Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 218: The Flourishing Tang Dynasty
Sword Tomb.

Huang Sixi flew on the eagle at an incredible speed and in the blink of an eye he was hovering over the sword tomb.

He looked down from a high place, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he discovered that a valley below was full of colorful flowers, with a row of houses among the flowers. It was obvious that someone had settled here.

The deep valley where he sealed the dragon vein was only separated from the Flower Valley by a mountain.

When he looked over, he saw three figures engaging in close combat in the deep valley.

As the Divine Eagle was flying too high, he could not see the three people clearly, so he signaled the Divine Eagle to dive down.

The Divine Eagle regarded the deep valley as its own territory. Moreover, Dugu Qiubai's clothes were buried in the valley. When it saw someone trespassing, it was furious and let out a rapid roar when it fell.

When the three heard the eagle's cry, they all looked up, their weapons clashed with each other, and they suddenly separated, temporarily stopping the fight.

By the time the Divine Eagle descended to a height of several dozen feet from the bottom of the valley, Huang Sixi had already seen the faces of the three people clearly.

The woman in white holding the sword was Shi Xinrou. She felt dazed when she heard the eagle's cry just now, and thought she was overthinking and had auditory hallucinations. When she looked up and saw the figure of the divine eagle, she realized that what she heard was true.

She stared at the Divine Eagle as it descended lower and lower. When it was almost above her head, Huang Sixi jumped off the eagle's back and stood beside her.

Counting the time, she and Huang Sixi have not seen each other for nearly four years, but she still remembers Huang Sixi's appearance.

She has been living in Huagu all these years, actually waiting for Huang Sixi, and has been thinking about reuniting with Huang Sixi in her heart.

But she was shy by nature, and when she suddenly saw Huang Sixi, she didn't know how to greet him for a moment, and her face was full of shyness.

Huang Sixi saw blood on her sleeves and asked her with concern: "Are you hurt?"

She suddenly lowered her sword, retracting the coldness she had just shown in the fight with the enemy, and said with a smile, "I'm not injured. Just now, the fox spirit helped me fight, and it had a wound on its body. It just used too much force, and the wound burst open. The blood on my sleeve was from it."

After saying that, he took out a nine-tailed fox from his sleeve. It had a coat of white fur and was placed inside Shi Xinrou's sleeve. If you didn't look carefully, it would be hard to notice it.

Huang Sixi glanced at the nine-tailed fox and saw that the little fox was in a coma, not sure whether it was due to excessive blood loss or exhaustion.

Huang Sixi saw that the fox spirit was injured, and said to Shi Xinrou: "In the Tianshan Swordsmanship I taught you, there is a light skill called 'Flying with Wings'. If you can't defeat these two people, you can just leave first, and there is no need to fight them head-on!"

Shi Xinrou still smiled and said softly, "I was planning to withdraw first, but before I could use my Qinggong, the master came to rescue me, so I naturally couldn't leave!"

In fact, the "Tianshan Sword Technique" she practiced collected the strengths of various schools, with a total of 361 moves, both offensive and defensive, and the sword technique was swift and could take advantage of any opportunity.

Besides, she had practiced "The Great Shift of the Universe" to the second level, so she could handle it even if faced with an attack from two masters.

Just now, she had fought with two masters, and she always kept a tight guard and her defense was impeccable, with no signs of defeat.

But she had a gentle temperament and good intentions, and had never killed anyone before. Even when facing the siege of two masters, she had no intention of killing. Once the "Tien Shan Sword Technique" offensive was launched, she would hold back, which was why she had not been able to win.

Her kindness also caused her opponents to misjudge her and think that her martial arts skills were not good enough to withstand the combined efforts of two masters.

Including the day when she met Lu Zhanyuan and He Yuanjun by chance, she fought against the Western Region merchants alone and also showed no signs of defeat. However, Lu Zhanyuan and He Yuanjun's martial arts skills were too low and their eyesight was too poor to see the subtleties in her swordsmanship. They thought she needed help, so they came to her support.

Of course, she never competed for superiority, and she didn't like to argue with others. Especially when facing Huang Sixi, she was as gentle as a cat. Huang Sixi suggested that she should leave first, and she went along with what Huang Sixi meant.

Huang Sixi saw a blush on her cheeks and a gentle and delicate look. He felt a desire to protect her and took out two porcelain bottles and handed them to her. The bottles contained "Tianxiang Duanxu Glue" and "Jiuhua Yulu Pills".

After she took the pill, she gave it to the nine-tailed fox first.

Huang Sixi turned his eyes away and stared at the two masters more than ten feet away.

Both of them are around thirty years old, in the prime of their life and at the peak of their powers.

The man on the left has a high nose, deep eyes, curly hair and yellow beard, and is obviously of Hu descent, but he is wearing Hanfu. He has a pearl hanging from his neck and jade bracelets on his wrists, and he is dressed like a wealthy businessman.

In his hand he held a soft golden whip, which shone brightly and was inlaid with gems, diamonds, white jade and agate. This weapon alone was worth a million gold coins, which showed how wealthy and noble this man was.

The man on the right is tall and thin, dressed in black, as if his whole body is wrapped in a dark cloud. His face is pale and looks like a zombie, with a cold expression. This is very different from the Hu man on the left who always has a smiling expression.

He held a strange stick with a white rope wrapped around it and a hemp rope trailing from the end of the stick, like a mourning stick held in the hands of a filial son.

With cold eyes, he glanced at the divine eagle hovering over Huang Sixi and Shi Xinrou, frowned and said to the noble barbarian: "Brother Yin, before you came here, you said that there was only a weak woman living in this valley, but you didn't mention that there was a great eagle as a helper. What's going on?"

He didn't care much for Huang Sixi, but he was very wary of the Divine Eagle. He cursed sinisterly, "When I was traveling in the Western Regions, I heard that an eagle-riding assassin assassinated the Tartar emperor, causing thousands of miles of blood to flow in the Western Regions. Damn it, is there any connection between this eagle and the eagle-riding assassin in the Western Regions?"

The noble Hu man smiled and replied, "Don't worry, brother Xiaoxiang, I promise it has nothing to do with you! The Eagle-riding assassin from the Western Regions is our Persian hero. He once rescued thousands of believers from the Tartars. This assassin is still in the Western Regions fighting against the Tartars and will never come to the Central Plains!"

This person is also Persian. He grew up in the Central Plains and can speak fluent Central Plains dialect.

Three generations of his family had been doing business in the Central Plains, specializing in the jewelry business, so he gave himself a Central Plains name, Yin Kexi.

The man in black next to him was called Xiaoxiangzi, a pure Central Plains native and a famous figure in Xiangxi. After he mastered martial arts, he was eager to make achievements and establish his own career, but he despised the weakness of the Song Dynasty and was certain that it would be destroyed by the Tartars in the north sooner or later, so he went to the grassland first and planned to join the Tartars and work for them.

However, he was unlucky in his luck. After Xiaoxiangzi arrived at the grassland, he learned that the Tartars were on a western expedition and were assassinated by assassins riding eagles. They suffered heavy losses and their entire army was wiped out. Seeing that the Tartars were no longer a force to be reckoned with, he returned to the Central Plains in disgrace.

It was on the way back to the Central Plains that Xiaoxiangzi met the businessman Yin Kexi. Both of them had reached the first-class level in martial arts and their skills were comparable, so they became friends and agreed to keep in touch in the future.

Originally, Yin Kexi and Xiao Xiangzi had just been separated for more than a month, and he had no intention of contacting Xiao Xiangzi so soon.

Unexpectedly, when Yin Kexi's caravan passed outside the city of Xiangyang, he met Shi Xinrou who was out buying daily necessities. At first sight, he was shocked by her beauty. He was not born a good person and was extremely vicious. He directly plotted against Shi Xinrou and tried to abduct her.

He thought that Shi Xinrou was a weak woman and could be defeated with just a few punches and kicks, but he ended up running into a tough opponent.

He knew that he could not defeat Shi Xinrou on his own, and seeing that Xiangyang was very close to Xiangxi, he went to Xiangxi to invite Xiaoxiangzi.

As a famous figure in the martial arts world of western Hunan, Xiaoxiangzi usually doesn't care about morality, but attaches great importance to his status. He has always sneered and disdained to join forces with a weak woman like Shi Xinrou.

But Xiaoxiangzi was obsessed with martial arts. When he learned that Shi Xinrou possessed superior martial arts, he no longer cared about his dignity and had to snatch the superior martial arts.

At this moment, Xiaoxiangzi saw Shi Xinrou looking at Huang Sixi with affection. Even the most dull person could see that Shi Xinrou loved Huang Sixi and was deeply affectionate to him.

Xiao Xiangzi couldn't help but sneer and mocked Yin Kexi: "This little beauty obviously has a lover. Brother Yin, it may be difficult for you to win her back!"

Yin Kexi snorted and stared at Shi Xinrou. The beauty in front of him was extremely beautiful, with curvy and full body, and she was full of temptation. Every time Yin Kexi looked at Shi Xinrou, he felt itchy and salivating, wishing he could immediately hold Shi Xinrou in his arms and ravage her.

He also saw that Shi Xinrou was affectionate towards Huang Sixi, and jealousy instantly spread throughout his body. He swung the whip in his hand, making a sharp "pa pa" sound, and his murderous aura was released uncontrollably.

He also knew that he could not defeat the combined forces of Shi Xinrou and Huang Sixi, and he was afraid that Xiao Xiangzi would escape from the battlefield.

He then encouraged Xiaoxiangzi, saying, "This little beauty possesses the magical skill of 'The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth'. She must be related to the leader of the Ming Cult. 'The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth' is the highest magical skill of our Persian martial arts. Once it is cultivated to perfection, it will surely be invincible in the world! Brother Xiaoxiang, let's kill this person together. I only want the little beauty, and I will give up the magical skill!"

Xiao Xiangzi half believed and half doubted: "In my Central Plains martial arts world, there are five great masters of the Huashan Sword Contest, and the best in the world is Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect. If I practice the "Great Shift of the Universe", can I defeat the five great masters?"

Yin Kexi vowed: "As long as I can cultivate "The Great Shift of the Universe" to its peak, it will be more than enough to defeat two Wang Chongyangs!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Xiangzi was greatly encouraged, and he held up his mourning stick and pointed it at Huang Sixi: "I will join hands with Brother Yin to kill this guy and get the beauty back for Brother Yin!"

Seeing Xiaoxiangzi's intention, Yin Kexi felt that he had won the battle, so he swung the whip in his hand and rushed towards Huang Sixi.

The martial arts he used was called the 'Yellow Sand Wanli Whip Technique'. It was closely linked to each other and was seamless. It was indeed unique, otherwise it would not have been able to compete with the 'Tianshan Sword Technique' for a long time.

He subconsciously thought that no matter how strong Huang Sixi's martial arts were, he could at most be on par with Shi Xinrou.

Unexpectedly, when he whipped out his whip, Huang Sixi drew out the Dragon Subduing Sword with a "swish!" and used the "Breaking Whip Style" to lightly tap his wrist. He suddenly felt a piercing pain spread throughout his body.

With a snap, his whip fell to the ground.

Before he could react, the Dragon Subduing Sword, with the sound of a dragon's roar, rushed straight in and pierced through his chest.

His eyes widened immediately, looking at Huang Sixi in disbelief, and he suddenly became alert: "You...you...are you related to the Eagle-riding Assassin?"

He believed that he had mastered the martial arts whip technique, and he could not think of anyone else in the world who could kill him with a single sword strike, except the Eagle-riding Assassin.

Huang Sixi ignored him and drew out his long sword with a "Puff!". With a horizontal sweep, Yin Kexi's body was torn apart and his head flew high into the air.

Seeing how ferocious Huang Sixi was, Xiaoxiangzi no longer had any thoughts of engaging him. He instantly channeled all his energy into his legs, and he rose up from the ground like an eagle, quickly retreating out of the valley.

Huang Sixi did not chase after him. He pulled out a black iron dagger from his waist, spun twice on the spot, and the iron sword flew away, breaking through the air more than twenty feet away and hitting Xiaoxiangzi in the back.

Xiao Xiangzi fell to the ground with a muffled groan, spitting out blood, and muttered: "Damn it, I shouldn't have accepted the invitation of the Hu people. These Hu people are born disaster stars..."

Before he could finish his words, he had already closed his eyes and died on the spot.

When Shi Xinrou saw that Yin Kexi and Xiao Xiangzi couldn't even block one of Huang Sixi's moves, she remembered what Xiao Xiangzi had just said, about the assassin on horseback who assassinated the Tartar emperor.

She thought that Huang Sixi should be the assassin riding an eagle. When Huang Sixi left Guangmingding, he said that the place he was going to was somewhat dangerous and it would be inconvenient to bring the Nine-tailed Fox with him, so he entrusted the Nine-tailed Fox to her.

There is probably no place in the world more dangerous than the Tartar Palace.

After Huang Sixi killed Yin Kexi and Xiao Xiangzi, he turned back and asked Shi Xinrou: "When did you leave Guangmingding? Why did you move here to settle down?"

Shi Xinrou explained tactfully, "After the master left Guangmingding that year, members of the Mingjiao in Central Plains returned to the main temple one after another. They heard that the Tartar emperor had been assassinated, and they were angry at the Persian chief priest. They were worried that the Tartars would also retaliate against the Mingjiao in Central Plains, so they asked Jian'er and I to temporarily leave the main temple and go to live in Central Plains!"

"and after?"

"My father's hometown is in northern Hubei. I will let my aunt bring Jian'er to live in seclusion in northern Hubei first! I am afraid that the master will not be able to find us after returning to Guangmingding, so he will stay at Guangmingding alone!"

"Then how did you get here?"

"The fox spirit of the master missed you too much, and it would sneak down from Guangmingding to look for you every now and then! At first, the fox spirit of the master always went west to look for the master's trace. I was afraid that it would go to the Western Regions without permission, and then it would be difficult to track it down, so I brought it to northern Hubei, and planned to foster it in my hometown, and let my aunt and Jianer take care of it. I thought that after I settled it down, I would return to Guangmingding to wait for the master! As a result..."

"What happened?"

"As a result, after the fox arrived in northern Hubei, it found this valley. It was extremely sensitive to smells and could smell the scent of the master's divine eagle. It found several divine eagle feathers in the nearby valley. I guessed that this might be where the master and the divine eagle lived for a long time, so I asked the Mingjiao maid to come and open up a garden, build a house, and live here!"

She did not live alone in the Flower Valley, but was accompanied by several Ming Cult maids. However, all of these maids had been killed by Yin Kexi and Xiao Xiangzi.

After Huang Sixi heard her story, he praised her, "You guessed it right. This valley is the hometown of Brother Diao and I!"

She couldn't help but smile: "Then, sir, do you blame me for trespassing into your house?"

She pointed to the entrance of the cave where the dragon vein and Dugu Qiubai's tomb were buried. "The fox smelled the scent of the Divine Eagle in front of that cave, and I guessed that the Divine Eagle should live in this deep valley on a daily basis. I didn't want to disturb it, but went to the nearby Flower Valley to build a house! Sir, I haven't touched any of the grass or trees here, they are all exactly the same as before!"

"You're thoughtful!"

Huang Sixi felt that Shi Xinrou was considerate and was even more gentle when speaking to him. Previously, he had felt that it was inappropriate for Shi Xinrou to enter the sword tomb without permission, but now he had no objection.

Seeing that the long sword in Shi Xinrou's hand had several cracks, he shook his sleeves, took out the Ziwei soft sword, and handed it to Shi Xinrou: "I taught you the Tianshan Sword Technique, and it's just right to give you a magical weapon. Only when you hold this sword can it complement the Tianshan Sword Technique!"

Shi Xinrou gladly accepted it. She held the hilt of the sword with one hand and stretched out her slender jade fingers with the other hand, ready to flick the sword.

Huang Sixi immediately reminded: "This sword was once eaten by a poisonous snake, and the blade is infected with poison. You must be careful when you dance with the sword, and don't get scratched by the blade!"

When Shi Xinrou heard that the sword was poisonous, she didn't want to hurt anyone with the poison, so she asked Huang Sixi: "Sir, can you remove the poison?"

Huang Sixi took the Ziwei soft sword back: "Let me try!"

He immediately circulated the Nine Yang Qi, preparing to use the blazing firepower to evaporate the poison from the sword.

But he could never have imagined that the Nine Yang Qi had just been poured into the sword, and only a trace of the poison was evaporated, and the sword body suddenly burst into light.

Huang Sixi was amazed. He found that the light from the sword was like the flashing words he had read before.

He immediately gathered all his Nine Yang Qi, and as he forced the poison out of the sword bit by bit, sword writing appeared on the sword that only he could see:
“A relic of a famous figure: the Wall-Breaking Sword. Remove the poison from the sword and you can open the Wall-Breaking Door, allowing you to enter the worlds of Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Sea Dragon King and Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings!”

When Huang Sixi had completely eliminated the poison from the sword, the sword pattern dissipated, and new patterns of light emerged:
"The relics of famous people: the glorious Tang Dynasty, all in it!"

　First go to "Detective Dee" to enlighten the "Qian Kun Yi Qi Bag", recast the Dragon Sword, and then enter "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
