Holy Fist!-Chapter 1119 - 474: Professional Enhancement, Root Authority!
"I am going to begin searching for the Forbidden Secret Martial."
"Or perhaps, take the initiative against the Evil Ghost Court. If I manage to kill one of the Grandmasters among them, not only will it bring a massive amount of Experience to my bounty hunting mission, but I can also sacrifice the Forbidden Secret Martial he controls to enhance my reverse causality reinforcement. During the Martial Arts Competition, Light Eagle Philin hadn’t died yet and retreated with the main force. He holds a Forbidden Secret Martial. By killing him, I can also gain something..."
Bai Xiao pondered while slowly sitting cross-legged.
The Enlightenment Tree gently swayed, and a mysterious aura of enlightenment enveloped the surroundings.
...
An hour ago.
Overseas, on a certain island, inside a massive underground lair.
A mysterious underground lake.
The surging seawater, rising and falling, spread rapidly in all directions, only to be suddenly drawn back, like breathing.
At the center.
A deep blue shadow, blurred and terrifying in aura, was enveloped by a torrential flow of Hongze water. The surrounding tidal waves were all triggered by its intent, causing environmental changes. Initially, the shadow only had an upper body, while the lower body was made of water. But now, its legs slowly extended, gradually restoring to its full form.
"Wheezing..."
The healing process continued.
Suddenly, a figure quickly appeared in a passageway outside the lake.
"Lord Hongze, there has been an anomaly with Lord You Tian just now!"
At the center of the lake.
Hongze’s figure slowly raised a hand, and immediately a roulette embedded with a statue of the Black Heaven God flew over, hovering silently in mid-air.
He lifted his right hand, pressing it onto the ferocious head position.
The power rapidly transmitted, communicating with the residual consciousness of You Tian.
"Is someone absorbing your spiritual essence?!"
"Could it be that your Spirit Mask has been unsealed by someone?"
Hongze’s expression slightly changed, immediately realizing the seriousness of the issue.
Beside the lake, the high-ranking members of the Evil Ghost Court waiting quietly immediately spoke up, "Lord You Tian’s Spirit Mask is likely in the hands of Bai Xiao at the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall in the Eastern Secret Martial World. Recently, this person has broken through to the Grandmaster Realm. News just came that he single-handedly defeated the Crane Master..."
Hongze was silent for a moment, reflecting to himself.
"Could it really be this Bai Xiao, after breaking through to Grandmaster, has developed some unique method, even capable of breaking through You Tian’s Forbidden Power?"
"I really want to go and take a look myself..."
"But, the healing process is at a critical juncture and cannot be easily interrupted."
"Only other Grandmasters can go."
Ultimately, Hongze decided that Ming Zong was most suitable. Ming Zong had been a Grandmaster for hundreds of years, having long developed his Forbidden Secret Martial to its complete form.
He was even just a step away from the third stage of Grandmaster.
Initially, Ming Zong wasn’t needed, Yan Sect and Prison Sect would suffice. But with Prison Sect being besieged, only a Forbidden Remnant remains, almost no different from being dead. Just relying on Yan Sect alone might not be enough.
Bai Xiao’s defeat of the Crane Master makes his strength undeniable.
After considering, Hongze was about to issue the order.
Suddenly, at the far end of the road, a familiar figure of an elderly man in black swiftly flew over, appearing in front of Hongze in an instant.
"You’re just in time."
"I need you to go to the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall in the Eastern Tianxia Federation, and retrieve the Spirit Mask from Bai Xiao. Stay hidden, look for an opportunity. If you can kill him, all the better; if not, just bring back the Spirit Mask."
Hongze’s voice rumbled, speaking slowly.
"Yes."
The black-clothed elder, Ming Qianke, accepted the task.
Then, he lifted his head to look at Hongze, quickly speaking.
"Lord Hongze, I have good news."
"In this world, the first Shura was finally born just now!"
The Rashamon Level of Killing Ghost corresponds to the sect leader of the Secret Martial Artist.
And the Shura Level corresponds exactly to the Grandmaster Realm!
This news not only means that the Evil Ghost Court has gained another Grandmaster Level strength, but also conveys a very critical piece of information to everyone.
The chief of the Evil Ghost Court, the root ’Heavenly Ghost,’ once again approached this world. Its power influence has already enabled the Killing Ghost to reach the Shura Level.
In this situation, the Evil Ghost Court’s summoning ritual will continue to accelerate the chief’s arrival and might even surpass the Mechanical Master.
"Hahaha, excellent!"
"It was worth my fall from the realm, to return from the void!"
