The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Chapter 16: Infatuation
In the solemn night, the hazy moonlight illuminated the interior of Canglong Cave. In the Guest Room, Left Eye Blind held in his arms the mistress of this place, Dreamy Beauty. Although Left Eye Blind was blind, he was acutely aware of Dreamy Beauty's every movement. He thought to himself: This person might be sent by Gui Gu Zi to test me. If I act improperly, I could end up dead on the spot; I must maintain my composure.
Dreamy Beauty asked, "Left Hero, what is the most suitable thing to do in such an atmosphere?"
Left Eye Blind stammered, "Of course, it is to compose poetry."
Dreamy Beauty laughed heartily. "I didn't expect Left Hero to be a person who appreciates elegance as well. However, Dreamy Consort believes that what we should do right now is to properly indulge each other. Don't you feel that Dreamy Consort has been burning with desire for quite some time?"
Left Eye Blind immediately replied, "How can that be? You are Gui Gu's wife, and I am a guest; please maintain your dignity."
Dreamy Beauty said, "Maintain dignity? Dreamy Consort looks down on your pretentious gentlemanly demeanor." With that, Dreamy Beauty's cherry-red lips pressed against Left Eye Blind's right cheek. Having never been kissed by a woman before, Left Eye Blind felt as if he had been struck by an electric current; an unknown excitement surged from his face straight to his brain, causing his entire body to tremble. After kissing Left Eye Blind's right cheek, Dreamy Beauty turned to his left cheek and delivered another electrifying kiss. Left Eye Blind was now drenched in cold sweat, unable to suppress the rising impulse within him, preparing to act improperly.
Dreamy Beauty remarked, "Men always try to hide their true feelings, not realizing that completely surrendering themselves in front of a woman is their original intention. When opportunities present themselves, you must not miss them; indulging yourself fully is what you should do most, Left Hero."
Stimulated by her words, Left Eye Blind completely lost himself. Desire had overtaken his previously steadfast consciousness. With Dreamy Beauty's relentless teasing, everything unfolded naturally. Left Eye Blind was physically impaired while Dreamy Beauty took the initiative. After an intimate encounter, the door suddenly burst open as Gui Gu Zi and Lin Bao rushed in. The two were caught in their actions; Dreamy Beauty was terrified while Left Eye Blind knew he could not escape this calamity. To fight for survival, he struck first—twisting his blade and unleashing several waves of blade energy aimed directly at Gui Gu Zi and the others. The group quickly dodged as Left Eye Blind hastily dressed himself again and unleashed another wave of cold blade energy towards those blocking his path.
Seeing Left Eye Blind engaging in such disgraceful acts with his wife, Gui Gu Zi felt humiliated and enraged; a storm of fury surged within him. He immediately unleashed a powerful move. Gui Gu Zi thrust both palms forward, channeling energy explosively; his ultimate technique, Qi Rising to Bloom, circulated vigorously within the confined space. The items in the room were swept apart by the force of his energy as it barreled toward Left Eye Blind. Pushing his Inner Strength to its limit, Left Eye Blind spun his blade and countered with All Things Crushed; the returning force clashed with Gui Gu Zi's attack. A thunderous explosion resonated within the room as Lin Bao and others were blasted out into the hallway, heavily injured. Gui Gu Zi's attack overpowered Left Eye Blind's blade technique, sending him crashing next to Dreamy Beauty as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Dreamy Beauty let out a soft voice: "Left Hero, are you alright?"
Upon hearing Dreamy Beauty express concern for Left Eye Blind, Gui Gu Zi's expression changed entirely; his anger flared even more as he launched another powerful strike aimed at these two lovers. Seeing this, Left Eye Blind immediately stood up; he dropped his blade and unleashed countless blade lights from its sheath to block Gui Gu Zi's attack before carrying Dreamy Beauty on his back and cleaving a path through the chaos. The force of their clash shook the room as smoke filled the air and visibility diminished; however, with injuries weighing him down and his Inner Strength depleted from earlier attacks, Left Eye Blind struggled through the turmoil and escaped from the room. With a leap that showcased extraordinary lightness skills, he vanished from Canglong Cave in an instant.
Once Gui Gu Zi saw that Left Eye Blind and Dreamy Beauty had fled after the mist cleared from the scene, he ordered his men to pursue them quickly while he personally chased after them—he could not let these two escape.
Left Eye Blind raced through the wilderness with Dreamy Beauty acting as his eyes. He said: "Beauty, please guide me on how to reach Famous Sword Society."
Dreamy Beauty replied: "Haven't you become a traitor to Famous Sword Society? Are we not walking into a tiger's den by heading there?"
Left Eye Blind said, "I haven't told President about my encounter with Lustful Man yet. I am still a member of Famous Sword Society, and bringing you back will surely make President happy. This way, I can also redeem myself."
Dreamy Beauty replied, "You see Dreamy Consort as your bargaining chip for survival; how can I trust you?"
Left Eye Blind responded, "Not at all. It is you who sees me as a tool to escape the clutches of Gui Gu Zi. We are using each other; don't be too calculative, beautiful."
Dreamy Beauty said, "Alright then."
Gui Gu Zi displayed the strength expected of Martial Arts Supreme, catching up to Left Eye Blind and the others in just a moment. A powerful palm strike aimed directly at Left Eye Blind, unleashing a torrent of true energy to kill the reckless woman, Dreamy Beauty. Left Eye Blind was severely injured, with less than thirty percent of his power remaining, making it difficult to withstand Gui Gu Zi's fierce attacks. With a scream, both fell to the ground. The unskilled Dreamy Beauty was struck by a palm and gravely wounded, while Left Eye Blind was also on the brink of death. Just as Gui Gu Zi intended to finish them off, Xia Zhouyi, Chen Liu, and others from Famous Sword Society arrived, combining their efforts to block Gui Gu Zi's lethal strike. Xia Zhouyi launched another attack against Gui Gu Zi, while Chen Liu and the others took Left Eye Blind and Dreamy Beauty away from the scene.
A fierce battle resumed in the wilderness, with Xia Zhouyi striking at Gui Gu Zi, who countered with his own palm attacks. The two engaged in a fierce struggle. After a moment, seeing that Chen Liu and the others had escaped, Xia Zhouyi decided not to linger any longer. He feigned several moves before retreating. After blocking Xia Zhouyi's attacks, Gui Gu Zi muttered, "That despicable Xia Zhouyi, daring to interfere with my affairs. If I pursue further, it will be within the territory of Famous Sword Society. I am outnumbered and cannot achieve anything; it is better to return to Canglong Cave and discuss how to deal with Famous Sword Society with everyone." Thus, Gui Gu Zi turned back toward Canglong Cave.
Once at the Famous Sword Society, Chen Liu and the others brought the injured Left Eye Blind and Dreamy Beauty back and immediately called for a doctor to treat them. Chen Liu said, "Left Eye Blind, you did well this time by capturing the wife of Gui Gu Zi, Dreamy Beauty."
At that moment, Xia Zhouyi returned and said, "What do you mean 'did well'? I see this as bringing trouble upon us at Famous Sword Society. For his wife, Gui Gu Zi will surely mobilize all forces from Canglong Cave. When that happens, it will be another bloody battle; is this something to be proud of?"
Dreamy Beauty interjected, "President Xia, it wasn't that Left Eye Blind captured me; I asked him to take me away from Canglong Cave. I could no longer endure the massive presence of Gui Gu Zi. Now that I have finally escaped from suffering, I hope President Xia will allow me to be with Left Eye Blind."
Xia Zhouyi replied, "You are truly an incorrigible seductress—married to Gui Gu Zi, yet now you fancy Left Eye Blind. Who knows when you might end up with Chen Liu! I will not make an enemy of Canglong Cave for someone so fickle; when Gui Gu Zi comes looking for you, I will hand you over."
Dreamy Beauty laughed heartily and said, "The esteemed President of the Famous Sword Society turns out to be a coward afraid of death. It seems I've come to the wrong place. Well then, since you dare not offend Gui Gu Zi, I shall take my leave." With that, she prepared to rise and leave the Famous Sword Society.
But Xia Zhouyi said, "You cannot leave yet; I must wait for Gui Gu Zi to arrive so that I have something to report. Guards! Make sure these two do not escape."
Chen Liu responded, "Understood."
In the Dreaming Medical Pavilion, Killer Yu Rang from the Black Design Society appeared coldly, his sword energy aimed directly at Hua Mulan on the sickbed. Just as death was imminent, Yu Yunhai's sword energy broke through the window, saving Hua Mulan from danger. The door then swung open, and Fengshan Sword Master Yu Yunhai entered with an imposing presence. Yu Yunhai said, "Who dares to come here to assassinate?"
Yu Rang did not respond, pointing his sword at Yu Yunhai, and a fierce battle broke out in Hua Mulan's hospital room. Yu Yunhai's inner strength was profound; although he wielded no named blade, he used his fingers as if they were swords, easily countering Yu Rang. After several exchanges, Yu Rang realized that Yu Yunhai's strength was unfathomable and decided to retreat. However, Yu Yunhai would not allow such an easy escape; a sword energy blocked Yu Rang's path. Seeing this, Yu Rang could only unleash a flurry of quick strikes, channeling his energy to fight for his life. Yu Yunhai swiftly dodged, gathering his strength in his hand and unleashing a powerful palm strike that shook the ground. Yu Rang barely managed to block it but was forced back several steps, blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Hearing the sounds of battle, other members of the Martial Arts Community arrived at Hua Mulan's hospital room to see what was happening. Fan Buzhao immediately recognized the intruder as Killer Yu Rang from the Black Design Society: "Isn't this Killer Yu Rang from the Black Design Society? Why does he want to kill Hua Mulan?"
At this moment, Hua Mulan had already been awakened: "Isn't this the doing of Yi Junsheng's White Face? He hired assassins from the Black Design Society to kill me along with Sima Qian and Jia Dao. The last person who tried to kill me was Jing Ke, but Jing Ke still had some humanity left and let me go. Now this Yu Rang has come."
Yu Yunhai continued to fight: "An evil organization like the Black Design Society should not exist in the Martial Arts Alliance; their assassins deserve death." With that, Yu Yunhai unleashed his signature move, Mind Realm Sword. Time seemed to freeze in that moment as life and death were separated for the two within that realm. A single strike severed Yu Rang's soul, and he died with resentment. In reality, Yu Rang had long since been decapitated, blood spraying three feet away in a gruesome scene.
Fan Buzhao said, "Yu Yunhai, you've gotten yourself into trouble; the people from the Black Design Society will not let you off easily."
Yu Yunhai replied, "If anyone from the Black Design Society dares to come, I will kill them—one by one or two by two; humph!"
As Fan Buzhao and others from the Martial Arts Community began to clean up the scene, Hua Mulan bowed to Yu Yunhai: "Thank you very much, hero."
Yu Yunhai said, "No need for thanks; just focus on your recovery."
Gui Gu Zi returned to Canglong Cave to prepare his forces to confront Xia Zhouyi at the Famous Sword Society. At that moment, a disciple from Canglong Cave reported that someone had posted a notice at Broadcast Tower claiming that Dreamy Beauty had strayed because Gui Gu Zi was physically unfit and unable to satisfy her needs. Upon hearing this, Gui Gu Zi was furious and struck down the messenger with a palm strike. Lin Bao said, "This matter has spread through the martial world so quickly; could it be the work of the Famous Sword Society?"
Gui Gu Zi replied, "No need for investigation; it must be Xia Zhouyi spreading rumors. He wants me to lose face in the martial world so he can take my place. Now I will go destroy his Famous Sword Society. Gather everyone; we set off."
Lin Bao and others responded, "Understood." Thus, a large force from Canglong Cave headed towards the Famous Sword Society.
President Gao Jianli of the Black Design Society received news of Killer Yu Rang's tragic death in Dreaming Medical Pavilion and was immediately filled with sorrow. When Gao Jianli informed Jing Ke about Yu Rang's death, Jing Ke was taken aback and asked, "Yu Rang was no weakling; who killed him?"
Gao Jianli replied, "According to the information from the scouts, the murderer is Yu Yunhai, but I believe you are the real culprit. If it weren't for your mercy towards Hua Mulan, Yu Rang wouldn't have taken your place on the mission, and he wouldn't have died at Dreaming Medical Pavilion. I hope you can regain your killer instincts; whether for the Black Design Society or for Yu Rang's vengeance, you should eliminate Hua Mulan and Yu Yunhai."
Jing Ke smiled and said, "A killer's life is all about killing. When someone is killed, it's just that the killer has met a stronger opponent; there's no hatred involved. However, I will complete the mission for the Black Design Society." With that, Jing Ke walked out of the Inner Hall, preparing to return to his life as a killer at Dreaming Medical Pavilion.
Before Jing Ke left, Gao Jianli reminded him, "Remember, a killer does not need emotions; any emotion is unnecessary. Otherwise, a killer is no longer a killer."
Gui Gu Zi led his men to Famous Sword Society. Xia Zhouyi went out to greet them, but Gui Gu Zi wasted no time and directly ordered everyone to attack. Xia Zhouyi had no choice but to order his disciples to defend themselves. Just as both sides were engaged in fierce combat, Tao Yuanliang spread rumors about Gui Gu Zi's poor health leading to Dreamy Beauty's infidelity and secretly infiltrated Famous Sword Society with many guards from Drunken Red Mansion and lecherous martial artists, intending to reclaim Dreamy Beauty.
Inside Famous Sword Society, Left Eye Blind and Dreamy Beauty were severely injured and could only surrender when faced with Tao Yuanliang and his group. Tao Yuanliang said, "This Left Eye Blind is an important figure in Famous Sword Society; we can take him away and use him as a hostage to threaten Xia Zhouyi." Thus, the guards bound Left Eye Blind and took him out of Famous Sword Society.
Jing Ke boldly arrived at Dreaming Medical Pavilion with the intention of restoring his former killer persona through murder. Yu Yunhai stepped forward again, glaring at the number one killer. Jing Ke asked, "Are you the one who killed Yu Rang? Let me see your skills."
Yu Yunhai replied, "Very well; I also want to know what abilities a killer who has never missed possesses."
Tension filled the air. Tao Yuanliang's spreading of Gui Gu Zi's scandal triggered a battle between Canglong Cave and Famous Sword Society. Would he successfully bring Dreamy Beauty out of Famous Sword Society? Outside Dreaming Medical Pavilion, who would suffer defeat between Fengshan Sword Master Yu Yunhai and the number one killer?
