Martial Arts Crossover: Zhao Min, your sidekick is really something else.

6

One of the customers couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to ask, "Mr. Wang, is the kung fu in the wilderness really as miraculous as you say?"

Xiao Yaoqing nodded: "It's even scarier than you said."

In fact, he hasn't been idle for the past two weeks; he's been exploring the world while telling stories.

The idle gossip in teahouses and taverns, along with the information he obtained from the system, allowed him to slowly piece together the outline of this world.

This place is an unusually strange martial arts world.

In the territories governed by various dynasties, martial arts remained at a low to mid-level.

The desolate wilderness and northern plains beyond the turmoil are the benchmarks of high-level martial arts.

Even the concentration of spiritual energy is several levels higher than outside.

Therefore.

Only those at the Heavenly Dao Realm and above flock to the Northern Wilderness, hoping to seize a chance to break through.

The information Xiao Yaoqing pieced together from the system contained even more explosive details.

No matter how large this landmass is, it is not the whole world.

Perhaps by crossing that boundless sea, we will discover a whole new world.

According to Xiao Yaoqing's own understanding.

This martial arts world is like countless fragments of time and space forcibly kneaded together.

It looks awkward, but it's surprisingly self-consistent.

Most obviously, the whole world is clearly divided into three tiers.

At the very bottom are ordinary people and low-level martial artists who know a few basic skills.

The middle section is the low-to-mid-level martial arts zone under the jurisdiction of various dynasties.

Further up, there are the wastelands, the northern plains, and even further north, unexplored areas—that's Gao Wu's territory.

Within the territories of various dynasties.

Only a few experts at the Innate Realm and above have vaguely heard of the existence of the Wasteland, but their knowledge of it is very limited.

The vast majority of people have no idea at all.

All I know is that the wasteland is a deadly place; once you step in, you can't come back.

just now.

Xiao Yaoqing's actions exposed the true nature of the wilderness, causing an uproar among everyone inside and outside the inn.

Bai Xiaosheng was completely dumbfounded.

He couldn't tell if Xiao Yaoqing was telling the truth or not, but one thing was clear.

The weapon ranking list he treasures is utter nonsense.

Looking at Xiao Yaoqing in front of him, who didn't take him seriously at all.

Bai Xiaosheng's face turned pale and then red, and he felt a tightness in his chest, so he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this time.

Bai Xiaosheng had long since lost the intention he had previously had to criticize Xiao Yaoqing for being unqualified to comment on martial arts.

Let this guy keep talking.

He, the all-knowing scholar, will likely be infamous for eternity.

Without caring about anything else, Bai Xiaosheng pointed at Xiao Yaoqing and roared:

Whether what you said is true or false, someone will naturally investigate.

"I'm not going to argue with you today, but there's one thing you need to explain to me!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yaoqing wore a cold smile.

Finally, they've shown their tail.

He looked coldly at Bai Xiaosheng and asked in a detached tone, "What explanation?"

"You previously crippled You Longsheng's martial arts and also destroyed Ouyang Ke's internal energy. Is that true?"

Bai Xiaosheng questioned him sternly.

"That's right, I'm the one who crippled those two's kung fu."

Xiao Yaoqing nodded.

"Hmph, those two only exchanged a few words with you before, but you went and crippled their martial arts."

"Xiao Yaoqing, you're so cruel!"

When Bai Xiaosheng saw that Xiao Yaoqing did not deny it, he was secretly pleased and immediately started criticizing.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was taken aback at first, but after thinking about it, they realized that Bai Xiaosheng's words made sense.

In the martial arts world, crippling someone's martial arts skills is more hated than having one's parents or wiping out an entire family.

Once your martial arts skills are ruined, your life is over; you'll be no different from a cripple.

In this world, how many people are as lucky as Wuming, able to find the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin and start training again?

Therefore, although Bai Xiaosheng had been thoroughly humiliated by Xiao Yaoqing before, most people present still agreed with his words.

Nobody wants their future ruined by a few words of argument.

Thinking about it this way, many people were swayed by Bai Xiaosheng and began to have opinions about Xiao Yaoqing's actions.

"Sigh, I quite enjoy listening to Mr. Wang's storytelling, but isn't it a bit much to always threaten to cripple someone's martial arts skills?"

"Exactly, if everyone followed his example, wouldn't the martial arts world descend into chaos?"

"I think it would be better to have Mr. Wang apologize and promise not to do it again."

"Yes, we must not encourage this trend."

"Sir, could you apologize, offer some compensation, and let's call it even?"

"I think it's a good idea, let's do it this way."

"Yes, sir, please admit your mistake."

The crowd was chattering, but eventually they reached a consensus: Xiao Yaoqing should apologize to Ouyang Ke and You Longsheng, and give them some compensation, and that would be the end of it.

But neither Xiao Yaoqing nor Bai Xiaosheng agreed.

Bai Xiaosheng went to such great lengths not to get Xiao Yaoqing to admit his mistake, but to make Xiao Yaoqing shut up and stop commenting on martial arts.

As for Xiao Yaoqing, he didn't think he had done anything wrong at all.

Just because Ouyang Ke and You Longsheng's martial arts were crippled, does that mean he was wrong?

That's a joke.

Xiao Yaoqing threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, everyone, I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize?"

"Since You Longsheng and Ouyang Ke have both decided to kill me, can't I take action?"

Bai Xiaosheng took a step forward and raised his voice, asking, "You said Young Master Ouyang harbored murderous intentions towards you. Who saw it? Is there anyone who can testify?"

"Does right and wrong really depend solely on your words?"

Bai Xiaosheng spoke these words with righteous indignation and great momentum.

It seems that Xiao Yaoqing has truly become that villain who cripples people's martial arts at the slightest disagreement.

In an instant, the guests whispered among themselves, and the way they looked at Xiao Yaoqing changed.

Someone in the inn was so angry his teeth itched. He jumped up and blurted out, "I can vouch for this!"

Huang Rong stepped forward.

Her pretty face turned bright red with anger at Bai Xiao.

Ignoring matters of reputation, she continued, "That night, I saw Ouyang Ke lead an assassin to Xiao Yaoqing's window and use a hidden weapon to shoot inside."

"But Xiao Yaoqing was skilled in martial arts. He killed the assassin with a backhand and crippled Ouyang Ke's martial arts with a slap."

"In my opinion, he has been merciful enough!"

As soon as he said that, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Xiao Yaoqing and Huang Rong.

Now everyone felt that they had probably been tricked by Bai Xiaosheng.

If Xiao Yaoqing were to cripple someone's martial arts just because they were arguing, that would indeed be unreasonable.

But what if it's a life-or-death situation?

Xiao Yaoqing's actions were not only perfectly reasonable, but could even be considered ruthless!

However, Bai Xiaosheng had no intention of admitting defeat.

He snorted coldly: "You showing up in Xiao Yaoqing's room in the middle of the night, you must have a special relationship with him."

Can your words be counted?

Huang Rong stomped her foot in anger, her face flushed red, and said, "I swear on my reputation as Huang Rong of Peach Blossom Island, everything I've said is true! Bai Xiaosheng, do you dare to swear on your own life for Ouyang Ke?"

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned, a chill running down his spine.

After all, Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea is no less impressive than White Camel Mountain Villa in the Western Regions.

But now that he's come to this, there's no turning back.

He snorted, flicked his sleeve, ignored Huang Rong, and turned to threaten Xiao Yaoqing: "Who is right and who is wrong in this matter will be judged by public opinion."

Xiao Yaoqing, I advise you to obediently come with me to White Camel Manor to confess your sins.

Otherwise, if the manor owner comes knocking on your door in person, you won't be able to handle the consequences!

After listening to Bai Xiaosheng's words of both persuasion and intimidation, Xiao Yaoqing was not angry; instead, she smiled.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaosheng's sudden appearance was not without reason.

At the same time, after hearing Huang Rong's testimony, everyone present sided with Xiao Yaoqing.

Many people have already guessed who is behind Bai Xiaosheng.

That's Ouyang Feng, the owner of White Camel Mountain Manor!

"You know-it-all."

I am currently within the territory of the Song Dynasty. Ouyang Ke's ambush of me failed, and he has already been captured by the Six Doors.

"The witnesses and evidence are all here, and you want me to go to White Camel Mountain Manor to confess? Do you really think Ouyang Feng can cover up everything?"

Xiao Yaoqing curled his lips slightly before revealing the crucial information—Ouyang Ke's whereabouts.

Ever since Ouyang Ke was taken away by the Six Doors, there has been no news of him.

There were only a few scattered rumors circulating in the martial arts world that his kung fu had been crippled.

Bai Xiaosheng was quite capable; upon recalling You Longsheng's fate, he concluded that the news was definitely true.

So he rushed to Tongfu Inn and forced Xiao Yaoqing to go to White Camel Mountain Villa with him.

otherwise.

It's time for Bai Xiaosheng to taste the pain of being bitten by ten thousand snakes!

But Bai Xiaosheng had no idea.

Ouyang Ke was not in the hands of the local government at all, but was being held by the Six Doors.

This is a big problem.

The people from the Six Doors didn't take Ouyang Feng seriously at all.

Not to mention Zhuge Xiaohua, the Six-Five Divine Marquis, even his Four Great Constables are all formidable.

"You, you—"

Bai Xiaosheng was dumbfounded, pointing at Xiao Yaoqing, unable to speak coherently.

Xiao Yaoqing spoke again:

"Ouyang Feng wants to come find me in person? Fine, let him come!"

"As I said before, that guy, west Du, is neither a hero nor a villain; he's just a scoundrel who stole his sister-in-law."

"Looking at it now, he doesn't even deserve to be called a human being!"

"Even Dongfang Bubai, that eunuch, is more humane than Ouyang Feng."

The string of words that came out left everyone inside and outside the inn completely dumbfounded.

To know.

Which of the Five Greats isn't a top-tier expert?

Wang Chongyang, the Central Divine, personally founded the Quanzhen Sect, and the Seven Masters of Quanzhen became famous far and wide.

Emperor Duan Zhixing of the South, his One-Finger Divine Skill is invincible.

Hong Qigong, the Northern Beggar, was a beggar, but he was capable in both great and small matters of righteousness. He pulled the Dirty Clothes Faction of the Beggar Clan back from the wrong path and led them onto the right path.

Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, lives on Peach Blossom Island and is knowledgeable in everything from astronomy and geography to divination and astrology.

Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, possesses the unpredictable and elusive Spirit Snake Fist and the fierce and domineering Toad Stance. He also oversees the vast White Camel Manor.

Which of the Five Masters isn't a renowned and highly respected senior figure?

But in Xiao Yaoqing's eyes...

Ouyang Feng first had an affair with his sister-in-law, and later, after running away to the Central Plains and becoming one of the Five Greats, he did even more inhuman things.

Instead of properly practicing Toad Style Kung Fu, they insist on chasing after the Nine Yin Manual.

He tried to practice but couldn't understand it, and was completely outmaneuvered by Guo Jing. He practiced the Nine Yin Manual in the wrong way, and if he hadn't been lucky, he would have died long ago.

Does this kind of person deserve to be called a senior expert?

Since Ouyang Feng has come to cause trouble time and time again.

He'll tear Ouyang Feng's face off today!

While the people inside and outside the inn were still in a daze.

Xiao Yaoqing added:

"Ouyang Feng has neither the spirit of a hero nor the mind to be a villain."

Bai Xiaosheng's eyes widened, his mouth agape.

He never dreamed that anyone would dare to publicly curse Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison.

"This level of skill is worthy of being one of the Five Masters? It's utterly shameful!"
