Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 190 Nine Yang Magic Skill
At dawn that day.

Huang Sixi rode on the back of the divine eagle, soared into the sky from the mountains and forests, and flew away.

Just as Huang Sixi expected, ever since the Divine Eagle grew feathers and could fly again, it no longer had any intention of staying in the Sword Tomb. It was more eager to go out and explore the world than Huang Sixi.

So when Huang Sixi invited it to go for a walk outside the mountain, it happily agreed.

After Huang Sixi successfully buried the cave and sealed the dragon vein in Dugu Qiubai's burial cave, he accompanied the Divine Condor on a long journey the next morning.

However, the Divine Eagle has a huge body, and its wingspan is more than ten feet long.

For birds, the heavier they are, the more energy they consume when flying.

The Divine Condor was not immune.

Even though the Divine Eagle has practiced internal skills and its wings are several times stronger than those of an ordinary eagle, the fact that Huang Sixi is sitting on its back is equivalent to adding more than 100 kilograms of weight, making it more difficult to fly.

On this first voyage, the Divine Eagle took off from the Sword Tomb. After flying for about seventy or eighty miles, it could no longer hold on, so it dived suddenly and landed on the top of a mountain.

After it stopped, it was out of breath and didn't even have the strength to quack.

Huang Sixi saw its embarrassment, jumped off the eagle's back, patted its neck, and asked it with a smile: "Brother Eagle, how long do you want to rest before you can continue flying?"

The Divine Eagle first stretched out one of its claws, meaning that it would rest for at least an hour.

It thought about it again, and perhaps felt that there was not enough time, so it added another claw.

Huang Sixi couldn't help but tease him when he saw him like that: "You look a little weak, Brother Diao. It's only been less than a hundred miles and you can't walk anymore. Your travel efficiency is not even as good as a horse's!"

There are twelve hours in a day, and it would take two hours to rest once. Even if the Divine Eagle traveled all day, it could only travel five or six hundred miles at most.

The divine horse can carry a person and travel a thousand miles a day.

Of course, no matter how fast the divine horse runs, its speed will never exceed that of the divine eagle.

The wings of the divine eagle are much larger than those of an ordinary eagle, so its speed is naturally faster.

It flew here from the sword tomb, a distance of seventy or eighty miles, in less than an incense stick of time, and it flew here in the blink of an eye. The only problem is that it consumes too much energy when it carries people.

When the Divine Eagle heard that Huang Sixi looked down on it as being inferior to a horse, it immediately started yelling and kept waving its eagle claws in front of Huang Sixi.

It flew slowly because it was carrying Huang Sixi. If it didn't carry Huang Sixi, it could easily surpass the divine horse and even travel two thousand miles a day.

Huang Sixi understood what it meant and said with a smile: "We are such good brothers, I won't let you do it alone! After you have rested, I will think of a way to give you a boost and reduce your fatigue!"

The Divine Condor was confused and did not understand Huang Sixi's intention.

Until it recovered its strength, it continued on its journey carrying Huang Sixi.

After flying for another seventy or eighty miles, it became exhausted again and was about to look for a landing point and dive to the ground when it suddenly felt Huang Sixi parting its feathers and pressing one hand on its neck, instantly injecting a powerful force into its body.

This powerful force spread along its body like a warm current, and the strength that had been almost completely depleted began to gradually recover.

As long as Huang Sixi continues to supply it with internal energy, it can continue to fly non-stop.

The divine eagle realized that its wings were full of strength again and was overjoyed. It suddenly raised its head and cried loudly in the sky.

It flapped its wings vigorously, stretched its muscles without reservation, and increased its speed to the fastest.

This time, it carried Huang Sixi and flew for a full three hundred miles, until Huang Sixi's hand was separated from its neck and he no longer supplied it with internal energy, and it landed on the ground reluctantly.

Although Huang Sixi's internal strength is deep, it is not endless.

When he supplies energy to the Divine Eagle to a certain extent, his energy will also be exhausted and he must rest and recover like the Divine Eagle.

But even so, he was already very satisfied with the Divine Condor's voyage.

With his current internal strength, if he fully supports the Divine Eagle, he can help the Divine Eagle fly nearly two thousand miles in a day, and can almost cross any territory in the Central Plains.

In the future, as Huang Sixi's inner strength deepens, the range of the Divine Condor will continue to increase.

"In fact, even if I don't increase my internal strength, I only need to learn a superior profound skill to increase the range of the Divine Eagle!"

The superior mysterious skill that Huang Sixi was thinking of was the famous "Nine Yang Divine Art".

Judging from the internal strength alone, Huang Sixi personally believes that the level of "Nine Yang Divine Art" is stronger than such excellent works as "Nine Yin Scriptures", "Yi Jin Jing" and "Sunflower Manual".

This is because after practicing the "Nine Yang Divine Art", the speed of self-generation of internal force is incredibly fast, almost inexhaustible and never extinguished. No matter what other martial arts are faced, one can first rely on the Nine Yang internal force to protect the body and become invincible.

If Huang Sixi could master this profound skill, he could then use the Nine Yang internal force to assist the Divine Eagle in flying, and its range would surely be increased exponentially.

However, the "Nine Yang Divine Art" first appeared in the world after the third Huashan Sword Meeting, and the original text of the scripture was discovered by Master Jueyuan of Shaolin Temple.

In the Sutra Library of Shaolin Temple, there are four volumes of "Lankavatara Sutra", which is the original Sanskrit book that Bodhidharma brought with him when he crossed the sea to the East and is kept in Shaolin Temple.

What is contained in the Lankavatara Sutra is not any martial arts secrets, but the main points of what Tathagata Buddha said on the Lanka Island. It is actually the Buddhist Dharma of enlightening the mind and seeing the nature.

Master Na Jueyuan became a monk in Shaolin Temple at a young age and was ordered to look after the Sutra Repository. He had read all the sutras in the pavilion. Once when he was flipping through the Lankavatara Sutra, he found the Nine Yang Magical Art written by Bodhidharma in the interlayer of the sutra.

"Nine Yang Divine Art" is a complete work of martial arts, just like "Yi Jin Jing". Master Jueyuan saw that the scripture contained the method of Yi Jin and Xi Sui, which could strengthen the body, so he slowly studied and practiced it.

Before the third Huashan Sword Meeting, Master Jueyuan would accompany the "Nine Yang Divine Art" and stay obediently in the Sutra Library of the Shaolin Temple.

As long as Huang Sixi rushes to Shaolin Temple now, he will be sure to get the original text of "Nine Yang Divine Art".

The "Nine Yang Magic Skill" is also the first mysterious skill that Huang Sixi is determined to acquire when he ventures into "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Now that Huang Sixi has verified the speed and range of the Divine Condor, he decides to ride the Divine Condor to Shaolin Temple.

When he took off from the Sword Tomb earlier, he was really aimless. He was only focused on testing the flying conditions of the Divine Eagle, so he did not identify any direction.

So he was completely confused as to where he was at the moment.

He could only continue sailing, and if he found local people along the way, he would land and inquire.

In this way, when the divine eagle recovered its strength, he once again rode on the eagle's back and flew away. After traveling several miles, he heard the sound of rushing water.

He knew there must be a river nearby, so he signaled the Divine Eagle to fly over to check.

When he reached the middle of the water flow, he looked down and saw a vast and majestic waterway rushing forward for thousands of miles.

Huang Sixi saw the mighty force of the water and thought, "I must be on the Yangtze River! The sword tomb is outside Xiangyang City. The Divine Eagle and I flew in the same direction earlier, with a flight distance of 400 miles. If I go south along Xiangyang, I can reach the Yangtze River just in time!"

The Shaolin Temple is located in the north of Xiangyang, and he may have been traveling in the opposite direction.

Of course, his guess may not be correct, and he still needs to find someone to ask.

Thinking of this, he signaled the Divine Eagle to slow down and search for local people along the river.

Unexpectedly, the divine eagle was extremely excited when it saw the river. It suddenly swooped down to the surface of the river, stretched out its two claws as big as cattail leaves, aimed at a white shadow in the water in the middle of the river, and with a "plop!", it grabbed it fiercely.

When the eagle's claws left the river surface and flew into the air again, it had captured a large grass carp several feet long in its claws. Judging from its physique, its weight was estimated to be more than 100 kilograms.

The Divine Eagle was already carrying a heavy load with Huang Sixi on its back, and now how could it bear the weight of a grass carp weighing over 100 kilograms?

The divine eagle grabbed the grass carp and was about to fly across the river bank to have a good meal. However, the grass carp was too heavy and exceeded the eagle's load capacity. The eagle's body began to shake and it showed signs of being unstable.

If the Divine Eagle did not loosen its grip, it and Huang Sixi would be in danger of losing control and falling into the river.

Huang Sixi immediately patted the eagle's neck and shouted, "You want to eat fish, I'll catch it for you, and you'll have a delicious meal! But if you don't let go, we brothers will soon fall into the river to feed the fish!"

The Divine Eagle caught the big fish with one claw, and his heart was filled with the pleasure of hunting, and he was unwilling to give it up easily.

But it also knows that holding the big fish is a burden and must let it go, otherwise it will not be able to fly out of the Yangtze River.

Huang Sixi saw that it was about to loosen its claws, so he pointed to a fishing boat on the river nearby and said, "Throw the fish to the local people to avoid wasting them!"

The divine eagle also had a heart to do good, so it swooped over immediately. As its body passed over the fishing boat, it loosened its claws and the big fish landed squarely in the fishing boat with a "bang".

On the boat were two fishermen, one old and one young. When they saw the divine eagle flying over, they were so frightened that they fell flat on the boat. They did not dare to stand up until the divine eagle soared up into the sky.

When the young man saw a big fish on the bow, he pointed at the eagle in the sky and shouted happily: "Grandpa, Grandpa, the eagle helped us catch a big fish!"

The old man immediately shouted, "What big eagle? Didn't you see there's someone sitting on the eagle? That's the Great Master of the Divine Eagle! Quick, kneel down and kowtow to the Great Master of the Divine Eagle, thank him for the fish!"

After saying that, he knelt down first. The person who could subdue such a big divine eagle as a mount must be a god. The old man then kowtowed devoutly to Huang Sixi on the back of the divine eagle.

Huang Sixi looked back at the fishing boat. The shadow of the boat was getting smaller and smaller. When he flew across the river with the Divine Eagle, the fishing boat soon disappeared beyond the woods on the river bank.

The speed of the Divine Eagle was so fast that after crossing the river, it had already flown dozens of miles in the blink of an eye.

Huang Sixi paid close attention to the ground environment and suddenly saw a group of ragged beggars standing in the woods below. Each of them held a green bamboo stick and looked like disciples of the Beggars' Gang.

Huang Sixi signaled the Divine Eagle to land, intending to ask these beggars about the situation in the martial arts world. In those days, the Beggars' Sect was at the peak of its prosperity, and the ordinary disciples knew everything about the martial arts world.

There were more than ten beggars in the forest. When they saw a giant bird falling from the sky, they were so scared that they retreated uncontrollably.

As they retreated, a beautiful Taoist nun who was originally surrounded by them also revealed her figure.

Huang Sixi jumped off the eagle's back and wanted to greet the beggars, but when he looked at the Taoist nun lying on the ground, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "What are you doing here, tying up a woman in broad daylight?"

The group of beggars were still shocked by the might of the Divine Condor. They stood there in a daze, not daring to say a word.

The old man with eight cloth bags hanging on his head, who looked like the leader of the beggars, smiled politely, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. We are heroes of the Beggars' Sect. We are helping the people get rid of harm!"

He pointed at the nun and said, "This thief is a murderer. She killed a whole family of fishermen on the river bank. We received the news and came here to hunt her down!"

Huang Sixi pointed with his arm horizontally: "Untie the acupuncture points of this Taoist nun and make her speak!"

The nun had tears in her eyes and looked extremely miserable. She was currently tied up with hemp ropes and her belly was slightly bulging, as if she was pregnant.

If a woman is about to become a mother, it is unlikely that she would kill her entire family.

The old man with eight bags refused to obey and continued to smile: "This woman is a Taoist nun, but she did not abide by the rules and regulations and had an affair with someone, and got pregnant. She is definitely not a good girl. We in the Beggars' Sect act clearly and will not wrongly accuse her. We will bring her back to the Beggars' Sect to deal with her, and you don't need to worry about it!"

When Huang Sixi saw the old man speaking, his eyes flashed and looked straight at him, and even his voice was filled with internal force.

"Huh? Soul Transfer Technique?"

Huang Sixi noticed that the old man was secretly practicing a secret skill similar to the "Soul Transfer Technique". He snorted coldly, looked him straight in the eye, and reflected the force back.

The old man shuddered, his vision blurred, and he lost his mind. He raised the bamboo stick and smashed it hard on his forehead. Bang! His skull shattered, and he fell to the ground, dead.

Huang Sixi felt that this old man must have used the soul-transferring technique to harm people often in the past. The Taoist nun on earth was probably possessed by this, and those beggars around him must not be good people either.

Those beggars were originally afraid of the Divine Condor because of its savage physique, and when they saw the old man with eight bags being killed by Huang Sixi's evil magic, they seemed to be frightened out of their wits, and they scattered like birds and beasts in an instant without waiting for Huang Sixi to take action.

When the Divine Eagle saw the beggars fleeing, it spread its wings and, bringing with it a gust of wind, pounced towards the dozen or so beggars. Not only was it good at flying, it was even better at fighting. It extended its eagle claws forward and started chasing them.

With the Divine Eagle's flying speed, even if these dozen beggars fled separately, they would still be caught up by the Divine Eagle one by one.

Huang Sixi ignored them and let the Divine Eagle go after the enemy. He untied the Taoist nun's acupuncture points and asked, "Who are these beggars and why are they holding you hostage?"

"They are all members of the Beggars' Sect!"

The Taoist nun glanced at the corpse of the old man with eight bags and said, "This evil man's surname is Peng. He was one of the four elders of the Beggars' Sect!"

"With this character, he is still an elder?"

Huang Sixi recalled the situation of the Beggar Gang in The Return of the Condor Heroes. There was indeed a vicious elder named Peng, who colluded with Yang Kang during the Junshan Conference and used the "mind-control technique" to plot against Huang Rong. However, he was defeated by Huang Rong using the "soul-transferring technique", stripped of his position as elder, and demoted to an eight-bag disciple.

This man was born with evil intentions. Later, he met Mu Nianci who was living in seclusion in the mountains. He was greedy for Mu Nianci's beauty, so he captured her and wanted to do something wrong.

Huang Sixi couldn't help but look at the Taoist nun and asked, "Are you really a Taoist priest?"

The nun blushed and shook her head silently.
