Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 131 Duan Zhengchun: As expected of my personal disciple

"I don't have any money on me!"

Li Zhaoting glanced sideways at the embroidered shoes.

It's a pity, it would have been so much better if it had been red-soled black high heels.

"Where are your eyes looking? Li Zhaoting, you really have some nerve. Even in this state, you're still thinking about flirting. Do you really want to die under the peony flower?"

"Your shoes are beautiful."

"You have three sentences to convince me."

“Miss Li, we’re so familiar with each other, could you give me a chance to save my life by spending money? I swear, I can give you wealth no less than the treasure vault of the evil god.”

"What kind of wealth does the Evil God's Treasury have?! Ancient Sword Soul is so poor he's begging for food, where would he get any treasure trove?"

"Do you remember the underground palace we just visited?"

"I can explore it myself."

"Do you understand mechanical arts? Do you know that all underground palaces have self-destruct mechanisms? If you rashly break in and trigger the self-destruct mechanism of the underground palace, the entire mountain will be crushed down. Even if you are a tyrant, you will be crushed into dumpling filling."

At this point, Li Zhaoting raised his eyebrows: "If the two of us could become the same dumpling filling, I certainly wouldn't have any objections, but Miss Li would most likely not."

Li Shengnan angrily retorted, "Li Zhaoting, believe me or not, I'll turn you into dumpling filling right now! You're so outspoken, where did you learn that from? Can't you be normal for once?"

"Duan Zhengchun, the Prince of Zhennan in Dali".

"The number one playboy in the martial arts world? It is said that if any girl in the martial arts world aged sixteen to twenty-two does not know who her biological father is, she can suspect Duan Zhengchun."

"It shouldn't be that exaggerated."

Do you know Duan Zhengchun's daughter?

"My elder brother Xiao Feng has recently been blessed with love, meeting his destined love, A Zhu. A Zhu has no father or mother, no relatives or friends, and she is Duan Zhengchun's daughter."

"Duan Zhengchun is truly blessed!"

"I am learning from Duan Zhengchun!"

"Damn it! I'm going to rid the world of this scourge!"

Li Shengnan carried Li Zhaoting to the underground palace.

Li Zhaoting is right. Exploring the underground palace rashly could result in being buried alive. We must find an expert to guide us.

Li Zhaoting is an expert in government affairs.

Li Shengnan thought for a moment, then took out a bottle of fragrant pills from her bosom and poured them into Li Zhaoting's mouth: "This is a secret healing medicine from the Holy Sect. You owe me a favor."

"Miss Li has probably miscalculated."

"What do you mean?"

Only the living can repay debts.

"so what?"

"You must guarantee my survival. In order to live a long time, I will definitely renege on my promise. Once I've swallowed the elixir, I certainly won't be able to spit it out."

"You help me kill two people. You don't need to kill them yourself. Just help me find clues and stop the others when I make my move."

"Meng Shentong and Ximen Muye?"

"They deserve to die!"

Li Shengnan exerted a slight force on her arm.

Li Zhaoting could feel her muscles tense, clearly furious. He gently comforted her, "A life for a life, a debt for a debt, that's only right and proper."

The ancestor of the Li family was named Li Kangtian, who was the disciple of the great demon Qiao Beiming. One hundred and fifty years ago, Qiao Beiming was invincible with his Asura Yin Sha Gong, until he met Zhang Danfeng, the founder of the Tianshan Sect. He was completely crushed by Zhang Danfeng and could only fake his death to escape.

Qiao Beiming left the Central Plains and went overseas to study martial arts on an island until his lifespan was exhausted. He still couldn't come up with a way to defeat Zhang Danfeng head-on.

Li Kangtian inherited the Asura Yin Sha Technique and established a family and business in northern Shaanxi, becoming quite famous in the area.

Before Li Shengnan was born, Meng Shentong and Ximen Muye joined forces to kill the entire Li family in order to seize the Shura Yinsha Technique. Li Shengnan's father fought desperately, and Li Shengnan's mother fled with her big belly, hoping to give birth to a son to avenge her, but unexpectedly gave birth to a daughter.

Therefore, her mother named her "Shengnan".

By chance, Yu Luosha, the leader of the Demonic Sect, encountered Li Shengnan as a child. She discovered that Li Shengnan had extraordinary talent and a strong will, which perfectly matched the Demonic Sect's doctrine. She brought Li Shengnan back to the Demonic Sect, and after many competitions, Li Shengnan became the Holy Maiden.

The Holy Maiden holds a high position in the Demonic Sect, and no one except the sect leader can command her. However, she does not actually wield much power. Furthermore, Jade Rakshasa has established a rule: if Li Shengnan wants revenge, she must use her own strength. The Demonic Sect will only provide intelligence, not military support.

Li Shengnan had no objection to this.

In Li Shengnan's opinion, if she could not defeat Meng Shentong and Ximen Muye even after more than ten years of hard training under the tutelage of the Demonic Sect leader, she might as well just die!
These two enemies are not easy to deal with.

If we were to rank the villains in Liang's faction, Qiao Beiming would be number one, and Meng Shentong would be number two.

Ximen Muye is a master of poisons, with unparalleled skill in using poisons. He was fortunate enough to obtain the Blood-Melting Blade and Bone-Corroding Palm left behind by Sanhe Yishi, and his whole body is covered in poison.

It's very difficult to kill both of them.

If you want to find the easiest one to kill.

Li Zhaoting cast his vote for Meng Shentong.

The Asura Yin Sha Gong is the strongest villainous martial art in Liang Yusheng's novels. It was used from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and villains throughout the ages used it to fight against various protagonists, achieving terrifying results.

The two powerful figures in Liang Yusheng's novels, Da Wang and Xiao Wang, Zhang Danfeng and Jin Shiyi, all suffered great losses.

However, the Asura Yin Sha Technique is too extreme. After reaching the seventh level, it begins to backfire, posing a risk of qi deviation. Reaching the eighth level puts one only one step away from qi deviation, with the meridians potentially ruptured at any moment.

No one has ever succeeded in breaking through the Nine Heavens through arduous cultivation. Even someone as powerful as Qiao Beiming needed authentic mental techniques to harmonize his evil energy and achieve "unity of good and evil".

At this time, Meng Shentong's cultivation level was around the seventh or eighth level, far from reaching its limit.

Li Zhaoting gently comforted Li Shengnan, explaining that the Asura Yin Sha Gong was difficult to practice and could easily suffer backlash.

Li Shengnan sneered, "If all I think about is my enemy failing to master martial arts and going mad, what's the point of practicing martial arts? I might as well go burn incense and pray to Buddha."

"The Asura Yin Sha Technique is indeed very difficult to master."

“I heard that back then, Master Qiao Beiming knew he was no match for Zhang Danfeng, so he faked his death and escaped, leaving behind a legacy overseas. I want to set sail to find that legacy. After all, he is my family’s ancestor.”

You might be disappointed.

"You don't think I can find the legacy?"

"You definitely can!" Li Zhaoting hastily covered up the truth.

In that duel back then, Zhang Danfeng allowed Qiao Beiming to recover his strength and even gave him healing pills. When Qiao Beiming was in his best condition, Zhang Danfeng defeated him in the area where Qiao Beiming was most skilled, causing Qiao Beiming to mentally collapse. He pondered for decades, only able to come up with cheating tricks.

In order to defeat Zhang Danfeng's successor, Qiao Beiming left three "miracle moves" for his future disciples.

First, forge an unparalleled divine sword to cut through the opponent's weapon during a sword fight, thereby gaining the upper hand.

Second, craft a protective armor to risk your life in a duel and withstand the opponent's powerful attacks.

Third, forge a super-strong bow, compete with your opponent in concealed weapon techniques, and use this strong bow to snipe your opponent.

In Qiao Beiming's view, it was impossible to defeat Zhang Danfeng in martial arts competition. The only way for his successor to defeat Zhang Danfeng's successor was to overwhelm him with superior equipment.

Is this a "brilliant move" from a martial arts grandmaster?
This is clearly cheating!
The Tianshan Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect, possessing several swords capable of cutting through iron like mud. The two divine swords Zhang Danfeng used when traveling the martial world were both top-tier divine weapons.

Protective armor, who doesn't have one!
The most reliable method is to snipe from a distance using a bow and arrow.

This really works!

Because of the immense power of the bow and arrow, Jin Yong forcibly bestowed a title upon Guo Jing, saying that with Guo Jing's archery skills, if he were to unleash his full power, none of the Five Greats would stand a chance.

There was even a saying on the forums of the past: if Guo Jing had brought a strong bow when he first entered the Central Plains, with the mobility of his little red horse and the two eagles, he would have been at the level of the Five Greats when he appeared!
Li Zhaoting's mind was filled with random thoughts, and he tried various ways to comfort Li Shengnan. Li Shengnan found it annoying and put Li Zhaoting down, saying, "Go by yourself!"

Li Zhaoting looked down at the lasso.

Li Shengnan waved her hand and put the lasso away.

"Li Zhaoting, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll take this opportunity to kill you?"

"To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is to be romantic!"

"I don't deserve your trust."

"I am willing."

Li Zhaoting's words were very sincere.

Li Shengnan sighed, "I really don't understand. Are you a romantic rogue or a chivalrous knight-errant? Every time I see you, I'm at a loss for words."

"Because I'm too handsome!"

Li Zhaoting's lips curled up slightly.

Li Shengnan's forehead creased into a "well" shape.

That bastard is such a spoilsport!
The entrance to the underground palace was blocked by a huge rock. Li Zhaoting was seriously injured and could only let Li Shengnan move the rocks.

Li Zhaoting sat to one side, acting as the foreman.

"There's a technique to moving stones..."

"Shut up!"

Li Shengnan gritted her teeth and spoke slowly and deliberately.

It's impossible to shut Li Zhaoting up.

Li Shengnan needs Li Zhaoting's guidance on mechanical arts.

The entrance to the underground palace is the Dragon-Slaying Stone, which was originally a mechanism to seal off the underground palace. It was accidentally triggered by the Ancient Sword Soul. To enter the underground palace, a tunnel needs to be dug.

Li Shengnan dug with great effort.

Li Zhaoting served as the supervisor.

After clearing the path, Li Zhaoting went in first, followed closely by Li Shengnan, who blocked the entrance with stones.

The underground palace contains candles, oil lamps, and pearls, and has special ventilation holes, ensuring excellent air circulation.

The room was filled with corpses lying haphazardly.

When Gu Jianhun entered the underground palace, his muddled mind recalled his experience of searching for the secret manual. He subconsciously felt that this was the tomb of the Ji brothers, and that the people inside were competing with him for the manual, so he ruthlessly killed them all.

Of course, it makes no difference whether you live or die!
To die beneath a peony blossom is to die a romantic death!
This statement is subject to certain conditions.

Xiao Mimi is undoubtedly a stunning beauty. Since her debut, she has seduced more than 300 men. Her skills are unparalleled, and she can bring endless pleasure to men. In their hedonistic lives, they are drained of their bodies by Xiao Mimi and become completely useless.

Most of the men in the underground palace were useless, even worse than eunuchs. Eunuchs were crippled, but at least they had strong bodies, while their bodies had long been ruined.

For these people, death is not something to fear or suffer, but rather a relief.

Are there people worse off than these?

Of course!
In the martial arts world, two women who liked to keep male concubines were Xiao Mimi and Li Qiushui. Although they were both used and then discarded, at least they were both beauties.

The last one is... the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva.

A super fat pig weighing half a ton.

Seduced by Xiao Mimi and Li Qiushui, he enjoyed at least a period of pleasure and was able to indulge in romance before his death.

Being captured by the Great Joyful Bodhisattva is a nightmare more terrifying than the Ministry of Justice's Heavenly Prison. Even if Zhou Xing were reborn or Lai Junchen were reincarnated, the thought of it would make them vomit.

Li Zhaoting examined the surrounding architectural layout, analyzed the mechanism arrangement, and quickly deduced the location of the treasure vault.

"Are your calculations accurate?"

"How dare you question the commoner-robed divine physician?"

"What? A commoner-robed diviner? You? Li Zhaoting? I remember you as the Black and White Impermanence, and the Jiazi Tai Sui!"

Li Shengnan's words slammed Li Zhaoting into oblivion.

Li Zhaoting fell into complete despair.

The atmosphere became somber, and it was chilly all around.

Li Shengnan tightened her clothes.

Li Zhaoting, so you do have a nemesis too!
