The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Inside the Ming Kong Residence, Huangfu Mingmo was in a furious battle with Yi Zhangzhi. One was enraged for the sake of a beautiful woman, determined to eliminate the rival before her; the other found it hard to defend himself and had no choice but to fight back. The Sword God’s hatred surged from his heart, and he drew his sword, unleashing a wave of sword energy aimed directly at Ming Lang Qian Kun. Faced with Huangfu Mingmo's fierce sword energy, Yi Zhangzhi's figure flickered, and the Taiji heart technique came into play as he remained calm in response. The two fought fiercely, their clash echoing with the sounds of battle, startling even the spirits.
Seeing this, Qiu Yuxia immediately called out, “Please stop.” However, Huangfu Mingmo's mind was consumed by hatred, ignoring Qiu Yuxia's words and continuing to attack Yi Zhangzhi. Yi Zhangzhi, realizing that misunderstandings were deepening, reduced his power by fifty percent, making the fight increasingly difficult. When Qiu Yuxia saw that Huangfu Mingmo had no intention of stopping, she jumped into the fray, confronting Huangfu Mingmo.
With Qiu Yuxia joining the battle, Huangfu Mingmo became more cautious with his strikes to protect his beloved's safety. The situation gradually turned unfavorable for him. However, an idea struck Huangfu Mingmo; he shifted his attack towards Yi Zhangzhi while adopting a defensive strategy against Qiu Yuxia. In a moment of chaos within the room, just as Huangfu Mingmo aimed his sword at Yi Zhangzhi's heart, Qiu Yuxia stepped in front of Yi Zhangzhi. To prevent harm from coming to the one he admired, Huangfu Mingmo had no choice but to halt his attack. He asked, “Why are you doing this?”
Qiu Yuxia replied, “Mr. Yi came specifically to check on my injuries; is this how you treat your guests?”
Huangfu Mingmo defended his actions: “This man is a public enemy of the martial world; everyone seeks to punish him. As an enforcer of the Martial Arts Tribunal, it is only natural for me to punish wrongdoers.”
Qiu Yuxia said, “Mr. Yi is my lifesaver; I ask my friend to show some leniency this time.”
Huangfu Mingmo responded, “Since you have spoken up as a friend, I am not unreasonable. I will let this go this time; please leave now, Yi Zhangzhi.”
Just as Yi Zhangzhi was about to leave, Qiu Yuxia added, “Friend, Mr. Yi has just arrived and hasn’t had a chance to speak yet; isn’t it too stingy to send him away like this?”
In order not to ruin his image in Qiu Yuxia's eyes, Huangfu Mingmo could only agree to let Yi Zhangzhi stay. Mistakenly believing that Yi Zhangzhi also had feelings for Qiu Yuxia, he boldly decided to confess his feelings for Qiu Yuxia in front of Yi Zhangzhi as a warning that Qiu Yuxia was his and no one else could have any thoughts about her. Thus, Huangfu Mingmo presented Ninety-Nine Roses before Qiu Yuxia and declared: “My friend, I have long liked you. Whenever I don’t see you, my heart feels restless and uneasy; my longing for you is like endless rivers flowing continuously. I wish to hold your hand and grow old together with you. I want to protect you for a lifetime and ensure you suffer no harm.”
Upon hearing Huangfu Mingmo’s confession, Yi Zhangzhi coughed several times and said, “It seems that in this situation, it’s inappropriate for a cultivator to be present; I shall take my leave.” Before Yi Zhangzhi could exit the door, Qiu Yuxia made a decisive decision after hearing Huangfu Mingmo’s confession—wanting to avoid any misunderstanding with the Nightmare Demon who was actually Yi Zhangzhi—she said: “Friend, my heart already belongs to someone else; let’s just remain good friends.”
Huangfu Mingmo felt as if he had been struck by lightning upon hearing her rejection. Under the shock of reason colliding with emotion, he asked: “Is your heart belonging to this man before us—the sinner of the martial world, Yi Zhangzhi?”
Qiu Yuxia replied: “Friend, please calm down. My relationship with Mr. Yi is merely that of friends; do not overthink it.”
Huangfu Mingmo was blinded by hatred at this moment and immediately attacked Yi Zhangzhi, reigniting a battle of emotional entanglement. Yi Zhangzhi, helpless, could only defend himself. The two exchanged blows for several dozen rounds, leaving the room in disarray. Seeing that prolonged fighting was futile, Yi Zhangzhi leaped out, intending to escape the scene. However, Huangfu Mingmo would not allow his rival to escape so easily; he rushed out and unleashed a sword energy to block Yi Zhangzhi's path of escape. Outside the house, another fierce battle ensued.
The Sword God unleashed his vengeful sword strikes, determined to eliminate the martial arts sinner and love rival, Yi Zhangzhi. Ming Lang Qian Kun and Dust Whisk were wielded, as the Taoist Sect's pure energy transformed into the incoming sword energy. Following that, the Buddhist Sect's famous move, Compassionate Thousand Hands, counterattacked directly at Huangfu Mingmo. The Sword God's signature move, One Sword to Level the Field, was unleashed in anger, breaking Yi Zhangzhi's counterattack. At that moment, Qiu Yuxia flew out of the room with her sword, also attacking Huangfu Mingmo. Yi Zhangzhi saw this as an opportunity to escape but was thwarted when the Sword God first repelled Qiu Yuxia and then unleashed several sword energies to block Yi Zhangzhi. Seeing this, Yi Zhangzhi thought, "It seems that I can only exert all my strength if I want a chance to leave."
After dodging the sword energy, Yi Zhangzhi flipped his right hand and used the Magic Technique Shattered Corpse, No Bones Left to break free, unexpectedly striking at Qiu Yuxia. Huangfu Mingmo saw his beloved suddenly in danger and immediately gathered his inner strength to unleash a powerful move to resolve Qiu Yuxia's crisis. At this point, Yi Zhangzhi had already left Ming Kong Residence. Huangfu Mingmo said, "Friend, look at what your beloved has done to you; is such a person worthy of your affection?"
Qiu Yuxia retorted, "Mr. Yi is merely taking advantage of your psychology; I believe there is nothing wrong with this action."
Huangfu Mingmo sighed and said, "Love truly makes one blind!"
Inside Dreaming Medical Pavilion, Half Lion Man intended to assault Shu Heng when Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances stepped in to block him. Long ago, Half Lion Man had seen Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances before. Half Lion Man said, "It's you, the swordsman. Today I have come to take back my woman; please do not obstruct me."
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances replied, "Does a monster have the right to possess a woman?"
Upon hearing this, Half Lion Man was filled with rage and would not tolerate provocation; he lunged forward with deadly claws. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances drew his sword in response, determined to stop the lustful beast. A fierce battle erupted as they fought from inside the medical pavilion to outside. Initially exchanging probing moves for several dozen rounds, both sides tested each other before escalating into more intense life-and-death techniques. Half Lion Man had not enjoyed a woman's company for many days and was now desperate; he unleashed his ultimate move, Lion's Roar, aiming to defeat the obstructive swordsman in one blow. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances would not allow the monster to be so rampant; he summoned his dual blades and executed the famous move Dual Blade Death Strike to prevent the beast from advancing further. The two moves clashed violently, creating a rift in the ground and sending shockwaves for miles. Half Lion Man was slightly outmatched and was injured by the force.
The more blood he saw, the more his beastly instincts surged; his determination to seize beauty grew stronger. Half Lion Man unleashed his beast clan's ultimate skill again—Lion's Roar—instantly forming a massive lion made of air and clouds that charged down towards Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances. Faced with such formidable energy, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances did not dare be careless; with a flourish of his robe, he revealed his second weapon for the first time—two flying daggers shot forth from him with tremendous power aimed directly at Half Lion Man. After colliding with Half Lion Man's attack, the flying daggers prevailed swiftly and pierced through both of Half Lion Man's shoulders without hesitation. Half Lion Man was instantly wounded with blood gushing from both sides. Realizing he had lost his chance, Half Lion Man fled on all fours from the scene. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances declared, "Consider yourself fortunate; I will spare you this time. If you come again next time, there will be an extra monster soul in hell."
Shu Heng said, "Thank you for saving me once again."
