Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

A painful cough came from the ruins. Bian Bufeng suddenly stretched out a hand from the pile of bricks and tiles, his five fingers gripping the protruding blue bricks on the ground, and used his strength to push his whole body out.

His face was covered in blood, several of his ribs were broken by the tail, and dark red blood foam mixed with dust hung from the corner of his mouth.

Upon seeing that terrifying creature still there, he didn't even bother to spit out the dust that had been forced into his mouth. He kicked his legs twice on the ground, rolled over, and rushed out of the warm pavilion.

"Cough cough...cough..."

The wooden door had long since shattered into several pieces. He tumbled and crawled, crashing through the door frame and plunging headfirst into the courtyard.

As the night wind blew in, Bian Bufu shivered, but his mind cleared up a bit. The dark clouds had already dispersed, revealing the bright moon in the sky.

As long as you get over that wall.

As long as you escape from the Qin King's mansion.

I can live on my own.

With a determined heart, he activated a secret technique, channeling the remaining true energy within his body. He pushed off the bluestone slab with his toes and charged towards the high wall.

But just then, a loud bang came from behind!

A force ripped open most of the roof of the warm pavilion from the inside, sending tiles and wooden beams flying in all directions. Chi Yuan's three-zhang-long body burst out, its black scales gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Those golden vertical pupils locked onto Bian Bufu in mid-air. The dragon's tail flicked in the ruins, causing the ground of the entire courtyard to tremble.

Bian Bufu had already jumped into the air, less than three feet away from the top of the high wall, and could even see the canopies of the old locust trees outside the wall.

He glanced back.

He was terrified at first glance!

A large mouth full of white teeth was seen biting at you from behind.

Two rows of interlocking teeth gleamed white in the moonlight, and scalding breath poured out of its large mouth, carrying a strong, bloody, and pungent smell—the lingering scent of a wild beast chewing on flesh and blood year after year, seeping straight into the bones of the man.

Bian Bufu was so afraid that he couldn't even make a sound.

Only one thought remained in my mind.

It’s over.

"No...no!!"

He cried out in his heart, but it was too late. A sound of bones cracking rang out in the courtyard. Before Bian Bufu could even scream, Chi Yuan's mouth snapped shut!

Two rows of teeth bit down directly into his waist, instantly tearing his spine, ribs, and internal organs into pieces.

Blood and bits of flesh rained down from mid-air, fragments of intestines, liver, and lungs smashing onto the bluestone slabs, the stench of blood thick and pungent.

Bian Bufu's upper body detached from his lower body and flew forward seven or eight zhang (approximately 33-40 meters) using inertia before crashing heavily onto the rocks.

The rocks were smashed and cracked, with pebbles falling down. The upper body slid down the artificial hill, leaving a long trail of blood on the stone surface.

He scratched at the artificial rock with his fingers, his fingernails flipped up, leaving several bloody fingerprints.

Those eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.

Bian Bufeng's mouth was open, and he was breathing heavily with air leaking from his throat. He wanted to speak, but his lungs were gone, and only blood bubbles could come out of his throat.

The light in his eyes slowly faded, and his fingers slipped off the artificial rock, dangling in mid-air for a couple of moments before coming to rest completely.

The notorious lecher Bian Bufu is dead.

Chi Yuan tilted his head in mid-air, still holding Bian Bufu's lower body in his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and then a look of disgust suddenly appeared in his vertical pupils.

He spat out the bits of meat from his mouth, which fell to the ground mixed with bone fragments.

His vertical pupils revealed disdain, clearly indicating that he found this kind of bloody filth unpalatable.

Chi Yuan flicked its tail, its massive body coiling up in the middle of the courtyard. Dense footsteps echoed all around as the guards outside the palace rushed over, and torches illuminated the entire courtyard.

Dozens of guards carrying muskets and long swords rushed into the courtyard. When they saw the three-zhang-long black and red dragon coiled in the middle of the courtyard, everyone froze on the spot. One guard dropped his torch.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Another guard stammered, his legs trembling. Someone raised a musket and aimed it at Chi Yuan, his fingers shaking.

"Where did this monster come from?!"

"Protect the Prince!"

"Quickly, get the ladies out of here!"

The guards pressed forward with gritted teeth, shielding the warm pavilion behind them. A'Zhu and the others emerged from the pavilion, which had half its roof collapsed. Xiao Zhao supported Qin Keqing, while Cheng Ying walked at the front, holding the jade flute in her hand.

At this moment, A'Zhu disguised herself as Qin Han.

Zhong Ling saw Chi Yuan coiled in the middle of the courtyard and ran over. Chi Yuan lowered its head, and its golden vertical pupils, which could have killed Bian Bufu, were now very docile, allowing Zhong Ling to tiptoe and touch its lowered head.

The scales feel cool and smooth to the touch.

"Chi Yuan, you're so amazing."

Chi Yuan snorted contentedly, giving him a look that said, "You're only just realizing this now?"

Two puffs of hot air hit Zhong Ling's face, blowing the stray hairs on her forehead backward. A Zhu, wearing Qin Han's face, stepped forward and glanced at the guards on the ground.

"Put down your weapons."

The guards looked at each other, and one of the bolder guard captains stammered out.

"Your Highness... this... this is..."

Azhu waved her hand, her expression perfectly calm.

"This is not a monster, but a divine beast of destiny from Sichuan. I went to great lengths to bring it back, specifically to protect the land and its people."

"You don't need to make a fuss."

A mythical beast of destiny.

The guards looked at each other, and one of them secretly glanced at Chi Yuan, who was coiled in the middle of the courtyard. His vertical pupils gleamed with a faint golden light in the firelight, and his black and red scales were layered one on top of another. The two bulges on his head vaguely revealed the beginnings of dragon horns.

Isn't that a dragon?

Jiao is also a dragon.

One of the guards reacted immediately, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Chi Yuan.

"May God protect the Prince! May God protect the land of Shu!"

One by one, the other guards knelt down, their fear turning into awe and excitement.

Only the emperor raises dragons. If even our prince can raise dragons, then naturally no one in the world can stand in his way.

Chi Yuan glanced at the guards kneeling on the ground, his vertical pupils revealing no emotion, and yawned with his mouth wide open.

Its enormous body began to shrink rapidly, returning to the size of a palm, and landed on Zhong Ling's shoulder.

It climbed down the arm and nestled on the head of the ferret being held. The ferret shrank its neck and dared not move.

Zhong Ling chuckled twice, reached out and patted Chi Yuan's little head, then patted the Lightning Sable's ears.

Qin Keqing looked at the blood and gore on the ground, her face turned pale, and she covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Xiao Zhao helped her sister Keqing and quickly turned her face away.

Cheng Ying put away her jade flute, ordered the servants to clean the courtyard, and then had someone temporarily cover the collapsed warm pavilion with a cloth curtain.

The torches in the courtyard swayed in the night breeze.

The sounds of fighting in the front yard on the other side of the courtyard wall had not yet ceased.

Pi Shouxuan, who was fighting Xiao Feng, felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart.
