Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 216 No. in the world
When Yinggu saw Zhou Botong fall, although she was concerned, she did not go forward to help him.

After all, this is a fair martial arts competition. As long as the two parties do not voluntarily stop it, no one else can interfere.

Besides, Yinggu also believed that Huang Sixi would not hurt Zhou Botong. Even if he was injured by mistake, she would let Zhou Botong suffer alive.

Three years ago on the snowy peaks of the Western Regions, Huang Rong revealed to Yinggu that the real culprit who injured her son was the Iron Palm Gang leader Qiu Qianren.

At that time, Qiu Qianren had already been killed by Huang Sixi. Yinggu hated Qiu Qianren very much, but was naturally grateful to Huang Sixi for avenging her son.

She had always wanted to repay Huang Sixi's kindness, but she had no chance, so she didn't care whether Zhou Botong was injured or not.

Zhou Botong stood up with a somersault and shook his head like a rattle: "Brother Huang, your defensive moves are too powerful. Even if I use all my strength, I can't hit you. There is no hope of beating you!"

He suddenly hooked his finger at Huang Sixi again: "How about this, I'll defend now and you attack, let's see if I can lose to you!"

Just because he couldn't beat Huang Sixi didn't mean he would definitely lose, because there was a possibility that he could tie with Huang Sixi, so he let Huang Sixi launch the offensive.

He would only accept defeat sincerely if Huang Sixi's attack could break his defense.

Huang Sixi said, "I have no problem attacking, but you have to be prepared to get injured. You may not be able to get out of bed for several months."

"what!"

Zhou Botong couldn't help but shudder. He trotted over to Huang Sixi, put his ear close to him, and asked, "Brother Huang, you defeated Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren in no time that day. What martial arts did you use? Even the Nine Yin Manual doesn't have such a strong power!"

After he, Yinggu, Huang Rong and Guo Jing returned to the Central Plains from the Western Regions, they did not mention a word about the Battle of Snow Peak. The four of them knew that the matter was of great importance, so in order to prevent Huang Sixi's identity from being exposed, the four of them kept the secret collectively.

Even though Zhou Botong had the temperament of a naughty boy, he kept his mouth shut.

However, Huang Sixi had been in the Western Regions for three years and had completely solved the Tartar military threat. Even if his experience of assassinating Temujin was spread to the world now, it would no longer be relevant to the overall situation. Revealing the cause of death of Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren would naturally have nothing to do with it.

Huang Sixi didn't hide anything and said with a smile: "I used several martial arts. Which one do you want to know?"

Zhou Botong rolled his eyes and said, "I want to know how you intercepted them. The old poisonous creature and Qiu Chouzhi are both masters of Qinggong. Even if your punches are strong, if they deliberately use Qinggong to dodge, they can at least waste a few hours with you. How did you cut through the Gordian knot and beat them like stray dogs?"

He really couldn't figure it out.

Huang Sixi drew out the Dragon Subduing Sword with a "swish!" sound: "I am using sword skills to intercept, old naughty boy, you can use the Kongming Fist to hit me again!"

"Look at the fist!"

Zhou Botong swung his fist and attacked, but the Dragon Subduing Sword shook and formed a sword flower, stabbing his fist several times. He suddenly felt his fist power dissipate, and he quickly retracted his fist in fear.

Huang Sixi obviously did not use his full sword strength. If he had used all his strength, he would probably be able to pierce through his fists with his sword.

Huang Sixi saw him withdraw his fists and retreat, but he did not put away his sword. Instead, he rushed forward and said, "Use your "Two-handed Fighting Technique" again. I have another sword move. I used this move to restrain Qiu Qianren's light skill!"

Huang Rong, Guo Jing and Yinggu personally witnessed the Battle of Snow Peak, so they were not surprised by Huang Sixi's words.

Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong, who were watching the fight, were greatly surprised and looked incredulous, but Huang Sixi and Zhou Botong were sparring at the moment and it was inconvenient for them to inquire.

As Huang Sixi was speaking, the tip of his sword had already pierced in front of Zhou Botong.

It was too late for Zhou Botong to dodge, and he hurriedly practiced the "Double-Handed Fighting Technique" to try to resist the sword attack. He only felt the sword wind from the Dragon Subduing Sword whistling and hitting dozens of vital points on his chest like scattered flowers.

Huang Sixi's internal strength is profound, so he doesn't need to strike the enemy with the Dragon Subduing Sword. The wind from the sword alone is enough to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Zhou Botong knew that the sword wind was extremely powerful, so he instantly gathered all his internal strength to firmly protect the acupuncture points on his chest.

Unexpectedly, Huang Sixi's swordsmanship was extremely strange. The wind from the sword hit Zhou Botong's chest, and dozens of acupoints were attacked at the same time. However, it was not the common acupoint-pressing technique. Instead, it directly hit Zhou Botong's whole body of true Qi. The force of the sword wind rushed into his body, and he found that the true Qi in his body was suddenly disordered, and there were signs of it being out of control.

Huang Sixi's sword move is the strongest skill of "Nine Swords of Dugu", the 'Qi Breaking Style'.

Zhou Botong suddenly fled backwards like a cat whose tail was stepped on. When he retreated more than ten feet away, he still seemed to be frightened. Huang Sixi's move just now made him deeply feel the threat of death. Huang Sixi really had the ability to kill him with one blow.

Zhou Botong patted his chest urgently, took a few deep breaths, then gave Huang Sixi a thumbs up and praised him sincerely: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang, you are definitely the best in the world today. Even if my senior brother Chongyang Zhenren was resurrected, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to defeat you!"

Huang Rong, Guo Jing and Yinggu all nodded, and the three of them agreed with Zhou Botong's judgment.

Master Yideng no longer had any desire to fight. He always had a smile on his face and watched everyone's competition indifferently.

Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong looked doubtful. They did not agree with Zhou Botong's assertion. They had fought with Huang Sixi before on the banks of the Yangtze River. Perhaps Huang Sixi's palm power was slightly stronger than theirs, but they were skeptical that Huang Sixi could defeat Wang Chongyang.

Zhou Botong was not in the mood to explain to them, and asked Huang Sixi again: "I checked the bodies of Old Poison and Qiu Chouzei at Xuefeng that day. They were all killed by a single palm strike. What kind of palm strike did you use, Brother Huang?"

Huang Sixi smiled and said, "I used the 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms'!"

Zhou Botong was greatly surprised: "Impossible! I have seen the old beggar's 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms' before, and it is totally different from what you are using!"

Huang Sixi said, "The original method of the 'Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing' that I practiced actually only has more than ten palms. I still haven't learned a few palms, so I deduced a few palms on my own. These palms are my own creations, so you naturally haven't seen them before!"

Without waiting for Zhou Botong to respond.

Hong Qigong suddenly stood up, stepped into the ring, and said to Huang Sixi: "Young Master Huang, your 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms' was also created by yourself? I thought you inherited it from the lineage of Chief Qiao during the reign of Emperor Zhezong!"

When Hong Qigong first met Huang Sixi along the Yangtze River, he was certain that Huang Sixi had a connection with the former leader of the Beggars' Sect.

As the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Hong Qigong knows the history of the sect like the back of his hand. Except for the first leader Qiao Feng who left the Central Plains for some reason a hundred years ago and went to the Liao Dynasty with the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing", all other leaders in the past hundred years have strictly followed the sect rules and passed on their martial arts.

Hong Qigong was certain that if Huang Sixi had practiced the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms", it could only be inherited from Qiao Feng's lineage. However, Huang Sixi's palm technique was also his own creation, which was beyond Hong Qigong's expectations.

Huang Sixi saw Hong Qigong stepping onto the stage and asked, "Boss Hong, do you want to spar with me too?"

Hong Qigong smiled and said, "This old beggar really wants to see Young Master Huang's self-created Dragon Subduing Palm. Young Master Huang, please teach me!"

He was actually a little disappointed. Since the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" was passed down from Qiao Feng's generation, the skills had become gradually incomplete. When he inherited this martial art, only the key points of fifteen palms were left.

He practiced the original fifteen palms, and then created three palms of his own to complete this martial art.

But he always believed that the three palms he completed were not as powerful as the original ones.

He also felt that Huang Sixi's self-created palm technique was not as good as the original one.

Huang Sixi listened to his words, but did not respond. Instead, he looked at Zhou Botong and said, "We have finished our competition. Do you want me to call Brother Eagle down?"

Zhou Botong laughed: "You fight with the old beggar first. After I see the old beggar get beaten, it won't be too late to ride the eagle!"

Huang Sixi couldn't help but smile, he liked Zhou Botong's talk.

He immediately reached for his waist, pinched out a round glass bead, and threw it towards the cliff. With a "pop!" sound, the round glass bead exploded in mid-air, and then spread out a ball of green and red mist.

The thick fog was blown by the mountain wind, spreading over an area of several feet in radius, forming a striking large circle.

After a while, the Divine Eagle looked down at the ring from the sky, flew down, and landed next to Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi gave the Divine Eagle a few words of instruction, and the Divine Eagle walked to Zhou Botong's side and crouched down again.

Zhou Botong felt flattered. He suddenly bent his knees, knelt in front of the Divine Eagle, and bowed his head: "Good Brother Eagle, good Brother Eagle, you are my elder brother, and I am your younger brother. Today we will become sworn brothers! You are the elder and I am the younger. Once you are the elder brother, you will be the elder brother forever. Little brother Zhou Botong greets Big Brother Eagle!"

The Divine Eagle had never seen anyone as pure-hearted as Zhou Botong before. He kowtowed to him the first time they met. The Divine Eagle thought that Zhou Botong was a good younger brother, so he stretched out his left wing, lifted Zhou Botong up, and then nodded his head towards Zhou Botong, which was considered as accepting this younger brother. The people around were dumbfounded and shocked to see that the Divine Eagle was so humane.

Zhou Botong was even more delighted, and shouted to Yinggu: "Yinggu, look, Brother Eagle can understand what I say!"

Yinggu forced a smile but did not dare to approach the Divine Eagle.

When she went to Huang Sixi to borrow the eagle, she knew that the eagle was human-like. Because of her rude tone, the eagle threw her off its back. She was so angry that she plucked a feather from the eagle. Even now, she is still afraid that the eagle will hold a grudge against her.

Zhou Botong was careless and did not notice the strange look on Yinggu's face. He just rode on the eagle's back. He originally wanted to watch Hong Qigong get beaten, but he really wanted to fly on the eagle. After much hesitation, he chose to fly away from the top of the mountain.

Huang Sixi saw the Divine Eagle carrying Zhou Botong away.

He turned his gaze back and said to Hong Qigong, "Boss Hong, it's meaningless to just spar with each other. Why don't we have a bet? Just now Zhou Botong took out a mandarin duck brocade handkerchief as a bet. Boss Hong, please take out one too!"

Since it is a gambling fight, both parties should put out a stake.

Huang Sixi reached for his waist and pulled out a black iron short sword, and placed it on the boulder where Zhou Botong and Yinggu had just stood. "This sword is made of black iron, and it can cut iron like mud. I'll use this sword as a stake!"

Seeing that Huang Sixi only wanted to bet with items and did not require any martial arts, Hong Qigong readily agreed. He took off the vermilion lacquered wine gourd on his back and placed it next to the iron sword: "Young Master Huang, this gourd contains rare wine. It should be able to serve as gambling money!"

Huang Sixi saw the gourd pattern flashing on the gourd and nodded immediately: "Okay!"

Then he spread out his palms, slightly bent his left leg, bent his right arm inward, drew a circle, and made a complete "Kang Long You Hui" palm gesture.

Hong Qigong also started with "The Dragon in the Sky Will Regret": "The dragon is defeated against the dragon, that's how it should be!"

When Hong Qigong and Huang Sixi were fighting on the banks of the Yangtze River, he had just been ambushed by Ouyang Feng and his strength had been greatly reduced.

However, Hong Qigong met Guo Jing again during the battle at Yanyu Tower. At that time, Guo Jing obtained the Sanskrit outline of "Nine Yin Scriptures" from Master Yideng. After translating it, he obtained a superior internal skill for healing.

Guo Jing passed the internal power of "Nine Yin Scriptures" to Hong Qigong, and then Hong Qigong went to Peach Blossom Island to recuperate. After half a year, his internal injuries were healed. After another half a year, his supernatural powers were fully restored. Now Hong Qigong's internal strength has even improved. Compared with the sick body when he first met Huang Sixi, it is certainly incomparable.

Master Yideng also practiced the Sanskrit outline of the Nine Yin Scriptures. He used to use the "One Yang Finger" to heal people, and it took at least five years of training to recover. Now, he can recover as before after a few months.

Before the battle at Misty Rain Tower, Master Yideng used the "One Finger" to heal Huang Rong's injuries. It was less than five years ago, but Master Yideng recovered long ago. His skills are now at the same peak as Hong Qigong's.

After a while, Huang Sixi and Hong Qigong started fighting.

Both of them used the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" to attack, one palm after another.

When the first palm strike of 'Kang Long You Hui' collided, Hong Qigong's internal organs were shaken violently. Just as he was marveling at the powerful palm force of Huang Sixi, Huang Sixi's second palm strike had already been launched.

Before the two of them collided, Huang Sixi's palm wind blew towards Hong Qigong first. The palm wind brushed on his face, like a knife cutting. Hong Qigong not only felt discomfort outside his body, but also had difficulty breathing in his heart.

When it came to the third palm strike, Hong Qigong and Huang Sixi raised their palms and collided with each other.

Huang Sixi seemed to be doing it with ease.

However, Hong Qigong felt his right arm getting numb and sore, and the circulation of his internal energy became extremely uncomfortable. He was shocked that Huang Sixi was able to suppress his internal energy with just the palm wind.

With each subsequent palm strike, Hong Qigong's palm power would be weakened, but Huang Sixi became stronger and stronger.

If the fight continued like this, Hong Qigong felt that he would not be able to finish the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" and would be seriously injured by Huang Sixi.

The more Hong Qigong continued to fight, the more frightened he felt. Huang Sixi was like a mountain. Even if Hong Qigong used all his magical powers, he could not climb over it. But Huang Sixi could make the mountain fall down at any time and kill Hong Qigong with one blow.

Only then did Hong Qigong remember Zhou Botong's previous assertion that Huang Sixi was the number one person in the world today, and even if Master Chongyang were to be resurrected, it would be difficult for him to defeat him.

But Hong Qigong had a strong temper. After he and Huang Sixi had exchanged several palm strikes, he was gradually becoming exhausted. However, he gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat even though he was injured by Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi suddenly stopped his attack upon seeing this and said to him, "Boss Hong, with your palm power, I'm afraid you won't be able to last until I finish performing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. You might as well call for an assistant, otherwise you won't be able to see my original palm technique!"

Hong Qigong felt that his dignity was offended. How could he, a great master, need help?
Before Hong Qigong could express his opinion, Guo Jing jumped onto the stage and said to him, "Master, Brother Huang's palm technique is invincible. Back then on the snowy peak, I saw him kill someone with one palm strike..."

He wanted to tell the story of what he had seen and heard when Huang Sixi killed the fire-making monk, but he was afraid of exposing Huang Sixi's identity, so he kept silent and said, "Master, you can never beat Brother Huang alone. Even if we join forces, we may not be able to beat him. But today we are meeting friends to spar, and Brother Huang will not use heavy hands. We can barely fight Brother Huang together. Master, don't continue to fight alone."

Guo Jing is a simple-minded person and he says whatever he thinks.

Pooh!
How can there be any sense in boosting others' morale and destroying one's own prestige if there's no fight at all?
Hong Qigong swept his sleeves and left the ring angrily: "No more fighting, old beggar is inferior to others, so he will lose the wine gourd to Huang Shaoxia!"

In fact, he was not angry in his heart, because he also felt that Huang Sixi's palm power was difficult to resist, and he didn't know how to end it. Guo Jing just gave him a way out.

When Guo Jing saw Hong Qigong step down, he couldn't help but touch his forehead, wondering why his master was angry. He hurried to Hong Qigong to apologize, but was pushed away by Hong Qigong.

When he returned to Huang Rong, he turned around and asked Huang Rong: "Rong'er, did I do something wrong?"

Huang Rong smiled and said, "That's absolutely right! If you don't get the Seventh Prince off the stage, he will definitely be injured by the Fourth Brother!"

After saying this, his smile faded, and he showed his worry again, thinking: "Daddy must be just like Qigong, doubting that Fourth Brother's martial arts surpassed that of Master Chongyang. When Daddy and Fourth Brother spar later, don't let them get hurt!"

At this moment, Huang Sixi had already finished his sparring with Zhou Botong and Hong Qigong.

The next one was Huang Yaoshi. He smiled gently, raised the emerald jade flute in his hand, and threw it, which landed next to Hong Qigong's vermilion lacquer gourd. "My friend, I'll use this jade flute as a stake!"

Huang Sixi was very satisfied when he saw the flute patterns on the jade flute.

But he also had a question in his mind: "Senior Huang, last time you asked me to find Huang Shimei, the token you gave me was an iron flute. Is the flute you usually use made of iron or jade?"

Huang Yaoshi smiled and said, "I love to play the jade flute, but when I was at sea, I was deceived and told that Rong'er had died in the sea. I was so angry that I broke the jade flute. Since I had no other flute to use, I brought the iron flute as a backup. When I met you, I only had the iron flute, so I entrusted it to you! This jade flute was newly made by me in recent years and I have never played it once. If you win this flute, I am willing to give you a copy of the score and mental method of "The Rising Tide of the Blue Sea"!"

Huang Sixi had inherited the "Song of the Rising Tide in the Blue Sea" from the Dog Beating Stick as early as in The Smiling Proud Wanderer, but he would not refuse Huang Yaoshi's kindness.

He then stretched out his middle finger and thumb, pinched them together, and said to Huang Yaoshi: "In this martial arts competition, I will use my finger magic to spar with Senior Huang. Let's stop when we're done!"

Huang Yaoshi was confused and thought, "The Finger-snapping Magical Skill is a martial art that I created myself. I only taught it to Rong'er. Could it be that Rong'er passed it on to others?"

Huang Rong was also puzzled. She had never taught her finger-snapping magic to anyone else, and thought it must have been taught by her father.

The father and daughter each had their own thoughts, but they didn't express them out loud.

Huang Yaoshi immediately made a finger-pinching gesture and confronted Huang Sixi without saying a word.

The two were originally only a few feet apart, but as they each used their finger magic to release powerful energy, you pointed here, I pointed there, and their bodies gradually moved further and further apart.

After a while, the two were already more than ten feet apart, and each used his entire life's skills to attack each other from a distance.

Everyone saw Huang Sixi firing dozens of bolts of energy without changing his expression. Then they looked at Huang Yaoshi, and saw white mist above his head, which gradually gathered and thickened, like a steamer. It was obvious that he was over-exerting his internal energy and was already showing signs of overdrawing his true energy.

At this moment, Huang Sixi suddenly retreated, and moved two feet away from Huang Yaoshi. With a "whoosh!" sound, a stream of energy was ejected, and it rushed straight to Huang Yaoshi's face, still with lethal force.

Huang Yaoshi's energetic energy could not be emitted so far. He could not hit Huang Sixi from a distance. Even if he tried hard, his energetic energy could not hurt Huang Sixi at all.

He could only retreat and dodge, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I am convinced of my defeat. Mr. Huang is truly the best in the world!"
