The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
After stealing the Living Dead Yamata Koji from Liu Ling Tavern, Yi Junsheng and others arrived at a swamp. Yi Junsheng instructed Porter to move Yamada Koji and throw him into the swamp. The place was eerie and the atmosphere was exceptionally strange as Yamada Koji slowly sank into the swamp. Moments later, Yamada Koji was completely covered by the mud of the swamp. Sanwei Daoist asked Yi Junsheng, "Why throw this Zombie into the swamp?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "This Zombie has caused great harm, especially in the hands of Medicine King Sun Simiao, where he has committed numerous atrocities. Moreover, he has a body of bronze and iron; blades cannot penetrate him, and palm energy is hard to injure him. For the peace of the martial world, I can only sink him here. You all must not let this matter leak out. Here are some Silver Coins." He then distributed all the Silver Coins to several Porters.
The Porters said, "We understand. If there’s nothing else, we will take our leave." They then left together.
Yi Junsheng and Sanwei Daoist also exited the swamp, but not far behind them, Eastern Proud Dragon and Sun Simiao had already pursued them. Sun Simiao, filled with rage, asked, "Damn White Face, where is my prized creation Yamada Koji?" Before Yi Junsheng could respond, Eastern Proud Dragon swung his axe and attacked Yi Junsheng. Sanwei Daoist waved his Dust Whisk to confront Eastern Proud Dragon. Seeing that battle had begun, Sun Simiao thought: I should capture Yi Junsheng first and then interrogate him slowly. Sun Simiao immediately launched an attack on Yi Junsheng, who drew out a giant pair of scissors to fight back against Sun Simiao. The two-on-two battle was extremely challenging for Yi Junsheng. After several exchanges, Sanwei Daoist was injured by Eastern Proud Dragon while Yi Junsheng struggled to fend off Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao said, "White Face, reveal Yamada Koji's whereabouts, and I might consider leaving your corpse intact."
Yi Junsheng retorted while attacking, "You’re talking nonsense." At that moment, Eastern Proud Dragon's Great Axe came crashing down, and Yi Junsheng found himself in a passive situation facing two opponents, his life hanging by a thread. With no other choice, Yi Junsheng feigned several moves and executed a strategic retreat by running away. Although injured, Sanwei Daoist was still able to run and followed after Yi Junsheng. Behind them, Eastern Proud Dragon and Sun Simiao relentlessly pursued them; Eastern Proud Dragon would not let such a good opportunity for revenge slip away, and Sun Simiao could not allow Yi Junsheng to escape without revealing Yamada Koji's whereabouts.
They ran and ran. Yi Junsheng and Sanwei Daoist headed towards Tongfu Inn; however, Eastern Proud Dragon and Sun Simiao would not let them escape so easily. Midway through their flight, they were caught up by Eastern Proud Dragon and Sun Simiao, and another fierce battle began. Due to his injuries, Sanwei Daoist fell within three moves while Yi Junsheng again found himself in a one-on-two situation. This time Yi Junsheng was not so fortunate; Eastern Proud Dragon attacked mercilessly with lethal intent. Yi Junsheng sustained multiple injuries and was bleeding profusely. Just when Yi Junsheng's life was in jeopardy, Sun Simiao made a surprising move by striking at Eastern Proud Dragon with a palm attack. Caught off guard, Eastern Proud Dragon was hit by the palm energy and spat out blood.
Eastern Proud Dragon questioned in confusion, "Damn Sun Simiao, what do you mean by this? Instead of fighting our common enemy, you sneak attack me."
Sun Simiao replied, "Foolish Tall Guy! If you kill Yi Junsheng, where will I find my Yamada Koji?" He then seized Yi Junsheng and demanded, "White Face, reveal Yamada Koji's whereabouts or I will not spare you."
Yi Junsheng said, "This is your condition; if you want me to reveal it, I need some assurance or I won't disclose where that Zombie is."
Sun Simiao asked, "What kind of assurance do you want?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "Kill this damn Tall Guy; otherwise it’s death for me regardless."
To learn Yamada Koji's whereabouts, Sun Simiao had no choice but to comply with Yi Junsheng's request. He approached Eastern Proud Dragon and prepared to strike him down with a palm attack. Although injured, Eastern Proud Dragon still had the strength to retaliate and picked up his Great Axe to swing at Sun Simiao. The two engaged in a life-and-death battle—one seeking revenge for his prized creation while the other fighting for his own life—neither could afford to back down. Their clash transformed the surroundings into chaos as they fought fiercely.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of their intense battle, Yi Junsheng and Sanwei Daoist quickly escaped. By the time Sun Simiao and Eastern Proud Dragon realized it was too late; they immediately stopped fighting and chased after Yi Junsheng together. Just moments ago they were engaged in a deadly struggle; now they became allies in pursuit—such rapid changes in the martial world were truly unexpected!
Yi Junsheng and Sanwei Daoist fled for their lives, arriving at Tongfu Inn a step ahead. The two quickly entered the inn, and then Yi Junsheng ordered food and drinks. Although he was injured in several places, they were all superficial wounds that did not pose a threat to his life, so Yi Junsheng and Sanwei Daoist calmly ordered food and drinks. At this moment, Eastern Proud Dragon and Sun Simiao arrived at Tongfu Inn. Eastern Proud Dragon said to Sun Simiao, "You go first. Once you find out the whereabouts of Yamada Koji, I will kill him."
Sun Simiao thought this made sense and rushed into Tongfu Inn to capture Yi Junsheng. Just as Sun Simiao was about to act, a sword energy shot in from the air towards him, prompting Sun Simiao to dodge immediately. Suddenly, a voice rang out: "No fighting allowed inside Tongfu Inn; violators will be killed without mercy." At this time, Yi Junsheng waved his feather fan with a smug expression and said, "If you want to kill me, come on! I'm just sitting here waiting for you to come and slaughter me, hahaha!"
Eastern Proud Dragon and Sun Simiao had no choice but to find a place to sit down and monitor Yi Junsheng, intending to act after he left the inn. However, Yi Junsheng sat there for several hours without any intention of leaving. After Yi Junsheng and Sanwei Daoist finished eating and drinking, Yi Junsheng made an unexpected move; he said to the Innkeeper, "Innkeeper, I plan to stay here for a while. Please take me to the Guest Room. Here’s one hundred taels; it should be enough for my stay." The Innkeeper took the silver note and led Yi Junsheng and Sanwei Daoist to the Guest Room. Eastern Proud Dragon and Sun Simiao were so furious that they smashed several wine cups. Eastern Proud Dragon asked, "What should we do now? Do we also have to stay here?"
Sun Simiao replied, "I intend to stay; whether you want to stay is your business."
Eastern Proud Dragon had few Silver Coins on him and could only leave Tongfu Inn to seek other means of revenge.
Under the moonlight, shadows danced as bloodshed occurred at Seaside Mountain View. Late at night, a masked figure quietly infiltrated Seaside Mountain View, killing several guards with a single palm strike before leaving. When Master Wu Sangui discovered that his disciples had been killed and intended to pursue the murderer, it was too late. Wu Sangui carefully examined the bodies of his slain disciples and found that they had all fallen victim to the Nightmare Demon's Magic Technique: Severing Tendons Without Harming Vessels. Wu Sangui said, "Damn Yi Zhangzhi! This must be revenge; I will go to the Judicial Court to find Chief Justice Bao. Let's see what Yi Zhangzhi has to say this time." He then headed straight for the Judicial Court.
Duanmu Chong emerged from Smoke and Rain, Absolute Flower, Eighteen Floors, preparing to head towards Northern Martial Arts to discuss cooperation with Half-Orc. On his way there, he was stopped by Abbot Celibacy Master from Yun Yin Temple. The Celibacy Master said, "Amitabha! Refrain from fighting; the sea of suffering is boundless; turning back is the shore. You cannot sink deeper into desire."
Duanmu Chong replied, "Master, you are mistaken. I am striving for Martial Arts Peace; how can I be sinking into desire?"
Inside the Half-Orc's base at Beast Den, Shu Heng, who had endured humiliation and carried burdens just to survive, felt that he had learned enough martial arts and intended to escape Beast Den to seek Duanmu Chong at Yun Yin Temple for revenge against his clan. Just as Shu Heng was escaping, his movements were detected by a Half-Leopard Man who pursued him relentlessly.
Tension filled the air as Celibacy Master blocked Duanmu Chong's path halfway; would he succeed in stopping Duanmu Chong? Another bloodshed occurred at Seaside Mountain View; Wu Sangui believed it was Yi Zhangzhi's doing and rushed towards the Judicial Court. What actions would the Judicial Court take against Yi Zhangzhi? Would Shu Heng successfully escape from Half-Orc's control?
