Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 424 Lu Xiaofeng: If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather!

"Smart people shouldn't do foolish things!"

"If you don't tell, and we don't mention it, no one will know. But if you tell us, to ensure the secret isn't leaked, we'll have to kill you to silence you!"

The bitter bamboo and the lone pine sing in harmony.

They are fellow disciples, old partners with decades of experience working together, no less than the Xuanming Elders, the Meng Clan Twin Demons, and other super old monsters skilled in combined attacks.

The Pine and Bamboo Divine Sword, when combined, is invincible!

The claim that they are invincible is an exaggeration and a boast, but the combined strength of the two of them is enough to deal with Lu Xiaofeng, who has been through a fierce battle, is severely depleted of his energy and spirit, and is lacking in strength!

Kuzhu: "Why are you courting death?"

Lone Pine: "You have too many friends in the underworld. They will avenge you. We can only blame your death on Fang Yufei. Given Li Zhaoting's personality, he will wipe out the entire Black Tiger Gang. We will lose a lot of income!"

Ku Zhu: "If we don't say anything, even if we can't become the leaders, we can still use the Rakshasa Token to exchange for the positions of Left and Right Envoys. With the Black Tiger Gang, we'll have satisfied our appetites and can retire in peace."

Lone Pine: "We are both nearly eighty years old. We don't have the energy to indulge in debauchery, nor do we like to gamble. The Black Tiger Gang's money is enough for us to live on for a hundred years. Unfortunately, we won't live to be a hundred years old, so we can only find someone to spend the money for us."

Ku Zhu: "Originally, that person was you. We would have become good friends. When you were short of money, I could have given you tens of thousands of taels to support your extravagant lifestyle."

Lone Pine: "When you need manpower, the gods and demons of the Demonic Sect will help you. For things that are inconvenient to do or people that are inconvenient to kill, I will help you kill and silence them."

Kuzhu: "You should know these benefits better than the two of us. We should be partners."

Lone Pine: "Why bother with all this!"

Lu Xiaofeng sneered: "I can't explain to you the principles of a man's conduct! If Lu Xiaofeng were a greedy, opportunistic, and treacherous person, how could he have friends all over the world?"

Kuzhu: "Where are your friends?"

Gu Song: "You can call out three times and see if you can get Li Zhaoting to come. You can call now!"

To the two old men's surprise, Lu Xiaofeng actually yelled at the top of his lungs, "Li Zhaoting, I've been ambushed by these two old geezers! I'm about to turn into a dead phoenix!"

"It's good that he's dead. It'll give me a chance to try and send Lu Xiaofeng to be cremated so he can be reborn from the ashes!"

In the hazy mist, Li Zhaoting appeared carrying a bag of vegetable buns: "I ran more than 300 miles, flying at high speed while using my inner energy to keep them warm!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng's thousand complaints vanished. He picked up a warm vegetable bun, savoring the combination of cornmeal and dried cabbage, enjoying the blend of soybeans and dried shrimp, and comfortably squinted his eyes.

"Slurp slurp~~"

Old Wine let out a dissatisfied grumble.

Did you run more than 300 miles?
I've traveled tens of thousands of miles these past few days. If you don't give me extra food tonight, I'll let you try to stumble!

Li Shengnan appeared from the other side of the street corner.

She was riding Feng Suzhen's Crescent Moon.

To deal with the traitors of the Demonic Cult, we need the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult.

Bitter Bamboo and Lone Pine were filled with despair.

They were confident in taking advantage of Lu Xiaofeng's misfortune and defeating the severely weakened Lu Xiaofeng, and they were confident in defeating Li Shengnan, but they lacked confidence in fighting Li Zhaoting. In their current state, they would be torn to pieces by Li Zhaoting's chaotic swordplay in at most three moves.

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "In recent years, I have been in at least sixty close calls with death, and I have survived each time because I have many friends!"

Li Zhaoting said, "The number of times was miscalculated. According to the summary from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, it should be four hundred and twenty-three times!"

"Are there so many?"

"Just added it once!"

"I think it should be added twice!"

"Fang Yufei's situation is not considered a fatal crisis."

I think so.

“You can personally verify the Tianji Pavilion’s credentials, showing that you were in grave danger under Fang Yufei’s claws and were on the verge of death. I certainly have no objection to that. But Seniors Kuzhu and Gusong will definitely not agree.”

Li Zhaoting gestured for the two old men to speak.

Ku Zhu said proudly, "Lu Xiaofeng, we two have been defeated by you. We accept our defeat and are ready to die, but a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. What is Fang Yufei anyway!"

Gu Song drew his sword: "Li Zhaoting, you have the Purple and Green Twin Swords, and we have the Pine and Bamboo Divine Sword. To see the Purple and Green Twin Swords before I die is to say that my life has not been in vain."

Li Shengnan coughed and said, "I'm here! How can the task of eliminating the rebels be entrusted to outsiders!"

"Isn't the Holy Maiden afraid of being killed by us? Knowing that death is inevitable, we will definitely fight to the death. Anyone would think it's a great deal to exchange the life of an old man for the life of a young girl, while the Holy Maiden will suffer a terrible loss!"

"Stop talking nonsense and make your move!"

Li Shengnan wore the Great Search God Hand on her left hand and held the Cloud Cutting Sword in her right hand, the sword's edge gleaming with a three-foot-long blood-red light.

"Chichi!"

Two sword lights pierced towards Li Shengnan's vital points.

Each step covered ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), as fast as lightning.

As guardians of the Demonic Sect, their martial arts skills were by no means inferior to the Xuanming Elders or the Meng Clan's Twin Demons. Their reluctance to confront Li Zhaoting did not mean they feared Li Shengnan.

Anger welled up in Li Shengnan's heart.

Are you afraid of Li Zhaoting but not of me?

I am the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult!
I am the one who will bring an end to you!

The Nine Great Soul-Slaying Techniques: Slaughter All Living Beings!

Without making any movement, Li Shengnan's body seemed to float in mid-air. With a twist of her body, she created a series of afterimages. When the sword technique used this move, evil would give rise to righteousness and yin would give rise to yang. It would change from strange and tricky to upright and domineering. The sword energy was like rain and the sword light was like a waterfall.

A terrifying aura of cataclysmic destruction spread throughout the Silver Hook Gambling House. A blood-red river appeared in mid-air, cascading down three thousand feet before converging into a sword beam.

A sword beam that can destroy the heavens and the earth and kill all living beings!
The lone pine and bitter bamboo exerted their full power of true energy, like an ancient bamboo on a cold mountain peak, like a pine tree standing tall amidst a flurry of snow, determined not to be crushed by the sword energy.

The two old men had spent sixty years honing their sword intent amidst the freezing cold. Their skill was incredibly profound, their sword intent incredibly pure, and yet their hearts were... so empty!
If they could truly comprehend the essence of the Pine and Bamboo Sword, how could they harbor such petty and despicable thoughts? From the moment they accepted the invitation to leave the mountain, they ceased to be pure.

She was invincible against ordinary swordsmen, but against experts, she would reveal her true nature as a show-off. Li Shengnan was already holding back her anger. Seeing Mei Songzhu killing each other and hearing the truth about the Rakshasa Card, she couldn't help but have some suspicions. She poured her anger into her sword energy, turning it into the witch's deadly killing intent!
The lone pine and bitter bamboo could no longer open their eyes. An unimaginable aura of destruction filled the area within a radius of fifteen feet. Endless crimson sword light formed a towering wave, as if pouring out from the void. It seemed that Li Shengnan used the Cloud-Cutting Sword as a key to open the Blood Pool Hell.

The lone pine and bitter bamboo in the surging sea of ​​blood could no longer withstand the killing intent that withered all things. The precious sword broke, the body was pierced by the sword's edge, and the essence and spirit dissipated.

The two old men had already vanished into thin air, but Li Shengnan did not stop. Instead, she continued to unleash her sword intent, condensing the anger, resentment, ferocity, and murderous aura of the Silver Hook Gambling House onto the blade, and suddenly unleashed her strongest killing blow.

The Nine Great Soul-Slaying Techniques: Annihilation of the Three Realms!
The Demonic Sect's strongest sword technique, a supreme skill comparable to the Divine Blade Slash and the Fifteen Deadly Swords, can only be unleashed with Li Shengnan's foundation at a rate of 30%. To unleash its full power, she must activate the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique and fight life for life.

The Three Realms will be annihilated!

Swordsmen also exist within the Three Realms.

Only by risking one's life, making a desperate gamble, and fighting the enemy with a do-or-die determination, dragging the enemy down to hell even at the cost of one's life, can one unleash one's full power.

A figure appeared in the thick fog.

A faint human figure, fainter than the fog, more illusory, more ethereal, and more elusive than the fog.

Even if you saw this person appear with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that he really came from the earth.

Even if you know he's not a ghost or spirit, it's hard to believe he's a living, breathing person.

He stood there, without making a move.

He did nothing, and before the fog even dissipated, Li Shengnan's killing move, capable of slaying gods and immortals, silently dissipated into the fog, and Li Shengnan gradually regained her composure.

The restless Qi and blood returned to normal.

The shattered sword energy dissipated into the void.

Even the will to fight and the desire to kill were extinguished.

The figure stood in the mist, and its mere presence was enough to make Li Shengnan lose her will to fight: "Shengnan, you haven't improved at all since you got married. You're even more irritable than before!"

The only person who could speak in such an intimate tone, besides Li Zhaoting, is Li Shengnan's master.

Li Zhaoting sighed regretfully.

Jade Rakshasa roared, "You brat, you seem very disappointed? What exactly were you hoping for?"

Li Zhaoting glanced sideways at Yu Luosha.

Li Shengnan and Li Zhaoting "fought side by side." The atmosphere became unusually quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The only sound was Lu Xiaofeng eating vegetable buns, crunching and sizzling as the bottoms were fried until crispy and crunchy.

After a long pause, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't stand the awkward silence any longer and asked, "Are you Jade Rakshasa? Weren't you assassinated? Why are you pretending to be dead?"

Yu Luosha said, "When I was alive, no one dared to betray me. Only after I died will those scoundrels jump out, just like when you cook rice, you must first pick out the weeds in the rice!"

Lu Xiaofeng sneered, "As far as I know, the leader of the Demonic Sect has always been the one with the strongest. Your son, Yu Tianbao, was an ignorant and incompetent wastrel. He has already been killed!"

Yu Luosha said calmly, "You have to understand, a person like me would never raise a son by my side."

My son was no longer my son the day he was born. A person in my position would absolutely not be able to discipline their own son. I have too many things to manage and endless troubles to deal with.

You should also understand that there are many things in the world that cannot be changed. The Great Heaven-Mending Technique can heal internal and external injuries and reconnect broken meridians, but it cannot bring a woman who has suffered a difficult childbirth back to life.

The son of the leader of the demonic sect, who has no parents to guide him since birth, has endless wealth, and is tempted by countless demons and monsters to fall into depravity, how can a son who grew up in such an environment be in charge of the demonic sect?

Lu Xiaofeng, Li Zhaoting, I'm not complaining to you, nor am I pouring out my depression. I'm just telling you a truth: medicine can't cure all diseases, and difficult childbirth is very troublesome for women. Don't leave yourself with regrets for the rest of your life!

Is there anything else you'd like to ask?

Li Zhaoting asked, "Jade Rakshasa, do you intend to abdicate and hand over the throne to a more worthy successor? Isn't it a bit too early now?"

Yu Luosha removed his hood, revealing a mask carved from black ice. His face was obscured, but his white hair was visible. Martial arts masters are strong and healthy, and their aging process is slower than that of ordinary people. Not to mention Yu Luosha, an unparalleled grandmaster standing at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, even when he is over a hundred years old, he can still maintain a healthy physique.

Not all of the Demonic Cult's internal cultivation methods are about quick success and instant benefits. The four internal cultivation methods—the Great Heaven-Mending Technique for Heaven's Cripples and Earth's Defects, the Great Formless Skill for Heaven's Collapse and Earth's Sinking, the Great Acupoint Shifting Technique for Heaven's Spinning and Earth's Turning, and the Great Yin-Yang Mantra of the Heavenly Emperor and Earthly Empress—all have excellent health-preserving effects.

Yu Luosha sighed, "Guess how old I am this year? Actually, I'm not very old. I just celebrated my seventy-fifth birthday. When I looked in the mirror, I found that my last black hair fell out with the comb."

I am very familiar with my physical condition.

I have four years to pursue the Way of Heaven.

If I cannot break through the void before the age of eighty, I will find it difficult to transcend in this life and will only be able to stay in the Demonic Sect headquarters, becoming a Demonic Sect leader who has been stuck in the same place for decades. This is absolutely unacceptable, and I really have to go into seclusion for a life-long retreat!
Li Zhaoting, are you willing to take over the Demonic Sect?

"If you simply agree, all the gods and demons of the nine heavens and ten earths will kneel before you and be at your beck and call."

Jade Rakshasa raised her hands, holding the token.

A genuine Rakshasa brand!

The Rakshasa amulet has always been in the hands of Jade Rakshasa!
The item in Yu Tianbao's hand is a fake.

"Hmph! How could I, a righteous hero, collude with evil and heretical sects? You're dreaming!"

"Damn it! To hell with your righteous heroism! You've killed far more people than me, and wherever you go, death follows. What kind of hero are you? Put down that demonic cult witch first!"

Jade Rakshasa nearly fainted!
If Li Zhaoting said he was focused on sword practice, wanted a warm home with his wife and children, and wasn't good at managing the sect, those excuses would be fine. So what did Li Zhaoting say?
What a righteous path!
What a great hero!
Put my holy maiden down first!

Put my princess down again!

When you married the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, did you ever think of yourself as a chivalrous hero? You're even more shameless than me!
Li Zhaoting thought to himself, "You don't need to get excited. What if I can't afford the medicine if I end up lying on the ground? What does it matter if I marry a demoness from the Demonic Cult?" This is called "The Great Hero Li Zhaoting Enlightens the Demoness from the Demonic Cult, Guiding Her to Repent and Return to Righteousness!"
How you guide someone is none of your business!
Anyone who asks will die!

Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang playing the qin and xiao in harmony is called colluding with evil people. If Fang Zheng and Dongfang Bubai were to find kindred spirits, it would be a legendary tale in the martial arts world!
How much better the demoness has changed!

After letting Lan Fenghuang lead a few raids, the arrogant and domineering demonic woman of the Demonic Sect was gone, and she became a docile little girl!
Li Zhaoting glanced at the Silver Hook Gambling House, which had been blasted into ruins by Li Shengnan's sword. This wretched place should have been demolished long ago. My wife is punishing evil and eliminating wickedness!
How can a vixen who punishes evil be a vixen?

She's clearly a chivalrous woman!
Li Zhaoting looked up at the sky and whistled.

Just as Yu Luosha was about to leave, Li Zhaoting hurriedly asked the question that had been hidden for years: "That... the son you had someone adopt, he shouldn't be... tsk!"

Yu Luosha looked Li Zhaoting up and down, her gaze settling on his face: "How do you maintain your skin? It's thicker than a city wall. You don't even want your own father when you see someone with power and influence? Your real father is Li Nanxing!"

Is Jade Rakshasa Li Nanxing?

"no!"

"Then I'm relieved! My father is a respectable scholar who passed the imperial examinations, not a heretic from a demonic sect!"

"You married a demoness from the evil sect, and now your daughter and son are both demons from that sect. They'll drive you crazy with worry sooner or later!"

"Where is your successor? The Demonic Sect must have a leader who can control the overall situation; otherwise, if all sorts of chaotic demons start causing trouble, it will lead to rivers of blood!"

"My son is outstanding! Extremely outstanding! Let alone the mere Western Region Demonic Sect, even a thousand troops would be nothing more than lines on his palm, a piece of cake for him!"

"Is your son Zhuge Liang?"

"Zhuge Liang devoted himself to the cause and worked too hard. As a less-than-ideal father, I sincerely hope that my son can live a few more years and live a life free from illness and disaster!"

Jade Rakshasa vanished silently into the thick fog.

He never glanced at Li Shengnan once.

Eighty percent of their attention was on Li Zhaoting, while the remaining twenty percent was focused on Lu Xiaofeng. In terms of martial arts, Yu Luosha was a master of unparalleled skill, but no one wanted to be enemies with someone like Lu Xiaofeng. This was not something that could be determined by force; it was an innate quality.

Lu Xiaofeng asked in surprise, "Li Zhaoting, why do you suspect that Jade Rakshasa is your father? There's no reason for that!"

Li Zhaoting said, "The reason why Shengnan and I first met was because my master went to the Demonic Sect to steal the lightness skill technique."

With the martial arts skills of my master and Jade Rakshasa, even a blind or deaf person could see the scene of their fight, yet there is no record of it, and the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion knows nothing about it.

What followed was even more bizarre.

Yu Luosha gave Sheng Nan a mission: to capture me and bring me back within a year. Is this some kind of training exercise for a disciple, or a blind date arrangement? Is there really such a cheap deal?

When we were fighting for the Liancheng Treasure in Jiangling, he gave me the Demonic Sect's most powerful healing technique, the Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Deficiency Great Repair Technique, for free, and even gave me a beautiful woman!
That beauty is Gongsun Lan.

One of the four princesses of the Demonic Sect.

The four princesses of the Demonic Sect are each proficient in: playing the zither, writing lyrics, singing, and dancing!
Is this the princess of the Demonic Cult?

She was clearly a concubine who accompanied the bride during her dowry!

Even Gongsun Lan herself has complained about it.

They gave me a martial arts manual for free, and their personal disciple arranged a blind date for me, plus four dowry items!
If I said he wasn't my father, would you believe me?
How many biological fathers could do this?
Shengnan, do you have any doubts?

Li Zhaoting counted on his fingers that dealing with the infamous Demonic Sect in the martial arts world had not only resulted in no loss, but had also brought him benefits in every way.

The lightness skill and movement technique were given to me by the Demonic Sect!
The Horizontal and Vertical Sword Technique was given to us by the Demonic Sect!
Five stunning beauties, all presented at once!
Worried that with so many beauties entering the household, Feng Suzhen would have difficulty managing the family affairs, so she gifted the eldest wife the Mighty Sword Technique!

Li Shengnan retorted, "What are you thinking! You just saw two princesses, and there are two more you haven't seen yet! One is as aloof and noble as a white crane, and the other is as alluring as a red rose. I can't control them!"

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his mustache: "Li Zhaoting, once you become the leader of the Demonic Sect, could you train a few demonic witches for me? I can recognize you as my godfather!"

"Go, go, go! Go as far as you can!"

Li Zhaoting kicked Lu Xiaofeng away.

Lu Xiaofeng scrambled away.

Li Zhaoting and Li Shengnan found an inn to rest.

In the dead of night, Li Shengnan quietly left.

Yu Luosha had been waiting in the woods outside the city for a long time. She handed the Luosha Token to Li Shengnan and said, "Shengnan, you have learned all the martial arts you were supposed to learn, except for one move!"

"What martial arts technique?"

"The strongest grappling technique in history!"

"Will I be struck by lightning if I tell?"

Li Shengnan recalled the time on the deserted island when Li Zhaoting told her a story. Just as he uttered the name, dark clouds suddenly gathered and a torrential downpour began, as if divine punishment had descended.

Of course, this is a normal climate phenomenon.

Such a "heaven-defying" skill does not exist in the world.

Yu Luosha laughed and said, "Everyone says that the strongest grappling technique in the world is the Great Abandoned Child Grappling Technique, but they don't know that the grappling technique collected by the Holy Sect is the real number one."

The "Great Abandoned Child Grappling Technique" is just the tip of the iceberg!

Li Shengnan asked, "Master, the Great Abandoned Child Grappling Technique either kills or cripples the opponent. What about an even more powerful grappling technique that could wipe out an entire sect? What are the requirements for joining?"

Jade Rakshasa: "A resentful woman confined to her chambers!"

"what?"

Li Shengnan was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.

"This is called... the 'Little Abandoned Wife Capture Technique'!"
The mantra and formula are inscribed on the Rakshasa amulet!
