Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 154 Seven Kill Valley, Annihilation!

The golden-armed boy's expression suddenly turned cold.

Li Zhaoting's displayed kung fu skills were terrifying.

Since mastering the Black Fiend Palm, Golden Arm Boy has never seen a master who can forcibly remove toxins using internal energy. With such skill, could he have started practicing martial arts from the womb?
Golden-Armed Boy is proficient in external martial arts, which he mainly uses to temper his arms. His arms are indestructible and incredibly strong. He is determined to challenge Iron Hand, one of the Four Great Constables.

Everyone who trains their arms wants to challenge themselves with iron hands.

Master Tie's arms are truly famous!
Jinbi Tong is very confident in his arms, but he always feels a little guilty when facing Li Zhaoting.

It's not because they've done anything wrong. Seven Kill Valley is essentially a bandit's den, their profession is burning, killing, and looting. They do immoral things every day, so how could they possibly feel guilty?
The Golden-Armed Child fears the Purple Rose Soft Sword.

While the ability to defend against ordinary swords and blades is sufficient, one may feel somewhat apprehensive when facing the slashes of divine weapons, especially those skilled in offensive combat.

The piercing, sharp light emanating from Li Zhaoting's left hand was truly terrifying.

After several months of dissemination, Jinbi Tong learned that Li Zhaoting had mastered a set of sword qi skills from the Tathagata Palm, with magnificent and powerful moves that were even more penetrating than the Tathagata Palm.

"Li Zhaoting, you think you can make Seven Kill Valley retreat with just a few words? How am I supposed to face people after this?"

"Not good enough? Then don't bother!"

Li Zhaoting stopped Jinbi Tong, while Lan Fenghuang and Leng Feng picked up Li Qingming and took him to the brick kiln outside the city.

Li Zhaoting only removed some of the toxins from Li Qingming's body, but did not remove the evil energy. To completely cure him, he would need to be roasted with intense fire to expel a large amount of sweat.

The reason I was talking nonsense with Golden-Armed Boy earlier was to buy time for Blue Phoenix, not because I really wanted to stop the war.

"Li Zhaoting, do you think I'm afraid of you!"

"I don't need you to be afraid of me!"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to... eliminate Seven Kill Valley!"

Li Zhaoting slammed his left fingertip into the ground.

Tathagata's Palm - Buddha Asks the Monastery.

Golden-armed boy's arms flashed with brilliant golden light, looking very similar to Gu Santong's "Vajra Hand". They looked very similar, but their core concepts were completely different.

The core of "Vajra Hand" is a simplified version of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, with the aim of reducing physical wear and tear.

The golden arms of the Golden-Armed Child are actually the result of combining several body-refining techniques, tempering his arms with the courage to seek life in the face of death, and forging his hands into weapons.

Golden-Armed Boy never uses weapons.

Any weapon can be lost, and even divine weapons can become obscured or even devour their master in battle. Only your hands and feet will not betray you; the body is the strongest weapon.

There are many experts who believe in this philosophy.

For example: Li Chenzhou, Invincible Young Master.

The Five Poisons Sect selectively adheres to its beliefs.

Lan Fenghuang narrowly escaped becoming a victim.

It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong in martial arts philosophy, but if Li Zhaoting were to make a judgment, he would lean towards using weapons; having a divine weapon in hand is always better than being empty-handed.

If two Li Zhaotings were to fight to the death, one unarmed and the other wielding the Purple Rose Soft Sword, the one with the sword would undoubtedly win. The saying "no sword is better than having a sword" applies because neither possesses a suitable divine weapon.

To be precise, the divine weapons forged within the current martial arts system either do not resonate with one's inner self or cannot enhance combat power, so one chooses to fight bare-handed.

If you had divine weapons like the Snow Drinking Blade, the Peerless Sword, or the Heavenly Crystal Sword, who the hell would fight bare-handed?
"Qiang!"

The Purple Rose Soft Sword popped out from the waist.

Li Zhaoting gripped the sword hilt with his right hand and swung it forcefully into the air. The sword energy compressed into a crescent shape, followed by a dragon-like tail strike that lashed towards the Golden-Armed Boy's chest and abdomen.

Golden-Armed Child roared and unleashed a powerful punch.

"boom!"

The fist and sword energy collided with a deafening roar, and the unparalleled force surged in all directions. The already dilapidated inn could no longer withstand the pressure and was completely reduced to ruins. Amidst the raging flames and flying smoke, Li Zhaoting and Jinbitong clashed with all their might, their sword energy and fist energy shooting out, and the booming sound was incessant.

Yang Huyun shouted, "Brothers! Seven Kill Valley is about to collapse, give it your all!"

Tang Zhuquan launched a trash-talking offensive, using a continuous stream of trash talk to confuse Yin Qiangzi. The two exchanged dozens of blows, and Yin Qiangzi was hit by several bullets.

The reason he wasn't killed by Tang Zhuquan was twofold: first, he was wearing inner armor; second, he had the help of his subordinates, with a dozen elite gunmen and Silver Spear forming a formation to surround and attack him.

As Tang Zhuquan unleashed a series of powerful attacks, Silver Spear's subordinates died one after another. Silver Spear was pierced with three holes in his shoulder, chest, and abdomen, and his attacks became increasingly slower.

The other end.

Yin Jiu and Fang Shi besieged Tie Yisheng.

Tieyisheng wears an invulnerable iron armor and is skilled in using an iron fan. He looks refined and gentle, like a bandit advisor, but in reality, he is born with superhuman strength.

He carried heavy loads while walking, sitting, and lying down for twelve hours a day, and his weapon was an iron fan comparable to a whip or mace. To say that such a person was a scholar with no physical strength would be absolutely blind.

Yin Jiufang's martial arts skills were not very high, yet he was able to survive in the martial arts world for decades. This was because his brothers were united, he had a chivalrous heart and many friends, and he had excellent eyesight and was rarely deceived by the appearance of his enemies.

Yin Jiu was skilled in using a long-handled axe.

Fang Shi was skilled in using short-handled Xuanhua axe.

The axe is clearly a heavy weapon with a very strong armor-piercing ability. The iron armor that Ironclad Sheng wore not only failed to stop the axe, but also slowed him down.

After fighting for forty or fifty moves, Fang Shi used his broadsword to block Tie Yisheng's iron fan. Yin Jiu took the opportunity to slash continuously, and the axe, carrying all his strength, slammed into Tie Yisheng's back. With a crack, Tie Yisheng's spine broke.

"You...you two..."

"You villain, prepare to die!"

Three axes fell simultaneously.

Ironclad stared at the two men with unseeing eyes.

He had braved wind and rain for so many years and remained unharmed, without even a scar on his body. Unexpectedly, he died at the hands of two brutes during a robbery.

Yin Jiufang and Shi Shi exchanged a glance before heading off to help the Tiger Might Escort Agency fight against the Seven Kill Valley's henchmen. They were both chivalrous and compassionate heroes, and their assistance was not for fame, fortune, or official positions, but solely for the sake of the people.

This is the money for repairing the river embankment!
No one should touch this money!
Meanwhile, brick kilns outside the city!
This is an abandoned brick kiln, dark and resembling hell inside. Blue Phoenix lit a huge fire, and the flames shone through the cracks, making it even more terrifying than hell itself.

Li Qingming took two antidote pills, then had three large jugs of water poured down his throat, and was locked up inside with his hands and feet bound.

Blue Phoenix slowly added fuel to the fire.

Leng Feng was so anxious she was pacing around in circles.

"Miss Lan, how is Qingming?"

"Miss Lan, will he be alright?"

"Miss Lan, I'm a little worried..."

Lan Fenghuang understood Leng Feng's mindset. If Li Zhaoting were tied up and thrown into a black brick kiln, roasted like lamb skewers, she would be more worried than Leng Feng.

Leng Feng spun around in place, but didn't draw his sword to attack.

Blue Phoenix really can kill people!

"Sister Leng, don't worry, it's alright. The principle of the Black Fiend Palm is to integrate toxins and fiendish energy into one. It has no effect on removing a certain injury on its own."

To heal the internal injuries caused by the Black Fiend Palm, the toxins must first be suppressed. Then, a large amount of tea must be drunk, and the toxins must be steamed out by steaming buns.

I've taken Li Qingming's pulse. He should be fully recovered in two hours at most!

Before Lan Fenghuang could finish speaking, Li Qingming's voice came from the brick kiln. As the number one cool guy in the martial arts world, even though he was seriously injured, his mouth was dry, his throat was hoarse from being scorched, and his lips were sticky, he still had to stand up and act cool.

"Nonsense! Leader Lan, I learned internal energy before I could even walk. A mere Black Fiend Palm technique, I can heal in an hour... Water... Give me water..."

Lan Fenghuang looked at Leng Feng with a face full of curiosity.

How can you stand this kind of fiancé?

Leng Feng gave an awkward but polite smile.

His strengths will outweigh his weaknesses.

Blue Phoenix's detoxification method is very effective.

As sweat was violently expelled from his body, the toxins and evil energy in Li Qingming's body were also expelled. His face was only pale from the heat, but he was fine after drinking some water.

He should have learned a lesson from this battle.

Internal strength is important, but running away is even more important!

—If I had learned to run away first, I could have dodged the sudden palm strike from the Golden-Armed Child.

—A proverb in the martial arts world: If you can't beat them, run!

"If you can't beat them, run away" is an eternal truth.

As bandits, both Golden-Armed Boy and Silver-Spear understood this principle, but they had nowhere to escape.

Tang Zhuquan single-handedly blocked the retreat.

Li Zhaoting pressed forward relentlessly, employing every deadly move imaginable.

The golden-armed boy, resembling a mad tiger, traded his life for another.

"suddenly!"

A heavy punch landed on Li Zhaoting's chest and abdomen.

The gold ring on his arm jingled.

Iron Wire Fist.

One of the most powerful external martial arts styles, it involves wearing iron rings during training, actually to increase the load.

Iron Wire Fist masters don't parade around wearing dozens of iron rings; that's just for show. To become a master, you first increase the weight to temper your arms, then gradually reduce the weight, learning to control your strength, lifting heavy objects with ease and light objects with weight.

Golden-Armed Boy is a master among masters.

Ordinary people wear iron rings when practicing martial arts, but Jinbi Tong has the strength of a water buffalo in his arms, and coupled with his flamboyant personality, he wears gold rings, which increases the difficulty several times over.

This punch was fierce and powerful, invincible, and brought with it a whistling sound and a gust of wind.

Yang Huyun was terrified.

His real name is not Yang Huyun. In the past, he was known as "Iron-Legged Boy" on par with Golden-Armed Boy. He specialized in leg techniques, with heavy legs like hammers. With golden arms and iron feet, he was one of the two most powerful immortal boys.

Later, fearing being surrounded and killed, Tiejiaotong planned to fake his death and escape. He changed his name to Yang Huyun and founded the Huwei Escort Agency in the capital. Yang Huyun originally thought he was on par with Jinbitong, but now he realized that the difference between the two was not only huge, but at least three levels.

What surprised Yang Huyun even more was Li Zhaoting's sharp and fast sword. He had long known that Li Zhaoting's swordsmanship was divine and that he was good at killing, but he did not expect his swordsmanship to be so sharp.

With his powerful punches capable of smashing stone tablets, Jinbi Tong had to retreat in the face of Li Zhaoting's sword light. As long as the sword light grazed Jinbi Tong's body, it would inevitably leave a bloodstain.

Fortunately, Golden-Armed Boy focused on tempering his arms and didn't learn Iron Shirt, otherwise he would have been blown to pieces long ago.

Seeing his trusted subordinates being killed one after another, Jinbi Tong roared to the sky, clenched his fists, twisted his feet into a bow stance, his back like a hard bow, his tendons in his hands and feet like bowstrings, and opened all the joints in his body.

"Li Zhaoting, prepare to die!"

Golden-armed boy threw a punch at Li Zhaoting.

The bricks and stones beneath his feet were crushed to dust, and his body shot out like an arrow. His spine twisted like a dragon, and the force rose from the ground. His joints crackled like firecrackers, and the power traveled from his feet to his calves, thighs, waist, abdomen, chest, and arms. Due to the excessive force, a layer of blood mist seeped from his pores.

This punch is devoid of any fancy moves; it's the most standard way to generate power, returning to the origin and merging all the body's energy and blood into a single point to unleash the strongest punch.

Li Zhaoting clearly felt that this punch was several times stronger than Jin Bitong's foundation. Jin Bitong suffered multiple abrasions, muscle strains, and sprains in his bones and joints.

A desperate, all-out punch.

The tempered version of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration.

Risking physical damage for a single burst of energy, gambling with one's health for the rest of one's life in a desperate gamble.

Li Zhaoting bent his hands towards his palms, interlaced his finger joints, raised his index fingers, and touched the tips together, forming the Acala Mudra, with a radiant light emanating from behind him.

The Buddha's Divine Light - The First Appearance of Buddha's Light!

As their fists clashed, the sword's edge was shattered. The Golden-Armed Child's speed slowed down, but not by much, and he still charged straight toward Li Zhaoting. However, he found that the air had become viscous, and the more he charged forward, the greater the resistance he encountered.

The air felt like chains, shackles, and as heavy as lead and mercury; every step forward caused my joints to crack from exhaustion.

Upon closer inspection, the scattered sword energy that had been blasted together converged into slender sword threads, weaving a net that stretched from heaven to earth. By the time the Golden-Armed Child reacted, his strength had already been exhausted.

Li Zhaoting flicked his right hand.

One blade severes the throat; a hundred-step flying sword!
The Purple Rose Soft Sword sliced ​​across the Golden-Armed Boy's throat.

Golden-Armed Boy took two steps forward, feeling the metallic salty taste in his throat. He gave a bitter laugh, then his limbs lost their strength, and he collapsed weakly to the ground.

Golden-Armed Child, die!
At the same moment, Tang Zhuquan brandished his spear, using the Phoenix Three Nods move to kill Silver Spear's last trusted guard with one shot, knock the bright silver spear out of Silver Spear's hand with another, and pierce Silver Spear's throat with yet another.

Eh?
Is someone left behind?

Where did the Copperhead go?
Copperhead is dead!
Previously, in order to lure the enemy away for Golden-Armed Boy, Copper-Headed Guest was stabbed in the back and seriously injured, unable to fight back. He hid in the inn to heal his wounds. After that, Li Zhaoting and Golden-Armed Boy fought each other without any scruples, turning the inn into ruins.

The copper-headed man was trapped under the rubble, unable to move or speak, and was eventually killed by the residual internal energy.

The four leaders of Seven Kill Valley were wiped out!

Bandits can only fight when things are going well.

When the boss died, the henchmen scattered in all directions.

Li Zhaoting and the others did not pursue them, as such a pursuit was meaningless. It would be better to let them go back and let them spread fear in Broken Soul Valley and Green Robe Tower.

We will encounter two or three more groups of robbers next.

To prevent the enemy from luring us away from our stronghold, we might gain unexpected benefits by letting these lackeys spread fear.

The镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) of Huwei镖局 (Tiger Might Escort Agency) shouted loudly to celebrate the victory. Yang Huyun shouted polite words. Looking at Yang Huyun's smiling face, Li Zhaoting thought to himself, "What are you pretending for? With your skills, you still want to play the role of the last one? Just be the head镖师!"

……

Upon receiving news of the annihilation of the Seven Kill Valley, Fang Yulong said smugly, "That brute Jinbi Tong, what strategy does he know? What nonsense about using one tiger to devour another!"

"The Valley Master is wise and mighty, and invincible!"

"I've said it before: what matters most to a bandit hero is martial arts, not schemes and tricks. Let them fight over it; it will all belong to me in the end!"

"The Valley Master is a master strategist, invincible!"
