Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 238 Li Zhaoting's thousand schemes were no match for Murong Bo's quick wit.

Wang Yuyan's aura grew stronger and stronger.

The overwhelming and chilling aura left Murong Fu, Li Qingluo, and Kumārajīva dumbfounded.

Murong Fu never expected that the submissive Wang Yuyan would be so skilled in martial arts, with unfathomable and profound abilities.

Li Qingluo never expected that the well-behaved and sensible Wang Yuyan was neither well-behaved nor sensible. On the contrary, she was deep-thinking and good at hiding her true abilities. With a sword in hand, her sword energy was like a rainbow.

Many people underestimated Wang Yuyan's talent.

Wang Yuyan observes others' martial arts matches, deduces their backgrounds based on their moves, and provides timely and optimal guidance. This process consists of two parts.

The first half is about recognition, which tests experience and knowledge.

The second half involves calculations, testing martial arts deduction.

Wang Yuyan could predict her opponent's next move with just a few glances and devise a countermeasure. With such powerful deductive abilities, dealing with a martial artist who had studied many schools of thought but was not proficient in any one thing was a piece of cake.

Furthermore, upon closer analysis, Wang Yuyan primarily relies on her super brain rather than martial arts comprehension, making her less suited to the Dugu Nine Swords or the Yi Sword Technique, and more suited to the nameless sword technique passed down by Zhang Danfeng. She is better at using her brain.

The Nameless Sword Technique is a replica of the Dugu Nine Swords, consisting of nineteen moves. It is all-encompassing and endless. It allows one to learn the opponent's sword techniques during a sword fight and to guide the opponent to reveal their weaknesses. Zhang Danfeng proudly stated that his Nameless Sword Technique is half a level stronger than any named sword technique in the world and is the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

Unfortunately, Zhang Danfeng's whereabouts became uncertain in his later years, and his disciples died young due to illness, resulting in the loss of the Nameless Sword Technique.

Murong Fu felt his pride being completely trampled underfoot as Wang Yuyan pointed her sword at him. He drew his sword and said, "Cousin, I am very grateful for your guidance so many times. Since you want to have a sword fight, let me see how many sword techniques you have practiced over the years."

“I won’t let you down!”

"laugh!"

A flash of sword light, and the white ribbon fell to the ground.

To sever ties and break off relations.

To personally put an end to the dreams of my youth.

When Wang Yuyan first fell in love, she only had one man of similar age by her side, Murong Fu. Murong Fu was handsome and highly skilled in martial arts, and was indeed very attractive.

About six or seven years ago, Yu Luosha, the leader of the Demonic Sect, came to Suzhou on business. She met Wang Yuyan by chance, taught her martial arts, and gradually trained Wang Yuyan to become the fourth princess of the Demonic Sect.

Even after becoming the princess of the Demonic Sect, the most outstanding man of her age that Wang Yuyan had ever met was still Murong Fu. She thought about helping Murong Fu restore the Great Yan Dynasty. Last year, Duan Yu and Kumachi accidentally entered the Mantuo Manor. Wang Yuyan took the opportunity to leave home, experience the world, and see a wider world and even more outstanding men.

Wang Yuyan's maternal grandmother was Li Qiushui, and her mother was Li Qingluo, both of whom were notorious madwomen. As the descendant of two madwomen, Wang Yuyan possessed an innate madness and demonic nature. Otherwise, why would Yu Luosha have taken Wang Yuyan as her disciple? What Yu Luosha valued was not Wang Yuyan's super memory, but her demonic nature.

Wang Yuyan has always concealed her demonic nature.

Until now.

Until one can no longer tolerate it.

Until the devastating explosion.

"boom!"

The roof was pierced by the sword energy, leaving a large hole. Wang Yuyan leaped into the air and then quickly descended, using a sword technique that was 60% similar to the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens. One sword flew like an immortal, and the other fell like seven stars, simultaneously stabbing at seven vital points.

Mount Tai Sword Technique - Seven Stars Falling from the Sky!
The sword flashed, and the longsword hummed. The sword energy enveloped seven acupoints on Murong Fu's chest: Tanzhong, Shencang, Lingxu, Shenfeng, Bulang, Youmen, and Tonggu. The sword tip was unpredictable, and no one could predict where it would land.

Damn the Spurs!
The unparalleled skills of Loma that allowed him to dominate the world.

If Murong Fu retreats to dodge, Wang Yuyan will definitely seize the opportunity to launch a preemptive attack, her swordsmanship becoming faster and faster, using the Five Mountains Convergence Sword Technique to lock down Murong Fu's retreat.

A glint flashed in Murong Fu's eyes.

Recently, under Murong Bo's guidance, Murong Fu has solidified his foundation and diligently practiced the "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" technique, making great progress in his martial arts. He has completely abandoned flashy moves, leaving only three or five sets of desperate and powerful techniques.

The gleaming green sword light pierced towards Wang Yuyan.

Dragon City Sword Technique.

The ancestral sword technique of the Murong family of Gusu.

The attacks flowed continuously, like flowing clouds and water. In an instant, his entire body was enveloped in a curtain of light, and with a series of clanging sounds, all the sword energy was blocked.

Murong Fu flipped his wrist, switching from defense to offense, and thrust his sword at Wang Yuyan. He thought to himself that even if he offended Wang Yuyan to death today, he could not lose to her, otherwise the name of Murong of Gusu would probably fall into the mud.

Wang Yuyan made calculations by her ear with her left hand, while her right hand pointed her soft sword at Murong Fu's chest. The soft sword moved like a dragon, bouncing up, down, left, and right, aiming at Murong Fu's vital points.

Murong Fu was suspicious and dared not launch a preemptive attack.

Wang Yuyan's method was purely deceptive. The soft sword's movements seemed chaotic, and in fact, they were indeed chaotic. The more skilled a swordsman was, the more solid their foundation, and the easier it was for them to be fooled by such unorthodox swordsmanship.

If she is momentarily stunned, Wang Yuyan can deduce the opponent's attack pattern, reduce the calculation formula of "How is Mount Tai?" by 90%, and only calculate the enemy's next move, then parry with her sword and stab with her sword.

If Murong Fu were to charge forward recklessly and thrust his sword at Wang Yuyan's chest and abdomen, Wang Yuyan would inevitably change her tactics.

However, Murong Fu was intimidated by Wang Yuyan and mistakenly thought it was some kind of strange move. When he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Kumārajīva's brows were furrowed, and he obviously could not see through the sword technique. This made Murong Fu even more convinced and he dared not attack rashly.

What was supposed to be a fierce sword duel turned into a series of circles around the pillar, like an ox pushing a millstone. Murong Fu remained cautious and dared not advance, while Wang Yuyan recalled the Dragon City Sword Technique and deduced its variations.

Suddenly!

Wang Yuyan swung her sword and stabbed at Murong Fu's chest.

Murong Fu swung his sword to parry, but forgot that Wang Yuyan was using a soft sword, which was least afraid of being parried.

Wang Yuyan flipped her wrist, changing her thrust into a slap. The soft sword slapped against the blade, then curved downwards, tracing an arc like a serpent's tail, aiming for Murong Fu's chest. Murong Fu concentrated his energy and activated the Star Shift technique. Two soft clangs were heard as the sword rebounded. Wang Yuyan then changed her move, her sword energy as fine and dense as autumn wind and rain.

Water-Splitting Sword Technique!

Autumn winds and rains bring sorrow!
Murong Fu swung his sword vertically, like a long spear or halberd, cleaving through the clouds with a single strike. He then swung his sword again. No matter how varied Wang Yuyan's swordsmanship was, as long as Murong Fu swung his sword horizontally or vertically, Wang Yuyan would inevitably change her moves to defend.

Even Li Zhaoting found it strange.

Wang Yuyan's swordsmanship is flashy and frivolous.

Murong Fu's swordsmanship was fierce and decisive.

What's happening here?
Murong Fu's changes are too drastic.

The two fought back and forth, battling their way from the main hall to the back garden. Maids and servants surrounded them, and even Bao Butong, who was locked in his room, poked his head out.

Bao Butong groaned twice, signaling Abi to release his pressure points, and quickly asked, "What happened? Why does Miss Wang know martial arts? Why are Miss Wang and the young master fighting? Could it be that a thief instigated this?"

The servant explained, "What thief? Murong Fu is the biggest thief! Murong Fu wants to marry my young lady to Li Zhaoting, hehe! Bao Butong, you understand this better than I do!"

Bao Butong was speechless for a moment.

Given Bao Butong's personality, even if the sky were to collapse and the earth to crumble, he would still say "No, no," and then raise his fist to teach the servant a lesson.

Right now, I simply can't. I want to swear, but I can't open my mouth!
I want to hit someone, but I can't lift my hand!

What can Bao Butong say?
How can one say such things as criticizing Li Zhaoting for being a philanderer or Wang Yuyan for being inconsiderate?

Wang Yuyan is Murong Fu's cousin, not his biological sister, and not a member of the Murong family. Murong Fu is not qualified to use Wang Yuyan for a marriage alliance with outsiders.

Not to mention that in the eyes of the four powerful ministers, Murong Fu was the Emperor of Yan and Wang Yuyan was the Empress of Yan.

"I'm fucking...useless!"

Bao Butong raised his hand and slapped himself, spitting out two teeth, too ashamed to face anyone.

Because of Li Qingluo's influence, the maids and servants of Mantuo Manor have always looked down on Murong of Gusu, and especially despise Bao Butong for his foul mouth. Seeing Bao Butong wanting to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, they were overjoyed: "Young Master Murong meant well. My young lady is a beauty of unparalleled grace. Apart from someone like Young Master Li, who else could be worthy of her?"

Bao Butong scoffed, "No, no! Li Zhaoting is a womanizer with beautiful wives and concubines at home. If Miss Wang marries into the Li family, she can only be Li Zhaoting's concubine. What beauty and erudition? In the end, she'll just be a concubine who kowtows and serves tea to the mistress. What joy is there in that? Li Zhaoting's one penis can't take care of so many people!"

The servant sneered, "It's much better than following a good-for-nothing who's almost thirty! Murong of Gusu, what a prestigious name. I wonder if he can defeat Gu Jianhun?"

The Ancient Sword Soul is a taboo in Bao Butong's heart.

Upon hearing this, Bao Butong flew into a rage, grabbed the servant, and shouted, "Third Master Bao never lowers himself to the level of maids and servants, but you are the only exception!"

The servant scoffed, "You, surnamed Bao, the entire Murong family of Gusu is a bunch of good-for-nothings. If you're angry, go vent it on Gu Jianhun. What kind of skill is it to bully me!"

"I'm going to teach you about respect and hierarchy!"

"Distinguishing between superiors and inferiors? Others have the right to do so, but you, Bao Butong, do not. If you understood the difference between superiors and inferiors and knew how to be careful with your words and actions, how could Young Master Murong not have made a single friend? How could you always be a lone commander?"

"Boy, you are courting death!"

"Bao Butong, Grandpa is waiting here. If you don't kill me today, your father will be mine to raise!"

The servant stared back at Bao Butong without flinching.

How could a mere servant have such courage?

It was entirely because Li Shengnan was giving him pointers from behind.

When Li Shengnan learned about the banquet, she lost the bet and was furious. She took her anger out on Murong Fu's subordinates and happened to find Bao Butong.

The two were arguing loudly, and half the manor could hear them clearly. Murong Fu became angrier the more he listened, while Wang Yuyan remained calm and composed, and her moves became increasingly exquisite and fluid.

One hundred moves, two hundred moves, three hundred moves...

The two unleashed their unique skills, their sword energy forming two large halos, one blue and one white. Murong Fu displayed composure to the extreme, firmly guarding his own defenses, while Wang Yuyan's swordsmanship was fluid and exquisite, occasionally throwing out unexpected thrusts that made Murong Fu tremble with fear.

Wang Yuyan's skill level was higher than Murong Fu's, but she lacked combat experience. Murong Fu used the "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" technique to guard his defenses and the "Longcheng Sword Technique" to protect himself. No matter how many tricks Wang Yuyan used, she could not break through her defenses.

If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it.

Murong Fu knew he couldn't keep taking hits. After fighting for over three hundred moves, he seized an opportunity and unleashed his finger strike.

Canhezhi!
In 395 AD, Emperor Daowu of Northern Wei, Tuoba Gui, decisively defeated the 80,000-strong army of Later Yan at Canhebei, severing 90% of Later Yan's fate. The Later Yan army suffered heavy losses. Seeing the battlefield piled high with corpses and countless bones, Murong Chui, the pillar of the Murong clan, vomited three liters of blood and died of depression.

To ensure that the descendants of the Murong clan would remember this crushing defeat, they created the Canhe Finger technique as a family martial art.

Murong Fu did not practice the Canhe Finger much. It was not until Murong Bo pointed it out to him that Murong Fu began to take this family martial art seriously. He had never used the Canhe Finger before, and no one knew that Murong Fu had hidden this deadly finger technique.

"laugh!"

He pointed his finger at Wang Yuyan's shoulder.

Wang Yuyan released her soft sword, then used the Cloud Dragon Three-Fold Body Technique to nimbly dodge the finger strike. She then formed her hands into sharp claws and grabbed at Murong Fu's ribs.

One claw, two claws, three claws...

Murong Fu was in grave danger after being attacked.

Murong Fu never expected that after finally getting Wang Yuyan to let go of her sword, he would end up in danger.

What kind of claw technique is this?
How come I've never seen this before?
She kept this claw technique from me; it seems my cousin had ulterior motives all along. What kind of childhood sweetheart is this?
Lan Fenghuang asked in a low voice, "Li Lang, what kind of claw technique did Wang Yuyan use? It has such strong demonic power!"

"The Vajra Indestructible Great Divine Hand is one of the most insidious and vicious grappling techniques of the Demonic Cult. Those who are hit by it will feel as if evil spirits are crawling out from under their skin, and will experience unbearable pain all over their body. In the extreme pain, they will feel as if their entire human skin has been torn off."

"So cruel?"

"If it's not cruel, how could it be a demonic cult?"

"Does Li Shengnan know this claw technique?"

"meeting!"

"Does Li Lang know how to break this?"

"No, I will only fight fire with fire. If she grabs me, my ribs will break and I will be seriously injured. If I stab her, her internal organs will be shattered and she will die without a doubt!"

"Li Lang is truly a scoundrel!"

"In a life-or-death battle, there's no such thing as countering moves. It's all about who's faster, more ruthless, and more explosive. Countering moves is meaningless; exchanging injuries is the only way."

"If it were me, how would I handle it?"

"Let's fight Li Shengnan with the Golden Silkworm Gu."

"Where's my sister?"

"Suzhen can play the Demon-Subduing Qin, not giving anyone a chance to get close. She uses her sonic power to compete with Li Shengnan in terms of true energy, to see whose foundation is superior."

Just as the two were talking, Wang Yuyan snatched the sword from Murong Fu's hand with one claw, and then her left claw slashed through Murong Fu's sleeve, tearing off half of the sleeve.

The sleeves of her clothes slowly drifted down to the ground.

Severing ties and severing all ties, all grudges and debts are settled.

"From today onwards, we are strangers. You pursue your great cause, and I will go and roam the world freely."

Wang Yuyan leaped onto the small boat at the dock, propelled it with her inner energy, and disappeared into the lotus forest.

Li Zhaoting awkwardly pointed to himself, looked left at Li Qingluo and right at Kumārajīva, and thought to himself, "You invited me to this banquet just so I could watch you fight?"
Kumārajīva forced an awkward smile.

Li Qingluo's face turned ashen.

Murong Fu lost the sword duel and wanted to leave, but Deng Baichuan grabbed him and said, "Now that things have come to this, we have paid such a high price, we absolutely cannot leave in vain."

Whether there are dates or not, we'll hit the bullseye three times.

Even if it's just to get acquainted with Li Zhaoting, they want to establish a relationship with him. Who came up with this plan? This guy is so short-sighted, is he out of his mind?
