Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 362 You're not incapable, you're just not capable!

"Whoosh!"

A figure darted in from outside the wall like an arrow.

With a somersault in mid-air, a flurry of cold light flashed as fifty or sixty hidden weapons rained down through the window.

Guo Dalu had excellent eyesight, but he couldn't see how the person made the move. But that didn't matter. Anyone who fired dozens of hidden weapons in a row would need to guide their qi back to its source.

The centipede god doesn't actually have a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. Of course, he needs to rest and needs two seconds to adjust his breathing. In that instant, Guo Dalu rushed out.

"call!"

A heavy punch was thrown at the centipede god.

Guo Dalu had no other thoughts; he only wanted to protect Yan Qi and Wang Dong. His fists seemed slow, even as slow as snails, but they were unavoidable, and he punched the centipede god in the nose.

"Snapped!"

He punched the centipede god in the stomach.

Centipede God was spitting and his mouth was full of sour water. His whole body was covered in hidden weapons, but he couldn't use them at the moment. Before he could use the force to retreat, Guo Dalu threw another punch.

This time it's the shoulder.

Guo Dalu disliked killing, but he didn't say he couldn't break the enemy's bones. With a crack, Centipede God's shoulders shattered, and he collapsed with a face full of despair.

Before Guo Dalu could even show off, a huge fishing net was cast over him. Guo Dalu tried to roll away from the net, but it quickly expanded, growing to two or three zhang in an instant, covering the entire courtyard.

"Who dares to cause trouble here! Take this!"

Wang Shenglan's eyes were bright with anger, and she hurled a large stone table weighing over 400 pounds at the fishing net. With a "whoosh," the red-banded snake that had been casting the net was propelled by the stone table and tumbled and crashed into the distant wall. Casting the net required skill, so how could the red-banded snake possibly catch a 400-pound stone table?

However, this fishing net was no ordinary fishing net; it was a treasure woven from gold thread mixed with silkworm silk. The stone table had too much inertia, and it pulled the red snake along with it.

Before the red-banded snake could stop, Wang Shenglan threw a stone block, which then cracked and snapped!

The red-banded snake's chest was smashed into a pulp.

His eyes were wide open, his eyeballs bulging, and he died with his eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.

Until it was crushed to death by the stone block, the red snake did not know how it died, and it could not understand how Wang Shenglan could have such strength when she pulled and tugged.

Unbeknownst to the Red Serpent, Wang Shenglan's temperament perfectly aligned with the Free and Unfettered Sect's philosophy. After a year of arduous training, she mastered the martial arts techniques contained in the Jade Linglong. Her two seemingly ordinary throws were actually the culmination of the Free and Unfettered Sect's skills, the same kind of hidden weapon technique used by the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny.

The only difference is that Tianshan Tonglao used pine cones and ice spikes as hidden weapons, while Wang Shenglan used stone blocks.

To someone unfamiliar with the subject, it would just seem like Wang Shenglan was just brazenly charging around with brute force and posing no real threat. But to someone knowledgeable, it would probably terrify them.

The centipede god is an expert.

He could see how formidable Wang Shenglan was, that she was far superior to him, but he had no choice but to take action.

The reason for taking action was... love!
Due to prolonged exposure to toxins, the red-banded snake's body underwent a dramatic transformation. Its skin became smooth and tender, its voice became high-pitched, and its personality became feminine. The centipede god and the red-banded snake had long been in cahoots, using this to ward off the allure of the matchmaker.

The red snake was killed by the stone pillar. The centipede god felt as if his wife had died. He rushed towards Wang Shenglan and threw out hidden weapons without regard for anything else, wanting to fight Wang Shenglan to the death.

"Snapped!"

Wang Shenglan fell off his horse and unleashed a powerful punch.

The cannon hammer is like a spear.

Overlord Spear.

A thousand troops retreated, their momentum unstoppable.

With a loud crash, the centipede god, like a withered leaf in the autumn wind, tumbled and crawled backward, rolling more than a dozen times before crashing into the courtyard wall. The wall could not withstand Wang Shenglan's immense strength and collapsed with a loud bang, burying the centipede god under the bricks and tiles, from which a trickle of blood flowed.

Guo Dalu stammered, "Sister-in-law Li, you're amazing! Your martial arts are so high!"

Wang Shenglan raised her head: "I am born with superhuman strength. I don't know any fancy moves. I just attack hard and fiercely. When I strike, the enemy is shattered into pieces!"

"Why...why is it 'broken'?"

"In the world of martial arts, people are treacherous. Many are good at faking their death to deceive others, and some have malformed hearts. If you hit their vital points, they are not actually vital points."

"What to do?"

"Cut off his head, and he'll definitely die!"

Wang Shenglan yawned as she returned to her room.

Guo Dalu and Yan Qi looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yan Qi was now completely certain that Li Tingkuan and Wen Yuan were Li Zhaoting and Wang Shenglan, not because of Wang Shenglan's brute force, but because of her indifference after the murder.

It's less like killing someone and more like killing a chicken.

It leaves no trace in my heart.

Only a martial artist who has experienced countless life-or-death battles and crawled out of piles of corpses can be so calm.

Guo Dalu patted his chest: "What kind of monsters are Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li? They're terrifying!"

Yan Qi scolded, "You fool! Brother Li admitted it himself yesterday, he is... Li Zhaoting!"

"Isn't that a joke?"

"Is the boxing manual he gave you powerful?"

"superb!"

"Besides Xiao Feng, who else could master the Taizu Long Fist to this level? Besides Li Zhaoting, who else could casually produce Xiao Feng's boxing manual? Do you think it's as easy as cabbage?"

"So this is how powerful I am!"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"Li Zhaoting saw that I was exceptionally talented and righteous, destined to become a renowned hero in the martial arts world. He gave me his sworn brother's boxing manual, hehe! Yan Qi, once I achieve fame and success, I will definitely protect you!"

Guo Dalu is naturally cheerful and never suffers from internal conflicts!
Yan Qi pondered Guo Dalu's words.

Rough words are not rough.

Li Zhaoting wasn't a gift-giver; if he didn't approve of Guo Dalu's character, why would he give away the boxing manual?

The matchmaker and the death warrant were extremely cautious.

In a one-on-one fight, no one could defeat Wang Dong. Now that he has lost two helpers, but Wang Dong has several unidentified experts by his side, they dare not act rashly and can only purchase intelligence and devise new ambush plans.

The plan must be carried out.

Wang Dong must be killed.

When the five of them were traveling the world, they amassed a fortune of jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. This money was secretly hidden by one of the members, and then Wang Dong disappeared.

Naturally, they suspected it was Wang Dong.

The death warrant needs this money for retirement.

The matchmaker needs this money to live life to the fullest.

They must find a way to get the money back.

It's obvious that the two of them can't do it.

Fortunately, they had help.

Blackrock Assassin.

The Black Stone assassin who has killed countless people.

King Yama summoned all the assassins from Black Stone to carry out a joint mission: first, to eliminate the traitor Drizzle; second, to kill the remaining members of the Xiong family and eradicate them completely; third, to hunt down the daughter of the Nangong family; and fourth, to retrieve the remains of Rama.

King Chakravartin disregarded everything for Rama's remains.

Not only did they gather their own forces together, they also hired assassins from the martial arts world at high prices, offering a million-dollar bounty.

Drizzle's head, worth 100,000 taels!
The Xiong family is wiped out, only one surviving member remains, 120,000 taels!

Two pieces of Rama's remains, each worth one million taels!
In addition, there are also rewards such as miraculous elixirs and divine weapons. King Yama has brought out all of the Black Stone's decades of accumulation. Anyone with eyes can see that he is very anxious and impatient, determined to get Rama's remains.

Some suspected that King Chakravartin was seriously ill and, fearing to reveal his identity, dared not seek treatment from a divine physician. They could only place their hopes on Rama's remains, as he was nearing death.

Some suspect that King Rama had a hidden ailment, such as vision problems, hearing problems, kidney problems, or serious damage to some organ, and that Rama's remains were needed to cure him.

There were all sorts of suspicions, but no one dared to say it outright.

As the Lord of Blackrock, King Wheel has devised hundreds of assassination plans and killed hundreds of martial arts masters. Blackrock assassins never fail in their missions—they do not accept missions that are doomed to fail.

Of course, they didn't refuse outright, as that would damage Blackstone's reputation; they offered an extremely high price.

For example: assassinating Li Zhaoting!
The first step was to distribute the tasks, with money going to all of Li Zhaoting's confidantes and close friends.

Secondly, raise the price to an exorbitant level, such as five million or even ten million taels of silver. Even Heshen would be furious upon hearing such a figure.

Finally, they demanded exorbitant deposits. Other missions required a 30% deposit, while assassinating Li Zhaoting required 50%. If the mission failed, the money would not be refunded, and then they would just send some random cannon fodder.

Even a fool wouldn't agree to such a condition.

In this way, the problem is returned to the employer.

It wasn't that Blackstone was cowardly, but that the employer was short of money.

This is a very common "unspoken rule".

Assassin organizations cannot refuse missions voluntarily; for dangerous targets, they usually impose harsh conditions.

Both Zhang Sanfeng and Yu Luosha could be assassinated.

The prerequisite is that the employer can afford to pay!

To compare the strength of assassin organizations, you should mainly look at the most dangerous missions they have carried out. Wiping out a few small families is nothing; the real skill lies in assassinating powerful figures in the martial arts world.

Blackstone's highest-level mission was to assassinate the Supreme Elder of the Kongtong Sect. He first bribed an undercover agent with a large sum of money, then launched the assassination, killing the two most skilled elders of the Kongtong Sect and stealing seven or eight volumes of sword manuals.

This record is quite impressive.

Especially in this quiet little town.

……

early morning.

Wang Shenglan is eating breakfast.

Old Lu's chicken broth and steamed buns.

Wang Shenglan ate a steamed bun in three bites, and soon her belly was round. At the same time, she secretly regretted that her belly was not so round because of eating.
Ye Zhanqing sat opposite, sword in hand, looking at the chicken broth, steamed buns, chicken heads, and chicken feet on the table. Ye Zhanqing sneered disdainfully: "You're quite pretty, how did you end up marrying a good-for-nothing pretty boy? While others are eating roast chicken and devouring chicken legs, you only have chicken heads and feet."

Wang Shenglan said, "I don't know you!"

Ye Zhanqing said, "I know you! You big-breasted, brainless chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort), you'd better get lost. Once I've dealt with that pretty boy, you'll be free!"

"Do you have a grudge against my husband?"

"I hate useless trash that looks good but isn't actually useful!"

"First of all, my husband is very capable, more capable than you imagine. Secondly, I think the description of him as a good-looking but useless piece of trash is more suitable for you!"

Wang Shenglan grabbed Ye Zhanqing by the collar and with a burst of brute force, flung her four or five feet away!

"Snapped!"

Ye Zhanqing fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if all her bones were shattered. She cursed Wang Shenglan for being ungrateful. What was so great about a pretty boy? She could easily hook him with a little trickery and then chop him down with one stab!
Ye Zhanqing limped away.

Wang Shenglan continued to gnaw on the chicken feet with her head down.

……

Blackstone Branch.

Ye Zhanqing lay in the arms of King Zhuanlun: "I just tested her. That Wen Yuan doesn't know martial arts, she's just strong, and she'll be countered by the Bishui Sword Technique."

King Yama said, "Don't move!"

"I didn't move..."

Ye Zhanqing's hands were very restless, gently stroking the Wheel King's chest and grabbing downwards. The Wheel King was so engrossed in his mental madness that he ignored her little actions.

Ye Zhanqing reached down to grab.

One attempt, and I missed!
Two attempts, and I didn't catch it!

Three tries, still no luck!

Impossible, how could there be nothing there?

Ye Zhanqing looked at King Zhuanlun in surprise.

"You...you are actually..."

"I used to be like that, but I won't be for long. Once I find Rama's remains, I'll be back to normal."

"You're not a man at all!"

"It will be like that in the future!"

"You're a eunuch! A eunuch!"

"I was castrated and entered the palace at the age of twelve. I have been a eunuch for more than fifty years. I hate eunuchs, I hate my voice, I hate that I don't grow a beard. I want to be a real man. Once I get the remains of Rama, I can return to normal. Then we can roam the world freely, happily and carefree!"

King Yama was making empty promises to Ye Zhanqing.

Ye Zhanqing sneered disdainfully: "What kind of dream are you having? You really think you can grow back? You risked your life to snatch the remains of Rama just for this?"

Do you know why I killed my husband?

Because he's just like you, he can't do it!
wrong!

It's not that you can't do it, it's that you don't have it!

"Hmph! I've risked my life for you for so long, it's time for me to leave Blackrock. This is what I deserve..."

Ye Zhanqing pulled out a stack of silver notes and mocked King Zhuanlun without mercy. Ye Zhanqing had a very basic standard for judging men, which far exceeded conditions such as appearance, wealth, power and martial arts. That standard was whether he could be consistent in bed!
If all else fails, she will kill even her own husband, showing absolutely no mercy.

If King Yama were a man with the abilities of the King Yama from the pre-Qin period, Ye Zhanqing would be willing to risk his life for him, even if it meant facing mountains of knives and seas of fire.

Unfortunately, King Zhuanlun was a eunuch. No matter how many benefits he promised, how many nice words he said, or how many empty promises he made to Ye Zhanqing, Ye Zhanqing looked down on him and would never work for him. She despised eunuchs the most in her life.

It's not that I look down on them, it's that I absolutely despise them.

Extreme contempt and utter disdain deeply stung the Wheel King's heart, causing the sixty-something-year-old eunuch to erupt completely. "I saved your life, I taught you martial arts, I love you so much, I'm willing to give up everything to roam the world with you, I'm about to become a real man, yet you think I'm a eunuch!"
Ye Zhanqing overlooked one thing.

She could act presumptuously in front of King Chakravartin not because of her strength, but because King Chakravartin doted on her.

Pampering will eventually fade away.

Like... now!
King Zhuanlun sealed Ye Zhanqing's acupoints with a single finger.

As evening fell, before the Black Stone Conference, King Yama held Ye Zhanqing in his arms and buried her under the stone bridge.

King Yama himself took a shovel and dug a pit.

Driven by the will to survive, Ye Zhanqing struggled desperately in the pit, but his martial arts skills were too poor, and he was easily pulled back by the Wheel King. He listened to the Wheel King's rambling chants of deep affection and felt the soil getting heavier and heavier.

"Ye Zhanqing, do you know why I buried you under the stone bridge? Because I love you so much! Every time I pass by the stone bridge, I can see you again!"

"You've died once before, so dying again now is a piece of cake for you. It won't hurt at all!"

"Come back, come back, come back! Stop struggling! Let's settle things quickly. I'm going to take Rama's remains and be a real man. You'll never understand!"

"I'm so tired!"

"I hate doing manual labor!"

King Yama patted the soil firmly, and subconsciously made a delicate gesture with his fingers, a gesture that eunuchs used, something King Yama hated most. Since there was no one around to let him vent his frustration, he could only stomp on the soil a few times to solidify it.

"I want to be a real man."

"No one can stop me!"

"Ah~~"

King Yama roared to the sky, his face contorted in a monstrous rage.

Not long after, King Yama convened a meeting.

The assassins were quickly dispatched.

Deal with the most obvious target first.
