Wuxia: Start with max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill

"Boss, could it really be...?"

Chen Tao's expression changed again. He gasped and lowered his voice.

"Speaking of which... the Northwest disaster relief funds were robbed just when that eunuch Yicai was at the height of his power in the palace, with his influence almost reaching the heavens."

If someone had the ability and power to secretly transfer millions of taels of official silver and orchestrate such a grand scheme back then… he was probably the only one in the world at that time.

Li Fu sneered.

"And that was also when his ambitions were at their greatest."

If the enormous sum of three million taels were used to "recruit soldiers and buy horses," and to win over court officials... it would surely give him wings, allowing him to extend his influence into the political arena even further.

The constables, officers, and members of the Tianshan Sect, including Ren Xuan and Kang Jin, were filled with unease.

An invisible pressure descended, and compared to the grudges of the martial arts world, it seemed somewhat insignificant under the enormous shadow that could potentially involve the imperial court.

Seeing Li Fu hesitate, the Taoist of Joyful Extremes hurriedly said, "I've told you everything!"

"You...you can let me go now, right?"

Looking at the blood-stained clothes of the Taoist Leji, whose wounds were still bleeding profusely, Li Fu asked again.

"You seem to have been injured in your chest for some time now. Your internal organs have been damaged by the invasion of your internal energy. The injury is quite serious. Who injured you?"

He was indeed curious. The martial arts of the Taoist Master Leji were already top-notch. Who could have injured him to such an extent?

A fire of resentment ignited in the eyes of the Taoist of Joyful Extremes.

"He was an unknown young man, dressed in blue, carrying a curved knife."

I brushed past him on the road. Seeing that he was young, I was not on guard. With my martial arts skills, how could any junior in the martial arts world hurt me?

Unexpectedly, the kid seemed to have recognized me all along and suddenly made a move.

I was careless and underestimated him, failing to dodge. I intended to parry his blade strike casually, but halfway through his attack, his move suddenly changed. What was originally unremarkable transformed into an unbelievable, deadly variation, far more powerful than I had imagined. He caught me off guard and struck!

He gritted his teeth and said.

"That kid is extremely cunning. He deliberately feigned weakness to lull me into a false sense of security. After succeeding in one move, he excitedly said that I, the Taoist of Joyful Extremes, am a renowned evil master in the martial arts world. He said that if I were killed, he would immediately become famous and wealthy in the martial arts world!"

Let me pay with my life.

I angrily engaged him in combat, only to discover that despite his youth, his martial arts skills were almost on par with mine. After being stabbed in the chest, the blade's energy seeped into my internal organs, and I was no match for him. I had no choice but to flee and seek out a woman to replenish my yin and yang to heal my wounds..."

As the Taoist of Joyful Extremes was speaking, he suddenly looked up again, unwilling to accept it.

"I was very careful the whole way, and no one saw me. How did you find this Songfeng Temple?"

Li Fu said, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."

Chen Tao sneered from the side: "You do evil and harm people, and you think you can escape my boss's eyes? Wishful thinking."

You harmed that peddler's wife, and others can't find any clues to follow you, but what kind of person is my master!

Li Fu waved his hand, stopping him from praising him.

"If I had known, I should have held back."

The Taoist Master of Joy looked extremely grim as he turned to Li Fu again: "I...I have answered all your questions..."

"Your answer has indeed cleared up many of my questions."

Li Fu suddenly gave him a slight smile.

The smile, when seen by the Taoist of Joy, made his heart sink, and an ominous premonition was poured over him like ice water.

"Thank you." Li Fu's smile remained unchanged. "However, after thinking about it, I still can't let you go."

If I let you go, as I said, I don't know how many more innocent women will continue to suffer, so I've thought it through.

The result is—you should just die.

He pointed his right index finger in the air!

"You...you!"

"laugh--"

A wisp of invisible finger force shot through the air with lightning speed, striking the Taoist of Blissful Extremes right between the eyebrows!

The Taoist Master of Joy stared wide-eyed, and let out a hoarse sound as if he wanted to say something, but it was too late.

A red mark seeped out between his eyebrows, his body stiffened, then he collapsed, his breath gone.

Li Fu stopped, his expression calm.

To be honest, although this Taoist of Bliss is a heretic, the martial arts he cultivates have their own unique characteristics in the martial arts world. He can accumulate internal energy by absorbing yin and replenishing yang, and even use his internal energy to heal injuries.

However, Li Fu did not press him for answers. He had absolutely no interest in such a vicious skill that harmed others for personal gain and ravaged the conscience.

Li Fu tricked the Taoist priest, promising to consider it, but after considering the final outcome, he still killed him.

"These lewd and wicked thieves will only bring trouble if they are left here for even a moment longer."

When Chen Tao and the other constables recalled the tragic fate of Wang the peddler's wife and the appearance of her corpse, they all felt a sense of satisfaction.

No one present felt that Li Fu's actions were inappropriate, and no one spoke out in criticism.

This Taoist priest of extreme pleasure has committed countless crimes, too numerous to recount. If he were released back into the mountains today, who knows how many more women would fall victim to his cruelty.

Killing this lecherous demon is a matter of course.

To be rigid and inflexible and allow them to escape would be truly inhumane and unjust.

"Well done!"

A woman's voice, trembling yet filled with pleasure.

Ren Xuan, who had almost lost her innocence at the hands of the Taoist of Bliss, looked at the Taoist of Bliss's corpse on the ground with only hatred and pleasure in her eyes.

She wished she could skin this lecherous demon alive, tear him apart, and grind his bones to dust. But when she turned her gaze to Li Fushi, her fierce hatred transformed into deep gratitude and admiration.

Ren Xuan bowed gracefully to Li Fuying, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Many thanks to Constable Li for saving our lives and for bringing forth the name of the Divine Dragon. Although we come from beyond the Great Wall, the name has been known to us since we entered Yanzhou."

"I am deeply grateful for your righteous intervention today, which swiftly eliminated this scourge!"

Her blush was perhaps due to the overwhelming emotion at the execution of the villain, or something else entirely.

"It was nothing, don't worry about it."

Li Fu waved his hand, his tone indifferent.

He hadn't paid much attention to Ren Xuan, but a quick glance revealed that she was swaying slightly, her face was still pale, and her steps seemed unsteady.

A thought struck him, and he asked.

"Didn't I already unseal your acupoints?"

Your internal energy... seems not to have recovered yet?

Upon hearing this, Ren Xuan blushed and felt a pang of fear, and whispered.

"Officer Li is wise."

Not only was I previously struck by pressure points, but I also took a unique palm strike from this villain.

He said... he said it was called the Chaotic Yin Palm, specifically designed to suppress a woman's internal energy.

After being struck by the palm, the true energy will become disordered and difficult to condense and control... I tried to circulate my energy several times, and indeed my internal energy was disordered and uncontrollable.

This remains true even now.

"Oh? The Chaotic Palm Technique?"

Li Fu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the corpse of the Taoist of Joyful Abode again. He suddenly felt that he had been a little hasty and should not have acted so quickly.

This wicked master of the flower-picking sect actually possesses the extraordinary martial art that he has always wanted, which can disrupt the true energy of others and make it difficult for them to use!

pity……

The thought only flashed through my mind.

Putting aside the fact that the dead cannot be brought back to life, the fact that this martial art is specifically designed to deal with women and deplete their vital energy, making it insidious in nature, is hardly honorable.

If I were to publicly express my interest in this skill, or even try to interrogate the deceased Master Leji, it would damage my reputation and feel quite inappropriate.

"Never mind, the person is dead."

Kang Jin, who was standing to the side, was still feeling annoyed and ashamed because he had been swept off the roof beam by Le Ji Dao Ren and had been greatly embarrassed in front of his junior sister.

Upon hearing that Ren Xuan had been ambushed, his heart tightened. Without thinking twice, he rushed forward, his face filled with concern and anxiety, and said urgently.

"Junior sister! You were ambushed by that lecherous demon? Are you alright?"

This...this must be an extremely insidious technique; we must not be careless!"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Ren Xuan's wrist, intending to use his internal energy to examine her, hoping to personally heal his junior sister and show his concern, thus salvaging some face.

When Ren Xuan saw him reach out his hand, she instinctively pulled her hand away, knowing that men and women should not touch each other.

This wouldn't have been a big deal, but the fact that it happened in front of outsiders caused Kang Jin to grab empty air and freeze halfway through.

"Senior brother, your skill is about the same as mine."

I think you probably can't do anything about this palm strike either. I'll wait until we get back to the borderlands and have my master take a look.

Ren Xuan said.

"That's how it should be, that's how it should be..."

Kang Jin could only awkwardly try to make conversation.

"The journey to the Tianshan Mountains beyond the Great Wall is more than a thousand miles away. We will be exposed to the elements along the way, and even if the heroine loses her martial arts skills, it may be inconvenient."

Since he might as well go all the way to save her, Li Fu also wanted to see if the power of the Chaotic Yin Palm only worked on women, and how it caused their true energy to become disordered.

"Can I take a look?"

"Then... I'll have to trouble Officer Li."

He took two steps closer, extended two fingers of his right hand to indicate his inquiry, and after Ren Xuan agreed, he gently extended his wrist and placed his hand on her wrist pulse.

A wisp of pure and gentle Yi Jin Jing internal energy, like a gentle stream, carefully probed into his meridians.

Upon a brief examination, Li Fu discovered that within her meridians, there was indeed a strange and cunning palm force, like a maggot clinging to the bone, constantly disturbing her own true energy and making it difficult to guide and direct it.

This palm strike has a peculiar nature; it seems to specifically target the primordial yin energy within a woman's body, thereby causing a disruption in her vital energy.

If this technique is used on a man, the effect will likely be greatly reduced, or even ineffective.

"As expected, it's a cunning skill specifically designed to counter women."

Li Fu's regret faded further; it was better not to learn such unorthodox and vicious martial arts.

Without further hesitation, he activated the Yi Jin Jing divine skill.

The Yi Jin Jing is a supreme Buddhist scripture, extremely balanced and peaceful, and has the remarkable effect of dissolving foreign energies.

When Li Fu exerted his internal force, the stubborn Chaotic Yin Palm power in Ren Xuan's meridians melted and disintegrated rapidly, like ice and snow meeting boiling water. In just a few breaths, it was completely swept away, leaving no trace.

"I... my martial arts skills have been restored."

Ren Xuan immediately felt a sense of lightness throughout her body. The sluggish feeling that had made her unable to muster internal energy and feel uncomfortable all over her body disappeared instantly, and her true energy flowed freely, returning her to normal.

The unique palm strike of the Taoist of Joyful Extremes was incredibly difficult to deal with. She tried to exert her inner strength for a long time but to no avail. In the hands of Li Fu, it was as easy as a gentle breeze to dispel the dust!

Looking up at his young, handsome, and calm face, it was hard to imagine how someone his age could have mastered such unfathomable martial arts.

The Taoist of Joy, who had captured him in just a few moves, was as vulnerable as a child in front of him!

"Officer Li's internal strength is truly profound. Thank you, Officer Li... After saving me, Officer Li has done me a great favor once again."

While admiring her, an indescribable, subtle stirring quietly rose in Ren Xuan's heart.

What kindness is more appreciated and heartwarming than being saved from death?

Moreover, the person before him was not only highly skilled in martial arts and decisive in his actions, but also handsome.

Although Ren Xuan was a woman of the martial world, as forthright and bold as a man of strong character, she couldn't help but feel her cheeks flush slightly when facing Li Fu, and her eyes softened slightly.

"It's nothing to do, no need to make a fuss."

However, Li Fu did not notice her gaze, or if he did, he did not care.

However, this scene, witnessed by Kang Jin, was like adding fuel to the fire, and his face darkened.

He wouldn't let his own junior sister touch him, but he allowed an outsider to. What kind of logic is that?

He had always been deeply in love with his junior sister Ren Xuan. The two considered themselves childhood sweethearts, practicing martial arts and adventuring together.

Kang Jin was already feeling frustrated and helpless when his junior sister was in danger.

Seeing that his junior sister was not only moved to tears by Li Fu's gratitude, but also seemed somewhat flustered because of her, he, her senior brother, was like a stranger.

Jealousy can sometimes really make people lose their minds.

Kang Jin felt a surge of anger rush to the top of his head, a mixture of jealousy, resentment, grievance, and indignation that made his head spin.

He could no longer contain himself and, disregarding the occasion and etiquette, stepped forward and, in a rather impolite manner, asked Li Fu a question.

"Officer Li, there is something I don't understand and would like to ask you about."

Kang Jin's face flushed red.

"Just now, this lecherous demon used my junior sister as a hostage, tightly gripping her neck and vital points. When he unleashed his true power, my junior sister was in imminent danger of dying!"

But when you made your move, it seemed... it seemed you completely disregarded the life of my junior sister!

If this lecherous demon hadn't chosen not to strike first, wouldn't my junior sister have already been poisoned?

As a head constable of the imperial court, shouldn't protecting the safety of the people be your top priority?!

His words, seemingly righteous and stern, showing great concern for his junior sister's safety, were actually an attempt to use the situation to damage Li Fu's image in Ren Xuan's eyes.

Kang Jin wanted to point out that Li Fu didn't care about Ren Xuan's life or death at all; he was only doing it to catch the thief and gain merit!

Upon hearing this, Ren Xuan was taken aback at first, then her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Before Li Fu could say anything, she preemptively defended him.

"Senior brother, don't talk nonsense. You've wronged Officer Li."

"The situation was critical at the time. The villain held me hostage and stood in front of me, coercing Constable Li."

The more Officer Li acted as if he cared about me and was coerced by him, the more tightly the villain would hold me.

On the contrary, the more indifferent Officer Li appeared, the safer I was. This made the villains hesitant, allowing him to strike decisively and catch them off guard, thus saving me.

This is a brilliant strategy for dealing with hostage situations; how can you misunderstand Officer Li's good intentions?

"Junior sister... I'm worried about you."

Why are you... why are you speaking up for him?

Are you siding with an outsider to criticize me?

Women should care most about whether a man cares about them, but Kang Jin never expected this.

His words not only failed to bring his junior sister to her senses, but instead made her lean more towards Li Fu, and in front of her fellow disciples, she sided with an outsider to speak ill of him.

He clutched his chest, feeling so uncomfortable he almost vomited blood, and his face even turned slightly green.

Li Fu glanced at Kang Jin indifferently.

His gaze was calm and unwavering, showing neither anger at being offended nor smugness, as if he were looking at an insignificant, clueless passerby.

This nonchalant attitude is even more hurtful.

He didn't say a word to them, stopped looking at Kang Jin and Ren Xuan, gave an instruction to Chen Tao beside him, and then turned and left with a group of constables.

"Chen Tao, take the corpse of the Taoist Master Leji back to the government office and record it."

"Yes, boss."
