Chapter 664
Obtaining the Mid-Tier Spirit Sword Sunset Frost!
"Meng Lianhua! Your primordial spirit has been injured. Today I will kill you to avenge Prince Qian!"
Jian Wuming roared, his anger reaching the heavens.
The Kunlun Sword Sect is acting in accordance with the will of Heaven. All of today's arrangements were made after the sect's Grand Elder had calculated the secrets of Heaven.
The Broken Army appears, the Holy Star emerges!
The upheaval at the Martial Saint Sect will once again descend upon the mortal realm.
Bloodshed engulfs the Great Qian Dynasty, but only Prince Chen Jie can turn the tide.
Therefore,
As the sect leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect, Jian Wuming personally followed Chen Jie to protect his safety.
As long as the sacred star shines, Kunlun will forever prosper!
Upon witnessing the intense explosion, Jian Wuming felt a buzzing in his mind, and went mad.
He knew that with such a terrifying explosion, Qianwang Chen Jie's primordial spirit would probably be completely shattered.
"I originally came to protect him, but in the end, he ended up protecting me!"
Jian Wuming was filled with guilt.
Overlord puts on the bow!
At this moment, Jian Wuming channeled all his anger into the God-Devouring Arrow in his hand, which was on the verge of extinguishing its remaining soul.
Whoosh!
The God-Devouring Arrow flew towards the Holy Maiden Meng Lianhua like a shooting star.
"Hmph! I didn't expect you to have such a terrifying weapon, but Prince Qian, Chen Jie, was ultimately blown up!"
"He wants to die with me? Does he deserve it?"
Facing Jian Wuming's furious arrow, Meng Lianhua snorted coldly.
She threw the Wuji Sword, which she had just snatched from Chen Jie, at the God-Devouring Arrow that Jian Wuming had shot.
boom!
A loud crash was heard.
The Boundless Sword struck the God-Devouring Arrow with perfect precision.
The immense impact deflected the God-Devouring Arrow by a foot.
Whoosh-!
Next, Meng Lianhua's figure flashed.
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the forest.
She was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from everyone's sight, as if she had never existed.
The combat power of a mid-level Martial Saint completely overturned the perceptions of everyone else around him.
"Ah! Trying to run away—today, I, Jian Wuming, am sworn enemies with the Netherworld Sect!"
How could Jian Wuming let her escape like that?
He exerted force with his feet, pushing the Eight Desolate Dragon Steps movement technique to its limit, and chased after Meng Lianhua.
The nine black iron swords on his back resembled a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Nine swords rang out in unison!
The Kunlun Sword Formation appeared instantly, attempting to block Meng Lianhua's escape route.
at the same time,
He fired the God-Devouring Arrow, which still had a little power left, at Meng Lianhua's back.
Suddenly, a dagger flew out from Meng Lianhua's body and slammed into the God-Devouring Arrow.
She acted as if she hadn't seen Jian Wuming's nine Xuan Tie heavy swords.
Clang!
A metallic clang rang out.
The God-Devouring Arrow and the dagger collided and fell to the ground.
The vengeful spirits contained within the God-Devouring Arrow were finally exhausted at this moment, losing their power.
Meng Lianhua looked badly injured and, disregarding everything else, turned and fled.
Whoosh—whoosh—!
Her figure moved like a ghost, constantly flitting through the woods.
A moment later, she disappeared from sight.
Where in the entire forest could she be found?
A few minutes later.
Jian Wuming felt extremely guilty and didn't know what to do next.
The explosion was so powerful that he thought Prince Qian, Chen Jie, should have been blown to pieces.
"Has Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect, become so powerful?"
"Her soul and realm are only one step away from breaking through to the high-level Martial Saint."
Jian Wuming picked up the God-Devouring Arrow and the Limitless Sword from the ground and looked up in the direction Meng Lianhua had left.
at this time,
Chen Jie emerged unhurriedly from the nearby woods.
"Prince Qian, you—!"
Jian Wuming was taken aback when he saw Chen Jie's figure.
Prince Qian is still alive!
Chen Jie walked over, his face pale and looking unwell.
Although he ran fast and was not injured when the explosion happened, it still made his mind feel very uncomfortable.
In his hand, he held Meng Lianhua's Sunset Frost Sword, which he had lost control of.
"The primordial spirit of Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect, which was attached to the sword, was blasted to ashes by the Heavenly Thunder just now."
“Even if her Spirit Refinement Realm was only one step away from entering the ‘True Observation’ stage, she has probably lost her cultivation level now and will never be able to take that step again.”
"If I ever see her again, I will kill her!"
Chen Jie took a deep breath and looked at the Sunset Frost Sword in his hand.
This sword truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure; it remained completely undamaged even amidst the terrifying explosion of the Heavenly Thunder.
I don't know what material it's made of.
"Brother Jian, what kind of sword is this?" Chen Jie looked up at Jian Wuming and asked with a puzzled expression.
Jian Wuming looked at the sword in Chen Jie's hand, examined it carefully for a moment, and then said, word by word:
"It really is the Sunset Frost Sword! This is an ice core formed in the heart of the Arctic region beneath the glaciers of Kitagawa."
"This ice core is an unknown material, and no weapon can move it in the slightest."
"It is said that this ice core has existed for hundreds of millions of years. A person's divine thoughts can reside in it, which can nourish the primordial spirit and allow the primordial spirit to contain the power of ice."
"This sword is a mid-grade spiritual sword, the Sunset Frost Sword of Meng Tuo, the first master of the Taoist Divine Sect a thousand years ago."
"A thousand years ago, Emperor Taizu Li Chengqian of the Great Qian Dynasty and Meng Tuo, the number one expert of the Shenzong Emperor, fought a decisive battle on the top of the Great Wall. The two fought for a day and a night."
"In the end, Emperor Taizu Li Chengqian won one move, Meng Tuo disappeared without a trace, and the Sunset Frost Sword also vanished from the martial world."
"I never expected that this mid-grade spirit sword would fall into the hands of Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect."
Kunlun Sword Sect is a sacred place in the martial arts world, and it also has a sword tomb.
As the sect leader, Jian Wuming naturally knew all the famous swords in the world like the back of his hand.
"This Sunset Frost Sword actually has such a glorious history?"
Chen Jie held the Sunset Frost Sword, which appeared ordinary on the surface but possessed a transparent, icy quality, and was filled with surprise.
He was deeply moved when he learned that the owner of the sword had actually fought against Li Chengqian, the founding emperor of the Daqian Dynasty.
After several years of investigation and understanding.
Chen Jie was certain of one thing: the Great Qian Dynasty's founding emperor, Li Chengqian, whom he had never met, was a time traveler, just like himself.
However, many things about Li Chengqian, the founding emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, have been completely sealed away.
Even within the royal family, very little was known about his deeds.
Holding the Sunset Frost Sword in his hand, Chen Jie felt as if the sword was connected to his primordial spirit by blood.
It's amazing!
It's as if one's own spirit can merge into this sword, making it a part of one's body.
He had the same feeling when he merged his primordial spirit into the Wuji Sword.
When the Wuji Sword was reforged, extraterrestrial meteorites were added, but the feeling of fusion was very vague.
The sense of immersion he feels with the Sunset Frost Sword now is completely different.
He didn't even need to let his soul leave his body; he could feel this blood connection simply by touching his hands.
Could this be—a mid-tier spirit sword?
Do not know why,
He could sense a person's emotions from this sword, and even felt that it was a living person with its own thoughts, breath, and pulse.
Possessing both swordsmanship and intelligence!
Indeed, Chen Jie himself couldn't explain why he had this feeling.
He felt that the sword was like a soul hidden inside.
This soul was like a child, and it was able to resonate with me.
It seems that one's own joys and sorrows can be manifested in it.
Om-!
The next moment, the Sunset Frost Sword flew into the air and automatically unsheathed itself. It didn't require Chen Jie's divine sense to control it at all; he only needed to communicate with it, and it seemed that he could kill enemies in mid-air.
"Back then, this Sunset Frost Sword was known as the National Guardian Sword, a rare and precious treasure from the Frost Polar Regions."
"Not only did the Netherworld Sect acquire most of Shaolin's inheritance hundreds of years ago, but now it also possesses the sword of Meng Tuo, the strongest expert in the Divine Sect."
"This shows that the Netherworld Sect is no ordinary sect!"
"Since many of Shaolin's traditions have fallen into the hands of the Netherworld Sect, it is conceivable that many of the Divine Sect's traditions have also fallen into the hands of the Netherworld Sect."
Jian Wuming didn't think much of the Shaolin Temple's legacy.
but,
When the topic turned to the lineage of the Divine Sect, Jian Wuming's expression became extremely solemn.
"By the way! Prince Qian, are you alright?"
The explosive power of the Heavenly Thunder was so strong that Jian Wuming almost thought Chen Jie was dead.
Remembering this, I asked with concern.
"My primordial spirit is injured, and my mind is throbbing with pain. I need to find a place to rest."
"However, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect had her primordial spirit shattered by the explosion and was severely injured. Even though her Refining Spirit Realm is higher, she is now at her last gasp."
"What I'm worried about now is that the Japanese man Miyamoto Musashi might take advantage of my mental injury to ambush and kill us!"
"Never underestimate the despicable nature of the Japanese. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals and will not care about the decisive battle a few days later. They may very well strike ahead of time."
Cough cough—cough cough—!
As Chen Jie spoke, his face turned pale, and he coughed repeatedly.
-
Gid, giddy, giddy—!
Just as Chen Jie was coughing.
Suddenly, squads of soldiers appeared on the distant road.
The man at the very front rode a warhorse, wearing a steel helmet and bulletproof vest. He carried a replica AK47 assault rifle on his back, grenades at his waist, and binoculars around his neck.
Behind the cavalry followed heavily armed, well-trained elite soldiers.
"My lord, your subordinate is late in protecting you, please punish me!"
The general at the very front of the warhorse leaped off and knelt directly in front of Chen Jie.
Whoosh—!
next moment,
The surrounding soldiers all gathered around.
They isolated Chen Jie from everyone around him, and then implemented a five-layered blockade.
Within a 20-meter radius around Chen Jie, it was like an impenetrable wall.
All the elite soldiers were armed with assault rifles, and some even set up heavy machine guns around Chen Jie.
In less than three minutes, the protective level around Chen Jie was raised to the maximum.
The tactics and training displayed by these elite soldiers were far superior to those of ordinary soldiers.
With a reference point, there can be a comparison!
At this moment, it is very clear that Yan Jiuyou's previous followers are no different from scattered soldiers in front of these elite troops.
Although the members of the Nine Nether Sect are individually very strong in martial arts.
However, when it comes to coordinated combat, they are not even in the same league as these elite soldiers.
"Yunfeng, you've finally arrived!"
Chen Jie felt a little relieved when he saw the Ximentang Special Forces Regiment arrive.
Although the Ximentang Special Forces are not very useful against experts at the level of "Seeing Gods Without Destruction".
but,
Once the Ximentang Special Forces arrive, it means that the surrounding area will be under Ximentang's control.
All the assassination masters below the Divine Indestructible Realm who wanted to kill Chen Jie could not break through the outer defenses.
Even Saint-level experts would be extremely cautious when facing the Ximentang Special Forces.
because,
Even a Saint-level expert, if injured, could be seriously wounded or even killed under the artillery fire of the special forces regiment.
Just like Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect, once she is injured and surrounded by the Ximen Hall Special Forces, she will be in great danger.
Chen Jie felt much more relaxed after seeing the arrival of the Ximen Hall elites who were there to meet him.
After kowtowing to Chen Jie, Yun Feng, the commander of the special operations regiment, began to communicate with his personal guards, trying to find out what had just happened.
"Just now, the Qian King was intercepted and killed by experts from the Netherworld Sect, but we repelled him."
"Prince Qian is injured. Please arrange a place for him to rest immediately."
Jian Wuming said to Yunfeng.
In the past, he probably would have rarely spoken to someone whose martial arts level was only Iron Bone Dark Force, on an equal footing.
but,
His current posture is incredibly humble, which seems unbelievable.
To know,
Jian Wuming was the sect leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect and a true sword saint.
Upon hearing Jian Wuming's respect for his lord, Kou Yin and Cao Shaoqing couldn't help but exchange a glance.
They thought to themselves, "This sect leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect has changed so much. Could it be that he is truly willing to serve as our lord's bodyguard?"
"Yes!"
Yunfeng was shocked when he heard that Chen Jie was injured.
He quickly shouted to the people behind him, "Quickly, prepare the carriage and escort our lord to Lishan County."
Whoosh—!
All the elite troops of the special operations regiment obeyed the order and lined up in formation.
In less than a minute, the special operations regiment had already formed a spearhead formation and was advancing.
On the way back to the city, they protected Chen Jie in the middle, forming a nine-fold protection.
The scouts at the front maintained a range of several kilometers, constantly checking the surrounding area.
At the slightest sign of trouble, they will immediately fire warning shots.
Do not know why,
When they saw the combat power and military might displayed by the Ximentang Special Forces Regiment, the expressions of the three leaders of the Jiuyou Sect changed.
Although they were the leaders of the Nine Nether Sect and possessed high martial arts skills, they lived a life of constant danger.
but,
They only know how to bravely kill the enemy; when war breaks out, they charge forward without thinking, and they advocate individualism.
They don't understand tactics and battle formations at all.
Seeing the imposing military bearing and fierce killing intent of the Ximentang Special Operations Regiment at this moment, I was struck by their presence.
This military might, capable of shaking the very fabric of the world with the power of a team, sent shivers down the spines of Yan Jiuyou and the other two.
Although with their martial arts skills, they could easily kill hundreds of people in a one-on-one fight.
but,
The Ximentang Special Forces Regiment's formation, military might, and perfectly synchronized steps exerted an immense sense of pressure on them.
If the two sides go to war
They really weren't confident they could escape from the encirclement of several thousand special operations troops.
"Truly worthy of being called the mighty army of the Great Qian Dynasty!"
Yan Jiuyou sighed inwardly, feeling a surge of excitement at the thought of having pledged allegiance to Prince Qian and serving under him.
but,
Thinking of Ximentang's elite troops, it seems that each of them is no ordinary person.
Can the three of us stand firm by Prince Qian's side?
Thinking about the future, a sense of heaviness settled over them. (End of Chapter)
