Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 389 Divine Sword Controlling Thunder
Huang Sixi immediately took out the brocade box containing the colorful stones.

After he opened the lid of the box, the seven-colored halo emanating from the stone instantly reflected into the vortex of true energy.

The woman who was far away in the vortex immediately sensed it: "Huh? You found the five-colored stone a long time ago?"

"I just found it a few days ago. I found it by chance on my way to Liaodong!" Huang Sixi further asked: "Senior, are you sure this is the five-colored stone?"

"It's absolutely true!" The woman suddenly changed her tone and said, as if chanting, "In the ancient times, the four poles were destroyed, the nine continents were torn apart, the sky could not cover everything, the earth could not support everything, the fire burned without extinguishing, the water was vast and endless..."

What she was talking about was the legend of Nuwa mending the sky as recorded in the ancient book "Huainanzi".

Huang Sixi remembered the second half of the sentence: "So Nuwa refined five-colored stones to repair the sky, cut off Ao's feet to establish the four poles, and killed the black dragon to save Jizhou..."

If he were walking in other worlds, Huang Sixi would not believe that Nuwa mending the sky and the five-colored stones really existed.

However, the martial arts world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty is of the same lineage as the martial arts world of Borderland, and the deeds of the ancient Yellow Emperor and Guangchengzi have long been passed down.

Huang Sixi has also found the Temple of the God of War and discovered Guangchengzi's Vajra remains. He no longer regards Nuwa's repairing the sky as an illusory legend.

After the woman finished chanting, she continued, "This Qi vortex is the entrance to the immortal gate, but it is actually a gap in the void. The five-colored stone is a treasure specially used to mend the sky. As long as the five-colored stone is placed near the gap, the stone force will be attracted by the gap. I can sense the changes in the stone force. Only the five-colored stone in the world can cause the gap to close automatically!"

After Huang Sixi heard her confirm the authenticity of the five-colored stone, he immediately asked, "How should I protect Sister Xuan's body? Should I just give the five-colored stone to her?"

The woman asked, "How far has she cultivated? Is she able to break the void?"

After hearing this, Shi Qingxuan replied: "I have not yet reached the Grandmaster level!"

The woman was surprised: "You don't even have the cultivation level of a Grandmaster, how did you break through the void just now? Boy, it must be you who was using your power?"

Huang Sixi replied: "My martial arts have only reached the state of unity between man and nature, and have not yet reached the state of breaking the void. However, the martial arts I practice are quite special and can absorb thunder and lightning. I just smashed the evil emperor's relics with my thunder palm. It may be that the collision force was too violent, which caused the void to break!"

"The Evil Emperor's Relic? I see! This relic contains the essence of all the previous Evil Supreme Sect Masters. If it is released instantly, it will be enough to cause a gap in the void to open!"

The woman recalled, "The last time my husband fought with Master Sun, he used the 'Immortal Gate Sword Art' to collide with Master Sun's 'Huang Tian Wu Ji'. Because the collision was too powerful, it caused the void to shatter, opening a gap in the Immortal Gate. Master Sun took this opportunity to ascend first!"

When Huang Sixi heard her mention 'Huang Tian Wu Ji', he had already guessed her identity: "Is the Master Sun that the senior is talking about Sun En, the Heavenly Master?"

"It's Sun En!"

"I heard that Heavenly Master Sun En and Dan King An Shiqing were fellow disciples, and that An Shiqing's daughter An Yuqing once ascended to heaven with Yan Fei. So the senior must be An Yuqing!"

"You guessed it right!"

She was none other than An Yuqing, the daughter of An Shiqing, the King of Dan during the Jin Dynasty.

In their early years, An Shiqing and Sun Enquan practiced martial arts under the Taoist hermit Xianyun, and they were regarded as brothers.

But Sun En hated the Eastern Jin court and once organized an army to launch a rebellion. Yan Fei was dissatisfied with his behavior and fought with him repeatedly.

At the same time, Sun En harbors the desire to ascend to heaven, and he schemes to snatch the three pendants of Heaven, Earth and Heart left by the Taoist hermit Xianyun. This leads to a rift between him and his fellow disciple, Dan Wang An Shiqing, and An Yuqing also has a bad impression of him.

In fact, before his ascension, Sun En was the most vicious villain in the Middle-earth martial arts world.

However, hearing An Yuqing calling Sun En "uncle-master", the relationship between the two men should have eased after their ascension.

When An Yuqing saw Huang Sixi reveal her identity, she asked, "After Xiang Yutian ascended to heaven, he once told us about the outstanding figures of your generation in the Middle-earth martial arts world. He said that there were two people who had the greatest hope of ascending to heaven. One was the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, and the other was the Heavenly Blade Song Que. Boy, which one are you?"

Huang Sixi thought that Xiang Yutian had a very good eye for people. If Huang Sixi had not traveled through this world, the strongest masters would be Shi Zhixuan and Song Que. If it came to a life-and-death fight, Bi Xuan, Ning Daoqi, and Fu Cailin were no match for these two.

Huang Sixi replied: "I am neither of them! My name is Huang Sixi, and I am the junior of Shi Zhixuan and Song Que. When I was traveling around the world, Xiang Yutian had already ascended to heaven, and he didn't know of my existence!"

An Yuqing said, "Junior? You are a generation younger than Shi Zhixuan and Song Que, yet you have reached the state of unity between man and nature. Your martial arts aptitude must be outstanding. I can teach you a set of profound skills to refine the five-colored stones. When you break through the void and ascend to heaven in the future, you can use the five-colored stones to protect your body!"

After a pause, An Yuqing added: "In the past dynasties of our Middle-earth, there have been many masters, but you are the only one who found the five-colored stone. This is a great opportunity, you should keep it for yourself!

The law of body-cutting in the immortal gate passage is irreversible. When my uncle-master Sun En, my husband, and sister Qian Qian ascended to heaven without the protection of the five-colored stone, we were all forced to give up our bodies. You are expected to be the only one who can keep your body intact!"

These words contained a lot of information. Huang Sixi pondered for a moment before asking An Yuqing, "Senior, your physical bodies are not safe. Even if you ascend to the upper realm, won't your souls be scattered?"

An Yuqing smiled and said, "My uncle Sun En has perfected the Huang Tian Dafa and reached the supreme spiritual realm where his soul can travel. He can take over living beings at will. My husband's realm is stronger than his. Sister Qianqian and I are slightly inferior, but we have the Dongtian Pei to nourish us, so we are not afraid of our souls flying away. After ascending to heaven, my husband will help us practice!"

Huang Sixi heard her say this and knew that one could indeed ascend to the upper realm after "breaking the void", but there were strict rules in the ascension channel, and the physical body was not allowed to pass through, only the soul could travel freely.

Guangchengzi in the Temple of the God of War still left behind his tough and tamed diamond body.

The only treasure in the world that can reverse the laws is the five-colored stone.

But there was only one five-colored stone, so An Yuqing suggested that Huang Sixi keep the five-colored stone for his own use in the future, and not use it on Shi Qingxuan.

Huang Sixi understood the meaning of An Yuqing's advice, but still insisted on his own opinion: "Senior, please tell me how to use the five-colored stone to protect Sister Xuan's ascension?"

Seeing that Huang Sixi did not hesitate, An Yuqing asked hurriedly, "The Five-Colored Stone is a rare treasure that is rare in the history. Are you sure you want to give it to this girl?"

Huang Sixi said calmly: "The most precious treasure in the history? It is not even worth a hair of Sister Xuan!"

Shi Qingxuan originally wanted to persuade Huang Sixi, but after she said this, she only felt a strong sweetness surging in her heart, as if she had eaten honey, which made her heart unable to help but be indulged in it, and she could no longer utter thousands of words.

An Yuqing couldn't help but smile: "Boy, you are great. After I bring this girl here, I will accept her as my disciple, teach her personally, and keep her safe. I promise that your efforts will not be in vain, but..."

"But what?"

"The five-colored stone contains the power of reconciliation. The stone power can resist the cutting of the vortex of true energy! But once the five-colored stone enters the vortex, it will also cause the natural weather in the surrounding area to become disordered and out of control. You are now in a thunderstorm. At that time, the lightning in the sky may all rush into the vortex and strike this girl. While I am practicing to guide her, someone must protect her with a physical body!"

"I'll protect Sister Xuan!"

"Boy, you can think about it carefully. If the lightning in the sky gathers into a ball, the power will be extraordinary. Even if my uncle and husband come in person, they may not be able to stop it. Are you really not afraid?"

"Everyone is afraid sometimes, but I refined a magic sword in my early years. No matter how violent the power is, I am sure I can take it!" "Well, you hand the five-colored stone to this girl now, and I will use my power to help her release the power of the stone!"

Huang Sixi immediately took out the five-colored stone from the brocade box and placed it on Shi Qingxuan's white palm.

Shi Qingxuan knew that Huang Sixi had to protect her from danger and was unwilling to take the five-colored stone, but Huang Sixi did not give her a chance to refuse and directly pressed the five-colored stone in her palm.

After a while, An Yuqing cast a spell, and a powerful force locked the five-colored stone in Shi Qingxuan's palm, merging it with Shi Qingxuan's body, inseparable.

When the power of the five-colored stone was released, it wrapped around Shi Qingxuan's body like a cocoon, and restrained Shi Qingxuan, sliding towards the depths of the true qi vortex.

Shi Qingxuan's fragrant arms, which were exposed outside the vortex, gradually sank into the vortex.

Not until Shi Qingxuan's entire arm entered the vortex did Huang Sixi let go of her wrist.

The time to say goodbye has come.

After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.

Shi Qingxuan's nose felt sore and tears kept falling down her face.

She said to Huang Sixi in a sentimental voice, "Brother, even if the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, Qingxuan will always remember you!"

Huang Sixi smiled casually: "It doesn't matter if you forget me, I won't blame you anyway!"

Hearing this joke, Shi Qingxuan burst into laughter. She wanted to take advantage of this rare moment to tell Huang Sixi some of her inner thoughts that she had never dared to say before.

Before Shi Qingxuan could speak, there was a loud "boom!" and long and narrow lightning bolts fell from the sky, densely landing on the periphery of the Qi vortex.

The lightning flashes overlapped and burst out with a dazzling light like the scorching sun, completely obscuring the environment outside the vortex, and Huang Sixi's figure was also isolated outside.

Shi Qingxuan only felt a vast expanse of whiteness in front of her eyes, unable to see anything. She anxiously shouted, "Brother, Brother..."

In fact, when her body was completely immersed in the vortex of true energy, her figure disappeared without a trace.

Huang Sixi could no longer see her, and began to hold up the Dragon Subduing Sword, concentrating on resisting the lightning strike.

This magic sword was forged by combining nine peerless divine weapons. When the magic sword came out of the forge, a teardrop-like sword mark appeared on the sword.

This sword mark has the power to absorb external forces.

As long as the external force cannot break the body of the Dragon Subduing Sword in one fell swoop, the force will be absorbed by the sword mark and used by the Dragon Subduing Sword instead.

The Snow Drinking Knife, the Peerless Sword, the Hero Sword and other magical weapons that were used to forge the Dragon Subduing Sword are all ancient secret treasures without exception. They are unprecedentedly tough, and have been tempered by the divine fire of the ancient mythical beast, the Fire Kirin, to the point of being indestructible.

It was the rare forging material and process of the Dragon Subduing Sword that gave Huang Sixi the confidence that no matter how many lightning strikes, they could all be absorbed and resisted by the Dragon Subduing Sword.

As the first wave of lightning struck, Huang Sixi held his sword horizontally to intercept it. The lightning flashed like a dragon entering a cave and penetrated into the sword marks one after another.

However, the violent thunder force did not disappear. It accumulated in the sword body and rushed left and right, causing the sword body to shake violently. Even Huang Sixi's sword-holding arm and body were rebounded by the thunder force, forming overlapping shadows that only appeared during high-frequency vibrations.

In an instant, Huang Sixi's body became blurred, as if it had turned into a row of afterimages. He immediately swung his sword, and lightning burst out from the sword mark, turning into a dense crackling lightning pattern, falling from the top of the mountain.

This lightning pattern fell straight down the mountainside, and actually split all the trees, flowers and plants within a radius of dozens of feet into black ashes.

Huang Sixi saw this scene and immediately turned towards the foot of the mountain where Hou Xibai and others were standing, and shouted loudly: "Quickly evacuate the lake island, otherwise your lives will be in danger!"

Without waiting for Huang Sixi's reminder, Hou Xibai, An Long, Zhou Laotan, Jin Huanzhen and others had already retreated quickly, leaping onto the warship on the lake one after another.

Only Shang Xiufang was still standing there in a daze, because she was far away from Huang Sixi and could not hear the conversation between Huang Sixi and An Yuqing, but she could see Shi Qingxuan being swallowed by the vortex of true energy. She wanted to see if Shi Qingxuan could escape. She also did not believe that Huang Sixi would really strike her with lightning, so she stayed there.

When the beautiful lady passed by her, she grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the island.

In a moment, the lake island was empty.

Shi Zhixuan was the last one to evacuate. He overheard the entire communication between Huang Sixi and An Yuqing and was very clear about Shi Qingxuan's situation. However, since Shi Qingxuan fell into the vortex of true qi, she kept looking at Huang Sixi and never paid any attention to him.

He knew better than to get involved.

At this moment, he was standing on a piece of dead wood, floating on the lake, looking into the distance at Huang Sixi on the top of the mountain, who was using the Dragon Subduing Sword to absorb the continuously falling lightning and was providing strict protection for Shi Qingxuan's ascension.

He thought sadly: "Xuan'er is blessed by the dragon to this extent. It doesn't matter whether I am by her side to take care of her or not!"

No matter where Shi Qingxuan is about to ascend to, and whether Huang Sixi can meet Shi Qingxuan again in the future, Shi Qingxuan probably only has Huang Sixi in her heart.

All Shi Zhixuan did was not to interfere or disturb them. He jumped across the lake, a few miles away, and landed in the woods on the shore, disappearing like that.

Look at the top of the mountain again.

Huang Sixi kept waving the Dragon Subduing Sword. Whenever a wave of lightning fell from the sky, he would use the sword mark to absorb it and then strike it out.

After dozens of waves of this, all the trees on the entire lake island had been chopped down.

There are tens of thousands of people standing on the lakeshore. Looking out at the lake island from afar, they suddenly see a bare, black peak. On the top of the peak, Huang Sixi is standing alone, holding up his magic sword, slashing the thunder and lightning. His figure is like a god from heaven, fighting against the power of the sky.

Most of the tens of thousands of people were Mohe warriors. Inspired by Huang Sixi's courage to fight against the gods, they knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and worshiped, and shouted in unison: "God of War! God of War! God of War!"

The sound shook the sky.

'Dirty Hands' Maji and 'Samo Gang Leader' Jing Kang had long been intimidated by Huang Sixi's magical powers. When the two men fled to the shore, they knelt on the ground and shouted along with tens of thousands of Mohe warriors.

Hou Xibai, An Long, Zhou Laotan, Jin Huanzhen, Madam Meiyan and Shang Xiufang stood among the crowd, watching intently the spectacular fight between Huang Sixi and thunder and lightning.

The only person present was Bohai King Bai Ziting, who quietly walked to the back of the crowd, staring at the top of the lake island with resentment in his eyes, hoping desperately that Huang Sixi would die in the lightning.
