Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

This was pure wild guessing and sophistry, but to be fair, it was actually about 70-80% accurate...

Back then, Bai Sun Dao Ren did indeed fight with the young Zhang Sanfeng, and he did indeed rely on his profound skills to make Zhang Sanfeng suffer a minor loss.

But it was precisely because of that battle that he witnessed Zhang Sanfeng's unfathomable potential and rapid progress, and knew that if this boy was not eliminated, he would become a major threat in the future.

Bai Sun Dao Ren later tried to kill him several times, but Zhang Sanfeng thwarted his attempts each time.

On the contrary, in the repeated clashes, Bai Sun Dao Ren was intimidated by Zhang Sanfeng's upright and righteous martial arts path, and even vaguely felt that his own martial arts heart had developed flaws.

Only then did he decide to leave, and went far away to the northern desert, joining the Prince of Ruyang's mansion.

This matter was a lifelong secret of Bai Sun Dao Ren. Now, if he were to face Zhang San Feng again, Bai Sun Dao Ren would no longer be his match.

This is a taboo that even the Xuanming Elders dare not touch.

Now that Zhou Dian had publicly humiliated them with such vulgar and offensive language, Lu Zhangke and Hebi Weng's faces turned fierce!

"You're asking for it!"

Because of his love of drinking, Hebi Weng already had a rather irritable temper. At this moment, his anger surged, and his dark face turned red.

With a loud shout!

His gaunt body instantly covered several meters, striking Zhou Dian's chest with a palm.

As the palm struck out, a bone-chilling coldness instantly filled the air. Even before the palm wind arrived, Zhou Dian felt a jolt!

"Well done!"

Although Zhou Dian is verbally abusive and unforgiving, his martial arts skills are not weak.

He was, after all, one of the Five Wanderers of the Ming Cult, and a top master who had been famous for many years.

Faced with Hebi Weng's master-level attack, he remained calm despite the shock. He used strange footwork and swayed his body to narrowly avoid the direct impact of the palm strike.

At the same time, he brought his fingers together like a sword and pointed at the pulse point on Hebi Weng's wrist.

"Bang!"

The fingers struck each other, producing a muffled thud.

Zhou Dian felt an extremely cold true energy surge into his body through his fingertips, causing half of his body to go numb. He staggered back three steps before barely managing to regain his balance.

Crane Pen Elder was also affected by Zhou Dian's strange finger force, which caused his wrist to go numb and his attack to pause slightly.

With a single move, the difference in skill was immediately apparent.

Although Zhou Dian was strong, he had not yet reached the Grandmaster level. Facing veteran Grandmasters like the Xuanming Elders, he was ultimately at a disadvantage.

"Junior brother!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhangke's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Upon discovering Zhou Dian's strange movements, he immediately thought of Wei Yixiao, the Green-Winged Bat King, one of the four great Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult. Could it be that Zhou Dian's lightness skill was taught by him?

Although his junior brother could win in a one-on-one fight, it would still take some effort. He immediately gave Hebi Weng a wink.

The two brothers, having roamed the martial arts world for decades, had long since developed a deep understanding of each other.

Hebi Weng immediately understood and lunged forward again, forming a pincer attack with Lu Zhangke.

Once the two elders of Xuanming join forces, their Yin-cold palm power complements each other, and their power will more than double!

When the two of them work together, they can fight for dozens of rounds against a master at the Grandmaster level without being at a disadvantage.

It seemed that Zhou Dian was about to be besieged by two grandmasters.

Qin Han, who had been sitting firmly in the main seat, suddenly turned cold.

He let out a cold snort like muffled thunder.

"snort!"

This cold snort was like a thunderclap, exploding loudly in the ears of Lu Zhangke and Hebi Weng!

It contained the spiritual secrets of the Free and Unfettered Sect and the domineering aura of the Dragon God Skill, like an invisible heavy hammer that struck the minds of the two people!

Lu Zhangke and Hebi Weng felt a buzzing in their heads and a tightness in their chests. The icy true energy that was about to merge into one was instantly disordered and almost broke out of their bodies!

The two were shocked and quickly withdrew their attacks, each letting out a muffled groan as they stumbled back several steps before finally regaining their footing.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Qin Han was now filled with horror and fear!

Such profound skill!

What an overbearing spiritual technique!

With just a cold snort, he was able to make the two brothers' blood surge and their minds lose their composure!

This young King of Shu is so powerful, his strength is unfathomable!

Legend has it that he once single-handedly suppressed the masters of the six major sects on Bright Peak, and it seems... this is not just a rumor!

Before the two could recover from their shock...

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Outside the doors and windows of the reception room, a series of synchronized mechanical sounds could be heard.

Through the gates and windows, one could see that the courtyard walls were now filled with soldiers clad in black armor.

What they held in their hands were not ordinary bows and arrows, but specially made crossbows that gleamed with a chilling light!

The arrowheads of those crossbow bolts had an eerie dark gold color, as if they had been tempered with some unknown metal, specifically designed to counter the protective aura of martial arts masters.

A chilling atmosphere enveloped the entire reception room.

A net was cast in an instant!

Both Lu Zhangke and Hebi Weng felt a chill run down their spines.

At this moment, as long as Qin Han gives the order, these crossbows will fire thousands of arrows at once. Even for grandmasters like them, this military weapon, which is specifically designed to target the aura of a grandmaster, will be a formidable opponent.

In this narrow space, one would probably not escape being shot into a pincushion!

The military—that is the true power of those in power!

Faced with overwhelming military power, individual bravery sometimes seems so pale.

Especially since Qin and Han wanted to develop powerful cannons and firearms later on, so what if you were a grandmaster or even a hidden old monster at the Celestial level?

It's just that powerful artillery hasn't been developed yet. Otherwise, as long as I find your place, I'll bring out a few artillery battalions and blast the mountains flat!

Who cares about any expert here or there!

Of course, many things are well-arranged, but the real fear is that these kinds of martial arts masters are unpredictable and might hide to carry out assassinations.

This is the reason why the imperial court and the martial arts world coexist.

Zhao Min's expression was solemn.

Clearly, they've seen a lot in the world and know when to advance and when to retreat.

We've come here to negotiate, not to cause trouble.

He immediately shouted at the two elders of Xuanming, "Stop! Who gave you permission to act so presumptuously here?! Apologize to this gentleman at once!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhangke and Hebi Weng, though extremely aggrieved, knew the seriousness of the matter.

If things fall apart here today, let alone negotiations, it will be a question whether they can even leave Shuzhou City alive.

The two men exchanged a glance, suppressing their anger and humiliation. They bowed slightly to Zhou Dian and said, "We...we were very rude just now. We hope...Mr. Zhou will forgive us."

Seeing this, Zhou Dian felt extremely relieved.

Zhou Dian isn't truly stupid; he wouldn't have started criticizing if it weren't for the King of Qin's tacit approval.
