Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 282 Ice Soul
Roaring Sky Dog was hit on the head by Bu Jingyun's powerful palm force, causing its skull to shatter. It had no internal strength to defend itself, and the palm force penetrated its whole body, shattering its internal organs.

Its injuries were too severe. Even if Huang Sixi used the Rama Qi to restore its breath, it was temporarily unable to move. It would not be able to recover without recuperation for more than a month.

Huang Sixi was eager to track down the Fire Qilin, so he didn't want to delay and directly took out a Blood Bodhi and fed it to Roaring Sky Dog.

Blood Bodhi has miraculous healing effects and can speed up the recovery of Roaring Sky Dog. Combined with Rama's true qi, Roaring Sky Dog can be kept alive and kicking within a few days and at the same time can also generate internal strength.

In order to save time, Huang Sixi set out on the road with Roaring Sky Dog in his arms, healing his wounds while searching for clues about the Fire Kirin.

After Xiaotian Dog took the Blood Bodhi and recovered some strength, Huang Sixi took out the scales he had obtained in Lingyun Cave, let Xiaotian Dog smell the scent of the Fire Kirin, and then instructed Xiaotian Dog to start tracking.

Xiaotian Dog is seriously injured and is not suitable for running for the time being, but he can point out the direction for Huang Sixi.

Unexpectedly, it showed Huang Sixi a way back to the original route, until he returned to the woods outside the Xia Wang Mansion and found the dog king's body.

It suddenly broke free from Huang Sixi's arms, staggered towards the corpse, and wailed.

"Hey? I asked you to track down the Fire Kirin, but you came back to look for your old master. You really don't take me seriously!"

Huang Sixi just complained and did not criticize Xiaotian Dog's behavior.

Back in the Tianlong Jianghu, the Lightning Marten coveted Rama's true energy, and after joining Huang Sixi's arms, he immediately forgot about his old master Zhong Ling.

Although Xiaotian Dog was saved by Huang Sixi, he still remembered his old master, which shows that he is a loyal dog.

Huang Sixi left Xiaotian Dog guarding the corpse while he dug a pit nearby and buried the corpse.

"Your old master has committed many evil deeds. Ordinarily, his body should be left exposed in the wilderness. But in order to make you feel at ease, I will bury his remains!"

Huang Sixi knew that Roaring Sky Dog was human-like, so he took out the scale armor again and placed it in front of Roaring Sky Dog's nose. He then said, "Now that your old master has been laid to rest, shouldn't you help me trace the source of this scale armor?"

Xiaotian Dog widened his eyes and stared at Huang Sixi for a while, then suddenly identified a direction and started running.

Huang Sixi immediately followed, thinking: "Did this dog smell the scent of the Fire Unicorn, or does it have other purposes?"

At first Huang Sixi couldn't figure out Roaring Sky Dog's true intentions.

After chasing for a whole night, we arrived at the foot of a mountain range the next morning.

When Huang Sixi entered the mountain, he passed by a stone tablet with the inscription "Northern Suburb Imperial Tomb".

Upon seeing the words "Imperial Tomb", Huang Sixi suddenly realized what Xiaotian Dog was tracking. He immediately used his Qinggong skills and leaped forward, trying to stop Xiaotian Dog and prevent it from moving forward.

However, Xiaotian Dog was leading the way. It was several dozen feet away from Huang Sixi. When Huang Sixi jumped to its side, it had already run into a valley.

There happened to be three figures in the valley.

As soon as Huang Sixi and Xiaotian Dog appeared, the three of them immediately turned their heads to look at them, and then leaped together, their body movements were extraordinary, and they surrounded Huang Sixi and Xiaotian Dog in the blink of an eye.

When Roaring Sky Dog saw a powerful enemy approaching, he barked loudly and looked ferocious.

Huang Sixi clapped his hands and released a stream of soft internal energy, which he pressed on the back of Howling Sky Dog. At Huang Sixi's signal, Howling Sky Dog immediately stopped barking, bent its limbs, and lay on the ground.

Looking at the three people around him, one of them had a long sword on his back. He looked to be a young man in his twenties, but lacked vitality. His face was very gloomy and he seemed to be worried about a lot.

The other was an old monk in a red robe, with a dignified look, calm and composed, looking like a great monk.

The last nobleman was about the same age as the young swordsman, but he was injured, with a bandage on his right arm, and his face looked haggard, as if he had not rested for several days.

Huang Sixi noticed that the martial arts uniform this man wore was the same as those of the dead disciples of Xia Wang Mansion, and the word "Xia" was embroidered on the left chest, so he guessed that this man was a survivor of Xia Wang Mansion.

As for who the young swordsman and the red-robed old monk were, Huang Sixi couldn't figure it out.

The three men surrounded Huang Sixi, all of them were on guard, but no one attacked indiscriminately.

The old monk in red robe pointed at the Roaring Sky Dog and asked Huang Sixi, "Excuse me, benefactor. The yellow dog under your feet looks familiar. May I ask what is your relationship with Tianchi?"

Without waiting for Huang Sixi's response.

The young swordsman suddenly frowned: "Is this yellow dog the dog of the Tianchi killer?"

He then asked the red-robed old monk: "Master, I remember that more than 20 years ago, my uncle broke into the Tianchi main temple alone and killed all the assassins of this gang. Is there any fish that escaped at that time?"

The old monk in red robe said, "Mr. Sword Saint did break through the Tianchi main temple to eliminate harm for the people, but twelve Tianchi assassins escaped and went to the Tianxia Association under different names to become Xiongba's lackeys!"

The old monk was telling a story of bloody past in the underworld. Twenty-five years ago, Tianchi rose in the underworld. This was a killer organization that gathered the 108 best assassins in the underworld. They were money-driven, and as long as the employer paid enough, they were willing to assassinate any target at any cost.

Because they did things by any means necessary, people in both the black and white worlds were in panic and regarded them as the cancer of the martial arts world. The martial arts heroes jointly invited the most prestigious Sword Master of Wushuang City at that time to come out and eliminate them.

The Sword Master single-handedly destroyed the Tianchi headquarters and disintegrated the organization. The twelve surviving killers surrendered to Xiongba and formed the Twelve Evils of Tianchi, and have survived to this day.

When Huang Sixi heard the red-robed old monk mention "Mr. Sword Saint", he had already guessed the old monk's identity. He should be the guardian of Wushuang City, Shi Wuzun.

That sinister young swordsman must be the young master of Wushuang City, Dugu Ming, whose uncle is the Sword Saint.

The destruction of Tianchi that the two were talking about was an event that happened twenty-five years ago. At that time, Xiaotian Dog had already started to follow the Dog King in the world.

Huang Sixi thought that for a dog, living for twenty or thirty years was considered a long life.

Shi Wuzun looked at Huang Sixi and said, "You have a young face, so you are definitely not the Tianchi Killer Dog King. Could you be the Dog King's descendant?"

Huang Sixi shook his head: "I have nothing to do with Tianchi. I met this yellow dog by accident. It was seriously injured and in danger at the time. I saved it, and it has been serving me ever since!"

Shi Wu Zun did not doubt it, but asked again: "Then why did you come to the imperial mausoleum?"

Huang Sixi originally didn't want to explain, but he guessed that Xiaotian Dog ran all the way here to track down Bu Jingyun in order to avenge his old master.

Huang Sixi said, "I encountered a bloody incident when I was in Xia Wang Mansion. Bu Jingyun, the leader of Feiyun Hall of Tianxia Society, massacred Xia Wang Mansion. I was chasing Bu Jingyun!" "Ah!"

The injured nobleman suddenly became excited, stepped forward, and eagerly inquired about Huang Sixi's identity: "Does your Excellency have any old relationship with my Xia Wang Mansion?"

If they weren't old friends, there would be no need to provoke Bu Jingyun, the villain, for the sake of Xia Wang Mansion.

Huang Sixi glanced at the noble young master and said, "I just happened to pass by. That Bu Jingyun was so vicious that he actually killed all the more than 100 people in the Xia Wang Mansion. Young master, you are wearing the martial arts uniform of the Xia Wang Mansion. Could it be that you are from the Xia Wang Mansion?"

The nobleman showed a look of grief and indignation: "I am Lü Lian, the young master of Xia Wang Mansion! When Bu Jingyun attacked my family, I escaped first, so I didn't get killed by Bu Jingyun!"

Huang Sixi asked him casually: "Does Bu Jingyun have any deep hatred with your family?"

"There is no hatred at all!" Lu Lian said hurriedly: "Bu Jingyun wanted to steal my family's ancestral treasure, Bingpo. My family was unwilling to give it to him, so he got angry and started killing people!"

"Before going to Xia Wang Mansion, I passed through Chunhui Town. Bu Jingyun first went to Wanguan Bank to borrow 100,000 taels of gold and escorted him to Xia Wang Mansion!" Huang Sixi felt that Lu Lian concealed some facts: "Did Bu Jingyun use this gold to buy Bingpo in your mansion?"

"He wants to buy it, but my family doesn't want to sell it. He can't force us to buy or sell it!" Lu Lian's face turned red with anxiety: "Everyone in the martial arts world knows that the Ice Soul is hidden in the body of the first ancestor of my Xia Wang Mansion, the Xia Wang. Once the Ice Soul is taken out, the Xia Wang's body will definitely decay. We, the descendants of the Lu family, must never let our ancestors down!"

A hundred years ago, a great hero rose in the martial arts world. Because he loved to stand up for the weak and do good deeds all over the world, he was respected as the "King of Heroes" by his fellow martial artists. After he became famous, he built the King of Heroes Mansion outside Chunhui Town, lived in seclusion, got married and had children.

In his early years, the 'Xia Wang' had found a treasure called Bing Po. After his death, Bing Po was preserved together with his body and enshrined in the tomb hall of the Xia Wang's mansion.

Over the past hundred years, the corpse of the 'King of Heroes' has remained intact all year round, all thanks to the Ice Soul. This Ice Soul is said to be a very cold stone, extremely rare in the world, and has the magical effect of preserving corpses for thousands of years.

Bu Jingyun extorted 100,000 taels of gold from Wanguan Bank in order to exchange the gold for Bingpo in order to preserve Kong Ci's body.

However, the Xia Wang Mansion was unwilling to give up the ancestral treasure, so they revealed Bu Jingyun's whereabouts to the Tianxia Association, which gave Bu Jingyun an excuse to snatch Bingpo.

In order to defend the corpse of the 'Xia Wang', the descendants of the Xia Wang Mansion desperately besieged Bu Jingyun and tried to stop him from snatching Bingpo from the corpse of the 'Xia Wang'.

There was no room for compromise on both sides, so they engaged in a desperate fight, which ended with Bu Jingyun's complete victory.

After Bu Jingyun put Bingpo into Kong Ci's body, he took Kong Ci straight to the "Northern Suburbs Imperial Tomb". He planned to bury Kong Ci in the imperial tomb.

Lu Lian followed along the way, he did not dare to get too close to Bu Jingyun. Fortunately, Bu Jingyun was carrying a coffin and he did not lose him. On the way, he met Shi Wuzun and Dugu Ming, who were also chasing Bu Jingyun, so the three of them came to the "Northern Suburbs Imperial Tomb" together.

Huang Sixi heard this and asked the three people: "Where is Bu Jingyun? Have you found out?"

The three of them pointed at the back mountain together: "A queen's mausoleum is being built in the mountain, and Bu Jingyun is inside that mausoleum!"

Huang Sixi asked curiously: "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you go find him?"

The three of them looked at each other, all showing a solemn expression: "The leader of Tianxiahui, Xiongba, has also arrived here. It is rumored that Bu Jingyun betrayed Tianxiahui. Xiongba came here to clean up the sect, so it is a good opportunity for them to kill each other!"

In fact, they were afraid of Xiongba and did not dare to enter the tomb for the time being.

Huang Sixi couldn't help but look at Dugu Ming: "Your uncle, the Sword Saint, has a great reputation. Why don't you invite the Sword Saint? His swordsmanship has reached perfection. Even if he fights against Xiong Ba, he should not be at a disadvantage!"

Dugu Ming was a proud person, afraid of being looked down upon, so he quickly explained: "My uncle is in the life and death retreat, he can't go anywhere! Otherwise, Chu Jingyun would never be able to destroy our Wushuang City. My uncle's Holy Spirit Sword Skill is invincible in the world, he can be killed with one sword!"

Huang Sixi did not think that Dugu Ming was bluffing. The Sword Saint's "Holy Spirit Sword Technique" was indeed extraordinary. "How long will Mr. Sword Saint's life and death test last?"

Dugu Ming raised his chin and said proudly, "My uncle has already issued a declaration of war to Xiongba. On the day when Xiongba married his daughter, I personally delivered the declaration of war to the Tianxiahui headquarters and handed it to Xiongba! The declaration of war reads, 'The day of the beginning of winter is the day of the decisive battle. The ten-year appointment will end easily!' My uncle will be out of seclusion in a month at the latest, and the great revenge of Wushuang City will definitely be avenged!"

When mentioning Wushuang City, Dugu Ming immediately showed an expression of hatred.

As early as half a year ago, Wushuang City and Tianxiahui were both the most prestigious gangs in the martial arts world. They even formed an alliance and agreed to rule the martial arts world together.

Who knew that Xiongba was so ambitious that he wanted to make Tianxiahui the only powerful organization, so he sent Bu Jingyun to Wushuang City to launch a sneak attack half a year ago.

Bu Jingyun used a colorless and odorless intestinal and bone-corroding poison to slaughter all 296 people in Wushuang City, thus helping Xiongba complete his ambition of unifying the martial arts world.

This also proved the fortune teller Ni Bodhisattva's prediction for Xiong Ba: "How can a golden unicorn stay in a pond? Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon!"

Back then, the Clay Buddha told Xiongba that as long as he found Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun and accepted them as his disciples, he would be able to achieve supremacy in the martial arts world.

It is true.

But not long ago, the clay Buddha calculated a new hexagram for Xiongba: 'Success is due to wind and clouds, failure is also due to wind and clouds'. Xiongba was extremely obsessed with the clay Buddha's hexagram and immediately wanted to kill Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.

Xiongba married his daughter Kong Ci to Nie Feng and deliberately instigated Bu Jingyun to snatch the bride, until he forced Bu Jingyun to rebel against the Tianxia Society. This was completely due to the influence of the Clay Buddha's hexagram.

Bu Jingyun was regarded as a mortal enemy by Dugu Ming because he destroyed Wushuang City. In order to avenge this deep hatred, Dugu Ming couldn't even wait for the Sword Saint to come out of seclusion. As soon as he heard that Bu Jingyun was being hunted by the Tianxia Society, he couldn't wait to pull Shi Wuzun to come and surround Bu Jingyun together.

Dugu Ming, Shi Wuzun and Lu Lian appeared at the imperial mausoleum with the same plan, which was to kill Bu Jingyun. Unfortunately, they did not expect that Xiongba would also come here. Out of fear of Xiongba, they were forced to stay in this valley.

Huang Sixi had no scruples about Xiong Ba, he said to the three people: "Since Bu Jingyun is in the mausoleum, I will go find him now, you three can continue to wait!"

After he said that, he led Roaring Sky Dog and headed straight for the mausoleum in the back mountain.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, then followed behind without any prior agreement.

When they arrived at the mausoleum, they found that Xiongba and Bu Jingyun were nowhere to be found.

The entire mausoleum was in a mess, with rubble and cracked stones, as if it had been through a fierce battle.

Huang Sixi discovered a bloody arm dropped from the pile of rocks on the ground, with a plain bronze sword tightly grasped in the palm.

Huang Sixi went forward to pick up the long sword, and saw the following line of sword writing on the sword body: "Legacy Relic: Contains the unparalleled sword and sword heart, and the nine great magic weapons combined, you can read the 'Sword Heart Clear' mental method!"

He really never expected that he would pick up a magical weapon for free in a tomb.

But he was just happy for a moment when he heard Dugu Ming's exclamation: "Ah! My unparalleled sword!"
