The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Inside Tongfu Inn's guest room, the unconscious Qin Se Pi Pa faced a deadly threat. Plum Blossom Melody approached Qin Se Pi Pa's bedside, ready to end his life with a single strike. Just as Plum Blossom Melody raised the knife to kill Qin Se Pi Pa, a voice from outside called out, "Is this how you kill an injured person?" The Musician hesitated, caught in thought: the mission must be completed, but killing someone who cannot resist is beneath him; however, many innocents have already died at his hands. If he does not kill him now, who knows how many more will die in the future? Doubt and hesitation tormented his heart. After a moment, the Musician made a decision. He steeled himself, preparing to end Qin Se Pi Pa's wicked life. Just as the knife fell, a sword energy shot in and shattered the Musician's weapon.
A voice from outside said, "You made the wrong choice; no fighting is allowed inside Tongfu Inn. You should leave."
Plum Blossom Melody replied, "You will regret this," and then left.
Outside Dreaming Medical Pavilion, Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si arrived. Zhang Chongqing was terrified and even more shocked to see that Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si's right hand was nothing but bone. Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si got straight to the point: "Divine Doctor Zhang Chongxing, my right hand was injured by a Demon; can you heal it?"
Zhang Chongqing said, "Let me take a look." He then carefully examined Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si's injury.
Zhang Chongqing stated, "Unless we can find something to draw blood and create flesh, there is no cure."
Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si asked, "What are these things that draw blood and create flesh? Where can I find them?"
Zhang Chongqing replied, "I don't know either, but I have a lead for you. I've heard that the Test Stone on Rock Peak is a living thing; perhaps it has such capabilities. As long as I have a part of the Test Stone, I can determine if it has this function. However, no one in today's martial world has been able to chip off a piece from the Test Stone except for the Sword Saint."
Infernal Sovereign Yan Yin Si said, "I will personally visit the Test Stone; farewell."
On the martial arts arena at Murong Manor, Chief Steward Murong Sui announced the rules of the competition: "The competition will be held in seven rounds, with half of the participants eliminated each round. The champion of the seventh round will become Sister Murong's husband and the owner of the Famous Sword. Each round will feature random pairings; each pair will have the same entry number. Anyone who does not appear when called will be considered to have forfeited, allowing their opponent to advance to the next round. Victory or defeat will be determined by three criteria: first, if either party concedes; second, if either party is knocked off the arena; third, if either party is killed. Therefore, all participants must be prepared for life and death. If there are any casualties, neither party may seek revenge against the other. Now we will begin drawing lots for the first round; all participants please come forward."
After a moment, the results of the draw were revealed: Sima Qian faced Blade One; All-Round Talent Zhuge Kongming faced Xiang Yu of Sand Flow Sect; Eastern Dragon faced Su Shi of Dongting Lake; painter Zhang Qian faced Monk Tang Xuanzhuang of Daxiong Temple; recluse Tao Yuanliang faced Poet Sect Leader Du Fu; Yamada Koji, under the alias Li Xin, faced Tangmen Young Master Tang Bo Hu who is immune to all poisons; Xian Haixing faced Jianghu Hero Dull Blade of the Wandering Sword; and in match forty-five, Yi Junsheng faced Lumberjack Liu Hai...
Yi Junsheng remarked, "A lumberjack? You think you have what it takes to participate? What has this world come to?"
Liu Hai retorted, "Don't look down on me; I will definitely eliminate you, White Face." He then walked away.
Yi Junsheng was furious upon hearing this: "Fine! You lumberjack don’t focus on chopping wood but instead want to join this Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage? You must be tired of living! Just wait and see."
Yi Junsheng approached Zhang Qian: "Great painter, could you do me a favor and draw a portrait of that lumberjack Liu Hai?"
Zhang Qian asked, "What do you want that for?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "That's none of your concern; just draw it. Oh dear, what has happened in these times that even monks are coming to participate in Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage? It seems even monks can't control their desires."
Zhang Qianyun: "Wine and meat can pass through the intestines, let alone a beauty? Take the portrait."
Yi Junsheng: "Thank you, I will leave for a while, please."
Sima Qian faced Blade One, both sides exchanging blows without yielding. The clash of blades and halberds sparked countless bright flashes, dazzling to behold. Blade One twisted the knife, accelerating the attack, aiming to win with speed. Sima Qian understood Blade One's intentions clearly and swiftly spun the long halberd to prevent Blade One from closing in. Blade One, unable to approach, could only unleash knife energy to attack. The signature move of Famous Sword Sect, "One Cut Breaking Thousands," was executed with overwhelming force. Seeing this, Sima Qian also unleashed halberd energy to block; however, Blade One's knife energy was formidable and powerful. Sima Qian's halberd struggled against its edge and was pushed back several steps, falling off the Arena. The first round of the first highlight battle ended in an upset.
Yi Junsheng arrived at an Earthen House two miles from Murong Manor, asking, "Is the Clangorous Guard Team here?"
At that moment, several people emerged from the house and said, "We are the Clangorous Guard Team. You are White Face, Yi Junsheng, right? It's been so long since we last met; you've become quite handsome!"
Yi Junsheng replied, "Let's not talk about me. I'm here for something important to tell you."
"What is it?"
Yi Junsheng said: "Do you know that a villain who commits heinous acts has recently appeared nearby? This scoundrel has committed numerous crimes that are too many to list. Now this villain has set his sights on Murong Manor's Miss Murong, daring to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage. If he wins, then Sister Murong will be in grave danger."
"Such a thing has happened! We cannot stand by and let this villain have his way. What do you want us to do, Yi Junsheng?"
Yi Junsheng handed over a portrait and said: "This is a portrait of the villain. You should go to Murong Manor, lure him out, capture him, and then bring him here to properly Guard the Area. Wait for me to return before we deal with him. Here are fifty taels as your reward."
"No problem, we'll do it."
Yi Junsheng: "I forgot to ask your name last time we met; what is it?"
One person replied: "My name is Clanging Rose."
Yi Junsheng: "Oh, and you?"
Another person said: "My name is Clanging Carnation."
Upon hearing this, Yi Junsheng nearly fainted and said: "I dislike carnations the most; you should change your name quickly! Let's call you Resounding Peony."
Clanging Carnation: "Whatever you say; we will take action now."
The first round of the second highlight battle at Murong Manor Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage featured All-Round Talent Zhuge Kongming against the leader of the Sand Flow Sect, Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu possessed immense strength and fierce palm energy. Zhuge Kongming, using skillful techniques, maneuvered between his opponent's attacks. The two exchanged blows for hundreds of rounds. Though sweating profusely and panting heavily, Xiang Yu continued to press on while Zhuge Kongming remained composed. At this moment, Zhuge Kongming took out the Zhuge crossbow and fired several arrows in quick succession. Seeing this, Xiang Yu immediately tried to dodge but was too slow; he was hit by two arrows in his lower body and was suddenly injured and unable to stand. Then, with one palm strike, Zhuge Kongming knocked Xiang Yu off the Arena, concluding this predictable match.
The Clangorous Guard Team arrived at Murong Manor, searching among the crowd for the villain Liu Hai mentioned by Yi Junsheng. Suddenly, Clanging Rose spotted the target and lured Liu Hai out of the manor with false words. Outside the manor, several members of the Clangorous Guard Team surrounded Liu Hai. Clanging Rose said, "Villain, surrender quickly to avoid us taking action."
Liu Hai was confused and intended to explain. However, Clanging Carnation launched an attack first, and seeing this, everyone joined in the assault. Liu Hai had no choice but to defend himself. Although Liu Hai had a certain level of cultivation, he was outnumbered by the Clangorous Guard Team. Ultimately, he was captured by them. Clanging Carnation suggested, "Why not eliminate this threat to the people and kill him here?" Clanging Rose replied, "We must not be reckless; let’s take him back to Earthen House first and then decide."
Meanwhile, in Murong Manor, Yi Junsheng was pleased not to see Liu Hai. He thought to himself: This time, I will win without a fight.
The highly anticipated third match of the first round featured Giant Axe Splitting the River Waves against Dongting Lake Young Master Su Shi. Eastern Dragon initiated the attack, wielding his Great Axe with ease. Su Shi swiftly maneuvered his brush with skillful precision. Eastern Dragon refused to yield an inch, while Su Shi stood his ground; the two fought fiercely, causing the very mountains to shake.
As they battled intensely, various speculations about the outcome spread among the spectators below in the Arena. Sanwei Daoist asked Yi Junsheng, "Yi, who do you think will win this match?"
Yi Junsheng replied, "Of course it will be Great Literary Master Su Shi! That Tall Guy Eastern Dragon struck me last time; my heart still aches from it. No matter what happens this time, I will support Great Literary Master."
Yi Junsheng shouted loudly towards the Arena, "Great Literary Master Su Shi! Use the momentum from your writing 'In a moment of laughter, the masts turn to ashes' to defeat that damned Tall Guy and avenge me!"
Sanwei Daoist said, "Yi, you are mistaken; this Su Shi is not that Su Shi."
Yi Junsheng responded, "I don’t care; just make sure he teaches him a lesson."
