Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1736 - 402: Battle Against Kong Wen, Shaolin’s 72 Ultimate Skills (Part 3)

Missing his initial strike, Master Kong Wen retrieved the Zen Staff from the ground. Grasping the staff, he unleashed the Weituo Staff Technique once more, a skill from the Seventy-two Skills. The Zen Staff carved arcs through the air, weaving a dense, impenetrable shroud. Observing the sixty-pound staff expertly wielded by Kong Wen, Chen Jie recognized the master's exceptional skill. He quickly drew his own long spear from the earth, initiating a fierce weapon clash with Master Kong Wen.

Chen Jie's spearplay was like an elusive shadow, dreamlike and swift. He employed three spear strikes, derived from the 'Thirteen Gun Breakthrough,' to contend against Master Kong Wen.

Their weapons met with loud, resonant clashes. Chen Jie immediately transitioned into a powerful move: [The spear is like a dragon in hand; life is as uncertain as the Yellow Springs—Dragon Capture].

With a single thrust, the spear emitted a sound akin to a dragon's roar. In Chen Jie's grip, the weapon became a piercing point of cold light, surging forward like an unleashed dragon, striking fiercely at Master Kong Wen.

Witnessing Chen Jie's aggressive advance, Master Kong Wen swiftly altered his strategy, transitioning from the Weituo Staff to the Demon Suppression Staff Technique, a specialty of the Arhat Hall.

As the technique was executed, an image of an Angry-eyed Vajra materialized behind Kong Wen. The Demon Suppression Staff Technique in his hands clashed directly against Chen Jie's long spear.

Sensing the shift in the battle, Chen Jie rapidly changed his technique to [Fiery Fire soaring to the sky igniting all things—Zhu Rong].

Chen Jie channeled his Gang Qi, and in the following instant, the spearhead erupted in flames, lashing out directly towards Kong Wen.

Seeing this, Kong Wen accelerated the transformation of his Zen Staff, shifting to the Dharma Staff Technique.

With a resounding collision, Chen Jie's spear met Kong Wen's Zen Staff. Recognizing Chen Jie's formidable power, Kong Wen understood that if given the opportunity, Chen Jie would undoubtedly execute his third strike, the devastating [Qian Kun]. Feeling unable to gain an advantage in the weapon exchange, Kong Wen skillfully used the iron ring on his Zen Staff to entangle Chen Jie's spear, employing the Great Manjusri Stick Technique to disarm him.

For a few tense moments, Chen Jie and Master Kong Wen wrestled for control of their weapons before both ultimately released their grips, letting their weapons fall aside.

Immediately afterward, Master Kong Wen executed a rapid spin on his right foot, his kasaya billowing like a colossal windmill, inexorably enveloping Chen Jie within its folds.

Caught within the kasaya's embrace, Chen Jie felt an overwhelming sense of disorientation, the world spinning around him.

An immediate sense of alarm surged within him.

This was none other than the Shaolin Seventy-two Skills—Kasaya Demon Suppression Skill. At this moment, Master Kong Wen's kasaya, wielded with terrifying might, swept up and down.

Injecting Gang Qi into the cloak imbued it with the sharpness of blades. Master Kong Wen unleashed a relentless assault on Chen Jie, forcing him to retreat ceaselessly until he could retreat no further. Bracing himself, Chen Jie channeled his strength, instantly activating the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, executing the move [Crossing the River].

Boom...

With a thunderous explosion, Chen Jie's palms impacted Master Kong Wen's kasaya, tearing the valuable garment to shreds.

Thud, thud, thud...

Master Kong Wen and Chen Jie were violently thrown backward, staggering several steps before they could regain their balance. Once steady, Master Kong Wen raised his hand, plucking a fragment of the tattered kasaya from the air.

With a precise pinch of his fingers, the kasaya fragment was launched like a deadly blade directly towards Chen Jiusi.

Chen Jie observed this, his brow furrowing; the old monk was still displaying his prowess.

Shaolin Seventy-two Skills—Blossom Pinch Technique.

Chen Jie recognized the technique; it was indeed one of the Shaolin Seventy-two Skills, the Blossom Pinch Technique, and he understood its deadly efficacy.

Seeing the fragment aimed at him, Chen Jie cast all other thoughts aside. Swiftly, he intercepted more than ten fragments of the kasaya suspended in the air, simultaneously activating the hidden weapon technique from the Spring Chapter of the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, known as [Sky Blossoms Rain Money].

Instantly, the fragmented pieces of kasaya were propelled outward, whizzing through the air like a cascade of falling flowers.

Swish, swish, swish...

The rain of flower-like projectiles shot out with incredible speed. With a sharp crackle, two kasaya fragments collided, one swiftly shattering the other.

It was the kasaya fragment, imbued with the Blossom Pinch Technique from Shaolin, that annihilated Chen Jie's Sky Blossoms Rain Money.

However, just as this fragment met its destruction, Chen Jie's second and third projectile fragments arrived, directly obliterating the Blossom Pinch Technique's kasaya fragment.

Though Chen Jie's individual technique might not have been overwhelmingly powerful, his Sky Blossoms Rain Money excelled astonishingly in sheer volume of attacks.

Kong Wen observed his Blossom Pinch Technique being thwarted, his expression unchanging. He retaliated with another surge of the same technique, piercing through multiple layers of Chen Jie’s kasaya. Chen Jie frowned, swiftly raising a hand to employ the Summer Technique from the formidable Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique.

[Fiery Fire Palm]

Instantly, potent Gang Qi ignited, engulfing the kasaya fragments Kong Wen had launched, reducing them to cinders.

Simultaneously, Chen Jie’s fragmented kasaya rained down on Kong Wen’s position. Kong Wen responded by raising his hand and activating the Shaolin Seventy-two Skills—Burning Wood Blade Technique.

With a swift flourish, he incinerated Chen Jie’s kasaya fragments. Witnessing their exchange,

The onlookers wore serious expressions, completely awed by the displayed techniques. It resembled less a battle and more a grand exhibition of martial prowess, with Master Kong Wen undeniably stealing the spotlight.

It was common knowledge that Shaolin possessed the Seventy-two Skills, yet few had witnessed their application. But here was Master Kong Wen, seemingly showcasing these legendary Shaolin skills for all to see.

Those in attendance could only concur that Shaolin’s foundation was indeed robust, and these Seventy-two Skills were truly awe-inspiring.
