Chapter 185, "Laughing at the World," is now complete.
"Ah, Dongfang Bubai!"
When Ren Woxing saw that Dongfang Bubai was only using a few embroidery needles and hadn't even used his full strength to deal with him, he was furious and rushed towards him with all his might.
“Master Ren, you’re getting old. Look at Young Hero Yang, and then look at yourself.”
Dongfang Bubai thought Ren Woxing's actions were indeed quite baffling, and had no intention of wasting any more words with him.
Dongfang Bubai unleashed his full power, sending embroidery needles at Ren Woxing, locking all of his acupoints. With a sudden tug, Ren Woxing coughed up blood, and was likely beyond saving.
"Indeed, the Sunflower Manual has been used by the Eastern Cult Master to an extraordinary degree."
Seeing that Ren Woxing only had a few minutes left to breathe, Yang Ke decided to show him what a grandmaster was all about.
"It's good that I can meet Young Master Yang's approval. I've heard that Young Master Yang's swordsmanship is amazing, but I don't know how high it is."
Although Dongfang Bubai spoke casually, he had actually already retracted all his embroidery needles into front of him, preparing to fight with all his might.
"We will meet the Eastern Cult Leader soon."
As soon as Yang Ke finished speaking, Dongfang Bubai immediately shot out several embroidery needles at an extremely fast speed.
"Ding ding."
Having mastered the essence of the Dugu Nine Swords, Yang Ke was quite adept at dealing with such hidden weapons.
"It seems that the Eastern Cult Leader's embroidery needle technique is not very effective."
Yang Ke dared not be negligent, but he was quick to speak his mind.
He kept closing the distance between them, but it was difficult to break through at this point, so he twirled his sword to deflect Dongfang Bubai's attack, and then the Five Divine Swords of Hengshan attacked Dongfang Bubai directly.
The embroidery needle might not be able to kill him instantly, but I can definitely kill Dongfang Bubai instantly. This move is the same as the one Linghu Chong used when he encountered Dongfang Bubai: offense as defense.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"
Dongfang Bubai could only dodge with his movements, but he was still grazed on the arm by the previous attack.
After all, the Five Divine Swords of Hengshan was a move that required all their strength. Feng Qingyang was almost instantly killed by it, and it was already quite good that Dongfang Bubai was able to dodge it.
"The Five Divine Swords of Hengshan!"
After Yang Ke finished speaking, he unleashed the Dugu Nine Swords and attacked again.
With his current strength, even Dongfang Bubai would be no match for him, but he certainly wouldn't risk it if he could avoid getting injured.
The two quickly exchanged dozens of blows. Dongfang Bubai had already been stabbed four times by Yang Ke, bleeding profusely. Crucially, Yang Ke had even smashed Dongfang Bubai's embroidery needles.
His divine sword could cut through iron like mud. Even though Dongfang Bubai specially sought out fine iron to make his weapon because it was an embroidery needle, it still couldn't withstand so many clashes.
As Yang Ke unleashed the Five Divine Swords of Hengshan once more, Dongfang Bubai, the undisputed master of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer, was also fatally wounded by Yang Ke's sword.
"It's time to wrap this up."
Yang Ke muttered a phrase to himself, and then began to sweep through the members of the Demonic Sect.
The Demonic Sect led by Dongfang Bubai didn't actually have many allies, especially since Yang Lianting brought about his own demise.
Yang Ke wiped out the evil cult in one night, and then sent someone to inform Ren Yingying.
She is Ren Woxing's daughter, and Xiang Wentian also knows about Yang Ke's situation, so assisting Ren Yingying shouldn't be a problem.
The existence of the demonic cult is necessary to demonstrate the righteousness of the righteous path; otherwise, without the demonic cult, it would be difficult to find excuses to deal with those we dislike.
As for the mission, all he's missing now is defeating all the masters.
This group of experts naturally included Chongxu from Wudang and Fangzheng from Shaolin. So after Yang Ke helped Ren Yingying resolve the issues with the Demonic Sect, he began to challenge them.
Chongxu's strength was at the late stage of the Grandmaster level, and even Linghu Chong did not win easily. Unfortunately, he lacked killing intent and was easily defeated by Yang Ke.
On Fang Zheng's side, Yang Ke countered with his internal strength, which convinced Fang Zheng completely.
After all, the Zixia Divine Skill is no joke; its domineering internal force attack attribute, coupled with Yang Ke's internal force enhancement from the Yi Jin Jing, meant that even though Fang Zheng had practiced the Yi Jin Jing for many years, he was still no match for Yang Ke.
Finally, there was still a system message indicating that the attack on Lin Pingzhi wasn't complete, so Yang Ke had to be ruthless and led him to destroy the Qingcheng Sect. And then...
"Your plan is brilliant. You were the man in black back then, weren't you?"
After receiving numerous hints from Yang Ke, Yu Canghai finally understood.
Yes, by this time Lin Pingzhi had already pierced his abdomen, and he was not far from death.
"why?"
Lin Pingzhi had always thought that Yang Ke was only helping him because he needed a subordinate, but he never expected that Yang Ke was also involved in the massacre of the Lin family.
"The Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is a good thing. Without it, I think it would be quite troublesome to deal with Yue Buqun."
"Besides, this whole thing started because you couldn't keep the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual. I just pushed things along."
"Alright, you know the answer now, can you die in peace?"
After Yang Ke finished speaking, he swung his sword and killed Lin Pingzhi, so that he would at least not have to live in pain.
"Congratulations, host, on completing the main quest: Save Yue Lingshan, Ren Yingying, Ning Zhongze, Yilin and other female protagonists and supporting characters, and change their fate. Reward: 20 attribute points."
"Congratulations, host, on completing the villain mission one: strike down the male protagonists and supporting characters such as Yue Buqun, Linghu Chong, and Lin Pingzhi. The reward is that you have mastered the integration of martial arts."
"Congratulations, host, on completing the second villain mission: There is no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts. Please defeat all the masters in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer within ten years and become a legend in the martial arts world. The reward is a seed of sword intent."
The system quickly issued the reward for completing the task.
Host: Yang Ke.
In terms of physical attributes: Constitution 117, Strength 114, Agility 109, which has exceeded human limits.
Strength: Peak Grandmaster; Martial Arts: Hengshan Five Divine Swords, Dugu Nine Swords, Zixia Divine Skill, Yi Jin Jing.
Secondary attributes: Maxed-out martial arts talent, immune to all poisons, and a seed of sword intent.
Items: Intermediate-level blessed land-grade spatial ring, martial arts-grade Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic cultivation method, divine-grade disguise mask, three loyal Gu gu, and Sun and Moon Divine Sword.
Not bad. Yang Ke's current strength is already at the ceiling of this world. He also has a sword intent seed that transcends this world, but unfortunately he hasn't been able to comprehend it yet.
With this in mind, Yang Ke naturally prepared to pack up and embark on a new journey into the world of martial arts.
There are plenty of beautiful women in the next world, and they're even prettier than those in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
As for what world it is, it's naturally the martial arts world of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
In fact, as long as it's not some fantastical world, Yang Ke isn't worried. After all, the peak of the Grandmaster realm is already the ceiling of the martial arts world.
There are many beautiful women in this world, and Yang Ke also wants to master the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Great Shift of the Universe, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms martial arts manual, the Nine Yin Manual, and other martial arts techniques that he has been looking forward to for a long time.
During his break, Yang Ke also began practicing the Qingcheng Sect's Heart-Shattering Palm technique.
There was no other way; this world was a low-level martial arts world, with even Shaolin Temple having very few martial arts techniques. He could only use the Heart-Shattering Palm to make up for his progress deficiencies for now, and then fill in the gaps in his skills in the new timeline, including his movement techniques.
Over the course of several months, Yang Ke naturally indulged in the pleasures of love and intimacy during his spare time from cultivation. Once he had mastered the Heart-Shattering Palm technique, Yang Ke signaled to the system that he could proceed with the time travel.
