Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 174 - 112: The incident escalates, Peng Shizhong VS oil seller_3

This spear strike failed.

However, even though it failed, it frightened the assassin enough to make him step back repeatedly, breaking into a cold sweat.

"What kind of spear technique is this!"

The assassin exclaimed, hearing this, Chen Jie chuckled and said, "The spear technique that will take your life!"

Having said that, he didn’t waste any more words and took a step forward, unleashing the second spear strike!

[Dream Shattering Fifth Night, Horn Sound Blows Off the Moon—Wandering Soul!]

Chen Jie’s move was filled with absolute murderous intent. Knowing that his weapon was inadequate, he chose a tactic that didn’t involve clashing directly with the enemy.

It was a spear technique that originated from Qingming!

At the same time, combined with the Yang Chun Skill, both internal and external forces attacked the assassin.

The assassin was greatly alarmed. He then saw Chen Jie’s bamboo spear drawing circles in front of him, which made his head swirl as if he were trying to see through the dense fog of Qingming, all blurry.

He was greatly alarmed, swinging his long saber wildly, his techniques totally disrupted at that moment.

"Ah!"

He let out a hysterical roar from his mouth, indicating that his defenses were starting to break, as he could not manage to hit the bamboo spear even once.

And just when he was most agitated, suddenly a long spear thrust out from the mist, aiming directly at his body.

With a ripping sound!

The next moment, the bamboo spear pierced right into the shoulder socket of his right arm, causing blood to flow freely, and the assassin immediately lost the mobility of his right arm.

Seeing this, the assassin gritted his teeth and threw down the long saber, attempting to catch it with his left arm.

But how could Chen Jie give him such an opportunity? He swiftly pulled out the bamboo spear and flicked away the long saber, followed by another thrust of the bamboo spear into his left shoulder socket.

At the same time, he released the bamboo spear, stepped forward, and with a drag on the ground, the assassin’s long saber fell into his hands.

Just as the assassin thought to move, Chen Jie pressed the long saber against his neck.

"Don’t move."

Chen Jie’s voice was icy.

The assassin frowned upon seeing this, but he remained still.

Chen Jie reached out and removed the assassin’s black mask, only to discover a face he did not recognize.

"Why do you want to kill me?"

The assassin turned his head away, saying nothing.

Chen Jie then pressed down on the bamboo spear lodged in his shoulder, immediately causing intense pain to spread throughout the assassin’s body.

"Ah~ Black Market!"

"Black Market?"

Chen Jie furrowed his brow and then demanded, "Be more specific!"

"A job from the Black Market."

"Who, who ordered it?"

"Um..."

Hearing this, the assassin’s eyes suddenly looked behind Chen Jie. Chen Jie turned his head and saw a person starting to run.

Chen Jie angrily shouted, "Where do you think you’re running!"

After saying this, he pulled out the bamboo spear from the assassin’s shoulder and threw it. The person was startled, managed to dodge, and yet prepared to run again.

Chen Jie now had two choices: to chase or not to chase.

Chen Jie immediately chose to chase, but what about the assassin? Taking him along was impossible, so...

With a flash of the blade, the assassin felt a chill on his neck, and the next moment, his body slumped down softly.

"Pity, couldn’t get more information out of him."

Thinking this, Chen Jie chased after the fleeing person, who was just about to escape the alley. Chen Jie sped up, kicked up a bamboo spear from the ground, and with a powerful throw, bolstered by the Yang Chun Skill, the spear flew out fiercely.

With a sharp thwack, it plunged into the ground right in front of the man.

The man halted abruptly, and by then Chen Jie was already upon him.

Facing each other, Chen Jie realized everything, "You, Yu Biao’s steward!"

The steward also turned around, saw Chen Jie, and knowing he couldn’t escape, there was a hint of resolve on his face as he said, "Chen Jiusi, you sure are hard to kill, even this didn’t work!"

Chen Jie said, "We have no personal grudge, why try to kill me? For revenge on behalf of Yu Biao?"

"Exactly!"

The steward answered, Chen Jie said, "Truly a loyal servant, but now, are you planning to kill yourself, or shall I help you?"

Hearing this, the steward suddenly assumed a fighting stance and said, "The Yu Family has no cowards, only warriors who die in battle. Today, I want to see just how capable you, Chen Jiusi, really are!"

Hearing this, Chen Jie thrust his knife into the ground and also assumed a fighting stance.

"Good!"

Hearing this, the steward angrily retorted, "You dare underestimate me."

Saying so, he charged straight at Chen Jie. Chen Jie took a fighting stance but did not strike first; when he had seen the steward use the "Little Thought" before, he became quite interested in this Martial Arts skill.

Now having the chance for a close encounter, he naturally let the steward fully exert himself.

At that moment, the steward struck with a palm. Chen Jie did not counter, but was ready to take the hit.

With a smack, that palm landed on Chen Jie’s body, the first contact very gentle, but immediately followed by a surge of great force.

Chen Jie felt it and inwardly marveled.

Though "Little Thought" was not a strong Dark Force Technique, one of its techniques in exerting force was very advanced, that is, the delayed force exertion.

When fighting, if someone attacks you, you’d typically block first. At that moment, your body’s defensive power is at its strongest, making it hard for others to hurt you. However, their force lingers, and just when you think your opponent’s attack has ended and your muscles relax that’s when they suddenly exert force, with a fierce killing power.

This technique of exerting force, Chen Jie found to be very clever, and through continuous sparring, Chen Jie noticed that his "Little Thought" moves were not wide and sweeping but rather focused on small motions, inflicting the greatest damage.

This hand technique was quite interesting,

quite similar to Yong Chun from his previous life!

Thinking this, Chen Jie took several hits from the steward hard, leaving the steward gasping for air. His strength was indeed weak; Skin Buff Realm against Willow Tendon Realm was an unfair matchup.

Chen Jie, if not interested in seeing his "Little Thought," probably could have killed him with one palm.
