Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 274 Li Zhaoting, my good brother, I really didn't betray you...

Anyone who's been around the block knows that the elderly, women, and disabled people are the most dangerous to mess with, especially old dwarfs.

Dwarfs have short limbs, are small and weak, and are at a significant disadvantage in martial arts competitions. If they can live to seventy, they must either have profound martial arts skills or be proficient in poisons and hidden weapons.

Miss Wang thought so too.

Facing three strangely dressed, menacing old dwarfs with the air of long-standing high positions, he launched a fierce attack. The Overlord Spear stirred up a whirlwind, carrying the overwhelming power of the Overlord God to slam into Jiao Jianghun.

Jiao Jianghun is skilled in claw techniques. His pair of sharp claws are coated with a deadly poison that can kill instantly. If an ordinary person fights him, they will immediately lose their strength as soon as their skin is scratched by his claws.

Before the battle began, Jiao Jianghun thought he could use his lightness skill to get close to Miss Wang and engage in close combat, making it inconvenient for him to use the Overlord Spear. Then he grabbed her throat with a claw.

After the war started, Jiao Jianghun realized that he had been thinking too much. An inch longer means an inch stronger. Why should he let you close the distance? How could he close the distance?

This is not a naval battle!
We can't bring the boat alongside!
Miss Wang inherited all of Wu Yazi's skills, and with her innate superhuman strength and vigorous blood and qi, the force generated when she swung her spear made Jiao Jianghun unsteady on his feet.

How can one perform light-footed kung fu if they can't stand steadily?

Before Jiao Jianghun could unleash the poisonous mist, the Overlord Spear had already landed on his head. With a crack, Jiao Jianghun's short body shattered into a cloud of blood mist, and severed limbs and broken bones shot towards the other two. Miss Wang felt a surge of pleasure as she landed her blow, her blood and qi flowing like molten lava.

"call!"

The Overlord Spear was swung like a windmill, delivering a powerful and heavy sweeping blow that struck Yu Baixi's waist and ribs.

Yu Baixi was horrified and wanted to run away, but found that the Overlord Spear was following her like a shadow. She had nowhere to retreat and was willing to trade her life for his. How could her small arms and legs cross the ten-foot-long Overlord Spear and attack Miss Wang?
When the Northern Darkness Divine Art is practiced to a high level, it can automatically form a protective aura. Even when the user is unconscious, it can mitigate most of the damage if attacked.

Poison resistance is maxed out.

Even with Ding Chunqiu's level of poison skills, one could only pray to God to protect Miss Wang if they wanted to harm her.

"boom!"

Yu Baixi was cut in half at the waist, but the Overlord Spear's speed did not decrease at all; its power increased by two or three points, making it easier and more effortless than a car driving over a speed bump.

Fei Lianhuan could no longer continue his attack. He retreated several steps with all his might, rolling around like a lazy donkey to avoid Miss Wang's blow. He gave a bitter laugh, pulled a dagger from his sleeve, and plunged it into his own throat.

Since death is inevitable, I might as well ask for a complete corpse.

The Overlord Spear is incredibly powerful.

A mere graze will injure you, a single touch will kill you; a casual sweeping move can blast your enemy into a bloody mist.

Diligent study and hard training, exchanging injuries for injuries, fighting to the death, and the ferocity of pirates all became insignificant, and they couldn't even beg for mercy.

Fei Lianhuan, a ruthless man who had killed countless people and worked as a pirate for decades, was so frightened by Miss Wang's two moves that he lost his will to resist, dared not escape, and dared not fight back.

The only thing he could do was to commit suicide before Miss Wang could stab him in the chest with her gun, so that at least he could leave behind a complete corpse and not be blasted into a bloody mist.

Miss Wang reluctantly put away her gun.

"Judging by their attire, I thought they were wicked old devils who could fight me for three hundred rounds, but they were down in just two moves. What a waste!"

"The Overlord Spear emphasizes strength, momentum, and courage. You are born with superhuman strength and have a fierce personality, but your internal strength is relatively weak. Once you make up for your weakness in internal strength, even if I want to defeat your Overlord Spear, it will take me sixty or seventy moves."

"That's because my husband is gentle and considerate, and he can't bear to hurt me. He only wants to win by using his skills."

"Anyone with a brain would never use a soft sword to fight a powerful spear head-on. Besides, I like to use my full strength against you, haven't you noticed?"

"Hmm~ Don't corrupt the children!"

He fainted from fright.

The eaglet's eyes rolled back, and it collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

He could tell that Li Zhaoting was a top expert, but he never expected that his sister, who seemed carefree, cheerful, and very funny, would pick up a twelve-foot-long spear and blast a person into a bloody mist with one shot, leaving broken bones all over the ground.

Young Eagle was no ordinary man. He had followed his father to evade assassins since childhood, but he had never seen such explosive and ferocious gunmanship before, and he fainted on the spot.

In fact, Miss Wang held back.

The Overlord Spear is a weapon used on the battlefield.

Charging into battle, they routed thousands of troops and were invincible.

Imagine thousands of troops fighting each other, enemies everywhere you look, sweeping across the battlefield with guns in hand. This isn't harvesting wheat, it's a "steamroller".

When the Overlord Spear charges at full power, it's like a tank crushing everything in its path; who would dare to directly confront its might?
If Miss Wang were to unleash her full power, this tiny shop would be reduced to ruins with a single shot, and the pigsty and vegetable patch in the backyard would be overturned as well.

The way to deal with the Overlord Spear is to prevent it from charging up and to interrupt its momentum.

Miss Wang isn't afraid of being interrupted.

She can use the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to dodge attacks and, by utilizing its characteristics, continuously accumulate power. She only needs to run two laps to build up a surge of power.

"Uncle Qin, you're always lazy, but you need to be more diligent today and clean up these corpses."

"Thank you... thank you so much, hero!"

"There's one more thing. Spread the word that I've arrived at Medicine King Valley. Tell He Yu that whatever He Yu wants to do, he has to get past me first!"

Li Zhaoting got up and prepared to leave the inn.

Who do you think you are? Leave your name!

A poor old man in his forties or fifties, dressed plainly, appeared outside the inn, carrying a string of gold skulls. His name was Jin Shanhe, and his names in the martial arts world were Jin Wuchang, Jin Buda, and Jin Shaxing. He was a famous assassin in the martial arts world ten years ago. He was recruited by He Yu and enjoyed himself overseas for ten years, never setting foot in the Central Plains.

Martial arts skills are the foundation of an assassin.

Jin Wuchang (a legendary figure known for his drinking and pleasure-seeking) would not overdo it.

His martial arts skills not only didn't decline, but actually became stronger. He dressed like a poor scholar, but he didn't know a single word. Of all his nicknames, his favorite was "Jin Buda" (meaning "Invincible Jin"). He didn't fight people, he only killed them.

Kill anyone who poses a threat to He Yu.

He is He Yu's number one mad dog!

Jin Wuchang did not recognize Li Zhaoting, nor had he seen Li Zhaoting use force. Upon hearing Li Zhaoting's arrogant words, he immediately mocked him and said he would use Li Zhaoting's life as a sacrifice for the flag.

Upon seeing Jin Wuchang, Uncle Qin was taken aback at first, but then he put away the body with peace of mind. Jin Wuchang had no idea who he had offended. How dare a little imp like Wuchang offend the Grand Duke Jupiter? He really had a death wish!
Miss Wang was eager to make a move.

Li Zhaoting grabbed Miss Wang's hand: "I need him to help deliver a message, you can't kill him."

Miss Wang pouted and withdrew.

That evening, he demanded compensation from Li Zhaoting.

Li Zhaoting laughed and said, "Listen carefully, I will cut off your right arm with one sword. I will only make one move."

"Hmph! Arrogant and conceited, he'll die..."

Jin Wuchang suddenly rushed towards Li Zhaoting.

He never intended to finish his sentence.

Distracting attention is a killer's specialty, and the gleaming golden skull is a way to do just that!
A sneak attack is an assassin's instinct. He said half a sentence to attract Li Zhaoting's attention, and then drew his sword from his waist.

Soft sword!

A soft sword as fast as lightning!
The sword light flashed past.

An arm flew into the air.

Jin Wuchang first felt a lightness in his body, then felt pain, followed by a gush of blood. Jin Wuchang fell to the ground with a wail, his face full of despair.

"Remember to pass on this message for me!"

Li Zhaoting helped Miss Wang leave the inn.

Jin Wuchang pleaded, "Sha... Sha Laoxie, please help me, tell me, who is he?"

Qin Bo's real name is Sha Yisha, nicknamed Sha Laoxie. He is the deputy leader of the Qianjing Gang. When He Yu annexed the Qianjing Gang, Sha Yisha disagreed with joining the Haimo Sect. He killed the gang leader who led the surrender, released the most important criminal whom He Yu had secretly imprisoned, and led the criminal to sneak into Yaowang Valley.

The criminal's name was Peng Daying, nicknamed Peng Laodu (Old Poison Peng). He was skilled in detoxification and was wealthy. He Yu wanted to force him to reveal the secret formula for detoxification and his money, so he secretly imprisoned him.

Sha Yisha rescued Peng Daying, and He Yu lost not only money, but also the life of his beloved. Peng Daying had the ability to heal the wound that He Yu cherished most in his life.

He Yu deeply resented the two, but their hiding skills were truly superb, and they had remained hidden until now.

Qinbo sneered, "Who is he? He is the most famous and skilled swordsman in the Central Plains, a prodigy whose presence is always followed by rivers of blood." Qinbo pointed to the shattered corpses scattered on the ground.

"What's his name?"

“Li Zhaoting! He Yu is getting worse and worse. He knows too little about the Central Plains martial arts world. If it were the old He Yu, he would definitely be fully prepared.”

"Thank you very much..."

Jin Wuchang struggled to leave.

Uncle Qin did not stop him.

Jin Wuchang is not the mad dog raised by He Yu.

He was Li Zhaoting's messenger.

You can die after you've delivered the message!
Uncle Qin tidied up the inn with a bitter face.

Miss Wang's moves were too fierce; Jiao Jianghun was shattered into dumpling filling, making the cleanup too much trouble.

Or... let's just burn the inn down!

Uncle Qin carried the three bandits' corpses out; they were worth one hundred taels of silver and needed to be preserved. Then he set fire to the inn, burning it to ashes.

……

Li Zhaoting saw an acquaintance in Butterfly City.

Tang Zhuquan.

Tang Zhuquan came to lend a hand. He was good friends with Xu Qiaozhi, the master of Medicine King Valley. Peng Daying, who was being chased by He Yu, was Tang Zhuquan's eighth aunt's fellow disciple.

Tang Zhuquan dared not disobey his aunt's orders in the slightest and carried them out obediently.

Tang Zhuquan was not afraid.

He saw Li Zhaoting.

With Li Zhaoting in charge, Tang Zhuquan would dare to venture into any kind of hell, even if it meant facing mountains of knives, seas of fire, or boiling oil.

"Fatty, tell me the details."

"This whole thing is a fucking mess!"

Tang Zhuquan took a big gulp of wine.

“You have plenty of time to tell me.”

"Sigh~ The story goes back to... I don't even know how many years ago, I just know it was a complete mess."

About thirty years ago, the Heavenly Mandate Sect cultivated a stunningly beautiful enchantress named Leng Biqiao.

Leng Biqiao's talent in seduction far surpasses that of Shan Yuru, the leader of the Heavenly Fate Cult. She actually used her seduction skills to seduce five senior Shaolin monks, who exhausted their life's energy to cleanse her marrow and use authentic Shaolin internal energy to help her achieve a state of unity between good and evil. The reason why Da Bei was alone and powerless was thanks to Leng Biqiao.

Leng Biqiao used her charm to cause trouble and create countless problems in the martial arts world. Even Shan Yuru couldn't do anything about her. Until more than ten years ago, Leng Biqiao fought with several mysterious masters and was poisoned by the Indian poison technique, the "Cliff-Flaming Snake Hand". To cure the snake venom, she needed to use the "Cliff-Flaming Snake Tail Grass" produced in the desolate western part of India.

Only two people possess this item.

One is Elder Shi Jiu of Medicine King Valley.

One is Peng Daying, who was imprisoned by He Yu.

It was impossible for the two of them to save Leng Biqiao.

Given Leng Biqiao's personality, once he recovers from his illness, he will surely kill the divine doctor to test whether his skills have been restored.

It's incurable, but there's a chance of survival.

Treating the sick and saving lives inevitably means certain death.

He Yu deeply loved Leng Biqiao and used rare and precious herbs from the Sea Demon Sect to treat her. Several years passed, and Leng Biqiao's life reached its limit, beyond the reach of medicine.

The other part is related to Zhao Tianjue.

Zhao Tianjue is the disciple of the reclusive master Bajue Shangren in Tianshan. Bajue Shangren is a master of martial arts. He once fought the Tianshan sect leader for three thousand rounds without a clear winner, and he also fought Dugu Yihe for three days and three nights. His most exciting battle was when he challenged Wei Qingqing, and he lasted for ten moves.

More than 20 years ago, Master Bajue and He Yu fought a life-or-death duel. Knowing that he was no match for Master Bajue, He Yu hid a poisoned dart in his palm, leaving him with a fatal internal injury.

Before his death, Master Bajue said that if Zhao Tianjue and Heizhima could not avenge him, the two of them could never become husband and wife. If they broke their vow, the secret manual that recorded all the knowledge he had learned in his life would be burned by Di Buping.

Di Buping, nicknamed "Drunken God of Tianshan", is the illegitimate son of the Eight Masters. He has extremely poor talent in martial arts and is unable to cultivate peerless martial arts. He is good at composing poems.

Black Sesame was an orphan raised by Master Bajue. She regarded Master Bajue as her own father and immediately swore that she would never marry if she could not avenge Master Bajue.

Zhao Tianjue had no choice but to endure it for the sake of the secret manual.

About three and a half years ago, Di Buping died, his entire family was murdered by villains, and the manor was burned to the ground.

At this point, Tang Zhuquan took a sip of wine.

"Do you think He Yu or Zhao Tianjue did this? To be honest, I don't think Zhao Tianjue is a good person. I really dislike him!"

After a pause, Tang Zhuquan continued, "In the past two months, Zhao Tianjue's most trusted right-hand men, including Black Sesame, have been inexplicably assassinated."

The combination of these two things is chilling!
This is fucking awkward!

I don't want to save that bastard Zhao Tianjue!

I'll only deal with He Yu!

Tang Zhuquan raised the Heavenly Dragon Trident: "Using the Sea Demon Sect's blood to sacrifice this divine weapon will not be in vain for your gift."

"A divine weapon is bestowed upon a hero. A generous and magnanimous hero like Master Tang is most suited to the Heavenly Dragon Trident. Someone like me, who makes up stories about my good friends to get free food and drink and sells information indiscriminately, can only tarnish the divine weapon."

Li Zhaoting looked at Tang Zhuquan with a cold smile.

Tang Zhuquan flashed a smile just like Spike's.

"Um... I really didn't mean to! They brought out some vintage wine, and they got me drunk! At most, it was just a drunken mistake, could you please go easy on me?"

Did they give you money?

"They didn't give us a single penny!"

"They're just going to force you to drink?"

"They...they..."

Tang Zhuquan covered his face in shame.

Why did you invite me to Baiyulou?

"Don't ask! You're my own uncle!"

Tang Zhuquan collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected.

He had a long-time lover at Baiyulou, who wasn't some stunning beauty, but rather a drinking queen. Tang Zhuquan could only win against her by relying on his appetite.

Tang Zhuquan loved to challenge people to drinking contests, and he would challenge others to drinking contests several times a year. Over time, the Tianji Pavilion discovered his whereabouts. Tang Zhuquan's physique was too obvious to hide, so it was difficult to bribe him. However, it was too easy to bribe his old flame. She could find an opportunity to get Tang Zhuquan drunk and take the opportunity to extract some gossip from him.

Extracting secrets makes you an easy target.

Getting gossip out of people is no problem.

It's just idle gossip and idle chatter!
"How much compensation will the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion give you?"

"Two years' worth of liquor money!"

"Wow! That's quite a grand gesture!"

Li Zhaoting gave a thumbs up: "Next time, help me get a reward, and we'll fabricate some more intelligence!"
