Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Yu Chuhong's old face was gloomy, and her right hand, which was holding the cane, felt a tingling numbness.

"You...you...what level are you at now?"

Qin Han responded with a look as if he were looking at a dead man.

A ripple spread across the water beneath his feet, and his five fingers suddenly clenched into a claw.

Their figures instantly closed in!

Having lived most of her life, You Chuhong's extensive combat experience made her instinctively raise the dragon-headed cane in her hand.

He unleashed a move from his cloak and staff technique called "Rooted to the Ground," pressing down hard against the opponent.

The staff, carrying a powerful momentum, slammed down on Qin Han's right shoulder, attempting to force him to withdraw and defend.

Qin Han's right hand remained in the same direction, his five fingers gripping the tip of the cane that was being hurled at him!

The aura and energy of a grandmaster spread across the river, and You Chuhong felt an indescribable force transmitted through the staff.

She was about to pull her cane back when the other person's five fingers gripped it tightly, refusing to budge.

Qin Han suddenly exerted force with his five fingers!

The dragon-headed cane, crafted from a century-old ironwood, shattered instantly.

Without her weapon, You Chuhong's internal energy circulation briefly stalled.

Before she could use any other tricks, an extremely domineering backlash surged up along the meridians in her arm.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood fell onto the river surface and was quickly washed away by the current. He swayed a few times on the water's surface, almost falling headfirst into the water.

You Chuhong looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"True Essence! You are not a Grandmaster!"

"This is the unity of heaven and man, no... no... you haven't fully stepped into the realm of heaven and man yet... you're only half a step into the realm of heaven and man!"

Her voice trembled slightly; she had only heard of the Celestial Realm before.

The Dugu family has been rooted in Jiangnan for so many years and has collected countless martial arts classics, some of which contain scattered records that mention the threshold of the unity of heaven and man.

The step of condensing true essence is enough to kill 99% of grandmasters. Top-notch martial arts are the second threshold. How could this young man, who is so young, have already reached this step?

Only one thought remained in You Chuhong's mind.

The intelligence is incorrect!

We must escape.

Having lived for so many years, she knows very well how big the gap is between a Celestial Being and a Grandmaster; it is a chasm that cannot be bridged by experience or techniques.

You Chuhong tapped her toes twice on the water's surface, unleashing her true energy to its limit, and her entire body rapidly retreated.

Everyone on the Dugu family's ship was stunned, and someone spoke up urgently.

"Old Madam, be careful!"

You Chuhong had only retreated less than three zhang (approximately 10 meters) away.

Qin Han's figure disappeared from the spot.

You Chuhong felt an extremely dangerous aura behind her. Just as she was about to turn around, a sharp pain shot through her lower back.

Qin Han appeared behind her as if by teleportation, and his right palm transformed into a fist, striking her dantian (lower abdomen).

Yu Chuhong's body bent at an odd angle in mid-air, and the clothes on her back tore open, revealing the withered flesh underneath.

Her eyes bulged outwards, and her face was completely distorted beyond recognition.

The true energy he had cultivated in his dantian for sixty years was completely dissipated on the spot by this punch.

Then Qin Han changed his fist into a palm.

"Northern Darkness Divine Art!"

The scattered true energy within You Chuhong's body was uncontrollably absorbed.

A buzzing sound filled her mind as she recognized the martial art.

Beiming Divine Art!

You Chuhong tried to struggle, but the excruciating pain from her destroyed dantian left her powerless, and she could only watch helplessly as the power she had cultivated for decades was absorbed by the other party.

In the blink of an eye, most of the true energy that was overflowing from her body was absorbed.

Qin Han stopped sucking and flicked his wrist. His face was full of undisguised disgust.

"Your internal energy is too mixed up; it's a complete mess..."

He kicked You Chuhong in the chest.

You Chuhong's body slammed directly into the Yangtze River, the turbid water churning up a large splash.

He died without a complete corpse.

The river became quiet for a brief moment.

On the Dugu family's ship, a young man's legs went weak and he collapsed onto the deck, his crotch soaked.

Qin Han turned to look in the direction of Li Jing's ship.

Li Jing stood by the ship's railing, awaiting instructions.

Qin Yu's tone was cold and indifferent.

"kill!!"

Everyone on the river could hear it clearly.

Li Jing did not hesitate at all.

"Issue the king's decree!"

"All cannons aimed at the enemy ships!"

"fire!"

Pang Qingyun drew his sword from his waist and pointed it at the Dugu family's fleet.

"Wu Yang, aim!"

Zhao Erhu grinned and held the torch to the fuse of the cannon.

"You damned Dugu family, Tiger Lord will show you what's what this time!"

Jiang Wuyang directed the adjustment of the twenty-odd cannons at the rear, aiming the muzzles at the remaining dozens of large ships of the Dugu family.

next moment.

Thirty-six cannons fired simultaneously!

The continuous sound of cannons echoed across the Yangtze River!

The first salvo smashed the hulls of seven or eight large ships, with wood chips and scraps of iron flying everywhere, and many people were instantly turned into mincemeat by the shells.

The members of the Dugu family scrambled up from the deck and tumbled and crawled out of the ship.

"Quickly... quick, turn the rudder... retreat! retreat!"

He had only taken two steps when a shell hit him directly, turning him into a bloody mist.

Pang Qingyun stood by the ship's railing for a while, then turned back and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Jing.

"General, these ships can't escape. The brothers downstream have blocked all their escape routes."

Li Jing stared expressionlessly at the firelight on the river.

"Keep releasing them until all the boats have sunk into the Yangtze River."

The second round of salvos followed immediately.

The Dugu family's fleet lost its ability to resist on the river. Some ships tried to turn around and escape, but large ships downstream had already blocked their retreat.

About half an hour later.

No more intact enemy ships could be seen on the river.

Whether it was the hundred or so large ships brought by the Dugu family, or the ships of the Water Dragon Gang and the group of Japanese pirates, all of them were destroyed, leaving only floating wreckage and the pungent smell of gunpowder on the water.

Li Jing then raised his hand to signal for a halt to firing.

Zhao Erhu stood at the bow of the boat, scanning the water below, then turned his head and spat into the water.

"Hmph! A bunch of blind fools who dare to oppose the Prince!"

A great deal of shouting erupted from the Giant Kun Gang's camp.

Bu Tianzhi and Chen Laomou took the lead in kneeling on the ground and kowtowing in the direction of Qin Han.

"The King of Qin is mighty!"

"The King of Qin is mighty!"

As Yun Yuzhen watched the man walk back, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"He...he really came, and he even avenged me. He cares about me..."

……

three days later.

Lin'an City, the main hall of the Song Dynasty imperial city.

The morning court session had just begun, and the civil and military officials stood in two rows on either side.

Emperor Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty sat on the dragon throne with a calm expression, preparing to ask his ministers to present their reports.

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the main hall, and a eunuch stumbled into the hall and knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! An urgent message from Jiangnan! The matriarch of the Dugu family... is dead without a complete corpse!"
