Chapter 819

It was conceivable just how many experts above the Wu Huang Realm there were in the Great Han Jianghu.

This was not a matter of a few outstanding powerhouses.

Rather, the overall level of the Great Han Jianghu was a grade, or even two grades, ahead of other Jianghu.

Terrifying, it was simply too terrifying!

More people were looking toward the Bai Yu Platform with immense anticipation, wanting to know who the subsequent Martial Emperors were.

……

On the Bai Yu Platform.

Su Chen lightly shook his folding fan, and without waiting for the crowd's discussion to end, he said directly:

"Next, let us review the next Wu Huang on the list."

"Sixth place on the Wu Huang List, Xiongba."

"This person is the most prominent expert in the current Great Han Jianghu, the Leader of the World Association!"

"His path to rise can be called legendary—a legend in the negative sense."

"If you wish to know the details, please listen as Su slowly recounts them."

"In his early years, Xiongba apprenticed under the famous Three Absolutes Elder and had a fellow apprentice named Xiong Wu."

"The two practiced the 'Heaven Frost Fist,' 'Cloud-Rowing Palm,' and 'Wind God Leg' divine arts together, and both cultivated them to the Realm of Perfection."

"However, the Three Absolutes Elder's true inheritance, 'Three-Part Origin Return,' could only be taught to one person."

"Thus, the Three Absolutes Elder decided to choose one person from Xiongba and Xiong Wu to be the successor of the 'Three-Part Origin Return' supreme art."

"To obtain the 'Three-Part Origin Return' manual, Xiongba used schemes and tricks to ambush Xiong Wu, winning the competition."

"But the Three Absolutes Elder saw Xiongba's ambition and ultimately decided to teach the 'Three-Part Origin Return' supreme art to Xiong Wu."

"Xiongba harbored resentment because of this; on the surface, he remained calm, but secretly, he planted a deadly poison in the Three Absolutes Elder and Xiong Wu."

"The Three Absolutes Elder exhausted his final cultivation to protect Xiong Wu as he fled with the 'Three-Part Origin Return' manual, while he himself died from the poison."

"Therefore, although Xiongba racked his brains, he never managed to obtain the 'Three-Part Origin Return' manual he wanted."

"However, relying on his own powerful comprehension, Xiongba created a similar 'Three-Part Origin Return Qi' and derived two other powerful supreme arts: 'Three-Part Divine Finger' and 'Three-Origin Return-to-One'."

"In this respect, Xiongba could be considered to have surpassed his master, the Three Absolutes Elder."

"Afterward, Xiongba became sworn brothers with the Great Han tycoon Yu Feijing, but secretly used the Iron Corpse Mother Silkworm to harm his daughter, Yu'er, to seize the Yu family's assets."

0·······Begging for flowers··········

"It was precisely by relying on this abundant wealth that Xiongba created the World Association force and recruited a large number of experts in a short period."

"For his ambition to dominate the world, he secretly recruited the notorious Twelve Devils of Heaven Pool and sent people to find the Mud Bodhisattva to have his fortune told."

"The Mud Bodhisattva finally appeared and left behind a heavenly hexagram: 'How can the Golden Scale be a thing of the pond? Once it meets the Wind and Cloud, it will transform into a dragon.'"

"Xiongba interpreted the heavenly hexagram himself, believing that he needed to find the Wind and Cloud to assist him so he could soar and leap over the dragon gate."

"Therefore, Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng ostensibly became Xiongba's disciples after passing the selection among tens of thousands of elite World Association disciples, but in reality, they had already been pre-selected by Xiongba."

"Xiongba even spent immense effort to take these two as disciples."

"For example, using Yan Ying to anger Nie Renwang, causing Nie Renwang to re-emerge in the Jianghu, and ultimately taking Nie Feng into the World Association."

"Another example is sending experts like Ma Ying and Bian Fu to exterminate the Huo family that adopted Bu Jingyun, successfully bringing Bu Jingyun under his tutelage."

"After taking Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng as disciples, Xiongba was indeed assisted by heavenly fate, sweeping away all obstacles, causing the World Association to leap into becoming a top-tier force in the Great Han Jianghu in just twenty years."

"His own cultivation reached the peak level of the Wu Huang Realm, and his combat power was peerlessly powerful."

"But as the saying goes, success comes from the Wind and Cloud, and failure also comes from the Wind and Cloud."

"What Xiongba did not know was that his heavenly hexagram had a second half that the Mud Bodhisattva did not tell him."

"That was: 'The Nine Heavens Dragon Chant startles the world, the Wind and Cloud meeting swims in shallow water.'"

"He who rose with the wind with the help of the Wind and Cloud would also inevitably be stranded in shallow water because of losing the Wind and Cloud."

"Therefore, based on a comprehensive assessment, he is provisionally ranked sixth on the Wu Huang List."

As Su Chen's voice fell, the hall exploded.

Although Xiongba had always been known for being ruthless, this was not a black mark for a Jianghu overlord.

It was just that everyone never expected Xiongba to be despicable to such a degree.

The three great taboos in the Jianghu—killing one's master, harming one's brothers, and scheming against one's disciples—Xiongba had done them all.

Although there were many demonic and evil experts in the hall.

But such a vile person as Xiongba was extremely rare, and he was instantly condemned by everyone:

"What a despicable and shameless Xiongba; I never expected him to be such an insidious villain."

"Xiongba's cultivation all came from the Three Absolutes Elder, yet he was not satisfied and instead poisoned the Three Absolutes Elder to death; he is simply worse than a beast."

"I was wondering how Xiongba could start from scratch and build such a large force as the World Association; it turns out he embezzled the assets of his sworn brother, Yu Feijing."

"Xiongba doesn't do a single thing that involves being human, yet he was allowed to obtain heavenly fate; is the Heavens blind?"

"Not so! Not so! Didn't you hear Mr. Su's later words? Success comes from the Wind and Cloud, and failure comes from the Wind and Cloud; he will inevitably be backlashed in the future."

"Although Xiongba is despicable, his martial arts talent is indeed astonishing; he was actually able to deduce the 'Three-Part Origin Return Qi' himself and even surpassed the Three Absolutes Elder; Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun might not necessarily be his opponents."

"Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun's internal energy is the top-quality Martial Saint supreme art, 'Heavenly Extreme Maha Immeasurable'; they will definitely be able to kill Xiongba and avenge their great hatred!"

"Xiongba used so many insidious means to recruit Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun; now it is finally time for him to pay the price."

"Don't speak too soon; Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun have deep internal energy, but if they don't master the method of using it, it will all be in vain."

"I bet one hundred taels of silver that Xiongba will definitely be killed by the Wind and Cloud."

……Gong.
