This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 630 - 124: The Dazzling Dragon

Chapter 630 -124: The Dazzling Dragon

The gaze of others and their cheers are a form of power.

You Ming had always believed this to be true.

As a child, he watched his father win fight after fight on the arena, surrounded by people cheering for his father, listening to the praises and envy from the crowd.

He began to long for a day when he too would be celebrated, and indeed, he eventually got his wish.

Had it not been for that incident, he would have thoroughly enjoyed such a life.

Years had passed, and he had lost his former appearance and name, now using an unknown codename.

Centered around the Red Sleeve Tavern, there were nearly ten thousand people on the surrounding streets.

The moment You Ming’s voice echoed, all eyes turned to look his way.

Once again standing under the sunlight, the center of everyone’s attention.

You Ming still felt a heartfelt pleasure and anticipation.

“Who are you, sir?”

Shen Tuyue frowned as he looked at You Ming standing on the rooftop.

Hearing this question, You Ming’s expression flickered momentarily.

Then he sighed, “It’s not important anymore.”

In the next second, darkness enveloped the entire Red Sleeve Tavern!

Though it was a scorchingly hot day, those inside the tavern could see no light and felt no warmth.

There was only silence and darkness.

Huang Jin’s expression changed.

In that instant, he lost all sense of his surroundings, including Shen Tuyue, who was right beside him—he couldn’t feel anything!

In the darkness, a cold murderous intent emerged, targeting him.

At this moment, he was utterly isolated.

“Is it someone from the New Heaven Association? They actually dare send someone to kill me?!”

Huang Jin had quickly come to his senses and found it unbelievable.

But this did not stop him from responding.

A bright sword light tore through the darkness, and fiery flames blazed fiercely.

The fire illuminated the darkness, and the high temperature dispersed the cold.

A Phoenix bathed in fire soared through the darkness!

Red Dust Pavilion’s secret technique, “Bright Phoenix Sword Scripture”

Tao Power—[Flame Flying Phoenix]!

The enemy’s “Divine Intent” had affected the entire Red Sleeve Tavern, a feat of Tao Power, so Huang Jin responded with Tao Power as well.

He did not activate all five implants to release his Core Level Extraordinary Ability, and his apparent Combat Power was only Seventh Tier.

But with his extraordinary swordsmanship, he had reached the Tao Foundation Stage Peak and was nominated two years ago for inclusion on the Fengyun Leaderboard by “Under Heaven.”

Shen Tuyue had previously said that his swordsmanship had improved, and indeed it had, otherwise, he wouldn’t have challenged Li Fei.

Perhaps he was slightly inferior in overall combat power, but Huang Jin felt confident against any Tao Foundation Stage Martial Artist under Heaven!

However, this opponent was beyond his expectations.

In the darkness, something vague and indistinct encircled him, extinguishing the bright flames and slowing the soaring Phoenix, as if it had plunged into a marsh named “Netherworld.”

The Phoenix bathed in fire dissolved into the darkness in less than a second!

“How can this be…”

Huang Jin was utterly astounded.

Only an absolute superiority in Tao Power could result in this!

But how could a Tao Foundation Stage Martial Artist overpower him in Tao Power?

Unless…

A wave of intense fear surged within him, and it was only then that Huang Jin suddenly realized:

He had been too reckless. Knowing well the unfathomable strength of the New Heaven Association, why had he dared to turn against them so abruptly?

If they dared to assassinate the Emperor, what was his place as a true disciple of the Red Dust Pavilion?

“Swords have two edges…”

The words echoed again in his mind.

Fear, panic, regret, and various negative emotions filled his heart, the surrounding darkness was about to completely engulf him!

Suddenly, another blaze of light ignited in the darkness.

This light was even more dazzling than before!

Then a Phoenix bathed in fire tore through the darkness, scattering flames around.

Fiery, radiant, soaring through the sky!

Phoenixes fly south, spiritual flames like rain.

Tao Power—[Flame Flying Phoenix]!

Watching the soaring Phoenix above and the fiery rain scattering around, Huang Jin momentarily forgot his fear, immersed in the stunning beauty.

He knew Shen Tuyue had made a move.

As a direct disciple of the Pavilion Master like him, Shen Tuyue also practiced the “Bright Phoenix Sword Scripture,” and it was Huang Jin who had initially guided her in martial arts.

But the girl who once learned swordsmanship behind him had now surpassed him.

The same [Flame Flying Phoenix], when executed by Shen Tuyue, truly exemplified the nobility of the Phoenix, like the monarch of flames!

The darkness was finally torn apart completely, and Huang Jin and Shen Tuyue saw the light once again.

But for the crowd watching nearby, they only saw You Ming casually waving his sleeve downward, a powerful force enveloping the entire Red Sleeve Tavern.

Then Huang Jin and Shen Tuyue drew their swords one after the other, their sword lights soaring into the sky, eliciting waves of exclamations.

“Sir, are you declaring yourself an enemy of the Red Dust Pavilion?!”

Shen Tuyue’s expression became solemn as she loudly inquired.

The Zhi Ge Department Martial Artists maintaining order around them were somewhat puzzled; with Shen Tuyue’s ranking second on the Fengyun Leaderboard and with Huang Jin’s support, did they really need to be so on guard even if they truly encountered an assassin?

You Ming smiled and waved his sleeve again:

“What if I am?”

The darkness that had just been dispelled surged once again from all directions like a tidal wave!

Even two successive uses of [Flame Flying Phoenix] by Huang Jin and Shen Tuyue couldn’t completely shatter You Ming’s first use of Tao Power. Now deploying his second Tao Power move, linking it smoothly with the first to activate the “echoes” of the first move, made it even stronger like “pouring oil on fire”!

To be able to connect two Tao Power moves so fluidly had already surpassed the “entry” level.

“Ruyi Realm?”

Shen Tuyue finally confirmed her suspicion while drawing her sword and loudly commanded:

“Sound the alarm—”

The next second, her voice was annihilated by the darkness.

The crowd stirred.

Ordinary people could only see the dark power You Ming unleashed below, while those Martial Artists closest could feel the immense pressure of the Tao Power, a large shadow looming in their minds, dimming the scene before their eyes.

Hearing Shen Tuyue’s words, the order-maintaining Martial Artists finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

Someone immediately took out a signal gun from his waist and aimed it at the sky.

But before he could pull the trigger, his eyes suddenly widened, and he fell backward.

He was completely breathless!

A martial artist nearby saw this and immediately rushed over to pick up the signal gun from the ground.

But before he could get up, he also collapsed to the ground and stopped breathing!

At this, the surrounding martial artists were frightened and dared not pick up the signal gun.

“Let’s go together!”

The leading martial artist from the Tao Foundation Stage shouted loudly.

Then he suddenly grunted, his eyes widened in horror.

Puff—

This Tao Foundation Stage martial artist spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his breath rapidly weakened.

He fell down in pain and soon stopped breathing.

A Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse had died just like that!

This scene made all the martial artists from the Zhi Ge Department look terrified.

No force was seen, no figures, no perception of any extraordinary ability or magic fluctuations, and yet a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse had just died?

“It’s Divine Skills!”

Someone shouted in panic.

Could this sudden attacker actually be a Martial Arts Master?

“Run—”

The group of martial artists scattered, completely losing the courage to resist.

Facing a Martial Arts Master, except for those at the Peak of Tao Foundation Stage, almost no one else qualified to cross swords with him; they could only exhaust his force and Divine Power with their lives.

But again as the saying goes:

How much salary do you earn in a month? What life are you risking?

On the rooftop, You Ming looked down at the scattering martial artists, his smile unchanged.

Without any visible action, one by one, the martial artists unexpectedly fell and died.

This method of killing indeed went beyond the realm of martial arts.

This was Divine Skills!

Daring to come directly for the kill, stating he wanted to kill her brother in front of someone who’s the second on the Fengyun Leaderboard, You Ming surely had his confidence.

A Martial Arts Master was a giant wherever he went!

The crowd near the Red Dust Pavilion started to stir, continuously sounding out exclamations and screams.

But the people at the back didn’t know what had happened at the front; they only saw You Ming making his move at the very top.

“Has it started?”

“Is that person Li Fei?”

“Why can’t I see Shen Tuyue?”

“…”

Most people still maintained the attitude of watching a martial arts contest.

Then they saw a brilliant red.

A blazing sword light rose from the ground and stabbed toward You Ming on the rooftop.

The sword light bloomed in the air, transforming into bright yellow feathers, which sketched out a small heavenly realm, locking You Ming within it.

Even from afar, even commoners without any martial arts training could feel an utmost noble aura from these fluttering feathers.

A heavenly spirit, all birds paying homage.

Tao Power—Feather Facing Phoenix!

In an instant, the gazes of tens of thousands were captured by the soaring silhouette and the magnificent move.

Knowing that her opponent was a Martial Arts Master, Shen Tuyue still unsheathed her sword without hesitation!

Zhu Fenghua, ranked first on the Fengyun Leaderboard, could exchange a hundred moves without defeat against a Martial Arts Master. Although she was not as skilled as him, she still had the confidence for a fight.

This was Gansheng Province. As long as she could hold off for a moment, she could wait for Chi Chengyu and the Imperial Camp Army to arrive!

Huang Jin was only a moment slower than Shen Tuyue, also leaping up as his sword thrust forward.

Shen Tuyue gave him limitless courage, allowing him to cast aside his fear.

“With my junior sister and me together, we can surely…”

Roar—

A deep dragon chant interrupted Huang Jin’s thoughts.

A dark Jiao dragon appeared out of nowhere, circling around You Ming, making him resemble a monarch of a dark world!

The Jiao dragon only had to gently swing its body to break through the feather-made small heavenly realm, shattering Shen Tuyue’s Feather Facing Phoenix.

How could a shallow pond trap a Jiao dragon?

Immediately afterward, the Jiao dragon lunged at Shen Tuyue, teeth and claws bared.

“Junior sister!”

Huang Jin’s eyes almost burst, disregarding everything as his sword met the Jiao dragon.

The phoenix bathed in fire appeared again, but in the next second, the Jiao dragon tore through its body!

The residual wave of force formed a huge mirror, expanding outward.

The sixth floor’s outer wall of Red Sleeve Pavilion cracked, visibly shaking for a moment as strong winds swept across half the city!

The two high jumpers fell down.

Exclamations came from all directions.

People stared unblinkingly at the unconquerable black Jiao dragon, displaying looks of awe.

They came today to watch Shen Tuyue and Li Fei’s martial contest, yet ended up seeing Shen Tuyue and another person teaming up against an enemy and being struck down in a single move!

Who was this person? Why was he so strong?

You Ming stood on the rooftop, listening to the sounds around him, feeling the gaze of thousands converging on him, and slightly closed his eyes.

This was the feeling!

He could distinctly feel the power gathering towards him from the gaze and exclamations.

In the obscure heaven and earth, I shall lead!

You Ming looked down at Shen Tuyue and Huang Jin, not in a rush to deliver the final blow.

Whether it was Chi Chengyu or the Imperial Camp Army, they would need some time to arrive.

That was enough for him to complete today’s ‘performance’.

He first pointed at Huang Jin:

“You don’t even qualify to make me draw my sword.”

Then he pointed at Shen Tuyue:

“You still can.”
