The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Outside the Martial Arts Sect, Duanmu Chong faced Jing Ke with a cold and angry expression. Duanmu Chong said, "Jing Ke of the Black Design Society, today I will restore your verse to the true farewell of Jing Ke: A Hero's Farewell, Never to Return."
Jing Ke smiled and replied, "Ha, then let's see what you, Duanmu Chong, are capable of." With that, Jing Ke took the initiative, drawing a dagger and launching a swift attack on Duanmu Chong. Duanmu Chong remained calm and collected, countering each move with ease. Although Jing Ke was relentless in his assault, his techniques were too ordinary for Duanmu Chong to take seriously. At this moment, Jing Ke sheathed his dagger and drew a long sword from behind him, using standard sword techniques as the battle entered a new phase.
Within the Martial Arts Sect, upon seeing that Nightmare Demon was still alive, Dao Yandian broke out in a cold sweat. Not wanting to be passive prey, he launched an attack. Nightmare Demon observed and said, "Is this your final struggle? How pathetic!" He then unleashed a powerful wave of energy that formed an invisible net of air, keeping Dao Yandian at bay. Dao Yandian, now frightened like a startled bird, hurriedly attempted to escape towards the door. Nightmare Demon said, "Dao Yandian, please enjoy the highest form of death." Immediately after, Nightmare Demon unleashed a newly created Magic Technique: Soul Slaughter Without Harming the Corpse directly aimed at Dao Yandian. Realizing he could not evade it in time, Dao Yandian resorted to the technique taught by Duanmu Chong: Galactic Destruction to counter the Magic Technique. However, the disparity in their strengths was vast; Dao Yandian was predictably struck by the Magic Technique and lost all three souls. As he slowly fell to the ground, his eyes opened wide as if accusing fate for this outcome. Nightmare Demon remarked, "This is the fate that conspirators deserve," before leaving the Martial Arts Sect.
Outside the Martial Arts Sect, fierce battles continued. Duanmu Chong noticed that Jing Ke had no intention of risking his life but was merely engaging in a drawn-out fight, which left him puzzled. At that moment, a signal from Jihua Fireworks sounded; Jing Ke unleashed a fierce sword aura towards Duanmu Chong and then retreated. Duanmu Chong blocked the sword aura and suddenly realized, "Not good, I've fallen into their trap." He immediately returned to the Martial Arts Sect. Inside the sect, he found Dao Yandian lying on the ground. Upon checking Dao Yandian's body for injuries or internal damage and finding none, he was greatly perplexed. Duanmu Chong said, "The only one capable of killing invisibly is Murong Mulong. Could it be him? Damn Jing Ke and that detestable Black Design Society; I will make sure you disappear from the Martial Arts Alliance."
Divine Craftsman Ou Ziya arrived at Ming Kong Residence to see Huangfu Mingmo and said, "A swordsman must sharpen his tools if he wishes to excel. Sword God, I have brought you a sword that will restore your former glory."
The dazed Huangfu Mingmo asked, "Oh? What kind of sword is it? It won't be that flawed sword from last time, will it?"
Ou Ziya replied, "Last time at Murong Manor, Murong was eager to showcase an unfinished sword before everyone. Now this sword has been completed by me; it truly is a perfect sword. Previously taken by Sword Demon, fortunately Chief Justice Bao of the Martial Arts Tribunal captured him and returned the sword to its rightful owner. Among all swordsmen in today's martial world that I know of, you Sword God Huangfu Mingmo are most qualified to possess this sword; perhaps only you can bring out its true brilliance."
Huangfu Mingmo said, "Ha! I am a defeated man; isn't it ironic for me to be worthy of possessing it?"
Ou Ziya responded, "Not at all! You did not use this sword when you were defeated last time. If you fail again after using this sword, then you will truly have no right to possess it." He then drew out the Ming Sword Longquan; in an instant it radiated brilliant light that dazzled Huangfu Mingmo's eyes. Instantly awakened from his daze, Huangfu Mingmo leaped into the air and with a flick of his finger sent forth a slight sword aura towards Dragon Spring Treasure Sword. The treasured sword soared from Ou Ziya's hand into Huangfu Mingmo's grasp as he executed Famous Sword technique: One Sword to Level the Field with ease, sweeping away days of gloom from his heart.
Huangfu Mingmo declared: "Ou Ziya, I accept this sword; I will ensure it reaches its fullest potential."
Ou Ziya replied: "Excellent! To see such a spirited Sword God makes my journey worthwhile."
Protected by the Nightmare Demon, Yi Junsheng searched throughout the martial arts world for Sanwei Daoist, who testified for Eastern Proud Dragon at the Martial Arts Tribunal. Finally, his efforts were rewarded when he found Sanwei Daoist at a Tea House. Yi Junsheng said, "After enduring countless hardships, I finally found you, the despicable traitor Sanwei Daoist. Your treachery will face a cruel retribution today."
Sanwei Daoist hurriedly defended himself, saying, "Yi Junsheng, please don't be impulsive. Let me explain."
Yi Junsheng replied, "Fine, let this be your last words before you descend into the underworld."
Sanwei Daoist said, "When Eastern Proud Dragon came to me asking about Eastern Dragon, I certainly didn't tell him anything. Who would have thought he would attack me? I fought back fiercely, but in the end, I lost and was captured by him. If I didn't reveal the truth, he would have tortured me to the point of wishing for death. To continue contributing my humble efforts to the martial arts world and to weigh how much we could both contribute, I chose to come clean. Eastern Proud Dragon demanded that I testify at the Martial Arts Tribunal in exchange for my life; I had no choice."
Yi Junsheng responded, "Very well. You found a grand excuse to save your own skin. Is this not what they call 'a friend in need is a friend indeed'? How can you prove that my contributions to the martial arts world are less than yours?"
Sanwei Daoist replied, "My actions may indeed be somewhat selfish, but proving that my contributions exceed yours is simple. First, your skills are lacking; while I may not be a master, I possess some ability and am far more capable than you in punishing evil and upholding justice. Secondly, you are greedy and lustful; your presence does not help the martial arts world but harms it instead. As for me, Sanwei Daoist, being a practitioner, I am free from such desires and serve as a good example in the Martial Arts Alliance. Lastly..."
Yi Junsheng interrupted Sanwei Daoist, saying, "Stop! You despicable coward! It seems you have too much to say before your demise. Pay attention; my Magic Technique, Shattered Corpse, No Bones Left, is about to be unleashed."
Sanwei Daoist exclaimed, "Only a fool would trust you!"
At that moment, an Evil Energy surged through the area as the Nightmare Demon quietly arrived and said, "For those who commit injustice, death is the only option." Seeing this, Sanwei Daoist trembled in fear and immediately begged for mercy. He knelt before Yi Junsheng, bowing three times and saying, "Yi Junsheng, please forgive me! I acted against you only because of threats from Eastern Proud Dragon. The true culprit is him; you should seek revenge on him instead of venting your anger on me! If you spare me, I am willing to serve you like a loyal servant."
Yi Junsheng said, "I never expected to hear such words from you. Haha! Where has your manly spirit gone? Well then, seeing how desperate you are to survive, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. I plan to buy a carriage; from now on, you'll be my coachman."
Upon hearing this, Sanwei Daoist felt as if he had received a reprieve from death. "Great! Thank you so much, Yi Junsheng. I will do my best as a coachman from now on."
Nightmare Demon remarked, "Yi Junsheng, are you really going to let him go? Such an unjust person deserves no mercy. Don't you feel ashamed having such a coachman?"
Yi Junsheng: "Everyone makes mistakes. If we don't give them a chance to correct themselves and simply eliminate them at the first mistake, what will the martial world become? Sanmei Daoist, although you fear for your life, I believe you will change for the better under my influence."
Nightmare Demon said: "That's not my style, but if you want to protect him, I respect your decision."
Yi Junsheng replied: "Sanmei Daoist, let's go. First, we will buy a carriage, then we will seek out that Damn High Guy. I must avenge my grievance."
The Eastern Ninja Yamada Koji, having failed in his initial confession, took advantage of the night to enter the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain again, intending to confess to his goddess Murong Yaoxian. Coincidentally, Zhuge Kongming also arrived at the unguarded Martial Bamboo Divine Domain. Once again, Yamada Koji and Zhuge Kongming crossed paths over Murong Yaoxian. Yamada Koji said: "You despicable one! I haven't settled the score with you for ruining my last chance, and now you're here again competing for Miss Murong. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
Zhuge Kongming replied: "Stop dreaming! How could Miss Murong possibly like you? Have you looked in the mirror to see if you are worthy of her?"
Upon hearing this, Yamada Koji exclaimed, "Bastard!" and immediately attacked. Zhuge Kongming drew his sword to counter. The two once again engaged in a fierce battle over the beauty in the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain. Fueled by hatred, Yamada Koji unleashed ruthless techniques with every strike aimed at taking a life. Zhuge Kongming, filled with fury, transformed his relentless swordplay into a powerful defense, refusing to retreat as he aimed to eliminate his opponent. The clash of swords echoed throughout the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, alarming Murong Yaoxian. She emerged from within and saw the two fighting fiercely. She said: "Stop! You two again? I suppose this fight is over me. Today, I will make things clear."
