"What are you here for?"
Chu Yang countered with a question.
“My master was worried that after the Sword Saint was defeated, Xiong Ba would take his anger out on the people of Wushuang City, so he sent me here as a persuader.”
Although Jian Chen was unhappy with Chu Yang, he still maintained the respect he should have, after all, the other party was a master who could be compared with his master.
"Why are you saying all this to him? Get out of my way right now! Only I can take Xiong Ba's life!"
Bu Jingyun clearly knew about Sword Twenty-Three and was afraid that the Sword Saint would really kill Xiong Ba, leaving him with no revenge. So he rushed toward the Sword Saint's true form.
"I've been annoyed with you for a long time. You're just as annoying as Star-Lord's terrible teammate!"
If it weren't for Bu Jingyun, Xiong Ba would have been dead long ago. He created so many subsequent plot developments, making him a top-tier war criminal, just like Star-Lord.
Chu Yang kicked him in the face without any hesitation.
Bu Jingyun raised his sword to parry, and the next second, he and his sword flew out and he fainted on the steps.
Chapter 118. The Death of Xiong Ba, Boros Attacks!
118.
Without Bu Jingyun's interference, and with Sword Saint's well-prepared Sword Twenty-Three, Xiong Ba was doomed.
Chu Yang's shadow clone carefully observed the Sword Saint's Sword Twenty-Three, and disappeared the moment Xiong Ba died.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Chu Yang suddenly had a number of memories flooding his mind.
Not long after, a group of martial arts practitioners with panicked expressions came out of the No.1 Under Heaven Restaurant.
Many people were shouting, "Xiong Ba is dead! The members of the World Society are fighting amongst themselves!"
With Xiong Ba dead, all the gang members felt they could take the position of gang leader, especially the ambitious Twelve Fiends of Tianchi.
They were essentially Xiong Ba's personal guards. Apart from Qin Shuang, Nie Feng, and Bu Jingyun, the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi had the greatest influence in the World Society.
No one dared to intervene in the internal strife within the World Society, as most people were afraid of being caught in the crossfire and hurriedly fled the World's Number One Tower.
Some members of the Tianxia Society even mingled with the crowd and escaped together.
such as……
Wen Chou Chou.
This sycophantic villain got to where he is today entirely by winning over Xiong Ba's favor.
With Xiong Ba's death, his status plummeted. Coupled with his usual arrogance and numerous enemies, if he didn't leave now, his fate would be certain death.
Wen Chou Chou was congratulating himself on his cleverness, realizing that things were not going well and he should make a quick escape, when suddenly a strong hand grabbed his shoulder.
Wen Chou Chou was startled and didn't even look at the person's face before clasping his hands together, closing his eyes, and pleading, "Sir, spare my life! I'm just a nobody, I have no connection with the World Society, please have mercy!"
"Wen Chou Chou, is Xiong Ba really dead?"
Wen Chou Chou recognized the voice, opened her eyes, and exclaimed in surprise, "Bu Jingyun? You're not dead?"
Bu Jingyun was only concerned about Xiong Ba's life or death, staring intently at Wen Chou Chou, "Is Xiong Ba dead or not?"
Wen Chou Chou shuddered in fright and hurriedly said, "Dead! Dead! Utterly dead, not even a god could save him!"
Bu Jingyun released Wen Chou Chou's shoulder and stood aside, looking lost and dejected. He had been thinking about revenge all along, but now that Xiong Ba was dead, where could he avenge Kong Ci? Where could he vent his anger?
Bu Jingyun turned to stare at Chu Yang, "You stopped me from taking revenge, you will pay the price!"
He was about to make a move when Jian Chen stopped him. Jian Chen whispered in his ear, "This person's martial arts are no less than my master's. You can't beat him. Don't act rashly."
Chu Yang ignored him and instead grabbed Wen Chou Chou, who was about to slip away, and said indifferently, "Explain to him Xiong Ba's plan to divide the three of them, so that he doesn't look like a fool."
"Okay, sir."
Wen Chou Chou lowered his head and looked down obediently. Although he didn't know how the person in front of him knew, he still did as he was told, telling Bu Jingyun about the Mud Bodhisattva's prophecy and the cause and effect.
After listening, Bu Jingyun's expression became complicated. "I misunderstood Senior Brother Qin and Junior Brother Feng..."
"If you don't go up now, Qin Shuang will be beaten to death by the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi," Chu Yang kindly reminded him.
"I'll settle the score with you next time!"
Bu Jingyun gave Chu Yang a cold glance.
Yo ho!
You think you can be so easy to please?
Chu Yang kicked Bu Jingyun hard in the butt, sending him flying to the top of the mountain. Bu Jingyun clutched his butt and writhed on the ground in pain.
By the time Bu Jingyun wanted to settle accounts with Chu Yang, Chu Yang had already disappeared with the Sword Saint's remains.
He could only swallow this bitter pill and head towards the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven. Given Qin Shuang's current loyalty to Xiong Ba, she might really fight to the death with the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi.
After leaving the World Society, Chu Yang carried the Sword Saint's remains to the China Pavilion, traveling at a speed many times faster than when he arrived.
Wuming seemed to have anticipated that Chu Yang would bring back the Sword Saint's remains, and had prepared a burial place for the Sword Saint in advance.
The two held a simple funeral for the Sword Saint.
"I believe that Xiong Ba's fate was not meant to end like this, which is why I advised the Sword Saint not to take any risks. I never expected that even Xiong Ba would die."
The nameless man sighed deeply, still unable to figure out where he went wrong.
He never anticipated that Chu Yang would be a variable who didn't belong here.
"Before the Sword Saint passed away, he passed on Sword Twenty-Three to me, hoping that I would find him a successor. I would like to stay at the Sword Saint's China Pavilion for a while and discuss the mysteries of Sword Twenty-Three with him..."
Wuming was also very curious about Sword Twenty-Three, so he readily agreed.
With the nameless help, Chu Yang will comprehend the Twenty-Three Sword Techniques even faster.
But Chu Yang had more important things to do. Considering that Wuming had not yet mastered the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, Chu Yang decided to manually speed him up.
During Chu Yang's stay at the Zhonghua Pavilion, he discussed Sword Twenty-Three with Wuming while intentionally or unintentionally reminding him of the core principles of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin.
"Senior, do you think there's any martial art in this world that requires one to first cripple their own martial arts before they can learn it?"
"Disable your martial arts skills? Where did you hear that? It doesn't sound like the right way."
"It was the Taoist who taught me swordsmanship who said that he suffered a great calamity when he was young, and all his martial arts skills were lost, as if he had become a blank sheet of paper that had never been written on."
"A blank sheet of paper that has not been written on?"
"Yes, he studied a wide variety of subjects when he was young, like a messy sheet of paper. Once it became a blank sheet again, he could concentrate on painting one color."
"Is it the Taoist who taught you the essence of Tai Chi swordsmanship?"
Chu Yang nodded. In order to help Wuming comprehend the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, he had no choice but to use Zhang Sanfeng as a pretext.
The effect is also very good.
Chu Yang used Zhang Sanfeng's words to tell Wuming many key points about the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin.
It also incorporates some concepts about Tai Chi, as well as Zhang Sanfeng's many years of martial arts experience.
On the day of his duel with Chu Yang, Wuming had already gained profound insights. After Chu Yang's special guidance, the inspiration for the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin suddenly burst forth in his mind.
The following day, Wuming specially asked Chu Yang to protect him, and began a long period of seclusion, instructing no one to disturb him.
He completely missed the news of the emergence of the peerless sword.
Although Xiong Ba is dead, Bu Jingyun will most likely still go to Baijian Villa to retrieve the peerless sword, because he hid Kong Ci's remains in the imperial mausoleum.
The imperial tomb contains an impenetrable stone weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, which can only be broken open with an unparalleled sword.
Ultimately, it was Bu Jingyun who brought trouble upon himself.
However, Duan Lang has already been killed by Chu Yang, so even if Bu Jingyun goes to Baijian Villa, the plot may not necessarily develop in the original direction.
After all, Jian Chen was turned into a beast after Duan Lang fed him the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Pill.
Two months later.
The turmoil caused by the peerless sword has come to an end. Bu Jingyun snatched the sword and left without a trace, while Jian Chen returned to Zhonghua Pavilion unharmed, showing no signs of anything amiss.
Just as Chu Yang was feeling regretful that he couldn't send Jian Chen on his way, Wuming broke through his cultivation barrier, his sword energy and sword intent becoming exceptionally pure.
"Many thanks to my young friend for protecting me for so many days, which allowed me to cultivate the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source by chance!"
After Wuming mastered the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique, Chu Yang challenged him to a duel. Wuming readily agreed, seemingly wanting to test the power of the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique.
The two returned to the same woods as before.
The only difference was that the Sword Saint was missing from the spectators.
It's embarrassing.
As the only audience member present, Jian Chen was still very excited, even though he disliked Chu Yang.
This is perhaps the highest level of swordsmanship in the world.
And he will be a witness.
Unlike last time, Wuming held the Hero Sword in his hand from the start, while Chu Yang learned from the Sword Saint to control the sword with his qi and fight with the sword qi.
The nameless one unleashed a mysterious sword technique.
