Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 98 Infuriating
When Dingyi heard that Huang Sixi had a connection with the Beggars' Sect and might join the sect in the future, he no longer worried about Huang Sixi's whereabouts.

She only told Huang Sixi to send her a message after finishing the Beggar Gang's business so that she could feel at ease.

She privately revealed the route back to Hengshan to Huang Sixi, and then led the Hengshan nuns away from Liu's mansion.

At this time, besides Liu Zhengfeng and his family, Huang Sixi was the only one left in Liu's mansion.

They talked about their future plans.

Liu Zhengfeng originally bought an official position in order to retire from the underworld and try to enter the officialdom to escape from the underworld. Now he has no intention of holding the position and only wants to retire as soon as possible and never show up again.

Huang Sixi naturally agreed with their retreat, and the farther away the better, it would be best if they were away from the Central Plains, otherwise they would still be drawn into the vortex of martial arts feuds in the future.

Finally, he bowed to Liu Zhengfeng and his family and said, "Mr. Huang is leaving. Mr. Liu, take care of yourself."

The Liu family members all replied in unison: "Take care, Mr. Huang. Goodbye, Mr. Huang."

There was reluctance in their words. Liu Zhengfeng's younger sons, Liu Jing and Liu Qin, had been severely frightened by the Songshan Sect earlier. They were crying and did not want to see the hero Huang say goodbye like this.

But Huang Sixi soon left Liu's house, got on the carriage of Zhang Jinao, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, and disappeared at the end of the long street.

No one knows when we will meet again in the future.

But after meeting today, we have forgotten each other.

Huang Sixi immediately forgot about everyone in the Liu Mansion.

He took out a golden token and held it in his hand to examine it.

He was the only one in the carriage, while Zhang Jinao was driving outside.

Just as Zhang Jinao himself said, he was just a figurehead in the Beggars' Sect and could not command many disciples.

He himself was particular about appearances and did not want to have a group of ragged beggars following him, so when he came to Liu's house to watch the ceremony this time, he brought a few of his family confidants, who rode horses around the carriage.

As Zhang Jin'ao was on his way, he would occasionally lift the carriage curtain and chat with Huang Sixi for a while. When he saw Huang Sixi holding a token, he smiled and said, "This is the Taibao Token of the Songshan Sect. Are you interested, Young Master Huang?"

Huang Sixi said, "I may have to deal with the Songshan Sect frequently in the future, so I want to get familiar with their token first."

Zhang Jin'ao thought he was worried about the Songshan Sect's pursuit, so he immediately comforted him: "Our Beggars' Sect's reputation is not as good as before, but we have more people and more power. As long as Young Master Huang stays in the Beggars' Sect for one more day, I can guarantee your safety. Of course, Young Master Huang must cooperate with me and don't leave the sect easily!"

Huang Sixi nodded and continued to read the token.

Huang Sixi searched out this token from Ding Mian's body. It records Ding Mian's martial arts skills. Huang Sixi didn't have time to read it when he was in Liu's house earlier, but now he can finally study it carefully.

Huang Sixi still remembers that when he was fighting with Ding Mian, Ding Mian's true energy once overflowed, and he raised a palm wind to fight with him, and he could even rely on his true energy to absorb his palm power.

He felt strange at the time. Ding Mian's internal strength was obviously not as good as his, so why could he release his internal strength to attack the enemy?

In the past, when Huang Sixi competed with others, his internal strength was always contained in his body. Even though he could release strong wind and energy, it did not have the lethality and could only serve as a distraction.

He used to think that his internal strength was not strong enough, which was why he couldn't use it to attack externally and injure the enemy through mid-air.

After he inherited Ding Mian's Songshan martial arts, he suddenly realized that it was not that his internal strength was not good enough, but that he had not mastered the corresponding method.

This is actually not his fault. In the past in the martial arts world of "Sword of Royal Blood" and "Sword Rain", no matter what level of martial arts one has mastered, there is no martial arts that can hurt people with internal force in mid-air. He could not learn the corresponding martial arts, and his internal force was restricted in his body.

Now with the arrival of "Swordsman", all the schools and sects know how to use internal energy to release martial arts. As long as the internal energy reaches a certain level, one can fly in the air while making moves, and can even infuse the internal energy into weapons, picking leaves and flying flowers to injure the enemy.

Huang Sixi immediately practiced Ding Mian's internal energy techniques.

After a while, Huang Sixi condensed a ball of true energy in his palm, wrapped it around the token in his palm, and gave a light push. The token flew up from one end of the carriage to the other before landing.

This is a method of finely controlling internal force. The internal force first circulates in the body to form true qi, and then the true qi is expelled from the body to form lethal power.

The Shaolin Temple's unique skill "Dragon Capturing Technique" is a great display of precise control over internal strength. It can capture objects from a distance, capture people in mid-air, do whatever one wants, and be invincible.

Huang Sixi's palm suddenly condensed, and changed into a grab, and he chopped out a ball of energy at the token, trying to grab the token back through the air. As a result, the energy rolled around the token again and again, causing the token to bounce in place, but it could not fly back into Huang Sixi's hand.

He couldn't help but shake his head: "My internal strength still hasn't reached the standard of practicing the Dragon Capture Technique. The former Song Dynasty hero Xiao Feng, with one move of the Dragon Capture Technique, can catch a weapon from any corner within a few feet in the air. There is still a big gap between me and Xiao Feng."

However, if you cannot practice the "Dragon Capturing Skill", you can still practice the Flying Finger and the Air-Splitting Palm.

Huang Sixi's mood suddenly became high.

He secretly channeled his internal energy, first injecting it into his fingertips. When his internal energy was overflowing, he suddenly pointed forward. With a slight "hiss" sound, a thin stream of energy shot out from his fingertips. It was invisible and traceless, but it seemed real.

This force of energy flew forward three feet, and with a "puff!", it hit the wooden wall of the carriage, leaving a shallow mark.

Huang Sixi went closer to check the depth of the finger marks, then shook his head: "It's not powerful enough to hurt anyone. At most, it can press acupuncture points in mid-air!"

But this does not mean that Huang Sixi's internal force cannot be used to injure people, but that he has not practiced the corresponding finger-snapping martial arts.

The energy he just shot out from his finger did not involve any martial arts, but was gathered entirely from his internal strength, so the power was naturally insufficient.

Huang Sixi's Flying Finger has no corresponding martial arts and its power is limited, and the same goes for the Air-Splitting Palm.

Even if he could gather his true energy in his palm and strike out into the air, it would be difficult to cause effective damage.

On the contrary, because he blindly exhaled his internal energy, it was rapidly consumed, and he soon became physically uncomfortable due to fatigue, and had to stop comprehending his true energy.

"The internal energy is wasted too much when it is released externally. No wonder the top masters in the world, who can obviously hurt the enemy from a distance, often choose to fight in close combat. It is probably for the purpose of keeping the internal energy full." Only when the internal energy is full can the combat effectiveness be sustained.

Killing the enemy from a distance is definitely fun. Who doesn't want to kill the opponent directly from a distance of three or five feet? But it also has great consequences. This way of fighting comes at the cost of internal strength.

Take Huang Sixi's "The Dragon in the Sky Will Regret", the mystery lies in the word "regret". When he strikes out with one palm, not only can he injure the enemy severely, but his internal force is still preserved in his body.

But if he strikes the enemy from mid-air, his internal energy will definitely not be retained.

Of course, nothing is absolute in this world.

If one could learn Zhang Wuji's "Nine Yang Magic Skill" and allow the internal energy to circulate in the body endlessly, then it shouldn't be a problem if the internal energy was wasted on the Air-Splitting Palm when the time comes.

Huang Sixi figured out the key and stopped studying the flying finger and splitting palm.

Finally, he picked up a piece of cloth, pinched it between his fingertips, and after secretly moving his internal energy, he infused his true energy into the cloth.

The originally soft piece of cloth instantly became as hard as iron, filled with sharp energy.

He just picked up the rag and scratched the wooden wall of the carriage, immediately leaving a scratch like a knife cut.

This is the martial arts saying, "Picking leaves and flying flowers can hurt the enemy!"

The martial arts masters in the world, as their martial arts skills improve and their inner strength grows, will eventually abandon all weapons, because anything in the world, including plants, bamboo, and stones, can be turned into deadly weapons when placed in their hands and infused with their inner strength. They don't need to carry any magic weapons anymore.

This is also the same goal in martial arts.

However, the masters in "Swordsman" have not reached the state of being better without weapons. Even the Dongfang girl, the top master of the Demon Cult, has to use an embroidery needle to fight.

Master Fang Zheng, the best master of the righteous path, does not use weapons, but what Fang Zheng practices is the 'Thousand-Handed Tathagata Palm', and he is not good at weapons.

Today, Huang Sixi, through Ding Mian, has mastered the method of using true Qi. He can now use his internal energy to hurt the enemy. In the future, the deeper his internal energy is, the greater his lethality will be. He still needs to work hard on his martial arts journey.

The carriage traveled on the official road for half a day and successfully entered Hengyang.

It was afternoon when Huang Sixi set out from Hengshan City, and it was already dusk when he arrived at the courtyard of the Hengyang branch.

"Young Master Huang, we're here."

Zhang Jin'ao led Huang Sixi into the compound, and a group of disciples from the Jingyi Sect immediately came up to greet them, bowing respectfully: "Deputy Gang Leader Zhang, didn't you go to attend Mr. Liu's retirement ceremony? You actually came back at night. Mr. Liu is a wealthy man in Hengshan, and he has many mansions. Why didn't he let you stay overnight?"

Zhang Jinao laughed and scolded: "You are such a meddlesome kid. You don't need to worry about where I live."

He glanced towards the main hall and asked, "Are the two gentlemen here?"

"Yes, all are here!"

The disciple of the Jingyi Sect replied, "It's almost time for dinner, the two young masters are changing clothes in the inner courtyard and preparing to go to Zuichun Tower for a drink."

"Go to Zuichunlou again?"

Zhang Jin'ao frowned slightly: "That place is a place where money is wasted. Our Beggars' Sect is not like other big sects. How can we afford to spend a lot of money every day?"

His words betrayed his dissatisfaction.

This is not to blame the two young masters for spending money lavishly. The Beggars' Gang is divided into the Dirty Clothes Faction and the Clean Clothes Faction.

The Clean Clothes Faction are not real beggars. Most of them joined the Beggars' Sect because they admired its reputation. They are all from good families, and some of them are wealthy. When they joined the sect, they donated money and food to the Beggars' Sect, which was enough for their expenses.

But the Beggars' Sect has its own traditions. They started out as beggars, and the majority of them are disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect, who have been begging outside all year round. If the disciples of the Clean Clothes Sect spend their days in debauchery, this will cause serious conflicts within the Beggars' Sect.

However, the two young masters had special identities, so Zhang Jinao could only complain but not discipline them.

He said to Huang Sixi, "You two young masters serve as the Blue Lotus Envoy and the White Lotus Envoy in our gang. Young Master Huang, please wait in the hall for a while. I will call them out from the inner courtyard and introduce them to you, Young Master Huang."

After saying that, he led Huang Sixi into the hall.

It is said that the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Jie Feng, had an immoral private life and had several illegitimate children. These two Green Lotus Messengers and White Lotus Messengers were actually the sons of the great leader Jie.

The Hengyang branch is not far from the Junshan headquarters, and is all in Hunan. Gang leader Jie did not arrange his illegitimate son to work at the headquarters to prevent gossip from outsiders, but he did not send him too far away, so that the illegitimate son could stay near the headquarters.

Zhang Jin'ao arranged Huang Sixi in the lobby and asked disciples from the Jingyi School to serve tea. He went to the inner courtyard alone to invite the two young masters.

　The terms internal force and true qi appear many times in Master Jin's novels, but he never explains the difference between the two. The two are often used interchangeably, but their natures are actually the same.

　　Like the plot of "Swordsman"

　　"Yue Buqun did not dare to press any longer, and withdrew his palm, thinking: "This [true energy] is divided into six channels, and it was naturally injected into Chong'er's body by those six weirdos. The six weirdos have sinister intentions, and actually injected each person's [internal energy] into the six channels, making Chong'er suffer a lot, unable to live, and unable to die." Sometimes true energy, sometimes internal energy.

　　Like the plot of "Tianlong Babu"

　　"Qiao Feng knew that Azhu's internal energy was exhausted again, so he immediately stretched out his palm and placed it on her back, [sending his internal energy into her body]. In this way, Qiao Feng knew that she was relying entirely on his internal energy to survive at this moment. If he did not [send his internal energy into her body], she would die of exhaustion in less than an hour." It was also a combination of internal energy and true energy.

　　In Master Jin's original work, internal force and true qi are actually the same.

　　This chapter says: "This is a method of finely controlling internal energy. The internal energy first circulates in the body to form true energy, and then the true energy is expelled from the body to form a lethal force."

　　This is just one person's opinion, and is intended to more intuitively describe the martial arts performance after the internal force is released externally. That's all.
