Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

Chapter 213 Heavenly Thunder Descends

As the dust settled, Ming Daohong was still shaking her tortoise shell, but now a tangible wall of true energy enveloped her entire body.

Ming Daohong was also terrified at this moment; she felt like she couldn't stop.

"What's going on?" Zhang Junbao whispered behind Yi Jifeng.

The next moment, Yi Yuchen laughed and said, "Here they come!"

While Yi Jifeng and the other two were still wondering, they saw him push with his right hand, sending Ming Daohong flying far away. Then he rose into the air, floating in mid-air, looking up at the sky above.

Yi Jifeng leaped and caught the unconscious Ming Daohong. Then Zhang Junbao, Yi Jifeng, and Qin Sirong looked up at the sky with puzzled expressions, only to find that the sky was a deep blue and there was nothing there.

Before Yi Jifeng could even ask himself a question, Zhang Junbao whispered, "They're here!"

Yi Jifeng and Qin Sirong asked in confusion, "What's here?"

Zhang Junbao pointed to the ceiling and exclaimed, "Look!!!"

………………

From the moment Ming Daohong started shaking the tortoise shell, Yi Yuchen had been waiting intently. Soon he noticed that the tortoise shell in Ming Daohong's hand was absorbing her essence and spirit.

As Yi Yuchen channeled his true energy, the tortoise shell in Ming Daohong's hand became like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring his true energy. Until one moment, Yi Yuchen felt an invisible force descend from mid-air.

With a thought, his primordial spirit stirred, and the vast true essence within his body surged like a sea, rushing straight towards the aura. The invisible impact transformed into ripples, frightening Yi Jifeng and the other two into retreat.

That initial surge of energy was relentless and persistent, relentlessly pursuing Yi Yuchen as if it would not give up until it achieved its goal.

But as time passed, that energy gradually lost its strength and stopped chasing Yi Yuchen. Instead, it hovered in mid-air, constantly brewing.

At this moment, Yi Yuchen issued a mental warning, pushed Ming Daohong away, and floated into the air to look up at the sky.

The next moment, the energy reached its limit, and with a 'crack' in mid-air, a muffled thunderclap sounded in the clear sky. A thin, light blue lightning bolt, about a foot long, appeared out of thin air and struck towards Yi Yuchen.

Yi Yuchen's robes billowed, rising and falling like waves. His skin was as white as jade, with a pale golden hue, like a piece of pale golden glass, giving him an indestructible feel.

He raised his right hand, and a three-foot-seven-inch sword appeared, looking from a distance like holding a beam of light. He pointed, and the light went straight up to meet the lightning.

With a loud "boom," Yi Jifeng, Zhang Junbao, and Qin Sirong felt a bright light before their eyes, which blinded them. The sound that followed was deafening, like thunder.

At this moment, the three of them truly understood what it meant to be blind and deaf. In their panic, Yi Jifeng grabbed their hands, and his powerful true energy surged and circulated endlessly within their bodies.

………………

After an unknown amount of time, the three gradually regained their hearing and sight. Yi Jifeng withdrew his true energy, then a look of panic flashed in his eyes as he cried out, "Big Brother!"

Seeing Yi Jifeng run forward, Zhang Junbao helped Ming Daohong up and followed with Qin Sirong.

Arriving at the original spot, they saw a crater three or four zhang wide and five or six zhang deep blasted out of the original location. Yi Yuchen sat cross-legged at the bottom of the crater, his whole body surrounded by a pale gold color and flashing with lightning.

"Big brother!" Yi Jifeng said urgently, but when he didn't hear a response, he immediately jumped down.

As a result, when he was still four feet above Yi Yuchen's head, a wall of true energy appeared with lightning, and a force of recoil pushed him up.

Yi Jifeng was pushed back. The electric shock from his true energy made his body weak for a moment. He stood beside the pit, his face full of anxiety.

Zhang Junbao turned his gaze and grabbed him, saying, "Don't rush, that seems to be Brother Yi's protective true energy."

Yi Jifeng was taken aback, then realized what was happening. After looking at it carefully, he felt relieved. He patted Zhang Junbao's arm and said, "Junbao, thank you!"

Zhang Junbao said indifferently, "No need to thank me. You're just making a fuss because you're anxious. You'll naturally realize it when you calm down."

The three stood beside the pit, staring at Yi Yuchen, who was enveloped in electric shocks, for a moment. Qin Sirong asked, "What do we do now?"

Yi Jifeng said, "I will wait here for my elder brother to wake up."

Zhang Junbao said, "I'll stay with you!"

Yi Jifeng smiled gratefully, and Zhang Junbao nudged Ming Daohong, who was being supported, with his shoulder and said, "There's still one unconscious one here. We can't go anywhere. Let's put her down first."

The three of them placed Ming Daohong under a tree not far from the deep pit. Qin Sirong stayed with her, while Zhang Junbao went to retrieve the water bottles that the others had brought earlier.

"Fortunately, we found one that wasn't broken." Zhang Junbao handed a leather bag covered in sand to Qin Sirong, asking her to feed Ming Daohong some water.

Qin Sirong pinched Ming Daohong's chin, opened her mouth, poured a little water down her throat, and nodded after seeing that she could drink it.

Zhang Junbao breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to look for Yi Jifeng, who was standing next to the pit.

"Alright! Stop looking. Brother Yi shouldn't wake up so soon." Zhang Junbao said, looking at Yi Yuchen at the bottom of the pit, who was still occasionally surrounded by sparks.

He then pulled Yi Jifeng under a big tree, despite Yi's objections.

………………

After a while.

"Tell me, what happened just now?" Qin Sirong asked.

Zhang Junbao and Yi Jifeng both shook their heads. They both understood, but just by looking at the heavenly lightning descending, they knew it wouldn't be an easy thing to deal with.

"Could it be that Brother Yi is about to become an immortal?!" Zhang Junbao exclaimed, slapping his thigh.

Yi Jifeng smiled helplessly and said, "Junbao, stop joking..."

Zhang Junbao shrugged and said, "Just kidding! So what do we do now? We don't even know when we'll get there!"

Qin Sirong turned her gaze and said, "Since we have to wait, we can't do without water and food. Why don't I go to the market town and buy some?"

"No way!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Yi Jifeng's eyes, startling Zhang Junbao and Qin Sirong.

Yi Jifeng gave a wry smile and said, "I got too excited, but no one can leave now. As for water and food, I have my own ways."

As he spoke, he took out a cylindrical tube the size of a tinderbox from his pocket, threw it into the air, and unleashed a burst of true energy. Immediately, a sharp whistle rang out, accompanied by a plume of bright red smoke that soared into the sky.

“I brought six sword attendants with me. They are waiting in the nearby town. This is the signal fire for the Famous Sword Manor. They will come after they see it,” Yi Jifeng explained.

He then cupped his hands and said...

"I was too excited just now. Please don't mind, Junbao and Miss Qin. I will definitely make it up to you another day."

"But you two don't know that my elder brother was once ambushed, and there are definitely many people in the martial arts world who want to kill him."

"Therefore, since it concerns my elder brother's safety, I couldn't help but be a little nervous. Once the sword attendant arrives, if the three of you wish to leave, I will not stop you."

Zhang Junbao said indifferently...

"If we're brothers, we shouldn't say things like that."

"If Brother Yi is in danger, I'll be worried too. Mingjian Manor is a large and powerful family, and there will always be people who want to take advantage of the chaos. It's better to be careful than not!"

He patted Yi Jifeng on the shoulder, raised his head, and said, "I understand!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, six sharp whistles rose into the sky from afar, coming one after another.

Yi Jifeng channeled his inner energy and with a whoosh, charged forward. Soon, six figures, as fast as lightning, rushed toward them.

Yi Jifeng pointed to the deep pit and said, "Seal off a radius of 300 meters. No martial arts practitioners are allowed to approach. Anyone who tries to force their way in will be killed."

The six men bowed in agreement and dispersed in all directions.

Qin Sirong lowered her head, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes, but it was too late now. The six top-notch masters of Mingjian Villa, along with Yi Jifeng, could easily kill most of the martial arts world.

Chapter 214 Yi Jifeng's Shocking Demeanor and Ghostly Aura

As the sword servants of the Famous Sword Manor arrived, they sealed off the surrounding area. Soon after, other martial artists also arrived, as such a commotion was bound to attract attention.

However, upon seeing the sword servant exuding murderous intent, everyone tacitly stood guard three hundred meters away. After all, with their small arms and legs, there was no need for them to throw eggs at a mountain.

However, as the crowd grew larger and more people discussed the matter, and with the encouragement of some individuals, although no one said it aloud, everyone still harbored strong opinions about the Famous Sword Manor.

What do you think is here?

"Who knows? But judging from the way Mingjian Manor is acting, it must be something good."

"Does the Famous Sword Manor intend to take it for itself?"

"do you have any opinion?"

"I...I guess I don't have any more, right?"

"It might be an object from outer space. The crater is so big and it's charred. It looks like a divine iron from outer space has descended."

"have you seen?"

I was lucky enough to see him once.

"Could it be Marshal Yue's treasure?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Nonsense, didn't you see Zhang Junbao was there too?"

"You mean, Zhang Junbao and Mingjian Manor joined forces to dig up the treasure?"

"Make Mingjian Manor hand over General Yue's belongings; everyone will have a share."

"Yes, make Mingjian Manor hand it over. You go and talk to them."

Why don't you go and tell them!

"I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a baby crying for milk. I don't want to die yet."

"Damn it, so you're just trying to get me killed?"

"Didn't you say that Mingjian Manor should hand it over? Shouldn't you be the one to lead the way?"

I'll kill you first!

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

"Come on, let's give it a try."

"Let's give it a try!!"

Seeing the chaotic scene, Zhang Junbao and Yi Jifeng were also somewhat troubled.

"We can't let them continue making trouble like this. There are definitely people with ulterior motives here, and it would be troublesome if we were used," Yi Jifeng said, looking at the crowd.

Zhang Junbao said helplessly, "What's even more troublesome is that I still have General Yue's belongings here."

Qin Sirong's eyes flashed, and she said, "If they charge in headfirst, we'll kill them. Surely not everyone is unafraid of death."

Zhang Junbao refused, saying, "No! These are all heroes of the martial world, righteous warriors who resist the Jin. They cannot die in vain."

Yi Jifeng nodded in agreement...

"We can't kill indiscriminately, or the martial arts world of Jiangnan will descend into chaos first."

"If Qin Hui's henchmen were to take the opportunity to stir up trouble again, it would be an even greater disaster."

"This won't work, that won't work, so what do you suggest we do?" Qin Sirong sneered.

Zhang Junbao patted her shoulder, ignoring her angry glare, and said, "The martial world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions. I'll go and explain things to them."

"You go?"

Qin Sirong glanced at him, snorted disdainfully, and said, "If they could listen to you, they wouldn't have stolen General Yue's belongings!"

"Just explain it clearly!" Zhang Junbao said indifferently.

Qin Sirong sneered, "Once a person's greed takes hold, can you explain it away?"

"It's all about human effort; how will we know if we don't try?" Zhang Junbao said fearlessly.

………………

"They're here, they're here, they're coming!"

"What do they want to do?"

"Does he intend to share General Yue's treasure with us?"

"Enough with the nonsense, just listen and you'll understand."

What if they threaten us to leave?

"Fight them!"

"That's right, even a fierce tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves!"

………………

Looking at the surging crowd, Yi Jifeng cupped his hands and said, "Friends, I am Yi Jifeng from Mingjian Villa. My elder brother is in seclusion there and should not be disturbed. Please disperse."
