Chapter 44 The Young Master Descends the Mountain
"The three swords combined!"
The tips of the three swords, Changhong, Bingpo, and Ziyun, faced each other. As the three of them activated their inner strength together, a beam of light shot into the sky, forming an illusory scene in the air.
"This is truly magical, like a holographic projection." Looking at the scene in the air, Fang Xiu complained. He couldn't understand how this thing could do it. The three swords could combine and automatically project the location of the next sword. It was too magical.
"The Six Wonders Pavilion!"
The holographic projection in the air showed the location of the new Seven Swords, which was none other than the Six Wonders Pavilion of Huangshi Village.
The sight in the air was not only visible to Fang Xiu and Hong Mao, but also to the members of the Demonic Sect at the inn.
"Over there! Brothers, follow me!"
Upon seeing the scene in the distance, Niu Xuanfeng gave an order and led his men in a grand procession toward the direction of the distant beam of light.
In this situation, even if Jump Jump, the undercover agent, wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't find an opportunity.
Guided by the combined beam of the three swords, Niu Xuanfeng led his demonic sect followers straight to the beam.
A new round of battle is about to unfold at Pagoda Mountain, but Black Tiger has no intention of paying attention to it at all. Recently, Black Tiger's attention has been focused on Bewitching Platform.
Because Black Tiger's son, Black Little Tiger, who has been in seclusion at the Bewitching Platform for ten years, is finally about to emerge!
"Ten years! Little Tiger, it's time for you to emerge from seclusion today! Hahahaha!!"
On the Bewitching Platform, Black Tiger laughed loudly. As he laughed, a stone pillar in the distance was suddenly split open, and rocks tumbled down. Black Tiger, who had just finished his seclusion and was at the peak of his aura, strode across the wooden plank bridge connecting the two sides. The energy flowed under his feet, making the thick iron chains rattle.
"father!!"
"Good job, Little Tiger! Well done!" Looking at his son, who had grown much taller and was almost as tall as him, Black Tiger felt gratified and couldn't help but reach out and pat his son's shoulder.
Although Black Tiger is a ruthless demon, he truly loves his son Black Tiger and is even willing to give up his original plans for him, and fight to the death with the Seven Swords to avenge Black Tiger.
The same applies to Hei Xiaohu. No matter what kind of person Hei Xinhu is in the eyes of the outside world, to him, he is a kind father. He is willing to overcome all obstacles and clear all hindrances for his father's great cause!
Black Tiger was in a good mood when his beloved son had mastered martial arts. This good mood lasted until he returned to the sect and received a message from Jump Jump and Bull Whirlwind via eagle.
"Hmph! That good-for-nothing Zhu Wujie!"
After reading the letter, Black Tiger slammed it heavily on the table and let out a cold snort. The letter detailed the death of Pig Wujie, the fourth hall master, and the fact that they had lost the Seven Swords Shadows.
The death of Zhu Wujie was of no consequence to Hei Xinhu. Although Zhu Wujie was not weak, the Demonic Cult was large and powerful, and had almost unified the martial arts world. They did not need another good fighter.
What truly concerned Black Tiger was what Zhu Wujie's death signified. Zhu Wujie died at the Golden Whip Creek Inn, but there was no news from Ma Sanniang, whom he had sent to infiltrate the Seven Swords. It was very likely that Ma Sanniang's infiltration had failed.
Thinking of this, Black-Hearted Tiger couldn't help but let out another cold snort. Ma San Niang was also a piece of trash! All those years of researching the Purple Cloud Sword Master had been wasted, and she had actually failed!
Even though it's still uncertain, Black-Hearted Tiger doesn't mind considering the problem from the perspective of Ma San Niang's failure.
Whether Ma San Niang, this subordinate, lives or dies is not important to the ruthless and ungrateful leader, Hei Xin Hu; what matters is whether she successfully infiltrated the Seven Swords.
Black Tiger desires the blood of the Qilin for two reasons: firstly, to enhance his power and achieve his goal of unifying the martial arts world; and secondly, to cure his madness.
When he's not having an attack, he's fine, but once he does, he becomes like a madman, losing all sense of self and ability to recognize his family. To avoid this madness, he drinks fresh blood every day, but this is merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Drinking ordinary blood is like drinking poison to quench thirst; there will always be a relapse. Therefore, he is determined to obtain the blood of the Qilin!
But to obtain the blood of the Qilin, one must first find the Qilin, and finding the Qilin requires the Seven Swords to be combined. Once the Seven Swords are combined...
Recalling his defeat at the hands of the previous generation of Seven Swordsmen led by White Cat, Black Tiger felt a phantom pain emanating from the wounds on his body.
This is a vicious cycle: to find the Qilin, the seven swords must be combined, but combining the seven swords may lead to defeat, just like last time.
This is also why Black-Hearted Tiger sent Ma San Niang as an undercover agent to plant a seed in the Seven Swords, so that it would strike at a crucial moment.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Black Tiger tapped his fingers lightly on the table, contemplating his next strategy. The blood of the Qilin was key, and for that, what did it matter if he took some risks to combine the seven swords?
In fact, given Black Tiger's strength, if he were willing to personally attack Rainbow Cat and the others, he wouldn't have had to wait for the Seven Swords to unite. Everything was for the sake of the Qilin Blood. Therefore, Black Tiger could only send his subordinates to attack Rainbow Cat and the others, using a sense of urgency to push them to unite as soon as possible, keeping them busy and exhausted.
"Father!" Black Tiger volunteered after reading the letter while Black Tiger was still thinking.
"Why don't you let me go and hunt down those seven swords? I guarantee I'll bring back all of them, Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit!"
Having just finished his seclusion, Hei Xiaohu is eager to prove his strength, and now is the perfect opportunity!
"This..." After a brief hesitation, Black Tiger nodded, "Alright! It's you then, Little Tiger. Remember to bring the Five Elements Executors and the others, and..."
Black-Hearted Tiger revealed the existence of Ma San Niang and his own plans to Black Little Tiger without reservation, telling him to surround her but not kill her.
"Father! This plan?!" Upon hearing Black Tiger's plan, Black Tiger was incredulous, his resistance written all over his face. In his view, allowing the Seven Swords to combine was like raising a tiger to cause trouble.
"Little Tiger!" Seeing Little Tiger's resistance, Black Heart Tiger put his hands behind his back and raised his voice, "What your father has decided will not be changed!"
"Alright." Seeing that his father was determined and could not be persuaded, Hei Xiaohu's eyes darted around and he stopped insisting. Only he knew what he was really thinking.
Besides the few hall masters on the surface, the Demonic Sect also has many hidden experts, such as the Five Elements Masters, who are five extraordinary experts who have mastered the five elements' unique arts. In addition, there are Mad Saber and Furious Sword, the Thirteen Protectors, and so on.
Hei Xiaohu himself is an extremely powerful expert. After ten years of seclusion, he has mastered the Heavenly Demon Technique and can withstand the combined attack of four swords on his own, which shows how strong he is.
"Father! Your son is setting off now!"
After bidding farewell to Black Tiger, Black Tiger led his tiger clan guards and galloped straight to Golden Whip Creek Inn. After ten years of seclusion, he was eager to let the world know his name!
Today, the young master of the Demonic Sect descends the mountain!
