Martial Arts Showdown: My Wife Asked Me to Be the Champion

Chapter 31 Zhuge Makes His Move, A Stunning Shot

Jiangling... river bandits... Longsha Gang?

Xu Qingya quickly sorted out his thoughts. Most of Shi Wanzhen's subordinates were disciples of the Longsha Gang. Ling Tuisi was imprisoned in a death row cell, and Shi Wanzhen had subdued the Longsha Gang.

Rumors in the martial arts world say that Shi Wanzhen is extremely greedy and will do anything for money. But does the mere Longsha Gang really think it can seize the Liancheng Treasure?

Xu Qingya shouted sternly, "Shi Wanzhen! With this small force, you can't even stop me, so how can you possibly defeat Master Zhuge? What other trump cards do you have?"

"Can you just reveal your hand anytime?"

Shi Wanzhen's face was full of sarcasm and disdain.

Xu Qingya revealed a mocking smile: "Remember this lesson in your next life: don't hide your trump cards. If you play dumb to fool others for too long, you'll eventually get beaten into a pig."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qingya took a half step back, and an arrow fell from the sky. The arrow was as fast as lightning, and Shi Wanzhen was caught off guard and was shot through the throat.

The next second, the arrow exploded with a bang, and Shi Wanchen's head, which was still wide open in death, was blown into the air. Not far away, Liu Qingci nocked an arrow and unleashed a rapid barrage of arrows.

Liu Qingci's martial arts skills were inherited from the Five Tiger Generals, the Ma family spear technique, and the Zhang family lance technique. Therefore, Liu Qingci's archery skills are clearly the Huang family archery technique!

Huang Family Bow Technique - Destroy the Edge!

The first arrow strikes at the enemy's strength, breaking their momentum. Then, a rapid barrage of arrows follows, each as fast as lightning, giving the enemy no chance to breathe and keeping them constantly on the run.

While chatting with Liu Qingci, Xu Qingya learned that apart from the most widely circulated Spring and Autumn Saber Technique and Zhao Family Spear Technique, most of the martial arts passed down by other generals consisted of five moves.

These martial arts techniques were not created by one person at one time, but were modified and perfected by martial artists throughout the ages, pushing the most obvious characteristics of the techniques to their limits little by little.

Spears and bows are both martial arts used on the battlefield. Throughout history, there has never been a shortage of war. With hundreds of years of experience in battlefield conquest, these martial arts are so powerful in killing intent and so rich in baleful energy that they can defeat the enemy simply by relying on their aura.

This is the next move in the Huang family's archery technique.

Huang Family Bow Technique: Facing the Opponent!

Before the arrow is released, its momentum has already arrived.

Using killing intent and murderous aura to oppress the opponent, making them feel as if they have fallen into an ice cave, and their movements become sluggish, is called "the heart is already hit by the arrow before it arrives". Even if the Martial Saint were alive, he could fight to a draw with this arrow, and the two sides would be evenly matched.

Let alone the insignificant Murong Jingyue and Xue Que, even if Shangguan Fei were here, he would not dare to be careless in the slightest.

"Arrows" are far too overpowered in martial arts combat!

Maintaining distance and precise sniping are crucial; even with a significant difference in skill, neither side can escape a fatal arrow.

Liu Qingci's use of these two techniques to kill the enemy was somewhat like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, but when facing a master of poison, one must be so cautious. If you can kill, then kill; you cannot give the opponent any chance, otherwise you will be the one who dies.

After killing three poison masters with three arrows, Liu Qingci put away his bow and arrows, opened his quiver, and several parts flew out, assembling into a long spear and a helmet. Liu Qingci leaped onto his horse and roared as he charged towards the Longsha Gang's water bandits.

With his white horse and long spear, he charged into battle, invincible, like the legendary Ma Chao of Xiliang. How could the bandits of Longsha Gang, who robbed and plundered, possibly stop Liu Qingci?

Xu Qingya drew his sword from its sheath, and the sword roared like a tiger.

Five Tigers Severing the Gate: A Hungry Tiger Capturing a Sheep!

The blade wind locks the acupoints, following like a shadow, relentless until death!

As Xu Qingya drew his sword, the tiger's fierce aura condensed around him, forming a thick protective aura that shielded his vital points like armor.

Two fierce tigers charged into the flock of sheep, slashing and killing indiscriminately, making the sheep cry out in pain. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two tigers had wiped out the Dragon Sand Gang bandits.

Either be torn to pieces, or kneel down and surrender.

At the same time, with the Longsha Gang making their move, those who were blinded by greed finally couldn't resist taking action, attempting to seize a few treasures and hide in the countryside as wealthy men. Even if they were caught by the imperial court, it would be "the law does not punish the masses."

Yan Daping was the first to make a move!

With Bai Yumo and Yan Sanxing killed, Yan Daping has no more helpers. If he doesn't take the initiative, who will risk their lives with him? How can he take advantage of the chaos?

Not many people were encouraged.

Zhuge Zhengwo's reputation was terrifying. He could stand there calmly and casually, and with just a casual glance, he could make countless people tremble with fear and kneel down in surrender.

Seeing Liu Qingci display his skills, Yin Susu was not to be outdone. She swung her claws at Yan Daping's arms, but Yan Daping's sleeves fluttered as he raised his hand and shot out more than a dozen poisonous scorpions.

This is a carefully cultivated "spotted scorpion" that has been fed commercially available scorpion venom antidote since childhood. Through generations of mutation, it has developed resistance to the antidote.

There are more than forty antidotes for scorpion venom on the market, but only one can cure the venom of the spotted scorpion. If you accidentally take another antidote, the toxin will suddenly erupt, causing you to suffer from pain and itching all over your body, and you will cry out in agony for a month before you die.

Yan Daping originally intended to use this against Wan Zhenshan, but now that he was in imminent danger, he could not care about anything else. At the same time, more than a dozen spotted scorpions shot out, along with "red scorpion powder" made from the corpses of scorpions.

Yin Susu sneered, thinking to herself, "I originally wanted to compete with you in martial arts, but you insisted on competing in poison and hidden weapons. Since you're determined to die, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yin Susu reached for the scorpion with her left claws. She had been moving jewelry and was wearing silk gloves, so the scorpion couldn't hurt her at all. She reached into her leopard pouch with her right hand and took out the "mosquito whisker needle" made by the master craftsman of the Eagle Sect.

These silver needles are as thin as silk and as light as a mosquito's antennae. When you are hit by a silver needle, you feel no pain, just like being bitten by a mosquito.

By the time the poisoning was discovered, it was too late.

With a soft squeak, two mosquito-like stingers pierced two poisonous scorpions and struck Yan Daping in the eyes.

Yan Daping cried out "Ah!" and fell to the ground in agony. Just then, Yin Susu threw down two spotted scorpions. Stimulated, the scorpions instinctively stung him with their tails, one in the throat and the other in the chest.

Yan Daping was unable to speak or move, lying on the ground like a zombie. Scorpion venom flowed through his meridians, and the pain of being neither alive nor dead shattered his will to live.

"puff!"

Yan Daping deliberately severed his heart meridian.

Xu Qingya and Liu Qingci dealt with the Longsha Gang. Yin Susu was lured away by Yan Daping. Although Yan Daping was defeated after only one move, it was enough.

Hidden in the shadows, Qi Changfa swung his sword at Qin Nanqin's back. His goal was not to kill her, but to seize the treasure in Qin Nanqin's hands. Qi Changfa had devoted half his life to the Liancheng Treasure and was willing to fight to the death.

Qin Nanqin's martial arts skills were average, but fortunately, she had Tang Dun'er protecting her. With a flash of red light, Tang Dun'er's pair of sharp claws reached for Qi Changfa's eyes. At the same time, Qin Nanqin drew her sword and launched a shoulder stab.

Qi Changfa parried Tang Dun'er's sharp claws with his sword, but Tang Dun'er was incredibly fast. She spread her wings and slapped him twice, while her sharp beak and claws scratched wildly.

Coincidentally, the "Shoulder Thrust" is a move that involves turning around and thrusting backward. Qi Changfa launched a sneak attack from behind, but his vision was blocked by Tang Dun'er's wings, so he didn't see Qin Nanqin draw her sword. Blood gushed from his right shoulder.

With her shoulder injured and her arm weak, Qin Nanqin followed up with a "Sword-Destroying Strike," sending Qi Changfa's sword flying into the air. Tang Dun'er swooped down, her claws slicing across Qi Changfa's face, and pulled out two eyeballs.

"Ah~~"

Qi Changfa screamed and struggled, covering his eyes, shouting and scrambling unsteadily.

Qin Nanqin knew this man was cunning and ruthless, and she would not give him any chance. She turned around and thrust her sword forward. Blood splattered as the sword pierced through Qi Changfa's heart.

"You...you...Master...is this retribution? Mei Niansheng...I..."

Back then, the three brothers joined forces to betray their master, and it was Qi Changfa who delivered the fatal blow. As fate would have it, Qi Changfa was pierced through the back of the sect by Qin Nanqin using the Liancheng Sword Technique. The sword technique he had just learned killed the sect's traitor!

Wan Zhenshan, Yan Daping, and Qi Changfa schemed their entire lives, but in the end, they were "reborn in the Pure Land".

The White Jade Demon was cut in half at the waist.

Shi Wanzhen, Murong Jingyue, and Xue Que were shot and killed by Liu Qingci, and the remnants of the Longsha Gang were wiped out. This treasure hunt seemed to be coming to an end.

The radiance of pearls and jade pierced through the mist.

The clouds dispersed and the fog lifted, and everything returned to calm.

Forget about the Four Wonders of the South and the Four Eccentrics of the North, who dares to meet Zhuge Zhengwo's gaze? Zhao Banshan greeted Zhuge Zhengwo with a chuckle and ordered the Taiji Sect disciples to maintain order to prevent any bad guys from taking advantage of the chaos.

Is it possible that someone hasn't made a move?

Is someone missing?

Is that Zhu Datianwang?

wrong!

Zhu Datianwang is accustomed to patience and is a cunning old fox who likes to play dumb to take advantage of others. He would never make a move if Zhuge Zhengwo had an absolute advantage.

Whom were overlooked?

Just then, an explosion was heard from Tianning Temple, smoke and dust rose everywhere, the entire temple collapsed downwards, followed by three waves of water that crashed down from the sky.

Zhuge Zhengwo laughed, "They've finally arrived! Remnants of the Yuxian Gang, you've finally lost your composure!"

Zhuge Zhengwo has a peaceful personality and abhors solving problems through killing. Even Lei Sun, who had ambushed him, was able to continue serving as the head of the Six and a Half Hall in the capital without any retaliation, as if the incident never happened.

There was one exception.

Encountering Immortals!

A wicked Taoist priest who nearly overthrew the nation!

Any remnants of the Yuxian Gang will be killed without mercy!

"Whoosh!"

Zhuge Zhengwo gently reached out and grabbed Liu Qingci's bright silver spear, then unleashed three spear flowers at the collapsing Tianning Temple in front of him.

"Boom!"

The billowing dust slowly coalesced into a figure, holding a shovel in his hand, with an honest and simple appearance, even more so than Qi Changfa, like an old farmer who tills the land and sells vegetables.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A figure emerged from the waves, holding a three-pronged steel fork. The waves slowly gathered around him, and he carried a poison spray tank on his back, spraying out large swaths of poisonous mist.

They are the Water and Earth disciples of the Yuxian Gang.

A person skilled in burrowing, earthwork, and mechanisms can dig a tunnel in a very short time. If there is already a tunnel, they can also destroy the earth's veins based on it.

One of them is proficient in water escape, breath holding, and water control, and can find water sources in the desert. Together, they can turn the tunnel into an underground river, forming a "ground surge".

After the death of the leader of the Yuxian Gang, the two joined the Sun Moon Sect and became elders of the sect. After receiving an invitation from Qi Changfa, the two wanted to rebuild the Yuxian Gang using the Liancheng Treasure, so they designed a water gate mechanism.

Using the underground passage where Tianning Temple stored its treasures, the surging river was channeled into it. Combining this with the two unique skills of the Yin-Yang School from the pre-Qin period, namely, Huangtian Houtu and Jiushui Fengqi, the power was unleashed in an instant, completely disrupting the situation.

Unfortunately, when they were digging for the treasure, they dug from top to bottom, which destroyed most of the tunnels and reduced the power of the sluice gate by 50%. Not to mention that these jewels were coated with a deadly poison, so who would dare to touch them with their bare hands?

Most importantly, the biggest local power in Jiangling, a sect formed by lay disciples of Wudang, represented by the Taiji Sect, actively helped the imperial court stabilize the situation.

Historically, a local official is more powerful than a county official.

The martial arts world of Jiangling dared to offend Zhuge Zhengwo, since the law does not punish the masses and gentlemen can be deceived by reason. However, they would never dare to offend the Wudang Sect. This resulted in the fact that even when the two of them took action, they did not cause any chaos.

Zhuge Zheng did not say a word more.

Guns drawn, charging, gunfights, bursts of light.

The next moment, the sky and earth were stained red with blood-red gunfire.

That shot was absolutely stunning, unparalleled in its brilliance, so stunning that it will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Therefore, this move is called—A Stunning Shot!
