Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chen Jie's move of gripping the sword in mid-air, counter-attacking, and slashing is the "Wind-Splitting Style" from the Wuji Sword Technique.

The sword's momentum solidified, and with a flick, a tremor, and a slash, it struck!
The movements were executed in one smooth, decisive motion, without the slightest pause.

Although this sword blocked the samurai swords of three Japanese ninjas in succession, the sword's momentum did not weaken; on the contrary, it became even stronger.

The power of the sword dharma form erupted at full force, even more ferocious than the 'Slaying Rebellion' he had unleashed on the Yangtze River.

A single sword strike ripped through Song Zhong's defenses.

The domineering sword energy instantly cleaved Song Zhong's body in two.

That's right,

Song Zhong was cleaved in two by a single sword stroke, from his head down to his lower body.

Pfft——!
Since Song Zhong didn't have a Mitsubishi rapier, he could only use his arm to block and protect his head.

but,

Faced with such fierce sword energy, his arm was as thin as paper.

Chen Jie's Wuji Sword slashed down from mid-air, cleaving Chen Jie's arm in two, splitting his head and body in two.

Puff-!
next moment,
All that could be seen was Song Zhong's body, split in two, slumped on the ground, his blood instantly staining the ground red, a mixture of red and white.

The moment Song Zhong's head was severed in two, only one thought remained in his mind: "Such fast swordsmanship!"

in a blink,
This once formidable assassin, the top-tier expert who was over a hundred years old, was killed with a single sword strike.

His body was cleaved in two from the middle by Chen Jie's sword, and he died instantly, completely dead!

How sharp and fierce Chen Jie's swordplay was!

This is the ultimate sword technique, with immense destructive power.

Let alone flesh and blood, even a piece of steel would be cut in two by a single sword strike.

The sword is the finest of all weapons; it is a weapon for killing!
Moreover, Chen Jie's swordsmanship is inherited from the 'Sword Saint of Limitless', which is infinitely close to the 'Dao Realm'!
If Song Zhong had been at his peak and his life potential hadn't been exhausted, he might have been able to withstand one of Chen Jie's wind-splitting attacks and avoid being killed on the spot.

Because his martial arts level was at the late stage of the Divine Indestructible realm, his skill far surpassed Chen Jie's.

but,

Just a moment ago, his Mitsubishi rapier was shattered by Chen Jie's claw.

His condition deteriorated rapidly; his essence, energy, and spirit were instantly shattered. His arm-swinging block was merely a last gasp before death; how could it possibly block Chen Jie's seemingly inevitable sword strike?
"Haha! You want to kill me? Do you even have the ability?"

Almost simultaneously, just after Chen Jie killed Song Zhong with a single sword strike, Toyotomi Hidekawa's "Wind-Facing Slash" came hurtling in from behind him.

Chen Jie burst into wild laughter, his momentum unstoppable.

He stomped his foot suddenly, twisted his body as if he had eyes in the back of his head, and moved five steps to the side, instantly avoiding Toyotomi Hidekawa's deadly move.

In the intense duel between him and Song Zhong, Song Zhong swung his Mitsubishi rapier, and Chen Jie used the power of the Dragon Claw technique to restrain the opponent's rapier.

Then,

He clashed the power of his two Dharma forms together, instantly shattering Song Zhong's triangular dagger, and then cleaved Song Zhong in two with a single, powerful strike.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The process was long, but it happened very quickly.

Even in the eyes of Toyotomi Hidekawa and the other two powerful figures from the East, Song Zhong's sword strike shattered the Mitsubishi rapier.

Then,

His body was cleaved off by a sword, severed from the head down, making it impossible to see what had just happened.

Song Zhong was once the number one assassin of the Great Qian Dynasty, the most well-hidden, and his distance of attack was perfectly controlled.

and,

He held a Mitsubishi rapier, a weapon specifically designed for assassination, giving him an advantage in speed, distance, timing, and other aspects.

Therefore,
Compared to the other three powerful figures from the East, Song was the first to approach Chen Jie and the first to pose a threat to him.

However, the other three never expected that because Song Zhong made the first move, they would be the first to die.

The outcome was decided in almost a single move, so fast it was unbelievable.

Even after Song Zhong's body was split in two and he collapsed to the ground, it took the other three people to react.

"The essence of Japanese swordsmanship is indeed the swordsmanship inherited from the Great Qian Dynasty!"

After sensing the sharpness of Toyotomi Hidekawa's swordsmanship, Chen Jie retreated swiftly.

The combined power of the three top experts from the East was immense, forcing Chen Jie to avoid their sharp edge.

The combined attack from the four of them was incredibly powerful, effectively sealing off almost all of his escape routes.

Chen Jie used the most domineering method to directly confront Song Zhong's Mitsubishi rapier, and with thunderous force, he shattered Song Zhong's Mitsubishi rapier and killed him with a single sword strike.

but,

Exhausted, he was no longer able to finish off the other three powerful Japanese fighters in one fell swoop.

However, his footwork was extremely fast, fleeting in an instant.

Just as Toyotomi Hidekawa's "Wind-Facing Slash" was about to strike, he shifted his feet to the side, instantly dodging the deadly attack.

The One-Sword Style sword technique was unleashed at full power, and the innate qi formed a terrifying shockwave that made the surroundings rustle.

Toyotomi Hidekawa, the invincible super-strong man from the Orient, is now going all out, unifying his essence, energy, and spirit, manifesting the Dao of the Sword, which is sinister and ruthless.

His martial arts willpower was as firm as a rock, and he remained completely unmoved when Song was killed by Chen Jie with a single sword strike.

Even his facial expression, blood circulation, condition, and true energy remained completely unchanged.

The 'Wind-Facing Slash' missed Chen Jie, but he didn't stop. Instead, he took two steps forward.

Clang——!
His strength exploded wildly, and his body swelled up, seemingly growing taller, as if he had been inflated.

next moment,
He swung his Japanese samurai sword horizontally, aiming straight for Chen Jie's vital organs—his chest, abdomen, and heart.

The momentum of this strike was even more ferocious than the previous "Wind-Facing Slash".

His sword technique, refined through the essence of magic, allowed the surrounding environment to be integrated into this deadly move.

The sword's momentum is unified!

It seems that this strike was made specifically to accomplish the mission of killing Chen Jie.

Faced with Toyotomi Hidekawa's fierce attack, Chen Jie quickly retreated a few steps, then stopped, not even glancing at his opponent.

He flicked his longsword, lowered his wrist, and swung it horizontally in a backhand motion.

Sword Saint Technique - So Close Yet So Far!
He unleashed a sword saint's technique without holding back at all.

At this moment, Chen Jie made up his mind to unleash his full power and kill these old Japanese guys.

These old guys are the top masters of Japanese martial arts, like pillars of strength.

Their attack methods are unpredictable and elusive; once they launch a sudden encirclement and attack, it is impossible to defend against them.

If Chen Jie continues to retreat and dodge, it will be very difficult to reverse the situation once he is put on the defensive.

Only through hard-fighting and overwhelming force can we break their willpower.

One should press on with full force, but then falter!

As long as their vital energy can be suppressed, these old guys' condition will quickly decline.

boom!
In a direct clash, Toyotomi Hidekawa sensed that Chen Jie's swordplay contained terrifying innate sword energy.

The longsword clashed head-on with the Japanese samurai sword, and his bones and muscles made a piercing sound, as if they were about to be shattered.

at the same time,

His ears were ringing and he felt dizzy.

It was as if I had been violently struck by something, causing my blood and qi to churn and resulting in deafness in both ears.

"not good--!"

Toyotomi Hidekawa was taken aback and suddenly stepped back.

His bones and muscles crackled and popped incessantly, their resonance dispelling the negative effects.

However, the churning blood and qi, subjected to a violent impact, could not be calmed down.

His heart pounded violently, and his muscles involuntarily spasmed and trembled. At that moment, he knew he was truly too old, and his life potential was nearing its end.

Faced with Chen Jie's domineering sword move, he felt the breath of death.

but,

Just as Chen Jie's sword strike nearly shattered Toyotomi Hidekawa's body, causing his condition to plummet and him to be about to be killed by Chen Jie's sword, the moment came.

Chen Jie was forced to retreat and could no longer launch an attack.

Because suddenly, a vicious samurai sword appeared from his ribs.

at the same time,

A Japanese samurai sword was hurtling towards his spine, about to pierce through it.

Even more terrifying is,
His groin was enveloped in murderous intent, and a Japanese samurai sword burst from the ground with a piercing roar.

The three super-strong individuals made their moves almost simultaneously.

That's right,

Not two, but three powerful individuals who were "indestructible even when facing gods," unleashed their most terrifying killing move at this moment.

In particular, the knife that suddenly burst forth from the ground was unexpected and avoided Chen Jie's spiritual sense detection.

There were originally five powerful individuals who were "indestructible even when facing gods".

One of them had been hiding underground until now, when his whereabouts were finally revealed.

at this time,

The three powerful figures instantly unleashed their ultimate techniques, delivering a fatal blow to Chen Jie.

Chen Jie faced Toyotomi Hidekawa head-on, a man who suddenly launched an attack from the ground. He was small and thin, like a monkey, and wore a black ninja outfit.

His skin was like that of an old pine tree; he looked very old and was about to be buried.

No wonder Chen Jie's spiritual sense couldn't detect this person's presence; it turned out that he had used the "turtle breathing technique" to shield his own energy.

At this moment, he immediately unleashed a "sky-piercing slash," bursting forth from the ground.

He was originally a grandmaster of the Japanese Demon Blade School, named Kameda Soichi, and the strongest member of the 'Demon Blade School' ninja sect.

As Chen Jie repelled Toyotomi Hidekawa with a single sword strike, his katana instantly launched an attack on Chen Jie's vital lower body.

To Chen Jie's right was a tall, burly Japanese ninja.

He doesn't look old, but he's actually much older than he appears.

This man was Tokugawa Hideaki, the chief military officer of the Imperial Guard, and one of the most capable military commanders under Emperor Meiji.

When Chen Jie first went to the Daqian Armory, Tokugawa Ieyasu's martial arts were only at the "Great Completion of Meridian Opening and Qi Strengthening" level, the same as Huang Zhidao's martial arts level.

but,

With the help of Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman in the Orient, Tokugawa Hideki finally broke through to the realm of 'indestructible upon seeing a god'.

of course,

His breakthrough came at the cost of sacrificing his own life potential and forcibly increasing his combat power at the expense of damaging his own foundation.

At this moment, he unleashed his full power in swordsmanship. Although he was incredibly tall, his swordsmanship was exquisite and agile, completely disproportionate to his size.

With continuous swings of the sword, it was as if a light drizzle was falling around them, making it impossible to discern the direction of the sword strikes.

His arm was like a willow branch swaying in the wind, dancing in the breeze.

In an instant,
His samurai sword approached Chen Jie and slashed a hole in Chen Jie's clothes at the waist.

Like willow branches brushing against your face, silent and unpredictable.

This insidious and ruthless killing move is far more dangerous than a fierce and domineering counterattack.

The old man behind Chen Jie unleashed a deafening slash with his sword.

Sky-Splitting Slash!
Just as the katana was about to reach Chen Jie's body, it suddenly vibrated violently, the blade wobbled, and emitted a buzzing sound, like thunder at sunset.

The old man who attacked from behind was none other than Fujiwara Yasuyasu, another of the most powerful ninja grandmasters in the East!
In that brief exchange of blows, although Chen Jie killed Song Zhong with one sword and then repelled Toyotomi Hidekawa with another, he still managed to do so.

but,

However, Chen Jie lost the initiative under the combined attack of three powerful figures who were "indestructible even when facing gods": Kameda Soichi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Fujiwara Yasuyasu.

The three super strong individuals besieged Chen Jie, almost completely blocking any escape routes.

Underfoot, right side, back!

There was no way to avoid it, and no way to retreat.

Just as Chen Jie was about to fall into the opponent's killing move, he unexpectedly became even more ferocious and ruthless when facing the encirclement and attack of three super strong people.

When faced with three samurai swords, he made an unbelievable move.

He neither parried with his sword, nor retreated to dodge, nor did he unleash a sword strike to counterattack.

suddenly,
His body suddenly jolted.

Click—click—!
Bone-shrinking technique!
At that moment, Chen Jie's body twisted, bent, and contracted at an indescribable angle.

In the blink of an eye, his body shrank by several inches.

This is the manifestation of the Dharma power of the "Thirteen Protectors Horizontal Training," allowing the body to condense in the shortest possible time.

Just like a balloon suddenly deflated, his entire body shrank.

And at the moment his body contracted, his body swayed from side to side.

This sudden change caused the three top Japanese martial arts masters to miss their targets with their katana.

Although the three 'God-like' experts possessed unparalleled control over their swordsmanship.

After their attack missed, they lowered their katana, changed direction, and continued to attack Chen Jie's vital points.

but,

Just as the samurai swords of the three top Japanese masters were about to reach Chen Jie again.

He suddenly exerted force with his feet, and then the ground shook violently.

With a loud, explosive sound, Chen Jie's figure soared into the air.

Using this immense recoil force, he caused the katana of the three Japanese super-strong warriors to miss their target once again.

In an instant,

Chen Jie's body in the air was like a falling meteorite, swooping down towards Toyotomi Hidekawa, who had not yet recovered.

Arrow-like legs!

After his body was airborne, the downward momentum was incredibly strong.

This powerful kick was aimed at Toyotomi Hidekawa's vital chest, and was incredibly fierce.

Toyotomi Hidekawa sensed a deadly danger.

At that moment, he had not yet recovered and felt a buzzing in his brain.

Unstoppable!
Without time to think, Toyotomi Hidekawa took three steps to the side, instinctively stepping on the Seven Stars.

However, what he didn't expect was that Chen Jie suddenly swung out a claw the instant an arrow leg grazed past him.

Dragon Claw Hand - Azure Dragon Force!

This claw strike was incredibly skillful, seemingly calculated with perfect precision, and it actually grabbed Toyotomi Hidekawa's arm.

Whoosh-!
The powerful impact sent Chen Jie flying five meters away, still holding onto Toyotomi Hidekawa.

Click!

Chen Jie flicked his hand, sending Toyotomi Hidekawa flying several meters away, blocking the direction of the other three's attack.

A piercing sound of bones cracking rang out, and Toyotomi Hidekawa's body rolled more than ten meters on the ground before coming to a stop.

broken!

Toyotomi Hidekawa's arm, struck violently by the Dragon Claw Hand, was completely shattered, blood and flesh splattering everywhere! (End of Chapter)
