Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

The power of the Dragon Claw Hand was on full display at this moment.

Behind Chen Jie, a 'dragon claw' suddenly appeared, exuding an aura of dominance.

"idiot--!"

Toyotomi Hidekawa's body rolled on the ground for more than ten meters before coming to a stop.

He endured the pain of his severed arm, pushed off with his feet, and sprang to his feet.

Whoosh-!
Next, his body, like a flea, miraculously reversed and returned to its original position.

To perish together, man and blade as one!

At that moment, his body, aided by the recoil of the force, spun at high speed, aiming directly at Chen Jie's vital point on the midline of his chest and abdomen.

A self-sacrificing killing move—the Wave-Breaking Blade!

This is a self-sacrificing killing move from the Koga school of ninjutsu in the East, and it is the oldest sacrificial sword technique.

Toyotomi Hidekawa truly lived up to his reputation as a super strong ninja of the East. Even when the situation was unfavorable, after Chen Jie twisted his arm off, he unleashed his final trump card move.

In an instant,
His body seemed to transform into an enormous samurai sword, a desperate gamble, a fight to the death.

If he were facing someone else at this moment, or even a powerful expert in the late stage of "Unbreakable Godhood", then suddenly unleashing a killing move that would result in mutual destruction would likely succeed.

unfortunately,

The Qianwang Chen Jie he faced was an invincible master who possessed the inheritance of the Martial Saint Sect and had condensed the 'Martial Dao Dharma Image' of all three martial arts.

Toyotomi Hidekawa's desperate attempt was doomed to failure.

Click!

His leg transformed into a samurai sword, and just as it was about to reach Chen Jie's vital heart, it was grabbed by a hand.

Chen Jie's Dragon Claw Hand is like a steel claw, with five fingers forming hooks.

Toyotomi Hidekawa's body was spinning rapidly in the air when suddenly his legs were grabbed, preventing him from exerting any more force, and the spinning came to an abrupt stop.

Just as he was taken aback and was about to use his other leg to execute a scissor-like strike,

Chen Jie clenched his fists suddenly, and his strength exploded at that moment.

After Toyotomi Hidekawa's leg was grabbed, his eyes widened and his face turned deathly pale.

His blood surged, and a bead of blood appeared on his forehead.

This is forcibly stimulating the body's potential, causing blood to seep from the body's pores.

In an instant, the ninja master, the most outstanding ninja in Japanese martial arts, lost control of his energy as if it had gone completely out of control.

It was obvious that he had begun to forcibly burn his life potential, and his blood and strength had reached their peak.

this moment,
His condition was just like Song Zhong's earlier, giving people the feeling of a 'last gasp before death'.

"go to hell--!"

Just as Toyotomi Hidekawa unleashed his full power, Chen Jie snorted coldly.

Whoosh!
Immediately afterwards, he took a few steps back, loosened his grip, and instantly created distance between himself and his opponent.

Toyotomi Hidekawa began to forcefully burn his potential, condensing his internal energy and swelling up. How could he let Chen Jie create distance so easily?

He sprinted forward at lightning speed, trying to coil around Chen Jie like a giant python.

It seems that this super strong member of the Eastern Ninja Clan has lost the demeanor of a grandmaster of ninjutsu.

He was like a rogue, completely haphazard, trying to entangle his opponent and perish together with Chen Jie.

At this moment, Toyotomi Hidekawa unleashed a fatal blow—a self-destruction of true energy!
He had already disregarded life and death. As long as he got close to Chen Jie, he would instantly entangle him and restrict his movements, thus creating a final chance for the other three Japanese masters.

This assassination must succeed; it cannot fail!

The price of failure is death!

One bursts into full power, sprinting at top speed, while the other retreats, creating distance.

The two sides began their contest, and speed broke through the limits at this moment.

Swish!
Chen Jie stomped his foot to steady himself, a cold glint in his eyes.

He held the Wuji Sword in one hand, pointing it diagonally at the ground, and took a step to avoid a pursuit attack from Toyotomi Hidekawa.

"Want to take us both down with you?! Today I'll show you my self-created Sword Saint Technique!"

Suddenly, Toyotomi Hidekawa heard Chen Jie's cold snort.

His true energy had been forcibly burned to the critical point, and he felt no pain. He became extremely insane.

His body brushed past Chen Jie, avoiding Chen Jie's claw attack.

Clang——!
Sword Saint Technique - Yearning!
I only wish your heart were like mine, then I would never betray your love!

This Sword Saint Technique is the first Sword Saint Technique that Chen Jie created himself, using the 'Storm' of the Wuji Sword Saint as its core.

The sword materializes, following you like a shadow, breaking through the shackles of the ultimate realm, touching the profound meaning of the 'Dao Realm', and its power is multiplied.

Pfft——!
A flash of sword light swept across Toyotomi Hidekawa's chest.

Although Toyotomi Hidekawa avoided Chen Jie's Dragon Claw Hand, he could not dodge this [Sword Saint Technique].

His chest and abdomen were instantly slashed by Chen Jie's sword strike.

After taking this sword strike, his body was split in two at the chest.

His lower body continued to lunge forward, and although his upper body moved forward two meters due to inertia, it quickly stopped and fell to the ground with a thud.

boom!
Toyotomi Hidekawa's lower body lurched forward, then he tripped over something and fell to the ground.

At this moment, his upper body was about ten meters away from his lower body.

Fresh blood gushed out from the cut in the chest and abdomen.

The internal organs flowed out of the body, a shocking sight that made one's scalp tingle.

This is completely different from the situation when Song Zhong was killed by a single sword strike. Song Zhong was cleaved vertically by a sword strike, while Toyotomi Hidekawa was cleaved horizontally by a sword strike.

Chen Jie's sword strike, "Longing," unleashed his full potential.

Toyotomi Hidekawa had no time to defend himself; his body was cleaved in two, his head severed from his body.

A massive shockwave swept through the surroundings, scattering blood everywhere.

Caught off guard, Chen Jie was splattered with blood and looked extremely disheveled.

The power of a self-destruction of true qi is extraordinary.

This shows that the trump card moves of any 'indestructible' powerhouse are incredibly powerful.

Even with Chen Jie's reaction speed and spiritual perception, he couldn't avoid the self-destruction of true energy.

but,

Even if his 'true qi self-destruction' was powerful, Chen Jie was the first to cut him in two with a single sword strike.

His body fell to the ground and turned into a puddle of mud, beyond dead.

Chen Jie's spiritual refinement had broken through to the 'Concentrated Observation' stage, and he could sense the state of Toyotomi Hidekawa's true energy when it was condensed.

He quickly found the flaw in the opponent's 'true qi self-destruction' and severed the opponent's body with a single sword strike, preventing Toyotomi Hidekawa's final 'true qi self-destruction' from fully erupting and causing him to fail at the last moment.

After killing Toyotomi Hidekawa with a single sword strike.

Chen Jie did not stop his attack, but instead suddenly lowered his body and twisted instantly.

At that moment, the sword in his hand seemed to transform into a real dragon.

Sword energy transforms into a dragon!

A sword shadow hovered over his body as he lunged forward, disappearing in an instant.

Whoosh-!
In an instant, he appeared in front of Tokugawa Hideki.

Clang!
With a swift, diagonal thrust, he clashed head-on with the Japanese samurai sword in Tokugawa Ihide's hand.

At the same time, he clenched his fist like iron and smashed it toward Tokugawa Hideki's chest.

boom!
Mighty Vajra Fist!
This punch incorporated the external manifestations of the Thirteen Protectors' external martial arts, unleashing the power of the Iron Fist Kung Fu.

Tokugawa Hideki had no time to defend himself before Chen Jie punched him in the body.

Simultaneously,

Chen Jie swept his leg across, sending Tokugawa Hide flying five meters away.

Tokugawa Ishu fell heavily to the ground like a dead dog, his body turning into a lump of mud, and he died on the spot.

This most loyal military officer under Emperor Meiji of Japan, in order to enhance his combat power, forcibly stimulated his potential, breaking through to the 'indestructible before gods' realm. Yet, he was killed in a single move by Chen Jie. Boom!
at this time,

A piercing whooshing sound came from behind Chen Jie.

A slash flashed by, swift as lightning.

Chen Jie didn't have time to look closely before his body fell to the left, swaying as if in the wind.

At the same time, his toes firmly gripped the ground, and his entire body actually shifted five steps to the side, unleashing a 'Shadowless Step'!
Fujiwara Yasuyasu, who had ambushed Chen Jie from behind, was shocked to find that his sure-fire killing move had failed.

"idiot--!"

He couldn't help but roar, feeling a strong sense of crisis enveloping him, and quickly retreated.

but,

The moment Chen Jie unleashed the 'Shadowless Step', his sword did not stop.

Sword Saint Technique - No Thoughts!
His mind was clear and empty, without desires, wants, thoughts, or ideas!
Thump thump thump—!
Fujiwara Yasuyasu retreated five steps quickly, but he was still unable to avoid Chen Jie's sword saint technique killing move.

His throat was slashed by a sword, his head was separated from his body in an instant, his head flew several meters high, and blood splattered on the spot.

Pfft!
Immediately afterwards, a headless corpse fell to the ground, motionless.

Chen Jie didn't even glance at it, and lightly tapped the falling head with his sword.

boom!
The sword energy created a powerful explosion, and Fujiwara Yasuyasu's head was completely blown apart into pieces by the sword energy.

in a blink,
Of the five powerful individuals who were "indestructible even when facing gods," only Kameda Soichi remains.

This old man, as thin as a monkey, is so old he's almost ready to die.

He was a grandmaster of the Toyo Onikiri-ryu Ninja Clan, yet he was now fearless and unleashed his peak combat power.

He burned his own life force, slashing with a single blow, displaying the full power of the Ghost Blade Style.

One slash killed him, followed immediately by a short sword.

The combined attack of the two swords is unpredictable.

This is a dual-sword style attack, which is similar in concept to the dual-sword style of Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman in the Orient.

but,

Chen Jie knew that Kameda Soichi was using a variation of the "Demon Blade School," the most bizarre sword technique in the ninja dual-sword style.

Faced with Kameda Soichi's deadly move, Chen Jie remained expressionless and unmoved.

The Wuji Sword in his hand unleashed its innate sword energy to its limit, clashing fiercely with Kameda Soichi's katana.

The moment their swords clashed, he struck out with his left hand.

boom!
Just as Onita Soichi was about to dodge, Chen Jie's Prajna Zen Palm had already struck his abdomen.

In an instant,
This grandmaster of the 'Ghost Blade School' seemed to have all his power dissipated.

His arm hung down, and the samurai sword fell to the ground.

Chen Jie suddenly exerted force with his palm, and his innate qi erupted wildly, completely shattering his body.

A muffled sound rang out, and Chen Jie took half a step forward, grabbing Onita Souichi's body.

It's like an eagle catching a chick, exuding domineering power.

Onita Souichi felt dizzy and disoriented after the assassination attempt.

From beginning to end, he felt as if he were in a dream, which overturned his understanding of the world.

From the moment Song Zhong launched his attack until the end of the battle, the entire battle lasted no more than three minutes.

The assassination attempt, a joint effort by five powerful individuals who were "indestructible even when facing gods," actually failed!

All his strength vanished, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, where the cold was biting to the bone.

"Hmph! You're not qualified to kill me!"

Chen Jie grabbed Gui Tian Suoyi in front of him, gripping his neck, and said menacingly:

"Since you Japanese want to wage a full-scale war against the Great Qian Dynasty, then let's fight!"

"Killing the four of you will be my declaration of war against Miyamoto Musashi!"

Kameda Soichi was unable to move because Chen Jie had grabbed his neck.

but,

He truly lived up to his reputation as a grandmaster of the "Ghost Blade School" in the East. Even on his deathbed, he was still frantically circulating his inner energy, attempting to self-destruct and severely injure Chen Jie.

Unfortunately, he was already exhausted and had no chance of succeeding.
Chen Jie exerted force with his arm and then threw it, directly tossing Onita Souichi into the air.

Once his body had risen to several tens of meters and he could see the night view of the entire city of Jinling, Chen Jie was already walking out of the alley.

Bang!
This powerful martial artist from the East, who was "indestructible even when facing gods," exploded instantly when his body reached its peak.

Like fireworks bursting into the sky, displaying their final brilliance.

The night in Jinling
The assassination plan to "destroy Qian" by the four super-strongmen of the East and Song Zhong, the leader of the Brotherhood of the Great Qian Dynasty, a total of five 'indestructible' powerhouses, has completely failed!
In this battle, all five top masters were wiped out, not one was left alive!
The news sent shockwaves throughout the world!

-

"Quickly! Clean up everything around here, search carefully, and don't miss any clues."

"Take all these corpses back to the palace."

"The remaining traces that could not be concealed were all burned in one fire."

"All casualties among the Royal Guard should be sent to the infirmary at Ximentang's military camp!"

A raging fire was burning in this alley in Jinling City.

Within a 300-meter radius, Ximen Hall was heavily guarded, with layers of security.

Yuan Zhang looked up at the several corpses in front of him, their heads separated from their bodies. This former leader of the Jinling Tongbei Sect fell into deep thought.

Since Ximen Tang entered the capital and took control of the situation in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Yuanzhang became the head of the police force of the Jinling City government office, specifically responsible for maintaining public order.

He was surrounded by rows of elite soldiers from the Ximen Hall, and even a battalion of artillerymen and heavy machine gunners.

Everyone around was extremely busy at the moment, searching for corpses and remnants of the battle in the firelight.

Some people were cleaning up the surrounding area, while more people spread outwards, establishing a curfew, sealing off the scene, and searching for any remaining survivors.

When he received the news that Chen Jie had been assassinated, he led the elite of Ximen Hall to the scene of the assassination in the shortest possible time.

"Report, it has been confirmed that there were 46 casualties in the Ximentang personal guard. There was a violent explosion nearby just now."

"The prince is fine. He just greeted us and is now going back to the Qianwang Mansion to wash up and change."

"As for the assassins, seventy-seven died, including twelve extremely powerful ones. In addition, five elderly men were killed on the spot by the prince, leaving no one alive!"

"Judging from the traces around, all the assassins were killed, and no one escaped."

"It is obvious that the prince killed all the assassins, and none of them survived."

The fire was extinguished in less than fifteen minutes.

The casualties of the Royal Guard and the bodies of the assassins have been tallied.

Several tall, martial arts masters, exuding an aura of inner strength and iron will, looked extremely solemn.

They were wearing the uniforms of the yamen's security force and loudly reported the situation to Yuanzhang.

These people were all masters of the Tongbei Sect. They joined the Ximen Hall with Yuanzhang and became the heads of the Jinling Prefecture's garrison.

at this time,

When they reported to Yuanzhang, their faces were filled with shock.

They seemed to find the results of the investigation hard to believe.

Especially after recalling how the prince had greeted them and left so casually.

They never imagined that such a horrific assassination attempt had just taken place here.

The strength and identity of those five elders were too far removed from their own; they didn't know much about them.

but,

Those twelve experts who were killed by the prince were all masters of the Qi Condensation Realm.

How could the prince kill so many assassins all by himself?

Even having witnessed it with their own eyes, they still couldn't believe it—! (End of Chapter)
