Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 292: Wulin Legend
Huang Sixi put away the long sword left by the Sword Saint and planned to return to the back mountain to find Yu Yue and Chu Chu.

But when he summoned the Fire Kirin to leave, he saw the Fire Kirin standing there motionless, staring at a forest outside the threshing ground.

Huang Sixi could see at night, and he could see the forest clearly, but the forest was covered with weeds as tall as a person. If there was something hidden in the grass, he would not be able to see it with his naked eyes.

He immediately gestured to the Fire Kirin, signaling it to come closer and spit fire. He then drew out the White Rainbow Dagger, ready to strike.

Unexpectedly, before the Fire Kirin ran to the edge of the woods, the grass suddenly swayed, and a figure rose from the ground. He stepped lightly on the tip of the grass and leaped several feet high.

When the figure reached mid-air, he reached out to grab the branch next to him, and used the force to jump up, climbing to the top of the tree, and then floated in the air motionlessly.

Naturally, his true identity was revealed, which turned out to be a middle-aged monk wearing a bamboo hat.

When the monk flew into the air, Huang Sixi's white rainbow dagger had already shot towards him, but he calmly swung his robes, creating a strong wind that instantly deflected the attack direction of the white rainbow dagger.

Huang Sixi saw that the monk had profound internal strength, so he pointed into the air and controlled the white rainbow dagger to fly around the monk, and white rainbow sword energy then splashed out.

The monk remained calm, his robes fluttering as he gathered his inner energy outside his body. No matter which direction the white rainbow sword energy came from, as long as it hit his protective inner energy, it would instantly deflect and fly away.

The sound of "chi chi" continued in my ears.

I saw white sword energy rebounding from his body and shooting into the tree canopy, like a sharp blade slashing, breaking branches and falling leaves, and falling to the ground with a clatter.

Huang Sixi saw this and thought, "The martial arts this monk uses are similar to "The Shifting of Stars", which can divert my attack force! His meditation is also at a high level. When he was hiding in the bushes just now, his breathing, pulse, and heartbeat all slowed down to a point of near death. Even with my keen senses, I couldn't detect his location!"

The monk had great Zen skills, but he couldn't hide the smell on his body, so the Fire Kirin smelled something unusual.

Huang Sixi saw that the monk was on the treetop. Facing the continuous attacks of Baihong's sword energy, he not only did not suffer any damage, but he did not even shake violently. His lightness skill was truly rare.

Huang Sixi knew that if he continued to use the Baihong dagger, he would not be able to hurt him, so he stretched out his hand and sucked the Baihong dagger back into his palm. Then he leaped forward and came to three feet outside the tree, ready to use the Xueyin sword energy.

The monk suddenly shouted: "Don't do anything, listen to me, we are not enemies!"

Huang Sixi temporarily stopped the knife and looked up at him: "Okay, you tell me!"

The monk put his palms together, bowed to Huang Sixi, and then explained: "Half a year ago, the Sword Saint's clan was massacred and Wushuang City was destroyed. I don't know how much blood and gore the Sword Saint will cause when he comes out of seclusion this time. I was entrusted by an old friend to come and monitor the Sword Saint's whereabouts!"

Huang Sixi was not satisfied with his answer: "The Sword Saint has left the village. If you want to monitor him, you should go with him. Why do you stay here and watch me?"

The monk pointed at the Fire Kylin and said, "If I am not mistaken, this is the ancient auspicious beast, the Fire Kylin?"

Seeing that Huang Sixi did not respond, he continued, "The Fire Kirin has been causing trouble in the martial arts world for hundreds of years. All the martial arts masters of the past dynasties wanted to get rid of it, but they all returned in vain. However, you were able to tame it under your command, which amazed me. I guess you must have encountered some great blessing. I was thinking too much and stayed forgot to leave!"

His words were true and false, making it difficult to distinguish.

Huang Sixi asked again: "You just said that you were entrusted by an old friend. Who is this old friend?"

Huang Sixi felt that his martial arts skills were so profound that he dared to track down the Sword Master alone without being noticed by the Sword Master. He was definitely not an ordinary person. His old friend must be very famous in the martial arts world.

He said with a guilty look: "Please forgive me, my old friend does not want outsiders to know his identity. Please forgive me for not revealing it."

Huang Sixi sneered: "If you don't tell me, I won't believe anything you say!"

After saying that, he swung the Xueyin Sword and slashed out a cold and proud sword energy.

The monk saw the knife energy coming, and he stepped on the tree with both feet, bending the tree crown, and then released the force. The tree crown suddenly straightened, and there was a recoil force. His body bounced back and flew away like a stone, and in a blink of an eye he had slid more than ten feet away.

"Whether you believe me or not, I have no ill will towards you. We don't need to fight. I'll take my leave first!"

As the monk spoke, his figure rose and fell among the woods several times and soon disappeared without a trace.

Huang Sixi was worried about Yu Yue and Chu Chu, so he did not launch a pursuit.

As soon as the monk left, Huang Sixi also rode on the Fire Qilin and rushed into the back mountain.

In the afternoon, Huang Sixi and Chu Chu went sightseeing together and found a secluded and beautiful valley. They then discussed building a house in the valley.

When Huang Sixi rescued Aunt Gong in the threshing ground and arranged for Aunt Gong and Xiao Jin to follow Yu Yue and Chu Chu to take refuge in the back mountain, he also told Chu Chu to meet them in the valley.

Only Huang Sixi and Chuchu knew the location of this valley.

Huang Sixi traveled through the mountains for half an hour and arrived at the valley, where he met Chu Chu and the other three.

Chu Chu and Yu Yue were both concerned about whether he was injured.

Aunt Gong looked behind him anxiously, fearing that the Sword Saint would chase her.

Only when Huang Sixi revealed that the Sword Master had left the village and went to the Tianxiahui headquarters to fight Xiongba for revenge did Aunt Gong breathe a sigh of relief.

But Aunt Gong was still afraid, so she consulted with Huang Sixi, Yu Yue, and Chu Chu: "When the Sword Saint returns from the Tianxiahui, he may come to kill me and Jin'er again. We can no longer live in the manor. I plan to move with Jin'er. What do you think?"

Chu Chu said enthusiastically: "This valley is hidden, no matter how powerful the swordsman is, he can't search here. Aunt Gong, you can move in and live with us!"

Huang Sixi, however, felt that there was no need to bother, as there was almost no possibility that the Sword Master could leave the Tianxiahui headquarters alive.

He said to Aunt Gong, "The battle between the Sword Saint and Xiong Ba has caused a sensation in the martial arts world. The two have a feud that will end in annihilation of their clans. You should wait for a while. When the battle between the Sword Saint and Xiong Ba is over, you may hear the news of the Sword Saint's death. Then you can return to the village safely."

Aunt Gong suddenly lost her mind: "The Sword Saint's magic is invincible, he will not lose!"

Huang Sixi asked back, "Why not? There's a saying in the martial arts world: 'Southern Wuming, Northern Sword Saint'. The Sword Saint retired from the sword world because he lost to Wuming, and confined himself to comprehend his new sword moves! If he can lose once, he will lose a second time!"

Aunt Gong's expression froze for a moment, and she looked at Huang Sixi with admiration on her face: "Mr. Huang, you were able to force the Sword Saint to leave the village. I guess your martial arts skills are comparable to the Sword Saint's. Your judgment must be correct! I will patiently wait for the outcome of the decisive battle with the Sword Saint!"

Huang Sixi nodded at her and ignored her.

When she saw Huang Sixi and Yu Yue walking aside, as if they had something to discuss, she did not disturb them, but pulled Chu Chu to her side and discussed the issue of camping tonight.

Huang Sixi told Yue about the monk just now, and then asked: "This monk has a strange origin, but his martial arts are quite good. Uncle Yue, can you guess his identity?"

Yu Yue said it all at once: "He should be Master Buxu of Miyin Temple. The martial arts he used to resist your sword energy is most likely the "Cause and Effect Transformation Art", a Buddhist teaching that can divert and transform the opponent's offensive! In fact, Miyin Temple is not far away. You can get there by crossing this mountain range and heading south for dozens of miles!" Yu Yue pointed to the south and said: "Miyin Temple is the most famous Buddhist temple in the martial arts world, with many eminent monks. It is rumored that Master Buxu is Wuming's only close friend. Wuming has the reputation of being a martial arts legend and is famous in the martial arts world. Master Buxu is also respected by his fellow martial artists. As a result, Miyin Temple has a transcendent status. Even if Tianxiahui unified the martial arts world, it never dared to cause trouble for Miyin Temple!"

After killing Qin Shuang and the God Captor at the dock that day, Huang Sixi and Yu Yue began looking for a place to live in seclusion in order to prevent revenge from Xiong Ba and the Sword Demon.

Huang Sixi was not familiar with the terrain of various places in Jianghu, so it was Yu Yue who was searching. Yu Yue chose to settle in this mountain range for deeper considerations. If Chu Chu was unfortunately discovered by the warriors of the Tianxiahui during her seclusion, she could then take refuge in Miyin Temple.

After listening to Yu Yue's introduction, Huang Sixi was surprised and asked, "If that monk is Master Buxu, then he claimed that he was entrusted by an old friend to track down the Sword Saint. Could his old friend be Wuming?"

Yu Yue also became puzzled: "It is true that it should be Wuming. In the martial arts world, only Wuming and Master Buxu have the ability to track down the Sword Saint! But Wuming has been dead for twenty years. How can he entrust Master Buxu?"

Huang Sixi shook his head and smiled: "This martial arts legend is the best at being mysterious. He just faked his death."

Huang Sixi didn't care about Wuming's life or death. He only cared about the 'Hero Sword' in Wuming's hand. This magical weapon was very famous in the martial arts world. He could almost conclude that the 'Hero Sword' was one of the 'Nine Divine Weapons' that could be used to cultivate a clear swordsmanship.

"Is Wuming still alive?"

Yu Yue couldn't believe it: "He is known as the hero of swords, and he is also the most upright and righteous knight in the world. If he hadn't died, he would definitely come forward to stop the Tianxia Society from slaughtering families everywhere, instead of letting Xiongba kill people at will!"

"Knight?"

Huang Sixi asked Yu Yue: "When Wuming was alive, did he do any chivalrous and righteous deeds during his time as a wanderer?"

"This……"

Yu Yue was actually speechless. He recalled all the nameless legends in his mind, but could not find any nameless deeds of chivalry.

Wuming was originally an orphan. When he was young, he was adopted as a son by a general of the imperial court and was given a name. Later, the general sold out his country for fame and fortune, so Wuming severed all ties with the general and changed his name to Wuming.

Wuming is a gifted martial arts genius who is rare in the world. He started learning sword at the age of sixteen. In just three years, he created a set of "Moming Sword Techniques" and found a magical weapon "Hero Sword". He defeated countless masters and became a master. His prestige was almost as high as that of the Sword Saint who was at the peak of his career at that time.

It was at that time that 'Nan Wuming, Bei Jiansheng' became famous in the martial arts world.

Wuming was able to fully comprehend the way of the sword in just three years, which was even more brilliant than the sword master who started learning sword at the age of five and achieved some success at the age of thirteen.

But Wuming was also young and hot-tempered. He was ruthless, domineering and deadly, causing many bloody incidents in the martial arts world. As a result, the three major families and seven major sects in the martial arts world at that time formed an alliance to besiege and kill him.

The two sides fought on the top of Mount Huangshan, and Wuming finally won. The ten leaders of the three clans and seven sects were all severely injured by Wuming, either dead or wounded.

After this battle, Wuming challenged the Sword Master again, causing the Sword Master to put away his sword and retire. After the news spread throughout the martial arts world, no master dared to fight Wuming anymore, and Wuming suddenly became invincible.

Wuming was only 22 years old at that time, but his martial arts skills and fame were unprecedented and no one could match him.

But it was also in this year that Wuming's wife Jieyu was brutally murdered by her enemies.

Wuming searched the whole world but couldn't find any trace of his enemy. He was in great pain and regretted that he had become so prominent after his debut.

Rumor has it that Wuming died young at the age of only 22 due to grief over missing his deceased wife.

It has been twenty years since Wuming's 'death'. His rise in the martial arts world was as brilliant as a shooting star. During these twenty years, his deeds have been repeatedly mentioned by people in the martial arts world, who call him a legendary myth in the martial arts world.

Over time, "Wulin Legend" has also become an unknown nickname.

Just looking back at Wuming's experience in the world for a few years, what is so legendary about him?

His only myth is his invincibility with swordsmanship.

During his lifetime, he went around looking for people to challenge and dealt a heavy blow to all the major sects, causing them to have no successors and martial arts to be lost. The entire martial arts world fell into decline as a result, which gave the martial arts warlord, Xiongba, the leader of the Tianxiahui, an opportunity to take advantage of.

With Wuming faking his death and the Sword Master retiring, Xiongba began to rise up and grew rapidly over the next twenty years until he unified the martial arts world.

Therefore, Wuming has the myth of being undefeated, and his martial arts skills are stronger than those of Sword Saint and Xiongba. However, judging from his performance in the martial arts world, he is merely a peerless swordsman, not a knight.

Huang Sixi listened to Yu Yue finish telling Wuming's life experience.

He commented: "During his time in the martial arts world, the only thing Wuming did was to challenge the ten major sects and challenge martial arts masters. His purpose was just to show off his sword skills. But if he couldn't even protect his first wife, how could he be invincible?"

Yu Yue smiled bitterly when he heard this.

He could not refute Huang Sixi's point of view, and only advised Huang Sixi: "Anyway, Wuming has retired and never shows up in the world, so Ah Si, you don't need to pay attention to him!"

He knew that Huang Sixi had no respect for Wuming. If Wuming was really still alive, his martial arts skills must have reached an insurmountable level. There was really no need to provoke a big enemy for no reason.

He stopped Wuming's topic and asked Huang Sixi about his plan: "There are only about ten days left before the decisive battle between Sword Saint and Xiong Ba. When are you going to leave for the Tianxiahui headquarters?"

Huang Sixi said without hesitation: "Let's set off tomorrow! It's better to be early than late!"

Yu Yue decided to go with them, but he was worried about Chu Chu: "Should we help Chu Chu settle down first before setting off?"

Huang Sixi shook his head: "Chu Chu is not alone in seclusion now, there are also Aunt Gong and Xiao Jin. In order to prevent any accidents, Uncle Yue, you should stay and take care of Chu Chu. It is enough for me to go to Tianxiahui alone!"

Yu Yue suddenly felt embarrassed.

He had met the Sword Saint before and was defeated before he could block a few moves. If it weren't for the protection of the Qilin Arm, he might have been killed by the Sword Saint on the spot.

He knew that there was a huge gap between his martial arts and that of the Sword Saint. Xiongba and the Sword Saint were both top masters of the same level. Even if he followed Huang Sixi into the Tianxiahui headquarters and got in front of Xiongba, he would not be able to help Huang Sixi in any way. However, he was really worried about Huang Sixi taking the risk of going to the Tianxiahui alone.

He tried to persuade Huang Sixi.

Unexpectedly, Huang Sixi brought the topic back to Wuming: "Has Wuming's sword, the Hero Sword, ever been seen in the martial arts world in the past twenty years?"

Yu Yue said: "I have never heard of it! If Wuming is still alive, the Hero Sword should still be in Wuming's hands. If Wuming gave the Hero Sword to someone else, Master Buxu should know who Wuming gave the Hero Sword to!"

Huang Sixi thought that Master Buxu was tracking the Sword Saint and would most likely rush to the Tianxiahui headquarters, so perhaps they could meet him again.

Huang Sixi planned to go and observe the battle between Sword Saint and Xiong Ba first, and then slowly investigate the whereabouts of the "Hero Sword" after the battle.
