Chapter 662
The Stars Shift! I am the Law
Thirty-one batches of spirited horses galloped along the road to Hongcheng.
Yan Jiuyou and the other two rode three fine horses in Jiuyou Valley, following behind Chen Jie and helping to push the cart.
All the boxes were placed on the carriage. The three men had just joined Chen Jie's side and naturally wanted to make a good impression.
Therefore,
They kept their heads down, not daring to ride horses, and instead had their own horses pull the trunks.
Where was the demeanor of a cult leader at this moment?
Like the most loyal servants, they are willing to dedicate everything to their masters.
of course,
Whether they genuinely pledged allegiance is no longer important.
Once they became Chen Jie's subordinates, they had almost no ability to resist.
Subtly and gradually, Chen Jie's imprint has been left in their subconscious without their awareness.
The longer the contact, the deeper the imprint.
After leaving the dense forest path in Qingyang County, we soon entered a major official road.
The convoy began to speed up, but to Chen Jie's surprise, the support team from the Ximentang Special Forces Regiment had not yet arrived.
At this time, the battle in Busan had entered its most intense phase.
Ximen Tang's army began to besiege Busan City, while Ximen Tang's fleet landed at Hongcheng Port.
That is,
More than half of the entire Korean Peninsula has fallen into the hands of Ximentang.
Chen Jie originally thought that he would be ambushed a second time in the dense forest of Qingyang County.
but,
The second wave of assassins did not appear until the convoy was about to reach Hongcheng.
Chen Jie couldn't help but frown slightly. Had he made a mistake in his prediction?
"Thirty miles ahead is Lishan County, east of Hongcheng. We will arrive at Lishan County in an hour."
"We'll rest in Lishan County tonight. The Ximentang Special Forces Regiment is already stationed there, waiting to pick us up."
"Yesan County is the gateway from Hongseong to Busan. Our Ximentang army of 300,000 has blocked Busan's reinforcements. After arriving in Hongseong, I will face Miyamoto Musashi!"
He pointed to a town in the distance and took a deep breath.
drive--!
The Akhal-Teke horse seemed to possess a spirit, galloping wildly forward.
There was no need to crack the whip; it seemed to sense Chen Jie's will.
Giddy up—giddy up—!
As Chen Jie began to speed up, the others started pushing the carriages and galloping forward at full speed.
The sky was gradually darkening.
As the sun sets, perhaps it's because war is raging across the entire Korean Peninsula.
Therefore,
There was hardly anyone on the main road, not even any local residents.
suddenly,
The two Mongolian horses in front stopped abruptly.
Animals have a very keen sixth sense of danger. They seemed to have sensed the danger and stopped moving forward, pawing at each other's hooves.
Waaah—!
As a strong gust of wind blew by, almost all the warhorses came to a stop.
They seemed to sense a strong sense of crisis and felt fear in their hearts. After stopping, they raised their front hooves and let out a series of neighs.
"stop!"
Jian Wuming shouted, his expression turning serious.
He was from the Northwest and was very familiar with the sense of crisis surrounding horses.
The horse he was riding was an Akhal-Teke, a herbivore that reigned supreme on the grasslands and rarely showed fear.
Even when facing hungry wolves on the grasslands, the Akhal-Teke horse is never afraid.
It is like the king of the herd; with just one roar, thousands of horses gallop, and even the largest wolf pack on the grassland has to give way to its might.
It can be said that the Akhal-Teke horse is the uncrowned king of the grasslands.
But now, they are so frightened that they are roaring.
This shows that there must be something ahead that makes them feel fear, or even sense the presence of death.
When Chen Jie and Jian Wuming's Akhal-Teke horses stopped, all the other horses also stopped moving.
There was no one on the main road, only the howling wind blowing.
at this time,
Time seemed to stand still, and the sky quickly darkened.
Dark clouds began to gather, obscuring the last rays of the setting sun.
but,
It wasn't pitch black, but rather the sky was covered with dark clouds, yet you could still see the stars faintly visible above.
A full moon slowly peeked out from the gaps in the dark clouds.
The night sky became dazzling, vast, and magnificent.
"What happened? Why did it suddenly get dark? Oh no—!"
Jian Wuming looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and then saw the stars that were faintly visible in the sky.
hiss--!
He gasped, a sudden sense of unease washing over him.
No one else knew what had happened; everyone looked up at the sky, their faces full of confusion.
"Primordial Spirit Dharma Form! Shield the Heavenly Secrets, everyone be careful—!"
Suddenly, Chen Jie looked up and roared.
Clang—!
The next moment, a sword light flashed out.
A single sword's chilling light pierces nineteen provinces!
The sword light flashed past, unstoppable, as if it had torn the sky apart with a single strike.
Everyone felt an enormous sword shadow appear in the sky.
at the same time,
A vast and boundless aura descended.
boom!
It was as if a mirror had shattered, and the starry sky before my eyes suddenly collapsed.
As the sun sets, a heartbroken traveler wanders the ends of the earth!
The setting sun still hung in the sky, casting a golden glow over everything.
On the main road, the surrounding trees swayed constantly in the strong wind.
Where are the dark clouds in the sky? Where are the stars? Where is the full moon?
Illusion!
That's right, everything just now was just an illusion.
It is the great power of heaven and earth condensed from the primordial spirit and Dharma form, sealing the heavens and locking the earth, changing the world!
hiss--!
Everyone snapped out of their daze and couldn't help but gasp.
Such powerful spiritual energy! It can change the world and make so many people lose their way in the illusion.
After everyone regained consciousness, they saw a woman dressed in white standing in the middle of the road a hundred meters ahead.
I couldn't see her exact appearance, nor did I know her age.
All that could be seen was her graceful figure and her ethereal, fairy-like aura.
Judging from her figure alone, one can tell that she is a woman of breathtaking beauty.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way and using your primordial spirit form to shield us from heavenly secrets and ambush us?"
100 meters away,
Jian Wuming drew the nine swords from his back and stared intently at the woman in front of him.
He did not make a move, but remained vigilant.
In that instant, the stars shifted, dark clouds covered the sky, and a completely different scene unfolded.
His divine sense was affected.
Therefore,
At this moment, he was extremely wary of this woman and dared not make the slightest move.
in addition,
When they saw all the wild horses around them cowering in fear, even trembling, they realized that all the wild horses around them were afraid to move forward.
He knew very well that this woman was no ordinary person; she was definitely a ruthless character and not to be trifled with.
"Hmm? Interesting. I didn't expect there to be a master from the Kunlun Sword Sect here who could break my Netherworld Sect's 'Star Shift'?"
The woman standing on the road spoke calmly.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was very pleasant to listen to.
Like a nightingale singing in a valley, everyone around could hear her voice clearly, as if it were ringing right next to their ears.
Surrounding and enchanting sounds!
If she weren't standing in the middle of the road a hundred meters away, no one would know her location just by hearing her voice.
"Traitor! What brings you here to obstruct me, Your Majesty?" Chen Jie turned to Jian Wuming and shook his head, signaling the other to remain silent.
Next,
He looked up and calmly spoke to the woman a hundred meters away.
It appears that Chen Jie did not use his innate internal energy.
but,
His voice, however, was like a thunderclap, exploding instantly in the air.
Simultaneously,
He used his primordial spirit form to try and see the woman in white clearly.
Unfortunately, the other person's face was covered by a thin veil, making it impossible to see their true appearance.
You can only see her eyes, which give you an indescribable sense of depth.
He is now the Prince of Qian of the Great Qian Dynasty, a high-ranking official in the court, and the leader of the martial arts world.
The opponent unleashed their divine form halfway through, shielding him from the heavenly secrets, clearly intending to ambush and kill him.
Therefore,
Chen Jie referred to the other party as a 'traitor' as if it were perfectly natural.
This is a serious crime of treason.
"Hmph! Traitor!?"
The woman in white snorted coldly.
boom!
As the sound rang out, it was as if a terrifying shockwave had swept through the surrounding area.
Everyone felt a sudden shock, as if their heads were being pierced by needles, as if struck by lightning.
Sonic power!
Unexpectedly, the white-clad woman's voice contained terrifying spiritual power.
This is a sound infused with the power of the primordial spirit and dharma form, creating an extremely powerful destructive force.
"When the mind moves as it wills, the words spoken become law!"
Chen Jie had cultivated the "Taiping Scripture," and with his level of spiritual refinement, his divine sense would naturally not be shaken by the opponent.
but,
At this moment, he, like Jian Wuming, was extremely wary of this woman in white.
A person with profound spiritual cultivation can use their voice to influence the power of heaven and earth; every word and action can exert an endless sense of pressure on others.
This woman's spiritual cultivation has at least broken through to the third stage of the meditation retreat, 'collecting the mind'!
That is,
The white-clad woman before them, whose origins were unknown, was at least a super strong expert at the mid-level of Martial Saint.
Such figures are almost like dragons, rarely seen in the martial arts world.
He may have already retired from the martial arts world!
When one cultivates the Refining Spirit Realm to the third stage of Sitting in Oblivion, 'Gathering the Mind,' the primordial spirit can leave the body and possess another, creating an illusion!
She was only one step away from the truth.
True insight—only by reducing daily activity, calming the body and mind, can one perceive the truth!
This level is the realm of a great sage in martial arts!
Just like the 'Wuji Sword Saint', he belongs to the high-level sword saint!
He uses his primordial spirit to leave his body and possess others, evolving into a sword capable of killing nine people with a single strike. His abilities are unpredictable and impossible to defend against.
"Hmph, this is interesting!"
The woman in white revealed a hint of mockery in her eyes as she spoke to Chen Jie:
"You must be Prince Qian, Chen Jie? Traitor! You're right, to the Great Qian Dynasty, I am a traitor."
"Today I will not only rebel, but I will also kill you! What can you do about it?"
Chen Jie gripped his sword tightly, laughed wildly, and said, "You traveled thousands of miles to Goryeo just to ambush and kill me?"
finished,
His face darkened, and his eyes filled with murderous intent as he said, "What is your status in the Netherworld Sect? You've tried to ambush me. Aren't you afraid of the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, or the extermination of your entire family?"
"To punish the entire family? Hahaha—!"
As the woman in white spoke, the pendant beside her ear jingled melodiously in the wind.
Like a whisper in the wind, it lulls you to sleep.
this moment,
She reacted as if she'd heard the funniest joke in the world, and said dismissively:
"Who established the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty? Here, I am the law!"
Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "How arrogant! Since you are so stubborn, I will tell you today who is the law!"
finished,
He focused his primordial spirit and roared, "Everyone, listen to my command! Today we will capture the traitor of the Netherworld Sect and earn a first-class merit!"
"Once captured, behead them and display their heads outside the city walls of Jinling Prefecture for one hundred days!"
Words become law!
At this moment, Chen Jie also unleashed the power of his primordial spirit dharma form.
"Die!"
Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, the woman in white made no attempt to delay and immediately attacked.
boom--!
In everyone's minds, they quickly felt the surroundings become incredibly cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
at the same time,
Dark clouds reappeared in the sky, the sun set, and the starry sky reappeared, vast and boundless.
However, unlike before, this time the starry sky is not static, but constantly rotating.
It seemed as if the sky had turned into a vortex, sucking everyone's mind into it.
The seasons change, and the world turns upside down!
At that moment, everyone felt dizzy and nauseous.
The whole world began to turn upside down, making everyone feel top-heavy and unsteady, with everyone feeling as if their head was facing down.
Puff-!
The entire Simon Hall guard, along with all the horses around them, suddenly collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious.
Only Chen Jie, Kou Yin, Cao Shaoqing, and Yan Jiuyou remained unmoved by Jian Wuming's presence.
In the illusion of shifting stars, if one's spiritual cultivation level is slightly weak, they can easily be suppressed and faint instantly.
It can disrupt a person's consciousness, causing mental confusion.
Chen Jie had long been able to condense his primordial spirit, and his divine will was unwavering, so he was naturally unafraid of any illusions interfering with him.
Needless to say, Jian Wuming is the sect leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect. With a stable primordial spirit, he would not be deceived by mere illusions.
Kou Yin, Cao Shaoqing, Yan Jiuyou, and the other three were all experts at the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.
Although they were pale, they managed to resist the illusion of the woman in white.
However, judging from their current state, their complexions were not good when they resisted the shifting of stars.
“Chen Jie, the Prince of Qian, I originally thought you were young and wanted to have some fun with you.”
"However, I did not expect your martial arts willpower to be so firm and undisturbed."
"Since you're so clueless about romance, I'll just have to send you to the underworld first."
"Before you die, I want you to die knowing the truth, so you won't be a confused ghost."
"I am the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect, my surname is Meng, and my given name is Lianhua! After you die, when you meet Emperor Li Zheng in the underworld, don't forget to tell him that it was my Netherworld Sect that killed you!"
"The Li family's empire will ultimately be lost! Haha—!"
Just as she burst into laughter, a strong wind suddenly arose around her.
Waaah—!
Chen Jie saw a huge tornado rising up around him.
Dust, leaves, and dry grass on the road were all swept away by the storm.
In less than ten seconds, the dark clouds and dust in the sky intertwined and transformed into a giant net!
A net stretching to the heavens and the earth!
A venomous spider suddenly appeared in the middle of the web, its blood-red mouth wide open.
boom--!
A giant web descended, and poisonous spiders swooped down, devouring and tearing at Chen Jie and Jian Wuming.
This is an illusion formed by the condensation of the primordial spirit's Dharma form!
but,
At this moment, this illusion was not meant to deceive people, but rather it was the true manifestation of the primordial spirit leaving the body to kill without leaving a trace!
A giant web and poisonous spiders, conjured from the sky, swooped down.
It appeared to be formed from tornadoes and dust, but Chen Jie knew very well that it was the condensation of the power of the Dharma Image.
Even a large tree, enveloped by this power of Dharma, will be completely torn apart.
This is the Saintly Origin Domain of a Martial Saint, its power is boundless!
Even with Chen Jie's primordial spirit dharma form at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, he was unable to withstand such terrifying power!
"Brother Sword! Use the God-Devouring Arrow to break her primordial spirit dharma form—!"
Faced with Meng Lianhua's sudden burst of killing intent, Chen Jie shouted at Jian Wuming.
too strong!
Chen Jie finally understood that the other party's attempt to ambush him on the way here was not out of arrogance.
A mid-level Martial Saint possesses formidable combat power.
Whoosh-!
Just as the 'net of heaven and earth' descended from the sky.
Chen Jie stomped his foot, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Eight Desolate Dragon Steps!
Without hesitation, he unleashed the Kunlun's ultimate technique, the "Eight Desolate Dragon Steps," escaping the range of the "Heavenly Net."
His figure vanished in an instant, his speed breaking through all limits at that moment. (End of Chapter)
