Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 262: The Three Treasures of the Stars
Huang Sixi used the Flying Fairy Technique and knocked Ding Chunqiu down with one move.

Duan Yanqing, who was fighting with Ding Chunqiu at this time, found that Ding Chunqiu suddenly collapsed to the ground with a crystal dagger stuck in his face, which was obviously a fatal blow.

When Duan Yanqing saw his powerful enemy being killed, he did not feel happy, but rather inexplicably shocked.

He was anxious to know who was attacking him. Even the notorious Xingxiu Old Monster was no match for him.

Just now he had fought with Ding Chunqiu for hundreds of moves, each move was full of danger. He had no ability to defeat Ding Chunqiu at all. Huang Sixi could kill Ding Chunqiu with one move, so killing him would definitely be easy.

He did not turn his head to take a closer look at Huang Sixi's face. He immediately lifted up the two thin iron rods under his armpits, poured his inner strength into them and knocked them against the ground. With two "ding ding" sounds, his figure was already in the air.

He was worried that Huang Sixi would also shoot flying swords at him, so he tried to jump onto the roof to get away from Huang Sixi first, and then think of a countermeasure after he was in a safe position.

But as soon as Huang Sixi made his move, the Child-Fairy of Tianshan approached Duan Yanqing like a ghost.

Duan Yanqing immediately held the iron staff horizontally, poured the power of One Yang Finger into the tip of the staff, and quickly pressed against the vital points of Tong Lao's upper body.

"Eh? How did you, an ugly guy, practice Dali's One Finger of Sun on an iron rod?"

Tong Lao sensed Duan Yanqing's finger force coming at her, and a look of sarcasm appeared on her face. She used one hand to perform the "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand" and slashed along the iron rod.

When her palm was about an inch away from Duan Yanqing, she turned her wrist in a small circle and grabbed the end of the staff. Duan Yanqing suddenly felt a strange force attacking his arm, and with a "snap!" sound, the iron staff slipped out of his hand and was taken away by Tong Lao.

Tong Lao was seen holding the iron rod, pointing with her backhand, with the tip of the rod touching Duan Yanqing's chest. Energy burst out from the tip of the rod like an arrow, instantly piercing through Duan Yanqing's body, and a stream of blood shot out from his back.

Duan Yanqing's internal organs were shaken by the force and his heart veins were shattered. He felt as if all his strength was gone and he fell in mid-air. He fell on his back on the ground and could never get up again.

Tong Lao's attack was as fast as the wind, and in the blink of an eye, Duan Yanqing was severely injured and fell to the ground.

Only then did Madam Wang Li Qingluo recover from her shock. She looked at Ding Chunqiu's body and screamed, "Dad!"

Tong Lao jumped into the air and landed beside Madam Wang. She raised her hand and slapped her: "Your father is Wuyazi! Ding Chunqiu beat your father off the cliff back then, and you actually acknowledged him as your father. Don't you have any shame at all!"

Mrs. Wang was a fierce woman. When she was hit, she slapped Tong Lao in the face and cursed, "I am happy to acknowledge the thief as my father. Who allowed you, a dwarf, to meddle in my business?"

Seeing that Madam Wang was so reckless, Tong Lao immediately sent out a stream of energy from her finger and pressed on Madam Wang's Danzhong acupoint.

Mrs. Wang froze immediately, unable to move any more. She knew that her martial arts skills were far inferior to Tong Lao's, but she was not afraid.

She looked at Tong Lao coldly: "My father once said that Wuyazi had a senior sister who was born a dwarf. Is that you, the shorty?"

"You still call Ding Chunqiu your father?" Tong Lao was furious and slapped Madam Wang in the air:
"You don't even recognize your own father. You are more vicious than that old bitch Li Qiushui!"

"I call whoever raised me father!" Mrs. Wang was neither angry nor furious, she just looked at Tong Lao coldly:

"Ding Chunqiu raised me since I was a child and never let me down! Wuyazi couldn't control his wife and apprentice, and didn't take care of me beforehand. He was thrown off the cliff and died easily, but I was left alone since I was a child, being bullied by others in Gusu. What qualifications does he have to be my father!"

When Tong Lao heard this confession, the anger on her face disappeared.

She suddenly realized that Wuyazi, Li Qiushui and Li Qingluo's family were all selfish and cold-hearted, and they only cared about themselves.

There was absolutely no need for her to think about her fellow disciple friendship with Wuyazi.

She immediately revealed to Madam Wang, "When Wuyazi fell off the cliff, he didn't die, but became disabled and has been living in seclusion in Leigushan ever since! This little thief has been living in seclusion for a full thirty years, and has never thought of looking for you during this time. He has always asked Su Xinghe to choose a successor for him, but even if there is a successor, he has never considered letting you, his daughter, inherit the throne. He is indeed not worthy of being your father!"

Madam Wang's face trembled slightly: "Is he really still alive?"

Tong Lao sneered: "He passed on his skills to your daughter Wang Yuyan, and then died. This happened half a year ago. Didn't your daughter tell you?"

Madam Wang was dumbfounded: "Yan'er hasn't been back to Mantuo Villa for half a year, and I haven't been able to see her!"

Tong Lao's tone suddenly rose, and she scolded loudly: "If you can't see her, why don't you go find her? She is your biological daughter, and you didn't care about her after she disappeared for half a year. Instead, you ran to this remote place to meet your old lover! You are a bitch, you are just like your mother!"

Mrs. Wang's face turned red from being scolded, and she screamed again: "Sooner or later, my mother will kill you, you dwarf. Just wait!"

Tong Lao raised the corner of her mouth: "Do you know why I didn't kill you first? It was to use you to lure your mother here!"

Mrs. Wang was suddenly speechless.

Tong Lao ignored her and turned to walk towards Huang Sixi.

Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Mr. and Mrs. Tan were all standing behind Huang Sixi. When they saw Tong Lao coming over, they all clasped their fists to greet her.

Just now, Huang Sixi killed Ding Chunqiu with one move. Although Tong Lao failed to kill Duan Yanqing with one move, she beat Duan Yanqing seriously and injured him.

The martial arts skills of Zhao, Qian and Sun are not even as good as Duan Yanqing. They are at the same level as Duan Zhengchun and are definitely not a match for Tong Lao.

The three of them are now convinced that Tong Lao is the martial arts master who is over 90 years old. There are very few masters in the world who can defeat Tong Lao, and there is probably no master who can defeat Huang Sixi.

When the three of them thought of this, they looked at Huang Sixi and Tong Lao again, with more awe in their eyes.

At this moment, Huang Sixi was standing next to Ding Chunqiu's body. He took out the Baihong dagger and wiped off the blood.

Tong Lao knew that the Baihong dagger was Li Qiushui's sword. On that day in the Shaolin Temple, Li Qiushui used the Baihong dagger to attack Huang Sixi, but was intercepted by Azhu at the cost of her own life. Afterwards, the dagger was kept by Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi put the Baihong dagger back into his waist, then lowered his head and saw that Ding Chunqiu's wrist was wrapped with several balls of fine transparent silk threads with silk patterns on them.

He took off the silk thread.

This is Ding Chunqiu's relic, which records Ding Chunqiu's internal energy and the key points of "Hua Gong Da Fa".

Seeing how much Huang Sixi valued the silk thread, Tong Lao introduced it to the audience, "This is the 'Soft Silk Rope', one of the 'Three Treasures of Xingxiu'. It is made of the silk of snow silkworms beside the Xingxiu Sea. This kind of snow silk is extremely tough, transparent and colorless, and is most suitable for sneak attacks.

Now that Ding Chunqiu is dead, Xingxiu Sea will become a land without an owner. If you want snow silk, Xiao Si, I will immediately send the maids in the palace to Xingxiu Sea to collect it!"

Huang Sixi was mainly after Ding Chunqiu's decades of internal strength.

However, in the Wuliang Yubi Cave, Huang Sixi once found a chess piece and an ancient zither without strings.

In recent months, Huang Sixi has been staying in the mountain village to practice the Dragon Subduing Palm moves and has never repaired the strings of the guqin. Ding Chunqiu's "Soft Silk Rope" is very suitable.

He measured the length of the 'soft silk rope', which was about seven or eight feet long, which should be enough.

He then picked up the Soft Silk Rope and raised it towards Tong Lao: "I'll try it first. If there's any problem in the future, I'll trouble you later."

Tong Lao smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? It's not something precious!"

She would privately instruct the palace maid to do this in advance.

After Huang Sixi put away the "Soft Silk Rope", he asked Tong Lao: "I know that the Xingxiu Sect has a sacred wooden king tripod, which is also one of the three treasures of Xingxiu. What is the other treasure?"

"The last treasure is the Three Smiles Free Powder. Of course, some fellow martial artists say it's just flattery!"

Tong Lao had a mocking look on her face: "All the disciples of Xingxiu Sect are good at flattering. They are all flatterers. Ding Chunqiu likes to be flattered the most. But why didn't he bring any disciples with him when he came to Central Plains this time? Is it true that as he just said, all the disciples' internal energy was sucked dry by Li Qiushui?"

"That's how it should be!"

Huang Sixi knew that Ding Chunqiu was very particular about appearances. Since he had no disciples to serve him, it meant that his Xingxiu Sect had been destroyed by Li Qiushui.

In the original novel of Tian Long, the Divine Wood King Cauldron, one of the three treasures of the Xing Xiu Sect, was stolen by A Zi. After A Zi fled from the Xing Xiu Sea and went to the Central Plains, she first appeared at Xiao Jing Lake.

But Huang Sixi didn't know whether A Zi had escaped Li Qiu Shui's energy absorption.

Thinking of this, he turned to check on the situation of Duan Zhengchun and others.

He took a quick look and found that Duan Zhengchun, Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu were all wounded by the sword and were dead.

Duan Yu, Dao Baifeng, Mu Wanqing, A-Bi, and the four great ministers of the Zhennan Palace were all poisoned by the "Sad and Cool Breeze", and their bodies became limp and they collapsed to the ground unable to move. This poison enters the body through the eyes, and after being poisoned, tears fall like rain. The longer the poison enters the body, the more painful the eyes become, until they can no longer open their eyes.

Ah Zhu had come over earlier and got water for Ah Bi to wipe her eyes. When Duan Yu heard Ah Zhu's voice, he hurriedly told Ah Zhu that the "Sad and Pure Breeze" was released by Duan Yanqing, and the antidote must be in Duan Yanqing's possession.

Ah Zhu saw a bloody hole on Duan Yanqing's chest, with blood gushing out and unable to be stopped. She guessed that when Duan Yanqing was knocked down by Tong Lao just now, his acupoints were also pressed by Tong Lao, otherwise Duan Yanqing should have healed himself.

Ah Zhu bravely walked to Duan Yanqing and took out a few medicine bottles. She didn't know which one was the antidote, so she planned to ask Huang Sixi for advice.

When I turned around, I found Huang Sixi was already walking towards me.

Zhao Qiansun and Mr. and Mrs. Tan also followed. They took several medicine bottles, identified the antidotes, and detoxified Duan Yu and the others respectively to prevent Ah Zhu from suffering any more.

Ah Zhu's face was filled with worry. She asked Huang Sixi in a trembling voice, "Brother Huang, which one is my father and mother? Are they here?"

What she feared most was that her biological parents were among those corpses.

Huang Sixi did not answer her, but walked to Duan Zhengchun, squatted down, picked up Duan Zhengchun's wrist and took his pulse.

Ah Zhu didn't dare to ask more questions. She followed Huang Sixi silently and began to wait in agony.

She saw two middle-aged women lying next to Duan Zhengchun and looked at their faces carefully.

The woman in green had an oval face, beautiful features, and a half-smile on her lips, looking very gentle.

The woman in black had a pointed face, long eyebrows, and was even more beautiful, but her expression was tense and she looked rather serious.

Ah Zhu touched her cheek. She also had an oval face. Her heart began to beat wildly. "Could one of these two aunties be my mother? I look more like the auntie in green. Could she be my mother?"

She guessed again and again in her mind, but couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Duan Yu was the first to smell the antidote, and his body returned to normal. When he saw Duan Zhengchun's body lying on the ground, he was furious. He stood up abruptly, rushed to Duan Yanqing, grabbed an iron rod on the ground, raised the rod above his head with both hands, and was about to smash it on Duan Yanqing's head.

Dao Baifeng, who was sniffing the antidote, screamed, "No!"

Duan Yu was startled, and turned around and said, "Mom, this evil thief killed Dad, and also killed Aunt Qin and Aunt Ruan. If Aunt Wang from Mantuo Villa hadn't arrived in time to stop this evil thief, Sister Wan would have been killed by him too!"

Madam Wang's face turned cold, and she scolded Duan Yu: "Who is your aunt, little bastard? Your mother is a barbarian slave, how dare she call myself a relative of our Wang family? I wish I could chop off your hands and feet, and watch you die in agony, then I would be happy!"

Duan Yu was frightened when he heard her vicious tone and refused to pay any attention to her.

Duan Yu turned his gaze back to Duan Yanqing, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "Kill you first, you evil villain!"

Dao Baifeng immediately let out an even louder scream: "You can't kill! You...you can't commit such a serious crime!"

Duan Yu was full of doubts: "How can it be a crime for me to avenge my father? This is the law of nature!"

Dao Baifeng was afraid that if the iron rod in his hand really smashed down, he would be doomed, so she waved at him hurriedly: "Yu'er, come here! Come here quickly! I'll tell you why you can't kill him!"

Duan Yu listened to Dao Baifeng's advice, lowered his iron staff, and planned to walk over to Dao Baifeng to listen to the reason.

However, the three old women who were watching the scene, Tong Lao, Mrs. Wang, and Tan Po, all noticed that something was wrong. It was obvious that Dao Baifeng had some unclear relationship with Duan Yanqing, otherwise she would not have stopped Duan Yu from avenging his father's death.

Mrs. Wang suddenly burst into laughter: "Dao Baifeng, you, a lowly servant, have you been having an affair with that ugly guy without telling Duan Zhengchun? Duan Yu, that little bastard, is not Duan Zhengchun's biological son?"

Her smile quickly faded, and she said sternly, "You are a slut who is unfaithful to women and fickle. You even accused Duan Zhengchun of having affairs outside. Don't you have any shame?"

Dao Baifeng allowed her to humiliate her but did not refute.

A few months ago, Duan Yu was kidnapped from Tianlong Temple by Jiumozhi. Mu Wanqing was concerned about Duan Yu's safety, so she followed Huang Sixi to Gusu to rescue Duan Yu.

Later, Duan Zhengchun and Qin Hongmian also rushed to Jiangnan. Dao Baifeng didn't want Duan Zhengchun and Qin Hongmian to have a tryst alone, so she followed them.

After the Battle of Xingzilin, Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing returned to Dali together, and met Duan Zhengchun and his party on the way.

Duan Yu immediately handed Mu Wanqing over to Qin Hongmian, quietly bid farewell to his parents, and went north to Leigushan alone to look for Wang Yuyan.

At this time, Dao Baifeng and Qin Hongmian were at odds with each other and fought all day long. Duan Zhengchun was annoyed and ordered Dao Baifeng and Qin Hongmian to return home. He led his four ministers north to the Central Plains, nominally to look for Duan Yu, but actually to Xiaojing Lake outside Xinyang City to relive his love dream with Ruan Xingzhu.

He and Ruan Xingzhu spent several months together, and they were truly a happy couple, as happy as gods.

However, as Dao Baifeng and Qin Hongmian found Xiaojing Lake one after another, misfortunes began to follow.

Duan Yanqing, one of the four evil men, followed the two women's tracks, found out Duan Zhengchun's whereabouts, and used "Sad and Pure Breeze" to capture Duan Zhengchun.

Originally, Duan Yanqing did not intend to kill Duan Zhengchun. He just wanted Duan Zhengchun to inherit the throne of Dali Kingdom and then abdicate to him. If he killed Duan Zhengchun now, the throne would be gone.

Unexpectedly, Duan Yu suddenly broke into Xiaojing Lake at this time.

Duan Yanqing knew that Duan Yu was the only prince of the Zhennan Palace. As long as he killed Duan Yu, there would be no more surprises in the throne.

As a result, when Duan Yanqing was about to attack Duan Yu, Dao Baifeng told him about her love story with Duan Yanqing. They had once had a romantic night together and Duan Yu was actually Duan Yanqing's son.

At this point, Duan Yanqing naturally would not kill Duan Yu again. He was worried that Duan Zhengchun would find out about this sooner or later. If Duan Zhengchun found out that Duan Yu was not his biological son, he might depose Duan Yu from the position of crown prince.

So Duan Yanqing decided to go all out and killed Duan Zhengchun directly to clear the way for Duan Yu to succeed to the throne.

Duan Yanqing originally planned to kill all the witnesses at the scene, leaving only the lives of Dao Baifeng and Duan Yu, mother and son, alive, so that the secret would never be exposed again.

In this way, Duan Yanqing first killed Duan Zhengchun, then killed Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu. When he was about to kill Mu Wanqing, Mrs. Wang and Ding Chunqiu suddenly showed up.

Duan Yanqing could only fight back and had no way of killing anyone.

Because when Dao Baifeng revealed her romantic past, she only mentioned the location where it took place, Duan Yanqing was the only one at the scene who knew that Duan Yu was his son, while everyone else was kept in the dark.

Duan Yu naturally wouldn't understand either.

At this moment, Duan Yu heard Madam Wang slandering Dao Baifeng's reputation, and he said angrily: "You...you should stop slandering my mother!"

Madam Wang snorted coldly: "Does a lowly servant need me to slander you? Go ask her yourself, who is your biological father, Duan Zhengchun or Duan Yanqing?"

Duan Yu was about to walk to Dao Baifeng, but suddenly stopped and dared not take another step forward. He already had a premonition in his heart that he was most likely not Duan Zhengchun's biological son.

Seeing him standing still, Madam Wang immediately sneered, "Why don't you go and ask? Are you afraid? Look at your courage, you little bastard. You don't look like Duan Zhengchun at all!"

Madam Wang was talking about Duan Zhengchun when she suddenly heard Duan Zhengchun's voice: "Yu'er, go take care of your mother! Don't listen to your aunt A'Luo's nonsense. You are the prince of Zhennan Palace, how can this be false!"

"what!"

Mrs. Wang, Duan Yu, and Dao Baifeng shouted at the same time and looked hurriedly into the crowd, only to see that Duan Zhengchun had come back to life and was sitting cross-legged to gather his energy.

After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he did not look at the three people, but asked Huang Sixi nervously: "Master Huang, can Ah Xing and Hong Mian be rescued?"

Huang Sixi didn't answer him.

Instead, he looked at Ah Zhu and said, "Ah Zhu, where is your gold lock? You can take it out now and let the Prince of Zhennan have a look!"

Ah Zhu couldn't bear the excitement in her heart and tears immediately flowed down. With trembling hands, she handed the golden locket engraved with "The stars in the sky are shining brightly, and there will be eternal peace" to Duan Zhengchun.

Duan Zhengchun was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head to look at the golden lock piece, then looked up at Ah Zhu. His body was shaking like Ah Zhu.

His eyes were slightly red, and he was about to recognize Ah Zhu, but he heard Madam Wang scolding again: "Duan Zhengchun, that slut Dao Baifeng gave birth to a bastard for you, and you actually want to play the role of a tortoise?"
