Chapter 128: Three Heroes of Tiexin Island Depart the Island

After venting the murderous intent in his heart, the sullen Bu Jingyun finally felt much calmer.

He walked alone to the riverbank and placed the Peerless Sword into the water to wipe it slowly; as he wiped the bloodstains from the Peerless Sword, he was simultaneously wiping away the irritability within his heart.

Returning to his original spot, Bu Jingyun said:

"Let's go, I'm fine now; let's hurry to Zhonghua Lou to find Master."

And so, the four of them continued on their journey.

Meanwhile, on a mysterious small island far from the pugilistic world, someone was plotting against Bu Jingyun's Peerless Sword.

It turned out that the Tiexin Island Island Master, Tieshen, had been imprisoned by his own younger brother, Tie Kuangtu, due to a grudge from their early years.

Because his appearance was almost identical to Tieshen's, Tie Kuangtu had impersonated Tieshen and seized control of Tiexin Island.

Tie Kuangtu had immense ambition and intended to forge an invincible battle armor, the Heavenly Tribulation.

However, after many experiments, he discovered that the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor was not as sturdy as he had hoped.

Through his discoveries, he found that the adhesive properties of the Black Cold God Stone left behind by Nuwa could make the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor incomparably sturdy.

But now that the Black Cold God Stone had already been forged into the Peerless Sword, if he wanted to forge the Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor, he would inevitably have to seize the sword from Bu Jingyun's hands.

Tie Kuangtu did not want to act personally; he prepared to use Tieshen's three disciples as his pawns and cannon fodder.

Thus, he summoned Tieshen's three great disciples: Huaimie, Huaikong, and Bai Ling.

He lay on the bed, sickly and looking as if he were on the verge of death.

This appearance completely deceived the three of them, and they asked with immense worry:

"Master, what has happened to you? Where do you feel unwell?"

Tie Kuangtu lied:

"When Master was forging a peerless battle armor, I was struck by Fire Poison; only the Peerless Sword, forged from the legendary Black Cold God Stone, can cure it.

Huaikong, take the Heavenly Tribulation, go to Zhongyuan in my stead, find Bu Jingyun, and borrow his Peerless Sword for a use."

Upon hearing that his master was in trouble and needed his help, Huaikong agreed without a second thought.

Seeing Huaikong agree, Tie Kuangtu was inwardly overjoyed; this Tieshen had truly cultivated three good pieces of cannon fodder for him.

Having achieved his goal, Tie Kuangtu told the three to return, stating that he needed to rest well.

After leaving Tie Kuangtu's room, Huaikong walked straight back to his own room, simply packed his luggage, and then gazed at a sword box in the corner.

Inside the sword box was Tieshen's masterpiece: the fierce beast, Heavenly Tribulation.

Heavenly Tribulation was a fierce beast; it was neither a saber nor a sword, and could be considered the weapon with the most terrifying killing intent in the world of Fengyun.

When Tieshen introduced Heavenly Tribulation to Huaikong, he said:

"It is a fierce beast among weapons!

Once Heavenly Tribulation is unsheathed, it must claim a life before returning! The ferocity of Heavenly Tribulation lies in the fact that the wielder must expend a great deal of internal energy to control this divine weapon; when True Qi fails, the fierce beast will inevitably backfire on its master and injure them!"

Because Huaikong was righteous and full of integrity, Tieshen had entrusted Heavenly Tribulation to Huaikong's care, hoping to use Huaikong's upright nature to suppress Heavenly Tribulation.

Tieshen's idea was correct; the righteous Huaikong and the fierce beast Heavenly Tribulation were a perfect match.

The highly righteous Huaikong could maximize the power of Heavenly Tribulation without being backlashed by it.

Huaikong shouldered the Heavenly Tribulation sword box, took his luggage, and prepared to leave Tiexin Island.

His elder brother Huaimie and Bai Ling had already been waiting for him at the pier for a long time.

After Huaimie and Huaikong shared a big hug, Huaimie patted Huaikong's head and said:

"Huaikong, you must bring the Peerless Sword back safely."

Huaikong nodded and replied:

"I will, Brother."

Huaimie nodded, then muttered to himself:

"Uncrying Death God Bu Jingyun!

I truly wish to have a great battle with you, the Uncrying Death God, and break your legend of invincibility."

Although Huaikong and Huaimie were biological brothers, their personalities were completely different.

Huaikong was kind-hearted, valued relationships and righteousness, was chivalrous, and full of integrity.

Huaimie, however, was wild and uninhibited; although he also valued relationships and righteousness, he was both righteous and evil, acting only on his emotions, and was also a martial arts fanatic who wanted to challenge all the great experts of the pugilistic world.

This was also the reason why Tieshen gave Heavenly Tribulation to Huaikong.

Perhaps Huaimie would make Heavenly Tribulation famous, but he would certainly not be its master.

Huaikong looked at Bai Ling, looked at his beloved, and said reluctantly:

"Bai Ling, you must take good care of yourself and take good care of Master."

Bai Ling nodded obediently and said:

"Huaikong, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Master.

Your journey to borrow the sword from Bu Jingyun will surely not be smooth; you must be extremely careful.

Huaimie, Master, and I will be at Tie-

xin Island waiting for your return."

After a simple farewell to Huaimie and Bai Ling, Huaikong boarded a small boat and sailed toward Zhongyuan.

After Huaikong's small boat slowly disappeared from their sight, the dejected Huaimie and Bai Ling turned around, intending to return to the Iron Gate.

And Tie Kuangtu, who was feigning a serious illness, came to the pier with an expression of concern for his disciples, muttering:

"Huaikong has already left! You must return safely."

Seeing this, Huaimie and Bai Ling were immediately flustered and rushed forward to support the 'terminally ill' Tie Kuangtu.

Bai Ling said considerately:

"Master, you are suffering from a serious illness, why aren't you resting properly in bed? Why have you come out?"

Tie Kuangtu replied, "on the verge of death":

"Your master knows that after Huaikong left, you must be feeling reluctant to let him go.

Especially Huaimie; he has always wanted to cross swords with Bu Jingyun, so he must be feeling even more indignant now.

I sent Huaikong to the Central Plains Martial Arts this time, firstly to have him borrow the Peerless Sword from Bu Jingyun on my behalf.

Secondly, it is because Huaikong is too kind-hearted; I wanted to let Huaikong travel the pugilistic world alone so he could understand the scheming and intrigue of the world.

I am also worried that Huaikong's kindness will harm him, so I require both of you to also rush to the Central Plains to assist Huaikong.

But you must only assist him in secret; you cannot let him know!"

"Then what about you, Master?"

Huaimie asked.

"It does not matter, I can still hold on, and there are so many servants here, so you can go with peace of mind."

Tie Kuangtu wore the expression of a good teacher and a kind father.

Seeing that he had the opportunity to challenge Bu Jingyun, the dark clouds on Huaimie's face immediately dispersed.

He and Bai Ling strode back to their respective rooms, and after simply packing their clothes, they rushed to the pier.

After the two of them said goodbye to Tie Kuangtu, they boarded a small boat and followed closely behind Huaikong toward the Central Plains.

After Tie Kuangtu watched the three of them leave, he stood up straight, completely changing his listless appearance.

He laughed slyly, looking like a man whose treacherous scheme had succeeded:

"Haha, the three of you just obediently bring the Peerless Sword back for this old man.

The day the Peerless Sword is in my hands will be the time my Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor is unveiled, and by then, you can all go down to see Yama."

Tie Kuangtu laughed unscrupulously, as if his beautiful dream were about to come true.
