Chapter 1731: Chapter 401: Five Ghosts Door Nails and the Terrifying Chen 94 (Part 2)

At that moment, Zuo Buqun’s face also looked troubled, 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Master Kong Wen, you really are putting me on the spot."

Zuo Buqun forced a bitter smile and reluctantly stepped forward, clasping his fist towards Chen Jie and said, "Chen Shaohua."

Seeing Zuo Buqun step up, Chen Jie said nothing, simply clasping his fist in return, "Alliance Leader Zuo."

Zuo Buqun joked bitterly, "Chen Shaohua, you can see, I’m far less skilled than Master Jue Mie. Even with the Jade Maiden Sword, the world’s number one sword, Master Jue Mie couldn’t defeat you, let alone me."

"But as one of the Six Great Sects Leader, I can’t avoid stepping up, so I’m just here to make a fool of myself under pressure."

Listening to this, Chen Jie showed a polite expression and said, "Alliance Leader Zuo, you’re too kind."

However, deep inside, an alarm went off, thinking this is suspicious, Zuo Buqun’s attitude is off.

Could it be a trap!

Considering this, Chen Jie showed no signs on his face, quietly watching Zuo Buqun, who then bitterly laughed, "Chen Shaohua, let’s just spar casually as a formality."

Chen Jie replied, "Alright, I’ll follow Alliance Leader Zuo’s lead."

As they spoke, Zuo Buqun clasped his fist saying, "Chen Shaohua, please."

Seeing this, Chen Jie clasped his fist, "Please!"

But as Chen Jie raised his hand to clasp his fist, Zuo Buqun suddenly slapped his own sleeve.

Bang...

A fierce sound of breaking through the air was heard, followed by a green object shooting directly towards Chen Jie’s chest.

At that moment, Chen Jie’s hands were clasped, and without reacting, the green object hit his chest directly.

"Chen Shaohua, be careful!"

Song Yuanqiao from Wudang shouted.

Chen Jie remained motionless, as the green object struck his chest with a thud, and instantly white smoke rose from his chest.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Buqun laughed heartily, "Hahaha... Chen Jiusi, Chen Jiusi, despite your unparalleled divine technique, your mind isn’t sharp at all. You didn’t guard against me at all, truly reckless."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie’s expression didn’t change. Meanwhile, Lei Ming, supported by Fang Zheng and Fang Susu not far away, turned pale and said, "Why did he fall for Zuo Buqun, this hypocrite’s, deadly scheme!"

Lei Ming stamped his feet and pounded his chest, having barely overcome so many obstacles, hoping to succeed, only to be tricked by Zuo Buqun at the last step. Such a loss was hard to accept for Lei Ming.

Fang Susu said, "It can’t be that bad. Brother Chen just took one hit from him. With Brother Chen’s martial power, this attack is nothing."

Lei Ming smiled bitterly, "Susu, you don’t understand. There’s a category in this world for hidden weapons and poisons, with the three most cunning sects. First is Sichuan Tang Sect, famous for hidden weapons; second, Five Poison Sect with its unmatched poisonous Mother Gu; and third, the Huashan Sect!"

"Huashan Sect?"

Upon hearing Lei Ming, Fang Susu said, "Isn’t the Huashan Sect known for its swordsmanship? I’ve never heard of hidden weapons!"

Lei Ming said, "Five Mountains Sword Alliance has been established for a long time. Their enemy back then wasn’t the Zoroastrian Sect but Black Wood Cliff on the borders. A long time ago, Black Wood Cliff’s ten elders besieged Huashan but were eventually trapped and perished there. The Great Elder among those ten was the then-world’s foremost hidden weapon master who wielded Black Wood Cliff’s unique hidden weapon, Funeral Door Nails!"

"Funeral Door Nails?"

Fang Susu exclaimed. Lei Ming said, "Yes, Funeral Door Nails, also known as Five Ghosts Door Nails. With Huashan acquiring these Five Ghosts Door Nails, it transformed from a sect never proficient with hidden weapons into the world’s renowned hidden weapon master. Even Tang Sect and Five Poison Sect begrudgingly admit it."

Lei Ming looked at Fang Susu and said, "Now you know how formidable the Five Ghosts Door Nails are, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Susu’s face turned pale, realizing the Five Ghosts Door Nails’ might.

Fang Zheng’s face also looked troubled. Clearly, they were one step away from victory, with only Monk Kongwen’s battle to win and Little Ming King secured. Unexpectedly, they’d encountered this setback, rendering their efforts futile.

Fang Zheng felt as if he had been stacking blocks all day, with just one piece left to achieve success. As he placed it, the whole thing collapsed—a truly devastating moment.

"Ah... Chen Shaohua is still too young."

Song Yuanqiao sighed, and Zhang CuiShan and others rushed up but were stopped by Song Yuanqiao.

Then Yin Liting said, "Senior Brother, don’t stop me. I have to save him. He saved my life!"

Song Yuanqiao, hearing this, looked at Yin Liting and asked, "Where’s this life-saving favor?"

Yin Liting said, "On our trip to Wushan, Xiao Hong was chased by people from King Qi Residence and almost defiled. It was Chen Jiusi who saved Xiao Hong and rescued her life. Xiao Hong and I are husband and wife, so saving her is saving me!"

After speaking, Song Yuanqiao looked at Yin Liting and then said, "Hmm, you’re right, this favor needs repaying. But now intervening would be unjustifiable, and Chen Shaohua was hit in the Tan Zhong Acupoint."

"Getting struck in the Tan Zhong Acupoint by the Funeral Door Nails is almost hopeless."

Song Yuanqiao said, with Zhang CuiShan and Yin Liting asking, "Then what can we do?"

Song Yuanqiao thought for a moment and said, "While it’s not a dead end, we can’t help, but he might have a chance himself."

Seeing Song Yuanqiao’s expression, Zhang CuiShan and Yin Liting exchanged glances, although unclear about Song Yuanqiao’s words, they could only wait, as according to Song Yuanqiao, their intervention now would be in vain.
