Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 113 Senior, my elder brother Xiao Feng is very suitable for you

"Little one, what kind of martial arts are you good at?"

"This junior prefers using a sword!"

"What sword?"

"The sword is me, and I am the sword."

"What a fine 'swordsman'!"

"Senior, you want to kill me?"

“The people Zhu Tiedan sent to test me will either kill me or be killed by me. You are so young and have so much time ahead of you. It’s such a pity.”

"What if I could defeat my senior?"

"That's what all these skeletons think."

"I am not a skeleton."

"That's arrogant enough, I like it!"

"Would you like a drink, senior?"

"You want to poison the drink?"

"What a disappointment! I thought the Undefeated Rascal was some kind of master, but it turns out he's just a lunatic who judges others by his own petty standards. Tsk tsk!"

"You bastard! Bring me the wine! If I don't drink all your wine today, I'm your son's slave!"

Gu Santong was furious.

Having been imprisoned for over twenty years, Gu Santong is no longer the invincible mischievous boy he once was; his temperament has changed considerably.

Li Zhaoting tossed over a small gourd.

Gu Santong opened the lid, sniffed, and smelled a strong aroma of wine and medicine. Li Zhaoting looked at him with a half-smile. Gu Santong opened his mouth, raised the gourd, and let the wine flow down his throat, looking like a charcoal seller. This way of drinking could easily cause choking, but the posture was very cool.

"Good wine! Good wine!"

Gu Santong laughed triumphantly.

He could sense that this was not poison, but a medicinal wine that nourished the body, containing many tonics that could nourish the internal organs and warm the meridians.

A warm current flowed through the eight extraordinary meridians, and the internal injury that had lingered for twenty years was gradually recovering.

"What do you mean?"

“Senior is seriously injured, and his internal injuries have caused him illness. If you fight like this, I will gain a huge advantage.”

"Kid, let me teach you a lesson. Young people should be full of vigor, but too much of that is arrogance. Confidence is a good thing, but arrogance is the worst thing."

"Senior, are you ready?"

"You strike first!"

"Please give me some guidance, senior."

Li Zhaoting reached out and grabbed a gleaming green sword. He casually swung it a couple of times to adjust its balance, then pointed the tip at Gu Santong's face.

Li Zhaoting didn't make a single move, but simply drew his sword. The simple gesture made Gu Santong feel like he was being pricked by thorns, and a stinging pain shot through his face.

What a sharp sword aura!

What a gifted young man!

He's even more handsome than I was when I was young!

Pah! Pah! Pah! I'm the most handsome one!
Gu Santong assumed a horse stance, raised his hands, and resembled a toad standing up. His powerful and surging true energy emanated from his acupoints, causing the chains to rattle.

"Crash! Crash!"

The chains binding their hands and feet were shattered by the ancient three-way tremor.

With Gu Santong's martial arts skills, he could have easily left the bottom of the prison and easily shattered his handcuffs and shackles, but he didn't do so because he was punishing himself.

In that duel, Gu Santong and Zhu Wushi were both severely injured and decided to settle the matter with a single move. Just as they were gathering their strength to unleash a powerful attack, Gu Santong's lifelong love stood in front of him and took the fatal blow for him.

This was the only time in Gu Santong's life that he regretted something.

He regretted being too engrossed in martial arts training when he was young, neglecting the deep affection of his beloved; he also regretted making enemies everywhere when he was young, which led to his infamous reputation and ultimately implicated his beloved.

What trapped Gu Santong was neither the prison nor handcuffs and shackles, but the demons within his own heart.

"laugh!"

Li Zhaoting swung his sword and stabbed Gu Santong in the abdomen.

"Wow!"

Gu Santong countered Li Zhaoting with his Eagle Claw Hand technique.

Eagle Claw is the most common claw technique in the martial arts world. It is a widely circulated and common technique. Many self-taught martial artists have become famous because they do not have profound secret manuals and have very few training resources. They can only choose a martial art with relatively high potential and devote resources to diligently study and practice it. Compared with Taizu Long Fist, Eagle Claw is more suitable for the requirements.

Gu Santong was proficient in the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, and his bones and muscles were tempered by true qi, making them far more resilient than ordinary people.

This simple grappling technique combines the swiftness and sharpness of an eagle's claws with the agility and versatility of a lark, the elegance and nobility of a peacock, and the aloofness and pride of a crane.

It's like integrating all kinds of birds into one!
It has become the king of birds, commanding all the flock!

Phoenix!

This claw technique, named "Phoenix Scattered Hands," is a marvelous claw technique created by Gu Santong, who integrated the essence of martial arts from all birds, with the eagle claw as its core.

With a raised hand and a flash, seemingly ordinary, he grabbed the wrist and ankle with a claw, dodged the sword energy and blade light with a flash, his defense was tight, and his figure was graceful. The dirty and smelly old man had a strange beauty.

Having been imprisoned for twenty years, Gu Santong had ample time to hone his martial arts skills, fusing all his life's knowledge into a single, exquisite technique that greatly impressed Li Zhaoting.

In terms of skill, Gu Santong's skill far surpasses Li Zhaoting's, because he also knows the Absorbing Skill, and all the masters that Zhu Wushi threw down were drained by him.

However, Gu Santong only fought with techniques and never overpowered others with his skills, yet he still managed to gain the upper hand.

"call!"

Gu Santong punched Li Zhaoting in the chest and abdomen.

The Great Vajra Fist!

The most powerful and fierce fist technique of Shaolin.

Monks who are proficient in this technique are extremely rare.

Li Zhaoting swung his sword upwards, aiming for his armpit, but Gu Santong calmly changed his move, kicking Li Zhaoting in the abdomen with a flying kick, his legs creating countless afterimages.

Legs that follow you like a shadow!
Li Zhaoting remained calm and retaliated with his sword.

Sword energies shot towards Gu Santong, and the sword and fist clashed wildly, exchanging blows hundreds of times in an instant.

"Senior, please show us your true skills!"

"I'm using my real skills!"

"No, no, your essence, energy, and spirit are unified, and your internal strength and martial arts are inseparable. In order to be fair, you deliberately suppressed your internal strength, which seriously affected the power of your martial arts."

"Aren't you afraid I'll beat you to death?"

"If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!"

"Then take this!"

Gu Santong roared to the sky, unleashing his full power, and smashed the sword in Li Zhaoting's hand with a punch. He thought that Li Zhaoting would be defeated because of this, or at least should retreat to deflect the force. Unexpectedly, Li Zhaoting took half a step forward, his five fingers like hooks, grabbing at Gu Santong's ear. The sword energy hissed. Gu Santong dodged the killing move with an iron bridge and took the opportunity to counterattack with a flying kick.

Thinking to himself, "This kid has some ruthless methods. It looks like he's attacking my ear with claws, but he's actually using sword energy to sneak up on me. If I hadn't turned my head in time, my head would have been sliced ​​into five pieces!"

Li Zhaoting made a hand seal with his left hand, using the Great Vajra Wheel Seal to enhance his fighting spirit, while his right middle finger pointed out sharply. The Six Meridians Divine Sword was indestructible, and the air exploded.

Gu Santong shouted "Good!" and went all out.

Having finally found a companion, Gu Santong did not want to kill Li Zhaoting so quickly, so he held back his strength. However, seeing that Li Zhaoting had a solid foundation and exquisite swordsmanship, he no longer held back in his attacks, and his moves were full of ingenious tricks.

The palm strike whistled, dispelling the foul air.

The force of the punch was overwhelming, leaving spiderweb-like cracks in the stone wall.

The sword's edge is sharp, and its energy is invincible.

The kicks are as swift as the wind, and the heavy kicks follow like a shadow.

Li Zhaoting amplified his fighting spirit with the Nine True Words and used the Six Meridians Divine Sword in turn. The sword energy was sometimes hard and sometimes soft, sometimes like a willow by the lake, and sometimes like a thousand-foot glacier.

The Six Meridian Divine Sword is a profound sword technique consisting of six paths. It uses the fingers instead of a sword, increasing the speed of the sword strike several times over. The six sword techniques cycle repeatedly, and the moves are exquisite and flawless.

"laugh!"

Li Zhaoting joined his index and middle fingers together to form a sword and slashed at Gu Santong's left shoulder. Gu Santong countered with a punch, and just as the two-finger fists were about to collide, a torrent of sword energy suddenly shot out from his fingertips. The surrounding air parted inch by inch, forming an arc shape, and the sword energy passed through the arc.

Gu Santong used five fingers to flick the strings in succession, using finger techniques to counterattack.

Gu Santong was proficient in at least one or two hundred martial arts techniques, and he knew almost all the unique skills of various major sects. He was even proficient in seven or eight evil sect mental techniques.

The fight between the two became increasingly fierce.

In his life, Li Zhaoting's opponents were either far superior to him or inferior in martial arts. He had not encountered a senior master who could unleash his full power for a long time.

Gu Santong was imprisoned for twenty years, and all the opponents he encountered were useless in his eyes. Only Li Zhaoting was worthy of his attention. Out of respect for martial artists, Gu Santong showed his true skills, except for the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

The Transformation ability of King Kong is too overpowered. Only in a life-or-death battle can one truly contend with it.

The two went all out, each displaying their unique skills.

Li Zhaoting's swordsmanship is divine, with endless variations, yet it retains both fierceness and gentleness.

The ancient three passages are expansive and powerful, embodying extreme yang and strength, yet within this yang strength lies yin gentleness, and within this yin gentleness lies hidden murderous intent.

Gu Santong's skill was profound, like a vast ocean. Although he was alone, he had the momentum of a thousand troops. His heavy punches and kicks were more intense than the drumbeats on a battlefield.

Li Zhaoting's skill was pure and refined, like a bamboo grove in a secluded valley. No matter how powerful and fierce Gu Santong was, or how varied his moves were, he could break through any technique with his sword.

The way of the swordsman is to break through all laws with a single sword.

Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand, broken!
Shaolin Mount Sumeru Palm, break!

Wudang's Flowing Clouds Flying Sleeves, break!

Wudang Nine Palaces Divine Palm, broken!
Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break!
Only one of the Six Meridians Divine Sword techniques remains.

No matter how many techniques one employs, they cannot overcome the insurmountable barrier of sword energy.

Li Zhaoting placed two fingers horizontally in front of his chest, entering a state of oneness with nature, sensing changes in the flow of energy, listening to the howling wind, and comprehending deadly threats. He then used his two fingers to strike, each move aimed at the vital points.

This is not the Dugu Nine Swords.

Because Li Zhaoting only used one sword strike.

"Swish swish swish!"

Streams of sword energy surged from the acupoints in his arm. As Li Zhaoting pulled his wrist, the sword energy was bound into thin threads, twisted into a long whip of sword energy, just like pulling noodles.

"Snapped!"

A loud crack of whips echoed through the air.

The sword's edge, like a dragon's tail, swirled and attacked from behind.

Gu Santong felt completely overwhelmed!

Li Zhaoting's resilience exceeded his expectations.

Throughout the fierce battle, Gu Santong has repeatedly cornered Li Zhaoting, leaving him with only the option of exchanging blows. Li Zhaoting always manages to come up with unexpected counterattacks. No matter how perilous the situation, even if Gu Santong's heavy punch is only three inches from his forehead, he can still muster the will to fight.

Acala Mudra!
Great Vajra Wheel Seal!
Outer Lion Seal!

The Nine Syllable Mantra hand seal is used cyclically, continuously stimulating the body's potential with the help of the pressure from the ancient Three Passages.

Li Zhaoting is like a spring; the greater the pressure Gu Santong applies, the stronger the counterattack becomes. He is also like a sponge, constantly absorbing martial arts knowledge. Li Zhaoting has learned most of Gu Santong's martial arts insights.

This "learning" is done unconsciously.

Li Zhaoting's mind went completely blank, entering a state of complete enlightenment where he had no thoughts other than defending against enemies, and his sword energy became increasingly refined and condensed.

"Good lad, take this!"

Gu Santong threw a punch at Li Zhaoting's chest and abdomen, his arm turning golden and his power increasing several times over.

Invincible Vajra Divine Skill - Partial Transformation!

The Vajra Transformation puts a tremendous strain on the body. Gu Santong's body was completely ruined, and he was unable to fully utilize the mental technique. He could only simplify the technique and allow some of his limbs to transform.

For example: Vajra Leg, Vajra Hand, Iron Head Kung Fu!

These body-tempering methods also exist in the Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Golden Bell Cover Technique, but compared with the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, their power is several times weaker, and they can only be used as basic martial arts.

Li Zhaoting simultaneously unleashed sword energy from both hands.

The sword energy in the left hand is extremely yang and strong; from the extreme of yang, yin arises.

The sword energy in the right hand is extremely yin and gentle, from which yang arises.

The sword energy, transforming between yin and yang, intertwined to form a cyclical Tai Chi diagram. Then, with a flash of movement and the surrounding Buddhist light shimmering, he narrowly avoided the punch.

Tai Chi Swordplay!

Bodhidharma Swordplay!

The Bodhidharma Swordplay is not a swordplay for killing people; it contains many unorthodox and strange moves for dodging, deflecting force, and grappling.

It's not suitable for dealing with others, but it's perfect for dealing with Gu Santong, who is highly skilled in martial arts.

Gu Santong roared and threw another punch.

Li Zhaoting transformed Yin and Yang, releasing his energy once again.

Unbeknownst to them, the two had exchanged a thousand moves in the dimly lit cell. Gu Santong was panting heavily, while Li Zhaoting had white mist rising from his head, his power severely depleted. Even with the restorative power of the Longevity Mantra, he felt a deficit.

Exhaustion pulled Li Zhaoting out of his state of enlightenment.

Just then, Gu Santong unleashed a powerful punch.

Li Zhaoting awoke from his sudden enlightenment and subconsciously used his ultimate move, a powerful clash that sent a thunderous boom through the cell. Using the force of the impact, Li Zhaoting retreated and returned to the cell along the path he had come from.

Gu Santong did not pursue them.

He looked down at the back of his hand.

There was a very obvious scar there.

This kid's swordsmanship is truly amazing!
Hopefully he'll still have energy tomorrow night.

Gu Santong lay on the stone bed and fell into a deep sleep.

As soon as Li Zhaoting returned to his cell, he immediately took out a spiritual medicine from his sleeve. This was a elixir made from the spiritual medicine given to him by Duan Zhengming, specifically for restoring one's condition.

Some elixirs can restore blood circulation.

Some elixirs are used to restore mana.

Li Zhaoting's elixir can restore both health and mana.

With so many precious medicinal herbs, plus the medical skills passed down through generations in the Miao tribes, if Lan Fenghuang couldn't concoct a miraculous medicine that could restore health and mana, she would probably be ashamed to death.

After taking the pill, Li Zhaoting used the healing secrets taught by the man in black, and the meridian damage caused by his fierce battle with Gu Santong was visibly and rapidly healed.

When the sun rose, Li Zhaoting had fully recovered and felt like he could eat a whole cow.

The jailer was very polite to Li Zhaoting.

Li Zhaoting gave an order, and immediately they brought over flatbread wrapped with donkey meat, mung bean porridge, and pickled vegetables. Li Zhaoting ate three catties of donkey meat in a row and then let out a satisfied burp.

night.

Li Zhaoting is taking on the challenge of the ancient three-way connection once again.

This time, there was not only wine, but also mutton flatbread.

Gu Santong wolfed down his food, then sparred with Li Zhaoting. After exchanging more than a thousand blows, Li Zhaoting and Gu Santong stopped at the same time to discuss their insights into martial arts.

"Boy, are you really sent by Zhu Tiedan to test my martial arts skills? I don't think so."

"I was locked up here by Zhu Wushi. I stumbled upon you, senior, and couldn't resist wanting to fight. Senior, don't be so smug. You're even less likely to resist than I am."

"I understand. You want to learn my 'Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill,' right? Do you want to learn it?"

"If I said I didn't want to, it would be a lie. But I am not suited to this divine skill. Forcing myself to learn it would only bring trouble. I have a sworn brother who is bold and magnanimous, and he is very suitable to be your successor."

"Tell me about his deeds."

"His name is Xiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect..."

Li Zhaoting briefly recounts a series of events related to Xiao Feng.

Compared to the complete version of the Transformation of King Kong, Li Zhaoting prefers Gu Santong's partial transformation method.

Only a super-powerful person like Xiao Feng, a berserker who gets stronger the more he loses health, can unleash the original power.

"Is everything you said true?"

“If I’m not mistaken, my older brother will be coming to see me tomorrow at noon. I can bring him to meet you.”

"can!"

Gu Santong nodded vigorously.

Twenty years of hidden injuries cannot be cured by a mere pot of medicinal wine. Gu Santong's meridians are hardened, and his body suffers from the five strains and seven injuries. He can only last for a little over half a year at most.

Rather than clinging to martial arts manuals, it's better to find a genius successor before death arrives.

Xiao Feng is also good.

Li Zhaoting it is.

As long as it's not Zhu Wushi, it's fine.

There's nothing to criticize about a dying person.

Gu Santong composed himself and gave Li Zhaoting a brief explanation of the characteristics of various martial arts schools. He then personally guided Li Zhaoting to perfect his swordsmanship, passing on all his martial arts knowledge.

Before we knew it, the night had ended and dawn had broken.
