Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 233 Tianshan Child Mother
At the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

It is winter.

Huang Sixi used his martial arts skills to climb up to the top of a spruce tree. He wanted to find out the surroundings, but the area was covered with thick fog. He looked into the distance, but could not see any other scenery except a row of blurry mountain shadows.

He fell back to the ground helplessly.

The snow was about half a foot thick, and he walked forward, making a slight "crunch! crunch!" sound.

Not long ago, he broke through the wall from Di Renjie's world and descended into the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' world, but it is still unclear where he is exactly.

He walked through the snowy forest, exploring the way out aimlessly.

Half an hour later, he heard the sound of flowing water in front of him. He immediately quickened his pace and soon arrived outside the snowy forest, where he saw a stream flowing by.

The other side of the stream was flat and it turned out to be an endless snowy plain, and no one knew where it led to.

Huang Sixi was hesitating whether to continue exploring in the snowy forest or to go up the snowy plains to hurry on his way. Suddenly, his ears moved and he heard the sound of footsteps coming along the stream.

He immediately used the "Climbing the Clouds and Riding the Dragon" technique, climbed up a tree branch by the stream, and hid for a while.

After a while, a middle-aged Taoist priest was seen passing by. He looked disheveled, as if he was running for his life. There was a sword wound on his left shoulder, and bleeding profusely. He was running as fast as he could, but after turning his head to check his injury, he stopped by the stream and hurriedly cleaned the wound and bandaged the sword wound.

Huang Sixi saw that there were no pursuers behind him, so he jumped down from a tree branch and shouted to him across the wide stream, "Master Taoist, may I ask where is this place?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest was already nervous, and when he suddenly heard Huang Sixi's voice, he was so scared that he squatted on the snow.

When he looked up and saw Huang Sixi on the other side of the river, several feet away from him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Huang Sixi sarcastically: "What is this place? Hehe, this is a graveyard for men! If any man breaks in, he will be skinned alive if he doesn't die!"

Huang Sixi didn't want to hear him keep him in suspense, so he asked again: "Then which direction should we go so that we can leave here as soon as possible?"

The middle-aged Taoist saw that Huang Sixi was tall and had a sharp weapon on his back, which made him obviously a martial artist. He rolled his eyes and threatened, "This is the foot of Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak. The area within a hundred miles is a restricted area. No place is safe! My fellow Taoist, why don't you join me and fight your way out together!"

Huang Sixi was stunned. Piaomiao Peak? This peak is located at the southern end of Tianshan Mountain. Could it be that he has landed in the Tianshan Mountains again this time?
Seeing that Huang Sixi did not reply, the middle-aged Taoist priest raised the whisk in his hand, bowed, and introduced himself: "I am Jiuyou, a disciple of the Thunder Sect in the Western Regions, and I am worshipped by the First-class Hall of Xixia. I will accompany you to fight your way out of the siege and return to the First-class Hall. When the time comes, I will leave all the wealth and glory to you!"

Huang Sixi heard the Taoist mention Xixia Yipintang and Leidianmen, and asked casually: "I know that Leidianmen has a nine-winged Taoist priest who is good at using the Qinggong 'Thunder in the Nine Heavens', which is quite impressive. What is your relationship with him?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest was delighted when he heard Huang Sixi praising the Nine-Winged Taoist priest. "To be honest, I am the junior fellow apprentice of Brother Nine-Winged. I broke into the restricted area of the Lingjiu Palace this time on the orders of my brother, to capture the evil maid of the Lingjiu Palace and interrogate her about the situation in the Lingjiu Palace!"

Huang Sixi glanced at the middle-aged Taoist priest and asked, "Do you have a grudge against Lingjiu Palace?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly became indignant: "The evil maids in Lingjiu Palace hate all men in the world. Whenever they meet a man, they will dig out his eyes and break his limbs, or even kill him. They are all a group of evil women. I came here to find out their true colors, in order to enforce justice on behalf of heaven!"

As he spoke to this point, he heard a sharp shout coming from behind.

He hurriedly reminded Huang Sixi: "My fellow Taoist, the demon maids from the Lingjiu Palace are chasing you. If they see you in the restricted area, they will kill you immediately! If you don't believe me, you can just wait for them to catch up and see how they abuse you."

Huang Sixi nodded: "Okay! I'll just wait for them to come and commit the crime."

Seeing that Huang Sixi was not panicked at all and was calm and composed, the middle-aged Taoist guessed that Huang Sixi had a high opinion of himself and his martial arts skills must be quite good, so he was no longer in a hurry to continue escaping.

In the blink of an eye, the 'devil woman' mentioned by the middle-aged Taoist priest had caught up.

There were seven of them in total.

The leader was a middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties, and the other six were all young women in their twenties. They were all wearing light blue cloaks with a ferocious black eagle pattern embroidered on the chest of the cloaks. It was obvious that they were from the same sect.

The middle-aged woman had a murderous look on her face. When she saw the middle-aged Taoist priest, she raised her sword and stabbed him, shouting, "You bastard, give me your life!"

The middle-aged woman also saw Huang Sixi out of the corner of her eye, and thought that Huang Sixi and the middle-aged Taoist priest were accomplices, so she signaled her three young women to join hands with her to besiege the middle-aged Taoist priest, and ordered the remaining three to deal with Huang Sixi.

When the three young women heard the middle-aged woman's order, they said in unison: "Yes, Sister Shi!"

After saying that, he used his Qinggong skills to lightly touch the water on the surface of the stream, turned over and jumped to the other side, then rushed to Huang Sixi in one step.

They wanted to attack with swords, but they saw that Huang Sixi had a strong face, smart and deep eyes, and a cold and intimidating demeanor, which made them feel afraid and did not dare to attack rashly.

They had lived in Piaomiao Peak of Tianshan Mountain for a long time and rarely saw men. When they saw Huang Sixi's extraordinary appearance, they were unwilling to take action for a while.

They asked first, "Are you in league with that thief?"

Huang Sixi said: "I don't know him at all. This was the first time we met face to face!"

They hurriedly said, "Since you don't know me, then leave as soon as possible. The farther away the better. If you wait for grandma to come here, you won't be able to leave!"

Huang Sixi knew that the 'grandma' they were referring to should be the Tianshan Tonglao, the owner of Lingjiu Palace.

Huang Sixi asked, "It's no problem for me to leave, but I'm lost. Can you three ladies give me some guidance? Which direction should I go?"

They all pointed at the stream and said, "Go east along the stream. A hundred miles away is Xixia. Once you enter Xixia, you will be out of my restricted area. Even if I come in person, I won't chase you anymore!"

They just hoped that Huang Sixi would leave immediately so that both sides would not have to fight and damage the relationship.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the middle-aged Taoist was besieged by the women and was unable to fight back. He exposed a flaw and pretended to escape. When the women followed him, he suddenly rolled up his Taoist robe and shot out an arrow from his sleeve.

The leader, Shi Sao, was the closest to them. She couldn't dodge in time and got scratched on the cheek by the hidden arrow. She swayed and knew that the hidden arrow was poisoned. She raised her arm and shouted, "Grandma has received the news and is coming this way. Let's retreat for the time being and wait for Grandma to come in person. She can kill this thief Taoist priest with one move!"

She and the three young women around her retreated first, and at the same time shouted to the three subordinates around Huang Sixi to retreat.

But the three subordinates were far away and it was too late for them to leave.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was unable to stop Shi Sao's four daughters, so he used his unique Thunder and Lightning skill, 'Thunder above the Nine Heavens'. He threw an iron plate into the air, which reached a height of two or three feet, and then he leaped onto the iron plate.

Huang Sixi watched the entire melee with cold eyes. He saw the middle-aged Taoist priest jump into the air, lightly tap his feet on the iron plate, and with the help of the buoyancy of the iron plate, his body bounced out and landed directly on the heads of the three women beside Huang Sixi.

"Want to run? You are just dreaming! I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart unless I skin you alive and tear out your tendons!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest fired arrows from his sleeves again, hitting the three women and knocking them to the ground.

But the middle-aged Taoist priest was not happy about the defeat. Instead, he was extremely worried. He warned Huang Sixi, "My fellow Taoist, the Child-Fairy of Tianshan will soon catch up with us. We cannot stay here for long. You should escape quickly!"

After saying this, the middle-aged Taoist threw the iron plate into the air again. He leaped out, touched the iron plate with his toes, and flew high with the help of the plate. His body suddenly floated five or six feet away in the air. He shook his Buddhist dust again, wrapped the iron plate in the dust and threw it out. Then he repeated the same trick and continued to use his toes to step on the iron plate.

After stepping a few times like this, the middle-aged Taoist priest had already fled twenty or thirty feet away.

Huang Sixi thought after watching it, "Could this unique light skill be the 'Thunder in the Nine Heavens'? With the help of the iron plates, he can jump higher or farther, and in the blink of an eye he can jump dozens of feet away. This is a unique and supreme light skill!"

However, Huang Sixi did not follow the middle-aged Taoist priest. Three young women were lying at his feet, all of them had been shot by poisoned arrows and were in critical condition.

They looked up at Huang Sixi and asked hesitantly, "You... do you want to kill us?"

Huang Sixi shook his head: "I have no grudge against you, why should I kill you? You showed me the way, I will return the favor!"

Huang Sixi immediately squatted down, pulled out the poisonous arrows for them, and applied antidote ointment and Tianxiang Duanxu glue on them.

They were already frightened, and when they found out that Huang Sixi was willing to treat them, they breathed a sigh of relief. Then their eyes went dark and they fainted.

Huang Sixi planned to wait until they woke up before leaving.

As a result, after waiting for only about an incense stick of time, a ball of black light flashed above the stream. The black light was like a ghost, as fast as thunder, flying towards Huang Sixi from far away.

In just a moment, the black light had landed on the other side of the stream.

Huang Sixi took a quick look and saw a girl about ten years old standing on the other side of the river.

He looked at her carefully again and found that there was no childish look on the girl's face. Instead, her eyes were as bright as lightning and she had an overbearing majesty, and she was filled with the sophistication of an adult woman.

It is obvious that the girl is only of similar height to the other girl, and her actual appearance is not much different from that of a woman in her thirties. She should be a dwarf.

Looking at her feet again, there was a man's body lying there. This body was the middle-aged Taoist priest who had escaped earlier. The girl kicked the middle-aged Taoist priest away, stared at Huang Sixi coldly, and scolded: "Little pig dog, you dare to act wild on the territory of Lingjiu Palace. Since you are tired of living, grandma will fulfill your wish and send you to reincarnate!"

After she finished speaking, her body suddenly swayed. She only took one step forward, but she had already crossed the stream and leaped into the air to a few feet away from Huang Sixi. She was still shouting angrily, "Come and die for me!"

She swung her arm violently and slapped with her palm, using the superior palm power of "Tianshan Six Yang Palm". Her palm was full of true energy, and its sharpness was no less than that of a sword. She believed that she didn't need to hit Huang Sixi directly, and only needed to get close to Huang Sixi's few feet to have the power to cut off his fingers and arms.

But she never expected that she could always kill her opponent with just one move, and no matter how skilled the opponent was, she didn't need to use a second move.

Just now, she killed the middle-aged Taoist priest with just a flick of her finger.

But when facing Huang Sixi at this moment, she met the strongest opponent in her life.

Huang Sixi guessed that she was the Child-Fairy of Tianshan because of her loud voice and dwarf-like figure.

When the Child-Fairy of Tianshan came to slap him, Huang Sixi immediately used the thirteenth move of the Dragon Subduing Palm, 'Dragon Travels in Ten Thousand Paths', and swung out with one palm, creating an overwhelming palm shadow.

Tianshan Tonglao saw the dense palm shadows and snorted coldly: "Mystery!"

Her palm moves suddenly changed, and she began to use the "Tien Shan Zhe Mei Hand" again.

This "Tianshan Zhemei Hand" is all-encompassing, covering many grappling techniques, including fist, palm and leg techniques. It can easily take away swords, knives, whips, guns and other weapons. It has complicated changes and can be regarded as the only way to fight hand-to-hand. Its essence is similar to "Dugu Nine Swords".

When the Child-Fairy of Tianshan saw that Huang Sixi's palm shadows were ever-changing, she immediately changed her move to the "Tienshan Zhemei Hand". She only used the Zhemei Hand to grab the opponent and locked onto the real palm from among Huang Sixi's many palm shadows.

He immediately rushed forward and slapped Huang Sixi's palm.

At first, when Huang Sixi fought with her, he did not find anything unusual in her palm technique. When her palm shadow penetrated and hit his palm, Huang Sixi suddenly realized that a cold air condensed in her palm, instantly freezing the space of several feet in radius.

Huang Sixi knew that the Tianshan Tonglao of Lingjiu Palace had a unique skill called "Life and Death Talisman", which was to reverse the internal force, making the true energy emitted from the palm several times colder than ice, and then condense into ice before hitting the enemy.

Huang Sixi's moves also changed immediately, from the thirteenth palm 'Dragon Travels in Ten Thousand Paths' to the sixteenth palm 'Dragon Snake Stings'.

This palm is purely defensive.

He faced the palm force of the Life and Death Talisman handed over by the Child-Fairy of Tianshan and collided with it.

There was a bang.

The two palms crossed and hit each other.

Huang Sixi stood there without moving, as steady as a mountain.

Tianshan Child-Grandma took a few steps back, horrified in her heart: "What kind of palm technique did this little thing use? Not only did he block my Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, he even knocked back all my Life and Death Talismans. His palm power is so strong that it has surpassed the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Tianshan Six Yang Palm!"

Tianshan Tonglao is nearly a hundred years old and has seen all kinds of things in the world.

She had already formed an inherent perception in her mind that those with strong martial arts skills could bully others at will, while the weak were destined to be bullied by the strong. If anyone wanted to avoid being bullied, he had to become the strongest person in the world.

She thought she was extremely skilled in martial arts and never used a second move to kill someone, so she treated all the people in the world as pigs and dogs, allowing them to be beaten and killed at her will.

Until today when she met Huang Sixi, she used all her strength to launch a palm strike of 'Tien Shan Zhe Mei Hand', but instead of gaining any advantage, she was instead hit back by Huang Sixi's palm force, causing her arm to feel slightly sore and numb.

She immediately made a judgment in her mind that Huang Sixi's martial arts skills were probably not much different from hers.

She changed her words naturally and no longer called Huang Sixi "little piggy dog", but "little thing".

But she didn't think Huang Sixi could defeat her, and immediately launched a second round of offensive.

Before she launched her attack, the maids from Lingjiu Palace whom she recruited rushed to both sides of the stream in groups.

Hundreds of maids, holding swords, tried to attack Huang Sixi, but were stopped by the Child-Grandma of Tianshan: "This man is very skilled in martial arts. You are no match for him. Attacking him will only lead to your death! All of you should stay ten feet away. No one should get close without my order!"

The hundreds of maids immediately retreated, clasped their fists and replied, "We will follow the orders of our lord!"

Tianshan Child-Grandma turned her gaze and stared at Huang Sixi: "Little thing, your palm skills are pretty good! You can catch one palm from me, but you may not be able to catch the second one! Watch out!"

She moved quickly, turned into a black light and rushed towards Huang Sixi, running and jumping around Huang Sixi.

Her steps were as cunning as a rabbit, and she was like a ball of light and shadow, rapidly spinning around Huang Sixi.

Because her movement speed was too fast, like lightning and thunder, Huang Sixi had an illusion in his vision. Her figure seemed to be divided into four parts, and then into eight parts, overlapping beside Huang Sixi.

As she ran, she frequently activated the Life and Death Talisman and continuously shot it at Huang Sixi.

But Huang Sixi had a wall of Nine Yang Qi protecting his body, and all the life and death talismans hit the wall and could not get even one foot close to Huang Sixi.

Tianshan Child-Grandma was even more frightened: "This little guy's inner strength is profound, no less than my own. If we want to defeat him, we need a surprise attack!"

Huang Sixi was not afraid of the Tianshan Child-Father.

When Huang Sixi had a decisive battle with Dongfang Bubai, Dongfang Bubai was also known for his speed.

The Tianshan Tonglao's body movement speed is even better than Dongfang Bubai's.

Huang Sixi couldn't help thinking, "Lingjiu Palace was born in Xiaoyao Sect. Xiaoyao Sect's light skill "Lingbo Weibu" is known as the best light skill in the world. Tianshan Tonglao must be using "Lingbo Weibu". Every step she takes is like me using "Yuewang Magic Arrow". If I want to catch her trace, I need to find another way!"

In terms of lightness skills alone, Huang Sixi cannot catch up with the Child-Fairy of Tianshan.

He simply did not try to track down the Child-Fairy of Tianshan, and suddenly unfolded more than ten jade bee needle bags, all of which scattered outwards.

Needles attacked from all directions, and no matter how powerful Tianshan Tonglao's lightness skills were, she had no way to avoid them.

She was forced to stop and stand still, revealing her true location.

Huang Sixi saw the right opportunity, and with a "whoosh!", he used the fifteenth palm of the Dragon Rising and Subduing Technique, "Double Dragons Fetching Water", and slashed towards the Child-Grandma of Tianshan.

"Good palm skills!"

The Child-Fairy of Tianshan felt the palm wind coming towards her face, like a knife or sword cutting her, and she immediately used the "Lingbo Weibu" to its limit and dodged sideways, but Huang Sixi sent out a palm that was able to cover an area of several feet in radius.

Although Tianshan Tonglao avoided Huang Sixi's striking palm, she was still affected by the palm wind, and her cheek made a crackling sound, leaving a bloody mark.

She felt frightened and leaped back quickly, jumping into the crowd of hundreds of subordinates.

When she looked at Huang Sixi again, she had already thoroughly assessed Huang Sixi's martial arts level: "This little guy is very powerful! Grandma, I want to defeat him, but the chances are slim!"

She realized that Huang Sixi's palm power was strong and his defense was tight and impeccable, so she changed "little thing" to "little guy"!
　In the three versions of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", the top-tier masters are the Sweeping Monk, the second-tier are the four top masters Xiao Feng, Jiumozhi, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo. In the original novel, the four masters were evenly matched in their fights with each other, and they all crushed the third-tier masters You Tanzhi, Murong Fu, Shaolin Xuanzi generation and others. There is no objection to their ranking.

　　But where do the three elders of Xiaoyao Sect fit in? The original novel does not give a clear description, and the three elders have no experience of fighting against the four masters.

　　However, Xu Zhu learned martial arts from the three elders, and one can indirectly infer the three elders' realm through Xu Zhu.

　　[Chapter 31] Wuyazi first passed on to Xuzhu his internal strength of more than seventy years.

　　[Chapter 37] Tianshan Tonglao and Li Qiushui continued to pass on their inner strength to Xu Zhu.

　　How much internal energy was passed on? The Sanlian version says "nine-tenths of the two's internal energy" was passed on to Xu Zhu, but the new version changed it to "most of the two's internal energy", which can be calculated for at least a hundred years.

　　In this way, Xu Zhu had more than 170 years of internal strength.

　　Let's look at the battle between Xu Zhu and Jiumozhi in Shaolin Temple after he had acquired profound internal strength: [Chapter 40 However, Xu Zhu had never used it to fight against others, and lacked practice. Right from the start, he had a life-and-death battle with one of the best masters of the time. Although his palm technique was advanced and his internal strength was strong, he could only use % to % of it. After an incense stick of time, the two had exchanged hundreds of moves, but the situation was still a stalemate.]

　　If the Tianshan Tonglao, who has rich practical experience and has mastered the Xiaoyao Sect's magical skills, were to fight against Jiumozhi, they would not lose.

　　Personally, I rank the martial arts level of the Three Xiaoyao Elders on the same level as the Four Supremes.
