Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 326 A Chaotic Dance of Demons, Arriving in droves

Identity can be faked.

Names can be faked.

The One-Finger Divine Skill must never be faked.

The third-grade realm, characterized by its gentle and refined nature, is extremely rare even in Tianlong Temple. Duan Zhengchun, however, neglected his martial arts due to his womanizing ways, and only reached the fifth-grade realm.

One Finger Divine Skill is not the Cihang Sword Manual, and the difference in cultivation level is not as insurmountable as an insurmountable chasm. However, every three levels constitute a major realm, and reaching the upper three ranks brings a transformative improvement.

In the duel, Duan Zhengchun was no match for him.

However, the current situation is not a contest of martial arts!
Duan Zhengchun donned the crown, the ceremony was complete, and he was recognized as the emperor by the civil and military officials of Dali and Tianlong Temple. Even if Duan Siping were reborn, he could not change the fact.

Whether it's the real Duan Yanqing or the fake Duan Yanqing, from this moment on, they are all traitors and rebels.

Xiao Feng blocked the middle-aged man's finger strike with a wave of his hand.

"If you are from the Duan family of Dali, today is a royal celebration. Please do not disturb the proceedings. If you intend to cause trouble, please go to Tianlong Temple to meditate for ten years."

"Xiao Feng, this is an internal dispute within the Duan family. What right do you have to get involved? Duan Zhengchun, does our Dali royal family need an outsider to interfere in our internal struggles?"

"First of all, this is not a struggle for the throne, but the capture of a treacherous minister. A wicked villain like you deserves to be killed by everyone. Everyone present can take action."

Secondly, Xiao Feng and my son are sworn brothers, and he is also my son-in-law. Since ancient times, a son-in-law is considered half a son, and I have the right to intervene both morally and logically. You don't need to bark so wildly; you'll have your chance to speak at Tianlong Temple!

Duan Zhengchun looked at the middle-aged man with disdain.

With such a small number of people, they dare to attempt to usurp power.

You think the Duan family of Dali is made of paper?!
Three fires for the new official to take office!
It's perfect to use you traitors to demonstrate our power.

"Guards, seize the traitor for me!"

Duan Zhengchun waved his hand in acknowledgment.

Seventy-two monks drew their swords simultaneously.

Zen Master Kurong held prayer beads in his hands and chanted Buddhist mantras.

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore!"

Turn around! Turn your mother's head back!

The middle-aged man roared to the sky, "Do you think you've already won? Do you think I have no trump cards? Since you regard me as a traitor, I won't be polite! All the civil and military officials of Dali, go to hell!"

Yellowish-green toxic smoke drifted into the air.

Widespread, all-encompassing slaughter.

The surrounding people covered their mouths and noses and fell to the ground.

Li Zhaoting flicked his sword, and the green rope was drawn from its sheath.

Regardless of whether this person is real or fake, regardless of his identity, from the moment he released the poisonous smoke and began to slaughter the innocent without restraint, this guy has been nothing but a bloody mist!
Should I become a monk at Tenryu-ji Temple?

Stop dreaming!

You don't even deserve a whole corpse!
One blade severes the throat; a hundred-step flying sword!
The Azure Sword flashed with a cold, azure light, aiming for the middle-aged man's chest. The man's eyes widened, a look of terror flashing in them. Just then, a terrifying aura, like a volcanic eruption, rose from behind him, and a samurai sword was placed in front of him, blocking the Azure Sword's edge.

"Whoosh!"

The Green Chain Sword returned to Li Zhaoting's hands.

"May I ask your esteemed name?"

"The Water Moon Sect Master!"

The Japanese samurai responded in broken Chinese.

Li Zhaoting narrowed his eyes slightly.

Shuiyue Dazong, a grandmaster of swordsmanship, ranks eighth among the top ten swordsmanship masters in Japan. His ranking may seem insignificant, but in reality, those who make the list are all monsters.

For example: Miyamoto Musashi, Hattori Hanzo, Sasaki Kojiro, Yagyu Ittsuken, Yagyu the God of Slaughter.

Even the current head of the Yagyu family, the number one samurai family in Japan, Yagyu Munenori (Yagyu Tajima-no-kami), is not qualified to enter the list. The competition for the list is too fierce. According to the characteristics of Japanese martial arts, the only way to replace the predecessor is to fight to the death and kill the opponent with a sword.

Shuiyue Dazong was only in his forties when he was able to reach the Grandmaster ranking, which shows his extraordinary talent.

Li Zhaoting remembered that the Shuiyue Grand Sect and the Tianming Sect were allies with great ambitions. In the original story, Lang Fanyun personally took action to deal with the Shuiyue Grand Sect.

Now that we're here, why rush back?

A high-ranking monk from Tianlong Temple is here to perform a ritual for your soul!

"Master Shuiyue, why aren't you cultivating in seclusion in Dongying? What are you doing in Dali? Have you had enough of life?"

"The Six Meridians Divine Sword Manual!"

"You deserve it!"

"Divine skills and secret techniques are only for the strong!"

"Those who are greedy deserve to die!"

"Stop with your words, Li Zhaoting. I've heard of your name. Hand over the Purple and Green Twin Swords and the Eight Swords Flying Together, and I might spare your life!"

"Have you finished saying your last words?"

The murderous intent in Li Zhaoting's eyes materialized.

A flash of cold light, and the green rope pierced towards the Water Moon Sect.

The reason for not using the Purple Star Soft Sword is not because of fickleness, but because Li Zhaoting's killing intent is too intense. Only the Azure Chain Sword, an extremely fierce and powerful divine sword, can fully reveal Li Zhaoting's state and bring his sword intent to its limit.

Shuiyue Dazong swung his sword in retaliation.

Swords clashed, and the booming sound was incessant.

……

Blue Phoenix used the Golden Silkworm Gu to break the poisonous fog. Before the bluish-green poisonous fog had dissipated, an old figure emerged from the dreamlike smoke, coughing incessantly.

Blue Phoenix recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

Warm and interesting.

The Wen family, a time-honored brand, is a master of the "dead" brand.

He was skilled at concocting strange and potent poisons. He once joined the Five Poisons Sect to secretly learn the art of Gu poison, mastering the mind-controlling Gu poison. Based on this, he concocted poisons that bewitched the mind.

This poison is called "One Branch of Rust." Anyone who is poisoned by it, even a grandmaster who is skilled in both internal and external martial arts, will become Wen Qu's puppet.

"One Branch of Rust" is most terrifying for successfully controlling Su Mengzhen. His unwavering willpower, authentic Buddhist internal energy, and unparalleled martial arts skills, along with his swordsmanship that is even more ruthless than autumn winds and rains, are all like paper in front of him. With just a command, Su Mengzhen will become a human puppet that can be controlled at will!
A single branch is rusted, and there is no cure.

The only solution is suicide.

Smash your own skull with a heavy weapon!
The Wen family, a time-honored brand in Lingnan, is divided into four branches:
Small-scale drug production operations;
The "big-name" drug smuggling operation;
The "Dead" poisoner;
A "living" antidote;
Comparatively speaking, the members of the Big Boss and the Living Boss are more upright, mostly gentlemen, while the Dead Boss are mostly sinister and wicked, mostly demons.

This is related to one's profession.

The doctor was the one who detoxified the body; he was a compassionate healer.

The poisoner was an assassin, cruel and bloodthirsty.

Wen Qu looked at Lan Fenghuang with a cold smile: "Miao Jiang Gu techniques are not omnipotent. The Golden Silkworm Gu is indeed powerful, but my Wen family's One Yuan Worm can temporarily restrain it."

The "One-Yuan Insect" is a peculiar poisonous creature cultivated by combining four types of poisonous insects: those from the south (sweet), the north (salty), the east (spicy), and the west (sour). It resembles neither fish nor insect, nor poison nor insect. The "Northern Salty Insect," also known as the "Angry Fish," is cultivated in boiling water.
West Asian worms, used to save fish, and cultivated in ice cellars;
Spicy worms, mantis fish, cultured in wine jars;
Southern sweetworms, injuring fish, cultured in milk;
It can be used to kill or to save lives. It looks like a fish and is named after a fish, but it can crawl out of water. It is mysterious and unpredictable, like a monster.

The four cardinal directions, the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors, when combined, form a single element, hence the name "One Element Worm". In order to deal with the Golden Silkworm Gu, Wen Qu stole the One Element Worm and crushed it, which was mixed with the bluish-green poisonous mist. The Golden Silkworm Gu absorbed the essence of the One Element Worm and quickly entered a dormant state.

Wen Qu sneered: "Hmph! Blue Phoenix, without the Golden Silkworm Gu to help you, I can kill you in three moves!"

Lan Fenghuang, wielding the Nine-Manifested Divine Dragon Demon-Slaying Sword, said: "Anyone can talk big. If Wen Wan were here today, I would definitely give way. Who do you think you are!"

"I will turn you into a puppet!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

Blue Phoenix swung her hand and unleashed a Blood-Transforming Blade.

……

A middle-aged couple stopped Miss Wang.

"Seven-Section Soft Spear" Gongliang Technique.

Gan Yuyi, the "Soul-Bewitching Demoness".

Both were top experts on the Black List. When Yan Kuangtu was included on the Black List, he was furious and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you stand on equal footing with me?" He then began to hunt down the top experts on the Black List of that generation. They either knelt down and submitted to Yan Kuangtu, were killed by him, or fled to the deep mountains and forests, and their sects were destroyed.

Gongliang Shu and Gan Yuyi were so terrified by Yan Kuangtu that they abandoned their power and fled to Miao territory in a sorry state. They lived in seclusion for more than ten years, and only after confirming that there was no trace of Yan Kuangtu in the martial arts world did they dare to come out and cause trouble.

Miss Wang sneered: "You dare to block my way? If you know what's good for you, get out of my way, or I'll blast you into dumpling filling with one shot!"

Gongliang Shu said disdainfully, "How can young people in the martial arts world be so rude? More than ten years have passed, and each generation is worse than the last. In my time, an arrogant madman like you would probably not have survived more than three years."

Miss Wang sneered, "If all those who practice shooting were cowards like you, afraid of death and as timid as mice, the art of shooting would have been dead long ago! Humph! You old cowards who have lost all courage can't withstand ten of my moves!"

"You ignorant brat, prepare to die!"

Gongliang Shu swung his spear at Miss Wang.

Gan Yuyi wanted to step forward to help, but Jiang Yuyan blocked her way: "Sir, your opponent is me! Two against two is the only fair match, don't you think, senior!"

……

A pretty figure blocked Cheng Huaixiu's path.

She had a shapely figure and an ethereal, otherworldly air. She wore a blue dragon mask, revealing only her eyes.

"It is a family matter of the Duan family, and it is not appropriate for outsiders to interfere. Please ask Chief Cheng to wait a moment so that he can have a private conversation with his sister. If you do not wish to discuss Daoist principles, you may discuss martial arts!"

"Which month's leading month are you?"

"That good-for-nothing Murong Bo is dead. I am the new leader of the October leadership. If I hadn't gone into seclusion to cultivate, would that old good-for-nothing Murong Bo even be worthy of being the leader!"

October Dragon Head stared greedily at Cheng Huaixiu, his eyes flashing with intense possessiveness. His hands trembled uncontrollably. If the situation hadn't been so dire, October Dragon Head would have preferred to soak in a hot spring with Cheng Huaixiu rather than face each other in a life-or-death struggle.

Cheng Huaixiu is a native of Sichuan.

Cheng Huaixiu understood certain special interests far better than ordinary people. The practice of impersonating a phoenix and a dragon was not uncommon in Sichuan. Cheng Huaixiu's charm appealed to both men and women.

"Although I don't really like this saying, the change of the throne involves all the people of the world. For the peace and stability of the people of Dali, I have no choice but to use force against my elder sister."

"I have long heard of Fairy Jingzhai's compassion and mercy. Meeting Chief Cheng today has truly made this trip worthwhile. If you can withstand thirty of my moves, I will leave immediately!"

"Please, elder sister, give me some advice."

Cheng Huaixiu drew his sword and launched an attack.

This is Li Zhaoting's teaching experience for Huaixiu.

The so-called "take my XX moves" is actually a linguistic trap. Never believe the restrictions on moves. This is to put yourself in a weak position and give up the offensive advantage. If you only think about defense, the final result will inevitably be that you will lose the long-term defense and be defeated by the enemy's strong moves.

Previously, during their sparring session at Wuliang Mountain, Wang Yuyan believed in the so-called three-move agreement and used the Great Sumeru Sword Stance for defense. Li Zhaoting seized the opportunity and launched a three-move combo, causing a massive flood to roar in and destroy the Mustard Seed Sumeru in one fell swoop.

A martial arts contest is all about attacking each other!
Only by attacking can we find opportunities to win.

Cheng Huaixiu firmly believed this.

—Li Zhaoting would never harm her!

— Li Zhaoting's experience is more reliable!

The October Dragon Head did not draw his weapon, but only used his bare hands to meet the enemy, exchanging blows with his palms and swords, the force of which surged like a tide.

……

In this attempt to seize power, the other side made thorough preparations, including investigating Duan Zhengchun's accomplices.

Every helper has a corresponding opponent.

Xiao Feng has met his match.

Xiao Feng is a god of war, and so is his opponent.

Qu Xianzhou, the "God of War of Miao Region".

This name is not well-known in the Central Plains, but Qu Xianzhou's achievements are enough to inspire respect.

Qu Xianzhou and Chi Zunxin fought for many years, engaging in eight direct battles, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

Chi Zunxin was adept at using his weapon advantage to win.

Qu Xianzhou's weapons have obvious strengths and weaknesses. He is good at using meteor hammers, which makes it easiest for him to choose weapons that counter him. In other words, in every duel, Chi Zunxin has an absolute advantage in terms of weapons, but he can only fight Qu Xianzhou to a draw. Qu Xianzhou's martial arts are slightly better.

Qu Xianzhou, carrying two meteor hammers, looked at Xiao Feng expressionlessly: "What happens today is beyond the control of the few of you. Quickly leave and escape!"

Xiao Feng shouted angrily, "Usurping power has nothing to do with me. Dynastic changes have happened hundreds of times in history. I don't understand history books or Confucius and Mencius. I only want to ask one question: What does your ambition have to do with the people of Dali? Why do you want to harm innocent people? To think that you can change the dynasty by indiscriminately killing innocent people is wishful thinking!"

“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to trivial matters!”

"What if you were the 'small detail'?"

Xiao Feng swung his palm at Qu Xianzhou: "If you had seen the battle between me and Ling Luoshi, you would know that you could never win against me, Qu Xianzhou, you are a pawn!"

"We'll only know who wins and who loses after the fight!"

Qu Xianzhou suddenly swung his meteor hammer.

Xiao Feng's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was not a secret kept hidden, but this matter was not unsolvable.

According to Zhu Wushi's revelation, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill can only be used five times in a lifetime. The first transformation requires one use, and after familiarizing oneself with the power and speed after transformation, it was used once during the Miao Jiang Conference to kill Ling Luoshi. It was used again, leaving only two uses.

Qu Xianzhou was skilled in using heavy weapons, and his meteor hammer was indestructible when wielded. He was especially adept at breaking armor and was confident that even if Xiao Feng transformed into his Vajra form, he would still have a 40% chance of winning.

……

This conspiracy against the Duan family of Dali was led by the Azure Dragon Society, with the Tang Clan and the Wen family also participating. It was a veritable gathering of experts, with many villains who had been living in seclusion for more than ten years returning to the martial world. The battlefield was a bloodbath.

The Wen family dispatched a top-tier assassin.

The Tang Clan dispatched its nine carefully trained Vajra warriors!

Add to that the assassins from the Azure Dragon Society, notorious bandits, underworld bosses, opportunistic thieves, and experts manipulated by Yizhi Duxiu, and the battlefield becomes increasingly chaotic.

Duan Zhengming commanded the warrior monks to form a battle formation and launch an attack.

The Dali Imperial Guards formed a human wall outside.

The warrior monks of Tianlong Temple arrived one after another. Many elderly monks of the imperial uncle generation, who had lived in seclusion in the back mountains, joined the battle with their swords, and their shouts echoed for dozens of miles.
