The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
In the wilderness, Premature Aging intended to tease Shu Heng, and Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances drew his sword in response. Premature Aging remained unconcerned and said, "Sword wielder, do you know why you draw your sword?"
Hearing the elderly voice of Premature Aging, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances felt a sense of doubt, but the person before him was handsome. He believed that only by teaching this reckless youth a lesson could he make him understand what he should and should not do. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances unleashed a burst of sword energy aimed directly at the newcomer. Premature Aging leaped into the air, dodging the sword light, and said, "Reckless people are often the least deserving of sympathy."
Premature Aging gathered his energy, and leaves began to float in the air around them. In an instant, the drifting leaves transformed into blades, rushing towards Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances. Faced with this unprecedented technique, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances' sword spun like thunder, shaking the heavens. With one strike, the leaves fell to the ground, and the energy dissipated. Seeing this, Premature Aging remarked, "Sword wielder, struggling will only bring you more pain." After saying this, he unleashed a cynical technique—Mao Diao's Grievance—causing waves of sorrowful sounds to erupt around them, resembling countless sharp blades slicing through the air. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances wielded both swords simultaneously; bending his knees and thrusting his swords into the ground, he pushed off with all his strength and leaped into the air. In midair, their swords clashed, creating a whirlwind of energy as he executed his ultimate move—Double Blade Death Removal. The two techniques collided amidst flying leaves and swirling dust. In the aftermath of their clash, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances was struck down for the first time, kneeling on the ground and spitting out blood.
Premature Aging clapped his hands and said, "Sword wielder, you must be very disappointed. The weak have no choice but to submit; otherwise, they are left with nothing but despair. I wonder if you have the courage for that? Hahaha!" With that, he rushed towards Shu Heng. However, Shu Heng was not someone to be easily defeated; he unleashed his Half-Orc secret techniques in anger against Premature Aging. Yet how could a spark compete with the brilliance of the sun? With a light strike of his palm, Premature Aging broke through Shu Heng's techniques and knocked him to the ground. In an instant, Premature Aging was already before Shu Heng. He gathered energy in his right hand; steam rose from his palm as he struck downwards, knocking Shu Heng unconscious. Just as Premature Aging picked up the beauty in his arms, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances struggled to rise again as a wave of sword energy rushed towards him. But before it could reach him, Premature Aging was even faster; in an instant, both had vanished from Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances' sight while the sword energy severed several large trees.
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances intended to pursue them but found that Premature Aging's whereabouts had already become a mystery after taking Shu Heng away. He said, "Today I have failed; from now on I shall be known as Heroic Blade Seventeen Vengeances."
Outside Tongfu Inn, Fengshan Sword Master Yu Yunhai challenged Sword Saint Murong Mulong. Since Yu Yunhai had lost his sword, he used his hand as a sword instead. To avoid taking advantage of him, Murong Mulong also kept his famed Mogan Sword sheathed. As their gazes locked, the battle commenced. Yu Yunhai focused energy into his fingers and transformed it into power in his palm; he quietly launched a shocking first strike towards Murong Mulong. The Sword Saint remained motionless as the wind blew through his hair; an aura of endless sword intent began to brew around him while waiting for Yu Yunhai's attack to arrive. With the first strike, it was evident that objects near Murong Mulong were destroyed by Yu Yunhai's sword energy while Murong Mulong himself stood unmoved. Watching from nearby, Moonflower Girl was already sweating profusely with a tense expression and clenched fists.
Yu Yunhai simultaneously channeled energy through both hands and moved swiftly until he stood before Murong Mulong in an instant. The Sword Saint's true energy flowed throughout his body before converging entirely into both palms as they clashed together. In their second exchange of Inner Strengths, cracks appeared on the ground beneath them due to their immense power. Moments later, Murong Mulong pushed with force; both were simultaneously repelled three steps back with neither gaining an advantage.
In their third exchange, both unleashed their mental swords simultaneously, creating a powerful pressure between them. As their desire for victory intensified, the airflow between them shifted dramatically until two opposing forces formed in confrontation. A sound explosion echoed across the battlefield announcing the outcome of this decisive battle: Yu Yunhai was wounded by Murong Mulong's mental sword and immediately spat blood. At that moment, Moonflower Girl rushed towards Yu Yunhai to support him. Murong Mulong stated coldly: "This is why you have failed."
Yu Yunhai looked silently at Yuehua's anxious expression and gently removed her hand from him before slowly leaving Tongfu Inn. Yuehua cried out: "I am worried about you too!" With that she followed after Yu Yunhai.
At the old site of Liu Ling Tavern, Yi Zhangzhi launched an attack against Liu Yi who was absorbing nutrients when suddenly Consciousness Corps emerged from underground preparing to attack Yi Zhangzhi. Yi Zhangzhi was well-prepared; Dust Whisk was planted behind him as he readied his technique to refine consciousness while waiting for Consciousness Corps' assault. At this moment Liu Yi and Old Witch finished absorbing nutrients and effortlessly neutralized Yi Zhangzhi's surprise attack with a single palm strike. Liu Yi commanded Consciousness Corps to stop attacking Yi Zhangzhi while Liu Yiyan remarked: "Ming Lang Qian Kun! Since you have mastered refining consciousness techniques, you are indeed impressive. But no matter how much you struggle against God of Consciousness, it will lead to your demise. If you know what’s good for you, leave quickly; otherwise God of Consciousness will send you a ticket straight to hell."
Yi Zhangzhi replied: "Oh? God of Consciousness? I want to see what he's like." After saying this he struck out with a palm infused with thunderous power towards Liu Yi and Old Witch. Suddenly a voice rang out: "Presumptuous!" Accompanying it was a devastating technique that surged forth with overwhelming power; upon arrival it obliterated Yi Zhangzhi's palm energy while sending him flying dozens of miles away from Liu Ling Tavern.
After flying away from Liu Ling Tavern, Yi Zhangzhi sustained minor injuries and said, "The God of Consciousness is indeed formidable; he hasn't even shown himself yet and has already made his presence felt. It seems he is the number one enemy in the martial world!" He then headed towards Smoke and Rain, Absolute Flower, Eighteen Floors.
Yi Junsheng and others brought the suffering Du Fu to Dreaming Medical Pavilion. The Divine Doctor examined his condition and said, "When did Du Fu become a lab rat? This is a side effect caused by the medication, and it is difficult to treat. For now, I can only temporarily suppress his pain." Following this, Zhang Chongqing took out a calming health pill for Du Fu to take. After a moment, Du Fu's symptoms improved.
Yi Junsheng privately discussed with Zhang Chongqing, "You need to think of a way to cure my kidney deficiency quickly; otherwise, I will ruin your reputation."
Zhang Chongqing replied, "In that case, I can only tell you one method. You need to find Sun Simiao's relatives and get their consent to donate a kidney to you; otherwise, I won't help you."
Upon hearing this, Yi Junsheng became furious, "Isn't that the same as saying it's impossible? What relatives does Medicine King Sun Simiao have? Where am I supposed to find his relatives?"
Zhang Chongqing said, "That's your problem. I've given you the method; if you can't find them, don't come asking me for treatment."
Yi Junsheng declared, "Fine! For the sake of my happiness in the second half of my life, even if I have to search through the entire martial world, I will find Medicine King Sun Simiao's relatives. Hmph."
Premature Aging captured Shu Heng and took her to an uninhabited cave. He said, "Why are you so beautiful? Don't you know that beauty is the root cause of enticing others into crime? Don't be alarmed; I won't destroy this root cause. I just think we are a perfect match. Why not become my woman? I will definitely cherish you like a precious flower!"
Shu Heng replied, "Who are you? Why do you speak such nonsensical things? Why does your voice sound like that of an old man?"
Premature Aging lost interest in Shu Heng shortly after she asked those questions and let her go. He said, "I've thought it over; a flower like you shouldn't be wasted in my hands. You may leave." Upon hearing this, Shu Heng immediately fled the cave. After walking a mile and realizing Premature Aging did not pursue her, she felt much relieved and said, "This strange person is truly hard to grasp!"
Outside the cave, Premature Aging began to regret letting Shu Heng go. Just as he was about to voice his absurd thoughts, the Crane-Haired Youthful Face arrived on orders to clean up the mess. Crane-Haired Youthful Face said, "Traitor Premature Aging, the Supreme Lord has ordered me to take your life; awaken yourself."
Premature Aging replied, "Betrayal is relative to trust; when have you ever trusted me? When did I become a traitor? Hahaha! Even the Eternal Sovereign must show me some respect in front of me; what are you? Rebel Crane-Haired Youthful Face, let me end your miserable life." Saying this, Premature Aging struck first with a palm aimed at Crane-Haired Youthful Face. Crane-Haired Youthful Face gathered energy into his palm and blocked the attack but was injured due to insufficient inner strength. At that moment, Premature Aging added, "This time I kill you on behalf of Du Fu; let you taste the flavor of pain." Another powerful palm struck towards Crane-Haired Youthful Face.
Crane-Haired Youthful Face said, "You truly deserve to be the Anomaly of eternal years. No wonder you have become a thorn in the side of the Lord of Eternity. However, you will not survive today." With that, he soared into the air, dodging the palm energy, and unleashed the technique of returning to youth once more, aiming to defeat Premature Aging.
Premature Aging let out a light laugh and replied, "Rampancy must consider its target; otherwise, your reckless words will become your funeral chant. I don't mind being your escort to the afterlife." After speaking, he gathered Qigong in his right hand and struck coldly, breaking through Crane-Haired Youthful Face's technique. Crane-Haired Youthful Face was seen slowly descending from mid-air, blood spurting from his mouth, clearly suffering severe injuries.
At this moment, Premature Aging showed no interest in continuing the fight and said, "You are truly fortunate. Next time we meet, I will definitely resolve you in one move. But seeing your failure brings me much joy. Why must people always learn lessons from failure?" He then left the scene.
Crane-Haired Youthful Face covered his wound and remarked, "This person can be considered the first true anomaly."
After escaping from Premature Aging's clutches, Shu Heng found the injured Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances. He saw Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances silently standing at the site of defeat, with a disappointed gaze and an unwilling expression on his wounded body. Shu Heng felt pain in his heart as he approached Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances and said, "Victory and defeat are common occurrences in battle; you need not take it to heart."
Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances replied, "This is my first defeat since entering the martial world. You say I need not take it to heart? How can that be? I must wash away this humiliation. From now on, you shall call me Heroic Blade Seventeen Vengeances so that I may always remember today's defeat."
Shu Heng said, "Very well, Heroic Blade Seventeen Vengeances. Now that you are injured, let's go to the Dreaming Medical Pavilion to recuperate." With that, Shu Heng supported Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances as they headed towards the Dreaming Medical Pavilion.
