Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 155 Three Swords in a Row, Slaying Fang Yulong
With Li Zhaoting joining the escort team, the bandits who had been plotting to steal the silver quickly banded together.

Many conditions that had been fiercely debated and refused to budge an inch were quickly agreed upon at this moment.

The Evil Dragon Valley is led by Fang Yulong, who commands experts such as the Five Ghosts of Dragon Valley, and brings eighty or ninety henchmen.

The Soul-Severing Valley is led by the Invincible Young Master, with two capable subordinates, Mr. Fearless and Shi Guoqing, and a giant eagle for transportation. They also have a spy hidden in the escort agency.

The Green Robe Tower is led by Chen Shiyuan, who is one of the most skilled martial artists in the tower. He is proficient in both swords and spears, and is adept at using the Nine-Ring Broadsword and the Overlord Spear.

In terms of numbers and intelligence, the Green Robe Tower holds an absolute advantage. The Green Robe Tower has 108 floors, and its strength is more than ten times that of the Evil Dragon Valley and the Soul Breaking Valley combined.

Among the experts present, Evil Dragon Valley held an absolute advantage. Fang Yulong's "Five Ancestors' Child Skill" could wear down Invincible Young Master and Chen Shiyuan.

The three men looked at each other, and Fang Yulong was the first to lose his temper, sneering, "I know what you're afraid of. I'll deal with Li Zhaoting!"

Chen Shiyuan said, "Brother Fang is very brave. If you can kill Li Zhaoting, 50% of the profits from this business deal will be yours. We should cooperate more in the future."

Fang Yulong gestured a "six".

"I don't like splitting profits 50/50 with others. I want 60% of this deal, or else we're done!"

“Brother Fang, asking for an exorbitant price is not the proper attitude for doing business. Qingyi Tower is all over the world, and the convenience it can provide for you far exceeds your imagination.”

"Is that so? Chen Shiyuan, if Qingyi Tower is really as powerful as you say, then Li Zhaoting is yours. You kill Li Zhaoting, and you can keep 60% of the profits!"

Fang Yulong looked at Chen Shiyuan with disdain.

Chen Shiyuan and Wudi Gongzi came from prestigious families and had never suffered any grievances or major losses since childhood. Fang Yulong, on the other hand, came from a stable boy background and had suffered countless humiliations since childhood.

Fang Yulong couldn't articulate profound truths, nor did he care about long-term interests. He only knew one thing: to seize profits, one had to risk their life.

Fang Yulong is a real bandit.

Compared to Fang Yulong, Chen Shiyuan and the Invincible Young Master have had it too easy and have lost some of their wildness.

Especially the Invincible Prince, whose name means "invincible" is enough to show his arrogance and his smooth life. From birth to the present, he has always been high above others.

Fang Yulong shouted, "Don't try to fool me! I'm telling you right now, if the three of us join forces, we'll take 60% of what we get for dealing with Li Zhaoting, and split the rest 20% equally!"

Chen Shiyuan and the Invincible Young Master exchanged a glance.

Although the two were somewhat reluctant, Fang Yulong's conditions did not cross their bottom line. Besides, Fang Yulong was very likely to be killed by Li Zhaoting. They only needed to seize the caravan before Li Zhaoting returned to earn the money for river repairs, and then the two would have another fight.

Everyone understood that the so-called 60/20 profit split was nothing but a joke, a way to fool the underlings.

Ultimately, only one faction can emerge victorious.

If Fang Yulong kills Li Zhaoting, he will definitely use the momentum of his great victory to kill Chen Shiyuan and the Invincible Young Master, pocket the funds for river repair, and annex the forces of Broken Soul Valley.

If Li Zhaoting is held back by Fang Yulong, Chen Shiyuan and Wudi Gongzi will seize the river repair funds and deliver the money to a safe location. The two will definitely fight each other.

The Invincible Young Master is arrogant and thinks he is the only one who matters.

The entire Qingyi Tower is decorated with Pixiu (a mythical creature).

They will not back down an inch.

……

“Fatty, the enemy isn’t stupid. They won’t use piecemeal tactics. They’ll definitely swarm in. Fang Yulong, who has the strongest martial arts, will hold me off, and the rest will deal with you. They won’t fight amongst themselves before we kill all the bodyguards.”

"Chen Shiyuan and Invincible Young Master are both not easy to deal with. Do you have any suggestions?"

"It's truly remarkable that Tang Zhuquan would actually sit down and listen to the tactics. Chen Shiyuan is handed over to Phoenix, whose entire body is poisonous and can hold off Chen Shiyuan. You must join forces to deal with the Invincible Young Master."

The Invincible Young Master never uses weapons. He believes that weapons can be lost, but his hands will never be lost. His internal energy is profound and surging, and he is skilled at using palm techniques to defend against enemies.

To deal with him, we must tie his hands and feet.

Next, I will make the following arrangements…

Li Zhaoting quickly arranged the tactics.

It wasn't that Li Qingming underestimated Tang Zhuquan's martial arts skills, but rather that he wanted to make all the necessary arrangements before the battle to avoid any accidental injuries. Li Qingming sat beside him, sipping water.

Having just been fumigated in the abandoned brick kiln, Li Qingming was almost roasted into a piece of cured meat. He couldn't just gulp down water; instead, he needed to drink salt water to gradually regulate his body.

Li Zhaoting's words were very inspiring to him.

Learning to walk first seems more important.

You should learn a profound lightness skill!

In fact, none of the top swordsmen are bad at lightness skills. Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuixue, Xue Yiren, Li Guanyu, Xie Xiaofeng, and Yan Shisan are all top-notch in lightness skills. Even Yan Nantian, who seems the most reckless, has unique swordsmanship and superb lightness skills. He can jump over city walls with a parkour move. Lightness skills are a must for swordsmen.

"Can you beat Fang Yulong? This guy's Five Ancestors Child Skill makes him invulnerable to swords and spears, and impervious to water and fire. Even if there are several knives stuck in his body, he will be unharmed."

Li Qingming offered a few arrogant reminders.

"I am fully confident that we can achieve a swift victory."

"What if Fang Yulong drags it out?"

"impossible!"

"why?"

"Because Fang Yulong only knows three moves of the staff technique." "Couldn't he just buy the manual on the black market?"

"The Five Ancestors' Child Skill is Fang Yulong's foundation. He devoted his life to this unique skill, mastering the three moves of the staff technique. He didn't care about anything else."

"Perhaps this is false information deliberately released by Fang Yulong to confuse the enemy. Don't be too careless!"

"I'm prepared!"

"What preparation?"

"Prepare for a decisive victory in three moves!"

……

A group of men blocked the way in front of the security company.

The henchmen of Qingyi Tower, Duanhun Valley, and Evil Dragon Valley roared and howled. Their leader was an old man with a face as red as a jujube, white hair and beard, and holding a short stick.

Without a word, the two sides immediately began fighting.

Li Zhaoting and Fang Yulong charged at each other at the same time.

Fang Yulong brought the short stick in his hand down heavily.

Dragons playing in the waves.

The secret technique passed down by the Immortal of Longgang.

More than a hundred years ago, five masters discussed martial arts and each left behind a powerful move, which together formed the Five Ancestors' Child Skill. The five masters were: Longgang Immortal, White Tiger True Man, Yannan Mountain Man, Vajra Taoist, and Taiji Immortal!
Unfortunately, the manual only contained the powerful moves passed down by the Immortal of Longgang, the True Man of White Tiger, and the Hermit of Yannan Mountain; the rest were blank. Fang Yulong was reluctant to test them with methods such as flooding or burning, and focused solely on practicing the three powerful moves.

It may seem monotonous and dull, but in reality, decades of relentless practice day and night have perfected the three staff techniques to perfection, making them a mastery.

This move, "Dragon Playing in the Waves," combines strength and gentleness. On the surface, it appears to be a powerful, steady, and fierce strike, but in reality, it conceals subtle and ingenious hidden strength within its powerful and fierce attack.

When making moves, it has both the arrogant and domineering nature of a dragon and the unpredictable and ever-changing nature of water. It hides agility in its explosiveness and the ferocity of torrents and glaciers in its agile and water-like moves. It is like an iceberg floating in the ocean, where only the tip of the iceberg can be seen.

Li Zhaoting formed the Acala Mudra with his hands, and a dazzling Buddhist light shone behind him, while gentle Sanskrit chants echoed from the sky.

The Buddha's divine light condensed at his fingertips, and the moment the dragon bone short staff fell, he flicked his finger and shot out a sharp sword light.

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

"boom!"

The short sticks and sword beams collided with a deafening roar, and Fang Yulong was blasted back seventeen or eighteen steps, barely managing to steady himself. He possessed profound internal energy, extremely strong defensive capabilities, and unparalleled vitality. Although his blood and qi were churning from the impact, it did not actually have a significant effect.

Fang Yulong's most prominent characteristic is his composure.

His personality was arrogant and domineering, but his martial arts style was as steady as a mountain. He only had three moves in a duel and only one set of internal energy cultivation methods. However, he devoted himself to hard work and practiced the three moves of staff techniques and the set of internal energy cultivation methods to the point of perfection. His internal energy was pure and his true energy was vast. His three-foot short staff was like a dragon stirring up the sea and a tiger roaring in the forest.

"Roar~~"

With a roar like a tiger, Fang Yulong swung his short stick out again, executing the "Evil Tiger Leaps Over the Wall" technique.

Li Zhaoting formed hand seals, unleashing a rain of sword energy. Then, he spread his wings like a roc, simultaneously opening all ten fingers and shooting out ten sword beams, his body engulfed in raging flames.

Tathagata's Divine Light - Golden-Topped Buddha Lamp!

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged two blows.

Li Zhaoting soared into the air, spinning five times rapidly. The Buddhist light formed a powerful gale, and ten awe-inspiring and majestic sword beams roared towards Fang Yulong. He stepped into the void, shifting horizontally in nine different directions, ethereal and graceful, his body spinning rapidly like a top, his power condensed and undispersed.

The continuous, powerful winds were like towering waves in the ocean, or like collapsing mountains and hills. Their strength, weight, ferocity, absoluteness, and ruthlessness terrified Fang Yulong, leaving him dazzled and disoriented.

Swords strike in unison, moves in unison, like drizzle, blizzard, spring thunder, hurricane; dazzling sword light lingers, connecting heaven and earth, penetrating every crevice.

Suddenly!

A purple dragon burst forth from the sword light!
The Purple Rose Soft Sword is like Nezha stirring up the sea, waving its hand to create thousands of waves, sparkling and rolling.

The sword shadows grew increasingly indistinct. Li Zhaoting drew an arc in the air with his left hand, while his right hand, wielding the White Crane Spreads Wings, unleashed the Purple Rose Soft Sword from the arc, aiming for Fang Yulong's throat.

One blade severes the throat; a hundred-step flying sword!
Fang Yulong swept the short stick across the ground and unleashed his final move with all his might: Yan Nanshanren, Flying Swallow Returns to Spirit!
"Crack!"

The short stick was split in two by the Purple Rose Soft Sword. The Purple Rose Soft Sword was flexible and bounced up with the force of the impact. Li Zhaoting blocked the path of the reflection, flicked the hilt of the sword, and the Purple Rose Soft Sword made a sound like a bow and arrow being nocked. It shot out again like an arrow released from a bow, followed by a burst of blood.

"Pfft!"

The sword pierced through the ear of the square jade dragon.

Fang Yulong's Five Ancestors Child Skill was incomplete, consisting of only three martial arts moves and three levels of mental cultivation. There was a fatal flaw left at the ear gate. The Purple Star Soft Sword pierced through Fang Yulong's brain as easily as piercing tofu, like the straight-legged turban on an official's hat.

A sharp blade piercing the brain means certain death.

Even if Bodhidharma were alive or Rama were reborn, he could not withstand such damage. Before Li Zhaoting made his move, he deliberately used the Golden Lamp Buddha Lamp to burn the sword blade with his scorching internal energy. The sword pierced through his brain and soon emitted a burnt smell.

"boom!"

The sword energy shattered Fang Yulong's head.

Fang Yulong fell to the ground with his eyes wide open in death, his blood soaking the secret manual in his arms, and words appeared on the white paper.
