Martial Arts Crossover: My master tricked Huang Rong into becoming my wife!

The woods were eerily quiet, with only the whistling sound of the wind whistling through the treetops.

Huang Rong gripped the withered branch tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

The rustling sound I just heard came from the bushes directly in front of me, like something was moving quickly along the ground.

She held her breath, her heart pounding violently in her chest, as if it were about to burst out of her ribs.

Normally, even if she encountered a tiger or leopard, with her lightness skill and Peach Blossom Island's unique techniques, she could still outmaneuver it and escape unscathed. But now, with her acupoints sealed and her internal energy completely depleted, let alone a ferocious beast, even a wild dog could take her life.

"Who...who's there!"

Huang Rong mustered her courage and shouted, but her voice trembled slightly.

The bushes were still.

She gritted her teeth, thrust the dry branch in her hand forward, and forcefully pushed aside the pile of weeds that were half a person tall.

"Splash—"

Fallen leaves fluttered down.

There was nothing there.

Only a few startled crickets hopped away and burrowed deeper into the grass.

"call……"

Huang Rong deflated like a punctured balloon, her body went limp, and she almost couldn't stand up.

She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and gave a self-deprecating smile: "I scared myself."

As she threw away the branch in her hand and turned to walk forward, an unprecedented chill shot up her spine and straight to the top of her head.

That is a martial artist's instinctive intuition about danger. Even without internal energy, this perception, ingrained in their bones, remains terrifyingly sharp.

A foul-smelling wind swept over us, carrying a nauseating, putrid odor.

Huang Rong stiffly raised her head.

By the dappled moonlight filtering through the leaves, she saw a huge dark shadow perched on the thick horizontal branch above her head.

It was a giant snake.

A pair of vertical pupils emitted a cold, eerie light in the darkness, staring intently at her. The forked tongue hissed as it moved in and out, sending chills down her spine.

too close.

"ah--!"

Huang Rong let out a short scream, her legs went weak, and she uncontrollably fell backward onto the ground covered with decaying leaves.

The giant snake suddenly contracted its body, like a fully drawn bow.

"hiss!"

Accompanied by a foul gust of wind, the enormous snake head shot out like an arrow, its blood-red maw wide open, heading straight for Huang Rong's face.

Huang Rong's eyes widened, her pupils contracted sharply, her mind went blank, and only those two sharp fangs magnified rapidly in her vision.

That's it, I'm really going to die in this desolate wilderness this time.

Just as the giant snake was less than three feet away from Huang Rong, a figure appeared out of nowhere in front of her.

Without any unnecessary movements, the person simply stood there steadily, casually raising his right hand, his five fingers forming a palm, and seemingly effortlessly pushing forward.

"hold head high--!!"

A deep, resonant dragon roar suddenly echoed through the forest, causing the leaves around it to rustle and fall.

Chen Yanzhou remained calm as his powerful internal energy erupted instantly, surging wildly along his meridians towards his palms.

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms – Shocking the entire region!

A faint golden aura could be seen in the air, a manifestation of highly condensed inner force, like a roaring, angry dragon, crashing violently into the giant snake with overwhelming force.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The monstrous snake, which had come on so aggressively, didn't even have time to scream before its massive head crashed into an impenetrable wall.

Under that extremely domineering palm force, the snake's head twisted and deformed instantly, followed by its body.

The snake's body, as thick as a child's, was flung away as if by an invisible giant hand, arcing through the air before crashing heavily into an old tree several dozen feet away.

"Click."

The old tree, as thick as a person's embrace, was snapped in half by the force of the impact.

The strange snake slid limply to the ground, twitched twice, and then became completely still.

The forest fell silent once more.

Only the lingering echo of the dragon's roar still buzzed in my ears.

Chen Yanzhou slowly withdrew his palm, calming the surging blood and qi within his body.

He turned around and looked at Huang Rong, who was still slumped on the ground, looking dazed.

"Feed".

Chen Yanzhou crouched down and waved his hand in front of her eyes. "Are you scared stiff?"

Huang Rong remained seated, her eyes fixed on Chen Yanzhou, as if she hadn't yet recovered from the shocking scene just now.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Chen Yanzhou raised an eyebrow and gently poked her forehead.

"I'm asking you a question, are you alright?"

The touch on her forehead snapped Huang Rong back to her senses.

Looking at the somewhat mocking face in front of her, her nose tingled with emotion, and the grievances and fear of surviving a disaster surged up instantly.

"you……"

Huang Rong opened her mouth, but her voice was terribly hoarse.

Seeing her like this, Chen Yanzhou lost his desire to continue teasing her. He sighed, took out a fairly clean handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to her.

"Wipe it off, your face is all smeared like a cat's."

Huang Rong didn't take the handkerchief. Instead, she wiped her face haphazardly with her sleeve, sniffed, and stubbornly turned her head away.

"Hey……"

Chen Yanzhou was so angry he laughed, and plopped down on the grass opposite her. "Let's see if you dare to run around like that now."

"You're the one who bullied me! And...and you even hit me!"

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and her eyes reddened again. "I'm not your servant, why should I put up with your mistreatment! I'm going to run away, run far away, so you can't find me!"

"If I really wanted to hit you, do you think your weak body, lacking any internal energy, could run two miles in one breath?"

Chen Yanzhou sat on the grass, casually plucked a blade of grass and put it in his mouth, his eyes filled with a nonchalant and playful look.

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong swallowed back the tears that were still welling up in her eyes.

Of course she knew that Chen Yanzhou hadn't really hurt her. Along the way, although he was sharp-tongued and ruthless, and even forced her to do accounting and cooking, he hadn't actually harmed her in the slightest, except for sealing her acupoints and restricting her movements.

But the fear of being on the brink of death hadn't dissipated, and coupled with the grievances of the past few days, it all turned into anger and embarrassment.

"You're bullying me! You're a bastard!"

Huang Rong swung her two small fists and punched him on the shoulder.

"You scared me!"

There was no particular method to it; it was purely a way to vent.

Without the support of internal energy, these two blows were no different from tickling Chen Yanzhou.

Chen Yanzhou didn't dodge, letting her pound him a few times, treating it as a relaxing massage.

"Alright, alright, any more hammering and you'll get internal injuries," Chen Yanzhou mumbled indistinctly, reaching out to push the crazed girl away.

Just then, Huang Rong, who was unleashing a flurry of attacks, suddenly froze.

Her fist, which was raised in mid-air, did not fall. Her face, which had been flushed with anger, turned deathly pale in an instant. Her bright eyes stared intently at what was behind Chen Yanzhou, her pupils contracting violently, as if she had seen something a hundred times more terrifying than the giant snake from before.

Chen Yanzhou noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

Huang Rong didn't speak, but mechanically opened her mouth, making a "clucking" sound in her throat, and raised her trembling finger, pointing in the direction behind Chen Yanzhou.

Chen Yanzhou's heart skipped a beat. He spat out the grass root in his mouth and slowly turned around.

Beside the giant snake that he had just killed with a single palm strike and was hanging from the broken tree, a huge figure had appeared out of nowhere.
