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

Chapter 555 You, how dare you! (Seeking monthly votes)

"You really have quite the appetite for the whole of Southeast Asia!"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "In this life, one should be bold, right, Grand Preceptor? Otherwise, wouldn't one's life be wasted?"

Upon hearing this, Basong frowned and said, "Hmph, you really have a big mouth. You want to swallow up all of Southeast Asia? Do you have that much ability?"

"Hehe, why don't we just do an experiment and see?"

Basong squinted at his words and said, "It seems you're prepared to fight me to the death today."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "This battle was meant to be between us. Let's fight!"

Basong squinted and said, "Fine, since that's the case, this place will be your burial ground today."

After they finished speaking, they stopped talking and began to adjust their breathing to quickly enter battle mode. At the same time, the weather outside also began to change.

A dark cloud in the sky moved away from the moon, and bright moonlight shone into the mountains and forests. Through the pine needles of the pine trees, it was projected onto the ground, leaving faint shadows that obscured half of Chen Jie's face.

At this moment, Chen Jie stood on a half-foot-thick layer of fallen leaves, his gaze fixed on Basong, and he exuded a terrifying aura of a powerful figure.

Meanwhile, Basong on the opposite side was also mobilizing his power, and a powerful aura burst forth from his body, causing the leaves in the forest to crack and rustle.

Both of them were increasing the strength of their internal energy. Finally, when their internal energy reached a certain level, their eyes met suddenly. This glance revealed their feelings at that moment. Then, Chen Jie suddenly stretched out his right hand, and his five fingers slowly curled up. A faint golden light appeared between his knuckles, indicating that his internal energy was circulating.

This is a move Chen Jie rarely uses, called "Double Dragons Taking Water," which is one of the few grappling techniques in the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Capture.

It emphasizes the flow of Qi through the three gates and the penetration of force through the seven meridians. With the claws flying, it is extremely powerful. This is actually a move from the Dragon Claw Kung Fu.

The Eighteen Palms of Dragon Capture is a powerful martial art that integrates many external martial arts techniques. It can be said to be the culmination of external martial arts techniques. The Double Dragons Taking Water technique is derived from the Fierce Dragon Claw technique in Shaolin Dragon Claw Kung Fu.

It is more powerful and more ferocious.

Chen Jie's use of this move as a starting stance was not without reason. After all, Basong was skilled in Xiangliu Divine Skill, which mainly consisted of fist techniques. Using claws to counter fists was a good idea.

Seeing that Chen Jie had already taken his starting stance, Basong no longer had any intention of negotiating. At this moment, he suddenly kicked the ground with his left foot, instantly crushing the half-foot-thick layer of fallen and decaying leaves around him into dust. Then he suddenly rushed towards Chen Jie.

The first strike is "Snake Emerging from its Cave," a move derived from Xiangliu Divine Skill. Xiangliu was originally a nine-headed serpent, so Snake Fist is also part of Xiangliu Divine Skill.

At that moment, Basong suddenly made a move. His right hand, like a snake spitting its tongue, brought a foul and putrid wind that rushed straight towards Chen Jie's face. Before the wind of the fist even arrived, the fallen leaves on the ground were already swirling up and forming a small bluish-black vortex.

This demonstrates Basong's ability to evolve martial arts. Originally, it was just a simple move called "Snake Emerging from its Cave," but he unexpectedly transformed it into a rather tricky technique within the Xiangliu Divine Skill: "Poisonous Python Probes the Way."

The palm strike contained a deadly internal force cultivated over many years; it was extremely insidious and would cause injury upon contact.

Seeing Basong's attack, Chen Jie neither dodged nor avoided it. He slightly lowered his left shoulder and his right dragon claw reached out. As the claw approached, the golden energy on it suddenly surged. With a muffled bang, the two men's palm and claw collided, and their energies collided and exploded.

The surrounding air seemed to explode, with powerful air currents bursting out, and fallen leaves flying like a chaotic rain.

Chen Jie felt a chilling, bone-piercing force spreading from his arm to his shoulder, like countless small snakes gnawing at his meridians.

Chen Jie frowned slightly, his internal energy surged, and the Everlasting Spring Skill was secretly activated. The powerful life force surged directly through his meridians. At this moment, within the narrow meridians, Basong's venomous energy, like a poisonous snake, attacked Chen Jie's heart along his meridians.

On the other side, Chen Jie's life force came from the opposite direction. The moment the two met, the Evergreen Skill instantly transformed into a large tree. The branches instantly controlled the sinister energy, and then, driven by the powerful life force, they were actually forced out.

Bang!
With a muffled thud, Chen Jie and Basong's hands separated. At this moment, Chen Jie's left hand had already formed a claw and was aimed straight at Basong's groin. This move was extremely vicious, and if one was not careful, it would result in a complete loss of his manhood.

Basong sensed Chen Jie's evil intentions and was greatly alarmed. He quickly reached out to block.

clap clap clap...

Not far from Basong's groin, a series of loud thuds occurred, and the two exchanged several blows in a short period of time.

Bang!
With another sound, the two separated, but that wasn't the end of it. Basong stepped on a boulder behind him, and the next moment his figure flashed back like a ghost. Then his left hand turned into a claw, and his right hand into a fist.

They attacked left and right alternately, launching a continuous offensive that went straight for Chen Jie.

The most proficient aspect of Xiangliu Divine Skill's boxing style is close-quarters combat. Its moves are characterized by the cunning and ruthlessness of a snake hunting its prey. Sometimes, it moves like a nimble snake coiling around a tree, slithering along Chen Jie's arm, attempting to attack Chen Jie's weak points.

At times, it was like a giant python constricting, striking head-on, hard against hard, its arms encircling Chen Jie with a suffocating sense of oppression, as if a giant snake was trying to lock her up.

Each punch he threw left a deep black crater in the ground, and each step he took left a patch of charred black on the ground, with wisps of white smoke rising from the charred black.

It's poison, yes, it's poison.

The Xiangliu Divine Skill is not just a set of fist techniques, but also a set of poison techniques. Every move and every stance is designed to infiltrate poison into Chen Jie's body. If Chen Jie had not cultivated the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique and possessed strong life force, he would probably have been poisoned by the terrible toxins of the Xiangliu Divine Skill long ago.

He's probably lying on the ground, unable to move, now; that's how terrifying Basong is.

Of course, although Basong was terrifying, Chen Jie was no simple character either. Despite the danger posed by Basong's attacks, Chen Jie remained remarkably calm and composed, using the Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms with perfect balance and effortless ease.

Throughout the process, he countered each move with ease, his palm techniques were wide and sweeping, and he was always able to block Basong's attacks at the last possible moment.

At this moment, Basong pressed forward again. Chen Jie suddenly stomped his foot on the ground, raised his hand, and golden light flashed. The sound of a dragon's roar was wrapped in the wind of his palm.

Ouch...

A golden dragon appeared behind Chen Jie. At this moment, Chen Jie swung a palm at Basong. The palm strike sent a terrifying gust of wind that swept past the tree trunks beside him. The branches, as thick as bowls, snapped in two with a clean break, demonstrating that the palm strike was as sharp as a knife.

[The dragon appears in the field]

Chen Jie unleashed a palm strike, "Dragon Appears in the Field," at Basong. The palm strike produced a series of dragon roars and was incredibly powerful, striking directly at Basong.

Basong dared not be careless at this moment. He roared and his body was immediately enveloped in dark blue energy, which then manifested as a two-headed giant snake behind him.

The double-headed form of the willow.

After unleashing this move, he suddenly attacked Chen Jie, his fists slamming down in a strangulation pattern, one on the left and one on the right, as if he wanted to strangle Chen Jie.

Two snakes devour the heart.

With a sudden attack, he charged at Chen Jie, who, upon seeing this, countered with a palm strike of "Divine Dragon Tail Swing."

Ouch...

The voice of the dragon rang out, and the next moment the dragon suddenly attacked Basong's two-headed snake. A dragon tail descended from the clouds and struck the two-headed snake. With a loud bang, the two-headed snake was flung away by the dragon tail!

However, at the same time, the two-headed snake also bit the dragon's tail.

With a deafening boom, the two-headed serpent and the divine dragon almost simultaneously transformed into a gust of wind and vanished into the air. Chen Jie and Basong were also forced back more than ten steps before finally coming to a stop.

The two exchanged a glance, and Chen Jie said, "The Imperial Preceptor's strength is indeed remarkable."

Basong's gaze sharpened upon hearing this, and he said, "Hmph, stop with the sarcasm. You can't beat me with your strength."

After speaking, Basong attacked again. Seeing this, Chen Jie countered his moves and went to meet him. The two fought in the forest, exchanging more than ten blows in the blink of an eye. Basong's punches became faster and faster, and dark blue energy swirled around him. Even the surrounding pine trees were affected by his power and swayed back and forth.

With the enhancement of his inner energy, countless pine needles transformed into countless flying needles that hurtled towards Chen Jie. Each pine needle even carried a foul, fishy smell.

Just being touched by Basong's Qi is enough to make it poisonous. Basong's Xiangliu Divine Skill is known as the king of poisons, and it seems that it truly lives up to its reputation.

At this moment, Chen Jie used the powerful and sweeping Eighteen Palms of Dragon Capture to counterattack. Having reached its peak, he was naturally immune to all poisons. The eighteen palm techniques of the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Capture had completely transformed into his arms. This was probably the strongest state that the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Capture had been pushed to.

Even the great hero Guo Jing never mastered this palm technique to this extent, unlike Chen Jie.

After another seven or eight moves, Basong suddenly let out a low shout, then crossed his fists in front of his chest and forcefully separated them to the sides. Instantly, a thick layer of decaying leaves piled up on the ground surged up like a fountain, transforming into two giant, bluish-black snakes that coiled in the air.

With its illusory mouth open, spewing black poisonous gas, it attacked Chen Jie's ribs from both sides. Seeing this, Chen Jie's eyes shone brightly. Instead of retreating, he advanced, stomping heavily on the ground. A piece of bluestone on the ground shattered with a crash. The next moment, he soared into the sky, as if he had transformed into a dragon soaring through the heavens.

[The dragon soars into the sky!]

Teng!
Chen Jie shot straight into the sky, then fell from the air, unleashing a palm strike at Basong: "Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

Ow...

As he spoke, Chen Jie roared, and a golden dragon appeared and suddenly slammed towards Basong.

Upon seeing this, Basong suddenly raised both hands and shouted, "Two snakes seize the moon!"

With a roar, two venomous snakes coiled upwards, their bodies twisted together like a pretzel, to meet the golden dragon in the sky! Roar…

Roaring, the dragon and snake collided with a thunderous roar. The golden dragon and the two-pronged snake clashed together, causing a huge explosion. With a boom, the force spread in all directions, and the surrounding trees were snapped in half by the terrifying force.

The bluestone under the ancient pine tree was also blasted into dust, and Chen Jie and Basong, as the parties involved, were directly thrown away by the huge shockwave.

Chen Jie felt his blood surging and staggered back more than ten steps before regaining his balance. A trickle of blood even spilled from the corner of his mouth. Basong was also in a bad mood.

After being thrown away by the force of the impact, he crashed directly into an ancient pine tree, which snapped in half at the waist, its needles falling in a flurry and branches breaking off one after another.

At this moment, his expensive clothes were also shattered by the explosion, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. However, Basong was very resolute. He clenched his fist and transferred the injury to the other person.

It was restored to its original state instantly.

Inside the palace, shouts of battle filled the air. Fang Zheng and his men had successfully broken through the city's defenses. Compared to the Divine Dragon Cult soldiers, who had suffered countless grievances and were seething with anger, the city's soldiers were far too weak.

After two rounds of resistance, the inner city gate of the imperial city was breached. From there, there was no defense left in the palace. It could be said that Fang Zheng and his men could easily storm into the palace and face the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor also gathered his troops from inside the palace and stormed in. They met directly in the passageway leading to the palace, and the two sides were immediately filled with hostility.

Fang Zheng immediately spotted the emperor leading the charge, and charged straight at him, raising his long sword to slash at him.

The emperor saw someone charging towards him but showed no fear. He raised his long sword and slashed back. Although his martial arts skills were not top-notch, he was not someone that just anyone could mess with. His strength was close to the late stage of the Furnace Realm, making him a very powerful master.

Fang Zheng's strength was not particularly strong, having just broken through to the Furnace Realm. When he rushed up and slashed with his sword, he was actually countered by the opponent's sword and was sent flying by the force of the blow.

boom……

Fang Zheng crashed heavily into the crowd. At that moment, a group of soldiers rushed up to kill him, but Fang Zheng simply rolled on the spot and with a flourish of his longsword, slit the throats of the surrounding soldiers.

"puff……"

However, after the exchange, Fang Zheng also coughed up a mouthful of blood. He had been caught off guard and clashed swords with the emperor, never expecting the emperor to be so strong.

Fang Susu was initially shocked by the emperor's immense power, but then, seeing her brother vomiting blood after being beaten, she was filled with rage and roared, "You scoundrel, how dare you hurt my brother! Die!"

As she spoke, she rushed straight toward the emperor. Zhang Cuishan, who was standing nearby, was shocked and shouted, "Susu, be careful!"

After speaking, he rushed forward ahead of Fang Susu. The emperor had already slashed at Fang Susu with his sword, but it was blocked by Zhang Cuishan. The emperor frowned and immediately increased his strength. Zhang Cuishan's strength was not at the Furnace Realm, but only at the peak of the Dragon Realm. Logically speaking, he should have been powerless to resist the emperor, who was a much larger being.

Unexpectedly, when the emperor increased his strength, it felt like he was hitting cotton. The next moment, Zhang Cuishan, with Fang Susu's waist in his arms, used the force to pull back directly!

The emperor was stunned by what he saw.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this!"

Zhang Cuishan retreated and landed smoothly in one go. After he finished doing all this, he took a deep breath, and at the same time, a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

so close!

"Are you OK."

At this moment, Zhang Cuishan looked at Fang Susu, who shook her head. She had rushed forward in a moment of impulsiveness and immediately felt the emperor's terrifying killing intent. It would be difficult to retreat now, given the vast difference in strength. Fortunately, Zhang Cuishan intervened at that moment.

Zhang Cuishan was still shaken. He, a peak-level Dragon Realm cultivator, was facing an emperor at the upper realm of the Furnace Realm, a difference of a whole realm. This was terrifying. One wrong move and he could lose his life.

However, he was also lucky, as he actually managed to comprehend one of the moves in the Tai Chi sword technique that his master had taught him under those circumstances.

It was this move that allowed him to overcome the odds and escape from the emperor's clutches. Thinking of this, Zhang Cuishan was also filled with excitement. If he could master all twenty-four moves of the Tai Chi Sword Technique, what a magnificent scene that would be!

At this moment, Heiligu, Gematai, and Duxiong also rushed up.

Du Xiong looked at Zhang Cuishan and Fang Susu and asked, "Are you alright?"

The two shook their heads slightly. At this moment, Hei Ligu looked up and suddenly stared at the emperor, shouting, "False Emperor, what have you done to His Highness!"

When the emperor heard Heiligu call him a false emperor, he roared, "Heiligu, how dare you be so disrespectful as a royal retainer?"

"False Emperor, I'm asking you, where is His Highness?"

"Hmph, what else can they do but cut open his chest, rip out his heart, and offer it as a sacrifice to the heavens!"

"You, you dog emperor, how dare you! Prepare to die!"

At that moment, Hei Ligu roared and charged at the emperor, brandishing his broadsword: "You dog emperor, I'll kill you!"

"Heh, you think you can kill me? I was just about to kill you, and now that you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, perfect! I'll use your life as a sacrifice to the heavens!"

With a roar, the emperor's knife slashed down even more fiercely the next moment. Feeling the emperor's ferocious strike, Hei Ligu gritted his teeth and took the hit. With a clang, Hei Ligu was knocked back two steps. His strength was no match for this damned emperor.

Seeing this, Gematai shouted, "I'm here to help you!"

Having said that, he charged forward, his long sword aimed directly at the dog emperor. The two attacked the dog emperor together. Seeing this, Du Xiong roared, "I'll help you too!"

As Du Xiong spoke, he charged forward. The next moment, his Golden Bell Shield activated, and he and the dog emperor's broadswords clashed together.

The three fought the Dog Emperor, and the three of them were locked in a fierce battle. However, the Dog Emperor was too powerful. He fought against all three of them and did not fall behind for a while. Seeing this, Zhang Cuishan was also enraged. He picked up his sword and joined the battle. The four of them fought against the Dog Emperor.

For a moment, only four people remained on the battlefield, fighting each other. Two of them were at the Furnace Realm, and two were at the Dragon Realm. However, these two Dragon Realm experts were not to be underestimated. One of them had mastered the Golden Bell Cover, one of the four great skills of Shaolin, and the other was Zhang Cuishan, a disciple of Zhang Zhenren of Wudang. It can be said that the strength of these two was no weaker than that of an ordinary Furnace Realm expert.

With the combined attack of the four, the emperor could only put up a fight, but that was not important. What was important was that even with the combined efforts of the four, they could not defeat this scoundrel emperor for a time.

For a moment, the four of them were locked in a stalemate. Meanwhile, Fang Zheng and Fang Susu were consolidating their forces and continuing to fight against the emperor's personal guards. The entire battlefield was in chaos, with shouts of battle deafening.

Kill, kill, kill!

As shouts of battle rang out, the scene spiraled out of control. Everyone in the field brandished swords and knives, and corpses littered the ground, with blood flowing like a river.

But at the center of the battlefield remained five trembling figures. The emperor then brandished his greatsword and roared angrily at those around him: "Traitors! Traitors! A bunch of traitors!"

Hearing the emperor's curses, Hei Ligu roared, "You are the traitor, you are the usurper!"

"Bah! What traitors? This world originally belonged to our family. What does our family's internal affairs have to do with you? Now that you've rebelled against me, you're nothing but traitors."

Hearing the emperor's curses, the privates in the room didn't waste any words and all brandished their swords to launch an unrestricted counterattack against the emperor.

Kill, kill, kill!

For a moment, the five people were locked in a stalemate. Just when everyone was struggling to determine the winner, the emperor, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and almost collapsed to the ground.

Ah!
Everyone was stunned by what they saw, not understanding what was going on. But at that moment, everyone knew that this was a rare opportunity, so the four of them immediately began to intensify their attack, using their swords and spears at their strongest, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the emperor.

The emperor hurriedly dodged, but the blow he had just received had already injured his internal organs. Normally, it wouldn't have been a problem, as he would have just needed to rest for a while. However, now that they were fighting for their lives, the injury immediately made his limbs weak and unable to resist.

At this moment, the emperor's face turned ashen, and he cursed inwardly, "Basong, you bastard."

The others, however, gave him no chance. They swarmed forward and quickly subdued him. At that moment, they held their swords to his neck, while the others were still wondering how to deal with this scoundrel of an emperor.

At this moment, Gematai walked up behind the dog emperor in a few steps, pulled off the dog emperor's clothes, and then saw a golden straw figure pattern on the dog emperor's neck.

While the others were still discussing how to deal with this scoundrel emperor, Du Xiong said, "If all else fails, let's wait for our lord to return."

The emperor, however, arrogantly declared, "You bunch of treacherous officials, I advise you not to harbor any improper thoughts about me, or the Imperial Advisor will not spare you when he returns..."

amount……

Before the emperor could finish speaking, a knife suddenly pierced through his heart from behind.

The emperor stared in disbelief at his pierced chest, then turned to look at Gematai, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"You, how dare you..."

The next moment, it crashed to the ground with a thud, and the corpse fell to the ground!
