Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 388 Void Immortal Gate
Huang Sixi used lightning to strike with his palm, killing Fu Nanda and hundreds of warriors at the foot of the mountain.

The strength of the sound was like the mighty power of heaven, which made all the onlookers feel terrified.

'Dirty Hands' Maji and 'Leader of the Saimo Gang' Jing Kang would have surely become the dead souls under the thunder if it had not been for the beautiful lady's plea. When they saw the nearby warriors being burned into ashes, they were so scared that their bodies collapsed and they buried their heads on the ground and trembled.

When the beautiful lady saw that Huang Sixi had spared her father's life, she began to face the top of the mountain, prostrating herself and kowtowed continuously. In her eyes, Huang Sixi was no longer an ordinary person, but a living god, whom she worshipped devoutly.

Hou Xibai, An Long, Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen looked at the bright lightning descending from the sky and listened to the rumbling thunder in their ears. They also felt the urge to kneel down and worship.

Even though they have been famous for a long time and are knowledgeable, they are still shocked by Huang Sixi's mysterious skill in summoning thunder from the sky. This method of attracting thunder is rarely found in the world and is like a fairyland.

"It is said that there is a magical skill called 'Huang Tian Da Fa' in Taoism. If you practice it to the extreme, you can control the power of heaven and earth. During the Jin Dynasty, the great martial arts master Sun En once used 'Huang Tian Da Fa' to summon thunder and lightning, which made countless Taoist believers worship him as a true immortal on earth!"

An Long exclaimed in a tone of admiration: "It seems that Jiang Long's martial arts level is already on par with that of Heavenly Master Sun En!"

"I have also heard Master Shi talk about the Heavenly Master Sun En. It is said that his 'Huang Tian Da Fa' can absorb the spiritual power of nature, help him recover his true energy, and remain invincible forever. No martial arts in the mortal world can do anything to him!"

Hou Xibai asked An Long: "Master Shi often said that his "Immortal Seal Method" can borrow external forces to replenish the body, but it is still inferior to the "Huang Tian Da Fa"! Master Shi also said that in the past, Sun En used the "Huang Tian Wuji" move to break the void and ascended to the upper realm. Is this true or false?"

"How can I know something that even your master can't confirm?"

An Long spread his hands and gave Hou Xibai a wry smile.

He turned his head and looked at Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen: "It is said that your master, the Saint Emperor Xiang Yutian, and the Heavenly Master Sun En were famous figures of the same era. You two should know the whereabouts of Sun En, right?"

Although it has long been rumored in the Chinese martial arts world that Heavenly Master Sun En was the only Taoist master to ascend to heaven in nearly three hundred years, everyone only regarded it as a legend.

After all, no one has seen Sun En ascend to heaven with their own eyes, and no one is willing to believe that worldly martial arts can really break the void, let alone believe that there really is an immortal paradise outside the sky.

Zhou Lao sighed when he heard An Long's question and gave an ambiguous answer: "My master mentioned the Heavenly Master Sun En in his early years. He did not praise Sun En in his words, but only because Sun En's martial arts were not the strongest in the Jin Dynasty!"

"Oh?"

An Long and Hou Xibai were both surprised: "In that era, who could defeat the Heavenly Master Sun En who had mastered the Huang Tian Da Fa?"

"His name is Yan Fei, nicknamed 'Wild Sword'!"

Old Zhou sighed and introduced with longing: "He is originally a mixed blood of Han and Xianbei, and has been wandering in the rivers and lakes since he was young. He is not a member of the righteous path or the evil sect. He also has no disciples, so his deeds have not been passed down. However, his biological father Mo Yiming is the previous Holy Emperor of my Shengji Sect, and he is also the mentor of my teacher Xiang Yutian!"

When An Long and Hou Xibai heard that he was Xiang Yutian's master, they thought that his martial arts skills must be better than Xiang Yutian's, so they asked: "Could the masters who can defeat Tianshi Sun En be Mo Yiming and Yan Fei, father and son?"

Old Zhou sighed and replied, "Mo Yiming often travels outside the Great Wall. He has never had any intersection with Sun En, but Yan Fei has fought with Sun En several times and always had the upper hand! No one saw or knew whether Sun En had ascended to heaven, but Yan Fei actually broke through the void and opened the legendary immortal gate!"

An Long and Hou Xibai were both very suspicious: "Are you serious?"

Old Zhou sighed and chuckled, "My master said it himself. Yan Fei and his two wives combined the immortal treasure Dongtian Pei left by Guangchengzi, the ancient Yellow Emperor's teacher, to trigger the great three-in-one power on the Dongtian Pei, breaking through the void in one fell swoop and opening the entrance to the immortal gate. The three of them ascended together in the Jin Dynasty and will live forever in immortality!"

Anlong and Hou Xibai immediately showed their longing.

Who among mortals does not desire eternal life? Who does not want to go to the heavenly paradise?

There was silence for a moment.

An Long looked up at the top of the mountain and asked Zhou Laotan, "With Jiang Long's current Thunder-Inducing Divine Skill, can he be on par with Yan Fei?"

Old Zhou sighed and shook his head: "It seems that the Thunder Palm of the True Dragon Khan is already a martial art of the immortals, but he can't break through the void and ascend to heaven. I guess he is inferior to Yan Fei!"

An Long, Hou Xibai and Jin Huanzhen all nodded, obviously agreeing with Zhou Laotan's point of view.

They had mastered the true teachings of the Demon Sect and knew about the legendary stories of ascension and the Immortal Sect. Even though they were shocked by Huang Sixi's Thunder God Palm, they ultimately maintained their status as great heroes of the Demon Sect and did not kneel down and kowtow out of intimidation.

Not far from them, Shang Xiufang stood quietly.

At this moment, Shang Xiufang was like an exquisite jade statue. She could hear no sound in her ears, see nothing in her eyes, and all her thoughts were on Huang Sixi. All her senses were focused on Huang Sixi on the top of the mountain.

Just now, Huang Sixi killed Fu Nanda with palm thunder, saved her and rescued her from danger. While she was horrified that Huang Sixi summoned thunder and lightning, her heart was completely intoxicated by Huang Sixi's protection of her.

However, when she saw Huang Sixi and Shi Qingxuan reminiscing about the past like close friends, she suddenly realized that the reason why Huang Sixi came all the way to Jingpo Lake in Liaodong was not for the evil emperor's relics, but definitely for Shi Qingxuan.

This is Shang Xiufang's intuition.

Shang Xiufang thought she was extremely beautiful and was on par with Shi Qingxuan, but when she recalled Huang Sixi's attitude when he first met her, he was not impressed at all and treated her no differently than an ordinary woman.

Only then did she realize that, at least in Huang Sixi's eyes, she was far inferior to Shi Qingxuan.

Thinking of this, she felt a sense of loss.

When she looked at Huang Sixi affectionately, Huang Sixi did not even look at her, but turned his gaze directly to Shi Qingxuan.

This made her feel resentful and even jealous of Shi Qingxuan.

On the top of the mountain, Shi Qingxuan didn't even notice her presence.

At this moment, Shi Qingxuan's thoughts were all on Huang Sixi.

Shi Qingxuan rushed to the grassland to help Huang Sixi retrieve the Sky Blade and the Evil Emperor's Relics. She looked at Shi Zhixuan and urged him again, "Give me back the Sky Blade and the Evil Emperor's Relics, and I will never blame you for my mother's death again!"

Shi Zhixuan has been roaming the martial arts world for forty years, and his only goal is to let the Demon Sect unify the world.

In the past, he and Shi Qingxuan's mother Bi Xiuxin were able to get married because of his ideal of unifying the world. At that time, the righteous sects saw that he had the ambition to dominate the martial arts world, and all the masters were unable to do anything to him, so they sent Bi Xiuxin to try to deal with him.

As a result, Bi Xiuxin lost her virginity to him by accident.

Although he attached great importance to the father-daughter relationship with Shi Qingxuan, it would be difficult for him to make a decision if he had to give up the goal he had been pursuing for forty years.

The evil emperor's relic contained the true essence of the evil emperors of all generations. If he could refine and absorb it, he would have a chance to get rid of Huang Sixi's suppression of him. However, with the thunder palm power Huang Sixi had just displayed, even if Shi Zhixuan refined all the essence in the evil emperor's relic, he would probably still not be Huang Sixi's opponent.

Shi Zhixuan thought about this, and with a "swish!" he pulled out a golden sword and threw it towards Shi Qingxuan.

This is the Tianren Sword that Shi Zhixuan stole from Bieshan.

Shi Qingxuan stretched out her slender jade palm, grasped the hilt of the knife, and held it upright behind Linglong Xiang.

Then she blinked her clear and beautiful eyes, and whispered to Shi Zhixuan: "Where is the evil emperor's relic? This is the treasure that was first discovered by brother Xian. You should return it to brother Xian!"

Shi Zhixuan suddenly asked her: "The essence in the relic is so precious, why didn't Jianglong refine it himself, but let you, Xuan'er, take charge?"

Shi Qingxuan looked at Huang Sixi with affection, then turned around and said to Shi Zhixuan, "Brother Xian and Sister Xian could have refined all the essence of the relic, but they reserved a portion for me to improve my martial arts skills. It was intercepted by you halfway! If it weren't for me, Brother Xian and Sister Xian would have refined the relic long ago, and you wouldn't have been able to get it at all!"

"So that's it!"

Shi Zhixuan knew that his act of trying to seize the evil emperor's relics was actually robbing his daughter Shi Qingxuan of the opportunity to learn martial arts.

He no longer hesitated, grabbed the evil emperor's relic and threw it towards Shi Qingxuan.

Unexpectedly, just as the relic was thrown into the air, the Demon General Zhao Deyan next to him suddenly waved his palm and spit out a stream of claw energy in the air from a distance of several feet.

This is Zhao Deyan's trump card, the 'Eighteen Claws of the Returning Soul', which can condense the true energy into claws to attack the enemy.

Zhao Deyan used his claws to grab the evil emperor's relics tightly, and then pulled them back, and the relics flew towards Zhao Deyan out of thin air.

Zhao Deyan grabbed the relic, without stopping for a moment, jumped high, and ran down the mountain.

Upon seeing this, Huang Sixi immediately used the "Leaderless Dragons" technique, raised his arm to absorb the lightning from high altitude into his palm, and then slapped it down towards Zhao Deyan.

Zhao Deyan sensed the rumbling sound of thunder above his head, and immediately raised his arms high, holding the evil emperor's relic above his head, and shouted urgently: "If you want to attract lightning to strike me, smash this relic first!"

He was sure that Huang Sixi had no intention of destroying the evil emperor's relics, which was why he had the confidence to seize the relics.

Unexpectedly, he misjudged Huang Sixi's wishes. The Evil Emperor's relics were just external possessions, and Huang Sixi didn't care about them at all. However, he had to be punished for snatching things in front of Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi used "Leaderless Dragons" without hesitation, summoning lightning to strike Zhao Deyan's head.

Zhao Deyan was in a dilemma and could only block the attack.

The narrow and long lightning flower was like a long dragon, striking the evil emperor's relic held in Zhao Deyan's hands. "Boom!" There was a thunderous explosion, as if the earth dragon turned over in the air, and immediately set off a earth-shaking noise.

The evil emperor's relics were struck by lightning and exploded instantly, shattering from the center, forming an extremely violent force.

The moment this force exploded, everyone's eyes instantly fell into darkness, and then became brighter.

Everyone stared and looked, and saw that a vortex of true energy suddenly appeared at the location where Zhao Deyan was. It was about ten feet wide and long, and released a dazzling white light.

Zhao Deyan was trapped in a vortex of true energy. His body was stirred by the strong energy in the vortex and instantly shattered into pieces, disintegrating into a pool of blood.

When everyone saw this, they realized that the vortex of true energy contained deadly murderous intent and that they must not get close, so they all retreated quickly.

Shi Zhixuan also subconsciously used the 'Phantom Demon Body Technique', moved away from the Qi vortex, and flew to the middle of the mountain.

But Shi Qingxuan was not strong enough to escape the suction of the Qi vortex, and her graceful body flew into the vortex involuntarily.

Huang Sixi saw this scene and immediately shouted: "Sister Xuan, don't get close to this vortex!"

He rushed forward, trying to stop Shi Qingxuan.

But he was still a step too late. When Huang Sixi jumped up and grabbed Shi Qingxuan's jade-like wrist, her delicate body had already fallen into the vortex and was firmly locked by the vortex's true energy.

Huang Sixi immediately grabbed Shi Qingxuan's right arm that was exposed outside the vortex, and used "Group of Dragons Without a Leader" to burst out of the vortex, cutting Shi Qingxuan's air blades and absorbing them all into Huang Sixi's Dragon Subduing Palm power, thus protecting Shi Qingxuan's body from damage.

However, the stirring force of the vortex of true qi kept coming. As long as Huang Sixi was a little careless, the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm would not be able to cover Shi Qingxuan, and Shi Qingxuan would be destroyed and die completely in the vortex of true qi.

Shi Qingxuan noticed that Huang Sixi was rapidly losing his energy, and hurriedly advised him, "Brother, please let go. If you continue to hold on to me, your internal energy will soon be exhausted. If your energy is exhausted, how can you deal with the grassland warriors outside the lake island?"

What she was actually worried about was Shi Zhixuan.

Without waiting for Huang Sixi to reply, a beautiful female voice came from the depths of the Qi vortex: "This vortex is the immortal gate that opened after the void was broken. It's not just the Qi that is exhausted. Little girl, you are trapped in the vortex. Your body is destined to be destroyed. Whether your soul can be saved is hard to say!"

Huang Sixi and Shi Qingxuan heard this strange female voice and asked in unison: "Who are you?"

"I?"

The female voice sighed and said, "It has been two hundred years since I left the Middle Earth. At that time, the emperor was Sima Dezong of the Jin Dynasty. I didn't often walk around the world, and very few people knew me. Now, two hundred years have passed. Even if I tell you my name, I'm afraid you won't know who I am!"

Huang Sixi heard her story, and various figures in the martial arts world of the Jin Dynasty appeared in his mind. He immediately asked, "Senior, you have experienced two hundred years, so you should know the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian, right?"

"Xiang Yutian?"

The female voice smiled and said, "He is my husband's senior brother, and I know him very well! Speaking of which, Xiang Yutian perfected his magic skills thirty years ago, and used the "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Method" to break through the void and ascend to the immortal gate. When he ascended, his body was shattered by this vortex of true energy. If I hadn't protected his soul with the Dongtian Pei, he wouldn't be alive until now!

Boy, please let go quickly. This girl's body cannot be saved. I will use the Cave Heaven Pendant to guide her soul to ascend and ensure that her soul will not be scattered. But if you continue to hold her, when your true energy is exhausted, she will be destroyed in both body and soul!"

Huang Sixi would never let Shi Qingxuan's body be destroyed, so he asked: "Senior, you are a famous figure in the Jin Dynasty, and you are also the wife of Junior Brother Xiang Yutian. So your husband should be Huang Jian Yanfei, right? Please tell me how to keep Sister Xuan's body intact?"

The female voice was surprised and said, "Oh, you know my husband's name, so you must know a lot of secrets of the martial arts world in the Middle Earth. I can tell you the truth, there is only one way to save this girl's body, and that is to find the five-colored stone that Nuwa used to repair the sky. But my husband and I searched all over the Middle Earth back then, and we didn't find any trace of the five-colored stone. I'm afraid your hope of finding this treasure is slim!"

When Huang Sixi heard the word five-colored stone, he immediately remembered the five-colored stone that Madam Mei Yan gave him. Yan Fei did not find it in Middle-earth back then, so this magical stone might have been lost outside Middle-earth.
