Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 3: Hidden Arrow
The bearded man has been studying acupuncture for more than ten years, and has spent most of his time practicing internal strength.

He was a disciple of the Beggars' Sect and was good at using sticks and other weapons. After he gained internal strength, he began to practice with a green bamboo stick, until he was able to use the stick instead of his hands and identify and hit acupuncture points.

In fact, all of the bearded man's martial arts skills were demonstrated in the green bamboo stick. Unfortunately, he was ambushed by Huang Sixi's arrow and had no time to draw out the green bamboo stick to meet the enemy, so he was killed by the arrow.

After Huang Sixi finished reading the secrets of "Acupuncture Points" and retracing all the moves, the bearded man's martial arts, including his internal strength, began to emerge in Huang Sixi's body.

"Finally I have inner strength!"

Huang Sixi couldn't hide his joy.

He held the green bamboo stick, shook it to make a flower, then let the tip of the stick fall to the ground and picked up a pile of branches.

When more than ten branches jumped into the air, he took advantage of the situation and performed a move used by the bearded man, "Strike Jade and Knock Gold". He turned his wrist quickly, spun the green bamboo stick up and down, swung it left and right, and more than ten branches were smashed into two pieces by the tip of the stick almost at the same time.

The technique was so fast that even Huang Sixi himself felt it was amazing.

"Very good, it's a really good method!"

Huang Sixi sighed to himself: "If I hold a green bamboo stick and use the 'strike jade and knock gold' defense, even if more than ten feather arrows are shot at me at the same time, I can block them!"

What he meant was that more than ten arrows were shot at him from the front, not from behind. A sudden arrow can cause even the strongest master to suffer a setback.

However, he is used to long-range sneak attacks with bows and arrows, which is safer and allows him to advance and retreat in moderation.

However, the bearded man's acupuncture skills and the green bamboo stick are both close combat martial arts and are not suitable for assassins.

He thought again, "I always used bows and arrows to launch sneak attacks before because I was worried that my whereabouts would be exposed and the Tatars would intercept me and attack me with horse and archery. Now that I have internal strength and can control horse and archery, why should I be afraid of being surrounded by them? I can fight head-on!"

Of course, there are many warriors with natural supernatural powers among the Tatar cavalry, and they can fight against masters of internal martial arts, but such warriors will not serve as soldiers on duty outside, so Huang Sixi will not encounter them.

After Huang Sixi had inherited all the skills of acupuncture, he continued to clean up the battlefield.

He took the horses away, moved the body and buried it, and finally carried the fair-skinned young man back to his hiding cave behind the mountain.

Light a fire in the cave.

Huang Sixi asked the fair-skinned young man to lean against a rock.

He extended his right index finger and pointed at the "Bulang Point" on the fifth intercostal space on the right chest of the fair-skinned young man.

When this point is pressed, the fair-skinned young man's upper body will feel sore, weak and numb, and he will be unable to move, but this will not affect his ability to speak.

Then Huang Sixi grabbed the collar of the fair-skinned young man, found the "Xuanshu Point" on the back and pressed it. This point is on the spine and can block the lower limbs.

To be honest, the fair-skinned young man doesn't know any martial arts, and his legs are broken. If you don't press his acupoints, he will be just a pile of mud.

But Huang Sixi had just started learning acupuncture techniques and was itching to practice, so he deliberately practiced on a fair-skinned young man.

He pulled up the fair-skinned young man's arm again and pressed the Quchi point on his elbow.

When he raised his hand, he found that there was a weapon wrapped around the wrist of the fair-skinned young man. He took it off and saw that it was a finely crafted sleeve arrow.

This set of sleeve arrows has a beautiful appearance and looks like a bracelet ornament. There is a hidden mechanism inside the ring that can shoot a short arrow as long as a palm.

After research, Huang Sixi discovered that the sleeve arrow was powered by a mechanism and could be used even without any martial arts skills. No wonder the fair-skinned young man wore it on his wrist.

He guessed that this hidden weapon was also given by the bearded man. After all, only warriors from the Central Plains liked to use sleeve arrows.

He took it for himself without hesitation. When he put the hidden arrow on his left wrist, the fair-skinned young man slowly woke up.

"Master, please spare me, Master, please spare me!"

Huang Sixi saw that he looked afraid but not in pain, so he asked curiously, "Your leg is broken, why aren't you crying out in pain?"

The fair-skinned young man saw that Huang Sixi had the appearance of a teenager, but had no aura of a vicious and powerful man.

He smiled flatteringly: "I don't know what happened, but my broken leg didn't feel any pain. It must be you who healed my injury, sir!"

"I'll treat your injuries? You think too much."

Huang Sixi knew that the acupressure had worked, so he grabbed him by the collar and untied the blocked "Xuanshu point" on his spine.

As a result, the paralysis in the fair-skinned young man’s legs disappeared, and the pain instantly attacked his heart, and he immediately began to howl like a ghost.

Huang Sixi drew his sword and put it against his face: "If you dare to yell again, I will cut you into boiled fish piece by piece!"

The fair-skinned young man immediately shut his mouth, his face turning purple but he dared not say a word.

Only at this time did he realize that Huang Sixi was a strong man, and a bully among strong men. He thought that you really can't judge a person by his appearance. This young man looked harmless, but his words were too fierce.

Huang Sixi's words were harsh, but he didn't look fierce at all. Instead, he had the gentle temperament that is unique to young people.

In fact, he also had this kind of personality before he traveled through time. No matter what happened, he would never panic and rarely get angry. He looked very kind and amiable, but if he targeted someone, he would be extremely ruthless.

He put down his knife, sat down next to the fire, and began to interrogate him: "Are you from the Beggars' Sect?"

"I am not a beggar, it is Big Beard Lin who is!"

The fair-skinned young man glanced around but didn't see the bearded man. He guessed that the body had been destroyed by the robbers, and he became even more frightened.

"Isn't the Beggars' Sect a gang that specializes in fighting Tartars? How did that bearded guy become a Tartar lackey?"

"Master, the people of Ming Dynasty are living in poverty and poverty right now. Ordinary people have no food to eat and are raising the banner of rebellion. The Beggars' Sect is a gang of beggars. They all follow the righteous army and attack government officials. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty regards them as traitors and orders the suppression of the Beggars' Sect. A few years ago, the Beggars' Sect was beaten to pieces and almost destroyed." The fair-skinned young man carefully explained the situation:
"Big Beard Lin was wanted in the Central Plains, and he didn't want to follow the rebels and live in danger, so he went north to join the Qing Dynasty, or rather, the Tartars."

"Is this bamboo stick the dog-beating stick passed down from the ancestors of the Beggars' Gang?" Huang Sixi raised the green bamboo stick and shook it in front of the fair-skinned young man.

"According to Big Beard Lin, the Beggars' Sect's ancestral dog-beating stick was destroyed a hundred years ago. This stick is a fake one made by Big Beard Lin, and he uses it for self-defense."

"The dog-beating stick is broken? How did it break?"

"It seems that they were fighting for the position of leader of the Beggars' Sect. They killed each other. Almost all the leaders and elders of each branch were killed. The dog-beating sticks were also broken into pieces during their fight."

The Beggars' Sect is large and powerful, so power struggles are bound to occur from time to time, which is not abnormal.

But the ancestral dog-beating stick was destroyed. It was a relic of a famous sect that had been passed down for hundreds of years. It was a pity that I had no chance to see it.

Huang Sixi learned that there was the Beggars' Sect and internal martial arts in this world.

He then asked, "Besides the Beggars' Sect, are there any other famous martial arts sects in the Central Plains?"

The fair-skinned young man happened to know one: "Big Beard Lin said that the most famous sect in the Central Plains is the Huashan Sect, which is more famous than Shaolin and Wudang. The leader is Mu Renqing, nicknamed 'Divine Sword Immortal Ape'. He is the most powerful martial artist in the Central Plains!"
