Chapter 64: Half-Step Grandmaster!

Sixth Generation True Transmission Disciple of Xingyi Sect.

Third Senior Brother — Kuang Tianyou!

According to the memory of 'Bi Liancheng', who ranks ninth among the Sixth Generation True Transmission Disciples of Xingyi Sect.

This 'Kuang Tianyou' before him is no ordinary man!

His strength has long reached an unfathomable level, not inferior to the Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother!

Hah!

Chen Jie took a deep breath, sizing up this Third Senior Brother 'Kuang Tianyou'!

He was about the same height as Chen Jie, around 1.85 meters, with a robust build, giving the impression of an Iron Tower.

His appearance was not injured like others; he had a square face and a dignified look.

From him, one could feel an extremely cold sensation.

He wore a set of ancient black tight-fitting practice clothes, holding no weapon in his hand.

This Third Senior Brother of the Sixth Generation True Transmission Disciple of Xingyi Sect, if not for his empty eyes and the lack of any vitality on his body.

Truthfully,

From a distance at a glance, he was almost the same as an ordinary living person, making it impossible to distinguish.

Hah!

Chen Jie took a deep breath, his fighting spirit throughout his body reaching its peak.

On 'Kuang Tianyou's chest at the heart vital point, a blade wound over twenty centimeters long, deep enough to see the slashed heart.

As long as Chen Jie does not enter the courtyard, he will not launch an attack.

This feeling is hard to describe with simple words.

But next,

When Chen Jie saw the blade wound on this Third Senior Brother's chest, he couldn't help but gasp.

He raised his head and quietly looked at Chen Jie, not moving under his feet!

It seemed...

He is a 'Corpse Stiff'!

But,

"Is this the martial arts realm of 'Half-Step Grandmaster'?"

The power of this blade, how great it is.

Even though Chen Jie is so far away, he can still see the blade wound on 'Kuang Tianyou's chest.

Yet it differs slightly from the Corpse Stiffs Chen Jie encountered before.

The blood vessels of the heart and the lungs were slashed by a blade.

"Hiss... The aura is too strong!"

It's really hard to imagine, when the Government Office exterminated 'Wu Kui City' and besieged 'Xingyi Sect' in that battle, how terrifying the strength of the Great Inner Court experts was.

"Kill!"

The might of one blade, unstoppable, actually instantly killed a 'Half-Step Grandmaster'!

One can imagine,

"He has already condensed Grandmaster Will, undergone Nirvana, and is completely not on the same level as ordinary martial artists!"

At this moment,

This Third Senior Brother of the Sixth Generation True Transmission Disciple of Xingyi Sect opposite seemed to have discovered Chen Jie.

"According to Bi Liancheng's memory, Third Senior Brother Kuang Tianyou's strength has already reached the realm of 'Half-Step Grandmaster'!"

One blade takes life!

Roaring loudly, Chen Jie launched a strong attack ambush.

Xingyi - Locust Step!

Qi Family Saber Technique First Move - Horizontal Chop Style!

The rust-streaked long saber danced as if blown by the wind.

Long Knife No Trace, chopping down!

Hum!

Chen Jie's speed under his feet reached its peak, instantly closing in on 'Kuang Tianyou'!

Locust Step combined with Qi Family Saber Technique, like adding wings to a tiger.

At this moment,

Chen Jie was like a pouncing leopard, fleeting in an instant.

In the blink of an eye,

The rusty long saber in his hand approached 'Kuang Tianyou's chest vital point.

But,

'Kuang Tianyou' seemed not to have triggered the Alert Zone, standing still, motionless, calmly 'gazing' at Chen Jie.

Woo woo!

The piercing sound spread all around, Chen Jie's 'Horizontal Chop Style' fiercely and dominantly chopping down.

Under the enhancement of Locust Step, Chen Jie's whole body strength condensed into one point, holding nothing back.

This blade was like a meteor falling, unstoppable!

The air seemed to be split open by this blade, emitting a piercing roar.

Fierce, extreme speed, ruthless, unstoppable!

Clang—!

A piercing sound rang out.

The rusty long saber snapped in response!

Kuang Tianyou still stood there, his feet not moving an inch.

However, just as Chen Jie's rusty long saber neared his chest.

His palm lightly chopped forward, striking the side of the long saber with extreme precision.

The rust-mottled long saber was already on the verge of breaking; how could it withstand a palm chop at this moment?

Palm Saber!

Using the palm in place of a saber, the joined palm lightly swept across, then chopped down!

The movement was very casual, yet unbelievably fast.

Using stillness to control motion, striking last but arriving first!

Chen Jie's rusty long saber 'Horizontal Splitting Form' was in front, Kuang Tianyou's palm saber swung out after.

But,

It was just such a very casual palm saber, yet it effortlessly neutralized Chen Jie's 'Horizontal Splitting Form' that was sure to hit!

Fast, accurate, ruthless!

With this one palm saber, Kuang Tianyou brought these three words to full expression.

"No way!? Even this can be blocked...?"

After the rusty long saber in Chen Jie's hand snapped with a clang, only half a hilt remained in his hand.

Too fast...!

Of Kuang Tianyou's this palm saber, Chen Jie didn't even see the shadow of the opponent's move.

Thud thud thud...!

Next moment,

Chen Jie retreated at extreme speed, his footing staggering, almost falling to the ground.

The broken rusty long saber transmitted a powerful vibration force, nearly shattering the tiger's mouth of his palm; the hilt he gripped almost couldn't be held tight.

No time to think further, Chen Jie retreated outward at extreme speed, pulling away distance.

After one palm saber, Kuang Tianyou did not pursue, instead quietly 'watching' Chen Jie leave.

Hiss...!

Chen Jie's face completely changed.

"My 'Horizontal Splitting Form' just now, I erupted with full power, without any reservation!"

"Moreover, I absorbed the memory of the just-killed 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff', the power of this 'Qi Family Saber Technique' is faster and more ruthless than before."

"Such a ferocious saber, yet there wasn't even a chance to get close to him!"

"One palm chopped through my long saber, the rebound force nearly injured me!"

"Formidable... worthy of a 'Half-Step Grandmaster' realm True Disciple!"

You must know,

Kuang Tianyou is merely a Corpse Stiff.

He only retains combat instinctive reactions, no consciousness.

If it were a living 'Half-Step Grandmaster', to what level would the strength reach?

"Could it be he can only stay inside the small courtyard, unable to leave a one-zhang range from the small courtyard entrance?"

Chen Jie raised his head looking at the distant Kuang Tianyou standing motionless, secretly guessing in his heart.

According to past experience, if the 'Corpse Stiff's' alert zone is triggered.

Then,

Once the 'Corpse Stiff' erupts in offense, it will pursue and kill for a segment of distance, until distance is pulled apart, then the Corpse Stiff will return to its original position.

And now,

Kuang Tianyou simply did not pursue and kill Chen Jie, always standing within the one-zhang range of the small courtyard entrance.

Upon confirming 'Kuang Tianyou' would not pursue, Chen Jie no longer had concerns, launching full-power offense.

Locust Step, Snake Step, Xingyi Collapsing Fist, Cannon Fist!

Straight Punch, Swing Punch, Hook Punch, Heel Kick, Side Kick...!

Except for having no opportunity to erupt the 'Collapsing Cannon Combined Strike' secret killing move, Chen Jie fully erupted his strength.

This moment,

In his eyes, Kuang Tianyou was a human-shaped punching bag!

Pity that, no matter how fast Chen Jie's attack rhythm, how fierce his explosive power.

Before him, this Xingyi Sect sixth generation True Disciple ranked third, 'Kuang Tianyou', standing motionless, very easily resolved all of Chen Jie's offenses.

Using stillness to control motion, striking last but arriving first!

Kuang Tianyou's defense was watertight, like a copper wall and iron wall!

Chen Jie's strong offense simply could not break through the opponent's defense.

No, it should be said Chen Jie's every offense had no room to maneuver before him!

Every one of Kuang Tianyou's defensive moves could always extremely precisely block Chen Jie's attack lines.

It was as if...

Foreknowledge!

Only instinctive reaction speed far exceeding Chen Jie's attack speed could create this situation!

Hiss...!

Chen Jie retreated a few steps, and after putting some distance between them, he couldn't help but gasp.
