Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

"Very well, I never thought that I would let the wolf into the house and let you become a force to be reckoned with." Looking at Bu Jingyun and the others who seemed to have been prepared all along, Xiong Ba's face twitched, and he said without letting up.

Bu Jingyun and Nie Renwang remained silent.

Duan Lang chuckled:

"Xiongba, you're still a pathetic wretch who knows nothing. The World Society is already ours."

"If you hadn't tried to ambush me and absorb all my power, we could have spared you for a while. Now, you've just asked for your own death."

Xiong Ba chuckled a few times, then said in surprise, "I didn't expect you, you slippery little brat, to have secretly concealed your skills, causing me to fail at the last moment."

He clenched his right fist lightly, as if everything was still under control, and said, "It's all good this way. None of you will live. I will take this opportunity to eliminate you traitors in one fell swoop and regain control of the World Society."

Bu Jingyun coldly looked at the group opposite him and said, "Xiong Ba is under the Mandate of Heaven and cannot be allowed to escape, otherwise it will bring great trouble. Regardless of whether I can kill him or not, I will kill him today."

Without waiting for anyone else to react, Bu Jingyun turned around, clapped his hands together, and instantly unleashed a surge of energy that enveloped Xiong Ba.

At the same time, Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai, with their swords and sabers, formed a dense array of sword and saber energy that surrounded Xiong Ba from the left and right.

Nie Feng, standing to the side, gave a wry smile. In a flash, he was already above Xiong Ba's head, delivering a powerful kick that enveloped Xiong Ba in a dense barrage of energy.

On the other side, Duan Lang smiled wickedly, seemingly multiplying into three, punching the Tianchi assassins, kicking the leader of the Tianchi assassins, Tong Huang, and slapping Qin Shuang: "Your opponent is me!"

Chapter 567 Xiong Ba and the Eccentric

On the other side, facing the combined attack of four people, Xiong Ba's eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity. As he channeled his true energy, he threw a punch. His powerful true energy instantly transformed into the Frost Fist Ice Force, freezing and disintegrating Bu Jingyun's palm force. At the same time, he tapped his toes and leaped backward. His right leg used the Wind God Kick to cancel out Nie Feng's leg force, even forcing Nie Feng to retreat directly.

Then he channeled his energy into both palms, unleashing a move called "Gloomy Clouds," where his immense true energy carried the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling. One palm drew upon the Snow Drinking Blade Qi, and the other drew upon the Eclipse Sun Sword Qi, causing the two to cancel each other out.

He then clapped his hands together, and a ball of true energy transformed into protective true energy, blasting the four people away.

"Hahaha, so this is all you are? You dare to provoke me? Prepare to die!"

Xiong Ba laughed loudly, and instantly waved his hands, sending streams of true energy like cannonballs towards the four people.

Bu Jingyun clapped his hands together, unleashing a continuous surge of energy like rising clouds and mist. The powerful Cloud-Dispelling Palm technique concealed a surging sword aura, like a turbulent celestial river, with wind and waves rolling. Nie Feng, who moved later but arrived first, flickered unpredictably, instantly multiplying from one to two, two to four, four to eight... The densely packed figures roared like a raging storm, fast as lightning, with sword energy as dense as clouds and rain, and as violent as thunder.

When the two joined forces, their true energy clashed and surged, causing ghosts and gods to wail and the world to shift. The collision and intertwining of their true energy overturned the First Building Under Heaven.

With a deafening roar, from the foot of the mountain, two enormous tornadoes of true energy descended from the summit of the Tianxia Society's headquarters; one was like a celestial river falling, the other like a raging storm, sweeping across the entire summit of Tianshan Mountain; even the clouds high above the heavens seemed to change color.

Before the members of the World Society could even react, three figures leaped into the sky. Two other figures flanked Xiong Ba, attacking him fiercely. The three moved with lightning speed, rushing from the shattered World First Building to the heavens and then landing back at the Third Branch School.

Along the way, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, leaving not a single tile standing. It was only at this moment that Nie Renwang, Duan Shuai, Duan Lang, and Qin Shuang, the three assassins of Tianchi, crawled out from under the ruins of the First Building Under Heaven.

Watching the three figures moving so fast they were almost invisible, leaving only afterimages, Duan Lang cursed under his breath.

Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai exchanged glances and simultaneously raised their weapons. Nie Renwang unleashed a move called "Cold Blade Ice Heart," his icy true energy freezing the body and mind. The three assassins of Tianchi felt a chill run down their spines just by looking at the Snow Drinking Blade, as if their entire bodies had been frozen.

Before the three could react, a blazing sword aura, like a blazing sun, streaked across the sky and vanished in a flash.

The next moment, the blade energy and sword energy struck at the same time. Amidst a series of hissing sounds, the three assassins of Tianchi were like valves that had been opened, with streams of blood gushing out like springs, and they instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Meanwhile, Duan Lang unleashed the Duan Family's Three Ultimate Divine Skills, perfected by Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai, and after ten moves, he suppressed Qin Shuang under the shadow of his fists.

………………

"What should we do now?"

"We shouldn't interfere. Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng have already formed their momentum, and their true energy is connected as one. If we make a move now, it will only disrupt their momentum."

"How could Xiong Ba suddenly regain his senses and martial arts skills? He had been in a daze the whole time. He didn't even hide the fact that he was secretly searching for the divine physiognomist and the divine physician from us."

"Perhaps he is destined to dominate!"

Watching the figures moving freely across the three training grounds, Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai asked and answered each other while catching their breath.

As they spoke, the two moved in perfect unison, unleashing a ten-zhang-long icy blade aura and a ten-zhang-long eclipsing sword aura simultaneously towards the ruins of the collapsed Number One Building Under Heaven.

The blade and sword energies grazed Wen Chou Chou's terrified face, striking the same point simultaneously. The two streams of true energy, one cold and one hot, exploded like thunder, and the violent force was like a tsunami, instantly throwing Wen Chou Chou away. At the same time, a strange figure wearing an ice mask flew out from under the ruins with an eerie laugh.

Before the strange man could land, Nie Renwang used the move "Peach Blossom", moving with his sword. Xue Yin unleashed countless sword strikes, and the dense sword energy locked the strange man in a web of blades.

The strange man let out a strange cry and immediately waved his hands like the wind, using fists, palms, fingers, and claws to slap, strike, grab, and flick, shattering the blade energy with countless exquisite moves.

Before he could retreat, Duan Shuai unleashed his "Sun Sitting in Sorrow City" move. The Fire Kirin Sword fell like the sun, bringing boundless resentment and bewitching the mind. The sword energy that shook the mind pierced straight into the top of the strange man's head.

Seeing the sword energy strike the strange man, Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai were not pleased; instead, their expressions changed drastically.

Nie Renwang Xueyin brandished his sword, unleashing a move called "A Glimpse of Startling Cold," his body moving with the sword, the lightning-fast sword shadows slashing in all directions in an instant;

The next moment, a dense series of clanging sounds rang out, and a figure as faint as a shadow was seen waving his hand to clash head-on with the Snow Drinking Blade;

Before the strange man could make another move, Duan Shuai on the other side unleashed a move called "Sword Shadow Overlapping," with the Eclipse Sword Qi as dense as falling stars, and countless star-like sword energies attacking the strange man.

The two men, one with sweeping, lightning-fast sword energy and the other with a powerful yet gentle sword energy, worked together seamlessly to force the phantom back in an instant.

With a loud 'boom', Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai swept backwards with their weapons, and the strange man's figure flashed, landing three zhang in front of the two.

Seeing that Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai's hands were trembling like Parkinson's patients, the strange man actually praised them:

"Good! You truly live up to your reputation as the Northern Drinking Mad Saber and the Southern Lin Sword Master. If I hadn't come here specifically to check, the World Society would have really fallen into your hands."

"It's strange. When did you two acquire such martial arts skills? I also know the Six Secrets of Frost and the Eclipse Sword Technique, but my execution is slightly different from yours. Would you two be willing to enlighten me?"

Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai exchanged a glance, quickly regaining their breath, but ignored the strange man.

………………

On the third school field.

Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng each displayed their skills, and their previously hidden martial arts amazed everyone. Xiong Ba was so furious that he wondered when the two had acquired such martial arts.

Moreover, their moves and internal energy seemed to originate from the same source, only with different emphases. The more they fought together, the more adept they became. With their cooperation, their moves were like the ever-changing winds and clouds on Mount Tian, ​​leaving no flaws to be found.

Moreover, as the fight went on, their true energy not only did not run out, but became even stronger. The entire summit of Tianshan Mountain seemed to be caught in a whirlwind of wind and clouds, with sword energy, palm force, and leg strength plowing through the three branch school grounds again and again.

At a certain moment, Xiong Ba let out a muffled groan, his steps faltering slightly. Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, who were attacking together, exchanged a glance. Nie Feng vanished like the wind, while Bu Jingyun disappeared into the clouds. With a series of "bang bang bang" sounds, Xiong Ba let out another muffled groan and his figure staggered backward.

When he stopped with a clatter, his clothes were torn on his chest and back, his chest was covered with dense blade energy, and his back was covered with sword energy that clung to his bones like maggots.

"How could this be? How is this possible?" Xiong Ba said, still unwilling to accept it.

As he circulated his true energy wildly, it surged like boiling water, rushing out in all directions. Xiong Ba's internal organs felt like they were on fire, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Before Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng could continue their attack, Xiong Ba's left eye turned bright red like dripping blood, and his right eye turned as cold as a sapphire. He clutched his head with both hands and howled loudly, rolling around on the ground.

The howl, as fierce as a tiger, instantly startled Nie Renwang and his group who were not far away; Duan Lang and Qin Shuang immediately stopped and looked towards the Third Branch Training Ground.

Chapter 568 The Incompetence of Emperor Shitian, the Death of Xiong Ba

"waste!"

The strange man, who had been looking at Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai with a mocking expression, let out a cold snort and then flashed toward Xiong Ba.

But the strange man remained in the same spot for the next second.

It turned out that a hand had somehow landed on the strange man's right shoulder. When Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai saw who was behind the strange man, they couldn't help but relax.

The strange man simply turned his head and instantly unleashed countless attacks—fists, palms, fingers, claws, legs, knives, spears, halberds, clubs, and even Japanese martial arts and ancient yoga techniques. His constantly shifting figure was like hundreds of clones attacking his back simultaneously.

But to his surprise, there was nothing behind him, as if no one was there at all. The hand on his right shoulder exerted force, and the strange man let out a wail, instantly kneeling on his right knee.

The person who arrived was Su Yuchen.

"Emperor Shitian? Xu Fu!"

Before the strange man could make another move, Su Yuchen's internal energy surged into his body like spider silk, sealing his meridians, severing his acupoints, blocking his dantian, and binding his joints, turning him into a puppet.

The next moment, a burst of icy flames surged from Di Shitian's body, and his figure instantly dissipated like particles, reforming three zhang away. Then, he took a step and was about to use the Ruyi Zongxian Step to escape.

"Huh? It's the power of the phoenix." Feeling his true energy being inexplicably dissipated, Su Yuchen was slightly startled, but then he realized what was happening and grabbed Di Shitian again in a flash.

Before he could counterattack, Su Yuchen turned the five-colored divine light in his palm, sealing the five elements; as the five elements divine light flowed, the phoenix blood in Di Shitian's body immediately subsided.

You have received the benefits of humanitarian aid; other benefits await discovery.

Poor Xu Fu, he never understood the true purpose of the phoenix blood.

As the narration began, Su Yuchen's eyes flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he had already thought of something about Di Shitian that he could care about.

"If it's not martial arts, then it can only be phoenix blood? Legend has it that the phoenix is ​​imbued with the five elements and carries yin and yang on its back. Could it be the innate five elements?"

Thinking of this, Su Yuchen looked intently at Di Shitian, who was like a dead dog; and when he met Su Yuchen's gaze, a divine light flashed in Di Shitian's eyes, and a series of illusions, like a heavenly palace, entered Su Yuchen's sea of ​​consciousness.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, a dazzling blue sword light erupted instantly, its sword energy, capable of shattering everything tangible and intangible, material and immaterial, directly turning Emperor Shitian's eyes into two bloody holes.

Ignoring Di Shitian, who was rolling and howling on the ground like Xiong Ba, Su Yuchen turned to look at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun who had come to his side.

[With your cheat-like abilities, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun each possess immeasurable power; one month's cultivation is equivalent to ten years of ordinary people's training.]

Looking at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, who were not even twenty years old, yet each possessed nearly two hundred years of internal energy, Su Yuchen was filled with admiration.

“The Mandate of Heaven has changed, and the Mandate of Heaven for Hegemony has been extinguished.”

Su Yuchen had just said it.

On the other side, Bu Jingyun pressed down with both palms, and the overwhelming force directly slammed into Xiong Ba, who was convulsing all over.

Seeing Xiong Ba completely dead, his internal organs turned to mush, Bu Jingyun stared blankly for a moment before turning and descending Tianshan Mountain.

Having abruptly killed his enemy, Bu Jingyun needs to offer solace to the Huo family.

The poor boy needs to be alone.

Nie Feng was slightly taken aback, as if he had thought of something. He clasped his hands in a salute to Su Yuchen and then vanished into the wind.

The kind-hearted god of wind sensed the loneliness and confusion of the young Grim Reaper, and went to find some wine.

………………

At the very moment that Xiong Ba died.

Somewhere along the Yangtze River, in the roadside grass, a clay bodhisattva shaped like a beggar suddenly raised its head and looked up at the heavens.

"With Xiong Ba dead, has the Mandate of Heaven vanished?"

Before he could think any further, the 'Heavenly Cry Scripture' hidden within him spontaneously activated, with countless illusory traces of light, like tadpoles, swarming across his body.

The void around the clay bodhisattva seemed to be distorted, and with him as the center, the law of cause and effect transformed into an invisible spider web that enveloped all directions.

With a 'snap', the spider web seemed to encounter an invisible obstacle, tearing open two huge slits. The Mud Bodhisattva spat out a mouthful of blood, but instead of being angry, he was delighted, laughing loudly as he looked at the dense bloodstains on the ground.

"The Emperor establishes order, stirring up storms and daring to change the world!"

"Hahahaha, destiny has changed! Hahahaha... destiny lies in the south!"

After a long while, the clay bodhisattva, resembling a madman, shouldered his basket and muttered to himself, "Is destiny in the south? Wushuang City?"

He shook his head, no longer hesitated, and got up to head towards Wushuang City.

………………

The headquarters of the World Society.

Feeling the karmic connection of fate upon him for a moment, only to be severed just as quickly, Su Yuchen didn't bother to pay any attention to it.

Facing the questioning gazes of Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai, Su Yuchen said calmly, "The destiny has changed. The Emperor Xuanyuan Sword has been born and has chosen Dugu Ming. The unification of China is just around the corner."

Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai were slightly taken aback, and asked incredulously, "The Xuanyuan Sword?"

Su Yuchen didn't explain; everything would become clear once they saw the Xuanyuan Sword.

"The mandate of heaven has been decided. I need the World Alliance to quickly merge with Wushuang City to stabilize the land, gather all the martial artists, and restore order to the martial world. Do you have any objections?"

Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai looked at each other and then shook their heads. Only Duan Lang, who was standing to the side, opened his mouth to speak, but when he met Su Yuchen's cold gaze, he immediately lowered his head.

Duan Shuai said, "Since that's the case, we should follow the will of Heaven. I wonder when we can launch a counterattack against Japan?"

Su Yuchen shook his head and said:

"The merger of Wushuang City and Tianxia Society still requires dealing with the imperial court, which is the supreme authority in the martial arts world, as well as pacifying the people, consolidating forces, and training the army... These are not things that can be accomplished overnight."

"The unification of China still requires your continued efforts to strengthen the nation's power and cleanse Japan at the lowest possible cost."

"It is our duty!" Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai said, bowing with their hands clasped.

Su Yuchen gave Duan Lang a deep look, which made him feel cold all over and sweat pour down his forehead before letting him go. Looking at Qin Shuang and Wen Chou Chou standing to the side, he thought that the two of them were able to assist Xiong Ba in managing the World Society, so their internal affairs skills must have been maxed out.

"I won't say anything more. If you two have any questions, you can ask Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai. Both of you are talented, and I still hope that you can continue to contribute," Su Yuchen said.

Wen Chou Chou nodded obsequiously with a smile, while Qin Shuang remained silent.

Su Yuchen smiled and said, "Xiong Ba has a daughter named You Ruo, who is hiding in the Tianchi Courtyard. Qin Shuang, go and tell her that as long as he behaves himself, I will not make things difficult for her."
