Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 193 Fierce Battle, Lord of the World Society, Xiong Ba!

At the summit of Tianshan Mountain, at the headquarters of the World Alliance, a middle-aged man with a square face, thick eyebrows, and an imposing presence sat quietly atop the mountain, embracing a posture of embracing oneness and guarding the universe. Three different forces circulated and flowed around him, and the three strange phenomena of wind, clouds, and frost converged, stirring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, creating an endless and boundless expanse.

This man is none other than Xiong Ba, the current overlord of the Northwest martial arts world and the leader of the Tianxia Society!
"Hmm? Sword intent?!"

Suddenly, Xiong Ba opened his eyes, turned around and looked in the direction of Tianchi. His brows furrowed slightly. He sensed an astonishing sword intent coming from the direction of Tianchi, carrying endless sharpness and a sense of deathly stillness.

At the very least, it is a pure swordsmanship power that only a Heavenly Realm expert at the second step of swordsmanship can unleash.

"The Sword Saint entered the Heavenly Sword Realm twenty years ago. Now, twenty years have passed. After so many years of seclusion and arduous cultivation, he cannot still be a Heavenly Sword Realm expert. Moreover, the secret agents of Wushuang City have not sent any news of the Sword Saint emerging from seclusion... Who could it be?"

A glint flashed in Xiong Ba's eyes, and he was somewhat puzzled. At the moment when the World Society was at its peak, who would dare to come to the World Society's territory and act recklessly?
Stupid!
Suddenly, a clear sword cry came from the horizon, and the astonishing Heavenly Sword intent erupted completely, clearly indicating that it had been unsheathed and was ready to fight.

"You dare to make a move on my turf? You have some nerve!"

Xiong Ba snorted coldly, no longer caring who the newcomer was. He suddenly stood up, leaped into the air, and soared directly from the mountain peak, which was over a hundred feet high. Like an eagle, he flew towards Tianchi Lake and disappeared in just a few flashes.

……

Meanwhile, at the edge of Tianchi Lake.

Faced with the relentless pressure from the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi, Yan Shisan finally stopped backing down. How could he really hand over Su Xin?

Moreover, he had already realized that the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi were here to cause trouble. Even if they did see the sleeping Su Xin, the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi would never let them leave.

This group of people is inherently wicked and morally ambiguous; it wouldn't be surprising if they did something wicked.

That being the case, there's not much to say.

One word—war!

Swish!
Thirteen swords were drawn, their sharpness fully revealed. Silently, they attacked the Tonghuang sisters, the leaders of the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi, like venomous snakes.

The Tonghuang sisters were startled and only reacted when Yan Shisan's sword energy was close at hand. They quickly dodged, but the gluttonous Shiweixian behind them suffered the consequences.

Because of his physique, Shi Weixian reacted a beat slower and was directly swept away by the sword energy. He could only grit his teeth and activate his protective qi to defend himself.

But the fourteenth sword strike at the Heavenly Sword level is not so easy to defend against.

boom!
In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled. Shi Weixian let out a miserable scream and was sent flying backward like a boulder. While he was still in mid-air, his body split apart. His body surface was attacked by sword energy, and dense, tiny cracks appeared. Blood spurted out along the cracks.

Bang!
With a loud bang, Shiweixian crashed heavily to the ground, instantly becoming a bloody mess, almost unrecognizable as a human.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and tough; otherwise, that sword strike would have torn him to pieces.

Despite this, he was not feeling well. After landing, he fell asleep immediately and soon became still, with only a trace of life remaining.

"The third one!"

"Damn it! Yan Shisan, how dare you make a move on our turf?!"

"kill him!"

Seeing the tragic end of Shi Weixian, the remaining members of the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi were not only terrified but also enraged.

"Go, kill them!"

With a furious shout, the Tong sisters swarmed forward, unleashing a barrage of attacks that overwhelmed Yan Shisan and his companions.

"We're not far from the Heavenly Society. Don't delay, fight our way out as soon as possible!"

Yan Shisan let out a low shout, drew most of the attacks with his sword, instructed Cheng Shifei to protect Suxin, and began to break through the encirclement.

clank clank——

Zzzzzzz—

In an instant, a great battle broke out.

Yan Shisan, alone with his sword, single-handedly blocked six of the twelve great masters of Tianchi: Dog King, Iron Broom Immortal, Treasure Player, Paper Scholar, and Husband and Wife Singing.

Xia Xueyi, wielding the Golden Snake Sword and using the Golden Snake Cone to restrain them, successfully held back the three masters, including the Dancing Hand and the Matchmaker.

Huang Xuemei held the Heavenly Demon Harp in one hand and plucked the strings rapidly with the other, using the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds to counter the Child Emperor Sisters' Childlike Heart Scripture. Even so, she still found it quite difficult, which showed how profound the sisters' skills were.

In an instant, various martial arts manifestations appeared, and the aftershocks of sword energy and true qi flew wildly, spreading in all directions, making the battle extremely fierce.

Under the cover of Yan Shisan and the other two, Cheng Shifei carried Su Xin's Xuan Tie Ice Coffin and slowly broke through to the outside.

Although he was anxious, he also understood that the most important thing at this moment was to protect the coffin and not distract Yan Shisan and the others.

As long as he successfully takes the coffin, with the martial arts skills of Yan Shisan and the other two, if they want to leave, the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi will not be able to stop them.

It will be safe then.

Finally, Cheng Shifei carried the coffin away from the battlefield and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Be careful!"

He turned around and said something, then prepared to take the coffin down the mountain first.

But at that moment, a blade of light approached silently, aiming straight for Cheng Shifei's heart.

At the same time, a sinister laugh rang out: "Does Tianchi mean you can come and go as you please?"

Cheng Shifei was startled and turned around abruptly. He saw a dark figure appear before him, dressed as a Japanese ninja, with a gleaming samurai sword already piercing his chest.

This person is none other than the last of the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi—Ghost Shadow.

The Tonghuang sisters can only be counted as one person, therefore, it is reasonable that there are thirteen Tianchi Twelve Fiends.

As he watched his knife plunge into Cheng Shifei's chest, Ghost Shadow chuckled coldly, extremely proud of his assassination skills.

But the next second, his face froze, and he stared at Cheng Shifei as if he had seen a ghost: "How...how is this possible?!"

Visibly, Cheng Shifei's originally normal body gradually turned golden yellow, and he seemed to have turned into a little golden man in an instant, coldly staring at the ghostly figure.

"Now that I know the name of the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi, how could I not be on guard? I've been waiting for you all along. Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Cheng Shifei said coldly, grabbing the samurai sword in front of his chest and pulling hard: "Come here!"

Distracted, the ghost stumbled and then saw a giant fist growing larger and larger in front of it.

Bang!
With a scream, Ghost Shadow was smashed to pieces by Cheng Shifei's punch before he could even unleash his protective true energy. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, creating a bloody and brutal scene.

"Sixth!"

"Damn it! I'm going to kill you all!"

"Kill that kid and avenge Lao Liu!"

The Twelve Fiends of Tianchi roared and their attack intensified, with almost everyone fighting for their lives.

"Ouch... Oh my god, that really hurts!"

Cheng Shifei dissipated his power and immediately reverted to his previous mischievous nature. He clutched his chest in pain. Although he had been on guard in time and had not been stabbed in the heart by the ghostly figure, his skin had still been pierced, and a little blood was seeping out.

But he didn't have time to check his injuries. After dealing with the ghost, he immediately continued rushing down the mountain.

But before they had gone far, a stranger suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

Cheng Shifei was furious: "Damn it, is this never going to end? Do you really think I'm a pushover?!"

"Behold my indestructible, mischievous boy, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Techniques, I am invincible throughout the world!"

As he spoke, Cheng Shifei once again unleashed his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, throwing a punch at the middle-aged man in yellow robes who was blocking his path.

"court death!"

As soon as Xiong Ba arrived at the scene, before he could figure out what was going on, he saw this kid carrying a coffin running around recklessly, who dared to attack him without knowing his own mortality. He immediately snorted coldly and struck out with his palm.

boom!
Fist and palm collided, instantly producing a violent roar, and a terrifying aftershock spread outwards. "Ouch!"

Cheng Shifei let out a scream as he was sent flying backward, coughing up blood, by the terrifying recoil. The coffin in his hand slipped from his grasp and rolled down the mountain.

"To establish right and wrong!"

"careful!"

"How are you? Are you alright?!"

Upon seeing Cheng Shifei return, Yan Shisan and the other two paled and exclaimed in surprise.

Cheng Shifei's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was broken, resulting in severe backlash. His essence, energy, and spirit were all damaged, and he bled from all seven orifices. He lay on the ground, completely unwilling to move.

He was completely dumbfounded.

The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, which had always been invincible against any opponent, was actually broken by this middle-aged man with a single, effortless palm strike.

Dad, didn't you say that the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was invincible?
You lied to me!

And who is this middle-aged man? He's really amazing!

A tear slid down Cheng Shifei's cheek, brought on by the pain.

"Gang leader!"

When the remaining members of the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi saw Xiong Ba arrive, their faces lit up with joy, and they all shouted:
"Boss, help!"

"Boss, they killed Third Brother and Sixth Brother! Please, Boss, avenge them!"

"Boss, kill them!"

"What?! He's Xiong Ba?!"

Unlike the joy of the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi, Yan Shisan and the others' expressions changed drastically. They quickly withdrew from the battlefield, helped Cheng Shifei up, and looked at Xiong Ba with apprehension.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Ba glanced around the scene and was enraged when he saw the half-dead Shi Wei Xian and the headless ghost in the distance.

"How dare you! You dare to trespass on my territory and kill my men? Has I, Xiong Ba, lost all my prestige in the martial world?!"

Xiong Ba roared angrily, too lazy to ask about the origins of Yan Shisan and the others. He raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike, which immediately caused the void to tremble. Endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth condensed and transformed into a huge ball of spiritual energy that blasted towards Yan Shisan and the others, filled with a terrifying aura of destruction.

"careful!"

Yan Shisan's pupils contracted sharply. Without thinking, he instantly mobilized his true energy and delivered the Fourteen Swords in a backhand motion.

Cheng Shifei and the other two also quickly used their unique defensive techniques.

At this moment, the four dared not relax for a moment and all exerted their full strength in an attempt to block this terrifying, world-destroying blow.

Rumbling--

The collision of five different forces once again stirred up a massive storm, as if it were about to destroy the world. Sand and stones flew everywhere, the earth cracked open, and the terrifying aftershocks of true energy enveloped an area of ​​several dozen feet in radius, completely covering Yan Shisan and his group of four.

"Ok?"

Xiong Ba frowned, somewhat surprised and suspicious, his eyes fixed on the center of the storm.

"Cough cough..."

As the smoke cleared, Yan Shisan and his three companions appeared, covered in soot and blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, clearly having suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Despite their combined efforts, the four of them still couldn't block Xiong Ba's casual strike.

At this moment, even the proud Yan Shisan's face was filled with shock and solemnity, his eyes fixed on the majestic Xiong Ba opposite him, his heart heavy with sorrow.

Faced with such a figure, they fear they will never leave Tianchi Lake today…

Little did he know, Xiong Ba was also quite surprised.

In Yan Shisan and the others' eyes, it was just a casual palm strike, but at his level, even a casual palm strike was something that a few mere Grandmaster-level brats could not withstand.

But the fact that the four of them could neutralize his attack when they joined forces was truly surprising to him.
"You do have some skill; no wonder you dare to act so presumptuously on my territory."

Xiong Ba spoke, looking at Yan Shisan and his group of four, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "Tell me your origins, and what brings you to my territory? If you satisfy me, I might spare your lives!"

"Boss, we can't let them get away!"

"Yes, boss! Third Brother and Sixth Brother died such a terrible death! You must avenge them!"

The Twelve Fiends of Tianchi were in a hurry and spoke up one after another, begging Xiong Ba to take action and not let Yan Shisan and the other three go.

"I...I'm not dead yet, I can still be saved...Boss, save me..." In the distance, the third brother, Shi Weixian, struggled to raise his hand for help from the deep pit.

"Third brother, you're not dead?"

The Twelve Fiends of Tianchi were overjoyed, but then started cursing.

"What the hell are you lying there for if you're not dead? Get up now!"

"Boss, the third brother isn't dead!"

"But Old Six Ghost Shadow is dead!"

"He was killed by that blond kid!"

"Boss, we can't let them get away with this! You have to avenge Lao Liu!"

"Yes, boss, there's nothing wrong with Lao Liu!"

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, making Xiong Ba's head spin.

"Shut up!"

Xiong Ba coldly shouted, "Do I need you to teach me how to do things? If you dare to say another word, I'll kill you all first!"

Everyone immediately fell silent, not daring to utter a sound. The most talkative among them hurriedly covered their mouths, not daring to doubt whether Xiong Ba could do what he said.

This demonstrates just how terrifying Xiong Ba's power was.

Yan Shisan and the other three held their breath, their expressions solemn, intimidated by Xiong Ba's imposing presence, and dared not utter a sound.

"Answer my question!" At this moment, Xiong Ba looked at them again.

Yan Shisan frowned, about to speak and explain their purpose to prove they meant no harm, but his expression changed drastically after a glance.

"Cheng Shifei, where's the coffin?!"

"what?"

Cheng Shifei was stunned for a moment, then remembered that the coffin had been knocked away earlier, and immediately became anxious: "Oh no! My mother... she rolled down the mountain!"

"mother!"

As Cheng Shifei spoke, he prepared to run down the mountain to chase after the coffin.

"..."

Yan Shisan, Xia Xueyi, and the other two twitched at the corners of their mouths. "Your mother's gone, and you're only just realizing it now?!"
"Did I let you go?"

Xiong Ba had no idea what these crazy people were up to, but seeing that Cheng Shifei didn't take him seriously and was even preparing to storm down the mountain, he was immediately displeased and raised his hand to attack again.

But at that moment, as if sensing something, Xiong Ba's expression changed slightly.

He suddenly turned around and saw a man dressed in the same yellow robe, exuding majesty and nobility, slowly walking up the mountain with one hand holding a black iron ice coffin and the other hand behind his back.
