Chapter 679

Nine Swords Deadly Strike! Difficult to Break Through the Divine Refinement Barrier

boom!
Faced with overwhelming and terrifying pressure, Chen Jie remained unmoved.

Clang!
With a single, swift strike, his momentum was overwhelming.

He swung the Saint-Slaying Sword in mid-air.

Strands of sword energy swept out from the longsword, condensing into a sword dao dharma image.

This is the powerful condensation of primordial spirit power, manifested as dragon might.

Awoo!

Each time the sword energy was unleashed, the air seemed to be completely shattered.

In an instant.

The surroundings seemed to be caught in a series of whirlpools, and the dark clouds in the sky began to churn constantly, as if a large hole had been pierced through by a sword.

The immense pressure that Miyamoto Musashi had been accumulating was cleaved open by this sword strike, as if a gap had been opened for its release.

As the sword continued to slash, the pressure from heaven and earth that Chen Jie felt gradually weakened.

"Ok?"

Miyamoto Musashi exclaimed in surprise.

The domineering sword intent unleashed by Chen Jie, and the terrifying power of his primordial spirit, clearly exceeded Miyamoto Musashi's expectations.

It even exceeded the range of the overwhelming pressure of heaven and earth that he had gathered.

"Die!"

The greatest swordsman of the Orient raised his head and let out a fierce roar.

He darted to the side, his body shifting to the side.

In the blink of an eye,
He had already appeared hundreds of meters away, far away from the range of Chen Jie's sword energy.

Swish!
The moment he stopped, a piece of clothing appeared in his hand.

original,

Just now, he managed to distance himself from Chen Jie's sword energy by using the outer garment he was waving in his hand to block it.

Judging from Miyamoto Musashi's action of waving his outer garment to block the sword energy, he did not practice any external protective techniques.

His swordsmanship is very strong, even ridiculously so.

However, it is clear that his defense is not strong.

Even compared to Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect, Miyamoto Musashi's protective aura was slightly inferior.

at this time,

The outer garment in Miyamoto Musashi's hand was torn to shreds by the sword's energy.

This shows just how terrifying the sword technique Chen Jie displayed was.

Even when Miyamoto Musashi was within Chen Jie's sword domain, he had to avoid his attacks.

One sword can shatter all laws!

The principle is simple, but it is the most efficient.

boom!
Just then, a sword shadow suddenly appeared in the void and slashed down towards Chen Jie's neck.

Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
This sword strike was silent and stealthy; even with Chen Jie's divine sense, he couldn't detect its location.

If this sword were to strike the neck...

Even with Chen Jie's already fully refined 'Diamond Moon Undying Body', he would probably still be killed by a single sword strike, his head separated from his body.

No one could withstand Miyamoto Musashi's sword strike.

but,

Faced with Miyamoto Musashi's sword strike from the void, Chen Jie's arm suddenly trembled.

The sword strike that was originally unleashed instantly reversed its momentum, transforming into a sword formation.

Nine Swords Annihilation Formation!
This sword formation's killing move was not learned from the Kunlun Sword Sect, but from the legacy of the Dragon Slayer Saint Lord.

Compared to the sword formation of the Kunlun Sword Sect, this sword formation is far more powerful.

of course,

Although the Nine Swords Annihilation Formation is very powerful, it is also obscure and difficult to understand. It is extremely difficult to comprehend it thoroughly.

This is the most powerful sword formation killing move among the inheritances Chen Jie received.

Although it is slightly different from the Nine Swords Killing Formation used by the Dragon Slayer Saint Lord.

But what suits you best is the best.

Chen Jie incorporated his own unique features into the Nine Swords Killing Formation and made improvements upon it.

From the power it displays at this moment, one can clearly feel that this sword formation's killing move is already the most suitable martial art for him.

in fact,

Any swordsman at the level of a master will use martial arts techniques that are compatible with their own cultivation methods.

You could even say that every move must have its own martial arts principles.

The sword shadow that slashed out from the void circled halfway in the air.

It was as if this sword had acquired a spirit, trying to find the defensive flaws exposed in Chen Jie's body.

but,

Miyamoto Musashi quickly realized that after Chen Jie unleashed the Nine Swords Deadly Formation...

Nine sword shadows appeared around him, protecting him. Chen Jie's body became like an impenetrable fortress.

His external martial arts form merged seamlessly with the Nine Swords Killing Formation, leaving no flaw whatsoever.

Chen Jie was completely enveloped in the protection of the Nine Swords Annihilation Formation.

Using the Nine Swords Killing Formation to kill an opponent may not be the most powerful method.

but,

If this sword formation were used for defense, it would definitely be considered the most powerful defensive method.

The sword shadow in the void hovered in the air for a moment.

At last,
In the end, it still tried to kill with a single sword strike, attempting to break through Chen Jie's Nine Swords Killing Formation.

Since we can't find any weaknesses, let's just go for the kill.

Clang!
A tremendous sound echoed throughout the surrounding area.

Miyamoto Musashi's Japanese samurai sword clashed fiercely with Chen Jie's Saint-Slaying Sword.

Chen Jie's Nine Swords Killing Formation did not require nine heavy black iron swords like Jian Wuming's.

His nine deadly swords were all transformed from the Saint-Slaying Sword.

at this time,

As Miyamoto Musashi's katana slashed down, Chen Jie's Saint-Slaying Sword seemed to have been waiting for it for a long time.

Miyamoto Musashi was so frustrated he almost vomited blood, and his face turned extremely ugly.

His sword strike just now was a full-force attack, without any reservations, and he was determined to win.

but,

Under Chen Jie's tight defense, they clashed head-on with swords, and neither side gained the upper hand.

In other words, he gained absolutely no advantage with that sword strike.

He's a high-level swordsman, what discerning eyes he has!

At that moment, he could see the problem with just one glance.

Chen Jie's swordsmanship is based on two completely different lineages of swordsmanship.

What I just used was the Ultimate Sword Art, but the Nine Swords Annihilation Formation is a different sword art lineage.

Two completely different sword styles were able to merge together and unleash such terrifying combat power.

Undoubtedly, both of these sword styles belong to the level of sword saints.

hiss--!
Miyamoto Musashi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He was utterly astonished. Who exactly was this young man who had suddenly appeared in the last three years?

He not only built the most powerful army in the Great Qian Dynasty, but also broke through to the level of Sword Saint in martial arts within three years.

What's even more terrifying is that this kid has mastered two different sword-making traditions.

If it was just ordinary learning, then it wouldn't be surprising to Miyamoto Musashi.

Chen Jie not only learned two styles of swordsmanship, but also mastered the essence of swordsmanship.

This is quite shocking, simply unbelievable.

this moment,
He had serious doubts about Chen Jie's age, background, and so on.

The level of martial arts can be improved by taking elixirs to stimulate the body's potential, or by methods such as initiation.

Although breaking through to a higher level of martial arts is very difficult.

but,

There are still some rare and precious medicinal herbs in this world that can make a person's martial arts level advance by leaps and bounds.

However, there are almost no shortcuts to breaking through the Refining Spirit Realm, including the comprehension of martial arts.

Martial arts are easy to cultivate, but gods are hard to break!
Aside from those martial arts prodigies who are rare even once in several centuries, the only way to break through the Refining Spirit Realm is through continuous comprehension and arduous practice.

Only by integrating the essence of martial arts power generation with divine thought can one truly achieve the unity of martial arts and transcend the ordinary to become a saint.

The two sword techniques that Chen Jie just unleashed had both reached a level of complete mastery.

His understanding and skillful use of martial arts were no less than those achieved through a century of arduous training.

Therefore,
Miyamoto Musashi was deeply shocked. Even as the greatest swordsman in the East, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

Chen Jie's Saint-Slaying Sword clashed with the opponent's katana. His leg bent, and he stomped down suddenly.

This extremely clever move instantly transmitted the power of Miyamoto Musashi's sword strike to the surface of the sea.

Then,

His innate qi surged, and a surging power rebounded from the sea and flowed into his legs.

Chen Jie's legs trembled, and a powerful force erupted from his body's acupoints.

In an instant, the power coalesced and burst forth through the Saint-Slaying Sword in his hand.

Clang!
A sword's cry echoed throughout the surrounding area.

The sound was muffled and oppressive, like an explosion underwater, giving one a suffocating feeling.

Miyamoto Musashi's eyes widened suddenly as two terrifying forces collided without any fancy moves.

boom!
The seawater burst open instantly, sending sprays hundreds of meters high! (End of Chapter)
