Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1652 - 381: Du Zundao: Chen, Chen 94, How Could You Possibly Be This Strong! (Part 3)

Chen Jie’s mindset stayed straightforward: anything not his own, no matter its allure, remained nothing more than a fleeting stranger.

Chen Jie hauled in fish and gathered lotus roots, raking in a fortune, yet he remained somewhat unsatisfied.

He lifted his gaze at that instant toward the mist blanketing the sky. Capturing every bit of it would truly strike gold. His practice of the Qiankun Great Method craved such an enormous quantity of Spiritual Energy, but he had only drawn in under a tenth of the fog. Turning the whole fog into Tai Sui Pills would yield hundreds and hundreds for sure.

What a shame.

Chen Jie pondered briefly, then rummaged through his Storage Ring and pulled out two vacant jars. He scooped lazily at the air a couple of times, ensuring the jars at least picked up some Spiritual Energy.

Soon after, Chen Jie stepped onto the bank, dried his trouser legs with Zhu Rong’s Divine Fire, and retraced the trail. As he neared the boundary, he suddenly drew in a deep breath of the local fog, then turned away with reluctance.

At the same time, across from the Yin Yang circulation, Du Zundao saw the fog opposite him quiver suddenly, followed by a dim figure gradually approaching.

Du Zundao knitted his brows. Is that Chen Jiusi?

Indeed, it proved to be Chen Jiusi. Chen Jie advanced slowly toward him now, eyes overflowing with assurance. Such confidence was inevitable—upon exiting the mist's reach, the Ruins-like force suppressing Gang Qi reappeared, yet this time the Yin Yang Power inside Chen Jie’s Dantian abruptly started rotating.

Inside Chen Jie’s Dantian, the Dantian Power created a vortex much like the Ruins, effectively pushing back the external Ruins power.

With that, the two powers mutually repelled one another. Ultimately, Chen Jie found he could circulate his Gang Qi freely within the Ruins. Experiencing this, confidence filled Chen Jie’s heart.

Within this Yin Yang Ruins, barring an Earthly Immortal, even a Melt God Realm powerhouse entering would lose three-tenths of their power. They’d peak at Dragon Realm strength at most.

His own power currently reached the Molten Furnace Upper Realm. Against a Dragon Realm foe, it offered total domination.

Thus, Du Zundao standing before him was nothing but a feeble pushover.

Outside the Ruins, Du Zundao’s Melt God Realm might prove unbeatable for him. But inside here, dragons had to coil and tigers had to crouch.

Harboring these thoughts, Chen Jie strode forward with assured steps.

Du Zundao spotted Chen Jie right then too, his stare brimming with murderous intent. Kid, you’ve finally bothered to emerge.

Their gazes clashed across the stream. Chen Jie gradually reached the Yin Yang circulation’s edge—the exact spot from his earlier departure. Once more, the pair stood facing off distantly over the Yin Yang circulation.

This instant echoed that earlier one perfectly.

Chen Jie regarded Du Zundao. The feeling from two or three hours prior had vanished entirely now.

That crushing pressure was gone for good, since the balance between foe and self had completely inverted. Their power gap had flipped entirely. Chen Jie now overlooked him from a superior vantage.

Du Zundao caught a strange glint in Chen Jie’s eyes. His own narrowed faintly as he declared, "Chen Jiusi, didn’t you still have to obediently come back?"

At those words, Chen Jie shot him a look, a scornful smirk playing on his lips. "Hehe, yeah, I came back again. I wonder, Mr. Du, what difference do you see between the me right now and the me just now?"

Du Zundao replied, "What difference?"

He scanned Chen Jie from head to toe, then stated, "No difference at all. Enough, I’ve waited half a day for you. Did you get the Qiankun Great Method?"

Chen Jie’s mouth curved upward. "Not only did I get it, I’ve already learned it too."

Du Zundao’s brow creased slightly. "You mastered it in a mere two or three hours?"

Chen Jie responded, "Of course. Mr. Du doesn’t believe me?"

Du Zundao said, "Not really."

Chen Jie laughed lightly. "Fine, it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it. Then, Mr. Du, what exactly are you waiting here for me to do?"

Du Zundao declared, "Hand over the Qiankun Great Method and I’ll give you a quick death."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie’s lip twitched upward. "Mr. Du is still talking to me in that tone. Clearly you don’t realize our relative strength has already flipped. How about this, I’ll give Mr. Du a chance. As long as Mr. Du is willing to bind your own hands and abolish your Martial Arts, I’ll spare your life today, how about it?"

Du Zundao's expression turned grim in an instant. He fixed a fierce stare on Chen Jie. "Chen Jiusi, what rubbish are you talking? Me crippling my Martial Arts and tying my hands—for trash like you?"

Chen Jie let out a chuckle. "Mr. Du, are you sure you won't think it over?"

Du Zundao snapped, "Cut the crap. Surrender the Qiankun Great Method, and I'll spare your body a whole burial. Refuse, and this spot becomes your grave."

Chen Jie gave a soft laugh. "Seems Mr. Du is completely clueless. If Mr. Du throws away this chance, you can't fault me!"

With those words, Chen Jie pushed off the ground with his toes, launching himself skyward the very next moment.

Du Zundao furrowed his brows, his features twisted in disdain. Leaping across? No way. Not even he could guarantee success, especially with a Yin Yang Turtle lurking below. That single bound was pure suicide!

Scorn etched across Du Zundao's face as those thoughts raced through his mind.

Right then, Chen Jie soared into midair, catching the turtle's notice from the water.

The beast fired off a Flame Pulse directly at Chen Jie without delay.

Whoosh...

Blazing inferno roared toward Chen Jie. As the raging flames hurtled his way, not a trace of fear crossed Chen Jie's face; he simply observed the oncoming fire with steady composure.

Du Zundao's visage brimmed with contempt, however. How tragic—this Chen Jiusi doomed to perish in flames. He had it coming. Too bad the Qiankun Great Method must vanish with this cocky fool, swallowed by that monstrous maw!
