Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 207 Audacious
Racing is an exhilarating sport.

Whether it's running or riding a horse, it always gets people's blood pumping, completely focused, and full of passion.

Men find it hard to resist the temptation of racing, especially when facing the world's best master of lightness skills.

In the world of martial arts, if you can't win, run!
Lightness skill is a required course for martial arts practitioners.

There are countless martial artists in the world, and many of them have some skill in lightness skills. There are dozens or even hundreds who can be called "masters", and twenty or thirty who are the best.

Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zhaixing, Bai Zhantang, Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, Wuqing, Zhuiming, Black Spider, Zhang Jiejie, Fan Liangji, Wei Yixiao...

Why is Chu Liuxiang considered the best in the world?

Countless people have challenged Chu Liuxiang, with his short-distance bursts of speed, long-distance continuous running, and even traversing mountains, walls, and ridges, as well as his close-range evasion.

In the world of martial arts, Chu Liuxiang is the best at all light-footed skills. Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zhaixing, and Bai Zhantang have all raced against him and were all slightly inferior.

Bai Zhantang declared, "I'm going against the wind, and I'm not wearing shoes!"

In reality, the shoes flew off, and he still couldn't catch up!
The so-called "going against the wind" is complete nonsense!

When two people are racing, they will definitely start from the same starting point and run towards the same finish line, and the external conditions will be the same.

It's either all headwinds or all tailwinds.

Since Chu Liuxiang debuted, everyone who has competed with him in lightness skills has been defeated without hesitation.

This is not only because of his innate internal strength advantage, which allows him to not need to breathe, but also because Chu Liuxiang genuinely loves lightness skills and rapid flight. Those who know it are not as good as those who love it, and those who love it are not as good as those who enjoy it.

Chu Liuxiang's favorite thing is to run freely under the moonlight on a clear, moonlit night. However, his lightness skill is too superb, and without external pressure, he cannot unleash his full potential when running alone.

Racing can excite Chu Liuxiang.

Especially when pursued by martial arts masters.

Chu Liuxiang knew who was behind him, and he also knew what the consequences would be if he were caught. The more he knew, the more excited he became, and the more his blood boiled.

Under Li Zhaoting's pressure, Chu Liuxiang's flying speed increased, his potential was constantly being squeezed out, and the bottleneck that had plagued him for months was broken through in one go.

The fragrance lingers under the moonlight!

Chu Liuxiang rode the wind and walked on the moon, exuding an indescribable elegance. Li Zhaoting had to admit that Chu Liuxiang was indeed unparalleled in terms of movement techniques.

Li Zhaoting pushed the Void Step to its limit, and as his body flew, it generated airflow, forming a protective aura that streamlined itself, turning air resistance into power.

Completely abandon any techniques.

There's only one word... Hurry!

Straightforward and swift as a shooting star.

Chu Liuxiang's speed was faster than a shooting star, like an immortal dancing in the air, extremely elegant and graceful.

No matter how much Li Zhaoting urged his strength, how much he increased his speed, or even charged forward recklessly like Miss Wang, like an arrow released from a bow, charging forward like a pig, his muscles trembling, and he roared with thunderous force.

"Roar~~"

A green dragon emerges from the water, a tiger roars in the mountains!
The rolling sound waves crashed towards Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang nimbly turned in mid-air, dodging the tangible sound waves, and then flashed again, like figure skating, gracefully circling behind Li Zhaoting.

Li Zhaoting drew his fingers into a sword shape, turned around and thrust the sword energy straight into Chu Liuxiang's chest and abdomen.

Chu Liuxiang dodged, but before he could retaliate, Li Zhaoting flicked his five fingers in quick succession, opening them like plum blossom petals. Five sword energies circulated and formed the Five Elements Sword Formation.

This is a sword formation created by Li Zhaoting based on the Six Meridians Divine Sword, combined with the Five Elements theory of mutual generation and restraint of the Seven Injury Fist, discarding the Shaoze Sword on the left little finger, and only retaining the first five swords, so that it can be performed by one person.

Li Zhaoting had previously tested this method against Shangguan Yun, probing for weaknesses in the moves.

Chu Liuxiang is really unlucky!

What he saw was the revised and improved version!
Li Zhaoting's five fingers resemble five swordsmen practicing different sword styles, each wielding a different sword, forming a sword formation that generates and sustains the five elements.

Some sword auras were as sharp as gold, exuding the killing intent of metal, the roar of a white tiger, the earth-shattering force, and the arrival of a great storm.

Some sword energies are as aggressive as fire, raging like flames, skillful and flexible, bringing both destruction and birth.

Some sword energies are as swift as the wind, full of vitality, appearing and disappearing suddenly, with subtle changes that are difficult to grasp.

Some sword energies are as thick and deep as water, as boundless as the ocean, expansive and majestic, with surging waves.

Some sword auras are as thick as earth, as immovable as mountains, clumsy and ancient, advancing slowly and steadily, seeking victory through stability.

Li Zhaoting secretly pondered that when he had time, he could combine the Eight Methods of the Well to simplify this sword formation into an ever-renewing blade formation and teach it to the Five Rats. When traveling the martial world, one-on-one duels are easy to get injured, and ganging up on the weak is the way to go.

Especially Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang is too reckless and belligerent, making him easy prey for his enemies. Without the help of his brothers, he would either die from the machinations of villains or from a deadly trap.

As the evening breeze blew, Li Zhaoting's clothes fluttered wildly. With his left hand forming a sword incantation and his right hand wielding five swords in a continuous combo, Li Zhaoting used the sword intent of the five elements to relentlessly and steadily press closer and closer to Chu Liuxiang.

While it sounds impressive to activate a sword formation by one person, it actually consumes a great deal of energy. Li Zhaoting was completely absorbed in his enlightenment on swordsmanship and forgot all about changing the sword formation into a saber formation.

The One and Only Sword in Heaven and Earth!
Li Zhaoting became one with the sword energy.

Li Zhaoting is the sword, and the sword is Li Zhaoting.

The overwhelming sword energy filled the heavens and earth.

There was no evening breeze, no bright moon, no flowers or grass, no starlight, no cold mist, and even sound and light were obscured; there were only five towering divine swords.

The momentum grew stronger and stronger, and the entire world was condensed by the sword intent. The Tai Chi diagram, with its alternating Yin and Yang, sealed off the surrounding space of fifteen zhang. Cold sweat seeped from Chu Liuxiang's nose. He didn't know what move in the world could break this boundless sword energy. There was absolutely nothing in the world!
If it's not on earth, then look for it in the sky!

Chu Liuxiang rose from the barren land and soared into the sky.

Li Zhaoting slowly tightened his right hand, and as Chu Liuxiang flew to the highest point, Li Zhaoting's right hand would perfectly form a sword finger. The sword energy generated by the five elements would merge at this moment, bursting out the most fierce sword light.

What goes up must come down.

No one can float in mid-air forever.

Chu Liuxiang is a human, not a god, and cannot truly walk on the moon; he will eventually fall back to the ground.

Chu Liuxiang's upward momentum was like an arrow piercing the sky, riding six dragons, flying dragons in the sky, circling and dancing, and his downward momentum was like a divine dragon soaring and changing several times in a second.

Li Zhaoting's eyes were wide open, his gaze sharp as torches. His right hand formed a sword-finger gesture, and a three-foot-long sword beam pointed directly at Chu Liuxiang's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. No matter how Chu Liuxiang changed, the sword beam always accurately pointed at Chu Liuxiang's nose.

Lu Xiaofeng's beard, Tang Zhuquan's wine jar, Li Zhaoting's old wine, Chu Liuxiang's nose...

These are all "marks" that have made them famous throughout the martial arts world.

Even if you've never met them in person, you can recognize them at a glance just by seeing these special markings.

Every woman who recognized Chu Liuxiang wanted to bite off his nose, and every man who recognized him wanted to punch him until he saw stars.

Li Zhaoting drew his sword.

Chu Liuxiang followed up with a sword strike.

To be precise, the two attacked simultaneously, with no distinction between the order of attack; everything was for this one strike.

In a battle between masters, half a move is enough to determine the winner.

Why bother coming up with so many fancy and bizarre tricks?

In a martial arts duel, one move is enough.

The roar of true energy was deafening, and the five elements of sword energy scattered and shot out, cleaving the surrounding flowers, trees, sand, and soil into dust. Thick smoke billowed into the air, and the area within a radius of thirty feet was filled with smoke and dust, with the sound of wind faintly audible.

With a loud whistle, the smoke and dust dissipated, all was silent, birds took flight in fright, and smoke filled the air.

Li Zhaoting's right hand fell limply to his side, while his left hand grabbed Chu Liuxiang's shoulder. Chu Liuxiang used his "Shadow-Splitting Hand" to hold Li Zhaoting's right shoulder, and was punched in the nose.

"As expected of Chu Liuxiang, he's quick-witted!"

"Brother Li, to tell you the truth, I just used all my strength. If I had deviated even by half an inch, my nose would have been sliced ​​off by the sword energy. It was a truly perilous situation."

"Master Chu is joking. When have you ever fought someone without taking a risk, and when have you never won a risky battle?"

"Brother Li did not draw his sword."

"If I draw my sword and injure you, the sword spirit of the Purple Star Soft Sword will completely collapse, the divine sword will become obscured, and it will turn from a divine weapon into a piece of broken copper and scrap iron. The Purple Star Soft Sword will be unlucky to accidentally injure a righteous person. If it is abandoned in a deep valley, the divine weapon will be covered in dust."

Chu Liuxiang knew this, of course. He knew that the Ziwei Soft Sword was a divine weapon for upholding righteousness and protecting the Way, and he knew that Li Zhaoting would not draw his sword, which is why he reacted just now.

With his solid foundation, Li Zhaoting transformed the tangible sword into intangible energy, using the Five Elements and Six Meridians Sword Formation to completely surround Chu Liuxiang. If he did not leap upwards but instead tried to dodge, he would be at Li Zhaoting's mercy.

The ever-flowing, endless sword energy will continuously compress the space, leaving Chu Liuxiang nowhere to escape.

However, if Chu Liuxiang leaps up, Li Zhaoting will gather his sword energy and transform the sword array into sword light. Just as Chu Liuxiang reaches the highest point and is about to land, he will stab him in a vital spot, leaving Chu Liuxiang with nowhere to escape.

Chu Liuxiang realized this and made his move when he reached the highest point, drawing out Li Zhaoting's true energy.

The sword energy, held back yet ready to be unleashed, is like a fully drawn bow, the arrow poised to be released at any moment.

This is Li Zhaoting's weakness.

When one person activates the sword formation, the rate at which their true essence is depleted is not five times, but twenty-five times.

In order to maintain the continuous flow of sword energy, it is necessary to use the Yin-Yang cycle of the Longevity True Qi to interact and stimulate the True Qi, allowing it to constantly change between Yin and Yang.

If the sword energy is directly shot out, it is direct current, while the sword formation is activated by alternating current. Chu Liuxiang seized the moment of yin and yang interaction, and precisely executed his move, triggering the sword energy, by controlling the slight stagnation of true essence.

Chu Liuxiang forcibly triggered his sword energy. The moment the sword energy bloomed like plum blossoms, his speed soared to its limit, and he swam in the sea of ​​sword energy like a fish.

Before Li Zhaoting could reassemble his sword energy, Chu Liuxiang closed the distance and engaged in close combat with Li Zhaoting. Within a few moves, they grabbed each other's shoulders.

Who is Chu Liuxiang? The Master Thief!

Spectrum Detector.

His specialty is close combat.

This method can be described as extremely audacious. From soaring upwards to making risky moves and then to close combat, every part requires complete concentration. The slightest deviation will result in the omnipresent sword energy sealing all the acupoints in the body. If Li Zhaoting takes the opportunity to draw his sword or temporarily avoids the sharp edge and keeps the sword energy dormant, Chu Liuxiang will undoubtedly be defeated.

Chu Liuxiang bet that Li Zhaoting wouldn't do that.

Fortunately, he won his gamble.

Many of the rumors circulating in the martial arts world are exaggerated.

Li Zhaoting is by no means a ruthless devil.

Of course, the gamble didn't win completely.

He was punched by Li Zhaoting using an unexpected move.

Chu Liuxiang's friends have all said that Chu Liuxiang is too fond of taking risks and they hope he will encounter a master who will teach him a lesson. Otherwise, Chu Liuxiang's martial arts skills will never reach their peak, and the level of danger will only increase.

Chu Liuxiang certainly understood this principle, but he was born brave and loved adventure. When he encountered a master, he couldn't help but take risks, even if he would die if he deviated by half an inch. He was still unrepentant.

The feeling of drifting on the edge of life and death is the most stimulating to the nerves. Chu Liuxiang likes excitement, especially when this kind of life-or-death thrill is combined with speed.

Logically, the two should have a drink together.

However, Li Zhaoting had just returned home tonight, and the saying goes, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." His trip outside had already displeased his beautiful wife and concubines. If he were to have a drinking contest with Chu Liuxiang, there would probably be a giant toad floating under the wine vat.

"Master Chu, I have urgent business tonight and cannot drink with you. I will treat you to drinks at Zuixianju tomorrow."

"To be honest, I was sure you were at home tonight, which is why I felt comfortable making a move. What were you thinking? Why did you challenge me to a contest of lightness skills?"

"You really want to know?"

"Of course!"

Have you ever heard of 'warm-up exercises'?

Li Zhaoting casually took the white jade beauty, leaped out of the woods, found Miss Wang who was running around like a headless fly, and handed the white jade beauty to her.

As Chu Liuxiang watched Li Zhaoting walk away, he grimaced and rubbed his joints. The pressure Li Zhaoting brought him was unprecedented. In order to deal with Li Zhaoting's sword formation, Chu Liuxiang squeezed out all his potential. In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he was exhausted. Due to overexertion, he had some muscle and joint strains and needed to rest for a night.

Even if Li Zhaoting has a mental illness and doesn't spend time with his beautiful wife and concubines, but instead wants to have a drinking contest with Chu Liuxiang, Chu Liuxiang still can't compete, at least not tonight.

……

With the blessing of the Longevity True Qi, Li Zhaoting's physical strength was not depleted in the slightest. His blood and qi were as hot as magma, and the fire accumulated in his body seemed about to burst out.

Mei and Zhu prepared a fragrant bath.

Lying in the pool, with Feng Suzhen on his left, Lan Fenghuang on his right, and Meizhu behind him, Li Zhaoting relaxed completely, squinted his eyes, and fully enjoyed the feeling of being reunited after a short separation.

"My lord~~"

Feng Suzhen's breath was as fragrant as orchids.

"Li Lang~~"

Lan Fenghuang's face was practically dripping with seductive charm.

"No one is allowed to leave tonight!"

Li Zhaoting thought to himself that after practicing the Seven Injury Fist for so long, and even creating the Five Elements Sword Formation, he had finally succeeded in tempering his five internal organs and circulating the five elements.

There are no kidneys that are indestructible or made of iron.

Only Wolverine's infinitely self-healing kidneys.

Even if the phoenix rises from the ashes, it can still be evenly matched.

The next morning.

Li Zhaoting got up and did his morning exercise with a sense of pride.

Feng Suzhen and Lan Fenghuang slept in late.

They didn't want to lift a finger.

Jiang Yuyan made breakfast.

There was no share of the Five Rats.

Li Zhaoting gave them some pocket money and told them to go out and eat. Five young men who practiced martial arts could eat up half of a small breakfast stall.

Long ago, they were gold members of various breakfast stalls in Nanjing. Making breakfast required getting up early, which was relatively tiring, so eating out was more cost-effective.

As the saying goes, a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home.

There's a saying that goes, "The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts."

Eating is a major expense.

No wonder the Shaolin Kitchen is full of hidden talents, cooking for thousands of monks every day and ensuring meals are served on time. Even if they are only responsible for tending the fire, they can accumulate a solid foundation while blowing on the fire with bamboo tubes or operating the bellows.

Blowing fire through a bamboo tube can help one cultivate Shaolin internal martial arts.

Working the bellows can develop super-strong arms.

That's how the Fire-Worker Monk trained his martial arts.

With his muscular arms honed by working the bellows, he can unleash powerful and fierce techniques like the Shaolin Vajra Finger, Dragon Claw Hand, and Vajra Palm. How many people can stop him?

Li Zhaoting's imagination ran wild, and he was lost in his own thoughts.

The thought of the Fire-Worker Monk came to mind while eating breakfast.

The idea of ​​practicing martial arts by remaining a virgin stemmed from the fire-working monk.

The image of childhood training reminds me of Huo Xiu and Cao Zhengchun.

From Cao Zhengchun, I can think of the laziest person in the world.

It wasn't until after breakfast that Feng Suzhen and Lan Fenghuang lazily got up, looking radiant, which made Jiang Yuyan extremely envious. She secretly wondered, "Did I eat too little? Does the young master prefer plump women?"
its not right!
Your wife is so frail and delicate, she's not even as good-looking as me!

Jiang Yuyan was filled with doubts.

She decided to ask Meizhu.

They were all maids, so they had a lot in common.

The two decided to compile a set of "Two Hundred Essential Skills for Maids to Survive" and form a super alliance of "Maids Uniting as One Family"!
These were all Mei Zhu's opinions.

She was also lost in thought.

……

Jin Banhua paid a visit.

Last night, Miss Wang returned triumphantly, carrying Bai Yu Meiren, saying, "I've brought Bai Yu Meiren back for you. Pay the bodyguard's fee now."

Miss Wang's lightness skill is inferior to even Ying Wanli and Wan Wudi, so how could she possibly catch up with the master thief Chu Liuxiang? Anyone with a brain knows that it must be Li Zhaoting who helped retrieve the White Jade Beauty.

Thinking of the rumors circulating in the martial arts world, and of Li Zhaoting and Miss Wang traveling arm in arm from Guanzhong to Jinling, Jin Banhua tacitly acknowledged that it was Miss Wang's doing.

Ying Wanli and others went to inspect the battlefield.

Seeing the forest destroyed into ruins, the towering trees chopped into dry firewood, and the ravines crisscrossing the ground, I thought to myself, "Give us a way to survive!"
We old folks didn't save enough money for retirement and didn't want to retire, but now we have no choice but to retire.

The two young men exchanged only a couple of casual moves, yet they already possessed such terrifying destructive power. If they were to unleash their full power and unleash a barrage of sword energy, who knows what the scene would be like?

This scenario does not exist.

The higher one's martial arts skill, the more refined one's control over one's true essence.

When facing an enemy in battle, we all exert all our strength to bombard the enemy with our sword energy; we have no interest in demolishing houses!

What destroyed the forest was the overflowing internal energy.

If it weren't for Chu Liuxiang's extraordinary courage and unparalleled bravery, which most people wouldn't even dare to dream of, and his willingness to risk everything to provoke Li Zhaoting's sword energy, he could have at most cut down three or four trees.

This benefited the woodcutters in the surrounding area.

Dry firewood was everywhere, neatly chopped.

I haven't had to work for several days in a row.

Jin Banhua was very good at welcoming and seeing off guests. She hosted a banquet and invited Li Zhaoting, thinking to herself, "We're from the same hometown, you wouldn't cheat me, would you? There shouldn't be any murder, right?"

As it turns out, there really wasn't.

Li Zhaoting is not Conan.

In Li Zhaoting's home turf, even a super troublemaker like Chu Liuxiang would have his edge suppressed.

Everything in Nanjing is as usual.

Until he received a letter from Gongsun Ce.

There's progress on the matter of the water fortress.
