Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 68: Time to Return
Huang Sixi had just inherited the "Shangqing Sword Technique" of the Xiandu School and decided to practice it.

He stood up and walked towards Cen Qisi's body, pulled out the iron sword of the leader, wiped the blood off first, and then threw the iron sword into the air.

When the iron sword reached his head, Huang Sixi suddenly drew out the Golden Snake Sword, used the tip of the sword to twist the iron sword, and swung it forward. The iron sword flew out with a whistling sound, like a spiral dart, and after making a turn several feet away, it flew back.

'Snapped! '

Huang Sixi caught the iron sword steadily.

At this time, he held an iron sword in his left hand and a golden snake sword in his right hand. The two swords, one long and one short, echoed each other and protected each other. The defense was extremely tight and the offense was fierce and ruthless, which could be said to complement each other.

In fact, holding the sword with both hands is also the essence of "Shangqing Sword Technique".

The "Liangyi Sword Technique" created by Taoist Huang Mu was also imitated from the "Shangqing Sword Technique". For warriors who prefer to use swords, these two sword techniques are both profound works.

However, Huang Sixi practiced the "Shangqing Sword Technique" only on a whim.

After he played with the swords for a while, he soon lost interest.

He thought to himself: "When I compete with martial arts masters, it is most appropriate to use the Dragon Subduing Palm alone. This palm is extremely powerful and can drive the enemy away quickly. When encountering a large group of enemy soldiers besieging me, the Golden Snake Sword combined with the Jade Bee Needle will have a wider killing range!

As for the two short weapons, the Iron Sword and the Killing Saber, they are more suitable for long-distance raids. I don't need to use both hands to wield the swords, which would be cumbersome. Therefore, this "Shangqing Sword Technique" is of little use to me."

In actual combat, the "Shangqing Sword Technique" did not help Huang Sixi much, but it was beneficial for him to integrate the martial arts of hundreds of schools, so it was not completely without merit.

He subconsciously thought of the naughty old boy Zhou Botong in the Legend of the Condor Heroes era. His left-right fighting technique was also about attacking from both sides, which was actually similar to the "Shangqing Sword Technique".

However, Taoist Master Jutan, who practices the "Shangqing Sword Technique", is somewhat inferior in internal strength.

Huang Sixi inherited all the martial arts from the Jiesha Knife, but his internal strength did not change at all.

In the entire "Sword Stained with Royal Blood" era, the only two people who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts are Mu Renqing and Iron Sword Taoist.

If Huang Sixi wants to learn more advanced martial arts, he must leave this era and go to a new world.

When he found the Golden Snake Sword in the deserted cave of Mount Hua, he discovered a way to break through the wall.

The Golden Snake Sword is still vivid in my mind:

"A relic of a famous master: special for breaking walls. After inheriting the Five Poison Sect's Golden Snake Sword, the Beggars' Sect's Golden Bowl, the Iron Sword Sect's Iron Sword, and the Xiandu Sect's Killing Saber, you can break through walls with the sword and enter the next arena. If the Golden Snake Sword is damaged, breaking walls will be permanently ineffective."

Now that Huang Sixi has mastered four sets of martial arts, does it mean that he can activate the wall breaking technique at any time?
He put away the killing knife, and with excitement, he held the Golden Snake Sword horizontally to look around.

I saw that the words on the sword had collapsed.

Only the congealed bloodstain two inches above the hilt was still flashing.

He gathered his breath and focused, watching the blood, and suddenly found a line of small words floating in the light.

“The world of Sword Rain is all here!”

Just as he finished reading these eight words, his body was suddenly covered by a layer of light curtain. The Golden Snake Sword in his hand was closely connected to the light curtain, as if they were one.

He clearly realized that as long as he moved his wrist and swung the sword, he would be able to break through the light curtain and escape in an instant.

But he didn't want to leave now, as he still had a lot of things to do.

He suddenly closed his eyes and dropped the Golden Snake Sword.

The light curtain also disappeared.

However, when he picked up the Golden Snake Sword again, the light from the bloodstain on the sword was no longer as strong as at the beginning, and was gradually dimming.

He couldn't help but be frightened: "This door that breaks the wall won't last long. Every other day, the sword light will weaken a little. When the sword light is completely extinguished, the door that breaks the wall will also close and disappear. Then I won't be able to leave it anymore."

Judging from the speed at which the sword light decayed, he could not stay there for long.

He immediately felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have been curious enough to trigger the appearance of the wall-breaking door, thus putting himself in a desperate situation.

But if he doesn't trigger it, how can he know the existence of the wall-breaking door?
This step is essential, and there is nothing wrong with it.

His top priority now is to arrange his funeral affairs and break through the wall and leave as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Huang Sixi put away the Golden Snake Sword and walked towards He Tieshou.

He Tieshou was looking forward to it, but Huang Sixi said directly: "Although I founded the Jianglong Society, I will not interfere in the affairs of the society in the future. I will not care what this gang will become in the future!"

He Tieshou couldn't understand: "If Mr. Huang doesn't take care of the gang affairs, what will you do in the future? You can't just live in seclusion for the rest of your life, right?"

She suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, I joined the Dragon Subduing Society not to establish a career. If you want to retire, then I will also retire from the martial arts world. This world is in such a mess, it's really annoying. It's better to retire to the countryside and live a more happy life."

Huang Sixi said: "I don't want to retire."

He Tieshou felt uncomfortable and thought, if you don’t want me to join, you can just say it frankly.

"This is strange. The world is so small. Mr. Huang doesn't want to retire, nor does he want to get involved in the world. Do you want to go to heaven?"

Huang Sixi thought, that was almost like heaven.

"I'm going to Liaodong soon, and I won't be back once I leave."

"Ah! You...you are going to assassinate the Tartar again?"

He Tieshou suddenly became nervous. She knew that Huang Sixi was a martial arts master, so strong that he had no rivals in the world. However, Liaodong was a dangerous place, and even Huang Sixi might fall into the trap and die.

She said anxiously, "Mr. Huang, you have already stabbed a Tartar emperor to death and avenged the people of the world. There is no need to take risks again. Even if you want to kill the Tartar, you can ask the brothers of the Dragon Subduing Society to do it. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

Huang Sixi smiled and said, "Because I am an assassin. Besides, my life is life, but the lives of my brothers are not life? Killing people is my best skill, so naturally I will do it."

He Tieshou stepped forward and grabbed Huang Sixi's hand, continuing to persuade him: "Can't you stay in the Central Plains? You are now famous all over the world, and people follow you wherever you go. You can live a good life in peace. Why bother with yourself?"

"I'm just informing you, not asking you to make the decision for me."

Huang Sixi gently pushed her away: "I came to pursue you just to tell you whether I will have anything to do with Jianglong anymore. I can't guarantee that Jianglong will always abide by chivalrous behavior in the future. If you still want to join Jianglong, it's up to you."

Huang Sixi hopes that He Tieshou will return to Yunnan and continue to serve as the leader of the Five Poisons.

The left and right protectors Pan Xiuda and Cen Qisi who had participated in the rebellion earlier were killed on the spot. He Hongyao went to Huashan and would never leave Xia Xueyi's tomb for the rest of her life. Those escaped Five Poison Sect members had no status in the sect and posed no threat at all.

Therefore, He Tieshou's position as the leader is still secure.

She has lived in Yunnan for generations and is extremely powerful in the local Yi tribes. As long as she does not interfere in the disputes in the Central Plains, she will live a very peaceful life in the future.

"Mr. Huang came after me specifically, probably because he didn't want me to get involved."

He Tieshou said bitterly: "I will return to Yunnan and never come to the Central Plains again." "Then see you later!"

Huang Sixi turned around and left without any reluctance.

Seeing him walking further and further away, He Tieshou felt empty and lost inside, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

She suddenly took a few steps forward and shouted to Huang Sixi, "Mr. Huang, can you really bear to abandon a weak woman like me?"

"That depends on whether you are really weak, Master He!"

Huang Sixi didn't turn around, and replied to her lightly: "In my eyes, you are a female man!"

"Tomboy?"

He Tieshou savored it for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter again.

Until Huang Sixi's figure disappeared in the woods, He Tieshou wiped away her tears, composed herself, and walked towards her hometown.

She thought to herself, "Mr. Huang said that he might not die if he went to Liaodong to assassinate the Tartar. His martial arts skills are so high that he can still escape even if surrounded by thousands of troops! I will go home and wait for his news. When he returns to the Central Plains, I will come to find him. Then I will still ask him if he is willing to let me join his Dragon Conquering Society!"

Huang Sixi couldn't hear her thoughts and returned to the riverside alone.

At this time, the river was already filled with sails like clouds.

Just as Huang Sixi expected, Li Yan had already led the fleet to meet up.

At this moment, the leaders of the Dragon Subduing Society, led by Li Yan, all walked down from the bow of the boat and moved to the shore to wait for Huang Sixi in a lively manner.

When Huang Sixi finally showed up after much anticipation, Hu Guinan was the first to see him and shouted, "My husband is back!"

He rushed over first and said excitedly: "My husband, you have kept it a secret from me. When we first met in the ruined temple, I was surprised that you have unparalleled skills, but why are you not famous in the martial arts world? Oh, I am so stupid. I should have thought of your identity earlier!"

The crowd quickly gathered around Huang Sixi, and when they heard Hu Guinan's complaints, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

When the laughter stopped, everyone clasped their fists and bowed, "Greetings, Chief!"

Huang Sixi glanced over and found that there were hundreds of people gathered there, most of them were strangers, but they were all famous and well-known heroes in the martial arts world.

In the martial arts world, morality comes first.

These heroes of the martial arts world admired the reputation of the Dragon Subduing Hero and were willing to join him and serve him. Some were even generous enough to spend all their wealth to fully support the Dragon Subduing Society.

As a military advisor, Li Yan introduced them to Huang Sixi one by one.

"Sir, this is Mr. Meng Bofei, 'Gai Mengchang'!"

"This is Mr. Jiao Gongli, the 'Iron-backed Golden Turtle'!"

"This is Mr. Zheng Qiyun, the 'Blue Sea Whale'. Mr. Zheng has not joined the Dragon Subduing Society. When Brother Hu went to Jiangnan to deliver a letter, Mr. Zheng happened to be there, so he went west with the ship and made a special trip to visit you, my husband..."

In addition to these senior martial arts figures, the Dragon Subduing Society has established branches in more than ten provinces within the Ming Dynasty, and the leaders of each branch have a certain reputation in the martial arts world.

It was a rare occasion that all the leaders of the Dragon Subduing Society were present today. Li Yan suggested that they go to the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang City to gather together, and Huang Sixi agreed.

Everyone applauded and said that they should send out invitations to heroes and call on fellow martial artists from all over the world to attend the banquet and join in the celebration.

However, although the idea is good, it is simply impossible to achieve.

Hong Niangzi controls the intelligence of the Dragon Subduing Society. She revealed to everyone:

"At the beginning of the year, Li Zicheng called himself the 'King of Xinshun' and Zhang Xianzhong called himself the 'King of Daxi'. The two tigers fought in Hubei. Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and fled from Hubei to Sichuan. Li Zicheng was very powerful. Chongzhen ordered the Ming general Sun Chuanting to go out of Tongguan to suppress them. Li Zicheng led his troops northward, cut off the food supply during the heavy rain, and defeated the Ming army.

At present, the Shun army has already entered Tongguan and killed Sun Chuanting. Now the Shun army has the momentum to sweep across the country. The army is so powerful that it can already threaten the capital. At present, all the cities in the north are under martial law. The land route is no longer accessible. It is difficult for us to send out the heroic invitation!"

Even if the invitation to heroes is successfully delivered, it is still a big problem for heroes from all over the country to cross the border to Wuchang City, so it is better not to invite them. It is enough for the brothers of the Jianglong Society to gather at the Yellow Crane Tower.

Huang Sixi listened to Hong Niangzi's description of the situation and thought that history was still proceeding along its original trajectory. Once Sun Chuanting was killed, it would mean the imminent demise of the Ming Dynasty. Li Zicheng's Shun army would soon be able to attack the capital and force Chongzhen to hang himself.

He also thought that since Zhang Xianzhong retreated to Sichuan, the military disaster he encountered in the county town on the border between Sichuan and Yunnan should be related to this.

"Are there any movements from the Tartars?"

he asked suddenly.

"Sir, the Tartars have not used their troops against the Central Plains in the past five years!"

Hong Niangzi said, "However, at the beginning of the year, the Tartars and the Ming army fought a bloody battle in Songshan outside the Great Wall. The Tartar commander was Nurhaci's fifteenth son Duoduo, and the Ming army commander was the executioner Hong Chengchou. Chongzhen allocated more than 100,000 troops to him, and sent all the elite troops from the nine frontiers out of Shanhaiguan to fight outside the Great Wall!"

Huang Sixi frowned when he heard Hong Chengchou's name: "Did we win or lose this battle?"

Without waiting for Hong Niangzi to reply, the heroes of the nearby Dragon Subduing Society began to curse.

"When has the Ming army ever won a war against the Tartars?"

"Master, since the rise of the Tartars in Liaodong, the only victory without loss was when you showed your might in Shengjing and destroyed the Tartar emperor!"

"That Hong Chengchou is a pig, leading the elite troops of the Nine Frontiers to be killed by the Tartars!"

"After suffering defeat, Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Tartars. How despicable!"

"Chief Commander, I heard that after the Tartar prince Duoduo annihilated the elite troops of the Nine Frontiers, he vowed to attack the Central Plains again, and now he has begun to prepare for war!"

When Huang Sixi killed Huang Taiji and Dorgon, he curbed the Tartars' plan to invade the Central Plains from the south, but he could not stop the Tartars from fighting outside the Great Wall.

The battle fought by Hong Chengchou was called the "Battle of Songjin", which was a line of defense built by the Ming court outside the Great Wall.

After the failure of this battle, the Ming court's only remaining defense in Liaodong was Wu Sangui's troops in Shanhaiguan. From then on, they could only retreat and defend, and could no longer send troops to Liaodong.

Historically, the "Battle of Songjin" broke out between the 13th and 15th year of Chongzhen, and lasted for two years.

Today, the "Battle of Songjin" has still not been avoided, but the date is different. It has been fought until this year, lasting one year longer than the original history.

However, no matter how the Tartars win, Huang Sixi will not let the Tartar nobles reap the credit.

After participating in the Yellow Crane Tower Uprising, Huang Sixi will set off for Liaodong to assassinate the Tatar generals who participated in the "Battle of Songjin".

This was the last thing he had to do before leaving.

　I'll go to "Sword Rain" to get something first, and then come back to write Master Jin's martial arts. The main storyline of this book is a martial arts novel and a martial arts movie, which are interspersed. This is a two-in-one chapter. Today's update is still 8,000 words. I'm asking for monthly tickets from my brothers.
