Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

The four shots not only forced the two men back, but also pressed their advantage by each firing a shot, the tips of the spears as cold as snow, each one filled with murderous intent.

Hen Qiangu finally understood how his younger brother could have died so easily; such marksmanship had reached a state of perfection, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "The Heavenly Dog Devours the Moon!"

In an instant, a giant dog's head appeared in the night sky, completely swallowing the rising moon. In the pitch-black darkness, the dog's head suddenly transformed into a shadow of blades.

Everything slowed down, except for the knife in Hen Qiangu's hand.

Just when everything around was moving at a snail's pace, the Shadow Sharp Blade pierced through the Silver Moon Spear circle and approached Huang Quan's chest.

Unexpectedly, Huang Quan's eyes changed, and his gun stance changed accordingly: "Huang Quan's Extradition - Shuang Ning Qing Hong, die!"

This move was created by Huang Quan by combining the Ning and Qing scrolls of the Military Scriptures with his own ultimate technique. The Ning scroll slows down enemies, while the Qing scroll eliminates all negative status effects.

In an instant, Hen Qiangu's inner strength faltered, and all his movements became sluggish. The Shadow Sharpness landed on Huang Quan's chest, but could no longer penetrate.

Those who play with time will eventually be played by time.

Before Hen Qiangu could withdraw, Huang Quan launched a counterattack, stabbing Hen Qiangu in the abdomen and then lifting him up, leaving him hanging in mid-air.

"Ah!"

Hen Qiangu never imagined that he and his younger brother would not only die at the hands of the same person, but also in the exact same way.

Awakened by Hen Qiangu's screams, Yu Yu Tianjiao leaped into the clouds and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Huang Quan stared at a cloud shadow in the night sky and sneered, "If he were here, with a single strike of the Heaven-Shattering Star-Slaying Technique, he could cut down your entire Battle Cloud Realm and kill you all!"

Chao Yizhu had barely managed to recover a sliver of his inner energy when the battle was already over.

He stood up: "Huang Quan, thank you."

"You're too kind. Lord Wu asked me to convey a message."

"Oh?"

"Wu Jun wants you to focus on the key to the Beacon Fire. We will find out who is behind the Death Forbidden Technique and restore justice to the martial world."

"I understand, thank you."

Chao Yizhu took out the golden dragon lock and handed it to Huang Quan, then asked, "I thank you for your wife's kindness in saving Qing Shuangtai."

"Her..."

Huang Quan patted Chao Yizhu on the shoulder: "She's living happily in Tiandu, and it seems she's never mentioned you."

"This……"

After Huang Quan and Chao Yizhu left, a masked man in golden robes walked over from a distance and picked up Hen Qiangu's body.

"Sending you back to Yandu is my last act of kindness towards my partner, and also the last value my partner has given me, hehehe."

Huang Quan took the Golden Dragon Lock from Chao Yizhu and came to Tianfo Yuanxiang. Now it is time for Wang Chenyuan to repay his debts.

Unexpectedly, just as they arrived at the outskirts of the Buddhist village, they heard a violent tremor coming from the other end of the broken Shenque, as if a thousand ghosts were wailing and ten thousand demons were roaring.

As Huang Quan swiftly swept through the deep palace, he saw that the earth's veins deep within the Buddhist land had been completely torn apart. In the enormous rift, a blood-red pillar shot straight into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky as if it were the end of the world.

Amidst the crimson blood filling the sky, only a pure white jade disc slowly rotates.

Beneath the jade plate stood Wang Chenyuan, Yan Wushang, and Duoshenque. Guihuang Hell Transformation opened his double pupils, and two streams of dark blue ghostly power struck the jade plate, activating its energy.

Huang Quan had no idea why the Buddhist realm would conspire with the demon realm, nor what kind of ceremony they were holding. He looked around and saw thousands of Buddhist monks in the rift valley, divided into two factions, killing each other with a ferocity far greater than that of their own enemies.

Among them were three top-tier masters who, with a swift and decisive strike, reaped the lives of countless monks.

"How could this be? He's gone mad..."

Just then, a nun covered in blood ran towards the Yellow Springs. Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, she collapsed on the ground before she could escape the deep cave. But she did not give up and slowly crawled on the ground, step by step towards the Yellow Springs.

Huang Quan couldn't bear it, so he took a few steps to her and helped her up: "What happened in Tianfo Yuanxiang?"

The nun pulled a blood-stained letter from her chest and whispered, "Please give this to Yiye Shu and tell him that the Buddhist Realm has been taken over by the Desire Realm. Please ask him to save the Buddhist Realm... save the Buddhist Realm..."

The final words were spoken at the phrase "Save the Buddha Village".

Huang Quan closed her eyes and looked up at Shen Que once more. A strange pattern appeared in the sky above the jade plate.

The instant the pattern appeared, two orbs of light shot out from the deep cave.

Cheers erupted simultaneously in both the Buddhist realm and the demon realm.

Huang Quan rubbed his eyes: "This world must be crazy... He said that the matter of the Buddhist village should be handled by the Three Fish, and that he should head to the Non-Horse Dreamland."

Chapter 207 Spring Night Dream Pavilion Doesn't Welcome Older Men

After leaving Tianfo's original homeland, I traveled swiftly all the way to Huangquan and arrived at Feima Mengqu.

This is a private residence with a garden, decorated in an extremely exquisite and tranquil style. There is flowing water in front of the house and a high mountain behind it. Several flowering trees lean against the rocks. The scenery seems to be arranged unintentionally, but it contains a mysterious formation.

"Reversing Yin and Yang, and mastering the Five Elements, it would be truly difficult for anyone other than a practitioner of this art to enter your esteemed residence."

Huang Quan emerged from the strange formation and stepped into the room.

A refined scholar dressed in white was seen playing the zither in the center, with Qing Haichao and Huan Zhengxiu sitting on either side to listen.

Qing Haichao laughed and said, "I have said before, this formation cannot defeat Huang Quan."

The music faded away.

The musician bowed and said, "I am Wu Mengsheng, and my skills are but trifles. I hope you will forgive my poor performance."

Huang Quan looked around and then fixed his gaze on his face: "Your mannerisms are very similar to someone else's."

"Eh, it is said that there are three people in the world who look alike. Perhaps you have seen a face that resembles mine."

"I'm not talking about face. Anyway, let's get down to business. Something's happened in Tianfo Yuanxiang, details are as follows..."

Huang Quan recounted what he had witnessed, then took out the blood-stained letter and handed it to Sanyu Wumengsheng.

"How could this be?"

Sanyu Wumengsheng disregarded the fact that the letter was addressed to Yiyeshu and opened it directly. The more he read, the more nervous he became, until his face turned deathly pale by the end.

Qing Haichao and Huan Zhengxiu exchanged a glance, both surprised and puzzled.

The two arrived at Fei Ma Meng Qu almost one after the other. First, they saw Wu Meng Sheng use his miraculous skills to help Ye Tu Ling come back to life. Then they talked with him and listened to him play the zither. They felt that this person was exceptionally talented. His knowledge and vision were extraordinary, and he knew the history of the martial arts world like the back of his hand.

Such panic at this moment must mean something terrible has happened.

Sure enough, Sanyu Wumengsheng put down the letter and sighed, "Alas, the demon Buddha Mara has returned with a vengeance, and the Heavenly Plain Buddhist Land has been taken over by the Desire Realm."

"what!"

"Mofo Boshun!"

"This letter was written by Ershanduo, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Buddhist Land. She said that Huizuo Wangchenyuan, who now leads the Buddhist Land, is actually the assistant seat of the Desire Realm. The Desire Realm and the Demon Realm cooperated and learned the method to break the seal of Mara through the Nine Wheels of the Jade Sea."

Huan Zhengxiu still couldn't believe it: "This is impossible. Back then, Mara was shot into the sky by the Bodhi Bow and sealed in the unknown space of the Nebula River. No one knows what position the Nebula River holds."

"Nothing is impossible. The cooperation between the Desire Realm and the Demon Realm must be to use the Ghost Eye's power to find the location of the seal."

Qing Haichao shared his speculation.

After the initial panic subsided, Wu Mengsheng calmed down and stated each point in turn:

"I will immediately consult with Senior Yi Ye Shu for a solution."

"Please convey to the Martial Lord from the Yellow Springs that we must never allow the Demon Buddha Mara to return to the Bitter Realm."

"Furthermore, the demon realm is aiding and abetting evil. Even if the Holy Infant Master has a past relationship with the Heavenly Emperor, I will absolutely not allow them to continue to wreak havoc on the martial world."

Huang Quan remained noncommittal to his words: "I will convey the matter of Demon Buddha Bo Xun. However, please have Qin Jiaxian hand over that Golden Dragon Lock to me. The direction of the Death Forbidden Technique can only be determined by the Heavenly Capital."

“I understand. Qin Jiaxian is resting after being frightened. I will go and get it for you.”

Soon, Wu Mengsheng took out Qin Jiaxian's Golden Dragon Lock, handed it to Huang Quan, and the three of them took their leave.

After leaving Fei Ma Meng Qu, Huang Quan told Qing Hai Chao and Huan Zheng Xiu Ya about how he saved Chao Yi Zhu and killed Hen Qian Gu.

With Qin Jiaxian's key added, Huang Quan now has three keys.

"I will spread this message to prevent the remaining hunters from harassing Chao Yizhu and Qin Jiaxian again."

Qing Haichao said worriedly, "In that case, you are putting yourself in danger."

"It's alright, I will continue to track down Wang Chenyuan."

"I and the Vice Chairman went to the Spring Night Dream Pavilion to retrieve the one that Bu Xiangchen was holding."

Spring Night Dream Pavilion is a strange pavilion that suddenly appeared in the martial arts world. Some say that a beautiful flower lord lives in the pavilion, who can command all the flowers, plants and trees in the world and whose cultivation is almost divine.

Any man who wins the favor of the Flower Lord will be granted the right to stay overnight at the Dream Pavilion and will also receive unexpected surprises.

When Qing Haichao and Huan Zhengxiu arrived at the Spring Night Dream Pavilion, the door was half-closed, and a handsome young man was leaning against the doorpost.

Upon seeing the two, the young man pursed his lips and said, "Hua Jun has guests today, please leave."

Qing Haichao clasped his hands and said, "We have important business to attend to, please inform us, young brother."

"Hey you two uncles, you're not the type that Hua Jun likes, so why are you here to join in the fun? If you upset Hua Jun, you'll be kicked out at best, and have your limbs broken at worst."

"Ok?"

"The other day, a middle-aged man who looks a lot like you came here. Guess how he is now?"

"how was it?"

"He's been tied up and thrown into the river. I wonder if this innate human uncle will drown, hahahaha!"

Just then, the door opened and a clever maid walked out.

She first gave the young man a light scolding: "Hey, young man, where are your eyes? These two gentlemen are of good appearance and have an elegant demeanor. They are obviously here to discuss serious matters with you. They are not comparable to those frivolous bees and butterflies."

Then, she smiled and said to Qing Haichao and Huan Zhengxiu, "This servant carries a zither. May I ask your honorable names and what brings you here?"

“Miss Baoqin, I am Bei Lie Jingtao Qinghaichao, and this is Huan Zhengxiuya, the vice chairman of the Sword Debate Sea. We have come here for the matter of the Death Prohibition Decision.”

"The Death Restriction... Gentlemen, please come inside and wait."

Baoqin welcomed the two into the building.

From the outside, this building appears to be an ordinary sight, but once inside, it reveals a hidden paradise. In addition to a garden full of exotic flowers and plants, there is also a huge soft couch placed among the flowers and trees.

A soft couch was draped with red gauze. A gentle breeze blew, lifting the gauze curtains and revealing various amorous items on the couch.
