Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 482 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes, the True Form of the "Evil Emperor of the Demonic Path"!

"Helian Ba, prepare to die!"

Whether it was a misperception or not, Ren Qianxing felt that ever since he entered the Chess King Cave, there had been a faint, persistent force amplifying the Demon Sword and enhancing his power.

Ren Qianxing was initially terrified, mistakenly believing that someone was plotting against him, until he entered the life-or-death game and realized that the amplification came from the vengeful spirits at the bottom of the lake.

More than 500 years ago, General Ying Shuntian built Chess King City in the secret realm of Chess King Cave, and summoned thousands of craftsmen to build a chessboard that was even taller than Ultraman.

Ying Shuntian was ruthless. After the project was completed, he threw all the craftsmen into the lake and drowned them. Thousands of corpses lay beneath the crystal-clear water.

That's not all. When Ying Shuntian was dueling with the Chess Saint and Sword Ancestor, he made a wrong move and they both perished. Ying Shuntian vowed to make a comeback and poured all his essence, blood, and resentment onto the chessboard of the Life and Death Chess Game.

After five hundred years of nurturing, resentment, hatred, and the aura of death permeated the chess pieces of the Life and Death Chess Game, continuously amplifying the power of the Demon Sword as Ren Qianxing played the game.

This is the final measure left behind by Ying Shuntian. The entire Chess King Cave is the domain of the Demon Sword Clan. As long as one enters the Chess King Cave, the Demon Sword Clan will become stronger and stronger.

Ren Qianxing was unaware of the reason, but he didn't have time to think too much at the moment. He stepped forward, holding the sword in one hand and supporting it with the other, condensing the sword energy into a thin line.

"One! Sword! Separates! Worlds!"

A tangible, blood-red sword aura spread to Helian Ba's feet. Before Helian Ba ​​could leap to dodge, Ren Qianxing swung his hands upwards, and the sword energy roared as it arrived.

Helian Ba ​​gave a wry smile.

He can't escape it.

Inside the Chess King Cave, the power of the Demon Sword was increasing every moment. The power of "one sword separates worlds" increased several times over. Ren Qianxing's true energy was like lava, and his whole body was like a volcano. His boiling blood and qi, like boiling oil, overflowed from his pores, forming a thick blood-red fog.

strength!

Infinite power!
The power to slay gods and immortals, and to wither all things!

A surging sea of ​​blood roared past, and Helian Ba ​​was cleaved in two by the sword energy. His blood and qi were completely absorbed by the demonic sword, turning into pure power that amplified Ren Qianxing's strength.

When Ren Qianxing was ambushed by Fang Yeyu, he was able to use the elders of the Demon Sword Clan as sacrifices to launch the "One Sword Separates Worlds" technique repeatedly. Now, with the sacrifice being the stronger and more powerful Helian Ba, coupled with the omnipresent blessing of the Chess King Cave, Ren Qianxing quickly recovered his energy.

"I am invincible! I am invincible under heaven! Those who look down on me, I will kill you all!"

Ren Qianxing moved without wind, hovering in mid-air, his entire body enveloped in crimson sword light, as if a blood demon had descended.

Guan Yutian showed no pride in Ren Qianxing's achievements, only worry and helplessness.

Guan Yutian had long discovered that the demonic sword had been corrupting Ren Qianxing. Ren Qianxing was nominally the sword master, but in reality, he had always been a sword slave. The longer he held the demonic sword, the more severely he was corrupted, and he had already gone mad.

The bet he made with Li Zhaoting was intended to use Li Zhaoting and Cheng Huaixiu to seize the Demon Sword and merge the Heart Sword and the Demon Sword into one. He never expected things to turn out so suddenly, and he never expected that Ren Qianxing's demonic nature would be so profound.

In a daze, Guan Yutian realized that his previous judgment was wrong. He simply could not tell whether the demonic nature of the demonic sword or Ren Qianxing was stronger.

The Demon Sword is a demonic weapon that destroys all things, but Ren Qianxing's demonic nature seems to be even stronger. Guan Yutian can even hear the beating of the "demon heart" within Ren Qianxing's body.

The thunder roared and the war drums thundered.

In the blink of an eye, Ren Qianxing had already chosen the next sacrifice for the Demon Sword—Fang Yeyu!

Fang Yeyu felt he had lost badly in that ambush, and by the same token, Ren Qianxing was forced to abandon his family and flee, suffering a similarly devastating defeat.

The Demon Sword had just been born when it was first defeated by Li Zhaoting with the Supreme Heavenly Sword, and then forced to flee like a stray dog ​​by Fang Yeyu. This was a huge setback for the Demon Sword.

As the saying goes: To use something advantageous, you must first blunt its edge!
If the Demon Sword were in the hands of a normal swordsman, he might have been able to suppress its demonic nature with these two defeats. However, Ren Qianxing's demonic nature was too strong, and he was neither a master nor servant of the Demon Sword, nor a puppet of the Demon Sword. The two had a symbiotic relationship.

The demonic nature of the magic sword and the demonic nature of the swordsman, through repeated defeats, battles, killings, and bloodlust, experience humiliation, anger, pleasure, and madness together, blending together like water and milk, achieving true unity of man and sword.

This unity of man and sword is even better than that of Ying Shuntian five hundred years ago. Ying Shuntian used his domineering aura of conquering the world to suppress and control the demonic sword. The demonic sword was his weapon, his servant, and there was an absolute master-servant relationship between them. He could use it when he wanted and discard it when he wanted.

Ren Qianxing achieved a genuine, complete unity of man and sword with the Demon Sword, and his demonic nature was so intense that even if Pang Ban were here, he probably wouldn't be so mad.

"Fang Yeyu, die!"

A slender, silk-like sword beam locked onto Fang Yeyu.

In one-on-one duels, the ultimate move "One Sword Across the World" is neither the strongest nor the most ingenious, but it is certainly the most troublesome. When it is charged up, the laser aims and locks onto the target precisely, leaving the opponent with no choice but to accept the attack, not dodge it.

Once locked onto by the sword's edge that seems to sever worlds, there is no room for evasion except to fight with all one's might to receive the attack.

"Damn it! You think I'm afraid of you! I am a minor demon master, the successor of the demon master Pang Ban!"

Fang Yeyu mistakenly thought that Ren Qianxing was picking on the weak to deal with him, and he was furious. He thought to himself, "I am a dignified little demon master, and you actually treat me like a soft persimmon!"

Ren Qianxing didn't care about anything else. He gathered his strength and unleashed a blood-red sword beam that sent shockwaves through the air, creating a blood-red torrent in an instant.

"Little Demon Master, run!"

Qiang Wangsheng stood in front of Fang Yeyu. The sword could not be dodged, but he could use his body as a shield. The sword energy attack was straight and direct. Could it possibly bend?
Qiang Wangsheng was one of the eight great guards of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. Although he was blinded by the death of his partner, his loyalty to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty remained unchanged, and this loyalty was ingrained in his bones.

In the original storyline, the Mongol army was defeated, and Xu Ruowu led eighteen experts in hot pursuit. None of the eight guards betrayed them; they fought their way through the chaotic soldiers, broke through Xu Ruowu's defenses, and blocked his pursuit. At the cost of three lives, they successfully escaped to the grasslands.

Qiang Wangsheng and You Chidi are both strong individuals who can survive battles of this level. To deal with them, you must use unconventional tactics and try to kill them with one blow.

Even without his partner and with his strength greatly diminished, Qiang Wangsheng was still able to bravely stand in front of Fang Yeyu when Fang Yeyu was in dire straits, using his body as a shield to withstand Ren Qianxing's killing move and using his life to dissipate 80% of the force.

"laugh!"

Qiang Wangsheng was cut in two by the sword's edge.

"clang!"

Fang Yeyu used his twin halberds to block the remaining power.

Ren Qianxing laughed disdainfully: "Little Demon Master! Is this all the Little Demon Master can do? How disappointing! Just watch how I slaughter all your men!"

Ren Qianxing charged through the crowd with his sword. Although Fang Yeyu's subordinates were indeed elite, how could they stop Ren Qianxing, who had been completely possessed by demons from the inside out?

Even the high lama responsible for holding off Li Zhaoting and engaging in a rigged match with him was stunned and trembled with fear by Ren Qianxing's manic behavior.

Guan Yutian roared to the sky, "Gods! Since you want to see demons running rampant and rivers of blood flowing, I will grant your wish! Qianxing, like father, like son, let's fight side by side and kill to our hearts' content today!"

Li Zhaoting thought to himself, "You dogs are fighting each other, don't count me in." He grabbed Wang Shenglan with one hand and Cheng Huaixiu with the other, and leaped into the chessboard to see if the mechanism for moving the pieces was nuclear-powered.

Liao Rushen and Yi Shuihan were completely dumbfounded.

Yi Shuihan wanted to take advantage of the chaos and profit from the confusion.

As if guided by divine intervention, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

I never expected the situation to turn out this way.

First, each faction moved the gold themselves.

Then, Qiang Wangsheng and Helian Ba, determined to kill Guan Yutian, once again launched a bloody battle.

Following closely behind was Ren Qianxing, who fell into demonic possession. In a short period of time, he used the "One Sword Separates Worlds" technique twice. Not only was he not exhausted, but he became more and more courageous in battle. He killed two powerful figures, Helian Ba ​​and Qiang Wangsheng, with his sword, and defeated Fang Yeyu with one sword. His physical strength was not damaged at all, and he slaughtered wantonly in the crowd.

Finally, Guan Yutian went berserk, declaring that today might be the end for the Demon Sword Clan, and that he and his son would paint the most magnificent colors for this final battle!
The Dragon Palm unleashed a relentless barrage.

The crimson sword light slaughtered indiscriminately, like reaping wheat.

Liao Rushen and Yi Shuihan, who were hiding in the crowd, were sensed by the Demon Sword. Ren Qianxing glared at Rushen with his demonic eyes and roared, "Liao Rushen, you shameless traitor, do you think you can get ahead of others?"

Guan Yutian shouted, "You're as clever as a god! Aren't you supposed to be able to deduce the secrets of heaven? Where are your secrets?"

The Mighty Dragon Palm and the Crimson Sword Light struck simultaneously.

Liao Rushen's face turned ashen. He was very reluctant to reveal his strength in front of everyone, but Guan Yutian and Ren Qianxing did not give him a chance to argue.

Either take this or die!
Liao Rushen's hands came together and separated, forming a black and white Tai Chi diagram. He activated "Dreamlike Limitlessness," dissipating the power of the two people, and a smug look appeared on his lips.

"Guan Yutian, Ren Qianxing, I have always been timid and hesitant towards you, not because I am afraid of you, but because I do not want to fight with you. Since you are so stubborn, I will show you the power of the Dreamlike Limitless Divine Skill!"

"Liao Ru Shen, you have the ambition of a wolf! I'd rather destroy the treasure than hand it over to you, you jackal! You want to be the oriole, but I'll make you a headless ghost!"

From the moment he first met Ru Shen, Ren Qianxing disliked him and wanted to find an opportunity to kill him.

Ren Qianxing is not Guan Yutian.

Guan Yutian is a magnanimous and ambitious tyrant. He does not demand loyalty from all his subordinates, but only that they do their best. He cannot exploit their loyalty, but he can exploit their wisdom. Guan Yutian never trusts Ru Shen, yet he gives him enormous power.

His ability to understand things like a god is very strong.

The Supreme Alliance cannot expand without the help of Ru Shen.

When the Supreme Alliance reached its peak and it was time to cleanse itself, Guan Yutian dragged Ru Shen down to hell, made Ren Qianxing the leader of the Supreme Alliance, and Guan Yutian returned to the ancestral land of the Demon Sword Clan to become Murong Hua again. Everyone was happy.

This script is perfect.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

There are too many variables, far exceeding Guan Yutian's calculations.

Now that things have come to this, Ren Qianxing's plan is more reliable. No matter what his schemes are, I'll just kill whoever I don't like. Even if I'm corrupted by the demonic sword, I'll still kill all my enemies with my sword before I die.

I can't outsmart you, so...

—I'm going to flip the table!

A game of life and death, where skill determines superiority and fate!
What is the purpose of a chess game?

Drawing your sword is the most decisive and efficient way!
Despite being in an extreme state of demonic possession, with every bone and hair radiating demonic energy, Ren Qianxing's mind was inexplicably clear, allowing him to inherit Ying Shuntian's unparalleled chess manual from the inside out.

If you can't beat the chess player in the game, then overturn the chessboard and become a swordsman or a boxer. Ren Qianxing's offensive was like a storm, and the crimson tide never left Ru Shen's vital points. Ru Shen wanted to escape, but his retreat was completely blocked by Guan Yutian.

There is no way to heaven and no way to earth.

There is no other way but to fight.

Liao Rushen's ferocity was unleashed.

After nearly twenty years of enduring hardship and biding his time, the time to reap the rewards has finally arrived. But someone wants to destroy the orchard. How could Liao Rushen not be furious? His anger soared to the heavens.

"Ren Qianxing, I'll kill you!"

Liao Rushen recklessly activated the Dreamlike Limitless Technique. As his power reached its peak, he found no strength left in his palm, as all his true energy retreated back into his dantian.

His inner energy surged backward, his meridians shattered, and Liao Rushen clutched his chest, wailing, "Impossible! Impossible! The Dreamlike Limitless Technique clashes with the Heavenly Mystery Sect's inner cultivation method! Impossible!"

"His understanding is divine, and his knowledge of the heavens is even more profound!"

"Master, you are truly a master strategist..."

Liao Rushen stared at the sky with venomous resentment. Dark clouds filled the sky, as if someone was looking down at him with disdain.

Liao Rushen thought he was a clown, a buffoon on a stage, jumping around, pretending to be crazy and foolish, thinking himself clever. Little did he know that from the very beginning, he had been completely outmaneuvered, and his death was already predetermined.

"boom!"

Liao Rushen's true energy backfired, causing him to self-destruct and die.

Blood fell onto the blade of the demonic sword.

The demonic sword absorbed the blood and became even more crimson.

"Who else! Who dares to kill me!"

Ren Qianxing looked at Fang Yeyu arrogantly.

You annihilated my people, today it's time to pay the price!

Before he finished speaking, a bright red figure suddenly appeared from behind Ren Qianxing. A dark red handprint slammed into Ren Qianxing's back. When the attack was made, the hand was only the normal size. When it landed on Ren Qianxing's back, the hand was more than twice as thick. It was the immortal seal of the Tantric sect!
The one who made the move: The Red Sun Dharma King!

An overwhelming and terrifying palm force tore through Ren Qianxing's protective qi, severed his heart meridian, and shook his internal organs. With this single strike, the Red Sun Dharma King turned and ran, completely disregarding the extent of the damage.

The Red Sun Dharma King's original target was Li Zhaoting, but unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn and the situation changed again and again. The Red Sun Dharma King had no choice but to settle for second best and launch a sneak attack on Ren Qianxing.

As the strongest "killer martial art" of Tantric Buddhism, the power of the Immortal Seal needs no further explanation. Ren Qianxing's martial arts focus on offense, so how could he possibly withstand such a killing move?
"Whoosh!"

The demonic sword flew out of his hand and embedded itself in a chess piece.

Just then, Li Zhaoting and the other two rushed out of the lake. Cheng Huaixiu drew the Demon Sword and pressed it hard against the Heart Sword, and the Heart Sword and Demon Sword merged into one.

Without the Demon Sword as his energy source, Ren Qianxing's power dissipated, his face aged visibly, and white hair appeared at his temples, making him look as if he had aged twenty years.

Guan Yutian bowed to Cheng Huaixiu, thanking him for his timely intervention in subduing the demonic sword; otherwise, given the sword's murderous nature, Ren Qianxing would have surely perished.

With a single palm strike, Guan Yutian sent Yi Shuihan flying. He grabbed Ren Qianxing and ran away at top speed, continuously injecting his innate internal energy into Ren Qianxing's body to suppress the damage to Ren Qianxing's meridians.

Ren Qianxing smiled bitterly: "Father! Don't waste your energy! I am not a slave to the demonic sword, but a person who is one with the sword. It is my own choice to have my life force depleted by the demonic sword!"

The great lama who attacked me was the Red Sun Dharma King. He shattered my heart meridian, and there's no way to recover. Why waste your energy on me? You have a son!

"Don't talk nonsense, I will definitely save you!"

"What good would it do to save me? My meridians would be severed, my martial arts skills would be completely gone, and I would be a cripple from now on. Do you think I can live a life of mediocrity? I will either reach the pinnacle or die a glorious death. I will never live a life of ignominy!"

"Qianxing, you..."

"Father, listen to me. The Demon Sword can see things that are invisible to the naked eye. I saw that Ru Shen and Yi Shuihan both possessed demonic nature. I don't know what this power is called, but it's very similar to the legendary Demon Seed."

It resides within a host's body, absorbing the host's negative emotions and vital essence to grow. Once the demonic seed matures, blossoms, and bears fruit, the one who planted the demon will come to reap the harvest.

I...I also have it in my body...

The demonic seed within me resides in my heart.

I don't know who the demon seeder is, but I don't want to use all my life's power to help him. Father, kill me! Crush my heart with one palm! Hurry up and do it…

Ren Qianxing begged Guan Yutian to kill him!

How could Guan Yutian bring himself to do it?
If we don't kill him, wouldn't Ren Qianxing die in vain?

"Qianxing, I..."

"I don't regret being your son!"

In a final burst of lucidity, Ren Qianxing drew the short sword hidden at his waist and plunged it into his heart. Guan Yutian tried to stop him, but could only give up with tears streaming down his face.

"Ah~~"

"Who did this?!"

"I, Guan Yutian, swear that I will kill you, whether I go to heaven or the earth! I will perish with you!"

Guan Yutian was disheveled and looked completely deranged.

Not far away, a mysterious figure shrouded in black robes stared coldly at Guan Yutian, like a cobra eyeing its prey. This was none other than the "Evil Emperor," who had taught Yi Shuihan the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique.

"What a perfect demon seed!"

"Resentment, slaughter, demonic nature, rage!"

"All of this is exhilarating!"

"I can't wait to..."

Before the "Evil Emperor" could finish speaking, a cold voice came from behind: "You can't wait to see me!"

Accompanying the sound was the flash of a sword.

Tianjie: A Stunning Journey!

A fleeting glimpse, a shooting star streaking across the sky.

The green sword pierced the "Evil Emperor's" back.

The Evil Emperor flicked his finger to stop the sword's edge, then looked at Li Zhaoting curiously: "How did you find me? I clearly put all the suspicion on Pang Ban."

Li Zhaoting sneered: "Because I had a life-or-death duel with Pang Ban, I clearly felt that Pang Ban's demonic seed was not about plundering essence, energy and spirit, but about sweeping up the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and had obvious roots in the Demonic Appearance Sect."

The Demonic Image Sect excels at controlling matter with the mind.

Pang Ban, on the other hand, used his Yang spirit to draw upon the torrent of primordial energy.

Yi Shuihan, Liao Rushen, and Ren Qianxing all possess 'parasites' within their bodies, which absorb the essence and spirit of the furnace and return it to the one who planted the demon, harming others for their own benefit!

Furthermore, when I was dueling with Pang Ban, I tentatively asked him if killing Ru Shen would have any impact on Pang Ban. Pang Ban did not answer directly, but instead changed the subject, saying that he really wanted to kill me.

It's not because I saw his secret, but because Pang Ban also knows of your existence. In this world, there are few people more suitable than me to become your furnace.

The purest and most refined innate true energy, and the most sincere and righteous supreme heavenly sword, if they were to devour my essence and blood, would surpass a hundred Ren Qianxing and Yi Shuihan, directly elevating me to the realm of demon immortals and allowing me to shatter the void in one fell swoop.

wrong!

To be precise, you will gain martial arts cultivation that is on the verge of shattering the void, but you will never be able to shatter the void!

What you're pursuing is immortality!
Am i right?
Jia Shifang!

Before he finished speaking, his hood fell down.

Beneath the hood was a thin, gaunt face.

How did you guess my identity?

"Back when the Beggars' Sect was in turmoil, I fought with your disciple and sensed the same aura. I remember his name, it seems to be... Jia Ren!"

"waste!"

"You escaped from the Liao Kingdom?"

"No one can bind me. I was imprisoned by Empress Dowager Xiao, but it was actually an opportunity to heal my wounds and, incidentally, to calculate the fate of the Liao Kingdom. I can stay or leave as I please! I have left dozens of times over the years. Does anyone know that?"

"I know!"

"After today, no one will know!"

"No! To be precise, it doesn't matter if we find out after today. A dead man's plan, no matter how earth-shattering, is meaningless."

"With just the fledgling Heavenly Sword?"

"Look behind you!"

Behind Jia Shifang, Guan Yutian stood with his hair and beard bristling, his eyes bloodshot, and dragon-shaped qi condensing in his palms.

Mighty Dragon Palm!
