The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Du Fu gasped, "Li Taibai, this traitor of the Poetry Sect, has colluded with foreign monsters to kill everyone in the Poetry Sect. This traitor, scoundrel, sinner, beast, I will tear him to pieces today." He then dragged his injured body closer to Li Taibai, intending to strike at his spirit and end this sinner's life. Reverse Head immediately grabbed Du Fu to prevent him from committing murder. Yi Junsheng, knowing the ins and outs of the situation, was filled with righteous indignation. Seizing a giant pair of scissors, he took advantage of Reverse Head holding Du Fu back and swiftly cut off one of Li Taibai's ears. Li Taibai immediately cried out in pain as blood gushed forth.
Hearing the cries, Mengzi and others who were searching outside rushed to the confinement room and found Li Taibai and the others. Mengzi quickly stopped the bleeding and bandaged Li Taibai's wound, asking, "What happened?"
Yi Junsheng informed Mengzi of everything that had transpired. Mengzi replied, "Even if Li Taibai is guilty of heinous crimes, you cannot take the law into your own hands. For someone like Li Taibai, we should first focus on education. If he remains stubborn and continues to commit evil after that, it will not be too late to kill him."
Yi Junsheng asked, "Oh? Mengzi, just a few days ago you surrounded my brother and that cursed Duanmu Chong and killed them without hesitation. Why are you not educating them first but instead taking extreme measures?"
Mengzi answered, "Yi Zhangzhi and Duanmu Chong are the greatest enemies of the martial world. I have already given them opportunities; they did not cherish them, so I had no choice but to resort to force."
Yi Junsheng retorted, "Mengzi, you are truly something else. You want to educate when you want to educate and kill when you want to kill. Is that what your great harmonious world is all about—just you calling the shots?"
Mengzi was furious upon hearing this: "Yi Junsheng, please watch your words; otherwise, you will be the next person I seek to educate."
At this moment, Du Fu spoke up: "Everyone, Li Taibai is a traitor of the Poetry Sect; let me handle this matter."
Although Mengzi and others were dissatisfied, they recognized that this was an internal matter of the Poetry Sect and could not interfere; they could only agree to Du Fu's request. Mengzi said, "Now that the Half-Orc has withdrawn from the Central Plains, let us return to Confucius Academy." Thus, everyone left one after another. After all had departed, Du Fu revealed a sinister expression and then prepared to hang Li Taibai up for retribution.
Outside the Lyricism Sect, Half-Fly Man issued an order; the invasion by Half-Insect Man officially began. Half-Fly Man faced Ouyang Xiu, Leader of the Poetry and Rhyme Sect. Half-Fly Man moved at incredible speed; amidst his swift movements, Ouyang Xiu was already riddled with wounds. However, as the leader of a sect, Ouyang Xiu would not allow monsters to act so recklessly. Enduring his pain, he gathered his inner strength and unleashed his signature move—Fleeting Flurries—directly targeting Half-Fly Man. Facing this powerful palm energy, Half-Fly Man flapped his wings rapidly as his energy swirled quickly and fiercely charged at Ouyang Xiu's attack. Ouyang Xiu's inner strength was insufficient due to his injuries; he immediately spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
Half-Fly Man seized the opportunity to press his attack relentlessly like waves crashing against a shore, leaving Ouyang Xiu no chance to catch his breath. The unyielding willpower and determination not to let evil run rampant sustained Ouyang Xiu's already battered body in battle. As long as he had not fallen and still had a shred of strength left, he would fight until the end. Ouyang Xiu unleashed another signature move from the Lyricism Sect—Endless Regret—forming a surge of energy aimed at devouring evil as it rushed toward Half-Fly Man.
Half-Fly Man sneered: "Is this the last struggle of a fish trapped in a jar?" He then pointed with both hands while spreading his wings wide open; using his signature move—Devour Thunder—he unleashed a thunderous sound that echoed through the air. The two attacks collided once more; Ouyang Xiu fell defeated again just as he was struck down. At that moment, other Half-Insect Men had already eliminated all members of the Lyricism Sect while Ouyang Xiu himself was on the brink of death. Half-Fly Man ordered Half Butterfly Person to take the injured Ouyang Xiu to Insect Peak while other Half-Insect Men rested here awaiting further instructions from Insect Head.
Half-Beast Army returned to the Beast Den base of Northern Martial Arts after their defeat by the Poetry Sect. The Half-Dragon was furious, saying, "This battle against the Poetry Sect had too many unexpected events, resulting in the loss of two of our generals. Who knows who killed the Half-Tiger Man and that Invulnerable master?"
Duanmu Chong replied, "As far as I know, he is Yamada Koji, a prized creation of Medicine King Sun Simiao. This person was already killed by Yi Zhangzhi's Hua Ti Mian Dao Mo, and has now become a Zombie, only listening to Sun Simiao's orders. From today's situation, it seems that Yamada Koji has reached the level of a top master. We can exploit Sun Simiao. If we can recruit Sun Simiao for our own use, then Yamada Koji can be commanded by us."
The Half-Dragon said, "Let this matter be handled by the Half Lion Man. Go and take care of it immediately."
The Half Lion Man responded, "Understood." He then left the Beast Den.
The Half-Dragon asked, "What do you think about Yi Zhangzhi's feigned defeat?"
Duanmu Chong said, "At first, I couldn't understand it, but now I do. This is Yi Zhangzhi's plan of 'golden cicada shedding its shell.' Since he appeared on the battlefield while still being a Wulin Public Enemy, he first attacked you and Mengzi to drive you out of the Poetry Sect, fearing that you two would join forces against him. After the death of the Eastern Proud Dragon, he detonated an explosion to escape from the scene. He must have calculated your and Mengzi's return time. After the death of the Eastern Proud Dragon, our combat power was insufficient; with just Mengzi and others, he had no need to become a target on the battlefield."
The Half-Dragon said, "So that's how it is. How cunning of Yi Zhangzhi! If this person is not eliminated, he will surely become an obstacle to my ambitions as a Half-Orc."
Duanmu Chong replied, "Don't worry. Mengzi is also dealing with him; we can just wait and see how it unfolds."
The Half-Dragon said, "Everyone rest here; I have matters to attend to first."
Upon returning to the Confucius Academy, the group received news that the Half-Insect Army had already occupied the Lyricism Sect, and many disciples of the sect had been killed. Hearing this news, Mengzi was equally heartbroken, saying, "Just as one wave subsides, another rises. These two major factions of the Northern Martial Arts are truly despicable; I must eradicate them. Someone, set out for the Lyricism Sect immediately and drive out these barbarians!"
Dreamy Beauty made a gesture to stop him, saying, "Mengzi, everyone has just experienced the battle at the Poetry Sect, and they are all physically and mentally exhausted. Do you want your disciples to die in vain by going against the Half-Insect Army now?"
After thinking for a moment, Mengzi said, "You make a good point; I have not considered this thoroughly. Everyone should rest for now; we will head to the Lyricism Sect tomorrow."
The Sword God, Huangfu Mingmo, who had been recuperating at the Martial Arts Tribunal for several days, finally recovered from his injuries. Huangfu Mingmo prepared to return to his residence, Ming Kong Residence, to visit his friend and beloved, Qiu Yuxia. He bought ninety-nine roses at the market, intending to express his feelings to Qiu Yuxia, while repeatedly pondering over the words of confession on his way back. Just as Huangfu Mingmo stepped into his residence, he was surprised to see Yi Zhangzhi inside Ming Kong Residence. Believing that Yi Zhangzhi also had feelings for Qiu Yuxia, he immediately launched an attack on Yi Zhangzhi.
Meanwhile, the Half Lion Man, emerging from the Beast Den, did not immediately deal with Qu Xian Sun Si Miao but instead inquired about Shu Heng's whereabouts at the Martial Arts Alliance. After much effort, the Half Lion Man finally learned of Shu Heng's location and headed to the Dreaming Medical Pavilion. Having not tasted a woman's company for many days, he hurriedly rushed to the Dreaming Medical Pavilion. Moments later, he arrived at the Dreaming Medical Pavilion and found Shu Heng nursing her injuries inside. The Half Lion Man's lust surged as he charged towards Shu Heng, intending to indulge in her body. At that moment, a fierce blade aura swept through the air, targeting the lustful beast. The Half Lion Man quickly dodged, and Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances stepped forward slowly, saying, "Monster, you should not be here."
Tension filled the air. Inside Ming Kong Residence, Huangfu Mingmo intended to confess to Qiu Yuxia but unexpectedly encountered Yi Zhangzhi, who had just escaped from a battle with the Poetry Sect. How will this entanglement develop? Inside the Dreaming Medical Pavilion, the Half Lion Man aimed to violate Shu Heng while Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances stood up to confront him. Can he drive away the Half Lion Man?
