"Get lost!" Chen Jie roared.
"What did you say? You're looking for death!" Wen Qiang was furious.
When had he, the young master of an ancient aristocratic family, ever been treated like this?
His aura erupted, and he charged at Chen Jie. "You little brat, did you really think you could ignore me just because you beat me last time? Today, I'll show you the formidable strength of my Wen family!"
"Combat skill, Frenzied Killing Fist!" Wen Qiang immediately unleashed his most powerful move.
"You still want to use that move against me?" Chen Jie's eyes turned cold. He had experience dealing with the Frenzied Killing Fist and immediately unleashed his strongest attack.
"Hahaha... Did you really think I only knew the Frenzied Killing Fist? You're wrong. Today, I'll show you what a true combat skill is!"
The reason Wen Qiang was so arrogant towards Chen Jie this time was precisely because he had learned the Wen family's second combat skill, the Crouching Tiger Claw!
Wen Qiang transformed his fist into a claw, and with immense ferocity, he lunged at Chen Jie.
"What?"
Chen Jie's expression changed slightly. He immediately realized that Wen Qiang's claws were like sharp blades, impossible to block directly.
He immediately retreated.
Wen Qiang laughed arrogantly. "Hahaha... Last time, I hadn't mastered my second combat skill and suffered a loss at your hands. That was your good luck. You won't be so lucky this time! I'll beat you until you shit and piss yourself!"
He then charged at Chen Jie again.
Chen Jie was forced to retreat repeatedly.
Not far away, Gu Bao watched this scene and exclaimed in shock, "The Wen family is renowned for its combat skills, but their combat skills are notoriously difficult to master. I never expected this young Wen to have mastered two combat skills at such a young age! This young man's future is limitless!"
Gu Yue nodded in agreement. "I might not even be his match now!"
"Chen Jie's strength is ultimately a bit weak. He's being suppressed by Wen Qiang. If I had known, we should have been more forceful from the start!"
Gu Yue looked at Chen Jie with a deep gaze.
Chen Jie, is this truly all you're capable of?
That would be too disappointing for me.
"Chen Jie, die for me!"
Wen Qiang seized an opportunity and fiercely clawed at Chen Jie's neck with the Crouching Tiger Claw.
The next second, Chen Jie's expression turned fierce.
He suddenly drew his bronze sword and blocked Wen Qiang's claw.
The collision produced a metallic clang.
Wen Qiang's expression changed slightly. He immediately realized the extraordinary nature of Chen Jie's bronze sword. The sword was vibrating, emitting a repulsive force that made Wen Qiang's Crouching Tiger Claw tremble.
Logically, with ordinary iron, his Crouching Tiger Claw could easily bend it. But facing Chen Jie's bronze sword, it did not.
"Where did he hide his sword?" Gu Yue murmured curiously from not far away.
Chen Jie looked at Wen Qiang and said crisply, "Three-Talent Sword!"
Instantly, Chen Jie spun his bronze sword, creating a sword flower, and thrust it towards Wen Qiang.
Wen Qiang's face changed drastically.
Because Chen Jie's sword did not resemble ordinary slashing movements.
It made him feel as if he couldn't dodge.
He had to retreat rapidly.
He exclaimed inwardly, "Impossible!"
The combat skills of their Wen family were not only immensely powerful but also exquisitely crafted. Even if the opponent wielded a weapon, it was useless.
Yet, Chen Jie's sword, while making him uneasy, was impossible to dodge.
"Three-Talent Sword, retreat!"
Swish!
Chen Jie swung his sword again. Originally, Wen Qiang intended to counter with the Crouching Tiger Claw and Frenzied Killing Fist. But as he was about to make a move, he felt a great danger approaching him.
It felt as if if he made a move, his life would be in peril.
He had no choice but to retreat.
Even so, the sharp sword energy still sliced off a piece of his hem.
"Impossible! You actually repelled me! This isn't real!" Wen Qiang shouted in disbelief.
"There's nothing impossible about it! You lost to me last time, and this time will be no exception!"
Chen Jie continued his attack. "Three-Talent Sword! Retreat!"
"Ah!"
Wen Qiang dodged again, and another piece of his hem was sliced off.
"You, you... this is swordplay!" Wen Qiang finally reacted, pointing at Chen Jie incredulously, his face full of shock.
"That's right! Your Wen family isn't the only one with combat skills! Your Wen family's combat skills are not invincible!"
"No, I don't believe it. Even if you know combat skills, they must be the most basic ones! How could they be stronger than my Wen family's combat skills? It must be your great sword that's so powerful, right? You're relying on your treasure sword to do this!"
Wen Qiang refused to admit that his skills were inferior.
He had resolved to perform well in front of Gu Yue this time.
If he couldn't perform well now, he couldn't admit he was weaker.
Little did he know that Chen Jie wasn't relying on the power of the great sword.
It was his swordplay that achieved this. The bronze sword was already a spiritual artifact. Only when paired with cultivation abilities could its true combat power be unleashed.
However, Chen Jie had not used his cultivation abilities. He currently wanted to know the limit of his martial arts.
Otherwise, with Chen Jie's Foundation Establishment realm strength revealed, Wen Qiang would have already been dismembered.
And that night, after witnessing Wen Qiang and Gu Bao's combat skills, Chen Jie had researched combat skills.
He discovered that his master had left him several combat skills, one of which was the Three-Talent Swordplay.
This Three-Talent Swordplay required no exertion of internal energy, relying purely on technique, which was why Chen Jie could master it in a short time.
The other combat skills left by his master required the circulation of true qi and were difficult to master in a short period.
However, Chen Jie believed that even the Three-Talent Swordplay, relying solely on technique, could not be compared to Wen Qiang's Frenzied Killing Fist and Crouching Tiger Claw.
He felt that what his master had taught him was no less than the inheritance of some ancient families!
This could be seen from the secret of the engagement.
"If you're not skilled enough, don't make excuses! You wanted to kill me today, so I'll kill you! Die!"
Wen Qiang was both shocked and enraged.
But facing Chen Jie, he now had no power to fight back.
Unwillingness, anger, powerlessness! All sorts of negative emotions surged in his heart.
"Enough, stop!"
More pieces of Wen Qiang's clothes were sliced off, making him look utterly dishevelled.
He was so angry he felt like his lungs would explode.
He was actually inferior to a bumpkin from the countryside!
Damn it!
"You want me to stop, so I stop? Those who offend my Pingshan Villa, no matter who they are, will pay the price! Three-Talent Sword! Die!"
Chen Jie swung his bronze sword again, pressing close to Wen Qiang.
Ah!
This time, Wen Qiang wasn't so lucky.
His back was directly slashed by sword energy, leaving a long bloody scar. His hem was also cut up to his knees.
This made him look like a stray dog.
"You, you dare to wound me! How dare you!" Wen Qiang was furious.
"So what if I wounded you? You can only rage ineffectually! Today, I will not only wound you, but I will kill you!"
A killing intent flickered in Chen Jie's eyes.
