Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 199 On top of the light
"Brother, are you going to Kunlun Mountain?"

Huang Rong looked towards the west: "As far as I know, the Kunlun Mountains are thousands of miles long, even longer than the Central Plains. Which section of the mountain are you going to?"

The Kunlun Mountains run east-west, with the eastern part located in the Central Plains of Gansu and Shaanxi, and the western part extending directly to the Western Regions.

Now, after passing Kunlun to the west, you can go directly to the powerful Western Region country, Khwarezm. This country controls the trade route between China and the West and has enjoyed huge profits from the Silk Road for many years.

Huang Sixi replied: "Do you know the location of Baituo Villa?"

"It's very clear. White Camel Villa is far away in the Western Regions. It was built on the place where the Dayuan divine horses were produced in abundance in ancient times!"

Huang Rong looked back at Ouyang Feng and asked Huang Sixi in a low voice, "Brother, is the place you are going to very close to White Camel Villa?"

"It's not that close!"

Huang Sixi introduced her: "The mountain I want to go to is hundreds of miles away from Baituo Villa, but both places are located west of Kunlun Mountain. The most famous landmark nearby is Baituo Villa!"

When people in the Central Plains mention Kunlun Mountain, the first thing they think of is Kunlun Sect, but Kunlun Sect is located in the eastern part of the mountain range, a long way from Guangmingding.

Huang Sixi mentioned Baituo Villa to Huang Rong in order to let Huang Rong have a clearer understanding of the location of the mountain he visited.

Huang Rong nodded in realization and suddenly laughed again: "If the place you are going to is only a few hundred miles away from the Western Regions, that would be great, we would be on the way!"

"Oh, so you plan to go to the Western Regions!"

Huang Sixi thought she was extremely bold. Such a weak woman actually traveled thousands of miles to a foreign land to make a living. If she was not careful on the way, she would probably be buried in the wilderness.

But Huang Sixi knew what she was going to do in the Western Regions, so he didn't persuade her. He just said, "No matter where you go, you need to write a letter before you leave!"

"Writing the letter is no problem. How are you going to send the letter back to Peach Blossom Island?"

"Brother Eagle is very fast. He can run back and forth in one day!"

"If I let Brother Eagle send a letter to my father, and my father rides on Brother Eagle to look for me, I won't be able to go anywhere!"

If Huang Yaoshi knew that his precious daughter was going to venture into the Western Regions alone, he would probably risk his life to capture Huang Rong and bring her home.

Huang Sixi knew Huang Rong's concerns, so he asked her, "Then what do you say we should do? I have found you now, you can't let me break my promise to your father!"

"How about this!"

Huang Rong raised the dog-beating stick in her hand and said, "Look, my dear brother, I am the 19th generation leader of the Beggars' Sect and can command all the beggars in the world. We can go to the nearby towns to find the Beggars' Sect branch and give the letter to the disciples of the Beggars' Sect to deliver. In this way, my dear brother will not have to break his promise and I can also inform my father of my whereabouts!"

She said with a pitiful look: "If you don't agree, then I can only decline your kindness and walk to the Western Regions alone!"

"The Beggars' Sect is a gang in Song territory. Do they also have a branch in Jin territory?"

"Haha, there are many. The world has been in turmoil for years, and the last thing it lacks is beggars. As long as they become beggars, they will be willing to join our Beggars' Sect!"

On that day in front of Xuanyuan Terrace on Junshan Island, Yang Kang and Huang Rong competed for the position of leader of the Beggars' Sect. The Beggars' Sect had branches and disciples all over the Jin Kingdom, and had been hostile to the Jin people for many years.

Every time the Jin army invaded the south, the Beggars' Gang would harass the Jin army in the rear, assassinate generals, or burn food and grass. Yang Kang knew this situation, and he took over the position of gang leader in order to have all the Beggars' Gang disciples retreat south to ensure the Jin army's southern expedition.

Huang Rong briefly explained the situation to Huang Sixi, and then asked, "Brother, do you agree to my arrangement?"

Huang Sixi had no objection and said honestly, "I actually only met your father once. Seeing that Brother Diao was fast, he temporarily entrusted me to find someone. He only said that after you find you, send him a letter! I suggest that you use Brother Diao to send the letter, but if you don't want to, then I will definitely do it according to your wishes. Your father didn't ask me to order you to do anything!"

Huang Rong immediately pointed at the Divine Eagle and said, "So, let's go find the Beggars' Sect branch now?"

“You can’t go now!”

Huang Sixi looked at Taiyuan City from afar and said, "It's getting dark. We will stay here for one night. If the Mongolian Tartars still don't send troops to pursue those people tomorrow, it won't be too late for us to leave!"

Huang Rong understood what he meant. Since they had saved those people, they couldn't give up halfway.

But Huang Rong was a little confused: "My dear brother, you just killed so many Tartars, they must be prepared. Once they send out their troops, I'm afraid there will be at least thousands of elite cavalry. You are so weak, how can you stop them?"

Huang Sixi said lightly: "I don't need to stop all the thousands of elite cavalrymen. I just need to kill the commander. To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader!"

Huang Rong hurriedly added: "These Tartars have strict military discipline and are good at fighting. Even if their commander dies in battle, their subordinates will not be held accountable. Instead, they will take over the responsibility of commander and continue to command the army!"

Huang Sixi paused for a moment and replied, "Whoever is in command will be killed! I have assassinated at least 80 generals in the past, and they all blew up their camps without exception. No army could hold out to the end!"

Huang Rong remained silent. She subconsciously thought that Huang Sixi was bragging. If Huang Sixi had really killed a hundred Tartar commanders, he must have been very famous in the Tartar army, and Guo Jing could not have been unaware of this.

But Guo Jing never mentioned Huang Sixi to her.

She couldn't help but ask, "I still don't know what to call you, brother?"

"My name is Huang Sixi!"

As Huang Sixi was speaking, he took out a flying knife from his waist, suddenly turned half a circle, used the "Flying Fairy from the Sky", and shot it towards Ouyang Feng in the woods.

The two men were only ten feet apart, and it was dark at this time. It was not easy to block Huang Sixi's full-strength attack.

Ouyang Feng's luck was incredibly good. He held a snake staff in his hand, and whenever he stopped, he would hold the staff upright in front of him.

Huang Sixi swung the knife suddenly in order to catch Ouyang Feng off guard, but Ouyang Feng was just changing his hand to hold the staff, and the flying knife hit the staff without deflection.

'Keng! '

Ouyang Feng's eyes widened as he saw the tip of the knife had already penetrated the staff and was only a few inches away from his throat. If it weren't for the snake staff to block it, the consequences would have been disastrous.

But there was no fear in Ouyang Feng's eyes, instead there was anger.

Just now, he saw Huang Sixi rescuing the people alone, and in his heart he regarded Huang Sixi as a master comparable to the Five Supreme Masters. However, Huang Sixi secretly made a move and launched a sneak attack on him.

"So shameless..."

Before Ouyang Feng could finish his words, the second knife came from the air.

He stamped his feet hard, retreated quickly, stomped on the ground again, and leaped high into the treetops, then began to jump back and forth on the trees. He knew that Huang Sixi was very powerful, so he didn't dare to fight Huang Sixi head-on, so he tried to take advantage of the night and hide his body with the help of the lush branches.

But Huang Sixi could see at night and saw his escape route clearly.

Huang Sixi followed him using his Qinggong skills and fired three flying knives in succession. Then he heard a muffled groan from between the treetops.

Immediately afterwards, a pool of blood spurted out from between the trees.

Huang Sixi knew that Ouyang Feng had been stabbed, and was about to make another effort to knock Ouyang Feng to the ground completely.

The rustling sound of spitting suddenly sounded all around.

More than ten poisonous snakes fell from the sky, turned in mid-air, and pounced towards Huang Sixi.

At the same time, more than ten snake shadows circled behind Huang Sixi and rushed towards Huang Rong.

Huang Sixi was not afraid of poison, nor was he worried about Huang Rong being attacked by snakes. Just now he had asked the Divine Condor to stay by Huang Rong's side. With the Divine Condor's years of experience in fighting against the Bosuqu snake, it would be easy for it to get rid of a few poisonous snakes.

Originally Huang Sixi wanted to continue swinging his sword, but suddenly he heard a rapid horn sound in his ears, followed by deafening shouts of killing. This was the signal for the Tartars to launch a charge.

Huang Sixi immediately put away his knife and ignored Ouyang Feng.

As he ran towards Huang Rong, he pulled out a bone flute from his waist and played the secret of the snake-driving technique.

After Huang Sixi and Huang Rong reunited, the twenty or so poisonous snakes left by Ouyang Feng had already lined up in an orderly manner and followed Huang Sixi obediently.

"ah?"

Huang Rong glanced at the snakes and felt incredible. She thought that this man was truly all-powerful. Not only did he chase the fearsome West Poison all over the forest, he even subdued the poisonous snakes that the West Poison relied on for his life.

Huang Rong thought happily, "The old poisonous guy has been chasing me like a dog-skin plaster for several months, and now I have been chased by you like a drowned dog. Haha, it really is a tit-for-tat!"

Then he looked towards the direction of Taiyuan City, and saw dense torches outside the city, rushing towards the top of the city like a tide.

Huang Rong knew that Huang Sixi was concerned about the war, so she said, "The elite troops of the Mongolian Tartars only have 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers. They are good at field battles but not familiar with sieges. The main force of the siege is actually the Han army hereditary nobles who surrendered to the Tartars. These hereditary nobles know the situation in Taiyuan City. A few days ago, they captured many civilians outside the city and drove them all into the city, consuming the food and grass in the city. Now the soldiers in the city are in chaos. I'm afraid the city will be captured tonight!"

The original intention of driving the people out was to attack the city, which would consume the arrows and boulders on the city walls and the city's defense equipment. The officials in the city were unwilling to waste the equipment on the people, so they opened the city gates and began to take in the people.

But it was not possible to take them in. The Tartars did not just drive out a group of civilians and be done with it. They captured civilians and attacked the city every day, causing the food and grass in the city to be quickly consumed.

Anyway, no matter whether the soldiers defending the city kill the civilians or save them, they will all fall into the trap of the Mongolian Tartars.

Huang Sixi originally wanted to investigate the situation of the siege, but when he heard Huang Rong mention the hereditary marquis of the Han army, he immediately stopped and asked, "How many Han soldiers are there on the side defending the city, and how many Jin soldiers are there?"

Huang Rong pouted: "The officials are all Jin people, and the poor soldiers are all Han people, no different from the Mongolian Tartars!"

Huang Sixi said: "If I fly over now and assassinate the leaders of the Tartars and the Jin soldiers, can I stop this siege?"

Huang Rong shook her head slightly. "The Jin Kingdom is in turmoil right now. If we kill the Jin army commander, the rest of the army may not fight again. However, the Mongolian Tartars are at their peak, and their desire for revenge is particularly strong. If a great noble dies, they will not only not retreat, but may even massacre the city to vent their anger!"

"Oh? Are there any nobles among the Mongol Tartars?"

Huang Sixi asked: "I heard that Temujin's fourth son, Tolui, is here. Is that true?"

"Torre has already returned to the Mobei steppe! The current commander of the Mongolian Tartar army is Mu Huali, and he has the highest rank!"

Huang Rong suddenly felt frightened, thinking that with Huang Sixi's martial arts, if he tried to assassinate the Mongolian Khan Temujin and Tolui, he would have a 70% chance of success. But now Guo Jing was with Temujin and Tolui. If Guo Jing insisted on protecting Temujin and Tolui, what should she do if Guo Jing and Huang Sixi fought?
Huang Rong couldn't help but shudder, and the more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.

Huang Sixi was thinking about another thing. In history, after Temujin's death, the Mongolian Tartars directly massacred the Western Xia just to avenge Temujin.

Therefore, if Huang Sixi wanted to assassinate the Mongolian Tartar nobles in the future, he would need to wipe out these nobles in their entirety. If there was no opportunity to wipe them out in their entirety, he must also think of a proper plan. In short, he must not provoke the Mongolian Tartars to retaliate against the people of the Central Plains afterwards.

Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of participating in the war.

Until the next morning, there was still no sign of the Mongolian Tartars sweeping towards this side.

Huang Sixi signaled Huang Rong to ride on the Divine Condor, first to find the Beggars' Sect branch to deliver the letter, and then fly west.

After borrowing the "Lankavatara Sutra" from Shaolin Temple that day, Huang Sixi would study the scriptures whenever he had free time, and he had already found the "Nine Yang Manual" in the interlayer.

However, there were no inscribed words on the Nine Yang Manual. If he wanted to inherit this martial art, he had to practice it himself. He was flying all the time and it was not convenient for him to practice martial arts for the time being, so he put the Nine Yang Manual away.

He planned to study it together after obtaining "The Great Shift of the Universe".

Currently, the Central Plains martial arts world is in the era of the Five Supremes. The Five Supremes are the masters with the strongest known martial arts. Although the Ming Cult headquarters on the Bright Summit has some history, there are no masters who can compare with the Five Supremes.

Huang Sixi was very confident about breaking into Guangmingding. As long as the original volume of "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" was in the headquarters of the Ming Cult, he was sure that he could find it.

Since Huang Sixi and Huang Rong were riding on the Divine Condor together, their journey was much slower.

It was not until half a month later that the two flew over the vast Kunlun Mountains and landed on Guangmingding.

They could look down from a high vantage point along the way and see the densely packed buildings on Guangmingding, so they chose to land in the snowy forest on one side of the building.

Huang Sixi's purpose of going there was to steal the martial arts secrets, so he did not plan to enter openly. He planned to wait until nightfall and then sneak in quietly.

Huang Rong did not ask the reason. In her opinion, Huang Sixi came all the way to the top of Kunlun Mountain and he definitely did not intend to do anything bad. She just needed to follow him for sightseeing.

After landing, Huang Sixi asked her to find a secluded place to rest for a while and get some food. When she was about to do it, she suddenly heard a distant singing voice coming into her ears.

The tune of this song was a little strange, and it was totally different from the music in the Central Plains. Huang Rong listened attentively and roughly understood the meaning of the song: "It comes like flowing water, and passes like the wind! I don't know where it comes from, and where it will end!"

Huang Rong found it novel and asked Huang Sixi where it came from: "Where is this tune from? It sounds very sad!"

This song seems to be telling about the impermanence of life and death. Everyone comes to this world like flowing water in a river. No matter who they are, heroes or ordinary people, they will eventually die. After death, they will be like the breeze, blowing to who knows where.

Huang Sixi introduced: "This is a Persian song. The martial arts of the people who live in seclusion on this mountain originated from Persia. They are often visited by Persian masters. They must have learned Persian folk songs during their interactions."
