The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Outside, Huangfu Mingmo pointed his sword at Yi Zhangzhi, and Dreamy Beauty stepped forward to fiercely battle Huangfu Mingmo. Yi Zhangzhi spoke again, "Please stop! We shouldn't fight among ourselves at this time; it will only benefit the Half-Orcs who are waiting to reap the rewards. We would be losing out!"
Huangfu Mingmo ignored any words from Yi Zhangzhi. After several moves to shake off Dreamy Beauty's entanglement, he leaped into the air, sending a sword aura rushing towards Yi Zhangzhi. Seeing this, Dreamy Beauty exclaimed, "How dare you treat the savior of Dreamy Consort with such disrespect! Take this!"
Dreamy Beauty launched a fierce attack on Huangfu Mingmo. After dodging Huangfu Mingmo's sword aura, Yi Zhangzhi used his skills to neutralize Dreamy Beauty's strike aimed at Huangfu Mingmo. Dreamy Beauty was astonished and said, "Yi Lang! Have you lost your mind? How can you help someone who wants to kill you?"
Before Dreamy Beauty could finish her sentence, Huangfu Mingmo seized the opportunity and launched a furious attack on Yi Zhangzhi. Unable to watch any longer, Dreamy Beauty unleashed her signature move, Swallowing Mountains and Rivers, determined to defeat Huangfu Mingmo. The Sword God saw this and swung his sword, executing his famous move, One Sword Transforms into Nine Thousand, decisively blocking Dreamy Beauty's lethal strike. The two attacks collided with a loud explosion, leaving both of them shaken.
At this moment, Yi Zhangzhi had already vanished from the scene. Not seeing Yi Zhangzhi anywhere, Huangfu Mingmo had no choice but to withdraw. However, Dreamy Beauty was relentless and struck again at Huangfu Mingmo. Faced with her vengeful palm strike, the Sword God blocked it with his sword but did not wish to continue fighting. He then spun the sword handle, causing several sword auras to fiercely attack Dreamy Beauty before he left the scene. Dreamy Beauty soared into the air to evade the sword auras and angrily shouted, "Damn Huangfu Mingmo! Despicable Yi Zhangzhi! Pitiful Duanmu Chong! You have truly infuriated Dreamy Consort!" She then flew into Eighteen Floors.
At the border between Northern Martial Arts and Central Plains, Sun Simiao unexpectedly appeared. Duanmu Chong assumed that Sun Simiao still obeyed Half-Dragon and said, "Medicine King Sun Simiao, hurry and treat Half-Dragon; if you delay, it may be too late."
Sun Simiao approached Half-Dragon and carefully examined his injuries. He said, "Half-Dragon is severely injured and needs immediate treatment. I have a life-prolonging pill that can extend his life for three days if he takes it."
Duanmu Chong urged, "Then hurry and let him take it."
Sun Simiao replied, "There’s no free lunch in this world; this life-prolonging pill cannot be given away casually. I want the antidote for Seven-Day Intestinal Worm in exchange for it; otherwise, I would rather burn both jade and stone than part with this pill."
With just a bit of consciousness left, Half-Dragon said, "Alright, I agree." He then produced the antidote for Seven-Day Intestinal Worm to trade with Sun Simiao. This way, Half-Dragon gained a chance to survive while Sun Simiao could free himself from Half-Dragon's control. After Sun Simiao took the antidote, he intended to eliminate threats in the martial world to make a name for himself. Just as he was about to act, Half Locust Man and others arrived as reinforcements. At that moment, Sun Simiao dared not act recklessly and could only leave quietly.
Half Locust Man checked Half-Dragon's injuries and immediately began to channel energy for healing. After a moment, Half-Dragon showed signs of recovery and said, "Thank you, Insect Head, for healing me."
Half Locust Man said, "No need to be polite. We are allies, and your death brings me no benefit. Our side has suffered heavy losses and it is unwise to clash with the Martial Arts Community again. I suggest we each take some time to recuperate, and once we have regained our strength, we can plan for the future. What do you think?"
Half-Dragon gasped, "For now, this is the only way. Let's return to our respective bases to recover, but remember, no matter how much the Martial Arts Community calls for battle, we must not engage. Otherwise, we will be outnumbered and face defeat."
Half Locust Man floated into the air and said, "I understand. Farewell." He then flew away, followed by the other Half-Insect Man.
Half-Orc took the heavily injured Half-Dragon towards the direction of Beast Den.
After several rounds of fierce fighting between Ouyang Xiu, Liang Shanbo, and the Half-Orc, both sides remained locked in a stalemate. Many Half-Orc, seeing that Half-Dragon and the others had left for quite some time, lost their will to fight. Among them, Centaur ordered, "There is no need for us to continue battling here; retreat quickly." Thus, several Half-Orc launched a few strikes at Ouyang Xiu and the others to create an opportunity for escape, and in the blink of an eye, they vanished from the scene. After dodging the strikes, Ouyang Xiu and the others intended to pursue and eliminate the remaining Half-Orc to avenge those who had died unjustly. At that moment, Yi Zhangzhi arrived on the scene and spoke to stop Ouyang Xiu and the others from chasing after the remnants of the Half-Orc. Yi Zhangzhi said, "Everyone, please do not pursue. Once you enter Northern Martial Arts, it will be the territory of the Half-Orc. The forest there is very treacherous and not favorable for you. Moreover, the Half-Orc may already be prepared; going there would only lead to needless deaths."
Liang Shanbo replied, "You have a point, Yi Zhangzhi, but facing you as a Wulin Public Enemy, what do you expect us to do?"
Yi Zhangzhi Dust Whisk waved his hand, causing dust to swirl around him and creating an eerie atmosphere as he said, "I am indeed a sinner in the martial world; if you have the ability, come take my life." Seeing this situation, Liang Shanbo felt a chill in his heart while Ouyang Xiu said, "Daoist, you have repeatedly stood up against foreign invasions and saved the Central Plains Martial Arts World from peril multiple times. You have even helped those who sought to kill you. I cannot believe that you are an evil person; there must be some misunderstanding here. And how can you treat your savior with such disrespect, Liang Shanbo? Have you forgotten how Daoist single-handedly resisted both Half-Dragon and Half Locust Man during the battle at Western Mountain Path? Your presence here now is thanks to him."
Feeling guilty, Liang Shanbo had no words to respond and silently left the scene. Ouyang Xiu bowed respectfully to Yi Zhangzhi, saying, "I will take my leave as well, Daoist. Please take care."
Yi Zhangzhi returned the gesture and said, "Farewell!"
After leaving the dense forest near Western Mountain Path, Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head headed towards Confucius Academy. Curious, Reverse Head asked, "Yi Junsheng, why are we going to Confucius Academy? Didn't that Mengzi embarrass you last time? Why go there again just to humiliate yourself?"
Laughing heartily, Yi Junsheng replied, "This time is different! That Mengzi was beaten half to death by Half Locust Man. He won't have any strength left to make me uncomfortable now. I plan to take this opportunity to visit him and give him a good scolding so he knows what it feels like to be embarrassed. Hahaha!"
As they walked along, they soon arrived at Confucius Academy. The disciples led them in to visit Mengzi. Approaching his bedside and observing closely, Yi Junsheng said, "Mengzi, it seems you are indeed seriously injured. Do you need me to summon Medicine King Sun Simiao to prescribe some powerful pills for your recovery?"
Mengzi: "No need, I am fine. Thank you for your kindness."
Yi Junsheng again: "Mengzi, do you know how many people your reckless actions have harmed? The current Confucius Academy has only a handful of people left. Can your ideal world be built with just these few? It is a shame that you, Mengzi, who are so learned, cannot even see through the tricks of the Half-Insect Man. Have you forgotten how you taught me back then?"
Upon hearing this, Mengzi's expression darkened, and feelings of shame and regret welled up in his heart. He said, "All of this is caused by me; I cannot escape my responsibility. I will make the Half-Orc and Half-Insect Man pay the price to comfort the spirits of those who died unjustly."
Yi Junsheng struck again, saying, "What good will it do to kill all the Half-Orc and Half-Insect Man? The dead cannot come back to life. What you are doing is merely to ease your own conscience, not realizing that the regret began the moment you made the wrong choice. You want to eliminate the Half-Orc and Half-Insect Man as atonement for your negligence, but none of this can be undone. You, Mengzi, are destined to become a historical sinner of the Confucius Academy."
Hearing Yi Junsheng criticize Mengzi, Zhu Yingtai was filled with rage and struck Yi Junsheng, sending him flying out of Mengzi's room. As he flew out, Yi Junsheng shouted, "You unwanted Zhu Yingtai, remember this! Ouch!" He landed heavily on the ground, feeling immense pain.
At the same time, Liang Shanbo could not tolerate anyone disrespecting Mengzi, especially since this person was the brother of the notorious Wulin Public Enemy, Yi Zhangzhi. Liang Shanbo could not easily forgive Yi Junsheng, and he attacked with the intent to teach him a harsh lesson. Before Yi Junsheng could get up from his fall, Liang Shanbo's furious strike had already come. With another scream, Yi Junsheng was hit on his left shoulder by Liang Shanbo, flying three yards away. He exclaimed, "You damnable Liang Shanbo, hitting me so hard! Do you want my life?"
Liang Shanbo replied, "I want to teach you a lesson for your reckless words. Take this!" With that, he launched another fierce attack aimed at Yi Junsheng's mouth. Not wanting to be humiliated like this, Yi Junsheng grabbed a giant pair of scissors and fought back against Liang Shanbo. After several exchanges, he began to feel exhausted and was clearly losing. At that moment, they heard Mengzi's voice from inside the room saying, "Stop! Yi Junsheng is right; all of this is my fault. If I cannot even accept this little criticism, what face do I have left to live in this world or to face the spirits of those who have passed?" Hearing this from Mengzi, Liang Shanbo ceased fighting and escorted both men out of the Confucius Academy.
Once outside the academy, although there was still some pain in his body, Yi Junsheng said to Reverse Head: "So you really went out looking for trouble? Even if Mengzi does not get angry with you, others will definitely stand up for him; you are simply bringing humiliation upon yourself."
Yi Junsheng replied, "I have been insulted by Mengzi multiple times; this time it counts as payback. Taking that slap from Zhu Yingtai was worth it. Let's leave." Thus, they departed from the Confucius Academy.
