Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

boom--!
The violent internal energy swept around.

The battle inside the Great Buddha Temple has now ended.

Apart from the two super strong individuals, Yokoyama Sora and Tokugawa Hide, who were able to escape unscathed from a hail of bullets.

The other Japanese samurai were suppressed by the firepower of the elite special forces of Ximentang and were quickly routed.

Although the special forces elites of Ximentang also suffered considerable casualties.

However, due to their numerical advantage and overwhelming firepower, the Japanese samurai had no chance of escaping.

but,

Deep within the passageway of the Great Buddha Temple, Chen Jie and Yokoyama Sora were locked in a fierce battle that neither the Japanese samurai nor the elite special forces of the Ximen Hall could get close.

Simultaneously,

Neither side dared to open fire without orders.

The internal energy of a master of the Meridian Opening Realm, once unleashed at full power, is terrifying.

The shockwave spread powerfully, like a storm in the ocean, destroying everything around it.

"Baka—let go! I'm going to kill you—!"

Yokoyama Sora was unable to move, and his face changed completely.

He wanted to break free from Chen Jie's control, wanted to fight back, and wanted to use his swordsmanship.

but,

Even with his peak combat strength at the mid-stage of the 'Meridian Opening Qi' realm, after Chen Jie sealed his eight extraordinary meridians with the 'Nine Palaces Locking Tendon Needles,' he was completely at the mercy of others.

Accurate prediction, perfect control!
Chen Jie first used the "Limitless Sword Technique" to forcefully suppress Yokoyama Sora's swordsmanship.

Then,

When Yokoyama Sora's mental state fluctuated, he instantly used the "Hypnosis Technique".

next moment,
He used the "Nine Palaces Locking Tendon Needle" to lock Hengshan Kong's Qihai acupoint.

Every step of the calculation was precisely controlled.

After locking down Yokoyama Sora's Qi Sea acupoint, Chen Jie used the "Bible Spirit Cultivation Technique" to directly destroy Yokoyama Sora's martial arts willpower.

He then used the "Diamond Skill" to assimilate and absorb his internal energy.

There was no room for opportunism in this battle.

In a head-on clash, Chen Jie was in no way inferior to Yokoyama Sora.

That is,

With Chen Jie's current combat strength, he is comparable to a mid-stage expert in the Qi Refining Realm.

Even without using the "Hypnosis Technique," he couldn't control Yokoyama Sora, but the other party couldn't do anything to him either.

Yokoyama Sora's martial arts willpower was destroyed, but his mental state did not become disordered.

The willpower of a master of the Meridian Opening Qi is incomparably strong.

Therefore,
Chen Jie's decision not to leave a mark on the other person's consciousness to control them was a very wise choice.

For some reason, Chen Jie felt Yokoyama Sora's unwavering willpower.

He suddenly thought of Tianjiu Miaofeng.

Miao Feng is a peak expert in the early stage of 'Tongmai Gangjin', and her martial arts willpower is equally unwavering.

but,

However, he was able to leave his mark on Miao Feng's mind.

what is the problem?

Miao Feng opened her mind at that time, unlike Yokoyama Sora who closed herself off.

otherwise,

No matter how advanced Chen Jie's biblical spiritual practice was, it was impossible for him to leave a mark on Miao Feng's consciousness.

Could it be that Miao Feng did this on purpose?

Chen Jie cleared his mind of all thoughts and focused all his energy on unleashing the Vajra Skill.

After Yokoyama Sora's Qi Sea acupoint was sealed, Chen Jie's internal energy continued to flow into his body.

assimilation!

hum!
Yokoyama Sora's mind was reeling, and he lost control of his inner energy.

His consciousness began to waver at that moment.

Chen Jie's internal energy from the "Diamond Skill" is constantly assimilated and absorbed.

Yokoyama Sora's mind went blank, and he felt his body and consciousness separating.

Two hours later.

call--!
Chen Jie finally stopped circulating the internal energy cultivation method of "Diamond Skill".

He hadn't expected that this time, the exercise would take more than two hours.

Two-tenths of my strength!

I didn't expect that after assimilating and absorbing for so long, I only absorbed 20% of Yokoyama Sora's power.

It wasn't that he didn't want to inhale anymore, but rather that Chen Jie's dantian had reached its limit.

It can't absorb any more!

This demonstrates just how profound and powerful the internal energy of a martial artist at the mid-stage of the Meridian Opening Realm is.

Next,
Chen Jie removed his hand from Yokoyama Sora's head and stood up from the ground.

"Baka! I'm going to kill you!"

The anger in Yokoyama's heart burned fiercely.

He finally regained his senses, but his power was reduced by 20%, and all the meridians in his body were sealed by the 'Nine Palaces Locking Needles,' so he couldn't move at all.

Clang——!
puff!

A piercing sound echoed throughout the surrounding area.

Yokoyama Sora's anger vanished instantly, his eyes filled with resentment as he glared at Chen Jie.

Blood gushed from his vital area, his heart, instantly staining the ground red.

Kill with one sword!
Simple, brutal, direct, and ruthless!

Yokoyama Sora's heart was pierced by a sword, and his life was taken away by Chen Jie with a single strike.

Hengshan Kong, the chief leader of the Black Dragon Society in the Great Qian Dynasty and a powerful expert at the mid-stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, died at the Great Buddha Temple in the capital.

The Japanese Black Dragon Society spent a great deal of effort to finally locate the passage to the Imperial Armory of the Great Qian Dynasty.

but,

In the end, however, all their efforts were in vain.

Although in terms of martial arts skill level, Chen Jie is a whole realm below Yokoyama Sora.

but,

His "Limitless Sword Technique" is capable of challenging opponents across borders.

Once he unleashes his full power, he can hold his own against Yokoyama Sora without being at a disadvantage.

Simultaneously,

His spiritual refinement level was no weaker than Yokoyama Sora's.

When both sides are fighting to the death, any oversight can be fatal.

Chen Jie suddenly used hypnosis, and the moment Yokoyama Sora's mental willpower was broken, his defeat was already sealed.

After assimilating and absorbing Yokoyama Sora's internal energy, Chen Jie decisively killed him with a single sword strike.

To prevent future troubles!

This Japanese man cannot be allowed to live; he's too dangerous!
Once he regains his form, Chen Jie can't guarantee he'll be able to subdue him next time.

Although the process of this life-or-death struggle was simple, Chen Jie's victory was not easy.

Even the slightest negligence could result in severe damage.

After piercing Yokoyama Sora's heart with a single sword strike, killing him.

The 'Blood Dragon Jade' kept flashing in Chen Jie's mind.

[Martial Arts Merit Points: +250000!]

[Congratulations on defeating the expert with the Qi Refining and Meridian Opening Realm! You have been awarded an additional 300000 Martial Arts Merit Points!]

[Congratulations on successfully defeating the Black Dragon Society's leader using martial arts for the first time! An additional 500000 Martial Arts Merit Points have been awarded!]

Damn it——!
Chen Jie stared at the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind, speechless for a long time.

Unexpectedly, killing Yokoyama Sora resulted in gaining 105 Martial Arts Merit Points.

What surprised him even more was that the base [Martial Arts Merit Points] he obtained were as high as 25 points.

This shows that

Killing a master of the Qi Refining Stage using martial arts will grant you over 20 basic Martial Arts Merit Points.

This life-or-death battle yielded more base [Martial Arts Merit Points] than he would have gained from defeating any other martial artist.

Next,
He checked the remaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] of the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind.

The total is 3035000 points.

With over 300 million points, the resonance of the [Martial Saint Sect] can be activated three times.

He hopes that after activating it three times, he can break through to the 'late stage of Xinzhai' in his Spirit Refinement Realm.

Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm himself down.

Next,
He searched Yokoyama Sora's body for a moment, trying to find something of value.

Poor guy!

Surprisingly, Yokoyama Sora had nothing of value on him.

This guy is the leader of the Black Dragon Society of the East, how can he be so poor? Unlike other ninjas, Yokoyama Sora has no hidden weapons or poison on him.

He seems to be a true Japanese samurai, disdaining to use any other means.

At last,
Inside Yokoyama Sora's clothes, they found a manual for the Yokoyama Itto-ryu sword style.

This is a martial arts manual of the Japanese "Shinto Munen-ryu" sword style, one of the top sword styles in Japan.

Even in terms of martial arts lineage, the Yokoyama Ittō-ryū manual is not much inferior to the Miyamoto family's swordsmanship.

Chen Jie opened the manual for the Yokoyama Ittō-ryū sword style and glanced at it briefly.

Next,
Something that surprised him happened.

Because Chen Jie practiced the "Limitless Sword Technique," which is a supreme martial art of the Martial Saint, far surpassing other sword styles.

but,

After he had been flipping through the "Yokozan Ittō-ryū" manual for a while, the "Blood Dragon Jade" in his mind quickly displayed this sword technique.

[Martial Arts Merit Points +5000!]

Huh?
Chen Jie was very surprised.

He did not receive any [Martial Arts Merit Points] reward when he acquired the Wuji Sword Technique.

I never expected that just by glancing at the manual of "Yokozan Ittō-ryū", this martial art would manifest on the "Blood Dragon Jade".

This shows that

He can easily master the Yokoyama Ittō-ryū sword technique.

What surprised him even more was that activating the Yokoyama Ittō-ryū style granted him 5000 Martial Arts Merit Points.

That is,

This sword technique is in no way inferior to the "Bible Spiritual Cultivation Techniques" and the "Thirteen Bodyguards' Horizontal Training"!
hiss--!
Next,
Chen Jie felt extremely sore all over.

He had just engaged in a fierce battle with Yokoyama Sora, and their true energy enveloped the surroundings, leaving no room for error.

His muscles, bones, and meridians were subjected to an extremely strong shock, and even his bones developed cracks.

He was so focused that he could barely feel the pain.

but,

Now that his internal energy had been contained, his bones trembled with pain, and he shivered uncontrollably.

Whoosh—whoosh—!
He kept adjusting his breathing to relieve the pain.

Although he killed Yokoyama Sora in this life-or-death battle.

but,

The gap between his martial arts skills and physical abilities still resulted in him sustaining serious injuries.

Just now, whether it was the "Limitless Sword Technique" or the "Hypnosis Technique" that were unleashed.

He unleashed his full internal energy and, with the power of a mid-stage Xinzhai (Heart Refinement) cultivator, was able to kill Yokoyama Sora.

Each time the Extreme Sword Technique is used, it is a test of one's mental strength.

Although his final sword strike looked very simple.

but,

That unstoppable sword intent, unstoppable and unstoppable, far surpassed his current martial arts level.

"Hmph! The leader of the Japanese Black Dragon Society is nothing special!"

"Do you really think that a master of the Meridian Opening Qi Realm can run rampant in the Great Qian Dynasty? Once I've mastered the Limitless Sword Technique to the 'Innate Limitless' level, I won't hesitate to kill even Miyamoto Musashi!"

Chen Jie glanced at Yokoyama Sora's corpse and snorted coldly.

He circulated the Vajra Kung Fu to adjust his state, and then walked out from the depths of the Great Buddha Temple's passageway.

The fighting around them had stopped, and the bodies of the Japanese samurai had been cleared away.

Simultaneously,

The bloodstains on the ground were also cleaned up.

This is, after all, a great Buddhist temple, a sacred Buddhist site. With the entire capital in chaos, there aren't many ordinary people around.

Chen Jie returned to the middle of the courtyard of the Great Buddha Temple, looked up at the men and horses of the West Gate Hall, and nodded slightly.

In this battle, the fighting power of Ximentang's elite troops impressed everyone.

Martial artists below the level of "Ban Xue Dan Jin" (a martial arts technique) were utterly powerless against the firepower of Xi Men Tang's replica AK47 assault rifles.

Even with the Blood Pill Force, they would be forced to flee in disarray against the elite musket formation of the Ximen Hall Special Forces Regiment.

Huang Zhidao and Tokugawa Hide, the military attaché of the Eastern Army, engaged in a fierce battle, with their forces evenly matched!

Both were experts at the peak of the Meridian Opening Realm, each possessing a trump card, making it impossible for either to defeat the other.

He had returned to the Great Buddha Temple an hour earlier.

but,

After seeing that Chen Jie had taken control of Yokoyama Sora, he did not go forward to disturb him.

Although he didn't know what kind of martial arts Chen Jie practiced, he knew very well that disturbing the other party while he was practicing was a malicious act.

at this time,

Chen Jie, carrying a Japanese samurai sword, slowly walked to the middle of the courtyard of the Great Buddha Temple.

When he arrived in front of a dozen or so Japanese samurai prisoners.

hiss--!
Several captured Japanese samurai stared wide-eyed at the sight of the swords, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Golden Ears and a Sword!

Baka——

This is General Yokoyama Sora's sword!

Yokoyama Sora was the leader of the Black Dragon Society of the East and also a lieutenant general in the East Japanese military.

He not only held extremely high prestige within the Black Dragon Society, but also wielded immense influence within the Eastern Army.

this moment,
Almost all the captured Japanese samurai stared at Chen Jie, their eyes filled with horror.

If Huang Zhidao, the Grand Steward of the Great Qian Dynasty, had killed Yokoyama Sora, perhaps no one would have been so shocked.

After all, Huang Zhidao was one of the strongest figures in the Great Qian Dynasty, the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household Department, whose martial arts had reached the Great Perfection of the Meridian Opening Qi realm, and whose combat power was unfathomable.

but,

Chen Jie is too young. He is not only the son-in-law of the Daqian Emperor, but also the governor of the Daqian Dynasty.

Now, he is the 'King Qian' of the Great Qian Dynasty!
Despite his high position and great power, and his young age, he was able to cross borders and kill Yokoyama Sora.

That's terrifying!
To know,
Once a martial arts master reaches the Blood-Moving Pill Strength level, the difference in combat power between each minor level becomes extremely significant.

Yokoyama Sora was a whole realm higher than Chen Jie, yet he was killed by Chen Jie. No one would believe it if you told them.

Huang Zhidao took a deep breath as he looked at Yokoyama Sora's 'Golden Ear Battle Blade'.

He looked Chen Jie up and down for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise:

"It's unbelievable that someone at the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm could kill a mid-stage Qi Refining Realm expert."

"Prince Qian, you have broken through the barrier of martial arts realm and combat power!"

When he first saw Chen Jie, Chen Jie's martial arts level was only at the initial stage of the Meridian Cleansing Realm.

It's been less than two years.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jie's martial arts had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Blood-Moving Pill Technique, and at the same time, his Spirit Refining Realm had even broken through to the mid-stage of the Heart Fasting Realm.

Even more incredibly, Chen Jie crossed borders and killed Hengshan Kong, who was at the mid-stage of the Tongmai Gangjin realm.

Such terrifying martial arts talent and combat power completely overturned Huang Zhidao's understanding of martial arts.

Chen Jie gave an order to those around him and nodded to Huang Zhidao.

Next,
All the elite troops of the Ximentang Special Operations Regiment were responsible for guarding the area around the Dafosi Temple.

Chen Jie followed Huang Zhidao into the passageway of the Great Buddha Temple.

When they reached the back of a Buddha statue, Huang Zhidao slowly moved the statue aside, revealing a secret passage.

Huang Zhidao took the lead and walked into the passage, followed closely by Chen Jie.

After entering the secret passage, Huang Zhidao stared at the 'Golden Ear Battle Blade' in Chen Jie's hand and sighed.

"Prince Qian, I never imagined that your martial arts skills had become so powerful."

"Rumors in the martial arts world say you're a martial arts fanatic, and it's true. Your peak combat strength is no weaker than mine."

"Even I, though confident in defeating Yokoyama Sora, have no way of killing him."

"Yokozan Sora is the head of the Japanese Black Dragon Society in the Great Qian Dynasty, and also its leader. He is highly skilled in martial arts and ranks among the top ten in Japan."

"With the passing of the late emperor, many of the top experts from the East have recently come to Daqian."

"The ambitions of the Japanese are common knowledge; they want to support Prince Ning, Li Mu, to become the puppet emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"Unexpectedly, Ximentang disrupted the Japanese's plans."

"Yokozan Sora was the first Gang Jin expert from the East to die in the Great Qian Dynasty, but I believe he will definitely not be the last."

Chen Jie smiled calmly and remained silent.

He is now the Prince of Qian. In the Great Qian Dynasty, Emperor Li Zheng, who was his equal, is already dead!
Therefore,
There was no need for him to be humble in front of Huang Zhidao, the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household Department.

In terms of martial arts combat prowess, although his level is not high enough.

but,

His "Limitless Sword Technique" does indeed possess the power to rival Huang Zhidao.

"Eunuch Huang, I would like to know about the number one expert in the Great Qian Dynasty, the 'Sword Master of Startling Clouds'. Could you tell me about him?"

Chen Jie put away the 'Golden Ear Battle Blade' in his hand and asked calmly.

He had only asked the question casually.

but,

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhidao shook his head with deep apprehension and remained silent. (End of Chapter)
