Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 533 Basong: Chen Jiu Si, you also have an immortal body!
"Basong, I wonder if I'm worthy to be your opponent!"

These words shocked everyone present. After all, Basong's terrifying power had just been fully demonstrated. With a single punch, he destroyed a warship, leaving the Zhenla Tiger Libona, who had undergone the transformation of the God of Melting, in a terrible state.

It could even be described as a one-sided beating, utterly pathetic.

This is understandable. Libona wasn't considered one of the stronger ones in the Fusion God Realm; he was only considered a qualified one in the first stage of the Fusion God Realm. Such a person wouldn't have any trump card or super high-level martial arts that could be unleashed instantly.

For example, Chen Jie used the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, and Zhu Chongba used the Xuanyuan Technique. These were powerful techniques, so when he fought against the Siamese National Preceptor Basong, who was clearly superior in level, he seemed powerless.

Barely by borrowing the power of the military formation, he reached a level where he could fight Basong one-on-one. However, Basong was no ordinary person. He actually found the drawback of this improvement in his combat power, which was that he needed the military formation to maintain it.

After Basong seized the weakness, he began to attack the warships. Naval warfare is different from land warfare. In land warfare, the commander can control the army more flexibly according to the changes in the formation. Even if the enemy general attacks the formation, the commander can change the formation and gather other forces within the formation to resist the attack.

The goal was to prevent the enemy general from suppressing him by weakening his army formation.

However, this won't work in naval warfare. Naval warfare requires a necessary vessel, namely warships. Without warships, soldiers cannot establish a foothold, and there's no way to talk about changing formations.

In addition, the warships are too large and too cumbersome to change, making it virtually impossible to adapt to changing conditions in battle.

In other words, in a land battle, if Basong attacks the battle formation behind him, as long as Zhang Dingbian changes his formation, Basong simply cannot break through it. Moreover, the battle formation at sea is far too difficult to break.

In land battles, Zhang Dingbian could directly use the "One-Character Long Snake" technique to transform into "Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl," which could then be converted into the "Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams," representing the inner and outer universe.

There are a million ways to resist Basong, and Zhang Dingbian can do it, just like Chen Jie's father-in-law, the Prince of Ruyang. The Prince of Ruyang is also a great military strategist. Although he only has the strength of the first stage of the Fusion God realm, he is able to rank tenth on the Heavenly Ranking.

Even the Living Buddha's eldest disciple, who had reached the second stage of the Melting God realm, dared not say that he could enter the Heavenly Ranking.

However, Prince Ruyang entered. Why? Because of Prince Ruyang's formidable military talent. As long as the White Deer Army is in his hands, even though he is only at the first level of the Fusion God Realm, he may not be unable to fight against experts at the second or even third level of the Fusion God Realm!
This is the strength of the Prince of Ruyang; this is the power of his army.

Zhang Dingbian possessed military talent no less than that of the Prince of Ruyang, so if it were on land, Zhang Dingbian might not have had such a troublesome time dealing with Basong.

However, at sea, Zhang Dingbian could only rely on his land warfare experience to hastily put together such a large formation. But the helplessness of naval warfare was also evident, namely, it was too difficult for warships to change formations.

This allowed Basong to exploit a loophole, leading to the complete defeat of the Nanyang Army.

However, just as everyone in the Nanyang Allied Forces was in despair and the Siamese soldiers were preparing to celebrate their victory.

This abrupt voice interrupted everyone's thoughts. For a moment, it was as if the scene had frozen, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

Then they saw a small boat slowly rowing towards them on the sea. A man was standing at the bow of the boat, holding a long bamboo pole. He gently moved the bamboo pole, and the whole boat started to move.

It seems to perfectly echo a line from a poem: "Boats sail on emerald waves, people wander in a painting!"

At this moment, everyone was captivated by the picturesque scene before them, their eyes fixed on the man sailing on the sea.

What confidence and nonchalance that was!

At this moment, Chen Jie rowed his small boat. Compared to the large warships in front of him, the small boat looked pitifully small, like a fisherman's sampan, or even smaller than a fisherman's sampan, and couldn't even compare to the lifeboats carried by these warships.

But at this moment, no one dared to underestimate this small boat. Everyone's attention was drawn to the boat and the person rowing it.

Chen Jiu Si!
That's right, it's Chen Jiu Si.

Just then, Chen Jie's small boat slowly approached, and he happened to see Zhang Dingbian lying in the water: "Hehe, Dingbian, are you practicing swimming?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dingbian replied, "My lord, you flatter me."

Chen Jie then handed him the bamboo pole. He grabbed one end of the pole, and Chen Jie exerted force. In the next moment, the bamboo pole was lifted up, and Zhang Dingbian was pulled onto the small boat.

The next moment, Chen Jie approached the large ship in front of him as if no one was there. When he got to the ship, Chen Jie threw the bamboo pole to Zhang Dingbian and then jumped onto the bow.

At this moment, Basong was gripping Li Bona's neck, tilting his head to look at Chen Jiu Si who had jumped onto the boat.

His gaze held a mixture of surprise and boundless anger.

Seeing Basong looking at him like that, Chen Jie laughed and said, "Hehe, why is Grand Preceptor Basong looking at me like that? Could it be that you are captivated by my unparalleled beauty?"

Chen Jie was very relaxed and didn't seem nervous at all.

This is the feedback that his great strength brings him; his great strength gives Chen Jie enough confidence.

At this moment, Basong realized what was happening and looked at Chen Jie, saying, "You little thief, it was you!"

Chen Jie said, "Hey, I have a name, stop calling me little thief."

"Heh, you dare tell me your name?"

Basong said coldly, his eyes filled with icy coldness.

Chen Jie smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of?"

"Lord!"

When Chen Jie was about to reveal his name, Zhang Dingbian, Fang Susu, and the others behind him were all taken aback. Giving one's name to the enemy was not a good habit.

At this moment, none of them wanted Chen Jie to reveal his name. After all, if people knew your background, what if they plotted against you in the future?

Even if they can't beat you, they might retaliate against your family, so they strongly advise against Chen Jiu Si protecting his name.

Chen Jie replied, "Some things can't be hidden. If he investigates, how could he not know my name?"

"Why don't I tell him now, so he knows who he lost to!"

Upon hearing this, Basong chuckled and said, "Hehe, you're right. There's no way you can hide. Tell me your name!"

Chen Jie said, "Alright, then I'll tell you my name. A true man doesn't change his name or surname. Remember me, I am Zhu Chongba from Haozhou!"

Ok?
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room who knew Chen Jie's real name was stunned, and then looked at Chen Jie with extremely strange eyes.

Good heavens, you're shameless! Zhu Chongba is really unlucky, he's being unfairly blamed for you. How tragic!
Everyone felt sorry for the real Zhu Chongba at this moment. With this clown causing trouble for him, he might really get into big trouble in the future.

Meanwhile, on the distant northern grasslands, Zhu Chongba, looking at the grassland guardian chasing him, shouted the same words: "Remember this, I am Chen Jiu Si from Huangzhou Prefecture. If you have the guts, come and take your revenge on me!"

Upon hearing this, the guardian of the grasslands roared, "Chen Jiu Si, you will regret this! The Chagatai Khanate will never let you go!"

……

Yes, Zhu Chongba was just as shameless as Chen Jiusi. When he went out to do bad things, he always used the other party's name.

For now, let's set aside Zhu Chongba's storyline and return our attention to the main plot.

At this moment, Basong looked at Chen Jie with a cold expression and said, "Zhu Chongba, I'll remember your name!"

Chen Jie said, "Then you'd better remember this well. If you have the guts, go to Haozhou and seek revenge on me in the future!"

After saying this, Chen Jie even revealed a provocative look.

Basong was furious, his fists clenched tightly. At that moment, Chen Jie looked at Basong and said, "By the way, Basong, the guy in your hand is about to be crushed to death. Why don't you give me some face and let him go?"

Let him go?
A fierce glint flashed across Basong's face, and then with a snap, he broke the neck of Libona, who was struggling there.

amount……

Li Bona's eyes widened suddenly, staring intently at Chen Jie, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.

Chen Jie watched as Li Bona's life slowly slipped away, feeling extremely regretful. Damn it, if it weren't for that bastard Basong, he would have already absorbed Li Bona's Dao Fruit.

There's nothing we can do now; we can only watch helplessly as the Dao Fruit of Libona slips away before our eyes.

pat!

Li Bona's corpse lay on the ground. Looking at Li Bona's body lying there, Chen Jie sighed, "Sorry, I'm late!"

Was Chen Jie late?
Chen Jie actually arrived quite early, before the two sides even clashed. However, Chen Jie did not show himself. He was aware that Li Bona wanted to use him as a pawn, and knowing this, he could not fall for Li Bona's scheme.

So Chen Jie kept watching Li Bona and the others from the shadows.

He was also secretly assessing Basong's fighting ability, and only came out when Libona was about to be killed by Basong.

If Chen Jie only appeared after Li Bona had died, it would seem somewhat contrived. Chen Jie should have appeared at the right moment to show his regret for not being able to save Li Bona's life.

In fact, Li Bona's death was destined from the very beginning.

How to describe Li Bona? He has cleverness, but lacks wisdom, and he's also quite ambitious.

From the moment they first met, Chen Jie was assessing this person, and then this guy's series of actions led Chen Jie to conclude that this person could not stay.

Chen Jie's goal wasn't to help the Southeast Asian countries resist the Siamese invasion. He wasn't a fighter for freedom; Chen Jie was a greedy politician, the kind who would exploit any opportunity. Having arrived in Southeast Asia and witnessed its immense trade value, how could Chen Jie possibly refrain from interfering?

However, the local forces in Southeast Asia are very powerful and stubborn. If the Siamese national teacher, Pasong, is his enemy, then how could Talibona not be his enemy as well?

Or rather, Chen Jie's goal is to prevent any Molten God Realm experts from appearing in the South China Sea during his rule, because they would all become a burden to his conquest of the South China Sea.

Basong is one of them, and Libona is also a burden to him, so Chen Jie wants to get rid of them, or if he can recruit them for his own use, Chen Jie is willing to take them in.

However, it is clear that Libona is not someone who can be kept for one's own use. This man is truly ambitious and is by no means willing to be subordinate to others. Therefore, it is basically impossible to keep him for one's own use.

This was Chen Jie's second reason for wanting to kill him.

The third reason is that this person likes to be clever. He killed King Wuping himself, but he wanted to claim the credit. He used some linguistic skills to get the result he wanted.

Secondly, there's the Battle of Jialuo. Good heavens, this guy actually treated Chen Jie as a tool, trying to get Chen Jie to help him hold off or force Basong to retreat so he could reap the benefits. It's undeniable that he's incredibly foolish.

Chen Jie has always been the one scheming against others; when has he ever been schemed against in his life? This guy actually tried to scheme against Chen Jie; if he doesn't die, who will?

For so many reasons, Chen Jie ultimately chose to let Li Bona die, this time by using the hand of the Siamese national teacher, Basong.

Even if Basong hadn't made a move, Chen Jie would have found a way to do it anyway. But since Basong did, it was definitely something to be happy about for Chen Jie, saving him the trouble of having to do it again.

It's a pity about Libona's Dao Fruit; we can only watch it dissipate. What a pity!

Of course, even without Li Bona's Dao Fruit, Chen Jie still made a huge profit this time. After all, with Li Bona dead, no one in the Nanyang Allied Forces could rival Zhang Dingbian. As long as he helped Zhang Dingbian win this battle...

Then Zhang Dingbian's reputation as a war god will be confirmed. At that time, who in Southeast Asia would dare to disobey Zhang Dingbian's command? The Southeast Asian Allied Forces will become my allied forces.

In this way, he could use the power of the Nanyang Allied Forces to gradually gain control of Nanyang. Once he had control over Nanyang, Chen Jie could appoint Shen Wansan as Minister of Commerce to begin trade with Nanyang.

The speed at which maritime trade generates wealth far surpasses that of land-based trade.

With Shen Wansan's business acumen, he could certainly use the South China Sea as a platform to bring back a gold mine for Chen Jie—not just a gold mine, but an inexhaustible gold mine.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie was very happy, but he did not show it on the surface.

At this moment, Chen Jie looked at Li Bona's corpse on the ground and said with a trace of regret, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect the enemy to be so ruthless, daring to kill someone in front of me. Don't worry, I will avenge you."

As he spoke, Chen Jie slowly raised his head and saw Basong looking over at the same time. Their eyes met, and Chen Jie slowly raised his hand and said, "Basong, this National Preceptor Libona devoted himself to the peace of the Southeast Asian countries. You cruelly murdered him. This grudge must be avenged!"

Upon hearing this, Basong squinted at Chen Jie and said, "Heh, Zhu Chongba, you still dare to seek revenge against me."

"You stole my divine blood and ruined my plans. I haven't even sought revenge yet. But I have some questions: how did you survive?"

Basong could no longer hold back and asked his question. That's right, his question was how Chen Jie had survived.

It should be known that those who use the blood of immortals almost always die suddenly, and very few can survive. However, Chen Jiu Si actually obtained such good blood, which was something he never expected. Therefore, he couldn't help but ask, "Does Chen Jiu Si have an immortal body like me?"

Basong frowned and looked at Chen Jie. Chen Jie, seeing Basong looking at him like that, smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, you're very curious, aren't you? Do you think I also have an immortal body?"

Basong squinted and asked, "How do you know about immortality?"

Chen Jie said, "Is your brain rusty? How could I not know you're immortal?"

“Basong, think about it yourself. During the great battle in the sea, you were clearly torn to pieces by the dragon, but today, you are still standing in front of me, alive and kicking. Besides being immortal, are you perhaps the twin brother of the dead Basong?”

Basong fell silent upon hearing this. What Chen Jie said was indeed true. He had indeed died in battle. Since he had died in battle and was torn to pieces by the dragon, the fact that he was now alive and kicking could only be explained by his immortality.

But how do you explain this 'Zhu Chongba'? You know, no one who uses the blood of the immortals survives by exploding. But Zhu Chongba has clearly used the blood of the immortals, yet he is still standing here alive and kicking. This is something very unusual.

Could it be that Zhu Chongba also had some extraordinary encounter that granted him immortality?

Basong himself had a miraculous experience, so he was quite accepting of others having such an experience and gaining immortality.

At this moment, Basong looked at Chen Jie with a probing gaze.

Chen Jie didn't point it out. In fact, the bug of immortality was a good cover for him. Thinking this, Chen Jie looked at Basong and said, "Basong, if you can have immortality, why can't I?"

"That's right, I am immortal, so this divine blood can't kill me!"

"immortal?"

Basong said, "Impossible. There is no way there could be an immortal being in this world."

Chen Jie chuckled and said, "If you don't believe me, have you ever heard of the phoenix's rebirth?"

Phoenix rising from the ashes!

Basong was taken aback. He was from the Central Plains and naturally knew about the phoenix. Phoenixes never die. Before each death, they undergo a rebirth, a resurrection, making them immortal!

Thinking of this, Basong asked, "Are you cultivating the Phoenix Nirvana?"

"no!"

Chen Jie answered calmly. Upon hearing this, Basong was stunned, and his face immediately contorted with rage: "You're playing me!"

Chen Jie replied, "Haha, Basong, you're not exactly naive. Why would I tell you my trump card? Just like you wouldn't tell me why you're immortal, would you?"

Basong squinted and said, "That's true, but whether you have an immortal body or not is not up to you to decide."

Chen Jie said, "I didn't expect you to believe me just based on a few words. How about we try it out!"

At this moment, Chen Jie raised his hand, and immediately a series of dragon roars resounded.

ooh ooh...

Hearing the roars of dragons, Basong's gaze sharpened, and he said, "You dare to fight me?"

Basong wasn't being arrogant. After all, he had fought Chen Jie underwater and had assessed Chen Jie's strength then. Chen Jie was only at the first stage of the Fusion God realm, which was considered quite powerful, at least stronger than Li Bona, whom he had crushed to death.

However, to say that he could fight against a second-stage Molten God, especially someone like himself, is wishful thinking.

At this moment, Basong chuckled and said, "You really don't know your place. Since that's the case, let me teach you how to face a strong person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Basong roared and then suddenly raised his hand. The next moment, a series of beastly roars rang out behind him.

At this moment, Chen Jie and Basong exchanged a glance, and almost simultaneously unleashed a powerful downward strike. The next moment, with a loud bang, the entire warship was submerged, and with a splash, a giant wave rose up.

With a loud crash, a giant wave slammed onto the deck, shattering it into pieces. At that moment, a salty, fishy smell mixed with the odor of sawdust filled the air.

Meanwhile, waves surged outwards, making it difficult for surrounding ships to approach.

At this moment, Chen Jie lightly touched the deck with his toes, and the next moment his body rose up like a pine tree. Immediately afterward, his right palm rolled up with the faint sound of wind and thunder. At the same time, a golden dragon coiled up in the air, which was the Dragon Battle in the Wild from the Eighteen Palms of Capturing Dragon.

With a palm strike, a golden dragon instantly spiraled upwards, and the water that had been splashing up on the deck was shaken into droplets that sprayed out in all directions, heading straight for Basong's face.

This move is a test, but if you can't handle it, it will be a disaster.

Moreover, the Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms, after absorbing the power of the Dao Fruit and being enhanced by Chen Jie's current power at the second stage of the Fusion God realm, has undergone a qualitative change.

At this point, the power is greater, the variations are more numerous, and the techniques are more agile.

Basong's gaze narrowed slightly, neither flinching nor dodging. He clenched his fist, and in the next moment, his arms suddenly swelled several inches. In the next moment, his skin began to show bluish-black patterns. Immediately afterward, a beast-like voice came from the air, and then he suddenly threw a punch. In the next moment, a giant snake suddenly rushed towards Chen Jie.

At this moment, Chen Jie's fist and palm collided with Basong's, and a muffled sound rang out. Basong suddenly changed his move [Xiang Liu Tan Hai], turning his fist into a claw and attacking Chen Jie. His left arm, like a serpent, wrapped around Chen Jie's right wrist, and then his right arm swung out into a claw, grabbing directly at Chen Jie's left ribs.

The giant snake in the air opened its mouth and suddenly bit at Chen Jie.

Startled by what he saw, he did not give up. Instead, he immediately activated the Qiankun Great Technique. At that moment, Basong suddenly grabbed Chen Jie's left rib with his claw. Normally, this move would at least have pulled out Chen Jie's rib.

But to his surprise, this grab felt like grabbing a bar of soap—slippery and incredibly slippery. A mysterious force directly neutralized his strength.

Chen Jie tried to pull his right palm away, but Basong wouldn't let him. He grabbed Chen Jie's right palm tightly and threw a punch at him.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jie suddenly raised his left hand and unleashed the same move, "Benefit from Crossing the Great River."

The next moment, their fists and palms collided, and at the same time, their bodies landed on the deck. The huge warship seemed to have been hit by a huge force, and the next moment, with a loud bang, it crashed into the water. The force was directly dissipated into the sea.

The next moment, there was a loud bang, and the entire sea surface exploded!

The water splashed more than three zhang high!
