Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 151: Flying Red Scarf

When the Qing army leader fell off his horse, everyone could see clearly that the black light was actually a dark dagger.

The sword was so elusive that both sides were stunned and frightened.

They all looked sideways, trying to find the figure of the swordsman, and suddenly heard a low buzzing sound, resounding in the battlefield.

The whistling sound came from the Dragon Subduing Sword.

Huang Sixi first used the "Flying Fairy from the Sky" to send out a black iron dagger, killing the leader of the Qing soldiers with one sword, and then leaped high, like an eagle swooping down on a rabbit, and fell into the herd of Qing soldiers' horses.

The Dragon Subduing Sword was immediately unsheathed. This sword could cut iron like mud and break armor like paper. Even if it hit the Qing soldiers' shields, it could easily pierce through them. He chopped left and right, and in an instant, both the man and the horse were torn to pieces.

When the green-clothed woman heard the sound of the Dragon-Subduing Sword, she immediately turned her gaze to Huang Sixi and was greatly surprised: "Who is this young man?"

She saw that Huang Sixi was wearing a blue shirt and a bamboo hat, and was dressed quite maturely, but he looked very young, probably in his early twenties. She thought that Huang Sixi was a rising star who had just entered the world of martial arts.

But this younger generation has superb martial arts skills and moves as fast as the wind.

The woman in green was very skilled in martial arts and could see Huang Sixi's movements clearly, but the Qing soldiers could only see a blurry blue shadow jumping back and forth among the horses, sword raised and down, constantly killing Qing soldiers off their horses.

However, the Qing soldiers also had rich combat experience, especially when dealing with martial arts masters, they had their own strategies.

When they saw that Huang Sixi's movements were so swift that they could not engage in close combat, they immediately scattered in all directions, rode away on horseback, put a distance of more than ten feet between them and Huang Sixi, then drew their bows and arrows, and paraded and shot around Huang Sixi.

The entire battlefield stretched for miles. Thousands of Qing soldiers separated and surrounded the Kazakhs. The Qing soldiers' own troops were also relatively scattered, divided into about seven or eight teams of about 100 people.

At this moment, there were more than a hundred Qing soldiers besieging Huang Sixi. They shot arrows from a distance, forming a dense rain of arrows, blocking the area several feet away from Huang Sixi.

They felt that no matter how high Huang Sixi's martial arts skills were, he would be covered and hit by the rain of arrows. As long as Huang Sixi failed to defend properly once, he would be shot to pieces.

In the past, they relied on their cavalry and archery blockades to shoot and kill many martial arts masters.

Just now, the woman in green was shot by them after rushing into the battlefield. She was in a panic and could only retreat into the herd of Kazakh horses to avoid the rain of arrows.

Seeing Huang Sixi surrounded by Qing soldiers, the woman in green was worried that Huang Sixi would be hit by a hidden arrow, so she immediately shouted, "Hey, hero, the Qing soldiers are very good at archery, don't fight them head-on! Retreat first, we have shieldmen here who can help you to safety!"

Huang Sixi looked back at the woman in green, shook his head and rejected her proposal.

Huang Sixi was seen holding the Dragon Subduing Sword in one hand, using the Arrow-Breaking Style of the Dugu Nine Swords to block the arrows coming from all directions.

With his other hand he took out a jade bee needle and shot it into the air from a distance of more than ten feet. Every time he fired a needle, a Qing soldier would fall.

The woman in green was shocked when she saw this scene. She herself was also an expert in acupuncture, but when she gathered all her internal strength to shoot out the needles, the effective killing range was limited to a few feet.

She could indeed send flying needles more than ten feet away, but after the needle force reached a distance, it would have no power at all.

Even though Huang Sixi could shoot needles from a distance of more than ten feet, the force of the needles remained undiminished and could even easily penetrate the armor of Qing soldiers, causing fatal damage with one needle. The depth of his internal strength had reached an incredible level.

The green-clothed woman secretly compared herself: "Even if my master himself gave the needle, I don't think he would be much stronger than him. He is so young, but his internal strength seems to be no weaker than my master's. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it!"

Her master is a famous martial arts master in the Tianshan area. Even if you look at the entire Central Plains martial arts world, his martial arts skills are second to none. She compares Huang Sixi with her master, which is already a high praise.

When she was distracted, Huang Sixi shot needles with great force, and dozens of Qing soldiers fell off their horses and lay dead on the ground.

The nearby Qing soldiers were stunned when they saw this. The range of the flying needles was almost the same as their bows and arrows. Their arrows could not hurt Huang Sixi at all, but Huang Sixi's needles could kill with every strike. How could they fight this battle?
They immediately put away their bows and arrows, whipped their horses hard, and moved away from Huang Sixi, turning to the other end of the battlefield. They would rather fight a bloody battle with the Kazakhs with scimitars than besiege Huang Sixi again.

But since Huang Sixi had entered the battlefield, he would never give up until he defeated this group of Qing troops.

When he saw the dozens of Qing soldiers who had besieged him withdraw, he immediately rushed into a group of Qing soldiers and horses gathered nearby, and started to kill them with the Dragon-Subduing Sword as usual. After the Qing soldiers were frightened and scattered, he took out the Jade Bee Needle and launched a long-range offensive.

In this way, after Huang Sixi charged three times on the battlefield, the morale of the Qing soldiers was crushed. They suddenly gave up the encirclement of the Kazakhs and retreated collectively.

The two groups quickly broke off contact.

Because the Qing troops had a clear numerical advantage, even if they were defeated, they still had hundreds of cavalrymen firing back to prevent pursuit from the rear.

The Kazakhs had suffered heavy casualties previously, and they were lucky enough to be able to force the Qing troops to retreat this time. They had no intention of pursuing the Qing troops and silently allowed them to leave.

Seeing that their morale was low and they were afraid to move forward, Huang Sixi immediately put away the Dragon Subduing Sword and put it back into the scabbard behind him. Then he jumped to the body of the Qing army leader and pulled out his black iron dagger.

After a while, the Qing soldiers disappeared at the end of the grassland, and the Kazakh riders who survived the disaster began to shout loudly.

Accompanied by shouts, they dismounted their horses one after another and followed the woman in green to Huang Sixi.

They did not understand Chinese and used Kazakh to express their warm thanks to Huang Sixi, but Huang Sixi did not respond. Knowing that there was a language barrier, they lowered their voices and asked the woman in green to come out to negotiate.

The woman in green spoke fluent Chinese and clasped her fists and said, "My name is Hamaya, and I am the daughter of Tangnu, the chief of the Lobu tribe in the southern Xinjiang grassland. May I ask what your name is, hero?"

"My last name is Huang!"

Huang Sixi looked at the bright scarf of the woman in green and asked, "They just called you Flying Red Scarf. I heard that there is a female hero outside the Great Wall who fights violence and helps the weak. She always wears a red scarf and gallops across the Tianshan Mountains. Could it be you, Miss Hamaya?"

Fei Hongjin smiled cheerfully: "I am Fei Hongjin! Thank you, Mr. Huang, for praising me so much!"

She was very happy that Huang Sixi had heard of her reputation.

But she added, “I did often travel outside the Great Wall to fight against the invasion of the Qing army. However, since I moved to the southern peak of Tianshan Mountain to live in seclusion, I have rarely come down the mountain in the past ten years. My friends in the Central Plains should have forgotten me a long time ago!”

"Has the girl been living in seclusion for more than ten years?"

Huang Sixi looked at Fei Hongjin again. She was indeed no longer young and looked to be around thirty years old.

She became famous at a young age. When she was a teenager, she was already well-known outside the Great Wall. At that time, the Qing army began to invade Southern Xinjiang. In order to defend the tribe, she led the army to fight against the Qing army and earned the nickname "Flying Red Scarf".

I just don’t know why she retired to Tianshan so early.

Huang Sixi had heard of the name 'Fei Hongjin' for a long time, but she was not a character in 'Bi Xue Jiang Hu', but came from 'Seven Swordsmen'.

If there is any common connection between "Fei Hongjin" and the two martial arts worlds, it is only the dynasty she lived in. She was born during the Chongzhen period and was a female hero in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Huang Sixi gradually realized that the "bloody world" he had come to this time might have changed in time and space, as if it overlapped with other martial arts in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He further sought confirmation from Fei Hongjin: "When I was in the Central Plains, I heard people say many times that there lived a martial arts elder from the Central Plains on the southern peak of Tianshan Mountain. Everyone called her the White-haired Witch. Girl, have you ever seen this elder?"

"More than just seeing it."

Fei Hongjin suddenly untied her headscarf, revealing her full head of white hair, and showed it to Huang Sixi: "Master Huang is a martial arts master, I will not hide it from you, the White-haired Witch is actually my master, I am her disciple, and this white hair is passed down from generation to generation!"

Ah!
The surrounding Kazakh riders were all shocked when they saw her white hair. They thought that the most famous heroine and the most beautiful woman in the southern Xinjiang grassland had aged to this extent.

Although Fei Hongjin's face was still fair and delicate, without any signs of aging, her head full of white hair still seemed extremely inconsistent. One look at her always gave people the impression that she was an old woman.

The Kazakh riders all thought that the reason Fei Hongjin lived in seclusion was because he suffered a great defeat.

At that time, the Qing army took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and the collapse of the Ming Dynasty to occupy the Central Plains. In order to consolidate the Central Plains regime, the Qing army began to send troops to southern Xinjiang. Fei Hongjin was the leader elected by all ethnic groups in the southern Xinjiang grasslands. She summoned troops from all ethnic groups and united them to try to resist the Qing army, but was defeated.

From then on Fei Hongjin fled deep into the Tianshan Mountains and never appeared again. She has not made a public appearance for more than ten years.

I don’t know if it was because of this defeat that caused such heavy losses to the various ethnic groups in the southern Xinjiang grasslands that Fei Hongjin’s hair turned white.

But Fei Hongjin was not embarrassed by her white hair. She showed it off in public without fear of being seen.

She continued to say to Huang Sixi: "I came down from Tianshan this time because my old friends Ma Gaiti and Man Lingna were being hunted by the Qing soldiers, and I came here specially to rescue them! But I haven't fought against the Qing soldiers for many years, and I don't know how to repel the enemy. If it weren't for the hero Huang coming to support me, the consequences today would be disastrous!"

Huang Sixi looked at her head full of white hair and thought that since she admitted her relationship with the White-haired Witch, then the "Blooded Jianghu" must have overlapped with the "Tien Shan Jianghu".

The White-Haired Witch was a famous martial arts figure in the late Wanli period. She was an orphan with no sect or school. She served as the leader of the Green Forest in the Central Plains. During the Tianqi period, she left the Central Plains and retired to the Tianshan Mountains. From then on, she lived outside the Great Wall and never returned to the Central Plains again.

Decades later, the White-haired Witch was over 70 years old, and the Central Plains martial arts world had no idea of her existence.

As the Tianshan Mountains were adjacent to the southern Xinjiang grasslands, the White-haired Witch had the most daily contact with the herdsmen of the grassland tribes, so she chose Fei Hongjin as her successor.

After Fei Hongjin set out on his expedition, he fought against the Qing soldiers on the grassland. After losing the battle, he retreated to the southern peak of Tianshan Mountain and lived with the White-haired Witch day and night. He never traveled to the Central Plains.

However, since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of heroes and knights who were determined to restore their country moved to the frontier to seek refuge. "Fei Hongjin" often dealt with them and was not unfamiliar with the situation in the Central Plains martial arts world.

Huang Sixi originally wanted to find Fei Hongjin to inquire about the situation in the Central Plains in detail, but suddenly he heard a cry from the crowd around him.

The Kazakh leader Magot was hit by an arrow in the chest, which was a fatal wound. His wife Manlingna tried to bandage the wound, but it was ineffective. She watched Magot gradually die and cried out in grief.

Huang Sixi immediately moved over, squatted down, and reached out to grab Ma Gaiti's wrist.

After checking the injury, Huang Sixi said to Man Lingna: "Don't cry yet, he can still be saved!"

The arrow wound on Mageti could not be cured by medicine alone.

Huang Sixi used Rama's internal energy to heal him personally.

The Kazakh riders were so excited to see that he knew medicine. Almost all of them were injured in the previous battle, and there were hundreds of seriously injured, all of whom were hit by knives and arrows. In the past, if they encountered such injuries, even with the treatment of tribal doctors, not many would survive.

If Huang Sixi could really rescue Ma Gaiti, then these wounded would have a chance of survival.

Fei Hongjin was also surprised to find that Huang Sixi was actually a medical expert.

She really wanted to ask Huang Sixi about his master, but Huang Sixi was treating Ma Gaiti, so she did not disturb him and stood aside waiting.

"Look, the label is reminding you!"

Ma Gaiti opened his eyelids and looked at everyone. However, due to his weak body, he fainted again.

However, this scene of resurrection still aroused cheers from the Kazakhs.

They knelt on the ground again and made various prayers: "Knight of the Central Plains, you are as sacred as the messenger of the true God!"

"From now on, you are the most distinguished guest of our Hasak tribe!"

"We will spread your heroic name on the grasslands of southern Xinjiang, and your heroic deeds will never be forgotten from generation to generation!"

Huang Sixi couldn't understand what they were talking about.

He took out the Tianxiang Duanxu Glue and Baiyun Bear Gall Pills and handed them to Manlingna: "Apply the glue paste on his wound and feed him a pill!"

Manlingna did as she was told immediately, and asked, "Master Huang, after giving my husband the medicine, will he be able to recover?"

Huang Sixi shook his head: "I only temporarily stabilized his injuries. He needs at least several months to recover. You must take him back to the tribe as soon as possible, and it's best not to let him ride a horse again!"

In their early years, Manlingna and Magaiti had fought side by side with the warriors from the Central Plains to resist the Qing army, and they both spoke Chinese well.

She and her husband are both over 30 years old, the same age as Fei Hongjin.

Since Fei Hongjin retired to Tianshan, she and her husband continued to fight against the Qing soldiers. Unfortunately, the Qing soldiers' power in the southern Xinjiang grasslands was growing, and no single tribe was a match for the Qing soldiers.

She said bitterly: "Our Kazakh tribe has been conquered by the Qing army, and our chieftain Hu Keji has been captured by the Qing army. Now we can only wander on the grasslands of southern Xinjiang. If we cannot ride horses, we will have no choice but to surrender if we encounter the Qing army."

Fei Hongjin immediately comforted them: "You can come with me to the Luobu tribe to stay temporarily. After Mageti and the injured tribesmen recover, we will return to your tribe to reclaim the territory."

She then extended an invitation to Huang Sixi: "Master Huang, I would like to invite you to my home. Are you willing to come?"

All the Kazakh riders present were looking forward to it. They hoped that Huang Sixi would accompany them so that their wounded would be guaranteed to stay alive.

But they were on the run now and could not afford to give Huang Sixi any gifts. With nothing in their hands, they were too ashamed to speak and none of them dared to invite Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi was not familiar with the terrain of southern Xinjiang and needed a guide to return to the Central Plains as quickly as possible.

Besides, he also wanted to ask Fei Hongjin about the situation in the Central Plains, so he readily agreed.

When Fei Hongjin saw that he was willing to be a guest, he immediately conveyed the good news to the Kazakh riders, and instantly, there was thunderous cheers.

After they cleaned up the battlefield and bandaged the wounded, they headed towards the territory of the Rob tribe.
