Chapter 968:
Chi Yous massive body fell to the ground. A man who couldnt even be killed by the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, was now slain by a single slap from Robb.
A surge of dark demon energy burst forth from his body, scattering in all directions before dissipating into the air.
Robb looked up at the sky, pondering what this demon energy was all about. Suddenly, he heard ecstatic shouts from the side: Hahaha! Hahaha! I Ive regained my human head! Im back, hahaha!
Turning his head, Robb saw a kind-faced elderly monk jumping around beside a pond. Recognizing the monks attire, Robb realized this was the Shaolin monk, the bald rabbit. Now that he had regained his human form, Robb could finally discern that the monk was in his sixties. His benevolent appearance was quite pleasing, and his bald head even more so.
Another figure burst out from the side, exclaiming, Hahaha, Ive regained my form too!
This was a Taoist priest from Wudang. He now appeared wise and dignified, his Taoist topknot finally free from the rabbit ears that had made him look like he had a trident on his head.
However, the elder from the Beggars Sect still looked miserable. As Robb had predicted, even though the rabbit fur was no longer matted and dirty, the elders hair was still a mess, sticking together like a dirty rag. It seemed his situation hadnt improved much.
In any case, the ten martial arts masters from various righteous sects were overjoyed, hopping, skipping, and singing.
Seeing their jubilant behavior, Robb suddenly remembered the group of female rabbits. What did they look like now?
Before this thought, he hadnt been curious, but now he couldnt help but wonder.
He quickly turned his head to look. Dozens of female rabbits were all standing still, but as he looked over, he couldnt see a single face. It turned out that the moment they transformed back into humans, they had simultaneously pulled out bronze mirrors from their bags to check their appearances. So, when Robb turned to look, all he saw were the backs of dozens of bronze mirrors, each perfectly blocking a face.
Robb was dumbfounded, Are you kidding me? You pulled out mirrors that quickly?
Of course, we have to be quick. What if we turned ugly? Shisu was the first to put down her mirror, revealing her face.
Robb took a closer look and was surprised to find a stunning beauty. Her face combined the gentleness of a southern belle with the determination of a martial arts heroine. These conflicting qualities gave her a striking, contrasting beauty. If she were in the modern era, she would undoubtedly be a top-tier actressand one who hadnt undergone any plastic surgery at that.
Wow! Robb couldnt help but exclaim, Not bad, not bad. You finally look presentable.
Really? Do I look good? Shisu was delighted, I think I look pretty good too.
Robb was puzzled, Werent you unable to distinguish human faces, only recognizing rabbits?
That must have been the power of Chi Yous curse. Once the curse was lifted, I could see human faces again, Shisu explained. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she added softly, Now that I can see you clearly, I realize youre quite handsome.
Robb was thrilled, Right, last time when I resurrected all your sect members, you tried to kiss me but I pushed you away. Can we make up for that now?
Hmph! Dont even think about it. You missed your chance, Shisu chuckled and took a few steps back.
At this moment, the daughter of the Flying Eagle Sect leader also put down her bronze mirror, revealing a face as beautiful as a flower. The female leader of the Blood Hand Sect also showed her face, a captivating mature beauty
Robb looked left and right, and couldnt help but be delighted, Yo, yo, yo, it turns out youre all beauties! No wonder your sect leaders, masters, and fathers were so anxious when I took you hostage. They were afraid Id do something terrible to you.
Now that the women had regained their human faces and found they were still beautiful, their worries had dissipated. They were now more relaxed and said, To ease their concerns, we should probably head back.
Hold on! Robb said earnestly, None of you are allowed to leave. Dont forget youre my hostages. Hehehe Now, your real hostage life begins. Anyone who disobeys me will be severely punished. I mean it this time.
The women collectively rolled their eyes at him, As if were scared. Youre not that kind of person.
I can be very twisted!
Stop pretending, you dont look the part.
Robb realized his threats were ineffective. Ah, right! When a handsome guy like him says such things to women, its usually taken as a joke rather than a real threat. And he happened to be a very handsome guy.
He dramatically fell to the ground, lamenting, Being handsome is also a curse, it seems.
Half an hour later, everyone set off for home. Along the way, all the rabbit people they encountered had regained their human heads.
Many ordinary people were initially bewildered by their sudden transformation, but they quickly realized that some hero must have defeated Chi You. Everyone was overjoyed.
Robb and his companions made their way from the mountains back to East Hangzhou in the southeast. Every city they passed through was in the midst of wild celebrations. People were singing and dancing, overjoyed to have regained their true identities as descendants of the Yellow emperor.
The most interesting part was that people didnt lose recognition of their friends and family when they regained their human faces. The lifting of the curse also altered their corresponding recognition abilities. They could identify their loved ones and discern the beauty, ugliness, and expressions of human faces. All communication barriers ceased to exist.
After returning to East Hangzhou, the women from the villainous sects bid farewell to Robb and returned to their respective factions. They informed their sect members about what they had witnessed on the journey. Subsequently, these villainous sects obediently sent over their Xuanyuan Black Iron ores to Robb.
They had come to understand a principle through the womens accounts: even if they wielded the Xuanyuan Sword, they were no match for Robb. A weapon is just a weapon; the true power lies in the person wielding it. If they didnt willingly hand over the Xuanyuan Black ores, and Robb decided to take matters into his own hands, no one could withstand even a single move from him. Given this, it was better to willingly give up their treasures than to invite trouble upon themselves.
The martial arts upheaval caused by the Xuanyuan Black Iron finally came to an end.
Big Tang officially changed its name to Heavenly Big Tang. The government and the martial arts community united in earnest to deal with the ghost invaders
