The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Two strikes collided with a loud bang, turning the entire arena to ashes. Huangfu Mingmo was knocked back several dozen steps, while Duanmu Chong remained steadfast; the outcome was clear. Huangfu Mingmo experienced his first defeat in life, and his undefeated legend in the martial world came to an end today. Disappointed, Huangfu Mingmo left this place where he could no longer stand.
Qiu Yuxia called out to the departing Huangfu Mingmo, "My friend!"
Dreamy Beauty said, "No need to rush; you will soon be able to leave this place as well, hahaha."
Qiu Yuxia replied, "Let's begin." With that, Qiu Yuxia drew her Sword from behind her, unleashing her ultimate technique, One Sword Returns to One. The surrounding air formed a sword of energy that soared into the clouds, aimed directly at Dreamy Beauty. Unwilling to back down, Dreamy Beauty countered with her renowned move, Swallowing Mountains and Rivers. Instantly, a massive vortex formed before Dreamy Beauty, absorbing all surrounding air currents. The vortex grew larger and spun faster, threatening to engulf everything in front of it. As the two techniques clashed, destruction ensued; the air trembled like mountains. Swallowing Mountains and Rivers overpowered One Sword Returns to One, leaving Qiu Yuxia injured and coughing up blood. This marked Qiu Yuxia's first defeat as well, leaving many in the Martial Arts Community astonished.
With the Sword God and Sword Immortal both defeated, the Martial Arts Community turned their attention to Duanmu Chong and Dreamy Beauty. Duanmu Chong faced off against Dreamy Beauty; both were silent, aware of each other's extraordinary strength. However, victory or defeat could be decided in an instant. The two moved like lightning, striking each other with rapid hand slaps that sent countless stones flying and caused the ground to sink three feet. Dreamy Beauty was pushed back three steps while Duanmu Chong was pushed back two steps. That one-step difference determined the outcome of their duel.
Everyone paid their respects to Duanmu Chong for winning the anticipated title of leader of the martial world. At this moment, Yi Junsheng said, "You have won in martial arts, but you have yet to pass the literary test. Let me pose a question; if you cannot answer it, you will forfeit your title."
Duanmu Chong replied, "If it's a literary test, then bring it on."
Yi Junsheng said, "Alright, listen carefully. The first line is: In such a vast martial world, how can demons and monsters run rampant? Please provide a matching second line."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt it was a jab at Duanmu Chong. Ben Aoxiang remarked, "Yi Junsheng, how dare you disrespect our sect leader?"
Duanmu Chong responded calmly, "No worries; my second line is: In such a broad river and lake, how can ants and insects act recklessly?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "You... very well! Let's continue. This question tests your intelligence; listen closely: There is a father and son. The father celebrates his birthday while the son wishes him longevity. Why is the father unhappy?"
Duanmu Chong answered confidently, "That's too easy; it's because this father is celebrating his ninety-ninth birthday."
Yi Junsheng said, "Well... consider yourself lucky! Let's try a more difficult one: A villain kidnaps a woman and tells her that even if she screams her throat raw, no one will come to save her. Why did she scream for help and then get rescued?"
Duanmu Chong replied without hesitation, "That’s not difficult either; it’s because no one recognized her signal for help."
Yi Junsheng acknowledged him saying, "You do have some skill."
Dreamy Beauty interjected, "Words are futile; recently many innocent people in the martial world have been killed by Black Clan Evil Ones. If you can eliminate the Black Tribe within five days, I will gladly accept you as our leader without question."
Duanmu Chong declared resolutely, "Alright! Within five days, I will ensure that the Black Tribe disappears from the martial world."
Dreamy Beauty covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "I await with great anticipation."
Martial Arts Tribunal Inside the prison, Tang Bo Hu used a deadly poison, Laughing Step into Madness, on the Criminal whose limbs were shackled by iron chains. The Criminal momentarily failed to wipe it off and was already poisoned. At that moment, an astonishing scene occurred; the true energy within the Criminal surged and instantly shattered the chains. The Criminal laughed heartily, saying, "The poison is the key to my liberation."
Tang Bo Hu immediately expressed, "Esteemed senior, that poison was crafted by me. Please appreciate my assistance and help us escape from here."
The Criminal replied, "Don't think everyone else is a fool. Is it not obvious whether you wish to help me or to kill me? I will spare your life for your mistakes; just stay here well, ha ha." With that, he struck the prison door with a loud bang, shattering it and walking out of the cell with great swagger. The guards saw someone escaping from prison and immediately signaled for help.
As the Criminal stepped out of the prison door, he was confronted by an imposing figure—Iron-Faced Impartial - Bao Qing. Bao Qingyan said, "Sword Demon Tiedan, your place is not here; please return to your cell."
The Sword Demon laughed heartily: "Bao Qing, are you dreaming? Now that I have come out, how could I possibly go back?" After speaking, the Sword Demon gathered his energy and unleashed a sword aura aimed directly at Bao Qing.
Bao Qing leaped to evade the sword aura, but by the time he landed back on the ground, the Sword Demon had already vanished without a trace. Bao Qing instructed his subordinates, "This person has fallen into madness and is extremely dangerous. Hurry and issue a wanted notice to the martial arts world; we must capture him."
Wang Chao said, "Recently, Martial Arts Sect held a martial arts conference and has elected a leader. We can ask for the leader's assistance."
Bao Qing replied, "In that case, let's notify Martial Arts Sect. After all, there is strength in numbers."
Wang Chao responded, "Understood."
Bao Qing: "Tang Bo Hu and the other two must be closely monitored; we cannot allow another prison break to happen."
Wang Chao assured him, "I will assign more personnel to guard them."
At Awakening Sea Music Academy, Chief Assistant Xian Haixing arrived at the headquarters of the Black Design Society, Afang Palace. Xian Haixing said, "Your efficiency at the Black Design Society is truly low; you still haven't completed my assignment."
Black Design Society President Gao Jianli replied, "Not so. My assassin has gone to Tongfu Inn to carry out the mission; however, there were too many members of the Martial Arts Community present at that time. After all, fighting does make noise. The involvement of numerous members of the Martial Arts Community caused the assassination to fail. Recently, since Martial Arts Sect held a martial arts conference, I believe that now Tongfu Inn is deserted. I will send Yu Rang again to execute the task; please rest assured."
Xian Haixing stated, "My lord can no longer wait; I need you to send your strongest assassin to carry it out."
Gao Jianli replied, "No problem; the price is one hundred thousand taels."
Xian Haixing: "This... fine. However, you must kill Qin Se Pi Pa, and then I will pay you."
Gao Jianli said, "The rule of the Black Design Society is to pay first before killing. Even if the mission fails, the money will not be refunded."
Xian Haixing angrily replied, "How can this be? Are you not just robbing us?"
Gao Jianli: "That's the rule. If you can't accept it, please leave."
Xian Haixing felt helpless and could only pay Silver Coins, hoping to quickly eliminate the traitor Qin Se Pi Pa.
Yi Junsheng returned from the Martial Arts Sect to the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, and was surprised to see Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism and Murong Yaoxian. Yi Junsheng asked, "When did you return, One Piece of Paper? Miss Murong, why are you here?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Yaoxian turned her gaze to Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism: "So you are Mr. Yi Zhangzhi."
Outside the second base of the Black Tribe, Yama Hall, today the leader of the Martial Arts Sect, Duanmu Chong, led his disciples there. Duanmu Chong declared, "To the Black Clan Evil Ones, today is your last day in this world."
The Black Design Society sent their top assassin, Jing Ke, to Tongfu Inn with the intention of taking the life of Qin Se Pi Pa. Will he succeed? With the Black Tribe facing the siege of the Martial Arts Sect, what will be the outcome? Yi Junsheng recognized Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism as Yi Zhangzhi. What will happen next?
