Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 26: The Road to Breaking the Wall
"My husband, this mountain is too steep. I'd better go down!"

"I am here to fetch the sword. I cannot let you take any risk. You stay here and I will go down myself."

If Iron Arhat takes the sword first, he may become the holder of the Golden Snake Sword.

If the mission of "Famous Relics" turns out to be to kill Iron Arhat, the consequences will be dire.

Huang Sixi refused to let Tie Luohan do it for him, and pulled the rope down the cliff himself.

He walked down about twenty feet and successfully stepped into the entrance of the deserted cave.

It was pitch black in the cave and I couldn't see anything.

He first took out the tinder from his waist, lit the torch, and then went into the cave.

This cave is actually a crack in the mountain. The entrance is narrow and you have to bend down to pass through, but the further you go in, the wider the terrain becomes.

By the time he reached the stone chamber where Xia Xueyi's bones were buried, his body was able to stand completely upright.

The deserted cave had been open for a long time, and the foul air in the cave had long been emptied. He held a torch to check the stone chamber, and found that the ground was empty and there was nothing to be seen.

Originally, Xia Xueyi's bones should have been lying on the ground. When Yuan Chengzhi came in two years ago, he had already buried the bones on the spot.

Huang Sixi held up the fire and looked at the stone wall. There were hundreds of human figures carved on the left side. These were the moves in the "Golden Snake Secret Book".

In fact, the Golden Snake Sword did not belong to Xia Xueyi. He tricked the sword out of the Five Poison Sect.

After he mastered the swordsmanship, he went to the Chess Fairy Sect to seek revenge, but was trapped in the "Five Elements Formation" of the Fifth Ancestor of the Chess Fairy Sect and could not escape.

Later, after Xia Xueyi escaped to the deserted cave, he figured out the method to crack the "Five Elements Formation", carved all of it on the stone wall, and wrote it as the "Golden Snake Secret Book", waiting for someone with a predestined relationship to practice it.

Therefore, the Stone Wall Techniques include all of Xia Xueyi's original and unique skills, mainly the Golden Snake Sword Technique, the Golden Snake Cone Technique, and a part of the Golden Snake Swimming Fist.

However, Huang Sixi has another way of passing on his skills, and there is no need to bother to comprehend the diagrams.

He kept reading along the mural and saw a few lines of words engraved on the right side at the end.

There are a total of sixteen stone inscriptions: 'The precious secret technique is given to those who are destined to be with me. If you come to my door, do not complain when you encounter misfortune.'

This is Xia Xueyi's handwriting.

Next to the stone inscriptions, a golden hilt protruded from the stone wall, with the sword blade completely embedded in the stone wall.

"This is the Golden Snake Sword!"

The condition of the sword was no different from what Huang Sixi had expected. It was alone and sealed in the deserted cave, as if quietly waiting for its owner.

Huang Sixi first stuck the torch into the ground.

Then he grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand, exerted his internal energy, and pulled it out with force. With a "swoosh!", the sword was completely free from the stone wall.

"What a sword!"

First, a compelling chill emerged, followed by a brilliant golden light. Even if the torch was extinguished, Huang Sixi could still see the sword in the stone chamber.

The shape of this sword is quite peculiar. It looks like a winding snake body. The snake's tail is coiled into the hilt, the snake's head is the tip of the sword, and the snake's tongue is at the front end. It has two forks and can be used for hooking, scratching, dragging, and poking. It has several more means of attack than an ordinary sword.

Huang Sixi stretched out his fingers and tapped the sword a few times, making a crisp tinkling sound. The entire sword was cast with a mixture of gold and other metals, and was heavier than an ordinary sword.

A bloodstain formed two inches above the hilt, emitting a dark green light.

Huang Sixi was watching intently when the sword suddenly flashed and the mantras and techniques of the "Golden Snake Secret Book" began to emerge.

"Huh? How come this sword can reveal the secret directly?" Huang Sixi was very surprised. When he found the golden bowl of the Beggar Gang, it was a relic of a famous figure handed down from the late Yuan Dynasty. If he wanted to inherit the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing", he had to complete the task of assassinating the master of the Bao Mansion.

He naturally thought that in order to inherit the martial arts in the Golden Snake Sword, he also needed to complete a certain assassination mission, but he didn't expect that this was not the case at all.

He thought to himself: "The Golden Snake Sword is also a relic of a famous master, and it is an ownerless relic. Why is it different from the Beggars' Sect's Golden Bowl and can directly receive the heart method and moves?"

Although he felt surprised, he did not worry too much.

Now that the mental method has been revealed, it would be best to pass it on first.

He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to read the Golden Snake Sword Text, while his mind simultaneously recalled Xia Xueyi's sword training moves. He only felt brilliant sword lights emerging before his eyes, making him dizzy.

Not long after, he finished reading the sword text and recalled the moves, and all of Xia Xueyi's martial arts were transferred into his body.

He had learned a lot of Xia Xueyi's martial arts, but he shook his head slightly.

The moves in the "Golden Snake Secret Manual" are bizarre and have their merits, but Xia Xueyi has not learned superior internal skills. Judging from his martial arts foundation alone, he may not be able to be among the top masters in his lifetime.

However, Xia Xueyi is a genius who is good at winning by surprise and will use any means necessary in a duel. If he really fights with the top masters in the martial arts world, he may not lose.

"One of Xia Xueyi's surprise attacks is the use of hidden weapons, but his twenty-four golden snake cones were picked up by Yuan Chengzhi. I need to find a way to get them."

Huang Sixi thought of this and planned to put away his sword and leave.

Unexpectedly, words suddenly appeared on the Golden Snake Sword again.

The original mental formula had disappeared, replaced by the following line of sword text:
"A relic of a famous master: special for breaking walls. After inheriting the Five Poison Sect's Golden Snake Sword, the Beggars' Sect's Golden Bowl, the Iron Sword of the Iron Sword Sect, and the Xiandu Sect's Killing Saber, you can break through walls with the sword and enter the next arena. If the Golden Snake Sword is damaged, breaking walls will be permanently ineffective!"

After reading this line of sword writing, Huang Sixi's heart started beating fast.

He was somewhat excited at the moment.

Although he did not understand the specific meaning of breaking the wall, it was not difficult for him to understand entering the next world of martial arts. It was very likely to help him reach a higher level of martial arts world.

From the time he traveled through time until today, he always thought that he would stay here for the rest of his life.

He risked his life to assassinate Huang Taiji, so he was unwilling to shave his head and change his clothes, and tried his best to protect the Central Plains.

However, the path of breaking through the wall on the Golden Snake Sword expanded his mind and ambitions all at once, and he no longer needed to limit his vision to the late Ming Dynasty.

There will be a stronger and higher martial arts path waiting for him in the future.

He has now mastered the Golden Snake Sword and Golden Bowl martial arts. Next, he just needs to find the two famous relics, the Iron Sword of the Iron Sword Sect and the Xiandu Sect's Killing Knife, to start breaking the wall.

He thought again: "I know where the Xiandu Sect's Killing Saber is hidden, but the Iron Sword Sect's Iron Sword seems to have been lost in Tibet. Even the head of the Iron Sword Sect, Taoist Mu Sang, doesn't know the whereabouts of the iron sword. I must go to Tibet to look for it."

He had a plan in mind and couldn't wait to rush to the Tibetan border.

He had no intention of paying attention to the chaos in the Central Plains.

He had assassinated Huang Taiji and Dorgon, weakened the ruling power of the Tartar nobles, and prevented the Tartars from invading the south. As for how the Ming Dynasty and the rebel army fought, he really had no interest in intervening.

Thinking of this, Huang Sixi tied the Golden Snake Sword behind his back, held the torch and left the deserted cave.

When he reached the cave entrance, he first shook the rope and shouted upwards, sending a climbing signal to Tie Luohan. Tie Luohan immediately shook the rope back and the voice also came down from the top of the mountain, indicating that he should come up without worry.

He immediately grabbed the rope and climbed quickly to the top of the mountain.
