The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Chapter 19: Wish Fulfilled
Inside the Ming Kong Residence, Huangfu Mingmo once again killed the cold-hearted Yi Zhangzhi in a fit of rage. As the sword shadows flickered, the essence of the sword reached a state of detachment, revealing a newly comprehended sword technique that showcased Huangfu Mingmo's advancement to a higher level.
Yi Zhangzhi, wielding his Dust Whisk, felt increasingly strained as he fought, facing perilous situations. Huangfu Mingmo wielded his sword with determination, his piercing gaze fixed on the swirling blade, driven not by hatred but by sheer will. The sword's energy surged forth as he thought to himself that the attack had been unleashed, directly targeting Yi Zhangzhi. Ming Lang Qian Kun felt guilty about Qiu Yuxia and held back three parts of his strength in his moves, but this guilt became a shortcut to failure. With one careless move, his robe was slashed by the sword energy, and the wound on his arm became more pronounced as blood slowly flowed out, pain gradually spreading throughout his body.
Huangfu Mingmo said, "If you do not show your true strength soon, the underworld will be upon you." With that, he unleashed another strike from his newly comprehended sword heart, an unmatched sword energy surged forth like a raging tide, intent on killing Yi Zhangzhi.
Yi Zhangzhi replied, "What can I do?" After speaking, he simultaneously channeled Buddhist and Taoist Qigong to break the sword energy. Two beams of Radiance pierced through the air, illuminating the Ming Kong Residence brightly. Just as Huangfu Mingmo prepared to unleash another ultimate move, Qiu Yuxia called for him to stop.
Huangfu Mingmo also wanted to hear about Yi Zhangzhi's misdeeds and temporarily sheathed his sword. Qiu Yuxia said, "Friend, my fate with Yi Zhangzhi has come to an end. I understand that you care for me deeply; you are my support from now on. Please take care of yourself. Yi Zhangzhi, you should leave now. From today onward, we sever all ties; I do not wish to have any relationship with you. Please go."
Seeing Qiu Yuxia's firm attitude, Yi Zhangzhi could only choose to leave the Ming Kong Residence. Huangfu Mingmo intended to pursue him but was stopped again by Qiu Yuxia: "Friend, do you want me to worry about you?"
Huangfu Mingmo turned around and looked deeply at the beloved person before him; a wave of happiness surged in his heart and lingered for a long time. Huangfu Mingmo said, "Friend, was everything you said just now true? I can hardly believe it."
Qiu Yuxia replied, "Finding someone who loves me is better than finding someone I love. I've come to realize that even if I do not love you yet, at least you care for me deeply. I believe that after spending time together, I will develop feelings for you. Therefore, I have decided to accept you." With that, Qiu Yuxia's face immediately flushed red.
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Mingmo walked up to Qiu Yuxia joyfully and lifted the beauty from her wheelchair, spinning around several times to express his excitement. At that moment, Qiu Yuxia tightly embraced Huangfu Mingmo's body, fearing she might fall. After a moment of celebration, Huangfu Mingmo gently placed Qiu Yuxia back in her wheelchair and held her hands tightly as he said, "Yuxia, I will treat you well; I will take care of you for this lifetime. Let us live here in seclusion from now on and no longer concern ourselves with worldly matters." He then squatted down and embraced Qiu Yuxia once more.
Tears of gratitude streamed down Qiu Yuxia's face as she said: "Once there was someone who loved me deeply by my side, yet I did not cherish him. After taking so many wrong turns, I finally realized it was all my fault. Mingmo, let us follow your words and live in seclusion here; we will create our own world together and no longer ask about worldly affairs."
Huangfu Mingmo was also deeply moved by Qiu Yuxia's words and kissed her forehead gently. It was Qiu Yuxia's first kiss in her life; waves of emotion surged within her as she felt exhilarated. Overwhelmed by feelings of affection, Qiu Yuxia took the initiative to kiss Huangfu Mingmo back. At that moment, Huangfu Mingmo felt as if he had entered a dreamlike state. The joy in his heart was indescribable as he held Qiu Yuxia even tighter in his embrace. However, Qiu Yuxia felt a pang of pain and let out a soft sound that snapped Huangfu Mingmo out of his reverie. Realizing Qiu Yuxia's discomfort, he carried her inside to rest.
Gui Gu Zi encountered Ke Chi Nian while returning to Canglong Cave and Lin Bao stepped forward to battle Ke Chi Nian. The cold sword energy filled the air as shadows danced alone amidst a demonic atmosphere that seemed self-destructive. Ke Chi Nian was a top martial artist; within just a few moves he defeated Lin Bao. Other disciples from Canglong Cave saw this and immediately drew their swords to surround Ke Chi Nian in a group attack. Ke Chi Nian unleashed Waves of Passion Technique once more; this time it carried lethal intent. The Inner Strength of Canglong Cave’s disciples could not withstand Ke Chi Nian’s Qigong and they were swiftly annihilated.
Gui Gu Zi suffered severe internal injuries. Seeing his disciples die tragically, he could only force himself to use his skills, unleashing the power of the demons. However, under many unfavorable circumstances, Gui Gu Zi was struck again, spitting blood and collapsing to the ground, unable to fight any longer. Ke Chi Nian: "I'll send you to reunite with your disciples." With that, he summoned a gust of air aimed directly at Gui Gu Zi. At this critical moment, Premature Aging arrived just in time with a life-saving Qigong, pushing Ke Chi Nian back several steps.
Ke Chi Nian said, "Who is ruining my good work? Come out and die!"
Premature Aging approached slowly, saying, "Is killing a good deed? Then I will do a good deed by killing you." With that, Premature Aging unleashed a horizontal wave of energy straight at Ke Chi Nian.
Ke Chi Nian gathered his Inner Strength, moving his hands swiftly to channel the energy into his palms for a powerful strike. The shockwave surged forth, shattering mountains and shaking the earth, causing landslides. Both combatants were pushed back by the force of their attacks. Just as Premature Aging intended to launch another attack on Ke Chi Nian, the demon noticed the newcomer’s extraordinary strength and quickly fled the scene to avoid mutual destruction.
Lin Bao helped Gui Gu Zi up from the ground and thanked their savior, Premature Aging: "Thank you for saving us!"
Premature Aging replied, "I did not save you; I merely passed by and disrupted someone else's good work. You should leave quickly; otherwise, I might have to do another good deed."
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao immediately took Gui Gu Zi away from the scene.
Murong Yaoxian arrived at the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, finding the inner courtyard empty. While she was puzzled, Yi Zhangzhi returned from the Ming Kong Residence. When the long-separated lovers met again, tears were inevitable. Murong Yaoxian shed heartfelt tears as she ran up to Yi Zhangzhi. He embraced her tightly, saying, "I've already dealt with the matter regarding Qiu Yuxia. You don’t need to worry."
Murong Yaoxian, crying, said, "I knew you would handle it well." She then held her beloved tightly, fearing he might leave.
Yi Zhangzhi said, "The mistress of this place will always be you; this is my promise to you."
Murong Yaoxian patted Yi Zhangzhi's body and asked, "Is this sweet talk?"
Yi Zhangzhi replied, "If you think so, then it is." With that, he kissed her forehead.
Murong Yaoxian lifted her head and kissed Yi Zhangzhi on the lips; it was their first deep kiss since they met. A sense of happiness blossomed in both their hearts. After kissing, Yi Zhangzhi held Murong Yaoxian tightly again. They stood together for a long time in that spot. At that moment, Dreamy Beauty emerged from the Inner Hall: "Yi Lang, I have dealt with the burden of Qiu Yuxia. How should you repay me?"
Yi Zhangzhi released Murong Yaoxian from his embrace and approached Dreamy Beauty, saying, "It's you, Master. I thought you had already left the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain. I didn't realize you were in the Inner Hall. Thank you for your help this time, but didn't I help you drive away Gui Gu Zi and Xia Zhouyi before? That should make us even. What kind of reward do you want from me?"
Dreamy Beauty covered her mouth and laughed, "I wouldn't mind becoming your concubine, as long as you are willing to take me in."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yaoxian interjected, "A woman like you, so promiscuous, doesn't deserve to stay here. I am the mistress of this place, and you are not welcome here. Hurry and leave." After saying this, Murong Yaoxian went to Dreamy Beauty's side and pulled her toward the door. Since Dreamy Beauty had no martial arts skills and was a weak woman, she could only be dragged out by the skilled Murong Yaoxian.
Yi Zhangzhi saw this situation and felt he couldn't intervene, fearing that Murong Yaoxian would misunderstand him, leading to more trouble.
Once outside the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, Dreamy Beauty shouted back inside, "You heartless man, Yi Zhangzhi, once you've crossed the river, you destroy the bridge. I guess Dreamy Consort misjudged you." With that, she headed towards the Drunken Red Mansion.
Inside the Ming Kong Residence, Qiu Yuxia proactively proposed to Huangfu Mingmo that they get married on the second day of next month. Upon hearing this, Huangfu Mingmo could hardly contain his excitement and lifted Qiu Yuxia into the air, spinning her around several times. "I, Huangfu Mingmo, am finally getting married! Should we invite the Martial Arts Community to witness our ceremony?"
Qiu Yuxia replied, "Mingmo, as the head of the family, if you want to invite them, go ahead. If not, we can just let the ground bear witness to us."
Huangfu Mingmo insisted, "No way! We are both among the Five Great Swordsmen of the Martial World. How can we not announce such an important event as our marriage? I think we should invite some fellow martial artists to come and witness it."
Qiu Yuxia: "It's all up to you!"
Meanwhile, Jing Ke and Hua Mulan left the Tongfu Inn, preparing to retreat to a hidden place. Shortly after they left the inn, they encountered Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head. Upon seeing Hua Mulan, Yi Junsheng launched an attack while Jing Ke drew his sword in response. Reverse Head joined in to assist Yi Junsheng, creating a two-on-two situation. During the battle, Yi Junsheng switched opponents with Reverse Head, who faced off against Jing Ke, while Yi Junsheng fought fiercely against Hua Mulan.
Once lovers now turned enemies, Yi Junsheng and Hua Mulan had become like strangers; only through battle could they vent their pent-up anger. With deadly chains of fate in hand, Yi Junsheng clashed with Hua Mulan, whose soul-seizing sword techniques matched his ferocity. Both sides refused to yield as they fought fiercely. Due to an injury sustained by Hua Mulan, prolonged combat was not in her favor; thus she unleashed her ultimate moves for a swift resolution. Lacking foundation in martial arts, under the impact of her internal energy, Yi Junsheng quickly fell into defeat.
Meanwhile, Reverse Head, who was attacking the injured Jing Ke, found himself at a disadvantage. Despite his injuries, as a top assassin, Jing Ke's swordsmanship remained sharp; he defeated Reverse Head in just a few moves. Not wishing to kill Yi Junsheng, both quickly took hold of Jing Ke and left the scene.
"Yi Junsheng: Damn it! This assassin from the Black Design Society is actually betraying me! I need to find the High President to get my silver notes back." With that thought in mind, he dragged his injured body toward the headquarters of the Black Design Society, known as the Gusu Palace. Reluctantly, Reverse Head followed along with him.
Sima Qian had been locked up in Sima Family Village by his father, Sima Guan, for a long time. He missed his wife, Hua Mulan, very much and often shouted in his room, asking the servants to let him out, but it was all in vain. Today, Bureaucrat Bu's daughter, Bu Xiuru, heard that her future husband had returned to Sima Family Village and came to visit, hoping to learn more about Sima Qian's character. Sima Guan, feeling obligated, could only let Sima Qian out of his room for Bu Xiuru to see.
Upon seeing Sima Qian, Bu Xiuru was immediately attracted by his demeanor and elegance, thinking that marrying such a person was truly a blessing she had earned over several lifetimes. However, Sima Qian did not even glance at Bu Xiuru and said, "I have a favor to ask of you, Miss Bu."
Bu Xiuru replied, "Of course, I will help with anything I can."
Sima Qian said, "I would like you to ask my father if we can go out for a while. I believe this is something you can manage."
Bu Xiuru responded, "No problem. I will go speak to Uncle Sima right away."
When Bu Xiuru approached Sima Guan with the request to take Sima Qian out for a while, Sima Guan was overjoyed and agreed immediately. Thus, Sima Qian left Sima Family Village with Bu Xiuru.
Once outside, Sima Qian quickened his pace to search for Hua Mulan's whereabouts, forgetting all about Bu Xiuru and not saying a word to her along the way. He had completely forgotten that there was such a delicate woman by his side. Bu Xiuru grew tired from walking, but Sima Qian continued on. At that moment, Jing Ke appeared before Sima Qian, holding hands with Hua Mulan.
Dreamy Beauty returned to Drunken Red Mansion. Tao Yuanliang was thrilled to see her return and immediately invited Dreamy Beauty to the VIP room. Just then, Mr. Daoban arrived at Drunken Red Mansion.
Tension filled the air. What actions would Sima Qian take upon seeing Jing Ke with Hua Mulan? What choices would Hua Mulan make? What were Mr. Daoban's intentions for coming to Drunken Red Mansion?
