The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
The Hate Blade Swordsman and Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances exchanged cold glances, and suddenly the wind blew sand away, obscuring their vision. The Hate Blade Swordsman broke the silence first, launching a swift attack with his sword at Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances. Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances countered with a series of intricate knife techniques, blocking every strike from the Hate Blade Swordsman. Each clash of their weapons told a story of past hatred—intense animosity, high skill, and swift strikes were evident in every move.
To avenge his grievances, the Hate Blade Swordsman drew upon his inner strength to enhance his sword's power and launched a furious assault on Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances. However, the eighteenth vengeance of Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances had never tasted defeat, which was not just talk; his knife skills had reached the realm of Human-Weapon Unity. Faced with the extreme hatred of the sword, he deflected it with ease. The Hate Blade Swordsman said, "You are indeed a respectable opponent." After speaking, he unleashed extreme moves, aiming to take lives with each strike, showing no mercy. Meanwhile, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances held back slightly, not using his full strength to avoid regrets.
In their battle, it was surprising that Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances kept his eyes closed. The Hate Blade Swordsman, filled with rage, exclaimed, "Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances, do you look down on me so much? To fight with your eyes tightly shut is a great insult to me." Immediately, the Hate Blade Swordsman executed his ultimate move—Snowy Revenge—channeling an unstoppable sword energy that rushed towards Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances. In response, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances unleashed his secret technique—Intentional Blade Release—where profound intent and ruthless knife energy erupted simultaneously. When their ultimate moves clashed, the Hate Blade Swordsman was once again defeated and pushed back several steps by Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances' knife technique, spitting crimson blood and sustaining injuries. Meanwhile, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances continued to embody the undefeated legend of Knife Realm Pinnacle. At this moment, Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances slowly opened his eyes and said, "The reason I fought with my eyes closed is that your attire is a mix of red and green; I did not mean to look down on you."
Hearing this, the defeated Hate Blade Swordsman laughed heartily and said, "So you are colorblind!" He then left the scene.
At Ming Kong Residence, Yi Zhangzhi met Huangfu Mingmo. After a round of tentative sparring, they finally began to converse calmly. Yi Zhangzhi said, "Mr. Huangfu, currently the martial arts world is under the control of Duanmu Chong; many sects have succumbed to his tyranny. If this continues, the entire martial arts world will fall into Duanmu Chong's hands, turning it into a hell on earth. As they say, the rise and fall of the martial arts world is the responsibility of swordsmen; it is time for you, Mr. Huangfu, to show your strength."
Huangfu Mingmo replied, "What noble words! However, I have a personal grudge against Duanmu Chong; you need not worry about me; I will confront him myself."
Yi Zhangzhi said, "In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Huangfu. I heard that Sword Immortal Qiu Yuxia is also at Ming Kong Residence; could you please invite Autumn Maiden to assist us?"
Huangfu Mingmo responded, "That’s no problem; Qiu Yuxia hates evil as much as she loves justice; she will certainly lend her strength for the martial arts world."
Yi Zhangzhi said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Huangfu; I still need to contact others and will take my leave now."
Huangfu Mingmo added, "Wait a moment; may I ask what your relationship is with Mochang Foxiao Yandao Demon—Nightmare Demon?"
Yi Zhangzhi answered, "Nightmare Demon is my Demonic Arts manifestation."
Huangfu Mingmo remarked, "Oh, I see. But are those from Taoist Sect suited for practicing Demonic Arts?"
Yi Zhangzhi replied, "As long as one does not allow the demonic manifestation to control their consciousness and maintains safety without worry; thus practicing both Buddhist Sect and Taoist Sect techniques must suppress Demonic Arts sufficiently for it to be considered successful."
Huangfu Mingmo said, "Indeed, this is extraordinary skill. It seems that without a special method, one cannot cultivate such martial arts."
Yi Zhangzhi replied, "That's right. To master this martial art, one must be placed in a life-and-death situation. Therefore, my three incarnations, Dao Rulai, Nightmare Demon, and Buddha's Mysterious Mechanism, have all been killed before."
Huangfu Mingmo said, "I truly look forward to battling the complete you. I want to see just how strong Yi Zhangzhi with Three Powers Merged as One really is."
Yi Zhangzhi responded, "If there is an opportunity. I take my leave now." He then left Ming Kong Residence.
The content of the book, Record of Strange Tales from the Jianghu, was causing quite a stir on the Martial Arts Alliance. Duanmu Chong had also heard a bit about it. He was particularly interested in the Nurturing Well mentioned in the book related to the Southern Martial Arts Daughters Clan. Duanmu Chong pondered: Is it really true that women who drink from the Nurturing Well will become pregnant, and men will enhance their martial abilities? Currently, the strongest enemy on the Martial Arts Alliance is Yi Zhangzhi, who possesses Three Powers Merged as One. With my current abilities, it is impossible to defeat Yi Zhangzhi alone. It is better to believe in the existence of the Nurturing Well than to doubt it; after all, even if drinking from the well does not enhance my abilities, it won't harm me. It seems I should visit the Daughter Clan.
Duanmu Chong ordered, "Ben Aoxiang, you will lead the way as we visit the Daughter Clan."
Ben Aoxiang replied, "Understood." Then Duanmu Chong set off towards the Daughter Clan.
After leaving Ming Kong Residence, Yi Zhangzhi arrived at Smoke and Rain, Absolute Flower, Eighteen Floors. The owner, Original and Unique·Dreamy Beauty, opened the welcoming door. Upon reaching the top floor of the Eighteen Floors, he said, "Do you know why I have come here today?"
Ru Meng Yan Ji Yun laughed and said, "Haha! Yi Zhangzhi, you are here for the Dreamy Consort, right? Are you planning to battle for three hundred rounds? The Dreamy Consort will definitely not disappoint you."
Yi Zhangzhi waved his Dust Whisk and said, "Not at all. I am here to save your life."
Dreamy Beauty asked, "Oh? Save my life? Am I in danger now? Do I need your help?"
Yi Zhangzhi replied, "As they say, one should be wary even in times of peace. You need to be cautious. Most of the martial arts sects have now fallen under the control of Martial Arts Sect and Duanmu Chong. Next, he will eliminate potential threats. Your influence at Smoke and Rain, Absolute Flower, Eighteen Floors will undoubtedly become his primary target. At that time, you and your establishment will have to face his army alone. Given such a disparity in strength, it is clear that you will undoubtedly face defeat. The only outcome awaiting you is death without a burial place. That is why I have come today to pull you back from the brink of death."
Dreamy Beauty said, "Yi Zhangzhi, you are quite eloquent. However, I have a cooperative relationship with Duanmu Chong. Would he treat me this way?"
Yi Zhangzhi said, "As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Master, your fierce presence can certainly threaten Duanmu Chong's position. Do you think the ambitious Duanmu Chong will let you off easily?"
Dreamy Beauty pondered for a moment and replied, "Hahaha, thank you Yi Zhangzhi for your reminder. I know what to do now."
Yi Zhangzhi continued, "I believe Master will make the right decision, as this concerns both your fate and that of the entire Smoke and Rain, Absolute Flower, Eighteen Floors. I have said all I needed to say; I take my leave."
Dreamy Beauty said, "Since you are here, why rush to leave? Don't you want to have a go before you go?"
Yi Zhangzhi replied, "I wonder if Master remembers what I said about Hua Ti Mian Dao Mo. The martial arts he practices are those of Yin-Yang Replenishment, and I, Yi Zhangzhi, also cultivate this type of martial arts. Since Master does not mind, it would be too disrespectful for me to decline again. So let’s proceed, Master."
Upon hearing this, Dreamy Beauty was taken aback and said, "Yi Zhangzhi, such martial arts of Yin-Yang Replenishment, I am afraid of you now. Let's hurry and leave."
Yi Zhangzhi said, "Then I shall take my leave now, Master. Hahaha." He then departed from Smoke and Rain, Absolute Flower, Eighteen Floors.
Yi Junsheng traveled by carriage all the way to Northern Martial Arts, intending to investigate the accounts of Half-Orc and Half-Insect Man recorded in the book Record of Strange Tales from the Jianghu by Heroic Blade Eighteen Vengeances. In the dense forest, various sounds echoed, sending chills down one’s spine. Yi Junsheng got off the carriage and together with Sanwei Daoist, they searched deep within the forest for traces of the Half-Orc and Half-Insect Man. Suddenly, a creature with a human face and bear body appeared before them—a Half-Bear Man. Seeing such a monster, Yi Junsheng remained unfazed and approached to observe the physical features of the Half-Bear Man. However, the Half-Bear Man was not friendly and said, "Two prey; today I can feast well, hahaha." He then lunged directly at Yi Junsheng.
Seeing this, Yi Junsheng immediately grabbed his weapon—a giant pair of scissors—and held them tightly towards the Half-Bear Man. The Half-Bear Man, undeterred, charged forward with such speed that Yi Junsheng had no chance to strike back before being knocked down to the ground. Just as the Half-Bear Man was about to bite down on Yi Junsheng, Sanwei Daoist, quick on his feet, struck the Half-Bear Man, knocking him down. Yi Junsheng quickly got up and picked up the giant scissors intending to sever the head of the Half-Bear Man. At that moment, the Half-Bear Man had already gotten back up and swiftly fled into the dense forest without a trace.
