Chapter 168: Shadowless Leg! Strength Advances by Leaps and Bounds

~14 min read 2,777 words

Deep night!

In the Dream Space.

Chen Jie's figure appeared on a side street of the "Tan Leg Gate".

During this period in the Dream Space, he continuously hunted "Soldier Corpse Stiffs", tempering his saber technique, leg technique, fist technique...

Ever since he killed Miyamoto Musashi at the East China "Da Fuhuo Boxing Arena" and went on a killing spree in the Underground Parking Lot.

Chen Jie's self-confidence was swelling.

His purpose for entering the Dream Space this time was very clear.

Kill the "Tan Leg Gate" Second Senior Sister Hong Mei.

——Absorb "Hong Mei's" memory, obtain the Tan Leg Gate's secret transmission "Divine Travel Twelve Changes"!

As long as he could obtain the "Divine Travel Twelve Changes", Chen Jie would be able to truly fuse and connect the Twelve Roads Tan Leg, making it unpredictable, and erupt with the strongest leg technique power.

According to Chen Jie's estimation and guess.

Unfortunately,

One saber intercepting kill, like wind sweeping away remnant clouds!

Behind Chen Jie, the surrounding thick fog seemed to have condensed into a fierce tiger-like phantom.

The surrounding gray thick fog was all swept up by the strong wind, forming a storm.

He quickly vetoed his own idea.

Yet this time he wanted to directly clash head-on with "Hong Mei".

The gray thick fog's fierce tiger phantom actually fused into this one saber of Chen Jie's.

Even though Chen Jie was separated from her by a distance of twenty meters, at this moment he had to admit that "Hong Mei" when alive was absolutely a very beautiful woman.

Strong wind whistled, the air seemed to explode at this moment.

The next moment, Chen Jie was just like a bow and arrow leaving the string, charging towards "Hong Mei".

The most core point: the change in leg technique speed, and the fusion of force generation.

Hum——!

At this moment,

Chen Jie entered an ethereal state.

Swish——!

Although Chen Jie's hand still held a wooden table leg, at this moment erupting with saber technique, it actually erupted with dazzling blade light.

This is the state formed after the blade momentum fully erupted in the Dream, able to condense everything in the surroundings into momentum.

If he could obtain the "Divine Travel Twelve Changes" force generation inheritance, he should be able to truly erupt the "Hundred Rends Leg" killing move!

Although truly "Hundred Rends" is impossible!

But if he could cultivate to the Great Accomplishment Realm, one leg erupting, forming "Twelve Rends" is very possible!

Of course,

Chen Jie charged at full power, experiencing this feeling of strong wind rushing his face.

"First clear out all the unstable factors in the surroundings, replenish my mental state, then come kill this female Corpse Stiff!?"

However,

The coordination of saber technique and footwork became more and more proficient, movements seamless, without the slightest hindrance.

Hong Mei's head of jet-black hair was so charming.

He couldn't wait any longer!

Woo woo...

"Hong Mei's" reaction speed was too fast; as long as her alert zone was triggered, she could react very quickly and erupt in offensive.

Inside the small courtyard to the east.

Being able to enter the Dream Space in his sleep was already thanking heaven and earth; where would he dare hope to bring real-world items in?

The following time.

In Chen Jie's mind he thought of "Feng Yuhai's" memory, everything about "Hong Mei".

No choice,

Sneak attack ineffective!

But this extreme speed charge was completely different from before.

Chen Jie muttered softly, a thread of fierce killing intent flashing in his gaze.

Before, the purpose of his charge was full-power offense, launching a sneak attack.

From the force of the Twelve Tan Legs Linked Style, Chen Jie seemed to have gained some comprehension, received inspiration.

Bang——!

He stomped his foot, the Locust Step erupting instantly.

"Wait for a hammer! If I can kill I'll kill, this isn't the first time facing 'Hong Mei'! If I can't kill then we'll see...!"

A moment later, he raised his head and saw that on the street outside the courtyard east of the Tan Leg Gate, there were actually still two squads of "Corpse Stiffs" patrolling and wandering everywhere.

Qi Family Saber Technique Fifth Move —— Intercepting Kill Form!

Xingyi Footwork —— Locust Step!

Chen Jie stood twenty meters away, looking at the slender-figured yet terrifyingly strong "Female Corpse Stiff"!

It appeared.

These are also just idle thoughts for when one has nothing to do; according to them is unrealistic.

Chen Jie quickly made up his mind.

So,

Chen Jie this time simply launched a direct assault from the front.

"How about this time? How to slay this 'Second Senior Sister' of Tan Leg Gate?"

What Half-Step Grandmaster, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster!

A sniper rifle can absolutely solve the problem.

Truthfully,

Chen Jie sometimes thought in his heart, how good it would be if he could bring items from reality in?

Just need to bring a sniper rifle into the Dream Space, and it can solve all obstacles inside 'Wu Kui City'.

If it still can't be solved, bring two, or bring in a big bag of 'pineapple grenades'.

His breathing became calm, and his whole person became extremely composed.

Having comprehended the state of 'momentum', the greatest manifestation is possessing the power of control.

Chen Jie could control his state, bringing the power of his saber technique to the maximum.

Clang!

One saber slash, Chen Jie like a tiger descending the mountain, brushed past beside 'Hong Mei'.

Next,

A bursting sound rang out, his body slammed into a wall.

No, not slammed!

But leverage counter-shock.

The moment Chen Jie charged over, he kicked off with force under his feet, his body instantly reversed.

The originally ancient and dilapidated wall was actually kicked open a large hole by Chen Jie with one leg.

Terrifying leg technique explosive power spread around the wall.

Crash...

The entire wall was like a giant stone falling on the water surface, instantly smashed into pieces.

Rubble from the wall flew everywhere, dust rose.

Thus it can be seen, how terrifying the explosive power of Chen Jie's heavy leg kick with leverage was.

With the collapse of the wall, a shockwave spread around.

At this moment,

Many 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' alert zones outside the wall were triggered.

More than ten 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' rushed toward Chen Jie's position.

Among them, the 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff' stood outside the collapsed outer area, suddenly raised his head and stared at Chen Jie.

It was like it had consciousness, its eyes were empty, but that demeanor gave people an extremely eerie feeling.

Next,

His empty eyes gazed toward Chen Jie's direction.

Swish!

Next moment,

This 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff' quickly disappeared from Chen Jie's sight.

Qi Family Saber Technique First Move - Horizontal Chop Style! Diagonal Slash Style!

Double move consecutive strike!

Crack!

Chen Jie expressionlessly put away the 'wooden table leg' in his hand.

He stood outside the collapsed wall, exactly twenty meters outside 'Hong Mei's' alert zone.

Under his feet were the 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff' and several other 'Soldier Corpse Stiff'!

Moment later.

The 'Corpse Stiff' turned into light points, pouring into Chen Jie's mind.

Hiss!

Absorbing the 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff's' memory, Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Did not expect this 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff's' identity and strength were completely different from other 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff'.

This 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff' was actually the squad leader of Great Blade Commander Ning Wuque's personal guard.

Hum!

Next,

The huge memory images belonging to the 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff' began to surge into Chen Jie's mind.

At this time,

Chen Jie had no time to digest its memory, could only temporarily seal it.

"Third Realm of Blade Technique - Blade Momentum! Use force to break skill!"

Chen Jie gripped the 'wooden table leg' in his hand, lowered his center of gravity, then rushed forward swiftly.

At this moment,

He no longer formed a charge with Xingyi Damage Chong Step, but changed to Snake Step.

Feet stepping triangle, waist forming a swaying momentum.

Diagonal strikes straight, straight strikes diagonal!

Integrating Xingyi Fist Method into Qi Family Saber Technique, forming the explosion of blade momentum.

Interception Form! Splitting Kill Momentum!

He used Snake Step to build charging inertia, and thrust forward with one saber.

Twenty meters of distance vanished in an instant, instantly closing the distance between them.

The surrounding thick mist once again condensed into Fierce Tiger Momentum, sweeping down toward Hong Mei.

At this moment, the air seemed to be twisted.

Like a fierce tiger pouncing on food, he unleashed a secret killing move with his strike!

Bang!

One saber split down with the momentum of thunder too fast to cover one's ears.

Unfortunately, Chen Jie's saber struck empty air.

Only a residual shadow was seen disappearing before Chen Jie.

Hiss!

At this moment, his gaze suddenly narrowed, and his inner heart was extremely shocked.

"This is... speed residual shadow!"

"Limit Speed! The secret not transmitted of Tan Leg Sect — Wu Ying Foot?"

"Too fast! Originally the speed under the legs could actually be fast to this extent."

Next, Chen Jie's inner heart was overjoyed beyond expectation.

"Worthy of being Tan Leg Sect's Second Senior Sister, and moreover a woman, an ultra-agile type 'Half-Step Grandmaster'!"

"Although the leg technique's power is not strong, the speed of kicking out the legs can be called explosive."

"Whether it is 'Hundred Shattering Legs' or 'Wu Ying Leg', the speed both surpasses the limit."

"If I kill you and absorb your memory, your speed inheritance will become mine!"

Chen Jie missed one move, did not panic, but charged forward at limit speed.

A moment later, he broke free from Hong Mei's warning range twenty meters away.

The next moment,

he took a deep breath, letting himself recover to the peak state.

His battle intent was tempered to the limit.

Swish!

Immediately after,

he launched another charge, a figure instantly rushing out.

"Go die!"

Chen Jie let out a wild laugh, thrusting forward with one saber.

Qi Family Saber Technique Third Form - Piercing Blade!

One saber reversed, circling back to assassinate!

Hum!

Chen Jie's waist twisted, like a wild deer looking back, the air trembling at this moment.

Saber technique is merciless!

Woo woo!

Strong wind whistled, sweeping the surroundings, sealing off all of Hong Mei's retreat routes!

Saber speed was extremely fast, rigid and tyrannical!

If viewed from outside, one could see that within two meters around Chen Jie, a saber net seemed to form.

In the blink of an eye,

the 'wooden table leg' in his hand unleashed thirty-six sabers, completely sealing the surroundings, locking onto Hong Mei's whole body area.

Piercing blade leaves no trace, slaying all under heaven!

Three Realm Saber Momentum, I am invincible!

This is an invincible state of mind, saber momentum fierce.

Terrifying saber momentum actually seemed to burst into a cluster of flames, like a real fierce tiger condensing.

At this moment,

Chen Jie's saber momentum erupted, faintly transmitting a tiger roar sound.

That slender figure was pierced through by one saber!

However,

saber momentum merciless, yet once again turned into a phantom, dispersing before Chen Jie!

One saber thrust empty!

Correct, thrust empty again!

Speed too fast!

Hiss!

Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath, his expression gloomy and terrifying.

He now finally understood why the martial arts saying goes:

Hundred Battles Hundred Solutions, only speed is unbreakable!

Ultra-agile type opponents are too fast; even if you have a way to crack him, it's hard to truly crack!

Difficult to deal with!

His 【Reaction Speed】 had already exceeded 0.11 seconds, agility absolutely not low, saber speed even more reached the limit.

But even so, he actually kept slashing and missing, which made him extremely depressed.

It was like facing a projection; every slash you swung, every fist you threw, you originally thought was sure to hit.

But,

Every single time it was hitting air!

This feeling is very hard to describe with suitable words.

However,

Chen Jie thought that in the future he would also be able to possess such speed, to obtain the Tan Leg Secret Transmission of 'Divine Travel Twelve Changes' and 'Hundred Rends Leg'.

His mood improved slightly.

"Hmph! I want to see just how fast you can be?"

Bang!

Chen Jie stomped his foot, gripping the 'wooden table leg' in his hand tight.

Qi Family Saber Technique Continuous Style!

Whoosh... whoosh...

Within a two-meter radius around Chen Jie, his saber technique at this moment formed a saber net.

The surroundings were as if a storm had whipped up, the scene heart-trembling.

Within the saber net.

A figure moved with the wind, nimble, agile beyond description.

Its speed was too fast, overturning Chen Jie's understanding.

Even fast enough that Chen Jie's 【Reaction Speed】 could not capture its figure.

Even with Chen Jie unleashing the Qi Family Saber Technique with all his might, his limit speed could only barely keep up with the rhythm of the figure's movement, fundamentally unable to inflict effective injury on it.

"It's merely a 'Corpse Stiff', only possessing the most basic Combat Awareness, yet its speed is this terrifying!"

"If she hadn't died, with a 'Half-Step Grandmaster' realm, unleashing it fully, what level would her peak speed reach?"

Chen Jie's heart was incomparably shocked.

This kind of limit speed, simply can be called 'unsolvable'!

With Chen Jie's saber technique unable to even touch the opponent, how to fight?

It's only because 'Hong Mei' has already become a 'Corpse Stiff', losing subjective consciousness.

When Chen Jie triggered her Alert Zone, attracted her aggro, only then could Chen Jie exchange blows with her.

To put it simply,

She just cannot leave this area.

If she possessed even a thread of subjective consciousness, even if Chen Jie could suppress her with saber technique, he absolutely could not catch up to her.

"With such speed of hers, she was actually killed; looks like Great Inner Court Grandmaster Level Experts, their strength is truly too terrifying."

Chen Jie felt 'Hong Mei's' speed, his heart once again sighing with emotion.

Suddenly,

He thought of something, a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Hmph! I want to see how you run?"

He retreated to twenty meters outside 'Hong Mei's' Alert Zone.

Next,

In the small courtyard east of the Tan Leg Gate, he found a withered grape vine.

Immediately after,

He pulled out the grape vine's tendrils, made a simple lasso.

On the other end of the vine, tied a few bricks.

Not to mention, the grape vine in the dream looked withered, but the tendrils' strength was not bad.

Chen Jie tried using his hands to tear it, yet it was incomparably tough.

All preparations complete.

He placed the vine-made lasso in front of himself at a distance of less than three meters.

Next,

Began triggering 'Hong Mei's' Alert Zone, luring her over.

Whoosh!

A figure instantly drew near.

Whoosh...

Immediately after, saw 'Hong Mei's' 'Hundred Shattering Legs' erupt, speed fast enough to make one gasp in amazement.

Her leg shadows were like dancing gracefully in the air, accompanied by fierce wind, sweeping the surroundings.

Legs striking without shadow, Divine Step Hundred Cracks!

Chen Jie practically cheered in admiration for her leg technique, amazed.

Swish!

Right at this moment, one of 'Hong Mei's' feet stepped into the vine-made simple lasso.

Thud!

'Hong Mei's' foot was bound, unable to maintain balance, thudding as she fell to the ground.

After all she is only a 'Corpse Stiff', possessing only the most basic Combat Awareness.

Once her foot was bound by the vine, she quickly fell.

"Go die...!"

This was the moment Chen Jie had been waiting for.

He condensed all the strength of his body into the "wooden table leg" in his hand.

Qi Family Saber Technique Sixth Form — Splitting Downward Form!

Blade Momentum erupted!

This saber strike was no longer an ordinary Qi Family Saber Technique, but a Splitting Downward Form fused with Xingyi Splitting Fist.

"Hong Mei" sensed the Crisis, wanting to dodge!

However,

At this time her Foot Bu was bound by grape vines, her speed unable to be brought out at once.

The other end of the vines was tied to several Bricks, limiting her movement speed; she could no longer dodge Chen Jie's this Splitting Downward Form saber technique.

Bang...!

Just like smashing wood to pieces.

The wooden table leg Mou De chopped onto "Hong Mei's" head, smashing her head until it split open.

Chen Jie's one saber succeeded, his face without any expression.

But his Inner Heart at this moment unexpectedly gave birth to A Thread of pity and heartache...!
