Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

The capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although the sun was setting in the west, life in the capital was still relatively peaceful. People lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the streets, adorned with blooming flowers, revealed a glimmer of life that this ancient empire still possessed.

Suzaku Street.

It was the main residence of Song Dynasty officials. People who lived here were noble, not rich. No matter how rich you were, you were not qualified to live here.

Prince Wu's Mansion!

It is the most luxurious and grand mansion on Zhuque Street, resplendent and extravagant. Not only does it occupy an extremely large area, but it also has elegant buildings such as gardens, fish ponds, and pavilions, as well as training grounds and martial arts fields.

This mansion was bestowed upon Lin Zhengjun by the Song Dynasty emperor, and the four characters "Guo Zhi Tai Shan" (meaning "Mount Tai of the Nation") on the gate plaque were personally carved by the Song Dynasty emperor.

There are even rumors that Marshal Lin had already died in battle, and when the emperor received the news, he was in tears as he painstakingly carved the four characters onto the plaque.

this day.

The martial arts training ground of the Prince Wu's Mansion.

Clad in white, more beautiful than snow, with a blood-red sword at his waist, he resembles a demon. Elegant and refined, a true immortal; handsome and dashing, a young man.

Lin Yaoxie, dressed in white with a blood-red longsword at his waist, possessed an elegant and refined demeanor that made him seem like a celestial being. Combined with his handsome and dashing appearance, he truly resembled a dashing young master.

Inside the training ground, a hundred soldiers were diligently practicing their martial arts, their sweat pouring down their faces. Their movements and stillness were filled with unrestrained energy.

They were the most loyal guards of the Martial King's Mansion, even to the point of being called death warriors. Therefore, the Martial King passed down cultivation techniques to them, and now they are all at the level of third-rate martial arts masters.

It was precisely because of them that the Wu King's estate was not seized by treacherous people.

Lin Yaoxie nodded slightly as he watched them practice their martial arts. It was quite impressive that the guards had such skills. After all, they started practicing martial arts very late. If they hadn't practiced diligently, they would never have been able to reach such a level.

Having been in this world for two days, Lin Yaoxie's body is still the same, but his identity has changed. After these two days of adjustment, he has accepted everything about this identity, such as the title of the hundred guards and the young marshal.

In fact, this identity doesn't grant him much; he only has three things. First, he has these hundred third-rate skilled guards. Second, he has the identity of a young marshal. Third, he has the Wu Wang Mansion and a host of servants.

However, it's not bad. The young marshal's status is still very useful at crucial moments. Moreover, although these guards are only third-rate martial arts masters, when they form a killing formation in the army, they are enough to kill first-rate masters on the spot.

Based on his observations over this period, Lin Yaoxie has gained a certain understanding of the power dynamics in this world.

A third-rate martial arts master corresponds to the first level of Qi Refining, which is equivalent to a Yellow-level master in the real world.

A second-rate martial arts master corresponds to the second level of Qi Refining, which is equivalent to a Xuan-level master in reality.

A top-tier martial arts master corresponds to the third level of Qi Refining, which is equivalent to a Earth-level master in reality.

The top masters in the martial arts world correspond to the fourth level of Qi Refining, which is equivalent to a Heavenly-level master in reality.

The peerless masters of the martial arts world correspond to the fifth level of Qi Refining, which is equivalent to the Innate Realm in reality.

For now, that's all Lin Yaoxie knows. And it's said that the highest level in this world is the Five Greats, those five peerless masters.

In other words, Lin Yaoxie's current cultivation level is at the level of a first-class master in the martial arts world, but his true combat strength is at the level of a top-tier master, or even a semi-peerless master.

If you still say that cultivation is weak, I have nothing to say. The weakest stage in cultivation is the Qi Refining stage. This stage is not even considered Foundation Establishment.

Nine levels of Qi Refining, three levels of Foundation Establishment, three levels of Golden Core, three realms of Nascent Soul, three realms of Deity Transformation...

There is no difference between cultivators and martial artists in the Qi Refining stage. The only difference is their methods. Some cultivators' methods are much more terrifying than those of martial artists, but their power levels are at the same level. It is only because their methods are different and more powerful that people feel that they are not on the same level. But in fact, they are on the same level. Although the strength of cultivators is often enough to crush martial artists of the same level, they are actually at the same level.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Am the Demon Lord [Seventh Update, Please Donate]

P.S.: Seventh update! Please give me a reward!!

---------------------

Just as Lin Yaoxie was pondering the difference between their realms, the system suddenly spoke in his ear:

Side Quest 1: Entering the Martial World for the First Time.

"Mission requirements: Thirty miles outside Kaifeng, there is a group of bandits known as the Eighteen Green Forest Camps. Destroy them! Raise the name of your young marshal Lin."

"Task reward: 1500 Demon King Points".

Side Quest 2: Defeat the toad who wants to eat swan meat.

"Mission requirements: Huo Du, that toad, suddenly wants to eat swan meat in five days. He actually went to the ancient tomb to propose to Xiaolongnu. He's courting death. Kill him."

"Quest Rewards: 2000 Demon King Points, C-Rank Item 'White Jade Flute'"

Side Quest 3: Become Guo Jing's Apprentice and Seize Military Power!

"Mission requirements: Don't think that you are really asked to become Guo Jing's disciple. It's just a pretext to seize military power in Xiangyang City!"

"Task Rewards: 3000 Demon King Points, B-Rank Skill 'Tianshan Six Yang Palms'"

Side Quest 4: I Don't Like You!

"Mission Requirements: As a demon, I despise those self-important, self-righteous Taoist priests the most. Damn it, defeat the Six Masters of Quanzhen in public!" (One of them died during the Legend of the Condor Heroes period, hence the "Six Masters").

"Quest Rewards: 3000 Demon King Points, B-Rank Skill 'Qiankun Sword'"

Side Quest 5: Daring to Do It All!

"Mission requirements: As a demon, let's first test our courage, hmm... touch Master's wife's little butt, hmm! That's it, this is to test our courage, believe it or not, I believe it anyway."

"Task reward: 500 Demon King Points".

"Mission failed: You must shout three times at the whole world that I am impotent..."

Main Quest: Survive until the era of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber!

"Mission requirements: Quickly cultivate and strive to increase your lifespan, living to the Yuan Dynasty era, the time of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. Good luck, I believe in you."

"Quest Reward: 5000 Demon King Points, A+ Rank Skill 'Sword God's Manual'"

This series of tasks left Lin Yaoxie completely dumbfounded. Several of these tasks were so bizarre that they were outrageous. For example, touching his master's mother's buttocks, or living to the time of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

What's even more frustrating for Lin Yaoxie is that, apart from touching his master's wife, none of these tasks have any punishment. But the punishment for this particular task is just too heartbreaking: he has to announce to the whole world that he is impotent. It's truly something that uncles can tolerate, but aunties can't!

……

The next day.

Dressed in pristine white, Lin Yaoxie rode his steed confidently toward Zhongnan Mountain.

Thirty miles from the capital, Lin Yaoxie had just galloped to this place when he encountered a group of bandits blocking the road. There were dozens of them, and the leader was a second-rate martial arts expert. No wonder ordinary soldiers could not wipe them out.

"Robbery!" said the second-rate expert, who blocked Lin Yaoxie's path with dozens of his underlings.

Lin Yaoxie rode his horse and looked at the group of bandits. Suddenly, he sneered, "This is no way to court death!"

next moment.

Nineteen zombies suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yaoxie, hopping and leaping towards the robbers.

This incredible skill left the ignorant bandits completely stunned. It wasn't until several of their brothers had died that they finally realized what was happening and charged at the zombies with shouts and screams.

however!

The zombie doesn't react at all. No matter how much you try to cut it, it will just strangle you with its own hands!

"Let me do it!" At this moment, the second-rate expert shouted, wielding a large sword and leaping into the air with imposing momentum, a faint white light covering the blade.

next moment.

A wandering corpse was cleaved in two by a single, mid-air slash!

"As expected, these zombies are only somewhat effective against ordinary people." Lin Yaoxie didn't react much; he had already guessed it.

However, even this second-rate expert was in trouble. After killing one zombie, the remaining eighteen zombies turned and jumped towards him.

"Five Tigers Severing the Gate Blade!" The second-rate master wielded his broadsword with fierce power, tearing the zombie's skin and flesh apart, but unfortunately, he couldn't kill it unless you could cut it in two again.

And so, the second-rate expert was torn in two by the bare hands of the eighteen zombies, his flesh and blood scattering across the ground.

The bandits then tried to escape, but one by one they were caught up by the zombies and torn apart alive.

Seeing this, Lin Yaoxie felt a little regretful. When Mao Fang refined these zombies, the corpse poison was removed, so they could not infect the injured people.

"Next time I must train a few with corpse poison. When I lead an army of zombies into battle, who can stop me?" Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, ignoring the bloody scene in front of him and not caring about it at all.

Then Lin Yaoxie rode his horse and led the eighteen zombies straight to the bandits' stronghold, because the mission said that they had to wipe out the stronghold!

It took Lin Yaoxie a full three hours, or six hours, to use the Hundred Ghost Banner and eighteen zombies to wipe out all the thousands of bandits in the mountain stronghold, leaving no one alive.

Moreover, after killing these bandits, Lin Yaoxie, who liked to leave his mark on good deeds, immediately used his blood to write a line of calligraphy on the wall of the mountain stronghold.

"As men of the Southern Song Dynasty, instead of joining the army to defend our country, we have become highway robbers. Today, I, Lin Yaoxie, have been entrusted by my father, Lin Zhengjun, to clean up the mess and restore a bright and clear land to the Song Dynasty and a bright and clear world to the people."

Between the words and phrases, one can truly feel a strong sense of justice and a righteous spirit.

In fact, Lin Yaoxie's goal was very simple: to make a name for himself in the martial arts world.

as predicted.

In five days, with the help of the scheming guards of the Wu King's Mansion, the news that Lin Yaoxie had single-handedly wiped out the 18 outlaw strongholds of over a thousand bandits spread throughout the martial arts world.

Lin Yaoxie's reputation soared in no time, and everyone in the martial arts world called him Young Marshal. This was partly because Lin Zhengjun was the Grand Marshal, partly as a respectful title for Lin Yaoxie, and partly out of admiration for his sense of justice and his extraordinary martial arts skills.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Guo Jing! [He caught a cold]

P.S.: I woke up this morning with a cold and fever, went to the hospital, and damn, it was 39 degrees Celsius! I had to get an IV drip and didn't get back until 6 PM. I felt completely groggy and uncomfortable all over, and I often felt like vomiting, especially with a terrible headache. I wasn't planning on updating today, but I've said since I started writing this book that I wouldn't stop updating, so I forced myself to finish this chapter. If there are any mistakes in this chapter, please leave a comment in the book review section, and I'll correct them tomorrow. I really can't go on anymore, I need to sleep!

--------------------

Zhongnan Mountain is a famous Taoist holy site and also the location of the Quanzhen Sect, which holds a leading position in the martial arts world.

Beautiful mountains and clear waters, lush forests...

Okay, that's enough with the fluff.

Even today, Zhongnan Mountain is still very steep, and there is only one main road leading up the mountain, which was built by the Taoist priests of Zhongnan Mountain.

At this moment, various sounds of slashing and clashing weapons came from the mountaintop. The smell of blood wafted with the wind and carried far and wide. Some blood even gathered together and slowly flowed down the mountain gully, forming a blood stream. It was truly a river of blood. One can imagine how fierce the battle was up there.

But Lin Yaoxie was leisurely walking uphill at this moment, knowing why a bloody battle had taken place on Zhongnan Mountain today.

The current bloody battle arose because Huo Du, the disciple of the Golden Wheel Monk, and his senior brother Darba, along with a large number of followers and subordinates, along with other thieves who came to Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain to take advantage of the chaos, responded to Li Mochou's announcement of a marriage proposal for her junior sister Xiaolongnu when she turned eighteen and came to the Tomb of the Living Dead to welcome her. They took the opportunity to enter Chongyang Palace and cause a great deal of trouble.

On the way up the mountain, there were some corpses lying scattered about, some from the Quanzhen Sect, and some from those who attacked the Quanzhen Sect.

Lin Yaoxie strolled along the bluestone steps. When he reached the mountainside, he was shocked to find that nearly a hundred Quanzhen Taoist priests had formed a sword formation to besiege a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face.

Sword shadows filled the sky, piercing towards the middle-aged man with unparalleled sharpness. However, each Taoist priest who attacked was easily slapped away by the middle-aged man with a palm strike, but he seemed to be holding back and did not injure anyone.
