Martial Arts Crossover: Breaking the Rules Makes You Stronger, Female Benefactor, Please Wait

Having Xiao Nian by his side would not only help him temper his character, but also eliminate any concerns about his safety.

Once you embark on the path of martial arts, how can you reach the top if you don't personally face life and death and undergo tempering?

Being by Fahai's side not only provides guidance and encouragement but also ensures his safety.

This is the real reason why Xu Xiao made his choice.

"In exchange, I can shield you from Li Yang's pursuit. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Fahai's expression shifted slightly.

Stepping back into the martial world?

In the original story, when Xu Fengnian entered the martial arts world for the second time, Li Chungang should have accompanied him all the way.

How did I become myself now?

Is that old man in the sheepskin coat not coming out of the mountains this time?

Others may not know, but Fahai certainly does.

Although the Northern Liang royal palace may seem to lack a celestial being in charge, it is far from being as vulnerable as it appears.

Standing beside Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang, was a man known throughout the martial arts world for his handsome face, nicknamed "Northern Liang Nuclear Warhead."

Deep within Tingchao Lake lies Chu Kuangnu, imprisoned.

Beneath the Listening Tide Pavilion lies a swordsmanship prodigy once revered as a once-in-five-hundred-years talent—Li Chungang!

Unfortunately, he was filled with remorse for accidentally killing his beloved and imprisoned himself in a dungeon for twenty years.

Fahai withdrew his gaze from Tingchao Pavilion and gently shook his head.

He never restrained himself; agreeing to protect Xu Fengnian would be tantamount to putting an invisible shackle on himself.

This constraint made him extremely uncomfortable.

Protecting others is far more difficult than taking a life.

Besides, is the Li Yang Dynasty really that terrible?

Even the imperial palace has been breached, hasn't it?

Cao Changqing was able to come and go freely even after breaking into the imperial city three times. Doesn't that say something?

Fahai didn't take Li Yang's pursuit seriously.

If the emperor truly wishes to take his life, he may send someone.

Otherwise, once he breaks through to the Celestial Realm, he will definitely personally enter the palace and kill the murderous cat!

"If we kill that human-cat, we can reclaim the fortune that belongs to Nangong's mother." "King of Beiliang, this humble monk truly cannot agree."

Xu Xiao was taken aback, his face immediately darkened, and a sharp killing intent honed in the battles of the battlefield suddenly spread out!

Although he lacked profound martial arts skills, this King of Beiliang had personally experienced countless bloody battles and personally killed countless enemies, which had long since given him his own unique and imposing aura!

At this moment, that overwhelming pressure spread out in all directions, making people tremble with fear.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

As a high-ranking official in Liyang, second only to the emperor, he has been in charge of Beiliang for twenty years.

Xu Xiao hadn't experienced rejection in a long time.

"Not afraid."

Fahai faced the situation calmly and shook his head without hesitation.

Despite the great reputation of the Northern Liang Royal Palace, it has no true experts at the Celestial Realm.

Even if Chu Kuangnu were released from the water, he might not be willing to help him.

Li Chungang, having drawn a circle around himself, naturally wouldn't offer any help.

As for that "Northern Liang Nuclear Egghead," the two sides are evenly matched, and the outcome is unpredictable.

Its fame largely stemmed from the Xu family's 300,000-strong army.

With his abilities, if he wanted to leave, no one in the Prince's mansion could stop him.

Seeing this, Xu Xiao could only sigh and give up.

"In that case, the Northern Liang Royal Palace will no longer protect you in the slightest."

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Fahai remained calm and unconcerned.

With his own cultivation level, he was not afraid of Li Yang's covert assassination attempts.

After saying that, Xu Xiao turned and left.

Soon after, a cool and beautiful figure quietly appeared; it was none other than Minister Nangong.

"what's your plan?"

"My plans? Of course, it's to take you back."

Nangong sighed softly, "I will enter Tingchao Pavilion and will not leave until I reach the level of a Celestial Being."

The battle with Han Shengxuan rekindled the hatred deep within her heart.

She had already made a vow to avenge her mother.

If you lack the strength, it will be difficult to make those who have hurt you pay the price.

"The realm of celestial beings?"

Fahai smiled faintly and took out the Evil Emperor's Relic from his hand.

"This is... the relic of the Evil Emperor?"

Nangong had heard of this item before and knew that it had fallen into Fahai's possession.

"So the rumors were true, it really is with you."

Fahai nodded: "This contains the life-long power and essence of all the evil emperors of the past, as well as their inherited techniques."

"Although most of the internal energy has been used up, the essence and martial arts remain."

"And the key to the realm of the celestial beings lies hidden here."

"Oh?"

Nangong looked slightly puzzled, "Since your internal energy has been exhausted, how can you use it to break through?"

The answer is—absorb the Evil Emperor's Relic!

This thing still contains the true energy of generations of masters from the Demonic Sect.

Last time, Fahai only managed to extract less than a third of it.

Now is the perfect time to absorb the remaining power together with Nangong.

This relic of the Evil Emperor is indeed extraordinary!

As the two activated their power, the hidden, terrifying true energy was instantly awakened and perfectly released.

An immense aura surged forth from the relic, sweeping towards the two of them.

The two subconsciously activated their own techniques, frantically absorbing the pure power that permeated the entire space.

I do not know how long it has been--

The accumulation within Nangong's body was nearing its limit.

What's standing in her way now is the threshold of "celestial being"!

That realm she had always dreamed of.

Only by reaching the realm of the celestial beings can one truly be called a strong person of this era, and this is also the first step into the ranks of the elite.

If she could break through this barrier, she would have the power to avenge her mother! This had always been her obsession.

Nangong took a deep breath, his beautiful face filled with solemnity.

The surging true energy transformed into towering waves, relentlessly crashing against that final barrier!

Waves of surging energy crashed against that invisible constraint!

Finally, after countless impacts—a crack!

It was as if something hard had shattered!

A surge of true energy instantly rushed in and circulated throughout his body!

At the same time, the heavens and earth trembled, the wind and clouds changed, and endless primordial energy of heaven and earth surged into her body like a tide!

She has finally entered the realm of "celestial beings"!

Outside the door,

Xu Fengnian stood at the door, a slight smile on his lips, staring at the door that remained tightly closed.

"It's been several days already, what are they doing in there?" he muttered to himself.

He turned to Xu Weixiong beside him: "Sis, do you know what they're doing?"

In this situation, one must address Xu Weixiong as "sister," otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable—this is based on Xu Fengnian's experience over the years.

Xu Weixiong remained calm: "Don't meddle in other people's business. Since you've chosen to practice martial arts, you should spend more time practicing instead."

She never supported Xu Fengnian's path to martial arts, and therefore always treated him coldly.

Having been rebuffed, Xu Fengnian could only purse his lips and turn away without saying another word.

Suddenly, strange phenomena appeared in the heavens and earth!

The heavens and earth churned, and purple energy surged from the east, its momentum overwhelming and blotting out the sun!

Purple clouds rolled and swirled, covering the sky and extending for miles around. In an instant, the entire Northern Liang Royal Palace trembled.
