The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Inside the Famous Sword Society hall, Yi Junsheng carefully observed President Xia Zhouyi, who had just emerged from the Inner Hall. Yi Junsheng said, "Alright! Old Fatty, could you explain to me why this Evil Blood Cursed Blade belongs to your Famous Sword Society? I clearly remember that this blade was auctioned off by the Nightmare Demon at the Martial Arts Auction using Magic Technique. Now you suddenly claim it is yours. Are there two identical blades?"
Chen Qi, a disciple of the Famous Sword Society, became furious upon hearing Yi Junsheng refer to the President as Old Fatty and said, "White Face, please speak with more respect. If it weren't for respecting your guest status, I would have killed you for being disrespectful to the President long ago."
Xia Zhouyi replied, "No need to worry, let me explain about this blade. This Evil Blood Cursed Blade originally belonged to the Famous Sword Society. A year ago, during the finals of the Famous Sword competition held here, this blade was stolen by thieves, causing the semifinals to be interrupted. After the blade was lost, I sent people to search everywhere in the Martial Arts Alliance but unfortunately could not find any trace of it. Recently, we received news that the blade was obtained by the Nightmare Demon at the Martial Arts Auction. Since the Nightmare Demon paid a price to acquire the Famous Sword, I have not demanded it back from him. However, according to the rules of the Famous Sword Society, anyone who obtains a Famous Sword must agree to do three things unconditionally for the society. Recently, I saved the Nightmare Demon from Huangfu Mingmo and made these rules clear to him. After hearing this, he voluntarily returned the Evil Blade to me as he did not wish to fulfill those three conditions for the Famous Sword Society and then left."
Huangfu Mingmo asked in surprise, "The Nightmare Demon has already left? Where did he go?"
Xia Zhouyi answered, "I do not know."
Yi Junsheng shouted loudly, "Nonsense! I suspect you have already killed the Nightmare Demon and made it seem like he returned this blade voluntarily. Now there is no evidence; you can do whatever you want."
At this moment, Chen Qi was filled with rage and said, "White Face, you repeatedly slander the President; it seems you are looking for death. Take this!" He then drew his sword and attacked Yi Junsheng with the intent to kill this arrogant fellow. Yi Junsheng pulled out his Wolf Tooth Club from behind and blocked Chen Qi's attack; both sides began fighting fiercely in the hall.
Xia Zhouyi bent his right middle finger towards his thumb's second joint and then flicked it forcefully. A powerful blade aura shot out from his hand towards the two combatants. The two were instantly separated. Xia Zhouyi said, "Chen Qi, do not be rude; step back. Yi Junsheng, if I killed the Nightmare Demon and seized the Famous Sword, what evidence do you have?"
Yi Junsheng stammered, "Well, I have no evidence; however, it is well known in the martial arts world that this blade belongs to the Nightmare Demon. Your sudden claim that it originally belonged to you seems implausible."
Xia Zhouyi said, "To prove that this blade is indeed from the Famous Sword Society, I have made preparations." He focused his energy towards the Evil Blade on the central table. Suddenly, a voice resembling that of the Nightmare Demon emanated from the Evil Blade: "I have returned this blade to the Famous Sword Society; from now on I have nothing to do with it."
Upon hearing this, everyone firmly believed in the ownership of the Evil Blade by the Famous Sword Society. Yi Junsheng had no choice but to remain silent and unable to refute. At this moment, Huangfu Mingmo said, "Since the Nightmare Demon is not here, I shall take my leave." He prepared to depart.
Xia Zhouyi urged him to stay: "Today we will hold the finals of the Famous Sword competition; why not invite Mr. Huangfu from the pinnacle of swordsmanship as a judge?"
Huangfu Mingmo hesitated for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I shall accept your invitation."
Xia Zhouyi then announced the rules for the Famous Sword finals: "All participants must be masters of the sword; this is the primary requirement. Furthermore, participants must agree before the competition to do three things unconditionally for the Famous Sword Society after obtaining the Famous Sword. If you cannot agree to this, please withdraw voluntarily. Finally, the competition will be decided by martial arts. Since this is a contest for the Famous Sword, all sword users will not have weapons or will have only ordinary ones, so the match will be fought barehanded using sword energy to determine the victor, with the outcome decided by the referee Mr. Huangfu. Now, please register with Chen Qi and sign the agreement to do three things for the Famous Sword Society after obtaining the Famous Sword. Of course, there can only be one winner. After the match concludes, any swordsman who has signed the agreement and has not obtained the Famous Sword can reclaim their agreement, or the Famous Sword Society can burn these agreements on the spot, so there is no need for concern."
Upon hearing this, many swordsmen eagerly registered for the competition. After a moment, the registration phase ended. Xia Zhouyi said: "Everyone, please proceed to the front yard Arena, as the match is about to begin." Thus, everyone left the hall and arrived at the front yard Arena.
After two rounds of competition, the final four were Tai Kuang Lord, Demon Among Demons, Bai Wujin, and Years Leave No Trace. Huangfu Mingmo announced: "The semifinals will determine opponents using sword energy; please bring out the Return Stone." A disciple of the Famous Sword Society carried in a spherical stone with many holes distributed across its surface.
Xia Zhouyi explained: "Please strike your respective sword energies toward the holes in the Return Stone. The sword energy will flow through several paths inside the stone and then reflect out. Ultimately, whoever receives your sword energy will be your opponent. Please make your move."
The four participants focused their energy and struck at the Return Stone. In an instant, Tai Kuang Lord received sword energy from Bai Wujin, while Demon Among Demons received sword energy from Years Leave No Trace. Huangfu Mingmo: "The first match of the semifinals is between Tai Kuang Lord and Bai Wujin. Please take your places on the Arena."
Both Tai Kuang Lord and Bai Wujin leaped onto the Arena. Tai Kuang Lord said: "What a narrow path for enemies; today I shall avenge my fallen brother." With that, he took the initiative and unleashed his attack, channeling his energy into a blade-like force directed at Bai Wujin.
Bai Wujin, pushing off from the ground, leaped up to evade Tai Kuang Lord's first strike and declared: "I too shall avenge my deceased Zheng Men Master." He swiftly rotated his foot to redirect his energy, sending forth a beam that resembled both sword energy and fury towards Tai Kuang Lord. With both palms braced against his chest, Tai Kuang Lord met this attack head-on. The two energies collided fiercely, shaking the Arena, and he was pushed back several steps. Just as he intended to unleash his Chaotic Power to defeat Bai Wujin, Huangfu Mingmo suddenly spoke: "In this match, Bai Wujin is declared victorious."
Surprised by this declaration, Tai Kuang Lord exclaimed: "The outcome has not been determined; why declare victory for Bai Wujin?" The spectators also questioned Huangfu Mingmo, with Yi Junsheng sarcastically commenting: "You foolish and reckless Huangfu Mingmo, has your mind gone awry? The finals have just begun; neither has drawn blood yet you declare that Tai Kuang Lord has lost. How much did you take as a bribe from that man, Bai Wujin?"
With a flick of his finger, Huangfu Mingmo sent the disrespectful Yi Junsheng flying a hundred feet away and stated: " Tai Kuang Lord's second defensive move did not utilize sword techniques or energy; this alone constitutes a foul. Moreover, his defensive move could not withstand Bai Wujin's sword energy, resulting in him being pushed back several steps—this is sufficient to declare him defeated."
Upon hearing this, many felt that Huangfu Mingmo had a point. However, unwilling to accept defeat regardless of whether he could obtain the Evil Blade, Tai Kuang Lord launched another attack against Bai Wujin. He unleashed a fierce strike infused with his own energy into his hands, intending to take down Bai Wujin. Observing this, Huangfu Mingmo spun his **Dragon Spring Treasure Sword**, releasing its sword energy. At that moment, disciple of the **Famous Sword Society** **Chen Qi** also attacked ** Tai Kuang Lord **. To protect himself, **Bai Wujin** gathered his inner strength for defense and countered with swift strikes that pierced through to confront ** Tai Kuang Lord **. Despite using **Chaotic Power**, ** Tai Kuang Lord ** found himself at a disadvantage; defeat was inevitable as he sustained injuries amidst their exchanges. Realizing he was outnumbered, ** Tai Kuang Lord ** resorted to using ninja techniques to escape.
**Huangfu Mingmo** declared: "The Japanese pirates dare to walk among us in the Martial Arts Alliance; from now on, everyone should try to eliminate him upon sight. Now that ** Tai Kuang Lord ** has escaped and we cannot pursue him further, let us proceed with the second semifinal match; please have **Demon Among Demons** face **Years Leave No Trace** on the **Arena**."
As soon as **Demon Among Demons** stepped onto the **Arena**, he initiated an attack. Lacking proficiency in sword techniques, he could only unleash an attack resembling sword energy through **Qigong**. Although **Years Leave No Trace's** inner strength was inferior to that of **Demon Among Demons**, his swordsmanship was pure; each finger could act as a sharp blade. With his right hand clenched into a fist and then tightened before releasing it, five beams of blade-like energy shot forth to counteract **Demon Among Demons'** **Qigong**. The two energies collided violently, shaking both sky and earth; however, due to slightly weaker power from **Years Leave No Trace**, he was ultimately forced down onto the **Arena** by **Demon Among Demons'** might.
**Huangfu Mingmo** announced: "This match is won by **Demon Among Demons**, and now we proceed to the finals; please have **Bai Wujin** step onto the **Arena**."
Yi Junsheng returned from a distance of a hundred zhang to the arena below, saying, "Damn it, Huangfu Mingmo, this Demon clearly doesn't know any sword techniques. Why didn't you declare him the loser? Also, even if he won, shouldn't there be a moment of rest before the finals?"
Huangfu Mingmo struck Yi Junsheng, who had too many questions, out of the Famous Sword Society, saying, "Please begin."
Bai Wujin knew that the Demon Among Demons had profound Inner Strength. To gain the upper hand, Bai Wujin channeled his energy through both palms, using them as blades. His ultimate technique, Ten Thousand Blades Submission, unleashed a blade aura that surged like tumultuous waves, aiming to engulf the Demon before him. Facing such a formidable move, the Demon Among Demons responded cautiously with the Demonic Domain Evil Technique: Devour Living Beings. A vortex of energy formed with immense suction, intending to annihilate all living things. The extreme clash caused the arena to collapse instantly, leaving devastation in its wake. The Martial Arts Community present was injured by the shockwave. Bai Wujin's Qigong could not withstand the demonic energy and was similarly injured, spitting blood.
At this moment, Huangfu Mingmo declared, "The winner of the finals is Bai Wujin."
The Demon Among Demons was furious upon hearing this and said, "Say that again."
The Immortal of Eternal Youth returned to Liu Ling Tavern to investigate the secrets behind his brother's death but was met with a horrifying scene. The Immortal's heart sank in terror, leaving him weak on the ground.
Du Fu arrived at Tongfu Inn seeking revenge for his disciples and intended to ask Sword Saint Murong Mulong for help against the Eternal Youth. Murong Mulong replied, "Master Du, forgive me; I cannot assist you."
What actions will the Demon Among Demons take now that he has gone from victor to vanquished in the Famous Sword Society finals? What terrifying changes occurred within the ruins of Liu Ling Tavern that left the Immortal of Eternal Youth incapacitated? Inside Tongfu Inn, Murong Mulong outright refused Du Fu's request—has Du Fu truly run out of options?
