Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Just then, Xi Mentang's army captured Munhee Villa in Andong County, Goryeo.

at this time,

On a mountain a hundred miles away from Wenxi Villa.

"Bitter Saint, the army of Ximen Hall has captured Wenxi Manor and killed Wen Xicheng of the Netherworld Sect."

"At this time, the entire Wenxi Manor was under heavy guard, and our intelligence personnel could not get close."

"Within a ten-mile radius, there are Ximentang's scouts everywhere, and there are also many hidden sentries."

"Even the Japanese ninjas couldn't get close and didn't know the situation inside Wenxi Manor."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Prince Qian, Chen Jie, should be staying at Wenxi Villa for the time being."

Several martial artists dressed in black bodysuits knelt before an old man.

The old man appeared calm and collected, with gray hair.

Before him lay a long sword, emanating an extremely domineering aura.

this moment,
His gaze was deep, as if he could see a hundred miles away at a glance.

He blends seamlessly into his surroundings, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.

call--!
The gray-haired old man exhaled.

A ripple spread around him, just as his longsword vanished into the void.

Kunlun Bitter Saint – Solo Journey!

Ever since his son Shan Tu was killed by Chen Jie with a single sword in the Kunlun Mountains.

During this period, hatred gave him boundless power, which actually enabled him to break through to the third stage of meditation – calming the mind.

of course,

With the assistance of Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman in the Orient.

-

Inside the Munhee Villa in Andong County, Goryeo.

Late at night, a full moon hangs high in the sky.

Chen Jie slowly opened his eyes from his cultivation. He didn't rush to leave Wenxi Manor, but instead found a room in the manor and waited quietly.

The final battle in Busan, Goryeo, has begun.

Under the leadership of Yan Kuangtu, Ximen Tang's army was invincible and crushed everything in its path.

With Ximentang's formidable fighting power, it would only take one day to conquer the entire Busan City.

but,

At this crucial moment, he will also face the most brutal challenge.

at this time,

His state of mind was very peaceful, without any killing intent or fighting spirit, and he seemed to have become like an enlightened monk.

With his current level of spiritual refinement, he can adjust his state at any time.

He doesn't need to deliberately sleep; he only needs to adjust his mindset to reach his peak condition.

and,

Since entering a state of mental clarity, his mental energy has become more focused, allowing him to easily eliminate all negative states within himself.

Only after entering the state of oblivion from the realm of spiritual refinement can one truly undergo a transformation on the path of martial arts.

Om-!
suddenly,
He sensed something and looked up towards the north of Andong County.

Killing intent!
That's right, it was the killing intent of a powerful being that stirred up the power of heaven and earth, emitting a trace of energy that allowed him to clearly sense it from a hundred miles away.

Someone deliberately used their aura to lure him to the final battle.

Only a sword saint-level expert could manipulate qi so precisely.

"Could it be Miyamoto Musashi? No, Miyamoto Musashi's aura should be much stronger than this. Why is there a trace of Kunlun Sword Sect's aura?"

Chen Jie frowned slightly after sensing this aura.

The sect leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect, Jian Wuming, is located within the Wenxi Manor.

but,

A hundred miles away from Wenxi Manor, there was an aura that resembled Jian Wuming's, but was much stronger.

suddenly,
Remembering something, Chen Jie slowly stood up from the ground.

Clang!
The next moment, he took the Saint-Slaying Sword in his hand, and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

On a mountain peak a hundred miles north of Wenxi Manor, the atmosphere became heavy.

He walked alone, gently wiping the sword in his hand with a towel.

Immediately afterwards, he looked up at Wenxi Villa.

"Qian Wang Chen Jie truly lives up to his reputation as a martial arts prodigy, a once-in-a-millennium talent. He sensed my aura so quickly."

"You all just wait here. Before I talk to Miyamoto Musashi, I'm going to kill this kid first."

He didn't exude any killing intent, but his calm and composed demeanor couldn't conceal the terrifying combat power he possessed.

He threw the towel in his hand away.

Clang!
He sheathed his longsword, then stood up and walked down the mountain.

His hair was gray, and he looked very old, almost ready to be buried. Every step he took seemed so difficult.

but,

He took a step and vanished from his spot in an instant, his speed exceeding all limits, leaving everyone in awe.

He left a trail of afterimages in the air, disappearing without a trace like a shooting star.

In the blink of an eye,
His figure disappeared into the moonlight.

He did not head towards Wenxi Manor, but instead left the mountain and headed directly to the sea.

Waaah—!
A sharp whooshing sound rang out, and at that moment he seemed to have turned into a gust of wind.

In less than half an hour, he had left the land of the Korean Peninsula and headed towards the East Sea.

boom!
He quickly landed on a small island.

Ulleungdo Island in Goryeo, also known as the volcanic island!
After landing on the island, Dudu swung his long sword and slashed it down into the sea.

A sword aura flew away into the distance.

Then,

A powerful shockwave spread around the volcanic island.

Boom—!
The next moment, a thunderous roar erupted.

The sword energy actually condensed into a huge phantom, letting out a roar towards the front.

On the vast sea, under the moonlight, waves rolled and the wind howled.

Not far away, some fishing boats were capsized by the huge waves of the sea.

Walking alone on the outer edge of the volcanic island, I stood on a reef, sat cross-legged, and waited quietly.

Ten minutes later.

The surrounding tsunami finally subsided.

Swish!
Looking up into the distance, he saw a figure flying across the sea, walking on water.

"The Bitter Saint of Kunlun Sword Sect is traveling alone!? I never expected that you, a traitor of Kunlun, would actually run off to Goryeo."

"Your junior brother Jian Wuming is at Wenxi Manor. Would you like to see him?"

"You didn't choose to make your move at Wenxi Manor, but instead used your aura to lure me here. It seems that Miyamoto Musashi plans to make his move here?"

"Where is he? Did he just let you out like a dog and then hide away again?"

The person who came by walking on water was naturally Chen Jie.

"Young man, don't be so arrogant and cocky!"

Du Shixing looked up at Chen Jie not far away, his expression calm.

"My useless junior brother, I never expected him to actually defect to the imperial court, it really disappoints me."

"The Kunlun Sword Sect was actually handed over to such a useless person. My decision to leave back then was the right one."

"This time I came to Korea at the invitation of Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman in the East."

"But he didn't send me to find you; I came on my own. Do you think I'd let you off the hook for killing my son?"

He spoke calmly.

but,

The murderous intent emanating from him at that moment was terrifying.

I can tell,

His hatred for Chen Jie had reached its limit.

in fact,

While it's true that he came to see Miyamoto Musashi, his real purpose in coming to Goryeo was to seek revenge.

He couldn't sleep or eat in peace if he didn't kill Chen Jie.

"Hmph! Not only did you betray the Kunlun Sword Sect, but now you've even sided with the Japanese."

"The Kunlun Sword Sect is unable to clean house, so I'll take over!"

Standing a hundred meters above the sea, Chen Jie spoke slowly and deliberately, drawing his Saint-Slaying Sword as he spoke. "Coming to Goryeo from the Guanzhong region of the Great Qian Dynasty will be the biggest mistake you've ever made."

Upon hearing this, Du Shixing burst into laughter:
"Haha—you really are arrogant!"

"Kid, you don't actually think I'm that good-for-nothing Jian Wuming, do you?"

"Your aura seems much stronger than rumored. I didn't expect your Spirit Refinement Realm to have broken through to the Forgetfulness Realm. Your talent is indeed quite remarkable."

"To be honest, I originally planned to go back to Kunlun and take back everything that belongs to me."

"If I could obtain the inheritance of Kunlun Sword Tomb, I would surely break through the shackles of martial arts, step into the realm of high-level sword saint, and become invincible under heaven!"

“But now, I’ve changed my mind. After I kill you, I’ll settle the score with my useless junior brother.”

He was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a long sword in his hand.

It looks like,
He gives people a sense of otherworldly elegance, and even exudes an aura of transcendence.

Although this is on the sea, the surrounding environment is pitch black.

but,

The aura emanating from Duguxing stirred up the power of heaven and earth, merging everything around him together.

The Way of the Sword is One!

This is an aura that can only be unleashed when one's swordsmanship reaches an extremely high level.

His tone was very calm, yet it conveyed a strong sense of pressure.

"You choose the path to hell when there's no way out!"

"It's a fine night. Come, let me see what level you, the Bitter Saint, one of the Three Saints of Kunlun, have reached in your swordsmanship."

The Three Saints of Kunlun!

This is one of the three great sword saints of the Kunlun Sword Sect, and Du Shixing is Jian Wuming's senior brother, whose swordsmanship is unfathomable.

Chen Jie learned about the Three Saints of the Kunlun Sword Sect from Jian Wuming.

This Bitter Saint is an extremely special sword saint.

He is also an extremely rare master whose martial arts realm surpasses the Refining Spirit realm.

That's right, his martial arts realm is already at the mid-level Sword Saint level, but his spirit refinement realm has only broken through to the third stage of sitting in oblivion - calming the mind!
His individual combat strength is the strongest among the Three Saints of Kunlun.

In terms of the realm of spiritual refinement, he was only one realm higher than his junior brother, Jian Wuming.

but,

In terms of martial arts skill, he was two minor realms higher than Jian Wuming.

Although the two are fellow disciples, there is a significant difference in their combat strength.

Jian Wuming had specifically reminded Chen Jie that his senior brother's combat strength was unfathomable.

All along,
Chen Jie was very interested in the sword techniques of the Kunlun Sword Sect.

The reason is simple: the lineage of the Kunlun Sword Sect is almost identical to that of the Wuji Sword Saint.

After killing Shan Tu with a single sword strike in the Kunlun Mountains, he planned to launch a solo guild attack to seek revenge.

only,
To his surprise, he traveled alone all the way to Korea.

of course,

Every sword saint-level expert has dignity, and even if they die in battle, they would not stoop to assassination.

That's why he used his qi to lure Chen Jie to the volcanic island.

Like Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect, he did not resort to assassination but instead openly challenged Chen Jie to a duel.

This is mutual respect between strong individuals.

Although he hated Chen Jie to the core, he never underestimated Chen Jie.

Waaah—!
A sharp gust of wind swept by, enveloping the surroundings in a terrifying sword domain.

The Saint-Slaying Sword in Chen Jie's hand was drawn from its sheath and stood in mid-air.

this moment,
His primordial spirit and Dharma form merged together, his entire body was like cast bronze, radiating a crimson light.

The Dharma of the Yuan Shen!

This is a characteristic that allows the power of the primordial spirit to merge with the Dharma form only after breaking through from the Refining Spirit Realm to the Sitting in Oblivion Realm.

The fierce killing intent within the sword domain stirred up wave after wave of giant waves.

but,

The giant wave approached within five meters of him, then crashed into a wall and could not move forward.

Its powerful primordial spirit and dharma form are indestructible.

"Hmph! Boy, I swore an oath on my own that in this lifetime, I will not only kill you, but also exterminate your entire clan!"

"I heard your children were just born? Don't worry, I'll have them all come to be with you soon."

After listening to Chen Jie's words, Du Shixing couldn't help but roar.

He held a spirit sword in his hand, his eyes burning with hatred.

From his expression at this moment, one could sense the extent of his hatred for Chen Jie.

The hatred for killing one's son is irreconcilable!

This invincible expert, one of the three great sword saints of the Kunlun Sword Sect, exudes an indescribable aura.

In terms of sword intent, his swordsmanship is grand and majestic, completely different from Meng Lianhua of the Netherworld Sect.

This is the realm of swordsmanship of a prestigious sect, exuding righteousness and awe.

"It is said that the Bitter Sword in your hand is a mid-level spirit sword of the Kunlun Sword Sect."

"Back then, for the sake of this sword, you betrayed Kunlun, wanting to establish your own power in the Guanzhong region."

"You have never been defeated in your life!"

Chen Jie gripped the Saint-Slaying Sword in his hand and pointed ahead, saying...

He could sense the terrifying combat power of this Kunlun Sword Saint from his solitary state.

His body possessed the power of a volcano, blending seamlessly with the entire volcanic island.

Chen Jie had experienced this state of unity between his primordial spirit and the great power of heaven and earth in Meng Lianhua.

To know,
Chen Jie has now broken through to the stage of "sitting in oblivion" in his spiritual cultivation, and he can clearly sense any subtle changes in the surrounding aura.

His divine sense could detect dangers within a radius of a hundred miles.

Once you lock onto an opponent's aura, you can sense it from hundreds of miles away.

He could clearly sense the fluctuations in the aura of a lone traveler at such close range.

at this time,

His solitary fighting spirit blended seamlessly with the environment of the volcanic island.

Chen Jie could sense that the other party's mental strength was much stronger than his own.

No wonder this guy dared to challenge me to a duel all by himself.

However, it is known that the news of Chen Jie killing Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect, has not yet spread throughout the martial arts world.

He only knew that Ximentang had wiped out Wenxi Manor, but he didn't know that Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect, had already died by his sword.

otherwise,

I would never dare to use my Qi to lure Chen Jie to the volcanic island alone.

"go to hell!"

boom!
No sooner had he finished speaking than Du Zixing made his move.

With a single sword strike, he fell from the sky.

Sword Saint Technique - Boundless Sea of ​​Suffering!
They strike with deadly moves from the very first move, without any hesitation or delay.

"Damn it—!"

Chen Jie couldn't help but curse.

His aura exploded instantly as he walked alone.

It was as if a sea had appeared around him, covering an area of ​​more than ten miles in radius.

The sea area coalesced into a gigantic sword shadow.

The sea of ​​suffering is boundless!
this moment,
You can see that his demeanor, when he walks alone, has completely changed from his old and frail appearance.

He looked much younger and was in great shape; he didn't look like someone who was about to die at all.

Under the moonlight

The two sword saint-level experts radiated a dazzling light.

boom!
The sword intent raged around them, and the fighting spirit emanating from Du Shixing became even more ferocious.

The surrounding space resounded with a loud noise, as if it had been torn apart by the sword domain.

He stood on the reef, exuding an aura of dominance over heaven and earth.

The power of the Sword Saint is awe-inspiring!
The power of a mid-level swordsman was fully displayed in him.

He merged the power of heaven and earth together with a single sword strike.

It seemed that Chen Jie was as insignificant as an ant in front of him.

This overhead view instantly suppressed Chen Jie's primordial spirit power. (End of Chapter)
