Wuxia: Start with max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill

Chapter 149 Whoever investigates this case will die.

Shi Zhuo's Arhat Golden Body, which was as hard as metal and impervious to water and fire, and almost mythical, was actually... actually shattered by Li Fu's purest, most domineering, and most unreasonable palm force!

It was not only a blow to his body, but also a destruction of the invincible belief he had cultivated during his years of seclusion!

For so many years, he has used his flesh and blood to hone his skills, kneading and flattening a ten-thousand-pound copper wall with his bare hands. He has mastered the art of martial arts and is filled with ambition. He wants to leave seclusion, establish his own sect, and suppress the ancient Shaolin Temple, which has stood for thousands of years, so that it can never raise its head.

But now...

After mastering his divine skills, he suffered a crushing defeat in their very first encounter.

Shi Zhuo's face turned pale and then red, as shame, anger, resentment, and fear churned within him.

He lost, lost so thoroughly, was crushed head-on, and was so humiliated that there wasn't a single reason to excuse his defeat!

"I have failed. There are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding."

Today, Mr. Shi finally understands this saying.

How did you manage to possess such astonishing martial arts skills at such a young age? ..."

In today's battle, this person didn't even show any signs of fatigue. It's unimaginable what a terrifying sight he would be if he went all out.

Li Fu defeated Shi Zhuo, yet his aura remained deep and long, as if the earth-shattering battle had not depleted much of his inner strength.

"With your martial arts skills, even if you don't serve Eunuch Yicai, he can't do anything to you."

You willingly become this eunuch's lackey; what a waste of your martial arts skills.

Shi Zhuoqiang took a deep breath and said.

"As a person, Shi doesn't understand any grand principles, hasn't read many books, and hasn't studied any Buddhist scriptures, but he does know how to be loyal to those entrusted with important tasks."

My father-in-law treats me with great respect and provides me with generous provisions. Since I have promised to protect him, I will do my best.

A true man who walks the world keeps his word; how can he be a heartless, treacherous, and untrustworthy person?

As he spoke, disregarding his injuries, he mustered his remaining inner energy, and with a swift movement, used his superb lightness skill to rush to the side of the pale-faced eunuch, grabbed his arm, and shouted in a low voice.

"Father-in-law, let's go!"

This person's martial arts skills are beyond imagination.

"I am no match for him either, let's leave this place first!"

Before he finished speaking, he was about to fly out of the courtyard with the eunuch.

"Want to leave?"

You can't leave.

Li Fu made a grasping motion with his right hand, and with a move in mid-air, it was the Dragon-Capturing Skill!

An invisible yet overwhelming suction force suddenly arose, firmly locking onto the eunuch's figure!

I guessed that although the eunuch was also a skilled martial artist, he had diligently practiced martial arts in the palace to protect himself and rise in rank.

Although he indulged in pleasure in his later years, his skills remained intact, and he could still be considered a rare master in the martial arts world.

But under this wondrous and unpredictable Dragon-Capturing Skill, he was like a leaf in a storm, helplessly pulled backward!

"What kind of martial art is this?! Damn it!"

Shi Zhuo was startled. He was holding onto the arm of Eunuch Yi Cai when a tremendous force came and tried to tear him and Eunuch Yi Cai apart!

If he doesn't let go, I suspect that my father-in-law will be torn in two by the two enormous forces!

It's easy to guess that even though the old man is a master, he's as vulnerable as a chick in the hands of Li Fu and Shi Zhuo.

In a flash, he had no choice but to let go.

Upon hearing this, the old man cried out in surprise, as the suction force of the Dragon-Capturing Technique lifted him off the ground, causing him to crash headlong into Li Fu.

He was greatly alarmed and hurriedly channeled his inner energy to strike Li Fu with a backhand palm. The palm strike was soft and gentle, clearly a secret Yin-soft palm technique passed down in the palace.

"To show off one's limited skills before an expert."

Li Fu's expression remained unchanged, and he casually made a circle and a gesture with his left hand.

The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth!

It was as if the father-in-law's palm strike, powerful enough to shatter one's internal organs, was drawn downwards by a gentle and persistent force, like a mud ox entering the sea, crashing to the ground with a loud bang and shattering the blue bricks.

Li Fu's right hand had already landed on his shoulder, and with a gentle push and flick, he threw him down.

Upon guessing, the father-in-law felt the world spin, and involuntarily crashed heavily onto the hard ground, shattering the surface.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his bones felt like they were about to crack, and he had suffered severe internal injuries. He was on the ground and couldn't get up for a while.

"Father-in-law!"

Shi Zhuo suddenly took a step forward, glaring at Li Fu with burning anger in his eyes, yet also with deep apprehension, as if facing a formidable enemy. He then began to slowly retreat, as if he intended to leave alone.

"Isn't it said that we should keep our word and protect others?"

But now, you, my retainer, are turning your back on me and running away.

Li Fu sneered, realizing that he intended to leave.

The old man watched helplessly as his greatest support seemed about to abandon him, and he trembled all over, shouting hoarsely.

"Mr. Shi, save me!"

Don't go.

Shi Zhuo was still retreating, his face slightly unpleasant.

"I'm so sorry, Father-in-law!"

You took in Shi and treated him with great courtesy, providing him with food and clothing; you have indeed done Shi a great favor.

I, Shi, have repaid you by protecting you for a long time, and today I even fought this man and was seriously injured. In this respect, I, Shi, have not broken my promise.

But your kindness to Mr. Shi is not enough for him to risk his life for you.

This man's martial arts skills are unfathomable; I am no match for him. I can only go first... You... good luck!

Shi Zhuo suddenly twisted his body, like a hawk doing somersaults, and used the Shaolin's ultimate skill, Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada, to transform into a yellow shadow and swiftly flew over the courtyard wall!

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. He was still thinking about establishing a sect that would eventually surpass Shaolin. He absolutely could not die here.

Shi Zhuo made a feint and turned to leap over the wall!

"You can't leave."

Li Fu suddenly reached out and grabbed at the air, once again displaying his Dragon-Capturing Skill.

An overwhelming, invisible suction force suddenly attacked him from behind. Shi Zhuo was greatly alarmed. This person's skill was truly profound. Even after a fierce battle with him, he still had such strong internal energy.

He gritted his teeth, ignoring his internal injuries, and his remaining Arhat true energy erupted, forcefully shaking off the pulling force behind him.

"Dragon Claw Hand!"

However, in that brief moment of hesitation, Li Fu had already closed in, his Dragon Claw Hand striking out with a fierce gust of wind to seize vital points.

Shi Zhuo was in mid-air, his old strength exhausted and new strength yet to be generated. He could only twist his waist and turn around, hastily throwing out a punch in an attempt to block.

However, due to his severe injuries, his power was greatly reduced, and his reactions were also slowed down.

"Bang!"

As their fists and feet collided, Shi Zhuo felt a terrifying internal force penetrate his palm, causing his arm to ache and his blood to surge. He almost spat out another mouthful of blood.

He staggered to the ground, and before he could even regain his footing, Li Fu's second and third moves came like a storm!

The Dragon Claw Hand technique was already exquisite and fierce, but when Li Fu unleashed his century-old skill, it became even faster and more ruthless.

Shi Zhuo tried his best to defend, using Shaolin techniques to counter the attacks, but his internal strength was insufficient, and his moves became sluggish and vulnerable.

Within five or six moves, Li Fu grabbed Shi Zhuo's right wrist pulse point with one claw, and with a burst of internal force, Shi Zhuo immediately felt half of his body go numb and weak.

Li Fu's other claw had already locked onto his left shoulder like an iron clamp, the force penetrating to the bone. Shi Zhuo groaned in pain and struggled fiercely. Li Fu took the opportunity to kick him hard in the back of the knee!

"Thump!"

Shi Zhuo could no longer hold on and collapsed to his knees, shattering bricks and kicking up a cloud of dust.

His face was ashen, blood kept flowing from his mouth, but his eyes remained fierce as he struggled to get up.

"With his own skill, he could crack metal, but he couldn't break this person's bones and muscles. This person's Arhat Golden Body is indeed extremely powerful."

Even if he attacks, it will be impossible to kill him within a few moves.

Although Li Fu also possessed the fully mastered Iron Shirt technique, it was worlds apart from this man's formidable physical prowess.

"Your martial arts skills are extremely high, and you are also vengeful. If I let you go today, you may become a future problem. I cannot keep you alive. It's a pity that you have such great martial arts skills."

Li Fu showed no mercy, making a seemingly casual move that contained terrifying internal force, striking Shi Zhuo's chest at the palm print that had been blasted out by several Kanglong Youhui blows earlier.

Shi Zhuo roared, still trying to resist, but it was too late. The powerful palm force pierced straight in, shattering his bones and severely injuring his heart meridian.

He immediately trembled violently, his eyes widened abruptly, and the light in them quickly faded.

"I...I...you..."

Shi Zhuo looked down at his sunken chest, then stared at Li Fu in disbelief. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he ultimately couldn't utter a word.

His tall body swayed, then collapsed forward, dying instantly.

This golden-bodied Arhat, who once roamed the martial world, mastered divine skills, and attempted to establish his own sect to overpower Shaolin, died at the hands of Li Fu before he could even leave the mountain to realize his ambitions.

Li Fu finished off Shi Zhuo, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a eunuch getting up and trying to escape.

"You want to run away too?"

He used a flick of his finger.

laugh!

A fierce and unparalleled finger gust of wind shot out from the sky, faster than lightning!

"ah--!"

Upon hearing this, the old man let out a shrill scream, and blood spurted from his left knee. His entire kneecap had been shattered by this finger-flicking technique!

He collapsed to the ground, clutching his broken leg, writhing in pain, his clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Li Fu slowly turned around and walked closer step by step.

As the old man dragged his crippled leg, struggling to retreat on the ground, looking at Li Fu's expressionless face and at Shi Zhuo's glaring, unwilling corpse on the ground, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"Don't kill us, we'll talk about anything."

Li Fu approached, looking down coldly at the once powerful eunuch who was now as pathetic as a stray dog.

"Mountains crumble, people run away."

Didn't you just think that with this golden Arhat Shi Zhuo protecting you, no one in the world could harm you in the slightest?

And now?

"You...you..."

He was met with cold ridicule, and the father-in-law's face turned from green to purple, then from purple to white, looking extremely ugly.

His greatest support was dead, and his life was now in the hands of others.

But after all, he was a powerful eunuch who had stood in the imperial court for decades and weathered many storms; he was cunning and adept at political maneuvering.

After a brief period of despair and anger, the father-in-law forced himself to calm down and shouted in a fierce but inwardly weak voice.

"Li Fu, you have trespassed into my residence without any evidence, killed and injured many of my men, and now you are even attacking my family!"

Even though my family has lost power, we were once a third-rank eunuch appointed by the imperial court, a close confidant of the Emperor. You cannot dispose of us at will.

Do you even respect the law?! Do you even respect the authorities?!

Li Fu said expressionlessly.

"You eunuch, have you forgotten that I still have an imperial edict in my hand?"

They have the power to act first and report later.

Everything I do is in accordance with the law.

"Li Fu!"

Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the imperial gold medal. That gold medal of yours was given to the descendants of the King of Chu, which is against the rules.

They have the power to act first and report later.

Everything I do is in accordance with the law.

"Li Fu!"

Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the imperial gold medal. That gold medal of yours was given to the descendants of the King of Chu, which is against the rules.

Moreover, some things touch upon taboos, and even ten genuine imperial edicts and golden tablets cannot protect you!

The case of the theft of disaster relief funds in Northwest China is a prime example!

Whoever investigates will die!

I advise you to release me now.

The father-in-law, both fearful and angry, guessed.

"Oh?"

Li Fu raised an eyebrow. "Judging from what you're saying, there's more to this case than meets the eye."

"Is there someone behind you...?"

Who could make the eunuch dare to speak like this at this time, someone who is considered taboo and whose power cannot be suppressed even by the imperial edict?

Suddenly, I felt that this case seemed to be more complicated than it appeared, and that there was more to it than met the eye.

"Officer Li."

Despite his injuries and coughing up blood, Liu Mianfeng struggled forward, using his knife as a crutch, his eyes blazing with fury.

"This eunuch is just desperate and making wild accusations to scare us and try to save his life!"

Let me kill him!

"To avenge the hundreds of employees of my Changsheng Escort Agency, and the hundreds of thousands of innocent victims who died unjustly in the Northwest!"

"Wait a minute."

Li Fu waved his hand, looking at the eunuch at his feet.

"I still have many questions to ask him."

Killing him would be easy, and he can't escape anyway, but the truth is still unclear, so there's no need to rush.

He remembered that the heavenly book instructed him to find out the truth and then punish the wicked.

While Zhou Zhen and the others' statements were generally correct, the details might not be entirely accurate. Especially now that he suspected his father-in-law was about to reveal even more shocking inside information, he naturally wanted to ask for clarification.

This matter concerns the reward for Bai Hong's mastery of palm techniques, so it cannot be taken lightly.

"Speak, tell me everything you know, word for word." Li Fu grabbed his neck and coldly lifted the old man up like a chick.

"Do you really want me to tell you?"

One guess was that the father-in-law was like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair, yet he still seemed to have some reservations, as if revealing the truth behind the scenes might have consequences worse than death. His expression was gloomy and unpredictable.

"Li Fu, let me tell you, knowing too much is often not a good thing."

"I advise you to be sensible and release me immediately, leave the mansion, and pretend that today's events never happened, and don't investigate the old case of the disaster relief funds any further!"

Liu Mianfeng roared, "You're about to die, and you still dare to play tricks!"

"I still want to hear who exactly is involved; even the imperial edict won't help."

Li Fu's fingers tightened slightly, and he guessed that his father-in-law suddenly felt short of breath.

The father-in-law sensed the death threat coming from his neck and knew that one of the two people in front of him was a person with whom he had a deep-seated hatred that led to the destruction of his family, and the other acted without any scruples and did not seem to care about the law.

If he doesn't tell, we might really have to mutilate his body on the spot.

"Okay, okay."

He gritted his teeth, forced a bitter smile onto his face, and a glint of madness flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

Since you insist on seeking death, then don't blame us!

But listen carefully—if I reveal that person's name and today's events get out, you won't live, and neither will our family!

Even a hundred imperial edicts and gold tablets couldn't save anyone's life; let's all die together.

It seems that after deciding to grit his teeth and reveal that secret, something gave the eunuch an unparalleled confidence. Even with Li Fu choking him, he dared to mock him again.

Regarding this case of the robbery of disaster relief funds.

Three million taels of silver were lost, and no real results were found. The case was hastily closed after several years of investigation, and the silver was not recovered. The investigation was then abandoned.

Do you really think that everyone in the court is a bunch of good-for-nothings, and that they would dare to downplay such a serious matter and ignore it altogether?

Haha, foolish, naive!

"What exactly are you trying to say?!"

Liu Mianfeng had a bad feeling, and his hand gripping the knife turned white.
