Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 582 - 559: A Personal Visit
Chapter 582: Chapter 559: A Personal Visit
Dan City, in an instant, became the focal point of the martial world in Qing Country.
Yunjin Manor, on the other hand, became the focus of Dan City, gathering the attention of countless martial artists.
After less than two days, at noon, outside Yunjin Manor, a rather rough voice shouted abuse.
“Damn Sword Scholar, your grandpa Murong Chui is here, let my two junior brothers go!”
The speaker was a bearded man with black skin, covered in long black hair, resembling an unevolved gorilla.
However, his physique was even more robust than Yelv Feng, his arms could run horses, his fists could support a person, and his eyes were as large as copper bells, seemingly ready to eat someone.
Hearing this person announce his name, everyone was shocked.
“Murong Chui, isn’t that the chief disciple of the Grandmaster of Wanma Country?”
“It’s said that Murong Chui’s martial arts have reached the Transformation Realm, only a step away from the Grandmaster level, his strength probably doesn’t differ much from the Sect Leaders of the four major sects!”
“Although the Sword Scholar has defeated two disciples of the Grandmaster, whether he can win against this Murong Chui is still uncertain.”
In just a few breaths, Wang Yukai swaggered out, picking at his ear, and said indifferently: “Who’s Murong Chui? Come on, I’m in a hurry, my wife told me to come back early for dinner.”
Hearing Wang Yukai’s dismissive words, as if not taking him seriously at all, Murong Chui was so angry that smoke seemed to come out of his seven orifices.
“Grandpa will skin you!”
In a blink, the two engaged in a fierce duel on the bluestone arena.
The sounds of ’ping, ping, pong, pong’ rang out.
In less than thirty breaths, a tendon in Murong Chui’s leg was cut, making swift movement impossible, turning him into Wang Yukai’s target practice.
A few dozen breaths later, he too fell under Wang Yukai’s treasured sword, his body covered in blood.
Unquestionably, Murong Chui became yet another captive in Yunjin Manor.
Having defeated Murong Chui, Wang Yukai’s strength, in everyone’s eyes, was once again elevated, nearly on par with the Sect Leaders of the four major sects.
Two days later, at night.
A group of men dressed in black silently crept outside Yunjin Manor, each with a robust physique, an indifferent expression, and eyes filled with murderous intent.
The leader, wearing a yellow felt hat, had many fine little braids hanging from either side, narrow eyes, high cheekbones, and thin cheeks, clearly a person with deep thoughts.
If anyone were here, they would definitely recognize this person as Hu Yancong, the third disciple of the Grandmaster.
He was infamous for his ruthlessness, known for using any means necessary, with many souls under his belt, making countless martial artists in the Central Plains tremble in fear.
In a sinister voice, he said, “If we can’t defeat them with force, we must outsmart them.”
“To deal with these Qing Country scum, why bother with rules?”
“Once we rescue Senior Brother and the others, who won’t owe me a favor afterward?”
His gaze swept over his men in black, showing satisfaction in his eyes.
To rescue his fellow senior brothers, he had gathered nearly all of Wanma Country’s experts sent to the Central Plains here.
Many of them had physiques and strength no less than those who could kill the Sect Leader of the Fenglei Sect, Hari Lun.
With this lineup, let alone breaking into a manor to rescue people, he felt confident in attacking the four major sects.
“Remember, go in and shoot, don’t waste time with them!” Hu Yancong coldly instructed.
“Yes!”
Under Hu Yancong’s lead,
The men in black stealthily infiltrated through a secluded corner of Yunjin Manor’s outer wall, then quickly moved towards the area indicated in the intelligence.
“Shoot!”
’Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!’
After a barrage of arrows, the men in black rushed into a relatively spacious-looking room.
However, upon entering, they heard crackling explosions and white smoke rose all around.
Each of the men in black wobbled like drunkards, soon collapsing unconscious on the ground.
’Tap, tap, tap.’
Sword Scholar Wang Yukai, wearing white pajamas, yawned as he slowly walked out from the room.
“Hu Yancong? I’ll give you a fair chance to fight.”
Hu Yancong’s face changed, but without a second thought, he turned and ran.
’Whoosh!’
A white light shot through the air, hitting Hu Yancong’s back hard.
He spat out a mouthful of blood mid-air, then fell powerlessly to the ground, his body shaking slightly, face full of horror.
Turning his head to look at Wang Yukai, he saw his opponent holding two stones in his hand.
“Such deep inner strength!” Hu Yancong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, speaking coldly, “Your strength indeed far surpasses ours, seemingly just a step away from Grandmaster level!
But this step can be a world apart, you could never imagine the terror of a Grandmaster, better wise up…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was covered with a specially made white sack.
“So much blabbering, just be a good captive.” Wang Yukai said.
Thus, the four disciples of the Grandmaster from Wanma Country, Tuoba Hong, Yelv Feng, Hu Yancong, and Murong Chui, were all captured by Sword Scholar Wang Yukai alone.
In Lou Yi’s previous life, this would be called collecting stamps in one go.
It’s heard that the officials of Wanma Country beyond the frontier were enraged, clamoring to raise an army to attack Qing Country, to capture this Sword Scholar and execute him by dismembering to uphold the national prestige.
What they didn’t expect was, more outrageous things were yet to come.
Wang Yukai subsequently announced that on the third day of the upcoming month, the Day of Qian Yuan, he would lead the martial community fellows to commemorate the martial heroes who died resisting the invaders from Wanma Country.
Including the Fenglei Sect Leader Situ Mang, Jade Sea Saber Mo Wuya, Invincible Iron Fist Cheng Lin, and Chief of the Escort Agency Ren Dafu…
This news shook the world.
“During the time when the Taizu emperor attacked Xiangyang City, the first city in the world, almost running out of supplies and about to be defeated.
At the critical moment, Daoist Qian Yuan communicated with heaven and earth, causing a large number of meteors to fall from the sky, assisting Taizu in breaking through the city forcibly, establishing the national destiny, which forms the foundation of our Qing Country for over four hundred years thereafter.
That day was the third day of July, therefore it was later called the Day of Qian Yuan.”
“It’s heard that the Grandmaster master of the Sword Scholar has a Secret Technique of transforming talisman paper into swords, which is different from other Grandmasters, instead somewhat similar to Daoist Qian Yuan.
Could it be that he actually belongs to the lineage of Daoist Qian Yuan?”
“Commemorating the heroes against the savages, shouldn’t there be sacrificial offerings…”
“Sacrificial offerings? Aren’t there four ready-made ones?”
Everyone knew, on the third day of the next month, something big would surely happen in Dan City, with great chances of a Grandmaster showing up in person.
As the day approached, more and more martial artists arrived in Dan City.
Among them, many had reputations no less than top experts like ’One Palm Flattening the River’ Li Weizhou, causing a sensation as soon as they appeared.
There was a majestic old man with lion-like white hair, surrounded by a group of disciples and grand-disciples, who was none other than the first fist master in the southeastern martial world, ’Earthshattering Fist’ Zhang Laoxi.
There was a peculiar man with five rapiers on his back, exuding an imposing aura, known in the martial world as a sword enthusiast, who had defeated several top experts within ten moves, nicknamed ’Lingnan Sword Maniac’.
There was a middle-aged man with a snow-white eagle perched on his shoulder, expressionless, with no human aura detectable on him, even his heartbeat lowered to an unimaginable low level.
He was the renowned expert ’Cangshan Guest’, rumored to have strengths not less than the Sect Leaders of the four major sects.
Also…
And two days before the Day of Qian Yuan.
A group of men dressed in white scholar uniforms, wearing scholar caps, with elegant demeanor, came in an impressive formation towards Yunjin Manor, instantly causing a huge commotion in Dan City.
“It’s the men from the Haoran Sect, they also came to Yunjin Manor to visit!” someone exclaimed.
“The Sect Leader of the Haoran Sect came personally, it must be for the sake of the Grandmaster’s face!”
…
