Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Several top martial arts masters from the East arrived in the Great Qian Dynasty and, after careful planning, assassinated Prince Qian, Chen Jie.

They couldn't have been unprepared; they analyzed and simulated the situation several times, and tried to overestimate the Qian King's fighting strength.

The 'Twelve Shadow Ninjas,' the most elite troops under Emperor Meiji, were the first to be dispatched. They looked extremely aggressive, launching a crossfire of attacks using Japanese field artillery, heavy machine guns, and concealed weapons.

To be honest, they were just cannon fodder.

Chen Jie knew, of course, that there were even more powerful experts hiding in the shadows.

otherwise,

To attempt to assassinate him with just the 'Twelve Kage-level Ninja Masters' of the East is no match for Chiba Teru.

Before this, Chen Jie had killed Chiba Hikaru of the Ninja Clan on the spot on the Yangtze River.

The twelve Shadow Ninjas' martial arts level was only at the Great Perfection of Meridian Opening and Qi Refining; they could not possibly be the main force behind the assassination.

but,

To Chen Jie's surprise, he did not expect that four powerful individuals who were "indestructible even when facing gods" would come to assassinate him.

in fact,

The moment Chen Jie stepped out of the sedan chair and into the ambush set up by the four masters, his spiritual senses had already detected something.

Although the killing intent was blocked, Chen Jie still felt a life-or-death crisis.

Perhaps it was because the four experts at the Divine Realm were so skilled at using secret techniques to shield their killing intent that Chen Jie was unable to sense their exact location.

It was able to shield the murderous intent and deceive Chen Jie's spiritual senses for a short period of time.

Apart from experts at the late stage of the 'Undying Godhood' realm, no one else can do it.

Even a master at the late-stage perfect realm of 'Seeing Gods Without Destruction' could only completely block Chen Jie's spiritual senses for a very short time.

in addition,

Once Chen Jie's attention is highly focused and he goes all out, even a late-stage expert who can see through a deity's illusions cannot hide from him for more than a minute.

but,

The initial assassination attempt by the Japanese 'Twelve Shadow Ninjas' did indeed distract Chen Jie.

In terms of assassination methods, Toyotomi Hidekawa's arrangement of the 'Twelve Kage-level Ninja Sect' to launch the assassination first was very effective, preventing Chen Jie from calmly checking the surrounding ambushes.

otherwise,
Given Chen Jie's crisis perception abilities, it was impossible for him to enter the ambush set up by four super strong individuals.

At this moment, Chen Jie did not panic, but instead focused his mind and brought himself to his peak condition.

The three great laws manifest simultaneously, unstoppable and invincible!
Pfft——!
A sound like tearing leather rang out near Chen Jie's chest, abdomen, and heart.

When the four super strongmen made their move, the first one to attack Chen Jie was not the Japanese master Toyotomi Hidekawa, nor Fujiwara Yasuyasu and Tokugawa Ihide, but Song Zhong, the leader of the Gelaohui, who was hiding in the shadows and suddenly attacked like a cobra!

This renowned top assassin of the Great Qian Dynasty exuded almost no aura.

He was dressed in black clothes and his face was covered in black paint, making him blend into the darkness and almost impossible to detect.

His eyes shone with an eerie light, filled with murderous intent, seemingly carrying a hint of bloodshed in the dark night.

Anyone who looks into Song Zhong's eyes in this state will feel a terrifying sense of oppression.

This is not hypnosis, but the manifestation of murderous intent, expressed through the eyes, captivating and mesmerizing.

this moment,
Chen Jie couldn't help but take a half step back. Looking up at Song Zhong, he felt a sense of dizziness.

Those were eyes that had killed countless people and were extremely eerie.

He held a triangular rapier, forged specifically for killing, in his hand. Like a military dagger, the blade of the rapier was spiral-shaped, giving it an extremely terrifying feel.

Once pierced by this kind of slender sword, blood vessels will be torn, and blood will be drained in the shortest possible time.

This can be seen.

The destructive power of this Mitsubishi rapier is terrifying.

After launching an attack from the shadows, the Mitsubishi Rapier was instantly unleashed, moving with lightning speed.

Like a flash of light, the sword tip trembled, and as Song Zhong's wrist constantly changed direction, he was able to reduce the sound of the sword cutting through the air.

It wasn't until the Mitsubishi rapier was close to Chen Jie's chest, abdomen, and heart that the blade suddenly trembled and exploded.

Woohoo——!
The surrounding air roared and exploded in an instant.

at the same time,

The Mitsubishi rapier not only pierced Chen Jie's vital chest and abdomen, but also loomed over his throat, lungs, head, and other fatal upper body cavities.

Song Zhong, nicknamed "Sending Off the Dead"!

His sword is renowned in the martial arts world for its speed; a single strike can be fatal!

In particular, the sword intent and killing power contained in this sword strike were completely unleashed in this killing move.

Looking into his cold and eerie eyes, one feels as if they have fallen into an ice cellar.

The surrounding killing intent sealed off all escape routes, and at this moment, the power of heaven and earth merged into this killing move.

His swordplay transformed into a vicious venomous snake, unleashing a powerful burst of energy that spread outwards, creating a shockwave.

"Chichi—!"

The sound of the air exploding was mixed with a chilling, terrifying noise.

Song Zhong's sword strike perfectly blended essence, energy, spirit, power, light, explosion, and breaking.

Coupled with the murderous intent that erupted from him in an instant.

This sword strike was arguably the strongest he had unleashed in all the years since he sealed his sword.

More than thirty years ago, before he sheathed his sword and was still the number one assassin of the Great Qian Dynasty, Song Zhong unleashed this sword strike, killing a super strongman who was "indestructible even when facing gods".

Even before the Mitsubishi rapier pierces the enemy's heart, the mere piercing sound is enough to instantly chill the enemy to the bone and throw them into disarray.

So back then, he had a nickname that made any master in the martial arts world tremble with fear—Ghost Sword's Death!

Chen Jie had seen a master swordsman, Guan Qilin, the Overlord Swordsman, who was a disciple of the previous generation's "Sword Master of the Startling Clouds" and whose swordsmanship was unparalleled.

However, in terms of the exquisiteness and agility of swordsmanship, Guan Qilin's swordsmanship was definitely not as captivating and terrifying as Song Zhong's, even before piercing the enemy's body.

Song Zhong's sword reached the point where it could intimidate people with its sound.

Even Chen Jie's mind was affected at this moment.

However, he did not lose his composure or his mind when faced with Song Zhong's fierce and vicious sword strike.

suddenly,
He reached forward with his hand, his five fingers grabbing at Song Zhong's sword strike head-on.

Using the external form of the Dragon Claw Hand, it directly clashed with the blade of Song Zhong's three-sided rapier, and was incredibly fierce.

Dragon Claw Hand - Raging Dragon Claw!
Chen Jie's 'Raging Dragon Claw' met the attack head-on, and his innate internal energy exploded instantly, his entire sleeve being blasted open by the force of the energy.

boom--!
A huge claw-like shadow appeared above his head.

The power of the external Dharma form is awe-inspiring.

Song Zhong never expected that Chen Jie would not fight him head-on with his sword, but instead used his claws to forcefully resist his Mitsubishi rapier.

A strange, blood-red light flashed in his eyes, and then the rapier in his hand moved upwards, instantly changing direction, aiming straight for Chen Jie's throat.

Using the vibration of the sword's edge to create a deflection, it aimed at Chen Jie's throat, just barely avoiding Chen Jie's 'Raging Dragon Claw'.

This is Song Zhong's most terrifying sword technique killing move - Slanting Autumn Wind!
He had absolute confidence in his killing move.

With this series of movements—a tremor, a sway, a tilt, and a thrust—he was confident that he could slip past Chen Jie's claws and strike his vital throat.

No one has been able to withstand the force of his Mitsubishi rapier.

Even the legendary "Sword Master Jingyun" of yesteryear would have been unable to break through the assassin's swordsmanship with his bare hands if he had mastered it to this level. Therefore, he simply did not believe that Chen Jie could defend against his seemingly inevitable sword strike.

In that single thrust, his essence, energy, and spirit were concentrated in the sword's momentum.

The tip of the sword became his spiritual eye, allowing him to clearly sense all of Chen Jie's defensive movements.

No matter how fast the opponent's reaction speed, how strong their strength, or how ruthless their swordsmanship, they absolutely cannot withstand the sharpness of this sword.

Indeed, once a swordsman masters the art to its fullest potential, the sword seems to possess a spirit and consciousness.

How could one possibly defend with claw techniques?
The result was not unexpected for Song Zhong.

Bang-!
As soon as Chen Jie's 'Raging Dragon Claw' touched Song Zhong's triangular rapier, his innate qi collapsed.

at the same time.

The sleeve of his shirt was ripped apart by the powerful force of the air, flying everywhere.

but,

To Song Zhong's shock, apart from seeing Chen Jie's sleeve torn, there was no trace of blood, nor any sign of injury to his arm.

"not good--!"

The sword thrust failed to kill, and the sword's momentum was not met; instead, it was met with a backlash.

Song Zhong was greatly surprised. From the shockwave emanating from the sword, he could clearly feel that although his "Slanting Autumn Wind" killing move had shattered Chen Jie's sleeve, it was still effective.

However, a powerful force instantly wrapped around his Mitsubishi rapier.

Chen Jie's 'Dragon Claw Technique' was so powerful that its domineering innate qi, the moment it shattered the sleeve, instantly imprisoned the sword like a steel claw.

Even if the steel claws actually restrained Song Zhong's Mitsubishi rapier, this grandmaster, who had cultivated his martial arts to the late stage of "Indestructible Godhood," could still shatter the steel claws into dust with a single sword strike.

but,

Chen Jie's innate internal energy instantly suppressed his sword momentum, preventing his boundless killing intent from being released.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted!

Although he was a grandmaster at the late stage of the Divine Indestructible realm, he was a king of assassins.

but,

He was over a hundred years old after all, and his life potential had long been exhausted.

Chen Jie's 'Raging Dragon Claw' attack instantly shattered Song Zhong's essence, energy, and spirit.

His assassination attempt failed, and his condition and momentum plummeted, receding like the tide.

Chen Jie's Dragon Claw Hand strike was powerful, domineering, ruthless, and executed flawlessly, showcasing the power of claw techniques to a masterful degree.

Faced with Song Zhong's seemingly inevitable killing move, he neither dodged nor retreated, but instead met it head-on with his claw technique.

Just as the opponent's triangular rapier was about to strike, he used his innate qi of 'Raging Dragon Claw' to meet it head-on, using the power of the dragon claw technique to restrain the opponent's triangular rapier and break through the opponent's killing intent.

Bang!
Just as Song Zhong's sword stance was broken, Chen Jie's arm, whose sleeve had been ripped open, suddenly turned around.

next moment,
His arms were like steel, and with a single reach of his five claws, he actually grabbed the Mitsubishi rapier.

His hands gripped the side of the Mitsubishi rapier's blade with incredible precision, the blade unable to cut the skin on his hands.

Because the Mitsubishi rapier was immobilized, Song Zhong was unable to exert any force.

After Chen Jie's claw technique caught the Mitsubishi rapier, Song Zhong felt the sword suddenly sink downwards.

It was as if the Mitsubishi rapier had lost its control, becoming so heavy that it was impossible to draw it, let alone use any sword techniques.

Even more terrifying, he felt that Chen Jie's body was radiating a golden light, and his skin was as hard as iron, firmly suppressing the sword.

Like a magnet, the Mitsubishi rapier completely lost Song Zhong's control at this moment.

"How could this be? The power of a physical cultivation Dharma form! How could there be such terrifying power of a physical cultivation Dharma form?"

He wanted to take back the Mitsubishi Rapier.

but,

Chen Jie's hand had firmly grasped the sword, and he kicked him in the chest.

"You're fucking asking for it! Let go!"

Suddenly, Song Zhong let out a thunderous roar.

At this moment, he unleashed all his power, suddenly pressing down and pulling out the Mitsubishi rapier in his hand.

With this backhand strike, his entire body swelled up with an overwhelming aura of power, as if his body had expanded by a size.

He looked imposing and domineering, exuding a terrifying aura.

This is the manifestation of the external Dharma form of a powerhouse at the late stage of the 'Undying Godhood' realm, with innate Qi bursting forth!
In an instant, Chen Jie felt the Mitsubishi rapier in his hand vibrate violently.

It's like a python that's been suppressed and is struggling fiercely, trying to break free of its restraints and transform into a dragon to ascend to heaven.

this moment,
Chen Jie naturally couldn't let Song Zhong just pull the Mitsubishi rapier back like that.

He unleashed the full power of his Dragon Claw technique and the Thirteen Bodyguards' Horizontal Training technique.

boom!
The powers of the two Dharma forms merged together, and with a sudden twist, tremor, and gripping of his claws!
Click—click—click!
A crisp, metallic clang!

Chen Jie unleashed a powerful twisting force with his claw, and the Mitsubishi rapier shattered like an ice pick.

From the outside, Chen Jie's hand claw power was concentrated on his arm, twisting and vibrating, and finally shattering the Mitsubishi rapier.

in fact,

The moment Chen Jie grabbed the Mitsubishi rapier with his dragon claw hand, the blade was already immobilized.

His Thirteen Bodyguards' Horizontal Training Dharma Image Power emitted a shockwave, which was simultaneously countered by the power of the Dragon Claw Hand Dharma Image.

The clash of the two forces caused the Mitsubishi rapier to shatter like a block of ice.

Chen Jie's combined attack of Dharma power was enough to shatter a giant whale in the deep sea abyss, let alone a rapier.

The most terrifying part of the Mitsubishi Rapier is its blade.

Chen Jie used his Dragon Claw Hand to restrain the blade, and at the same time used his strength to clash, twist, and entangle it, which naturally shattered the Mitsubishi rapier.

Song Zhong was once the top assassin of the Daqian Dynasty, and his most terrifying weapon was the triangular rapier in his hand.

The reason Chen Jie shattered the Mitsubishi rapier with a single move without hesitation was because, among the four super masters, the Mitsubishi rapier posed the greatest threat.

If Song Zhong disregards his own life and uses a desperate move, attacking him with a three-pointed rapier, it will be very difficult to defend against.

The methods used by super assassins are extremely terrifying.

In order to fulfill their mission, they were even willing to sacrifice their lives and perish together with their goal.

to be frank,
If it were a one-on-one fight, Chen Jie was confident he could block Song Zhong's Mitsubishi rapier.

But this isn't a one-on-one match.

Song Zhongjue was certain that he would be able to stab his opponent in the body with his rapier before being killed by his opponent.

There are too many examples of this kind of mutual destruction, and Chen Jie dared not take such a risk, so he first dismantled his Mitsubishi rapier.

After shattering Song Zhong's triangular rapier with one blow, he then grabbed at the air with his other hand.

Whoosh-!
After blocking the other three's samurai sword attacks, the Wuji Sword instantly returned to his hand.

Almost at the same time, his waist sank down.

A sword flashed past, slashing down towards Song Zhong's head! (End of Chapter)
