Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 204: Two Dragons Fetching Water
Huang Sixi had previously speculated that Huo Shan had practiced "The Great Shift of the Universe", and this was indeed the case.

Huang Sixi read the Holy Fire Token according to the mental method on it.

He soon realized that the skills of "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" were emerging layer by layer in his body.

From the first level to the fifth level, Huang Sixi had the sense of martial arts in an instant.

At this moment, he only felt that his whole body of spirit and strength was full and abundant. He could release and retract at will. He had an indescribable sense of comfort in every part of his body. This showed that Huo Shan had already practiced "The Great Shift of the Universe" to the perfect state of the fifth level.

However, when Huang Sixi began to inherit the sixth level of the method, his body suddenly showed abnormalities. His heartbeat quickened, his qi and blood surged, and his true qi gradually became disordered.

He thought to himself, "This is a sign of being possessed!"

Of course, it wasn't him who had the misfire, but Huo Shan's misfire symptoms were passed on to him.

He immediately thought, "Huo Shan is a man of great talent. He practiced the fifth level of The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, but he stopped there and could not break through the shackles of the sixth level. He forced himself to practice the sixth level of mental skills, and he almost went astray. I inherited this sequelae!"

But he was not in a hurry. He immediately used Rama's internal energy. He felt Rama's true energy circulate in his body once, and his body returned to normal. Then he continued to inherit the sixth level of "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".

He knew clearly that Huo Shan showed signs of being possessed, but he still wanted to inherit the magic skills. It was not because he was being bold, but because he was confident that he could resolve the symptoms of being possessed.

The opening chapter of "The Great Shift of the Universe" states that practitioners must have powerful internal strength to assist them, otherwise it will be difficult to make any progress and they will go astray if they are not careful.

This is like a seven or eight-year-old child swinging a sledgehammer weighing 100 pounds. The more sophisticated the hammer technique, the more likely it is to smash the child's head and cause bloodshed. However, if the person swinging the hammer is a strong man, there will be no such hidden danger.

Huang Sixi happens to be the king among strongmen. Although he has not yet practiced the "Nine Yang Divine Art", his internal strength is definitely not inferior to Zhang Wuji in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. He can easily practice the "Great Shift of the Universe" to the sixth level of perfection in half a day just like Zhang Wuji.

It is actually very easy for him to wield the iron hammer of "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" now. Any mistakes that may go astray can be corrected during the period of inheriting the method.

As expected, when he had inherited all of Huoshan's martial arts, he had successfully cultivated the sixth level of "The Great Shift of the Universe".

At this point, he had a clearer understanding of Huo Shan's level of martial arts.

First of all, Huo Shan's internal strength is definitely weaker than Huang Sixi's, because Huo Shan can only practice "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" to the fifth level, and his internal strength is not enough to support him to explore the mysteries of the sixth level.

However, Huoshan's martial arts are not without merits.

It should be noted that Huo Shan started out as an assassin, and almost all the martial arts he learned were for the purpose of enhancing his assassination capabilities.

Especially the 'Bone-Piercing Needle', which condenses the internal force into a point or a line, and then launches a surprise attack on the opponent.

The "bone-penetrating needle" is an air needle, invisible and hard to guard against. Just now, when Huang Sixi was dueling with the old man in the mountains, he failed to block the attack of the bone-penetrating needle.

Ever since Huang Sixi inherited the 'Jade Bee Needle Technique' of the Ancient Tomb School in Mount Zhongnan, the power of this unique skill has never been improved.

After inheriting Huo Shan's unique skill of 'Bone-Piercing Needle' today, Huang Sixi plans to combine the 'Jade Bee Needle' and the 'Bone-Piercing Needle' into one, combining the solid needle with the gas. Even if a first-rate master comes to take over, they may be able to block the solid needle but cannot escape the sneak attack of the gas needle.

Thinking of this, Huang Sixi laughed and stopped practicing.

Shi Xinrou saw him wake up from his meditation and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Huang, have you cultivated the Great Shift of the Universe to the sixth level?"

Huang Sixi asked: "How do you know?"

Shi Xinrou pointed at his face and said, "When you were practicing the Great Shift of the Universe just now, the Qi appeared on your face! My father also practiced this magical skill. He practiced it to the third level. When he practiced it, the green and red Qi changed twice. Sir, you changed five times, so I guess you have practiced it to the sixth level!"

Huang Sixi did not hide it: "I have indeed cultivated to the sixth level, but I do not have the seventh level's mental skills, so I may not be able to make "The Great Shift of the Universe" go further and reach its peak!"

When Shi Xinrou heard this, she immediately reached into her arms and took out a piece of sheepskin.

She spread out the sheepskin: "This is the relic my father passed on to me before he left. It contains the complete mental method of "The Great Shift of the Universe"!"

This sheepskin is coated with a special material and must be stained with blood to make the words visible.

Shi Xinrou took out a dagger and planned to cut her finger.

As a result, Huang Sixi reached out and held her palm.

"Sir, the words on the sheepskin need to be soaked in blood to be revealed!"

"I know!"

"Then why did you..."

"Because it's not necessary. The skills on this sheepskin are of no use to me. You don't need to hurt your fingers for nothing!"

"This is the original scroll of the secret technique passed down from the Persian Grand Master. It was written by the founder of 'The Great Shift of the Universe' and contains the complete secrets of the seventh level. How could it be useless?"

Huang Sixi said to her, "The founder himself did not practice to the seventh level, and the mental method he wrote was just a fantasy. I will deduce the seventh level myself, which will be more exquisite and more complete than his mental method!"

Shi Xinrou opened her beautiful eyes, and her mind became confused.

She was stunned for a moment, then silently folded up the parchment scroll, put it back in her arms, and smiled sweetly: "I believe everything you say, sir!"

Looking at Huang Sixi again at this moment, her eyes were full of admiration. Her father once told her that the Central Plains Ming Cult had inherited thirty generations of leaders, and only the eighth generation, Leader Zhong, had practiced "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" to the fifth level, while the other leaders could only reach the fourth level at most. If anyone could practice to the sixth level, he would definitely be a genius that is rare in hundreds of years.

Huang Sixi had cultivated the sixth level to perfection, and was obviously the rare genius her father had always called her.

Huang Sixi saw that she first gave him twelve Holy Fire Tokens and then gave him the original scroll of "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth", which was equivalent to taking out the most valuable relics of the Central Plains Ming Cult.

She is grateful and never keeps anything for herself.

Originally, Huang Sixi only planned to teach her younger brother, but now he has decided to teach her as well.

But before Huang Sixi could pass on his skills, his ears suddenly moved and he noticed footsteps coming from the mountains.

He immediately signaled Shi Xinrou: "Someone has climbed up to Guangmingding. Go and see who it is."

All the members of the Persian Ming Cult have been wiped out, and the people coming are most likely disciples of the Central Plains Ming Cult.

Shi Xinrou's answer also confirmed this: "It may be my great aunt who came. She is one of the Dharma Kings who protect the religion. She had a fight with an old man in the mountain a few days ago. The old man in the mountain knew that she was my relative, so he did not hurt her life, but only expelled her from Guangmingding. She always wanted to come back to reunite with me, but was stopped by the old man in the mountain. Now there are no troops of the Persian Grand Master stationed at the foot of the mountain, so she came up the mountain!" Shi Xinrou led her brother out of the Holy Fire Hall to meet her great aunt.

Huang Sixi rolled up his sleeves and placed the twelve Holy Fire Tokens around his waist, covering them up.

After a while, an old woman with white hair walked into the Holy Fire Hall accompanied by more than a dozen women in white robes.

This old woman is Shi Xinrou’s great aunt.

Due to time constraints, Huang Sixi did not have time to clean up the bodies of the old man in the mountain and the Persian Mingjiao members. After Shi Gu Po arrived in the hall, she went straight to the body of the old man in the mountain.

'Pooh! ’

Granny Shi first took a sip from the corpse, a look of contempt on her face, and angrily cursed: "You are a barbarian from the West with an eagle nose and blue eyes, and you want to marry my granddaughter of the Shi family? You are dreaming!"

She was a pure Central Plains woman, but her granddaughter Shi Xinrou also had the features of a turned-up nose and blue eyes. After she finished cursing, Shi Xinrou could not help but lower her head and blushed.

Granny Shi ignored Shi Xinrou's feelings and walked towards Huang Sixi, asking, "I heard from Rou'er that you killed the old man in the mountain, so you are the benefactor of the Ming Cult in the Central Plains. I am grateful to you, but I also have a question, and I hope Mr. Huang can answer it!"

"Mother-in-law, please speak!"

"Mr. Huang, your surname is Huang. There is a man named Huang Shang in the Central Plains martial arts world. Are you related to him?"

"I have nothing to do with Huang Shang!"

"Good! No connection!"

Granny Shi had a tense face, but suddenly her expression relaxed: "As long as Mr. Huang has no connection with that evil thief Huang Shang, then I can rest assured! In fact, Mr. Huang is willing to rescue our Zhongyuan Ming Cult, so I don't think he is the descendant of that evil thief Huang Shang!"

Huang Sixi was well aware of the feud between Huang Shang and the Ming Cult in Central Plains.

But Shi Xinrou didn't know much. She asked curiously, "Aunt, who is Huang Shang? Why do you call him an evil thief?"

"Huang Shang is a Central Plains official, and he has an irreconcilable feud with our Central Plains Ming Cult!"

Granny Shi sighed and explained to her, "That was a story that happened a hundred years ago. During the Zhenghe reign of Emperor Huizong, Fang La, the leader of the Ming Cult in the Central Plains, came to preach in the Central Plains. The area where Fang was preaching happened to be under the rule of Huang Shang. Emperor Huizong, that dog, was a devout Taoist and could not tolerate the Ming Cult, so he ordered Huang Shang to lead his troops to attack the Ming Cult. Unfortunately, Huang Shang was very skilled in martial arts and slaughtered all of the Ming Cult's messengers of light, Dharma Kings, and disciples of various flags, causing great damage to the Ming Cult. To this day, it has not recovered to the size of a hundred years ago!"

If Huang Shang had not massacred the Ming Cult, the Ming Cult would not have had to hide in Guangmingding in the Western Regions, resulting in the current decline of talent. Just participating in a war in Khwarezm almost led to the destruction of the Ming Cult in the Central Plains.

All the Ming Cult disciples of Gu Po Shi's generation hated Huang Shang to the core.

But Huang Shang's family was also killed by the Ming Cult back then, and Huang Shang himself was very indignant. After all, the order to exterminate the Ming Cult was issued by Huizong. If the Ming Cult wanted revenge, they should go to Huizong, why go to Huang Shang's family?

Afterwards, Huang Shang was hunted by the Ming Cult disciples and had nowhere to go, so he simply hid himself.

This hiding lasted for more than 40 years, and it was during this period that Huang Shang comprehended the unprecedented martial arts secret "Nine Yin Scriptures".

When Huang Shang completed the Nine Yin Scriptures and planned to seek revenge on the Ming Cult, he was shocked to find that all his former enemies had died of old age or illness.

Huang Shang had no hope of revenge and died in depression, leaving behind only his life's work, "Nine Yin Scriptures", which was spread in the Central Plains martial arts world.

In the decades after Huang Shang's death, the original volume of "Nine Yin Scriptures" was sealed in a hidden place. It was not until before the first Huashan Sword Meeting that the "Nine Yin Scriptures" suddenly appeared in the world and passed through the hands of more than one hundred martial arts masters, who tracked each other down and fought for it, indirectly causing countless people to die in the fight for this martial arts secret book.

In order to stop the fighting from continuing, Wang Chongyang, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain, organized the first Huashan Sword Contest. The purpose of this sword contest was to decide the ownership of the "Nine Yin Scriptures".

Therefore, the reason why the "Nine Yin Scriptures" came into being was due to the feud between the Ming Cult and Huang Shang.

Originally, Huang Sixi planned to teach the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter" of the "Nine Yin Manual" to Shi Xinrou and her brother in order to enhance their internal strength.

But when he heard Aunt Shi mention the century-old feud between the Ming Cult and Huang Shang, Huang Sixi immediately gave up the idea of teaching the Nine Yin Scriptures.

He thought that Kunlun Mountain was not far from Tianshan Mountain, and both mountain ranges were close to the Western Regions, so he took out the "Tianshan Sword Technique" that he had inherited from Master Huiming of the Tianshan Sect and taught it to Shi Xinrou and her brother.

This sword technique originated from Zhang Danfeng, was later improved by Huo Tiandu, and finally reached perfection in the hands of Master Huiming. It not only includes internal strength and mental methods, but also superb swordsmanship.

Once Shi Xinrou and her brother have mastered the "Tien Shan Sword Technique" and then practiced the "Great Shift of the Universe", they should be able to firmly grasp the power of the Ming Cult in the Central Plains, and also repay Huang Sixi for the twelve Holy Fire Tokens he was gifted.

Granny Shi had fought with the old man in the mountains many times and knew the old man's martial arts skills very well. Huang Sixi was able to kill the old man in the mountains in just a few moves, so his martial arts must have reached perfection. Huang Sixi proposed to teach Shi Xinjian martial arts, and Granny Shi had no reason to object. Instead, she enthusiastically tried to help Huang Sixi stay in Guangmingding.

Huang Sixi stayed there for more than half a year.

While he was teaching Shi Xinrou and her brother martial arts, he was also practicing "Nine Yang Magic Skill" and "The Great Shift of the Universe".

Since "The Great Shift of the Universe" has been practiced to the sixth level, Huang Sixi needs to comprehend the peak seventh level on his own. During his stay in Guangmingding, most of his time was spent on the deduction of the mental method.

After more than half a year, Huang Sixi had not yet perfected the deduction of the seventh level, but instead incorporated the first six levels into "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing".

Back in the day in "Blood of the Swordsman", Huang Sixi inherited Shi Huolong's twelve moves of the Dragon Subduing Palm through the Golden Bowl of the Beggar Gang. After arriving at "Swordsman", Huang Sixi began to create the thirteenth palm "Dragon Travels in Ten Thousand Paths" and the fourteenth palm "Dragon Fights in the Wild".

After so many years, Huang Sixi had not made any innovations in his palm techniques until he comprehended "The Great Shift of the Universe", which finally gave him the opportunity to create the fifteenth palm technique.

These 'Fifteen Palms' were named 'Double Dragons Fetching Water' by Huang Sixi!
"The Great Shift of the Universe" is a magical skill that stimulates the potential of the human body. Huang Sixi is limited by his own internal strength. He has double internal strength in his body, one is the internal strength accumulated in the dantian, the other is the self-training internal strength accumulated in the meridians.

Originally, these two internal forces had no influence on each other, but Huang Sixi discovered through the operation method of "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" that the two internal forces could be superimposed into one and combined into one palm.

This palm strike can double the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

This means that even if the opponent's lethality is twice as strong as his own, Huang Sixi can still rely on "Double Dragons Fetching Water" to fight back.

The fifteenth palm he created, 'Double Dragons Fetching Water', is a purely offensive palm technique.

He really hoped to create a purely defensive palm technique through the Nine Yang Magic Art, but unfortunately the Nine Yang Magic Art was not something that could be infused into the body like the Great Shift of the Universe.

He needs to practice on his own, and wait for several years until he has perfected the Nine Yang Divine Art, and only then can he incorporate new palm techniques.
