Wuxia: Start with max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill

Chapter 100: Dealing with You Is More Than Enough (Two Chapters Combined)

One of them was none other than the burly man with a foreign accent who had been queuing for fortune telling earlier.

But now, the surprise and respect he had shown for Chen Banxian before he left were gone from his face; instead, a cruel and cold grin appeared on his face.

His eyes were fixed on Li Fu like a wild beast, his bones cracking slightly and his muscles bulging. He was none other than the Ox among the Twelve Fierce Signs.

The other person was the frail scholar who had previously consulted the oracle about his chances of passing the imperial examinations.

At this moment, he no longer showed the hesitation and eagerness he once had for passing the imperial examination. His face was cold and gloomy, and although he still spoke with a scholarly air, his tone was chilling and piercing.

"Old man Baishi, we've finally figured out the truth behind your tangled mess today."

Legend has it that you once took the life of Ding Hong, the "Mountain-Opener," in just three or two moves, and killed Sun Qian, the "Evil Wind Palm," within five moves.

I thought your martial arts skills were divine and unfathomable, and I was truly terrified and fearful.

But it turns out that the truth is actually like this.

"Tsk tsk, what a wondrous and domineering tangled mess finger technique!"

This person is Wu Ma.

Seeing the appearance of two powerful allies, Bai Shi Dao Ren's momentum intensified, and he felt victory was assured.

"Surrender, Li Fu. Believe me, the feeling of dying from ruptured meridians is absolutely unpleasant."

"To be able to predict so accurately, it's definitely a shill."

Li Fu sneered, his gaze sweeping over the two men.

"Why didn't that couple who also do fortune telling come out together? Were they secretly watching and looking for another opportunity to strike, or were they hired by someone else for a fee?"

"At a time like this, you still have the mind to care about these things? Think about your own life," Wei Yang sneered.

Wei Ying felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

The worst-case scenario has occurred!

These top assassins, the Twelve Fierce Phases, who are usually solitary and wary of each other, have actually started to join forces for the bounty placed on their organization, and three of them have made their move!

Are there other culprits lurking in the shadows?

"Miss, please be very careful."

Wei Ying scanned her surroundings warily, keeping a watchful eye on herself.

Seeing the two fierce opponents emerge, Song Zhaoxue tried even harder to use the Su Nu Xuan Gong to neutralize the tangled finger force of Li Fu's right palm.

She deeply felt the domineering force of the fingers, a look of astonishment appearing on her face as she murmured.

"Wait, this—this is—"

"This finger force—this terrifying characteristic of connecting true energy and causing it to become chaotic—could it be a fragmentary evolution of that martial art?"

It is said that there are still fragments of it that have been passed down and circulated outside, and that someone among the twelve fierce signs knows them?

I—I've never even heard of it before.

Li Fu asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Zhaoxue took a deep breath and said.

"Li Fu, do you remember I mentioned before that there is a martial art in the world that can render others' lives and deaths uncontrollable, their internal energy unable to move, leaving them like fish on a chopping board?"

She looked at the Taoist priest with surprise.

"The tangled hemp finger technique used by the White Stone Taoist is very similar to a finger technique attached to that forbidden martial art!"

Perhaps—someone by chance obtained a fragment of its text, grasped some of its essence, and then altered it to create this domineering and wicked "Tangled Finger."

"Is that so?"

Li Fu raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

"According to what you said before, that martial art is a great taboo. People who know its name will not live long, let alone know a move or two of it."

In that case, someone might cause trouble for this Taoist Baishi on our behalf in the future.

Unfortunately, distant water cannot quench an immediate fire; this is no longer the case.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhaoxue couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

She, who is usually cheerful, carefree and dashing, showed a rare seriousness on her face when faced with such a complicated and dangerous situation.

"In this situation, Li Fu, you still dare to joke?"

Li Fu's gaze was fearless as he looked at the three fierce assassins who had now surrounded him.

"Although my right hand is temporarily unusable, my right arm is still mobile, and my left arm is perfectly fine, and moreover—"

If an ordinary martial arts master is suddenly unable to use his skills, it is tantamount to losing his arms and legs. With a powerful enemy in front of him, he will inevitably panic and be terrified.

But when Bai Shi Dao Ren saw that Li Fu had seen his two great helpers appear, he showed no fear and was still talking with his companions.

He had never seen anyone react this way after realizing they had been hit by his "tangled mess" finger technique.

A strange unease flashed through his mind, and he immediately shouted.

"You two, Ugly Ox, stop talking nonsense! Delay will only make things worse. This Li Fu is extremely skilled in martial arts. Kill him now!"

"What's the rush? Do you think they can just run away?"

Ugly Ox twisted its neck, looking as if it had already figured out how to defeat the three of them.

Two ruthless assassins, still at the peak of their combat power, are about to join forces to kill.

"Miss, I'll stop them in a bit. You take Li Fu away."

Wei Ying's expression was tense. Right now, they also had to protect Li Fu, who couldn't use his internal energy, and the situation was extremely bad.

"Hold your hand before you act."

Song Zhaoxue suddenly stepped forward, her gaze sweeping between Chou Niu, Wu Ma, and Bai Shi Dao Ren.

"I have a question that I would like to ask the three of you."

In this assassination attempt, it was Master Baishi's "tangled mess" technique that first succeeded in subduing Li Fu.

If the three of you work together to kill him, how should the ten thousand taels of reward be divided?

Should the credit be entirely given to Master Baishi, or should it be divided equally among the three?

She paused for a moment and then smiled.

"In my opinion, it's better for two people to share the money than three people to share it equally."

There is no one else here, and Li Fu is already under control. We two weak women are no match for you all, and we have no way to escape.

The two of you—first dealt with Wei Yang, whose internal energy was severely depleted, and then returned to the organization saying that we had killed him at our own expense.

Then the remaining two can split the bounty equally. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Um?

"That's a good suggestion. Dividing it between two people will naturally result in more money than dividing it between three."

Ugly Ox, with his thick arms crossed, spoke in a deep voice like an old ox mooing, his eyes, like copper bells, slowly turning to the White Stone Taoist whose expression had suddenly changed.

Wu Ma's eyes also flashed, and a playful sneer appeared on his pale-faced scholar-like face as he glanced sideways at the White Stone Taoist.

"Ox and Horse, don't listen to this witch's nonsense!"

Master Baishi was startled and hurriedly took half a step back, saying urgently.

"She's trying to sow discord. You won't fall for such a simple trick, will you? As for the bounty, we—we can discuss it later!"

His trump card assassination techniques were forced to be completely exposed in front of the Ox and Horse today, which made him very uncomfortable.

Once these strange finger techniques become known and people take precautions, their lethality is greatly reduced.

With the deaths of the Rat and the Rooster in succession, the bounty on Li Fu within the organization had accumulated to a point that made him extremely greedy.

If he hadn't successfully pulled off this heist, he could have retired from crime and enjoyed his later years in peace.

He would never take such a risky move as to reveal his hand to potentially unreliable accomplices.

Especially now that Wei Yang has already used the Chaotic Finger technique once, his internal energy has not yet recovered.

These so-called twelve fierce companions are all cold-blooded bastards who would eat people without spitting out the bones, and there is absolutely no trust in them.

"You're right, miss, but—"

Wu Ma's voice rang out leisurely, then his tone shifted.

The playful smile on his face turned cold and cruel. He shifted his gaze from Baishi Daoist and fixed it back on Li Fu and the other two.

"Little girl, you're underestimating us Twelve Fierce Faces!"

Do you think we're like those petty thieves who start fighting amongst ourselves over the spoils before even defeating their enemies?

You can easily provoke someone into submission with just a few words?

Heh heh, sharp-tongued and cunning!

Once I capture you, I'll definitely teach you a lesson about the power of your tongue.

A hint of wickedness flashed in Wu Ma's eyes. He exchanged a glance with Chou Niu, and the two approached slowly, as if toying with their prey.

"What did you say?!"

When had Song Zhaoxue ever been subjected to such vulgar and obscene harassment?

She was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face flushed red, followed by an overwhelming sense of shame and anger.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened, her pearly teeth clenched, and her chest heaved slightly with anger as she immediately shouted.

Wei Ying!

You deal with the other one, I'll handle this lecherous scoundrel!

Judging from his appearance, one can only imagine how many women he has harmed by relying on his martial arts skills.

Today I will definitely pull out his tongue!

Upon hearing this, Wei Ying slightly turned her body and locked her aura onto the burly man.

"Miss, be careful!"

The two women stood on either side of Li Fu, ready to protect him.

Although they knew Li Fu was highly skilled in martial arts, they were genuinely worried because his right palm was restrained and the enemy consisted of three top assassins.

"Even though my right hand is disabled, I haven't fallen to the point where I need to hide behind women and let them take the blows for me!"

Seeing this, Li Fu couldn't help but laugh, his laughter carrying a hint of boldness and arrogance. With a swift step, he leaped over the two women and charged forward like lightning.

His passionate spirit burst forth, his voice resounding throughout the surrounding area.

"Ugly Ox, Horse, and you, White Stone Taoist!"

Even if I, Li Fu, only have one hand left, I can easily handle you all. No need for further words, all three of you come at me together!

These words, spoken with overwhelming force, truly commanded respect from all sides and drew everyone's attention.

Song Zhaoxue and Wei Ying were shocked by his unparalleled confidence and boldness. Fearing that he would show off, they quickly followed him closely to his left and right, not daring to let him face the three villains alone.

"Fine, since you're so eager to die, I, Iron Horn Heavenly King, will grant your wish!"

The Ox has the most violent temper. With a roar, its already towering body suddenly sank, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Then it strode forward, each step making a loud thud and kicking up dust. Its imposing presence was terrifying, like a raging bull charging into battle, fierce and intimidating!

Li Fu was the first to be affected.

Song Zhaoxue shouted urgently, "Li Fu, do not recklessly use your true energy! Be careful of the tangled hemp finger technique!"

Without turning his head, he simply replied, "It's alright."

Instead of retreating, the man advanced, met him head-on, and struck out with his palm.

The White Stone Taoist did not immediately step forward. Instead, he floated back more than ten feet to make sure he was outside the battle circle, watching with a cold smile and saying in a sinister tone.

"Li Fu, Li Fu, if you had relied on these two girls to protect you and stayed in the back to stall for time, you might have been able to catch your breath a few more times."

It's a pity you insisted on playing the hero—fine, then before you die from exhaustion, let you taste the power of the Ox and Horse brothers' martial arts!

The skill practiced by Chou Niu is an external hard skill called the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Skill, which is said to have been passed down from a Buddhist protector who was famous for his strength in the past.

This skill is derived from the legend of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who holds a pagoda and has the power to suppress demons and monsters.

The tower is heavy, and the Heavenly King is majestic.

It emphasizes the supremacy of strength and the importance of momentum!

When one practices to a high level, one's arms have the strength to throw a cauldron, and splitting stone tablets and rocks is nothing more than a matter of course. Moreover, one's imposing aura is like a heavenly king challenging a battle, and ordinary opponents are intimidated before the battle even begins.

"Let me think about it, is your head worth ten thousand taels of gold? Weren't the Rat and the Rooster unjustly killed by your hand?!"

The ox charged to within ten feet of Li Fu, its right arm muscles bulging, veins coiling like dragons, and it roared.

"Watch my Heavenly King Throws the Tower!"

He combined his powerful internal energy with his arm strength and threw a punch. There were not many fancy moves, but the wind from the punch was howling and extremely fierce. It was like a huge iron tower crashing down, trying to crush Li Fu like an ant!

"Li Fu, how does it feel to not be able to lift your right hand?"

My Thunderclap Fist strikes like thunder, its power containing explosive force, specifically designed to injure tendons, bones, and internal organs.

You'd better watch out, or I might punch you and break all your bones, that would be a real eyesore.

At the same time, Wu Ma, who looked like a pale-faced scholar, spoke in a manner that seemed refined and polite, but was actually full of cold and murderous intent.

His movements were swift and powerful, as if his feet did not touch the ground. He suddenly rushed forward, using the Thunder Fist, a martial arts technique that could also be considered a masterpiece!

This boxing style emphasizes that the fist moves with the person, and the person moves with the fist, pressing forward relentlessly.

Wu Ma's knuckles cracked slightly, and a faint layer of energy emanated from his fists.

He moved closer, not engaging Li Fu in a direct confrontation, while Chou Niu launched a frontal attack, and he threw a powerful punch at Li Fu's ribs!

Midway through the punch, a deep, muffled sound rolled out, like distant thunder, chilling and awe-inspiring.

What's even more impressive is that the Thunderclap Fist is not only fast and ruthless, but also contains a unique explosive force. Once it hits, the force explodes, enough to shatter ordinary swords and metal, let alone flesh and blood.

Neither the Ox nor the Horse are known for their unorthodox assassinations among the twelve inauspicious signs.

They always kill with a direct and forceful approach, relying on their superior martial arts skills to launch a frontal assault. After succeeding, they immediately flee, and often no one can stop them.

This combined force is even more powerful!

The two of them, without prior agreement, still had Li Fu as their primary target, and offered a reward for Li Fu's head. As for the two women, they could deal with them later.

"Come on, all of you! We're not afraid of you!"

Ugly Ox and the others originally thought that Li Fu's right palm was crippled by the tangled hemp finger, greatly reducing his combat power. They believed that with the combined strength of the two of them, they could surely defeat him within three to five moves. At that time, dealing with the two girls would be a piece of cake.

However, the moment they exchanged blows, both of them were shocked!

Although Li Fu's right palm was lowered and his five fingers were slightly curled, the fierce palm power of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms was still overwhelming and unstoppable as his left palm flew around!

Even more astonishingly, although he couldn't use his palm on his right arm, it was still flexible and powerful. With elbow strikes and arm sweeps, he was unleashing another external martial arts technique, the Great Stele-Smashing Hand.

The arm moves like a pestle, and the force is like smashing a giant monument, fierce and powerful.

Bang!

"Looking at your fierce face, even choosing you as a flag bearer would be a disgrace to the ceremonial dignity."

Give the Heavenly King back!

Li Fu's "Regretful Dragon Soars" technique, with its overwhelming palm force, clashed head-on with Chou Niu's "Heavenly King Throws Tower." The two immense forces collided with a deafening roar, and shockwaves rippled outwards.

"you----"

The Ox, which had charged forward with great momentum, was instead forced to take a step back.

Almost simultaneously, his right arm swung like a monstrous python, slamming the horizontal beam in his hand with a powerful thud, forcing Wu Ma back.

"Don't be afraid of the wind biting your tongue; let's see who ends up with broken bones and torn tendons!"

"Even with only one hand remaining, he remains so ferocious!"

The ugly ox, who was stronger than him, suffered a loss in the head-on collision and personally experienced Li Fu's powerful skills.

Wu Ma took two steps back, steadied himself, felt a sinking feeling in his heart, and changed his fist stance, transforming it into a swift move from his signature martial art, Thunder Sound Pursuit.

The fists flew like a whirlwind, targeting Li Fu's right arm joints and vital acupoints in his chest and abdomen with ruthless and cunning tactics.

"Officer Li, your skills are truly impressive."

But as you practice your internal energy, do you feel your internal force gradually getting out of control?

Why struggle? In the end, we'll beat you until your bones are broken and your face is unrecognizable. You'll still die!
