Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 277 Beiyin Kuangdao
"Poison?" Yu Yue shook his head slightly:
"When I was practicing medicine in the two lakes, I encountered many poisonous animals and insects. Any poison that entered my body would be evaporated completely by the fire power of the Qilin Arm. The Qilin Arm originated from the Fire Qilin. I can control the poison, and the Fire Qilin's anti-poison power must be stronger than mine!"

After he said that, he raised his Qilin arm and channeled his true energy into his arm.

In an instant, Huang Sixi felt a stream of hot air blowing on his face, and he immediately used his internal strength to resist it, otherwise his hair and eyebrows would have been singed.

At this moment, the Qilin Arm was like a piece of iron that was burned red by a raging fire, emitting extremely yang fire energy and covering an area of about ten feet in radius.

At this time, Chu Chu had already rowed the boat to the shore. The shore was planted with willow trees. There were a few willow branches hanging down by the river, hanging several feet above Huang Sixi and Yu Yue's heads.

Huang Sixi looked up and was shocked to find that the willow branches and leaves were smoking under the scorching heat of the Qilin Arm, and they caught fire after a while.

Chuchu jumped onto the shore and saw the leaves on fire. She couldn't help but smile: "Dad has already made a fire, so I don't need to use a tinderbox anymore!"

She had often seen Yue Yunbi making fire, so she was not surprised. She jumped up, broke off the fire branches, then collected dry firewood and weeds on the shore and started to light the fire.

She promised to bake clothes for Huang Sixi, so she made a simple wooden rack and put the clothes on it. Seeing that Huang Sixi and Yu Yue were discussing something, she did not disturb them and went deep into the mountains and forests on the shore alone to catch game and prepare dinner.

Wait until she leaves temporarily.

Yu Yue continued, "If Mr. Huang has any supernatural poison, you might as well take it out and try it on my Qilin Arm first. If my Qilin Arm can't withstand it, it should be able to be used to sneak attack the Fire Qilin!"

In other words, if Huang Sixi's poison can't hurt Yu Yue's Qilin Arm at all, then he should think of disinfecting and attacking the Fire Qilin as soon as possible.

Huang Sixi immediately took out a glass poison bead from his waist and handed it to Yu Yue: "This is the poison I extracted from a toad. That toad is nicknamed the King of All Poisons. Senior, you can verify the effect yourself!"

"The King of Poisons?"

Yu Yue had never heard of the existence of the King of All Poisons in the world before, but since Huang Sixi was so arrogant, he took it very seriously. He carefully cracked open the poison bead and began to test the poison inside the bead.

Huang Sixi looked at him intently, but his mind was full of thoughts.

Just now, Yu Yue showed his skills for the first time. He was able to stimulate the leaves to burn with just the heat waves emitted from his Qilin arm, which surprised Huang Sixi.

He secretly evaluated whether he could, like Yu Yue, ignite the leaves from a distance of nearly ten feet using only the strong wind of his internal force?
Although he cultivated innate true qi in Changchun Valley, the true qi did not contain the power of yin and yang. Even if it was transferred to his arms, it could only release invisible energy. It was easy to crush leaves, but it could not form a hot fire like the Qilin Arm.

However, he practiced a Zhiyang external skill called "Burning Wood Sword Technique", which was originally one of the 72 unique skills that Jiumozhi secretly learned from Shaolin Temple. After he killed Jiumozhi and inherited Jiumozhi's lifelong martial arts, he also learned the key to "Burning Wood Sword Technique".

After mastering this sword technique, one can chop a dry wood 9981 times with the blade without damaging the wood at all, but the heat generated by the knife can ignite the wood and make a fire.

If Huang Sixi used his innate true energy to activate the "Burning Wood Sword Technique", it would be easy for him to chop the leaves with the sword energy from a distance and ignite them.

But the heat from his burning wood sword is definitely not as strong as the fire from the Qilin Arm.

Does this mean that his martial arts skills are not as good as Yue Fei's? That is not the case!
Because the power of the Qilin Arm comes from Qilin blood, not Yu Yue himself.

If Yu Yue didn't have the Qilin Arm, he wouldn't be able to block Huang Sixi's burning wood sword energy.

It is precisely because of the Qilin Arm that Yu Yue's combat power has skyrocketed. Even if you look at the entire martial arts world, Yu Yue can rely on the Qilin Arm to rank among the top masters.

As for the upper limit of the power of the Qilin Arm, Huang Sixi cannot estimate it for the time being. He needs to fight with Yu Yue once to find out the details.

Anyway, once the crazy blood of the Nie family breaks out, the combat power can be increased several times. After all, the Fire Qilin is one of the four auspicious beasts in ancient times. When a mortal body absorbs the blood of the Fire Qilin, the physical changes that occur cannot be explained by common sense.

"Huh? Young Master Huang's spiritual poison is extraordinary!"

Yu Yue had already verified the effect of the poison beads and couldn't help but praise them.

Huang Sixi looked at him, then looked at Qilin's arm, but found no signs of poison, so he asked, "Senior, you don't look like you're poisoned. You should have conquered this poison!"

Yu Yue shook his head: "My Qilin arm is invulnerable to swords and spears. No matter how powerful your spiritual poison is, it cannot corrode my arm's flesh and blood. But the heat in my arm cannot remove your spiritual poison. This poison can be used to deal with the Fire Qilin!"

Yu Yue has made a clear judgment.

Huang Sixi still had doubts: "Since it can't corrode flesh and blood, it certainly can't poison the Fire Qilin. It seems to have no effect!"

"How come it has no effect?" Yu Yue pointed at the Qilin arm:

"I just let the spiritual poison seep into the blood vessels in my arm, and my internal energy instantly became blocked. Before the spiritual poison is forced out, my arm's fire power must be weakened by at least half. If the Fire Kirin is poisoned, its body will also become temporarily weak!"

Yu Yue took the initiative to test the poison. If he and Huang Sixi fought head-on, he could rely on the fire power of the Qilin Arm to dispel the spiritual poison and would never allow the poison to invade his body.

The Fire Kirin has stronger fire power and is also capable of isolating poisonous gas.

But the Fire Kirin is not a human. Although it understands human nature, it has no combat wisdom. Otherwise, it would not have been stabbed in the weak spot by Yu Yue's sword that year.

Yu Yue has decided to accompany Huang Sixi to explore Lingyun Cave. When the time comes, the two of them will work together and it will be entirely possible to shoot the poisonous bead into the bloody mouth of the Fire Kirin, allowing the poisonous gas to directly spread to the Fire Kirin's abdomen.

Huang Sixi was very happy after listening to Yu Yue's explanation. If the poison of Manggu Zhuha could weaken the Fire Kirin, then he would have no worries when exploring the Lingyun Cave.

Soon Chuchu came back with some game and started to barbecue it skillfully. Then she signaled Huang Sixi and Yu Yue to get off the boat and enjoy the meal.

That night, the three of them spent the night on the shore.

The next day we continued sailing.

Soon we arrived at the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha.

Last night, Yu Yue and Huang Sixi had already agreed to work together to explore Lingyun Cave.

Chu Chu originally wanted to follow, but was rejected by Yu Yue.

She moored the boat in front of the Buddha and sat in the boat waiting for Huang Sixi and the other man to return.

When Huang Sixi and Yu Yue got off the boat and jumped to the shore at the foot of the Buddha, Chuchu hurriedly reminded them: "Dad and brother, you must be careful. If the cave is too dangerous, then come back first and make plans slowly!"

She spoke nervously, fearing that the two would never come back.

Although she knew that Yu Yue had the Qilin Arm to protect him and Huang Sixi was calm and steady, and that the two of them working together should be able to handle any danger, she just couldn't help but feel worried.

Huang Sixi nodded at her.

Yu Yue waved his hand.

Then the two of them jumped onto the instep of the Buddha, and used their Qinggong skills to climb upwards. After climbing ten feet high, they arrived at the Buddha's knees.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is a seated Buddha. Above the Buddha's knees is a flat ground that is two meters wide and more than ten meters long, with a dark cave entrance at the end.

This cave is where the 'Lingyun Cave' is located.

Huang Sixi and Yu Yue did not prepare torches. Huang Sixi could see at night, and Yu Yue's body had been transformed by Qilin blood, so his eyesight was also not weak. The two of them walked straight into the cave.

"Ah Si, there is a legend in Jianghu that water flooded the Buddha's knees and fire burned Lingyun Cave! Do you know what this means?"

"I've heard it occasionally, and it seems to mean that when the water reaches the Buddha's knees, that's when the Fire Kirin will show up!"

"That's exactly what I mean. If the river water flows into Lingyun Cave and floods the Fire Kirin's nest, it will naturally go outside the cave to avoid the water! However, the Buddha's knee is more than ten feet high. No matter how high the water level rises, it is difficult to rise above the knee. It usually only comes out of the cave once every few decades!"

"When Uncle Yue's hometown was attacked by the Fire Kirin, it was because the river flooded the Lingyun Cave that it ran outside the cave and caused trouble, right?"

"That's right! As long as Lingyun Cave is not flooded, it almost never comes out of the cave!"

"How many years ago was it that you last encountered it, Uncle Yue?"

“Thirty years ago!”

"Then how long has it lived?" "No one knows! It could be hundreds of years, or thousands of years!"

The two chatted as they walked through the tunnel of Lingyun Cave.

The tunnel was one person tall, dark and damp, with spider webs and dead vines covering the walls, making it look like a dusty tomb passage. No one had visited it in at least a few years.

The two walked for dozens of feet when the tunnel suddenly turned. However, the road was still very narrow and bottomless, and they had no idea where the end was.

After turning several corners, the space gradually opened up.

As a gust of cold wind blew by, Huang Sixi and Yu Yue both realized that they were in a huge cave.

There are hundreds of natural stone pillars standing in the cave, each of which is several feet thick and touches the top of the cave, forming a maze-like layout. Even if torches are lit to illuminate the entire cave, the entire appearance cannot be seen at a glance.

Huang Sixi looked around and didn't see any exotic flowers or fruits, so he asked Yu Yue: "Where does the blood bodhi tree grow?"

Yu Yue was also exploring Lingyun Cave for the first time. He couldn't point out the direction: "It is said that the Blood Bodhi is a strange fruit that grows from the blood of a Fire Kirin. Although the fruit is not big, it glows red and is very easy to identify! There are too many stone pillars in this cave, blocking our vision. We need to go deeper to search. Maybe the Blood Bodhi grows under a stone pillar!"

He noticed that there were many branches in the cracks of the cave walls. Each branch should lead to a secret cave, and the Fire Kirin could rush out from one of the branches at any time.

He also warned Huang Sixi: "The Fire Kirin is covered in flames. In such a dark cave, as long as it shows its head, it can be seen from a long distance. But it is faster than the divine horse and comes and goes like the wind. Ah Si, you must be prepared!"

His Qilin arm was already filled with internal energy.

Huang Sixi drew out his Dragon-Subduing Sword with a swish and began to search the stone pillar.

Yu Yue was surprised to see a line of fire appear on the sword, shining brightly. He thought that there were indeed many magical weapons in the world, but he had never heard of any magical weapon with sparks sealed inside.

He was curious about the origin of Huang Sixi's sword and was about to inquire about it when he suddenly felt an unusual chill coming from a distance.

His Qilin arm was extremely hot and sensitive to cold currents. He immediately raised his hand and pointed, saying to Huang Sixi, "There is something wrong on the left. Let's check that side first!"

He took the lead and rushed forward.

Huang Sixi followed closely behind, and only felt the cold current after walking more than ten feet. He couldn't help but secretly admire Yu Yue's keen perception.

Since Huang Sixi cultivated the innate true qi, his body's senses have undergone a transformation. Now, when he concentrates his mind, he can even hear the crawling sounds of ants on the ground.

However, his sensitivity to invisible and intangible air fluctuations is inferior to that of the Qilin Arm.

After a while, the two came to the stone wall on the left side of the cave. There was a crack about ten feet wide. A thick-backed long knife was inserted diagonally in the crack, and a pile of bones were scattered under the knife.

Looking at the blade again, there was a layer of solid ice, causing the temperature in the crack to drop sharply, like a small ice cave.

"Eh? This knife..."

Yu Yue stepped forward, grasped the hilt, and exclaimed, "This looks like the Nie family's Snow Drinking Sword!"

He identified the origin by the appearance of the sword.

Huang Sixi saw a line of shining sword characters on the blade, which indeed had the words "Xueyin Sword". He asked Yu Yue: "How did the Nie family's Xueyin Sword get lost here?"

Yu Yue mentioned an old story: "It is said that more than ten years ago, Xiong Ba captured Nie Renwang's wife Yan Ying and forced Nie Renwang to hand over the family heirloom, the Snow Drinking Sword! Xiong Ba loves to steal other people's weapons the most in his life. Before he challenged Nie Renwang to a duel, he had already snatched the Duan family's Fire Scale Sword!"

There is a legend in the martial arts world that the Fire Scale Sword is blazing on the top of the South Mountain, and the Snow Drinking Knife is cold in the deep North Sea!

More than ten years ago, Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang were famous in the martial arts world with their family heirlooms, the Fire Scale Sword and the Snow Drinking Knife. Unfortunately, they did not master their martial arts to the highest level, and both were defeated by Xiongba.

The worst among them was Nie Renwang. His wife was taken away by Xiongba, and his son Nie Feng even worshipped Xiongba as his teacher and devoted himself to conquering the world for Xiongba.

Huang Sixi pointed at the bones on the ground and asked, "Is this the remains of Nie Renwang, the Northern Drinking Mad Blade?"

Yu Yue sighed, "It should be him! He had a fight with Xiong Ba on the Leshan Giant Buddha, and then he disappeared from the Jianghu, and has never been seen since! I guess he was unwilling to accept his defeat at the hands of Xiong Ba, so he explored the Lingyun Cave, trying to find the Blood Bodhi, but unfortunately he met his fate here!"

He was only half right.

Back then, Nie Renwang did not take the initiative to explore Lingyun Cave. Instead, he was severely injured by Xiongba and fell at the entrance of the cave, which disturbed the Fire Kirin. He was then carried here by the Fire Kirin and torn alive as food, leaving only some bones.

Huang Sixi's eyes swept across the remains of the bones and looked at the rock wall in the crack. The wall was frozen by Xue Yin Dao, forming layers of solid ice, but there was a dark red halo in the ice, which seemed quite abnormal.

Huang Sixi immediately swung his sword, shooting out several sword energies in an alternating manner.

After the ice broke, more than a dozen crystal clear red fruits appeared on the rock wall.

Yu Yue's attention was also drawn to him. He stepped forward to take a look and laughed, "Ah Si, our luck was really good during this expedition to Lingyun Cave. We not only found the magical weapon Snow Drinking Knife, but also the Blood Bodhi. We don't even need to fight with the Fire Kirin..."

He originally wanted to say that after picking the blood bodhi, he would immediately withdraw from Lingyun Cave, so that he would not have to fight with the Fire Kirin, and this treasure hunt would be successful without any danger.

Unexpectedly, when he was halfway through his words, the Qilin Arm suddenly lost control and began to tremble violently, as if it had been stimulated by something, causing the blood in its arm to boil instantly.

He immediately clenched his fist and shouted at Huang Sixi: "The beast is coming out! I'll stop it, you pick the fruit quickly!"

After saying this, he poured all his internal energy into the Qilin Arm, forcibly stimulating the arm's strength.

I saw him stretching out his left arm, like a ball of blazing fire, and attacking forward. A burst of fire burst out from his fist, splitting the air for several feet and breaking the nearby stone pillar.

With a loud bang, huge rocks weighing hundreds of pounds rolled down.

A group of fire shadows ran from far to near and arrived next to the stone pillar, but was immediately blocked by rocks.

This Hokage was none other than the auspicious beast, the Fire Kirin. It was born with extraordinary talents. When rocks came within a few feet of it, they were blown away by the raging fire waves emanating from its body and could not hit it at all.

However, Yu Yue's punch in the air stopped the Fire Kirin's fierce attack and intercepted it beside the stone pillar.

Its ferocious body also appeared several feet away, with fire under its feet. The flames touched the gravel and ignited at once, burning without extinguishing.

Yu Yue held the Xueyin Knife in one hand, raised the Qilin arm with his right hand, suddenly jumped into the air, turned around, and swooped down at the Fire Qilin.

The Qilin Arm was exerted with all its strength, and a powerful punch was swung. A flood of fire energy was released, covering the Fire Qilin. The energy was as sharp as a needle, and the ground within a thirty-foot radius was cracked by the energy.

Yu Yue tried to recreate the feat of assassinating Fire Kirin in the past. He took the initiative, first catching Fire Kirin off guard with his fist, and then used the Snow Drinking Sword to chop off the armor barrier on Fire Kirin's back.

Even if the attack misses, it can buy time for Huang Sixi to pick the Blood Bodhi.

　Fengyun Comics Chapter 33: Wind Without Form, Cloud Without Permanence

　　The original novel describes: "The combination of wind and cloud seemed to have infinite suction, causing the natural forces that filled the world to constantly gather around the two of them..."

　　In Tian Long, there is an explanation of acquired true Qi and innate true Qi. Acquired true Qi can only be generated in the body, but innate true Qi can be strengthened by absorbing external forces.

　　The combination of Feng and Yun is obviously at the innate realm, which is also the setting of this book. When Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng first combined, they had just rebelled against the Tianxia Society not long ago, and the setting is that they were innate from the start.

　　But in the original comic, when Feng Yun joined forces for the first time, they failed to defeat Xiongba. Instead, Nie Feng was blinded in one eye by Xiongba, and was finally rescued by Yu Yue, the Qilin Arm.

　　Therefore, in "Feng Yun Xiong Ba Tian Xia", the top masters are Xiong Ba and Sword Saint (excluding the Twenty-three Sword Styles).

　　The other influential figures who could fight with Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng were all masters who had cultivated innate true qi.

　　The plot of this volume is advanced according to "Feng Yun Xiong Ba Tian Xia", and the characters' martial arts levels are based on the original comics.
