The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Inside the Martial Arts Tribunal, Yi Junsheng entered. The three men in the neighboring cell, Tang Bo Hu and his companions, felt much better upon seeing Yi Junsheng trapped in the same predicament. Tang Bo Hu said, "White Face, you also got caught for doing something wrong. What a fitting retribution! Remember how righteous and passionate you were in court? And now look at you, a prisoner."
Yi Junsheng replied, "Oh, you Tang Bo Hu, are you so happy to see me here? Do you really think I’m guilty? I was falsely accused!"
Lin Cong interjected, "Iron-Faced Impartial - Bao Qing has never made a wrong judgment. If you're here, it must mean there's solid evidence against you. So tell us, what grave crime did you commit?"
Yi Junsheng said, "I committed no crime; I was simply blind to recognize a treacherous wolf in sheep's clothing. Truly, disaster came from within my own walls."
Tang Bo Hu asked, "Which friend betrayed you?"
Yi Junsheng angrily replied, "That damned Sanwei Daoist! I swear here that once I get out, I will not let him go. I want him to experience a fate worse than death; I will flay him alive and break his bones."
Tang Bo Hu laughed heartily and said, "White Face, look at you now! How about I poison you to end your miserable life? That way, I can avenge my grudge too. Who knows, Chief Justice Bao might even reduce my sentence!"
Seeing this, Yi Junsheng hurriedly said, "Wait! Tang Bo Hu, we are both fallen souls; why should we hold onto past grievances? Besides, if you kill me, you won't get a reduced sentence. Killing someone while imprisoned only adds to your crimes; it’s not worth it."
After thinking it over, Tang Bo Hu said, "You have a point. I'll spare your life this time."
Yi Junsheng expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for sparing me. To repay your kindness, I have a way for us to escape this cell."
Tang Bo Hu was overjoyed and asked, "What method? Tell me quickly!"
Yi Junsheng explained, "I noticed that the damned Tall Guy is obviously very dissatisfied with Chief Justice Bao for sentencing me to a hundred years of imprisonment. I believe he will do everything he can to kill me. Since I'm locked up now, he has no chance to act; therefore, he is likely to come to break me out of prison. At that time, I can escape while he can kill me under the pretense of rescuing me."
Tang Bo Hu said, "So someone will come to break you out soon?"
"Exactly," Yi Junsheng confirmed. "But if you want to escape from prison, be prepared for the consequences. The entire martial world will hunt you down afterward; there may not be a place for you in this vast Divine Land."
Tang Bo Hu replied confidently, "As long as we get out of here, I'm not afraid of anything. If necessary, I’ll just leave the Tang Clan and roam freely."
Yi Junsheng said, "You can escape in the chaos; my life is in grave danger. That damn Tall Guy must have been prepared and is out to take my life."
Tang Bo Hu replied, "If that's the case, you don't have to leave. If you stay here, he won't be able to do anything."
Yi Junsheng angrily retorted, "Nonsense! Are you suggesting I stay here and wait to die? After a hundred years, will I even have a chance to escape?"
Tang Bo Hu asked, "So what are you going to do?"
Yi Junsheng inquired of Tang Bo Hu, "Do you still have that poison Laughing Step into Madness?"
Tang Bo Hu answered, "Yes."
Yi Junsheng said, "Hurry and give me some; it might save my life."
Tang Bo Hu replied, "Alright, take it."
Within the Martial Arts Sect, Duanmu Chong received news that the Taoist Sect had not taken action against Yi Zhangzhi. Duanmu Chong stated, "It seems the pressure from the martial world is not enough to compel the Taoist Sect to make a choice. I need to create greater public opinion; Yi Zhangzhi, you will not stop my ambitions. Ben Aoxiang, inform Du Fu, Ouyang Xiu, and others to pressure the Taoist Sect; we must force them to punish Yi Zhangzhi."
Ben Aoxiang said, "Understood. Regarding Bao Qing's request for the leader to personally deal with Sword Demon Tiedan, what does the leader intend to do?"
Duanmu Chong replied, "I will personally confront Sword Demon Tiedan and see what abilities he has to be listed among the Five Great Swordsmen of the Martial World."
As night fell, Eastern Proud Dragon indeed prepared to come to the Martial Arts Tribunal prison as Yi Junsheng had said, intending to orchestrate an escape for Yi Junsheng, aiming for a swift execution. Dressed in a Night Cloak, with his face covered in black cloth, his tall stature made it easy for those familiar with him to recognize his identity. Eastern Proud Dragon knocked out the prison guard and tossed the keys into various cells. Upon seeing the keys, Yi Junsheng, Tang Bo Hu, and others understood it was time to escape. They quickly picked up the keys and opened their cell doors, rushing toward the exit. The four escaped from their cells and split into four directions to flee, with people from the Judicial Court already chasing after them. Yi Junsheng fled into the dense forest, where he was met by none other than Eastern Proud Dragon. Eastern Proud Dragon declared, "The unrepentant White Face, how dare you break out of prison? Today I will deliver justice; speak your last words."
Yi Junsheng replied, "Damn it, Tall Guy, do you think this will be enough to kill me? Just watch what I can do."
Eastern Proud Dragon asked, "Are your last words finished? If so, prepare to die." He then swung his axe at Yi Junsheng.
At that critical moment between life and death, Yi Junsheng unleashed the Tang Sect's deadly poison, Laughing Step into Madness. Fearing contamination, Eastern Proud Dragon dared not approach. Taking advantage of this moment, Yi Junsheng escaped. As the poison mist slowly dissipated, Eastern Proud Dragon realized that Yi Junsheng had fled and hurriedly pursued him. Yi Junsheng ran straight toward the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, while it seemed that Eastern Proud Dragon had figured out his escape route and also rushed toward the direction of the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain.
Due to pressure from figures like Du Fu, Ouyang Xiu, and others from the Martial Arts Community, they urged the Taoist Sect to punish Yi Zhangzhi, who practiced the Demonic Arts. Under public pressure, the Taoist Sect Daoist Master Taiyi had no choice but to send people like Yan Jizi to capture Yi Zhangzhi at the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain.
The Nightmare Demon and the Dragon's Saliva have arrived at the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, while Yi Zhangzhi from the Taoist Sect is also on his way back to the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain.
Within the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, Yamada Koji quietly approached, while Zhuge Kongming had already tracked him to the outskirts of the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain. Yamada Koji formally met Murong Yaoxian, and upon seeing her beauty, he was momentarily lost in thought and said nothing. Murong Yaoxian recalled that this person was Li Xin, who participated in the martial arts competition at Murong Manor, and asked, "I wonder what brings Young Master Li here?"
Yamada Koji ignored Murong Yaoxian's words and remained in a daze. At this moment, Zhuge Kongming outside the courtyard also spotted Murong Yaoxian. She was the dream girl of Zhuge Kongming, who could not allow Yamada Koji to take the lead and promptly entered the courtyard. Zhuge Kongming said to Murong Yaoxian, "Miss Murong, so you are here. No wonder I couldn't find you anywhere."
Murong Yaoxian replied, "It is Young Master Zhuge. I wonder what you seek from a lady?"
Hearing the man's voice, Yamada Koji snapped out of his reverie and turned to see Zhuge Kongming. Without a word, Yamada Koji drew his sword and quickly attacked Zhuge Kongming. Not understanding why he was being attacked, Zhuge Kongming had no choice but to defend himself and fired several arrows with his crossbow. Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, Yi Junsheng hurriedly returned, with Eastern Proud Dragon chasing after him. At this moment, the Sword Demon Tiedan descended with his sword and also arrived at the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain. Sword Demon Tiedan declared, "Where is Yi Zhangzhi? Come out and witness my sword."
Before Sword Demon Tiedan could finish speaking, a verse echoed: "The earth does not exist; only I am supreme." The leader of the martial arts world, Martial Saint Duanmu Chonghao, descended majestically. Duanmu Chong stated, "Sword Demon Tiedan, I have come specifically to learn your abilities."
At this moment of extreme tension, the owner of the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, Ming Lang Qian Kun (Yi Zhangzhi), returned from outside. Following closely behind were Yan Jizi and others sent by the Taoist Sect to capture Yi Zhangzhi.
Tension filled the air. Within the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, a confrontation among many masters including Yi Zhangzhi, Sword Demon Tiedan, Duanmu Chonghao, Yan Jizi, Where is the Dao?, Xian Daoqi, Yi Junsheng, Eastern Proud Dragon, Zhuge Kongming, and Yamada Koji was imminent. What will be the outcome of this chaotic battle? With the Nightmare Demon and Dragon's Saliva about to arrive at the Martial Bamboo Divine Domain, how will this affect the situation on site?
