Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 533 The Eight Swords of Yue King, the Great Limit Sword Technique, Guan Qi's Successor?
Who is the youngest brother with broken eyebrows?

He was a notorious assassin who was said to have seven sworn brothers. He was the youngest and the last in line, hence the nickname "Broken-Eyebrow Youngest Brother." His real name was Shi Broken-Eyebrow!
Shi Duanmei's martial arts skills surpass those of Zhongyuan Yidianhong and Pinggu Yidianhong, and are only slightly inferior to those of Sima Xue and Liu Fenyu, but his fame is several times less.

Shi Duanmei is an assassin, but his methods are unsuitable for the job. They are too cruel, too bloody, too time-consuming, and leave traces with every crime he commits.

These flaws cannot be corrected.

Firstly, this was Shi Duanmei's hobby.

Secondly, some narrow-minded young masters and wealthy people with deep-seated hatred would spend a fortune to hire Shi Duanmei to torture their targets.

While not nearly as famous as Sima Xue and Liu Fenyu, Shi Duanmei earned far more money. While assassins like Sima Xue earned money by selling their lives, Shi Duanmei earned money by providing emotional support.

Shi Duanmei's competitors were not Yidianhong, but Shangguan Yundun, and even Gongsun Wulong. As the two villains were beheaded, Shi Duanmei's business became better and better.

Shi Duanmei has a rule of "three things he will not kill".

It's not some pretentious, self-serving fabrication by notorious villains, a killer who exploits emotions. What conscience does it have?
This rule refers to:
1. Under normal circumstances, Shi Duanmei would not make a move. He prefers to ambush others, using insidious and vicious methods to attack them or threaten them with hostages.
Second, the torment and suffering a person endures cannot satisfy Shi Duanmei; he must not die.

Third, the women who were insulted by Shi Duanmei would not be killed by him. Instead, he would spread the word, ruin their reputations, and cause them lifelong suffering. They would either fall into prostitution, become nuns, or, in endless humiliation, completely despair and hang themselves.

Such a cruel code of conduct clearly indicates that they will not kill cleanly and efficiently, but rather provide clients with the ultimate emotional value and the pleasure of revenge.

Using Shi Duanmei as bait to test the waters was obviously an excellent choice, but Shi Duanmei was no fool. He wouldn't accept a mission that meant certain death, and would instead incur hatred towards Huijia, leading him to assassinate Huijia's close associates every now and then.

Hui Baiying frowned: "Zhan Shu, is this your plan? Do you think Shi Duanmei is a fool? In this situation, you didn't leave me. I acknowledge your loyalty. You must live up to my trust."

Zhao Zhanshu smiled coldly: "Patriarch, I have discovered some hidden information. Broken-Eyebrows Youngest Brother does indeed have seven sworn brothers, and they have formed a faction."

"What force?"

"The moon of Qin and the pass of Han! The true identity of the Broken-Eyebrow Old Man is a Manchu spy! Li Zhaoting used collusion with the Manchus as a reason to sever the lineage of the Yuxian Gang."

If Manchu spies appear in Chang'an, Li Zhaoting will take action regardless of their identity!
The youngest son with the broken eyebrow had no choice!

Death is the final destination of the youngest brother with broken eyebrows!
The only place I can go!

A sinister glint flashed across his face as he brandished his hand, his triangular eyes drooping slightly, like a venomous snake.

The treacherous and vicious Hui Baiying shuddered instinctively upon seeing Zhao Zhanshu's predatory expression. Like a venomous snake biting its master, Zhao Zhanshu would eventually turn on him and return home.

Hui Baiying nodded: "Let's do it this way! Gather the experts in the family, and take advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack on the You family, catching them off guard."

Zhao Zhanshu was completely convinced by Hui Baiying's words and said with utmost respect, "The patriarch is wise! Wise!"

The Chi family is at a loss, and the Ge family is declining; either family is a better target than the You family.

The You family could also have thought of this.

Therefore, the You family's defenses will be minimized.

Unpredictable, attacking it unprepared.

There aren't that many conspiracies and tricks.
Seize the opportunity and charge!

Either wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.

Either you lose everything in one fell swoop.

Hui Baiying has a very high chance of winning. There are too many experts returning home, all of whom are from the same clan. They are not scoundrels who abandon their principles for profit, nor are they petty thieves.

The experts who are good at returning home mainly include:

"The Soul-Searching Old Man of the Heavenly Wolf" returns to Yi Yu;

"The Undying Dragon of the Broken Army" returns to Wan Lei;

"King of the Martial Whip" returns with a telegram;

"Lian Zhen Tongbi Tiger" returns with a thousand winds;

"Seven Killings Wooden Fish Monk" returned with a mark;
"Flying Spear" fired a hundred shots;

"Bold knife" returns the light;

The one with the highest martial arts skills is the head of the family, Hui Baiying.

With so many experts launching a surprise attack, the battle was several times more intense than the "Kill Chu" battle twenty years ago. The main objective was to kill, with looting as a secondary objective, aiming for a swift and decisive victory.

The app can confirm the target as quickly as possible.

There are tasks related to who to kill first and who to kill next.

The You family has a relatively shallow foundation, with few talented members in its main lineage, and the pillars of the family are all retainers.

There are three people who are the most powerful.

"Drunk and lying on the hillside," Gu Foying;

A brief summary of "The Spotted Leopard";
A datura flower adorns the lips;

Yesterday, Lin Yuanxiao launched an assassination attempt. Gu Foying shielded You Yuzhe with his own body and was seriously injured. Now, the only one capable of taking charge is Hua Zhanchun. He is quite capable, but his martial arts skills are slightly lacking.

Thinking of this, Hui Baiying's face turned fierce!

Hui Bai should be a mad gambler.

Even if the glory only lasts for one day.

Even if he basks in glory in the morning and dies in the afternoon, he still wants to fully enjoy the power and influence of the day.

"I dare not covet the martial arts world of Guanzhong, nor do I dare to contend with the Quanzhen Sect or the Cihang Jingzhai, but the martial arts world of Chang'an is mine! Everyone will be under my control!"

Hui Baiying's eyes were wide open, bloodshot.

……

Li Zhaoting took a trip around Zhongnan Mountain, but due to his severe procrastination, he returned to Chang'an near dusk. Most of the streets were shrouded in the stench of blood, and the cries of agony could be heard clearly for miles outside the city gates.

Li Zhaoting's lips twitched, his face full of embarrassment.

Didn't you know I was here?
Did Butler Liu not sell my information?
Knowing I'm here, you still dare to make a move?

You guys are really...disrespectful to me!
In fact, Li Zhaoting misunderstood. It wasn't that the four major martial arts families didn't respect him; rather, they respected him too much, which led them to misunderstand.

Of the four families, two are rotten to the core, and the other is a complete cesspool. They dream of Li Zhaoting coming to blow up their cesspool with firecrackers. These decaying families don't trust any outsiders; they only believe in conspiracies and framing.

As long as I shift the blame to someone else, I won't die even if they die. How can you kill us all? As long as I make the first move, I can gain a three-point advantage.

That's what Hui Bai thought, so when Li Zhaoting arrived at the city gate, what greeted him was not a neatly arranged welcoming procession, but a brutal assassination attempt.

Lin Yuanxiao and Hui Baiying were using each other.

A place to live where one has food and clothing.

A suicide squad needed to target the Chi and You families.

The two hit it off.

Bai Ying never expected that Lin Yuanxiao was a madman who would do anything for revenge. From the very beginning, Lin Yuanxiao wanted to make a big scene and attract Li Zhaoting's attention.

Who is Lin Yuanxiao?

He was the kind of person who, in order to avenge his family, would first seek out a godparent, and then assassinate the emperor with a knife.

Lin Yuanxiao never worried about being betrayed by the Chi and You families. He died; he was just a walking corpse.

Lin Yuanxiao has nothing left but revenge.

Revenge is everything to Lin Yuanxiao!
What does whether Hui Baiying dies or not have to do with Lin Yuanxiao? Shouldn't Hui Baiying die?

In other words, from the moment Hui Baiying broke the chains binding Lin Yuanxiao, things began to spiral out of control, completely spiraling out of control in just one day.

Li Shengnan sneered: "I told you long ago that there are not many good people here. Killing them all might be a mistake, but even if we kill 80 or 90%, there will definitely be some who escape."

Cheng Huaixiu sighed, "Master, do you know where the Azure Dragon Society branch is in Chang'an? Others may not know the specifics, but they definitely do."

Li Zhaoting held up one finger: "I don't know where the Azure Dragon Society's branch is, but I know one person who definitely knows, and that's our Steward Liu."

"Butler Liu?"

“You can tell just by looking at his face. This guy is a master at intelligence gathering; he’s obviously a spy.”

"Whose spy?"

"It's definitely not Yan Tieshan's!"

"Honey! That's nonsense! Yan Tieshan is practically buried to his eyebrows, how could he have such a leisurely time?"

"Huaixiu, you don't need to go back to your parents' home tomorrow morning, right? Shengnan, I've made the decision. Huaixiu will listen to you tonight. You can do whatever you want with her!"

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Huaixiu hurriedly said, "You're using someone else to do your dirty work! Shengnan, don't fall for his tricks, he's using you!"

Li Shengnan sneered: "Use me? You have to give me some benefits before you use me! I am a demoness from the Demonic Sect, and I am rather short-sighted. I like immediate benefits the most."

Cheng Huaixiu: _○／|_

……

"Master, you're back!"

Butler Liu greeted Li Zhaoting with a smile, more warmly than he would have his own father. The massacre, initiated by Hui Baiying and ignited by Lin Yuanxiao, was out of control, with bloodshed everywhere.

Steward Liu was worried that the refusal would kill him, so he hid in Qingniu Manor and dared not leave for even a moment. When he saw Li Zhaoting, he thought to himself that his life was saved.

Li Zhaoting laughed and said, "Steward Liu! Go to the Azure Dragon Society branch and get me today's intelligence! I want to know what happened in Chang'an during the day!"

Butler Liu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then knelt down: "I was confused for a moment, please forgive me, sir! Please forgive me! Just treat me like a fart and spare my dog's life!"

Li Zhaoting patted him on the shoulder: "I hope to see the intelligence within half an hour. By the way, order dinner from Taibai Tower. Their food and drinks are excellent!" Under the threat of death (which he thought he was facing), Butler Liu went to the Qinglong Society branch as fast as he could to get firsthand information. Then he went to Taibai Tower to order food. Finally, covered in sweat, he begged Li Zhaoting to spare his life.

Li Zhaoting waved for him to get lost, then casually handed the documents to Li Shengnan, asking her to read them aloud.

"This morning, news suddenly spread in Chang'an City about the feud between the Buchou Sect and the Chi and You families. It is speculated that this was released by Hui Baiying to divert attention."

Realizing they had been betrayed by Hui Baiying, the Chi and You families quickly launched a counterattack, gathering those who had been harmed by Hui Baiying over the years and making their grievances in the streets and alleys.

They were clearly using someone else to do their dirty work!
My dear husband, your reputation is too strong!

Everyone wants to borrow your knife!
At noon, Hui Baiying suddenly took action, turning the verbal battle into a life-or-death struggle, with his expert team launching a surprise attack on the You family.

According to the information provided by the Azure Dragon Society, the most suitable targets should be the Chi family or the Ge family.

The You family is the safest.

Hui Baiying's plan was to take them by surprise.

Even more unexpectedly, the You family had made preparations in advance, joining forces with the Chi and Ge families to set up an ambush and wipe out half of the elite troops who had returned home.

Hui Yiyu charged too fiercely and was severely injured by Cai Xuanzhong, a master retainer of the Ge family, and was subsequently torn to pieces by a flurry of swords.

The return light was killed by Jian Xun.

The most devastating loss was that the heir refused, and he was killed by Fang Xiezhen, a retainer recently recruited by the Chi family.

Hui Baiying went mad and charged forward, only to be severely injured by the Chi family's secret master, 'Seven-Hair Zen Master'.

If it weren't for Hui Wanlei's desperate support, Hui Baiying would have surely died under Master Qifa's crossbow. However, Hui Wanlei was severely injured by Master Qifa, with an arrow piercing his heart.

After returning home in a sorry state, they fled back to their ancestral home. The Ge family announced that the manor would be closed for three months, during which time they would not concern themselves with any matters of the martial arts world.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Chi and You families launched an attack, sweeping through Huijia's territory. Huijia had committed numerous evils, and at least 2,800 people had been harmed by them. Seeing Huijia suffer heavy losses, the people applauded and cheered.

However, according to the Green Dragon Society's analysis, this could be a ruse, or it could be a search for an undercover agent.

Hui Baiying, that old vicious wolf.

We can't possibly suffer such a huge loss!
There are two more documents following.

One of them is by Zen Master Qifa.

This man's real name was Ouyang Qifa. He was determined to build ninety-nine temples on Mount Emei, so he was extremely short of money and always carried a begging bag with him.

He'll work for whoever pays him.

Master Qifa's profession is—assassin!
He was proficient in the "One-Shot Divine Thrust". The Seven-Haired Zen Master was of course a monk, but not a monk with a shaved head. He had hair that was slightly longer than a buzz cut, so he could use his hair as an arrow and release it with a specially made crossbow.

If you are hit by a 'divine thorn', you cannot pull out the thorn directly, otherwise it will damage your blood vessels. You must seal the acupoints around the wound and wait quietly for seven days. After seven days, the arrow will wither, and only then can you apply medicine to the wound.

Zen Master Qifa's career was marked by only one failure, and his goal was—Zhuge Zhengwo!
Seven-Fa Zen Master, along with three grandmasters, ambushed Zhuge Zhengwo. One of them was Lei Sun. The agreement was that the three of them would work together to subdue Zhuge Zhengwo's acupoints, and Seven-Fa Zen Master would finish him off with a divine thorn. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Zhengwo fiercely blasted the three of them away, forcing Lei Sun to escape with a severed finger.

Zhuge Zhengwo calmly looked at Zen Master Qifa, who was so frightened that he dared not make a move and fled in a sorry state.

In fact, after knocking the three away, Zhuge Zhengwo had little strength left and could hardly withstand a divine stab.

With Zen Master Qifa taking action, the chances of victory are at least 50%.

However, Zhuge Zhengwo's power was too great, and Zen Master Qifa dared not make a move, fleeing in terror.

Looking back on it, I was filled with regret and despair.

One document contains information about Cai Xuanzhong.

This person's real name is unknown; it is only known that he particularly liked to use the characters Cai, Xuan, and Zhong in his name.

The pseudonyms include Cai Zhong, Zhong Xuan, and Zhong Cai!
Cai Xuanzhong is skilled with a nine-foot-seven-inch longsword and is the most eccentric and bizarre swordsman in the world. This kind of longsword belongs to the category of unusual weapons and it is difficult to achieve anything with it.

Cai Xuanzhong's ultimate skill is sword energy.

The number one sword aura in the world.

The innate invisible sword energy that breaks the body!

This technique is clearly the signature skill of Guan Qi, one of the Seven Holy Masters of the Misty Heaven Alliance, so it's unclear why this person learned it.

"My lord, this man is quite interesting!"

Li Shengnan looked at Li Zhaoting with a slightly provocative expression.

Sword energy is the most common martial art in the martial arts world.

There are countless sword energies, including those that can be flicked at the finger and those that are invisible.

If asked which martial art ranks first, it would undoubtedly be the Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi. At least, before the Myriad Swords Return to the Origin is perfected to a flawless state, it is somewhat inferior to the Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi.

When Li Zhaoting breaks through to the limit and comprehends the ultimate realm of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Source, he will summon thousands of flying swords to form a sword array with a shout of "Swords, come!" He will inevitably have a battle with the innate, body-breaking, formless sword energy to determine who is the king of sword energy.

As for the sword that is nine feet and seven inches long, it is one of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue, named "Zhuanpo".

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Goujian sent craftsmen to offer sacrifices to the gods of Kunwu Mountain with a white horse and a white ox. Afterwards, they mined red gold and, in accordance with the energy of heaven and earth from all directions, forged eight exquisite swords, namely the Eight Swords of King Yue.

The Qin state's "Net" once collected these precious swords and bestowed them upon "Heavenly" assassins, who would abandon their real names and adopt the swords as their names.

The Eight Swords of the King of Yue each possess profound mysteries:
One of the terms is "covering the sun," which means that when the sun is obscured, the daytime light becomes dim, and when yin prevails, yang is extinguished.

Two men cut off the water and used it to paddle; once opened, they could not close again.
The three spirits are used to point at the moon, causing the toad and rabbit to turn upside down;

Four Xuanjian (mysterious swordsmen) flew by, and when birds touched their blades, they were cut as if slashed.
Five startled salamanders used them to sail the sea, causing the whales and salamanders to retreat.
Six Soul Destroyers, carrying him on a nighttime journey, encountered no demons or monsters;
Seven ward off evil spirits; any demons or monsters who see them will submit.

Eight true warriors, capable of cutting through jade and severing gold as easily as shaving earth and wood;

Jin Jiuling was fortunate enough to obtain the "Jingni", which later became Li Zhaoting's collection and he often played with it.

When Li Zhaoting destroyed the Sun family of the Divine Spear Society, he blasted Cai Xixie to pieces, along with the Evil-Repelling Sword, and burned the entire Sun mansion to ashes.

In comparison, Li Zhaoting's favorite sword is the Black and White Xuanjian, which has a cool design and fierce moves. In terms of design, this pair of divine weapons is more like a precious sword.

The Soul-Turning Sword is the longest sword, much longer than the Mo Dao, and can be used as a knight's lance.

A sword is double-edged; you can't use spear techniques with it.

Holding the sword with both hands indicates an imbalance in the center of gravity.

A sword manual needs to be tailor-made for this purpose.

This technique is called "The Great Limit Sword Manual".

The opportunity to create the sword manual was brought about by Qin Shi Huang.

Ying Zheng was routinely the scapegoat.

The wonderful things that Ying Zheng produced in his later years could fill a warehouse, but he never enjoyed them.

Thinking of this, Li Zhaoting chuckled to himself.

There was another person in Chang'an who could make Ying Zheng take the blame.

Fang Xiezhen's swordsmanship.

The Heavenly Question Sword Technique

The origin is the "Yin-Yang School" of the Qin state.

The founder of this sword technique was the Imperial Preceptor Donghuang Taiyi.

Back when the Immortal Clan was in turmoil, someone stole the sword manual and fled. That person was Fang Xiezhen's master.

Fang Xiezhen's sword was the divine weapon "Tianwen" that Ying Zheng used for a period of time. Ying Zheng did not like Tianwen very much, but only took it out to play with occasionally. It did not become tainted by any aura, but instead made the divine object Tianwen obscure itself.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Tianwen tossed and turned in his sleep.

A thousand years have passed, and it only began to shine after falling into the hands of Fang Xiezhen. Only a swordsman like Fang Xiezhen, who is both wicked and genuine, can unleash the power of the Heavenly Question Sword!
"As expected of a historical city, even the treasures unearthed by a few decaying and corrupt families are enough to shock people. They are all ancient artifacts that are thousands of years old!"

Li Zhaoting couldn't help but make a couple of sarcastic remarks.

The Eight Swords of King Yue, the Great Limit Sword Manual, the Heavenly Question Sword, and the Heavenly Question Sword Technique are all antiques from the Qin and Han dynasties.

Not to mention the innate formless sword energy that breaks through the body and the divine piercing technique, which are all incredibly exciting.

How can this commotion be enough?
Didn't you want to cause trouble?

Then let's cause chaos and bloodshed!
At worst, we can let the Quanzhen Sect cover it.

Ma Yu is a person of good character.

Ma Yu is very suitable for appeasing the people.

Thinking of this, Li Zhaoting whistled and was about to go outside to add some fuel to the fire when he suddenly sensed an extremely fierce and malevolent killing intent and couldn't help but fly after him.

The murderous aura came from an assassin.

This person does not need a mask.

Any mask must cover the eyes.

His trademark is his eyes.

His left eyebrow bone was broken, leaving a scar in the center of his left eyebrow, as if it had been cut off vertically, hence the name "Broken Eyebrow Old Man".

A notorious killer.

A signboard provides emotional value to the employer.

The goal of the youngest brother with broken eyebrows
Ordinary people!
