Martial Arts Showdown: My Wife Asked Me to Be the Champion

Chapter 173 Lu Xiaofeng: Xu Qingya, you've finally fallen into my hands!

How to deal with a turtle with a high health bar?

This question is not difficult to answer.

The answer is to keep hacking away, one strike after another!

A boss with a health bar isn't scary; once it shows its health bar, it's destined to be defeated.

With Lao Tzu's "Martial Saint" and "Breaking Army" skills, let alone a mere fifteen health points, he can cripple even a mere thirty health points!

Xu Qingya reached out and caught the Magpie Blade and the Ancient Ding Blade simultaneously. He gripped the Ancient Ding Blade with his left hand and the Magpie Blade with his right, and with both blades moving in parallel, he slashed and struck.

Huo Xiu sneered. He assumed a horse stance, and his entire body flashed with dazzling golden light, accompanied by a surge of true energy that transformed into a golden armor.

Indestructible Vajra Body Divine Skill!

One of the Five Great Shaolin Skills!

The most famous practitioner was Kongjian!

Huo Xiu did not possess the great compassion of Master Kongjian, but he had countless rare and precious natural treasures, including hundreds of-year-old ginseng roots, five of which could be eaten in one meal.

There was no boundless Buddhist power, nor any law that could penetrate it; there was only an absolute quantity brought about by a massive amount of rare and precious materials. Accompanying the golden armor was a gleaming golden bell.

The magnificent golden bell aura enveloped Huo Xiu completely. The golden bell materialized, its patterns almost solidified, and the radiant Buddhist light condensed into a rotating Buddhist seal, making it even more awe-inspiring and unapproachable.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded.

He knew Huo Xiu was hiding his true strength, but he didn't expect him to be hiding it this deep. With just these two protective divine skills, Huo Xiu could remain undefeated against most of the experts on the Heavenly Gang Ranking and let them make their moves at will.

When Bodhidharma mastered the Golden Bell Shield, he could withstand the punches, kicks, slashes, and stabs from various martial arts masters, even after being given poison and boiled in oil. Yet, when he emerged, he was still full of energy and unharmed.

Huo Xiu's Golden Bell Shield had not reached its peak, but the combination of the two ultimate techniques made its defensive power despair-inducing.

In a flash, the Magpie Blade and the Ancient Ding Blade struck the Golden Bell Qi Shield simultaneously. A tremendous bell-like sound, like the sound of a morning bell and evening drum, resounded. The tangible yet intangible sonic energy spread in all directions and was reflected off the mountain wall. This huge cave was also a Golden Bell.

When a person is locked inside a golden bell, and someone outside keeps ringing the bell, it can kill the person alive.

This is the method that Horthy used.

Just like the "big trumpet" of the Lion's Roar Kung Fu, it takes advantage of the terrain to amplify the formless sound energy several times over.

The Golden Bell Shield is strong in defense but weak in offense. To compensate for its shortcomings in offensive capabilities, after breaking through the tenth level, it is no longer simply a defensive system.

Instead of dissipating, deflecting, or counter-vibrating, it utilizes massive resonant vibrations to transform the enemy's attack into formless sonic energy, which is then countered with double the power of Buddhist thunderous sound, making it even more powerful than the "Lion's Roar."

Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly activated the "Bodhi Zen Five Skills" he had learned from Master Kugua to block his hearing. Hua Baifeng and Qin Nanqin were already prepared, plugging their ears tightly with earplugs, sitting cross-legged, and exchanging breaths with each other. By using the rebound of their true energy, they dispelled the formless sound energy.

The two were merely testing each other, using little force. They each took two steps back, and Huo Xiu sneered, "Everyone says Xu Qingya's sword is invincible and unstoppable, but it seems he's not living up to the reputation. I'm truly disappointed!"

Xu Qingya's eyes flashed with bloodlust: "If the Shaolin Golden Bell Shield only offers this level of defense, then it's truly disappointing. Huo Xiu, prepare to die!"

Xu Qing'an landed on the cliff and rushed towards Huo Xiu with lightning speed. He swung his swords inward with both hands at the same time, using the Twin Peaks Piercing Ears technique. The sound of the ancient sword in his left hand vibrating was very similar to the mantra of Tantric Buddhism, while the sword light gathered in his right hand, the Magpie Sword, had somehow turned into a serrated shape. He was chanting incantations!

Xu Qingya read aloud: "All!"

The "皆" character corresponds to the "Outer Binding Seal," which can enhance the senses, perceive danger, and find weaknesses.

In addition, it has another special and ingenious use.

The word "皆" is a homophone for "解" (meaning "to resolve"). The accompanying energy has a special "dissolution" power, which is most effective against various protective divine skills. If Huo Xiu's Golden Bell Shield was crafted bit by bit, it would naturally not be afraid of external binding seals. But where would Huo Xiu find the time to practice martial arts diligently?

His skill was acquired through elixirs, so his foundation was inevitably somewhat weak.

With his left hand wielding the Ancient Ding Blade, he launched an attack using the outer binding seal. His right hand wielded the Magpie Blade, which was already effective against the protective aura. Both blades simultaneously slashed at the Golden Bell's aura shield. His left hand cut through flesh, creating a large hole in the Golden Bell, while his right hand sawed through wood, accompanied by a burst of sparks. The Golden Bell flickered between light and shadow.

No one would have thought that Huo Xiu, who was proficient in many protective divine abilities, would be cut to the brink of death by Xu Qingya in just two moves. Huo Xiu's eyes widened and he fiercely activated the Residual Yuan Life-Destroying Technique, causing the Golden Bell Qi Shield to explode.

The fierce and unparalleled energy surged wildly, spreading in all directions. The internal force swept up sand and soil, surging like ocean waves, crashing against the surroundings wave after wave.

Xu Qingya stood rooted to the ground, like a steadfast pillar in the midst of the waves. When the energy struck Xu Qingya, it was sliced ​​open by the sharp blade energy, leaving a large triangular mark on Xu Qingya's back.

"You cowards, how dare you defy me!"

Xu Qingya leaped into the air, brandishing his twin blades. He unleashed another move, "Double Peaks Piercing the Ears," and as the blades spun, he changed his grip from upright to inverted, switching between his left and right hands. The Magpie Blade spun, polished, and refined like a flying wheel, while the Ancient Ding Blade attacked fiercely, each move powerful and domineering!

Huo Xiu never expected that Xu Qingya's swordsmanship would be so effective against his protective qi. His protective qi, which had been built by consuming a huge amount of rare and precious materials, was like a piece of straw paper in front of Xu Qingya, and could only withstand two or three blows at most.

Whether it's the Golden Bell or the Golden Armor, they are nothing but motionless targets in front of the Magpie Blade and the Ancient Ding Blade. Every time the blades fall, they slash and scatter golden sparks.

Five Tigers Severing the Gate Saber - Tiger Crouching, Dragon Coiling!

This move was originally a defensive stance. The blade moved with the body, spinning smoothly and freely. The blade light surrounded the body, dancing like a silver disc. Power was gathered while spinning, and the blade always faced outward, deflecting the enemy's weapons and counterattacking. At this moment, Xu Qingya used this move with both hands at the same time, like a millstone, constantly wearing down Huo Xiu's true energy. Every time the two blades spun, Huo Xiu was terrified. The sounds of slashing and killing never stopped.

Golden Bell Shield, broken!

The Buddha's light protects you, but you're broken!

Tortoise Shell Divine Skill, broken!

Invincible Body Technique, broken!

Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break!

The twin blades were like a millstone, a flywheel, and a mincing machine. Anything or anyone that stood in their way would be crushed by the relentless blades. The "sizzling" noise filled the cave, and the sound of fingernails scratching glass echoed through the cave after bouncing off the mountain walls. Lu Xiaofeng, who had wanted to listen to the battle, was almost scared to death.

Taking a beating passively is not in Huo Xiu's nature. No matter how long his health bar is, he will be cut to pieces by Xu Qingya sooner or later.

As his protective aura crumbled one after another, Huo Xiu's fighting spirit grew stronger. In the face of life and death, life is always the most important thing, and a wounded and sick tiger is the most ferocious.

"call!"

An extremely heavy palm print slammed towards Xu Qingya.

Mount Sumeru Palm, one of the three great palm techniques of Shaolin, can store power in the void, as if Mount Sumeru is hidden in the palm. The power of the palm will not be reduced due to distance. It is the strongest palm technique of Shaolin. The disadvantage is that it requires too high a foundation and is extremely difficult to master. Even if you master it, you must concentrate your mind and gather your energy before you can use it. Only a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Gang can use this technique.

Huo Xiu had no shortage of accumulated skill. His internal strength was extremely profound, even more so than those ninety-year-old monks of Shaolin. He raised his hands, his right hand unleashing the Sumeru Mountain Palm and his left hand unleashing the Vajra Fist!

"Now that's more interesting! Hitting a motionless target is no different from ringing a bell!"

Xu Qingya crossed his hands, the hilts of his two swords stacked in reverse, the blades forming an "S" shape. He wielded the swords simultaneously, creating a dazzling display of blade flowers.

Spring and Autumn Sword Technique: Crescent Moon!

Righteousness strikes against the tide, bringing peace to the common people of Wu'an.

Demonic Blade Technique: Overturning the Sea!

Overturning rivers and seas, the universe is set in motion.

Xu Qingya's mind was too chaotic and cluttered to master ambidextrous fighting, but the two sword techniques, when combined, could enhance their power.

The technique isn't particularly difficult to practice.

No matter how many protective divine skills Huo Xiu was proficient in, or how many protective treasures he wore, from the moment he chose the "cave," a battlefield where he could not move at will, he was destined to clash with Xu Qingya and was destined to fail!

Huo Xiu originally intended to use the cave environment to amplify the formless sonic energy reflected by the Golden Bell Shield, but unexpectedly, the Golden Bell Shield was broken by Xu Qingya. He was trapped by his own actions, and his dodging space was restricted by the cave. He could only engage in head-on collisions. The more times they clashed, the more his true essence and blood qi fluctuated.

"Sizzle!"

The golden silk armor was cleaved in two by the ancient sword.

"Snap!"

The alien sea monster's hide armor was cut open by the magpie's blade.

"Sizzle!"

The silk inner armor, subjected to continuous slashing, could no longer withstand the blows and turned into a tattered rag.

Huo Xiu felt like a small boat in a raging storm and a vast ocean, rising and falling with the waves. No matter how much he resisted, he would eventually be swept into the undercurrents. Every time he tried to fight back, he would return empty-handed.

Xu Qingya wielded two long swords, his blood and qi surging with each strike. He used everything from the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique to the Demonic Sword, from the Demonic Sword to the Wei Clan Sword Manual, from the Wei Clan Sword Manual to the Ice Jade Sword Technique, and even the Six Arts of Aohan.

Attack! Slash!

Slash! Attack!

There was no room for maneuvering or defensive maneuvering, only relentless offense!

"Pfft!"

Huo Xiu's arm was cut by the magpie knife, and a splatter of blood flew into the air, turning his face extremely pale.

Xu Qingya's momentum surged like a tiger, and he swung back with another heavy slash. The ancient sword fell from the air, and Huo Xiu barely managed to take two steps back. Unexpectedly, Xu Qingya had calculated the direction perfectly. When the sword was slashing down vertically, it tilted and drew an arc, turning from a powerful cleaving of Mount Hua into a sweeping attack. A dazzling blade light, like a sea of ​​blood, flashed by, and Huo Xiu's waist and abdomen were covered in blood.

The Spring and Autumn Period Sword Technique is unparalleled!

Demonic Blade Technique: Breaking Army!

The twin blades suddenly slashed down, the blade light stretching into thin, thread-like sheets. Due to the excessive speed, the air emitted a mournful sound as if it could not bear the weight, the noise was deafening and disturbing. Huo Xiu was already seriously injured, and the demonic sound pierced his ears. Knowing that he could not avoid this strike, he could only barely gather his last bit of strength and unleash a powerful Vajra Fist, not seeking to defeat Xu Qingya, but only hoping to buy himself a chance to catch his breath.

"boom!"

A fierce clash ensued, filling the sky with smoke and dust.

The entire cave felt like the earth was shaking.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, blood suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption, followed by something flying out, rolling on the ground, and getting stuck in a crevice in the rock wall.

Lu Xiaofeng waved his sleeves to disperse the dust and looked closely. Xu Qingya stood there with a knife in hand, majestic and awe-inspiring, like a god or a demon. Huo Xiu was lying on the ground with half his body on the ground, his head rolling to the corner of the wall, his eyes filled with terror.

Even after being killed by Xu Qingya, Huo Xiu still couldn't understand how he died! Why did things turn out this way? What should I do with my money?

Lu Xiaofeng was unable to answer his question.

Xu Qingya could not possibly answer Huo Xiu's questions.

Because Xu Qingya's injuries were also quite serious.

Huo Xiu's combat experience was so-so, but his skill was too profound. The martial arts he was proficient in were all Shaolin's best techniques honed through countless trials. They were all top-notch masculine martial arts, and how could he not get injured in a head-on clash with no defense?

However, Xu Qingya wielded two divine weapons, giving him an absolute advantage in attack. Coupled with his extensive combat experience, he spotted Huo Xiu's weakness at the very beginning of the battle, seized the initiative, and relentlessly beat Huo Xiu from start to finish until Huo Xiu was decapitated.

Qin Nanqin and Hua Baifeng quickly stepped forward.

One of them wiped the blood from the corner of Xu Qingya's mouth.

One of them gave Xu Qingya a healing elixir.

Lu Xiaofeng chuckled and said, "Your injuries are quite severe! You can't move right now, can you?"

"Uh—what do you want to do?"

"Xu Qingya, Xu Qingya, you could never have imagined that I was the mastermind behind everything. Now, Huo Xiu is dead, you are seriously injured, everyone is under my control, and all the treasure is mine!"

Lu Xiaofeng winked and talked nonsense.

Xu Qingya retorted, "Lu the Black Hand, shouldn't you look behind you? You've sealed your hearing to resist the Formless Sound Barrage, haven't you noticed there are two more people here? My two wives are right behind you!"

Lu Xiaofeng sneered: "So what?"

Xu Qingya shrugged: "My wives meticulously studied a series of formations to deal with me. The one used to deal with the crossed-hands a few days ago was this very formation. If you don't understand the I Ching and Bagua, falling into this formation will result in endless attacks, and you'll eventually be beaten to a pulp!"

Xu Qingya made a "please" gesture.

Yang Yan and Yin Susu took their positions.

"I was just joking—"

"It's nothing, I was just joking!"

"Uncle Xu, please let me go!"

"I'm badly injured, I can't hear!"

"Whose serious injury involved a broken ear?"

"Of course, you're talking about the Xu family! My ancestor even injured his mouth! Haven't you heard? Xu Shu entered Cao Cao's camp without uttering a word. What does that mean? It means he accidentally injured his mouth while traveling!"

"I beep ...

Lu Xiaofeng vowed never to be sarcastic again.

Xu Qingya watched the play with great interest.

The Yin-Yang Two-Element Sword Formation is the most complex and ever-changing formation. Lu Xiaofeng is the perfect experience point, and it's a good opportunity for this master of the Inspiration Flow to test the formation.

Lu Xiaofeng grimaced, thinking that if he hit her too hard, Xu Qingya would chase after him and chop her up, and if he hit her too lightly, it wouldn't do any good. He might as well find a good opportunity to escape. No matter how powerful Xu Qingya's confidantes were, they would never abandon the seriously injured Xu Qingya to chase after and beat Lu Xiaofeng!

Yang Yan smiled and said, "Brother Lu, we just want to test the formation. Let me make it clear beforehand, this formation has tens of thousands of variations; it's the most complex formation in the world. Please don't be careless when the fight starts!"

"Tens of thousands of variations, I'll beep beep beep—"

"Brother Lu, be careful!"

Yang Yan swung her knife at Lu Xiaofeng's shoulder.

This battlefield is perfect.

In the cave battlefield, as long as the entrance is blocked, Lu Xiaofeng cannot escape and can only keep trying out different moves.

He's just unlucky!
