The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Leaving Murong Manor, Yi Junsheng and his two companions searched for A Piece of Paper in the Martial Arts Alliance and arrived at a forest. Suddenly, a Demon approached them from a distance. Yi Junsheng was taken aback and exclaimed, "A Piece of Paper, how did you end up like this, filled with Evil Energy? It's terrifying." The Demon ignored him and walked past Yi Junsheng, gradually moving away. At that moment, Sanwei Daoist said, "Yi Junsheng, you must have mistaken the person. This Demon is not A Piece of Paper."
Yi Junsheng replied, "Maybe I did mistake him; after all, there are many people who look similar."
Sanwei Daoist continued, "Right now, the Eastern Horseman has taken over the Eastern Martial World."
Yi Junsheng remarked, "These Wokou are killing people everywhere; I think we need to find a safe place to hide."
Reverse Head said, "Are you just trying to avoid death?"
Yi Junsheng responded, "My skills are lacking, so it's certainly more meaningful to preserve my life for more significant matters."
Sanwei Daoist asked, "What are these more significant matters?"
Yi Junsheng answered, "Of course, it's to find A Piece of Paper. As long as we locate him, no matter how rampant these Wokou are, A Piece of Paper will definitely ensure they have no place to bury their bodies."
Sanwei Daoist inquired, "Oh, oh, then where is the safest place right now?"
Yi Junsheng stated, "It must be Afang Palace of the Black Design Society."
Sanwei Daoist asked, "Why the Black Design Society?"
Yi Junsheng explained, "Because the Black Design Society has five top assassins. If the Wokou want to attack the Black Design Society, they will undoubtedly pay a heavy price."
Sanwei Daoist: "Since that's the case, why not ask the Black Design Society to deal with the people from Japan?"
Yi Junsheng replied: "Sanwei Daoist, do you think I run a moneylender's? How could I afford to hire Jing Ke and his gang of money-grabbers?"
Sanwei Daoist said: "Last time you dared to hire them, it was with a hundred thousand taels to take out Eastern Dragon."
Yi Junsheng: "That was already a hundred thousand taels spent. How could I have another hundred thousand? Forget it, I think we should hurry to the Black Design Society to avoid trouble."
Outside the base of the Eastern Martial World Eastern Army, many from the Martial Arts Community gathered, preparing to launch their first counterattack against Japan. At this moment, the experts from Japan, Matsui Yuichi and Iichiro Itagaki, led their forces out. Zhuge Kongming declared: "People of Japan, withdraw from the Central Plains Martial Arts World immediately, or do not blame us for using force."
Matsui Yuichi laughed heartily and said: "Central Plains martial arts are nothing special; if you want to fight, come on."
Upon hearing this, Dull Blade of the Wandering Sword immediately swung his sword in a quick attack against Matsui Yuichi, who drew his sword in response. Many from the Martial Arts Community quickly joined the fray, and Iichiro Itagaki along with the soldiers from Japan also entered the battle, resulting in a chaotic melee. Zhuge Kongming, Du Fu, Hua Mulan, Sima Qian, and Zhang Qian were engaged in a tough battle against Iichiro Itagaki. Meanwhile, Dull Blade of the Wandering Sword, Tao Yuanliang, Tang Bo Hu, Heavy Hammer Mocking Sword Light, and Sai Shichien surrounded Matsui Yuichi, while Blade One, Ouyang Xiu, and others faced off against the soldiers from Japan. The might of the Central Plains Martial Arts Community was overwhelming, and their numbers began to wear down the forces of the Eastern Army. Just as everyone thought victory was near, the sound of an Overbearing Poem echoed: "My ambition cannot be stopped by gods or demons!" The number one expert from Japan, Shogun Tohjo Eiki, arrived on the scene and said: "Is there no capable person left in the Central Plains Martial Arts World? Do you rely solely on numbers?"
At this moment, Heavy Hammer Mocking Sword Light declared: "Who says there are no capable people in the Central Plains? I will challenge you one-on-one right now."
Tohjo Eiki: "Very well, I will only use one move. If you can block it, you may earn your chance at survival."
Heavy Hammer Mocking Sword Light: "Bring it on; I'm not afraid." He then channeled his inner energy and unleashed his strongest move, a ground-shattering strike aimed at Tohjo Eiki. With a cold smile, Tohjo Eiki calmly raised his palm, condensing his palm energy into a massive sphere that crushed the ultimate move of Heavy Hammer Mocking Sword Light. Struck by the palm energy of Tohjo Eiki, his body exploded into dust. Witnessing this, everyone felt an overwhelming fear. Tohjo Eiki then said: "Now it's your turn." He unleashed the same palm energy towards the members of the Martial Arts Community.
Just as everyone was in dire straits, a demonic hand descended to block the palm energy of Tohjo Eiki. A demonic figure then appeared on the scene; it was none other than the Mochang Foxiao Yandao Demon, known as the Nightmare Demon. The Nightmare Demon stated: "The land of the divine cannot be trampled by the Wokou."
Upon seeing the demon, Tohjo Eiki remarked: "How can a demon obstruct my grand ambitions?"
Nightmare Demon: "How dare a mere pirate desecrate the unparalleled might of the demon."
Nightmare Demon adopts a provocative stance and says, "Let me challenge you to a duel, how about that?"
Tohjo Eiki replies, "Very well, show me your skills and astonish me."
Nightmare Demon: "Reveal your abilities to surprise me."
Upon finishing the words, Tohjo Eiki unleashes their signature move, Razor Strike, creating a grand airflow that dominates the scene. Nightmare Demon uses Shattered Corpse, No Bones Left with their left hand and Shatter Bones, Leave No Corpse with their right hand, both strikes aimed at Tohjo Eiki. The three moves collide, causing mountains to crumble and the earth to shake, filling the air with dust. Tohjo Eiki is pushed back several dozen feet, while Demon is pushed back a few feet, clearly indicating that Nightmare Demon has the upper hand. Just as Nightmare Demon intends to strike again, an unexpected palm hits Nightmare Demon on the back, causing immediate injury. Seeing the opportunity, Tohjo Eiki quickly channels their energy and strikes at Nightmare Demon. Demon, noticing this, shouts, "Everyone retreat!" They then gather their energy to resist but are unfortunately heavily injured and at less than fifty percent of their power; Demon suffers another blow and spits out blood.
Seeing this critical situation, Zhuge Kongming exclaims, "Everyone retreat!" Many from the Martial Arts Community take advantage of the moment to withdraw.
Tohjo Eiki remarks, "The Central Plains Martial Arts World truly is a place of hidden talents."
Demon responds, "How can the people of the tiny nation of Japan understand the vastness and profundity of the Divine Land?"
Tohjo Eiki: "Demon, your courage is commendable, but you are severely injured. Do you think you can escape my grasp?"
Demon declares, "Even if I am heavily wounded, no one can stop me from leaving." They then execute a move called Severing Tendons Without Harming Vessels, targeting both Matsui Yuichi and Iichiro Itagaki. Understanding Demon's capabilities and wanting to protect their subordinates, Tohjo Eiki can only respond with a move. At this moment, Nightmare Demon has already vanished from the sight of the people in Japan. Tohjo Eiki states, "What a cunning Demon."
Then Tohjo Eiki adds, "Why did the information he provided not mention this person? It seems I need to meet with him soon."
As many from the Martial Arts Community leave the influence of Japan, Zhuge Kongming says, "Fortunately for us that we had that Demon, otherwise we would have been in danger."
Du Fu said, "This Demon is surprisingly stronger than the number one expert from Japan. It's truly astonishing. I wonder who he is and why he wants to help us?"
Hua Mulan replied, "Now that the Demon is injured, he can't assist us anymore. What should we do next?"
Zhuge Kongming stated, "The most important issue right now is that our Central Plains Martial Arts World is leaderless. Each sect and Martial Arts Community is like a scattered sand pile. Without uniting our strength, we cannot resist the Eastern Army."
Zhang Qian suggested, "Murong Manor's Murong De is highly respected, and Murong Manor has a significant reputation in the martial world with many skilled experts. We can ask Murong to lead everyone against the Eastern Army."
The crowd agreed, "That makes sense." They then headed towards Murong Manor.
Murong Mulong came to Rock Peak for the conditions set by Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si. Will he be able to successfully obtain the stone from the Test Stone?
The Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage at Murong Manor ended in the most unexpected way. Can the champion, the Black Clan Evil Ones, truly win both the beautiful maiden and the prestigious artifact? Is Murong Yaoxian really going to be a flower placed in cow dung?
Who was behind the unexpected attack on the Nightmare Demon? And who provided information to Tohjo Eiki?
