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

Chapter 174 Zhang Danfeng: How does my idea compare to the Dugu Nine Swords?

With blueprints, it is not difficult to turn a piece of wood into a wooden knife or sword.

Even though the piece of wood was priceless and as hard as iron, Yan Tieshan had been busy making a plaque for the past few days and had invited many craftsmen.

Following the principle of "borrowing a bridge to travel a road", Yang Yan asked the craftsmen of Yan's mansion to make swords from the old ship wood.

The craftsmen Yan Tieshan hired were all veteran carpenters who had specialized in their craft for generations. Their skills in carpentry were in no way inferior to Zhu Ting's, and they quickly made the swords.

Before arriving at the First Pavilion of Green Robes, Yang Yan retrieved the swords from the carpenter. Since these weapons were custom-made according to height and arm span, she could easily familiarize herself with their weight by shaking them a couple of times, so the four women couldn't possibly have picked up the wrong weapons.

The advantages of using wooden swords and knives are that if you are facing an enemy, you can imbue them with your inner energy, and if you are facing a good friend, you will not hurt the other person when sparring.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng felt somewhat relieved.

Xu Qingya is unreasonable, but his wives are quite reasonable. Even when they are joking, they will voluntarily switch to wooden knives and swords to avoid accidental injury.

"Brother Lu, be careful!"

Yang Yan and Hua Baifeng simultaneously swung their swords, using the Reverse Yin-Yang Sword Technique, which was unpredictable. Lu Xiaofeng did not understand Yin-Yang Bagua, but he had been through many battles and had seen all kinds of martial arts. He easily dodged the wooden sword.

Before Lu Xiaofeng could retaliate, Yin Susu and Qin Nanqin joined forces with their swords and stabbed at Lu Xiaofeng's calf.

Neither of them had imbued their swords with true energy, so they wouldn't be injured even if they were hit a few times, but it was still very embarrassing.

Lu Xiaofeng was unwilling to admit defeat easily. His figure blurred as he circled between the two swords. Before he could even regain his footing, the two blades slashed down again.

Lu Xiaofeng never dreamed that there could be such an exquisite, perfectly formed, yet colorful and complex array in the world. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that the twin blades were an array and the twin swords were an array. Originally, they were only first-rate, but when the two were combined, the yin and yang of the blades complemented each other, increasing their power tenfold or a hundredfold.

In a one-on-one fight, Lu Xiaofeng easily won.

Lu Xiaofeng easily defeated the two.

Lu Xiaofeng easily defeated the three opponents.

Facing the four, Lu Xiaofeng felt as if he were facing an eight-armed monster, with swords and sabers woven into a net that covered everything above and below.

If they were to fight in an open area, Lu Xiaofeng could use his lightness skill to evade, soaring into the sky like a phoenix dancing in the heavens, uncatching anyone and disappearing without a trace.

Unfortunately, this is a cave.

To make matters worse, all four women had mastered the Lingbo Weibu technique. Without needing to be highly skilled, they could simply run mechanically according to a set pattern to naturally dodge attacks. As long as the enemy did not understand Yin Yang, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams, it would be extremely difficult to break the Lingbo Weibu.

In the original story, Duan Yu was not skilled in martial arts, nor did he understand any tricks or tactical maneuvers. He was completely unable to adapt to changing circumstances, yet he was able to stay unscathed from beginning to end using the Lingbo Weibu (Lingbo Steps). This was certainly due to the poor cultural level of his opponents, but the wondrous nature of the Lingbo Weibu itself could not be ignored.

Lu Xiaofeng, a martial artist who relies on intuition, could originally use his extremely keen spiritual sense to predict directions. However, the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) naturally complemented the Yin-Yang Sword Formation, making the formation even more complex.

The individual double-sword and double-blade formations have only sixty-four variations. When the swords and blades are combined and arranged, there are four thousand and ninety-six variations. Qin Nanqin's defensive formation of one defense and three offenses adds the three powers to the Yin and Yang, multiplying the variations by three. With the addition of the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), it is equivalent to adding all the eight trigrams on top of this.

Even if Liu Hui and Zu Chongzhi saw the Yin-Yang Sword and Saber Formation, they would probably feel dizzy and disoriented.

The two swords formed a curtain of light, densely surrounding him from all directions, like a sky full of stars. Lu Xiaofeng could only dodge constantly, looking for an opening.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaofeng formed a sword with his left hand and a knife with his right palm, using two skills simultaneously to counter the four women's moves.

The swordsmanship used with the left hand is all-encompassing. It may seem to consist of only a few basic sword stances, but upon closer inspection, it appears to integrate sword techniques from various schools and sects.

The sword technique he used with his right hand was clearly—the Creation Sword!

Lu Xiaofeng was exceptionally gifted. He learned his martial arts skills by haphazardly picking them up from the streets and alleys. This gave him a special ability: he could easily imitate 70-80% of any move he saw.

Other martial arts are limited by mental techniques, but the free-flowing martial art of the Creation Blade is most suitable for Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng's left-handed swordsmanship —

Xu Qingya could see that this method was similar to the Creation Blade, both being initial creations, but in terms of both conception and foundation, it was far superior to the Creation Blade.

Lu Xiaofeng's left-hand sword moves begin with "A Stick of Incense Facing the Sky," and the next move is "Black Bird Slicing Sand." "A Stick of Incense Facing the Sky" is an upward thrust, while "Black Bird Slicing Sand" is a backhand slashing move when crossing over with the enemy. The two moves are completely unrelated and do not form a system. To form a complete sword move, at least two spins are required.

However, Lu Xiaofeng flicked his fingertip, and Hua Baifeng instinctively dodged. Just then, Yang Yan moved to cover her position according to the formation. Lu Xiaofeng slashed his finger downwards, and just then used the Black Bird Slash Sand to block Yang Yan's wooden knife.

If Lu Xiaofeng hadn't formed a sword with his fingers together, but instead wielded a three-foot-long blade, Yang Yan would have had to retreat three steps with just that one move, otherwise her pulse points would have been injured.

From the perspective of an observer, Yang Yan seemed to have deliberately run into the sword's edge. Xu Qingya narrowed his eyes and saw the mystery of Lu Xiaofeng's move. The concept of this sword technique was too high. When it was used, it could naturally make the enemy reveal a flaw, or integrate the enemy's sword skills into one's own system, and learn the enemy's sword techniques on the spot.

Dugu Qiubai is still repairing shoes on the street. It seems that there is only one martial art left that can encompass everything and break all kinds of sword techniques. Lu Xiaofeng is really lucky!

The four women's Yin-Yang sword formation can evolve into endless moves, achieving "infinity" within the human body's tolerance range by constantly accumulating numbers. Lu Xiaofeng's two martial arts techniques are both infinitely varied.

With his right hand, he can wield a single sword, transforming countless things into one; with his left hand, he can make countless

The five of them found themselves in a situation where they had to "grind their proficiency."

The sword and blade formation could not be stopped, and Lu Xiaofeng even entered a state of enlightenment, making his moves increasingly profound.

Lu Xiaofeng is not Xu Qingya; his mind is too quick and agile, and he quickly wakes up from his epiphany.

Xu Qingya awoke from his epiphany and habitually unleashed a powerful punch and kick, like the rising sun. Lu Xiaofeng also awoke from his epiphany, but his sense of danger told him there was no real danger, so he unconsciously relaxed his hands and feet.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

The wooden sword and knife struck Lu Xiaofeng on the buttocks.

Lu Xiaofeng let out a howl and was forced to flee in terror by the relentless barrage of swords and blades. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he leaped past the blockade of swords and blades and escaped through the secret passage.

"Xu Qingya, you have no martial ethics!"

"Hoshyu's fine wine is yours!"

"snort!"

Lu Xiaofeng gave a haughty snort and left the place as quickly as possible before the swords arrived.

Drinking two glasses of your wine would be too dangerous!

How come the Xu family has so many monsters?

Where did you find this amazing formation?

Lu Xiaofeng considered himself to be very knowledgeable, but he had never seen such a colorful and complex array in his life.

Yin Susu chuckled and said, "My lord, this wooden sword is quite useful. It can be used as a ruler to discipline our own people, a small punishment to set a bad example. Against enemies, it can become a powerful weapon at any time. Where did that Marco Polo bag come from? How come it has so many good things?"

Yang Yan asked, "Husband, Lu Xiaofeng uses the 'Creation Blade' technique, but his swordsmanship—I've never seen it before. Where did he learn it?"

Xu Qingya smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Lu Xiaofeng's swordsmanship comes from the Sword Master Zhang Danfeng. The all-encompassing swordsmanship that Zhang Danfeng studied in seclusion, capable of breaking through all techniques with a single sword strike, is this very swordsmanship. Lu Xiaofeng happened to meet Zhang Danfeng and received his guidance, learning some of the sword moves. He hadn't paid much attention to it initially, but now, facing the array of swords and sabers, he naturally used it."

Hua Baifeng couldn't help but complain, "If the devoted Zhang Danfeng saw a playboy like Lu Xiaofeng, he'd beat him to a pulp. How could he possibly teach him swordsmanship?"

Qin Nanqin joked, "No swordsman can resist the temptation of the Spirit Rhinoceros Finger. It's not surprising that Zhang Danfeng, who has been in seclusion for a long time, wants to try the Spirit Rhinoceros Finger."

Yang Yan said, "Let's get down to business! Husband, when Ouyang Ting was escorting the treasure to Sichuan, it was robbed by the White-Haired Witch Lian Ni Chang. Lian Ni Chang declared that unless you personally demand its return, she wouldn't give you any face, not even if it were the Heavenly King himself. Husband, you have to make another trip!"

Yin Susu sneered, "What a coincidence! My lord is seriously injured. If he goes to Mingyue Village, it'll be like throwing a meat bun to a dog. Knowing Lian Ni Chang's personality, she'll probably just snatch him up the mountain, have a wedding ceremony, and consummate the marriage that very night, and have two chubby babies in three years!"

Qin Nanqin and Hua Baifeng exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "Are you two crazy? Don't you know who the White-Haired Witch Lian Ni Chang is?"

Xu Qingya waved his hand: "It's nothing. I'll just take this opportunity to relax in Sichuan and offer incense to Zhuge Liang!"

Yang Yan smiled and said, "Let's go! There are many martial arts masters in Sichuan, my husband will not be disappointed."

Yin Susu said, "Putting everything else aside, we definitely have to fight Dugu Yihe. As for the Tang Clan—the Tang Clan is all about poison and hidden weapons, so let's not touch them! The Qingcheng Sect is declining and boring. The Bashan Sword Sect has also declined to three or four parts since Gu Daoren went into seclusion. The only top sects in Sichuan are Emei and the Tang Clan!"

Hua Baifeng changed the subject: "My lord, Huo Xiu possesses both the Golden Bell Shield and the Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill, as well as three layers of protective treasures."

"His clothes were completely destroyed by you using two divine weapons. Wasn't his death a bit unjust?"

Qin Nanqin said, "It's not unfair at all!"

Hua Baifeng said, "Why isn't it a just cause?"

"Because—every wrong has its perpetrator!"

Qin Nanqin pointed to Huo Xiu's voice.

Xu Qingya added, "Even if Huo Xiu were to arrive in the underworld, he would be completely bewildered by his situation. However, he truly deserves the greatest credit for building the river embankment and benefiting the people!"

'

Yang Yan really wanted to have Xu Qingya's brain checked.

Xu Qingya guessed Yang Yan's thoughts and said expressionlessly, "You can only show me your brain, not Huo Xiu's, because he has no brain!"

Yang Yan smiled sinisterly, "My husband and Huo Xiu are both severely injured, with less than one-tenth of their strength remaining. I wonder if my husband is confident in breaking through our sisterly formation. If he can't break through, my husband will have to suffer a bit—"

Yin Susu nodded: "I agree!"

Qin Nanqin looked helpless: "Master, I am Madam Yang's dowry maid. Madam Yang's words carry more weight than yours."

Yes, I'll listen to Mrs. Yang!

Hua Baifeng shrugged: "Three to one, even if this servant has some objections, it's meaningless!"

Before Xu Qingya could utter any sweet words, four jade feet stepped down at the same time, silencing her!

"Waaaaah~~"

Xu Qingya let out a mournful cry filled with regret!

Huo Xiu was killed by Xu Qingya, but the matter of Qingyi Tower was not over. Huo Xiu's assets were too great, and the power of Qingyi Tower was too great. Even if Zhuge Zhengwo and the God of Catchers joined forces to completely eliminate Qingyi Tower and take stock of Huo Xiu's assets, it would take two or three months. This is not an exaggeration, but a stark reality.

The 108th floor of Qingyi is a place run by the underworld.

Breaking through the 108th floor is not the end.

For example, the "Cross-Hands" is backed by the powerful martial arts families Ling and Fang, and the "Deputy Headmaster" Ouyang Ting is backed by the Ouyang family. They all need to be dealt with.

Which of these martial arts families and powerful clans isn't deeply entrenched? Even with irrefutable evidence, it would take a considerable amount of time to eradicate all of them.

Huo Xiu's underworld business was booming, and his legitimate business was even more thriving, with shops all over the world. Even if Huo Xiu's ledgers, registers, and real estate deeds were found, it would require a huge number of professionals working day and night to inventory all these shops. They could not be closed arbitrarily, much less be dealt with in a one-size-fits-all manner. Otherwise, closing down grain and oil shops in some small towns would truly be a case of murder for profit.

Xu Qingya dealt with Qingyi Tower swiftly and decisively from beginning to end, striking from multiple angles, eliminating its head and tail, and crushing it as if swallowing it whole.

As for how to clean up the mess afterward, Xu Qingya could only offer some suggestions, telling Liu Dinghuan and Zhuge Zhengwo to work overtime and move boxes of gold and silver jewelry to the national treasury. Seeing the truckloads of gold and silver, Liu Dinghuan was very motivated to work overtime.

How can we get people to willingly work overtime?

The answer is just two words—pay more!

Liu Dinghuan enjoyed this treatment.

The wealth of the richest man in the Central Plains, spanning both the legitimate and criminal worlds, was transported by carriages every day. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue who were counting the gold and silver were numb. Seeing the mountains of gold and silver, they had no greed whatsoever. They were as indifferent as zombies, only hoping that after the counting was completed, they could take a half-month vacation!

Compared to Huo Xiu's enormous wealth, the Shangguan sisters were like invisible people, easily overlooked.

Shangguan Danfeng plotted to seduce Di Qinglin.

Shangguan Feiyan was rescued by Huo Tianqing!

Huo Tianqing had not completely let go of everything, at least not Shangguan Feiyan. He fought Xu Qingya with composure and took the initiative to confess his crimes afterward. He even disbanded the Tianqin Sect. Now that he was all alone, he had nothing to worry about and could do a few crazy things.

Coincidentally, recently, the Six Doors' detectives have been focusing all their efforts on dealing with the Green Robe Tower. Even Zhu Yueming, that lazy fat man, has been sent out, leaving the defenses weak. Huo Tianqing sneaked into the Heavenly Prison and rescued Shangguan Feiyan.

By the time the Six Doors realized what was happening, more than ten days had passed. Where were they supposed to find these two people?

Not to mention the Six Doors constables, even Xu Qingya couldn't find the two of them; they were already "dead"!

From the moment Huo Tianqing decided to break out of the prison, he and Shangguan Feiyan were both dead. Since they were dead, they should live in the underworld, not stand in the sunlight.

How can the living come into contact with the underworld?

Since we can't access it, we can't find it.

Only one kind of living person can come into contact with matters of the underworld.

A Taoist priest!

A Taoist priest from Linqiong named Hongdu Ke could summon souls with his sincerity, reaching the highest heavens and the deepest hells, riding the air and moving like lightning!

He acquired the entire fortune of the richest man in Central China, half the fortune of the largest jeweler in Central China, the entire fortune of the powerful Ouyang family in the martial arts world, and local...

The wealth of the powerful Ling and Fang families is equivalent to several city-wide treasures. All the civil and military officials are busy counting their money and have no time to care about such things.
