Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 209 Good and Evil Right and Wrong
In order to prevent being dragged into a protracted battle and attracting more Tartar masters, Huang Sixi spared no effort and decided to use a killing move first to kill one of them with a palm.

Guo Jing and the bald guard were closest to Huang Sixi, so they were naturally Huang Sixi's priority targets.

He just flashed and turned towards Guo Jing, then raised his palm and struck him fiercely.

The snow belt outside his body rose up with the wind, flew in front of his palm, and hit Guo Jing first.

When in the palace, Guo Jing was pulled by him using "The Great Shift of the Universe" and accidentally injured Qiu Chuji. At that time, he knew that his skills were extremely profound. Guo Jing did not dare to be careless at all, and used "The Dragon Will Regret" with one palm to resist his palm power.

With the other palm, he quickly pinched his fingers and secretly used the "Flying Catkins Force".

This is a secret skill recorded in the "Nine Yin Scriptures". It is actually a clever skill that can relieve force. If Guo Jing's Dragon Subduing Palm cannot withstand the palm power of Huang Sixi, the "Flying Catkins Force" will immediately take effect and help Guo Jing deal with Huang Sixi safely.

But Huang Sixi had already mastered the entire Nine Yin Scriptures, and knew better what martial arts Guo Jing knew.

Guo Jing could possibly block Huang Sixi's "Double Dragons Fetching Water" without dying by using the Dragon Subduing Palm and the Nine Yin Scriptures, so Huang Sixi's preemptive killing move was not intended to be used on Guo Jing.

The fact that he was striking Guo Jing with his palm was actually a feint to the east but an attack in the west.

The bald guard saw Huang Sixi and Guo Jing fighting and felt that there was an opportunity, so he used his Vajra Palm power, which had been fully accumulated, to strike Huang Sixi's ribs.

The bald guard thought that Huang Sixi would try to dodge and play it safe since he was being attacked from both sides.

Unexpectedly, when his palm power hit Huang Sixi's side, a ball of green light flashed on Huang Sixi's face. He was secretly using the "Great Shift of the Universe", but the Great Shift of the Universe was not meant to deal with him, but was performed on Guo Jing's palm.

But Huang Sixi gently pushed Guo Jing's palm, and Guo Jing turned uncontrollably and floated away from Huang Sixi.

After Guo Jing was dragged away, Huang Sixi immediately turned sideways, pointed his palms at the bald guard and circled them. The two powerful forces suddenly collided like huge waves, forming a whirlpool, which turbulently hit the bald guard's pair of diamond palms.

The bald guard still encountered wind resistance and his palm power could not advance.

Looking at Huang Sixi at this moment, his right palm suddenly stretched out, like a dragon emerging from the sea, with a rustling sound, and struck the bald guard in the chest.

Before the palm arrived, the palm wind blew up first, as sharp as a blade, instantly cutting through the bald guard's clothes, leaving criss-crossing blood marks on his body.

The bald guard realized that Huang Sixi's palm power was so fierce that his heart began to tremble and his pupils shrank rapidly, as if he was facing a disaster.

He couldn't help but let out a low roar, and pulled both of his palms back together, placing them horizontally across his chest, and then used the Shaolin Temple's unique skill "Eight Divine Palm Strikes".

This move, 'Decomposition Palm', has the same effect as 'Flying Catkins Force', and can also be used to leverage force, but the only difference is the level of martial arts.

Back then, the bald guard secretly learned martial arts in Shaolin Temple. It was because of this move, the 'Decomposition Palm', that he accidentally killed Master Kuzhi, the head monk of Bodhidharma Hall. Afterwards, he had to betray Shaolin Temple.

Counting the time, it was more than 30 years ago. At that time, he was just a fireman in the kitchen of Shaolin Temple. After he killed the abbot of Bodhidharma Hall, he was worried about being hunted down by the monks of Shaolin Temple, so he fled to the Western Regions and founded his own Vajra Sect.

As a master of a school, he had a high opinion of himself and felt that his martial arts skills were not inferior to the four great masters of the Central Plains. This was why he dared to climb the mountain to hunt down Huang Sixi.

His assessment of his own martial arts skills was not wrong, but he seriously underestimated Huang Sixi.

The four great masters of the Central Plains competed with each other, but none of them had the strength to kill the other, but Huang Sixi did.

Huang Sixi used the "Double Dragons Fetching Water" technique with his palm and hit the Fire Master's body.

Because Huogong Toudao used the decomposition palm to protect his chest, his palm was directly shattered, and his internal organs were instantly dislocated and ruptured by the palm.

His body suddenly flew backwards and he collapsed in the snow. With his eyes blurred, he whispered: "Good palm technique, good palm technique, Shaolin martial arts, my skills are inferior to others..."

Before he died, he thought that it was because his Shaolin martial arts skills were not at a high enough level that he lost to Huang Sixi, and that it was not his fault.

Not far away, Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren, who were originally rubbing their hands in anticipation of their fight, saw Huang Sixi kill Huogong Tou Tuo with one palm strike. Their hearts began beating fast and their faces became increasingly solemn. The two men had wanted to take advantage of the gap between Huang Sixi's fierce fight with Guo Jing and Huogong Tou Tuo to launch a sneak attack.

But Huang Sixi killed Huogong Toudao with one palm, leaving Guo Jing as the only opponent left on the scene. Huang Sixi was able to handle the situation calmly.

Since Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren did not know Huogong Toudao, they could not gauge Huogong Toudao's martial arts skills, and naturally they were not sure how powerful Huang Sixi's palm was.

The two men had no intention of leaving for the time being. Moreover, the mountain was surrounded by a large Tatar army, and the danger of breaking out was not much different from facing Huang Sixi head-on.

They decided to continue watching the fight. If Huang Sixi could kill Guo Jing with one blow, they would consider hiding in the mountains and not confronting Huang Sixi head-on. If Guo Jing and Huang Sixi were evenly matched in the fight, it would not be too late for them to take action.

They were not familiar with Huogong Toudao, but Guo Jing understood Huogong Toudao's importance. His martial arts were comparable to his own, and his internal strength was even deeper than his own.

Huang Sixi was able to kill Huogong Toudao with one palm strike, and Guo Jing felt that he would most likely not be able to withstand a few more moves.

But after Huang Sixi killed the Fire Monk, he did not immediately attack him. Instead, he stood still and looked in the direction of Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren.

Huang Sixi discovered that on the mountain road behind Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren, an old man with a white beard was jumping towards the top of the mountain like a naughty monkey.

Back then at the Black Dragon Pond in southern Shanxi, Huang Sixi sent Yinggu to reunite with the Old Boy Zhou Botong. The old man with white beard was the Old Boy, and behind him followed Huang Rong and Yinggu.

The three of them were about to reach the top of the mountain.

If Huang Sixi killed Guo Jing at this time, he would have to fight with the naughty old boy Huang Rong, so he temporarily stopped his attack on Guo Jing.

If he had known that the Old Boy, Huang Rong and the other two were hiding in this mountain for refuge, he would not have let the Divine Condor land.

He was thinking about something.

Guo Jing did not take the initiative to attack him, but looked at Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren.

Guo Jing thought to himself: "This assassin didn't attack me, he must be guarding against Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren's sneak attack! Ouyang Feng killed my five masters, and repeatedly plotted against me and Rong'er in order to snatch the Nine Yin Manual. Qiu Qianren defected to the Jin Kingdom and intended to help the Jin people occupy the two lakes. They are all bad guys. Do I have to fight against the assassin together with these two people?"

He began to hesitate.

Emotionally speaking, Guo Jing is closer to his five masters. If he wants revenge, he should kill Ouyang Feng first and avenge his five masters.

However, Huang Sixi was watching closely, and Guo Jing felt that if he fought with Ouyang Feng, Huang Sixi would definitely kill both of them, and he would never be able to avenge any of his grudges. Rationally, Guo Jing felt that joining forces with Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren was his only chance of survival, but he could not accept joining forces with two big bad guys psychologically.

He couldn't help but look at Huang Sixi, and thought: "The Khan destroyed Khwarezm and conquered Samarkand, but he actually slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in the city. If this assassin is from Khwarezm, then it is natural for him to assassinate the Khan. From the perspective of the people of the Western Regions, this assassin is not a bad person, but a great hero who eliminates violence for the people. Is it right or wrong for me to fight a life-and-death battle with such a great hero?"

But no matter how cruel Temujin's methods were during the war, he still took in his mother and son and raised him to adulthood in the tribe.

He would take revenge when he had a grudge and repay favors when he had a favor. Now Temujin had been killed, his master Jebe who taught him martial arts had been killed, and his childhood sweetheart Hua Zheng had also been killed. How could he just sit back and watch?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He couldn't figure out what was good or evil.

Just as he was struggling, Zhou Botong's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Okay, you two stinky thieves, so you are hiding here!"

Zhou Botong somersaulted in mid-air and appeared on the top of the mountain.

When Guo Jing saw him, he was overjoyed: "Brother Zhou!"

"Ahaha! Brother Guo!"

Zhou Botong jumped to Guo Jing's side and laughed: "You came at the right time. Come on, give me a hand and kill these two thieves together!"

He pointed at Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren, gritting his teeth in hatred. After saying this, he grabbed Guo Jing's arm and urged Guo Jing to take action.

Guo Jing stood still and glanced at Huang Sixi: "This assassin killed the Khan. Once we fight Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren, we won't be able to deal with this assassin!"

Zhou Botong then looked at Huang Sixi and asked curiously, "Hey, it's only been a year since we last met. How come you've grown a beard? You don't look like before! Where's your black eagle? Are you the one who just jumped off its back?"

It was after hearing the black eagle's cry that he concluded that Huang Sixi had landed on the top of the mountain.

Huang Sixi originally sent Yinggu to Heilongtan in southern Shanxi, so that Yinggu could reunite with Zhou Botong. In order to stop Zhou Botong from escaping, Huang Sixi once met with Zhou Botong.

But at that time Huang Sixi was sitting on the back of the Divine Condor, and Zhou Botong only glanced at Huang Sixi from a distance, and his impression of Huang Sixi's appearance was already vague.

However, he knew that Huang Sixi was from the Central Plains, and the current 'Huang Sixi' had all the characteristics of a person from the Western Regions. He felt that he had recognized the wrong person, and then asked about the whereabouts of the Divine Condor.

Ouyang Feng's memory of Huang Sixi's appearance was even more vague. He had never met Huang Sixi up close outside Taiyuan City, and it was dark at the time.

Huang Sixi took advantage of darkness to launch the flying knives, and Ouyang Feng's reaction was not quick enough, and he was hit by the knife, but he recognized Huang Sixi's mount, the Divine Eagle.

When Guo Jing heard Zhou Botong's question, he was shocked: "This...what's going on, Brother Zhou, do you know this assassin?"

Zhou Botong laughed and said, "I met him half a year ago. I have forgotten what he looks like. Maybe I don't recognize him! But..."

He pointed to the back and said unhappily, "Rong'er must know him, and so does Yinggu. They have both ridden on a black eagle, but I haven't! I dream of flying in the sky. I asked Rong'er where he lived so I could borrow the eagle, but Rong'er wouldn't tell me. It's really infuriating!"

That day, Zhou Botong saw Huang Sixi flying on the Divine Eagle. He was very envious and wanted to see Huang Sixi again. Today, he finally had the chance.

He had originally been hiding in the mountains with Huang Rong and Yinggu to avoid Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren. After hearing the eagle's cry and judging that Huang Sixi was on the way, he ran up the mountain first.

Huang Rong and Yinggu were a step slower, but soon reached the top of the mountain.

When Zhou Botong saw them, he quickly asked, "Take a quick look, is he the boy named Huang?"

Yinggu had been traveling with Huang Sixi for many days, and she noticed something was wrong with his appearance, but the Divine Condor was unlikely to abandon its master, so she decided to ask Huang Sixi about his identity.

Before she could open her mouth, Huang Rong asked Guo Jing, "Brother Jing, I just heard you say that the Khan was assassinated?"

When Yinggu heard this, she couldn't help but look back at the Mongolian army at the foot of the mountain. She guessed that Huang Sixi might have changed his appearance, so she immediately gave up the idea of asking about Huang Sixi's identity.

Guo Jing replied: "This assassin not only killed the Khan, but also Master Zhebie and Sister Huazheng, as well as the third prince Ogedei. Dozens of civil officials and military commanders were killed by him!"

Huang Rong remained calm, as if she was not surprised that the assassin could kill so many Mongolian nobles in one breath.

She then asked Guo Jing: "Why did you come up the mountain?"

"Ah? It must be to capture the assassin!" Guo Jing didn't understand what Huang Rong meant and was very confused.

"When I came to the Tartar military camp to look for you, I asked you to return to the Central Plains with me. You said that Wanyan Honglie was hiding in Khwarezm and that we must kill Wanyan Honglie and avenge our father before we can leave! Have you killed Wanyan Honglie now?"

"Already killed!"

"Well then!" Huang Rong grabbed Guo Jing and turned around: "Since you have avenged your father, let's return to the Central Plains immediately!"

Guo Jing disagreed, but he didn't want to break his agreement with Huang Rong, so he just blushed and stammered, "Rong... Rong'er, Khan..."

Huang Rong interrupted him: "The Khan led his troops into Khwarezm, how many cities were destroyed, how many civilians were slaughtered? Don't you know how brutal these Tartars are? They are about to destroy the Jin Dynasty. Once they lead their troops south, do you still plan to help them slaughter the Song Dynasty?"

Guo Jing suddenly said seriously, "I absolutely won't! When justice is at hand, personal relationships are secondary! If the Khan really wants to lead his troops to invade the south, not only will I not help, I will stop him!"

Huang Rong immediately pointed at Huang Sixi and said, "This assassin is trying to stop the Tartars from invading other countries' territories, but you are hunting him down. Is this justice?"

After a pause, she asked again: "Or, are you determined to kill this assassin in order to avenge Hua Zheng?"

Guo Jing held her hand tightly and answered her sincerely: "You are the only one in my heart forever. Actually, I just couldn't figure out whether what I did was right or not! Now that I have heard what you said, I finally understand! I helped the Khan to capture Samarkand City. Although it was for the purpose of hunting down Wanyan Honglie, it also led to the massacre of hundreds of thousands of people in the city. I am sorry for them! I can't interfere in the affairs here anymore. I am afraid that I will make the same mistake again! Rong'er, I will return to the Central Plains with you now!"

Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren saw Zhou Botong climbing the mountain and had originally planned to slip away. However, after hearing the conversation between Guo Jing and Huang Rong, they suddenly stopped and blocked the way of Guo Jing and Huang Rong side by side.

Ouyang Feng smiled slightly: "After chasing him for so long, can you just leave when you say so?"

Qiu Qianren clasped his fists towards Huang Sixi again and said, "My dear hero, the Tartars are brutal and ruthless, and everyone has the right to kill them. I hate those who surrender to the Tartars and help them to commit atrocities the most. I am willing to accompany you to eradicate evil and eliminate traitors!"

The two men had not fought with Huang Sixi before. They were lurking in the rear just to prepare for action. They had not said who they were going to deal with. Now they could change sides.

If Huang Sixi had the idea of silencing the assassin in order to conceal his identity and prevent the Tartars from knowing his origins, then Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren would be able to take advantage of the situation.
