Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 137 Imprisonment
Chongxu heard Dongfang Bubai asking questions.

He turned around and discussed with Huang Sixi and Master Fang Zheng: "I suggest that we fight three games. As long as we win two games, we will win! I will fight against Dongfang Bubai, and Master Fang Zheng and Junior Brother Huang can each choose one person from Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian to fight. What do you think?"

Master Fang Zheng nodded immediately: "Master, your suggestion is very good. Let me and Mr. Huang fight first. If we can win, there is no need to fight the third round!"

If Master Fang Zheng and Huang Sixi were to face off against Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian, the possibility of their losing would be extremely low. After winning, they could first bring Yi Lin back, and then it would not be too late to deal with Dongfang Bubai.

Huang Sixi also had no objection. The question was whether Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing agreed to such a battle arrangement?

Chongxu immediately called out to Dongfang Bubai and recounted the order of the three battles.

After discussing with Ren Woxing, Dongfang Bubai raised an objection: "Your righteous side has Master Fangzheng, Young Master Huang and Taoist Chongxu fighting, which is fine, but our battle should be evenly matched, otherwise it will not be fair!"

Ren Woxing continued, "We need to change the order of the battles. Xiang Youshi will fight Taoist Chongxu, Ren will fight Master Fangzheng, and Dongfang Jiaozhu will fight Young Master Huang. What do you think?"

Chongxu strongly objected: "Junior Brother Huang is just a junior. If Dongfang Sect Leader fights him, it will be a case of the big bullying the small and the strong bullying the weak. This is unfair to Junior Brother Huang. It is most appropriate for him to fight Xiang Wentian!"

Dongfang Bubai laughed and said, "For us martial artists, once we step onto the ring, there is no such thing as seniors or juniors. There is only the level of martial arts skills! Young Master Huang once killed the head of Songshan Sect, Zuo Lengchan, with one palm strike. His martial arts skills are no less than mine. He really has the ability to fight me!"

He looked at Huang Sixi from afar and provoked him: "If Mr. Huang is afraid of fighting, then I can swear in front of all the heroes in the world that no matter what the result of this battle is, I promise not to hurt Mr. Huang's life. Let's fight fairly and stop when it's enough!"

After these words were spoken, all the righteous heroes who had participated in the Luoshui Conference felt strange. When Zuo Lengchan, the head of Songshan, challenged Huang Sixi on the ring, he also made arrogant remarks, saying that he would stop when the time was right and would definitely not hurt Huang Sixi's life. However, in the end, Zuo Lengchan was slapped to death by Huang Sixi.

However, Zuo Lengchan's martial arts are far inferior to Dongfang Bubai's.

Ten years ago, Dongfang Bubai had been crowned the world's number one master.

This time, Dongfang Bubai returned to the battlefield and fought a total of three battles.

In the first battle, they were against the team of Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian, and they won a complete victory. Linghu Chong was also with Ren Woxing at that time, but Linghu Chong had just escaped from his hostage status and was injured, so he could only play as a distraction and did not serve as the main force.

The second battle was at Shaolin Temple against Master Fangzheng and Linghu Chong. By this time Linghu Chong had recovered from his injuries, but was still inferior in skills. Dongfang Bubai used an embroidery needle to injure Master Fangzheng. As the Shaolin monks rose up to besiege him, Dongfang Bubai temporarily withdrew.

The third battle was against the joint efforts of Huang Sixi and Chongxu at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. The result was that Dongfang Bubai lost a move and was hit by Huang Sixi's palm "Dragon Fighting in the Wild".

But Dongfang Bubai never believed that Huang Sixi could defeat him. The last time he was hit by a palm strike, he lost only because he didn't understand Huang Sixi.

After Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing conspired, they had already learned the details of Huang Sixi's situation from Ren Yingying, including the battles between Huang Sixi and Jie Feng and Zuo Lengchan.

If the two sides competed alone, Dongfang Bubai believed that he could kill Huang Sixi directly in the ring.

In the three battles, Dongfang Bubai felt he would definitely win against Huang Sixi, Ren Woxing felt he could not lose against Master Fang Zheng, and Xiang Wentian felt he had a 50-50 chance of winning against Taoist Chongxu.

The key is whether the righteous side will agree to such an order of battle.

Dongfang Bubai saw that Huang Sixi, Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu were slow to respond, so he made another concession: "Just now Taoist Chongxu said that if we lose, we will return the hostages. Now I can make a promise that even if we win, we will return the hostages to you!"

Ren Woxing continued to exert pressure: "If you still don't agree, then just come and besiege us. I want to see who of you is willing to be buried with me!"

For a martial arts master like Ren Woxing, ordinary disciples of the upright sects cannot stop him at all. Only people at the head of the sect are capable of fighting him.

It is even more difficult to besiege Dongfang Bubai. Once the leader of the righteous path gets close to Dongfang Bubai, he will probably die in a few moves.

But in the current situation, the righteous sects have no way out. If they cannot kill Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing today, there will be endless troubles in the future.

Yue Buqun of Huashan Sect reminded Huang Sixi, Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu: "The Demon Sect kills people without hesitation. We don't need to talk to them about morality. The best strategy is to directly siege them! The three of you are the strongest fighters of our righteous path. If you participate in the martial arts competition and die on the spot, who will suppress Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing?"

Yue Buqun felt that the three men were all pedantic. If he had the martial arts and prestige of Huang Sixi and Master Fang Zheng, he would have given an order and chopped Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing into pieces.

Yue Buqun made another impassioned speech: "If the three of you make a mistake, the advantage we have managed to reverse will be gone, and then our righteous path will face the crisis of destruction! Please look at the three of you, there are only seven of us left to hold on to the righteous path. If all of you die here today, the entire martial arts world will be completely dominated by the Demon Cult, and there will be no justice in the world. At this critical moment, the three of you must act prudently!"

Everything he said made sense.

Taoist Tianmen of Taishan Sect echoed, "I don't agree with the martial arts competition either. It's better to just surround and kill Dongfang Bubai and let me do what I want. I and the disciples of Taishan Sect are willing to follow Master Huang and deal with Dongfang Bubai together. If each of us stabs Dongfang Bubai with a sword, we can tire him to death! Why lose the big picture for the sake of a small one and go to a martial arts competition to fight alone?"

Mr. Mo Da of Hengshan Sect continued, "Although our siege will result in the death of Junior Sister Yi Lin, sacrificing her can save our entire righteous martial arts world, which is worth it!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Hengshan Sanding. Yilin was a disciple of the Hengshan School. If Hengshan Sanding also expressed that he could sacrifice Yilin, then it would be much easier to convince Huang Sixi, Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Sect Leader Ding Xian was at a loss and only looked at Huang Sixi: "This matter will be decided by Junior Brother Huang. If Junior Brother Huang feels that the overall situation should be taken into consideration, then Hengshan Sect will not object! The reason why Yi Lin was captured was to repay Linghu Chong for saving her life. Even if she dies, it is a worthy death!"

When the Huashan Sect disciples heard these words, they all felt ashamed and could not help but lower their heads.

After the leaders of the righteous sect expressed their opinions one after another, their eyes were focused on Huang Sixi's face, and they all hoped that Huang Sixi would not risk Yilin's life.

Huang Sixi said, "No matter what, I will save Yilin!"

He looked around at the righteous heroes and said, "If you are worried about losing in a fight, you can evacuate Shaoshi Mountain now. In the future, you only need to live in seclusion and you won't have to worry about being harmed by the evil sect!"

Dingyi was deeply moved after hearing Huang Sixi's decision. She lost control of her emotions and almost burst into tears. Yilin was her disciple, and she absolutely did not want to see Yilin die here.

But she also knew how great the risk Huang Sixi would have to take by making such a decision.

Seeing Huang Sixi's firm tone, the heroes all expressed their helplessness.

Huang Sixi controls the largest number of troops on the scene, and no matter what decision he makes, outsiders have no room to change it.

However, Yue Buqun was still trying to change his mind, hoping that Huang Sixi could change his mind. Linghu Chong had just been brought back by Qu Yang, and the Demon Sect had no way out. He had to find ways to make the righteous side win. Yue Buqun looked at Lan Fenghuang and said, "When Dongfang Bubai held Qingcheng Sect hostage, you agreed to abandon the hostages and join forces to attack the Demon Sect. Now we are held hostage again, please persuade Master Huang to destroy the Demon Sect first!"

Lan Fenghuang said with a "Pooh" sound: "The Qingcheng Sect has surrendered to the Demon Sect. What's wrong with me agreeing to abandon them? No matter what the young master wants to do now, I will firmly support him. You, the great headmaster Yue, don't need to give me any advice here. Master Yilin's capture is all caused by your good disciple. Please go and take care of your disciple first. The overall situation of the martial arts world is decided by the two seniors of Shaolin and Wudang. You'd better stop interfering, because the more you interfere, the worse it will be!"

Yue Buqun's face turned unhappy when he heard the sarcasm in her words, and he stopped talking immediately.

Lan Fenghuang glanced at Huang Sixi. In her heart, she actually agreed with Yue Buqun and did not want Huang Sixi to compete with Dongfang Bubai, but Huang Sixi chose to take the risk in order to rescue Yi Lin.

Lan Fenghuang thought: "If I am held hostage by outsiders in the future, you will surely save me in the same way. Of course I will support you. If he really encounters an accident because of the martial arts competition, I will die with him."

Instead of having any worries in her heart, she felt indescribably happy.

Master Fang Zheng was also happy present. Faced with the hostage threat, Huang Sixi made the same decision as him. He felt that Huang Sixi was a close friend who was trustworthy and worthy of confidant.

Unfortunately, he realized this a little late.

At this time, Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing had already begun to lead the remaining people to evacuate, unwilling to continue waiting for Huang Sixi.

Taoist Chongxu said, “Junior Brother Huang, let me fight Xiang Wentian first, and Master Fangzheng fight Ren Woxing. If we can win both games, we can directly switch back to Yilin, and there is no need to fight the third game! If we lose one of the first two games, then Junior Brother Huang, you can consider whether to siege them. It’s not too late. We should stop them first and can’t let them leave!”

What he meant was to only play two games and not let Huang Sixi take the risk of fighting against Dongfang Bubai.

As long as Huang Sixi stays in charge of the overall situation, he can command the demons and evil figures present, and the righteous side will be able to secure victory.

After Taoist Master Chongxu said this, neither Huang Sixi nor Master Fangzheng objected.

When the three saw Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing trying to escape, they jumped up together and blocked the road behind them.

Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing saw the three people coming together and smiled: "Have you agreed to a martial arts competition to decide the winner? Who will fight first?"

Taoist Master Chongxu immediately stepped out and said, "I have heard that Mr. Xiang is known as the 'King of Heaven' and he should have earth-shattering abilities. I am honored to be the head of Wudang, so I would like to ask the 'King of Heaven' for advice!"

Only two cult leaders and a right-hand man were left among the Demon Cult masters. Xiang Wentian had no way of shirking his responsibility, so he took off the whip from his waist and clasped his fists, saying, "I've heard for a long time that Sect Leader Chongxu's Tai Chi swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world. It's a great honor to be able to fight Sect Leader Chongxu this time."

The two men stood facing each other more than ten feet apart.

Huang Sixi, Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu retreated to the group of evil sects who had arrived earlier. Huang Boliu, Sima Da, the old man, Zu Qianqiu and Ji Wushi immediately surrounded them.

The old man whispered, "Sir, the Immortal Boy has brought a box of poisonous bees to help you. If you can use them, please let the Immortal Boy come and serve you."

Huang Sixi nodded: "Let her stay in the crowd first. When I use the bee swarm later, I will give her a signal."

On the other side, Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing led Yi Lin and Ren Yingying and retreated a distance.

Crowds of people from all directions surrounded Taoist Chongxu and Xiang Wentian, separating them from an arena with a diameter of several dozen feet.

This martial arts competition was of great importance, so Taoist Chongxu and Xiang Wentian both gave it their all and did not hold back at all.

As soon as the two men fought, they fought with all their might and danger was rife.

Xiang Wentian's moves were powerful and his attacks were fierce, but Taoist Chongxu's "Tai Chi Sword Technique" emphasized the use of softness to overcome hardness. As long as he used his sword moves to the extreme, even Dongfang Bubai would not be able to find any flaws and would find it difficult to break his defense.

The two exchanged more than ten moves, and Taoist Chongxu's sword formed layers of sword circles outside his body, and he was already invincible.

After reading it, Huang Sixi thought that the flaws in the "Tai Chi Sword Technique" in the original book could only be found in "Nine Swords of Dugu". With Xiang Wentian's martial arts, he could not break Taoist Chongxu's sword moves.

But if Taoist Chongxu just defends and does not attack, and the battle goes on for a long time, until his internal energy is exhausted, the situation will be unpredictable.

Just as Huang Sixi was thinking about this, a loophole seemed to appear in Taoist Chongxu's sword circle defense. Xiang Wentian rushed forward with his whip. Suddenly, a flash of sword light appeared, and with a "puff!", Xiang Wentian's right arm was directly cut off.

Before Ren Woxing could respond, the righteous people shouted in surprise, "Brother Xiang!"

The heroes immediately turned around and glared at Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong spoke from his heart, but he also knew that he should not show his concern for Xiang Wentian at this moment, so he immediately closed his mouth, but prayed in his heart that Taoist Chongxu would spare Xiang Wentian's life.

Taoist Chongxu cut off Xiang Wentian's arm with a sword, then sheathed the sword and pointed his finger at Xiang Wentian's chest.

With a bang, Xiang Wentian fell to the ground immediately.

Taoist Chongxu did not kill anyone in public. Instead, he took out elixirs to heal Xiang Wentian's injuries. It was not that he did not hate the Demon Cult, but there was a martial arts competition to be held later. If Master Wan Fangzheng was unfortunately injured by Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian would be the hostage in exchange.

If he killed Xiang Wentian now, there would be no room for a second game.

Although he firmly believed that Master Fang Zheng would not lose, anything could happen on the stage.

After Chongxu defeated Xiang Wentian, he turned his head and looked at Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing: "In this first match, I won by luck. I will temporarily imprison Xiang Youshi. Do the two leaders have any objections?"

Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing said nothing.

Chongxu immediately dragged Xiang Wentian towards Huang Sixi.

Master Fang Zheng then appeared.
