Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 390: Bingjie and Ghost Dao

Everyone on the shore was watching, and everyone was looking at Huang Sixi holding the sword to control the thunder.

Huang Sixi, however, was concentrating on protecting Shi Qingxuan.

He didn't remember how many bolts of lightning the Dragon Subduing Sword had absorbed, but as long as any lightning approached the Qi vortex, it would be intercepted by the Dragon Subduing Sword.

He was always facing the direction of the vortex, and once extended his spirit outward, trying to peek into the environment inside the vortex, but unfortunately he was blocked by a strange barrier and could not see anything clearly.

But soon, An Yuqing's voice sounded in his ears again: "I have already guided this girl, her body is fine, you can rest assured! When you break the void in the future, as long as I am still practicing in the cave paradise of Jiuxian Mountain, I will be able to sense the gap in the void you broke, and then I will use the cave paradise pendant to guide your soul to ascend!"

Huang Sixi was stunned: "There is also a Nine Immortals Mountain in the Central Plains. Is it any different from where you live?"

An Yuqing knew that he was curious about the world after his ascension, so she introduced with a smile: "When I first ascended, I thought I had arrived at some kind of celestial palace, but it turned out to be a place called 'Middle Earth'. The difference is that I returned to the ancient Shang Dynasty Middle Earth!"

When Huang Sixi heard the word "Shang Dynasty", he immediately connected it with the Conferred Gods. He wondered if the place where An Yuqing and Shi Qingxuan ascended to was the Conferred Gods?

It should be known that among the immortals in Conferred Gods, Guangchengzi's cave residence is located in Jiuxian Mountain. He asked: "Is the blessed cave where you live opened up by Guangchengzi, the teacher of Huangdi?"

An Yuqing replied: "Even though I live in the Yin and Shang Dynasty, Huangdi was a wise man who lived one or two thousand years ago. I have never seen the true appearance of Huangdi and Guangchengzi, but there are traces of their master and apprentice spread here!"

Huang Sixi further sought confirmation: "Then did Huangdi and Guangchengzi really exist?"

An Yuqing sighed softly: "The founder of my sect once listened to the teachings of Guangchengzi and Huangdi, and received the holy favor of their master and disciple, but I don't have such a blessing! There are Qigong masters everywhere, and real people can be seen flying everywhere, but demons are also rampant. I have to go out of the mountains to kill demons regularly. If the cave pendant is damaged in the fight, I am afraid I will not be able to guide you then!"

Huang Sixi would never abandon his physical body and ascend to the upper realm with only his soul.

He has the talent for breaking through walls. Judging from his past experience of breaking through walls, he has always been traveling through different planes of Middle-earth. It may be possible for him to break through the walls and reach the Conferred God plane in the future.

Therefore, even if he combined the last part of "Heavenly Demon Strategy" and mastered the method of "breaking the void", he would not ascend through the gap in the void unless he was sure that his physical body would not be destroyed.

Of course he would not tell An Yuqing about his plan.

He only asked: "Senior, where you are, there are immortals, gods and demons. Will Sister Xuan be in a precarious situation?"

Hearing that he was so concerned about Shi Qingxuan, An Yuqing immediately comforted her, "As long as you are in the blessed land, the demons will never be able to attack you. This girl has just ascended to heaven, so she can stay in Jiuxian Mountain to practice peacefully for at least sixty years. Even if she goes out of the mountain to kill demons in the future, I will protect her. Don't worry! What you have to worry about now is yourself. You need to prepare for the future ascension!"

Although An Yuqing could not meet Huang Sixi in person, she determined from their brief interaction that Huang Sixi was a man who valued friendship, because even she herself would not easily give away a treasure like the Five-Colored Stone.

When she was guiding Xiang Yutian, she didn't say anything nonsense, but gave Huang Sixi many instructions and made detailed arrangements for Huang Sixi's future ascension: "You can practice martial arts to the state of unity between man and nature, and you should have studied the four great books. When these four books are at their peak, they can produce immortal fetuses and demon seeds, allowing your spirit to detect the transformation of life and death, and be reborn in another body. Even without my guidance, as long as you practice the four books to the extreme, you can also be reborn in another body after you ascend!"

Huang Sixi noticed that the Qi vortex began to narrow and shrink, and immediately reminded: "This gap in the void is about to be closed!"

"I know, please don't interrupt me again! Before the gap is closed, I can tell you everything I need to tell you!" An Yuqing kept talking:

"Possession means taking over the body of a dead person. If you are unwilling to do so, there are two other ways you can take. One is to dissolve the body and reincarnate, allowing the soul to be reborn as a baby. I have a mysterious skill of wisdom here. As long as you practice it to perfection, then when you are reincarnated as an adult, you can awaken your past life memories! Sister Qianqian took this path!
Another way is to cultivate ghost immortality, directly abandon the flesh and blood body, and focus on cultivating the soul. As long as the cultivation reaches a certain level, the original body can be recreated. I follow this method. Now I will teach you all these two mysterious skills, in case you need them..."

When An Yuqing said this, the Qi vortex had completely closed, and with a "whoosh!", it disappeared without a trace.

The chaotic weather above the mountain top with lightning, thunder and strong winds suddenly returned to calm.

Huang Sixi stood there as if frozen, looking up at the direction of the vortex in the sky, lost in thought, not moving for a long time.

In his heart, he was repeatedly reciting the two profound skills taught by An Yuqing.

Just now, before the gap in the void closed, An Yuqing used the mysterious spiritual secret method of telepathy to imprint the two profound skills in Huang Sixi's mind.

The two mysterious skills are "The Art of Soldiers" and "The Way of Ghosts", both of which are top-notch immortal skills.

Huang Sixi was dumbfounded after reading them, because the thresholds for these two profound skills were too high. One had to practice to the level of Shattered Void, form an immortal fetus or a demon seed, and one's own soul had to reach the level of being able to travel out of the body without getting hurt before one could practice.

A few months ago, after Huang Sixi combined the "Cihang Sword Classic" in the Temple of War God, his spirit reached the level of wandering, but he did not condense the immortal fetus or demon seed, and his soul could not leave his body.

He had to return the original volume of "The Heavenly Demon Strategy" obtained from the Heavenly Lord Xi Ying back to the Temple of the God of War, so that the four great books could be completely combined before he could study An Yuqing's gift.

But then again, he won't give up his physical body, so whether he transforms into a soldier or switches to the ghost path, it seems to have no effect on him.

He changed his mind and thought: "I will break through the wall and leave in the future, but Qian'er doesn't have such ability. She can only ascend to the upper world by breaking through the void. I can leave the "Weapon Solution Method" and "Ghost Path" to Qian'er so that she can prepare for emergencies!"

Although Huang Sixi has found the dragon veins and dragon heads of all dynasties, which can stop the flow of time in various rivers and lakes, but with the opening of the 'Broken Void', when Huang Sixi travels to a new river and lake, there is a great probability that he will enter the river of immortal cultivation.

The time span of cultivating immortals in the world is very long, often dozens or even hundreds of years.

Huang Sixi's dragon vein and dragon head cannot last too long, at most one or two thousand years, and then it will become ineffective.

What if the dragon vein and dragon head become completely ineffective while Huang Sixi is wandering in other martial arts worlds, causing time to begin to flow in the Tang Dynasty martial arts world? Kankan cannot wait for Huang Sixi to return and has to break through the void and ascend to the upper realm. Then Kankan can use "The Art of Soldiers" and "The Way of Ghosts" to practice safely in the upper realm.

As Huang Sixi pondered over this, his body returned to normal.

He came to his senses, reached out and grabbed the Dragon Sword, holding it upright in front of him.

I saw that the originally dark golden sword body was actually covered with a layer of lightning patterns, which was a change that had never happened before.

"Huh? What's up with these lightning patterns? Could it be that the Dragon Subduing Sword Mark didn't dissipate all the lightning it absorbed?"

Huang Sixi was greatly surprised. He immediately used his true energy and poured it into the body of the Dragon Subduing Sword. Then he raised the sword and swung it, releasing a tangible and intangible sword energy.

The sword energy flew into the air five or six feet away and slashed onto a charred rock half a person's height.

At the moment when the sword energy hit the charred stone, there was a "boom!" sound, and lightning flashed in the sword energy, making the whole sword energy look like a thunder sword, clanging on the charred stone, as if struck by thunder, and directly split the charred stone into a pool of black ash.

Huang Sixi couldn't help but get excited when he saw this power.

After being baptized by the heavenly thunder, his Dragon Subduing Sword seemed to have been forged and tempered, and was endowed with lightning sword power. He was now using the Dragon Subduing Sword Qi to amplify the power of lightning, and the lethality had increased several times.

When he figured this out, he repeatedly used the sword energy of the Dragon Subduing Sword, and each sword energy could release lightning. He couldn't help but laugh up to the sky, thinking: "My Dragon Subduing Sword has become the Dragon Subduing Thunder Sword. Now when I wield the sword, it is truly as powerful as thunder. If I fight with masters of the Grandmaster level again, I only need to use the lightning sword energy to trap them to death on the spot!"

With a "swish!" sound, Huang Sixi sheathed his sword, then looked around and found that the huge lake island was empty.

He looked far out over the island again and saw Hou Xibai, Shang Xiufang, Zhou Laotan, Jin Huanzhen and others all staying on the lakeshore. He then used his lightness skills to leap away.

As he flew over the lake, the little dragon jumped up from the bottom of the lake and curled up at his feet, allowing him to easily move sideways to the shore.

Huang Sixi had just stood on the shore when he sensed a man and a woman evacuating in panic from a nearby hill.

Huang Sixi was not unfamiliar with the couple. The man was Ba Fenghan from the Turkic region, and the woman was Fu Junyu from Goguryeo.

Previously, Huang Sixi killed the Goguryeo envoys at the foot of Longquan City. Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu were the bodyguards of the envoys. Because they could not guess Huang Sixi's attitude towards Goguryeo, they followed them all the way to Jingpo Lake.

The two of them observed the situation on the lake and island throughout the whole process. Huang Sixi's power in controlling thunder and lightning frightened the two of them. When Huang Sixi jumped to the shore of the lake, his mental power also swept towards the vicinity at the same time.

Huang Sixi's cultivation had reached the realm of unity between man and nature, and his spirit could cover an area of several miles when it traveled outside. Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu were on the edge of this force and were shocked by Huang Sixi's spirit. They subconsciously fled backwards, but were locked down by Huang Sixi's spirit.

"You two, come over here and talk!"

Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu felt as if Huang Sixi had struck them with a bolt of lightning. They were so frightened that they dared not resist and turned back to Huang Sixi obediently.

After Huang Sixi and the other two stood still, he asked, "Who is in charge of Goguryeo now?"

Fu Junyu said respectfully: "The king of my country is Gao Jianwu, he controls most of the power of my Goguryeo country!"

Ba Fenghan then added: "Although Gao Jianwu is the king, the most powerful person in Goguryeo is Grandmaster Fu Cailin. Any national policy formulated by Gao Jianwu needs to be approved by Fu Cailin, otherwise it cannot be implemented!"

Huang Sixi nodded to the two of them after hearing this and said, "Go back and tell Gao Jianwu and Fu Cailin that Liaodong is our hereditary territory in the Central Plains and no one is allowed to interfere. Tell Gao Jianwu and Fu Cailin to shrink the territory of Goguryeo back to the peninsula. If they refuse, I will go to the Goguryeo palace in person and talk to them face to face!"

Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu replied in unison: "We will pass on the words of the True Dragon Khan to them both intactly!"

"very good!"

Huang Sixi withdrew his dragon-subduing aura and waved to Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu: "You can go now!"

Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu did not stop for a moment and ran towards Goguryeo.

Wait until the two figures disappear among the mountains and forests.

Huang Sixi also turned his gaze back to Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen beside him: "The matter here is over. I will keep my promise and set you free. You can leave now!"

Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen clasped their fists together and said, "Thank you, True Dragon Khan, for your leniency. From now on, my husband and I will retire from the martial arts world and never interfere in any affairs of the Central Earth Martial Arts World again!"

After saying this, they left hand in hand.

Huang Sixi looked at Hou Xibai again: "Where is your master? And that 'Fat Jia' Anlong, where are they?"

Hou Xibai smiled bitterly: "Master has gone far away. Before he left, he sent me a message and asked me to inform the True Dragon Khan that Master and Anlong would also live in seclusion and would never show up in the Central Plains martial arts world again!"

Huang Sixi glanced at Hou Xibai and said, "For the sake of Xuanmei, I believe in the promise of your master and Anlong, but if they don't keep their promise in the future, I won't be polite to them anymore!"

Hou Xibai bowed and said, "I will definitely tell Master exactly what the True Dragon Khan said! Goodbye!"

Before he left, he asked Shang Xiufang beside him, "Madam Shang, are you leaving?"

Shang Xiufang did not answer him, but asked Huang Sixi: "Where does Jiang Long Langjun plan to go in the future?"

Huang Sixi replied calmly: "Where I go has nothing to do with you!"

Shang Xiufang was immediately as if she had been defeated, her face flushed red: "Xiufang, you are asking unnecessary questions, I will leave now!"

She and Hou Xibai left the lakeshore together.

After she, Hou Xibai, Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen all left, Huang Sixi looked around and found that the beautiful lady, "Dirty Hands" Ma Ji and "Saimo Gang Leader" Jing Kang were still kneeling beside him.

Huang Sixi knew that the three of them had a close relationship with Bohai King Bai Ziting, so he asked, "Where is Bai Ziting?"

Madam Meiyan answered on his behalf: "Reporting to the True Dragon Khan, when you were resisting the thunder just now, Bai Ziting had already secretly left Jingpo Lake. He should have fled back to Longquan City..."

Before the beautiful lady finished her words, she heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar.

Huang Sixi looked into the distance and found a familiar figure leading thousands of cavalrymen heading towards Jingpo Lake.

When they reached the outskirts of Jingpo Lake, thousands of cavalrymen dismounted and knelt on the ground. The leader was a middle-aged man who shouted loudly: "I, Tiefuyu, pay my respects to the True Dragon Khan. Although I am from the Mohe tribe, I have no friendship with Bai Ziting. I have always opposed Bai Ziting's establishment of a country. Now I have chopped off Bai Ziting's head. Please forgive my Mohe tribe. The seven Mohe tribes will be loyal to their duties in the future and regard the Khan as the true emperor and never betray him!"

Thousands of cavalrymen shouted in unison: "Never betray!"

Nearly 10,000 Mohe warriors on the shore of Jingpo Lake also pledged their loyalty: "True Dragon Khan, we will never betray you!"

A few months ago, the Mohe leader Tiefuyu, the Khitan leader Abaojia, and the Uighur leader Pusa had followed Huang Sixi to capture the Turkic royal court. They witnessed Huang Sixi killing the martial arts master Bi Xuan with their own eyes, and they all submitted to Huang Sixi.

When Huang Sixi saw that Tiefuyu had killed Bai Ziting, he would naturally take over the territory of Bohai Kingdom, which happened to be adjacent to Goguryeo Kingdom.

Huang Sixi knew that Goguryeo was ambitious and had always wanted to swallow up the Central Plains, so he said to Tiefuyu: "Since your Mohe tribe will not betray you, then gather all your troops and follow me to Goguryeo to cut off Goguryeo's tentacles that are trying to get involved in Liaodong!"

Although Huang Sixi asked Ba Fenghan and Fu Junyu to convey the message, the King of Goguryeo might not give up his territory voluntarily. This country once repelled Yang Guang's Sui army and its combat power was not weaker than that of the Turks. If Huang Sixi did not hurt them, they would not obey his orders.
