Wuxia: Start with max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill

Having unleashed his potential with the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and mastered all the techniques of martial arts, Li Fu, having already discerned the essence of his opponent's palm techniques in their brief exchange yesterday, has further enhanced his understanding of the martial arts.

At this moment, the opponent's move is as clear as reading the lines on one's palm.

Li Fu pressed forward again, and Cao Mufeng raised his palm to block, but his move was seen through. With a clever use of the power of Qiankun Shift, Li Fu deflected Cao Mufeng's full-force poisonous palm strike, leaving Cao Mufeng wide open.

boom!

"The dragon that soars too high will regret it!"

Two palms landed in quick succession on Cao Mufeng's wide-open chest, the powerful force penetrating his body!

puff--!

He had no choice but to believe it. Cao Mufeng flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out blood, and crashed heavily into the dust several feet away.

His bones and muscles felt like they were about to break, his internal organs were displaced, and he could no longer move!

Upon seeing this, the surrounding soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, their cold spear tips densely packed against Cao Mufeng's vital points.

"Lock it up."

Li Fu slowly withdrew his palm and waved his hand.

The room was silent.

Feng Shaoting stood up excitedly, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Great!"

He strode down the stage, walked to Li Fu's side, and looked the young man up and down. He saw that Li Fu's breathing was even and long, and he did not look like he had just finished a fierce battle. He secretly admired him.

Feng Shaoting reached out and patted Li Fu on the shoulder, speaking gently.

"Officer Li captured this culprit, which was a great achievement. He not only saved Lord Hong, but also rid Yanzhou of a menace."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the limp judge Hong Tongpan on the ground, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Judge Hong was lying on his back on the ground, his face had turned from pale to bluish-black, his lips were purple, he was clutching his chest, and making a sound in his throat, it was clear that the poison had attacked his heart.

"Quickly find the antidote and give it to the magistrate."

Feng Shaoting gave instructions to his men.

The constables and officers cautiously stepped forward to search, but as soon as they touched Cao Mufeng, they were poisoned and also fell ill.

"big eater.

Officer Li has already subdued the man; none of you can accomplish anything.

"Liao Xing, you go forward."

Feng Shaoting frowned.

He instructed a scholar in white robes behind him. The man was middle-aged, with a slender face and a figure as graceful as a pine tree. He wore a scholar's hat and looked like a learned man with an elegant demeanor.

"Yes, sir."

Mr. Liao Xing stepped forward, put on a pair of leather gloves, and quickly took out several porcelain bottles from Cao Mufeng's inner pocket. Some were white, some were blue, some were round, and some were flat.

He uncorked each one and smelled them one by one, then picked out a small bottle containing several pale red pills that emitted a faint, cool scent.

"My lord, this should be the antidote."

He poured out a pill, walked to Magistrate Hong's side, pried open his jaw, stuffed the pill into his mouth, and then lifted the back of his neck to help him swallow it.

After a short while, the bluish-black tinge on Judge Hong's face slowly faded. Although he was still as pale as paper, his chest heaved noticeably more powerfully.

Li Fu watched from the side.

This is Mr. Liao Xing, a man under Feng Shaoting, who is said to be both a scholar and a warrior, and is well-versed in the Eight Trigrams, medicine, and poisons.

He does seem to be quite capable.

Judge Hong took a deep breath, coughed a few times, and slowly woke up. Having returned from the brink of death, he struggled to sit up, and two constables beside him quickly helped him up.

"Throw this scoundrel...throw him into the iron jail! Throw him into the iron jail!"

He opened his eyes and saw Cao Mufeng; his face was filled with uncontrollable anger.

"This man dared to kidnap an official of the imperial court, openly commit murder, poison and plot to kill me, and even wanted to kill me in broad daylight. He is truly audacious."

Such heinous crimes warrant immediate execution.

Hong Tongpan hated Cao Mufeng to the extreme for kidnapping him, poisoning him, and ordering his execution, which caused him to lose face in front of all the officials and soldiers.

The killing intent in his eyes was almost tangible.

"Lord Hong, please wait."

Li Fu suddenly spoke up to dissuade him.

"Officer Li, what are your thoughts?"

Hong Tongpan's gaze suddenly turned to Li Fu.

The scene of Li Fu capturing the enemy and saving him when he was on the verge of death from poisoning flashed through his mind, and a surge of resentment mixed with embarrassment welled up in his chest.

This brat dares to put his life, as a dignified prefect, on the line of capturing thieves!

But unfortunately, it was the other party who saved his life, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could only swallow his anger.

"This person is highly skilled in martial arts and his poisons are difficult to guard against. He also claims to be Cao Yu's brother, so he is suspected to be the treasure robber."

However, I feel there are still several suspicious points in the case of the treasure robbery, which require careful investigation before a conclusion can be reached.

Li Fudao.

"What's the point of further investigation?"

Hong Tongpan felt a dull pain in his chest and instinctively clutched his heart, trying to remain calm.

"Caught red-handed, with irrefutable evidence, if he wasn't the one who committed those bloody crimes, then who was?"

Officer Li, are you going to try and exonerate this thief?

His martial arts skills are so high, and his methods are so vicious, yet we keep him alive for even a day.

"I...I will not be able to sleep peacefully for even a day!"

To be honest, even without the sleeping potion, Judge Hong knew he was no match for Cao Mufeng, especially since this man possessed strange and domineering poison skills and a powerful sleeping potion that could cripple martial arts masters with a wave of his hand.

He secretly instructed someone to deal with Cao Yu in prison, thus forging an irreconcilable feud with the man.

The longer the night lasts, the more things may go wrong; this person must die quickly!

"Lord Hong, please calm down."

What Constable Li said is not without merit.

Feng Shaoting slowly stroked his beard and began to speak.

"Now that this thief has been captured and thoroughly interrogated to solidify the case, it will be much safer to report to the Ministry of Justice. Besides—"

He changed the subject and laughed.

"The man was captured by Constable Li with great effort, so we should listen to his ideas on how to deal with him."

Officer Li is young and promising, meticulous in his thinking, and makes decisions with uncanny accuracy. How can we not heed his wise advice?

The reason we were able to find Lord Hong so quickly was because Constable Li deduced that the thief had kidnapped Lord Hong and brought him here.

Otherwise... it's hard to say whether we'll be able to save Lord Hong in time.

Feng Shaoting and Hong Tongpan had never gotten along. Now that Hong Tongpan was out of danger and the court was no longer holding him accountable, Feng Shaoting was more than happy to cause him some trouble.

Seeing the other party humiliated and in a sorry state today, he felt a sense of satisfaction.

Of course, the most important reason is that Feng Shaoting genuinely values ​​Li Fu.

He is highly skilled in martial arts, acts with composure, and has no factional ties. If we can recruit him, he will surely be a great help in the future.

Judge Hong's face flushed red and then turned pale, and his chest felt even more nauseous.

Although he had recovered from the poison, his injuries had not yet healed, and he was weak. He also noticed that the soldiers and yamen runners around him were all staring at him.

Feng Shaoting smiled calmly, as if he would appear narrow-minded and ungrateful if he insisted further.

He gritted his teeth and forced out the words.

"Very well...Very well, since Lord Feng says so, and Constable Li is also inclined to do so...then, then Constable Li shall make the decision!"

Having said that, he refused to linger any longer and, supported by two close attendants, staggered away quickly.

Li Fu immediately ordered his men to put Cao Mufeng in heavy shackles and take him to the government prison.

Cao Mufeng remained silent throughout, his eyes closed, offering no futile resistance.

Congratulations, hero, for capturing the culprit and bringing him to justice.

Reward: Dragon Claw Hand Mastery.

The essence of the Dragon Claw Hand technique flooded into Li Fu's mind like a sudden enlightenment. He instantly mastered the moves and techniques, and each of the thirty-six moves of the Dragon Claw Hand was as refined as if he had practiced for decades.
