Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

After saying this, he neither drew the Golden Snake Sword from his waist nor asked anyone beside him to bring him a weapon. Instead, he slowly walked to the entrance of the Hall of Righteousness and raised his hand to break off a dead branch as thick as an arm from a withered peach tree.

His action stunned everyone present. Using a dry twig against Yang Miaozhen's pear blossom spear was incredibly disrespectful.

Everyone secretly thought to themselves, it seems the rumors are true, Ye Wudao has advanced to the Celestial Realm and is about to become the nineteenth on the Celestial Realm Ranking.

Yang Miaozhen was also taken aback, then her cheeks flushed slightly, and a feeling of annoyance rose in her heart at being looked down upon. With her family's Pear Blossom Spear Technique, she had few rivals in Shandong. When had she ever been so disrespected?

"you......!!"

"please."

Qin Han held the withered branch and casually drew a half-circle in front of him.

Yang Miaozhen gritted her teeth and said no more. Her pear blossom spear suddenly trembled, and the tip of the spear flicked out seven or eight silver spear flowers, heading straight for Qin Han's face, throat, and several vital points in his chest.

She displayed remarkable skill from the very first move. Even seasoned martial arts practitioners like Wen Tailai and Zhao Banshan couldn't help but shrink their pupils, realizing that they would be caught off guard if they faced her attack.

Faced with a sky full of gunfire, Qin Han's response was quite simple. He slowly moved the withered branch in his hand forward, neither fast nor slow, looking even a bit lazy.

Ding!

A crisp sound rang out, and the ordinary withered branch struck the tip of the pear blossom spear precisely. With just that simple touch, Yang Miaozhen's spear blossoms scattered, and a heavy yet skillful force traveled along the shaft of the spear, making her arm go numb and causing her to involuntarily take half a step back.

How is that possible!

Yang Miaozhen was greatly shocked. She then let out a delicate shout and her footwork changed. Her body became agile, and her spear turned into a silver light, sweeping, thrusting, and slashing. She used all the variations of the Pear Blossom Spear Technique, and the shadow of the spear and the cold light flew everywhere.

No matter how fierce and varied her attacks were, Qin Han didn't move an inch. The withered branch in his hand seemed to come alive, blocking the most crucial point every time. With just a simple tap, deflection, and deflection, he neutralized all her attacks.

Everyone around was stunned. This was the Celestial Realm, a prestigious title held by only eighteen people on the Eighth Rank of the Martial Arts World!

Standing next to Bingxue'er, Xiao Hufei stared wide-eyed, his face full of admiration, thinking to himself, "Uncle Ye is really amazing, even more amazing than my dad."

Chen Jinnan was also shocked. This was no martial arts competition; it was clearly adults playing with children.

Luo Bing's beautiful eyes shone brightly as she looked at Qin Han, who remained calm and composed in the arena, filled with admiration.

Yang Miaozhen, who was in the arena, felt it very clearly. She felt like a naughty child who had used all her skills but was completely useless in front of her opponent. Sweat soaked her temples and streamed down her cheeks. Her breathing became more and more rapid, and her face was flushed red with exhaustion and shame.

Seeing that things had gone far enough, Qin Han decided not to push her too far. When Yang Miaozhen thrust her spear at him again, the withered branch in his hand suddenly changed its move. Instead of just blocking, it slid quickly up the spear shaft.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Three soft sounds rang out in succession as the withered branch struck three major acupoints on her wrist, arm, and shoulder. Yang Miaozhen's body immediately went numb on one side, and she lost all strength in her arm.

Clang!

The pear blossom spear that had been with her for many years slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

The entire room fell silent.

Yang Miaozhen stood there blankly, looking at the spear on the ground, then at Qin Han, who was holding a withered branch and looking indifferent. Her pretty face turned red and then white, then white and then red again.

She lost, lost completely, without even touching the hem of her opponent's clothes.

Qin Han casually tossed the withered branch to the ground, looked at the distraught Yang Miaozhen, and slowly began to speak.

"Your marksmanship is quite good, powerful and varied, but our levels are too different, and you are too focused on the techniques, neglecting the application of your own 'spear stance'."

Yang Miaozhen looked at Qin Han, her heart filled with mixed feelings. Besides shame, indignation, and resentment, she felt a profound sense of enlightenment and awe.

She wasn't one to back down, so she bowed to Qin Han.

"Thank you for your guidance, Prince Ye. I am truly convinced."

Qin Han casually tossed aside the withered branch and stepped forward to support Yang Miaozhen's elbow.

A surge of energy traveled through his hand, instantly relieving the soreness and numbness in Yang Miaozhen's arm. She was close by and noticed the stubble that Qin Han had deliberately left on his face. Her ears felt hot, so she quickly withdrew her spear, took a half-step back, and clasped her hands in a fist salute.

"Ye Wang's divine skills are truly admirable."

Qin Han smiled warmly, his gaze sweeping over the now quiet crowd, and spoke loudly.

"I am deeply grateful to all the heroes who have come from afar. Now that we have arrived at the Golden Serpent Camp, let us enter the hall together and discuss strategies to defeat the enemy."

His words eased the tense atmosphere of the earlier martial arts competition considerably, and he naturally adopted the demeanor of someone in charge.

A while later, in the council hall of the Golden Snake Camp.

The hall was spacious, with two rows of large chairs on the left and right. Qin Han sat in the middle, with the Golden Snake Sword on the table. Xiaolongnu and Ajiu stood beside him. Xia Qingqing did not come in; she was busy arranging accommodations for the girls Qin Han had brought.

Seated at the lower level were Chen Jinnan, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society; Mu Jiansheng, the young prince of the Mu family; Chen Jialuo, the leader of the Red Flower Society; Yang Miaozhen of the Red Coat Army; and representatives from the Beggars' Gang and the Thirteen Families of Kuidong. The atmosphere in the hall appeared harmonious on the surface, but each family had its own agenda.

Qin Han raised his hand, not in a hurry for Lin Pingzhi to talk about the intelligence gathered by the Luo Wang, and asked in a calm tone.

"You are all heroes from various regions. With 100,000 Qing troops pressing in, please feel free to share any good ideas you may have for repelling them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jinnan thought for a moment, then stood up first and bowed to the people around him.

"In my opinion, Tu Hai's 100,000 troops are all elites with high morale. It's not good to confront them head-on. Right now, we should avoid their sharp edge and retreat to a safe place in the mountains. We can avoid their momentum for now and wait until their supplies run out before we think of a solution."

"Chief Chen, what you said is inappropriate!"

Mu Jiansheng stood up and immediately retorted. The Mu family was already at odds with the Heaven and Earth Society because of Wei Xiaobao. Now everyone knew how valuable Qin Han was, so how could they let the Heaven and Earth Society gain their favor?

"Now that Prince Ye commands all directions, and heroes from all sides who resist the Qing have gathered here, this is the perfect opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Qing army. How can we be so timid? To be afraid before even fighting is a disgrace to us anti-Qing righteous warriors!"

On the Heaven and Earth Society's side, Xu Tianchuan, the white-bearded man, couldn't stand the state of the Mu family's residence. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted loudly.

"Fight? What are we going to use to fight! Kangxi's 100,000-strong army is pressing in, armed with cannons and countless firearms. We outnumber them. Do you think we can win this battle with just hot blood?"
