I Have A Martial Dao World

Just when Lu Yao seemed to be showered with unexpected good fortune, far in the north, within the boundaries of Longgang County in Xingzhou.

Fu Fangsheng stood on the mountainside, encircled tightly by 15 martial artists, with no chance of escape.

Yet he seemed to be oblivious to the attackers surrounding him, gazing into the distance at a monastery that seemed to be styled like a medieval castle.

At that moment, a martial artist dressed like a wealthy merchant stepped forward, full of pride and said,

"Grandmaster Fu, it's been a long time. We, brothers, have been searching for you for a month, and today we have finally caught you!"

The man had an exceptionally thick neck and bore a gigantic Horse-Slaying Saber on his shoulder.

"Ba Dao Sect's Liu Hu..."

Fu Fangsheng turned his head to look at him, indifferently said, "As a local sect of Xingzhou, your Ba Dao Sect should be aware of the strangeness of this monastery.

Why would you be complicit with them? Seizing farmlands is one thing, but small children have been going missing nearby. How can you also be involved in such heinous acts?"

Liu Hu raised his Horse-Slaying Saber with a "weng" sound: "Cut the crap, we'll settle this with our martial skills today!"

He then shouted towards his fellow sect members, "This man is a major criminal wanted by the Imperial Court, repeatedly guilty of murder. There's no need to speak of chivalry with such a person; let's take him down together!"

The members of the Ba Dao Sect echoed the call with shouts and yells, greed written all over their faces as they stared at Fu Fangsheng.

This man had somehow gone mad, demolishing churches of the Western Religion recently, with a bounty of over 3000 taels of silver on his head!

If they killed him, it would be an enormous fortune!

Liu Hu didn't waste more words, merging with his saber he attacked, the Horse-Slaying Saber cutting through the air at high speed, blurring around its edges.

But in the next second, Fu Fangsheng transformed into a black shadow that passed by Liu Hu first despite starting later.

Liu Hu felt a chill in his chest, followed by a sudden lack of strength in his whole body as he fell to his knees. Looking down—he saw a bloody hole in his chest.

As it turned out, Fu Fangsheng had forcefully removed his beating heart!

"Your heart isn't black, is it?"

"Give it back to me..." Liu Hu slowly stood up, reaching toward his own heart.

Being in the Blood-Exchange Realm, he could live for a while even without a heart.

But Fu Fangsheng suddenly clenched his hand, and the heart burst, Liu Hu fell to the ground in despair.

The members of the Ba Dao Sect who witnessed this scene retreated in horror, utterly dismayed: "Innate Realm... you are an Innate Grandmaster!"

Fu Fangsheng picked up Liu Hu's Horse-Slaying Saber and said, "I just broke through and have been stabilizing my realm for a month."

The crowd immediately knelt and kowtowed, "There's mercy, Grandmaster Fu, spare us! It has nothing to do with us. It was all Liu Hu's doing..."

But before they could finish, they were engulfed by a sky full of saber light, and a terrible whistling sound filled the air.

After a few brief screams, the ground was littered with countless severed corpses, and the blood slowly spread across the soil.

Fu Fangsheng put his fingers to his lips and let out a loud whistle.

Soon after, people started emerging from the woods behind him.

More and more people gathered, from all walks of life, with the lowest realm being only Sinew-Strengthening, and their attire varied wildly.

Seeing the members of the Ba Dao Sect dead, they appeared overjoyed, chatting excitedly,

"Grandmaster Fu, we, the local martial artists of Xingzhou, all look up to you. Please eliminate this den of evil!"

"This damned monastery has seized our ancestral farmland. Today, I will fight them to the end!"

"Right! Let's fight them! Damn Western demon beasts, trying to take over the public orphanage we are building!"

Amidst the rising fury of the crowd, Fu Fangsheng raised his saber towards the monastery on the hill and shouted, "Gentlemen, follow me to slaughter the demons."

Upon saying this, he was the first to charge towards the monastery! The crowd roared in unison, following closely behind.

Soon, the sounds of gunfire were continuous, and the cries of battle shook the heavens!

Before long, the majestic monastery was engulfed in a raging inferno.

Numerous reporters, with their cameras large and small, hustled to capture the scene, ensuring that the story made the headlines immediately.

~~~~~~~~~

Lu Yao received the news on the second day.

[Xingzhou Church destroyed, a total of 35 priests, clergy, and nuns killed]

[Fury against foreign demons—Righteous people demolish the den of evil, slaying 35 demon beasts, rescuing over 40 innocent children]

These were two different takes on the same news by two newspapers.

Fu Fangsheng had advanced to the Innate Realm and was making bigger moves.

In recent days, he had already destroyed three churches, each time with overwhelming support.

These Western Religion churches conspired with scoundrels to commit atrocities, seizing land, dominating property, and violating women.

The missionaries not only turned a blind eye to such misdeeds among their flock but even actively sheltered and encouraged them to provoke the authorities and create disturbances, aiming to undermine the Imperial Court's authority and establish the Church's prestige.

All these actions had long aroused extreme disgust and public outrage.

Furthermore, many churches were like the Sacred Heart Institute—engaged in abominable practices such as trafficking children!

The public resentment against Westerners and the Western Religion had reached its limit.

The actions of Fu Fangsheng were like wildfire spreading through the land, stirring a tide of "kill the foreigners, eliminate the demons" throughout the entire region of Jiangnan.

Lu Yao put down the newspaper and stretched his body vigorously.

The continuous intense training was slightly irritating, as he still hadn't achieved Tri-Cultivation.

The three girls were frolicking by the lake, occasionally flushing with embarrassment and stealing glances at him, seemingly up to something.

"Might as well make good use of this idle time, since the energy of the Star Key is full, I'll head back to Blue Star to collect some treasures, and change my mood in the process," he thought.

After telling the girls, Lu Yao left with Ping An, leaving the other two Spiritual Sparrowhawks at home in case of need.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Blue Star, high above the Ryukyu Islands, Lu Yao rode atop Ping An and revealed himself.

Ping An spread his wings, smoothly gliding on the rising air currents.

"Last time I was piloting a plane heading east, now I am right over the Pacific Ocean," he thought.

The endless blue sea below was always a mood lifter.

Lu Yao quickly determined his direction with the help of the sun and was about to instruct the Spiritual Sparrowhawk to turn around when, looking at the vast ocean beneath him, he suddenly thought:

"Now I have planes, tanks, artillery—I have assets for land and air, but... I don't have a ship!"

Lu Yao suddenly realized that he had always overlooked the importance of "ships".

The future was uncertain, and there could very well be a need for ships.

It may not be necessary now, but it's essential to have one just in case, so Lu Yao immediately thought about getting a battleship for himself.

"It's impossible to buy one, even if I could afford it, a battleship costs billions—it's too expensive."

"So, I need to find sponsorship from the Star Alliance Country!"

"But here comes the problem—while I could steal a plane, there is no way to sneak out a slow ship from a military port, only a Space-Time Bubble could do the job..."

"But I don't want to reveal my big secret, so..."

At that moment, Lu Yao suddenly turned his gaze towards the Hawaiian Islands.

The Star Alliance Country's Missouri Battleship was stationed there, a sea fortress with a displacement of over 40,000 tons!

And since it was a decommissioned battleship, it wasn't closely watched, yet it was maintained very well!

Lu Yao patted Ping An's rump, "Full speed flight!"

With a screech, Ping An flapped his wings powerfully, causing a torrent of turbulent airflow.
