Chapter 669
White Hair, Childlike Face! Netherworld Ultimate Technique
Boom! Boom!
The artillery opened fire first, still using a method of full fire coverage.
Five miles away!
More than four thousand mortars launched an attack on Wenxi Manor from four directions.
Shells rained down from the sky, their whistling sound sending chills down everyone's spines.
The powerful shockwave from the explosion completely destroyed the arrow towers, bunkers, and other structures within Wenxi Manor.
Many soldiers hiding in the shadows were killed on the spot before they could even make a sound of being blown up.
In an instant.
The defenses within Wenxi Manor were completely thrown into chaos.
Where have they ever experienced such terrifying tactics?
The surrounding area was filled with artillery shells, and the ground shook violently, as if the entire Wenxi Manor had experienced the most terrifying earthquake.
After firing from all sides, the first round of artillery fire wiped out one-third of the defensive forces of Wenxi Manor.
Everyone else hid in the bunker, too afraid to move.
but,
Just as Chen Jie was about to order the charge,
Boom, boom, boom—!
More than fifty long-range heavy artillery pieces suddenly appeared inside Wenxi Manor.
These long-range heavy artillery pieces were hidden inside the walls and had been suppressed by the firepower of the Ximentang, so they hadn't had time to fire.
After the first round of shelling by Ximentang ended.
Wenxi Manor launched its fiercest counterattack, with heavy cannons with a caliber exceeding 25mm roaring towards the positions of the Ximentang Special Forces Regiment.
After a shell landed, the huge shockwave from the explosion sent an artilleryman flying into the air, landing more than ten meters away.
Although the soldier from Ximentang was wearing a bulletproof vest and a steel helmet.
but,
Even with such a large-caliber heavy artillery, they were still unable to withstand it and died on the spot.
The first counterattack by Wenxi Manor resulted in nearly thirty casualties for Ximentang.
"Damn it—!"
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Jie's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"These are heavy cannons from the Kwantung Army of the Japanese Navy. I never expected that Wenxi Manor would have such things."
He hadn't expected that Wenxi Villa not only contained ordinary Japanese weapons, but also naval cannons.
These naval guns are difficult to transport ashore, and it's unclear how they ended up inside Wenxi Manor.
"How can a mountain villa have such strong firepower? So many heavy artillery pieces!?"
Jian Wuming was taken aback when he saw so many heavy cannons suddenly appear inside Wenxi Manor.
"Snipers, prepare! Take out the heavy artilleryman first!"
Chen Jie snorted coldly, and took the lead, picking up the Barrett sniper rifle from the hand of the person next to him.
One kilometer away.
Bang, bang, bang—!
As the Barrett sniper rifles opened fire, Simon's snipers began their operation.
A precise hunt unfolded approximately one kilometer outside Wenxi Manor.
Screams echoed throughout the entire Wenxi Manor.
Sniper bullets kept piercing the bodies of the heavy artillerymen, and even some of the commanders.
With the loss of heavy artillery counterattacks, the threat within the entire Wenxi Manor was greatly reduced.
At the same time, the pressure on the Ximentang elites responsible for the charge was greatly reduced.
Boom—!
In less than half an hour, Ximentang arrived at the main gate.
The field artillery began to unleash its power, bombarding the gates of Wenxi Manor.
Infantry, heavy machine gunners, snipers, artillery, special operations reconnaissance soldiers, and cavalry!
The troops of the four special operations regiments surged toward Wenxi Manor like a tidal wave.
In less than a minute.
The gate of Wenxi Manor was suddenly blown open.
Led by heavily armored cavalry, the soldiers of Ximentang charged madly inwards with unstoppable momentum.
Wenxi Manor was merely an estate, not a true city.
How could it possibly withstand such a fierce charge from Ximentang?
"I wonder if Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect, is still in Wenxi Manor? She probably hasn't had time to leave yet."
“The timing of our Ximentang's encirclement and suppression was excellent, and the action was swift. Even if she escaped, she certainly wasn't alone.”
Chen Jie rode on the back of a Ferghana horse, following Ximentang's army, and arrived at the entrance of Wenxi Manor.
at this time,
A streak of light flashed across the sky.
hiss--!
Many people looked up and were utterly shocked.
Why did a shooting star suddenly appear in the sky at that moment?
The streak of light turned out to be a long sword, radiating boundless brilliance.
The sword light was sharp and swift as a shooting star!
This sword strike was like a wild horse, galloping towards the gate of the manor, its target being Jian Wuming, who was standing next to Chen Jie.
Qi induction!
Because Jian Wuming exudes the strongest aura.
Therefore,
This sword light was aimed directly at him, determined to kill him!
"careful!"
Jian Wuming had many Ximentang Special Forces commanders around him.
They kept a close eye on their surroundings, even though their martial arts skills were practically nonexistent compared to Jian Wuming.
but,
Even an ordinary person would immediately notice the shooting star that appeared in the sky.
So the commanders of the Ximentang Special Operations Regiment picked up their automatic rifles and opened fire wildly at the flashing swords in the air.
Da da—da da—!
only,
The bullets from the automatic rifle couldn't even touch the sword's light.
too fast!
A sword pierced through the bullet like a meteor.
at this time,
Not far from Jian Wuming, a guard from the Ximentang Special Forces suddenly let out a cold snort.
Then,
With a sword flashing through the air, the guard suddenly wielded a longsword and charged towards the shooting star in the sky.
Clang clang clang—!
A piercing whistling sound came from all around as the two swords clashed fiercely.
"Hmph! The Kunlun Sword Sect's mother and child swords!?"
Just as the Flowing Light Sword descended from the sky, a cold snort rang out.
It was the voice of Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect.
Whoosh-!
The meteor sword light instantly dispersed, landing inside the bodies of several guards around him.
boom!
next moment,
The bodies of these elite guards suddenly trembled.
They seemed to be struggling violently, their faces contorted in agony, and they looked extremely pleased with themselves.
A moment later,
They all turned around, drew their bayonets, and launched a coordinated attack on Jian Wuming.
That's right,
These people were all Chen Jie's personal guards. Unexpectedly, instead of attacking Yi Jian Liu Guang, they started attacking Jian Wuming.
What's even more bizarre is that the expressions of these guards have transformed into those of a woman.
Even the sword techniques they used were very similar to those of Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect.
This scene was extremely eerie and sent chills down one's spine.
"This is the Netherworld Sect's 'Resurrection by Possession'! It's controlled by divine sense, be careful!"
Chen Jie was shocked when he saw this.
He had seen an introduction to this technique in the Imperial Armory, and it was actually very similar to his Buddhist Tantric technique, "telepathy."
Forcibly erase the other party's consciousness with the power of their soul, and then control the other party's sea of consciousness.
Seeing the actions of the guards around him, he knew that Meng Lianhua had used 'resurrection' to control his consciousness.
With just a thought, she could control the bodies of several of her bodyguards.
have to say,
This is an evil practice, despised by people.
It is even more evil and cruel than Chen Jie's 'Bible Spiritual Practice'.
Because once anyone is controlled by her, their consciousness is completely erased.
Even if she no longer controls the other person, the other person is like a walking corpse.
boom!
Just then, Cao Shaoqing, who was standing next to Chen Jie, slapped him with a cotton palm.
Waaah—!
A gust of wind swept through the area, knocking the military daggers out of the hands of the guards who had been restrained.
"You scum from the Kunlun Sword Sect, you managed to withstand one of my sword strikes without dying, so your strength is barely passable."
"However, you shouldn't be associating with people from the Great Qian Dynasty. You're not qualified to compete with me in swordsmanship!"
boom!
A loud sound rang out.
The body of one of the guards exploded instantly.
His flesh and blood were reduced to dust under the impact of the powerful force.
At the same time, a sharp gust of wind swept around, enveloped by countless starlight.
The voice of Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect, echoed around.
The power of a mid-level Martial Saint was on full display at this moment.
Chen Jie knew very well that it was time to leave the most dangerous place.
If they are not careful, Meng Lianhua will break through their encirclement and fight her way out.
With Jian Wuming's strength alone, he was no match for him.
then,
Chen Jie didn't care about anything else; he focused his mind and his primordial spirit left his body.
The power of the primordial spirit instantly condensed on the Sunset Frost Sword.
At this moment, the name of this sword has become—Slaying Saint!
The divine sense and the barrier power contained within the Saint-Slaying Sword merged into one, greatly increasing its power.
Clang!
After the Sword of Slaying Saints flew out, it collided with the longsword of the Holy Maiden Meng Lianhua.
A loud bang was heard, and a storm swept through the surrounding area.
As expected of a mid-level spirit sword.
This sword strike sent Meng Lianhua's longsword flying, and even her condensed sword domain was instantly torn open with a crack.
"On the battlefield, one should not easily leave one's body with one's primordial spirit, otherwise one will easily suffer a backlash!"
Chen Jie's sword strike, condensed with the power of his primordial spirit, instantly repelled the Holy Maiden Meng Lianhua and shattered her sword domain.
but,
He also sensed the crisis at that moment.
The moment the primordial spirit left the body, a monstrous wave surged through the heavens and earth.
Endless killing intent gathered, forming rolling dark clouds above Chen Jie.
If astral projection is a test for a martial artist, it is a test of the concentration of divine will.
Then,
The murderous intent that suddenly arose in the world felt like a punishment.
This is a constraint imposed by the rules of heaven and earth, a shackle on the path of human martial arts.
If the force doesn't reach this constraint, it won't be felt at all.
Fortunately, Chen Jie had already integrated the barrier power within the Sunset Frost Sword, making his primordial spirit power incredibly solid, comparable to that of a true sword saint.
Although his spiritual refinement realm has not yet broken through to the stage of "sitting in oblivion".
but,
When his divine sense merges with the power of the icy barrier, his soul becomes comparable to that of a powerful expert at the third level of the Meditation Realm, capable of resisting the obliteration of the forces of heaven and earth.
Otherwise, if the overall situation on the battlefield were to create a storm, it could easily destroy the primordial spirit he had just condensed.
"I never expected that destroying just one mountain village would gather so much malevolent energy!"
"The bloodlust on the battlefield is too intense, and the killing intent too strong. If it were the battle in Busan, with hundreds of thousands of people fighting, how intense would the bloodlust be?"
"That bloodthirsty power should be able to restore the power of the God-Devouring Arrow soon."
Chen Jie sensed the bloodthirsty aura contained within the grand scheme of things and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
If it weren't for the fusion of his divine sense with the power of the icy barrier within the Sword of Slaying Saints...
I'm afraid his primordial spirit won't last long against such a dense aura of bloodlust, and will soon collapse.
"Hmph! Prince Qian, Chen Jie, I didn't expect you to have actually fused with my Sunset Frost Sword?"
"But you won't get my sword so easily!"
Chen Jie's sword strike, delivered with force, forced Meng Lianhua back.
However, Meng Lianhua was, after all, a mid-level peak Martial Saint, far surpassing Chen Jie in cultivation level.
Therefore,
Even though he gained the upper hand by relying on the power of his sword.
But he was not feeling well at that moment.
of course,
Saintess Meng Lianhua was also in a bad state. Her primordial spirit, which had just recovered, was almost destroyed again by the backlash from Chen Jie's sword.
When she saw that Chen Jie was not injured, she was extremely shocked.
To know,
When Chen Jie unleashed the 'Heavenly Thunder', the power was terrifying.
It's incredible that Chen Jie's primordial spirit remained unharmed under such a terrifying impact.
With the explosive force of the Heavenly Thunder at close range, even a high-level sword saint would find it difficult to escape unscathed.
at this time,
Meng Lianhua did not linger.
With a flick of her wrist, the longsword in her hand unleashed a flurry of sword energy.
Like a spider web, it was surrounded by sword energy.
The sword energy emitted countless starlight, forming a dense, impenetrable net.
Clang clang clang—!
As a sword aura slashed down, the Heavenly Net commanded, immediately enveloping Chen Jie's Saint-Slaying Sword within it.
next moment,
Meng Lianhua exerted force, and the giant net began to tighten, binding Chen Jie's "Slaying Saints, I Love You" and trying to pull it away from Chen Jie's control.
Reclaim the Sunset Frost Sword!
That's right,
At this moment, Meng Lianhua wanted to take back the Sunset Frost Sword.
This is a mid-grade spirit sword, containing terrifying power. It is the treasure of the Netherworld Sect. How can we allow Chen Jie to take it away?
When she saw Chen Jie unleash the Sunset Frost Sword, her first thought was that she had to take it back.
"Such powerful sword energy!"
Chen Jie finally experienced firsthand the power of a mid-level Martial Saint.
It was obvious that the opponent was using the power of their primordial spirit to condense their starlight sword intent.
Just like how Chen Jie condensed his own 'Indestructible Vajra Moon Essence Body' using the moon's essence.
This is the application of the power of the primordial spirit, a profound secret of a cultivation technique.
The power of the primordial spirit manifests in unpredictable ways.
What shocked Chen Jie even more was that the bloodthirsty aura condensing on the surrounding battlefield was being continuously fused and refined by Meng Lianhua's sword domain.
The aura of bloodlust grew increasingly intense, even churning like dark clouds.
but,
Meng Lianhua's primordial spirit power remained completely unaffected.
Despite such terrifying pressure, she continuously refined and absorbed the surrounding天地之势 (heaven and earth forces).
"burst!"
Chen Jie felt as if his primordial spirit was imprisoned.
The net formed by that sword energy trapped him.
It was extremely difficult for the Sword of Slaying Saints to operate, as it was being suppressed by a powerful force.
then,
He didn't have time to think it through; his aura solidified, and all his power erupted at that moment.
boom!
He used the power of burning his life potential and the power of the barrier within the Holy Sword.
A phantom image resembling a divine dragon appeared.
A sword strike without a thought!
This sword saint technique instantly tore through the spiderweb-like net, breaking free from its restraints.
"Hmph! An ant is just an ant. Even if you borrow the power of the ice barrier from the Sunset Ice Sword, you still can't contend with my power!"
"Your level is too low, kid!"
"Today I'll show you what the Netherworld Sect's ultimate technique truly is!"
"The secret technique of 'rejuvenation' of Meng Tuo, the number one expert of the Divine Sect, will once again make him famous throughout the world starting today!"
"Ha ha ha ha--!"
As Chen Jie broke free from the spiderweb-like sword domain, Meng Lianhua's silvery, cold laughter echoed around him.
The net that Chen Jie had just torn apart actually reformed itself.
boom--!
Next, the sword domain condensed and transformed into the shape of a child.
Her clothes, demeanor, expression, and even her figure were exactly the same as Meng Lianhua's.
only,
The figure she transformed into had gray hair.
That's right,
Originally, her hair was black, but the miniature human figure created by her primordial spirit had turned white hair.
White hair and a youthful face!
hum!
When Chen Jie saw the other party's strange scene, his mind went blank for a moment, and he suddenly remembered Tian Jiu Miao Feng!
Miao Feng also practiced evil arts, which caused her to become a white-haired, youthful-looking person.
Although Miao Feng's martial arts level was only at the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation Realm and had not yet broken through to the late-stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, he was unable to condense his primordial spirit.
However, the cultivation method she practiced was remarkably similar to that of the Holy Maiden Meng Lianhua.
Could it be—
Is Miao Feng practicing the Netherworld Sect's techniques? (End of Chapter)
