"Grandmaster Tang is already so old, yet you still can't let go of the feud between Tang Clan and Lei Clan Fort?" Lei Hong looked at Grandmaster Tang, and spoke with a deep voice.

Grandmaster Tang shook his head. "This is about the martial world’s interests. What feud is there to speak about?"

"Martial world’s interests? What does Grandmaster Tang mean---" Lei Hong asked with a frown.

"There was never really a feud between us. It’s just Lei Clan Fort stood in the way of Tang Clan. Anyone who stands in our way must be removed," Grandmaster Tang said faintly. "Lei Hong, do you know that when I was young, I told the then Grandmaster a line. I said that I have a dream, and that is to unite all under Heaven."

"Unite all under Heaven?" Lei Hong murmured.

"Yes, uniting all under Heaven, can also be all under Tang. The Tang, of the Tang Clan of Central Shu." Grandmaster Tang’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

"I think I’m hearing what Grandmaster Tang means. Tang Clan is here today, not to seek revenge, but to—" Lei Hong waved his sleeves. "Annihilate our clan!"

Grandmaster Tang stretched out his hand lightly. The young Tang Clan disciple who had been looking after their luggage in the backyard since they arrived had already entered the hall. He passed the smoking pipe into Grandmaster Tang’s hand, who brought it to his mouth and inhaled. He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, then remarked casually, "Kill him."

Tang Qisha and Tang Huang attacked at the same time.

Tang Qisha was the successor of the Tang Clan's Heaven Roller gloves. Although he was raised in a family of hidden weapons, he specialised in methods of breaking hidden weapons. Yet, he’s able to break hidden weapons because he understood all hidden weapons under Heaven! His name was Qisha (‘seven kills’) because when he saw a person, he already had in his mind, seven different ways to kill him!

His attack was simple. He threw a fist at Lei Hong.

Tang Clan was known to specialise first in hidden weapons, second in poisons, and third in physical skills. Their internal strength core techniques, fist techniques, weapon techniques, were not considered superior. Therefore, his fist was naturally more than just a fist.

Lei Hong also threw a fist, and his fist was very different. After Lei Clan Fort sealed the blade and hung the sword, apart from their explosives, they practiced their finger techniques and fist techniques. Lei Clan was known for two fingers and three fists: the two finger techniques were the Thunderclap Fingers, referred to as "a single finger to break Cangshan, two fingers to break Qian Kun" and the Fallen Trance Fingers, which “broke the soul, and extinguished longevity"; the three fist techniques were the Unseen Fists, which “before the fist connected, the qi arrived first”, the Unfettered Fists, which was “swift as a sword, complicated and fantastical", and the Five Thunder Big Dipper Fists, which was “three thousand miles of wind from a fist together with the tide of the world”.

On the roof, Lei Qianhu struck his fist at Mu Yumo. The wind from the fist was domineering and forced the four younger ladies from Mu House to lose their footing. Only Mu Yumo was able to resist the wind from the fist. That was the Five Thunder Big Dipper Fists, which was both rigid and ferocious. Back then, Lei Qianhu had used this fist when he faced the palm from Elder You Bing. He shattered You Bing's meridians with this extremely domineering palm power.

Meanwhile, within the hall, after Lei Hong struck his fist, there appeared many illusions with images of fists. These fists were not as domineering as the Five Thunder Big Dipper Fists. Instead, they were like floating flowers and leaves, and quite beautiful to watch.

Tang Qisha's fist suddenly changed. When his fist met Lei Hong's, he suddenly opened his hand, changing from a fist to a palm, and within the centre of his palm was a spot of red light.

It was a hidden weapon of the Tang Clan, and also a poison of the Tang Clan: Drop of Red.

If you touch this Drop of Red, then a drop of blood will flow from your palm as if it was pricked by a needle. A brightly-coloured drop that was as beautiful as a red rosary pea. But, very soon, that bead of blood will turn black, and then flow backwards, the blood running against the flow, until finally, the whole person will explode and turn into a pool of filthy and putrid black water. This Drop of Red was both a hidden weapon and a poison, and there was probably a way to escape it. Back then, someone from the Tianshan Sect was hit by this Drop of Red and he managed to survive in the end. That’s because when he saw that drop of red rosary pea, he chopped off his entire arm.

However, when Tang Qisha's palm touched Lei Hong's fist, he felt as if he’d touched an illusion, and he touched empty air. There was a trace of surprise in his expression, and Lei Hong sneered, "Don't underestimate us Lei Clan Fort. The ones who understand you Tang people the most are us!" Lei Hong waved his Unfettered Fists and created a total of nine illusions, but only the last one was an actual fist.

He struck his fist right in front of Tang Qisha.

But just as Tang Qisha dodged, the other person also moved, and that was Tang Huang. The present head of the Tang Clan Outer School shot out a hidden weapon.

That hidden weapon looked like a piece of paper, flat, red and gorgeous!

"It's Yama’s Invitation!" Wen Liang exclaimed.

If Yama wanted you to die at the third watch, who dared to live until the fifth! In the Underworld, there were ten halls of Yama. In the Tang Clan, there were also ten pieces of Yama’s Invitations. As long as the Yama’s Invitation touches your flesh and blood, then the invitation will instantly break down, flow together with and against your blood, and enter straight into the heart.

Lei Hong struck out another palm, and smacked the oncoming Yama’s Invitation back with the wind from his palm.

Tang Xuan reached out to retract the Yama’s Invitation and immediately after that, he turned around and shouted, "Invitation, rise!" He raised his hands and five bright red invitations rose up beside him. Tang Qisha retreated to his side, and also shouted, "Rise!" Five more bright red Yama’s Invitations landed beside Tang Qisha.

Ten halls of Yama, ten Yama’s Invitations.

"We invite you to walk through the ten halls, do you think you can leave your soul in the human world?" Grandmaster Tang puffed on his pipe as he murmured softly.

"Run!" Wen Liang exclaimed.

Lei Hong shook his head, suddenly stretched out his right hand, and shouted out of the hall, "My disciple, give me the sword!"

His voice was loud and clear, travelling over a mile away.

Lei Wujie and the others who were about to arrive at Lei Clan Fort were shocked.

Tang Lian exclaimed, "This senior is so powerful that his voice can travel this far?"

"Shifu?" Lei Wujie exclaimed in shock. The Murderous Dread sword on his back vibrated with a cry, as if it was echoing that shout. "Could Lei Clan Fort be under attack?"

"Murderous Dread sword, come to me!" Lei Hong called again.

The Murderous Dread sword finally unsheathed itself and flew straight in the direction of Lei Clan Fort. Its power and momentum were swift and violent. A red light pierced the sky, and its sound was like the cry of a crane!

Although Tang Xuan and Tang Qisha didn't know what Lei Hong meant, they didn't dare to wait any longer. They reached out and shot out the ten Yama’s Invitations. Two ultimate Tang Clan masters, ten Yama’s Invitations, retreat was impossible, attack was also impossible. One could only die until you couldn’t die anymore.

But a red light beamed into the hall.

Grandmaster Tang put down his pipe and frowned slightly.

historical

The young disciple who was serving Grandmaster Tang was pleasantly surprised though.

A trace of panic pinched the hearts of Tang Xuan and Tang Qisha.

That red light fell into Lei Hong's hands, flashed once, and abruptly all ten Yama’s Invitations were stopped in their place.

Lei Hong struck with his sword. Lei Hong had a plain appearance and was not considered handsome, but this sword move was beautiful to the extreme. The red light was enchanting, alluring like an exotic beauty in a red dress dancing gracefully on a stage full of raining flowers. But it was also cruel to the extreme, as if under the beauty's red dress was a sharp blade, both dangerous and terrifying!

Of the five great sword immortals, the Solitary Sword Immortal’s sword was lonesome, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal’s sword was beautiful, the Daoist Sword Immortal’s sword was miraculous, the Confucian Sword Immortal’s sword was elegant, and the Wrath Sword Immortal’s sword was tyrannical. But this Lei Hong, who was about to rank himself amongst the sword immortals, his sword’s name was Murderous Dread sword, because his sword was.. terrifying!
