The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Yamada Koji and Zhuge Kongming immediately stopped fighting. Yamada Koji said, "Miss Murong, please speak your mind."
Murong Yaoxian asked, "Do you know who the master of this place is?"
Zhuge Kongming replied, "It is Ming Lang Qian Kun, Yi Zhangzhi."
Murong Yaoxian said, "I am the mistress of this place. I believe you understand what I mean. There is no need for further pointless fighting on my behalf. If you truly have the ability, confront Yi Zhangzhi directly."
Yamada Koji asked, "I have never heard of your marriage to Yi Zhangzhi. How can you be the mistress of this place?"
Murong Yaoxian answered, "I have lived here for a long time, and Mr. Yi has no objections. This is sufficient proof that I will be the mistress of this place."
Yamada Koji understood that this was just Murong Yaoxian's evasive answer. Driven mad by love, Yamada Koji lunged at Murong Yaoxian like a hungry wolf, intending to force himself upon her. Zhuge Kongming would not allow such recklessness; he pointed his sword at Yamada Koji, separating him from Murong Yaoxian. Yamada Koji, emboldened by desire, would not let anyone interfere and swung his blade angrily at Zhuge Kongming. The two continued their fierce battle. Although neither possessed extraordinary martial arts skills, driven by their passion for Murong Yaoxian, they fought fiercely, causing even the bamboo in the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain to bend.
At that moment, a sinister voice disrupted the battle: "Who dares to cause trouble in the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain?" Following that, Nightmare Demon entered slowly from the Martial Arts Sect. Yamada Koji ignored the Demon and charged toward Murong Yaoxian while Zhuge Kongming paused. Seeing this, Nightmare Demon said, "You wretch from Japan! I spared your life last time, yet you still do not repent. Today you dare to covet the beauty of this lady again? It seems even Buddha cannot save you." With that, the Magic Technique—Severing Tendons Without Killing—struck Yamada Koji like a shooting star. Just as Yamada Koji was about to pounce on Murong Yaoxian, he was hit by the technique and collapsed before her, his eyes filled with unwilling affection at that moment. Nightmare Demon said, "A lowly person committing beastly acts deserves no sympathy. Zhuge Zi, please take this man's body to Divine Doctor Zhang Chongxing. I believe Doctor Zhang will need it for research."
Zhuge Kongming came back to his senses and said, "Oh, fine. I'll go right away." He then took Yamada Koji's body to the Dreaming Medical Pavilion.
Murong Yaoxian asked, "Are you the incarnation of Mr. Yi?"
Nightmare Demon replied, "Indeed. I am also your father's enemy; if you wish to avenge him, I am always ready."
Murong Yaoxian said, "My father committed many wrongs; his death is no loss. What face do I have left to talk about revenge? Moreover, my brother has already killed you once; all hatred should be resolved."
Nightmare Demon said, "I am truly curious how Murong could have such a sensible daughter as you."
Murong Yaoxian asked, "May I ask where Mr. Yi is now?"
Nightmare Demon replied, "That is not something you should concern yourself with; however, since you will be the mistress of this place, it may bring unnecessary trouble for Yi Zhangzhi."
Murong Yaoxian: "I did this to stop them from continuing to fight."
Nightmare Demon: "I understand. It seems I should have killed Zhuge Zi earlier to prevent any leaks."
Murong Yaoxian: "No, you mustn't. Young Master Zhuge has saved me several times. If it weren't for him just now, Yamada Koji's scheme would have succeeded."
Nightmare Demon: "I understand. I was just being casual; I am not a heartless killer. I only kill those who deserve it."
Yi Junsheng bought a carriage and had the reformed Sanwei Daoist act as the driver. Yi Junsheng had Sanwei Daoist drive the carriage through the Martial Arts Alliance, attracting the attention of many in the Martial Arts Community. At this moment, Loser Scholar Fan Buzhao could no longer stand it and approached the carriage, saying, "You are too cruel to treat a person like a horse. Are you a sadist?"
Yi Junsheng stepped out of the carriage and said, "Isn't it you, Loser Scholar, who is making a fuss? Please understand the situation before making your grand statements. Have you asked if this person willing to be treated like a horse is doing so voluntarily or under duress?"
Fan Buzhao asked Sanwei Daoist: "Are you being forced?"
Sanwei Daoist: "No, I am doing this voluntarily."
Yi Junsheng: "Did you hear that, Fan Buzhao? Hurry up and step aside; I want to travel through the rivers and mountains of the martial world."
Fan Buzhao: "May I ask, I want to buy Sanwei Daoist's freedom. Yi Junsheng, name your price."
Yi Junsheng: "I don't lack money; right now, I just want to sit in the carriage and explore the world."
Fan Buzhao: "How about this? I will challenge you to a literary duel. If you lose, you must set Sanwei Daoist free; if I lose, I'll pay you one thousand taels."
Yi Junsheng: "Bring it on! Although I may not be as learned as you, I won't lose to a Loser Scholar. Go ahead and present your question."
Fan Buzhao: "Very well, listen carefully: A pregnant woman falls into the water, resulting in one corpse and four lives. Guess the character."
Yi Junsheng: "That's easy; it's '潺' (chan), as in flowing water. The water radical represents the water, and below the character are three sons, perfectly matching one corpse and four lives."
Fan Buzhao: "Not bad, let's continue. The first line is 'Qingming Riverbank', where the sun and moon shine on the water. Please come up with a second line."
Yi Junsheng: "Oh, it's a wordplay couplet, let me think."
Fan Buzhao said: "Can't come up with one? Then admit defeat and let Sanwei Daoist go free."
Yi Junsheng replied: "Fan Buzhao, do you really think I've run out of words? Listen carefully, the first line is 'Qingming Riverbank', where the sun and moon shine on the water. My second line is 'Rock Peak', where two people stand on the mountain rocks. How about that?"
Fan Buzhao: "This, I suppose you barely pass. Let's continue, the first line is 'Sharpening a beard, asking how many heads there are in the world.'"
Yi Junsheng heard this and took out a giant pair of scissors from the carriage, pointing it at Fan Buzhao: "Fan Buzhao, are you saying your hair is too long? I don't mind helping you cut it short. Listen well, my second line is 'Testing the edge, let's see how skilled I am.'"
Fan Buzhao: "This, I must say you're impressive. Let's go again."
Yi Junsheng: "Wait a moment, you've been asking all along; now it's my turn to ask. That's only fair."
Fan Buzhao said: "Alright, go ahead and ask."
Yi Junsheng said: "Listen carefully, this question is a riddle: How high is it?"
Fan Buzhao pondered and replied: "How high? Do you dare to measure it?"
Yi Junsheng said: "Indeed, I have measured it. If you can't answer quickly step aside and don't block my path."
Fan Buzhao: "I concede; please reveal the answer."
Yi Junsheng said: "Of course, it's three hundred forty centimeters."
Fan Buzhao asked: "Why is it three hundred forty centimeters?"
Yi Junsheng asked, "Let me ask you, what is the average height of martial artists?"
Fan Buzhao replied, "About one hundred seventy centimeters, I suppose."
Yi Junsheng said, "That's right. If one person is one hundred seventy centimeters, then two people would be three hundred forty centimeters."
Fan Buzhao suddenly realized, "I see now. I concede; you may leave."
Just as Yi Junsheng was about to leave, Demon Star and Eastern Proud Dragon arrived. Eastern Proud Dragon said, "Damn you, White Face. You may escape the punishment of the Martial Arts Tribunal, but you cannot escape my Great Axe."
Zhuge Kongming brought the corpse of Yamada Koji to the Dreaming Medical Pavilion, where Divine Doctor Zhang Chongxing was preparing to experiment on it. Thousands of poisonous insects crawled over Yamada Koji's body, a horrifying sight that made Zhuge Kongming foam at the mouth. However, Zhang Chongqing remained calm, waiting for the results. Suddenly, Yamada Koji's corpse slowly sat up from the experiment table, flames igniting on its body and incinerating all the poisonous insects; yet, Yamada Koji's body remained unharmed. At this moment, Zhang Chongqing said, "This is bad; the experiment has failed."
The Martial Arts Sect, led by Duanmu Chong, surrounded the main headquarters of the Black Design Society, the Afang Palace. Duanmu Chong declared, "Today, the Black Design Society will disappear from the martial world."
The president of the Black Design Society, along with five assassins, prepared for battle. President Gao Jianli said, "Duanmu Chong, we are assassins who sell our lives for money; why must you force us like this?"
Tension filled the air. With Divine Doctor Zhang Chongxing's failed experiment, what actions would the transformed corpse of Yamada Koji take against Zhang Chongqing and Zhuge Kongming? Facing the siege of the Martial Arts Sect, could the members of the Black Design Society escape? As for the adversaries Yi Junsheng and Eastern Proud Dragon, how would their extreme encounter unfold?
