The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Within the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, Huangfu Ming angrily killed Yi Zhangzhi. The sword light was cold, the sword shadows swift, and the sword techniques ruthless, igniting a battle entangled in love. Yi Zhangzhi invoked Shadowy Mirage, Dust Whisk floated, and a powerful true energy surged from within, resisting the sword aimed at him out of love. The two were unyielding, fighting until the ground was dark and the divine realm trembled. At this moment, Qiu Yuxia spoke: "Friend, stop. I did not call you here to kill."
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhangzhi was the first to cease fighting, but Huangfu Ming swore not to relent until he killed his rival. Several powerful sword energies surged forth, heading straight for Yi Zhangzhi. At this time, Qiu Yuxia spoke again: "Friend, if you do not stop now, I will die before you." With that, Qiu Yuxia drew her sword from behind her wheelchair and placed it against her neck, preparing to take her own life. Seeing Qiu Yuxia threatening to die, Huangfu Ming halted his attack and walked back to her side.
After blocking Huangfu Ming's sword energy, Yi Zhangzhi asked: "What brings you both here?"
Qiu Yuxia stammered: "I just wanted to visit you."
Huangfu Ming loudly reprimanded Yi Zhangzhi: "Yi Zhangzhi, your friend is hurt because of you; shouldn't you take responsibility? I see my friend gloomy every day and cannot bear it. Although I like her, unrequited love is painful. Now I have come to terms with it; for my friend's happiness, I am willing to step aside and support you both." He choked up and shed tears of love that a man should cherish. After wiping his tears away, Huangfu Ming continued: "My friend has nearly lost her appetite and is heartbroken for you. The fact that you are healthy today is thanks to her risking her life to save you. Now you are with Sister Murong; can you truly repay your friend's feelings? I give you two choices: either die by my sword or marry my friend Qiu Yuxia and take care of her for life."
Qiu Yuxia tugged at Huangfu Ming's clothes, urging him to stop; she was very shy at this moment, her face flushed red. Before Yi Zhangzhi could speak, Murong Yaoxian interjected: "Mr. Huangfu, what you're doing is wrong; matters of the heart cannot be forced. Just because Autumn Maiden saved Mr. Yi doesn't mean he must marry her. Also, you genuinely like Autumn Maiden; don't you think it's a pity to give up so easily?"
Huangfu Ming's anger erupted: "Murong Yaoxian, be quiet; this is not your place to speak. Yi Zhangzhi, make your choice quickly."
Yi Zhangzhi replied: "Mr. Huangfu's ability to give up his love for Autumn Maiden is admirable. In fact, Autumn Maiden did change because she saved me; I have a responsibility to care for her. How about this: Autumn Maiden will stay here from now on, and I will take good care of her."
Murong Yaoxian's expression turned tense as she said: "Yi Zhangzhi, what do you mean? Do you want her to become the mistress of this place?"
Huangfu Ming responded: "What do you mean by staying here for you to take care of? That is what you should do; I want you to marry my friend. Only when she becomes your wife can I rest assured that you'll take care of her."
Yi Zhangzhi felt helpless and hesitated for a moment before saying: "What does Autumn Maiden think?"
Qiu Yuxia was too shy to answer; Huangfu Ming added: "I will decide for her."
Yi Zhangzhi said: "Since Autumn Maiden agrees, I won't delay any longer; let's choose a date for the wedding."
Murong Yaoxian felt her heart shatter upon hearing this; tears filled her eyes as she cried: "You want to marry her? What about me? You righteous Yi Zhangzhi! To repay a debt of gratitude, you're willing to forsake your own happiness? Just take good care of your Autumn Maiden." With that, she ran out of the divine realm in tears.
Yi Zhangzhi intended to chase after her but was stopped by Huangfu Ming who said: "What you need to do now is choose a date and prepare to marry my friend Qiu Yuxia. As for those unrelated people and matters, just ignore them."
Yi Zhangzhi also believed that he had deeply hurt Murong Yaoxian. Now that he was chasing after her, it was of no use; he could only stop. "Autumn Maiden, from now on, you will stay here. As for Mr. Huangfu, if he does not mind, he can also stay as a guest."
Huangfu Ming raised his left hand in a gesture of refusal and said, "No need. You just need to tell me when you will hold the wedding, and I will come then."
Yi Zhangzhi counted the days and said, "The second day of next month is suitable for marriage, so let's choose that day."
Huangfu Ming replied, "The second day of next month? Good, I will come then. Farewell." He then left the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain.
Yi Zhangzhi approached Qiu Yuxia to check her injuries and felt that her internal wounds had healed, but she had lost all her Inner Strength, and her legs had little chance of recovery. Qiu Yuxia asked, "Mr. Yi, my friend Huangfu Ming wants you to marry me. Do you feel troubled by this? Actually, I have no such intention, but since my friend cares for me and since we cannot be together, someone must take care of me. I am in this state because I saved you, and he insisted on my happiness as a reason for marrying me to you. I couldn't argue with him and came here with him. If you are unwilling, it is still not too late to regret now."
Yi Zhangzhi pushed Qiu Yuxia towards the Inner Hall as he walked and said, "It is I who have implicated you; I will not evade the responsibility that I should bear. As for everything else, you will be the mistress of this divine realm from now on."
Qiu Yuxia felt guilty about receiving Yi Zhangzhi's proposal in this manner, but upon hearing that she would soon become the mistress of this place, she felt a surge of joy within her. Although the person she liked was the Nightmare Demon, the Nightmare Demon was Yi Zhangzhi, and Yi Zhangzhi was the Nightmare Demon. This point was firmly etched in Qiu Yuxia's heart; thus, she believed that the person she was about to marry was the Nightmare Demon and that her happiness was within reach.
Xia Zhouyi led the members of the Famous Sword Society to Yun Yin Temple, where the new abbot Jie Tan personally welcomed them. Jie Tan performed a Buddhist greeting and said, "Amitabha! May I ask what brings you here with such a large group?"
Lin Bao replied, "We are here to capture the criminal Duanmu Chong. Hand him over quickly; otherwise, we will search the temple."
Jie Tan responded, "Did you not already take away Jie Zhan? Why are you still looking for someone here? Even if Jie Zhan could escape from your hands, he would not return here to wait for you to catch him."
Xia Zhouyi said, "Whether he comes back or not can only be determined after we search. Men! Search every room; leave no stone unturned."
The members of the Famous Sword Society replied, "Understood," and prepared to enter the temple to search.
Jie Tan immediately stopped them and said, "Wait! This place is a Buddhist Sect's pure land; how can you act so recklessly?"
Lin Bao retorted, "Buddhist Sect's pure land? I see it as a place harboring filth and criminals. If you do not step aside, do not blame us for being rude."
In the main hall of the temple, Duanmu Chong continued to chant scriptures and recite Buddha's name as an act of atonement. The Dharma Master urged Duanmu Chong to avoid drawing attention for a while; however, Duanmu Chong remained indifferent. The Dharma Master had no choice but to take off Duanmu Chong's robe and put it on himself before quickly running out of the hall. Inside the temple, Lin Bao saw someone wearing Duanmu Chong's robe running towards the back door and assumed it was Duanmu Chong escaping. Lin Bao hurriedly led his men in pursuit. Xia Zhouyi also rushed forward without thinking too much in order to capture Duanmu Chong as quickly as possible.
Dharma Master escaped from Yun Yin Temple, sprinting through the wilderness with extraordinary lightness of foot. Behind him, Lin Bao and others watched his gradually receding figure, feeling helpless and frustrated. Xia Zhouyi had slightly better lightness of foot and could keep up with Dharma Master, but could not catch him. At that moment, Xia Zhouyi recalled that Duanmu Chong had lost all his martial arts skills; this person with such excellent lightness of foot could not possibly be Duanmu Chong. Realizing he had fallen into a trap, he quickly turned back to Yun Yin Temple. This time, Xia Zhouyi was even more resolute. Upon arriving at Yun Yin Temple, he ordered an immediate search of the temple, determined to find Duanmu Chong. However, Jie Tan had already moved the penitent Duanmu Chong. The members of the Famous Sword Society searched every corner of the temple but found no trace of Duanmu Chong. Thus, Xia Zhouyi had no choice but to leave Yun Yin Temple with everyone.
Sima Qian and Hua Mulan, with the help of Jia Dao, prepared to return to Sima Family Village to live a quiet life. Jia Dao, being a good person, escorted them as they traveled together through the Martial Arts Alliance. At that moment, Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head blocked their path with a group of assassins. Yi Junsheng: "Everyone, now is the time to eliminate these three."
The assassins rushed forward upon hearing this. Jia Dao: "You ignorant ants, I will send you to Fengdu." He then shouted loudly, unleashing his Qigong towards the assassins. The assassins were not incompetent; they evaded the overwhelming force with agility. For a moment, Jia Dao's Qigong proved ineffective. Yi Junsheng aimed a long chain at Sima Qian, intending to kill the villain who had taken his wife. With no other choice, Reverse Head could only engage in battle with Hua Mulan.
Sima Qian, injured and unable to exert his full strength, faced perilous moments in battle. Seeing the unfavorable situation, Jia Dao resorted to his ultimate move, Drunkenly Lying in the Jianghu, One Awakens, unleashing a torrent of energy that struck at the assassins. Faced with this overwhelming force, the assassins could not evade and could only muster their strength to resist. Unfortunately, their inner strength was insufficient; several cries of agony echoed as lives were lost. Under the impact of this energy, both Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head were injured. Witnessing the brutal deaths of the assassins, Yi Junsheng: "You murderous demon, Jia Dao, I will expose your crimes to the world. Let's go, Reverse Head." With that, they quickly fled the scene.
Hua Mulan: "Jia Dao, why didn't you kill Yi Junsheng as well?"
Jia Dao: "Yi Junsheng is not someone who can be easily killed; while it may be easy to take his life, preserving my own would be difficult."
Sima Qian: "Are you worried that his brother, Yi Zhangzhi, will seek revenge on us?"
Jia Dao: "Yi Zhangzhi, though a martial arts celebrity, might take extreme actions if his brother is killed. At that time, you may not be able to retreat safely; there may be no place for you in the martial world."
Hua Mulan: "This lets Yi Junsheng off easy; we should leave quickly."
Within the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, although Qiu Yuxia was physically limited, she managed to keep everything in order through her strong willpower. When Zhuge Kongming and others from the Martial Arts Community arrived seeking to discuss matters regarding Yi Zhangzhi, Qiu Yuxia welcomed them. Confused, Zhuge Kongming asked: "Why is it you, Sword Immortal, here? Where is Miss Murong?"
Qiu Yuxia: "Oh, I forgot to mention; I am about to become Yi Zhangzhi's wife. Our wedding will be held on the second day of next month; you must come to witness it."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Kongming was overjoyed: "Really? Didn't Yi Zhangzhi like Yao Xian Gu Niang? Where is she now?"
Qiu Yuxia: "Why are you so happy? Why do you care so much about Miss Murong? Do you like her?"
Fan Buzhao: "This is common knowledge; now it's actually where Miss Murong is that concerns you most."
Qiu Yuxia: "Miss Murong, upon hearing that Yi Zhangzhi is marrying me, ran out of the divine domain. I currently have no idea where she is."
Zhuge Kongming immediately rushed out of the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain to find Murong Yaoxian. At this moment, Yi Zhangzhi had just come out of the Inner Hall. Fan Buzhao asked, "Mr. Yi, do you really intend to marry Qiu Yuxia?"
Yi Zhangzhi replied, "Yes. Now we should discuss how to deal with the situation."
Fan Buzhao said, "Indeed, that is also the purpose of our trip."
After leaving the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain with a heart full of disappointment and pain, Murong Yaoxian ran along the road. Midway, Ke Chi Nian discovered her whereabouts. How could he easily let this opportunity slip away? He swiftly moved and blocked Murong Yaoxian's path. "Isn't this Yi Zhangzhi's beloved? Why are you alone in this desolate wilderness? Today, you cannot escape my grasp, hahaha!"
Seeing her way blocked, Murong Yaoxian drew her sword and attacked. With a flick of his fingers, he caught the tip of her sword and said, "What Yi Zhangzhi cannot give you, I will take care of instead."
Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head arrived once again at the Black Design Society's Gusu Palace. President Gao Jianli came out to greet them. "So, White Face, have you come to your senses? I told you before that your matter is the hardest to resolve. The Black Design Society is only doing business with you because you are a long-time customer. Offering one hundred eighty thousand taels is already the biggest discount."
Yi Junsheng said, "Enough about how good the Black Design Society has been to me. Now I want to hire Jing Ke to eliminate Jia Dao and his two companions; you can keep the money." With that, Yi Junsheng handed over the banknotes to Gao Jianli.
Gao Jianli replied, "Since the money has already been paid, I will send Jing Ke to kill those three people."
Tension filled the air. What actions would he take against Murong Yaoxian now that he had blocked her path? Could Jia Dao and his companions escape from the ever-successful assassin Jing Ke?
