Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1573 - 361: Half-step Melting God Is Nothing Special

In an instant, a horrifying sword beam hurtled straight at Chen Jie.

Startled, Chen Jie hurriedly pulled back, while Chang Xuzi and his group pursued relentlessly.

Chen Jie spun around to run, yet his Zhu Rong Divine Fire Palm continued racing toward Elder Hua and Elder Shu. Right before it could hit them, a shadowy form suddenly stepped in their way, unleashing a savage saber glow that clashed head-on with the Zhu Rong Divine Fire Palm.

One swift chop—swish—it cleaved Chen Jie's palm strike right down the middle!

Chen Jie's eyes bulged at the sight. That saber strike was utterly overbearing.

Chen Jie realized it was none other than Overlord Blade Qi Chun of King Qi Residence, bursting out from the haze.

Qi Chun materialized right in front of Chen Jie, exuding an aura of unchallenged supremacy. In that instant, his gaze shifted toward Chen Jiusi.

Chen Jie had been attempting to flee, but suddenly he sensed peril in his path and leaped aside without hesitation.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Seconds later, a barrage of concealed steel needles materialized exactly where Chen Jie was bound, sealing off his escape route.

"Tang Sect!"

Upon spotting those secret weapons, Chen Jie's features twisted in fury, his killing aura surging. The Tang Sect had joined the fray—truly, the realm's greatest warriors had assembled here, all poised to take him down.

Chen Jie's mind raced, his face growing darker by the moment.

At the same time, a voice rang out: "Hehe, Chen Jiusi, long time no see."

Chen Jie whipped his head toward the sound and spotted Ming Yuzhen, who regarded him with a taunting smirk.

Chen Jie backed away a step, maneuvering for a breakout, only for another figure to abruptly cut off his way.

"Hehe, allow me to introduce myself, I am Tang Feng."

The arrival eyed Chen Jie with a mischievous grin, his expression brimming with amusement.

This was indeed the Tang Sect’s Second Master.

He was also the current Tang Sect Leader, the brother of Master Tang Tong.

"Chen Jiusi, today you’re trapped, better surrender!"

Chang Xuzi reached the scene as well, boxing Chen Jie in from all sides. Overlord Blade Qi Chun advanced a couple of paces and addressed him: "You’re Chen Jiusi, right? The Prince speaks highly of you in the Evaluation."

"Today, I must have a proper encounter with you."

After those words, Chen Jie knitted his brows, scanning the encircling foes—they had him fully hemmed in.

To the left stood Tang Sect’s Second Master, the Molten Furnace Upper Realm expert Tang Feng, leader of the Tang Sect.

To the right was the Heavenly List's second-ranked powerhouse, Tang Sect’s prized contender, the Middle Melting Furnace Realm's Eight-Armed Arhat Ming Yuzhen.

Ahead loomed the Kunlun Sect Leader, the Molten Furnace Upper Realm's Chang Xuzi.

Behind was King Qi’s elite commander, a ferocious blade master who had forged his path into Overlord Dao, Overlord Blade Qi Chun at Half-step Melting God Realm.

These four enclosed Chen Jie, with three outmatching his power and one matching him at Middle Furnace Realm. Chen Jiusi found himself plunged into dire peril.

As the quartet closed in, Chen Jie understood that escaping this day would be no easy feat.

With that thought, he eyed the four, focusing particularly on Overlord Blade Qi Chun. In truth, against Tang Sect’s Second Master and Chang Xuzi, Chen Jiusi could put up a fight, but Qi Chun filled him with doubt.

Half-step Melting God Realm—that realm was one Chen Jie didn't dare challenge lightly.

Such considerations led Chen Jie to address the gathered adversaries: "Hehe, all old friends."

Ming Yuzhen and Chang Xuzi replied: "Indeed, old friends. So let’s skip the idle chatter—this is the Heaven and Earth Net. I wonder if you have any tricks left to slip away alive; you'd be wise to yield and spare yourself the pain."

Chen Jie responded: "Yes, old friends for sure, though old friends hit with such vicious force."

With that in mind, Chen Jie turned to Tang Sect’s Second Master and Qi Chun: "Of course, new friends as well. I never imagined Chen Jiusi had such connections—even before meeting, you've already taken note of me."

Tang Sect’s Second Master Tang Feng cast a look at Chen Jie and remarked: "Chen Jiusi is indeed a prodigious youth. Following the Wushan expedition, my brother sang your praises, and now seeing you in person, you live up to every bit of the hype."

Chen Jie regarded Tang Sect’s Second Master and said: "Hehe, the Tang Sect Leader flatters me too much; being kept in mind by the Tang Sect Leader is an honor for the junior."

Tang Sect’s Second Master grinned: "Regrettably, no opportunity for a joyful toast today, just blades clashing. Here's an idea: as a kindly senior, I'll presume to speak for the group—if Brother Chen agrees to yield, I assure your survival."

Chen Jiusi narrowed his eyes at the beaming Tang Sect’s Second Master; without prior knowledge of this cunning fox's ways, he might have fallen for it.

Reflecting on that, Chen Jie faced Tang Sect’s Second Master and noted: "Oh, that's generous, but if the Tang Sect Leader seeks to preserve my life, I fear King Qi’s side may object."

Tang Sect’s Second Master chuckled at this: "Hehe, this old fox carries some weight; I believe Commander Qi would grant me that courtesy, wouldn't you say, Commander Qi?"

Qi Chun took it in, flicking his gaze between Tang Sect’s Second Master and Chen Jiusi: "The Prince has long admired you. There's wisdom in knowing the hour. Chen Jiusi, with your fame, you must be clever—grasp this, and don't cling to futile resistance."

Qi Chun then eyed Tang Sect’s Second Master and added: "Moreover, with the Tang Sect Leader's endorsement, should you submit, I pledge in the Prince's name to overlook your previous actions."
