The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Murong Yaoxian said, "Then I won't be polite. I have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave. Gentlemen, please enjoy yourselves." After saying this, she turned and left. Soon, a graceful figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Yi Junsheng angrily said, "A Brush of Ink Zhang Qian, your actions have provoked my killing intent. That piece of paper was mine; why did you give it to Miss Murong without asking me?"
Zhang Qian replied, "It's just A Piece of Paper. I'll compensate you for it."
Yi Junsheng said, "Can you afford it? That paper had a beauty on it—my beauty." Yi Junsheng then began to sob softly.
Sanwei Daoist: "Yi, what are you worried about? Sister Murong is still here in Murong Manor. Is the real person not better than the painting?"
Yi Junsheng leaned closer to Sanwei Daoist: "Sanmei Daoist, you're rambling again; the real person belongs to me!"
Sanwei Daoist: "This... this..."
The martial arts masters present, swordsmen and knife-wielders, introduced themselves and got to know each other. A tall man holding a Great Axe said, "I am Eastern Dragon, who split the river with the Great Axe. Greetings to all." The crowd bowed, and Zhang Qian said, "So it's the esteemed gentleman who once cleaved the river beneath Hengfeng Mountain to redirect water upstream. I've long admired you."
Eastern Dragon replied, "You're too kind."
Yi Junsheng remarked, "This gentleman is really tall, and that axe is truly massive. Do you really need one that big?"
Eastern Dragon retorted, "Your face is too shameful to show; how are you any different from a scoundrel?" He then released the Great Axe, which fell towards Yi Junsheng. Unable to dodge in time, Yi Junsheng was struck by the axe and found himself unable to move. He struggled to lift the Great Axe, but it was too heavy and did not budge. Yi Junsheng shouted loudly, "Sanmei Daoist, come help me!"
Just as Sanwei Daoist was about to assist in lifting the Great Axe, Eastern Dragon spun his hand, causing the Great Axe to rise in response. Eastern Dragon said, "You incompetent fool dare to come here and embarrass yourself."
Yi Junsheng stood up, furious.
At that moment, another voice said, "I am All-Round Talent, Zhuge Kongming." Zhang Qian responded, "So it's the eldest son of the Zhuge family; my apologies."
Zhuge Kongming: "You're too kind."
Yi Junsheng asked, "The Zhuge family? Is that the Zhuge family known for their strategic planning?"
Zhuge Kongming replied, "Exactly, I apologize for the laughter."
A young man holding a long spear said, "I am Yi Jichang, pleased to meet you all."
Yi Junsheng asked again, "Yi Jichang? Aren't you the one who wrote history? How did you switch to practicing with a spear?"
Yi Jichang said, "Qian is the Qian from Zhang Qian, not the Qian from Sima Qian; you need to be clear about that."
Yi Junsheng responded, "Oh, oh, this Qian is not that Qian, got it, got it."
Yi Junsheng approached Zhang Qian and said, "And you, what is your relation to Zhang Daqian?"
Zhang Qian replied, "No relation. My Qian is the same as Sima Qian's Qian, not Zhang Daqian's Qian; you need to understand that."
Yi Junsheng remarked, "Understood, understood. Such strange names. I heard that for this celebration, Divine Craftsman Ou Ziya crafted a Famous Sword as a gift. This sword rivals the Mogan Sword, which once attracted the attention of the five great Swordsmen. With this Famous Sword, Murong Manor has certainly increased its presence."
Zhang Qian said, "Murong Manor Master is truly impressive to have managed to invite Divine Craftsman Ou Ziya."
Yi Junsheng: "What's so strange about that? Money can make things happen. Ou Ziya hasn't been in the limelight for a while; he must be struggling financially. So this time crafting a sword for Murong Manor might earn him quite a bit."
At this moment, Eastern Dragon grew impatient and pushed Yi Junsheng out of the hall with one hand, saying, "Enough with the nonsense."
Yi Junsheng shouted, "Hey! You tall guy! I'll remember this grudge!"
Murong Manor Master said, "The celebration is about to begin. Please take some time to rest now; I will send someone to notify you all when it's time."
Severely injured by Dao Rulai, the Time Master arrived at the Snow Sea Human Bone Bridge to report the situation to the Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh. The Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh was extremely angry and said, "Damn bald donkey, how dare he touch my things! Time Master, you should return to heal your wounds first. Once we find out where that bald donkey is, we will each lead our subordinates to retrieve the Black Moon Box."
The Time Master replied, "Alright, for now, this is the only way. Please."
With a command, the Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh ordered, "Bone Collector, prepare the troops immediately."
The Bone Collector responded, "Understood."
On the edge of the Eastern Martial Arts Sea, Yamada Koji received news from Izumi Jiro. The message stated: A safe location has been found, just two hundred miles from the seaside at Tongfu Inn; this inn is currently the safest because the inn's boss has prohibited any fighting inside. Please hurry there.
Yamada Koji ordered, "Everyone, let's head to Tongfu Inn to meet with Izumi."
The group of ninjas replied, "Yes."
Three Hands, injured by the Sword God's attack, returned to Awakening Sea Music Academy. The dean, Fan Yin, immediately treated his wounds upon seeing him. After a while, Three Hands' condition improved. He said, "Thank you, Dean, for healing me."
Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, Yu asked, "What happened? Hurry and report it."
Three Hands recounted the events to the dean. The dean said, "I see. Many years ago, the five great Swordsmen—Sword Saint, Sword God, Sword Immortal, Sword Demon, and Sword Enthusiast—had a duel on Rock Peak. Each of them struck at the Test Stone; only the Sword Saint's sword energy pierced through it while the other four's attacks were absorbed by the Test Stone. The Test Stone is a living entity; if you engage in combat on its territory and it becomes impatient, it will retaliate. From your injuries, it seems you were struck by Sword God Huangfu Mingmo's famous move: One Sword to Level the Field. Your injuries cannot heal in a short time; as for eliminating Qin Se Pi Pa's mission, I will assign it to Xian Haixing. You should go rest and recover."
Three Hands replied, "Yes, I take my leave."
Underneath Lin Feng Ridge, Cold Light Temple appeared particularly prominent under the moonlight; tonight's atmosphere was very unusual. A verse echoed: Thousands of rivers converge into a bridge; blood spills and flesh flies leaving only bones. Countless heroes remain silent; today we still watch Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh. The master of Snow Sea Human Bone Bridge, Blood Drinking and Flesh Eating—Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh—led his army forward. At the same time, Purple Twelve Hours Master manipulated life and death; Time Master also led Eleven Hall Masters to arrive. The Skeleton of the Bone and Flesh commanded: "Everyone, flatten this den of filth and capture that scoundrel Dao Rulai who harms others and steals their possessions."
With a single command, the Skeleton Army and Time Master's forces surrounded Cold Light Temple. Dao Rulai faced an overwhelming siege.
Inside Tongfu Inn's guest room, Yamada Koji and Izumi Jiro were engaged in a secret discussion when a waft of floral fragrance interrupted their conversation along with light footsteps outside. Yamada Koji opened the door to find a stunningly beautiful woman passing by his doorway. Having never believed in love at first sight before, Yamada Koji's thoughts changed completely today. He quickly stepped forward and blocked her path. The atmosphere became awkward as she spoke first: "May I ask why you are blocking my way?"
Yamada Koji suddenly snapped back to reality and said, "Oh, it's nothing. May I know your name? What brings you here at this late hour?"
The woman said, "My name is Murong Yaoxian, the daughter of Murong Manor's owner. I am here to look for someone. May I ask your esteemed name, young master?"
Yamada Koji replied, "So you are the eldest daughter of Murong Manor. My name is Li Xin."
Murong Yaoxian said, "Young Master Li, there will be a celebration at Murong Manor tomorrow. You should come and join the festivities."
Yamada Koji responded, "I will definitely go."
Murong Yaoxian said, "I will go find someone now, excuse me."
Yamada Koji replied, "Please do."
In the forest, the injured Qin Se Pi Pa staggered along. At this moment, Chief Assistant Xian Haixing from Awakening Sea Music Academy arrived. Xian Haixing said, "Qin Se Pi Pa, tonight is your death day."
Extreme, extreme, extreme. With old wounds still unhealed, can Qin Se Pi Pa survive against Xian Haixing? What is Murong Yaoxian's purpose in coming to Tongfu Inn? Who is she looking for? Yamada Koji fell in love with Murong Yaoxian at first sight; what actions will he take? Can Dao Rulai break through the encirclement of the enemy forces?
