Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 8 Armor
Hong Shenghai explained the whole story: "Gui Erniang is not an ordinary person, she and Sun Zhongjun are both from Huashan Sect, especially Gui Erniang, her husband is Gui Xinshu, the direct disciple of Huashan Sect Master.

Gui Xinshu's nickname is the Invincible Fist. He really has no rivals in the martial arts world. When my friends heard Gui Xinshu's name, they were so scared that their legs went weak and they didn't dare to resist at all."

Gui Xinshu was famous for his ferocity in the Central Plains martial arts world, and Gui Erniang was also famous for her fierceness.

Relying on the support of Huashan's leader Mu Renqing, the couple have always been rampant in the martial arts world and acted arrogantly and domineeringly.

Anyone who makes an enemy of this couple will be in dire straits.

"and after?"

"later……"

Hatred suddenly welled up on Hong Shenghai's face.

He was so angry that tears came out: "I knew I had caused trouble, so I fled that day and dared not show my face. Who knew that Gui Erniang and Sun Zhongjun would run to my hometown and wipe out my entire family."

He stretched out his fists and smashed them together fiercely: "They didn't even spare my 70-year-old mother and three young children. Master Bao, tell me, are these two evil women evil? Are they vicious?"

Huang Sixi said that it was simply evil to the bone and more poisonous than poison.

However, he thought in his heart that dozens of Hong Shenghai's friends were killed by Gui Erniang. It was probably because these friends were willing to be killed so that only one person would die and the family would not be harmed.

Given the style of the Gui couple, if anyone dares to escape, they will exterminate the entire family as revenge.

Hong Shenghai tried to survive and did not choose to die on the spot, which led to the annihilation of his entire family.

Even though his entire family was wiped out, Gui Erniang and Sun Zhongjun were still unwilling to let him go and continued to hunt him down all over the world.

Hong Shenghai had nowhere to go in the Central Plains and had to flee to Liaodong for refuge.

When Hong Shenghai recalled this unbearable past, he became emotionally unstable.

At this time, the water in the teapot was boiling.

"Tea please!"

Huang Sixi personally made tea and handed it to Hong Shenghai: "It turns out that Mr. Hong's trip to Liaodong was full of twists and turns. I heard that Huashan Sect is the largest sect in the Central Plains martial arts world. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to avenge this."

"As long as I can get revenge, I, Hong Shenghai, am willing to do anything!"

Hong Shenghai swore solemnly and drank the teacup in one gulp.

Putting down the cup, he clasped his fists towards Huang Sixi and said, "Master Bao is the old steward of the Bao Mansion. I hope the old man can give me some advice on how to kill Gui Erniang and the Flying Witch and avenge my mother's relatives!"

Huang Sixi continued to pour tea for him.

While giving him advice:
"It is best to use force to resolve matters in the martial arts world, but force does not necessarily refer to how powerful one's martial arts skills are! Think about it, no matter how powerful the Huashan master and his disciples are, they can only use a few moves. If they are surrounded by thousands of troops, no matter how powerful they are, they will die in the chaos!"

"Mr. Bao, what you said makes sense, but how do we get so many soldiers and horses?"

"So it won't be very useful for you to join the Bao Mansion. We have a Ninth Prince in Shengjing who prefers to recruit warriors from the Central Plains. If you join him, you will definitely be able to borrow troops in the future, and it will be easy to encircle and suppress the disciples of Huashan."

"This... Master Bao, let me say something unpleasant. I first joined the Bao family, and now I'm switching to another place. Doesn't that make me a fickle villain?"

After hearing this, Huang Sixi almost punched him in the nose.

You have already come to Shengjing and surrendered to the Tartars. Eight generations of your ancestors have been humiliated. Aren't you a complete villain? Do you still think of yourself as a gentleman?

Huang Sixi said with a smile: "Hey, I don't know how to do other things, but I know how to help the heroes solve problems. I just need to mention it to Master Bao and ask Master Bao to recommend you to the Ninth Prince. Not only will it not offend either of them, but it will also allow you, Mr. Hong, to get along well with Master Bao and the Ninth Prince!"

Hong Shenghai knelt on the ground and said with great emotion: "If Master Bao can help me with this matter, Master Bao will be my second parent from now on."

Huang Sixi thought to himself, I don’t want a traitor son like you.

He helped Hong Shenghai up and said, "You stay here first. Although I have a say in front of Master Bao, I am still a servant. You just heard that the young master is coming to stay. I have to go buy food and entertain the young master before I can go to handle your business."

Hong Shenghai immediately took charge: "Master Bao, just sit and drink tea. I can take care of the lunch for the young master. When we entered the manor earlier, we passed by a market. I will go to the market and buy all the wine and food." "Mr. Hong is new here, so it's better not to spend money."

"I am willing to spend money for Mr. Bao. If you keep stopping me from spending, I will feel guilty."

"Since Mr. Hong said so, let's do it."

The two men stood up and left the coal stove and the coffee table.

Huang Sixi escorted Hong Shenghai out of the hall.

Hong Shenghai walked towards the courtyard gate.

Huang Sixi walked in the opposite direction to the long table by the wall, on which were placed his packages and weapons. He placed his bow and arrow, a green bamboo stick, and a small iron shield within easy reach.

Hong Shenghai was unaware of this, and was still daydreaming in his mind. He thought that after he surrendered to the Ninth Prince of the Qing Dynasty, he would lead his troops into the pass, borrow soldiers and horses, and then he would destroy the Huashan Sect and make everyone in the village uneasy.

He didn't know that Huang Sixi had already quietly attacked him from behind.

There were two arrows on the string, one aimed at the back of his head and the other at the back of his heart.

Huang Sixi accumulated internal strength in his palms and pulled the bowstring back suddenly, making a "click" sound, but he did not stop for a moment, he released the string and shot.

At this time, Hong Shenghai had just walked to the gate of the courtyard. He was only a few feet away from Huang Sixi. Hearing a strange noise behind him, he subconsciously turned his head.

Whoosh! A feather arrow flew out, brushing past his ear.

Hong Shenghai had no time to dodge the other arrow, which hit him right in the back.

But he had a hard armor on his clothes, so the arrows shot at him with a crisp "ding" sound, and then bounced back without causing any injury to him.

He sensed the threat behind him and turned around immediately. Without even taking the time to look closely, he suddenly raised his left hand and firmly caught the third arrow that was coming towards him.

He gathered his internal strength and threw the arrow back, and the arrow shot towards Huang Sixi in the hall.

At this moment, Huang Sixi had already put on the fourth arrow and was about to shoot, but he saw the arrow flying back.

Huang Sixi could only dodge sideways. The arrow passed by his left shoulder a foot away, and with a "puff" sound, it pierced the Guanyin statue enshrined in the hall. The feather tail trembled for a long time.

Huang Sixi was a little surprised to see that the arrow was so powerful.

He underestimated Hong Shenghai's martial arts.

In the original novel, Hong Shenghai was ordered by Dorgon to go to Nanjing to cause sabotage, and teamed up with several other warriors to attack Yuan Chengzhi, who was playing chess with Taoist Musang of the Iron Sword Sect at that time.

Taoist Mu Sang grabbed seven chess pieces and threw them out. Hong Shenghai and his companions were acupunctured and immobilized on the spot, unable to withstand a single move.

This gave Huang Sixi the illusion that Hong Shenghai's martial arts skills were not up to par and could be easily dealt with.

But the feather arrow thrown back by Hong Shenghai showed that his internal strength was not weaker than Huang Sixi.

"Master Bao, why did you sneak attack me? Did I do anything wrong?"

Hong Shenghai stood at the door, feeling confused. He thought to himself, I sold out my ancestors to surrender to the Tatars and have lost all my dignity. Why are you hitting me?
Huang Sixi continued to confuse him: "This is the rule of the Bao Mansion. I am just testing your martial arts. Don't you think about what kind of person the Ninth Prince is? Not everyone can join him if they want to? What if you are a spy for the Ming Dynasty, and Master Bao and I recommend you, then it will be a crime punishable by death for your entire clan. Let's put ourselves in his shoes. Don't you think this is the truth?"

"Hong is an upright person. He will serve if he says so. He is definitely not a two-faced person!" Hong Shenghai tried his best to defend himself.

"Well, take off your armor, and I will believe that you really want to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty!" Huang Sixi said, "If you don't take it off, then follow the rules."
