Chapter 298: Ruthless Cleaving, The Momentum of the Long Saber

Exhale——!

Chen Jie couldn't help but exhale a breath, letting himself relax.

At this time,

He continuously adjusted his own state.

The stronger Tie San's combat power, the harder to deal with.

Then that also proves from the side that the inheritance of the 'Qi Family Saber Technique' erupted by a Blade Path Grandmaster has even more powerful might.

As long as I kill the opponent.

Then,

My strength increase will also surge violently.

"Hmph! A Grandmaster-level powerhouse of the Blade Path, today I want to see, you, the Commander under Qi Wuhen, just how strong your strength can be!!"

Bang!

The Iron Wood Knife in Chen Jie's hand began to erupt with the most ferocious offense.

Saber technique fierce, overbearing, ferocious.

One saber after another, offense following extremely fast.

Under the empowerment of Xingyi Footwork, Chen Jie's saber technique became even more terrifying.

Saber technique combo strikes!

That's right,

This is the Wu Lian Shi style of play, combo attack, blade momentum unpredictable, making it impossible to guard against.

Whirr——!

The surroundings were quickly enveloped by Chen Jie's blade intent, the Gray Thick Fog continuously rolling, making one heart trembling with fear.

Blade edge fierce, overbearing!

At this moment,

Around Tie San, it was as if a storm had whipped up, shocking.

However,

The saber in Tie San's hand was not a mere ornament.

Within the envelopment of Chen Jie's saber net, a figure dodged at high speed.

His speed was fast to the point of being inconceivable, like a ghost appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

Even with Chen Jie's such swift saber technique, and launching such a fast-paced fierce attack, it was actually all blocked by the figure's blade edge.

The key is,

The figure's dodging speed was too fast, even Chen Jie's 【Shen Yi Su Du】 could not judge the opponent's attack direction.

No,

It should be said that Chen Jie's saber technique simply couldn't keep up with Tie San's defensive rhythm.

The saber speed in Tie San's hand was faster than Chen Jie's, more fierce, more ruthless.

Saber speed too fast!

This kind of super-first-rate saber speed has completely crushed Chen Jie, even exceeding the limit of his 【Shen Yi Su Du】.

Even if Chen Jie fused saber technique, leg technique, fist technique, footwork together, held nothing back, and displayed his combat power to peak state.

For a moment,

He simply could not shake Tie San at all, simply could not tear open the opponent's defense.

It seems,

Everything in the surroundings was completely controlled by Tie San.

This is the 【Grandmaster】's super strong control force.

"Tie San merely died and became a Grandmaster-level 'Corpse Stiff', yet can possess such terrifying combat power."

"It seems the gap between Half-Step Grandmaster Realm and Grandmaster is too large."

"He merely retained a portion of combat awareness; compared to his peak state, the gap is very large."

"Yet my Half-Step Grandmaster Realm peak combat power cannot tear open his defense."

"Grandmaster Realm, truly worthy of being a threshold of Chinese Human Martial Dao, the strength gap is too large."

"No wonder in the Dream Space, those Grandmaster-level powerhouses can almost instant kill Half-Step Grandmasters."

"Xingyi Sect Eldest Senior Brother Leng Hanshan, although he also broke through to Grandmaster Realm, his strength compared to Tie San has too large a gap."

"Thus it can be seen, to what extent the two Great Grandmaster-level Experts of Wu Kui City, Xiang Tianxiao and Zhan Wuji, have powerful strength."

"If Tie San hadn't died, with my strength, I simply couldn't even think of approaching within ten meters of him, let alone ambush and kill her."

"Even if I broke through to Grandmaster Realm, in a state where the realm isn't stable, I also absolutely am not Tie San's opponent!"

"This guy's strength is too strong; head-on clash, he only needs one saber to instant kill me!"

As the two sides' fierce battle continued, Chen Jie simply could not approach Tie San at all!

The longer the fight went on, the more Chen Jie felt powerless.

Tie San, although only the most basic conditioned reflex, only retained a portion of combat awareness.

But even so, under Chen Jie's offense, he also appeared invulnerable.

Of course,

Chen Jie now has a lot of experience.

He cannot fight inside Tie San's alert zone.

Otherwise, once he can't win, there won't even be time to run.

He had been locked in fierce battle with Tie San at the edge of his alert zone all along.

Since he couldn't win anyway, he immediately broke away from Tie San's alert zone.

Once safe, he began provoking the other side's alert zone again, constantly drawing hatred, and continued to fight the opponent.

This fighting style seemed very shameless.

Tie San was nothing more than a Corpse Stiff, without any capacity for thought.

So,

Chen Jie adopted this tactic: strike once, retreat immediately, then charge over to strike once more, and retreat again!

Tie San lacked the ability to think, allowing Chen Jie to succeed again and again.

If Tie San had the capacity for thought, Chen Jie believed he would have died many times already.

This was also an important reason why Chen Jie could fight Tie San for so long with the strength of a Half-Step Grandmaster.

"A Grandmaster-level President Expert's strength already ranks among the top in all of Wu Kui City.

But,

I never expected that in the end he would still die at the hands of others."

Thinking of this, Chen Jie felt a deep sigh in his heart.

Grandmaster-level Powerhouses are not invincible!

Once conflict arises, perhaps one opponent alone cannot defeat you, but what if two Grandmaster-level Powerhouses besiege you?

Tie San's strength was very powerful, yet he died on the street outside Xingyi Sect.

Clearly, he also died at the hands of a Grandmaster-level Powerhouse of the Nine Great Sects within Wu Kui City.

Feeling the ferocity of Tie San's saber technique, Chen Jie felt deeply helpless.

He could not tear open the opponent's defense, and had almost no opportunity to kill him.

It seemed,

his plan tonight to assassinate Tie San would fall through again!

Too hard to kill——!

Since the last time he killed Leng Hanshan, and then encountering Tie San, it had already been nearly a month.

During this month or more, Chen Jie had never found a way to break through Tie San.

Could it be that with his current strength, he could not take down this Blade Path Grandmaster?

In the time ahead,

Chen Jie stopped outside the alert zone twenty-five meters away.

He stopped attacking, constantly adjusting his condition.

At the same time,

he raised his head to look at Tie San, wanting to find the opponent's weakness.

This guy's saber technique was so terrifying.

How could he have been killed by someone?

This bastard, exactly how did he die?

The next moment,

Chen Jie quickly discovered an abnormality.

He saw that on Tie San's ribs, there was actually a wound that had directly penetrated the entire rib area.

Since it was on the side, and at the same time not a penetrating wound,

so,

before this, Chen Jie had simply not discovered it at all.

At a glance, the wound on the ribs was not large.

But what Chen Jie could affirm was that this wound was Tie San's fatal wound.

Clearly,

when Tie San was alive, his ribs were struck violently, someone pierced his ribs in one move, the wound ran straight through to his abdomen, killing him in one move.

This was not a saber wound, nor a sword wound.

And,

this wound was different from Leng Hanshan's wound, not an injury caused by the Pear Blossom Spear.

The key was,

judging by the wound on Tie San's body, it was not a fatal wound caused by fist techniques, leg techniques, or the like.

What weapon could strike Tie San's ribs in one move and kill him instantly?

At this time,

Chen Jie finally noticed Tie San's weakness.

This guy's fatal vital point should be this wound on his ribs.

If he could strike him with a killing move at the position of his wound,

then,

he could absolutely take down this Guard Commander President instantly.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie suddenly became excited again.

At this moment,

Chen Jie recalled when, in Chiang Mai, Southeast Asia, he led the Qinglong Society's men and horses for the first time to attack the Valley Base.

On the way to the Valley Base, there were indeed many landmines buried on the ground.

Just now, Chen Jie deliberately arranged some obstacles on the ground.

He tried placing some bricks on Tie San's path to see if they could interfere with Tie San.

Unfortunately, however.

Tie San is a genuine Grandmaster-level Powerhouse.

Although he lacks any autonomous consciousness, when he unleashes his saber technique, he can easily avoid obstacles on the ground.

In other words,

arranging obstacles on the ground fundamentally cannot affect Tie San's display of combat power.

Wanting to restrict Tie San's strength through other methods is fundamentally unrealistic.

However,

at this time, when Chen Jie wanted to raid the Valley Base, he was thinking not of buried landmines, but of the Jinu.

That's right, the crossbows used by Batai and Shen Yan and the others.

Crossbows differ from guns; they have no sound, and their effective range is not as far as a sniper rifle.

But it cannot be denied that the crossbow's power, under drastically suitable conditions, is absolutely very terrifying.

At this moment,

Chen Jie stared at the wound on Tie San's ribs, and something suddenly flashed into his mind.

"This wound on Tie San looks like it should be an arrow wound!"

"Strange, in this area there are only the Tan Leg Sect, Xingyi Sect, and Pear Blossom Spear, these three major sects."

"How could there be an arrow wound? Who used a crossbow to ambush and kill Tie San?"

"Could it be that he was injured elsewhere, and only died after escaping here?"

"Very possible! As the Guard Commander President, how could he possibly have only a 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' squad by his side?"

Hah—!

Chen Jie suddenly remembered something, and a smile appeared on his face.

Next,

he walked toward the courtyard on the west side of the Xingyi Sect.

The grape vines he had gathered at the Tan Leg Sect earlier, he had collected them all in the Xingyi Sect's courtyard.

Although the vines were of no great use to him, fundamentally unable to pose a threat to Tie San.

However,

using the vines to make a simple crossbow was actually a not bad choice.

Next,

Chen Jie found a tree branch nearby. And bent the tree branch.

He tied the vines to both ends of the tree branch.

Very quickly,

he had made a very simple crossbow.

It looked very crude, almost unusable.

The surfaces of the vines and tree branch emitted a faint glow.

These are all manifestations of consciousness; although not easy to use, they absolutely can be used.

Clang—!

He placed the finished simple crossbow in a suitable position.

Simultaneously,

he raised the Iron Wood Knife in his hand.

He did not directly use the simple crossbow, but found that wooden stake used to assassinate Leng Hanshan earlier.

The wooden stake was like a crossbow bolt, its tip extremely sharp.

Not to mention, although Chen Jie had never practiced archery.

But when he held the simple crossbow he made in his hand, he actually felt a sense of full confidence.

Although it looked like,

this simple crossbow had no killing power at all, like a toy.

But no matter what, when Chen Jie held it in his hand, it became the most endurable weapon.

The crossbow is a long-range offensive weapon.

Compared to sabers, swords, staffs, and other weapons, it is convenient by far.

Moreover, the crossbow's power is not insignificant.

As long as one bolt can hit Tie San's rib wound.

Then,

relying on the killing power caused by the crossbow, it absolutely can instantly kill Tie San.

However,

wanting to kill Tie San with the simple crossbow requires good timing.

And what needs to be done now is to create timing.

Everything prepared properly.

Chen Jie once again arrived twenty-five meters outside Tie San's alert zone.

The next moment,

he readied the crossbow and that wooden stake, and drew the giant bow.

Simultaneously,

He stood in position, constantly calculating the distance.

Chen Jie held an Iron Wood Knife in his hand, slightly closing his eyes.

In his mind, he began to simulate the upcoming battle scene.

Additionally,

To ensure absolute safety, Chen Jie even arranged bricks on Iron Three's inevitable path.

Once Iron Three retreated and left, he would automatically avoid these bricks.

Swish——!

Next,

Chen Jie took a deep breath, facing Iron Three and once again launching an explosive offensive, stimulating the other party's alert zone.

Bang!

Iron Three, having triggered the alert zone, immediately moved.

Woo woo——!

Only to see Iron Three exert force with his feet, his body charging toward Chen Jie at extreme speed.

Just like an enraged beast, his speed was fast enough to astonish.

Qi Family Saber Technique First Form — Horizontal Chop Style!

His footwork speed was even faster, body and saber united as one!

The instant his body charged, accompanied by a sharp blade light, he chopped down toward Chen Jie.

Wind whistled, fierce and domineering!

Killing without mercy, the momentum of the long saber!

Chen Jie felt the ferocity of Iron Three's saber technique, a great shock.

Woo woo——!

A piercing sound of splitting air rang out.

However,

Just as Iron Three's feet had just avoided the bricks Chen Jie had placed in advance.

Bang!

The Iron Wood Knife in Chen Jie's hand chopped down toward Iron Three's middle line.

One saber chop down, stiff and domineering.

Swish——!

Iron Three stomped his foot, center of gravity sinking, then a saber went up, blocking toward the Iron Wood Knife in Chen Jie's hand.

Clang clang clang——!

A piercing sound spread through the surroundings.

What made Chen Jie feel incomparably surprised was.

The Iron Wood Knife in his hand, in the fierce clash with Iron Three, simply could not block the other party's quick saber!

Saber speed too fast, compared to Chen Jie's saber technique, it was stronger by a level.

However,

Perhaps it was the prepared striking the unprepared!

The distance of Chen Jie's Iron Wood Knife attack happened to be Iron Three's blind spot while advancing.

Therefore,

Although Iron Three's speed was very fast, his advancing pace was blocked by Chen Jie's saber technique.

After all, he was merely a corpse stiff, without autonomous thought, only retaining partial conditioned reflex consciousness.

When he sensed danger, he naturally stopped to block the Iron Wood Knife in Chen Jie's hand.

Other dangers, when not near him, he simply could not perceive at all.

"Go die!"

Seeing Iron Three stop, Chen Jie couldn't help but shout loudly.

Fought this long, almost caught up and killed by the other party, waited for just this moment

Only to see Chen Jie's body suddenly fall down, the Iron Wood Knife in his hand flying down to chop.

He wasn't using the Iron Wood Knife to attack Iron Three, but chopping toward the simple crossbow's trigger mechanism.

At this time,

Chen Jie's mind was empty and clear, everything around him disappeared.

In his eyes, only the crossbow's trigger mechanism remained.

One saber chop down, swift like thunder, momentum heavy force!

Boom!

Saber speed extremely fast, the key is this saber was chopping toward the crossbow, Iron Three did not perceive any danger.

Therefore,

Chen Jie's this saber technique and offensive saber technique were completely different.

Even at the last moment, the Iron Wood Knife in his hand left his grip.

The purpose was precisely to make the crossbow trigger at the moment Iron Three stopped, able to hit Iron Three.

Hum——!

The crossbow, having received the stimulation, instantly triggered.

Tie San finally sensed the crisis at this moment.

He wanted to dodge this crossbow shot, wanted to retreat swiftly.

But,

all his retreat routes had long been calculated by Chen Jie without omission.

On his evasion route, Chen Jie had long placed bricks, to prevent Tie San from instantly escaping the crossbow's attack.

Due to Tie San having just unleashed a saber technique, his strength was exhausted, exactly at the instant of strength conversion.

The timing was extremely ingenious.

Tie San simply had no time to dodge, let alone retreat.

At this time,

he could only stand still, waiting for the stimulated crossbow bolt wooden stake to whistle toward his rib arrow wound——!
