Martial Arts Crossover: My master tricked Huang Rong into becoming my wife!

"Big Black! Charge! Burn that piece of broken wood!"

Little Nianrong's chubby little hands gripped the black fur on the back of Wangcai's neck, her short legs tucked between the wolf's belly, her face flushed with excitement. Wangcai let out a long, resounding howl that shook the sea, its four paws treading on the rolling black waves, like a black lightning bolt, crashing straight into the huge black ship.

On the deck of the black ship, hundreds of strange figures clad in black robes with hollow eye sockets turned their heads in unison. Although they had no eyeballs, their senses, modified by the death energy of the starry sky, instantly locked onto the man and dog rushing towards them.

"Sizzle—"

With a teeth-grinding scraping sound, hundreds of black scythes, imbued with deathly aura, were swung out simultaneously, weaving into an impenetrable, pitch-black net that descended upon Xiao Nianrong. The extreme cold of deathly aura contained within this net instantly froze the surrounding seawater into black ice shards.

"You ugly monsters, I'll give you a big firework display!"

Xiao Nianrong didn't stop Wangcai at all. She took a deep breath, her belly bulging out, then her cheeks deflated, and she spat it out forcefully into the black net pressing down on her.

The pure golden innate true fire, like magma bursting its banks, transformed into a ferocious fire dragon in mid-air. The deathly net, powerful enough to annihilate a grandmaster, couldn't even hold out for half a breath upon contact with the true fire, and was instantly burned to nothingness.

The fire dragon continued its relentless advance, slamming heavily onto the deck of the black ship.

There wasn't even a scream. Those self-proclaimed immortal, eyeless monsters, under the licking of the golden flames, their bodies vaporized instantly like snowflakes under the blazing sun. Taking advantage of the moment, Wangcai leaped onto the bow of the ship, its blood-red maw gulping down several bat-like alien creatures that were trying to jump into the sea to escape, chewing them up and swallowing them whole, even licking its fangs with a hint of lingering satisfaction.

"Boom—"

The entire black ship was completely ignited from the inside out by the innate true fire, transforming into a giant torch on the sea, illuminating the thick fog within a radius of ten miles.

On the painted boat, Lu Xiaofeng held a half-glass of Western wine in his hand, maintaining a dumbfounded posture, completely unaware that the wine had spilled on his clothes.

"Brother Chen... who will dare to marry your daughter when she grows up?" Lu Xiaofeng swallowed hard, looking at the little demon ball giggling in the firelight, and felt a chill run down his spine.

Chen Yanzhou slowly tapped the ash from his pipe into the white jade bowl, then glanced at Lu Xiaofeng: "My daughter, Chen Yanzhou's daughter, needs to get married? Anyone who dares to look at her more than once, I'll gouge their eyes out and use them as firecrackers."

Huang Rong chuckled softly, covering her mouth as she peeled a lychee, a tribute from Lingnan, and offered it to Chen Yanzhou's lips: "You just spoil her. Yesterday at the manor, she kicked the newly made Thunderfire Bombs from the Divine Machine Battalion like a ball, almost blowing the roof off Old Zhang's cabinet. If this continues, the whole land of China won't be enough for her to wreak havoc."

He stood up and walked to the side of the ship.

The sea ahead was completely sealed off by a layer of thick, almost tangible black fog. This was no ordinary sea fog, but a highly poisonous miasma mixed with the death energy of the starry sky and some kind of strange formation. Even experts at the Celestial Realm would lose their way if they rashly ventured in, and would eventually be corroded into bones.

Chen Yanzhou didn't even draw his nameless ancient sword. He raised his right hand, casually joined his index and middle fingers together, and made a light, sweeping stroke from top to bottom across the thick black fog that resembled a city wall.

"break."

As the sound faded, the intent of the sword arose.

There was no earth-shattering shockwave, nor any dazzling brilliance. The highly poisonous fog, capable of swallowing even starships, was like a block of butter sliced ​​open by a hot knife, with a neat, hundred-foot-wide channel split in the middle.

At the end of the passage, an island entirely constructed of black reefs and massive white bones lay silently on the sea, like a dead deep-sea monster. The island was devoid of vegetation and light, and reeked of a nauseating stench.

This is the forbidden place that strikes fear into the hearts of people in the martial arts world—Bat Island.

"Waaaaah..."

As the pleasure boat approached along the passage, a series of shrill wails, like the cries of ghosts, echoed from the depths of the island. Thousands upon thousands of mutated bats, each the size of a calf and with eyes flashing crimson, poured out of the island's openings like a dark cloud, obscuring the only remaining sliver of light.

"Daddy, so many big black birds! They smell awful!"

Xiao Nianrong had already ridden Wangcai back to the deck of the painted boat, pinching her nose with her little hand and snuggling into Huang Rong's arms with a look of disgust.

"Didn't you want to eat roasted bat? What, you think it's ugly?" Chen Yanzhou pinched his daughter's little nose.

"Big Black said their meat is sour and will give you diarrhea if you eat it," Xiao Nianrong said, pointing to Wangcai, who was shaking its head frantically beside it. Although this mutated giant wolf was greedy, it was clearly disgusted by these filthy creatures that exuded deathly aura.

"Then we won't eat it; we'll just burn it as firewood."

Chen Yanzhou glanced up at the overwhelming swarm of bats, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. He lightly tapped his toes on the deck.

"Buzz—"

Centered on the painted boat, a visible golden ripple instantly spread outwards. This was pure, unadulterated chaotic true energy, devoid of any techniques, only pure, overwhelming power.

The thousands upon thousands of mutated bats that swarmed towards the boat couldn't even get within thirty feet of it. The moment they touched the golden ripples, they exploded into puffs of foul-smelling blood mist in mid-air.

Before the blood rain could fall, Chen Yanzhou casually waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept up, shoving all the filth into the sea, leaving not a single drop on the deck of the pleasure boat.

"Dock." Chen Yanzhou ordered calmly.

The giant anchor of the pleasure boat sank into the black sea. Chen Yanzhou, holding his wife's hand, and Huang Rong, holding Xiao Nianrong's hand, the family of three set foot on this island filled with the aura of death, as if they were on a leisurely stroll. Lu Xiaofeng, carrying his sword, followed behind with a wry smile, feeling that he had come here merely as a bag carrier.

The entrance to the island is a massive bronze gate, ten feet high, covered with densely engraved star patterns, flanked by two bizarre stone statues with eight arms.

"Halt!"

A sinister voice came from behind the bronze door. Immediately afterwards, the eyes of the two stone statues suddenly lit up with a ghostly blue light, and they actually came to life. They swung their huge stone arms, and with a sonic boom that tore through the air, they smashed down hard on Chen Yanzhou's family.

"Scrap metal."

Chen Yanzhou didn't even glance at it. The big black dog Wangcai transformed into a five-zhang-long giant wolf and slammed its front paws out. With two loud "bangs," the two stone statues, which were supposedly invulnerable to swords and spears and were protected by the Starry Sky Array, were smashed into pieces of rubble.

"Open the door." Chen Yanzhou gestured with his chin towards Wangcai.

The giant wolf took two steps back, then suddenly accelerated and charged in a savage manner.

"Boom!"

The massive bronze gate, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms and engraved with defensive array patterns, couldn't even withstand a moment's resistance. It was sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the underground palace passage deep within the mountain, crushing a large number of black-clad assassins who were preparing to ambush them.

"Let's go, let's meet this young master Yuan who likes to hide in rat holes." Chen Yanzhou dusted off non-existent dust from his sleeves, took his wife and daughter's hands, and strolled leisurely into the pitch-black underground palace.

The underground palace on Bat Island is known as the most perfect dark prison in the world. There are no windows, no glowing minerals, and not even torches can be lit, because the air is filled with a deathly aura that devours any light.

In the original novel, Yuan Suiyun relied on his ability to locate objects by sound, which he developed from being blind since childhood, to outmaneuver countless martial arts masters here.

"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."

Only the sound of dripping water echoed in the deathly silence deep within the cave.

"It is an honor to have Alliance Leader Chen grace us with his presence. I have failed to greet you properly."

A gentle, refined male voice, yet tinged with a morbid madness, drifted from the depths of the dark underground palace. The voice was elusive, as if people were speaking from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint its location.

"Chen Yanzhou, I admit you are the best in the world at martial arts. But in this underground palace on Bat Island, I set the rules. Without sight, can your sword still be that fast?" Yuan Suiyun's voice carried a hint of mockery.

"This mouse is chattering away, it's so noisy."

Chen Yanzhou ignored the other party's pretentious attitude. He stopped and looked around at the pitch-black darkness with disdain.

"Rong'er, it's too dark here. Be careful, there's mud on your feet, or you'll get your shoes dirty."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yanzhou raised his right foot and lightly stomped on the hard, black rock ground, seemingly casually.

"Thump!"

The entire Bat Island shook violently. This was no ordinary earthquake; rather, Chen Yanzhou's chaotic divine power had directly penetrated the island's crust and pierced through the rock layers connecting to the seabed veins.

"Click click click..."

Countless wide cracks appeared in the ground. The next moment, blinding crimson light erupted from the cracks in the earth—it was magma from the seabed that had been forcibly drawn up!

Under Chen Yanzhou's deliberate control, the scalding lava did not harm the people on the pleasure boat in the slightest. Instead, it spread along the walls and dome of the underground palace like fiery serpents. The extreme heat instantly dispelled the deathly aura that devoured the light, illuminating this supposedly eternally dark underground palace as if it were daytime!

"Ah—my eyes!"

Several piercing screams came from the corner. The Bat Island assassins, who had long lurked in the darkness, were suddenly stimulated by the bright light, their eyes bursting open instantly, leaving them blind and rolling on the ground.

On a white bone throne in the very center of the underground palace, Yuan Suiyun's figure was finally fully exposed to everyone's sight.

However, his current appearance has long since transcended the realm of "human".

Yuan Suiyun's once incomparably handsome face was now covered in black scales. Even more repulsive were the seven or eight eyeballs of different colors embedded in his forehead, cheeks, and even neck! The most conspicuous of them were the pair of eyes in the very center of his forehead, shimmering with an eerie purple light—the purple pupils of the Jade Rakshasa, escorted by the lay disciples of Wudang!

On his chest, a fist-sized, top-grade star crystal core pulsated like a heart, with countless dark red tentacles extending from it and taking root in his flesh.

"Daddy, this blind man looks so casual, like a black man's poop." Little Nianrong peeked out from behind Huang Rong's legs and gave the most devastating assessment without any mercy.

Lu Xiaofeng almost burst out laughing. This little girl's mouth was even more venomous than her father's sword.

Yuan Suiyun's scaly face twisted to the extreme in an instant, all eyes fixed on Chen Yanzhou's family, filled with resentment and madness.

"Chen Yanzhou! You destroyed my darkness!" Yuan Suiyun suddenly stood up, his aura at the peak of the Celestial Realm, mixed with the deathly energy of the starry sky, erupting forth. "But it doesn't matter. I have fused with the most powerful bloodline organs of the Divine Continent and received the blessing of the Starry Sky Ruler. Now, I am an immortal god!"

"Gods?"

Chen Yanzhou sneered, his eyes looking at someone who was mentally challenged. "You think you can fly just by piecing together a bunch of rotten flesh? Even a junk collector looks better than you."

"court death!"

Yuan Suiyun roared, his figure instantly transforming into a cloud of black mist. A strange purple light erupted from his purple pupil, piercing straight towards Chen Yanzhou's brow. This was Yu Luosha's ultimate technique, "Purple Blood Demon Eye," which, combined with the deathly aura of the starry sky, could instantly destroy a martial artist's mind.

At the same time, Yuan Suiyun's two hands transformed into sharp bone claws, tearing through space and directly targeting Huang Rong and Xiao Nianrong's hearts. He knew Chen Yanzhou's terrifying power and attempted to attack where the enemy would inevitably defend.

"You deserve to die for trying to smear my wife's eyes with this pile of junk."

Chen Yanzhou didn't even lift his eyelids. He didn't even use his sword.

Just as the bone claw was about to touch Huang Rong's clothes, Chen Yanzhou extended a finger.

There were no fancy moves, just a simple forward step.

"Pop".

A soft popping sound, like a bubble being punctured.

Yuan Suiyun's supposedly indestructible bone claws vaporized the instant they touched Chen Yanzhou's fingertips. Immediately afterward, an indescribable, terrifying gravitational field descended upon Yuan Suiyun.

"Bang!"

Yuan Suiyun was pressed to the ground in an extremely humiliating position by this invisible force, unable to move even a finger. His prized Starry Sky Crystal Core cracked under the immense pressure.

"This... what kind of power is this... you're not in the Celestial Realm... what kind of monster are you!" Yuan Suiyun's face was covered in blood, and the eyeballs embedded in his face burst open under this gravity, with scum flowing all over the ground, making him look extremely disgusting.

"Big Black, go and dig that rock out, don't let him dirty the ground," Chen Yanzhou instructed.

Wangcai immediately wagged its tail and rushed forward, stepping on Yuan Suiyun's back with one paw. It opened its mouth, and its sharp fangs bit down precisely on the star crystal core on Yuan Suiyun's chest, tearing it out along with those disgusting tentacles.

"Ah—!" Yuan Suiyun let out a bloodcurdling scream, his body convulsing. Without the support of the crystal core, the pieced-together organs began to rot rapidly.

Chen Yanzhou slowly walked up to Yuan Suiyun and looked down at the pile of rotten flesh.

"These eyeballs, were they a gift from the Azure Dragon Society?" Chen Yanzhou's voice was icy. "Tell me, where is that old dog Bai Yujing hiding now?"

"You...you can't know...the Great Dragon Head...the power of the starry sky...the Divine Land will be here sooner or later..." Yuan Suiyun was still gritting his teeth and holding on.

"I hate it when people waste my time."

Chen Yanzhou crouched down and placed his right hand directly on Yuan Suiyun's crown. Golden-blue chaotic true energy was instantly and forcibly poured into his mind.

Forced soul search!

This domineering method will subject the person being searched to torture a hundred times worse than being slowly sliced ​​to death, and their soul will be torn to pieces.

Yuan Suiyun's body convulsed violently, and his screams lasted only three breaths before he fell completely silent. His soul had been utterly crushed by Chen Yanzhou, stripped of even the right to be a ghost.

Chen Yanzhou stood up, took out a clean white silk handkerchief to wipe his hands, and casually threw the handkerchief onto Yuan Suiyun's rotting corpse. Little Nianrong, standing nearby, very sensibly exhaled a mouthful of innate true fire, burning the corpse and the handkerchief to ashes.

"Brother Chen, what did you find out?" Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask as the battle ended so hastily.

A chilling murderous intent flashed in Chen Yanzhou's eyes: "The Azure Dragon Society, what a grand scheme. That old dog Bai Yujing isn't even in Shenzhou."

"Not in China? Then where did he go?"

"In the far north, deep within the icy plains," Chen Yanzhou gazed at the northern dome. "That old bastard, in league with the remnants of the Western Regions Demonic Sect, has unearthed the remains of the ancient Ice Barbarians. They are using a star formation to forcibly detonate the icy veins of the far north. If they succeed, the entire Divine Continent will be dragged into an ice age, becoming a dead star most suitable for the proliferation of alien races."

Lu Xiaofeng felt a chill run down his spine: "Detonate the ley lines in the far north? Do these lunatics want us all to die together?!"

"They won't die, because they already sacrificed their souls to the stars. But..." Chen Yanzhou turned around, pulled Xiao Nianrong into his arms, and curled his lips into an arrogant smile, "Trying to create an Ice Age on my turf? He's not worthy!"

"Let's go back to the pleasure boat. Pass down the order: the Zhenyuan Navy is to turn around and head north."

"Daddy, can we have a snowball fight when we go to the far north?" Little Nianrong clapped her little hands excitedly in Chen Yanzhou's arms, completely unaware of what fear was.

"Yes, Daddy will take you to build the biggest snowman in the world, and use Bai Yujing's head as the snowman's red nose." Chen Yanzhou chuckled, carrying his daughter as he strode out of the already collapsing Bat Island underground palace.

Huang Rong shook her head helplessly; the father and daughter's prenatal education was getting more and more off track. However, looking at that tall figure, she couldn't hide the tenderness in her eyes. With him there, the sky wouldn't fall.
