Chapter 155: The Hero Assembly Concludes

In fact, the moment Di Shitian first saw Huaimie, he felt a deep interest in him.

Although the brothers Huaimie and Huaikong were both exceptionally gifted, Huaimie possessed a domineering aura that Huaikong lacked.

Huaimie wanted to challenge the heroes of the world and become the number one in the martial arts world.

Huaikong, however, was chivalrous at heart and only wanted to live in peace and protect his own happiness.

This desire of Huaimie's to look down upon the world was something he could put to use.

After Pojun died, the Greedy Wolf and Heavenly Blade swords remained, so Di Shitian's plan was to hand them over to Huaimie; with Huaimie's talent, mastering these two swords should be no problem.

Now that the seven weapons had been gathered, Di Shitian's goal had been achieved, and the Hero Assembly had become utterly dull to him.

Having lost interest in the Hero Assembly, Di Shitian said to Huaikong and Huaimie:

"Huaikong, Huaimie, the two of you, come with me!"

Di Shitian vanished right before everyone's eyes, and the brothers Huaikong and Huaimie flew into the Heavenly Gate without a second thought.

With Di Shitian's departure, the scene began to grow rowdy.

"The Hero Assembly hasn't ended yet, so why has this Di Shitian left?

What does he mean by this?"

The crowd discussed it fervently, and even Qin Shuang and the others were very confused about what Di Shitian was doing.

Duan Fengyun silently thought about the contestants who had just competed and looked at their respective weapons; suddenly, he realized Di Shitian's intention.

Di Shitian was using the Hero Assembly to select people for the Seven Weapons Slay Dragon.

Based on the recent matches, Duan Fengyun guessed the candidates for the Seven Weapons Slay Dragon: himself, Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, Huaikong, Jian Chen, and Huang Ying.

But Duan Fengyun could not guess the final person.

Originally, he thought this spot would be for Pojun, but now that Pojun had been killed by Jian Chen, who would become the seventh person for the Seven Weapons Slay Dragon?

Duan Fengyun was now completely bewildered, his mind constantly guessing at Di Shitian's choice.

But after a long time, he still could not figure it out.

He felt irritable in his heart and said:

"Ah, forget it.

When soldiers come, block them with a general; when water comes, cover it with earth. I don't believe a single variable can affect my plans."

With Di Shitian's departure, Wuming, who was on the viewing platform, was also about to be taken away.

Seeing that Wuming, whom they had finally found with such difficulty, was about to be taken away, the three of them—eager to save their master—flew directly onto the viewing platform to rescue him.

But the three had just arrived at the viewing

platform when they were blocked by the three: Divine Calculator, Divine Official, and Shenmu.

Shenmu spoke up and said:

"Wuming has already been invited by Di Shitian to be a guest at the Heavenly Gate. His visit isn't over yet, so he cannot leave!"

"Spare me the nonsense. We will not leave today without taking my master with us."

Jian Chen shouted.

Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng drew their weapons, pointing them at their old rivals, Divine Calculator and Divine Official.

"If I cannot take my master away today, I will take your lives instead!"

Without further ado, the two of them began a great battle against Divine Calculator and Divine Official.

On his side, Jian Chen drew his sword and pointed it at Shenmu, saying:

"I do not wish to raise a hand against a woman.

But if you insist on stopping me, then do not blame me for being impolite."

Shenmu beckoned with her finger and replied:

"Come then, I would like to see how you intend to be impolite to me."

Since Shenmu had spoken, how could Jian Chen not oblige? He drew his Hero Sword and began to fight with her.

Seeing Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng start to fight, how could Duan Fengyun and Qin Shuang stand idly by?

"Long Er, take care of yourself!"

After giving instructions to Long Er, Duan Fengyun flew onto the viewing platform with Qin Shuang.

Wuer extended his sword to block them, saying:

"You are using your numbers to bully others; it is a bit beneath the dignity of a hero!"

Duan Fengyun struck with his sword, parrying Wuer's blade, and said:

"Mind your own business. If you don't want to die, get out of the way."

Duan Fengyun actually admired Wuer, for he was a man who valued loyalty and righteousness.

In the original story, after Wuer learned that Huaikong had been killed by Di Shitian, he risked his life to avenge him.

This point made Duan Fengyun admire Wuer greatly.

Therefore, Duan Fengyun did not want to be enemies with Wuer.

But Wuer was asking for trouble; after his sword was parried by Duan Fengyun, he drew his own sword and prepared to fight both Duan Fengyun and Qin Shuang.

In fact, Wuer knew his own level of strength; trying to stop Duan Fengyun and Qin Shuang was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

But there was no other way; if he stood by and watched, allowing Duan Fengyun and Qin Shuang to join the battle, he would be kicked out of the Heavenly Gate the very next day.

Thinking of those dark days as a slave in the past, Wuer felt fear in his heart.

That was why he gathered his courage and pointed his sword at the two of them.

Duan Fengyun used a single strike of the Cloud-Dispelling Palm to send Wuer

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He landed beneath the spectator stand, then swiftly joined the ranks of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun with Qin Shuang.

Just as the group was about to launch a great battle, Di Shitian returned after having left.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Di Shitian emerged and, in just a few moves, knocked them all to the ground, saying, "You are still too green to try and save Wuming."

Di Shitian looked at the group lying on the ground and laughed loudly:

"I consider you all rare martial arts prodigies, and I do not wish to stifle talent.

Therefore, I will spare you this once; I hope you will conduct yourselves well."

Seeing the group beaten to the ground, Wuming also shouted:

"Chen'er, Jingyun, Feng'er, all of you, go back quickly.

You are no match for Di Shitian; I am doing just fine here, do not sacrifice yourselves in vain."

Duan Fengyun and Qin Shuang held back Bu Jingyun and Jian Chen, who still wanted to press forward, and said:

"Senior Wuming is right; we are currently no match for Di Shitian.

Let us temporarily let Senior Wuming suffer this grievance at Heaven Gate for a while."

Under the forceful obstruction of Duan Fengyun and Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun and Jian Chen finally calmed down.

The three of them kowtowed three times to Wuming and said:

"Master, your disciples are unfilial and lack the ability to rescue you.

One day, your disciples will surely find a way to rescue you, Master."

Wuming nodded with gratification; these fellows had grown up.

By the time Nie Feng and the other two finished their final kowtow and looked up, Di Shitian, Wuming, and the others had long since vanished.

Aside from the five of them—Duan Fengyun and the others—only Shenmu and Wuer remained on the spectator stand.

Shenmu shouted to the martial artists beneath the stand:

"Honored heroes, my Heaven Gate's Hero Assembly has concluded due to special circumstances.

If there are any individuals or sects who wish to join my Heaven Gate, please remember to come here and report.

All who join my Heaven Gate shall receive immense benefits."

After Shenmu finished speaking, many people in the crowd abandoned their original sects and joined Heaven Gate.

"What a bunch of fence-sitters.

Let's see where you will go when Heaven Gate collapses in the future."

Duan Fengyun mocked this group of people who were greedy for gain, disloyal, and cowardly.

Shenmu chuckled and said:

"Duan Fengyun, rest assured, my Heaven Gate will never collapse.

Heaven Gate will be like Di Shitian—immortal and indestructible!"
