Martial Arts Crossover: Breaking the Rules Makes You Stronger, Female Benefactor, Please Wait

Soon, Su Xinghe led Fahai to the outside of the Wuliang Jade Cave.

People from all walks of life in the martial arts world also followed.

If there truly is a shocking secret, they want to witness it firsthand.

Suddenly, a deep, aged voice rang out.

"Senior brother, it's been a long time!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xinghe's expression changed drastically.

In the blink of an eye, a person stepped out from the crowd and went straight to the Wuliang Jade Cave.

He was an old man wearing a brocade robe, with a cold and stern face, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura.

Even more strangely, a layer of pale green mist was faintly swirling around his body.

Everyone retreated hastily, fearing they might be contaminated by the unknown poisonous fog.

The newcomer was none other than Ding Chunqiu, the old monster of the Xingxiu Sect!

"Ding Chunqiu, I didn't expect you to dare show your face here."

Su Xinghe's face was grave as he looked at Ding Chunqiu and angrily rebuked him.

Murong Fu and Song Qingshu smiled when they saw Ding Chunqiu appear.

The reason was simply that Ding Chunqiu and Fahai harbored a deep-seated hatred for each other.

Zhaixingzi died at the hands of Fahai.

This time, Ding Chunqiu will certainly not let him off easily.

Hmph, this little bald monk, does he really think he's something special just because he solved the Zhenlong Chess Puzzle?

Let's see if he can get through this!

"Ding Chunqiu has really come?"

A commotion immediately arose among the crowd, with whispers and murmurs spreading everywhere.

"It's over, a bloody battle is probably inevitable today."

"Not necessarily. Fahai once killed Yu Canghai and could withstand a palm strike from Song Yuanqiao. His strength should not be underestimated."

"But Ding Chunqiu is a master-level figure who has been famous for a long time, and he is also a ruthless character known for his poisons."

"It will be very difficult for Fahai to defeat him."

Just as everyone was discussing this, Ding Chunqiu's cold eyes locked onto Fahai like a venomous snake.

"You brat, you killed my disciple! Today you will pay with your life!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly attacked, unleashing the aura of a Grandmaster, and hurtling towards Fahai with the force of thunder.

Fahai was already weak, and he had a blood feud with them, so naturally they were the first to be targeted and eliminated as soon as possible!

The Zhenlong Chess Game has been set up for thirty years, and he has been trying to solve it for thirty years.

For thirty years, they have repeatedly failed and have never been able to break the deadlock.

This time, he lurked among the crowd, not making a high-profile appearance, just to observe whether anyone could complete this task.

Unexpectedly, it was solved by a monk!

Even more surprisingly, this monk was the one who personally killed his prized disciple!

Absolutely wonderful!

A sinister smile crept across Ding Chunqiu's lips.

"Fahai, you're courting death!"

"Today, I will send you on a path to the underworld to seek justice for my disciple!"

After saying that, he slammed his palm down, the wind from which was as sharp as a knife, and he was in front of Fahai in an instant.

Seeing this, Murong Fu and Song Qingshu were overjoyed and secretly cheered him on.

Ding Chunqiu, keep it up!

This despicable little monk must be killed!

Fahai, what good is it that you solved the game? In the end, you still cannot escape death!

However, Su Xinghe had waited thirty years for the person who could break the deadlock. How could he allow that person to be harmed now?

He immediately stepped in and blocked the attack for Fahai.

However, he was also knocked back several steps, his internal energy and blood churning violently.

"Senior brother, you have been so engrossed in chess these past years that you have neglected your martial arts. How could you possibly be my match!"

Ding Chunqiu cackled, his expression cold and menacing, and suddenly attacked!

In the blink of an eye, Su Xinghe was at a disadvantage.

Su Xinghe struggled to defend himself while glancing back at Fahai.

"Young friend, you go into the cave first."

Judging from his expression and demeanor, it was clear that he was willing to risk his life to cover the rear and give Fahai a chance to survive.

Ding Chunqiu had long coveted the position of leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, so how could he let it go unchecked?

He stood at the entrance of the Boundless Jade Cave, blocking the way, and fought endlessly with Su Xinghe.

Su Xinghe was obsessed with music, chess, calligraphy and painting in his early years, and later spent thirty years playing chess, neglecting his martial arts skills. Now his strength is indeed inferior to Ding Chunqiu's.

However, being from the same school as Ding Chunqiu, he was now even more determined to die. In a fit of rage, he managed to hold Ding Chunqiu firmly in check, all to buy time for Fahai.

Ding Chunqiu was both surprised and annoyed. His eyes darted around, and a wicked plan suddenly came to mind.

"Gentlemen, the Zhenlong Chess Game has been solved. Aren't you curious about the secrets hidden within it?"

Are you willing to let a young monk gain the upper hand?

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd stirred.

Who wouldn't yearn to uncover the secrets of the intricate chess game?

Chapter 33 Refusal to Become an Apprentice

The gazes of everyone present gradually turned fervent.

This game has remained unsolved for thirty years, and countless heroes have fallen by the wayside.

Rumors about it have spread far and wide, attracting countless people to come and take on the challenge.

They traveled thousands of miles just to unravel the mystery and solve the puzzle.

Although no one knows the details.

But it is this spirit that has inspired countless people to follow in its footsteps, and that has kept Ding Chunqiu dedicated to it for thirty years without ever missing a moment.

There must be something extraordinary in this.

Immediately, countless people's emotions surged, and they were eager to act.

Amidst the crowd, Murong Fu's heart stirred, and a plan came to mind.

If Fahai were allowed to enter the Jade Cave alone, all the spoils would belong to him, and he would have nothing to do with it.

If he can incite everyone to enter the cave together, chaos will surely ensue, and he can take advantage of the confusion.

His greed and hatred for Fahai intertwined, leading him to immediately decide to carry out this ruthless plan.

He stood up and said loudly:

"Sect Leader Ding is absolutely right. You have all come from afar and exhausted yourselves, how can you return empty-handed?"

"At the very least, we should go into the cave and see what's hidden inside."

Seeing that someone was instigating the unrest, Kumārajīva also stepped forward, speaking solemnly:

“Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk has come from the Western Regions precisely to break this predicament.”

"The Precious Chess Game has long been an obsession for this humble monk. Now that someone has solved the puzzle, how could this humble monk miss the opportunity?"

Although Kumārajīva appeared to be a high-ranking monk, he was actually obsessed with martial arts and determined to pursue unparalleled skills.

This person is ambitious and has deep desires.

Now that we've come this far, why would we leave empty-handed?

So he joined forces with Murong Fu to promote and incite public sentiment.

Before he could finish speaking, someone echoed his sentiments:

"Mr. Congbian invited heroes from all over the world, all for the purpose of solving the Zhenlong Chess Game."

"The Zhenlong Chess Game has been solved. Since it was done by everyone working together, we are naturally qualified to enter this cave as well."

The person who said these words was Duan Yanqing.

Although heroes have gathered here, all of them have returned empty-handed. Most of them did not even have the courage to try and were just there to watch the excitement.

The only one who could truly solve the puzzle was Fahai.

Duan Yanqing, however, attributed the matter to the power of heroes across the land and used this as a pretext to request entry into the cave.

Such words are utterly shameless.

What's even more worrying is that Duan Yanqing wasn't just looking out for his own benefit.

His phrase "the power of the people" was an attempt to curry favor with everyone and invite the assembled heroes to enter together.

Everyone knew that a great secret was hidden in this cave.

Now that the treasure is right in front of us, greed will inevitably lead to unforeseen consequences.

Several experts took the lead in expressing their opinions, which immediately aroused the greed of the surrounding crowd.

"Lord Duan is right. Since everyone has contributed, why should only Fahai be allowed to enter?"
