The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Inside the Martial Arts Tribunal, Izumi Jiro led the ninjas in an assault. Chief Justice Bao Qing, along with his guards Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu, stepped forward to confront the ninja invasion. The ninjas led by Izumi Jiro appeared and disappeared, making it difficult for Bao Qing and his companions to grasp their movements, and they found themselves in a tough battle. Several ninjas located the Executioner, also known as the Butcher, within the courtyard and immediately launched a fierce attack on him. Although the Butcher was an Executioner, his martial arts skills were exceptional; he handled multiple ninjas with ease. In contrast, Bao Qing and his companions were trapped by Izumi Jiro and struggled to break free.
The flames of war at the Martial Arts Tribunal had spread to the Judicial Court's prison, prompting all guards to rush to support Bao Qing and his team. Seeing this opportunity, Criminal Tang Bo Hu thought it was now or never and used the Shrink Bone Technique to escape from his cell. Just as Tang Bo Hu stepped out of his cell, he suddenly discovered that Sword Demon Tiedan, who had escaped last time, was also in the prison. After some contemplation, Tang Bo Hu decided to rescue Sword Demon Tiedan; this way, if the Martial Arts Tribunal wanted to pursue fugitives, they would have to prioritize capturing Sword Demon Tiedan. Tang Bo Hu opened the door of Sword Demon Tiedan's cell and freed him. Sword Demon Tiedan said, "I will remember this favor; let's leave quickly."
Izumi Jiro and his ninjas had already killed several guards from the Judicial Court and were fiercely battling Bao Qing and his team. Just when Bao Qing and the others were in dire straits, reinforcements arrived in time; both sides engaged in a battle of annihilation and counter-annihilation. Seeing Bao Qing's support was like rain after a long drought, they fought even more vigorously; powerful palm techniques were unleashed directly at Izumi Jiro. With inferior martial skills and no numerical advantage, Izumi Jiro could only defend himself without any means to counterattack. Moments later, half of the fifty ninjas had fallen; seeing this, Izumi Jiro realized there was no chance of victory and ordered a retreat. However, just as Izumi Jiro and the remaining ninjas reached outside the Judicial Court, Zhan Zhao, the First Expert of the Martial Arts Tribunal, returned from an assignment. Without hesitation upon seeing the situation, Zhan Zhao drew his sword and charged at the ninjas. The swift sword strikes left no room for evasion, resulting in regretful outcomes. After several exchanges, all ninjas including Izumi Jiro fell under Zhan Zhao's merciless blade. At this moment, Bao Qing exclaimed: "Zhan Zhao! You returned just in time."
After dealing with the bodies of the ninjas, a guard reported: "The notorious Sword Demon Tiedan and Tang Bo Hu have escaped from prison."
Bao Qing replied: "This is truly unfortunate; we must inform Duanmu Alliance Leader to assist in their capture. Let Wang Chao go to Martial Arts Sect to notify Duanmu Alliance Leader."
Wang Chao responded: "Understood." He then headed towards Martial Arts Sect.
The Awakening Sea Music Academy faced pressure from the Martial Arts Sect's forces; Dean Gong Shang Jiao Zhi Yu found himself in a dilemma. At this moment, Gong Shang Jiao Zhi Yu made a decision: "Duanmu Alliance Leader, our Awakening Sea Music Academy is willing to join Martial Arts Sect under your leadership; we hope you will take care of us in the future!"
Duanmu Chong replied without hesitation: "Hahaha! Gong Shang Jiao Zhi Yu, you truly understand current affairs; I am beginning to appreciate you now. Very well, since you are willing to accept my leadership, I am greatly relieved. If there are tasks in the future, I will naturally communicate them to you. To show my sincerity, you should send several subordinates to Martial Arts Sect for our use; you have no objections to this?"
Gong Shang Jiao Zhi Yu answered: "No objections; I will immediately send The Arbiter's Three Hands and Musician Plum Blossom with you."
Duanmu Chong said: "Very good! Today’s resolution without bloodshed is thanks to your foresight in handling matters. Hahaha! Troops, return to Martial Arts Sect!"
Gong Shang Jiao Zhi Yu bowed respectfully to Duanmu Chong and said: "I bid farewell to Duanmu Alliance Leader."
At the Martial Arts Auction, a parrot became a highly sought-after item among members of the Martial Arts Community. Yi Junsheng had just arrived and was still unfamiliar with the situation when he asked: "What kind of parrot is this? Why are so many people willing to bid high prices or offer even more valuable martial arts secrets and famous swords?"
At this moment, the Parrot said, "I am the Divine Bird, the Phoenix of the Race. Where did you come from, White Face? Your ignorance has displeased me, the Divine Bird. I will peck you until there is nothing left but bones."
Yi Junsheng was enraged and replied, "Well, indeed a talkative Woodpecker. Tell me, what other bird-like qualities do you possess?"
The Parrot answered, "Besides serving as a messenger pigeon, the most important thing I can do is serve as my master's memory."
Bidding continued in the crowd, and the one making an offer was Fan Buzhao, the Loser Scholar, who said, "I bid one thousand taels of gold." Seeing Fan Buzhao's bid, Yi Junsheng approached him and scrutinized him from head to toe, shaking his head several times. Yi Junsheng asked, "Where does this down-and-out scholar get one thousand taels of gold? Are you just trying to drive up the price?"
Fan Buzhao replied, "Though I am a Loser Scholar, it does not mean I am a destitute person. I truly find this lovely Parrot appealing; you cannot judge a person's heart by their appearance. However, let me turn the tables: you, Yi Junsheng, are indeed a person of substance; your actions are despicable, and your words are always filled with sarcasm. This invisible blade you wield pierces others' hearts and can even suffocate them."
Yi Junsheng retorted, "Fan Buzhao, you just want to buy this Woodpecker; why do you need to insult me? Do we have deep-seated enmity?"
Before Fan Buzhao could respond to Yi Junsheng's accusation, someone else made a bid. Wu Sangui, the Sea Mountain Observer, said, "I bid ten thousand taels of gold." As soon as the bidding started, the room fell silent. After the auctioneer called out ten thousand three times, the Divine Bird belonged to Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui paid with silver coins and took the Divine Bird away.
Yi Junsheng remarked, "Isn't that Wu Sangui, who is known for his infatuation with beautiful women? When did he develop an interest in birds? How strange!"
Fan Buzhao said, "Yi Junsheng, your words have provoked my killing intent; I truly want to end your arrogant life with a single strike."
Yi Junsheng laughed heartily and said, "Come on! If you have the guts, then do it! Don't just talk; show me your actions so that people will look at you differently! I believe you lack the courage; you are just a cowardly scoundrel spouting nonsense here. Your words have sullied my ears; Fan Buzhao, not only have you failed in your studies but also in life."
Unable to endure Yi Junsheng's taunts any longer, Fan Buzhao raised his hand to strike him. However, the Nightmare Sorcerer would not allow Fan Buzhao to act recklessly. The Nightmare Demon remained still but unleashed an attack toward Yi Junsheng with a technique that struck from afar. As Yi Junsheng was hit, his magic technique instantly countered Fan Buzhao's move and swept toward him instead. Fan Buzhao was caught off guard and was knocked out of the Martial Arts Auction venue, landing heavily on the ground and immediately spitting blood.
The Nightmare Demon said, "Loser Scholar, mind your manners; otherwise, the gates of Fengdu will open for you."
Yi Junsheng said, "My brother is quite generous; this Loser Scholar is asking for trouble by trying to kill me here without considering the timing. Hahaha! Friends of the martial world, it's now my turn to auction off my prized possession. Sanwei Daoist, quickly bring forth this unparalleled Zombie for everyone to see." He then had Sanwei Daoist bring up the mutated corpse of Yamada Koji, whose limbs were shackled.
Yi Junsheng continued his introduction: "Everyone, this Zombie is quite special; look at how stiff its body is and how its skin lacks elasticity. Strangely enough, it moves by jumping with both feet together. When a person approaches it, it will perform astonishing movements." He then leaned his head close to Yamada Koji's corpse to demonstrate for everyone. As soon as the mutated corpse sensed a living person nearby, it went wild and attempted to bite off Yi Junsheng's head. The terrifying sight made everyone in the Martial Arts Community gasp in horror.
Nightmare Demon recognized the corpse as Yamada Koji and said, "Isn't this a ninja from Japan? How could he end up like this after I killed him with a single strike?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "What you don't know is that this Zombie is a failed experiment of Divine Doctor Zhang Chongxing. Now that I've captured it, of course, I plan to auction it off."
The Martial Arts Community began to discuss what was so valuable about this Zombie. At that moment, someone made a bid. A plainly dressed man said, "I am Medicine King Sun Simiao, and I need a Zombie to test my medicine. I offer one Power Pill."
Yi Junsheng responded, "Oh, it's you, Medicine King Sun Simiao. May I ask what effects your Power Pill has?"
Sun Simiao answered, "As the name suggests, after taking the Power Pill, your body will become extremely strong, and you will possess strength greater than ten bulls, able to lift a mountain with ease."
Yi Junsheng asked, "Is that really the case? I wonder if there are any side effects after taking the Power Pill?"
Sun Simiao angrily replied, "Are you questioning my title as Medicine King Sun Simiao? After the effects of the Power Pill wear off, you will return to normal. Are you satisfied with this price?"
After thinking for a moment, Yi Junsheng said, "Alright, seeing how sincere you are, it's a deal. Sanwei Daoist, quickly hand over the Zombie to Medicine King Sun Simiao."
After Sun Simiao handed over the Power Pill to Yi Junsheng, he took away the corpse of Yamada Koji.
