Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 291 Stone Guanyin: Have I violated the heavenly rules?
A long dragon of yellow sand rises from the desert.

Holding the gold ingot in his left hand, Li Zhaoting chased after the stone Guanyin, guided by the dog's nose. Human speed was naturally not as fast as that of a giant eagle, but there was no need to rush the chase.

As long as a dog's nose can detect a body odor, even if Shi Guanyin runs to the ends of the earth, Yuanbao will be able to pinpoint her location. Most importantly, Li Zhaoting, through the Beggars' Sect's network of connections, has managed to bring in an important ally.

The reinforcements that delivered the fatal blow to Shi Guanyin!

Shi Guanyin's operations in the desert for over a decade were not merely for a life of debauchery. She secretly cultivated a group of highly skilled and ruthless disciples, built a lair riddled with traps, raised giant eagles, constructed bamboo boats, and left behind the legend of the ghost ship in the desert. Shi Guanyin was confident that as long as she returned to her lair, she would be able to put up a fight.

With a giant eagle as its mount, the Stone Guanyin moved at an extremely fast speed.

Li Zhaoting was still chasing her halfway when she returned to her lair. Just as she was about to call her disciples, what she saw was not her apprentices, but rows of corpses.

The area outside the lair was neatly littered with corpses. All of Shi Guanyin's disciples, along with the men she had seduced who were now like walking corpses, were hanging outside the lair.

Some were strangled, some were stabbed in the throat, some had their arms and legs broken, and some died without a complete corpse.

It's clear that the murderer harbored extreme hatred.

Especially targeting Shi Guanyin's disciples.

Shi Guanyin counted the number of people and found that Qu Wurong, the most talented disciple of hers, was not there. She smiled slightly, already guessing who the murderer was, and said with a smile, "Wuyi, is it you who is back? You really are a pleasant surprise."

Shi Guanyin took in dozens of disciples, the two most outstanding being Wusi and Wuyi.

Wu Si was exceptionally beautiful and talented, which aroused the jealousy of Shi Guanyin. Shi Guanyin destroyed Wu Si's appearance, forcing Wu Si to live with a veil and renaming her Qu Wu Rong.

Qu Wurong has an extremely high talent for martial arts. Shi Guanyin was worried that she would one day turn against her, so when she taught martial arts, she taught Qu Wurong many crooked and inappropriate moves and suppressed her a lot.

About eighteen years ago, Shi Guanyin took a liking to Qu Wurong, who was still an infant, and killed Qu Wurong's entire family. She claimed to the outside world that Qu Wurong was adopted. Once Qu Wurong knew the truth, she would surely rebel. However, Qu Wurong was extremely capable, and Shi Guanyin was reluctant to kill her, so she has kept her alive until now.

She is less beautiful and less talented than Qu Wurong, but she is more cunning and good at flattery.

One day, Wu Yi got Shi Guanyin drunk. In her half-dreaming, half-awake, half-drunk state, Shi Guanyin revealed Qu Wu Rong's true identity, leaving Wu Yi terrified.

Qu Wurong was stolen, but what about her?

Were her parents killed by Shi Guanyin?
Most importantly, Wu Yi learns that Shi Guanyin's deepest secret might lead to her being murdered to silence her.

Wu Yi first pretended to know nothing and used flattery to deceive Shi Guanyin. Then he suggested that he wanted to travel around the martial arts world, find a large force, infiltrate it as an undercover agent, and make profits for his master.

How could such eloquent words deceive Shi Guanyin?
Shi Guanyin pretended not to know and prepared a sumptuous dinner for her. Not long after Wuyi left, she found that her abdomen was in excruciating pain. She knew that she had been poisoned. Knowing Shi Guanyin's personality, she would definitely wait for her to crawl back and beg for mercy.

Shi Guanyin underestimated Wuyi.

Having flattered Shi Guanyin for so many years, Wu Yi was quite familiar with her methods of using poison, so she prepared antidotes in advance to slightly suppress her abdominal pain.

Later, Wuyi fled to Jiangnan and became the daughter-in-law of Yongcui Villa. She married Li Yuhan.

Wu Yi was worried that Shi Guanyin would find clues, so she dared not seek out the divine doctor to cure the poison. She could only suppress it with medicine. Her body was eroded by the poison for several years, and her eyebrows all fell out.

Her current name is Liu Wumei.

Code name: Thrush!

Liu Wumei deeply hated Shi Guanyin. Upon learning that Li Zhaoting had arranged a chance for her to take revenge, she did not hesitate to storm Shi Guanyin's lair and kill all of Shi Guanyin's subordinates.

Except for Qu Wurong.

The two had a sisterly bond back then, and Liu Wumei sympathized with Qu Wurong's plight. She only knocked her unconscious and locked her in the underground water dungeon. As for the others, Liu Wumei showed no mercy and vented her anger without restraint.

kill!kill!kill!

Only two people remained alive in the entire nest.

Qu Wurong in the water dungeon.

Liu Wumei opened all the mechanisms.

When Shi Guanyin arrived at her own doorstep, she was trapped by a series of traps and mechanisms. These traps had no way out and could only be broken by brute force.

There used to be a safety passage.

Unfortunately, several years ago, the stone camel, who would rather be tortured into being deaf, blind, and mute than submit to the Stone Guanyin, found a passage and escaped through a safe passage.

Shi Guanyin was furious. She arrested the craftsmen and redesigned the mechanism. Once the mechanism's hub was activated, all the exits were closed to prevent anyone from escaping.

The people inside can't escape!
Similarly, outsiders cannot get in.

The stone Guanyin was blocked by its own mechanism.

"Wu Yi, get out here! If you kneel down and admit your mistake, I can give you the antidote!"

"Wu Yi, have you forgotten our master-disciple bond? These traps can't stop me; I will kill you!"

"I dumped Li Zhaoting!"

"Li Zhaoting couldn't possibly have found this place!"

“Wu Yi, if you open the door willingly, I can spare your life and we can settle our scores. If you continue to be stubborn, I will cut you into a thousand pieces.”

"Wuyi, answer me! Answer me!"

Stone Guanyin roared angrily.

"Master, this is the last time I'll call you Master. You taught me all your martial arts skills and tormented me for years. I've long since repaid your kindness. I only feel hatred for you now!"

"If I die, you will surely die too!"

"Li Zhaoting will cure me!"

“Li Zhaoting can’t cure my unique poison! It’s a combination poison that must be neutralized at the same time. If even one ingredient is wrong, your intestines will burst open immediately.”

"Madam Li is the leader of the Five Poisons Sect."

"What is the Five Poisons Sect Leader compared to this!"

"You don't need to worry about the antidote. If the Five Poisons Sect Master can't cure my poison, it means there's no antidote for this poison. I'll take you down with me!"

"Wu Yi, you're asking for death!"

"If you're so capable, then break in!"

Liu Wumei trembled all over, her veins bulging, clearly due to the effects of the deadly poison. If this continued, Liu Wumei would only have one or two years to live at most, and her life force would soon be exhausted.

There is no antidote in the Stone Guanyin's nest.

Liu Wumei searched through all the secret rooms and found all of Shi Guanyin's secrets. She knew that Shi Guanyin could not have left an antidote. If she could live, she would go home and live a good life. If there was no antidote for the deadly poison, she would drag Shi Guanyin down to hell and fight to the death!
"boom!"

Li Zhaoting landed from mid-air.

"You...how did you find me?"

"Dog nose!"

"Li Zhaoting, do you think I'm afraid of you!"

"You have one last message."

"This is what I wanted to say to you!"

Shi Guanyin waved her hand and grabbed at Li Zhaoting's chest and abdomen.

Using her unparalleled beauty, Shi Guanyin seduced inner disciples of various martial arts sects, tricking them into revealing her martial arts secrets. After years of modification and refinement, she created a supremely exquisite killing move—one that men cannot bear to see!

This is a superb move that combines charm, grappling, and lightness skill. The move is exquisite and unparalleled, with countless variations integrated into one move. Coupled with her naturally alluring appearance, any normal man who sees her is likely to be captured by this move in one strike.

Even ignoring the charm effect, and analyzing only the grappling techniques, Shi Guanyin's move is by no means ordinary. In terms of the variety of moves, it can be ranked among the top ten in the martial arts world.

Her slender, jade-like hands, as white as snow and frost, emerged from the wide sleeves of her robe, her long, graceful fingers making mysterious and complex movements.

Five fingers were pointed at acupoints on Li Zhaoting's chest. No matter which direction Li Zhaoting dodged, the fingers would hit the acupoints, completely blocking his way forward and backward.

If Liu Wumei is a deep pool, then Shi Guanyin is a vast ocean. Her profound internal strength and exquisite offensive techniques are ten times stronger than Liu Wumei's.

Compared to powerful monsters like Jellyfish Yin Ji and Zhu Wushi, Shi Guanyin was far inferior, but she had mastered her skills to perfection, with no hesitation between moves and flawless finger movements.

Standing on high ground watching the battle, Liu Wumei was surprised to find that Shi Guanyin's moves had reached a level of mastery and complete control, and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from Li Zhaoting's brow.

Can Li Zhaoting counter this ingenious move?
The answer is: No!

Feng Qingyang's specialty was to counter any move he made.

Li Zhaoting excels at countering attacks with attacks.

Just like when Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong discussed martial arts, Hong Qigong asked Ouyang Feng to break down the Dog-Beating Staff Technique. Ouyang Feng thought about it all night before he came up with a solution. But what would Ouyang Feng do if the two were in a fierce battle?
Of course, it's about using the Toad Style to unleash palm power.

You do your thing, I'll do mine.

You hit me with a stick, I'll hit you with a slap.

One move for another!
It all comes down to who has the stronger strength.

Li Zhaoting maintained his forward momentum, and with a gentle flick of his right hand at his waist, the Purple Rose Soft Sword sprang from its sheath.

Sword Drawing Technique!
The Purple Star Soft Sword had long been itching to slay demons like Shi Guanyin, a wicked and vicious woman. Now, it burst from its sheath and unleashed its pent-up sword intent, scattering hundreds of sword beams.

The Milky Way seems to turn as a thousand sails dance!
Shi Guanyin sighed softly, withdrew her jade hand from her sleeve, and gracefully met Li Zhaoting. Her sleeves fluttered swiftly, revealing a world within them, full of mysteries.

The seemingly effortless movement of the two flowing sleeves was like birds soaring and fish landing, leaving no trace. The fierce and invincible sword light was completely captured by Shi Guanyin. Li Zhaoting slightly spun around and launched the sword light again.

Six Meridian Divine Sword - Shaoze Sword!
"Snapped!"

A hole was shot through the sleeve of the stone Guanyin.

Before Shi Guanyin could change her move, Li Zhaoting made a feint with his left hand to form the Great Vajra Wheel Seal, while his right hand emitted a bloodthirsty aura. His Purple Star Soft Sword swept across the sky like a long dragon, displaying a domineering and powerful sword technique that turned the soft sword into a horse-slaying sword.

Yellow sand desert, a lonely city at sunset.

Ten sweeps and ten decisive strikes, the qi and blood flow like a dragon.

Li Zhaoting spun around the stone Guanyin, holding the Ziwei Soft Sword upside down, hidden under his arm with only three inches of the blade showing. As his body spun, the Ziwei Soft Sword resembled a flying wheel, scattering countless points of energy.

The stone Guanyin, like a fairy dancing gracefully, appeared and disappeared amidst the sword light, like a bright moon lightly covered by thin clouds, swaying back and forth like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

His body became a shadow, flashing forward and backward amidst the sword shadows. His left hand formed a knife with his fingers, filled with true energy, and slashed left and right at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Each finger accurately struck Li Zhaoting's sword light.

The two attacked each other head-on, exchanging hundreds of blows in an instant, which made Liu Wumei feel a little relieved.

Shi Guanyin appeared to be in a position of ease, but in reality, she was in a passive and defensive situation, and her energy and spirit were being worn down.

Li Zhaoting's moves were profound and his movements were graceful. With each sword strike, he could anticipate the opponent's moves and strike first. No matter how Shi Guanyin changed her moves, she was always blocked by Li Zhaoting.

To think of seizing an opportunity to launch a counterattack is nothing short of wishful thinking!
The two exchanged dozens or even hundreds of moves, or it could be described as a single move, or even no moves at all.

Li Zhaoting's attacks were unpredictable and unconventional, each sword strike aimed at Shi Guanyin's vital points. With lightning speed, he continuously compressed Shi Guanyin's space to move. Once Shi Guanyin's dodge space was compressed to its limit, she would inevitably be killed by the sword's edge.

Shi Guanyin was completely restrained by the swordsmanship, helplessly manipulated by Li Zhaoting's unpredictable sword moves, her movement becoming increasingly limited and frustrating.

The moment she has no way to avoid it will be the moment of her complete defeat. This moment will not be long, because Li Zhaoting's speed is getting faster and faster, and more and more urgent.

Liu Wumei knew even better that Li Zhaoting possessed the Tathagata's Divine Light that could split mountains and divide waters, and the Eight Swords Flying Together. Once they were locked in a fierce battle of powerful moves, Shi Guanyin would surely die.

Thinking of this, I felt even more at ease.

"唳~~"

The stone Guanyin roared to the sky, and the heavenly demon howled.

Li Zhaoting seemed to be brainwashed by the demonic sound, and his speed slowed down for a moment. Shi Guanyin grabbed with both hands, and all ten fingers grabbed at Li Zhaoting's vital points at the same time. She suddenly came up with a surprise move when she was on the verge of defeat and turned the tide of the battle. Just as Shi Guanyin was laughing wildly, Li Zhaoting, who was using the sword technique for a long time, suddenly pointed out with his left hand sword finger and his right hand sword flashed with light.

"Snapped!"

Shi Guanyin's right hand was punched through by the sword finger, and her left sleeve was torn apart by the sword light. Li Zhaoting's spine twisted, the earth dragon turned over, and the Purple Star Sword Light slashed at Shi Guanyin.

"Chucky!"

One move succeeds, followed by three consecutive strikes.

The Purple Star Soft Sword flew out of his hand, piercing through the chest of the Stone Guanyin, and shot out from behind, leaving a bloody hole that went straight through. Li Zhaoting caught the sword and said coldly, "The Star of Bliss has no secrets."

"What did you say!"

"The King of Kucha discovered that there was a spy among his men and was afraid of being assassinated. He fabricated the story of the Star of Bliss to deceive the spy. You sent an assassin to kill him, making him a frightened bird, hoping to lure him into revealing his secret. Of course, he couldn't tell, because there was no secret at all."

"I don't believe it... I don't believe it..."

"You've been deceived by the King of Kucha all this time. Your wisdom is worthless in his eyes. How pathetic! You've been played for years and haven't gained a single thing!"

Li Zhaoting coldly uttered the cruelest and most vicious words ever spoken to a woman: "Do you know why I'm willing to help Princess Pipa? Because you're too old! The crow's feet around your eyes could trap a mosquito, making people want to vomit."

"I have no wrinkles, I... am the most beautiful!"

Enraged, Shi Guanyin's blood surged, and she could no longer maintain her life force. A sword light erupted from her body, followed by a loud explosion, and Shi Guanyin turned into a blood mist.

Li Zhaoting said, "Liu Wumei, please leave this place as quickly as possible and take all the living people with you!"

Liu Wumei initially thought Li Zhaoting wanted to take over this nest as a safe house. With Shi Guanyin dead, Liu Wumei only wanted to go home and live a normal life, so she didn't care about this. She left with Qu Wurong. Just a few dozen meters away, a loud explosion was heard, and a golden sword light fell from the sky!

The Buddha's divine light moves mountains and rivers!

Tathagata's Divine Light Welcomes the Buddha to the Western Paradise!

The Buddha's divine light shines everywhere!

Tathagata's Divine Light - Heavenly Buddha Descends to Earth!

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

Li Zhaoting unleashed five consecutive Tathagata Divine Lights, causing Shi Guanyin's painstakingly built lair to collapse. A raging fire ensued, completely destroying the demon's lair.

This is a vast desert, deserted and uninhabited, so there's no need to worry about accidentally hurting others. After waiting for a while, Li Zhaoting felt uneasy and added seven or eight more sword strikes.

Even the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage" technique, which had never been used before, bombarded the nest twice, disrupting the natural energy of heaven and earth, forming a violent hurricane, and completely burying it with sand and dust.

"It's over! I'm so fucking exhausted!"

Li Zhaoting wiped his sweat and sighed.

Liu Wumei was completely dumbfounded.

Surely not!
Did Shi Guanyin violate any heavenly rules?
