Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 52: Killing Knife
After Hu Guinan entered the stone gate, he first used his sword to cut off the iron chains on Taoist Huang Mu.

But Taoist Huangmu still couldn't move freely.

It was because an iron hook pierced the scapula behind Taoist Huang Mu's shoulder, and he lost all his martial arts skills. Not to mention performing light skills, he even had difficulty walking.

Hu Guinan couldn't help thinking, "My husband is really good at predicting things. This old Taoist has difficulty moving. If no one carries him, he won't be able to climb out of the cave even if there are no poisonous snakes blocking his way."

Hu Guinan quickly woke up Taoist Huang Mu and took out the realgar medicine to drive away snakes.

Taoist Huang Mu was originally drowsy. Although he heard the noise, he thought it was the Five Poison Sect members coming to deliver food, so he was unwilling to open his eyes.

When he heard Hu Guinan's polite voice, he immediately woke up: "Who is your Excellency?"

Hu Guinan replied, "Of course it's the person who saved you! Master Huang, there's no need to say more. First change into the medicine clothes, then apply the snake medicine. After we escape from the Poison Dragon Cave, we'll talk in detail!"

"Good! Good!"

Taoist Huang Mu had a strong will to survive and applied realgar himself.

Hu Guinan did not forget Huang Sixi's instructions and took the opportunity to search for the weapons hidden here.

But after Hu Guinan searched the entire stone prison, he only found a coarse cloth package stored in the dragon's mouth above the stone dragon statue.

Apart from this package, there was nothing else in the stone prison.

Taoist Huang Mu noticed that Hu Guinan was behaving strangely, and asked hurriedly, "Young man, what are you looking for?"

Hu Guinan said, "Looking for weapons! Are there any magical weapons stored here?"

Taoist Huang Mu pointed at the package and said, "I can tell you clearly that apart from my two killing swords, there are absolutely no other weapons here!"

Hu Guinan was puzzled: "The Five Poison Sect has imprisoned you here, why didn't they take away your sword?"

Taoist Huang Mu smiled bitterly: "They detained me to interrogate the whereabouts of Xia Xueyi, the Golden Snake Prince. They didn't care about my things at all and just threw them into the dragon's mouth!"

He seemed to realize something and asked, "This stone prison used to be a treasure room. The dragon's mouth was used to store the Five Poison Sect's most precious treasures, the Golden Snake Sword and the Golden Snake Cone! Young man, are you here for the Golden Snake Sword? To tell you the truth, the Golden Snake Sword and the Golden Snake Cone were stolen by Xia Xueyi twenty years ago. I'm afraid you've come here for nothing!"

"What Golden Snake Sword or Golden Snake Cone? We are here to save you!"

Hu Guinan felt unhappy and thought that Taoist Huang Mu was making random guesses about people's minds.

He didn't want to talk to Taoist Huang Mu anymore, so he took off the package and shouted to the outside, "Sir, there are no magical weapons hidden here, only two killing swords!"

Huang Sixi said with a smile: "What I'm looking for is the knife for stopping killing, take it out!"

Hu Guinan was overjoyed, thinking that she had not let her husband down and that she could now complete the task smoothly.

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

Taoist Huang Mu, however, was full of doubts. He thought that the Sword of Abstinence from Killing was just a token of the Xiandu Sect and was definitely not some magical weapon. So why did these two men risk their lives and break into the Snake Path at any cost just to find a couple of pieces of scrap metal?

He also knew that escaping was the most important thing now, so he kept his doubts in his heart.

After he had skillfully applied the realgar, Hu Guinan carried him on his back and rushed out of the stone gate.

At this time, Huang Sixi had driven the wild bees to open up a new path among the snakes, but the path was covered with a black swarm of bees.

Taoist Huang Mu felt unsafe and asked, "Will these bees sting people?"

Hu Guinan said confidently: "The bees that my husband summoned are definitely good bees! Don't worry, they only sting poisonous snakes, not us!"

Taoist Huang Mu felt relieved: "That's good! That's good!"

As a result, when Hu Guinan stepped into the swarm of bees, wild bees swarmed over his body and stung him everywhere. Taoist Huang Mu suddenly felt an itchy pain all over his body. His scapula was pierced and he could not use his internal force to suppress it. He could not help but shout out: "These bees don't recognize me, I am a Taoist priest, they are going to sting me to death!"

Hu Guinan rolled his eyes at him and thought to himself, we saved your life, so what if we stung you a few times? Why are you screaming and yelling?
The snake path was only ten feet long. In a blink of an eye, Hu Guinan had rushed out carrying Taoist Huang Mu on his back.

Huang Sixi waved his hand and said, "You carry Sect Leader Huang out first, I'll cover your rear!"

Hu Guinan continued to run forward without saying a word.

He didn't stop until he was out of the cave.

After waiting for a while, Huang Sixi also led the swarm of bees out.

The wild bees scattered when they got outside the cave.

The poisonous bees raised by Huang Sixi returned to the beehive at his call. Although more than half of their number was lost, they still completed the task excellently.

Huang Sixi carried the beehive on his back and signaled Hu Guinan: "Let's go and leave Lingshe Mountain first!"

The three of them rode non-stop until dark, when they finally found a deserted forest to rest.

Hu Guinan lit a fire and roasted the game.

Huang Sixi held two killing knives in his hands and watched intently.

These two knives are ordinary daggers made of fine steel, and the material is far different from that of iron swords.

After looking at it for a while, Huang Sixi handed the Jiesha knife in his left hand to Taoist Huang Mu: "This dagger is of no use to me, I'll give it back to you!"

He raised the knife in his right hand and waved it towards Taoist Huang Mu: "This knife will be of great use to me. I hope Master Huang can give it to me as a gift!"

"It was fortunate that Mr. Huang helped me escape from the tiger's mouth. Not to mention the two killing swords, even if we gather all the weapons of the Xiandu Sect and give them to Mr. Huang, it would be fine."

Taoist Huang Mu first expressed his gratitude, and then asked, "But I am a little confused. This sword of abstention from killing came from Taoist Jutan, the 14th generation leader of my sect. It is just a symbolic relic and is not valuable. Mr. Huang, it must not be of much use to you. Do you have any connection with Taoist Jutan?"

"As for the origins, there are indeed some!"

Huang Sixi perfunctorily said, "It's just that I'm not studying in Xiandu Sect, so I don't know much about Taoist Jutan's past. I'd like to ask Master Huang to help introduce him."

"If Mr. Huang is willing to listen, then I will start from the beginning!"

Taoist Huang Mu is about sixty years old. Although he has experienced many hardships, he still maintains the solemn bearing of a sect leader, and he speaks in a very straight manner.

"This Taoist priest Jutan was actually a martial arts figure from a hundred years ago. Back then, his swordsmanship was unrivaled in the world, but he was also arrogant and would kill people with his sword at will. He made enemies all over the martial arts world, which eventually led to all the major sword sects gathering at Hengshan to duel with him in a round-robin duel!"

"What will be the outcome of this battle?" Huang Sixi actually knew the answer.

"Alas, how could he defeat the entire martial arts world by himself? Although he challenged eighteen opponents in a row, he was exhausted in the end. He did not want to be humiliated by his enemies, so he drew out his dagger and killed himself!" Taoist Huang Mu pointed at the killing knife in Huang Sixi's hand:

"This knife is the dagger that Taoist Jutan used to commit suicide! After that battle, the Xiandu Sect suffered a great loss of vitality. The fifteenth generation leader of our sect established the sect rules that from now on, all disciples of the Xiandu Sect will be given a dagger named 'The Abstinence from Killing Knife', which means 'strictly abstain from killing without permission, cherish treasures, and commit suicide when justice cannot prevail'!"

This sixteen-character sect rule is to strictly prohibit Xiandu disciples from killing innocent people, in order to prevent them from repeating the mistakes of Taoist Jutan. If any disciple dares to violate this sect rule, he must use the "no-killing knife" to commit suicide to apologize.

This is actually a manifestation of the chivalrous man breaking the law with force.

The more advanced the martial arts skills of a sect, the stricter the rules and regulations.

However, the rules of the sect are the rules of the sect. Whether the martial arts masters are willing to abide by them is another matter.
