The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
In Wind and Rain Valley, the battle between the Martial Arts Community and the Eternal Sovereigns against the Lingxie Demon Domain is about to ignite. Premature Aging said, "Given the current situation, I need to reconsider whom I will assist."
Eternal Sovereign replied, "Premature Aging, do not forget that you are one of the Eternal Sovereigns. Is there really a need to deliberate on your choice?"
Premature Aging made a puzzled expression and said, "Aren't you Eternal Sovereigns treating me as a traitor? You have sent people to kill me multiple times, and now that I'm facing death, you remember me. How hypocritical! However, I do enjoy interacting with hypocritical people, so I will choose to help you in this battle."
Huangfu Mingmo declared, "Enough talk, let's kill." With a shout, both sides began their battle. Huangfu Mingmo pointed his sword at Premature Aging, determined to eliminate this unpredictable individual. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances faced off against Demon Among Demons and Evil Demon Reincarnation. The blade intent surged forth with fierce energy, leaving the two demons no chance to catch their breath. Xia Zhouyi confronted the electrocuted Eternal Sovereign; both were injured and fought cautiously, fearing that a single misstep could lead to their demise. Shu Heng battled Duanmu Chong fiercely; this was not their first encounter, and even their breaths were filled with hatred—this life-and-death duel would surely see someone fall. Liang Shanbo and the recovering Du Fu were entangled with their hated foe, Crane-Haired Youthful Face, channeling all their resentment into vicious techniques against their enemy. The room and Zhu Yingtai faced off against the whip master of the Eternal Sovereigns, Eternal Earth; the two in the room were unfamiliar with each other and struggled to cooperate.
Huangfu Mingmo, whose power had only recovered sixty percent, faced Premature Aging who was at full strength. Although his swordsmanship was exceptional, Premature Aging was not without skill. After several exchanges, Premature Aging's Qigong remained sharp while Huangfu Mingmo's sword edge had dulled by three parts; ultimately he was overpowered, injured and fell to the ground bleeding.
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances wielded his blade against the two demons with ease. Both demons were already injured and had endured multiple battles; they were no match for the energetic Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances. After dozens of moves, Demon Among Demons suffered severe injuries while Evil Demon Reincarnation's spirit was trapped within Supreme Blade's body, unable to exert even thirty percent of its power; this ordinary body was already riddled with wounds. The two demons retreated step by step as Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances pressed forward with the intent to rid the martial world of evil and force the demons' spirits out before killing them. Knowing Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances' intentions, the demons could only forcefully unleash their techniques in a desperate attempt to relieve their immediate crisis. Two powerful Qigong attacks surged towards Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances, followed by a swift counterattack from the demons. After blocking the Qigong attack, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances found himself exhausted from defense and thought: The strength of these demons cannot be underestimated.
Eternal Sovereign's right hand was electrocuted and could only use his left hand with a staff to counter Xia Zhouyi's blade attacks. Even though he was injured, thanks to Eternal Sovereign's profound Inner Strength, defeating Xia Zhouyi was an easy task. The sounds of clashing weapons echoed throughout the valley. As Eternal Sovereign channeled his Inner Strength, his staff gathered energy for a stunning strike aimed at Xia Zhouyi. Unwilling to back down, Xia Zhouyi spun his blade rapidly; however, his Inner Strength fell short and he was ultimately defeated and fell to the ground.
Shu Heng fought Duanmu Chong fiercely as the battle intensified. Although Duanmu Chong was injured, his ferocity remained undiminished; his techniques were equally ruthless and deadly. Fueled by rage, Shu Heng unleashed his signature move Half Lion Man—Lion's Roar in a fit of anger aimed directly at Duanmu Chong. Duanmu Chong retorted, "Is there still a surviving member of Daughter Clan struggling for breath? Take this!" With that declaration, he unleashed his signature move Galactic Destruction which shattered space itself as it struck at Shu Heng’s attack. The two techniques collided once more but Shu Heng’s Inner Strength proved insufficient as he bled out from defeat.
Liang Shanbo and Du Fu were locked in combat with Crane-Haired Youthful Face; their hatred ran deep as they glared at each other with clenched teeth while executing venomous techniques that threatened each other's lives—both were determined not to rest until they killed their opponent. Crane-Haired Youthful Face unleashed another technique intending to reduce Liang Shanbo and Du Fu into mere embryos. Liang Shanbo utilized his renowned technique from Confucianism—Killing Until Trust is Gone—to counteract evil methods. Du Fu also launched his poetic technique from his palm—a thunderous strike. The two techniques clashed in a thunderous roar that pushed all three back; this confrontation was evenly matched. At that moment, Du Fu's old illness flared up again causing him excruciating pain that rendered him unable to continue fighting. Seeing this, Crane-Haired Youthful Face laughed heartily: "Your illness has finally struck! Did you really think my medicine could sustain you for long? You are sorely mistaken; I still held back a hand—prepare to die!" With that said, he unleashed another Qigong attack directed at Du Fu. Liang Shanbo stepped forward to block the attack while engaging Crane-Haired Youthful Face alone; the situation took a drastic turn.
The room and Zhu Yingtai combined forces against Eternal Earth but were among the first to suffer defeat; they saw Eternal Earth wielding his long whip effortlessly attacking them from ten feet away with overwhelming force. Lacking any foundation in Inner Strength, they could only rely on high-tech means for combat but had very few weapons left—pistols shattered by whips, machine guns out of bullets, artillery long used up—leaving only an Electric Baton and devices for altering electromagnetic fields which proved useless against Eternal Earth’s whip attacks; thus they could only endure being beaten. Although Zhu Yingtai practiced Mengzi's martial arts, she had only learned superficial skills insufficient to contend with Eternal Earth. After several exchanges both fell wounded to the ground.
After half an hour of intense fighting between both sides, aside from Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances who remained uninjured, everyone else in Martial Arts Community had been wounded or defeated—their loss was inevitable. Even Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances sustained injuries under numerous assaults. On Summit, Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism intended to intervene and assist Martial Arts Community but Gui Gu Zi stepped forward to stop him saying: "Daoist Priest, as they say: 'Do not speak while watching chess or interfere while observing battle.' This is their destined conflict; why not let them resolve it themselves?"
Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism asked, "What do you prefer to be called?"
Gui Gu Zi replied, "I am Gui Gu Zi, the leader of Canglong Cave. May I ask your Daoist title?"
Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism: "Daoist Long's Demise·Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism. As far as I know, Canglong Cave rarely involves itself in the martial world. Now that the leader has come out of seclusion, you must want to achieve something. Your Wind and Rain Valley and the people of Martial Arts Community are destined to battle against the forces of Eternal Time and the Lingxie Demon Domain. This is not right. Both Eternal Time and Lingxie Demon Domain have always sought to dominate the martial world and realize their ambitions. You are part of the martial world and should maintain Martial Arts Peace!"
Gui Gu Zi said, "You are not wrong, but considering the current situation, we should not confront Eternal Time and others recklessly. The Time-Space Rift is sealed, which means that the backup forces of Eternal Time and Lingxie Demon Domain cannot reach us, and they cannot retreat to their old lair either. If we engage them now, they will surely resort to a desperate measure like Burning Both Jade and Stone, and we would suffer unnecessary losses."
Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism asked, "Are you saying that the Martial Arts Community of Wind and Rain Valley should be left to die at the hands of Eternal Time?"
Gui Gu Zi firmly replied, "Indeed. We should conserve our strength to deal with Eternal Time later. If we go to rescue them now, once Eternal Time achieves victory, they will surely press on and kill those who come to rescue. We cannot afford unnecessary sacrifices."
Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism said, "Are you afraid of death? If you won't go, then I will." With that, Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism prepared to leave, but unexpectedly, Gui Gu Zi stepped forward to block his path, preventing him from leaving the Summit. Eager to save others, Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism attacked Gui Gu Zi with his Dust Whisk, intending to clear a path. Gui Gu Zi, moving with heavy steps, struck back with powerful punches, sweeping his energy across to stop Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism. A fierce battle erupted between them on the Summit. After dozens of exchanges, neither side could gain an advantage, but this delay cost Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism precious time for rescue.
Meanwhile at Wind and Rain Valley, the forces of Eternal Time and the two demons surrounded the injured members of the Martial Arts Community, preparing to kill them on the spot. Suddenly, Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head, accompanied by members of the Clangorous Guard Team, arrived for support. Yi Junsheng: "It’s time for me to prove my worth. Clangorous Guard Team, rush in quickly and save everyone."
Seeing this, Eternal Time sneered, saying, "A clown like you is not worth killing." He then unleashed a massive wave of palm energy towards the members of the Clangorous Guard Team. There were several screams as more souls were added to the underworld; members like Clanging Rose were shattered into pieces in a horrific scene. Upon witnessing this, Yi Junsheng felt a chill in his heart and said, "Damn you, Eternal Time, you cold-blooded killer! I will never let you off."
Before Yi Junsheng could finish speaking, the attacks from Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances struck out in multiple directions towards both the forces of Eternal Time and the two demons, carving a path for everyone. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances: "Everyone retreat quickly; I will hold them off here." Following this command, members like Liang Shanbo rushed through the path opened by him while supporting the injured alongside Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head.
Demon Among Demons: "Leave this famous sword to me; you all go chase down those fleeing."
Eternal Time commanded: "Alright, everyone hurry up and pursue those escaping fish; we must annihilate them all." With this order given, the forces of Eternal Time quickly pursued after the members of the Martial Arts Community.
In the battle between the injured Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances and the one-armed Demon Among Demons, there was no exchange of words between the two opposing sides, only a deep-seated hatred. With both blades drawn, they unleashed the signature move, Dual Blade Death Strike, aiming to eliminate the Demon. The Demon Among Demons gathered energy with one hand and decisively executed the magical technique, Devour Living Beings, to counter the ruthless blade attack. A shocking sound echoed as both sides sustained new wounds. Fueled by battle fervor, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances revealed the ultimate demon-slaying move, unleashing sixteen flying daggers simultaneously while using the two long swords to shield them.
The Demon Among Demons steadied himself and summoned his true essence, activating the ultimate move, All Things Crushed, which circulated around him. The energy surged in all directions, shaking mountains with its might, aimed at killing the blade wielder. The overwhelming blade energy clashed against unmatched palm energy, causing day and night to dim and resonating with the earth. The rain in Wind and Rain Valley suddenly ceased, as this rare technique altered the balance of yin and yang in an instant. Both combatants were injured by the force of their attacks, but Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances's sixteen flying daggers pierced through the body of Demon Among Demons with residual force, revealing the specter escaping from within. Seizing the opportunity, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances unleashed a blade aura that ended the most arrogant evil of Lingxie Demon Domain, causing the specter to dissipate into nothingness.
