Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 484 Will Dongfang Baishi be able to divide the Qi into three parts?

Helian Ba ​​and Qiang Wangsheng died.

Fang Yeyu was forcibly taken away by the Red Sun Dharma King.

Fang Yeyu's subordinates were all killed by Ren Qianxing.

Ren Qianxing was framed and committed suicide.

The divine mental technique backfired, causing him to self-destruct and die.

When Yi Shuihan escaped from the Chess King Cave, he encountered Dongfang Baishi, who was guarding outside. They fought fiercely, but no matter who won or lost, it would not affect the final outcome.

The mastermind, Jia Shifang, revealed himself, intending to plant a demonic seed while Guan Yutian was on the verge of a mental breakdown. However, Li Zhaoting found his trail, and Jia Shifang was attacked by the crowd.

Under the combined attack of Li Zhaoting, Wang Shenglan, Cheng Huaixiu, Guan Yutian, and Jian Yin, Jia Shifang's demonic seed collapsed, and he was struck by lightning and burned to ashes.

Guan Yutian was seriously injured and disheartened. Jian Yin had no interest in the treasure. After thinking it over, he concluded that the treasure definitely belonged to Li Zhaoting and no one could take it away.

It truly is something that "no one can take away."

Even Li Zhaoting himself couldn't take it away.

Even if the wealthy families like Heshen, Lu, Hua, and Wan Sanqian joined forces, it would take at least fifty years to turn such a large sum of money into stable spending money for daily necessities without affecting the financial system.

Guan Yutian smiled bitterly. The treasure that the Demon Sword Clan had longed for for five hundred years was a hot potato in Li Zhaoting's eyes, and he didn't even bother to look at it.

As expected of the most outstanding master in the world, his vision is indeed extraordinary. Guan Yutian smiled bitterly: "The masters of the Demon Sword Clan are all dead, the Supreme Alliance are all opportunists, my son died from Jia Shifang's plot, I am seriously injured, and I have nowhere to go in the martial world. You can arrange the treasure yourselves!"

Jian Yin stepped forward and helped Guan Yutian up: "When I was in the Supreme Alliance, you treated me quite well. Do you have a place to live in seclusion? I can escort you all the way."

Li Zhaoting immediately spoke up: "Patriarch Murong, what do you think of the Kingdom of Kucha? You may feel awkward living in Sword Casting City, but the Kingdom of Kucha has no enmity with you. I will write a letter, and you can take up a sinecure as a retainer."

Guan Yutian has held a high position for many years, but his life skills are almost non-existent. If he were to live in seclusion in the countryside, he would probably starve to death. He would need to find a job to support himself in his old age.

Guan Yutian bowed and said, "From now on, there will be no more Supreme Alliance Leader Guan Yutian, only the carefree Murong Hua. To be honest, I am not used to a life of simple food and drink. Thank you, Master Li, for arranging my accommodation."

"It was just a small favor, nothing to mention."

The treasure of the Demon Sword Clan is too large. Keeping the treasure will make them a target of everyone's hatred and cause endless trouble. Rather than being bound by the gold mine, it would be better to close the Chess King Cave.

In Li Zhaoting's view, this gold was the last trap left by Ying Shuntian. Ying Shuntian's sword could not break through five hundred years, but his money could.

Money is the most powerful weapon in the world, and even a thousand years from now, gold will still be the best weapon.

When bad guys get this money, they will use it to expand their power and attract countless powerful enemies. Many bad guys who get the treasure will kill each other for the gold.

Once a chivalrous person obtains this money, they will try to use it to benefit the people. This is extremely difficult and will take a great deal of time, until they are very old.

When martial artists acquire this money, they either exhaust themselves trying to protect it or throw it away. Their sincere martial spirit is inevitably disturbed by the allure of gold.

This is the power of money.

Even the mighty Calabash Brothers couldn't escape the allure of money.

The eldest son, who was like heaven and earth and possessed immense strength, capable of carrying mountains and chasing the moon, was defeated by the trap of "money-grubbing."

The Calabash Brothers have a very obvious metaphor.

The eldest brother, with his immense strength, was defeated by money; the second brother, with his far-seeing eyes and keen hearing, was defeated by evil influences; the third brother, who was indestructible, was given the cold shoulder; the fourth brother, who could breathe fire, couldn't cook the rice properly; the fifth brother, who could breathe water, was splashed with dirty water; the sixth brother, who could turn invisible, had an extra tail and was falsely accused; and the seventh brother's magic gourd was hollowed out from the inside by termites.

The starting point for the Calabash Brothers' defeat was—money!
Li Zhaoting loathed all the messy, trivial matters, so he simply closed off the Chess King Cave. If he ever needed money, he could just ask Wan Sanqian for alms, and Wan Sanqian would certainly not refuse.

In a few words, they agreed on the ownership of the treasure.

Of course, before that, the treasures in the Chess King Cave need to be taken away. The Chess King Cave has been closed for five hundred years, and there are countless precious medicinal herbs of ancient origin in the dense forest.

The spiritual energy of the secret realm is relatively abundant, and medicinal herbs accumulate medicinal properties at an extremely fast rate. One year in the Chess King Cave is equivalent to seven or eight years, or even more than ten years, in the outside world.

A casual search revealed over a dozen plants with astonishing medicinal properties, including ginseng, lingzhi, he shou wu, and poria.

Li Zhaoting wove a bamboo basket and carried two large baskets full of medicinal herbs. Wang Shenglan took a few pieces of gold as souvenirs from the treasure hunt, and then sealed off the Chess King Cave.

The hidden arrow escorted the official to the Kingdom of Kucha.

Li Zhaoting and his two companions returned to Sword Casting City.

Eh?
Did you forget something?

Where did Yi Shuihan go?

Yi Shuihan was captured alive by Dongfang Baishi.

Dongfang Baishi is an extreme martial arts fanatic with exceptional talent in martial arts. In order to learn martial arts, Dongfang Baishi abandoned everything and challenged strong people in the martial arts world alone.

In his middle age, he wanted to come back to see his family, only to find that the Four Directions Sect had been destroyed and his family was ruined. He thought that apart from his nephew Dongfang Yu, he had no other relatives. He wanted to do something for his family, at least to avenge them.

Unexpectedly, Yi Shuihan, the young expert who killed Nangong Lie and was suspected of killing Dongfang Qingmu, turned out to be his biological son, with a family tattoo on his chest.

Yes, it's another case of using tattoos to identify relatives.

Dongfang Baishi's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He thought to himself, "My own son killed my own brother. God, strike me down!"

No heavenly thunder struck.

Dongfang Baishi didn't know what to do, so he could only capture Yi Shuihan and interrogate her in a secluded place. Yi Shuihan had cultivated the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique and could keenly sense changes in emotions, so she could guess Dongfang Baishi's thoughts.

No matter what Dongfang Baishi asked him, Yi Shuihan always steered the conversation back to his impoverished childhood and the trauma of his past.

Why did I suffer poverty in my childhood? Why did it leave me with childhood trauma? I have to ask my irresponsible father who abandoned his wife and children. Old man, if you want revenge, go and kill my father first!

You want to kill me?

Let them kill us!
Anyway, I'm a fatherless wild child!

What could Dongfang Baishi say?
He only hoped that a bolt of lightning would strike him from the sky and pulverize him, preferably scattering his soul to dust. He didn't even want to be a ghost, much less go to the underworld.

Dongfang Baishi was too ashamed to go down and see Dongfang Qingmu.

Yi Shuihan sensed Dongfang Baishi's guilt. Thinking of Dongfang Baishi's unparalleled martial arts skills, his eyes darted around, and he thought, "I'm your son. I'm asking you to teach me martial arts. You won't hold back, will you?" He tentatively asked some questions…

This really hits the nail on the head for Dongfang Baishi.

Dongfang Baishi loved martial arts most in his life. He would stop in his tracks whenever he saw a new martial art and would insist on learning it. In addition, he was exceptionally gifted and learned hundreds of martial arts techniques.

How incredibly gifted is Dongfang Baishi?

The Four Directions Mysterious Skill of the Four Directions Sect is normally performed by four people working together. In the original story, Dongfang Baishi guided Yuan Xiaotian and others to practice the four-person formation. In the process, they actually integrated the four mysterious skills into one. One person used the combined mysterious skills, which is also called: Four Symbols Returning to Origin Qi!
No matter which of the despicable things Yi Shuihan had done was mentioned, it was impossible to bring them up without getting beaten up by Dongfang Baishi. The only thing that was okay was mentioning his martial arts skills.

Dongfang Baishi loved martial arts so much that his obsession with it surpassed even that of Kumārajīva.

"The essence of the Beijing Film Academy's secret techniques..."

"To cultivate demonic seeds within the Daoist heart, pushing heresy and madness to their extremes, nurturing demonic seeds with the Daoist heart, seizing the creation of heaven and earth—wonderful, truly wonderful..."

Dongfang Baishi's secret to quickly becoming addicted to martial arts.

Yi Shuihan revealed a cold smile.

Yi Shuihan felt no affection for this father who had abandoned his wife and children for twenty years and then suddenly appeared; he only wanted to squeeze every last drop of martial arts knowledge from Dongfang Baishi.

……

Sword Forging City.

Sword Master looked at Li Zhaoting with an ambiguous expression.

No matter how skilled Li Zhaoting was at reading people, he couldn't read the Sword Master's thoughts from his expression. The Sword Master's expression was more than just a pancake shape with a hint of shock and a hint of fear; it was a hodgepodge of emojis.

Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty; cheating, deception, and theft.

It's not like looking at a son-in-law; it's more like looking at a big devil in sheep's clothing, who talks nicely but actually pockets all the benefits.

Li Zhaoting felt a chill run down his spine from the look in her eyes, and his heart pounded with unease. He couldn't help but ask, "Father-in-law, is there anything I can do for you? I will do my best to help!"

Sword Master gasped and asked, "I'm only curious about one thing, can you help me analyze it?"

"Father-in-law, please speak. Your son-in-law will answer to the best of his knowledge!"

"You won't let me compete for the Frost Sword. I really can't compete for the Frost Sword, nor can I seize the treasure, and I'm no match for that Jia Shifang. But, my dear son-in-law, you say you're indifferent to everything, yet the Frost Sword and the treasure are both in your hands. Are you truly indifferent, or are you just cunning and calculating?"

"I swear, this was an accident!"

"Ask Guan Yutian if he believes it or not!"

"Guan Yutian believed it wholeheartedly! He willingly gave the Heart Sword to Huai Xiu, and the Demon Sword was the prize. Ren Qianxing lost the game of chess, and the Demon Sword was the agreed-upon wager."

How do you explain the treasure of the Demon Sword Clan?

"Fang Yeyu wanted to play the cicada, taking advantage of our chess game to plunder the treasure. Unexpectedly, the treasure turned out to be two huge golden chess pieces, which could only be cut into pieces and moved."

In the previous siege of Sword Forging City, Jian Yin shot and killed the Mongol Yuan master You Chidi. His decades-long partner, Qiang Wangsheng, fought Guan Yutian to the death to avenge him.

Helian Ba ​​also wanted to fight Guan Yutian to the death.

Guan Yutian used his innate internal energy to repel the two.

The vengeful spirits that had lurked in the Chess King Cave for five hundred years amplified the Demon Sword, causing Ren Qianxing to become possessed by demonic energy. He wielded the Demon Sword and went on a killing spree. In order to protect Fang Yeyu, the Red Sun Dharma King ambushed Ren Qianxing, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Realizing that he had been tricked, Ren Qianxing took the initiative to cut his own throat with his sword.

Using a fleeting glimpse of demonic energy, the son-in-law located Jia Shifang and led his men to surround and kill him...

In fact, during this treasure hunt, the son-in-law only made one move, killing one person in a five-person attack, and only taking 20% ​​of the kills.

All other killings are none of my concern.

I really don't want the treasure. Two thick, long golden pillars.

"Once I get my hands on it, I'll be thinking about it day and night, and others will covet it. It's better to leave it in the Chess King's Cave."

Li Zhaoting felt he was more wronged than Dou E.

In the past, they would go on a killing spree every time they went out, but this time, five against one, they only managed to kill Jia Shifang.

Li Zhaoting believes his team contributed 20% of the team's contribution.

With Jian Yin involved in the battle, Jia Shifang certainly wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, regardless of whether Li Zhaoting participated or not.

The difference is that Li Zhaoting did not participate in the war, and Jia Shifang's fate was to be seriously injured and flee. Li Zhaoting participated in the war, and Jia Shifang's fate was to be reduced to ashes and leave no trace.
Sword Master's face darkened. "Do you believe that? Are you even speaking human language? Are you making up a story?"

Who would believe your nonsense?

The Red Sun Dharma King's ultimate weapon is clearly meant to be used against you, not just a sneak attack on Ren Qianxing?
If you see the Red Sun Dharma King, you will definitely try to get rid of him; you can't let the Red Sun Dharma King escape!

Sword Master's complaints are reasonable, but things often don't. Red Sun Dharma King did indeed only ambush Ren Qianxing. Li Zhaoting originally wanted to deal with Red Sun Dharma King, but with Jia Shifang's appearance, he would definitely have to kill the evil Taoist first.

The Red Sun Dharma King is an assassin, a killer. No matter how skillful his methods are, how many assassinations can he carry out?

Jia Shifang's threats are terrifying!

If you encounter it, you must kill it.

If Jia Shifang were to go to the Central Plains, he would be jointly hunted down by Wudang, Shaolin, the Six Doors, and the Imperial City Guard, and there would be absolutely no way for him to survive.

People like Jia Shifang either don't cause trouble at all, or they cause something truly extraordinary. Back then, when he was in the Qing Dynasty, he pretended to be a god and caused a ruckus, clearly wanting to become the Qing Dynasty's national advisor, bewitch the emperor with the art of immortality, and manipulate the dynasty's destiny.

Ultimately, they were countered by the "dynastic destiny".

Yinxiang keenly sensed Jia Shifang's intentions. Before his death, he called Yongzheng to his bedside and said, "Fourth Brother, I am about to die. Please help me fulfill my last wish!"

The affection between Yongzheng and Yinxiang needs no further explanation. Yinxiang's last wish was to be fulfilled no matter what. Yinxiang wanted to make the evil Taoist priest die with him, so he immediately ordered his men to surround and kill the evil Taoist priest.

Jia Shifang fled to the Liao Kingdom after being seriously injured. Realizing that he had acted too hastily, he devised many schemes and used various methods to influence Empress Xiao. At the same time, he secretly infiltrated the Western Regions to sow demonic seeds, attempting to make a comeback in the Western Regions.

The village massacre that Li Nanxing mentioned back then, where the village was slaughtered by Jia Shifang, inexplicably returned to its original state. The reason is simple: this village is a "Yin-Yang Village".

This is a method of achieving immortality devised by a heretic.

A group of twins were selected and raised in different villages. Through strict postnatal control, it was ensured that the villagers in the two villages were exactly the same, not only in appearance but also in experience.

For example: If Ahua from the inner village marries Damao, then Ahua from the outer village must also marry Damao!
This involves a whole bunch of weird stuff like Yin-Yang secret arts, Yin alchemy, and finding dragon veins. Yi Jifeng had seen some of it when he joined forces with the Carefree King.

It made Yi Jifeng vomit for three days straight.

In Yi Jifeng's words, "Before an emperor takes the elixir of immortality, he must never look at the ingredient list, otherwise he will either be unable to swallow it or suffer disaster after taking it!"

Fortunately, with Jia Shifang's death, these crooked and evil practices will not reappear for some time.

If he must appear, he must cause trouble in the martial world. If you encounter Li Zhaoting, please take a detour. If you meet him head-on, you will surely be killed by the Heavenly Sword.

Sword Master was somewhat interested in Jia Shifang and had a strong fantasy about the art of immortality. Upon hearing Li Zhaoting's unfriendly tone, he immediately changed his tune and cursed Jia Shifang, saying that a mere dead man was not as important as his own son-in-law and that he should not delay the process of holding his grandson!
……

"At this point in life, what more could one ask for!"

Li Zhaoting lay in the hot spring pool, with the charming and shy Jianxiong on his left and the seemingly dignified and virtuous but actually audacious Cheng Huaixiu on his right. Wang Shenglan rested her head on Li Zhaoting's lap, while Meizhu gently massaged him from behind.

At such times, people tend to enter a state of detachment from desires and wants, and their thoughts become unrestrained, allowing them to connect a flower, a blade of grass, or a tree with the universe and the starry sky.

Li Zhaoting thought of the "Heavenly Sword Destiny".

In Li Zhaoting's memory, "Tianjian" was a jinxed lone star who played the erhu at full health but wandered around aimlessly when his health was low.

Compared to himself, Li Zhaoting's aura was indeed sufficient, but he was not a "heavenly evil spirit" but an "acquired evil spirit." The heavenly evil spirit was directed at himself, while the acquired evil spirit was directed at outsiders.

Furthermore, Tianjian is not some kind of saint.

The Heavenly Sword's reputation was earned through bloodshed.

However, the "Heavenly Sword" had caused too much and too cruel killing, and the loss of his beloved wife had led to a decline in his will, which is why he gradually became a saint.

He also lost his mind!
It's like a signal.

The villains, wanting to cause trouble, must scheme against Tianjian.

When Heavenly Sword is targeted, it will inevitably fall into a trap.

When I'm at full health, I wander the streets and alleys playing the erhu.

When you're low on health, go all out to fight the demon.

With his martial arts skills crippled, it practically became his daily practice.

Ugh!
The Supreme Heavenly Sword, a calamity that will last for millennia.

Where is the "heart of calamity" located?
What if the "Heavenly Sword" is the "Heart of Calamity"?

Li Zhaoting's thoughts drifted to outer space.

Jianxiong and Cheng Huaixiu lay beside Li Zhaoting, not wanting to move a single finger. Only Wang Shenglan was full of energy, which made Jianxiong and Cheng Huaixiu envious. She was indeed a pillar of the family and an indispensable person in the Li family.

Cheng Huaixiu suddenly thought of something.

If Wang Shenglan were pregnant, how would the sisters cope? The demonic sect's witches were all weaklings, and so was the Fairy of Jingzhai. The more they thought about it, the more hopeless they felt.

Could it be that I'm going to be... oh dear...

Cheng Huaixiu pinched Li Zhaoting in embarrassment and annoyance.

Li Zhaoting: ┓(`)┏

"Huaixiu, what's wrong?"

"Honey, I... this..."

"My lord, Huai Xiu was just thinking, if I were pregnant, would those sisters be...?"

Wang Shenglan clenched her fists and waved her arms.

Cheng Huaixiu, embarrassed and angry, wanted to chase after Wang Shenglan, but her limbs were weak and powerless. Wang Shenglan pressed her down by the hot spring pool and laughed, "Husband, Huaixiu still has the strength, but you are not strong enough!"

"is it?"

Li Zhaoting did two chest expansion exercises, gently stretching his abdominal muscles, and his joints cracked.

Cheng Huaixiu pleaded in terror, "Master! I truly submit! I'll listen to whatever you say. This is all what Sheng Lan said; Sheng Lan is provoking you!"

"Hmph! You dare disobey me!"

Wang Shenglan easily suppressed Cheng Huaixiu.

With a casual wave of his arm, he surpasses even the Leifeng Pagoda.

Even though Cheng Huaixiu possessed supernatural powers that could overturn rivers and seas and flood Jinshan Temple, he was easily subdued by Wang Shenglan.

……

"Lord City Lord, there is a letter for you!"

Bai Yu'er called out from outside the hot spring pool.

As Jianxiong's personal secretary, Bai Yu'er had access to 99% of the places in Sword Forging City, including the hot springs. However, even if Bai Yu'er had the greatest courage, she wouldn't dare to stop the young master from being reincarnated while Li Zhaoting and his concubines were playing in the hot springs.

In fact, Jianxiong didn't care if Bai Yuer came in; he was even happy about it.

Bai Yu'er's position determined that she was highly bound to the Sword Forging City. To be precise, Bai Yu'er and Jian Xiong were one, just like Feng Suzhen and Mei Zhu.

Jianxiong had also heard that the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect was a stubborn and weakling with extremely poor combat strength, and that she brought four maids with her to prevent Wang Shenglan from bullying her.

Although the dowry members were also weaklings, five weaklings ganging up on each other were equivalent to one strong weakling. They couldn't beat Wang Shenglan, but they were enough to deal with others.

Jianxiong felt that as the lord of the Sword Forging City, it was perfectly reasonable for him to bring a dowry when he got married.

This kind of thing can't be made too obvious.

If it were so easy to provide dowries, the Queen of Kucha would have already cultivated dozens of blue-eyed Hu women.

Jianxiong sighed, thinking to himself that while other young mistresses were wary of their husbands taking concubines, he had to offer himself up. No, he wasn't even a young mistress; he was a concubine. At this thought, Jianxiong felt that life was meaningless.

She donned a light veil and went outside to retrieve the letter.

The letter was addressed to Li Zhaoting, but the recipient didn't know how to contact him, so he forwarded it to the city lord of Sword Forging City. The letter bore the symbol of the Four Directions Gate.

Elder of the Four Directions Sect, Dongfang Baishi!

Jianxiong frowned.

Who is Dongfang Baishi?

Li Zhaoting glanced at the letter and smiled, "There were some loose ends from the battle for the Chess Treasure. Today is the perfect day to take care of them. I can do it myself."

Jianxiong said coquettishly, "My lord, usually it's Sister Wang and Sister Cheng who accompany you when you go out, while I've always stayed in the cold and desolate Sword Forging City. You should treat everyone equally."

"Have you mastered the Western Thunder Profound Technique?"

"My physique is perfectly suited to the Xilei Profound Technique. I've not only reached the beginner level, I've already mastered it!"
