Chapter 296

Tie San is the Guard Commander President.

Simultaneously,

He is also one of the three Grandmaster-level disciples under Blade Path Grandmaster Qi Wuhen.

A Blade Path Grandmaster is completely different from other Grandmaster-level experts.

Tie San's aura is incomparably fierce, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.

At this time,

Even though Chen Jie is twenty-five meters away, outside Tie San's alert zone.

He can still feel the terrifying pressure.

This is the battle intent emanating from a Grandmaster-level powerhouse.

This Guard Commander President's combat power is unfathomable.

During his lifetime, even among all the Grandmaster-level powerhouses in the entire Imperial Court, he absolutely counted as an outstanding existence.

Although Tie San at this time has no vitality on his body, he is merely a 'Corpse Stiff'!

However,

The sharp-edged Blade Intent emanating from his body represents inviolability.

The dominance of a Blade Path Grandmaster is displayed on him to the fullest.

"Damn it, the aura of a Blade Path Grandmaster is too strong!"

"This guy's aura far surpasses Leng Hanshan!"

"Although they are both Grandmaster-level experts, among Grandmasters, there are still distinctions of strength and weakness!"

"How can I kill this Guard Commander President?"

"The difficulty of killing a Blade Path Grandmaster's 'Corpse Stiff' is not small!"

Exhale——!

Chen Jie raised his head to look at Tie San in the distance, unable to help but take a deep breath.

At this moment,

His inner heart became excited, continuously adjusting his state.

As a powerhouse of the 【Half-Step Grandmaster】 realm, Chen Jie's mindset had long become incomparably firm.

Once he made up his mind, he naturally would not change it easily.

At this time, his body emanated powerful confidence.

The Eldest Senior Brother of the 'Xingyi Sect', Leng Hanshan, because the gunshot wound at his throat was a fatal weakness, was seized by Chen Jie who took the opportunity and finished him off in one move.

That is to say,

In the Dream Space, any Corpse Stiff absolutely has a weakness.

If they had no weaknesses, they would not have died so easily.

Not to mention Grandmaster Realm experts, even Wu Kui City's Great Grandmaster Xiang Tianxiao, or the Imperial Palace's Great Grandmaster Zhan Wuji.

Although they are all Great Grandmaster Realm experts, almost sweeping away all enemies.

However,

Since they all died in Wu Kui City, they must have weaknesses.

To kill them, one needs to find their weaknesses.

Leng Hanshan's weakness was the wound at his throat, while Hong Mei of the Divine Step Hundred Cracks, her weakness is her limit speed.

Divine Step Hundred Cracks!

Only by limiting Hong Mei's speed, or breaking through Leng Hanshan's throat defense.

Then, one can kill them, obtaining their memories.

Chen Jie has already succeeded many times; dealing with Corpse Stiffs, he now has much experience.

The only pity is that the Dream Space is merely a manifestation of consciousness, unable to carry any items from reality.

Otherwise, with Chen Jie's current identity as the Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, bringing a few Pineapple Bombs in would quickly solve all problems.

Any Grandmaster-level powerhouse absolutely cannot block the assault of a Pineapple Bomb.

Even without using bombs, even bringing a few Alloy Battle Blades in would cause combat power to skyrocket.

Of course,

These are merely idle thoughts.

Not to mention carrying weapons, even killing those Corpse Stiffs, wanting to obtain their weapons is very difficult.

In the entire Dream Space, everything is merely a manifestation of the dream.

As long as the Corpse Stiff dies, their weapons will also disappear.

Unless they are other items, like bricks, tree stumps, tables——etc.

Chen Jie sat outside Tie San's twenty-five meter realm zone.

He did not rush to attack, but stared at Tie San, his mind constantly thinking.

How can he kill this Guard Commander President?

Next,

In Chen Jie's mind, he began thinking of the memories of Xingyi Sect Eldest Senior Brother Leng Hanshan.

Simultaneously, he also began recalling Ning Wuque's memories.

Ning Wuque and Tie San, the two are fellow disciples, both disciples of Qi Wuhen.

The best way to kill Tie San is to understand his characteristics.

Exhale——!

Chen Jie suddenly raised his head and looked toward the street outside the Xingyi Sect perimeter.

Only to see, in the thick fog several dozen meters away, a squad of 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs' appear.

This squad of 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs' looked to have an aura that was not weak.

The captain leading them was tall in stature, giving off a very strong sense of oppression.

Obviously,

this squad of 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs' that appeared were elites among the Imperial Guard Army.

Seeing them surrounding a place not far from Tie San, barring accident, they should be Tie San's guard squad.

The aura emitted by this squad of 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs' gave Chen Jie an indescribable feeling.

Very powerful!

That's right, this squad of 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs' looked to have very strong combat power.

"These 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs' should be Tie San's former subordinates."

"I want to assassinate Tie San, I must first kill off this squad of 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs'."

"The captain leading them is not weak in strength, looking like he's not far from 【Half-Step Grandmaster】."

Swish—!

Chen Jie walked a few steps onto the street, pulling open the distance between him and Tie San, to avoid stimulating the other party's Alert Zone.

Next,

he raised his head and looked at the distant 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' squad.

"Strange, why are they separated from Tie San by such a far distance?"

"That is to say, even if I battle with Tie San, it won't stimulate their Alert Zone."

Chen Jie secretly observed the distance.

This squad of 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs' was over fifty meters from Tie San.

So,

even if they were once Tie San's subordinates, after death, they probably have no connection anymore.

"Forget it! For now, ignore these Soldier Corpse Stiffs, I'll assassinate Tie San first, see if there's a chance to sneak attack and kill him!"

Whoosh—!

Having made up his mind, Chen Jie didn't hesitate in the slightest, instantly erupting in an explosive offensive.

He didn't want to delay time.

A 【Half-Step Grandmaster】's willpower is incomparably firm.

Once a decision is made, naturally there is no reason to retreat.

Since Tie San is the Imperial Guard Army's chief leader, proficient in Qi Family Saber Technique.

Then,

to assassinate him, naturally one cannot use pure Qi Family Saber Technique to deal with him, but should mainly use Xingyi Twelve Forms and Twelve Roads Tan Leg.

Of course,

saber technique definitely must be used, saber against saber, only then is there a chance to tear open Tie San's defense.

Woo woo—!

A piercing sound spread throughout the surroundings.

The next moment,

only to see Chen Jie's body like a bolt of Lightning, vanishing in a flash, pouncing toward Tie San.

Effulgent wind whistled, the air seemed to be shaken apart, shocking to the core.

At this time,

the surrounding Gray Thick Fog seemed to be enveloped by Chen Jie's killing intent, fusing into one.

A powerful killing intent whistled toward Tie San.

Blade Momentum!

That's right, Blade Momentum forms Intent!

This is a powerful Blade Intent, simultaneously Chen Jie's feet executed Xingyi Damage Chong Step and Snake Step, fusing thoroughly, erupting in an instant.

Here is completely different from on the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring.

In the Dream Space, any martial arts fused together and erupted, without the slightest hindrance.

He enjoyed this feeling of power fusion, sprinting at extreme speed, speed raised to the limit, forgetting everything.

In a split second.

His body like a bolt of Lightning, instantly neared Tie San.

Of course,

his lightning sprint was completely different from ordinary desperate fighting.

No, this isn't desperate fighting, it's a sneak attack!

Chen Jie from the side, just happening to form an angle, erupted the most ferocious offensive toward Tie San.

Simultaneously,

while attacking, he defended with full strength, his whole body, defense watertight.

Originally Chen Jie wanted to sneak attack from behind Tie San.

But,

behind Tie San happened to be the street's buildings, there was simply no place to strike.

Moreover,

As long as there are obstacles, if you want to launch a sneak attack, the difficulty becomes very great.

With Tie San's Grandmaster Level sensory ability, launching a sneak attack from behind him holds no advantage whatsoever.

Any attack, as long as it reveals hostility, will have no room to be of use.

Tie San is a true Blade Path Grandmaster; both his Reaction Speed and saber technique have already reached an unfathomable realm.

As long as Chen Jie enters within his twenty-five-meter Alert Zone.

Then,

He can sense Chen Jie's hostility in the shortest possible time.

Simultaneously,

He can make the fastest counterattack, a horizontal saber slash, with the speed of a thunderbolt that leaves no time to cover one's ears.

So,

For Chen Jie to sneak attack from behind Tie San, the difficulty is too great, the chance of success too low.

Outside Tie San's Alert Zone, Chen Jie pondered for a long time.

Finally,

He decided to simply go straight in, directly giving up all distracting thoughts, and launch a sneak attack from the side.

No choice, he also wanted to clash head-on with Tie San.

But before this, he had already fought many times.

Every time he fled in a sorry state, even being killed by Tie San several times.

He no longer dared to engage in fierce battle with Tie San head-on.

This Imperial Guard Commander, his strength is too strong.

Swish!

Qi Family Saber Technique Fourth Form — Breaking Knife Style!

Xingyi Snake Form Step!

Slant strikes straight, one saber slanting chop!

Xingyi Footwork and Qi Family Saber Technique fused together in execution, power surging violently.

This strike of Qi Family Saber Technique, speed fast to the point of inconceivability.

Especially assisted by the Snake Form Step, the attack angle, tricky and bizarre, untraceable.

One saber slanting chop, irresistible force!

Whoosh—!

Although Chen Jie held in his hand a Grapevine Iron Wood.

But with his current execution of Qi Family Saber Technique, condensing into a fierce and overbearing Blade Intent, bloodthirsty and ruthless, ruthless beyond compare.

One saber slanting chop!

This is a killing move specifically for countering saber techniques.

A flash of blade light sweeps across, the surrounding Gray Thick Fog sweeping down, as if all merged into this one saber technique.

At this moment,

Chen Jie's speed reached the limit, blade momentum ferocious, overbearing, ruthless and merciless.

Looking from afar.

Only saw behind Chen Jie, as if condensed into a giant Changdao.

One saber slanting downward, target is Tie San's saber-holding arm.

This is the condensation of Blade Intent!

In the Dream Space, when fully erupting with saber technique, Blade Intent will manifest, fusing together with the surrounding thick fog.

As if the entire Dream Space, all enveloped by Chen Jie this one saber.

Blade Intent infinite, indestructible!

Boom—!

At this time,

The condensed Blade Intent, after manifesting with the Gray Thick Fog, actually fused through with the Iron Wood in his hand.

Blade Intent fuses, Unique Blade!

Right at this moment, Chen Jie entered Combat State.

This is a Half-Step Grandmaster realm martial artist, who can in battle make their Essence, Qi, and Spirit three-in-one, entering a crazed Combat State.

Empty Spirit State!

Right, at this time Chen Jie entered Empty Spirit State, his whole person's fighting spirit reaching the peak.

Whole body's power brewing in the muscles.

In Empty Spirit State, his Reaction Speed improved once again, able to precisely judge Tie San's state changes.

The saber technique in Chen Jie's hand became faster and faster.

Simultaneously,

His feet Xingyi Snake Form Step and Locust Worm Step, switching freely, fast as Lightning, untraceable.

Clang—!

One saber slanting chop kill, immediately followed by one leg striking down.

Iron Wood substituting for saber, blocking and parrying Tie San's saber, then Chen Jie using Intercept Leg to heavily strike, attacking the opponent's lower plate knee area.

He fused saber technique, leg technique, and footwork through and through.

At this time,

Chen Jie was like a ferocious beast, tearing and biting at his prey, utterly fearless.

However,

Tie San's reaction speed was too fast.

No, this wasn't some reaction speed, but rather the conditioned reflex of a 【Grandmaster】.

The instant Chen Jie's Heavy Leg kicked out.

Tie San's feet retreated three steps, then he slashed horizontally with his saber, targeting Chen Jie's leg.

Clang——!

Qi Family Saber Technique Fourth Form - Breaking Knife Style!

Tie San likewise unleashed a 'Breaking Knife Style', precisely blocking Chen Jie's Iron Wood Generation Saber attack.

Leverage Counter-Shock!

Thud thud thud——!

With a bursting sound, it spread all around.

Chen Jie's body suffered a violent impact, flew backward, and fell heavily to the ground.

This Leverage Counter-Shock, the impact force was too terrifying!

Chen Jie originally wanted to clash head-on with the opponent's saber, but never expected that within Tie San's Blade Momentum, there was contained an extremely terrifying Rebound Force.

The two clashed sabers head-on, Chen Jie discovered he simply was not a match at all.

However,

He, as an Expert of the 【Half-Step Grandmaster】 realm, was not without the power to fight back.

No matter how strong Tie San's strength, he was ultimately just a Corpse Stiff!

He was dead!

At this time the Combat Power Tie San displayed was purely a kind of combat instinct.

Compared to when he was alive, his Combat Power was simply not on the same level.

So,

After Chen Jie's body flew backward, he lay prone on the ground, his feet springing.

Swish——!

Leveraging a shock, Chen Jie's body actually reversed direction by borrowing force.

Xingyi Footwork - Snake Step!

Qi Family Saber Technique Seventh Form - Return Horse Blade!

Three Consecutive Blade Strikes!

This Return Horse Blade was a combination killing move Chen Jie formed based on the Qi Family Saber Technique, Tan Leg Secret Transmission, and Xingyi Footwork.

That's right,

This wasn't purely the Qi Family Saber Technique, but a Combination Blade Technique.

The ground stirred up a fierce wind, dust flew, emitting a powerful Shockwave.

Like an explosion, the attacking power spread toward the surroundings.

Crash——!

Fierce wind whistled down, instantly locking onto Tie San.

Blade Intent was fierce and overbearing, unstoppable!

At this moment,

Chen Jie's whole body emitted an Invincible Momentum, causing heart-trembling fear.

Clang——!

With a piercing sound ringing out, Chen Jie flew backward once again.

Too strong!

At this time one could see Tie San very casually erupting with a saber technique, its power was terrifying to what degree.

Grandmaster Blade Intent, firm as a rock!

Hiss——!

Chen Jie lay prone on the ground, couldn't help but gasp.

How the hell to fight this?

Boom——!

With a Shockwave, it spread toward the surroundings.

That squad of 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' just happened to be within twenty meters of Chen Jie.

At this moment,

The Soldier Corpse Stiff's Alert Zone triggered.

Immediately after,

Woo woo——!

A whole squad of 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' from the surroundings charged toward Chen Jie.

That leading 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' captain raised his head, gazing at Chen Jie.

Although his eyes were empty, without focus, he was merely a Corpse Stiff.

But,

He seemed to have discovered prey, locking onto Chen Jie.

Swish——!

Next, the Soldier Corpse Stiff Squad Leader thrust his long spear at Chen Jie.

Boom—!

A suffocating killing intent swept through the surroundings.

The Gray Thick Fog churned violently!

Led by that 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' captain, the entire squad of Corpse Stiffs charged at Chen Jie to slaughter him.

This feeling was too terrifying!

Clang—!

Chen Jie stomped his foot, then swept his saber horizontally!

He turned to break free of Tie San's Alert Zone and went to meet the 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' squad.

It seemed that unless he took down this squad of 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs', he could forget about peacefully assassinating Tie San!

As long as he fought Tie San fiercely, once he triggered these 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs' Alert Zone.

Then,

they would erupt with the most terrifying attack.

At this moment,

Chen Jie had not the slightest hesitation, erupting with full power.

Xingyi Damage Chong Step!

First Move of Qi Family Saber Technique—Horizontal Chop Style!

At this time, Chen Jie's killing intent throughout his body reached its peak—!
