The Dazzling New Star of the Heroes of the Martial World
Above the Northern Martial Arts Insect Peak, after Half-Dragon Yan Mingmu, the Half Locust Man remained unmoved, instead flapping his wings rapidly, creating a whirlwind that enveloped the scene in a chilling atmosphere. The Half-Dragon was unwilling to back down, swinging his dragon tail to counter the incoming force, dispelling the eerie aura.
The Half Locust Man flipped his hands and executed his signature move, "Endless Devouring of Grain," causing the air currents to rapidly converge into a towering tornado that rushed towards the Half-Dragon. Faced with such an extraordinary force, the Half-Dragon unleashed his divine technique, "Flying Dragon," summoning a massive dragon formed from clouds and air to strike at the Half Locust Man's attack. The two clan leaders clashed with their astonishing moves, creating a powerful force that shook the universe and intimidated those present. Both combatants were pushed back by each other's techniques, and the Half-Dragon intended to continue battling the Half Locust Man. At that moment, the Half Locust Man spoke: "The leader of the Beast Clan is indeed extraordinary. Today, I have finally witnessed your prowess. Please, let us discuss this further inside." Thus, the Half-Dragon withdrew his attack and entered the cave of Insect Peak.
The Half Locust Man said: "I had already anticipated that you would come here, but I did not expect it to be so soon."
The Half-Dragon asked in confusion: "Oh, does Insect Head possess prophetic abilities?"
The Half Locust Man replied: "Not at all. Recently, your Half-Beast Army suffered a devastating defeat at Poetry Sect. With your current strength, it is impossible for you to contend against the numerous factions of Central Plains. Therefore, you urgently need assistance, and the only one who can provide that support is my kind, the Half-Insect Man. If you seek cooperation, you must come here."
The Half-Dragon bowed his hands and said: "Insect Head is wise. Since you are aware of my intentions, what do you propose?"
The Half Locust Man spread his wings to accelerate the flow of air, creating a tense atmosphere before saying: "After your Half-Orc's battle with the Central Plains Martial Arts Community at Poetry Sect, you have suffered heavy losses. Now only remnants remain; do you think you still have the capital to cooperate with me?"
The Half-Dragon responded: "If Insect Head believes this, then you underestimate my Half-Orc clan. Our elites have yet to fully engage in battle. Moreover, I have an ally who understands martial arts well—Duanmu Chong. He is highly skilled and exceptionally wise; with his help, how could we possibly fail to gain control over the martial world? I have heard that Insect Head has captured Ouyang Xiu, Leader of the Poetry and Rhyme Sect. I happen to have a plan to eliminate Mengzi and others from the Martial Arts Community in one fell swoop. This plan involves using Ouyang Xiu; Insect Head can spread word that Ouyang Xiu will be executed three days later at Western Mountain Path. At that time, Mengzi and others will surely come to rescue him, allowing us to annihilate them at Western Mountain Path."
The Half Locust Man replied: "Western Mountain Path? I have heard it is a narrow trail flanked by steep cliffs on both sides, with only a spacious entrance and exit—truly an excellent place for an ambush and extermination. Very well, we shall proceed as you suggest. But there remains one crucial question: after we eliminate the factions of Central Plains Martial Arts World, how shall we divide our territories?"
The Half-Dragon said: "We shall split it evenly; each of us will govern our half without infringing upon each other."
The Half Locust Man remarked: "A good suggestion. However, do you think Mengzi and others will easily fall for your plan and come to rescue him?"
The Half-Dragon laughed heartily: "You need not worry about this; those in the martial world value loyalty and righteousness above all else. Once word is out, they will certainly come to rescue him."
The Half Locust Man asked: "But what about Yi Zhangzhi and Murong Mulong from Martial Arts Alliance? If they intervene to rescue him, what shall we do?"
The Half-Dragon replied: "Insect Head need not worry; Yi Zhangzhi is a public enemy in Wulin; he would not dare appear recklessly. Otherwise, Mengzi and others would deal with him before we even had a chance. As for Murong Mulong, he is one of the Five Great Swordsmen of the Martial World and holds himself in high regard; unless someone invites him to assist in rescuing someone, he will not come on his own accord. Regarding those from Martial Arts Tribunal, they are currently preoccupied with matters concerning Sword Demon Tiedan; how could they find time to rescue anyone?"
Half Locust Man: "It seems Half-Dragon that you have everything planned out. Alright, let's do it this way. We'll meet again at Western Mountain Path in three days."
Half-Dragon bowed in salute, "Farewell." He then left Insect Peak.
Inside Sun Simiao's grass hut, Half Lion Man and Sun Simiao faced each other coldly. Sun Simiao, unwilling to be captured, took the initiative to attack. Although Half Lion Man was injured, he was more than capable of dealing with Medicine King Sun Simiao. In just a few moves, Sun Simiao was knocked to the ground by Half Lion Man. At that moment, Medicine King Sun Simiao coughed, and the bronze man Yamada Koji cut the ropes, falling to the ground and preparing to attack Half Lion Man. Curious about how powerful this Zombie was, capable of killing the elite Half-Orc known as Half-Tiger Man, Half Lion Man lunged at Yamada Koji with his claws, unleashing a fierce strike aimed at his vital points. However, all these attacks were in vain; Yamada Koji remained unscathed. Even more terrifying was that once Yamada Koji launched his assault, it became an endless barrage until his opponent was dead.
Faced with Yamada Koji's swift blade attacks, Half Lion Man could only rely on his incredible speed to evade. The highly skilled Half Lion Man found himself helpless against the invulnerable and energy-resistant Yamada Koji. After dozens of exchanges, Half Lion Man was panting heavily and drenched in sweat. Suddenly, he had a thought and unleashed a powerful move that sent Yamada Koji flying out of the grass hut while he turned to attack Sun Simiao. Before Yamada Koji could return, Half Lion Man subdued Sun Simiao and forced him to ingest the unique poison of the Half-Orc, the Seven-Day Heartbreak Poison. At that moment, Yamada Koji crashed through the window from outside and continued to attack Half Lion Man. However, Sun Simiao called for a halt to Yamada Koji.
Half Lion Man: "Sun Simiao, you made a wise choice. Now you two should follow me." Although he was Medicine King Sun Simiao, faced with this previously unseen poison, he had no solution for now and could only temporarily submit to the tyranny of Half Lion Man. Thus, Sun Simiao led Yamada Koji to follow Half Lion Man towards the Northern Martial Arts.
Inside the prison of the Martial Arts Tribunal, Bao Qing dismissed all the guards and prepared to negotiate with Sword Demon Tiedan. Sword Demon Tiedan: "Let me out? Hahaha! What can I do now if I get out into the Martial Arts Alliance? I can't even defeat an ordinary thug anymore. Unless you can restore my powers, there's nothing to discuss."
Bao Qing: "Restoring your powers is not easy! Give me another condition."
Sword Demon Tiedan: "I just want my powers back. If you can't do that, then go find out who the traitor is yourself."
Angry, Bao Qing left the cell: "If that's the case, then I'll have to start with someone else. Currently, besides Sword Demon Tiedan, there are two others who know who the traitor is: that would be Master and Apprentice Duanmu Chong. It seems I need to find a way to capture them."
The news of the impending execution of Ouyang Xiu by the three at Western Mountain Path was released by Half-Insect Man. Upon receiving this information, people from the Confucius Academy, including Hua Mulan, expressed their urgency to rescue him. Dreamy Beauty: "Western Mountain Path has an unfavorable terrain for rescue; it's likely that Half-Insect Man chose this location to trap anyone attempting a rescue. We must not fall into his trap."
Fan Buzhao: "Even so, are we just going to watch as Half-Insect Man executes Ouyang Zhangmen, doing nothing?"
Mengzi: "No matter what ambush awaits us at Western Mountain Path, we must save him. Let's discuss our rescue strategy now."
Dreamy Beauty: "Since you all want to throw away your lives for nothing, I won't accompany you any longer. I'm taking my leave." With that, she left the Confucius Academy.
Zhuge Kongming: "Perhaps we can adopt a strategy of surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao. In three days, we can split into two groups: one group will head towards the base of Insect Peak, launching a full-scale attack there while most of the forces of Half-Insect Man will likely be ambushed at the Western Mountain Path. There will only be a few remaining at Insect Peak for us to seize control over it. This way, when those at Western Mountain Path see their comrades returning to support Insect Peak , our other group can then proceed to rescue him."
Liang Shanbo asked, "What if after you capture Insect Peak, the Half-Insect Man on the Western Mountain Path does not return to support? There is also the possibility that the Half-Insect Man at Insect Peak directly abandons it. How should we respond?"
Zhuge Kongming argued, "Insect Peak is the stronghold of the Half-Insect Man. They cannot easily give up this base. Moreover, there must be important figures among the Half-Insect Man inside Insect Peak. As long as we capture Insect Peak and take one or two Half-Insect Man, we can use them to exchange for Ouyang Zhangmen, without having to risk a rescue on the Western Mountain Path."
Mengzi said, "Young Hero Zhuge makes a valid point. I believe this plan is feasible. In three days, I think the elite of the Half-Insect Man will be ambushed on the Western Mountain Path. I will lead my disciples to rescue him there; Young Hero Zhuge will lead the Martial Arts Community to attack the stronghold of the Half-Insect Man at Insect Peak. Once you succeed, signal us so we can begin the rescue."
Zhuge Kongming replied, "Alright, let's agree on this."
Yi Junsheng and Reverse Head also heard about the Half-Insect Man planning to execute Ouyang Xiu on the Western Mountain Path. Yi Junsheng said, "This Western Mountain Path is flanked by two Summit. If we seal off the entrances and set a fire, anyone trying to rescue him will be roasted alive. Wouldn't that be a feast for the Half-Insect Man?"
Reverse Head responded, "What nonsense! Does the Half-Insect Man even eat meat? It seems like only a Half-Orc would do that. Besides, a Half-Orc eats raw meat, not cooked."
Yi Junsheng replied, "The intentions of the Half-Insect Man are clear to everyone in the martial world. Who would be foolish enough to go and get themselves killed trying to save someone?"
Reverse Head said, "You don't understand. This Ouyang Zhangmen has considerable prestige in the Martial Arts Alliance. If he is executed and no one goes to save him, it would cause a collapse in the martial world. Those who have connections with him will certainly try to rescue him. Mengzi, from the Confucius Academy, who has always advocated for a harmonious world, will definitely go. As for others, I can't say."
Yi Junsheng concluded, "Alright then, if we don't go save him, people in the martial world will look down on us. We need to observe from outside the perimeter of the Western Mountain Path, waiting for an opportunity."
