Wuxia: Become the 100-Victory Sword King at the Beginning

Chapter 16: Human and Sword Become One
Master Yuanchi smiled, his eyes gleaming with cunning. He laughed heartily and said in a loud and confident voice, "My dear disciple, I have long anticipated that you would come to rescue me. I am deeply pleased with your filial piety and courage! However, you should not save me in this way. You need to use your wits, not just force!"

His words were full of love and expectations for Shi Feiyang, but also revealed a hint of serious warning.

When Shi Feiyang heard what Master Yuan Chi said, he felt guilty and replied respectfully, "Master, when I learned that you were trapped, I was so anxious that I didn't have time to think carefully! I only wanted to rescue you as soon as possible! However, although I made a mistake this time, I will do my best to rescue you no matter what." His words were full of firmness and determination. He assured Master Yuan Chi that he would complete the task no matter what the cost.

Although Shi Feiyang has not yet had a clear understanding of his martial arts level, he firmly believes in the truth stated in the "Tao Te Ching": "He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty." This sentence is like an engraving in the depths of his soul, becoming a guide and principle for his actions.

Whenever he thought of this, his face would always be filled with a resolute expression, his eyes piercing with spirit. He firmly believed that true strength lies not only in defeating others, but also in defeating oneself. Only by being strong in heart can one go further in the martial arts.

At the moment of exerting his strength, Shi Feiyang's bones made a "creaking" sound, and his body, driven by an invisible force, exuded a powerful aura.

Master Yuanchi clasped his hands together and chanted devoutly: "Amitabha! Well-behaved! Well-behaved!"

There is deep compassion and wisdom in his voice.

Then, he retreated behind Shi Feiyang, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and he quickly realized that the young hero in front of him had experienced an extraordinary adventure, had strong internal strength, and mastered a set of lightning-fast sword techniques.

Therefore, this handsome young man dared to go to hell to rescue him.

There was a gleam of relief in Master Yuanchi's eyes.

Next, Master Yuanchi would observe how this handsome young man utilized this sword technique to his advantage. Since the situation had progressed to this point, with no way out, there was no need to speak any further, lest it interfere with the young hero's martial arts.

So, Master Yuanchi stood silently aside, like a towering and motionless mountain.

At this crucial moment, Shi Feiyang shouldered the weight of the entire martial arts world, carrying the weight of Master Yuanchi, an elderly Shaolin monk. Holding Master Yuanchi firmly in his left hand, Shi Feiyang unleashed his swift, sharp, and ferocious "Hundred Victories Sword Technique." His "Golden Dragon Claw" technique flowed with unrestrained ease, like a golden dragon circling in the air, closely guarding Master Yuanchi from behind, his offense and defense unleashing no opportunity for attack.

The strength of Shi Feiyang's martial arts display made Wu Hong, the lord of Snow Eagle Castle, feel an unprecedented threat.

Wu Hong led the 19 eagles under his command and launched a fierce siege on Shi Feiyang and Master Yuanchi who was on his back.

Without hesitation, Shi Feiyang grasped the incredibly sharp Burmese sword, seemingly becoming one with it, achieving a state of unity between man and sword. Under the combined might of his sword and palm, the hawks and dogs of Snow Eagle Fort fell one after another. Shi Feiyang killed several of the Fort's masters, and in a fierce duel, he killed the Fort's lord, Wu Hong, and dispersed the group of villains from Snow Eagle Fort.

With the death of Wu Hong, the lord of Snow Eagle Fort, the fort temporarily fell under the control of Shi Feiyang. The events unfolded in a thrilling sequence, but Shi Feiyang single-handedly reversed the situation and successfully rescued Master Yuanchi. His heroic actions not only earned him the admiration of martial artists like Liu Dayou and Liu Guihua, but also brought temporary peace to Snow Eagle Fort.

……

This is how the incident happened. At this moment, Shi Feiyang had already completed the apprenticeship ceremony.

Master Yuanchi bent down, carefully helped Shi Feiyang up, and was about to say something.

However, Shi Feiyang gently pushed Master Yuanchi's hand away, turned to face Liu Dayou, and said seriously: "Brother Liu, please lead everyone immediately to escort Master Yuanchi away from this dangerous place. The people of Snow Eagle Castle will never give up easily. They may attack again and may even recruit more powerful warriors to retaliate against us. This place is not suitable for long. I will compensate your escort agency for the losses later. At present, the most urgent thing is that you must leave here as soon as possible, return to the Central Plains first, and wait for my arrival at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. Please act immediately!" His tone became more urgent.

After listening to Shi Feiyang's hurried words, Liu Dayou felt deeply in agreement in his heart, but he knew that he should not make a rash decision, so he sought advice and suggestions from Master Yuanchi.

Master Yuanchi clasped his hands together and said slowly, "Amitabha! Well said! Well said! Disciple Feiyang is right. I will return to Shaolin now and await Disciple Feiyang's arrival."

Liu Guihua was filled with deep worry about Shi Feiyang. Her heart seemed to be weighed down by a heavy stone and she couldn't let it go.

She turned around eagerly, her eyes fixed on Shi Feiyang. With a slight tremor in her voice, she asked with concern, "What about you? What are your plans? Aren't you planning to leave this place with us?"

Her voice revealed deep anxiety and uneasiness. The nervousness made it almost impossible for her to control her emotions. In desperation, she reached out and tightly grasped Shi Feiyang's arm.

At this moment, she completely forgot about her shyness and was only concerned about Shi Feiyang's safety.

Shi Feiyang's gaze was firm and penetrating. He stared at Liu Guihua's anxious and tense face, and softly but firmly reassured her, "I must stay behind to cover your retreat. Rest assured, I will be safe. I've just found a suitable hiding place. You should evacuate immediately. We'll meet again at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain later."

His tone revealed a firmness and confidence, which also showed everyone that he had the ability to deal with the current predicament and would not let anyone get hurt. He knew that if he did not take decisive action immediately, everyone might not be able to escape safely.

So, Master Yuanchi resolutely instructed: "Let's go. Follow my disciple Feiyang's strategy, and he will surely be safe."

After saying this, he took the lead in leading everyone out of Snow Eagle Castle. His figure appeared particularly determined in the night.

Although Liu Dayou and his sister felt helpless and reluctant towards Shi Feiyang, they also knew that this was not the time to hesitate.

Then, they, along with the escorts, the leaders of the various sects, and their disciples, all bowed their hands in a chastity, expressing their respect and gratitude to Shi Feiyang. Their eyes were filled with trust and gratitude for Shi Feiyang, and they said in unison: "We believe in you, you will definitely return safely."

Afterwards, they followed Master Yuanchi's footsteps, quickly left Snow Eagle Castle, and disappeared into the night.
