Chapter 561: The last year (3)
Beiyuan is a grassland kingdom. Horses runs around in the prairie and they seem to have a tribal like organization there.
People said that the Central Zhou and the Southern Yong martials artist there is as numerous as the star on the night skies and their martial arts is incredible.
But Beiyuan does not lack their own powerful martial artist. They could fight in horseback and one of the martial artist that Azief had met is a master in the arts of fighting with a bow and arrow.
When he tries to seek the Majusi Cult, Azief had to face many resistances from the many martial artists of Beiyuan. In Beiyuan, there is only one school and sect and that is the Majusi Cult.
He fought the Three Great Tribes of the grasslands and subdue them with his sword. Xi Feng his disciple had even the chance to fight with Tukhla and Ulhak the Envoys of the Majusi Cult.
Tukhla was the Right Envoy and Ulhak was the Left Envoy and they fought with is disciple in battle that enables Xi Feng to deepen his comprehension of the sword.
He on the other hand fought the Five Fire Protectors of the Majusi Cult, defeating all of them with five identical sword moves.
He then broke into the Majusi Cult Underground Heavenly Fire Palace.
To his surprise, he did not find the Holy lady of the Majusi Cult. Instead what he found is a parchment
Written in that parchment was the words of the Holy Lady of the Majusi
‘You are not our Fated Person. The one beside you is’ The words written on the parchment was very short but Azief understand it.
When he saw those words, he laughs like he never before. The one beside him at that time was Xi Feng.
At that time, Azief knows that this place is not a place for his story. This place is a place for his disciple story.
When he was inside the Underground Heavenly Fire Palace of the Majusi Cult he also found the depository of books of the Majusi Cult. There are only a few books left but oddly enough, the books that were left inside that depository is all books about the Monkey Demon and the Enlightened Monk.
Azief then knows that the Holy Lady might also knows his true origins and that the plan that have been started by his arrivals has long been foretold.
He examines and read the books. After thinking for a while he then believes that he could see the reason why that person wanted him here.
He connects the dots and he believes he had found one part of the puzzle.
The person who planned all of this were very smart and very powerful with many means. This is manipulating Karma. This is manipulating destiny
This is manipulating Fate.
He remembers the hole on that palm, and the locations he falls into, is all very convenient for him. But it also forms Karma between him and whoever planned all this.
He also reads the story of how before the Demon Monkey left for his ascension, he extended his Golden Heavenly Staff piercing up into the skies.
That hole might be formed when that happens which means the Monkey Demon had ben waiting for him since ages ago,
He believes the one that planned all of this is either the Monkey Demon or the Enlightened Monk.
He kept this in his mind as he wonders how would the Demon Monkey would cut the karmic ties between them at that time.
Thus, he went out from the grassland. He spares the Envoys of the Majusi Cult and its Five Fire Protector and did not kill those who fought him.
instead he just hurts them and leave the Underground Heavenly Fire Palace intact. He did not visit Dong Xia. Instead he went down to Zhou Empire.
It was already delayed at that time.
The Zhou Empire had many grandmaster and as such Azief was excited to test his skill against grandmaster and see their skills so that he could add more content into his already powerful manuals of martial arts that he was about to create
But he also knows that the journey down would not be easy for his disciple and the Three Devils of Han.
After all, many rumors named him as the one that kills the two Emperor with one sword strike. And he did not deny it.
The new Emperor would surely retaliate else how could they maintain imperial dignity.
And like he suspected, the moment he set on the Zhou Empire, the martial artist of the imperial family surges out from the forest near the border to ambush him.
This time he did not kill them himself.
He lets Xi Feng protected him as he analyzes those martial artist technique, increasing his comprehension of martial arts and the methods of internal energy
The previous Zhou Emperor was killed by Azief sword light and it is isn’t unreasonable that they have to send some people to at least try to kill him.
And their plans were very ingenious. They pretended to be some kind of travelling merchant who were being robbed.
They did not reveal their intention until after Azief eats the poisoned food. Unfortunately, what they didn’t know is that Azief body is immune to any kind of mortal poisons.
As such, their plans from the very beginning was destined to be doomed. At Zhou, the forces of the imperial family were displayed.
The new Emperor Ji Chang were determined to avenge his father, Emperor Wen of Zhou and he send around five thousand soldier.
Those five thousand soldiers all make their graves inside that forest.
Then the wheelchair keeps on moving forward, coming out from that forest. The sword still on his lap, stainless and his black robe did not seem to be stained even by one droplet of blood.
Then it kept moving.
Azief at the time did not have enmity with the new Emperor. He did not care whether the world of martial arts being controlled by the imperial dynasties or the martial arts world.
What is important to him is the matter of his disciple.
Thus, he sends that sword strike that pierces through the barrier of Time and Space, to kill two Emperors, winning him eternal fame
That sword strike is still being discussed by many martial artists.
They could not believe that such a sword strike could exist in the world. Azief himself has heard the title that the people have given him.
The Sword God is the most famous. But there is another that is just as famous as that.
The Number One Swordsman in the World!
No one believes that any other grandmaster level martial artist could execute such sword strike that went beyond normal imagination.
Even when the founder of the Sword Residence beheads the Zhou Emperor, he did not have such technique. If not, why would he had to flee?
But the Sword God, when he executes that two killing sword light, he was at the top of the Five Element Mountains fighting the forces of the two imperial dynasties.
When he executes that sword strike, the martial artist there could see that of the infinite sword lights and sword will infused in that sword strike, two sword light diverged from the straight strike and disappeared.
Many believe that two sword light is the sword light that kills the two Emperor. Which means the Sword God had killed a person thousands of miles away.
After killing those two Emperor he did not do anything else. He was minding his own business, searching for his path.
But as the harassment from the Zhou imperial government began delaying his journey, Azief had decided to change direction.
The wheelchair moves toward the imperial city.
The news immediately made the round as it was spread by Curtain Rollers organization, a gathering and spreading information organization in the martial arts world
The Sword God was coming to the imperial city and the martial arts world were alarmed. What is his intention? Did the Emperor of Zhou push the Sword God too much?
Would another beheading of dragon happen?
If the Sword God wanted to kill the new Emperor, then what happens next? No one doubted that the Sword God could kill the new Emperor. However, should the Sword God kill the Emperor?
Grandmaster level martial practitioner usually train in seclusion, appearing only when there is a large matters and they rarely interfere in the matters of the mundane world.
That is the conduct of the many grandmasters.
They seem ethereal and otherworldly.
They think about their decision since their decision could affect many things in the world Even Demonic Monarch Xie had to think a lot from doing certain things if he did not want to make the whole world his enemies.
There is never before a grandmaster of martial arts like the Sword God.
With the sword in his hand, even if the whole world is against him, why should he be fearful?
The word that he spoke on top of the Five Element Mountain has long been circulated all over the martial arts world.
The storytellers had even made a chapter of that story. They title the event “The Sword God Teaching the Sword Demon”
From the story, the Sword God was on wheelchair and said to his disciple
‘Since you have been working hard, let me show you how to use a sword’ His gaze was described as sharp as a sword and his demeanor was described as being one with the sword.
The Sword God then caress the sword on his lap as his wheelchair moves pass many famous martial artists in the world of martial arts.
All of them was silent and not daring doing anything or spoke anything to gain the attention of the Sword God.
The Sword God then ask his disciple
‘Out of these many people, who do you think are spies who become the dog of the imperial dynasties and who of them are innocent?’
The Sword Demon shakes his head and the Sword God reply with
‘Then why not cut them all apart?’ At that time, those who were there all felt like their heart feel down and everyone unconsciously sweats and hold their weapons tighter.
The Sword Demon then said
‘Master, if you do that you would become the enemy of the world’ The Sword God laughed and then said domineeringly
‘What is the problem then? Then cut the world too!’ And the Sword God laughed.
The Sword god then proceeds to teach the Sword Demon how to kill and carved a name for himself in history.
From that story alone, one could see that the Sword God did not fear becoming enemies with the whole world.
Since no one could withstand the sword in his hand, he had nothing to fear.
But, the world could not handle such upheaval again if the Emperor were killed. Chaos would reign and the newly stabilized Empire would once again be chaotic.
