Chapter 1746: Chapter 405: Chen 94, You Can’t Win. Kong Wen: I Concede

Powering up, Gathering Qi, Gang Qi manifests, a giant dragon emerges.

At this moment, Chen Jie’s eyes slowly closed as he felt the circulation of Gang Qi within his body. His right arm rose bit by bit, the aura around him changing abruptly. He took a deep breath, the Gang Qi in his body surging like a tide, converging onto his right hand.

Behind him, the Martial Arts dragon condensed by the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms raised its head to the sky and roared in fury, letting out an earth‑shaking bellow.

Roar, roar...

When the dragon finished its roar and Chen Jie’s breath had stabilized, he suddenly snapped his eyes open, his gaze like lightning. He swung his arm and struck out with his palm.

[Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms]

[Crossing the River!]

This was the most ferocious palm in the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, its power second only to Kanglong Youhui; a palm of pure domineering might. This palm suddenly blasted toward Master Kong Wen.

At this time, Master Kong Wen’s eyes were tightly shut. He made no extra movements, quietly waiting for this palm to arrive. His hands were folded in front of his chest, chanting scripture under his breath, the very picture of ease and leisure.

The palm shot out, Gang Qi turned to dragon and swept across. Wherever the fierce wind passed, leaves trembled and fell one after another. A low sonic boom rang in the air, and the giant dragon, wrapped around Chen Jie’s right palm, slapped ferociously toward Master Kong Wen’s body.

Just then Master Kong Wen suddenly raised his head, his eyes like lightning: "Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

Boom!

In an instant, a gigantic Golden Bell over ten meters tall appeared behind him. Buddhist patterns were carved upon the Golden Bell, and at this moment, under the vibration of Gang Qi, those patterns actually began to flow, as if they had come alive. The Golden Bell’s radiant light shone forth, bathing the surroundings in a golden glow.

By now Chen Jie was already bringing the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms crashing down. This palm was fierce and domineering; the giant dragon slammed directly into the Golden Bell. With a deep, resonant clang, like a great bell and mighty gong, the sound echoed between heaven and earth.

Dang...

The giant dragon and the Golden Bell collided violently, producing a tremendous impact. The terrifying rebound force directly acted upon Chen Jie’s body. Chen Jie only felt a sweetness in his throat as a mouthful of blood surged up, spilling from the corner of his lips.

Just as everyone thought Chen Jie would also be shaken and sent flying, they never expected that Chen Jie had actually slipped into the interior of the Golden Bell, and right after that, a palm landed on Master Kong Wen’s body.

"Heaven and Earth Transposition!"

Someone sharp‑eyed immediately recognized that though Chen Jie’s palm appeared to be using the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, in reality he was secretly running the Qiankun Great Method.

Using Heaven and Earth Transposition to flash into the interior of the Golden Bell, at this moment he struck a palm squarely onto Master Kong Wen’s body.

Dang!

Another clang like metal clashing. Master Kong Wen did not dodge or evade, simply taking Chen Jie’s strike head‑on. Looking at Chen Jie, he said, "What a clever scheme. It looked like you were using the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, but in fact you’d hidden Heaven and Earth Transposition within it, using the Moving Technique of Heaven and Earth Transposition to slip past my outer Golden Bell. Impressive, impressive—truly, the younger generation is to be feared!"

Master Kong Wen nodded lightly, a look of approval on his face. Seeing this, Chen Jie gave a wry smile and said, "Heh, indeed nothing can be hidden from Master. Yet after racking my brains, I still ended up in a miserable state. I may have broken through Master’s outer defenses, but I failed to notice that Master had still concealed a trick—this Golden Bell Shield doesn’t just defend from without, it defends from within as well."

Exactly so—Chen Jie had discovered that Master Kong Wen’s body itself was comparable to Vajra. At this time Master Kong Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, this is something you didn’t know. This Golden Bell Shield was actually split into two parts in the past. The first part fell into the Jianghu and is still called the Golden Bell Shield. The second part is what you see now, this golden body, known in the Jianghu as Vajra!"

Chen Jie said, "I’ve broadened my horizons. So this is Vajra!"

Kong Wen merely smiled without speaking. Chen Jie said, "Then I wonder, Master, does my last strike count as one Move or two?"

Just now, Chen Jie had used two Cultivation Techniques, so it could be counted as one Move or two. Master Kong Wen said, "Naturally, it counts as one Move."

Chen Jie said, "Then I still have two Moves left!"

Chen Jie’s eyes instantly turned sharp. He immediately said to Master Kong Wen, "Then Master, be careful. I’m going to make my move!"

Master Kong Wen chuckled, "Please."

With that, Chen Jie suddenly retreated. Having missed with his last strike, Chen Jie wasn’t discouraged in the slightest. At this moment his right leg gave a slight stomp, the tip of his foot tapped the ground, and his whole person shot forward again like an arrow loosed from the string.

However, at the very instant he sprang into the air, Chen Jie suddenly changed Moves, unleashing a Flying Dragon in the sky.

Thup, thup~

His whole body spiraled upward, soaring into the sky. Master Kong Wen watched as Chen Jiusi disappeared from in front of him, yet he showed no reaction. A faint smile still hung on his face. This tactic of feinting in the east to strike in the west was all too common; its purpose was merely to search for gaps in one’s defense. But how could he possibly have any defensive flaws?

Thinking thus, Master Kong Wen’s face was filled only with absolute confidence. Lose? There was no way he could lose!

With this in mind, Master Kong Wen didn’t even look at Chen Jie, simply closed his eyes again, chanting Buddhist Scripture under his breath, the very image of a Buddhist master.

Feeling Master Kong Wen’s demeanor, Chen Jie didn’t show much in midair. After Flying Dragon in the sky, he directly dropped from the heavens, driving his palm toward the ground.

Boom!

A gigantic palm descended straight from the sky. Once again there was a loud clang. The palm power of Chen Jie’s Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms was Unloaded by the Golden Bell Shield, but Chen Jie used Heaven and Earth Transposition to enter the interior of the Golden Bell Shield, and slammed a palm onto Master Kong Wen’s back.

Dang!

Once again it felt like striking solid metal. Chen Jie was shaken and sent flying once more, suffering not‑so‑light internal injuries. But at this moment, his Chang Chun Skill activated, and his Life Force instantly repaired the internal damage within Chen Jie’s body.
