Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 510 A thousand sails pass by the sunken ship, willow catkins scatter in the wind and clouds.

"Husband, what should we do?"

"All troops, attack in one fell swoop!" Li Zhaoting's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Suppressing a rebellion is something that should be resolved as quickly as possible. We'll head for the Power Gang at noon!"

Before going to Dali, Li Zhaoting originally thought that the Power Gang and the Green Dragon Society were working together to cause trouble, creating the Miao and Baiyi Allied Forces to conquer cities and territories.

Upon arriving in Dali, they learned that the Azure Dragon Society had never been involved, and that the Power Gang was merely a pawn in the Tang Clan's scheme; all the damage was mutual destruction.

If the damage is significant, that's definitely not acceptable.

The power faction did not conquer any cities or territories, nor did it occupy Dali Prefecture, nor did it form a Miao-Jiang coalition. Apart from launching assassinations, it did not take any other actions.

If the damage is minimal, that's even worse.

The assassinations launched by the Power Gang damaged the foundation of Dali, causing panic among the civil and military officials. Even the Duan and Gao families were not at peace and almost fell out.

It wasn't until all of Liu Suifeng's top fighters were killed that outsiders like Li Zhaoting discovered the truth.

These assassinations were all "mutual destruction."

Ju Xiushan exploited Liu Suifeng's habitual thinking, ensnaring him and unknowingly eliminating the powerful members of the Power Gang, leaving the Power Gang an empty shell.

By the time Liu Suifeng realized what was happening, it was too late. The dead cannot be brought back to life. Liu Suifeng's methods were too cruel, and each time it resulted in mutual destruction.

Li Zhaoting didn't care about Old Madam Tang's schemes or how the Tang Clan was divided. For the safety of his two fathers-in-law, he had to lead his troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

There's no need for a large-scale military operation.

The Power Gang's headquarters is down to just two people.

Li Chenzhou and Liu Suifeng.

Sending a few experts over will suffice.

Li Zhaoting went to find Xiao Feng and Xiao Qiushui.

Xiao Feng sighed twice, but said nothing more.

Xiao Qiushui was speechless with astonishment. First, she was surprised that the Power Gang, with its many experts, had been squandered to the brink of destruction. Second, she was amazed by the Tang Clan's scheming.

Xiao Qiushui has a close female friend named Tang Fang, who is the granddaughter of Old Madam Tang. Contrary to the impression of the treacherous and ruthless Tang Clan disciple, she is generous and graceful, a true female knight-errant. Because of her affection for Old Madam Tang, Xiao Qiushui also thinks of her as a kind and gentle old woman.

Only now do I realize how deep Tang's scheming, how calculating, and how ruthless she was.

Will Grandma Tang grant my wish to be with Tang Fang?
What conditions are required for the legitimate daughter of the Tang Clan to marry outside the clan?
Xiao Qiushui felt uneasy, sensing that something bad was about to happen to her, and even with luck better than a lucky koi, she still couldn't escape disaster.

According to the fortune teller, Xiao Qiushui's good fortune in the first half of her life was too strong. Things always turn to their opposite when they reach their extreme. She needs to suffer a calamity to dilute her good fortune, otherwise she will surely suffer misfortune in her later years.

Old Mrs. Tang was Xiao Qiushui's nemesis.

This is something I can't say too much about.

The secret cannot be revealed.

In particular, it must not be revealed to human-shaped koi fish.

Having finalized their plan, the three headed straight for the Power Gang.

The journey was uneventful.

The Tang Clan experts scattered and fled. Bai Yunfei and Lan Xiaodie, along with Yuanbao, gave chase. None of the demons and monsters under Tang Shiwu's command were good. They should get rid of these bastards as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble in Dali.

The experts under Old Madam Tang's command understood the rules of prestigious sects and aristocratic families, and their words and actions maintained decorum, so they wouldn't make the situation too ugly.

The demons and monsters under Tang Shiwu's command were all more arrogant and ruthless than the last, never considering the consequences of their actions, and there was nothing they wouldn't dare to do.

for example.

Tang Shiwu had four major branches in the east, west, south, and north. The leader of the northern branch was named "Tang Minghuang," whose personal sword was called Jiuwu, and whose main martial art was called King's Sword Dao.

Tactics: Reign supreme, lead the army in person.

What wouldn't this madman do?

Who knows, one day they might suddenly decide to throw poison into a well in Dali. Who could stand that?

This is not Li Zhaoting spreading false accusations.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was capable of such a thing. His greatest characteristic was his tyranny and bloodthirstiness. He killed people for fun when he had nothing to do and never did anything good in his life.

The arrogant nickname wasn't a mistake. Li Chenzhou had been calling himself the "King of the World" for over a decade, and no one had bothered him.

However, it's okay to use nicknames a few times, but don't take them seriously. Nicknames like Li Chenzhou, Tang Shiwu, and Tang Minghuang are examples of people taking nicknames as the truth.

Another person did the same thing.

That person's name is—Bai Zizai!

However, Bai Zizai lived in his own little world, deep in the Great Snow Mountain, where there was hardly anyone around for miles. No matter how absurd his words and actions were, it had no impact on him.

……

The headquarters of the Power Gang.

This place was originally a Miao village, the tribe of the "Snake King" among the eight Heavenly Kings of the Power Gang. It was later converted into a new headquarters, and now it is a ruin.

Li Chenzhou and Liu Suifeng sat back to back in the ruins, showing no signs of dejection. Instead, they were enthusiastically analyzing right and wrong, and gathering intelligence on the Tang Clan.

Upon seeing the three arrive, his first words were neither about past grievances nor anything else: "Did any of you three bring any wine? Have a drink before you set off!"

Li Zhaoting and Xiao Qiushui did not have this habit.

When Xiao Feng goes out, he will definitely carry a wine pouch with him.

Xiao Feng untied the wine pouch from his horse and casually tossed it to Li Chenzhou: "There's no need to dwell on right and wrong, grudges and favors. We've come here today to send you both to your final resting place."

Li Chenzhou nodded: "My reputation in the underworld isn't very good, but I understand one principle: when you win, you can celebrate wildly, but when you lose, you must be able to accept defeat gracefully!"

Liu Suifeng pointed to the stone wall: "This is the intelligence I compiled about the Tang Clan. It's a pity that all the Power Gang's papers were burned, and they don't even have any silver notes. I can only carve it on the stone. Please don't mind it."

Li Zhaoting asked, "Where is Ju Xiushan?"

Liu Suifeng shook his head: "He ran away! He had already run away before I returned to the Power Gang. He was a confidant of Old Madam Tang, and his real name was Tang Junshang."

Xiao Qiushui sneered, "Liu Suifeng, you've calculated everything, relied on undercover tactics to wipe out countless sects, and are the king of Jianghu spies, yet you failed to detect the undercover agent. Don't you feel very frustrated?"

Liu Suifeng said, "To be honest, this is the biggest setback of my life. I have never felt so powerless since I started my career, being played like a puppet. In this battle of wits, I have lost miserably."

Xiao Qiushui was not one to kick someone when they were down, but the Huanhua Sword Sect was destroyed by the Power Gang, and Xiao Qiushui's family and friends were killed by Li Chenzhou. When the gang was destroyed, Xiao Qiushui watched helplessly as several familiar elderly people in the house inexplicably became traitors and opened the defensive mechanisms.

Yesterday, they were affectionately calling each other "uncle" and "elder brother," watching these uncles and elders fish and play chess. In the blink of an eye, these people drew their swords and ruthlessly stabbed the Huanhua Sword Sect in the back, severely damaging them.

Xiao Qiushui was so shocked that she almost went crazy.

Even Ximen Chuixue, who had no connection to the matter and was a complete outsider, was shocked by it and began to hunt down the "Extinction God and Demon" who had infiltrated the Huanhua Sword Sect.

This led to a fierce battle between Ximen Chuixue, Lu Xiaofeng, and the Power Gang. Three powerful figures from the Power Gang fell under Ximen Chuixue's sword, and ten branch headquarters and more than thirty secret spies were exposed by Lu Xiaofeng, resulting in heavy losses.

Lu Xiaofeng almost completely uprooted the Power Gang's operations in Sichuan, which brought the conflict to an end.

This battle diverted Liu Suifeng's attention, giving Xiao Qiushui time to grow. Xiao Qiushui fled all the way to Guilin, where she received Zhang Danfeng's inheritance.

From then on, he embarked on a path of extraordinary success.

The journey was arduous, filled with countless battles and near-death experiences. But even being forced to jump off a cliff and being chased by Li Chenzhou couldn't compare to the thrill caused by Liu Suifeng's undercover work, which became Xiao Qiushui's inner demon.

Xiao Qiushui pointed her sword at Liu Suifeng.

"Liu Suifeng, it's time for you to make your move!"

"Xiao Qiushui, are you sure you want to choose me? With your current martial arts skills, you might very well be killed by me!"

"You were the one who plotted against the Huanhua Sword Sect, and you were also the one who planted the undercover agents. I will avenge the more than three hundred disciples of the Huanhua Sword Sect. This battle is inevitable!"

"Aren't you afraid of death? You are the most blessed genius I have ever seen. One day, you might even surpass Xiao Feng and Li Zhaoting. You must understand that only by living can you realize your talent. Once you die, you lose everything!"

"A blood feud, I would die a hundred times without regret!"

"In that case, let's take action!"

Liu Suifeng sneered: "Xiao Qiushui, don't expect me to surrender easily. The kind of person I am will show my full strength even in death, and I will take someone down with me!"

Li Chenzhou finished the wine in his wine flask and looked intently at Xiao Feng: "Xiao Feng, the title of Fist Champion has been divided into five parts by those bastards, but the Buddhist Great Bright Fist and Wudang Tai Chi Fist have no qualified successors. Wanyan Jue was killed by Li Zhaoting, so only the two of us are left as Fist Champions." Xiao Feng smiled and said: "It's just an empty title. Compared to the title of Fist Champion, I seem to be more suitable to be the leader."

Li Chenzhou said, "I'm suffering from internal injuries, so you can't use your Vajra Transformation. This is fair to both of us. Why don't we let Li Zhaoting see who is the true champion!"

Li Zhaoting stepped back two steps, giving the two space to duel: "You fight, I'll be your witness!"

Xiao Feng sighed, "Li Chenzhou, Liu Suifeng, you've miscalculated one thing. Oh well! Oh well! I won't upset you anymore. As long as you think it's right, that's enough!"

Xiao Feng was a man of great stature; how could he not know that the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill can only be used five times" was a lie? He knew his own physical condition best; using it five times was not the limit of the skill's application, but rather its completion.

At this moment, Xiao Feng was like someone at the tenth level of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, his essence, energy, and spirit condensed into one, his power was unrestrained, and his flying punches and kicks all possessed the power of supreme yang and supreme strength, like a dragon and tiger golden pill.

All methods of absorbing energy, borrowing strength, and cutting off meridians were completely ineffective against Xiao Feng. Even if Zhu Wushi used his energy-absorbing technique on Xiao Feng, at most he would only tear a few of his outer robes.

The Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Absorption Technique are similar in nature to a range hood; the true energy is the "smoke".

The fumes can be removed, but if I put a basin of water under the range hood, can you still remove them? Xiao Feng's state is even more advanced, equivalent to placing two bricks underneath.

Not to mention range hoods, even water pumps won't work!
Compared to the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, which focuses more on offensive capabilities and has stronger attack power, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill emphasizes self-cultivation, being both a Buddhist relic and a Taoist elixir, with the goal of breaking through the void with a punch.

Xiao Feng disliked taking advantage of others and didn't want to cause trouble for them by using his Vajra Transformation at this time. He and Li Chenzhou took a stance and continuously enhanced their own energy.

Ranking Xiao Feng as the "Fist Master" is a misinterpretation based on his appearance after witnessing the power of the Vajra Transformation. Xiao Feng's forte is definitely palm techniques, followed by claw techniques. His fist and leg techniques are not much different, although his fist techniques are also very strong.

In the original storyline, during the battle at Juxian Manor, it was clearly stated that Xiao Feng's fist technique had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, a level of skill that all martial artists dreamed of, combining both strength and gentleness, and striking first after the opponent had moved.

The terms "fist leader," "palm leader," and "claw leader" are all incorrect.

Why not wait until two of the "Four Greats" retire, then have Li Zhaoting and Xiao Feng simultaneously join the "Four Greats" and launch an attack on the Three Demon Lords, challenging their own grandfather?

Looking at Xiao Feng's fighting stance, Li Zhaoting's thoughts wandered. Li Chenzhou defeated Tang Shiwu with the "Cataclysmic Fist," but he suffered great losses. Fortunately, the Thirty-Six Extraordinary Paths of Heaven and Earth came with a healing technique for the heart, and Liu Suifeng carried healing elixirs with him, so his injuries had recovered by about 60-70%.

For martial arts masters, this state can better stimulate the body's potential, which perfectly matches the name Li Chenzhou, meaning to burn one's boats and go all in.

"Xiao Feng, watch out!"

Knowing that Xiao Feng wouldn't strike first, Li Chenzhou took the initiative to throw a punch at Xiao Feng. Suffering from internal injuries, he couldn't withstand a prolonged battle, so he unleashed a continuous barrage of rapid punches, his fists flying like a rain of flowers, fierce and ruthless.

A series of devastating and devastating attacks!

Xiao Feng fell off his horse and countered with Shaolin Arhat Fist. This was not because he underestimated Li Chenzhou, but because he was unsure of his opponent's strength. He steadily used the Vajra Push Mountain move, which was more effective than any other trick or method.

The moves of Luohan Fist are not very sophisticated, but it is the most stable fist technique. It is as steady as Mount Tai, unmoving and unshakable. The force of the fist crashes towards Li Chenzhou like a tidal wave, crushing him with extreme yang, strength, power and force, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Well done! With this one move, I can tell that those bastards in the imperial court are ignorant and actually think that you were able to become the champion of the boxing world because of your indestructible Vajra Divine Skill."

Li Chenzhou, with his exceptional knowledge, immediately recognized the brilliance of Xiao Feng's fist techniques. Upon further reflection, he realized that if Xiao Feng could only become the top fist master through a special state like the Vajra Transformation, it meant he was not qualified to be the top fist master. In today's martial arts world, the ruthless and insane geniuses would tear any ranking list to shreds if it revealed even the slightest flaw.

The rankings released by Six Doors are completely misleading.

Even now, Li Zhaoting remains the top figure on the Heavenly Gang List, a true leader among the Heavenly Gang.

Li Chenzhou quickly suppressed his chaotic thoughts. Like a gourmet seeing a delicious meal, he had never seen such a large, powerful, and upright fist since his debut. He was willing to be torn to pieces to die under these fists.

Of course, if Xiao Feng reveals a weakness, Li Chenzhou will not hesitate to unleash his killing move. Li Chenzhou does not want to die at the hands of an ordinary person, but there are two experts here who died under Li Zhaoting's sword, and they also died heroically.

With this thought in mind, his fist techniques became even more ferocious.

Hidden and dormant, it soars into the sky!
Two extraordinary forces set sail and dominate the north and south!
The mysterious gates are secretly activated, borrowing the power of Heaven!
Li Chenzhou unleashed three moves simultaneously, causing the ground to crack and burst with explosive force. His fists clashed, and the yin and yang energies circulated between his fists, creating a formless sonic boom.

Xiao Feng exhaled and roared, his voice like a dragon's cry.

Roar of the Dragon!
The sound waves converged into a giant, menacing dragon, which surged towards Li Chenzhou. Xiao Feng slumped off his horse, drew an arc with his left hand, and unleashed the "Regretful Dragon" attack with his right.

"Dragon Subduing Palm? What a fine palm technique! Fifth Brother said you shouldn't just be the champion of fists and palms, but should be ranked first among all fist and foot techniques. Show me!"

Li Chenzhou slowly punched Xiao Feng with his "Talking about the Wonders of the World" move. This move seemed slow but was actually fast. The principle was similar to Tai Chi. It used a small force to wear down the opponent's great strength. The longer it went on, the more powerless the opponent felt, while Li Chenzhou felt more relaxed and comfortable. The disadvantage was that it was slow to take effect.

This move was merely to create distance. Li Chenzhou feinted, his body trembling like a long dragon, his movements mysterious and unpredictable. He then soared into the air, his body standing firmly in mid-air, hovering as if riding the clouds.

A peerless wonder that allows one to ride the void and tread the air!
Immediately afterwards, a strong light was released from his body, and immense pressure was like clouds and mist, as if dark clouds were covering the sky!
A magnificent spectacle that blots out the sky!
A peerless wonder, its soul scattered and its spirit dispersed!
One of his two powerful moves targeted Xiao Feng's five senses, while the other targeted his soul. Taking advantage of the moment when Xiao Feng closed his eyes, Li Chenzhou, from his superior position, unleashed a heavy punch.

He traversed unconventional paths alone, breaking through thousands of troops!
Among the thirty-six extraordinary moves of the Heavenly Transformation Techniques, there is a unique move that combines the full power of one's body for defense, instantly increasing the defense of an area the size of a palm several times over.

This move is called: The Return of Extraordinary Qi to One!
This move, "Walking Alone on a Strange Path to Break Through a Thousand Armies," is a reversed version of a defensive move, transforming contraction into release. Its power is overwhelming, surpassing even the might of a flying dragon in the sky.

Xiao Feng soared into the air, his body coiled around the giant dragon.

Dragons fight in the wild, their blood turning black and yellow.

Faced with Li Chenzhou's unexpected punch, Xiao Feng fully opened all his joints and unleashed the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

A golden dragon soars into the sky, swallowing clouds and spitting out mist.

With one move, "Riding the Six Dragons," and another, "Crossing the Great River," he dissipated Li Chenzhou's domineering fist force. Then, his body soared high into the air, followed by a move called "Flying Dragon Slamming Down from the Sky."

"Flying Dragon in the Sky" was like a meteor falling to earth. The golden dragon phantom was accompanied by a dragon's roar. Li Chenzhou's eyes were bloodshot. He pushed his true energy to the limit, which instead aroused his ferocious nature to fight to the death.

He didn't dodge; his muscles bulged like a coiled dragon, and he unleashed the strongest defensive move of the Thirty-Six Extraordinary Paths, "The Return of Extraordinary Qi to One," forming a hexagonal prism-shaped wall of energy the size of a palm, to meet the golden dragon phantom.

"boom!"

The shockwave blasted through the ruins and debris, sending smoke and dust obscuring the sun.

The ground beneath Li Chenzhou's feet caved in two feet, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, yet he laughed wildly: "What a magnificent Dragon Subduing Palm! To die by this palm technique would truly be a worthwhile life!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the golden dragon's phantom image paused, Li Chenzhou's fist technique suddenly changed. He abandoned defense and launched a strong attack. His figure was like a ghost, closing in to within three feet of Xiao Feng, and his fists created a sky full of fist shadows.

The force of the punches layered upon layer, like the Milky Way pouring down from above, and also concealed the illusory force of the body moving freely through unorthodox means. The real and false punches intertwined like a net, bombarding Xiao Feng's vital points.

Xiao Feng formed his hands into dragon claws, and with his unparalleled dragon claw technique, he grabbed at Li Chenzhou's pulse point. They fought fiercely for a moment, exchanging ten blows before the fist shadows and claw imprints simultaneously dissipated.

Li Chenzhou, with his hair disheveled and his face full of arrogance, concentrated his true energy into his fist and roared, "Xiao Feng, this fist technique is the last move of the Thirty-Six Extraordinary Moves of Heaven and Earth, which will bring calamity to the world. Its original name is the Fist of Calamity."

The fifth brother thought it sounded bad. Every move in the Thirty-Six Extraordinary Moves of Heaven and Earth is accompanied by the word "extraordinary". I thought about it all night yesterday and came up with a name for this move!
One punch, and there is no tomorrow.

We'll see about right and wrong, and our grudges in the next life.

Therefore, this move is called

—May our extraordinary destiny end in the next life!

"Xiao Feng, take this punch!"

Li Chenzhou's words had a strong sense of moral blackmail, forcing Xiao Feng to take the hit head-on. Fortunately, Xiao Feng preferred head-on clashes, unlike Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, who were masters of dodging. A head-on clash was exactly what he wanted!

Xiao Feng slumped off his horse, gathering power in his palms.

With his left hand, he held a defensive stance, while with his right hand, he used the technique of "Treading on Frost and Ice" to probe for weaknesses. As their palms overlapped, their power merged and drew arcs together before being unleashed simultaneously.

The dragon has no regrets!

The golden dragon roared and charged toward Li Chenzhou.

Overturning the world, overwhelming the mountains and seas, and invincible.

The two powerful moves collided with a deafening roar, tearing up the ground within a radius of several dozen feet. What was originally a ruin was now leveled by the shockwave, leaving behind a large, deep crater.

The smoke cleared.

Blood trickled from the corner of Xiao Feng's mouth, and his face turned pale.

Li Chenzhou lay on the ground, his chest caved in.

"Well done... well done! You deserve the title of champion, I accept my defeat wholeheartedly!"

Li Chenzhou pleaded, "Xiao Feng, I have never asked anyone for anything in my life. Everyone says that the great hero Xiao is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. I only ask you for one thing: bury me and Lao Wu together!"

Xiao Feng nodded in agreement.

Li Chenzhou laughed and said, "Thank you! The manual in my left pocket is a fake. If you have an enemy, you can give it to him. The real Thirty-Six Extraordinary Techniques of Heaven and Earth is hidden under the stone wall. It might be useful to you!"

After saying that, Li Chenzhou stopped breathing.

Meanwhile, the battle between Liu Suifeng and Xiao Qiushui was coming to an end. Liu Suifeng was skilled with a short knife, but his knife skills had a flaw that would be countered by Zhao Shirong's swordsmanship. Xiao Qiushui keenly noticed this tiny flaw.

A flash of sword light, and the longsword pierced through his chest.

The king of spies was defeated by—loyalty!
