Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 307 One man is in charge

With the sudden deaths of Juexin and the ten great Qi Ninjas, the shouting and killing in the valley showed no signs of stopping, but instead became more and more intense.

The hundreds of warriors present were all Juexin's servants and also the death squads who had sneaked into Middle-earth. They were more vengeful than the Ten Great Ninjas and attacked Huang Sixi like crazy.

Huang Sixi immediately jumped high up, and used his lightness skills to shuttle through the crowd, swinging his sword and slashing wherever he passed. His Dragon Subduing Sword was indestructible, and the sword energy could be stimulated at will. Often, one strike would result in several corpses.

Although there were many enemies around, none of them could get within a few feet of Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi used the 'Sword Heart Clear' to mobilize his spiritual aura, locking the space within a few feet in radius and firmly controlling all incoming forces. Even the slightest airflow would be clearly captured by the spiritual aura.

So even if hundreds of people in the valley attacked Huang Sixi at the same time, Huang Sixi could easily dodge them.

Even though the warriors present had cultivated true qi, their martial arts skills were not up to par. Except for a few leaders who were able to use true qi to launch aerial attacks on Huang Sixi, the rest could only rely on hidden weapons to carry out long-range sneak attacks. However, once the hidden weapons got close to Huang Sixi, they would be locked by his spiritual aura, and then used the force of the Dragon Subduing Sword to counterattack.

Without exception, those warriors who fired hidden weapons at Huang Sixi were killed by the weapons' rebound.

After the two sides fought for a while, more than a hundred warriors were killed. They originally hoped to rely on their numerical advantage to surround and kill Huang Sixi, but ended up being slaughtered.

They tried their best and charged fearlessly, but not only could they not hurt a hair on Huang Sixi, they couldn't even touch a piece of his clothes. Huang Sixi's figure was elusive, his swordsmanship was as graceful as a fairy, and his martial arts was as strong as gods and demons. Even if their number was twice as many, they would probably still end up being slaughtered one-sidedly.

Faced with a master like Huang Sixi who could not be defeated, they became more and more timid as the battle went on, and fear filled their hearts. When more than half of their men were killed, they suddenly collapsed completely, as if their camp had been blown up. They no longer had the courage to continue fighting and began to flee like a tide.

But how could Huang Sixi give them the chance to escape?
When Huang Sixi separated from Fire Qilin earlier, he had already signaled Fire Qilin to go and block the entrance to the valley.

Huang Sixi and his sword attracted the firepower of hundreds of warriors. The Fire Kirin took the opportunity to rush to the mouth of the valley and spewed flames. After the fire started at the mouth of the valley, the Fire Kirin began to set up fire circles along the edge of the valley.

When the warriors' morale was crushed and they tried to escape, they were horrified to find raging fires everywhere.

Huang Sixi's killing did not slow down, but his attacks became faster and faster.

Seeing their companions falling to the ground one after another, the warriors present rushed into the circle of fire with determination.

The entire valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the fire area at the valley mouth is the largest. Even the most powerful martial arts skills cannot pass through it.

The only difference is that the flames on three sides of the mountain had just been ignited by the Fire Kirin. As long as one has excellent lightness skills, one can successfully break through.

Soon, dozens of warriors rushed to the top of the mountain. However, when they looked down, they found themselves falling into an icy cave, with despair on their faces.

Smoke appeared at the foot of the mountain at some point and actually formed a circle around the mountain. The warriors saw that the smoke was green in color and it was obvious that the air inside was highly poisonous.

However, Youdu had to bite the bullet and go ahead, because Huang Sixi and Huo Qilin were already chasing him up from the valley.

These warriors broke up into small groups and flew away when faced with disaster, entering the poisonous fog area from different directions. They looked down from the top of the mountain. Although the poisonous fog was all around the mountain, it did not spread far outward. No matter how strong the toxicity of the fog area was, as long as they held their breath and rushed out in one go, there was definitely hope of escape.

But how could they know that this poisonous fog was made from psychedelic grass and could penetrate into the body through the eyes. It would not cause any physical damage but would cause people to have hallucinations.

The poisonous area seemed to be only a dozen feet away and could be crossed in the blink of an eye, but once you fell into the illusion, you would lose your way and wander around like a headless fly.

Before Huang Sixi rode the Fire Kirin into the valley, he placed Xiao Min outside the mountain in advance, and gave Xiao Min a batch of hallucinogenic poison beads, asking her to release poisonous fog along the mountain.

She received martial arts training from the Clay Buddha, and at a young age she had already become a top-notch master. She also wanted to follow Huang Sixi and help him in the battle, but unfortunately she never got the chance.

When she saw dozens of warriors rushing down the mountain in a panic, she suddenly felt that she had a chance to use her skills. She hid in the poisonous area and launched a sneak attack, knocking down eight warriors in one breath.

When she wanted to catch the ninth one, the few who had escaped from the mountain had already been wiped out by Huang Sixi and Huo Qilin.

"Brother Huang, I captured eight prisoners!"

Xiao Min looked experienced, but she had never killed anyone. She captured the warrior and brought him to Huang Sixi to let him deal with him.

Huang Sixi saw that the warriors were timid and didn't dare to look him in the eye. They were obviously frightened. So he said, "Just answer my questions honestly. After you answer, I will kill you. If you are stubborn, I will skin you alive!"

These warriors had lost the ability to commit suicide by disembowelment, and hurriedly said, "We are willing to answer!"

Huang Sixi began to interrogate: "When do you plan to attack Shanhaiguan?"

Among these warriors, there was a leader who had access to confidential information. He replied on their behalf: "When the master arrives from Japan, we will enter the pass! We are the vanguard warriors following the young master. We are under the master's order to gather intelligence outside the pass. We are traveling light and will set up camp in this valley to plunder supplies!"

"Who is your master?"

"The master's name is Jue Wushen! He is the Palace Master of Wushen Jue Palace and also the overlord of the Japanese martial arts world!"

"Where is your young master?"

"Young Master's name is Juexin! He has just been chopped into two by His Excellency Sword God! May I ask Your Excellency..."

The leader asked tremblingly: "Excuse me, sir, are you the descendant of the Middle-earth martial arts legend Wuming?"

Xiao Min was very unhappy when the leader called her by the wrong name, and she scolded him, "You are blind, you call me Brother Huang the God of Sword, how can your swordsmanship be weaker than the legendary Wuming? Just answer whatever I ask you, and if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut off your tongue!"

After saying that, he smiled at Huang Sixi and said, "Brother Huang, Sword God sounds nice. From now on, you can call him Sword God. In the past, there was a Sword Saint and a Sword Demon in the martial arts world, but none of them could compare to the might of the Sword God."

Huang Sixi ignored her and continued to interrogate the leader: "Do you know Wuming?"

The leader said cautiously, "More than a decade ago, I followed Master Jue Wushen to attack Shanhaiguan. At that time, Wuming defended the pass alone with a sword and defeated Master Jue Wushen. I witnessed it with my own eyes!"

Huang Sixi said, "Since Wuming defeated Jue Wushen, why didn't he kill you, but gave Jue Wushen a chance to make a comeback?"

The leader showed admiration on his face: "Wuming is a benevolent hero. At that time, we five thousand warriors followed Master Jue Wushen to attack Shanhaiguan. Wuming blocked us at the pass. During the battle, except for our martial arts being abolished or weapons being knocked off, Wuming did not kill any of us. When we left Middle-earth, we were all grateful to Wuming for showing mercy! There is absolutely no other kind-hearted person like Wuming in the world!"

Huang Sixi's face gradually turned cold. "Since you are grateful to Wuming for not killing you, why do you still want to invade Shanhaiguan? Do you think that no matter how many evil things you have done in the Middle Earth, no matter how many sins you have committed, Wuming will not kill you, so you have no scruples and come back again and again?"

The leader stammered, "I... I came to the Middle-earth on the orders of Master Jue Wushen! Your Excellency Sword God, although I robbed some money and food after landing, I didn't kill anyone. I really didn't kill a single Middle-earth person. It was other warriors who killed innocent people!"

"Pooh!"

Even the teenage Xiao Min didn't believe what he said, and cursed: "You are worthy of being a dog thief, you just do whatever that old dog Jue Wushen tells you to do!"

The leader responded subconsciously: "In our Japan, it is an honor to be a dog of Master Jue Wushen! Many warriors don't even have the qualifications to be dogs!" Xiao Min was stunned.

After she recovered, anger welled up on her face and she wanted to slap the shameless thief to death.

Huang Sixi stopped her, because there was still one thing he hadn't asked clearly: "When will Jue Wushen arrive in Middle-earth?"

The leader replied: "In three days, Master Jue Wushen will land at the mouth of Gouzi River!"

Gouzi River is less than a hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan. If Jue Wushen marches at full strength, he can reach Shanhaiguan in half a day.

Huang Sixi finally asked: "How many troops did Jue Wushen lead this time?"

The leader didn't know the exact number, but only said, "There are at least 3,000 warriors, all of them are elite and skilled Japanese martial arts masters!"

After Huang Sixi used the "Soul Transfer Technique" to confirm that the leader was not lying, he waved his hand and the Fire Kirin immediately spewed out flames, burning the eight captives to ashes.

Xiao Min looked at their miserable condition without feeling any pity at all.

Wait until the Fire Kirin puts out the fire.

Xiao Min discussed with Huang Sixi: "Brother Huang, how should we deal with the three thousand warriors? Should I inform the garrison general of Shanhaiguan and ask him to send troops to encircle and suppress them?"

Huang Sixi said: "These warriors are all martial arts masters. If we want to encircle and annihilate them, I estimate that even ten times the number of soldiers may not be able to do it. How many soldiers are stationed at Shanhaiguan? If tens of thousands of troops are withdrawn, it will give these warriors a chance to attack the pass!"

Xiao Min was at a loss and asked Huang Sixi for advice: "Brother Huang, what do you think we should do?"

Huang Sixi has made up his mind: "I will send you back to Shanhaiguan first. You tell the garrison general about the situation here and ask him to increase the defense of the pass wall!"

"Brother Huang, what about you?"

"I'm going to the mouth of Gouzi River and wait for Jue Wushen to land!"

"Ah! Brother Huang is going to deal with Jue Wushen alone? He commands three thousand martial arts masters. No matter how strong your martial arts skills are, once you are surrounded by these masters, they will use up all your energy even if you sacrifice human lives!"

Not to mention Huang Sixi himself, even if the Fire Kirin was surrounded, it might be exhausted.

Huang Sixi would certainly not put himself in a desperate situation.

He said lightly: "I am not going to fight those 3,000 warriors head-on, but to find a chance to assassinate Jue Wushen. As long as we kill this leader, the 3,000 warriors will be in chaos. When they break up into small groups and flee for their lives, it will be very easy to deal with them!"

Huang Sixi's plan was to assassinate Jue Wushen directly. As for the three thousand warriors, as long as Jue Wushen died, they would never dare to continue attacking Shanhaiguan and would definitely return to Japan by the same route.

If during the assassination attempt on Jue Wushen, all three thousand warriors had been fearless and launched an attack on Huang Sixi at all costs, the assassination would have failed.

Then Huang Sixi would withdraw temporarily and turn to assassinate the three thousand warriors. When these warriors were killed to the point where their morale was unstable and they fled back to Japan, he would then deal with Jue Wushen.

Anyway, Huang Sixi had already planned to go to Japan to launch a large-scale assassination until the entire Japanese martial arts world was wiped out. No matter how many of the three thousand warriors escaped, Huang Sixi would personally go to their homes in the future and eliminate them one by one.

Xiao Min didn't know Huang Sixi's plan. She always thought it was too risky for Huang Sixi to intercept Jue Wushen alone, but Huang Sixi didn't let her go, and she couldn't persuade him.

After returning to the valley and cleaning up the battlefield.

Huang Sixi rode the Fire Kirin back to Shanhaiguan. He put Xiao Min at the gate and gave her a final reminder: "Jue Wushen will land in three days. In my estimation, this matter can be completely resolved within a month at the latest. Then we will go north to find your grandfather. During this time, you must stay inside the pass patiently and don't go out, otherwise I won't be able to find you afterwards!"

Xiao Min said obediently: "Brother Huang, don't worry about what you do. I will never hold you back!"

Huang Sixi nodded at her and walked away alone.

The Fire Kirin ran at full speed for less than an hour and arrived at the mouth of the Gouzi River.

As it was almost dusk, Huang Sixi did not check the terrain. Instead, he found a cave nearby to rest for a while.

During the day, Huang Sixi cleaned up the battlefield in the valley and collected spoils and relics.

One of them was the token left by Juexin, which contained Juexin's martial arts "Heavenly Net Hand". After reading it, Huang Sixi felt that it was not as good as "Sky Frost Fist" and "Paiyun Palm", let alone "Rulai God Palm", so he immediately threw it behind his mind.

Then he took out ten crystal beads, which were the unique weapons carried by the ten great Japanese ninjas. The crystal beads could amplify the power of true qi.

Each crystal bead contains the same magical skill "Mahānīyānī", which is also the unique qigong of the ten great qigong ninjas.

In terms of power alone, "Great Sun Purple Qi" is not as good as Huang Sixi's self-cultivated "Three-Point Return to Origin Qi".

However, "The Purple Qi of the Great Sun" has a special feature, the practitioner can inject his own purple qi into another person's body to temporarily enhance the other person's internal strength.

At first, Huang Sixi thought that this Qigong was useless to him.

When he had mastered the "Great Sun Purple Qi" technique and was able to wield the purple qi to demonstrate its power, he saw the Fire Qilin lying beside him and injected the purple qi into its body.

Unexpectedly, with this move, purple energy began to flow in the Fire Kirin's body, instantly increasing the intensity of the Fire Kirin's flames.

In the past, the Fire Kirin relied on instinct to spit fire, and could only spit out the flames about ten feet away. However, after being infused with the "Purple Qi of the Great Sun", the flames in its body took advantage of the situation and spit out violently, radiating thirty to five feet away.

"what?"

Huang Sixi and Huo Qilin were both stunned and felt very surprised.

So Huang Sixi made persistent efforts and continued to use "Big Sun Purple Qi" to assist, and found that the Fire Kirin's fiery power had been obviously strengthened.

As soon as he thought about it, he understood that the Fire Qilin was a spiritual beast that had survived for thousands of years, and the fire power stored in its body was actually unfathomable.

However, the Fire Qilin did not know how to practice martial arts, and its ability to spit fire depended entirely on the subconscious reaction of its body. When Huang Sixi's "Big Sun Purple Qi" resonated with the flames in its body, the potential of these flames was released.

If Huang Sixi's internal strength was stronger, "Big Sun Purple Qi" would definitely help the Fire Kirin to spit fire farther.

However, the current distance of thirty to five meters is enough for Huang Sixi to use in combat, which is of great advantage to him in assassinating Jue Wushen.
