Chapter 24

Inside Wu Kui City, on the street.

Chen Jie raised his head to look at the thick fog that had already dissipated around him.

Huff—!

He couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The scenery around him was hard to describe in just a few words.

Wooden pavilions of various structures, streets paved with marble.

Everything here was completely different from modern society.

Many wooden carts of street vendors were scattered on the street, along with many wooden items Chen Jie had never seen before.

Everything was like old antiques in a museum.

Although there was no vitality around, and no living people were seen.

"No wonder the 'Xingyi Cannon Fist' I obtained from 'Lu Danian's' memories could raise my Limit Heavy Fist explosive power to this level!"

Starting from the eighteenth century, technology developed rapidly, and the first Industrial Revolution was born...

The Wu Xue Li Fa passed down for thousands of years of China civilization disappeared in the long river of history.

On the battlefield, what was compared was not individual martial strength, but the clash of technology and the contest of weapons.

But,

However,

Three consecutive 'Industrial Revolutions' caused the development of martial arts to decline.

To the point where it developed to now.

Next,

He saw on the street ahead that a 'Corpse Stiff' was actually riding a warhorse.

Chen Jie kept dodging the Corpse Stiffs around him on the street.

Although the warhorse had no vitality, it emitted a terrifying aura.

The force generation inheritance of all major martial arts schools completely declined.

"But the woodworking construction level here far exceeds modern civilization!"

"Could it be another 'Parallel Spacetime' world? There is no modern technological civilization here, but martial arts development is extremely powerful."

You should know,

Originally, martial arts in the Cold Weapon Era of the original world were also very powerful.

"There are no traces of technological development here; I don't know what dynasty this is from?"

"According to the memories of 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff', Xingyi Fist, Tai Chi, Baji Fist... it seems all martial arts schools' force generation inheritance has not only not been severed, but is extremely powerful."

The former glory of China martial arts has already become a thing of the past.

Next,

Hot weapons rose, and individual martial strength was strongly suppressed.

No matter how high the martial arts, one cannot withstand gunpowder and bullets.

Chen Jie could imagine the prosperous side of 'Wu Kui City' in the past.

The kung fu of all major martial arts schools left only various moves and routines, without the inheritance of force generation, like rootless duckweed, fancy fists and embroidered legs.

The 1980s of the last century.

The China Martial Arts Association dismantled the martial arts routines of various schools domestically and formed the 'Sanda' kung fu that swept the nation!

Unfortunately,

Sanda kung fu only had its form, not its power!

Sanda kung fu lacking the 'Force Generation Essence' had peak combat power far behind, and its record in the Global Martial Arts World was self-evident.

"If I can kill all the Corpse Stiffs in 'Wu Kui City' and absorb their memories."

"Then can't I become a 'Grandmaster of National Arts' of a generation? Recreate the glory of China National Arts...?!"

Damn...

Thinking of this, Chen Jie's heart became excited, full of expectation.

In modern society, the development of martial arts had turned to the Ring.

Additionally,

When super-deterrent weapons like 'Nuclear Weapons' appeared, super-large hot weapon wars were already very difficult to occur.

Individual martial strength was once again valued.

"Forget so much for now, I can enter the Dream and continuously obtain martial arts force generation inheritance!"

"Such a huge opportunity, I cannot easily miss it."

Huff—!

Chen Jie took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked toward the street of 'Wu Kui City'.

At this moment,

Chen Jie looked at this ancient city before him, and his inner heart underwent earth-shaking changes.

The 'Corpse Stiffs' in Wu Kui City were numerous, and their strength was generally very strong.

It was almost very difficult to find weak 'Corpse Stiffs'.

Chen Jie continued walking forward and had to dodge these Corpse Stiffs even more carefully.

His speed became slower and slower, and even every few steps, he had to stop and wait for the wandering 'Corpse Stiffs' to leave.

I don't know how long passed.

Finally,

Chen Jie saw a large burnt-out house in the distance.

The courtyard of the Xingyi Sect.

The courtyard was very large, with extremely open surroundings.

Chen Jie carefully climbed over the wall of the burnt-out courtyard and entered.

This was a small room near the westernmost side of the Xingyi Sect courtyard, and there were no other Corpse Stiffs inside.

According to Lu Danian's memory, this was his residence.

The room was very small, with a wooden table placed in the middle.

One can imagine that Lu Danian was resting inside the room at the time, and then the Official Soldiers surrounded and attacked the entire Xingyi Sect!

For a moment,

Lu Danian had no time to pack his things, and taking advantage of the raging fire, he hurriedly fled.

Unfortunately,

after leaving the Xingyi Sect and running out of Wu Kui City, he actually encountered the Eldest Senior Brother of the Xingyi Sect who had already defected to the Imperial Court.

In the end, Lu Danian ultimately could not escape the fate of being killed!

Hah!

Standing inside the room, Chen Jie suddenly felt his inner heart was extremely oppressed.

He searched inside the room for a moment, wanting to see if he could find anything else of value.

Due to absorbing only part of Lu Danian's memory, not all of it.

Chen Jie had to search carefully.

Unfortunately, the room was empty, with almost nothing else of value.

Next,

Chen Jie came out of the room and walked into the room next door.

Chen Jie guessed that this row of small rooms on the western side was where the Sixth Generation Disciples of the Xingyi Sect stayed.

After walking around, Chen Jie entered more than ten small rooms in succession, but did not see anyone else.

It should be that when the Xingyi Sect was wiped out, all the disciples gathered at the Door Plaza to fight to the death with the Official Soldiers of the Government Office.

Only the last small room remained.

Chen Jie gently pushed open the door.

Suddenly,

An extremely dangerous aura enveloped him, giving him a great shock.

Only to see a tall and mighty Corpse Stiff standing inside the last room.

However,

Although his body type was tall, he was a Hunchback Corpse Stiff.

At the same time,

His left arm was broken, and there was a large hole in his chest, as if his heart had been dug out.

His stubbly beard showed that before he died, his inner heart was filled with unwillingness.

Chen Jie stepped into the room with one foot, instantly triggering the Corpse Stiff's Alert Zone.

The Corpse Stiff, who had been standing quietly inside the room, suddenly went mad.

He turned his head to look at Chen Jie, and a shocking aura emanated from his body.

Without any pause, the Corpse Stiff let out a fierce roar and pounced at Chen Jie.

The Corpse Stiffs in the Dream are just like this; once their Alert Zone is triggered,

then,

they will erupt with the most terrifying attack.

Swish!

Chen Jie stomped his foot, twisted his waist, and his body crossed sideways two steps.

Immediately after,

His gaze turned cold, he took a deep breath, and threw an Uppercut at the Corpse Stiff's head.

Momentum Heavy Force, the punch came out swift as thunder!

Xingyi — Cannon Fist!

Boom!

A sound like an explosion spread through the surroundings.

At this moment,

It seemed a shockwave rose inside the entire room, with dust flying everywhere.

Fist met fist, clashing hard together inside the room.

Thud thud thud...

After both sides' Heavy Punches clashed hard, each retreated several steps;

Among them, the Corpse Stiff retreated three steps, while Chen Jie retreated five steps!

Hiss!

Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath, shaking his fist.

At this time, his inner heart was filled with dread, and he became extremely careful and cautious.

What terrifying Explosive Power of a Heavy Punch!

Although the aura emanating from this Hunchback Corpse Stiff's whole body was very terrifying.

But,

The Oppression it gave Chen Jie was far less than that of those on the Street outside.

Perhaps all this was because he had suffered severe injuries in life.

This was also why, after Chen Jie Triggered Hunchback Corpse Stiff's Alert Zone, he did not rush to Flee, but without Hesitation Erupted Xingyi Cannon Fist.

After just one Ying Peng, Chen Jie instantly fell into a disadvantage.
