Chapter 680

Dual Sword Style! A Single Slash Across the Waves

The clash of innate qi yielded an unbelievable result for Miyamoto Musashi.

too strong!
A suffocating power emanated from the Sword of Slaying Saints, far exceeding his expectations.

The key is,
This innate qi possesses the attribute of fire and contains pure yang power.

The two people's innate qi seemed to be mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining.

Whoever has stronger innate internal energy can restrain the other.

Whoosh!
Startled, Miyamoto Musashi staggered backward.

His feet touched the water's surface, as if he were walking on water, and he sped across the sea.

Each step created a storm on the water's surface, which continued to spread outwards.

In the blink of an eye,
He had already stepped hundreds of meters across the water.

Chen Jie activated the power of the Frost Barrier with the Slaying Saint Sword, a super-powerful force that could almost shake the heavens and earth, yet Miyamoto Musashi neutralized it in such a bizarre way.

"Yo-ho! Young man, you are worthy to be my opponent."

Miyamoto Musashi looked up at Chen Jie and said in a deep voice.

But to be honest
He simply couldn't understand how a martial artist who had only been famous for less than three years could become so strong.

Even if one obtained the supreme inheritance of the Sword Saint, it would be impossible to cultivate such powerful innate qi in such a short period of time.

This power, which combines the primordial spirit and internal energy, is actually no less than his century-long cultivation.

this moment,
A sense of unknown horror finally crept into Miyamoto Musashi's heart.

He actually felt that he couldn't defeat Chen Jie, and his unwavering belief in invincibility wavered at that moment.

call!
Chen Jie gripped the Saint-Slaying Sword tightly and took a deep breath.

this moment,
He clearly sensed that Miyamoto Musashi's aura seemed to plummet instantly.

The overwhelming power of heaven and earth dissipated instantly as Miyamoto Musashi retreated.

This effortless control caught Chen Jie off guard.

The moment Miyamoto Musashi retreated, Chen Jie's fighting spirit surged, and his primordial spirit power reached its limit.

"Die!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Jie let out a fierce roar.

He stomped his foot and flashed away.

next moment,
He transformed into a bolt of lightning, pushing his speed to its limit.

He pounced on his opponent with a speed no less than that of Miyamoto Musashi.

Clang!
A single sword's chilling light pierces nineteen provinces!

His feet trod on the sea as if walking on flat ground, as if he were constantly flashing across the water.

This flickering appearance gave the impression of a tornado sweeping across the sea, with a massive storm engulfing the surroundings.

Chen Jie thus condensed into a powerful force of heaven and earth, like a tornado, and instantly flew forward hundreds of meters.

With astonishing speed and overwhelming spiritual power, he instantly sealed off all of Miyamoto Musashi's escape routes.

This is a life-or-death battle; neither side has any way out.

Therefore,
Neither of them held back, unleashing their full fighting power at all costs.

In order to push his combat power to the limit, Chen Jie decisively consumed the essence of five bottles of 'Death Flower', completely burning his life potential.

Simultaneously,

After merging his divine sense with the icy barrier within the Sword of Slaying Saints, he unleashed the Sword Saint Technique once again.

However, this time, the Sword Saint Technique was not a direct confrontation with Miyamoto Musashi, but rather a terrifying attack formed by extremely fast assassination.

A single sword's chilling light pierces nineteen provinces!

This is the fastest move among the Sword Saint's techniques, like a bolt of lightning, gone in an instant.

Under the sword of the Wuji Sword Saint, the Sword Saint's technique of "One Sword's Cold Light Across Nineteen Provinces" was just an ordinary sword move.

but,

After Chen Jie's continuous improvements, and by fusing the power of the primordial spirit and the power of the ice barrier together,

This sword saint technique now possesses an added powerful binding force.

Therefore,
At this moment, Chen Jie unleashed this Sword Saint Technique, which was incredibly powerful. It was able to withstand Miyamoto Musashi's attack and block his retreat.

An incomparably domineering innate qi erupted from this sword strike.

That explosive aura stirred up the forces of heaven and earth, instantly locking onto Miyamoto Musashi.

Like a net spread across the sky, this sword strike actually contained the sword intent of Meng Lianhua, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld Sect.

With a single sword strike, Miyamoto Musashi was bound by sword energy like a spider web, rendering him unable to move.

A net stretching to the heavens and the earth!

This is a sword net that can only be formed through continuous bursts of power, like "a single sword gleaming across nineteen provinces." Hiss—!
Miyamoto Musashi couldn't help but gasp, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes.

this moment,
He was deeply shocked and felt a sense of disbelief.

From the sword strike Chen Jie unleashed just now, he had confirmed that Chen Jie's innate qi belonged to the fire attribute.

The two men's internal energy was mutually restraining, making them evenly matched.

but,

At this moment, Chen Jie unleashed a Heavenly Net, which contained innate earth-attribute qi.

Indestructible, immovable as a mountain!
How could the innate earth elemental energy possibly merge with the fire elemental energy?

and,

He could sense the innate qi of ice attribute in Chen Jie's swordplay.

Ice is cold, metal is sharp, fire is intense, earth is heavy, water is soft, and wood is supple!
Several distinct innate qi auras appeared simultaneously on Chen Jie's body.

What the hell is going on here?

The key is,
Chen Jie's innate internal energy merged seamlessly and perfectly.

Do not know why,

Miyamoto Musashi felt a surge of admiration, even a sense of indescribable powerlessness.

Judging solely from the fusion of true qi, Chen Jie's martial arts talent has already surpassed his.

To know,
Miyamoto Musashi always had a high opinion of himself and looked down on everyone.

He believed his martial arts talent was unparalleled.

When Miyamoto Musashi realized that Chen Jie's martial arts talent surpassed his own, how could he not feel a sense of discouragement?

but,

He was, after all, the greatest swordsman in the East, a sword saint of unparalleled skill.

He experienced countless life-and-death battles throughout his life.

call--!
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Now that they knew Chen Jie's sword strike, Heavenly Net, had trapped the surrounding space, making it impossible to avoid,

Then,

He could only put aside all thoughts in his mind and push his combat power to the limit, unleashing three consecutive slashes.

Dual-wielding style – cutting through the wind and waves with a single slash!
His three strikes were delivered one after another.

Each strike contained the terrifying power of a sword saint, creating a surging and overwhelming force that impacted the heavens and earth.

When Miyamoto Musashi clashed head-on with Chen Jie's Saint-Slaying Sword, he was forced to retreat more than ten meters.

After his second strike clashed head-on with the Saint-Slaying Sword, he retreated another ten meters, widening the distance between himself and Chen Jie.

After his third strike clashed head-on with the Saint-Slaying Sword, his body flew out instantly like an arrow released from a bow, actually breaking through Chen Jie's inescapable net.

Swish!
Chen Jie stamped his foot and stopped the pursuit.

It wasn't that he didn't want to pursue, or that he didn't want to imprison his opponent with another sword strike.

However, Miyamoto Musashi's three sword strikes were too powerful; the power and momentum of each strike were superimposed.

The moment he unleashed his third strike, he concentrated that power to its limit.

Even though Chen Jie had gained the upper hand, he had no choice but to stop his attack.

boom!
He used the seawater beneath his feet to create a vortex, thus neutralizing the extremely strong recoil force.

at this time,

Chen Jie was full of heroic spirit. His ability to force Miyamoto Musashi back with a single sword strike meant that he possessed the combat power to kill his opponent.

However, looking up at Miyamoto Musashi who was flying away, Chen Jie felt a surge of emotion.

As expected of a high-level sword saint, he's too difficult to kill.

Suppressing the opponent is easy, but killing them is incredibly difficult.

In the previous confrontation, Chen Jie did not choose to engage in a head-on attack, but instead adopted a defensive counter-attack strategy, using stillness to control movement.

When Miyamoto Musashi launches his most ferocious attack, he will unleash his most domineering counterattack if a weakness appears in his offensive.

He merged his divine sense with the Saint-Slaying Sword and burned his life potential infinitely to unleash his strongest attack.

Once Miyamoto Musashi is imprisoned by the Heavenly Net, his strongest sword saint technique—the Slash Line—will be unleashed.

Unfortunately, at the most crucial moment, Miyamoto Musashi easily deflected Chen Jie's deadly attack with three strikes.

The combat power of a high-level sword saint is extraordinary!
To kill a high-level sword saint, you need the right time and place!
but,

What Chen Jie didn't know was that Miyamoto Musashi's inner turmoil and inner conflict far exceeded his own.

He never imagined that he, a dignified high-level sword saint, would be forced into a series of defeats by a martial artist who had just entered the saint realm. (End of this chapter)
