Star Sky Professional

Whoosh!

In the countryside, a figure was hurrying along the road.

He used Qinggong, his movement technique extremely fast.

In a flash, he arrived at the edge of the village.

But what he saw was nothing but scorched earth...

"Uncle Da Luo, Sister Cuihua..."

Xun Heihu saw this scene and couldn't help but fall silent.

Although he had long known that the current age was chaotic, Martial Artists ran rampant, and common people were less than grass.

But seeing his own hometown utterly destroyed was a completely different matter.

'My hometown is like this. Even now the small mountain village where my parents are hiding... What if it happens to find itself between two third-grade Grandmasters battling, then what?'

Xun Heihu clenched his fists.

As someone who was ostensibly a fourth-grade Fetal Breath, but in reality a third-grade Bengyue Realm martial artist, he deeply understood his destructive power.

In the end, collapsing mountains was just a trivial thing!

For ordinary people, it was more like a moving catastrophe.

"Senior... Why is the world like this?"

Xun Heihu was a bit confused.

"Your confusion and lack of confidence... are only because you lack power."

From the True Martial Talisman, Fang Xing sneered: "Want to fix it? It's simple... Break through to the Super Grade above First Grade, unify the world, set Jiuzhou as one, then ride over the martial world, destroy sects, and wipe out schools, then promulgate court laws to constrain the Martial Arts; this world, whatever you want it to be, it will be!"

"Jiuzhou, set as one?"

Xun Heihu took a deep breath: "Me? Can I achieve the great feats of Emperor Taizu of Dacan, Emperor Taizu of Dayuan... and Emperor Wu like that?"

Just then, he suddenly turned around and saw Jiang Yu Yan catching up.

"Xun Heihu, it really is you!"

Jiang Yu Yan smiled brightly, as hundreds of flowers blossomed: "I came to thank you for drawing your sword to help... By the way, why did you leave without saying goodbye back then?"

"Alas..."

Xun Heihu sighed: "My parents were preparing to move far away, naturally I could only follow them..."

"I see."

Jiang Yu Yan obviously sensed that there was a story, but she was a smart woman and wouldn't delve deeply. Instead, she brought up other matters: "Do you remember Feng Chun? He later opened a restaurant, and Wei Chigang and other senior brothers often visit..."

"By the way, both Wei Chigang and I later passed the assessment and joined the Five Beasts Sect, and he lamented your absence..."

Listening to Jiang Yu Yan's narration, Xun Heihu's expression gradually softened, and the originally cold heart seemed to become a bit tender.

At this moment, he looked behind Jiang Yu Yan: "A master has arrived, is it your Daoist Guardian?"

Jiang Yu Yan turned around and saw a man in black.

His figure was tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, his cheeks were narrow and long, his eyes protruding, and his appearance was very peculiar.

"Protector Zhen?"

Jiang Yu Yan hurriedly bowed, her heart stirred, knowing this must be the protector responsible for escorting their group this time from the Five Beasts Sect.

Such protectors are mostly incompetent disciples or outside experts from the sect, their cultivation at least above the fifth grade, and their practical experience in martial arts is extremely rich.

If she were not a Core Disciple, she might not have such benefits.

"You're Xun Heihu? The first on the Hidden Dragon List of Ling State? Formerly a student at White Deer Lower Institute?"

Protector Zhen looked at Xun Heihu and suddenly smiled: "Are you interested in joining our Five Beasts Sect?"

In the current generation of Five Beasts Sect, the senior brother was suppressed by Nie Renlong, leaving many people feeling ashamed.

If this Xun Heihu can suppress Nie Renlong, then he will have made an outstanding contribution to the sect.

"I have no intention of joining a sect."

Xun Heihu directly shook his head to refuse.

This Protector Zhen seemed to be an old Innate expert, a sect protector of a Great Sect, practiced in sect esoteric skills, far superior to the scattered Innate peak experts of the martial world.

However, he had no desire to join the Five Beasts Sect back then, naturally now he was even less willing.

Originally, Jiang Yu Yan heard Protector Zhen trying to recruit Xun Heihu, and there was some expectation.

However, Xun Heihu immediately refused, causing Jiang Yu Yan to sigh inwardly.

"You brat, disrespect for a toast, preferring to drink a penalty drink... Do you really think we couldn't catch your slip back then?"

Protector Zhen's eyes instantly turned cold: "Since you don't want to be one of us, let's settle the score for the Howling Celestial Dog!"

Xun Heihu's expression changed: "You... Could you be the one whose ancestral graves were dug up?"

"Die!"

Protector Zhen shouted coldly, his figure like a whirlwind, charging forward fiercely.

Faced with a state prodigy, having just seen him make a move, confirming it was a fourth-grade Fetal Breath state, he did not have a bit of carelessness.

In a gust of wind, Protector Zhen's right hand brushed his waist, instantly pulling out a cold moon-shaped saber!

This saber's blade was like an iron ruler, incredibly thin, originally coiled around his waist, now drawn out, a sharp aura rushed directly forward.

The blade was icy cold; along with his blade technique, it was like a bright moon hanging high!

Jiang Yu Yan saw this strike and immediately felt her own swordsmanship was as laughable as a child's play.

'So, Zhen the protector resorts to murder at the slightest disagreement?'

'Is our sect really so dismissive of talents from other places?'

Jiang Yu Yan felt a bit suffocated.

Actually, if it weren't for Nie Renlong's master being a renowned warrior in the Chu State, Nie Renlong might have already been dead...

Clang!

Facing this slash, Xun Heihu's expression remained unchanged. His right hand swiftly moved forward, gently probing, and instantly seized within the arc of the sword light.

Swish!

The cold crescent moon stagnated in an instant.

Zhen the protector felt as if his treasured blade had sliced into an iron clamp, unable to move an inch.

He looked intently, only to find his precious sword caught between Xun Heihu's fingers. With horror and disbelief, he exclaimed, "This is impossible!"

After all, he was an experienced Innate martial artist, one who had practiced the sect's ultimate skills.

And Xun Heihu?

Rumor had it he was just a wandering swordsman, so why could he overcome him?

"You want to kill me?"

Xun Heihu sighed, "I've roamed the martial world for many years, witnessing murders for revenge, for love, for wealth, and for lust... But to kill out of mere jealousy or disdain, now that's rarely seen… Don't you know a saying? He who kills will be killed!"

As he spoke, his left hand flicked lightly.

A blood hole immediately appeared on Zhen the protector's chest, and he fell down with a bewildered expression: "No... You can't kill me! I am the protector of the Five Beasts Sect... Spare me..."

Zhen the protector muttered, his eyes gradually losing focus.

Xun Heihu sighed again, and turned to Jiang Yu Yan.

Jiang Yu Yan suddenly felt her legs tremble, regretting her curiosity and decision to follow. Could the person who just killed the protector spare her?

"Ah..."

Xun Heihu sighed a faint sigh, looking at Jiang Yu Yan, "Tell me... how should I handle you?"

"You won't kill me?"

Jiang Yu Yan's eyes shifted, then she smiled sweetly, "My only way to survive might be to go back, kill those disciples to silence them, submit proof of allegiance… then flee with you across the world?"

Xun Heihu was stunned, speechless: 'Elder… this woman is so shameless, did she latch onto me now?'

'Haha… you scared someone, they're just racking their brains to survive.'

Fang Xing laughed heartily: 'Perfect… wasn't she the one you had a crush on when you were young? Just go for it!'

'Elder, don't mess around… I've roamed the martial world for years, seen all kinds of beauties,' Xun Heihu responded seriously.

'Yet none caught your eye, she's that unforgettable white moonlight... Moreover… over the past ten years, you've consumed my food and drink… awakening all twelve extraordinary Ancient Martial bloodlines; such superior lineage should be passed on widely… You might become the ancestor of the Human Clan's 'True Martial Saint Body' dynasty.'

'What True Martial Saint Body?'

Xun Heihu was full of question marks. He was just hesitant toward acquaintances, but how could this scheming old man already name the physique of his sons and grandsons?

'Achieving Great Success in twelve extraordinary forms, passing on all dominant bloodlines, that's the True Martial Saint Body of my lineage, far superior to any top-grade martial bones.'

Fang Xing said proudly; 'Given the situation now, you either kill this woman, or take her away… Once you take her with you, being together all the time, developing feelings isn't too unusual, right?'

'I always feel you might harm me… Previously you said I couldn't handle it.' Xun Heihu remarked, 'I suspect you just want to see me in trouble, don't you?'

After spending years together, he understood this elder's character was quite malicious!

'Killing a mere Innate protector from the Five Beasts Sect isn't a major issue. As long as I reveal my third-grade 'Bengyue Realm' Grandmaster identity, could the Five Beasts Sect persist relentlessly?'

Xun Heihu let out a cold laugh: 'This resolves the problem at its core, unlike the messy approach you suggested.'

'Hehe… But that hands the initiative to others, you decide.' Fang Xing said this and promptly disconnected.

Jiang Yu Yan, meanwhile, was filled with trepidation, watching Xun Heihu's face endlessly change as if putting on a face-changing performance.

"Alright… let's do as you said then."

After a long time, Xun Heihu exhaled deeply and said to Jiang Yu Yan.

Jiang Yu Yan suddenly felt relief, realizing her life was spared.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred!

Xun Heihu suddenly pressed his forehead, feeling a sharp pain!

He involuntarily looked towards the north, his expression becoming extremely serious: 'Elder… I'm following your instructions, yet you're still playing me? I sense something terrifying has emerged in the north… faintly feeling it's my nemesis.'

'Not me, but indeed a troublesome thing has surfaced.'

Within the True Martial Talisman, Fang Xing sighed.

Although Panwu was a vegetative state, subconscious activity was still lively.

Unable to self-agitate things, one remains earnestly waiting.

No reason to initiate moves independently while prohibiting others from overturning the board.

He too could sense Panwu had infused some 'pollution' in the north.

Indeed!

Neither resuscitation nor consciousness awakening, merely some pollution.

Even so, it might bring significant changes to this world!
