Chapter 123: Sword Points East Yang, King of Combat
"Leng Hanshan! Xingyi Sect Sixth Generation Chief Disciple, a true Grandmaster-level Powerhouse!"
"Aura like a rainbow, unstoppable, infinite fighting spirit... too strong!"
"The oppression he gives me is completely incomparable to a 'Half-Step Grandmaster'."
Leng Hanshan twenty meters away, although he appears uninjured all over.
However,
If one observes carefully, one can still see at a position two inches below his throat, a hole with the diameter of a silver dollar.
Penetrating wound!
Through the hole at the throat one can see the scenery on the opposite side.
The terrifying injury condition simply makes one find it hard to believe.
One saber blocks, one saber splits!
Wu wu...
Next moment,
Only to see Chen Jie's body fly backwards.
A bursting sound transmits out.
Very obvious,
Just now at the instant he emitted the 'Tiger Roar', he erupted a Rushing Punch.
One punch like a fierce tiger's momentum, forcibly blocked Chen Jie this strike fast as thunder 'Twin Saber Style'!
"Cough cough... cough cough...!"
This punch, looks clean and neat, fierce and overbearing.
This is not a saber wound, nor an arrow wound!
According to 'Kuang Tianyou's' memory, Eldest Senior Brother 'Leng Hanshan' defected to the Imperial Court.
'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff body lands, stands steadily on the Ground.
In a blink,
He vanishes from the spot, body rushing forward rapidly.
At this time, his eyes reveal a thread of shock.
Fist technique like a fierce tiger, penetrates his twin sabers' attack gap, instantly smashes him flying with one punch.
His fist clenches tight, presenting a fist diving momentum.
Chen Jie takes a deep breath, whole body fighting spirit reaches peak.
"Bang...!"
Under the amplification of Saber Dao Third Realm — Saber Momentum.
"Ao wu..."
Just now the Twin Saber Style killing move erupted, he fundamentally had no holding back.
Twin sabers attack momentum, instantly cracked!
Using fist technique to break saber!
The 'Sunset Blade Intent' erupted by the twin sabers, was actually crushed on the spot by one punch tiger roar!
The air seems to have been split open by Chen Jie's saber technique, emitting wu wu booming.
Target is 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff's head.
Swish...!
Qi Family Saber Technique — Twin Saber Style!
Chen Jie's foot stomps fiercely, Locust Step instantly erupts.
However,
"Go all out once!"
Just how did he die in the end?
A fierce roar, like a tiger roar...!
Chen Jie's body rushes forward rapidly, simultaneously the wooden table leg in his hand transforms into a Changdao.
He is like a streak of Lightning, rapidly approaching 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff.
As he charges into 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff's twenty-meter Alert Zone range.
Xingyi Sect Sixth Generation Chief Disciple Leng Hanshan, when alive what opponent did he encounter? Able to pierce his throat in one move, one hit kill!
Bang...!
Just at this time, 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff's Alert Zone triggers.
Chen Jie climbs up from the Ground, cannot help but cough a few times.
His figure twists, the whole body suddenly charges forward.
This Twin Saber Style, like wind sweeping remnant clouds, sweeps down.
At this time,
'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff stands twenty meters away, seems to have discovered Chen Jie.
Xingyi Twelve Forms — Tiger Form!
Striking like a tiger descending the mountain, one punch erupts, tiger roars in the forest!
In an instant, his saber technique fundamentally cannot block a heavy punch.
He raises head quietly gazing at Chen Jie, just like waiting for Chen Jie to trigger his Alert Zone.
Pu tong...!
Immediately afterward, Chen Jie was seen falling five meters away.
Since I've encountered the Eldest Senior Brother of Xingyi Sect, I have to give it a try anyway.
Hiss—!
After getting up, Chen Jie retreated rapidly, pulling distance, retreating to twenty meters away.
At this moment,
Chen Jie's inner heart could not hide his shock, moved by the Tiger Form Charging Fist that 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff had just erupted.
Too strong—!
"That saber technique just now, although not my strongest killing move, its killing power is absolutely not low, and it also deployed the addition of Locust Worm Step!"
"I didn't expect such a fierce saber attack to actually be broken by him with one fist!"
"Not disgrace to be the Sixth Generation Chief Disciple of Xingyi Sect, a Grandmaster-level Powerhouse, indeed terrifying!"
You must know,
According to the memory in the brain, Eldest Senior Brother 'Leng Hanshan' had just broken through to the Grandmaster Realm not long ago.
If it were an old generation Grandmaster-level Powerhouse of Xingyi Sect, his strength would become even more powerful, simply unimaginable.
Chen Jie stood not far away, thinking for a moment!
Next,
He once again erupted with Collapsing Fist Fa Qiang Gong.
Fourth Form - Breaking Knife Style, Intercepting Kill Style, Crossing Fist Style...
Qi Family Saber Technique erupted fiercely, one saber after another, every saber fatal!
He held nothing back, went All Out, deployed his saber technique, launching a strong attack.
But,
No matter how fast Chen Jie's attack speed was, no matter how sharp his saber technique was, fast, ruthless.
The 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff in front could always Extremely Precisely predict all of Chen Jie's attacks.
Thud...
In the blink of an eye, Chen Jie was knocked down by one move once again!
Swish—!
At the same time, 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff stomped Foot Bu underfoot, one Lifting Kick, instantly kicking Chen Jie flying once again.
It was completely different from Third Senior Brother 'Kuang Tianyou' Chen Jie had encountered before.
Kuang Tianyou had always been inside the small courtyard, unable to leave half a step.
So,
Chen Jie could stand a few meters away, ruthlessly smash with bricks, finally smashing open 'Kuang Tianyou's' defense.
Truthfully,
That time killing 'Kuang Tianyou' Corpse Stiff, Chen Jie was equivalent to Cheating.
But facing 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff, Chen Jie as long as triggered its Alert Zone.
Then,
Within the twenty-meter Alert Zone, 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff not only struck instantly.
Simultaneously, he would keep hunting down until Chen Jie exited the twenty-meter range Alert Zone.
At this moment,
Chen Jie faintly had an illusion.
What he faced now was not Xingyi Sect Eldest Senior Brother 'Leng Hanshan', but an insurmountable great mountain!
Huff puff... huff puff...
After Chen Jie was kicked flying by 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff, he rolled a few circles outward along the way.
After getting up, he retreated rapidly, standing outside the twenty-meter Alert Zone, panting incessantly.
At this time,
The expression on his face became extremely solemn.
"Can't do it! Simply can't do it... too strong!"
"Even with my current Blade Path Realm, simply cannot tear open his defense, no way to fight!"
Chen Jie had a feeling.
'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff from head to toe, was like Copper Wall Iron Wall, defense not leaking a drop.
All of Chen Jie's attacks were precisely predicted by 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff.
To the extent that Chen Jie now fully deployed his saber technique, still could not shake 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff in the slightest.
"Could it be... this is the Grandmaster powerhouse's..."
Chen Jie took a Deep Breath, murmuring to himself: "Fist Momentum!?"
"Rumors say martial arts Grandmasters can condense Grandmaster Will, Fint Feeling becomes Momentum, Fist Momentum becomes Intent, Fist Intent becomes Gang!"
"Once Fist Momentum erupts, the whole body, the entire body is eyes, defense not leaking a drop!"
"Seeing it today, indeed powerful—!"
This was only a thread of 'Fist Momentum' remaining in 'Leng Hanshan' Corpse Stiff!
If it were a Grandmaster-level Powerhouse in peak condition, simply unable to shake in the slightest, and would even be Instant Killed by the other party in an instant!
No wonder as a 'Half-Step Grandmaster' Kuang Tianyou was slain with one saber!
The momentum of the Grandmaster Realm, simply too terrifying!
Half Hour later...
Chen Jie retreated again to twenty meters away, panting continuously.
He was already at his wit's end, completely out of moves.
At this moment,
he finally understood that although 'Half-Step Grandmaster' and 'Grandmaster' differed by only one Martial Arts Realm,
yet,
their Peak Combat Power was worlds apart.
Just like a chasm that could not be crossed.
Only a Grandmaster could be considered to have truly entered the hall of martial arts.
Below Grandmaster, all are ants!
Only by breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm could life truly undergo Nirvana and transformation!
This was a qualitative improvement in human martial arts, an evolution of life level!
"The only good news, perhaps, is that his power seems to be Suppressed!"
"'Leng Hanshan's' throat was pierced by something; before dying, he could not breathe, could not Condense Strength!"
"So although he retained Grandmaster Combat Awareness, his power was Weakened by a lot."
"Otherwise, even if I blocked with both sabers at full strength, I would be Instant Killed by him in an instant!"
Chen Jie sighed helplessly, feeling depressed in his Inner Heart.
"Forget it! Can't win, there's simply no Opportunity at all!"
"Grandmaster Level Corpse Stiff, not easy to kill!"
"Wait until my strength becomes Stronger, then come take him out!"
Chen Jie already felt tired and did not want to continue.
At this time,
he was like a low-level alt in a newbie village, suddenly encountering a BOSS that he simply could not chew through.
Although unwilling in his heart, not wanting to leave just like that.
But,
continuing to fight would only be a Waste of time.
And although 'Leng Hanshan's' power was Suppressed, it was not truly Weak; he just did not possess Grandmaster power, but was still Not Little Stronger than Chen Jie.
If Chen Jie continued fighting, once his condition dropped, he was very likely to be Instant Killed by the other side in one move.
The best method was to wait until he became Powerful, then come deal with it.
Anyway, he already knew this location, no rush!
After figuring it out, Chen Jie turned and left decisively!
……
Three days later.
The Wound on Chen Jie's Arms had already scabbed over.
The Physical Quality of a Martial Artist was extraordinary.
In these past few days, Chen Jie checked news on his phone, and specifically called Zhang Haonan to ask around indirectly.
Outside there was no news at all about him being hunted in the Alley.
That is to say,
although he killed four people and Seriously Injured seven people in the Alley.
But,
the news did not Come out, and moreover No One reported to the police.
Thus it could be seen,
the other side's Horse also Worried that the Affair would blow up bigger, so they Blockaded all the news.
In the coming time, Chen Jie planned to leave here.
After all, always living inside Huayue Lou's villa was not suitable.
Additionally,
the day he planned to go to Southeast Asia 'Wa State Concentration Camp' had only one week left.
Originally according to Xiao Zhan's suggestion and plan from the Third Brigade of the Municipal Bureau Major Case Group, it was prepared to let Chen Jie go to Southeast Asia on the fifteenth of this month.
But,
Chen Jie did not want to be constrained.
Another more important reason was, after the matter of being hunted in the Alley.
He was very clear that inside the police station, there were 'Tianyuan Group' informants.
So,
he found Xu Haihong, planning to set out early for Southeast Asia.
Big Brother's disappearance must be investigated clearly.
The root of everything was in 'Tianyuan Group' Southeast Asia Headquarters!
Chen Jie Dialed Xu Haihong's phone.
"Hello, Chen Jie, your matter of going to Southeast Asia has already been Arranged! However..." Xu Haihong on the other end of the phone said hesitantly.
"What's wrong? Speak directly..."
Chen Jie heard Xu Haihong's tone was somewhat off, Frowned and said.
"Cannot be made clear over the phone, I'll go to Xiangnan tomorrow to find you, talk face to face!"
Xu Haihong fell silent for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice.
"Fine, call me when you get there!" Chen Jie heard this and knew Xu Haihong definitely had something important.
……
At noon the next day.
Xu Haihong rushed from East China to Xiangnan.
The coffee shop opposite Xingguang Entertainment City.
After Xu Haihong met Chen Jie, he took out a photo from his bag and handed it to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie took the photo, glanced at it, and said in surprise:
"Whose photo is this? Why are you giving me this?"
"Are you going to Southeast Asia because you need to find this person?"
Xu Haihong shook his head, pointing at the photo as he said:
"Look at the information on the back of the photo."
Chen Jie flipped the photo over.

(One of Zhedong's most famous boxing arenas, 'Dongyang' Quan Chang, was cleared and dominated by Funakoshi Masao this month; if no one can challenge and defeat Funakoshi Masao within three months, 'Dongyang' Quan Chang will be closed!)
……
"A Japanese person? You want me to...?"
Chen Jie finished reading the data, narrowed his eyes, and looked up at Xu Haihong.
"The situation is this: recently, the Japanese arranged a batch of top experts to come to China!"
"Before I came to find you last month, these Japanese had already swept through many boxing arenas in Hua Nan."
"Their strength is very strong; they took away a lot of funds from various boxing arenas in Hua Nan and injured many resident boxers of those arenas."
"Now, they have finally begun to advance into East China and launched an operation, wanting to sweep through all the major boxing arenas in East China!"
"Of course, we cannot sit and wait for death, so we naturally invited top experts such as the domestic 'Eighteen Arhats' and 'Twelve Heavenly Kings' to hold the fort."
"In the skirmishes during this period, each side had wins and losses!"
Xu Haihong explained calmly.
However,
From his expression, one could see his inner heart was filled with worry.
Chen Jie asked strangely:
"What exactly do these Japanese want to do? What benefit do they get from sweeping away underground boxing arenas across the country?"
Xu Haihong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Sweeping away major boxing arenas across the country is just a sign; their purpose... is to unify the domestic underground gambling boxing market!"
"The Japanese have a big appetite, and their ambition is even greater!"
After saying this,
Xu Haihong sighed and said: "The 'Dongyang' Quan Chang in Zhedong is one of the branches of our East China 'Da Fuhuo' Quan Chang!"
"A few days ago, the 'Dongyang' Quan Chang was swept; if no one can challenge and defeat Funakoshi Masao within three months, then the 'Dongyang' Quan Chang will be forced to close."
"I came to find you to beg you: before you go to Southeast Asia, can you help us sweep away this Japanese?!"
"Five million! This is paid to you in advance as your appearance fee for participating; additionally... as long as you can sweep away this guy, there is a ten million prize reward!"
"This guy is a top expert of Japan's Inagawa Association; 'Iron Leg' Dong Ao of the domestic Twelve Heavenly Kings has already lost to him!"
Chen Jie heard this and slightly furrowed his brow.
Yamaguchi-gumi, Sumiyoshi-kai, Inagawa Association!
This is one of Japan's three major organizations, and the forces behind it are very powerful.
This guy is Japan's Fighting King, his strength is extraordinary, even stronger than 'Thai Boxing King' Sawa.
Sigh!
Chen Jie took a deep breath and slightly furrowed his brow.
