The Heavens begin by inheriting their grandfather's cheat ability

Chapter 54 All the Masters Emerge

Standing by the window, Shi Zhongyu gazed through the rain curtain at the mountain road outside the town, his expression indifferent.

He had intended to travel day and night to Ye Dao Alliance, but was unexpectedly stranded by the sudden downpour and had to stay in Blackstone Town for the time being, waiting for the rain to stop before setting off again.

Da da da!

The sound of rapid hoofbeats came from outside the inn.

Shi Zhongyu squinted and saw two men wearing straw raincoats and carrying curved knives at their waists stop in front of the inn.

Then he heard the footsteps of two people entering the room.

Shi Zhongyu recalled the curved swords on the two men and felt they were somewhat familiar.

"I remember now, that's a curved sword commonly used by the Leaf Blade Alliance."

After thinking for a moment, he went straight out of the room and sat down in a spot in the lobby, ordering some food.

The two of them had already sat down, and they had thrown their raincoats aside.

One of them was cursing.

"Damn it, this rain couldn't have come at the worst possible time!"

The other person also complained.

"Who can argue with that!"

"It would be such a shame to miss such a large-scale operation inside the gate!"

"Just how powerful is Yama, really? Is he really worth...?"

As he spoke, the man glanced at everyone in the hall and immediately lowered his voice.

"Our sect was originally hostile to the other sects, but this time that person actually forced us to unite with other forces!"

"I've heard he's a swordsman. I'd like to see if his sword is faster than my blade."

His companion scoffed, "Stop bragging. You think you can beat the Blood Shadow Sect Master?"

The man gave an awkward smile.

"I was just saying."

"However, this time, with the combined strength of our sects' experts, even the real King of Hell himself would be slain..."

Shi Zhongyu listened to their conversation and was quite speechless.

The two men were not even second-rate in terms of cultivation, but they did seem to be skilled with knives. However, their conversation mainly consisted of boasting about their martial arts skills.

However, from the two people, he learned that the various sects had indeed joined forces.

Two days ago, while traveling, he learned from some people in the martial arts world that the four sects seemed to be planning to unite.

Why was the news of the four companies' collaboration leaked?

Shi Zhongyu can only be attributed to the fact that he is a disciple of every sect, and none of them are able to keep their mouths shut.

In his view, such joint operations should be kept secret.

Now it's practically common knowledge.

"Could they be using this kind of message to discourage me?"

Shi Zhongyu pondered this possibility.

It's impossible for him to back down.

He absorbed the inner strength of those heretical leftists without any psychological burden.

If there's no reason to absorb the internal energy of righteous disciples, then one must withstand the moral condemnation of those people.

However, there are relatively few upright people.

The power dynamics in the martial arts world are primarily driven by self-interest, and have little to do with good or evil.

After listening to their conversation, Shi Zhongyu thought for a moment and then went over and sat down.

"Who are you, kid?!"

One of them glared at Shi Zhongyu with displeasure.

"Is this your seat? Will you sit down?"

"I am the Jade-Faced Yama!"

"You brat, if you're the Jade-Faced Yama, then I'm the Jade-Faced Yama's father!"

The man burst into laughter as he spoke.

The man laughed uncontrollably, but his companion looked terrified.

His companion looked Shi Zhongyu up and down before suddenly drawing his sword.

"Go to hell!"

Clang!

Shi Zhongyu remained seated on the table without moving, and with a slight flick of his finger, used his powerful internal force to deflect the knife from his opponent's hand.

The other person finally stopped laughing wildly.

He immediately realized that he had truly encountered the Jade-Faced Yama.

He was about to grab the knife when his arm was grabbed.

"I……"

He had just opened his mouth when suddenly his internal energy flowed uncontrollably down his arm.

In the blink of an eye, he lost all his internal energy.

Snapped!

Shi Zhongyu shattered the opponent's throat with a single finger.

At that moment, the other person turned around and tried to run away.

Shi Zhongyu picked up the chopsticks, pinched them between two fingers, and suddenly threw them, stabbing them into the other person's calf, thus trapping the other person.

"Young Master Yama, spare my life!"

After realizing he couldn't escape, the man immediately lay on the ground and begged for mercy.

At this moment, all the martial arts enthusiasts in the lobby were stunned by what they saw.

The innkeeper and his waiter quickly hid behind the counter.

Shi Zhongyu glanced at the person on the ground and then began to interrogate him.

After the interrogation, Shi Zhongyu absorbed the man's internal energy and then killed him.

"May you be quick with your knife in your next life!"

Shi Zhongyu chuckled and tossed a gold leaf to the innkeeper.

"Dispose of the body!"

After saying this, he didn't even look at the other people in the hall and went straight back to his room.

It rained heavily in Blackstone for five days.

The rain temporarily stopped Shi Zhongyu, but it didn't stop news from Blackstone Town.

Especially since he was seen killing members of the Ye Dao Alliance a couple of days ago, the news spread very quickly.

Several people were sitting in the main hall of a valley where the Leaf Blade Alliance was located.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a resolute face.

After hearing the news from his subordinates, he looked at the people sitting to his left and right.

"Brothers, reliable information: the Jade-Faced Yama is in Blackstone Town!"

Below him, two people sat on his left and one person on his right.

"Now that they've appeared in Blackrock Town, we don't need to wait here anymore!"

The one speaking was one of the men on the left. He was emaciated, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were black and pupil-less, and he was dressed in a black robe.

As soon as the man finished speaking, a burly man with a fierce face, wearing black armor and with a ghost-head knife hanging at his waist, slammed his hand on the table.

"Brother Li is right. We calculated that he should have arrived at your alliance, Brother Ye, but we didn't expect him to be stopped by the heavy rain!"

The effeminate-looking man sitting opposite the two even stood up.

"In that case, what are we waiting for!"

"We've already mustered our forces; we can set off now."

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Jinghong, who was sitting in the main seat.

"What do you think, Brother Ye?"

Ye Jinghong gripped the curved knife in his hand.

"Many of our disciples have died or been injured. If we continue to cower and hide, we will surely be ridiculed by the entire martial arts world."

"Since he didn't come, let's go over there!"

As he spoke, he gave instructions to the deputy sect leader beside him.

"Notify your disciples to assemble immediately!"

"yes!"

The leader of the Evil Fiend Hall, the leader of the Seven Fiend Ridge, and the master of the Black Mountain Ghost Cave all instructed their attendants to gather their disciples.

After a stick of incense had burned, the four factions, with their full forces, left the valley in a grand and imposing manner.

Blackstone Town Inn.

Shi Zhongyu looked at the rain that had stopped and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's finally stopped."

"I wonder if destroying these four forces will allow me to advance my cultivation level by another level."

His goal is Xia Ke Island, but he doesn't know what the two island lords are like when he gets there.

It's more reliable to have higher martial arts skills yourself.

Although Shi Zhongyu wanted to destroy those four forces, he did not set off immediately, as several days of heavy rain had made the roads muddy and impassable.

He needs to wait a little longer.

He only waited one day, and the next day, as he was preparing to take action, he learned that the four major forces had joined forces and were heading towards Black Jade Town.

Shi Zhongyu was delighted.

They came to deliver it voluntarily.

However, he was not one to sit and wait, especially since the four forces had joined forces and made no attempt to conceal their route.

Shi Zhongyu immediately mounted his horse and left the inn.

No sooner had he left than news spread that Jade-Faced Yama had been frightened away by the four forces.
