Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 277 The direct descendant of Medicine King Valley...love-obsessed!

One man fighting desperately can defeat a hundred!

Even if a martial arts master is more skilled than his opponent, he will be hampered in a fight where he is willing to risk everything, along with a whole ship full of gunpowder.

No matter how ingenious the moves or how powerful the charged attacks, they will have no effect on someone who is determined to die.

The only way to break this tactic is to rely on...

Li Zhaoting charged at He Yu with his sword. After only three moves of the Purple Rose Soft Sword and the Jade Flute, He Yu knew he was no match for Li Zhaoting and reached for the candlestick.

Li Zhaoting twisted his wrist, causing the sword to spin back. The Jade Flute and the Purple Rose Soft Sword flew into the air simultaneously. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Zhaoting unleashed a palm strike. With a gentle wave of his left hand, he extinguished the candlestick with the power of the White Rainbow Palm, while his right hand met He Yu's palm strike.

It's not a contest of palm strength, but the most dangerous and unpredictable contest of skill in the martial arts world. There are no fancy tricks, only the clash of true energy, using foundation to wear down foundation.

"Snapped!"

The two palms slammed together.

He Yu originally wanted to use his internal injuries to retreat, but he found that Li Zhaoting's palm force was unpredictable, like a surging Yangtze River. If He Yu dared to run, he would be immediately overwhelmed by the true energy, and all the meridians in his body would be broken.

"Boy, you've got guts. This is the headquarters of the Sea Demon Cult. If I give the word, countless subordinates will rush over and tear you to pieces!"

He Yu possesses profound and refined skills, enabling him to speak and cast mind-controlling illusions during skill contests.

Li Zhaoting sneered: "Subordinates? You're the only one on this ship. You dare not let anyone know your secret, otherwise, everyone will betray you!"

"They believe me!"

"They won't come!"

"why?"

"My lover and my best friends will guard outside the sea monster ship and help me block all foreign enemies."

Aren't they afraid you'll lose?

"They believe I can win!"

While speaking, Li Zhaoting continuously unleashed his true energy to attack He Yu. His true energy flowed like a surging river, with yin and yang energies circulating endlessly. His internal strength was inexhaustible, mixed with a fist force that was sometimes hard and sometimes soft, combining both.

Seven Injury Fist.

One practice can cause seven injuries, and all seven will be injured.

If He Yu dares to retreat even half a step, or even just has the thought of retreating, he will be routed and his internal organs will be shattered by the Seven Injury Fist. He will only be able to exchange blows with Li Zhaoting, and his body will be unable to move even half a step until his true energy is exhausted.

"Ugh~~"

Blood trickled from the corner of He Yu's mouth, and his manic eyes quickly dimmed, transforming him from a dashing, melancholic middle-aged man into a decrepit old man.

He Yu knew he had lost.

A complete defeat.

Li Zhaoting formed a hand seal with his left hand, channeling his divine power once more, his inner strength flowing endlessly, severing He Yu's eight extraordinary meridians.

"Pfft~~"

He Yu coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

Do you know why you lost?

Because you're too crazy!
You want to take everyone down with you!

So you won't have any help!

Those experts who are loyal to you and the Sea Demon Cult are your enemies. You must keep it from them, eliminate them, and transfer them away.

I'm different!
I have many helpers!

They helped me stop the Sea Demon Cult disciples.

They created a fair chance for me to fight.

They gave me the indomitable spirit to fight to the death!
If you dare to risk your life, so do I!

Those who act justly will find many supporters, while those who act unjustly will find few.
I won!
You lost!
The truth is that simple!

Li Zhaoting, pale-faced, swayed as he stood up. He pointed a finger at He Yu's heart, the sword light piercing through He Yu's heart. He Yu breathed his last with a bitter smile. Li Zhaoting picked up his body and threw it into the ice coffin beside him.

Demonic heroes often act in extreme ways.

This is true when people are vying for fame and fortune.

This is especially true when one is moved by emotions.

Looking across the world, there is practically no demon more infatuated or insane than He Yu. He Yu truly dares to fight to the death with his enemies, even at the cost of mutual destruction.

What to do with so much gunpowder?
Li Zhaoting rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Handing it over directly to the government is definitely not an option.

It is very likely that it will be secretly sold by corrupt officials.

The Power Gang is very willing to buy it at a high price.

Li Zhaoting pursed his lips.

Taking Miss Wang out was the right thing to do.

Next, I need to act as a bodyguard.

They were escorting gunpowder to the capital.

With He Yu's death, the battle came to an end.

The Sea Demon Cult's high-ranking officials were all wiped out, as were the Butterfly City's high-ranking officials. Medicine King Valley was littered with corpses, and the sacred land where butterflies once fluttered about had become a blood pool hell.

Shi Jiugong held a corpse and wept bitterly.

Pinggu's "corpse".

Covered in blood, dripping with fresh blood, she had clearly suffered agonizing torment before her death. Miss Wang was not good at lying, so she could only repeat Sang Qixing's words verbatim.

Miss Wang assured everyone that she hadn't lied at all; Sang Qixing had indeed said those words, Pinggu was indeed willing to die for Shi Jiugong, and the blood truly came from Sang Qixing. Even if Bao Zheng were to investigate the case and set up a hundred lie detectors, they wouldn't be able to detect any lies.

The truth is the hardest lie to detect.

Shi Jiugong was filled with remorse and beat his chest in frustration.

He resented himself for being too proud and too stubborn.

He resented himself for being too stubborn and heartless. He resented himself for not dying together with them.

He resented himself... why did he study medicine!
If I had diligently practiced martial arts back then, knocked my father-in-law to the ground with one punch, forcibly married Pinggu, and then roamed the world freely with her, how could things have turned out this way?
As an elder of Medicine King Valley, how could Shi Jiugong not distinguish between the living and the dead? However, he was too excited and unable to maintain his rationality. In addition, Ping Gu suppressed her heartbeat by using an iron ball under her armpit. When Shi Jiugong saw the bloodstains, how could he have imagined that Ping Gu was faking her death?

"Ah! I was wrong! I was wrong! I lost! I really admit defeat! Please wake up!"

Shi Jiugong held Pinggu and wept bitterly.

"If someone could bring Pinggu back to life, what would you be willing to give up? Shi Jiugong, tell the truth!"

"I'm willing to give my life!"

Will you always listen to Pinggu?

"Not a single word of disobedience is permitted."

Will you continue to be so stubborn?

"If I keep being stubborn, I'm a bastard!"

Will you keep your promise?

"A promise is a promise, and I will never go back on my word! Hey? Who's speaking here? And who are you?"

Shi Jiugong looked around curiously.

It was Miss Wang who spoke.

It uses the secret technique of transmitting sound and searching souls from the Free and Unfettered Sect.

It is specifically designed to target people with weak wills.

"I am the one who can save Pinggu's life."

Miss Wang smiled and tapped two fingers to release Pinggu's acupoints, and Pinggu quickly woke up.

Shi Jiugong's face turned red.

An eighty-year-old mother accidentally hit her child's hand!
The elders of Medicine King Valley, who had seen countless storms, were actually tricked by a little girl. Shi Jiugong looked at Miss Wang with an unfriendly expression, but didn't know what to say.

In theory, we should express our gratitude.

But it's so damn embarrassing.

Miss Wang curled her nose and said, "This is a tradition of Medicine King Valley. If you have any objections, go cause trouble at the ancestral hall of Medicine King Valley, don't take it out on me!"

"Medicine King Valley has no such tradition!"

Do you remember Yi Tianxing?

"of course I remember!"

"Back then, Bingxin, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, used the method of faking her death to get Yi Tianxing to open up and stop glaring at me! Do you know who my husband is? He is Yi Tianxing's grand-disciple. Don't be fooled by your long beard, you joined Medicine King Valley rather late. You became the Grand Elder because of your medical skills, but your seniority in the sect isn't that high!"

Shi Jiugong joined Medicine King Valley after being looked down upon by Murong Feisou. Medicine King Valley's management has always prioritized the most capable. Shi Jiugong's medical skills were superb, consistently ranking among the top three in Medicine King Valley, which is why he was able to serve as the Grand Elder.

In reality, their generation is lower than their "age".

Shi Jiugong was completely taken aback.

If you want to curse someone, who should you curse?
Feeling increasingly aggrieved, Shi Jiugong raised his hand and slapped himself: "I keep my word! I lost to Pinggu! I utterly admit defeat!"

When Xu Qiaozhi, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, was cleaning up the corpses, he heard that his stubborn and incorrigible Elder Shi Jiugong, who was even more stinky and hard than the rocks in the latrine, had willingly admitted defeat to Pinggu. He couldn't help but feel curious. After inquiring, he learned that it was an ancestral rule of Medicine King Valley. What could Xu Qiaozhi say?
Complaining that the ancestor was love-obsessed?

What an international joke!
If it weren't for the fact that the Patriarch of Medicine King Valley was love-struck, how could Medicine King Valley have obtained the two powerful allies, Zhang Sanfeng and Yi Tianxing? How could it have been able to recuperate and thrive in the chaotic world and reach new heights?
Furthermore, Pinggu is deeply devoted and willing to give up wealth and status to sell pancakes outside Medicine King Valley. Xu Qiaozhi had long wanted to help the two of them get together, but Shi Jiugong was too stubborn and Xu Qiaozhi couldn't think of a way.

Now there is a solution!

That's a brilliant idea!

As expected of our ancestor!

Xu Qiaozhi looked up at Miss Wang, unsure how to address her. He was in his early twenties, and apart from the apprentices who were around ten years old, Xu Qiaozhi was the lowest in seniority.

Addressing someone too formally makes them sound old.

If you address someone too humbly, they might get angry.

After thinking it over, Xu Qiaozhi bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Miss Wang. I am very grateful."

Miss Wang's face was full of pride: "Young man, you're quick-witted! No wonder you're called Xu Qiaozhi! These things are minor. Arrange a hundred swordsmen and fifty more caravans for me. Make sure they're ready as soon as possible."

"Miss Wang, are you thinking of opening a branch?"

"Open my ass! That bastard He Yu wants to drag everyone down to hell. The Sea Demon ship is full of explosives. If it comes into contact with an open flame, we will all die. My husband is keeping watch in the cabin day and night."

"I see, I'll go prepare right away!"

Xu Qiaozhi was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.

No wonder Li Zhaoting isn't here.

It turned out that it was for guarding the gunpowder.

Medicine King Valley has no shortage of money.

Xu Qiaozhi quickly reorganized the elite swordsmen of Butterfly City, selecting more than a hundred reliable ones.

With so much gunpowder piled up in Medicine King Valley, the threat was too great. There was no time for any pleasantries. Li Zhaoting and Miss Wang escorted the caravan to the capital.

Upon receiving the message, officials in the capital quickly prepared warehouses to receive tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder.

There were dedicated warehouses around the capital.

Some were used for researching guns and firearms.

Some are used to make fireworks and firecrackers.

Tang Zhuquan stayed in Yaowang Valley to enjoy the victory celebration banquet.

Since he is the "King of Medicine", he must have medicinal wine.

Tang Zhuquan had long coveted the medicinal wine, but it was too precious to drink freely. Now that he had the chance to enjoy the wine, Tang Zhuquan was determined to drink to his heart's content.

He was drinking and rambling on and on.

When Li Zhaoting arrived in the capital, rumors also spread there: heroes draw their swords, and love is a tender affair!
