Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 28 Ye Erniang, cut into pieces with a thousand swords, fell into the nose forever

Yue Laosan and Ye Erniang arrived just in time.

They were discussing matters in the woods when they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, so Yun Zhonghe went out to investigate.

Unexpectedly, Yun Zhonghe, who possessed superb lightness skills, was instantly killed by Li Zhaoting in one move, and died a gruesome death.

Upon seeing Yun Zhonghe's mutilated corpse, Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.

Li Zhaoting's swordsmanship is terrifying!

With Yun Zhonghe's lightness skill, even Duan Yanqing would have a hard time defeating him, but in Li Zhaoting's hands, Yun Zhonghe was powerless to resist and as fragile as duckweed.

What terrifying swordsmanship!

Even if all four villains came together, they might not be able to win!
If we don't retreat now, are we here to avenge Yun Zhonghe?
Want a refund?

How could we possibly ask them to back out?

Apart from Duan Yanqing, the "Four Evils" are all truly wicked and evil people who have committed numerous evil deeds.

Yue Laosan was capricious and prone to killing; Yun Zhonghe was a womanizer who ruined people's reputations; Ye Erniang enjoyed killing infants, and thousands of infants died at her hands.

How can such wicked and treacherous officials be let off the hook?
I'm going to kill Yue Laosan!

I'm determined to kill Ye Erniang too!

Even the King of Heaven can't save you!

"Ye Erniang, Yue Laosan, atone for your past sins! The underworld has prepared a cauldron of boiling oil!"

"Go to hell! I'm Yue Lao Er! Don't be so arrogant, pretty boy! Watch me break your neck!"

Yue Laosan was skilled in grappling techniques, and his most frequently used martial art was to snap the enemy's neck. His weapon was a pair of crocodile-mouth shaped scissors called "crocodile mouth scissors".

Yue Laosan was fierce, cruel, and violent. Seeing Li Zhaoting rushing towards him, he brandished his alligator scissors to fight back.

Li Zhaoting flashed past Yue Laosan like a black bird skimming across the sand. With his left hand, he swept down like a dragon soaring through the heavens, grabbing Yue Laosan's wrist.

Just as Yue Laosan was about to retaliate, Li Zhaoting gently brushed his Shenmen acupoint with his ring and little fingers, causing half of his arm to lose strength, leaving him at Li Zhaoting's mercy.

Li Zhaoting's left hand moved upwards, his thumb, index finger, and middle finger forming a dragon claw. His internal energy shifted from a balance of softness and strength to extreme yang and hardness, and he grabbed along the wrist bone.

With a series of "crackling" sounds, Yue Laosan's right arm bones, as soft as candy, were snapped inch by inch by Li Zhaoting's sharp claws, and hung limply down.

With a successful strike, he followed up with a double claw attack.

Li Zhaoting moved swiftly, his body swirling, and his left hand reached out again, grabbing Yue Laosan's crocodile-mouth scissors. With a move called "White Crane Spreads Wings," the sharp blade made an upward circular reverse slash.

"Crack!"

Bones cracked, and blood rained down.

Yue Laosan's left arm flew into the air.

In the blink of an eye, Li Zhaoting crippled Yue Laosan's fierce and ruthless claws, leaving one limp like a rotten eggplant and the other severed at the shoulder.

Li Zhaoting spun around again, grabbed Yue Laosan's head with his left hand and flipped him over, then twisted his wrist sharply to the left, making his head rotate more than half a circle.

"Pfft!"

Yue Laosan's body lay on the ground.

His neck was broken by Li Zhaoting.

He talked a lot, but it only lasted three or four seconds.

From the moment Li Zhaoting suddenly killed Yun Zhonghe to the moment he snapped Yue Laosan's neck, only six or seven seconds passed, leaving Ye Erniang stunned.

So shocked was he that he even forgot to run away.

It wasn't until Li Zhaoting, carrying the Purple Rose Soft Sword, walked step by step toward Ye Erniang that Ye Erniang awoke from her dream.

Having killed two people, Li Zhaoting's killing intent and murderous aura reached their peak, almost solidifying into a tangible form. His godlike and demonic aura made people feel a heavy weight on their shoulders, as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, and their legs went weak, causing them to involuntarily bend their knees and kneel down. His twin swords, which were as fast as lightning, and the true energy he had cultivated for many years, could not be used at all at this moment.

Li Zhaoting walks very slowly.

Every step felt like stepping on Ye Erniang's heart.

Ye Erniang felt as if her heart was being pounded by eighty hammers again and again, her internal organs were wracked with unbearable pain, and every cell and nerve was telling of the pain.

It felt like being bound and thrown into a deep well, like being crushed by a giant mountain, like being trampled by an elephant, like being skinned and dismembered. In a daze, I felt my soul leave my body, and time seemed to slow down. I could clearly see the purple sword light.

I saw the purple sword light cutting through my body.

I saw pieces of flesh blooming into red flowers.

The sword light unfolded layer upon layer like flower petals. As Li Zhaoting made his move, the sword energy gathered into fine threads, weaving into a large purple net that enveloped Ye Erniang.

A comprehensive, all-encompassing network.

The moves I created when dealing with Mu Teikage.

It can be used to bind enemies, or to shrink the sword energy net and cut the enemy into a thousand pieces!

This method of killing is extremely cruel, and long-term use will breed resentment and cause the mind to fall into demonic possession.

It's not appropriate to deal with others.

This is perfect for dealing with Ye Erniang.

Ye Erniang has been in the business for over twenty years. Almost every day, she would snatch a child, play with them until she was done, and then kill them. In total, thousands of children have suffered at her hands.

A human life is worth one cut, even two cuts wouldn't be enough. Cutting her only once is too lenient!

"Crack!"

The sword net shrinks, revealing a riot of colors.

"Kakaka!"

Purple light flashed wildly, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

When Li Zhaoting stopped, there was no Ye Erniang left, only a skeleton.

"Qiang!"

The Purple Rose Soft Sword returned to its sheath with satisfaction.

The divine weapon possesses a spirit.

The Purple Rose Soft Sword was originally a divine weapon that was light, elegant, and pursued change. However, it accidentally injured a righteous man and was abandoned by Dugu Qiubai in a deep valley. The sword's heart changed from then on.

If the master of war is doing righteous deeds of upholding justice and punishing wicked people, and is firmly committed to chivalry from the bottom of his heart, the Purple Soft Sword will respond enthusiastically, and his moves will be as easy as his own limbs.

If the master of war is engaging in treacherous, vicious, and treacherous acts, driven by greed, then the Purple Soft Sword, a divine weapon, is worthless and no better than a piece of iron.

The sword cannot judge good or evil.

The Lord of War is capable.

You can fool others, but you can't fool your own heart.

Previously, when Li Zhaoting caused a great disturbance in the Chang Le Gang, he broke off a piece of green bamboo to use as a weapon, not to eliminate evil.

Facing treacherous villains like Mu Tieying, Yun Zhonghe, Ye Erniang, and Yue Laosan, Li Zhaoting's inner resolve to eradicate evil surged forth, uniting him and his sword, amplifying his power. What Li Zhaoting used to kill Ye Erniang was… his swordsmanship!
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a lawless band of sand bandits in the western desert called the "Wind Riders." They were all skilled archers and horsemen, and were adept at using two curved swords.

The Wind Riders can slice their enemies into skeletons in an instant, their swordsmanship as fast as lightning.

Many masters with profound internal strength and exquisite moves are often ambushed by them using sand escape techniques. In one exchange, their hands and feet are crippled, and they die a miserable and humiliating death in the desert.

During the Wu Zhou period, the Wind Riders surrendered to the Turks and were wiped out by Di Renjie's scheme. Only a few survivors remained, and some of their lineage has been passed down to the present day.

Occasionally, skilled butchers appear in the Western Regions, often using the knife to dissect and debone oxen. Most of these butchers are descendants of wind riders and often use chefs as a cover for their identities.

In terms of deboning, none can surpass it.

Li Zhaoting was not the executioner.

It's impossible to cut continuously for three days and three nights.

Ye Erniang felt that time was slow because Li Zhaoting's mental pressure was too terrifying, interfering with her mental perception, causing her to become confused and hallucinate.

In an instant, three of the four villains died.

Feng Suzhen looked at Li Zhaoting in surprise.

In Feng Suzhen's mind, Li Zhaoting was a chivalrous knight who hated evil and showed no mercy to villains, but this was the first time in her life that he had ever made such a ruthless move.

Li Zhaoting explained, "The three of them are the infamous 'Four Evils.' The skinny one is named Yun Zhonghe, a notorious womanizer who has committed numerous evils."

The one who uses large scissors is named Yue Laosan. He is violent and enjoys killing. If you say something that displeases him, he will snap your neck or cut off your head.

The woman's name was Ye Erniang. Every morning she would steal a child, play with them until evening, and then cruelly murder them.

Ye Erniang has been in the entertainment industry for over twenty years.

"Count them, how many children are there?"

Li Zhaoting struck with extreme force, leaving Ye Erniang and the others without any complete corpses. Their bodies were covered in blood, and the stench was overwhelming, resembling a blood-soaked hell that made people instinctively want to vomit.

Upon hearing Li Zhaoting's words, Feng Suzhen felt that this place was not the Blood Pool Hell, but the Avici Hell.

Ye Erniang, such a wicked and evil person, should go to the deepest hell and never be reincarnated.

In fact, Li Zhaoting originally intended to escort Ye Erniang to Shaolin Temple to recount Xuanci's great achievements, but the atmosphere was just right, and he went a little too far.

Li Zhaoting unleashed several palm strikes to gather up the surrounding bloodstains, so as not to disturb passing tourists.

With a snap of his fingers, he carved a piece of wood and inscribed: "Li Zhaoting beheaded Ye Erniang, Yue Laosan, and Yun Zhonghe here!"

Having finished all that, I was just about to leave.

A commotion came from the woods.

A handsome young man was seen pulling a beautiful young woman along as they ran away, with several people chasing after them.

Duan Yu? Mu Wanqing? Fisherman, woodcutter, farmer, and scholar?

Li Zhaoting immediately recognized the identities of the group.

At the same time, clarify the current "plot".

Yue Laosan wanted to force Duan Yu to become his disciple, so he used Mu Wanqing as a threat. When Duan Yu went to rescue her, he accidentally entered the Wuliang Jade Cave and learned the Xiaoyao martial arts.

After completing his studies, Duan Yu rushed to rescue the people. Just then, Yu, Qiao, Geng, and Du arrived and wanted to take Duan Yu home.

Duan Yu didn't want to go home, so he ran away quickly.

The opportunity presented by Wuliang Jade Cave is truly remarkable.

The Manggu Toad, immune to all poisons.

The Northern Darkness Divine Art, which absorbs people's true energy.

The Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) allows for endless dodging.

Duan Yu was a novice in the art, but he managed to absorb several disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect by relying on the Beiming Divine Skill. In addition, his movement speed was extremely fast because it was perfectly combined with the Lingbo Weibu (Lingbo Steps).

Lightness skill can be divided into four main aspects.

Melee dodge;

Long-distance raid;
Short sprint;
Crossing mountains and ridges;

While Lingbo Weibu (凌波微步) is neither the fastest sprinter nor the most suitable for scaling walls, it ranks among the top three in the martial arts world for dodging and long-distance raids.

Even if a master who doesn't understand the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, and lacks absolute martial arts sense, has ten times the skill of Duan Yu and possesses exquisite moves, he still can't touch the hem of Duan Yu's clothes.

During long-distance raids, the Lingbo Weibu technique allows Duan Yu to recover his true energy while running. As long as Duan Yu's stamina can support him, traveling a thousand miles a day is a piece of cake.

In addition, the movement path of Lingbo Weibu is not a straight line like an arrow, but an arc. The complete Lingbo Weibu movement is actually "running in circles".

From beginning to end, it forms a large circle.

The prerequisite for entering the Lingbo Weibu (凌波微步) technique is mastery of the I Ching (易经).

Coincidentally, some time ago, Duan Yu became obsessed with the I Ching and Bagua, studying it day and night. With his wholehearted dedication, he mastered it in a short period of time.

The four retainers—fisherman, woodcutter, farmer, and scholar—rushed forward, but Duan Yu, holding Mu Wanqing's hand, easily broke through the encirclement with his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), ready to roam the martial world freely.

"Clap!"

Li Zhaoting stood in front of Duan Yu.

Duan Yu tried to avoid it, but Li Zhaoting was also well-versed in the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams. No matter how Duan Yu dodged and weaved, his steps sometimes forward and sometimes backward, he could always block Duan Yu's path.

"Young master, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"There are four...four..."

If it were a wandering swordsman, he would definitely say, "There are four bandits chasing me." Duan Yu is not good at lying, and he would never call fishermen, woodcutters, farmers, and scholars "bandits."

When the words were about to come out, he hesitated and stammered.

Mu Wanqing shouted angrily, "Get out of the way!"

He raised his left hand and shot out a hidden arrow.

Li Zhaoting unfolded his folding fan, revealing a hidden device within his sleeve. He then concealed the hidden dart. Zhu Danchen loudly proclaimed, "I am Zhu Danchen, a guard of the Dali Imperial Palace. I am not a bandit. I merely wish to invite the Prince of Zhennan home. I request your assistance, young master. Once the Prince of Zhennan returns home, the Prince of Zhennan will surely reward you handsomely!"

Duan Yu stopped walking with a wry smile.

Zhu Danchen's words were both a request for help and a piece of advice to Duan Yu: You are the heir of the Prince of Zhennan and also the crown prince of Dali. You can be willful, but you can't go too far.

"May I ask your esteemed name, sir?"

Since he had to go home, instead of thinking about how to escape the life of a fisherman, woodcutter, farmer, and scholar, he should first befriend Li Zhaoting.

Li Zhaoting had a friendly appearance and looked like a well-read scholar who had traveled the world. The fierce murderous intent he had just displayed had long since dissipated.

"Li Zhaoting, courtesy name Buyi."

Li Zhaoting returned the greeting with a cupped hand.
