Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 139: Death by Palm
In the arena.

Huang Sixi held the heavy sword in his hand, infusing his true energy into the sword, ready to strike.

Dongfang Bubai held an embroidery needle between his right index finger and thumb and flashed it towards Huang Sixi: "I'll use the flying needle first, you take it!"

After saying that, she raised her arm and the embroidery needle flew out of her hand and shot towards Huang Sixi.

The two men were more than ten feet apart. No matter how strong Dongfang Bubai's needle power was, it would be exhausted when it hit Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi lightly raised the heavy sword, and with a "ding" sound, the embroidery needle was easily swept to the ground.

But the next shot came right after.

When Dongfang Bubai launched the needle, his figure was erratic, like a ghost. He jumped to the left, then to the right, and had already entered the range of several feet outside Huang Sixi.

The closer he is to Huang Sixi, the stronger the force of the flying needle will naturally be.

But as long as he doesn't get close to Huang Sixi, Huang Sixi will notice the flying needle attack in advance, and the heavy sword will have enough time to block. Once the flying needles are shot several feet away from Huang Sixi's body, they will definitely be intercepted by the heavy sword.

If Dongfang Bubai lingered a few feet away from Huang Sixi and fought with him, he would not be able to hurt Huang Sixi at all.

After shooting a few needles like this, Dongfang Bubai saw that the attack had no effect, so he immediately shook his body and continued to approach Huang Sixi.

His movements were as cunning as a rabbit, jumping back and forth around Huang Sixi.

At this moment, the thousands of heroes watching the fight outside the arena could no longer see where Dongfang Bubai's body was. They could only see a red shadow swimming around Huang Sixi.

Because the red shadow moved too quickly, like lightning and thunder, it caused an illusion to the crowd. The red shadow suddenly split into two, and then into four, and they all gathered around Huang Sixi.

It was like several figures suddenly surrounded Huang Sixi, changing unpredictably and making it difficult to tell the real from the fake. At this time, if Dongfang Bubai used a needle move, he could have made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, achieving a surprise victory.

The crowd of spectators at the edge of the ring were all top-notch fighters in the martial arts world. They looked intently but could not catch sight of Dongfang Bubai's true form. They could not help but feel terrified. If they were to fight Dongfang Bubai alone, they would probably die on the spot with just one shot.

They couldn't help but worry for Huang Sixi. Under such a swift and fierce attack, could Huang Sixi really block Dongfang Bubai's flying needles?

Looking at Huang Sixi who was surrounded by red shadows, he swung the heavy sword slowly and calmly, seemingly nonchalantly, but wherever the heavy sword passed, the sword wind instantly swept out, forming a black sword circle, like a defensive fortress built outside his body.

In an instant, the red shadow had approached Huang Sixi to within a few feet of his body, reaching the optimal attack range.

With a sound of "whoosh", the red shadows seemed to wave their hands at the same time, and four flying needles shot out from Huang Sixi's front, back, left, and right, directly penetrating the sword circle and stabbing Huang Sixi's vital points.

However, within the sword circle, the sword wind was whistling and sweeping, and the four flying needles had just broken through the circle when they were immediately disturbed by the sword wind and deviated from the shooting direction. Even if they stabbed Huang Sixi, they had missed the vital parts.

In fact, when the flying needles were covered by the sword wind, their speed had slowed down. As long as Huang Sixi used all his strength to swing the sword, he could completely block all four flying needles.

However, in order to launch a counterattack in time, Huang Sixi ignored the damage caused by the flying needles and allowed them to pierce into his chest, abdomen and back.

He held the sword in his left hand and reached for his waist with his right hand, taking out four needle bags in one breath. Suddenly, he turned around on the spot and fired four bags at the surrounding red shadows.

Since Dongfang Bubai was always staying within a few feet of Huang Sixi's body, the two of them were quite far apart, so it was difficult for Huang Sixi to hit Dongfang Bubai with the palm power he displayed.

However, Huang Sixi used the Jade Bee Needle to counterattack, and no matter how fast Dongfang Bubai was, he would definitely be hit by the needle.

As expected.

Huang Sixi directly threw out four needle bags, and dozens of jade bee needles were fired at the same time. With two "puffs!", the surrounding red shadows merged into one in an instant.

Dongfang Bubai, who was originally performing light skills to move at high speed, was hit by the Jade Bee Needle. His body stopped in place in an instant, and the red shadow dissipated, revealing his true body.

Huang Sixi did not hesitate at all, and immediately pushed forward with one palm, using the "Dragon Fighting in the Wilderness" technique, and chopped through the air with his palm, "clang!", hitting Dongfang Bubai's chest.

Dongfang Bubai was shocked by the palm force and took advantage of the momentum to retreat, floating more than ten feet away again, once again putting distance between himself and Huang Sixi.

"well played!"

The crowd of spectators outside the ring were holding their breath, not daring to breathe, for fear that Huang Sixi would be killed instantly by a single needle from Dongfang Bubai.

Unexpectedly, in the first round of confrontation between the two, Huang Sixi actually had the upper hand. The crowd was so excited that they cheered wildly.

Taoist Chongxu smiled slightly and said to the leaders of the various sects: "Junior Brother Huang came prepared. It seems that he is confident in fighting against Dongfang Bubai, otherwise he would not have easily agreed to a third battle!"

Yue Buqun had long thought that Taoist Chongxu was addressing Master Huang as "Junior Brother" strange, so he asked casually, "The nuns in Hengshan call Master Huang "Junior Brother", but why do Taoist Chongxu and Master Huang address each other as brothers?"

Taoist Master Chongxu saw that the leaders of all the sects were puzzled by this, so he explained: "Junior Brother Huang has a deep connection with Wudang. His martial arts are inherited from the fifth disciple of our sect's founder Sanfeng. For this reason, he risked his life to enter the Black Wood Cliff and retrieve the relics of Sanfeng, the 'Zhenwu Sword' and the 'Taijiquan Sutra'. It is only natural for me to welcome him into Wudang!"

The leaders of various sects exclaimed, "Ah, your sect's 'Zhenwu Sword' has been recovered? Congratulations, Taoist Priest. It seems that the end of the Demon Sect is near, and it is time for our righteous sect to prosper from now on!"

Chongxu did not dare to relax at all, and said: "We cannot let down our guard until the last moment of this martial arts competition. We must pay close attention to the movements in the arena to prevent Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing from plotting again!"

The leaders of various sects all nodded, thinking that if Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing dared to cheat again, they would immediately rush forward.

It was just a decisive battle between top masters. They were already powerless and had no ability to intervene at all.

In the middle of the ring.

Huang Sixi and Dongfang Bubai were standing more than ten feet apart, facing each other.

In the previous round of confrontation, Huang Sixi was hit by four embroidery needles. The needles were embedded in the black gold soft armor, but he was actually not hurt at all.

Dongfang Bubai was hit by two jade bee needles and a split palm, but he didn't seem to be seriously injured.

Although Huang Sixi's palm strike hit Dongfang Bubai's body, it made a crisp sound of hitting metal.

Huang Sixi secretly guessed that Dongfang Bubai might be wearing the same heart-protecting mirror as Zuo Lengchan.

"In order to restrain my Qinggong, you even prepared flying needles. You really took great pains!"

Dongfang Bubai thought that Huang Sixi was a temporary needle device.

"Master Dongfang, don't think too highly of yourself!"

Huang Sixi said with a mocking look on his face: "My flying needle is called Jade Bee Needle. It once helped me to fight my way out of a siege by thousands of troops. It was definitely not made for you! But you, on the other hand, specially wore armor. Are you afraid of the reputation of the 'Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing'?"

Huang Sixi actually guessed it right.

Martial arts masters like Dongfang Bubai have heard a lot about the martial arts stories of previous dynasties. He knows that the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" was once famous throughout the world.

The key point is that Dongfang Bubai was hit by Huang Sixi's palm "Dragon Fighting in the Wild". After evaluating the strength of the palm, Dongfang Bubai did not dare to be arrogant.

"You have fought your way out of a huge army? You must be a general who has experienced hundreds of battles. As the saying goes, a merciful man cannot lead an army. Would a man like you care about the lives of a few hostages?"

Dongfang Bubai obviously didn't believe Huang Sixi's words, and suddenly moved forward and attacked Huang Sixi again. He still used the same combat strategy as before, relying on his advanced Qinggong skills to move outside Huang Sixi's body, waiting for an opportunity to launch a flying needle.

However, this time he lingered within two meters of Huang Sixi, firstly avoiding the impact of the heavy sword's sword wind, and secondly effectively guarding against Huang Sixi's jade bee needle.

At the current distance, if Huang Sixi wanted to use the Jade Bee Needle to counterattack, Dongfang Bubai could easily avoid it, but his embroidery needle could harass Huang Sixi.

He didn't expect that the embroidery needle could hit Huang Sixi's vital points. He just needed to fight with the tired enemy and wait for Huang Sixi's internal strength to be exhausted. Then he could use the needle with ease.

But even if they competed in internal strength, he could not beat Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi has double internal strength in his body, and no master in the world can fight with Huang Sixi.

However, Huang Sixi thought that since Dongfang Bubai intended to fight, he might as well expose a flaw and see if there was a chance to severely injure Dongfang Bubai.

Thinking of this, Huang Sixi took out several needle bags and scattered them outwards.

Since the Jade Bee Needle had a very wide coverage area, Dongfang Bubai stopped his lightness skills, dodged temporarily, and stopped moving back and forth.

Huang Sixi immediately captured Dongfang Bubai's true appearance, and immediately wielded his heavy sword. A circle of swords flashed outside his body and swept towards Dongfang Bubai.

When he was about ten feet away from Dongfang Bubai, the sword circle suddenly disappeared. Huang Sixi stopped his sword and changed his palm, preparing to attack Dongfang Bubai at close range.

Seeing that his sword power was fading, Dongfang Bubai let him use his palm power to advance. He pinched the embroidery needle with his fingertips, jumped back and forth, and tried to stab.

When the two were about three to five feet apart, they heard a "swoosh!" sound, and Dongfang Bubai suddenly abandoned the needle, pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and went straight in, attacking Huang Sixi's chest.

This move changes very quickly.

Huang Sixi had been on guard against Dongfang Bubai's embroidery needle. Whether the embroidery needle stabbed him close or flew out with the flick of a finger, Huang Sixi was ready to defend himself.

But Dongfang Bubai changed swords in an instant, and the tip of the sword suddenly stabbed out, reaching Huang Sixi's chest in an instant. The attack was as fast as thunder, and it was too late to guard against it.

Huang Sixi simply let go of the empty space in front of his chest, swung the heavy sword with his left hand, and swept it across Dongfang Bubai's armpit. Dongfang Bubai seemed to have expected it. He took an embroidery needle in his other hand and hit the sword hard, and the sword bounced back immediately.

After this move, the soft sword had already pierced Huang Sixi's body, but was blocked by a layer of hard object and failed to penetrate his body for a while.

Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly, and immediately rotated his wrist, pouring his true energy into the soft sword. With a "whoosh!", a hole was torn in Huang Sixi's black gold soft armor, exposing his flesh and blood.

At this moment, if Dongfang Bubai's soft sword went forward one inch more, it would be able to pierce Huang Sixi's skin. He expected that Huang Sixi would definitely retreat, so he tried to avoid it first and protect his vital points.

Unexpectedly, Huang Sixi did not retreat but advanced, and actually approached Dongfang Bubai with the soft sword.

At the same time, Huang Sixi's 'Dragon Walking in Ten Thousand Paths' palm power had accumulated to its peak, and it suddenly slapped out, chopping towards Dongfang Bubai's forehead.

This is obviously a strategy of mutual destruction.

Even if Dongfang Bubai's soft sword could pierce Huang Sixi's chest, Dongfang Bubai's face would still be hit by Huang Sixi.

Dongfang Bubai felt that such a fight would result in both of them being killed, which was not worth it. He fought with Huang Sixi to win, not to perish together. He suddenly retracted his soft sword, thus withdrawing the fatal move.

But he didn't know that Huang Sixi possessed Rama's internal energy, and he was sure to be safe even if he was stabbed in the chest by the soft sword.

In this close combat, Dongfang Bubai originally wanted to get close and then launch a surprise attack with his soft sword. However, Huang Sixi was so fearless that he even planned to exchange his life for his own. So he was no longer willing to take the risk.

He was about to use his Qinggong skills to prepare to get away from Huang Sixi again.

But this time, Huang Sixi had no intention of giving him a chance to escape.

The heavy sword was suddenly raised up, and it came back again, slashing towards Dongfang Bubai's head.

The two men were very close to each other, and the sword came at them in the blink of an eye. Dongfang Bubai had no time to dodge, so he hurriedly shook his soft sword upwards to wrap around the heavy sword.

In order to prevent Huang Sixi from getting close to him, Dongfang Bubai quickly bent the fingers of his other hand and shot out an embroidery needle. He thought Huang Sixi would try to dodge, but he miscalculated again.

Huang Sixi simply ignored his embroidery needle and let the needle pierce his chest. He used his right palm to perform the "Dragon Walking in Ten Thousand Ways" and suddenly slapped out with his palm, hitting Dongfang Bubai on the forehead, leaving him no room to dodge.

Dongfang Bubai was shocked, and the hand that was holding the needle just now retracted instantly and blocked his face.

A sound of "touch!"

The two palms intersected, Huang Sixi pressed his right palm on Dongfang Bubai's palm, and then hit Dongfang Bubai's forehead with great force.

Dongfang Bubai was hit hard and a pool of blood spurted out of his mouth, but the palm of his hand cushioned the impact and he did not die immediately.

Huang Sixi felt a pain in his right palm and saw a tiny hole in the palm.

It turned out that when Dongfang Bubai came back to help, he pinched an embroidery needle and hid it between his fingers. When Huang Sixi hit him with a palm, he was immediately stabbed by the needle.

However, Dongfang Bubai was still hit hard by the Dragon Subduing Palm. Although his face was not cracked, his head became dizzy, his vision was dizzy, and his fighting power was greatly reduced. He knew that this was a life-threatening moment and he could not retreat immediately.

If he retreats now due to injuries, his Qinggong will not be able to operate at high speed, and he will become Huang Sixi's target of attack, who can kill him on the ring with one move.

He took a deep breath, swung his hand, and threw the embroidery needle from his fingertips towards Huang Sixi's eyes.

Huang Sixi turned his head to avoid the attack and used the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm. However, before he could strike out with his palm, Dongfang Bubai suddenly pushed his palm forward in a grappling motion and grabbed Huang Sixi's right palm.

The two palms met, and there was a temporary stalemate.

The heavy swords and soft swords in their other hands were still entangled and had not separated.

At this moment, Huang Sixi suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him.

He turned around and saw Ren Woxing throwing a long sword straight at his back.

Seeing this, Ren Yingying suddenly flew behind him without making a sound, and with a "puff" sound, her long sword pierced through his chest, pinning Ren Yingying to the ground.

Huang Sixi swung his hands together, shaking Dongfang Bubai away. He first swung his sword forward and slashed Dongfang Bubai's chest with it. With a "click" sound, the heart-protecting mirror shattered and fell off.

Huang Sixi's body shook again, and he used the "Yuewang Divine Arrow". He rushed forward and slapped Dongfang Bubai on the chest. There was a sound of broken bones. Dongfang Bubai felt his whole body lose strength, his eyes were dim, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably.

When the heroes in the ring saw that Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing were cheating again, they became extremely angry and rushed to the ring one after another.

The four friends of the Demon Cult, including the elders from Meizhuang, rushed towards Dongfang Bubai and swung their palms together. At this time, Dongfang Bubai happened to fall to the ground and was hit on the back by the elders. He fell to the ground with his head down and did not move.

The righteous heroes rushed towards Ren Woxing, but Ren Woxing still held Master Fang Zheng captive. They were afraid to make a move and did not dare to make a move for a while.
