Quickly conquer the martial arts world, and let your fists dominate the heavens!

Chapter 259 You've been waiting for me!
Chen Zhan's figure swept past the two samurai. Kawashima Hirako was right in front of him, but Chen Zhan deliberately slowed down a little, a smile appearing on his lips.

Because he sensed it—the person he was waiting for had made their move!

Suddenly, two short blades glowed blue in the void, and a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere.

One of the short blades, flashing blue light, was thrust towards Chen Zhan's right eye, while the other was aimed at his heart.

These two short blades are quite peculiar; they are neither daggers nor swords, but rather resemble the "Mandarin Duck Axes," crafted from two crescent-shaped blades of varying lengths, each with a four-lobed edge and a sharp axe blade at each edge.

The "Shadow Assassin" of the Divine Concealment Sect specializes in ambushing opponents when they are focused on what's in front of them. They can even hide their presence in the environment, making them undetectable to ordinary experts.

The two blades suddenly appeared from the side, and Kawashima Hirako's eyes widened in surprise.

But Chen Zhan had anticipated this. The blade flashed and turned, the hidden blade and back blade techniques happening in an instant. He reversed his grip on the Tang horizontal sword, and the blade flashed from below to block the two short blades in front of him.

"I've been waiting for you!"

Chen Zhan roared and turned around, wielding both swords at once, slashing towards Tsukishima in the shadows!
Upon entering the Black Dragon Society, Chen Zhan sensed something was amiss, because the Black Dragon Society lacked top-tier experts, at least none capable of tracking down and capturing Ding Lianshan.

If it were just those few guys, there would be no way they could have found Ding Lianshan and Gong Shu in the wild, let alone killed them on the spot.

Although it was called a siege, at least there were top-notch experts who tracked down Ding Lianshan and then kept him occupied, which gave them a chance.

Therefore, Chen Zhan was deliberately waiting. Kawashima Hirako's identity was not ordinary. Killing her was not the only purpose, but to lure out that person and kill them together.

Sparks flew as the twin blades slashed through the air, shattering the opponent's short blade instantly. Chen Zhan didn't care whether it would damage the blades.

As they moved closer, the man in front of them was completely hidden in black clothes and shadows, with only a small gap in the black cloth covering his eyes, revealing a sharp gaze.

This person was not surprised that Chen Zhan turned against him.

Because he had to protect Hirako Kawashima, and if Hirako Kawashima died, he would also be buried with her.

"Lord Hirako, leave quickly, I cannot hold this person off for long."

Tsukishima's short blade was broken, and he pulled out a Kusanagi sword from his waist. The sword was over two feet long and completely black, making it almost invisible in the night.

The Hidden God Sect shares similarities with various ninja schools, excelling in assassination and tracking. However, the difference lies in its elite system, where only three top-tier "Hidden Assassins" are trained at each stage of the sect, and they are loyal only to the Emperor.

Therefore, the first thing Tsukishima did after arriving in China was to cooperate with the Black Dragon Society to wipe out the Wanhua Escort Agency, which was of course at the behest of Kawashima Hirako.

Kawashima Hirako did not run away after hearing this. She was confident that as long as Tsukishima kept Chen Zhan occupied, she could take advantage of the situation and kill Chen Zhan, her great enemy!
She took two steps back and gestured towards the distance.

Chen Zhan also naturally sensed Kawashima Hirako's intentions. A venomous aura from afar was staring intently at him, with more than a dozen dangerous auras, no less powerful than the gunman who had stopped him from killing Mitsui Hayato in the arena earlier.

But Chen Zhan also wanted to test his limits.

"Kill you first, then kill her, no need to rush!"

Chen Zhan pressed on, subtly changing his grip on the sword to the Bagua double sword grip. He took a step forward, his figure shifting, and to the gunman in the distance, Chen Zhan appeared as several overlapping figures, making it impossible to discern his exact location.

But it is extremely fast.

Rolling cleaver!
The two swords spun counterclockwise simultaneously, cleaving towards Tsukishima like a wheel.

The opponent parried the attack with his Kusanagi sword, but the impact left his hands numb, and he continued to retreat.

Chen Zhanyu's steps were much faster than his retreat, catching up in one step. He alternated thrusting forward with his two swords, one up and one down, one left and one right, like "piercing flowers"—the Bagua Piercing Flower Sword!

Tsukishima reacted extremely quickly. He dodged one of the piercing blades from above and below, only managing to land a blow to the back, on his right rib. However, Tsukishima was wearing armor, which absorbed 90% of the force of the blow, severing only one rib.

Otherwise, Chen Zhan's seemingly effortless swordsmanship concealed a terrifying internal force that could cut anyone in half at the waist.

The opponent's Transformation Realm martial artist is no good, nor is the Core Formation Realm expert.

When Wang Ziping arrived, he was cut in two around the waist and abdomen.

There's no way around it; powerful weapons are applied equally to everyone.

No matter how fiercely one cultivates their qi and blood, or how skillfully they master their fist techniques, they cannot withstand a single blow from a divine weapon.

This is the fate of martial artists; humans are not gods.

Therefore, in the ring, it's always weapons against weapons, fists against fists, with weapons having a huge advantage over fists.

Let alone those of the same level, even those a whole realm higher wouldn't dare claim to be able to catch a blade barehanded.

He could easily be hacked to death on the spot.

Chen Zhan's sword strike failed to kill the opponent. Knowing that the opponent was wearing some kind of armor, he immediately changed his sword technique and only cut the neck and wrist!
Tsukishima was struggling to stay afloat when Kawashima Hirako roared, "Shoot! What are you all standing there for?" She didn't understand martial arts, couldn't see the subtlety of Chen Zhan's footwork, and didn't understand why the gunmen in the distance weren't firing.

As soon as she urged them, shots were indeed fired from over there.

Several people were in different positions, and their view was blocked by Tsukishima's figure. The remaining seven or eight people fired several shots.

Specially made guns and bullets, prepared specifically for martial arts masters like Chen Zhan.

And it has been tested many times.

At the drill ground of the Japanese headquarters in Fengtian, several martial arts masters from Fengtian were used as targets, running around and being hunted down by the Japanese.

Almost every two or three shots will hit, and once it does, it will leave a huge hole, a massive wound, with terrifying penetrating power that would render even martial arts masters unable to move.

But this time, they're targeting Chen Zhan!

The moment the shot was fired, Chen Zhan felt as if he were being pricked by thorns, but he had expected it, and most of his attention was focused on the killing intent of the gunman in the distance.

Otherwise, Tsukishima would have been killed by him with a single blow long ago; even a Transformation Realm cultivator couldn't withstand more than a few of his moves.

The Four Spirits, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Nine Palaces and the Eight Trigrams, with his feet stepping on the Yu Step and the Nine Spirits Dipper, his figure turned rapidly, instantly clashing with Yue Dao's figure. The bullets did not hit Chen Zhan, but one hit Yue Dao's left leg.

Blood splattered instantly, and a large hole, the size of a baby's fist, was punched into his left leg!
As Tsukishima was struck, Chen Zhan drew his sword the instant he passed by him!

Without even looking, Chen Zhan thrust his twin swords backward. The blades felt resistance, and Chen Zhan felt a pang of heartache for his swords, but he still used all his strength to thrust them in!

"Pfft!"

The blade pierced his body, and Chen Zhan spun the blade!

"Crash!~"

Disemboweled! Blood and flesh flew everywhere, all the internal organs were ripped out!

"I'll disembowel you, you're welcome!"

The moment Chen Zhan's blade pierced his body, Kawashima Hirako roared again, "Kill him!!!"

But actually, she didn't need to say anything; the dozen or so gunmen over there were all seasoned veterans who would naturally be able to assess the situation.

Shoot immediately!
"Clap clap~"

The gunshots were slightly muffled. This kind of specially made firearms sounded different from ordinary ones. More than a dozen bullets were fired. Chen Zhan turned to leave, but found that he encountered a slight obstacle when he drew his knife!
Even on the verge of death, Tsukishima was still able to exert force to block Chen Zhan's knife!

Although Chen Zhan drew his twin swords with a slight exertion, that brief pause disrupted the rhythm of the Yu Bu Ta Dou (a martial arts technique).

Chen Zhan lunged forward, carrying Tsukishima's corpse, and took most of the bullet damage.

However, because Tsukishima's abdomen was completely shredded, two bullets passed through his body and entered Chen Zhan's back!
"Hit!"

Kawashima Hirako was overjoyed. When this kind of bullet hit a person, it was more like a cannonball than a bullet, blasting a big hole directly, just like Tsukishima had just done.

Chen Zhan was shot; even if he didn't die, he certainly wouldn't escape.

However, she was also a little puzzled. When such a bullet enters the body, it should make a "bang!" sound and explode into a spray of blood.

But it's different with Chen Zhan.

It's more like a regular bullet entering the body, penetrating deep inside, and then disappearing without a trace.

However, even without her command, Chen Zhan's level of danger was too high, and no one let their guard down.

Gunshots rang out again, dense and numerous, heading straight for Chen Zhan.

Chen Zhan, who had been shot and knocked down earlier, sprang up as if nothing had happened. He moved nimbly, dodging around like a monkey leaping through the mountains or an old ape climbing a mountain.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Zhan leaped back and forth, not only dodging the gunfire but also arriving in front of Kawashima Hirako.

"You!!! How come you're alright?"

Hirako Kawashima stared at Chen Zhan in horror, but all she got in return was a knife!

A line of blood grows from the lower abdomen to the center of the forehead!
"Pfft~"
