Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Chen Jinnan hadn't finished speaking yet.

People from the Qin and Han dynasties no longer look at pictures.

From the moment he stepped into the secret room, his attention was no longer entirely on the map; he scanned everyone present as soon as he entered.

The tension, anticipation, and varying degrees of vigilance among the leaders of the Mu Wang Mansion, the Red Flower Society, and the Heaven and Earth Society were all within a reasonable range.

There was only one person who was wrong.

The third position to Chen Jinnan's right.

He was in his early forties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and an honest and kind appearance.

He had a short knife hanging from his waist, and sat upright, looking no different from the person next to him.

But this person's heart was beating twice as fast as anyone else's.

Moreover, his right hand was always resting on the edge of his sleeve, with his thumb slightly raised, at an angle that was just right to reach the mechanism of the hidden weapon in his sleeve.

Since Qin Han entered the room, this gesture has never changed.

Wei Xiaobao mentioned it briefly on the way: the deputy leader of the Green Wood Hall was surnamed Ma and named Ma Boren.

An old man who had followed Chen Jinnan for eight years.

Eight years.

Qin Han raised his head, not looking at Ma Boren, and said something meaningful to Chen Jinnan.

"Chief Chen, are the people in this room reliable?"

The air in the sealed room suddenly became tense.

The incense masters looked at each other in bewilderment.

Chen Jialuo put down the teacup he was holding.

Mu Jiansheng's expression was clearly not good; he felt that Qin Han was looking down on them, the righteous men who were fighting against the Qing and restoring the Ming.

Chen Jinnan paused.

"None of you here are that kind of people. The core members of each hall of the Heaven and Earth Society have followed me for at least three years and at most ten years."

"ten years."

Qin Han repeated himself, then looked at the middle-aged man in the third position.

"This must be Vice Master Ma, right?"

Ma Boren's shoulders stiffened for a moment.

Qin Han gave him no room to maneuver. The "dragon pattern" on his body could distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and even see a person's inner thoughts.

It's obvious who is human and who is ghost. If he didn't have this special ability, he wouldn't have entrusted his rear to Li Jing, Xiao Feng, Xu Xingzhi and others.

"Was that defense map sent out through your hands?"

You could hear a pin drop in the sealed room.

Ma Boren was stunned for less than half a breath before bowing his hands, his face displaying just the right amount of fear.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the map was indeed handed over by me. However, its source was an insider in Ao Bai's residence; I merely..."

"Your heart is beating too fast."

Qin Han interrupted him.

"Since I entered, your heart rate has been twice as fast as everyone else in this room. There are three to four hidden weapons concealed in your right sleeve, on the inside of your forearm."

These are all underhanded tactics that the Tang Clan of Sichuan has long since abandoned. The Tang Clan is now working with research institutes to develop new firearms, and they haven't used these kinds of hidden weapons for a long time.

Ma Boren's face turned pale instantly.

My gaze unconsciously drifted towards the door.

There is only one passageway, and the secret room has no second exit.

"Your Majesty is joking. The hidden weapons I carry are for self-defense. They belong to the Heaven and Earth Society..."

Qin Han raised his right hand!

Spread your five fingers.

A suction force suddenly arose out of nowhere!

Ma Boren was lifted off the stool, as if an invisible hand had grabbed the back of his neck, and his feet left the ground as he involuntarily flew towards Qin Han.

Several incense masters present jumped up.

Mu Jianping let out a startled cry.

Chen Jialuo had already gripped the hilt of his sword, intending to take down this member of the Heaven and Earth Society first!

"Let's do it!"

Ma Boren reacted very quickly, although he didn't know how he had been exposed.

But he hadn't been following Chen Jinnan for nothing for eight years. Regardless of whether he was an inside agent or not, since Prince Qin Han had made his move, the leader and the others would definitely take him down first.

Rather than that, we have to fight to the death.

His right arm trembled violently!

The cuffs snapped open, and four steel needles shot out!

The poisoned needles, with their tips gleaming with a ghostly blue light, were used to target Qin Han's face, throat, and heart—three vital points!

The distance was less than five steps, and the speed was extremely fast.

Qin Han didn't even change his posture.

The body's vital energy surged.

"Ding ding ding ding!"

Four crisp sounds.

The poison needle struck the invisible air barrier, but instead of being blocked, it bounced back.

Backtrack.

It's faster than when it's shot.

"Pfft!"

Two nails were driven into Ma Boren's left leg, and two into his right leg.

He pierced his own flesh with his own poisoned needle.

The entire process took less than a second.

"ah!!"

Screams erupted.

But Ma Boren's body was still suspended in mid-air, unable to break free.

The Dragon-Capturing Technique locked the back of his neck, and true energy seeped into his meridians, immobilizing his limbs and bones.

Qin Han slightly tightened his fingers and pulled him in front of him.

Face to face.

Toes three inches off the ground.

"You prepared the poisoned needles yourself."

Ma Boren fell to the ground, his legs pierced by his own poisoned needles. The poison spread along the wounds, and he almost instantly lost feeling in both legs.

He lay on the blue bricks trying to climb, but his legs were dragging behind him and he couldn't get any leverage.

The locked room erupted into chaos.

Wei Xiaobao was the first to jump up. He was completely on his elder brother's side and started cursing at Ma Boren.

"Ma Boren! You son of a bitch, my deputy incense master! I'm eating sunflower seeds and you're sitting right next to me! You were Ao Bai's dog?!"

Ma Boren lay on the ground, his head covered in cold sweat, and he was still mumbling something.

"No...no...I'm innocent..."

Chen Jinnan drew his sword. The leader of the Heaven and Earth Society did not speak, but the tip of the unsheathed sword was already pressed against Ma Boren's back.

Ma Boren followed him for eight years.

When he joined the association, he was dirt poor. His wife and children were sick and he couldn't afford to see a doctor. It was Chen Jinnan who paid for it.

During holidays and festivals, this person is always the first to come and offer New Year's greetings.

Eight years.

"Chief Chen."

Qin Han spoke.

Chen Jinnan didn't sheath his sword mainly because he felt ashamed—ashamed in front of the Mu Prince's Mansion, Red Flower Mountain, and even Qin Han!

"Don't kill them yet."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinnan finally sheathed his sword, and his aura fluctuated slightly.

"Vice Master Ma, there are two paths."

Ma Boren trembled violently, the poison in his legs had twisted his face into a pretzel, and the voice he managed to squeeze out was completely off-key.

"What...what do you want...?"

Qin Han flicked out an extremely thin stream of true energy with his right index finger.

Penetrating clothing.

Inject into Ma Boren's Jianjing acupoint.

Ma Boren's body instantly arched!

His mouth was wide open, and his eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets, but no sound came out of his throat.

A moment later.

Ma Bo fell to the ground and his limbs twitched.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Screams erupted in the sealed room, and a layer of ash was shaken off the walls.

Ma Boren rolled around on the ground frantically, scratching his shoulders with both hands, his nails digging into his flesh.

That power started from the Jianjing acupoint and spread throughout the body.

It was scalding hot a moment ago.

It's like a pot of boiling oil being poured out of the bones.

The next moment, it was icy cold.

It felt like being thrown into the bottom of a frozen lake in the dead of winter.

The two extremes switch every half breath.

Each switch amplifies the pain.

Ma Boren rolled on the ground, his face covered in snot, tears and saliva, howling so hard his voice cracked, his screams turning from sharp to hoarse!

Finally, even the hoarse sounds stopped, leaving only a gurgling sound in his throat.

Chen Jialuo and his two subordinates behind him also stood up.

The three of them stared at the scene on the ground, and no one said a word.

Mu Jiansheng took half a step back.

Mu Jianping buried her face in her brother's back, covering her ears.

Wei Xiaobao, on the other hand, was thoroughly enjoying the reading.

It wasn't that he was heartless; he had just been tormented by Hai Dafu and the fake Empress Dowager in the palace for two years and knew all too well what it felt like to have your life in someone's hands.

"The Life and Death Talisman of Lingjiu Palace!"

Liu Dahong's voice came out.

Only then did everyone remember that this King Qin was originally the Venerable Master of Lingjiu Palace.
