Honghuang: Fire De Huaguang, I am the Horse King of Human Education

King Zhou clapped his hands in approval.

"A brilliant plan, Immortal Master!"

He immediately ordered Li Jing to be imprisoned and then bowed respectfully to Hua Guang.

"This time, we are very grateful to the immortal for turning the tide."

Hua Guang returned the greeting.

"It's my duty. But with the Heavenly Court's help, Xiqi may face even more trouble in the future."

Before the words were finished, suddenly auspicious clouds appeared in the southern sky, accompanied by faint celestial music.

A majestic voice resounded throughout Chaoge.

"Hua Guang! You killed my disciples and ruined my grand plan. Today, I will settle the score with you!"

Ran Deng returned, followed by the Twelve Golden Immortals!

The rough roar was like a thunderclap, and the barren mountain outside Chentang Pass collapsed in response, with rocks flying into the air and dust billowing into the sky.

The people inside the pass fled in panic, while the soldiers guarding the city gripped their weapons tightly, keeping a close watch on any unusual activity outside the city.

In the ruins of the General's Mansion's backyard, Madam Yin pushed aside the broken beams and walked out.

Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were stained with blood, but her gaze was as sharp as an eagle's.

Upon catching a glimpse of the mangled corpse on the ground, she clenched her teeth and straightened her spine.

"Men! Put on your armor!"

The guards hurriedly handed over the armor, and Lady Yin deftly tightened the belt, grabbed the Qingfeng sword, and climbed onto the city wall.

The soldiers' morale soared when they saw that their mistress was unharmed.

"Everyone!"

Lady Yin pointed her sword towards the clouds.

"General Li was murdered by the treacherous old villain Ran Deng and Jiang Ziya! This is an irreconcilable feud!"

She skillfully glossed over the landslide, her words dripping with sorrow.

"The traitors of Xiqi killed my husband and are about to break through our pass. How can we sit idly by and wait to die!"

The people were in uproar upon hearing this, filled with grief and indignation. The adjutant hurried forward.

"Madam, what about that barren mountain?"

"Why panic!"

Madam Yin interrupted sharply.

"It's nothing but a petty trick! Soldiers, listen to my command: defend Chentang Pass to the death! Once the imperial reinforcements arrive, we will ensure that the traitors never return!"

Above the clouds, Ran Deng's face was ashen.

Jiang Ziya was completely at a loss.

"Uncle-Master, what about Madam Yin?"

"Just a clown."

Burning lamp stared intently at the collapsing barren mountain.

"The real trouble is yet to come."

The Qiankun Ruler in his sleeve hummed incessantly, and the flame of the coffin lamp flickered erratically.

The adjutant leaned closer to Madam Yin and whispered.

"Madam, is that what's being suppressed at the foot of that desolate mountain?"

"shut up!"

Lady Yin scolded.

"What witch? That's the Martial Ancestor of the Human Race!"

She deliberately raised her voice.

"The Yellow Emperor, with his benevolence, left his spirit here to suppress the grave. Now that someone wants to dig up the tomb, how can we stand idly by!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers turned pale and knelt down.

"I am willing to die alongside you, Madam!"

Just then, the collapsed barren mountain suddenly fell silent.

The smoke and dust slowly settled, revealing a huge crater ten feet deep.

At the bottom of the pit, the broken chains and several broken bronze arrows are faintly visible.

"The Heaven-Shaking Arrow of the Universe Bow".

The lamp's pupils contracted sharply.

"The object used for suppression has disappeared!"

Before he could finish speaking, a giant hand suddenly emerged from the bottom of the pit!

The hand, formed from black energy, with five fingers like pillars, suddenly gripped the edge of the pit.

The entire Chentang Pass shook violently, and the city walls crumbled and crumbled.

"Light the lamp—!"

The roar shook the clouds, and a dark figure leaped out of the pit.

He was nine feet tall, his body was shrouded in black and red aura, his face was ferocious like a ghost, and he had two horns on his forehead.

With each step, the ground cracked open for several feet.

The true spirit of Chi You has appeared in the world!

His bloodshot eyes locked onto the lamp.

"Those who killed my guardian and destroyed the Xuanyuan Seal—they deserve to die!"

After saying that, he threw a punch, and the black mist transformed into a fierce tiger that pounced towards the clouds.

The lanterns were lit and the apricot-yellow flag was raised to defend against the attack, but the precious light collided with the black tiger, creating a deafening roar.

Jiang Ziya was so shocked that his blood and qi surged, and he lost his voice.

"Martial Ancestor, please calm your anger! I did not kill Li Jing!"

Chi You ignored him completely and followed up with a second punch.

This punch, imbued with the murderous aura of an ancient battlefield, caused the apricot-yellow banner's precious light to shake violently.

"madman!"

Ran Deng gritted his teeth and urged the coffin lamp to burn, unleashing a torrent of fire from the netherworld.

To everyone's surprise, Chi You neither dodged nor avoided the flames, allowing them to engulf him, and the black aura only intensified.

"Even the old man Xuanyuan couldn't burn me to death, what makes you think you can fight with your meager skills?"

He suddenly inhaled and swallowed the ghostly fire whole!

Upon seeing this, Lady Yin immediately cried out.

"Grand Ancestor, you are wise! The one who killed Li Jing was indeed Randeng! This traitor from Xiqi even dared to break your seal; he deserves to die a thousand deaths!"

Chi You was enraged upon hearing this and intensified his attack. His fists pounded like war drums, dimming the luster of the apricot-yellow flag.

Ran Deng retreated repeatedly, then suddenly spotted a broken arrow in the pit and shouted sharply.

"Chi You! You have broken the seal, where is the Qiankun Bow?"

These words seemed to remind Chi You of something.

His offensive slowed slightly, and his scarlet eyes swept across the entire arena.

"Where is the bow? Where is Xuanyuan's bow?!"

Only then did everyone realize that the ancient divine bow that had been in the pit was nowhere to be found. Randeng's face was extremely grim.

"No wonder the seal weakened. Someone took the Qiankun Bow before us!"

Chi You suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed wildly.

"Good! Good! You old man, you've finally met your match!"

He stared intently at the lamp.

"Since the bow is missing, we'll use you, a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, to fill the gap!"

The black energy surged and transformed into a giant axe, slashing down with the force to split mountains and shatter peaks.

Ran Deng hurriedly threw out the Qiankun Ruler, and the ruler and axe collided with a piercing sound.

"Be careful, Uncle-Master!"

Jiang Ziya suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He saw Chi You split into three clones, attacking from different directions!

The dark path ahead was dangerous, so he quickly spun the apricot-yellow flag to protect himself. But then, with a tearing sound, the flag was ripped open!
It turns out that Chi You's true spirit contained the secret techniques of the Wu tribe, which were specifically designed to break Taoist magic weapons.

"go!"

The lamp-burning lantern tried to pull Jiang Ziya away, but Chi You had already set up a barrier, making the surrounding space as solid as an iron plate.

Lady Yin, who had a clear view from the city wall, suddenly gave an order.

"Bring me the blood wine!"

The guards carried over a jar of strong liquor, and Lady Yin cut her wrist, letting her blood drip into the jar.

She raised her glass in a toast from afar.

"Martial Ancestor! I am the thirty-seventh generation descendant of the Yin Shang dynasty. I beg you, Ancestor, to drink this blood wine and together we will vanquish the foreign enemy!"

Chi You paused, his scarlet eyes sweeping over.

"The Yin-Shang dynasty? Descendants of that brat Cheng Tang?"

"Exactly!"

Lady Yin raised her head.

"Your ancestor, Cheng Tang, inherited the legacy of a great general under the Martial Ancestor, so you are half a human disciple!"

These words seemed to evoke memories for Chi You.

He actually reached out and caught the wine jar, then tilted his head back and drank it all.

"That kid Cheng Tang is quite interesting."

He casually tossed the wine jar to pieces, and the black aura subsided slightly.

"For the sake of our old friendship, we will not break through this city today."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ran Deng launched a fierce attack on the Qiankun Ruler, finally tearing open a gap in the restriction.

Just as he was about to flee, Chi You suddenly punched the ground.

"Want to leave? Leave something behind!"

The earth cracked open into a deep abyss, and the aura of the underworld surged forth.

Ran Deng screamed in agony as his left arm was bound by black energy and instantly withered away like a piece of firewood!

He ruthlessly cut off his own arm and fled in a sorry state with Jiang Ziya.

Chi You did not pursue them, but turned to look at the city wall.

"Little girl, who took the Qiankun Bow?"

Lady Yin bowed.

"This junior does not know. But it must be related to the traitors of Xiqi!"

Chi You's crimson eyes flashed, and he suddenly reached out to grab at the void.

With a muffled groan, a man in black was pulled out of the shadows—it was none other than Ju Liusun, who had disappeared earlier!
"The little bugs of the Chan Sect."

Chi You gripped his neck.

"Tell me! Where is the bow?!"

Fearing that Sun might have difficulty speaking, he finally managed to get through to the conversation.

"It was taken away by Huaguang!" "Bullshit!"

Chi You increased the pressure on his hands.

"That brat Hua Guang cultivates the righteous path of humanity, what use does he have for Xuanyuan's killing bow!"

Fearing that his grandson would bleed from all seven orifices.

"Really. He came here the day before yesterday. Ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was crushed into minced meat.

Chi You shook the blood off his hands, lost in thought.

"Hua Guang, no wonder I couldn't sense Gong's breath."

He suddenly looked at Madam Yin.

"Little girl, I have a task for you: find out the whereabouts of the Qiankun Bow. Otherwise..."

He pointed to the ground beneath his feet.

"The next place to collapse will be Chentang Pass."

Black energy surged, and Chi You's figure gradually sank into the ground.

Before leaving, he suddenly flicked his finger at the pile of Li Jing's flesh and blood, and the meat paste turned into ashes and vanished.

"Traitors don't deserve to be left with a whole corpse."

Silence returned to the heavens and earth, leaving only a scene of devastation. Lady Yin staggered and clung to the battlements, cold sweat finally pouring down her face. The adjutant asked in a trembling voice.

"Madam, now..."

"Shut up!"

Madam Yin took a deep breath.

"Anyone who dares to spread this matter will have their entire family executed!"

She gazed at the desolate mountain and the giant pit, her fingernails digging into her palms.

With the disappearance of the Qiankun Bow and the reappearance of Chi You, this chaos has only just begun.

She had a vague feeling that the immortal Huaguang, who had saved her, was probably the one who truly held the reins.

Ran Deng steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and suddenly let out a mocking laugh.

"What a human martial ancestor! He's just a mixed-blood witch, yet he dares to receive offerings from the human race?"

He deliberately raised his voice so that the whole city could hear it.

"Chi You! Ask anyone in the city how many people recognize your half-shamanic body!"

Chi You's body surged with black energy, and his scarlet eyes suddenly shrank.

In the Battle of Zhuolu, it was precisely because he possessed the bloodline of the Wu tribe that he was ultimately abandoned by the human race.

In that deathly silence, Lady Yin suddenly rose up, her armor gleaming.

She was the first to kneel down, her voice clear and melodious.

"The Yin family of Chentang Pass pays respects to the Martial Ancestor of the Human Race!"

The Qingfeng sword was driven heavily into the brick wall.

"If it weren't for the battle techniques passed down by the Martial Ancestor, the human race would have long since become food for the demon race!"

The city fell silent for a moment, then erupted like a landslide and a tsunami.

"Greetings, Martial Ancestor!"

"Thank you, Martial Ancestor, for passing on your skills!"

"May the Martial Ancestor be victorious!"

Thousands of people knelt in the streets and alleys, their incense offerings and prayers surging towards Chiyou like a tidal wave.

His mutilated body solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, and golden light of merit emanated from within the black and red aura!
"you"

Ran Deng was dumbfounded, never expecting his plan to backfire.

Chi You looked up to the sky and roared, his voice shaking the heavens.

"Did you hear that? This is humanity's answer!"

He clenched his fist suddenly, and his humanitarian merits transformed into golden armor that covered his body.

"Today I will show you the true power of the Martial Ancestor!"

The Qiankun Ruler struck again, but Chi You neither dodged nor evaded, instead unleashing a punch.

The clash between fist and ruler produced a resounding, booming sound. The ruler wailed and flew back, its surface cracking with even more marks!
"impossible!"

The lamp was horrified.

"How can you control the merits of humanity?"

"That old man Xuanyuan owes me!"

Chi You stepped forward, each step causing the earth to tremble and mountains to shake.

"Let's collect some interest today!"

He suddenly roared into the void.

"Come with the knife——!"

Ten thousand miles away, in the small world of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Iron-Eating Beast was gnawing on bamboo shoots when it suddenly felt a strange object vibrate beneath its rear.

It reluctantly moved its fat body aside and pulled a rusty, large knife out of the pile of bamboo shoots.

"Ow?"

The panda poked the hilt with its paw, and suddenly the rust on the broadsword disappeared, revealing the blood-red blade.

A tiger's roar shook the heavens, and a phantom tiger leaped into the air as if about to leap!
"Woo!"

The raging creature covered its head and fled in terror, but the knife sliced ​​through space and vanished in an instant.

It paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered Chi You's instruction to "keep an eye on the knife," and hurriedly chased after it, its hooves creating clouds.

"Give me back my knife!"

Above Chentang Pass, crimson blade light tore through the sky.

The Tiger Soul Blade pierced through the air and landed in Chi You's hand. The instant the blade was in his grasp, the roar of ten thousand tigers resounded throughout the heavens and earth! Blood flowed across the blade as if it were alive, and the spirit of the fierce tiger roared to the sky.

"Old friend, sorry to keep you waiting."

Chi You stroked the blade, his eyes blazing with crimson light. The Tiger Soul Blade trembled with excitement, its blood-red light soaring into the sky, staining the clouds crimson.

Ran Deng's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly offered a sacrifice to the coffin lamp.

"Jiang Shang, help me!"

A pillar of ghostly blue fire poured down.

Chi You laughed and brandished his sword.

"break!"

The crimson blade, like a sky-splitting blade, cleaved the ghostly fire in two! Its momentum undiminished, it struck the apricot-yellow flag!
The innate banner shattered upon impact, and the burning lamp sprayed blood and flew backward.

Jiang Ziya was so frightened that he dropped his God-Slaying Whip, which was then struck by the wind from the blade, causing him to fall like a kite with a broken string outside the city.

"Uncle Master!"

Nezha rode his Wind Fire Wheels and gave chase.

Chi You did not pursue, but instead swung his sword at the ground.

"Old man Xuanyuan! Watch closely!"

The blade's light pierced the ground, causing the entire Central Plains to tremble violently, and the energy of the nine dragon veins soared into the sky!

Lady Yin suddenly exclaimed.

"Martial Ancestor, you mustn't! The Dragon Vein is the foundation of the human race."

"Foundation?"

Chi You grinned maliciously.

"Let's change the world today!"

The Tiger Soul Blade was plunged into the earth's vein node, and blood light spread rapidly along the dragon vein.

Suddenly, a golden light came from the East Sea, and Hua Guang arrived riding on the clouds.

"Chi You! Stop!"

The Kongtong Seal hung high in the sky, and the phantom of the black bird cried out, temporarily suppressing the surging dragon veins. Chi You glared angrily.

"Hua Guang, you brat! You're going to stop me?"

"It's not that I want to stop you, but I can't stand by and watch you ruin the fate of humanity!"

Hua Guang's fingertips continuously changed techniques.

"Look closely, whose dragon vein is this!"

The Kongtong Seal casts its light and shadow, revealing the myriad people nourished by the dragon vein.

Farmers till the land and weave, children chant scriptures, and elders perform rituals—a scene of life unfolding like a scroll painting.

Chi You's hand gripping the blade trembled slightly. The Tiger Soul Blade emitted an uneasy hum, and the phantom tiger spirit of the blade bowed its head and howled softly.

"Why do you think Xuanyuan kept your true spirit?"

Hua Guang's voice was as loud as a bell.

"Precisely because you are the war spirit of humanity! If the dragon vein is severed today, the very life of these people will be extinguished first!"

Chi You's body was surrounded by surging black energy, and a struggle flashed in his scarlet eyes.

When Xuanyuan was defeated in the battle for supremacy, he did not destroy its true spirit, but merely placed it under the Chen Tang Pass.
"Martial Ancestor!"

Lady Yin suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Please look at Chentang Pass! Look at these descendants of the human race that you once protected!"

The entire city knelt in worship, and the incense and prayers poured forth like a galaxy, continuously flowing into Chi You's body.

His mutilated body began to grow flesh and blood, a strange fusion of the evil aura of the witch clan and the merits of humanity.

"Haha. Hahaha!"

Chi You suddenly looked up and laughed, tears welling in his eyes.

"Xuanyuan! What a fine Xuanyuan!"

The Tiger Soul Blade was plunged back into the ground, and the bloodstains disappeared.

"From this day forward, Chi You returns—still the Martial Ancestor of the Human Race!"

The dragon vein gradually subsided, and the crimson color faded. Hua Guang breathed a sigh of relief, and the Kongtong Seal slowly descended.

Just then, a mournful wail came from afar.

"Give me back my knife!"

The iron-eating beast rolled into the battlefield, clinging to Chi You's leg and groaning.

Chi You picked up the fat bear and laughed and cursed.

"Greed leads to trouble, and he should be punished!"

His gaze, however, swept westward.

"But before that, let's settle some scores with the Chan Sect."

He suddenly swung his sword at the void, and the figure of Ran Deng fleeing in a disheveled state was clearly seen in the crack.

"You old thief! Leave behind the Qiankun Ruler!"

The blade's edge crossed the boundary, and a scream from Ran Deng echoed in the distance. Half of the Qiankun Ruler fell from the sky and was caught by Chi You.

"The interest has been collected in full."

Hua Guang frowned slightly. (End of Chapter)
