Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Mu Wanqing was already struggling to cope, and facing the attack from everyone made things even more dangerous. She could only grit her teeth and desperately support herself with the long sword in her hand.

"Sister Mu!" Zhong Ling shouted anxiously, patting the leather pouch at her waist. The lightning ferret immediately flashed out to attack the two who were besieging them. Zhong Ling then followed up to fight back. The two women fought together and barely managed to turn the tide, but they were still being suppressed.

Duan Yu was being chased by someone, his face pale, muttering bitterly, "...Brother...fighting and killing, fighting and killing goes against the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, goes against the teachings of Confucius and Mencius..."

Qin Han, watching from the tree, chuckled. "Could it be that Duan Yu didn't learn the martial arts from the Boundless Jade Cave? He's such a hothouse flower, still spouting grand principles at a time like this."

Only Mu Wanqing's hidden arrow and Zhong Ling's lightning sable were somewhat interesting; otherwise, the two women, along with Duan Yu who was causing trouble, would have been arrested and whipped long ago.

It's not that I don't know how to cherish women, it's just that now is not the right time to make a move...

"Duan Yu is a man of great fortune, and aside from being a bit of a sycophant, he's not a big problem. Although killing him would allow us to plunder his fortune, we're still within Dali territory... and killing him like this seems a bit wasteful." A calculating glint flashed in Qin Han's eyes. Considering Duan Yu's status, he might be able to provide some assistance in future plans.

After all, you have such a young sister, brother-in-law. I have a big business that needs your help. I think you would be happy to agree, right?

Below, as the encirclement grew smaller, Mu Wanqing flicked her wrist again, and "whoosh whoosh whoosh!" several more sleeve arrows shot out, forcing the men at the front to parry with their swords, and their offensive paused.

Taking advantage of the break, Mu Wanqing whistled.

Soon, a horse's neigh came from outside the woods, and a magnificent steed galloped over.

Mu Wanqing glanced at Duan Yu and Zhong Ling. She and Duan Yu were strangers and not very familiar with each other, while Zhong Ling had been drawn into the conflict to help her.

After a slight hesitation, she grabbed Zhong Ling's wrist and shouted, "Let's go!"

With that, he pushed off with his feet, leaping into the air and pulling Zhong Ling onto the back of the "Black Rose" horse that had just arrived.

"Trying to run? Do you think you can get away?!"

Granny Yan had been keeping a close eye on their every move. She had been chasing Mu Wanqing for so long and was about to succeed so she could return to report to her mother. How could she let them slip away right under her nose?

"You little bitch, stay here!"

With a sharp shout, the old woman flicked her wrist, and a streak of dark light shot out, heading straight for Mu Wanqing's vital point in the back of her body in mid-air!

At this moment, Mu Wanqing was with Zhong Ling in mid-air with nowhere to grab her weight and no way to dodge. She felt a pain in her back, followed by a piercing pain. She couldn't help but groan and fell heavily off the horse with Zhong Ling.

"Uh... um,"

"Ouch..."

The two of them tumbled to the ground in a sorry state...

"Hahahaha!" Granny Yan laughed triumphantly. "Run! You two little sluts, try and run again!!"

Zhong Ling's martial arts skills were already inferior to Mu Wanqing's. She had relied entirely on Mu Wanqing to carry her just now, and this fall left her dizzy and disoriented.

When has Zhong Ling ever experienced such a dangerous life-or-death situation?

Seeing the old woman and the group of people closing in, the girl's face turned pale with fright, and her bright eyes quickly filled with tears. But she bit her lip and forced herself not to let the tears fall.

"Hmph!" Mu Wanqing snorted coldly.

Struggling to stand up, she felt a sharp pain in her back, making her weak all over. Seeing Zhong Ling's terrified and tearful appearance beside her, she felt a pang of pity and guilt. Zhong Ling was completely dragged into this mess because of her.

Mu Wanqing suppressed the pain in her back, used the long sword in her hand to support herself on the ground, and stood up unsteadily, protecting the petite Zhong Ling behind her.

His cold gaze fixed on Granny Yan: "The assassination attempt on your mistress was done by me alone! It has nothing to do with Ling'er! If you have any problems, come at me! Just release Ling'er!"

"Release her?" Granny Yan's smile was particularly malicious, as if she had heard a joke. "You little slut! How many skilled members of the Wang family have been injured by that wretched little beast of yours? Today, neither of you will leave here alive!"

"This is what you deserve for offending Madam!" Granny Yan's expression turned slightly ferocious. Thinking victory was now in her grasp, she wasn't in a hurry to give them a quick death. She waved her cane, "Go and break their legs. This old woman will slowly torture them!"

The surrounding men grinned maliciously, brandishing their swords and closing in, the encirclement growing ever tighter...

Zhong Ling instinctively grabbed Mu Wanqing's clothes. Mu Wanqing was also a little flustered, but she still held on, gripping her long sword tightly, preparing for a final desperate fight.

At this crucial moment, a slightly trembling voice rang out.

"Stop...stop!"

Duan Yu finally dealt with the thugs who had been chasing him, and spread his arms to block the two women.

Despite his pale face, sweat beading on his forehead, and trembling legs, he cried out, "I...I am Duan Yu, the heir apparent of the Prince of Zhennan of Dali! You...you commit murder in broad daylight, do you have no respect for the law? I advise you to retreat immediately, otherwise...otherwise, the Duan family of Dali will never let you off the hook, and you should consider the consequences carefully!"

Duan Yu wasn't actually the type to flaunt his status; he simply had no other choice this time. Although he obtained the manuals for the two peerless martial arts techniques, "Bei Ming Divine Skill" and "Ling Bo Wei Bu," in the Langhuan Blessed Land of Wuliang Mountain, he was naturally averse to fighting and killing. He was devoted to Buddhism and always wanted to persuade people with virtue and use the principles of sages to convince evildoers to lay down their weapons.

Unfortunately, Granny Yan and her group didn't listen to his rambling about "an eye for an eye," and only wanted to kill the three of them.

Left with no other choice, Duan Yu could only bring up his identity as the prince of Dali, thinking that since this was after all within the territory of Dali, and his father, Prince Zhennan Duan Zhengchun, was also a powerful figure, no matter how arrogant these people were, they should still have some reservations, right?

But once this identity was revealed, the situation not only did not improve, but became even worse.

"Are you from the Duan family?" Granny Yan stopped in her tracks, her old face darkening, and her tone was very impolite.

Duan Yu, oblivious to the change in tone, assumed things had taken a turn for the better and, overjoyed, immediately nodded, saying, "That's right! My father is none other than Prince Zhennan, Duan Zhengchun. I hope you will all, out of respect for my father, show some leniency..."

Before she could finish saying "kind hand," Granny Yan's voice turned chilling...

"The Duan family? The Duan family deserves to die even more!!" Granny Yan's voice was filled with hatred. "Especially since your father is that damned, heartless Duan Zhengchun! That only amplifies his crimes; he deserves to die!!"
