Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 351 The Azure Dragon Head of February Dies!

Chapter 351 The Azure Dragon Head of the December Dragon is Dead!
You can't see stars where the sun is shining.

Xue Yiren's sword light was too pure and too dazzling. No matter how hard Xue Xiaoren tried or how crazy he became, people would always recognize him as Xue Yiren's younger brother.

Is Xue Xiaoren a genius?
of course!
Was Xue Xiaoren diligent in practicing martial arts?

They trained tirelessly through the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, never slacking off. They devoted themselves to sword practice, forgetting to eat and sleep, even hanging their heads from beams and pricking their thighs with awls!

Is Xue Xiaoren a martial arts master?
If Xue Xiaoren had revealed himself not as a foolish madman, but as a normal swordsman, he would have ranked one place higher than Ku Mei on the Heavenly Gang Ranking.

With talent, a privileged family background, and a diligent work ethic, Xue Xiaoren was the epitome of a winner in life. However, he never truly shone because his brother was far too dazzling.

Xue Yiren was more talented, practiced swordsmanship more diligently, and had more good fortune. At a young age, he became famous for his swordsmanship and killed the "Assassin Wuchang" Pei Huan in one move. Pei Huan's blood splattered on Xue Yiren's clothes, and from that day on, Xue Yiren became known as the Blood-Clad Man, and his swift swordsmanship became famous throughout the martial arts world.

Xue Xiaoren was like a top student in a small county town, always ranking first in the county in every exam and successfully gaining admission to Tsinghua or Peking University. Just as he was about to show off to his older brother, Xue Yiren, holding more than a dozen gold medals in the International Mathematical Olympiad, declared that he didn't need to take the college entrance examination at all.

What's even more disheartening is that the older brother, whom they could never catch up with, also failed to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship and inevitably declined.

The young swordsman catches up with Xue Yiren's pace, but Xue Yiren is about to become the young swordsman's stepping stone!
Xue Xiaoren was once jealous of Xue Yiren and deliberately pretended to be crazy. Now, Xue Xiaoren has gone completely mad, even more so than Shi Youming.

Shi Youming is a madman who is immersed in his own world.

Xue Xiaoren is a rational madman. He can think with absolute rationality like a computer, but at the same time he has a crazy and mad madness that breaks through reason. The young martial artist who drove him to this point is... Li Shengnan.

Two years ago, Xue Xiaoren was ordered to deal with the traces left by Huo Xiu. He was relentlessly pursued by Li Shengnan, and his martial arts heart was completely shattered, turning all his rationality into that of a madman.

Adjusting one's mindset is an essential lesson for martial artists.

Practicing martial arts doesn't mean you have to be the best in the world!

There can only be one number one in the world!
Are all other martial artists useless?
Red flowers need green leaves to adorn them.

There's no need to be number one in everything.

Even in one's own profession, one doesn't necessarily have to be number one. There are countless swordsmen in the martial arts world; using Lang Fanyun as a benchmark is just asking for trouble.

In this regard, Tang Zhuquan is the best at adjusting his mindset. When teaming up with Long Chengbi to fight monsters, Tang Zhuquan is the supporting character. When teaming up with Li Zhaoting to fight monsters, Tang Zhuquan is still the supporting character. He doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. Within his own capabilities, he does his job well. What's wrong with being a supporting character? At least he can provide shelter from the wind and rain!
This isn't just empty talk from someone who's not in the same boat!
Li Zhaoting also played a supporting role.

When competing with Yelü Yancai in talent, Li Zhaoting assisted Feng Suzhen in dealing with the Poison God. He did whatever Lan Fenghuang said, giving Cheng Huaixiu all the opportunities to show off in front of the people of Dali.

The Fairy of Quiet Abode is most suited to display her divine power in public.

With Xue Xiaoren's talent and perseverance, if he can adjust his mindset in time and be willing to play a supporting role, the Xue family's two Heavenly Generals will surely become a legendary tale in the martial arts world.

Unfortunately, Xue Xiaoren's mind was even more twisted than Shi Youming's and Ding Xie's. His brain was half-mad and half-sane, and he would misinterpret anyone who tried to reason with him.

Reasoning with them won't work.

Explaining physics is the only way to go!
……

Chu Liuxiang was very quick at investigating cases. He used the Beggars' Sect disciples to gather information and soon found a delicate and elegant little wooden house. The house was located in the forest, and the surroundings were quiet, making it a perfect place for a rendezvous.

This woodland belongs to the Xue family.

According to the pockmarked little beggar, a handsome young man often met with a bright and beautiful young woman here in secret, and he was very generous with his tips.

The beggar could not remember anything else, but he remembered clearly where he could get a full meal, which rich man was generous, and what kind of words the rich man liked to hear.

Chu Liuxiang discovered the young master's identity.

Xue Yiren's son, Xue Bin.

She was engaged to Shi Yin from Shijiazhuang.

Then, Shi Yin fell seriously ill, Zuo Mingzhu fell seriously ill, Zuo Mingzhu's illness became terminal, Shi Yin died, Li Zhaoting used the One-Finger Divine Skill to treat Zuo Mingzhu, but unexpectedly Shi Yin's soul possessed his body and returned to life, and the two girls exchanged identities.

Chu Liuxiang vaguely sensed the truth.

Just as he was about to investigate further, a dark figure blocked his way; it was Yidianhong.

The two knew each other and had fought before. Yidianhong unleashed 144 sword strikes in a row, but Chu Liuxiang dodged and weaved in the inn's small house without managing to damage even a single piece of his clothing.

The best place to dodge using light footwork is an open space.

The inn rooms are small and not suitable for dodging.

Despite being at a complete disadvantage in terms of terrain, Chu Liuxiang was able to easily outmaneuver Yidianhong using his lightness skill. This was an open forest, the perfect place to use his lightness skill.

Even if Xue Yiren were to strike Chu Liuxiang with his sword, Chu Liuxiang was confident he could dodge it. However, whether he could seize the opportunity to turn the tide of battle was something Chu Liuxiang dared not easily judge.

"Brother Hong, this is a jungle. No one can kill me here, not even the Four Great Constables!"

"I am ordered to kill you!"

"Whose order?"

"I will tell you before you die."

"What if I don't die?"

"Unless... you kill me!"

In other words, you will cling to me like a leech, keeping me firmly bound to this place.

Why are you stopping me?
Because someone wants to kill Li Zhaoting!
Who resents Li Zhaoting the most?
Of course, it's the Azure Dragon Society!

Brother Hong, I really didn't expect you to join the Azure Dragon Society. Given your temperament, it's impossible for you to join the Azure Dragon Society on your own initiative. This means that the assassin organization behind you has joined the Azure Dragon Society. Am I right?

Even so, you can betray the Azure Dragon Society.

You didn't do that, of course you're not afraid of death, and you're not a greedy person. Your reason for staying in the Azure Dragon Society is loyalty and because of your master!

Your master is an assassin from the Azure Dragon Society.

wrong!

Your master is the leader of December!

Chu Liuxiang's rambling reasoning and analysis.

Yidianhong did not draw her sword.

Yidianhong's task is to stall for time.

Fighting with a drawn sword is a way to buy time.

Chatting and debating are also ways to stall for time.

Using force is the worst option.

Because Chu Liuxiang's lightness skill is too superb, once the two engage in combat, Chu Liuxiang can escape in a flash.

However, as long as Yidianhong doesn't draw her sword, the sword energy remains unleashed, making this attack a perpetual threat. No matter how Chu Liuxiang runs, he will suffer a sword strike.

A thrusting sword will lose its deterrent power.

A sword that is drawn but not yet unleashed is the most terrifying.

Especially the red sword.

No one knows how dazzling the sword light will be when a killer, who has been preparing for a long time, unleashes a fatal strike.

Chu Liuxiang and Yidianhong faced off directly.

As the autumn wind swept by, cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.

……

Songjiang Ferry Crossing.

It's absolutely impossible to expect Li Zhaoting to just stay home and rest, sleeping soundly in his room.

Li Zhaoting is learning how to cast a net to catch fish.

Li Zhaoting planned to catch a few Songjiang four-gill perch and have Master Zuo prepare several plates of perch sashimi. He wanted to catch the fish himself, cook it fresh, and eat it on the spot to truly appreciate its sweetness.

fishing……

Li Zhaoting has no interest in fishing lately.

I didn't bring a fishing rod.

Without Lu Xiaofeng's help to dig for earthworms.

Wang Shenglan poled the small fishing boat, which slowly drifted to the center of the river, while Li Zhaoting casually cast out a large net.

Li Zhaoting is fishing!

Fishing for the big fish from the Green Dragon Society!
Li Zhaoting himself is the most delicious bait!
Anyone with common sense would know this was a trap, but there was no better opportunity for assassination. Chu Liuxiang was blocked in the woods by Yidianhong, and Li Zhaoting's helpers had not yet arrived. He was only accompanied by Wang Shenglan. Wang Shenglan was a bodyguard, and protecting people was a family skill. However, the Overlord Spear was good at offense but not defense, and it was easy for someone to find a weakness.

"laugh!"

A long, thin, serpentine sword shot up from under the ship's deck, aiming for Li Zhaoting's calf. Wang Shenglan kicked it out, bending the sword, and then stomped down hard, stomping through the ship's deck and striking the assassin's vital point on the top of his head, shattering his brain.

Li Zhaoting was completely dumbfounded: "Sheng Lan! You've ruined the boat! How are we going to get out of here?" "Let's kill the assassin first!"

Wang Shenglan forcefully snapped the bamboo pole in half, shattering it into dozens of pieces that flew towards the river. The Overlord Spear hidden within the bamboo pole revealed its sharpness, stirring the water's surface, causing turbulent waves and surging undercurrents.

Wang Shenglan was from the Northwest and was not good at naval warfare. He could only use the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to cross the water, running back and forth on the surface of the water, stirring it with his Overlord Spear.

The Northern Darkness True Qi transformed into Yin attribute and scattered Life and Death Talismans haphazardly across the water's surface without any method. Hitting the target was considered lucky, while missing resulted in little loss.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Seven or eight figures emerged from the water, swords drawn, and charged toward Wang Shenglan. Their swords moved with incredible speed, filling half the sky with sword light, and a chilling killing intent enveloped the surroundings.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Iron chains flew over, and several assassins fired harpoons, their tips poisoned and their backs wrapped with thick ropes, which they used to launch and retrieve javelins.

"Good riddance! Die, all of you!"

Wang Shenglan charged at the assassin with her gun, her feet stomping rapidly through the water, splashing water more than ten feet high. Her Overlord Spear swept across the water with tremendous force, creating violent waves on the surface.

Li Zhaoting lay on the wooden plank, drifting with the current, his life like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

It's not easy to hold back Wang Shenglan.

The Overlord Spear was too domineering in its destructive power, and coupled with the all-pervasive Life and Death Talisman, seven or eight of Xue Xiaoren's carefully trained assassins fell in an instant.

"laugh!"

A flash of sword light pierced towards Li Zhaoting.

This sword strike was swift, ruthless, accurate, and deadly!

From any perspective, it is a top-notch assassin's sword technique. Compared to the Five Steps One Kill technique, it is slightly less powerful, but it does not require charging up and risking one's life. It can be used casually and at will.

The sword's edge churned up layers of water, and the Azure Dragon Mask reflected the splashes, resembling a Azure Dragon stirring up the sea, capable of overturning rivers and seas. Xue Xiaoren frowned and glared angrily; he had used all his strength in this sword strike and was certain he could kill Li Zhaoting!

kill!

They must be killed without mercy!

The sword flashed and pierced Li Zhaoting's back.

In his haste, Li Zhaoting formed a sword shape with his fingers and used a move called "Su Qin Carrying the Sword on His Back." This move was a mess, completely unlike any sword technique, and even more chaotic than a dog crawling.

A smile flashed in Xue Xiaoren's eyes.

The smile lasted for half a second.

Half a second later, the sword energy was only three inches away from Li Zhaoting's back. Li Zhaoting gently pinched the sword energy with his index and middle fingers, and the sword energy dissipated with a bang, and the sword could no longer penetrate.

Telepathic communication.

We are in perfect harmony!
It can neither be pierced nor pulled out.

Li Zhaoting formed a sword shape with his left hand, and the divine light of the Buddha shot towards Xue Xiaoren. Xue Xiaoren hurriedly released the sword and ran towards the water. However, this sword was a soft force that could travel through the water and scatter outwards with the current.

The flowing water was like a prison, trapping Xue Xiaoren.

"Li Zhaoting, you're not hurt!"

"I was injured, but I've recovered!"

"You'll need a month."

"You may have misheard me. What I told Xue Yiren was within a month, thirty days is within a month, half a month is within a month, and one day is the same."

I wasn't lying!
You've misunderstood!

December's leading dragon, I've been waiting for you for so long!

Does the Green Dragon Society only have a branch in December?
Why is it only you who came?

Li Zhaoting was slightly disappointed.

Xue Xiaoren couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.

Li Zhaoting only gave him three days. The Qinglong Society's influence was spread throughout various prefectures and counties. Even if a message was sent by carrier pigeon to get other leaders to come, it would still take three or four days.

By then, Feng Suzhen had already arrived.

The only one capable of taking action was Xue Xiaoren.

Coincidentally, Xue Xiaoren's men were all assassins.

These people are best suited for assassination missions.

That's what the big boss thinks.

Xue Xiaoren thought the same thing.

They believed that Li Zhaoting was doomed.

Li Zhaoting had absolutely no hope of turning the tide.

Unless... Li Zhaoting wasn't injured!
Vase Seal!
The body is like a precious vase, united with Brahman and Atman, without defilement or impurity!
When Li Zhaoting was "treating" Zuo Mingzhu earlier, he used the Treasure Bottle Seal to contain his true energy, making him appear dizzy and unsteady on his feet, which fooled everyone.

"You...you can't...it's impossible!"

Xue Xiaoren's face was filled with horror!
Zuo Mingzhu and Shi Yin's illnesses...

The wear and tear on the body from using One-Finger Divine Skill to treat injuries and illnesses...

Li Zhaoting's steps were unsteady, and his face was deathly pale...

These are questions you should ask Yama, the King of Hell!
Extremely shocked, Xue Xiaoren was completely overwhelmed by Li Zhaoting's momentum and had no power to fight back.

"brush!"

Li Zhaoting grabbed Xue Xiaoren by the neck.

"Don't take off my mask..."

"For your brother's sake, I'll leave you a whole corpse. You can try to be resurrected!"

"thanks, thanks……"

The light in Xue Xiaoren's eyes quickly went out.

Li Zhaoting crushed his neck, and his true energy flowed into his body through his neck, shattering his internal organs.

On the outside, everything looks normal, but in reality, the internal organs are shattered like dumpling filling, and there's a huge lump inside the cavity.

Li Zhaoting stretched and loosened his muscles, when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw Wang Shenglan gritting her teeth and staring at him fiercely. Her Overlord Spear was whistling, and her aura was like a volcano.

"Madam...please listen to me..."

"Is faking illness fun?!"

"I……"

Is it fun to deceive me?

"This one……"

"Watch me turn you into a real wound!"

"Madam, spare my life! I'm willing to make amends!"

"How to compensate?"

"I'll draw you thirty pictures!"

"anything else?"

"You killed the leader of December."

"not enough!"
