Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Clang!
Chen Jie repelled Hengshan Kong with a single sword strike, and without pausing, he suddenly slashed forward.

Wuji Sword Technique - Meteor Chasing the Moon!
This sword strike was faster than the limit, moving suddenly and making it impossible to defend against.

at the same time,

His spiritual sense locked onto Yokoyama Sora's vital point, and the killing intent condensed in his sword grew stronger and stronger.

The fusion state of the Refining Spirit Realm and the Limitless Sword Technique.

at the same time,

Just as his sword strike was about to reach Yokoyama Sora, the sword tip suddenly turned, instantly changing the direction of the attack.

Seal the throat with one sword!
That's right,

From beginning to end, Chen Jie's sword strikes were aimed at Yokoyama Sora's throat.

The attack on the heart was merely a feint.

As Yokoyama Sora bent over, his katana came into a blocking stance.

Chen Jie's sword strike aimed straight for his opponent's throat.

Clang, clang, clang—!
Yokoyama Karate unleashed the "Reverse Flow Slash" technique to its limit with her katana, using her formidable martial arts skills to once again clash head-on with Chen Jie's "Extreme Sword Stance"!
His katana and ninja movements were perfectly integrated, making his defense as solid as an impenetrable wall.

After parrying the attack, he leaned back, instantly creating distance.

A series of changes allowed him to avoid Chen Jie's deadly sword strike to the throat.

at this time.

Chen Jie flicked his longsword upwards, like swinging on a swing, aiming straight for Yokoyama Sora's vital point between the eyebrows.

Limitless Sword Technique - Raging Seas!

Woohoo——!
The incomparably sharp sword intent was like a hurricane sweeping across the sea, so intense that Yokoyama Sora couldn't even open his eyes.

The most terrifying aspect of the Wuji Sword Technique is that its sword moves are unpredictable and impossible to trace.

Each of its sword strikes seems to break free from the constraints of heaven and earth, making it impossible to defend against.

If Yokoyama Sora were hit by this 'Raging Sea' attack.

Then,

His head will be pierced through by a sword, or even split in two.

Clang!

The piercing clang of metal echoed throughout the surrounding area.

Yokoyama Karate's katana flashed out at an unbelievable angle in an instant, forming a blocking stance.

The movement was incredibly fast, like a willow branch swaying in the wind, and it just blocked Chen Jie's longsword.

but.

Chen Jie's "Raging Sea" Wuji Sword Style was charged to its limit, brimming with boundless killing intent.

The power of the third level of the Sword Saint's ultimate technique was fully displayed under Chen Jie's sword.

Although Yokoyama Sora's Japanese samurai sword blocked Chen Jie's "Raging Sea" attack.

but,

The powerful shockwave made the area between his thumb and forefinger go numb.

Puff-!
Immediately afterwards, Yokoyama Sora's body flew backward and crashed heavily five meters away.

Chen Jie's "Limitless Sword Technique" is a perfect blend of man and sword, containing an invincible aura capable of severing a soul with a single strike.

Any obstacle will be destroyed with a single sword strike!
Although Yokoyama Sora blocked the sword strike, he could not withstand the shockwave contained within the sword technique.

In an instant, Yokoyama Sora's aura was suppressed by the sword intent.

Although his martial arts skill level was a whole realm higher than Chen Jie's.

but,

After several rounds of fierce fighting, the two sides found themselves at a disadvantage.

He launched a series of counterattacks using the Japanese sword technique "Reverse Flow Slash," but all of them were suppressed by Chen Jie's "Limitless Sword Technique."

"Baka! You're not using the 'Surprising Cloud Sword Technique'!"

Yokoyama Sora roared, his hand gripping the katana trembling slightly.

this moment,
He finally realized that the young man in front of him was only at the mid-stage of the 'Blood Pill Force' realm in terms of martial arts power exertion.

but,

His swordsmanship is terrifying, and his peak combat strength far surpasses that of experts at the Blood Pill Force realm.

If you underestimate your opponent and become careless, you may be killed by their sword.

A strong sixth sense of crisis made Yokoyama Sora feel a life-or-death crisis.

Huff—huff—!
He took deep breaths repeatedly to restore his condition and raise his fighting spirit to the limit.

Swish!
The next moment, he lowered his center of gravity, bent his legs slightly, and held the samurai sword at an angle downwards.

Then,

He moved sideways with a swift, almost gliding motion through a flowerbed, instantly arriving beside Chen Jie.

He swung the knife and thrust it straight at Chen Jie's vital heart!

Japanese Kendo – Shinto Munen-ryu!

Woohoo——!
The air seemed to have been completely cleaved open by a knife, producing a piercing roar.

This is a kendo style founded in the Edo period of Japan, renowned for its combination of power and speed.

Simultaneously,

Shinto Munen-ryu is one of the three major sword styles of the late Toyotomi era, centered on simple, direct, and efficient sword techniques.

In Japan, the way of the sword is the way of the kendo, and the way of the kendo is the way of the sword!
The design of the Japanese samurai sword originally combined the functions of a sword and a blade.

Although traditionally, a knife is single-edged and a sword is double-edged, the Japanese martial art of swordsmanship integrates the two.

at this time,

Chen Jie had reached the limit of his 'Mid-Stage Mind Refinement' realm.

His spiritual senses were firmly locked onto Yokoyama Sora, and every move the other party made was manifested in his mind.

Therefore,
He could clearly predict the direction of Yokoyama Sora's 'Shinto Munen-ryu' sword technique attack.

not to mention,
His footwork and swordsmanship have achieved a perfect balance between offense and defense.

The moment Yokoyama Sora approached Chen Jie.

He suddenly exerted force with his feet and retreated rapidly.

Thump thump thump—!
After retreating five steps, he braced his foot against the ground and thrust his sword diagonally upwards.

Limitless Sword Technique - Falling Flowers Without a Trace!
A flash of sword light appeared, disappearing in an instant, as it met Yokoyama Sora's blade head-on.

A fierce clash between a longsword and a Japanese samurai sword!
Yokoyama slashed down with his katana, the force exploding instantly.

boom--!
A loud sound echoed throughout the surrounding area.

Yokoyama Sora concentrated all his power into his sword strike, creating a surge of energy around him.

this moment,
His arm swelled with blood, and the katana in his hand transformed into a streak of light, swift as lightning, striking without a trace.

The power of this strike merged everything around it, transforming it into a single blade intent.

It was like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, making a terrifying roar.

Yokoyama Sora's sword strike was a closely guarded secret of the Yokoyama family of the East – Meteor Slash!

Chop, hack, slice, stab!
The four martial arts techniques are integrated into one, merging with the intent of the sword.

The movements were fierce, ruthless, and domineering, and they were fleeting.

Yokoyama Sora's strike was powerful enough to cleave a bronze statue in two instantly, cutting it in two with a single stroke.

Even a large tree that can be embraced by two arms will be cleaved in two with a single stroke.

If this strike landed on Chen Jie, even if he had mastered the Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Training to a high level, he would still be killed instantly.

This is the most terrifying Japanese Shinto Munen-ryu sword technique. It has no fancy moves and emphasizes using brute force to overcome skill and attacking and killing with speed!

This 'Meteor Slash' is one of Yokoyama Sora's strongest sword techniques, executed without any reservations.

When he was locked in a fierce battle with his opponent, he unleashed this meteor-like killing move the moment he took to the air.

Regardless of whether the opponent manages to block or not, they will be severely injured by this strike.

obviously,
At this moment, Yokoyama Sora regarded Chen Jie as an opponent of equal strength and dared not be careless in the slightest.

Because the 'Meteor Slash' is extremely powerful, it is a guaranteed kill, and it requires the user to leap into the air to unleash the sword's momentum.

Therefore,
Under normal circumstances, Yokoyama Sora rarely uses this ultimate move.

Only when pushed to the brink by his opponent, facing adversity and feeling a life-or-death crisis, will he unleash this deadly move without hesitation.

Chen Jie's Limitless Sword Technique [Extreme State], with its "Falling Flowers Without a Shadow" technique, instantly forced Hengshan Kong into a desperate situation.

If Yokoyama Sora continues to be suppressed by Chen Jie's swordsmanship, the situation will be irreversible.

Then,

The sword intent of the Wuji Sword Technique will gradually increase and become stronger, leaving him with no chance to turn the tide.

Yokoyama Sora is the leader of the Black Dragon Society, and his skills are unfathomable.

He is neither like Sarutobi Sasaki, whom Chen Jie killed, nor like Tianjiu Miaofeng.

Although Chen Jie's Refining Spirit Realm is the same as Yokoyama Sora's, with his current level of martial arts power exertion, the chance of killing a powerhouse at the Meridian Opening Qi Realm is very small.

This powerful 'Meteor Slash' clashed head-on with Chen Jie's 'Falling Flowers Without a Trace'.

The moment Chen Jie's longsword clashed with the Japanese samurai sword, he immediately felt a terrifying shockwave emanating from the sword.

It's as if all your vital points have been completely locked onto by the other party, leaving you with no way to escape.

This intense sense of life-or-death crisis made Chen Jie feel suffocated and his scalp tingled.

at the same time,

He felt his hand gripping the sword hilt go numb from the shock, almost causing the sword to slip from his grasp.

It was like a sword striking the hardest stone; the powerful rebound felt like your bones were about to shatter.

If it were any other expert, facing such a fierce 'Meteor Slash' from Yokoyama Sora, they would definitely avoid its edge and choose to retreat and create distance.

but,

Chen Jie is a martial artist who has experienced life-or-death battles and is extremely experienced.

At this point, neither side can back down.

Moreover, at the moment of unleashing a killing move, one must possess an invincible spirit, being faster, fiercer, and more ruthless than the opponent in order to remain undefeated.

Faced with a super strong expert like Yokoyama Sora, who was at the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, he felt fear once he retreated.

Then, death is not far away.

The sword intent of the Wuji Sword Technique absolutely forbids retreat!
Even if your heart is about to be pierced by a knife, you must never have any thoughts of dodging or retreating.

Especially in the clash of sword intent between the two sides, once the momentum drops, death is certain!

this moment,
Chen Jie gripped his longsword tightly, his gaze extremely solemn, and his energy focused in his dantian.

The sword in his hand suddenly changed direction, like a streak of light, stabbing down towards Yokoyama Sora's center line.

at this time,

His muscles were relaxed, but his strength was concentrated in his palms.

Loose is tight, and tight is loose!
The sword intent gathers and condenses on the blade.

One sword turns the tide!

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, this sword strike landed lightly on Yokoyama Sora's blade.

Use the force to counteract the shock!

The timing of this sword strike was extremely clever and precise.

The sword technique 'Falling Flowers Without a Shadow' is executed with a light touch of the sword, the movements flowing smoothly and effortlessly, like a stroke of genius.

What's astonishing is that this sword move was incredibly gentle, using softness to overcome hardness, instantly neutralizing Yokoyama Sora's Meteor Slash finishing move.

This is the combined sword stance of the "Limitless Sword Technique", which can be both hard and soft, and the combination of hardness and softness is complete!
"idiot--!"

Yokoyama Sora unleashed this 'Meteor Slash', originally thinking it would severely injure Chen Jie.

but,

To his astonishment, Chen Jie used the force of the attack to his advantage, defusing his seemingly inevitable killing blow with a light touch, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

His spiritual sense of crisis was now warning him.

He could clearly sense that Chen Jie's sword move, which used the opponent's force to counterattack, was unpredictable and had even more terrifying follow-up changes.

Whoosh-!
Yokoyama swung his katana down, quickly retreating a few steps to increase the distance between himself and Chen Jie.

but,

Just as Yokoyama Sora was retreating rapidly, Chen Jie's "Limitless Sword Technique" became faster and faster.

One move after another, like a raging storm, relentless and unending.

The killing moves of swordsmanship are far more terrifying than those of fist and leg techniques, and even eagle claw kung fu.

Every move he made was filled with terrifying killing intent.

Bang, bang, bang—!
At this moment, the two sides clashed most fiercely.

The clash between sword techniques and saber skills is dazzling.

Any slight mistake could lead to a swift and fatal defeat.

"Baka—damn it!"

Yokoyama Sora's gaze turned icy, and he took another five or six steps back to avoid Chen Jie's sword strike.

Although the two exchanged only a dozen or so moves, and the process seemed long, it actually lasted less than a minute.

Any defensive lapse will result in bloodshed on the field.

In a battle between masters, victory or defeat can be decided in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, both sides want to gain the upper hand and suppress their opponent.

Clang——!
Chen Jie's "Autumn Wind and Falling Leaves" move once again forced Yokoyama Sora to retreat continuously.

Swish-!
Just as Yokoyama Sora took five steps back, Chen Jie's speed reached its limit.

He thrust his sword forward, moving like a shadow, like a streak of light.

at this time,

The Wuji Sword Technique was used at its peak, with an incredibly fast offensive rhythm.

Every sword move unleashed contains a powerful force.

Om-!
When he unleashed the [Extreme Realm] sword technique, his spiritual sense locked onto Yokoyama Sora.

No matter how perfect the opponent's offense and defense are, they cannot escape Chen Jie's spiritual sense lock.

quickly,

Yokoyama Sora was forced into a corner of the passageway of the Great Buddha Temple, with nowhere to retreat!

hum!
Hypnosis!
Chen Jie forcefully used the spiritual power of 'Bible Spiritual Practice' to perform hypnosis.

This is Miao Feng's ultimate technique, a mental attack.

Taking advantage of the moment when Yokoyama Sora's mental state was distracted, Chen Jie used hypnosis to influence his judgment.

really,

Yokoyama Sora's mental energy was affected by hypnosis, and he felt drowsy.

Now or never!

Just as Yokoyama Sora lost his composure, Chen Jie took five steps forward.

In an instant.

He slashed forward with his longsword, then thrust it in.

Limitless Sword Technique - Heavenly Net!
This is the ultimate skill of the Wuji Sword Saint of the Martial Saint Sect. The sword moves are unpredictable, as if the Sword Saint himself has descended upon the world.

His sword strikes were fierce and domineering, unpredictable and beyond human comprehension.

of course,

At this moment, Chen Jie was not using the "Heavenly Net" to kill Yokoyama Sora at all.

He relied on the speed of the 'Heavenly Net' sword technique to suppress Yokoyama Sora's spiritual sense and unleashed the [Nine Palaces Tendon Locking Needle] with unparalleled precision!
Clang——!
next moment,
Chen Jie's longsword clashed fiercely with Yokoyama Karu's katana.

at the same time,

Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was under the influence of hypnosis, Chen Jie instantly pierced a golden needle into Yokoyama Sora's 'Qi Hai' acupoint.

hum!
Yokoyama Sora's mind went blank, and his energy was sealed by the golden needles at his 'Qi Hai' acupoint, rendering him unable to move.

Next,
His body trembled violently as Chen Jie swiftly pierced nine needles into his body!
Just like Tianjiu Miaofeng on the island.

Once the Nine Palaces Locking Meridian Needles lock Hengshan Kong's meridians, even with his mid-stage Meridian Opening Qi strength, he will have no use for them.

not to mention,
Chen Jie's current martial arts level and spiritual refinement realm are several times stronger than when he was on the island.

The power of the Nine Palaces Locking Tendon Needle is beyond doubt.

Let alone Yokoyama Sora, even if Miyamoto Musashi had his meridians locked, he would be at the mercy of others.

Just as Yokoyama Sora's meridians were locked.

Chen Jie's 'Bible Spiritual Cultivation Technique' instantly invaded the opponent's mind, suppressing his martial arts willpower with its incomparably powerful mental strength.

at the same time,

Chen Jie struck Heng Shankong's dantian with his palm.

boom!
The internal energy cultivation method of "Diamond Skill" is in full swing.

this moment,
The internal energy within Yokoyama Sora's body seemed to have been completely burned.

The internal energy of the Vajra Kung Fu is constantly being assimilated and absorbed.

Chen Jie's dantian was like a sponge!
This is not the "Star Absorbing Technique"!
However, its power is far more terrifying than the Star Absorbing Technique.

Swish, swish, swish—!
In the time that followed, Chen Jie gave Yokoyama Sora no chance to catch his breath.

His sixth level of biblical spiritual practice, 'Spirit Killing,' directly destroyed Yokoyama Sora's spiritual willpower.

Yokoyama Sora's martial arts willpower is as firm as a rock, and his spiritual refinement realm is the same as Chen Jie's.

Therefore,
Trying to leave your mark and control the other party is almost impossible.

At the same time, the internal energy cultivation method of "Diamond Skill" continuously assimilates and absorbs the internal energy in Hengshan Kong's dantian.

Yokoyama Sora is a mid-stage expert in the 'Meridian Opening Qi' realm, possessing incredibly powerful internal energy. Compared to Chen Jie, he is like a tanky bull.

Even if Chen Jie only assimilates and absorbs 20% of the opponent's internal energy, it will be enough to greatly benefit him and increase his strength.

boom--!
A shockwave formed by true energy spread outwards.

Deep within the passageway of the Great Buddha Temple, a terrifying killing intent emanated, giving people an immense sense of oppression.

The elite special forces of Ximen Hall were kept fifty meters away by this killing intent, unable to get close. (End of Chapter)
