked herself, "I absolutely cannot be mistaken."

what is the problem?

"Come out! The prison doors are open, you are free!"

Chen Jie smiled calmly at the white-haired woman.

At this time,

The white-haired woman with a youthful face suddenly focused her gaze.

become free!
She couldn't help but take a deep breath, look up at the prison door that Chen Jie had opened, and then scrutinize Chen Jie again for a moment.

Whoosh-!
Next, she pushed off with her feet, and her body shot forward instantly.

Wow, that's fast!
Like a hurricane, her figure flashed, as if she had teleported, and she appeared outside the prison door.

She stopped at the prison gate and turned to look at the place where she had spent so many years.

Do not know why,

The white-haired woman suddenly squatted down and began to sob.

Her sobs were like a ghost in the darkness, sending chills down one's spine.

Finally, I can leave this awful place.

She originally thought that she was destined to never leave this place in her life.

She has already given up on everything.

But she cannot die.

She still harbors a deep-seated hatred and an obsession with not dying.

She has survived until now only because of the hatred in her heart.

Many times, she had already given up on herself.

But she was unwilling to die like this!
Unexpectedly, she now has the opportunity to leave this place.

Whoosh-!
next moment,
The white-haired woman took a few steps back, moving away from the prison gate and also increasing the distance between herself and Chen Jie.

She originally didn't care at all about Chen Jie's martial arts skills.

but,

When she sensed a deadly threat, she became wary and fearful of Chen Jie.

Although this young man's martial arts level was not high, his spiritual refinement level was no weaker than hers.

What terrified her even more was that her hypnosis was ineffective on Chen Jie.

Chen Jie smiled calmly, seemingly unconcerned about the white-haired woman's reaction.

He knew very well that this white-haired, youthful-looking woman had been imprisoned in a dark and hopeless dungeon for many years.

Her personality has become twisted, and she has long lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

To survive, she could kill at any time without any scruples.

but,

Although her martial arts skills were very high, she was in an extremely weak state.

If Chen Jie dared to release her, he must be confident he could deal with her!
"Do you still have your memory? Can you remember your name?"

Chen Jie stared at the white-haired, youthful-looking woman and asked calmly.

It looks like,
He didn't seem worried that the white-haired woman would hurt him, nor that she would escape.

Just kidding. There are four consecutive checkpoints throughout the entire prison passage, and the Ximen Hall's men are on high alert.

Not only were guards stationed there, but heavy machine guns were also set up.

Outside the prison, Ximen Hall's elite special forces stood ready.

Let alone the fact that the prisoners in the dungeon are already on their last legs, even if they were in their prime, they wouldn't be able to leave without permission.

Chen Jie was wearing titanium alloy chainmail and high-voltage electric gauntlets on his fists.

With adequate preparation and both parties at the same level of Spirit Refinement, he naturally doesn't need to worry about the other party harming him.

"Miao Feng! Ten years ago, my legend should have been left in the martial arts world of the Great Qian Dynasty."

The white-haired woman looked up at Chen Jie, her tone indifferent.

Although her heart was filled with boundless killing intent.

but,

From any perspective, the young man in front of her gave her freedom and released her from this dark and hopeless prison.

Therefore,
She did not act immediately, but calmly answered Chen Jie's question.

"Early stage of the Meridian Opening Qi! Your martial arts cultivation is very strong, although it is still slightly inferior to the Grand Eunuchs of the Imperial Palace."

"However, with your current strength, you are capable of meeting my requirements!"

A smile appeared on Chen Jie's face; he was very satisfied with her.

“That ‘Yan San’ just now was the first swordsman assassin under my command.”

"But you are far superior to him, and you can become the strongest sword under my command."

"From now on, you will be the leader of my 'death squad' and become one of the strongest forces in my Ximen Hall."

"Tianjiu's blade sweeps across the martial world of the Great Qian Dynasty!"

“Experts with ‘Pulse Opening and Qi Refining’ are rare in the martial arts world, let alone a woman like you, which is extremely rare and surprises me!”

Although he was the head of Ximen Hall.

but,

He knew little about the martial arts world of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Therefore,
He had never heard of the name Miao Feng before.

In the martial arts world of the Great Qian Dynasty ten years ago, who would pay attention to figures from such a distant past?

Even in the current martial arts world of the Great Qian Dynasty, Chen Jie knows very few top experts.

He only interacted with the top experts in the Great Qian Dynasty's inner palace, so he naturally didn't care much about those Jianghu people.

Miao Feng's gaze suddenly sharpened, and a murderous intent gathered around him.

"If I hadn't been injured back then, I wouldn't have left Daqian and fled overseas, let alone been captured by the Dutch and imprisoned in this godforsaken place called Wandao."

"Of course, it's also my fault for being too arrogant, thinking that the Japanese Black Dragon Society's cooperation with the Taiping was nothing special!"

"I just didn't expect the Japanese to send two top experts to hunt me down and poison me beforehand. It's really despicable!"

"I will kill Zhao Hong of the Taiping!"

"Boy, I'm grateful to you for letting me go and giving me my freedom!"

"So, I won't kill you! Go now. If you want me to work for you, I'm afraid your life isn't tough enough!"

boom--!
finished,

Miao Feng exuded a terrifying killing intent, her gaze sharp.

Her hair was completely white, and it moved on its own even without wind!

this moment,
The aura of a master of "Meridian-Opening Qi" erupted powerfully from her, revealing her sharp edge and boundless power!

unfortunately,

Chen Jie seemed completely oblivious to the murderous intent she was radiating.

He smiled and said:
"Zhao Hong of the Taiping? So you're imprisoned here because you have a grudge against Zhao Hong?"

"Do you remember how many years you've been locked up here?"

When Chen Jie heard that the other person was imprisoned here because of the Taiping, he couldn't help but laugh.

The Taiping was shot down by its own ship and is now running around in disarray; no one knows where it has hidden itself.

Not only the Taiping, but also the Green Gang, no longer dared to appear in Songjiang Prefecture and the coastal areas of eastern Zhejiang.

In particular, when Ximentang was suppressing the rebels in eastern Zhejiang, he killed many high-ranking members of the Green Gang and the Taiping Gang.

This white-haired woman, imprisoned in the prison in Taoyuan, Taiwan for so long, has managed to maintain such terrifying combat power.

have to say,

The cultivation method she practiced must be very special, which surprised Chen Jie.

"Ten years! I've been stuck in this godforsaken place for ten years, observing the changes in the underground river's flow!"

Miao Feng took a deep breath and said with a profound look in her eyes:

"Alright! To thank you for letting me go, I'll spare your life today!"

"Young man, we'll meet again someday. I'll come back to find you after I've avenged my blood feud!"

Swish-!
After saying that, she took two steps forward, preparing to leave the prison.

She hadn't considered taking action against Chen Jie because she had just escaped and was recovering.

in addition,

Chen Jie always gave her a strong sense of crisis, making her afraid to act rashly.

at this time,

She felt she had recovered enough to leave.

However, Chen Jie smiled calmly and said:

"Wait a minute, are you just going to leave like this?"

"Originally, seeing that you were a woman, I didn't intend to absorb your power, nor did I want to resort to violence against you."

"But now, I've changed my mind!"

"As I just told you, I'm going to forge you into the sharpest blade under my command."

"I'm not joking with you—!"

Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jie took two steps forward at an angle.

In an instant,
His figure approached Miao Feng, and then he swung his claw forward.

Dragon claw hand!
This is a secret technique of the Imperial Palace, unpredictable and capable of unleashing a sky full of dragon claws.

Its claws strike with lightning speed, like a net spread across the sky, unpredictable and beyond the comprehension of gods and demons.

of course,

Chen Jie never intended to use the 'Dragon Claw Hand' to capture his opponent.

He relied on the speed of this claw strike to make his fingers make contact with the opponent's body.

boom!
next moment,
Chen Jie's hand collided with Miao Feng's leg, which she kicked out in an instant.

boom--!
Miao Feng felt a buzzing in her brain, and all her strength instantly dissipated.

Then,

Her body was trembling violently, just like the previous 'Yan San'.

Who can withstand the power of a 10,000-volt high voltage?

The powerful voltage instantly destroyed everything she had.

Even with her cultivation level, she was still paralyzed by the electric shock when caught off guard.

and,

Just as her defenses were breached by the high-voltage electricity.

Chen Jie's 'Spirit Stealing' instantly seized the opportunity, suppressing her willpower with his mental energy.

at the same time,

The internal energy cultivation method of "Diamond Kung Fu".

It was as if a raging fire had ignited within Miao Feng's body, burning and assimilating her internal energy!

Bang, bang, bang—!
Next,
Chen Jie didn't give the other party any chance to react at all.

He used the most domineering method to directly destroy the opponent's mental willpower and forcibly imprint his mark on the opponent's consciousness.

The internal energy cultivation method of "Diamond Skill" instantly took root in her dantian, transforming her true energy.

boom--!
Inside the deepest part of the imperial prison, a terrifying shockwave erupted. (End of Chapter)
