The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Inside Yun Yin Temple, the Nightmare Demon faced his former savior, the Celibacy Master. The Nightmare Demon said, "Master, you should not harbor illusions about those who are beyond saving. Not everyone can be saved by the Buddha. If you do not step aside, do not blame me for repaying kindness with malice." With that, he unleashed an attack aimed at Duanmu Chong. The Celibacy Master, seeing this, executed a renowned technique from the Buddhist Sect to neutralize the Nightmare Demon's energy.
The Nightmare Demon remarked, "Abstaining from Desire, do you have no regrets about your sinful actions?" After saying this, he waved his sleeve and unleashed the Magic Technique: Shattered Corpse, No Bones Left, directly targeting Duanmu Chong with the intent to eliminate evil in one blow.
The Celibacy Master replied, "In the land of the Buddhist Sect, evil cannot run rampant." After speaking, Abstaining from Desire activated Buddha's Power: Brilliant Radiance to counter the Magic Technique. The two techniques clashed; the Demonic Arts overpowered the Buddhist technique, causing Abstaining from Desire to be pushed back ten steps, spitting blood. At this moment, Duanmu Chong launched an attack against the Nightmare Demon. However, still recovering from old injuries and weakened by seventy percent, he could only barely hold on. In contrast, the Nightmare Demon was resolute in his determination to eliminate evil for the sake of the people; each strike was fierce and deadly. After several exchanges, Duanmu Chong bore even more wounds.
The Nightmare Demon declared, "One more strike to send you on your way!" He then executed Severing Tendons Without Harming Vessels towards Duanmu Chong. Weakened and unable to counterattack effectively, Duanmu Chong was on the brink of death under the Magic Technique. Just then, the Celibacy Master stepped forward to block the attack. After taking the full force of the strike, his body was broken and he could no longer stand; he fell to the ground. The Nightmare Demon said, "Abstaining from Desire, is this demon truly worth such sacrifice?"
With his right hand in a gesture of respect, the Celibacy Master replied, "Amitabha, if I do not enter hell, who will?"
The Nightmare Demon felt a pang of compassion and said, "You... you are truly infuriating!" He then helped Abstaining from Desire dispel the Magic Technique and left Yun Yin Temple.
Duanmu Chong said, "Thank you very much for saving my life this time."
The Celibacy Master replied, "You are a disciple of the Buddhist Sect; saving you is only right."
On Clear Forest Path, the masked Eastern Proud Dragon intercepted Wealthy Merchant Wang Fugui and his two bodyguards with intentions to rob them. Wang Fugui felt fearless with his bodyguards nearby; however, Eastern Proud Dragon's desire for revenge was undeniable and this robbery seemed destined for success. Eastern Proud Dragon said, "If you know what’s good for you, quickly hand over your silver notes and get lost immediately. Otherwise, my attack will not only seek Silver Coins but also your lives."
Wang Fugui retorted, "You reckless fool! How dare you speak like that in front of my bodyguards? You should consider your situation. You are alone while I have two bodyguards; do you really think you stand a chance two against one?"
Eastern Proud Dragon replied, "So you're saying that having more people means greater odds? Hahaha! You ignorant merchant! All you see in me is Silver Coins." With that statement, Eastern Proud Dragon swung his Great Axe directly at Wang Fugui. Wang Fugui's two bodyguards stepped up to confront Eastern Proud Dragon but were quickly overpowered; after several exchanges, both were injured and fell to the ground. Eastern Proud Dragon approached Wang Fugui with intent to end his life with one axe strike and seize his silver notes. Just as Wang Fugui's life hung by a thread, a Verse echoed through the scene:
One, I resent society's decline; two, the loss of decency; three, the double-edged sword; four, rampant evil; five, the monk's strict diet; six, the heartlessness of the martial world; seven, the fickleness of beauty; eight, the wanderer's deep affections; nine, the cat's nine lives; ten, the scarcity of true talent judges; eleven, the lack of virtue in warriors; twelve, stubborn pride; thirteen, broken promises; fourteen, unbreakable ties; fifteen, blind stubbornness; sixteen, misfortunes in pairs; seventeen, the peak's difficulty; eighteen, never tasting defeat.
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances approached and said: "I hate that evil spirits run rampant; robbing and killing on the road is no different from what evil spirits do. Since we have crossed paths today, you cannot expect me to stand by idly. Do you want to die by your own hand, or shall I take action?"
Eastern Proud Dragon, seeing it was Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances who had disrupted his plans last time, launched an attack against Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances responded: "I hate those who are stubborn and unrepentant; you deserve to die." He then drew his sword and unleashed a furious strike at Eastern Proud Dragon. Eastern Proud Dragon swung his axe to block with eight parts of his strength but was still hit by the remaining two parts in the abdomen, causing him unbearable pain as he immediately fled the scene. Once again, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances had thwarted Eastern Proud Dragon's plans. At this moment, Wang Fugui took out a stack of banknotes and said: "Thank you for saving my life; here is a token of my appreciation."
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances replied: "Put away your filthy money; you insult my character with this offer. The martial world today values profound martial arts over money. If you wish to survive in this martial world, take your money and retreat into hiding, ha ha ha!" With that, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances left.
Wang Fugui said: "I don't believe money can't hire experts to protect my safety; humph! I'm going to post a notice at Broadcast Tower, offering a fortune for bodyguards." He then headed towards Wulin Broadcasting Tower.
Leaving the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, the leader of the Daughter Clan, Shu Heng, arrived in front of a Bookstore. She thought: "There might be martial arts manuals for sale in this Bookstore, so why not take a look?" Then Shu Heng stepped into the Bookstore. The owner saw a customer and asked: "Our store has all kinds of books to meet various readers' needs. What kind of book does this young lady want?"
Shu Heng replied: "I want martial arts manuals; do you have any here?"
The owner said: "Of course! What kind of martial arts manual does the young lady desire?"
Shu Heng stated: "I want all the martial arts manuals you have; quickly bring out a few for me to see."
The owner brought out several books, but Shu Heng shook her head while flipping through them and said: "These are all ordinary sword techniques and knife styles; anyone practicing martial arts would know these—none are valuable." At this moment, Shu Heng picked up the best-selling book titled Record of Strange Tales from the Jianghu. After reading it, she developed a keen interest in the Half-Orc mentioned in it from Northern Martial Arts. Shu Heng: "Although the Half-Orc described in the book is strange-looking, each one possesses great martial skills. If I can learn their techniques, then revenge will be within reach." At this point, Shu Heng made her decision to seek out a Half-Orc master in Northern Martial Arts. Two Female Soldiers followed her.
Wealthy Merchant Wang Fugui arrived at Wulin Broadcasting Tower to post a notice offering a fortune for hiring martial experts as bodyguards. Once the notice was posted, it sparked widespread discussion among many in the Martial Arts Community. Yi Junsheng, who had just come out from the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, also arrived at the Broadcast Tower to see what was happening. After understanding the situation, he said to Wang Fugui: "Do you really think money can hire experts? Don't you know that today's martial experts look down on money? Except for those killers from the Black Design Society, who only care about cash without any integrity."
Wang Fugui replied: "I have always believed in the saying 'money can make ghosts push mills.' Even experts have times when they cannot see through fame and fortune. Besides, experts need food and clothing too; without money, how can they eat or dress?"
"Yi Junsheng said, 'Wang Fugui, you are quite ignorant. Do you not know that masters do not need to eat? The existence of masters is for war, not for clothing and food, so your theory does not hold. The only thing you can do now is to learn martial arts to become a master yourself. Only then will your life be guaranteed, and your business can grow bigger.'
Wang Fugui replied, 'According to you, doesn't that mean every businessman must practice superior martial arts to expand their business?'
Yi Junsheng responded, 'Indeed. If you want to grow your business and also want to be a master, how can that be so easy? You must understand that once your business grows, you will become a target for the villains on the Martial Arts Alliance and the Thugs. If you lack the ability to protect yourself, death is your only fate because this martial world is one of the survival of the fittest.'
Before Yi Junsheng could finish his lengthy discourse, a master arrived at the Broadcast Tower seeking a bodyguard. The newcomer said, 'My name is Tang Young Master, and I am here to apply for the bodyguard position.'"
