Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 153 The Number One Cool King in the Martial Arts World!

Yang Huyun's prayers had an effect.

While resting that night, the two knights who had been scouting ahead, Yin Jiu and Fang Shi, brought good news: Prefect Feng Shaoqing of Hangzhou had sent his son-in-law, Li Zhaoting, to meet them.

Upon hearing this news, everyone in the escort agency breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Huyun's cunning, which had just been suppressed by Evil Dragon Valley, immediately resurfaced.

Some say Li Zhaoting is fiercely opposed to evil, some say he is cursed by fate, and some say he is the reincarnation of the Jiazi Tai Sui. Regardless of the rumors, whether praising or belittling, one thing remains undeniable:

—Li Zhaoting's martial arts skills are extremely high!

Since his debut, he has vanquished countless demons with his sword, never suffering a defeat.

Even the Fire Cloud Evil God Gu Jianhun, who wreaked havoc in the martial arts world twenty years ago, was captured alive by Li Zhaoting.

In the previous case of the Great Bamboo Robbery, Li Zhaoting and Ye Gucheng had a sword duel in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, which resulted in the demolition of half of the mansion. The sound of their swords clashing could be heard throughout half of the capital.

Li Zhaoting's martial arts level may not be very high, but no one can deny his offensive capabilities.

They are particularly skilled at demolishing houses and destroying the ground.

News has just come in that Li Zhaoting wiped out the Chess Immortal Sect on his way to Quzhou, burning it to the ground and killing all five elders of the Wen family.

Seeing the relaxed expressions of the bodyguards, a young swordsman was quite unconvinced. His name was Li Qingming, the nephew of the sword master Li Guanyu. He had been learning swordsmanship since childhood and was quite famous in the martial arts world. He was a rising star in the martial arts world, and in terms of the time of his debut, he was earlier than Li Zhaoting.

Li Qingming drank a cup of wine: "I learned internal strength before I learned to walk. It took me more than 20 years of hard training to acquire martial arts skills. What Li Zhaoting can do, I can also do. I want to see what he can do."

Li Qingming's fiancée, Leng Feng, advised: "Don't be angry now. Escorting the funds for river repair is the most important thing. First, deliver the silver to Hangzhou, and then it's up to you."

"Of course I know what's important, but I just can't stand the attitude of those bodyguards. They were scared to death just now, but when they heard that Li Zhaoting was coming, they were all all smiles. Is Li Zhaoting that strong? How many bandits did he kill?"

"Uh...it's too many to count..."

Leng Feng swallowed hard and shivered.

You can compare yourself to Li Zhaoting in anything, but never in who has killed more notorious bandits. Except for constables like the Four Great Constables, who are just doing their job, Li Zhaoting completely crushes them all. Li Qingming has killed only a fraction of the number of bandits Li Zhaoting has killed.

Li Qingming realized he had spoken out of turn, so he drank a cup of wine, only to find it was vinegar. Leng Feng laughed and said, "Drinking is strictly forbidden when you're out escorting goods. Drinking a cup is an exception to the law."

"Who made the rules?"

"This was decided by the old man. Here, this is the ruler he gave me. Seeing the ruler is like seeing the old man. If you are not satisfied, go home and talk to the old man."

"My uncle is getting senile!"

Li Qingming pursed his lips and drank a cup of tea!
"Old Master" is Li Guanyu, the person Li Qingming fears most in his life. He only dares to complain about him in private, but dares not break the agreement, especially not the ruler.

Martial arts training requires meticulous foundation building.

When he was a child, Li Qingming was mischievous and tried to take shortcuts when practicing martial arts. He was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed. After this lesson, he never dared to try to be clever again.

……

"Li Zhaoting is here to pick up the goods. Damn it, why is he everywhere? What's wrong with this kid? Why does he like to meddle in other people's business? Why don't you go and carry some manure?"

Golden-Armed Boy slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Tie Yisheng, the third leader of Seven Kill Valley, said, "Li Zhaoting is Feng Shaoqing's son-in-law. Feng Shaoqing will be promoted at the end of this year, so he certainly doesn't want to cause any trouble."

The second-in-command, Silver Spear, sneered: "The one who's in trouble now isn't us, but Fang Yulong. That guy has always been arrogant. Doesn't he want to be the boss? Take back Li Zhaoting's head, and we'll let him be the boss!"

The fourth leader, Copperhead, asked, "Second Brother, if Fang Yulong kills Li Zhaoting, what will we..."

Silver Spear sneered, "If Li Zhaoting is killed, Lu Xiaofeng and Tang Zhuquan will definitely come after him to fight to the death. They can call on their friends and gather seven or eight grandmasters. With so many people rushing at him, can Fang Yulong stop them?"

"What if Fang Yulong is killed?"

The copper-headed man skillfully played the role of a curious child.

A sinister glint flashed in Tie Yisheng's eyes: "While Fang Yulong is blocking Li Zhaoting, let's rob the caravan. As long as we're fast enough, we can steal the silver."

"Great idea, let's do it!"

Golden-Armed Boy shouted, "Third Brother, go and write a letter to Fang Yulong. As long as he kills Li Zhaoting, not only will he get 70% of the escort silver, but from now on, Seven Kill Valley will be the master of Evil Dragon Valley, and he will be the big boss!"

……

"Valley Master, a letter from Seven Kill Valley!"

"Read!"

"The letter says that if you kill Li Zhaoting, you will become the master of Evil Dragon Valley. Valley Master, this is..."

"This is a golden opportunity for us!"

Fang Yulong spread his hands, his face full of arrogance: "Li Zhaoting is just a greenhorn, yet he scared them like this. What kind of Golden-Armed Boy is he? He should be called a spineless shrimp!"

"Valley Master, Li Zhaoting's martial arts..."

"Even if he started practicing martial arts from the womb, how much power could he accumulate? I'll smash him to death with one blow."

"The Valley Master is accomplished in both literature and martial arts, invincible under heaven!"

The five ghosts of Longgu knelt on the ground, flattering and fawning.

Fang Yulong laughed triumphantly, "I will subdue all the mountain strongholds and become the master of the green forest. No one can defeat me. My virginity skill is invincible!"

Fang Yulong laughed wildly.

Beneath the rampant madness lay an unspeakable insanity.

The "Boyhood Skill" is the most awkward martial art in the world.

First of all, the Boy's Skill is a unique martial arts technique. If you master the Boy's Skill, you will be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort in practicing 99% of martial arts. It can also form a cyclical innate pure yang energy in your body. This energy will continuously grow stronger and stronger in your body. In the most dangerous moment when fighting enemies, it can unleash ten times the power.

The idea of ​​cultivating for sixty years in exchange for a fatal blow may seem unworthy, but this power grows on its own, does not consume cultivation time, and can even heal internal injuries. It can be understood as a demonic disintegration technique without side effects.

The powerful energy comes with side effects.

For men, few things in the world have a stronger side effect than the effects of celibacy. Even those who are not naturally attracted to women will occasionally have such desires.

Or perhaps someone drugged her with aphrodisiacs.

Or perhaps she was seduced by her childhood sweetheart.

Most importantly, all those who achieve success in practicing the Boy's Skill become martial arts masters, thus gaining a high status. The higher the status, the more temptations they face.

If you can't resist and break the rules, your internal energy cultivation will plummet, your martial arts will be crippled, and your status will be in jeopardy!
To ensure that one will never break the vow, the best way is to castrate oneself. First, this will greatly destroy a man's dignity and distort his mind. Second, castration will damage his yang energy, so he will no longer be a naturally pure yang. His yang energy will become like a tree without roots, and he will not be able to achieve great success in the art of virginity.

In the world of martial arts, every single one of those who practice the "Boyhood Skill" has some kind of psychological problem.

Fang Yulong was no exception.

To maintain his self-esteem, Fang Yulong often kidnapped respectable women to prove his abilities, claiming that he had mastered the art of virginity and was perfectly round and flawless.

In reality, very few people believed him.

Because Fang Yulong had no descendants.

The Five Ghosts of Dragon Valley were desperately trying to curry favor with Fang Yulong, hoping to become his personal disciples and inherit the Dragon Valley's assets once Fang Yulong's lifespan was over.

Martial arts skills cannot be inherited!
None of the Five Ghosts of Dragon Valley are children.

……

Soul-Severing Valley.

The Invincible Young Master threw the letter away: "What a boring plan. When did Golden-Armed Boy, with his big and burly build, learn to use tricks? It's getting more and more uninteresting."

The head steward, second-in-command, and intelligence chief of Broken Soul Valley, Mr. Fearless, quickly explained: "The pressure from Li Zhaoting is too great, and Golden Arm Boy is terrified."

The Invincible Young Master sneered: "For Li Zhaoting to be able to instill fear in a brute like Golden-Armed Boy who only thinks about fists, his swordsmanship must be at least 60-70% skilled."

Shi Guoqing, the third leader of Broken Soul Valley and the most recently recruited genius disciple of the Kunlun Sect, gently stroked the sword in his hand, his face full of arrogance: "I wonder if Li Zhaoting's swordsmanship can withstand eighty of my moves." Mr. Fearless sneered: "Shi Guoqing, if you challenge Li Zhaoting with such intentions, Li Zhaoting will kill you within three moves. If you want to challenge Li Zhaoting, first try defeating the Fire Cloud Evil God, Ancient Sword Soul!"

Shi Guoqing retorted bluntly: "Gu Jianhun was surrounded and seriously injured, and Li Zhaoting just got lucky. What's there to brag about? I feel ashamed for him!"

Mr. Fearless remained silent.

It's hard to persuade a damn devil with good words!

Mr. Fearless could guess what Shi Guoqing was thinking.

Shi Guoqing is a genius swordsman of the Kunlun Sect, whose swordsmanship far surpasses that of He Taichong. He is determined to become the leader of the Kunlun Sect, but in the eyes of the people in the martial arts world, he is a young genius and a genius disciple of Kunlun, but he is not even a direct disciple.

Shi Guoqing could not tolerate this kind of life. He needed fame and power. The title of "young genius" was not a compliment to him, but rather a mockery.

The reason for joining the Broken Soul Valley is to use the power of the Invincible Young Master to become the leader of Kunlun Sect. Kunlun Immortal Mountain is a blessed land with many old monsters living in seclusion. To become the leader, one needs to gain the approval of these people or kill these old monsters. Kunlun Sect has a low demand for geniuses; they only need stability.

In most sects, the leader's word is law within the sect. The leader of Kunlun is actually the general manager of Kunlun Corporation. The board of directors is composed of reclusive old monsters who have direct decision-making power.

Of course, the old monster was focused on comprehending the Dao of Heaven, hoping to find an opportunity to break through the void and ascend to immortality before his lifespan ran out, and had no interest in managing the sect.

Unless there is an absolute conflict of interest, the Kunlun Sect Leader wields immense power. Not only does he have the support of the Old Monster, but he can also consume rare and precious medicinal herbs unique to Kunlun Mountain.

Shi Guoqing's sole purpose in becoming the sect leader was to acquire these rare and precious materials, thereby gaining greater strength, advancing his martial arts skills, and challenging the Tianshan Sect leader.

Shi Guoqing doesn't dislike child prodigies; he dislikes child prodigies who have already achieved fame and success, and he is very jealous of them.

……

Tiger Might Escort Agency checked into an inn.

The inn was quite old-fashioned. Judging from the tables and chairs, it had been open for at least twenty years. An inn that had been operating steadily for twenty years could not be a shady business. Just as Yang Huyun was about to have the caravan stop, the road was blocked by a wine vat.

A large wine vat weighing over 200 jin (approximately 100 kg).

The wine jar contained the refreshing and fragrant Zhuyeqing wine.

There is only one in the entire martial arts world.

Yang Huyun called out loudly, "I am Yang Huyun. Why are you blocking my way, Brother Tang? Please show yourself!"

Tang Zhuquan walked out from the street corner and pointed to the dimly lit inn: "If you don't want to die, you'd better not stay here. They are sentries of the Seven Kill Valley. There are more than a dozen kinds of sleeping potions hidden in the lamp holder of the inn."

"Master Tang, you're not joking, are you?"

Yang Huyun forced a smile.

Where did Li Zhaoting go?

Why was Tang Zhuquan the one who came to help?
Tang Zhuquan chuckled: "If you're not afraid of death, go in and take a look. People can go in, but the caravan can't. This money is for repairing the river embankment, and it absolutely cannot be lost."

Li Qingming walked out with his chest out and head held high: "Let me test the skills of this inn. Tang Zhuquan, you think this is a den of dragons and tigers? I don't think so!"

"Please!"

Tang Zhuquan made way for him.

Li Qingming walked slowly into the inn and, seeing the innkeeper calculating accounts at the counter, immediately realized that Tang Zhuquan was right; this was a shady inn.

With such a commotion outside, it's impossible for the innkeeper to remain so calm unless he's deaf.

As expected of someone from a prominent family, Li Qingming showed no weakness and calmly walked towards the shopkeeper. Just as the shopkeeper was about to ask a question, he suddenly drew his sword.

"Crack!"

The lamp holder on the wall was severed by the sword energy, spewing out a plume of red smoke. Li Qingming followed up with a downward slash, the sword transforming into a streak of lightning, striking the shopkeeper's head. A clang of metal rang out, and the shopkeeper was unharmed.

"You're the Copperhead!"

Li Qingming recognized the shopkeeper's identity.

Copperhead, the fourth leader of Seven Kill Valley, wears a heavy helmet and is proficient in Iron Head Kung Fu. He likes to launch attacks by charging forward like a pig. He is the most ferocious brute in Seven Kill Valley and also the vanguard of Seven Kill Valley.

The Copper-Headed Man roared, "Li Qingming, since you've recognized my identity, then die!"

"It's up to you!"

Li Qingming swung his sword and slashed at the copper-headed man's neck.

The two engaged in a fierce battle inside the inn.

Shouts of battle could be heard outside.

This town is no ordinary village; it is an outlying force of Seven Kill Valley, serving as its eyes and ears. The entire street has been cleared out and replaced with Seven Kill Valley's elite troops.

The second-in-command, Silver Spear, and the third-in-command, Iron-Clad Life, led hundreds of henchmen in an attack. Yang Huyun commanded the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) of the Tiger Might Escort Agency to resist. The inn was filled with fighting. Tang Zhuquan snatched a long spear and fought against Silver Spear, who had the highest martial arts skills. Jianghu heroes Yin Jiu with long axe and Fang Shi with short axe fought against Iron-Clad Life, and their weapons clashed and clanged.

Leng Feng rushed into the inn to help Li Qingming.

Li Qingming was surrounded and attacked by the Copper-Headed Man and his men. His swordsmanship was unable to exert its power in the confined space, and he was forced to retreat step by step by the Copper-Headed Man's aggressive charging tactics.

Leng Feng blocked several elite henchmen, but unexpectedly, the Copper-Headed Man slammed his head into Li Qingming with a rocket-shaped headbutt. This move was completely undefended, and Li Qingming retaliated by stabbing the Copper-Headed Man's back pressure point with his sword. Blood spurted from the Copper-Headed Man's back, and Li Qingming was knocked back by the powerful blow, crashing straight into the inn wall, feeling a tightness in his chest.

"boom!"

A palm shattered through the wall and struck Li Qingming directly in the back. Caught off guard, Li Qingming staggered from the blow and spat out a mouthful of dark blood.

Black Demon Palm!
A powerful palm strike that combines potent poison and malevolent energy.

One of the most dangerous and deadly poisonous palm techniques in the martial arts world.

Those poisoned will not survive more than a day.

Only the Valley Master, Golden-Armed Boy, possesses such palm power in Seven Kill Valley. Leng Feng hurriedly hugged Li Qingming, whose face was ashen, yet he still refused to admit defeat.

"I learned internal energy cultivation before I even learned to walk. Did I practice internal energy cultivation for over twenty years for nothing?!"

Are you alright?

Leng Feng's face was filled with surprise!

"I can live for two full hours!"

Li Qingming's face was full of arrogance.

He truly deserves to be called the number one cool guy in the martial arts world.

You can lose, you can die, but you can't lose your dignity.

Leng Feng: You think you can get away with not showing off?

Li Qingming: I'd rather die than be treated differently!
Jinbi Tong didn't care what Li Qingming thought. He swung his hand and threw a punch at Li Qingming. Just then, a sword aura fell from the sky and blocked Jinbi Tong's path.

"Chichi!"

The sword energy drew several horizontal lines outside the inn!

"Those who cross the line will die!"

Li Zhaoting gracefully descended from mid-air, and Li Qingming heard Li Zhaoting's voice: "Next time, remember to learn to walk before learning internal energy. If you can't win, you can run away!"

Li Qingming: (;Дi|!)
Are you talking human language?
I'm almost dead!
Can't I die a glorious death?
Of course not!

Because Li Qingming can still be saved.

Li Zhaoting gathered divine light from the tip of his left finger, pointing the sword energy at the golden-armed boy. With his right hand, he grabbed Li Qingming, channeling his longevity energy to protect Li Qingming's internal organs.

Li Qingming coughed up two mouthfuls of blood in succession, one was black blood with a foul odor, and the other was fresh blood.

Toxins, completely suppressed!
