Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 301: Supreme Sword
Wuming always uses courtesy before force.

He glanced at Jian Chen's bloody body and questioned Huang Sixi, "Jian Chen and you have no deep hatred, why did you do such a cruel thing?"

Huang Sixi had been staring at Xiongba, thinking about the plan to attack and kill Xiongba in his mind. Today he was determined to kill this butcher no matter what, even if Wuming had to do his best to guarantee him.

He nonchalantly responded to Wuming: "What do you mean by deep hatred? Your apprentice has repeatedly attacked me, so you are not allowed to fight back?"

Wuming is a principled man. He will not start a fight unless the crime is made clear. "Maybe Jian Chen did attack you, but he definitely didn't intend to kill you. But you attacked him ruthlessly, leaving no room for him. You killed so many people recklessly. There must have been many innocent people who died under your sword before, right?"

Huang Sixi suddenly turned his gaze back to Wuming, and asked, "How many innocent people did you kill when you challenged the ten major sects? If you have dirty hands, don't use justice to pressure others! You want to avenge your apprentice, and you want to find a reason to kill me for justice, it's impossible! Because your apprentice is a despicable villain, he deserves to die!"

The scene was quiet for a moment.

Huang Sixi gave Wuming another suggestion: "But you are a swordsman. I challenge you now and send you a letter of challenge. We will duel as warriors, regardless of life or death, regardless of any chivalrous conduct or hatred. In this way, even if you kill me, it will not damage your righteous face!"

Huang Sixi swung his unparalleled sword, and the tip of the sword fell to the ground, with a letter of war engraved on it.

By the time the declaration of war was completed, the Fire Kirin had already stepped forward and stood beside him with its fangs and claws bared.

He patted Fire Kirin's neck and said to Wuming, "Fire Kirin and I advance and retreat together. Whether we are fighting against one person or thousands of people, we have always been shoulder to shoulder! If you, Wuming, feel that it is unfair, you can ask Xiongba to help you. We can fight two against two. It's perfect!"

He didn't really want to compete with Wuming. His purpose was still to eliminate Xiongba. After he fought with Wuming, he would wait for an opportunity to assassinate Xiongba.

As long as Xiongba is killed on the spot, Huang Sixi can then fight or flee as he pleases.

Wuming could not guess Huang Sixi's intention. Instead, he felt that Huang Sixi's words were categorizing him and Xiongba as of the same character.

This made Wuming quite dissatisfied.

After twenty years of secluded practice to cultivate his body and mind, Wuming not only improved his martial arts skills, but also adhered to the moral code of the martial arts world.

Even though he is the most powerful warrior in the world, Wuming will never bully the weak. Instead, he is determined to help the needy and be upright and strict.

Because Wuming has been in seclusion for many years and is unwilling to show up in public, but he is still concerned about the safety of the martial arts world. When the Sword Saint came out to challenge Xiongba a few days ago, Wuming was worried that the Sword Saint and Xiongba would cause a bloody storm in the martial arts world, so he planned to send Jian Chen to track down the Sword Saint to prevent him from going on a killing spree to avenge the destruction of Wushuang City.

But although Jian Chen had made some progress in swordsmanship, he was not good at tracking and could not avoid the Sword Saint's senses at all, so Wuming thought of his close friend Master Buxu who was a master of meditation.

Let Master Buxu track the Sword Master and he will definitely not reveal any clues.

Master Buxu also readily agreed to help Wuming monitor the Sword Master's itinerary.

However, Wuming was not confident about Master Buxu's martial arts. He was worried that Master Buxu would not be able to handle the grand scene of the decisive battle between Sword Saint and Xiongba.

After careful consideration, Wuming decided to come to the Tianxiahui headquarters in person, but he never showed up. Instead, he followed Master Buxu and Jian Chen silently.

Just now, Master Buxu, Jian Chen, and Clay Buddha followed Huang Sixi into Xiongba Hall.

Wuming had been standing outside the hall, observing the entire battle inside the hall. Since Xiongba Hall was built on the mountainside, Wuming had to hide on a nearby mountain to see the situation inside the hall clearly, which was dozens of feet away.

According to Wuming's estimation, even if Jian Chen and Xiong Ba fought one-on-one, he could at least break down dozens of moves and would definitely not be killed by a single move.

Jian Chen was raised by Wuming since he was a child, and he learned the true skills from Wuming. Wuming was very confident in Jian Chen's martial arts. Even if Jian Chen encountered danger in Xiongba Hall, Wuming believed that he had enough time to rescue him.

Unfortunately, Wuming had planned everything, but he didn't expect that Huang Sixi had practiced a powerful killing move that could kill with one palm. When this palm was thrown out, Wuming had no chance to rescue him at all.

What made Wuming most angry was that Huang Sixi clearly had a unique skill that could kill Xiongba, but he did not use it on Xiongba, but instead attacked Jian Chen.

This shows that Huang Sixi has made Jian Chen his first target.

Just now outside the hall, Wuming saw Jian Chen paralyzed to death. In a moment of anxiety, he picked up a leaf and threw it at Huang Sixi. This was an angry move.

In fact, after arriving at Xiongba Hall, Wuming had calmed down.

Jian Chen attacked Huang Sixi repeatedly, and Huang Sixi had legitimate reasons to kill Jian Chen. As a righteous person, Wuming would not kill Huang Sixi just to avenge his disciple.

Wuming was willing to let Lian Xiongba go, so naturally he was willing to let Huang Sixi go as well. If Huang Sixi showed weakness and surrendered, he would at most cripple Huang Sixi's martial arts, but would not kill him.

Unexpectedly, Huang Sixi didn't buy Wuming's words at all.

He actually issued a declaration of war.

Wuming didn't waste any more words and nodded to Huang Sixi: "You want to challenge me, that's great! Let this battle serve as a message for me to return to the martial arts world!"

After Wuming finished speaking, his eyes immediately flashed with a cold, iron-like light like a sword.

He secretly circulated his true Qi, and cold light circulated in his body, stirring in every pore of his body, gathering energy ready to be released!
This is the magical skill that Wuming gained through hard practice after he retired to seclusion. It is more powerful than the "Moming Sword Technique" and he named it "Supreme Sword Art".

Since his enlightenment, Wuming has never used this sword technique on anyone. Today he will use it for the first time on Huang Sixi.

Unexpectedly, before Wuming could wield his sword, a familiar figure suddenly stood in front of him.

He instantly gathered all his energy and asked with a friendly expression, "Brother Buxu, how are you injured?"

This figure is none other than Master Buxu.

Just now, in order to rescue Jian Chen, Master Buxu pushed his palm on Jian Chen's back and quickly used the "Cause and Effect Transformation Technique", but unfortunately he failed to divert Huang Sixi's palm power, and his right arm was shattered instead.

Master Buxu dragged his broken arm and stood in front of Wuming, enduring the pain, and chanted Buddhist words: "The human body is just a smelly skin bag. It doesn't matter whether it is disabled or useless. As long as there is Buddha in your heart, you can be pure and flawless! I am very grateful for your concern, Brother Wuming!"

Wuming took out a bottle of ointment from his bosom and handed it to Master Buxu: "Brother Buxu is steadfast in his devotion to Buddha, and I have always admired you. However, if your body is damaged, it will be inconvenient for you to serve Buddha. You should heal your wound first and reattach your arm!"

Master Buxu did not accept the ointment. He shook his head and said, "Anyway, I will have a decisive battle with Brother Wuming later. My other arm may also be broken by you. There is no point in reattaching the arm, so why bother with treatment!"

Wuming was immediately surprised: "Brother Buxu, what do you mean? We are close friends, how can we talk about a decisive battle?"

Master Buxu lowered his head and looked at the letter of challenge on the ground. Suddenly, he kicked hard and erased the name "Huang Sixi" on the letter of challenge, replacing it with "Buxu". "I challenge you, Brother Wuming, first. After we two have finished fighting, it won't be too late for you to fight with others!"

Wuming couldn't help but frown. Not to mention that Master Buxu had a broken arm, even if it was intact and at his full strength, Master Buxu would not be Wuming's opponent.

Therefore, Master Buxu's challenge was a pure act of suicide. He wanted to use his own death to stop Wuming and Huang Sixi from going to war.

Wuming glanced at Huang Sixi and asked Master Buxu, "Brother Buxu, do you think I shouldn't fight him to the death?"

Master Buxu said bluntly: "Jian Chen is your only disciple. Now he was beaten to death. You feel sad. I sympathize with you! But I advised Jian Chen twice to leave Xiongba Hall. Not only did he not listen, but he insisted on attacking others. His death is his own fault. Brother Wuming, you can't ignore right and wrong just to get revenge!"

Wuming pointed at Huang Sixi and said calmly: "I am not seeking revenge, he challenged me, I am dueling as a swordsman!" Master Buxu shook his cassock and said: "I am also dueling, the name of the letter of challenge has been changed! Brother Wuming, if you want to duel with Master Qilin, you must kill me first!"

He is quite short, but his temper is as hard as a rock.

Huang Sixi stood behind him, listening to his strong words, and could not help but look at the clay Buddha, thinking that the clay Buddha's ability to read faces was unique.

Wuming was stunned for a moment, seeming very confused.

He was still pointing at Huang Sixi and asked Master Buxu: "Brother Buxu, your arm was shattered by this man. Even if you use a magic medicine, it may not be able to be restored to its original state. Why do you want to protect this man?"

Master Buxu looked Wuming in the face and said word for word: "Because he dared to challenge the possessed swordsman in order to save weak girls and children. He dared to challenge you, the legend of the martial arts world, in order to assassinate the vicious bandit Xiongba!"

The weak girl and child that Master Buxu mentioned were naturally Aunt Gong and Xiao Jin. When Huang Sixi duelled with the Sword Saint, he was actually taking a considerable risk, because even Huang Sixi's 'Six Dragons Spinning' could not stop the Sword Saint's 'Twenty-three Heaven-Destroying Swords'.

Today Huang Sixi challenges Wuming again. Except for the 'Six Dragons Spin', his other special moves will not pose any threat to Wuming.

Huang Sixi could have avoided provoking the powerful enemy Wuming, but in order to kill Xiongba, Huang Sixi still chose to do it at all costs.

What does Huang Sixi want?
Master Buxu said in a resounding voice: "I am protecting the righteous knights. Although Master Qilin is unknown in the martial arts world, he is a true hero who fights against violence and protects the good. Not to mention that I have a broken arm, even if all my limbs are broken, I will still help him!"

Wuming was speechless for a moment, and suddenly didn't want to meet Master Buxu's gaze.

Wuming turned to the ground and looked at Jian Chen's body: "Brother Buxu, you also protected Chen'er, you should know Chen'er..."

Master Buxu interrupted him directly: "I blocked that palm for Jian Chen because of our friendship. This does not mean that I agree with Jian Chen's behavior! Brother Wuming, you insisted on letting Xiong Ba go, and I also disagree with it!"

Wuming has his own foresight and considerations when doing things, and he doesn't need to explain it to outsiders.

But Master Buxu was his best friend in life, and he did not want Master Buxu to have any misunderstandings.

Wuming sighed softly, "Brother Buxu, think about it, Xiongba and I have no kinship or hatred, so why would I care about his business? It's for the sake of peace in the martial arts world. I don't want to see any more bloodshed in the martial arts world! Besides, Xiongba has decided to give up his martial arts and quit the martial arts world. Buddhism teaches people to become Buddhas by putting down their butcher knives. Why can't you forgive him?"

Master Buxu raised his palm and chanted "Amitabha": "I do not cultivate compassion, but only look at the retribution in this life. People in this world should reap the fruits of their deeds. Xiongba has killed countless people, and he must pay the price for these bloody crimes!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

The clay Buddha who had been hiding in the corner suddenly clapped his hands and praised: "Master Buxu is a virtuous monk who hates evil and can clearly distinguish between good and evil. This is a blessing for the innocent! The nameless hero is compassionate and sympathetic, which is also a blessing for the common people! Today's battle should end here. If the vicious fight continues, it will only make the common people cry and bleed, and the world will wail. What do you two think?"

Master Buxu immediately expressed his position: "As long as Brother Wuming does not accept Young Master Qilin's challenge, I will naturally not dare to fight Brother Wuming!"

Wuming didn't want his old friend to die in his hands, so he clasped his fists towards Master Buxu and said, "It was me who asked Brother Buxu to leave Miyin Temple and come here to deal with the decisive battle between Sword Saint and Xiongba, but it caused Brother Buxu to break his arm and get injured. I feel very guilty. I swear here today that I will never fight with you, Brother Buxu, for the rest of my life!"

Naturally, he also ended the decisive battle with Huang Sixi.

He glanced at Huang Sixi and turned away.

Seeing that he had given up on avenging Jian Chen, Xiong Ba hurriedly asked, "Senior Wuming, what you just said to me..."

Wuming waved his hand and said, "As long as you sincerely put down your butcher knife, you can leave with me!"

When Huang Sixi heard this, he suddenly struck out with the Wushuang Sword, which had been accumulating power for a long time. The sword energy rolled up the more than ten jade bee needle bags wrapped around his waist, turning them into hundreds of sharp needles, which rained down on Wuming.

At the same time, Huang Sixi grabbed the bun with his other hand, cut off dozens of long hairs, poured his true energy into the hair, and threw it into the air towards Xiong Ba with the "Twenty-two Sword Styles".

Wuming felt the inner energy surging behind him, but he did not move. The energy that had been gathered in the pores all over his body was instantly stimulated and formed hundreds of sword energies, which slashed towards the incoming rain of needles.

"Ding ding!" The crisp sound echoed through the air.

This move is the Invisible Way in "Supreme Sword Art". The entire magic skill only has four sword moves: Invisible, Merciless, Nameless and Selfless. Each move is extremely powerful.

The Jade Bee Needle was cut off by the invisible sword energy, and then turned around and tried to rush towards Xiongba to intercept the sword thread shot by Huang Sixi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huang Sixi made a move, his figure had already jumped over Master Buxu's head, jumped behind Wuming, and slapped him with his palm.

Before the palm force arrived, the green leaf jumped out from Huang Sixi's palm and flew to Wuming's back.

Wuming Li practiced the selfless way of "Supreme Sword Art" and his body suddenly transformed and split into two. His martial arts skills have reached the point where he can become one with the sword. His body speed is the same as the sword's speed. When he moves, he can leave an afterimage of his body, which looks like a clone to the naked eye.

Even though Huang Sixi was very close, he could not take a picture of Wuming. Instead, Wuming spun around him and created a layer of cold aura around Huang Sixi, trapping Huang Sixi in a space of several feet in radius.

At this time, Huang Sixi had already realized the gap in martial arts between himself and Wuming, and it was difficult for him to actually impact Wuming with his palm power.

But Huang Sixi fought close to Wuming with the sole purpose of delaying Wuming.

Just as Wuming was performing the 'ruthless way' of the 'Supreme Sword Art', he used a cold aura to block the gap between Huang Sixi and him.

The Fire Kirin swooped forward, leaped in front of Xiongba, opened its flaming mouth, and spewed out raging flames.

At this moment, Xiong Ba's body was entangled by dozens of sword threads, and he could no longer use the "Ao Xue Ling Shuang" of "Tian Shuang Quan" to resist the firepower.

The moment the flames burned his body, Xiongba let out a shrill scream.

Wuming heard the shouting and his expression suddenly changed: "How dare you, you evil beast!"

He had to abandon Huang Sixi, and pointed his fingers into the air, slashing at the Fire Kirin, but the Fire Kirin was several feet away from him, and the sword energy could not repel it.

If he wanted to attack the Fire Kirin's vital points at close range, he would have to stay away from Huang Sixi. Then Huang Sixi would be free from the restraint of his aura and would be able to cooperate with the Fire Kirin and launch an attack on him.

He turned around immediately and decided to get rid of Huang Sixi first.

As a result, when he fired sword energy at the Fire Kirin, Huang Sixi had already broken his cold aura with the "Six Dragons Spin".

Just as he was about to give chase, Master Buxu stood in front of him again. A layer of golden halo flashed around his body, and a wall of true energy condensed.

This is exactly Master Buxu's unique Buddhist skill "Ten Thousand Daos Unbeatable". If Wuming wants to break through Master Buxu's qi wall defense, he can only kill Master Buxu.

Wuming frowned and looked at Xiongba. Xiongba had already turned into a pile of black bones and there was no possibility of saving him.

Wuming immediately stopped his skill, grabbed Jian Chen's body, and without saying a word, turned around and left Xiongba Hall.

Wuming had previously sworn that he would never fight with Master Buxu in this life, and he would keep his promise, but Master Buxu would not be able to stay with Huang Sixi for his entire life. When he meets Huang Sixi again in the future, he plans to settle the old score today.
