The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
In the wilderness, the Black Tribe's Lord of the Abyss, Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si, and Buddhist High Monk Dao Rulai were on the verge of battle. The Warden said, "Bald donkey, do you really think you can shake a tree with just your own strength?"
Dao Rulai replied, "Amitabha, if I do not enter hell, who will?"
Lingering Smoke and Soul-Devouring were the first to attack; they launched fierce assaults on Dao Rulai. Dao Rulai turned his Dharma Wheel and responded coldly. The evil techniques were extremely vicious and fierce; Dao Rulai remained unperturbed, responding with calmness and depth. Seeing that their prolonged attacks were ineffective, the two evil beings decided to risk their true essence to unleash their ultimate moves against Dao Rulai. Upon seeing this, Dao Rulai urged his Inner Strength; a Sarira above his head shone brightly, soaring into the sky. Suddenly, winds rose and clouds surged, shaking mountains and rivers. Then a Buddhist Sect Swastika Seal emerged from Dao Rulai's head. The Swastika Seal trapped Lingering Smoke and Soul-Devouring, gradually refining their Inner Strength.
Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si saw his subordinates being restrained and suddenly struck out. A Universal Strike surged towards Dao Rulai, who countered with Compassionate Thousand Hands. When the two techniques collided, the ground sank several feet deep, and the residual force devastated everything within a mile radius. Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si stepped back a few paces; however, Dao Rulai remained completely unmoved. Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si said, "A bald donkey with deep foundations; we will have another chance to meet." He then struck at the Swastika Seal to rescue the two evil beings. The Warden ordered, "All troops retreat." The Black Tribe's evil beings vanished like shadows.
Dao Rulai said, "In the face of countless calamities, this poor monk can only do his best."
After Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si returned to Yama Hall, Lingering Smoke asked, "Who is this monk? Why is he so powerful?"
The Warden replied, "I do not know either; this person's identity needs further investigation. However, judging by the number of Sarira above his head, he must have at least a thousand years of cultivation."
Soul-Devouring added, "Indeed, each Sarira requires two cycles of sixty years to form; he has at least ten Sarira above his head."
Lingering Smoke exclaimed, "There are actually people who can live for a thousand years! This is unimaginable!"
The Warden said, "When martial arts cultivation reaches the human realm, the length of life becomes meaningless for a martial artist."
Lingering Smoke asked, "Does Warden mean that when one's martial arts reach the human realm, one can achieve Eternal Life?"
The Warden replied, "Exactly!"
Soul-Devouring inquired, "May I ask Warden, what level constitutes the human realm?"
The Warden explained, "There is no fixed standard for the human realm but there is a certain baseline. On Rock Peak there is a Test Stone; the baseline for reaching the human realm is being able to drive a goose feather ten inches into the Test Stone with one's cultivation. Meeting this condition does not necessarily mean one has reached the human realm; it merely indicates one is infinitely close."
Soul-Devouring said, "If someone drives a goose feather into the Test Stone for more than ten inches, does that mean their cultivation has reached the human realm?"
Warden replied, "Not necessarily. Driving a goose feather ten inches is a necessary condition for the human realm, but not a sufficient one. As for what the sufficient condition is, I do not know. Anyway, hurry and send someone to investigate that monk, and pay close attention to the movements of Purple Twelve Hours."
Soul-Devouring responded, "Understood."
At the Tea House, Qin Se Pi Pa spoke astonishing words. Sanwei Daoist was drenched in cold sweat, stammering, "Y-young man, please don't misunderstand; I have no other intentions. I just wanted to see your... your instrument."
Qin Se Pi Pa asked, "Are you done?"
Sanwei Daoist replied, "I'm done."
Qin Se Pi Pa murmured, "Now that you've finished your last words, die." With that, Death Lament echoed.
The crowd at the Tea House suffered collateral damage; under the high-decibel melody, only a few screams were heard as the second-rate individuals were shattered to death. Seeing this, Sanwei Daoist said, "You murderous demon are truly wicked. Today I will eradicate you, the cancer of the martial world; take this." With that, Sanwei Daoist spat out True Fire, burning towards Qin Se Pi Pa.
Qin Se Pi Pa leaped back several feet; with a sudden burst of Qin Yin, the airflow swept through and extinguished the True Fire. Not allowing the evil to be so rampant, Sanwei Daoist quickly urged his true essence and executed his ultimate move: Xuan Liu Kai Ying; a stream of air in the form of a Taiji Bagua Diagram surged towards Qin Se Pi Pa. Qin Se Pi Pa plucked three strings in resonance to counter it, causing the earth to shake and tremble. Just as both sides were in fierce battle, heavy rain suddenly poured down from above. Not far away, a figure holding a paper umbrella walked over. A sword aura dispersed the battlefield as Umbrella Holder said, "Qin Se Pi Pa, you will pay for your actions."
Seeing the situation turn into two against one, Qin Se Pi Pa put away his instrument and slowly walked towards Umbrella Holder. In that fleeting moment of crossing paths, their hateful gazes locked onto each other without diminishing. The departing figures grew more blurred as their hatred deepened.
Suddenly, the heavy rain stopped. Sanwei Daoist wondered aloud, "I see you two have great enmity; why not join me in taking down this demon? Look at how tragic everyone's deaths are."
Umbrella Holder replied, "This person is mine; I will make him pay. It is not yet time."
Sanwei Daoist said, "If now is not the time, then when will be? As long as this murderous demon exists in this world, more people will suffer. By the way, who are you? How did you come to have enmity with him?"
Umbrella Holder answered, "My name is Three Hands. Both Qin Se Pi Pa and I are from the Awakening Sea Music Academy. He is a traitor while I am an Executor."
Sanwei Daoist carefully examined Three Hands, saying, "Three Hands? Why can’t I see your third hand? At first glance, you look like an ordinary person."
Three Hands said, "My abilities are beyond your comprehension. Recently, you should avoid Qin Se Pi Pa to prevent disaster. I have other matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave; please."
Sanwei Daoist: "Farewell, safe travels."
Reverse Head applied Bone Flower on Half-Face Beauty's face, and after a moment, a terrible scream erupted; Half-Face Beauty felt excruciating pain on her face and attempted to reach out. At that moment, Reverse Head quickly seized Half-Face Beauty's hands and said, "This is a normal reaction; do not grab, or you will leave scars on your face."
Present at the scene, Yi Junsheng remarked, "With your head turned around, you really know a lot."
Reverse Head replied, "I am also quite knowledgeable, a high-ranking person!"
After a moment passed, the sores on Half-Face Beauty's face gradually fell away. A stunningly beautiful face gradually revealed itself before Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head; seeing this made Yi Junsheng drool with desire. His gaze remained fixed on Half-Face Beauty's face as he said, "Half-Face Beauty, I think you should stop being called Half-Face Beauty, and instead be called Full-Face Beauty."
Half-Face Beauty responded, "Young master jokes. Right now, I am just an ordinary woman; I hope everything goes smoothly in the future."
Yi Junsheng: "Don't worry, Full-Face Beauty. With me, Saipan An, by your side, no one can harm you. I will protect you."
All of Yi Junsheng's words and actions revealed his growing lust. Reverse Head pulled Yi Junsheng aside and said, "That knife is above the heart's desires."
