The Heavens begin by inheriting their grandfather's cheat ability

Chapter 44 The Inherited Divine Skill of Lingjiu Palace

"Blood Shadow Sect is handling business; bystanders get out of the way!"

A group of people dressed in dark red outfits and with their faces covered in black veils stormed into a tavern.

Upon hearing that they were from the Blood Shadow Sect, the customers in the tavern all turned pale and scrambled out of the tavern.

Inside the tavern, Shi Zhongyu sat calmly.

His gaze swept over the Blood Shadow Sect assassins who had surrounded him, and his hand rested on the hilt of his sword.

After the last attack at the teahouse, he was ambushed again on his way to the Blood Shadow Sect.

This time, however, it was the third wave of Blood Shadow Sect assassins that attacked.

Compared to the previous two times, there were more people this time.

Shi Zhongyu turned his gaze to the three figures at the front.

These three were dressed differently from the others; their robes were embroidered with gold trim.

Instead of a face towel, they wore masks of rabbits, pigs, and chickens.

"So they are three of the Twelve Shadow Assassins!"

Shi Zhongyu took the initiative to speak.

Besides its most powerful sect leader, the Blood Shadow Sect has twelve Shadow Assassins under its command.

Clearly, these three are the three members of the Blood Shadow Sect.

The one wearing the pig mask was clearly the leader of the three, and he looked at Shi Zhongyu with indifferent eyes.

"No one dares to call themselves Yama before our Blood Shadow Sect; you're the first!"

Shi Zhongyu chuckled, his tone quite honest.

"It was sent down by people in the martial arts world; there's nothing I can do about it."

He didn't want to be called the King of Hell; how could the title of Sword God have such prestige?

As soon as Shi Zhongyu finished speaking, the one among the three wearing the chicken mask spoke up.

"Seventh Pig, why waste words with this kid? He killed nearly thirty of our brothers!"

His voice was icy cold, and his gaze toward Shi Zhongyu was filled with murderous intent.

As he spoke, he gripped the narrow-bladed dagger in his hand.

Shi Zhongyu looked at the man, his eyes brightening slightly.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone use two swords, which piqued his interest.

"To be honest, those of you who came here to die are too weak."

"Could you guys make it a bit more difficult for me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man wearing the chicken mask drew his twin swords with a swift motion.

"Arrogant!"

"Today, let me experience the swordsmanship of this Jade-Faced Yama!"

After drawing his longsword, he said to the two men beside him, "Neither of you make a move; let me handle him!"

Pig Seven and Rabbit silently took a step back, but at the same time they also gripped their weapons.

"So verbose!"

Shi Zhongyu roared and slammed his hand on the table, drawing the Cold Cloud Sword from its sheath.

The swordsman with two swords only felt a flash of white light before his eyes. The opponent's sword was so fast that he couldn't even see the trajectory. Before his two swords could even make contact, his wrists went numb at the same time.

Two soft snapping sounds, and both wrists were broken!

Pig Seven and Rabbit, who were watching from the sidelines, turned pale with horror. Before they could even make a move, the Cold Sky Sword had already pierced through the sky like a meteor and went straight into Chicken Nine's heart.

In the blink of an eye, the two swordsmen fell straight to the ground without even uttering a cry of pain.

Shi Zhongyu sheathed his sword, his brocade robes unstained by a single drop of blood.

His gaze swept over the two of them.

"Which of you is coming? Or is it just one...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Pig Seven waved to his brothers behind him.

"This man's skill is unfathomable. Let's attack together and kill him!"

The Blood Shadow Sect disciples immediately surrounded and attacked.

Shi Zhongyu's eyes turned cold, and the Cold Sky Sword was drawn once more.

Half an hour later, Shi Zhongyu, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a gourd of milk wine, left the tavern.

Those outside saw Shi Zhongyu ride away on horseback, and some waited for a while longer, but there was still no movement from inside the tavern.

So they proceeded cautiously.

The first thing you see is a jumble of corpses lying around.

"Hiss, who...who is that person? How did they manage to wipe out this group of Blood Shadow Assassins!"

"A white horse vanishes without a trace, traveling a thousand miles alone; he... he is the Jade-Faced Yama!"

"Jade-faced Yama!"

Those who know this are deeply shocked; the Jade-Faced Yama truly lives up to his name.

Some people, unaware of this, inquired out of curiosity, and were equally shocked after being explained.

At this time, Shi Zhongyu had already left.

Half a month later, outside Duanyun Town, Shi Zhongyu led his white horse into the town.

As soon as he entered an inn, some of the martial arts practitioners inside immediately changed color upon seeing Shi Zhongyu's face.

Some people also looked excited.

"It's the Jade-Faced Yama!"

"Is that the Jade-Faced Yama who slaughtered the Blood Shadow Sect? I heard he fought the Blood Shadow Sect's patriarch for seven days and seven nights, finally beheading him with a single sword strike!"

"Bullshit, it's clearly three days and three nights, seven days and seven nights, wouldn't they starve to death?"

Shi Zhongyu listened to the discussions around him, his expression remaining unchanged.

He is now completely immune to these comments.

He was so impressed by the exaggerated claims made by some people that he began to doubt whether he had actually done it.

The leader of the Blood Shadow Sect is indeed powerful; his Blood Shadow Divine Skill is not to be underestimated.

His opponent's poison skills, in particular, made things quite difficult for him.

With his profound internal strength and unparalleled lightness skill, he finally managed to kill his opponent after twelve rounds!

As for why the story spread to the Western Regions, it became known as three days and three nights or one day and one night.

It's obviously someone else's interpretation.

Just as he was checking in, he suddenly heard other people talking.

"What is he doing in Broken Soul Town at this time?"

"Could it be that they're also after the martial arts manual?"

Shi Zhongyu paused in taking out his money.

The phrase "martial arts manual" triggered his sensitive words.

After annihilating Black Wind Stronghold, he neither looted gold and silver treasures nor searched for martial arts manuals.

However, after arriving at the Blood Shadow Sect, he killed the sect leader and found the sect's secret manual.

It is a poisonous skill that requires ingesting and soaking in various toxins before it can be mastered.

After mastering martial arts, his face became withered and emaciated.

He had absolutely no interest in it.

After paying the money, Shi Zhongyu turned his attention to the man who had said he was after the martial arts manual.

"Waiter, please put those gentlemen's food and drinks on my tab!"

After saying this, Shi Zhongyu cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the man.

"Brother, what kind of martial arts manual are you talking about?"

Originally, the man dared not refuse to answer because of Shi Zhongyu's title of "Jade-Faced Yama".

The other party actually treated him to drinks with great generosity. The Jade-Faced Yama offered to drink on his own initiative. Just thinking about it made him feel good.

Upon hearing Shi Zhongyu's question, he quickly stood up and respectfully replied, "Recently, rumors have been circulating in the martial arts world that a divine martial arts manual is hidden in a valley nearby. If one cultivates that manual, one will become an unparalleled master!"

"Oh, do you know what kind of divine skill manual it is?"

"It's said to be related to the hermit's Lingjiu Palace, and is said to be one of the Lingjiu Palace's inherited divine skills!"

Lingjiu Palace?

Shi Zhongyu thought of Xu Zhu, one of the three chosen ones of great fortune.

Shi Zhongyu became interested.

I wonder what kind of martial art the Lingjiu Palace's inherited divine skill will be.

Is there any connection between the Lingjiu Palace in this world and the Lingjiu Palace in Tianlong?

Thinking of this, Shi Zhongyu asked softly, "Brother, do you know where Lingjiu Palace is?"

"Young Master Yama is interested in Lingjiu Palace?"

Before Shi Zhongyu could reply, the man hurriedly said, "I've heard that Lingjiu Palace is located over in Tianshan, but I haven't seen any of their disciples come out for a long time."

"If anyone tries to go there, they will be turned back!"
