Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 198 The Great Shift of the Universe

The nine-tailed fox ran close to the ground, following the scent along the way.

Huang Sixi rode on the divine eagle, hovering above the nine-tailed fox and flying at a low altitude.

Since the Divine Eagle and the Little Fox were moving forward at the same pace, their speed naturally could not be increased.

We tracked them until dusk, but they had not traveled more than a hundred miles.

However, Huang Rong's whereabouts were already in sight.

The Divine Eagle was seen following the Nine-tailed Fox into a forest. When they were about to exit the forest, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in front of them. The sound was so loud that the Nine-tailed Fox was frightened and stopped in its tracks.

Seeing this, Huang Sixi signaled the Divine Eagle to land and stand guard beside the Nine-tailed Fox.

He walked out of the woods alone and came to the edge of a several-meter-high earthen slope. Looking out from the height, he found that below the slope was an endless open plain.

On the plain, a Mongolian Tatar cavalry of several hundred men was driving a group of ragged refugees towards the huge city in the distance.

Mongol Tartars appeared here, and there was also a city. It must be outside the city of Taiyuan.

The refugee group must be civilians captured by the Mongolian Tartars from villages and towns outside the city, who intended to force them to attack Taiyuan City.

The team was so densely packed that Huang Sixi roughly estimated that the number should be over a thousand, including men and women, old and young, all with faces full of tension and fear.

On one side of the team, close to Huang Sixi, there was a petite and slender girl in green, holding a child in her arms, leaning down and quietly blending into the team.

Behind the girl and the child, followed closely by a tall old man in a white robe.

The old man was holding a walking stick with a snake carved on the top. When he saw the girl and the child joining the refugee group, he was about to follow them. But he turned his head and looked at the Mongolian Tatar cavalry behind the refugees. As if he was afraid of the cavalry's ferocity, he was unwilling to abandon the girl and the child, so he turned around and ran back towards the woods.

When Huang Sixi saw this scene, he confirmed that the girl in green was Huang Rong, the child was Datou, the grandson of the dwarf old man, and the old man in white robe was undoubtedly Ouyang Feng.

Huang Sixi immediately turned back to the forest, grabbed the nine-tailed fox with one hand, and jumped onto the eagle's back: "Brother Eagle, let's go!"

The nine-tailed fox was obsessed with the roast chicken. When it saw that Huang Sixi didn't allow it to continue following the scent of the roast chicken, it kept chirping to express its protest to Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi immediately glared at it and said, "Behave yourself, or you'll get food!"

In terms of understanding human nature alone, the Nine-tailed Fox is inferior to the Divine Eagle.

But the nine-tailed fox had a talent, it was very good at observing people's words and expressions. When it saw Huang Sixi frowning and not looking at it well, it immediately calmed down and lay back on Huang Sixi's shoulder obediently, not saying a word to avoid being punished by Huang Sixi.

After it stopped talking, the Divine Eagle had already flown into the air. Under Huang Sixi's instructions, the Divine Eagle rushed into the refugee group and hovered directly above the heads of the green-clothed girl and the child.

"Ms. Huang Rong?"

Huang Sixi asked from a high position.

"Huh? Who are you? How do you know my name? I don't know you!" The girl in green was originally jogging with the refugee group, thinking about how to escape from the group. When she saw the Divine Eagle suddenly landed, she was really surprised.

Huang Sixi immediately jumped down from the eagle's back, and pulled out the iron flute given by Huang Yaoshi from his waist, along with the dog-beating stick he had found in the bamboo forest earlier, and threw them to Huang Rong: "Your father asked me to come find you, hurry up and get on the eagle's back, I'll take you out!"

Huang Rong held the flute in her left hand and the stick in her right hand. Her pretty face showed confusion at first, but then she laughed, hugged the child beside her and jumped onto the back of the eagle.

When the divine eagle saw her and the child coming up, it flapped its wings vigorously and flew high into the sky in an instant.

Huang Rong looked down at Huang Sixi, who was still stranded in the refugee group, and immediately became anxious: "Hey, Brother Diao, your master hasn't come up yet, why are you running away alone!"

The moment Huang Rong saw Tie Xiao just now, she guessed that Huang Sixi was sent by her father, Huang Yaoshi. Even if he was not sent by her father, he must have been commissioned by her father.

She believed that Huang Sixi was coming to rescue her, and was very concerned about his safety. She shouted to the Divine Eagle, "Brother Eagle, fly down quickly and bring your master up!"

The Divine Eagle turned a deaf ear to it. It flew to a height of thirty to fifty feet, and after making sure that the arrows of the Mongolian Tatar cavalry on the ground could not reach it, it began to circle in the air.

Huang Rong saw the Divine Eagle circling in the sky but not moving away from the refugee group. She couldn't help but think, "Brother Eagle wouldn't abandon its master for no reason. It must have received orders from its master in advance!"

Thinking of this, Huang Rong leaned over the edge of the eagle's back and looked down, only to see that Huang Sixi had already rushed out of the refugee team, holding a sharp sword and charging towards the Mongolian Tatar cavalry.

Huang Rong finally understood: "He originally wanted to save me, but he felt sorry for the thousands of civilians, so he let Brother Diao carry me first, and he went to fight the Mongolian Tartars alone!"

Huang Rong understood the key point and was immediately anxious: "But the Mongolian Tartars have hundreds of cavalrymen. How can he resist them alone?"

She stretched out her fair neck and shouted to the Divine Eagle again, "Brother Eagle, we can't let your master fight alone. Let's go down and accompany your master to kill the Tartars!"

The Divine Eagle suddenly raised its head, showing disdain for her words.

Huang Rong was puzzled: "Huh? What do you mean? Your master doesn't need our help?"

She continued to look down and was suddenly stunned.

Huang Sixi rushed into the Mongolian Tatar cavalry like a lion into a flock of sheep. With a wave of his sword, the Mongolian Tatar cavalry fell off their horses one after another.

However, the Mongolian Tartars had rich combat experience. When they saw that Huang Sixi had outstanding martial arts skills and could jump back and forth between many horses at a distance of several feet, they immediately scattered, ran to a distance of twenty or thirty feet, formed a circular battle formation, surrounded Huang Sixi in the middle, and began to ride and shoot in a roundabout way.

Huang Sixi was not in a hurry. He held the Dragon Subduing Sword in one hand and used the arrow-breaking style of "Nine Swords of Dugu" to block the arrows coming from all directions on the spot.

With his other hand he took out a jade bee needle and shot it into the air from a distance of twenty or thirty feet. Every time he fired a needle, a Mongol Tartar cavalryman would fall off his horse.

Huang Sixi had already used this combat strategy skillfully when he dealt with the Qing cavalry in Tianshan.

He never worried about being surrounded by cavalry on the battlefield. Instead, he was afraid that the cavalry ran too fast and prevented him from using flying needles to kill them one by one.

After fighting for a while, the Mongolian Tatar cavalry were horrified to find that the range of their bows and arrows was almost the same as that of Huang Sixi's flying needles. However, their arrows could not hurt Huang Sixi at all, while Huang Sixi's needles could kill with every strike. They no longer had the idea of fighting, and they all turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the huge city in the distance.

Outside the city, there were dense flags and traces of Mongolian Tartars everywhere. Thousands of catapults stood around the city like man-eating beasts.

The Mongolian Tartars attacked Taiyuan City for more than a month and almost exhausted the weapons and food in the city. They believed that the capture of the city was a foregone conclusion, so they set up their central camp outside the city.

The Tatar cavalry who were defeated by Huang Sixi were about to retreat to the central camp of the Mongolian army. They tried to get reinforcements and fight Huang Sixi again.

But the reason why Huang Sixi attacked and killed this group of Tartar cavalry was only to rescue the more than a thousand people present. When he saw the Tartar cavalry retreating, he immediately gathered his inner strength and shouted, signaling the people to flee south.

With his current level of internal strength, once he uttered a word, it could be clearly heard within a radius of several miles. When the people heard his reminder, they immediately strode madly towards the south.

Huang Sixi watched the people go into the woods they had seen earlier, and then he signaled the Divine Eagle to land.

Huang Rong was a very outgoing person. After she landed and met Huang Sixi, she smiled and gave him a thumbs up, saying to him, "My dear brother, you are really good at martial arts. You killed the Tartars and saved the people from danger. I admire you very much!"

Huang Sixi pointed to the Mongolian camp and replied, "The Tartars have a strong desire for revenge and will come back soon, so the people are not completely out of danger! It's too dangerous for you to stay here. Brother Eagle can travel a thousand miles a day and can send you back to Peach Blossom Island in one day. Your father is worried about your safety, so you should follow Brother Eagle home now!"

Huang Rong was stunned for a moment, and her expression became serious: "Brother, are you planning to single-handedly stop the pursuit of the Tartars for the people? Then I will definitely stay to help and accompany you to save the people!"

Huang Sixi shook his head: "Your martial arts skills are too low. If you are surrounded by the Tartars, not only will you be unable to help me, but I will also have time to save you. If you go home now, it will be the greatest help to me!"

"Hey? My martial arts skills are low?"

Huang Rong was very indignant and wanted to argue with Huang Sixi immediately, but she turned her gaze and suddenly looked towards the woods behind Huang Sixi, only to see an old man in a white robe standing by the woods. Who else could it be but Ouyang Feng?
Huang Rong thought to herself, "The old poisoner clearly saw me, but he didn't come over to capture me. What is he afraid of? He must be afraid of this gentleman! My martial arts are weaker than the old poisoner's, and even weaker than this gentleman's. This gentleman despises my low martial arts skills, isn't that right?"

Just now, Ouyang Feng witnessed Huang Sixi's battle with the Tatar cavalry.

Huang Sixi fired hidden weapons from a distance of twenty or thirty feet, and every move hit the Tartar cavalry's vital points.

Ouyang Feng boasted that his internal strength was unrivaled in the world, so he could barely shoot and kill the Tartar cavalry from such a long distance.

However, hundreds of cavalrymen surrounded Huang Sixi and shot at him, but all the arrows were blocked by Huang Sixi's lightness skills. This scene really shocked Ouyang Feng. He believed that no matter how high his martial arts skills were, he would have to retreat when faced with a situation where hundreds of arrows were fired at him.

Ouyang Feng did not dare to confront the Tatar cavalry of more than a hundred people head-on, but Huang Sixi could deal with them with ease. What does this mean? Huang Sixi's martial arts must be stronger than Ouyang Feng's!
The key point is that Huang Sixi is guarded by a giant eagle. After repeated weighing, Ouyang Feng felt that he had no chance of winning against the combination of Huang Sixi and the giant eagle. So he suppressed the urge to capture Huang Rong and chose to wait and see.

Huang Sixi noticed Huang Rong's gaze, turned his head and glanced at Ouyang Feng, then said to Huang Rong: "You can fly high on the eagle's back, that old man can't hurt you at all, don't worry!"

"As long as I stay by your side, I won't be afraid of that old poisonous creature!"

Huang Rong suddenly stood up, jumped off the eagle's back, and firmly expressed her feelings: "I don't want to return to Peach Blossom Island for the time being. You may have been asked by my father to do this, but I really have my own difficulties. I can only let you down!"

"You must stay?"

"Well! I must stay!"

"Well, I'll let Brother Diao send this child away first!"

Huang Sixi gestured to the Divine Eagle, and the Divine Eagle immediately flew into the sky with the child on its back.

Huang Rong was surprised: "My dear, Brother Diao, do you know where that child's home is?"

Huang Sixi replied, "On my way north, I happened to meet this kid's grandfather. It was his grandfather who asked me to look for him in the bamboo forest. That's how I was able to find you!"

Huang Rong opened her beautiful eyes and said, "My younger sister has released eight children in the bamboo forest. Have you seen them, brother?"

Huang Sixi had already returned the dog-beating stick to her, so she believed what Huang Sixi said without a doubt.

Huang Sixi nodded: "I have asked Brother Diao to send them away, and now they have all been reunited with their parents!"

"My dear brother, you are really..."

Even the eloquent Huang Rong could not find the words to describe Huang Sixi. She laughed and laughed, praised and praised, and finally said: "Brother, you are always considerate and thoughtful. I admire you so much. Why don't I cook for you myself and show you my cooking skills to thank you!"

Without waiting for Huang Sixi to answer, the nine-tailed fox suddenly jumped, landed on Huang Rong's shoulder, and sniffed at her with its nose.

Huang Rong saw a spirit beast landing on her shoulder, and dared not move. She hurriedly went to Huang Sixi to ask for advice: "My dear, besides Brother Eagle, do you also raise Brother Fox?"

She thought to herself that this man was truly an extraordinary person, as he was able to subdue birds of prey and cunning beasts.

Huang Sixi smiled slightly: "I was able to find you, all thanks to this little fox. It was greedy for your roasted chicken. If you have time in the future, you might as well make it a delicious meal!"

Huang Rong couldn't help but smile: "One meal is not enough, at least ten meals are needed!"

After saying that, he turned his head and winked at the nine-tailed fox: "Don't you think so, Brother Fox?"

At this time, the nine-tailed fox had finished sniffing and did not find the roast chicken on Huang Rong. It suddenly jumped back to Huang Sixi's shoulder, as if it had lost interest. It lay on Huang Sixi's shoulder, closed its eyes and fell asleep.

Huang Rong thought to herself upon seeing this, it would only get close to me when there was roast chicken, otherwise it would not pay any attention to me at all. This fox brother is a foodie!

She had already figured out the nature of the Nine-tailed Fox, but she had no idea what the Divine Condor liked, so she immediately asked Huang Sixi.

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly they heard the cry of an eagle.

The Divine Eagle had delivered the child and returned.

But strangely, the Mongolian Tartars did not send any troops over.

Huang Rong looked at the city of Taiyuan and said to Huang Sixi, "My dear brother, the Tartars are driving the people away in order to attack the city. They have surrounded Taiyuan for more than a month and are actually on the verge of breaking the city. As long as the city can be broken, they don't care whether the thousands of people escape!"

"It would be best if they don't come after the people!"

Huang Sixi glanced at Huang Rong and asked, "You insist on staying here. Do you have something private to do?"

Huang Rong did not answer, but asked: "What about you, brother? You have found me and rescued the people. What are your plans next?"

Huang Sixi did not hide anything: "I am going to Kunlun Mountain soon. If you have somewhere to go, I can ask Brother Diao to give you a ride! But you need to write a letter first, so that I can give it to your father to fulfill the agreement with your father!"

Huang Sixi went to Kunlun Mountain for the mysterious skill "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".

This mysterious skill is the most anticipated superior martial art by Huang Sixi besides the "Nine Yang Divine Art".

However, the "Nine Yang Divine Art" was hidden in the Sutra Library of Shaolin Temple, and Huang Sixi was not sure where the "Great Shift of the Universe" was hidden.

He speculated that "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" was hidden in Guangmingding, the headquarters of the Ming Cult in Kunlun Mountain, which was also the reason why he went to Kunlun Mountain.
