Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 360 The wind is rising, let Blackstone wipe out the entire clan!
There are two martial arts families near the town.

Wang Dong, a local, knew nothing about this, while Yan Qi, an outsider, knew it very well. During a casual chat, he casually mentioned the situation of these two martial arts families.

"The richest family around the town is none other than the Jin family. While others use steel and stone to make weapons, the Jin family uses gold and is best at firing gold bullets."

Even if a five-ounce gold bullet hits you and breaks two bones, you probably won't be angry.

Thanks to this skill, Kim has never had any enemies since his debut, and he can always find someone to talk to wherever he goes.

He was quite an extraordinary person.

Yan Qi, in a very feminine way, rested her chin on her hand and told stories in a rambling manner. Wang Dong was huddled under the quilt, Guo Dalu was boxing, Wang Shenglan was lifting weights, and the only listener was Mei Zhu, with Li Zhaoting being a half-listener.

Because Li Zhaoting needed to set up a fortune-telling stall, he listened to troubles with one ear and stories with the other.

What's bothering me?

Of course, they are guests who come to seek divine guidance and divination!
People only go to the street to have their fortune told when they are in trouble. If everything goes smoothly, they will be wealthy and successful in their careers, so who would bother with the fortune tellers on the street who are inaccurate nine out of ten times?

There were originally two martial arts families nearby.

The family, surnamed Mei, were skilled in using stone tools. Their knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, throwing knives, and hidden weapons were all made of stone, which earned them a slight reputation in the martial arts world.

Using stones as weapons is a way to win by surprise. If people in the martial arts world want to become famous, they either need to practice fist and foot techniques or weapons. Weapons are all made of iron, and stone weapons have long been obsolete.

It's just a publicity stunt!
The family was surnamed Xiong, and the head of the family was named Xiong Churen. He was proficient in a rather strange form of external martial arts that could greatly increase the flexibility of the body and make him exceptionally strong.

Body-refining martial artists have surging blood and qi, and many wives and concubines. Xiong Churen had more than a dozen sons and one daughter.

My daughter married into Qixia Town in Guanzhong.

Eight or nine months ago, the Xiong family was wiped out. Based on the traces at the scene, it was determined that the entire Xiong family was killed by the Black Stone assassin organization.

There are also rumors that when the coroner examined the body, he did not find Xiong Churen's youngest son, 'Chu Mo'.

Unfortunately, most of the external martial arts techniques in the martial arts world are designed to make martial artists indestructible and incredibly strong, primarily to increase their combat power. Such divine skills are extremely rare!

From now on, we'll never see that again!

Yan Qi sighed with considerable regret.

Wang Shenglan complained: "Black Stone! Bah! Among all the assassin organizations in the martial arts world, Black Stone is the most despicable! Relying on their connections with officials, they investigate people's shortcomings everywhere. Black Stone's leader, Wheel King, is probably a eunuch from the Eastern Depot."

Yan Qi asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Wang Shenglan sneered: "My family runs a security escort agency. We've suffered losses at the hands of Black Stone when we were escorting goods. Those bastards are best at side businesses and love to bully the weak. They almost bankrupted my family's security escort agency."

"How come I didn't know about this?"

Before anyone knew it, Li Zhaoting came over.

Wang Shenglan said coquettishly, "Husband, this happened when I was a child. I was too embarrassed to tell you before."

"So, in other words, part of my wife's dowry was taken by Black Stone, right?"

"Blackstone robbed the caravan, we'll pay compensation..."

"Hiss~ Someone actually dared to steal my money!"

Li Zhaoting gasped, raising his hand to find that autumn was in full swing, the autumn wind was chilling, and the wind was rising. "Let Black Stone wipe out the whole family! How dare they steal my money!"

"Ah!"

King Yama, who was doing the accounting, sneezed, felt a chill run down his spine, and couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

Just then, Ye Zhanqing pushed open the door and entered.

King Yama cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and used his inner energy to vibrate his vocal cords, making his voice louder: "What are you doing here? Aren't you on a mission?"

Six months ago, the Black Stone assassin, Xi Yu, was enlightened by a high monk while on a mission and retired from the life of a criminal. King Yama had some unclear thoughts about Xi Yu and carefully cultivated a substitute based on Xi Yu's eyebrows, eyes and figure.

This stand-in is Ye Zhanqing.

They have similar eyebrows and eyes, but completely different temperaments.

Xi Yu is aloof and arrogant, and has always been taciturn. She rarely shows herself except when carrying out missions.

Ye Zhanqing was originally a murderer in the prison. She killed her husband on their wedding night. There was no enmity between them. They were introduced by a matchmaker and had no prior connection. However, on their wedding night, she discovered that her husband was sexually impotent and unable to satisfy her desires, so she killed him.

Beauty is Ye Zhanqing's strongest weapon.

Ye Zhanqing is unrestrained and likes to use his beauty to seduce his targets and carry out assassinations in bed. He often teases King Zhuanlun, but King Zhuanlun never takes the bait.

Uh……

In terms of what Ye Zhanqing needed most, King Zhuanlun was even less important than the unfortunate soul who was killed by Ye Zhanqing.

The unlucky person suffers from kidney deficiency, which is treatable. If they encounter a renowned doctor, there is a certain chance of recovery.

King Yama is "nothing." He is a eunuch, a eunuch with desires. Decades of repression have left him with countless desires hidden in his heart, which he cannot express outwardly.

To this end, King Chakravartin devised numerous schemes, hoping to obtain the immortal body left behind by the high monk Rama after his death. He hoped to dissect the corpse, analyze the meridians and acupoints, comprehend Rama's internal energy, and thus become a normal man.

Legend has it that Rama voluntarily purified himself and entered the palace for three years to preach Buddhism to the emperor. After three years, he left the palace and passed away in meditation on Mount Jiuhua. When his disciples cleaned his body, they found that Rama's body was intact.

From then on, rumors spread throughout the martial arts world that Luo Mo's internal energy possessed unparalleled vitality, and that once mastered, it could repair damage and restore the body to its optimal state.

Missing teeth can grow back, blind eyes can regain their sight, and even eunuchs can be transformed into healthy men. Unfortunately, Rama only passed down the Dharma, not the secret teachings.

To obtain the divine power of Rama, one must dissect the physical body left behind by Rama and analyze the mental techniques based on the meridians.

This method has a success rate that is infinitely close to zero.

Martial arts masters all have their meridians open throughout their bodies. For a figure like Rama, all his meridians, acupoints, and points are unobstructed, so dissecting his body would be meaningless. Among the powerful and influential eunuchs, only King Chakravartin was concerned about Rama's remains, while the other eunuchs didn't even glance at them.

The powerful eunuchs like Mi Cangqiong, Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, and Cao Shaoqin wielded power far exceeding that of King Zhuanlun. No one cared about Rama's remains; they didn't even bother to look at the intelligence files.

Those well-read eunuchs even guessed that the so-called "repairing the disabled" was nothing more than a myth fabricated by Rama's disciples to spread Buddhism.

The story originates from Acharya Garan.

It was the largest sacrificial temple in the Kingdom of Kucha.

The Great Tang Records on the Western Regions contains a detailed account.

King Chakravartin was consumed by desires and plagued by inner demons. He made the remains of Rama his sole pursuit; Rama's remains were his inner demons and his greatest wish in life.

Finding Rama's remains will restore normalcy.

Once his health returns to normal, he will be able to get married and have children.

King Yama was confident of his success and became more gentle with Ye Zhanqing. Ye Zhanqing misunderstood King Yama's intentions and became increasingly unruly towards him.

Some people find this kind of thing disgusting.

Ye Zhanqing would not. She needed a man with high martial arts skills, great power, wealth, and physical strength. The last condition was a "necessary condition," while the other conditions were negotiable. As long as one of them was met, they could sleep together.

Ye Zhanqing had no concept of "chastity" and only cared about her own pleasure; she was extremely self-centered.

In some ways, Ye Zhanqing's personality is more suited to be an assassin than Xiyu's.

Ye Zhanqing said, "I've found out! Luo Mo's remains were split in two. One half was in the Nangong family, and the other half was in the Xiong family. After the Xiong family was wiped out, this part of the body was taken by Xi Yu. I found her hiding place."

Upon hearing this, King Yama's eyes lit up: "The Nangong family has many branches. Which Nangong are you referring to? Is it the main Nangong family in Lingnan, or a certain branch?"

Ye Zhanqing said, "The Nangong family of Jinan, that is, the one called 'Crazy Cross Sword,' always wearing a mask and parading around, and has been framed by hundreds of people."

"Any other news?" "The daughter of the Nangong family has recently appeared by Xiyu's side. We can take her down in one fell swoop."

"Is this a trap?"

"Absolutely not!"

Who else is with them?

"Xi Yu got married to an ordinary, poor errand boy who couldn't even afford to eat bean curd sheets. He ate simple meals every day and was so poor that he couldn't afford new clothes."

The daughter of the Nangong family changed her name to Yan Qi and lived in a poor, dilapidated manor where rats ran. She was accompanied by several eccentric madmen, one of whom looked very much like the "Eagle King Who Soared to the Sky" from back then.

There's also a silly, foolish young man, a womanizing Taoist priest, and a big-breasted, brainless, reckless female镖头 (bodyguard/escort). I could kill them all with a flick of my wrist.

"King of the Wheels, what's the news?"

Ye Zhanqing winked at King Zhuanlun.

King Yama reached out and embraced Ye Zhanqing, stroking her smooth and delicate skin. After receiving news of Rama's remains, King Yama could no longer suppress his lust, but alas, his body was that of a eunuch, so he could only have a surreptitious act.

Such things should not be revealed.

Otherwise, the prestige of the Wheel-Turning King would vanish in an instant.

King Yama said in a deep voice, "Ye Zhanqing, retrieve Rama's remains, and I will marry you next year!"

"You can enjoy it now!"

Ye Zhanqing looked at the bed next to her.

King Yama roared, "Ye Zhanqing, don't mistake my leniency for a license to act recklessly! Do you think I'm a lustful glutton who'd do anything for a woman? Keep your petty thoughts to yourself! Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"

"Snapped!"

Ye Zhanqing received a slap on the face.

Feeling the burning sensation on his face, Ye Zhanqing licked his lips in enjoyment, looked at the night sky, took out a Thousand-Mile Fire, aimed it at the starry sky, and lit the fuse.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Dozens of rockets shot into the sky.

This is Blackstone's rallying signal.

Upon receiving the signal, Blackrock assassins, regardless of their current missions or even their wedding night, must immediately assemble. Those who disobey will be executed without mercy.

……

Brothels and theaters.

This is the liveliest part of the city.

Brothels, casinos, theaters, circuses, snack stalls—there were performers everywhere, and it was bustling with activity.

A young man is demonstrating magic, a trick he learned from the Western Regions... Clear Water Freezing Ice!
This is not the Cold Ice True Qi or the Cold Ice Palm, but rather the addition of medicine to water, which, when lightly touched to the surface, begins to crystallize inside, making it look like ice.

To put it bluntly, there's nothing particularly strange about it, but for ordinary people, it's nothing short of miraculous.

This move received a standing ovation.

The young man looked smugly at the drunken old man next to him: "Old man Lian, didn't you boast that your skills were unparalleled? Show me one!"

The "color artist" Lian Sheng sneered disdainfully: "I stopped using the technique of melting ice with cold water a long time ago! What's the point of learning a three-year-old's skill?"

Seeing that the secret technique he had painstakingly learned was being belittled as worthless by Lian Sheng, the young man sneered, "Lian Sheng, you're not still thinking about that damn Immortal Rope, are you?"

Lian Sheng was too lazy to argue and was about to leave when he suddenly saw the thousand-mile-long fire rising in the night sky. He opened the sack, took out a hemp rope as thick as his wrist, threw out the powder with his left hand, and thick clouds gathered in the sky, with the rope hanging in mid-air.

The rope was suspended more than two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) high, but less than three zhang (approximately 10 meters). However, due to the misleading visual effect, the rope appeared to rise directly to the horizon, as if one could climb to the heavens with it.

Lian Sheng leaped up the rope and shouted, "Kid! This is the Immortal Rope. If you're so capable, come up with me!"

The young man was hot-blooded and couldn't stand the stimulation. He immediately followed, grabbed the rope and started climbing. Unexpectedly, the rope grabbed him from behind.

"Clap!"

The body parts fell from mid-air, shattered into eight pieces.

The surrounding people screamed in fright, then realized that there was no blood on the body parts; they were actually disguised with straw. When they looked up into the air, the rope had disappeared.

Where's the young man?

Looking around, one could see the young man sitting naked in front of a wonton stall, his body covered in powder that could freeze water into ice, and his whole body was covered in scattered ice shards.

"The Immortal's Rope... The Immortal's Rope..."

The young man kept muttering to himself, as if he were possessed.

……

Lei Family Noodle Shop.

After seeing off the last guest, Lei Bin was about to cook a bowl of noodles to comfort his tired body when a flash of light from a thousand miles of fire appeared before his eyes. He cursed his bad luck inwardly and was about to head to the meeting point when he remembered Li Zhaoting's words.

What's more comfortable than cooking noodles when you're an assassin?

The assassin's life was precarious; he could be killed at any moment.

As a noodle shop owner, you can survive by cooking noodles every day as long as you don't offend powerful or influential people.

To put it bluntly, what high-ranking official would have nothing better to do than smash up a noodle shop? Even among spoiled brats, there are different levels; only the lowest of the low would make things difficult for honest people.

Lei Bin could kill a spoiled brat of this caliber by secretly shooting him with a few needles from the shadows.

I wanted to refuse to go to the gathering, but I didn't dare not go.

Lei Bin decided to go and see for himself.

Seeing that things were not going well, they immediately ran away.

King Yama's methods became increasingly insane.

Sooner or later, they'll provoke a powerful expert they can't afford to mess with.

……

There are fifty or sixty Blackrock assassins.

Lian Sheng, Lei Bin, Xi Yu, and Ye Zhanqing—these are Black Stone brand assassins, but not all of them.

These people are just famous; in terms of their killing methods, they probably wouldn't even rank in the top ten.

As Ye Zhanqing unleashed the Thousand-Mile Fire, all the assassins gathered. In order to obtain the remains of Rama, King Yama made a desperate gamble, killing anyone who stood in his way. He wanted to become a man, a healthy man!
Taking a desperate gamble is not the same as reckless rushing forward.

Assassins are professionals who plan carefully before acting. Blackstone's success over the years is not only due to the help of the eunuchs from the Eastern Depot, but also because Blackstone itself has some highly skilled people.

They excel at intelligence gathering, character analysis, and planning, and eliminate their targets in the best possible way.

Their target is... Wang Dong!
Soaring high, the king of eagles!

One of the most agile thieves in the martial arts world.

He once broke into the Shaolin Temple's Bodhidharma Hall to steal scriptures.
