Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 329 The Demon Seed in the Dao Heart, The Mystery of Longevity in Changchun Valley
"Boom!"

Ice walls rose up around the Poison God.

Ice walls are not all made of ice. In desolate mountains and wilderness, without water sources, it is nothing short of a fantasy to imagine that a two-foot-thick ice wall could be formed solely from moisture in the air.

These ice walls are made primarily of mud, wood chips, and gravel, bound together by frozen water. They are about ten feet high and two feet thick, and are shaped like chimneys with an inner diameter of about fifteen feet.

Even with Li Zhaoting's solid foundation, he was still panting heavily after condensing such a strong ice wall.

The true energy ice wall merged into one, intertwined as one. Li Zhaoting waved his hand and raised his eyebrows, and ice blades and ice arrows would emerge from inside the ice wall, piercing towards the Poison God's joints.

There are too many legends about the God of Poison.

Its lethality surpasses the limits of poisonous insects;

The potential to absorb toxins and grow through blood and energy;

An invulnerable physique;

The counterintuitive killing power of turning into poisonous mist upon contact with fire;
Even if pierced through with a transparent hole and all limbs are broken, the vitality to continue fighting;
Not afraid of group battles, the more group battles there are, the more excited they get;
He enjoys killing; the more he kills, the stronger he becomes.
They were able to slaughter several sects in just two days, create unparalleled life-or-death pressure within an hour, and unite sects that had been fighting each other for generations with endless hatred for their descendants to fight together against a common enemy.

Some of them are just rumors circulating in the streets.

Some have real battle records.

Li Zhaoting was very suspicious of one of them.

--vitality!

Even if the Poison God isn't human but an insect, and isn't afraid of being pierced through with a transparent hole, can his head withstand it?
If you cut off his head, can the Poison God survive?
Just like those auxiliary techniques for shifting acupoints, they can shift fatal acupoints, change the position of the heart, and move the internal organs up and down when the body is pierced, exposing the gaps where the weapon has pierced, so as to avoid injuring the internal organs.

Can you dodge to the head or throat?

Some people use this method to deal with Yan Shuangying, faking their death to escape. The next time they meet, Yan Shuangying will stab the other person in the head with a knife, and then try to move their brain!

The same principle applies to the Poison God.

The human torso has a large surface area and many vital points, making it the most common target for attacks. When the Iron Blood Banner Sect fought against the Poison God, they used swords to pierce the Poison God's torso.

The Poison God's body was completely corrupted by the deadly poison. Even with his internal organs shattered, he could still maintain his life with the poisonous essence.

What if you cut off their heads?

Can someone survive after having their head cut off?

What if you cut off the limbs?

Without limbs, would he still be able to fight?

With the help of Xiao Feng and Duan Yu, Li Zhaoting used the Frost Cage to control the Poison God. He flicked his fingers repeatedly, and swords shot out from inside the Frost Cage, piercing the Poison God's body.

The Poison God gushed out bluish-green blood, which rapidly corroded the icy cage. The Hundred Poisons Yuan Gang spread rapidly like a shattered balloon, corroding the ice wall. Poisonous claws flew, scratching at the ice cage, causing cracks to appear in the ice cage.

The power of the Poison God is terrifying!
Li Zhaoting spread his hands out, condensing his energy into soldiers.

Buddhist sword, Taoist sword, Confucian sword, bamboo sword!
Flying sword, qi sword, drunken sword, self-made sword!

Eight swords fly together!

The icy sword energy surged forth like an icefall, or like a glacier collapsing, leaving icicles scattered over an area of ​​several feet.

Xiao Feng used all his strength to dig out an enormous boulder from the barren mountain and smashed it hard against the Poison God.

The mountain has no shortage of stones.

However, only a powerful Arhat like Xiao Feng, who possesses invincible divine strength, could use a boulder weighing tens of thousands of pounds as a weapon. As the sword and the boulder fell simultaneously, a deafening roar was heard. The Poison God was first frozen by the sword energy, and then he was smashed into pieces.

The killing of the Poison God was traceable.

The challenge lies in preventing the spread of toxins.

The Golden Silkworm Gu has devoured a Yuan Worm and is currently in a dormant state. Even if it were not dormant, how much flesh and blood could a silkworm the length of a little finger devour?
Just as Li Zhaoting was pondering a solution, Lao Jiu arrived carrying buckets of water. It turned out that Cheng Huaixiu had heard that the Frost Palm was needed to deal with the Poison God, and guessed that Li Zhaoting needed water, so he had someone fetch several buckets of water and had Lao Jiu bring them over.

Li Zhaoting reached out and grabbed, as if capturing a dragon and controlling a crane, causing the bucket to explode with a bang, and the water flowed into the ice prison.

Several fine horses followed closely behind the old wine, each carrying four buckets of water. Xiao Feng tossed the buckets over, and Li Zhaoting condensed the water into ice. In less than a quarter of an hour, a huge ice ball, ten feet high, formed where the Poison God was.

The hockey puck made a cracking sound.

Despite suffering so many heavy blows, the Poison God still possesses vitality, radiating poisonous energy that corrodes the ice.

Li Zhaoting had water delivered, bucket after bucket of water poured onto the ice puck to continuously reinforce it. The yin and yang within his body transformed and generated endlessly, allowing his true energy to sustain him for an entire day.

Unbeknownst to them, Li Zhaoting and the Poison God were locked in a battle of wits, using their cold energy to combat the poison's essence. To prevent its spread, the area of ​​ice they froze was growing larger and larger.

A wide, icy platform, more than two feet high, was formed on the ground, supporting a giant ice sphere. Inside the ice sphere was the Poison God. No one could have imagined that Li Zhaoting would use such a bizarre method to restrict the Poison God's actions.

Even if the Poison God possessed a thousand or more deadly techniques, he couldn't unleash a single move while frozen inside the ice ball.

There was no air, no food, no poison, no blood energy inside the ice ball, so it could not replenish its energy. The Poison God struggled for three hours, and the inside of the ice ball was full of colorful patterns, but it could not break free from the seal. Li Zhaoting kept having people water it and reinforce it with his icy true energy.

After more than three hours of struggle, the Poison God's poisonous essence was depleted by 80-90%, and his vitality was reduced to the lowest level, forcing him to fall into a deep sleep, somewhat like "hibernation."

Seeing this, Li Zhaoting breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I exhausted this guy.

Xiao Feng had already deactivated his transformation. He had previously clashed head-on with the Poison God and was covered in deadly poison. Before deactivating his transformation, he washed himself several times with wine to make sure there was no more poison on his body. Only then did he deactivate his transformation. Immediately afterward, he felt an indescribable fatigue and almost fainted.

He exchanged blows with Qu Xianzhou, exchanging injuries for injuries, and clashed head-on with Bai Du Yuan Gang. His power was severely depleted. Fortunately, Xiao Feng had a celestial body, and his true energy was honed bit by bit, so his foundation was solid and he became stronger with each battle. If his foundation had been slightly weak or his fighting will had been slightly wavering, he would have been broken and transformed into a lump of blood long ago.

A master of poisons is the most difficult to deal with.

It's not a question of whether we can win or not.

The real issue was how to avoid poisoning during the battle and how to finish the fight after winning. Li Zhaoting used his true energy to compress the ice ball, crushing the Poison God's body. He then chiseled a small hole at the top and threw in oil, burning it with flames while using ice to block the smoke.

The principle is similar to that of the igloos in Antarctica.

It took a full three days to completely incinerate the flesh and blood of the Poison God. The Golden Silkworm Gu awoke and, after confirming that there were no remnants, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone in Dali breathed a sigh of relief.

The enthronement ceremony concluded successfully.

Duan Zhengchun became the emperor of Dali.

Duan Yu became the crown prince.

Xiao Feng became the prince consort of Dali.

Li Zhaoting and others were each awarded titles and rewards.

Li Zhaoting rushed to Tianlong Temple and sneaked into the forbidden area behind the mountain. He found that the old monk had not left and the Heavenly Wrath Sword was still there. A question flashed through his mind.

It wasn't for the Heavenly Wrath Sword.

Could it really be a plot to usurp the throne?

The method was far too crude.

According to the prisoners' confessions, the fake Duan Yanqing was not a descendant of the Dali Duan family, but rather a descendant of Yang Yizhen. More than twenty years ago, Yang Yizhen launched a rebellion and became the emperor of Dali, and Duan Yanqing was seriously wounded and fled.

Six months later, Gao Shengtai led his army to quell the rebellion and enthroned Duan Shouhui as emperor. A year later, Duan Shouhui was forced to become a monk at Tianlong Temple, and Duan Zhengming became emperor.

The way the Duan family of Dali behaves is quite similar to that of the martial arts families in the Central Plains, and there is a reason for this. There are too many powerful ministers in Dali, and the power dynamics are complex. The Duan royal family does not have the ability to control Dali and is constrained in many ways. They can only protect themselves by using the One-Finger Divine Skill.

The Gao family was worried that Tianlong Temple would fight to the death, so they dared not push too hard. The Duan imperial family had no control, so they simply lay down and relied on this strategy to continue for more than ten generations, enjoying wealth and honor to the fullest. Most of the emperors lived very long lives, some even living to their nineties.

After Yang Yizhen's rebellion succeeded, he found the Duan family sword techniques and the One-Finger Divine Skill manual in the imperial study of the Duan family and passed them on to his descendants. Later, Yang Yizhen was defeated and killed, and only one son escaped. This person was the fake Duan Yanqing.

In other words, he really wanted to be emperor!
Li Zhaoting was completely dumbfounded when he saw the case file!
Are you kidding me!

Is this some kind of tactic used for rebellion and insurrection?

The Azure Dragon Society is insane. They helped such fools and idiots seize power, sacrificing so many experts for nothing, and were even betrayed by their allies.

Has the big boss been kicked in the head by a donkey?

The bustling crowds are all driven by profit.

What benefits would this bring to the Azure Dragon Society?
To be honest, this is not good for the Green Dragon Society. The leader helped the fake Duan Yanqing purely out of voluntariness, taking the initiative to contact the Wen family and the Tang Clan, and never asked for any reward. It seems very abnormal!

From a purely profit-driven perspective, this is utter nonsense.

However, interests are not only material interests, but also psychological needs. The big boss helps for free because he wants to feel good. Of course, don't get the wrong idea. The big boss is a typical straight man. No one knows the reason except for the big boss himself, until the big boss takes off his mask.

……

The Dali branch of the Green Dragon Society.

The leader of the Azure Dragon Society removed his Azure Dragon mask, revealing a face that looked to be in his thirties or forties, with white hair growing at his temples and wrinkles around his eyes.

With the martial arts skills of the Great Dragon Head, even if he doesn't stay young forever, he shouldn't have white hair at this age, a result of a lifetime of hard work. The Great Dragon Head sighed and looked at his tired face in the bronze mirror. He felt exhausted all over and a sense of weariness welled up in his heart.

So tiring!
The exhaustion makes you question yourself.

Why am I so tired?

With my martial arts skills, wealth, and family background, I should be either a carefree playboy living a life of luxury or a renowned hero with many followers!

I should have a beautiful wife and concubines, and both sons and daughters.

How did I end up in this state?
After asking himself several questions in succession, the leader put down the bronze mirror, put on the Azure Dragon mask, and reverted to his arrogant and domineering form as the leader of the Azure Dragon Society. He reached into his robes and pulled out a bronze box, which was only the size of a palm. The box had a bronze shell on the outside and a lead plate on the inside. When he opened the box, he found a pale yellow crystal inside.

This type of crystal is extremely rare.

There are only a few words recorded.

Every time it appears, it sparks countless battles.

More than a thousand years ago, the two sects and six paths of the Demonic Path gave this crystal a name: Evil Emperor's Relic!

The Evil Emperor's Relic can contain essence and blood, allowing power to be passed down through generations. If enough essence is stored, it can break the limit of lifespan.

The only master in history to break the lifespan limit, the Demonic Emperor Xiang Yutian, extended his lifespan by using the essence stored in the Evil Emperor Relic, living to over three hundred years old. Only when he realized that the effects of the essence were gradually dissipating and his body was at risk of disintegration did he break through the void.

Unfortunately, the Evil Emperor Relic passed down by the Demonic Sect was completely destroyed during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This Evil Emperor Relic was found by the Great Dragon Head in Changchun Valley. The core of the jade mine in Wuliang Valley is not the jade statue, but the Jade Exquisite Treasure passed down by the Free and Unfettered Sect. In Changchun Valley, Dali, there is a mine and a relic at the bottom of each valley.

Most of these relics were unearthed by people.

The only relic remaining in the valley that Ling Luoshi conquered was that Ling Luoshi was a decoy, a tool to deceive everyone. The Great Dragon Head deliberately sent Ling Luoshi, knowing that he would surely indiscriminately kill innocent people.

Then, given Li Zhaoting's personality, if he discovers that Ling Luoshi is indiscriminately killing innocent people, he will definitely kill Ling Luoshi and try to help the people of the valley. However, he doesn't want the people of the valley to feel indebted, so he will most likely just give them some salted meat as a reward without thoroughly inspecting the valley.

It must be said that the psychological analysis masters of the Green Dragon Society are well worth their salaries, as their analyses are extremely accurate.

There was one thing that was unusual.

According to martial arts history, the Evil Emperor's Relic requires active infusion of vital energy, but the Evil Emperor's Relic obtained by the Great Dragon Head can automatically absorb scattered vital energy.

During the fierce battle in Dali Royal City, the Great Dragon Head hid in the shadows and opened the lid. The Evil Emperor Relic absorbed all the lifeblood of the Water Moon Sect and Quxian Continent. Naturally, it nourished the Great Dragon Head. After absorbing the lifeblood, the Evil Emperor Relic turned from yellow to red. After the lifeblood was exhausted, the Evil Emperor Relic returned to yellow and looked like a gemstone.

No matter how you look at it, there's nothing unusual about it. The blood and qi that are fed back contain a tremendous vitality. When Da Longtou was young, he was greedy for ultimate martial arts techniques, which left many hidden injuries in his body. The blood and qi fed back by the Evil Emperor's Relic can actually repair these hidden injuries, strengthen his muscles, bones and blood vessels, and transform his body into its best state.

Even the most powerful methods of absorbing energy, replenishing essence, and empowerment in the world are no match for this relic of the Evil Emperor.

Is this really the relic of the Evil Emperor?

It is said to be an evil practice.

The blood and qi that are replenished are of the purest and finest quality, upright and full of vitality, without the slightest pitfall.

It is said to be the righteous path.

It requires blood and energy, and slaughter from beginning to end. It can only unleash its strongest power when it kills until rivers of blood flow and mountains of bones are piled up. It is a true killing machine.

"This achievement is my good fortune!"

"A demon has been planted in my Dao heart! A demon has been planted in my Dao heart!"

The dragon head raised its hands, looking like a demon.

If the "Demon Master" Pang Ban saw the Great Dragon Head in its current state, he would surely be extremely interested.

The master cultivator's main cultivation method was actually a demonic seed planted in his heart.

The most authentic and perfect way to cultivate the Daoist mind and nurture demons.

During the transmission of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique, most of the incantations were lost. Pang Ban's Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique only had the Jade Seed Technique, and only one of the thirteen layers of the technique remained, which he needed to complete himself. The Great Dragon Head's technique was complete, and one could progress step by step in order to reach the realm of demon immortals.

Judging from the imposing aura of the Great Dragon Head, he had at least cultivated the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique to the eleventh level, making him more stable than Pang Ban on the path of Dao Heart Demon Seed.

The method of cultivating demonic power in the Dao heart is a way to seek life amidst death. When you reach the seventh or eighth level, every step is like walking a tightrope over a cliff. The great dragon head is lucky because the mental method is complete and every incantation has been annotated by predecessors, making the path more stable.

Pang Ban only possessed the "Jade Planting Skill," without any ancient texts for reference, relying solely on his own enlightenment.

The head of the dragon is a martial arts practitioner.

Pang Ban is risking his life.

Not crazy, not live.

He was willing to take a desperate gamble, all for the ultimate goal of martial arts.

……

"boom!"

The teacup fell to the ground.

A burly man in his forties, arrogant and domineering, looked down on his subordinates and tore the intelligence report to shreds with a wave of his hand.

"Li Zhaoting, how dare you ruin my important plans!"

"I will absolutely not let you go!"
