Han Miaozhen faced Chen Long and Mei Tu's combined assault and used her Flame Afterimage technique to evade their attacks. She then surprised Chen Long by appearing behind him, but this was another illusion. Mei Tu's Shadow Devouring Needle attack also proved ineffective against another afterimage. Han Miaozhen then appeared behind Mei Tu, ready to strike, but Chen Jiusi intervened at the last moment.

Chen Jiusi!

At this very moment, Han Miaozhen's eyes were wide with disbelief. When exactly had Chen Jiusi materialized behind her?

Han Miaozhen was astonished. Even with Chen Jiusi's considerable skills, it was unfathomable for him to appear behind her without any prior indication. Such supernatural speed was not something Chen Jiusi should possess.

It was hardly her first encounter with Chen Jie’s prowess. Chen Jiusi was widely recognized for his direct combat style, and his Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms were universally acknowledged as unparalleled.

However, his speed, in the estimation of these experts from the Molten Furnace Upper Realm, was unremarkable. His singular notable technique was the Thunderbolt Step, effective for covering distances in a straight line, yet somewhat inflexible during actual combat.

Prior to launching her attack, she had meticulously scanned Chen Jiusi’s position. He had been seated atop the wall.

How could he possibly have crossed the distance to stand behind her in the blink of an eye?

This is impossible, unless...

Wait!

Han Miaozhen suddenly considered a chilling possibility. The sole Cultivation Technique capable of such instantaneous teleportation was their Sect Hierarch’s Qiankun Great Method, specifically the Heaven and Earth Transposition aspect. This technique not only allowed for the manipulation of Gang Qi, meridians, and acupoints but also granted teleportation abilities. In essence, Heaven and Earth Transposition could execute short-distance, rapid transference.

Only a teleportation speed could account for this.

With this realization dawning, Han Miaozhen cried out: "Qiankun Great Method!"

Chen Jie let out a chuckle: "As expected of Han Dharma King, immediately recognizing the Divine Technique of Qiankun Great Method, truly impressive."

Chen Jie's face bore a smile as he offered praise, yet Han Miaozhen could not reciprocate, for Chen Jie was gripping her wrist with immense strength.

Han Miaozhen attempted to break free but found herself utterly incapable. She tried to exert her formidable strength to escape, only to discover her power being neutralized by the transposition force of Chen Jie’s Qiankun Great Method.

In that critical moment, Han Miaozhen was unable to wrench her wrist free.

Meanwhile, Mei Tu, who had been momentarily stunned, finally shook off her panic and observed Chen Jie's expression of gratitude.

"You truly scared me..."

Before Mei Tu could finish her sentence, Chen Jie interjected: "Enough talk, hurry and act."

"You truly don’t know how to cherish beauty."

With that remark, Mei Tu suddenly lifted her leg high, activating the hidden dagger mechanism beneath her footwear, and swiftly lunged to slash at Han Miaozhen’s neck.

Han Miaozhen leaned backward to evade the strike, then roared: "Phoenix True Fire."

Woosh woosh...

Instantly, she was enveloped in an inferno of boundless flames, terrifying blazes rushing towards Mei Tu, who deftly dodged the onslaught. Chen Jie, however, did not evade; he continued to hold Han Miaozhen’s hand tightly.

Han Miaozhen felt her hand held fast, her anger rising, and she clenched her free right hand. In the next instant, a Flame Longsword materialized in her grasp, which she then swung at Chen Jie.

Witnessing this, Chen Jie eased his grip slightly and rapidly retreated several meters.

Han Miaozhen watched Chen Jie retreat, her fury mounting, and gritting her teeth, she declared: "Towards the Peacocks!"

With an indignant cry, the Flame Longsword in her hand swept outward, unleashing a scorching wave of fire that surged towards Chen Jie.

"Ha, trivial tricks."

Chen Jie smiled confidently, lightly tapping his right foot on the ground, and vanished from sight, only to reappear instantly at Han Miaozhen’s side.

Qiankun Great Method—Shift and Replace!

Seeing her attack go awry, Han Miaozhen became incandescent with rage, swinging the Flaming Longsword once more, directing a torrent of fire at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie eluded them through the Shift and Replace technique, evading Han Miaozhen’s assaults a total of three to four times. Eventually, he found himself encircled by the flames, with no apparent escape route.

Han Miaozhen shouted: "Let’s see where you’ll run!"

With these defiant words, she unleashed a fiery wave directly at Chen Jiusi.

At this juncture, Chen Jie stood immovable in the center of the fiery wave, bathed in the surrounding inferno, showing no inclination to retreat. His hands moved with practiced grace, and the incoming fiery wave, seemingly drawn by arcane forces, abruptly altered its trajectory. The ambient flames were likewise drawn in, converging into the fiery wave that emanated from Chen Jie’s hands.

"Go!"

Chen Jie thrust the fiery wave forward, its path redirected by the Qiankun Great Method, sending it hurtling back towards Han Miaozhen.

[Qiankun Great Method—Borrowing Force to Strike]

The reversed fiery wave surged back, crashing towards Han Miaozhen. She furrowed her brow, executing a hasty retreat, but the relentless wave pursued her.

She had no choice but to wield the Flame Longsword.

[Towards the Peacocks]

In an instant, she activated "Towards the Peacocks," unleashing a terrifying fiery wave. Moments later, the counter-wave from Chen Jie collided with hers.

Boom,

The two fiery waves met head-on like enraged bulls, neither willing to yield, until they consumed all the available oxygen between them, resulting in mutual annihilation.

"A true Borrowing Force to Strike!"

Han Miaozhen experienced a setback, a flicker of seriousness crossing her eyes.

Yet her tone remained defiant: "But if you think you can win with just this, you’ve overestimated yourself." Han Miaozhen spoke coldly. Chen Jie replied: "Yes, yes, Han Dharma King’s fire Kung Fu is indeed formidable, but however strong, it can’t surpass your ability for sharp rhetoric. An outsider might think you had the upper hand just now!"
