Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 422 Ge Shutian's Scheme: If you can't beat them, join them!

terrible!
It's terrible!

The higher one's martial arts skills and the deeper one's understanding, the more one can appreciate the profound meaning of the words carved by Li Zhaoting, and feel a sense of powerlessness similar to that of Li Gong when he encountered Ling Donglai.

"Bloody Hand" Li Gong is a successor of the Yin Gui Sect. He wreaks havoc in the martial arts world with his Seventy-Two Styles of Heavenly Demon Hand, Purple Blood Technique, and Heavenly Demon Technique, and can be called the number one demon in the martial arts world.

Just as Li Gong was at the height of his power and gathered an invincible momentum, he encountered Ling Donglai, the supreme master of the Taoist sect. Ling Donglai silently wrote the method to break the Heavenly Demon Hand on Li Gong's clothes.

At the end, a line of small print reads: "Ling Donglai breaks the Yin Gui School's Seventy-Two Forms of the Heavenly Demon Hand, specially to congratulate you!"
This incident served as a wake-up call for Li Gong, awakening him from his unbridled demonic thoughts. In a moment of enlightenment, he pursued the supreme Dao, ultimately confining himself to the Ten Deadly Barriers. Following in Ling Donglai's footsteps, he sought an opportunity to shatter the void.

Li Shengnan and Feng Suzhen had this feeling.

Originally, it was thought that with Feng Suzhen's Demon-Subduing Qin, Li Shengnan's Great Universe Hand, Wang Shenglan's Overlord Spear, Lan Fenghuang's Golden Silkworm Gu, Wang Yuyan's erudition, and Gongsun Lan's Gongsun Sword Dance, they had a chance to defeat Li Zhaoting.

Feng Suzhen felt that if the sisters united as one, they could form the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Demon-Subduing Formation and have a 50% chance of success.

Li Shengnan felt that by setting the limit to winning in 100 moves, Li Zhaoting could only use acupoint striking techniques, giving her at least a 70% chance of winning, and at worst, she could move the acupoints.

The "Great Compassion Ode to the Interplay of Heaven and Earth and the Yin-Yang" contains an auxiliary mental technique called the Heavenly Rotation and Earthly Reversal Great Acupoint Shifting Technique. It can penetrate the meridians and acupoints throughout the body, allowing internal energy to reach everywhere. True energy is constantly generated and can travel through meridians and acupoints, ignoring acupoint striking, meridian cutting, grappling, and restriction techniques. Even if the meridians are damaged, it can retain 50% of its combat power.

The biggest danger in acupressure is the displacement of the acupoints.

With this move, he pretended to be hit by a pressure point and then launched a sneak attack on Li Zhaoting. How could Li Zhaoting possibly win?
After years of deliberation, Li Shengnan devised nineteen ways to deal with Li Zhaoting, but she rejected them all. She knew that she had no chance of winning by fighting alone, so she could only rely on a siege.

Seduction, formation, encirclement, ambush, and assassination!
Using the sisters' group as bait, they lured Li Zhaoting into an unfair bet. The sisters worked together, changing into their most alluring clothes, their delicate feet locking in Li Zhaoting's escape route, leaving him with no way out.

In retrospect, all of this seems like wishful thinking.

After years of arduous pursuit, the gap has only widened.

Some people are like slow birds that start early, Feng Suzhen and Li Shengnan are like phoenixes that start early, and Li Zhaoting is like a phoenix that starts early, flying fast, flying frequently, and flying forward without hesitation!

Lan Fenghuang chuckled, "Sisters, why do you make such expressions? Have you given up? It's heartbreaking! You've worked so hard practicing martial arts for so long, only to be so easily crushed by Li Lang!"

Li Shengnan angrily retorted, "Phoenix! What nonsense are you spouting? Didn't you get crushed by him?"

Lan Fenghuang puffed out her chest and raised her head: "So what! In my heart, Li Lang is invincible! I never thought I could beat Li Lang, so why bother myself?"

Wang Shenglan said, "Phoenix is ​​right! To put it arrogantly, which of us sisters isn't a first-rate person? Which of us isn't proud and arrogant?"

My husband's ability to bring us together shows that he is very capable and that we sisters have good taste!
If a husband is weak and unable to lift a finger, is neither good at literature nor martial arts, and only has a handsome face, who would want to be with him?
The stronger my husband is, the happier I am.

Not to mention calculating everything about Sister Feng and Sister Li, even if the Three Cycles and Nine Periods permeate the heavens and earth, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth is gathered in the palm of one's hand, and one can see the whole land and the universe as the lines on one's palm!

So what?
If we can't beat them, we can't beat them!

Why wallow in self-pity and feel dejected?

It would be strange if she could beat her husband!

My husband once said that this is called 'internal friction'!
Sisters, let's not fight amongst ourselves!
Learn from me, learn from the phoenix, learn from Gongsun.

Smile every day, and you'll be happiest!

Feng Suzhen was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and possessed the talent of a top scholar.

Li Shengnan is determined, resilient, and decisive.

Lan Fenghuang and Wang Shenglan... have a good attitude!

They both have the most optimistic and carefree attitude.

Gongsun Lan spoke lightly, but in reality she was quite arrogant, believing that even if she couldn't be ranked first among female swordsmen in the world, she could easily be ranked in the top ten.

If all the sisters in the family rushed at him, only to be defeated by Li Zhaoting within a hundred moves, what's the point of practicing martial arts? They might as well stay home and be his concubines, entertaining Li Zhaoting.

Lan Fenghuang suddenly asked, "Sheng Lan, where did your husband go? Did he go to find Li Xia?"

Li Shengnan sighed, "Li Xia is greedy by nature, only cares about money and not people. She's shrewish and domineering, and her life is worthless. Even if you torture her with a hundred kinds of cruelty, she won't reveal the location of the Rakshasa Token. You can only buy it with money!"

After a pause, Li Shengnan added, "If torture were effective, Li Xia wouldn't be alive now!"

The evil cult is most skilled at torture and torment.

The "Heaven and Earth Annihilation Great Universe Hand" contains techniques for torture and interrogation, which can induce mental hallucinations and target hidden acupoints in the human body for torture. A single claw strike can cause excruciating pain, no less than being cut into pieces.

However, Li Xia was able to endure the pain!
If Huo Xiu is a greedy creature that only takes in and never gives out, then Li Xia is a goblin. With money, she can do anything; without money, nothing is possible. She uses greed to become immune to mental illusions.

Even powerful figures like Ge Shutian and Li Shengnan were helpless against Li Xia, a goblin who valued money above all else! Li Xia held the Rakshasa Token, ready to perish at any moment.

This is Jinzhou, bordering the sea. If you just find a fishing boat, take the Rakshasa talisman out to sea, and then find a random area of ​​the sea to throw it in, unless you have the protagonist's halo, finding the Rakshasa talisman is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!

To be honest, Li Zhaoting felt that Li Xia was far superior to those pretentious monsters who searched for the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon at the end of the Qin Dynasty. What about the Yin-Yang School's Donghuang Taiyi? They seemed to have a lot of pretentiousness, but in reality, they were very superficial!

If Li Zhaoting were to handle the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, he could throw one into the North Pole, one into a volcano, one into the vast ocean, one into the Yangtze River, one into the Yellow River, one into Dongting Lake, and the last one into the First Emperor's tomb. It would be impossible to gather them all together.

There is no map for finding the treasure.

All the maps are a "deadly joke"!
They sent assassins all the way north to the icy, snowy Arctic, until their bodies could no longer hold on.

Take a boat out to sea, find any area, throw the Azure Dragon's Seven Constellations into the sea, and use the waves to cover up the traces.

Throw it into the crater and let the fiery lava burn it; it will either burn to ashes or no one will be able to get it.

The best option would be to have a martial artist on the verge of shattering the void at that time, and have them shatter the void with a copper box, leaving only six copper boxes in the world!

Or perhaps throw them into the Temple of War, a secret realm that only descends upon the human world every sixty years!

Is it possible to gain the world by possessing the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?
Go find it if you dare!
Li Xia used a similar tactic.

The Rakshasa amulet was buried in a secluded place, perhaps on a fishing boat, deep in the mountains, or perhaps by a trusted confidant who traveled north to throw it into the Heilongjiang River.

Even if Sikong Zhaixing, Chu Liuxiang, and Bai Yutang teamed up to steal, they could only find a few fakes.

Even the domineering Ge Shutian, the ruthless Li Shengnan, the powerful Feitian Yuhu, and the three protectors of the Demonic Sect, Gu Song, Ku Zhu, and Han Mei, were all helpless.

He diligently prepared the gold, "borrowed" money from fellow martial arts practitioners who came to buy the Rakshasa brand, and gathered enough gold for Li Xia to participate in this small auction.

Li Shengnan and Feng Suzhen discussed countermeasures.

To become a first wife, martial arts skills alone are not enough; one needs the wisdom to assess situations and adapt to changing circumstances.

Li Zhaoting strolled around "Qingniwa".

According to the information provided by the waiter, Bluebeard, the big boss of Silver Hook Gambling House, has several wives and concubines. Four of them left Bluebeard one after another: Tang Keqing, a disciple of the Tang Clan who runs a tavern; Leng Hong'er, who runs a traditional Chinese medicine shop; Li Xia, who runs a gambling house; and Chen Jingjing, Li Xia's assistant.

They have their disagreements and their own agendas, but they are not just superficial friends; at least two of them are not.

Tang Keqing liked Li Xia!
The kind of liking that Jellyfish Yin Princess.

Unfortunately, Tang Keqing did not possess the unparalleled martial arts skills of the Water Mother Yin Ji, and could only harm herself to vent her desires. Whenever Li Xia came into contact with other men, she would go mad.

None of Bluebeard's women are normal.

The woman with the flying jade tiger is even more abnormal.

Men who are philanderers pay a price.

Wen Liangong and Duan Zhengchun were no exception.

Unless you can achieve the feat of "the phoenix takes flight first"!
The clumsy bird, lark, bluebird, and phoenix can only see its afterimage, chasing after it relentlessly.

Li Zhaoting followed Ge Shutian's aura to find this inn. Li Zhaoting's disguise could fool Li Xia and Chen Jingjing, but it couldn't fool Ge Shutian!
Wuwei Hall is the branch of the Demonic Sect with the most experts and the most chaotic demonic activities. It is equivalent to the Arhat Hall plus the Bodhidharma Academy. The Demonic Sect claims to be filled with gods and demons from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Seventy percent of these demons are subordinates of Geshutian. The fact that Geshutian can make these demons obedient shows how powerful he is.

Ge Shutian was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in a wide range of subjects such as astronomy, geography, medicine, divination, astrology, yin and yang, the five elements, and divination techniques. His erudition was no less than that of Huang Yaoshi.

What the world doesn't know is that Geshutian was not from the Demonic Sect. He was originally a disciple of the Western Regions Tianji Sect, and he was born with a demonic nature. His master, Tianji Twenty-Three, foresaw a divination that demons would run rampant and monsters would wreak havoc on the world. Geshutian mistakenly believed that the demonic path was about to rise, so he decided to devote himself to the demonic path.

With the help of his junior brother "Liao Rushen", Ge Shutian slaughtered the entire Tianji Sect and surrendered to the Demonic Sect with his bloodstained body. Liao Rushen stayed in the Western Regions.

Ge Shutian's thought was, since his master was talking in a mystical way about demons running rampant and monsters causing chaos in the world, and was telling him to be on guard against me and to have all sorts of schemes against me, he couldn't let his master's divination go to waste. He was going to show the demons to him!

Liao Rushen's thoughts were: You old geezer look down on me, refuse to teach me "Dreamlike Limitless", and say that I have a wicked heart and am not suitable to cultivate the sect's unique skills. So I will strike first and kill you, you old codger!

One of the two traitors transformed into a demon, while the other believed he understood everything in the world and could predict all things. Using the treasure of the Demon Sword Clan's Chess of Life and Death as the game board, he played a game of "Chess of Life and Death" with Tianji Twenty-Three, a game that transcended life and death.

Li Zhaoting, disguised as the Wuhen Gongzi, and Feng Suzhen's sparring with Li Shengnan were not very loud. It seemed to be a small-scale test between the Demonic Sect's Holy Maiden and the Wuhen Gongzi in order to seize the Rakshasa Token.

The three guardians, Lone Pine, Winter Plum, and Bitter Bamboo, may not be able to see the truth, and Flying Jade Tiger is sitting on the sidelines, but with Geshu Tian's keen insight, he will definitely be able to see it.

Geshutian actively releases his Qi.

Li Zhaoting followed the energy flow to the inn.

Ge Shutian had been waiting for a long time in the private room!
"The Big Dipper shines high, and the Geshu family carries their swords at night. I have long admired the name of the Geshu family, and it is truly an honor to meet you today. May I ask if you are skilled in swordsmanship?"

"The Big Dipper governs death, the Southern Dipper governs life. No matter how high my Big Dipper is, it will never be as popular as the Southern Dipper. Life and death are transformed, and this transformation is not limited to the realm of swords and spears."

"What level of demonic power have you cultivated?"

"Eighteen layers!"

"Are you confident you can block my sword?"

"I'm about 20% sure!"

"Why don't you leave?" "I want to make a bet with you."

"What are you gambling?"

"Will the Goddess of Gamblers be able to obtain the Rakshasa Card?"

"I can't bet on that!"

Li Zhaoting waved his hand decisively!

Ge Shutian was initially taken aback, but then sighed, "This gamble is too unfair to me. You can leave directly with the Holy Maiden, moving freely and doing whatever you want. As long as you lose the gamble, you are in an invincible position."

"Without the Rakshasa Shield, how can we not be defeated?"

"Without the Rakshasa talisman, you won the bet. In order to make you lose, I went through all the trouble of stealing the Rakshasa talisman and then finding a way to give it to the Holy Maiden. The winner is more frustrated than the loser."

"Who told you to insist on betting with me!"

“I have leverage to threaten you. I can’t stop your sword, but I can leak your information. Compared to the Rakshasa Card, the Guandong Martial Arts Tournament is more important. How about we make a deal? You give up the auction, and I will do everything I can to help you at this Guandong Martial Arts Tournament.”

The disciples of the Demonic Cult all have their own agendas.

Of course, I am no exception.

I founded the 'Tianyu Palace' during the Qing Dynasty.

Even if you disguise yourself as Yi Yangzi or Yan Beifei, you can only play a supporting role and won't be able to get close to the core.

As long as you agree, you will immediately become the Palace Master of Tianyu Palace, a genuine Palace Master.

No one can see the flaw in you.

I can tell you something else.

My Heavenly Desire Palace has many collaborations with Wanyan Honglie's Heavenly Ren Sect and has bribed many Manchu officials.

Some of them are people your father really needs.

Especially my chosen disciples!

Ge Shutian took out a brocade pouch.

A clever plan.

It contains the highest secret of the Heavenly Desire Palace.

Li Zhaoting said, "I don't understand! What do you need the Rakshasa Token for? If the Jade Rakshasa is not dead, no one can replace him. If the Jade Rakshasa is dead, what makes a mere jade token capable of commanding demons?"

Geshu Tian sighed, “The Sanskrit engraved on the back of the Rakshasa talisman is the supreme secret technique of the Demonic Cult. I don’t know what this secret technique is, but I know that this is my chance. If I don’t even have the will to take a gamble, the demons under my command will not agree. The higher you stand, the less you can retreat at will, otherwise you will fall to your death!”

"You can't retreat, but the Holy Maiden can?"

"The Holy Maiden is not the leader of the sect. She can get married. The headquarters of the Demonic Sect is far away in the Western Regions. Your ancestral home is in Jinling, and your new home is in Bianliang. Do you want to live apart from your family?"

"I'm very young..."

"What does this have to do with age?"

Young people tend to dream.

He wakes up and holds the power of the world, but he lies drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman.

My biggest wish when I was a child was to marry a fairy and a witch. One was the leader of the righteous martial arts world, and the other was the leader of the evil sect, the demon among demons.

Haven't you ever had a dream like this?

Li Zhaoting looked at Ge Shutian with disdain.

Ge Shutian nodded: "I've done it! But I know it's just a dream, and you know it's just a dream. No one can do that, not even Zhang Sanfeng!"

The legitimate world wouldn't allow this, and the underworld would be even less likely to allow it. The two sides joined forces to coerce each other.

Either retire from the world and seek enlightenment.

Either shatter the void and ascend to immortality.

Either fight a bloody battle across thousands of miles, becoming enemies of the entire world.

A dream is just a dream!

My dreams are even more audacious than yours!

I want to marry several princesses and control the underworld, the legitimate world, and the official world. But when I grow up, I'll realize that having too many women around you can easily drain you dry.

I'm not here to talk big!

My suggestion is very sincere!
You don't like nonsense, and neither do I!

I'm referring to the final condition.

Haggling is unsportsmanlike.

Ge Shutian is definitely not a reasonable person.

If I can take action, I won't just talk nonsense.

However, Li Zhaoting's martial arts skills were too high, and he also had the help of several grandmasters. Li Zhaoting led Li Shengnan, Feng Suzhen, Wang Shenglan and other experts to attack. Even Yu Luosha herself would feel a great headache.

With Li Zhaoting's arrival, the forces vying for the Rakshasa Token were completely out of balance, and all the other forces combined could not stop Li Zhaoting and his wives and concubines from charging into battle twice.

What can Geshutian do?
Should we slink back?
How will I lead the demon cubs after we get back?
A life-or-death struggle with Li Zhaoting?

Do you want it broken into a hundred pieces or a thousand pieces?

They couldn't fight, and they couldn't run away, so there was only one option left: to negotiate a cooperation with Li Zhaoting!
Ge Shutian guessed Li Zhaoting's purpose and could see that in Li Zhaoting's mind, the Rakshasa Token was not as important as the Guandong Martial Arts Conference. The Rakshasa Token could be discarded, but the Martial Arts Conference had to be disrupted, preferably severely damaging the Manchu martial arts world!
Li Zhaoting laughed and said, "Have you ever considered that Li Xia is the bait, and her Rakshasa brand is a fake!"

Ge Shutian revealed a ferocious look: "As long as you don't participate in the competition, I will swallow the bait, the fishing rod, and the fisherman whole, skin and bones!"

“Is it really appropriate to just leave like this? I’m really heartbroken. Since arriving in Guandong, I’ve used three different identities: Yan Beifei, Yiyangzi, and Wuhen Gongzi. The disguises made by Gongsun Lan are incredibly lifelike, but they’re always seen through.”

"You're not suited for infiltration!"

What am I suited for?

"robbery!"

"It has absolutely no technical content!"

"No, no, that's wrong. Robbery is the most technically demanding crime. Martial arts are a skill. Without exceptional martial arts skills, what makes you think you can rob me?"

"That makes sense, I've learned my lesson! Since you keep accusing me of robbery, I can't let you be wronged. Let's just say I am the one who's robbing you! I'll borrow the Heavenly Desire Palace for a while!"

"borrow?"

"You don't think I have time to manage a sect like the Heavenly Desire Palace, do you? I'm not that free!"

"You can give it to the Imperial City Guard."

"The Imperial City Guard? Is this your real purpose?"

“Sword God Li, the Heavenly Desire Palace is a sect that I have painstakingly built up over twenty years. Now, as a bargaining chip, it must be sold for a good price, otherwise my Dao heart will be hindered.”

"I can temporarily refrain from participating in the competition for the Rakshasa Token; Li Xia is truly stupid!"

"How can you be so stupid?"

"You will definitely spare Li Xia's life before the deal is completed, but after the deal is completed, are you really going to just watch Li Xia leave with the gold?"

“If a child carries gold in a busy area, he will surely be robbed. Li Xia can’t protect the gold, so I will help her protect it!”

Ge Shutian smiled shamelessly.

His words are righteous and eloquent, but in reality he is ruthless and cruel.

No wonder he is the Martial Might Hall Master who can command all demons.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"As long as it doesn't involve classified information, it's fine."

What is your relationship with Huang Yaoshi?

"Absolutely not related!"

"Tch! This world is truly strange, there are so many martial arts masters who look alike. Have you ever seen what Emperor Qianlong looks like? Doesn't he resemble Cao Xiong?"

"Do you intend to assassinate Emperor Qianlong?"

Do I look like someone who enjoys killing?

"Remove the word 'like'! Turn this sentence from a question into a statement! Can you have any shame at all?"

"cannot!"
