Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1746 - 405: Chen 94, You Can’t Win. Kong Wen: I Concede

Empowered, Qi was gathered, and Gang Qi materialized, giving form to a colossal dragon.

At this precise moment, Chen Jie’s eyelids slowly lowered as he perceived the flow of Gang Qi coursing through his being. His right arm began to lift incrementally, the very atmosphere surrounding him undergoing a sudden transformation. He inhaled deeply, the Gang Qi within his Dantian surging like an overwhelming tide, concentrating itself onto his outstretched right hand.

Emanating from behind him, the Martial Arts dragon, meticulously formed by the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms technique, lifted its head skyward with a furious roar, emitting a sound that shook the very earth.

Roar, roar...

Once the dragon’s cry subsided and Chen Jie’s breathing regained its steadiness, his eyes snapped open with the suddenness of lightning. With a swift movement of his arm, he unleashed a palm strike.

[Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms]

[Crossing the River!]

This particular strike represented the most potent palm within the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, its might only surpassed by the legendary Kanglong Youhui; a palm strike embodying sheer, unadulterated dominance. This formidable palm was suddenly propelled towards Master Kong Wen.

Presently, Master Kong Wen’s eyes remained tightly shut. He made no extraneous movements, calmly awaiting the palm’s arrival. His hands were clasped together before his chest, his lips murmuring scriptures, exuding an aura of profound tranquility.

The palm strike shot forth, its accompanying Gang Qi transforming into a dragon that swept through the area. In its wake, leaves trembled and detached, falling in rapid succession. A subdued sonic boom resonated in the air, and the colossal dragon, entwined around Chen Jie’s right palm, descended with ferocious impact towards Master Kong Wen’s form.

At that critical juncture, Master Kong Wen abruptly raised his head, his eyes blazing like twin bolts of lightning: "Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

Boom!

With instantaneous effect, an immense Golden Bell, exceeding ten meters in height, materialized behind him. Intricate Buddhist patterns were etched into the Golden Bell’s surface, and as the Gang Qi vibrated, these patterns began to visibly shift and flow, appearing imbued with life. The Golden Bell radiated a brilliant light, enveloping the vicinity in a warm, golden luminescence.

By this point, Chen Jie was already bringing the full force of the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms crashing down. The strike was both fierce and overbearing; the colossal dragon slammed directly against the Golden Bell. A resonant clang, akin to the striking of a grand bell and a mighty gong, reverberated through the heavens and the earth.

Dang...

The titanic dragon and the Golden Bell met in a violent collision, generating a shockwave of immense power. The terrifying recoil force directly impacted Chen Jie’s physique. Chen Jie felt a sudden warmth in his throat as a mouthful of blood rose, trickling from the corner of his lips.

Just as an expectant silence fell over the onlookers, anticipating Chen Jie being repelled or sent flying, they were astonished to witness Chen Jie had inexplicably phased into the interior of the Golden Bell. Immediately following this, a palm strike landed squarely on Master Kong Wen’s body.

"Heaven and Earth Transposition!"

An individual with exceptionally keen eyesight immediately discerned that while Chen Jie’s palm strike outwardly employed the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, he had, in fact, subtly incorporated the Qiankun Great Method.

Utilizing Heaven and Earth Transposition to infiltrate the Golden Bell’s inner sanctum, he delivered a decisive palm strike directly onto Master Kong Wen’s physique.

Dang!

Another resounding clang, like metal striking metal, echoed. Master Kong Wen neither dodged nor attempted evasion, absorbing Chen Jie’s blow directly. Gazing at Chen Jie, he remarked, "What a remarkably clever stratagem. It appeared you were employing the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, yet you had secretly woven Heaven and Earth Transposition into its execution, using the Moving Technique of Heaven and Earth Transposition to bypass my external Golden Bell. Truly impressive, truly—the younger generation is indeed a force to be reckoned with!"

Master Kong Wen offered a slight nod, his expression conveying a sense of approval. Observing this, Chen Jie responded with a wry smile, stating, "Heh, indeed, nothing can be concealed from the Master. Yet, despite my utmost efforts, I find myself in a rather unfortunate predicament. While I managed to breach Master’s external defenses, I failed to realize that Master had prepared a hidden counter—this Golden Bell Shield not only repels attacks from without but also fortifies from within."

Precisely as Chen Jie surmised—he realized that Master Kong Wen’s physical body itself possessed a resilience comparable to Vajra. Master Kong Wen then smiled and articulated, "Esteemed Mr. Chen, this is a detail you were not privy to. In antiquity, this Golden Bell Shield was divided into two distinct components. The first portion found its way into the Jianghu, and remains known as the Golden Bell Shield. The second part, which you now witness, constitutes this golden body, recognized within the Jianghu as Vajra!"

Chen Jie responded, "My understanding has certainly been expanded. So, this is the fabled Vajra!"

Kong Wen simply offered a gentle smile, remaining silent. Chen Jie then inquired, "In that case, Master, I must ask, does my final strike count as a single Move or two?"

Given that Chen Jie had employed two distinct Cultivation Techniques in his preceding action, it could legitimately be interpreted as either one Move or two. Master Kong Wen replied, "Indisputably, it is counted as a single Move."

Chen Jie then declared, "Then, I still have two Moves remaining!"

Chen Jie’s gaze sharpened instantly, and he promptly addressed Master Kong Wen, "Then, Master, please be cautious. I will now make my move!"

Master Kong Wen chuckled, "Please do."

With that, Chen Jie suddenly retreated. Undeterred by his previous missed strike, Chen Jie stomped his right leg slightly. His toe grazed the ground, propelling his entire being forward once more, swift as an arrow released from a bowstring.

However, at the precise moment he launched into the air, Chen Jie abruptly altered his technique, executing the 'Flying Dragon in the Sky' move.

With sounds like 'thup, thup~', his body spiraled upwards, ascending into the sky. Master Kong Wen watched Chen Jie vanish before him, yet remained unfazed, a faint smile still gracing his lips. He recognized this tactic of feinting in the east to strike in the west as a common ploy, one designed solely to exploit defensive vulnerabilities. But how could he possibly possess any such weaknesses?

Considering this, Master Kong Wen's expression radiated absolute confidence. Losing? It was simply out of the question!

With such conviction, Master Kong Wen didn't spare Chen Jie another glance. He closed his eyes once more, murmuring Buddhist scriptures under his breath, embodying the very image of a serene Buddhist master.

Sensing Master Kong Wen's tranquil state, Chen Jie, still airborne, made no overt move. Following 'Flying Dragon in the Sky,' he plummeted directly from the heavens, driving his palm towards the ground.

A resounding 'Boom!' echoed as a colossal palm descended from above. A loud clang followed once more. Though the immense palm force from Chen Jie's 'Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms' was neutralized by the 'Golden Bell Shield,' Chen Jie utilized 'Heaven and Earth Transposition' to infiltrate the shield's interior. He then slammed his palm onto Master Kong Wen's back.

A sharp 'Dang!' resonated, as if striking solid metal again. Chen Jie was violently thrown backward once more, sustaining not insignificant internal injuries. Yet, in this critical moment, his 'Chang Chun Skill' activated, and his Life Force swiftly mended the internal damage within his body.
