Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

The sky over Hangzhou was overcast and gray, with a light drizzle falling on the streets.

Qin Han passed through the city gate, and Cai Jing's salt road experts, along with the group of wandering martial artists raised by the Yuwen family, launched a simultaneous attack on the Lin residence.

This level of force was clearly intended to silence them.

The aura of a grandmaster lingered, and before the fine raindrops could even fall on him, they were completely blocked by the outward-emitting aura, keeping them at least half a foot away.

The women who came after them weren't so lucky.

Li Mochou used her whisk to shield her head from the rain as she spurred her horse to catch up with the people in front of her, saying irritably.

"Why are you running so fast? Does Lin Ruhai have a beautiful daughter? Is she worth you running through this rain?!"

Qin Han's face darkened. What kind of blunt truth is this?

"Don't talk nonsense. It's just that what he has is very important to me. If you can't handle it, find a place to take shelter from the rain first."

Li Mochou was taken aback by these words; it was the first time she had ever seen Qin Han act so seriously without his usual flirtatious manner.

He lashed the horse's rump hard with his whip, urging it to speed up and catch up.

Shi Qingxuan was wrapped in a cloak, so this little drizzle was nothing to her, but she was afraid that a downpour would come soon.

"This man... is really strange."

Xiaolongnu's riding skills weren't particularly outstanding, but after two days of recuperation, her energy had barely recovered. She leaned her entire body against the horse's back to reduce resistance.

None of the three women said they wanted to stay and take shelter from the rain.

......

Outside the main gate of the Lin residence.

Eight corpses lay scattered on the ground, blood flowing down the bluestone slabs into the low-lying areas.

The air was filled with a strong smell of rust.

A dozen men dressed in black were wielding batters as thick as an arm, forcefully smashing the vermilion gate. With each strike, a dull thud of breaking wood could be heard from inside.

The bald man leading the group looked at the door that was about to be broken open and turned to urge his men on.

"Hurry up! Damn it, stop dawdling! Those three old geezers inside won't last much longer!"

Inside the courtyard.

Three old men stood back to back by the pillars at the main entrance. The old man in the lead, wearing a gray short jacket, had been slashed in the chest.

He was breathing heavily.

The other two weren't much better off. One was limping on the ground, and the other was clinging to a broken knife handle, his back against a pillar, barely clinging to life.

These three are all well-known figures in the local Hangzhou underworld, and are known as the Four Eccentrics of the North.

Also known as the Four Heroes of Falling Flowers and Flowing Water.

Apart from Hua Tieqian, the invincible master of Zhongping, who did not come, three of the Four Wonders of the North came.

Lu Tianshu, unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness; Liu Chengfeng, swordsman of gentle clouds; Shui Dai, swordsman of the cold moon.

When he heard that Lin Ruhai had been assassinated, he thought that this censor was a rare good official and took the initiative to come to his residence to help.

Now, helping others is almost costing me my life.

The eldest brother, Lu Tianshu, gritted his teeth and shouted anxiously towards the backyard.

"Miss Lin, please take Master Lin and leave through the back door! We can't hold on much longer!"

Soon, a fierce fight broke out from the backyard, followed by several screams.

Clearly, the back door had already been blocked.

Lin Ruhai's bedroom.

The two wooden doors were violently kicked open, and a strong smell of medicine filled the room.

On the carved bed, Lin Ruhai was so thin he was just skin and bones, his face was bluish-purple and dark, and his eyes were cloudy and lifeless.

He was kept alive by an old ginseng root sent by the Four Heroes, Shui Dai.

Lin Daiyu knelt before the bed, her eyes already red and swollen from crying, her light green dress stained with medicine and mud from the ground.

"Father...Father, don't sleep...don't sleep!"

Lin Ruhai's withered lips trembled twice, but he could no longer make a sound.

A few very light footsteps sounded on the stone steps outside the bedroom, and a pale-skinned man slowly stepped up the steps.

The man was tall and thin, wearing a long, light green robe with intricate embroidery on the collar, and a faint, sinister smile playing on his lips.

One of the twelve zodiac animals in the martial arts world, ranked sixth: the Snake, also known as the Jade Snake God.

He glanced at the body of the guard at his feet and casually kicked it twice with the tip of his boot.

"Master Lin."

"We are only after your money. Your account books and letters are very valuable. If you know what's good for you, hand them over. Otherwise, no one in the Lin family will live to see tomorrow's sun."

Lin Daiyu was already frail and sickly, and when she saw the ugly appearance of the man at the door, she felt an uncontrollable nausea rising in her stomach.

The Jade Serpent God stepped across the threshold and entered the house.

Qin Han's guards were all lured away by him using a diversionary tactic. Led by Wei Wuya, the Rat, they created false targets in the south of the city, effectively keeping Grandmaster Lin Pingzhi stranded halfway.

At this moment, there was no one in the entire Lin family mansion who could stop him.

The Jade Serpent God slowly approached.

"Lord Lin, you're about to die."

"Why don't you tell me what you've hidden, and I might take pity on you and spare your daughter's life?"

Lin Ruhai's fingers twitched slightly, and his cloudy eyes glared fiercely at the other person.

Lin Daiyu got up and stood in front of the bed.

"Don't even think about it!"

The Jade Serpent God tilted his head and examined the tear-streaked face.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand, and a layer of pale green poisonous gas emanated from his palm as he reached out to grab Lin Daiyu's throat.

As long as we catch this girl, even if the old man is about to die, he will have to obediently spit out the food in order to save his daughter.

Lin Daiyu quickly pulled out the gold hairpin from her hair, pointing the sharp end directly at her neck.

"Even if you die, I will never let you use me to threaten Father!"

The Jade Serpent God paused for a moment, not expecting this woman to be so resolute and fearless.

He snorted coldly.

"Once you're dead, you're truly useless."

The man muttered to himself, "Too bad you're just an ordinary person, how can you be as fast as me?"

His hand forcibly changed direction in mid-air, turning to grab Lin Daiyu's wrist, which was holding the gold hairpin.

Just as the Jade Serpent God was about to succeed, a loud bang came from above.

The tiled roof above the bedroom burst open from the middle, and large pieces of wood slammed against the wall and bounced off.

The drizzling rain outside seeped into the room through the cracked ceiling.

A figure in black landed.

The Azure Serpent God's pupils contracted sharply, and his body quickly retreated.

The figure that descended from the sky emitted an extremely oppressive aura, pushing all the scattered wood chips in the house toward the outside of the door.

The overwhelming aura caused the Azure Serpent God's internal energy to churn.

He was a seasoned veteran of the underworld, and his first reaction was not to fight head-on, but to turn around and prepare to find a way to escape.

As soon as he took half a step, a large hand of true energy gripped the back of his neck from a distance.

Dragon-Capturing Skill!

Qin Han stood steadily amidst the rubble, his five fingers clenched together.

Did I let you leave?

The Jade Serpent God's entire back tensed up, and when the back of his neck touched Qin Han's palm, his hands instinctively reached back to grab.

He attempted to slap the other person's arm away with his poisonous palm.
