Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 214 Sword Discussing in Huashan
main hall.

Huang Sixi took the poison bead handed to him by the Indian monk and looked at it.

This bead is also made of colored glaze, and looks similar to pearls. Inside the bead is a mixture of the poison 'Ten Fragrance Softening Powder' and gunpowder.

Huang Sixi raised his arm and threw the poisonous bead several feet away.

The poison bead exploded immediately after it hit the ground, and a cloud of dark brown smoke rose up from its place.

Huang Sixi observed the range of the thick smoke. It was about as high as a person in the air. The poisonous smoke spread over an area of several feet around it, and could only cover three to five people at most.

Seeing this, he shook his head slightly, feeling dissatisfied with the power of the poison bead.

He commissioned a divine monk from India to make a poison bead, with the aim of obtaining a hidden weapon that could kill a large number of Tatar soldiers. However, the lethality of the poison bead in front of him was really limited.

He asked the Indian monk, "Can the area affected by the poisonous smoke be expanded a little bit?"

"How much does Mr. Huang want to expand?"

"It should be at least double the size it is now!"

"Then we must increase the capacity of the poison beads!"

Today's poison beads are only the size of pearls and are very convenient to carry. Even if Huang Sixi carries twenty or thirty poison beads on his body, they will not take up much space.

If he follows the Indian monk's method to increase the capacity and make the poison bead the size of a walnut, it will be very inconvenient for Huang Sixi to carry it.

And there was a problem that could not be solved. The Indian monk said, "The bigger the poison bead is, the more brittle the colored glaze on the surface will be. A slight bump may cause the poison bead to break. Even if I can make it, I'm afraid it will be useless!"

Finally, he advised Huang Sixi: "Mr. Huang, instead of taking the trouble to make this poison bead, it would be better for you to put your mind into making hidden weapons like flying needles!"

The Indian monk thought that as long as the flying needle hit the target, it would definitely cause trauma, but after the poison bead exploded into poisonous smoke, if the target deliberately held his breath and prevented the poisonous smoke from entering the body, he could still ensure his combat effectiveness.

However, the Indian monk did not know that Huang Sixi had only entrusted him to make the poison bead. Naturally, Huang Sixi had the final say on what kind of poison to use in the bead.

In future actual combat, Huang Sixi will definitely replace the "Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder" in the poison bead with other deadly poisons that can seal the throat without drawing blood. As long as the target is covered by the poisonous smoke, the poisonous smoke can penetrate into the skin regardless of whether the target is breathing or not, and the target will die in an instant.

Seeing that there was no room for improvement in the poison bead, Huang Sixi asked the Indian monk for the drawings and formula for making the poison bead.

The Indian monk asked him if he needed any other help, and he replied no.

After hearing this, the Indian monk said goodbye to him: "I have been delayed in the Western Regions for several months. I can't delay any longer. I am ready to leave for Dali immediately. Mr. Huang, do you want to go back with me?"

Huang Sixi said: "I can't go back for the time being, Master, you can go on your own!"

He thought of going to Dali to visit Master Yideng in the future and try to enlighten the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.

He added: "When you return to Dali and meet Master Yideng, please give my regards to Master Yideng. I have heard of his compassionate name for a long time. As long as I return to China, I will definitely visit him and listen to his lectures on Buddhist scriptures!"

The Indian monk knew that Huang Sixi was keen on opening ceremonies and attached great importance to Buddhist rituals, so he did not doubt Huang Sixi's words and said with a smile: "I will definitely pass on my message. I also look forward to meeting Mr. Huang again!"

After saying this, the Indian monk raised his palm and walked away, returning to the meditation room to pack his bags.

The next day, the Indian monk left the temple and set out on the journey back to China.

Huang Sixi saw the Indian monk off for more than ten miles, then took a detour to the nearby mountains and returned to the cliff cave where he practiced martial arts every day to reunite with the Divine Eagle.

According to the drawings and formulas provided by the Indian monk, he built a furnace for refining glass and made the poison beads by himself.

In the past six months, the Divine Eagle has been going out every night to look for food and has captured countless poisonous creatures. Whenever it encounters a strange and poisonous beast, Huang Sixi will instruct the Divine Eagle to preserve the poisonous corpse.

These poisonous corpses finally found a use. Huang Sixi dug out a batch of snake, centipede, spider and scorpion corpses from the snow on the top of the mountain and collected their venom to prepare highly poisonous dust.

He used up all the poison powder and eventually made twenty or thirty poison beads.

Since the poisonous smoke spread out after the poison beads exploded has a limited range, these poison beads can never kill many Tatar soldiers. However, this is Huang Sixi's attempt at a new type of hidden weapon, and he must eventually verify it on the battlefield.

Next, he recast hundreds of jade bee needles.

By the time all the hidden weapons were ready, the Mongolian Tartars were almost approaching the 'Eagle's Nest'.

Counting the time, Huang Sixi has been staying in the temple for nearly a year, and it is finally time for him to leave.

He bid farewell to the monks in the temple and flew to the "Eagle's Nest" Alamut Fortress on the divine eagle.

The castle was built on the top of a mountain, surrounded by many barren mountains. Huang Sixi chose a secluded place to land and waited there for more than half a month. The Mongolian Tartars besieged him with murderous intent.

Although castles are easy to defend but difficult to attack, the Mongolian army had tens of thousands of craftsmen accompanying them throughout their conquests. These craftsmen were good at making siege weapons, especially catapults.

The Mongolian army bombarded the castle with hundreds of catapults and opened a gap in a few days.

When the people in the "Eagle's Nest" saw that the castle was breached, they immediately launched a breakout. Thousands of them evacuated from the rear of the castle and fled westward along the mountain road.

But the Mongolian Tartars had already predicted their retreat route and sent a detachment to ambush in the rear, waiting for them to pass by and suddenly attack them, preparing to completely annihilate them.

At this moment, Huang Sixi appeared riding on the Divine Condor.

When the Mongolian Tartars saw the Divine Condor, they were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, because more than half a year ago, the Mongolian prince had issued an imperial decree that anyone who found the Divine Condor would be rewarded handsomely, and anyone who killed the Divine Condor would be immediately granted a title of nobility and appointed as a general.

The group of Tartars immediately let go of everyone in the Eagle's Nest and began to besiege the Divine Condor.

Huang Sixi fought with this group of Tartars for a while and found that the people from the Eagle's Nest had already retreated far away. He decided not to fight with them and signaled the Divine Eagle to follow the people from the Eagle's Nest.

They were said to be following, but in fact they were protecting everyone in the Eagle's Nest so that they could safely retreat into the Byzantine Empire in the west.

As the mountain road was rugged, Huang Sixi and his eagle were the only ones guarding the rear, and they could completely stop the Tartars from pursuing them.

In just over ten days, thousands of people from the Eagle's Nest successfully entered the Byzantine Empire.

Along the way, Huang Sixi was always in the rear, keeping a distance from the people in the Eagle's Nest. After arriving at the Byzantine border, Huang Sixi began to ride on the Divine Eagle, hovering over the heads of the people in the Eagle's Nest.

At this moment, seeing Huang Sixi face to face, everyone in the Eagle's Nest couldn't help but shout, "Are you the one who assassinated the Tatar emperor?"

The story of Huang Sixi riding an eagle and stabbing Temujin to death had long spread throughout the Western Regions. Everyone knew the reputation of the Eagle Assassin, but had never seen the real Eagle.

Until today, everyone in the Eagle's Nest finally witnessed the true face of the Condor Assassin.

But most of them were not grateful to Huang Sixi. Instead, their tone was filled with anger: "You stabbed the Tatar emperor to death and ignited the greatest anger in the world. Those barbarians couldn't find you, so they vented all their anger on us and slaughtered our comrades everywhere. Although you saved us, don't even think about winning our gratitude!"

They blamed Huang Sixi for the destruction of "Eagle's Nest".

Huang Sixi shouted at them with an expressionless face: "Even if I didn't assassinate the Tatar emperor, those barbarians would not destroy your 'Eagle's Nest' and massacre your fellow soldiers?" Before Huang Sixi assassinated Temujin, the war in the Western Regions had already begun. It was well known that Temujin invaded Khwarezm from the northern desert, burning, killing, looting and leaving corpses all the way. He even wanted to massacre hundreds of thousands of people in Samarkand.

So no matter whether Temujin is dead or alive, and whether Huang Sixi diverts the trouble to the west, the Mongolian Tartars will still massacre the "Eagle's Nest" and continue to kill and burn people everywhere.

Everyone in the 'Eagle's Nest' was speechless. They knew that Huang Sixi was protecting them. If they accused him too much and Huang Sixi quit, they would be the ones who would suffer in the end.

They did not continue to argue with Huang Sixi, and accompanied by the Divine Eagle, they traveled hundreds of miles into the territory of the Byzantine Empire.

As expected, the Mongolian Tartars also came in large numbers to chase and kill them.

When the people in the Eagle's Nest learned that the Byzantine Empire had sent a knight group of tens of thousands of people to snipe the invading Mongol Tatars, they all gloated over their misfortune: "Let the Tatars and the pagans fight each other! If both sides are defeated and all die in battle, that would be the best outcome given by the true God!"

The Byzantine Empire and the Crusaders shared the same faith and were considered pagans by the people of the Eagle's Nest.

When the Crusaders invaded eastwards, they also behaved like barbarians, burning, killing and looting no less than the Mongolian Tartars, and were deeply hated by everyone in the Eagle's Nest.

Therefore, after the Byzantine Empire and the Mongol Tartars went to war, the people of the "Eagle's Nest" did not favor either side. No matter whether the Crusaders or the Mongol Tartars were bloodthirsty devils, they wished that both groups of devils would die completely.

Unfortunately, the result of this battle surprised everyone in the Eagle's Nest.

The Mongol Tatars seemed to be natural war machines. They advanced with unstoppable force and crushed the Knights of the Byzantine Empire.

Afterwards, the Mongolian Tartars marched straight in and captured the Byzantine capital Constantinople. After looting all the treasures of Constantinople, they set fire to it, burning the thousand-year-old city to ashes.

The Mongol Tatars crossed the flames of Constantinople and continued to hunt down the descendants of the Byzantine Empire's nobles, all the way to the plains of Europe.

It seemed that the Mongolian Tartars were about to wipe out the descendants of the Byzantines.

At this time, Huang Sixi, riding on the Divine Eagle, appeared again at the right time to rescue the descendants of the Byzantine nobles from danger and escort them into the European plains along the way.

After the Mongolian Tartars discovered the trace of the Divine Condor, they immediately marched westward to hunt down the Divine Condor. No matter what the cost, they were determined to avenge Temujin.

The higher Temujin's prestige was in the hearts of the Mongolian Tartars, the stronger their determination was to hunt down the Divine Condor and Huang Sixi.

In this way, the Mongolian Tatars began a protracted war on the plains of Europe.

The campaign lasted for three years.

Huang Sixi also stayed in the European plains for three years. He always instigated fighting between the Mongolian Tartars and the Crusaders at the right time, constantly depleting the Tartars' military strength.

Three years later, the European plains had become a ruin after repeated attacks by the Mongol Tatars.

But the elite cavalry of the Mongol Tatars had been completely lost and drowned in the battlefield on the European plains.

At this time, the threat posed by the Mongolian Tartars to the Central Plains had been completely eliminated.

Huang Sixi's mission had been completely completed. Before leaving, he flew around the European plains on the Divine Eagle.

Seeing the smoke and the ruins everywhere, he thought, "If I don't do this and let the Mongolian Tartars return to Mobei, the Central Plains will have to face the Tartars' war and slaughter for decades to come. It's better to let the people here perish with the Tartars than to let the people of the Central Plains resist the Tartars' army!"

Ever since Temujin rose to power in the northern desert, he has been killing people and burning things, attacking cities and seizing land everywhere. The Mongolian Tartars under his command have become addicted to slaughter and are like inhumane murderers.

If Huang Sixi was merciful and allowed these Tartars to return to Mobei, they would definitely go south to the Central Plains without getting tired of it.

If Huang Sixi does not eliminate this group of Tartars, the result will be a repeat of the mistakes of the bloody Jianghu.

When he was in The Legend of Zu, he had clearly killed all the noble leaders of the Eight Banners Tatars, but the Tatars eventually took control of the Central Plains.

Huang Sixi will not make the same mistake again this time. As the saying goes, eradicate all evil. Since he has assassinated Temujin, he will take responsibility for the matter to the end and will never allow the Tartars to rise again.

"Brother Eagle, we can go home now!"

Huang Sixi signaled to the divine eagle to carry him and fly eastward.

After nearly a month, Huang Sixi finally arrived in the heart of Middle-earth.

That day he landed in Huayin County in Shaanxi.

Back then, he caused a big disturbance in Shengjing in the Bloody Jianghu, and then he hid in the grassland for several months with Tie Luohan. After returning to the Middle-earth, he went directly to Shaanxi and went to Huashan to look for the Golden Snake Sword. At that time, he and Tie Luohan settled in Huayin County.

Huang Sixi recalled the past and it seemed like a dream.

He knew that Huayin County was at the foot of Mount Hua, so he wanted to visit Mount Hua.

As early as when he entered the Middle-earth, he met a group of martial arts figures. From them, he learned that the "Huashan Sword Contest" was to be held again, so he came here specially.

In the original history of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes, there was a gap of twenty-five years between the first and second Huashan Sword Contests, and a gap of thirty-five years between the second and third Huashan Sword Contests. According to this, the years of the Huashan Sword Contests were not fixed, and the specific time of holding it depended mainly on the wishes of those top masters.

Huang Sixi arrived in the county town and found an inn to stay in.

When the day of the "Huashan Sword Contest" arrived, Huang Sixi left the inn on time and headed for Huashan.

As a result, he just arrived at the foot of Huashan Mountain when he suddenly met an acquaintance who shouted to him, "Haha, my friend really showed up!"

Huang Sixi turned his head and saw an old man in green robe walking out from the dense forest beside him. Who else could it be but the 'Eastern Evil' Huang Yaoshi?

Huang Sixi asked: "What do you mean, Senior Huang? Are you waiting for me here?"

"Of course, I have been looking for you for more than three years!" Huang Yaoshi explained with a smile:

"Three years ago, Rong'er was taken care of by you and was able to return to Peach Blossom Island safely. I have always wanted to see you again, but you are far away in the Western Regions, and I don't know whether you have returned to the Middle Earth. I have been unable to find any trace of you!"

During these three years, Huang Sixi had been staying in the Western Regions. Since the European plains where he was located were too far away from Middle-earth, no news could reach Middle-earth at all.

Therefore, to the people of Middle-earth, Huang Sixi was as good as missing, completely vanishing without a trace.

Huang Yaoshi hopes to meet Huang Sixi again to thank him for taking care of Huang Rong. However, no matter how long he waits, there is still no news of Huang Sixi in the Middle-earth martial arts world.

Huang Yaoshi proposed to hold a second "Huashan Sword Contest". He thought that Huang Sixi was a martial arts master and would not refuse such a grand event. As long as Huang Sixi was in Central Plains, he would be able to attend the meeting.

As expected, Huang Sixi really rushed to Huashan.

After Huang Yaoshi finished explaining the whole story, Huang Sixi immediately bowed to Huang Yaoshi and said, "It is said that thirty years ago, Master Chongyang defeated all the heroes and won the reputation of being the best in the world. I also plan to follow the example of the predecessor and compete with the heroes in the world!"

Huang Yaoshi immediately stretched out his arms and said, "Seventh brother has already reached the top of the mountain, accompanied by my daughter. Master Chongyang's junior brother Zhou Botong is also present. Even Master Yideng from Dali has been invited to Mount Hua by me. My friend, please go up the mountain now! The masters of our Central Plains martial arts world have gathered here, and we are just waiting for you to reach the top to chat!"

Huang Sixi was very surprised: "Is Master Yideng here too?"
