Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

After spending a night in Suzhou, Lin Zhu sent Hua Manlou to Jinling.

Hua Manlou has just changed his internal energy cultivation method and is still somewhat unaccustomed to it. He will be in seclusion at Huajiabao in Jinling for a period of time.

Although he joined the Wudang sect, the internal skills he learned were not very profound, not as advanced as the Beiming Divine Skill.

Having now mastered the Northern Darkness Divine Art, I am not far from becoming a Grandmaster.

Besides absorbing people's internal energy, the Beiming Divine Art has another characteristic: when actively activated during cultivation, it can also forcibly retain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body and transform it into Beiming True Essence.

Lin Zhu had also seen it. Although he hadn't practiced it, he planned to use the opportunity of enlightenment at the peak of his life to create his own fundamental method. The various martial arts in the group were for reference.

As the two traveled along a section of the official road leading to Changzhou, they heard the sound of gongs and drums ahead, followed by the appearance of a wedding procession.

The groom, riding a white horse and wearing a red robe, was at the front. He had a joyful expression on his face, and his elegant smile and noble demeanor gave people a feeling of being unapproachable.

Seeing this, Lin Zhu and Hua Manlou made way for them.

However, the couple's appearance was so eye-catching that the groom noticed them.

"Brother Hua, it's you?"

Hua Manlou's ears twitched, and he smiled, "It's Brother Lian! Is today your big day? Congratulations!"

“Brother Hua, how about we have a drink at your wedding? And this gentleman,” he paused, “…”

Lin Zhu roughly knew the man's identity; it should be Lian Chengbi.

So, the woman he married was Shen Bijun, but no one knows what she looked like.

Just as the two were talking, Lin Zhu heard a rustling sound. Before he could warn them, he saw the float behind him break apart, and a sharp shout rang out.

"How dare you, you thief!"

"An ant trying to shake a tree!" A black, asphalt-like substance enveloped the bride in the flower-decorated car and carried her away.

"This is bad!" Lian Chengbi roared. "Leave him here!"

Lin Zhu, however, was one step ahead of him, transforming into a gust of wind and chasing after him.

Two figures, one in black and one in green, pushed Lian Chengbi aside.

Hua Manlou caught up and asked, "What is that?"

"I don't know." Lian Chengbi was unaware of the newcomers' identities. He was very anxious, but he couldn't catch up and could only watch helplessly as the two figures disappeared ahead.

But they did not give up the pursuit.

Behind them, the wedding procession froze in place. The bride and groom were nowhere to be seen. What were they to do?

Lian Chengbi was seething with hatred, but he still calmly asked, "Brother Hua, who is that young master beside you?"

"You mean Brother Lin? He is my close friend and might be able to save your lady," Hua Manlou said, but he was even more worried.

Given Lin Zhu's charm, even if he saves Lian Chengbi's wife, Lian Chengbi's marriage will probably not be able to happen.

Lian Chengbi witnessed Lin Zhu's lightness skill firsthand; it was incredibly fast, far beyond his own capabilities.

He knew that both the black monster and Lin Zhu were far stronger than him.

So he asked, "What level of strength does that young master Lin possess?"

"Grandmaster." Hua Manlou stopped with him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "All we can do now is wait."

The black, asphalt-like monster was carrying a person. Although the monster was powerful, it was burdened with a heavy load, so its speed was ultimately slower than Lin Zhu's.

Lin Zhu slowly approached it.

"Hahaha, what incredible lightness skill! I've never seen anyone like you in the Jiangnan region. Dare to state your name?"

Lin Zhu countered, "Before asking someone else's name, shouldn't you state your own name first?"

"What a handsome imposter! I am the Carefree Marquis." The black, shapeless object wriggled and materialized into a masked man in black robes.

But judging from the exposed skin, this person appears to be a woman.

He grabbed Shen Bijun by the neck with his right hand and said as he ran, "If you chase after her any further, she will be a corpse."

"If I don't pursue her, she'll suffer a fate worse than death in your hands. I might as well give her a quick death."

Lin Zhu's eyes held a hint of determination.

"Haha, what you said is quite right, I appreciate it. How about you do something for me?" Xiaoyao Hou looked at Lin Zhu with a smile on his face.

"Work for you? Who do you think you are!" Lin Zhu sneered.

This was the first time Xiaoyao Hou had ever seen someone so presumptuous towards him. "It seems I have to teach you a lesson and show you the true strength of a top-tier expert."

He struck Shen Bijun's pressure point, then flew towards Lin Zhu, his arms suddenly extending and his palms striking with lightning speed.

Lin Zhu attacked even faster, his hands spinning so that a Tai Chi symbol appeared out of thin air in front of him. After deflecting the opponent's palm strike, he curled his fingers into claws and seized the opponent's wrist.

The carefree marquis's wrist seemed boneless, turning into flowing water, and he was about to break free.

"Trying to leave?" Lin Zhu twisted his wrist, unleashing his boundless true essence, which transformed into a spiral of black and white yin and yang true essence, attempting to sever Xiaoyao Hou's hands.

The carefree Marquis was startled, and suddenly his sleeve was empty.

Lin Zhu grabbed a leather case with both hands; it was already in pieces.

"What a sharp and profound understanding of Tai Chi! Are you a disciple of Yu Lianzhou from Wudang?" Xiaoyao Hou asked subconsciously.

Taking advantage of his struggle, Lin Zhu transformed into the wind beneath his feet and was about to approach Shen Bijun.

The carefree marquis possesses unparalleled strength, and while I can currently manage to hold my own against him, defeating him would be difficult. Saving people is the priority.

Suddenly, a dragon-horn eight-stringed zither appeared in his hand. He plucked the strings with one hand, and his true essence erupted, transforming into eight solid sword beams that shot towards Xiaoyao Hou.

"The Eight Sounds of Heavenly Dragon? This is the Heavenly Demon Harp. Are you Huang Xuemei?"

The carefree marquis was shocked. His body transformed into black water, allowing the sword energy to pass through him, thus making him immune to the damage.

He managed to dodge it, but he also left an opening.

Lin Zhu plucked the string again, and sharp sword energies shot out, forcing Xiaoyao Hou to dodge with all his might.

The power of this sound wave was too strong, unlike what a Grandmaster could unleash, but it was still some distance from the pinnacle.

However, it's only a short distance away. Where did this monster come from? He doesn't look very old.

Lin Zhu flicked his finger again, releasing Shen Bijun's pressure points, and said, "You stand aside."

Shen Bijun stared at Lin Zhu with her beautiful eyes for a long time, then smiled and said gently, "Okay!" A blur of motion flashed past her feet.

Lin Zhu recognized it; it was Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).

How come everyone knows the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique)? He was now 100% certain that Shen Bijun was one of the group members.

But his hands moved quickly; he sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands moving rapidly on the dragon horn eight-stringed lute.

The ambush came from all sides, the sound came suddenly, and the sound waves transformed into weapons that surged towards Xiaoyao Hou like a thousand troops.

Shouts of battle echoed from all directions.

This was the first time Xiaoyao Hou had faced such an opponent, with such a large-scale killing move. It was no use for him to dodge anymore. His flowing body materialized, and his true essence erupted. He waved his palm to block the sonic waves that turned into blades.

"Ding ding ding..."

The sound of the sonic wave shattering into a blade is exactly the same as the sound of a weapon breaking.

While Xiaoyao Hou was resisting, Lin Zhu gripped the eight strings of the zither tightly with both hands, and then pulled hard, unleashing a burst of Wuji True Essence.

Ahead, eight sonic blades, each over ten meters long, coalesced.

Chapter 141 Wu Xingyun: Mind Your Own Business

The giant blade formed from the sound waves was remotely controlled by Lin Zhu and slashed towards Xiaoyao Hou from top to bottom. Like the will of heaven, the blade was determined to cut Xiaoyao Hou into nine pieces.

"Well done!" Xiaoyao Hou laughed heartily, his body suddenly condensing into a ball, turning into a viscous liquid.

Eight giant blades slashed down, truly cutting him into nine pieces.

Then, the nine clumps of viscous liquid condensed into one again and flew south.

Lin Zhu heard his voice, "Very good, I'll remember you!" After flying a long way, he revealed his true form and spat out a mouthful of blood. "What a powerful Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds technique! It actually injured me so badly. When did a Grandmaster become so strong?"

He staggered, clutching his chest, and walked toward the deep mountains.

Shen Bijun slowly walked over. "You are Lin Zhu, right?"

"It's me." Lin Zhu put away his dragon horn eight-stringed zither and nodded. "You are Shen Bijun!"

"Yes, thank you for saving me." Shen Bijun stared at Lin Zhu. "People in the group have always said you're good-looking, and now I completely believe it."

Her heart was pounding.

On one hand, he was captured by the Carefree Marquis, which stirred his emotions.

Having already experienced the hero saving the damsel in distress, she was at her most vulnerable. Then, with the added blow of her beauty, she was practically smitten, if not completely smitten.

If Lin Zhu had a favorability system at this moment, he would have seen that a heart was almost completely filled with pink, and Shen Bijun's favorability towards him was a full 97%.

"What's your group name?" In contrast, Lin Zhu was more curious about Shen Bijun's group name. He looked at the group member list but couldn't guess it.

“Golden Needle Beauty,” Shen Bijun replied.

[Ding! Detected that Shen Bijun has revealed her identity, gaining half a year's worth of cultivation.]

Lian Ni Chang: Huh, why did I reveal my identity?

Zhao Min: Hahaha, could it be that we've run into Lin Zhu?

Zhu Qiqi: Bijun, you're in the group too. Didn't your cousin say you got married? Did something unexpected happen?

Shen Bijun: Yes, sister-in-law, I was kidnapped by a man named Xiaoyao Hou, but was rescued by my brother Lin Zhu.

Zhao Min: No way, we really ran into Lin Zhu?

You Ruo: How come you can even predict the future? @Zhao Min

Zhao Min: Who made so many coincidences happen to him?

At this moment, Zhu Qiqi was a little worried. Would Shen Bijun break off the engagement after seeing Lin Zhu? It also involved a hero saving a beauty, so wouldn't she have to repay him with her body? She looked at Shen Lang, not knowing whether she should say it or not.

Zhu Qiqi: Are you alright? @Shen Bijun

Shen Bijun: No, I'm fine.
