Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Ao~

A dragon’s roar, reverberating with power, was heard as Chen Jie switched from claw to palm, striking directly at the center of that furious force.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Chen Jie and the other person immediately separated, each retreating several steps.

Tap tap!

Both sides stood firm. At this moment, Du Zundao, who had made a move, stepped back with a face full of surprise and exclaimed, ”Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, Chen Jiusi!”

Du Zundao then stared intently at Chen Jie, knowing well that besides Xiangyang Guo Juxia in the past, only Chen Jiusi could wield the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms to this level.

And this peak-strength, ferocious palm power had already become a hallmark of Chen Jie.

Thus, once he made a move, Chen Jie’s identity was exposed with absolute certainty.

”Chen, Chen Jiusi!”

Upon hearing Du Zundao say it was Chen Jiusi, Han Miaozhen’s face suddenly turned very grim. She knew that she shared a long history with Chen Jiusi and had watched Chen Jie’s slow growth from the days in Huangzhou Prefecture, where Elder Quan bore a grudge against him.

Then it was in the Land of Witchcraft in Lingnan where Chen Jiusi forcefully broke through to the Dragon Realm and killed Elder Quan.

Later on, during the journey to Wushan, even though Chen Jiusi incidentally entered the Molten Furnace Realm, he still wasn’t a match in her eyes.

But everything changed on Bright Peak, where she and Chen Jiusi fought to a draw. Despite losing, Han Miaozhen didn’t feel that there was an insurmountable gap between her and Chen Jiusi.

And that gap ultimately manifested within the Great Capital City, at Tuo Tuo Mansion.

Though their exchange was brief, in that attack and defense, she completely fell into a disadvantage, not even a worthy adversary for Chen Jiusi.

Her proud Phoenix True Fire, against Chen Jiusi’s Zhu Rong’s Divine Fire, turned directly into fodder, easily consumed by Zhu Rong’s Divine Fire.

If Du Zundao hadn’t intervened just now, she might already have had her throat seized by Chen Jie, caught in a life-and-death struggle.

And all of this developed too rapidly. From the young junior she would barely glance at in Huangzhou Prefecture to now, a formidable force against whom she couldn’t last a single round.

The transformation was too drastic and too swift.

Even the seasoned and battle-hardened Han Miaozhen found it difficult to accept in such a short span.

After all, it had only been a few years, from anonymity to soaring success, Chen Jiusi’s rise was too fast, making Han Miaozhen feel stifled, oppressed, and deep within her heart, there was an uncontrollable fear.

Not just Han Miaozhen, even Du Zundao had a steel-blue face at the sight, the rapid progress of Chen Jiusi indeed far exceeded his understanding.

Remember, at Bright Peak, he was still chased around life-and-death by me, but in just a month, he advanced to the Melt God Realm, and the palm power of that strike wasn’t inferior to mine.

He had been in the Melt God realm for over ten years, honing his hand technique for decades, through so many years of hard cultivation, achieving what he had today.

As for Chen Jiusi, who seemed merely over twenty years old, how could he possess such profound mastery of hand techniques?

All this astonished Du Zundao, leaving him no time for further contemplation.

Chen Jie looked at him and said, ”Hehe, Dharma King of the Holy Sect, now willingly a court lackey, calling you a traitorous dog isn’t excessive, right?”

Du Zundao’s face turned black at this moment, glancing at Chen Jie and said, ”Chen Jiusi, all of this is your doing; if not for you, I should be the master of the Holy Sect by now, instead of being reduced to this homeless dog. Yet, you mock me, Chen Jiusi, today it’s either you or I!”

After saying this, Du Zundao directly struck a palm towards Chen Jie.
