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

Chapter 44: Are there still formidable enemies who can make me suffer a defeat?

The debate raged on, and the scene was extremely intense.

Xu Qingya was getting drowsy listening to the conversation, and cursed the martial arts world in the capital as a real pain in the ass. They had been exchanging words for so long, but no one was in a hurry to take action. It was all just empty talk.

Lei Dongtian threatened coldly, "When two tigers fight, to prevent the hunter from profiting, they often cooperate first to devour the hunter alive, and then fight to the death!"

Yang Yan shook her head: "Master Lei! A life-or-death struggle is impossible. Lord Zhu, Constable Jin, and Lord Zhang will not allow such a thing to happen in the capital."

"His Majesty has been on the throne for three years, and the realm is at peace. Auspicious omens have appeared frequently in various prefectures and counties. If anyone were to cause trouble in the capital at this time, it would be a slap in His Majesty's face!"

Zhu Yueming smiled: "You're right! The most important thing for the capital is stability. If you want to fight, you can fight outside the city. Don't disturb the people!"

Zhang Fengfu shouted sternly, "Di Feijing invited me to be a witness not to witness the dispute between Liufenbantang and Linglongge, but to probe my background."

I'm telling you clearly and unequivocally, if a devastating fire were to break out in the capital, the Embroidered Uniform Guard would absolutely arrest the mastermind behind it and execute their entire family!

Jin Jiuling shrugged: "I am neither one of the Four Great Constables nor a Commander, so I have no power. For the sake of the people's peace, I can only trouble my disciples and their descendants."

If anyone wants to cause trouble, I can only send my disciples and their followers to patrol the streets, with each constable about thirteen or fourteen feet long, and each equipped with a whistle.

Lei Dongtian was by no means a hot-tempered and easily angered brute. He had just deliberately acted impulsively, but now that he had tested the bottom line of the three adults, his expression quickly became amiable.

Lei Dongtian knew that both the Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard hoped to maintain stability and strictly prohibit fierce battles.

In the short term, the imperial court does not want the Six and a Half Hall and the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion to fight to the death. Before Su Mengzhen's lifespan is exhausted, the two sides will at most engage in minor skirmishes.

That being the case...

Lei Dongtian looked at Xu Qingya with a cold smile.

"Fairy Jinghong, may I ask who this gentleman is? And what is his relationship with Linglong Pavilion?"

"He is the Vice Pavilion Master of Linglong Pavilion, Young Master Xiao, my fellow disciple, and also my fiancé!"

The name Xiao Selang was too frivolous and seemed too pretentious; it was obviously fake. Yang Yan changed a few words, and it sounded much better.

Before she could finish speaking, Yin Susu crushed the teacup, Lian Nishang's eyes flashed with malice, and Hua Baifeng looked at Yin Susu and Lian Nishang curiously, "What's wrong with you two?"

Especially Lian Ni Chang!

Do you know "Xiao Langjun"?

What do you have to be angry about?

Aren't you the "White-Haired Witch"? You've taken a fancy to this young master Xiao, hurry up and snatch him up the mountain!

Hua Baifeng thought the two of them were out of their minds, either they were filled with water or they had been kicked ten times by a donkey.

Lei Dongtian laughed, "Young Master Xiao? I wonder if Mr. Xiao could display some of his skills and let the heroes of the capital witness the swiftness of the Fairy Jinghong's blade!"

"Want to fight?"

Xu Qingya snapped out of his drowsiness: "It's too much trouble to go up one by one. Anyone who wants to come, come on over! I've been practicing my sword for ten years, and my bones are practically bursting with pent-up energy!"

Yang Yan said softly, "Just a reminder, my junior brother practices battlefield martial arts, and he can be a bit heavy-handed. If he can't control himself, please don't blame him, Hall Master Lei!"

"Well said! Well said!"

The fourth hall master, Lei Hen, soared into the air, his right fist flashing with lightning, and slammed heavily towards the top of Xu Qingya's head.

Lei hated it very much.

He spent his whole life hating people.

It takes longer to hate someone than to love someone, especially since he hates more people than he knows, because he can hate people he's never even met.

Sometimes, he even hates himself.

There are only two people in the world that Lei hates.

The head of the main hall, Lei Hen, was shocked, and the grand hall master, Di Feijing, was surprised.

A person who is constantly filled with resentment will surely exhaust himself over it. Therefore, Lei Hen was as thin as a dried purple eggplant, and two blue veins on his temples were constantly throbbing.

Lei hated Xu Qingya for not knowing him, but he deeply resented Xu Qingya for disrupting things, for hindering the expansion plan of the Six and a Half Hall, for looking down on the Six and a Half Hall, and for Xu Qingya being alive.

This hatred has reached its limit.

His dry hair stood on end like a volcanic eruption, veins throbbed on his forehead, and purplish-red blood vessels coiled like earthworms on his brow, while his palms crackled with lightning flames.

In the underworld of Beijing, everyone knows that anyone who dares to provoke Lei Hen's wrath is tantamount to setting themselves on fire.

Yang Yan commented on Lei Hen: He is the purest person in the Six and a Half Hall. Compared with the cunning Lei Sun, the unfathomable Di Feijing, and the masked Lei Mei, Lei Hen is the one who is truly without flaws.

No one, thing, or event could pose the slightest threat to Lei Hen. Schemes are for clever people; to deal with a brute filled with rage, the only option is to use fists and the strongest attack to utterly defeat Lei Hen.

At the very point where Lei Hen was most triumphant, he was dealt the most devastating defeat. From that moment on, this defeat became his Achilles' heel, and from now on, whenever Lei Hen thought of this crushing defeat, he would instantly lose his will to fight.

"boom!"

Xu Qingya released his aura without reservation, and blood-red energy rose from his body. The murderous aura, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, slowly condensed and formed hideous demonic patterns.

Lei Hen's powerful punch, imbued with true energy, was dispelled by Xu Qingya's aura. Xu Qingya flicked his cloak with his left hand and suddenly drew his sword with his right, unleashing a blood-red blade strike through the air.

Wei Family Knife Manual: The Vow!

The saying originates from Wei Yan's bold words while guarding Hanzhong: "If Cao Cao brings the whole world to attack, I will defend Your Majesty; if he sends a hundred thousand troops, I will devour them for Your Majesty!"

Arrogant and haughty, with blood and energy like a dragon.

They only attack and never defend; they advance but never retreat.

The Wei Family Sword Manual and the "Tiger Fiend" formed when the Five Tigers Severing the Gate Sword are practiced to the extreme have a very high compatibility. When the two are combined, a bloodthirsty and arrogant aura is naturally generated, causing one's blood and qi to surge.

When Xu Qingya activated this sword technique, the Pan family's ancestral Ice Jade Blade was no longer a treasured blade that could cut through iron like mud and defeat enemies, but was used to stabilize his mind.

Based on the pure energy of the Heavenly Pool Divine Palm and powered by the cold energy of the Ice Jade Blade, the ever-flowing cold energy flows through the eight extraordinary meridians, which is the only way to resist the impact of the evil energy of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. If the evil energy is drawn into the brain, one will be instantly transformed into a demon.

This strike, with its imposing momentum, grand spirit, lofty demeanor, boiling blood, and sharp energy, was dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than Lei Hen's. How could the rage ignited by Lei Hen alone compare to the raging sea of ​​blood?

Lei Hen stared in horror at the crimson waterfall cascading down in front of him, astonished to see the gentle and refined young man transform into a bloodthirsty monster in an instant. Where did this monster come from? Could he possibly have demonic blood?

"I don't believe you, open it now!"

Lei Hen gritted his teeth and unleashed a desperate "Palm Thunder" technique, using his remaining strength to hasten his death.

This method is not a Taoist technique for exorcising demons, but rather involves concealing firearms in the palm of the hand, combining them with the force of thunder and lightning to unleash the divine power of heavenly thunder and earthly fire, shattering the enemy in one blow.

The Lei family of the Thunderbolt Hall had an unprecedented level of expertise in firearms research. This unique skill of using firearms to assist palm strikes was an eye-opener for Xu Qingya.

Palm Thunder - Five Thunderbolts Strike!

Under Xu Qingya's pressure, Lei Hen's move was several times more powerful than when he was practicing. Even he himself did not expect that he had such potential.

As the lightning dissipated and the blade's edge shattered, Lei Hen was about to catch his breath when he saw that the blood energy had not dissipated but instead returned to Xu Qingya's acupoints, absorbing and exhaling the primordial energy of heaven and earth, instantly replenishing the damage from the previous attack.

In the martial arts world, it is not uncommon to use moves that injure oneself before injuring the enemy, or to fight to the death. However, such moves are only used when one is in dire straits. Even if one can defeat the opponent, one will either die or be crippled. How can one heal while fighting?

Wei Family Sword Manual: Drinking Battle!

The blade's edge traced an arc on the ground, sending shards of stone and sharp arrows hurtling towards Lei Hen's face. He was completely defenseless; even his protective aura had dissipated, leaving only an overwhelming barrage of blade light.

I will slay the strong enemy and crush the heavily armored!

Arrogance and haughtiness cannot be greater than this!

"Boom!"

Lei Hen's lifelong cultivation of lightning energy was shattered like a watermelon by the blade's edge. A flash of blood appeared, and the blade slashed from his left shoulder to his right rib, leaving a bloody gash.

"I...you...won!"

Lei Hen swayed a few times and then collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Xu Qingya did not kill him, but the cold air from the Ice Jade Blade invaded Lei Hen's internal organs, freezing half of Lei Hen's body. Healing Lei Hen was not difficult, but he would inevitably suffer from a serious illness for three to five months and be weak for one or two years.

Having annihilated Lei Hen in two moves, Xu Qingya glared at Lei Dongtian with bloodshot eyes, looking like a demon: "Who's next? Or perhaps you intend to use a series of attacks?"

Lei Dongtian sneered, "You brat, so young yet so arrogant! Today I'll teach you a lesson. The capital isn't a place for you to run wild!"

"Enough with the nonsense, come up on stage if you dare!"

"I've arrived!"

Lei Dongtian soared into the air, using the force of his descent to unleash a "Palm Thunder" attack. His left hand crackled with lightning, while his right hand's five fingers were hidden in his sleeve.

Ordinary people would retreat in the face of this move, waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out. Even Su Mengzhen was no exception. However, Xu Qingya was determined to advance and slash at Lei Guang with his sword.

"boom!"

As the sword and fist clashed, the lightning dissipated, and Lei Dongtian's protective aura was shattered, leaving a gruesome sword mark on the back of his left hand. However, instead of showing fear, he revealed a cunning smile of triumph. At the very moment of the clash of powerful attacks, Lei Dongtian's right wrist erupted with sword light.

There shouldn't be any flashing of blades here.

This knife shouldn't be here.

But then, a flash of light appeared.

Therefore, this knife is named—"Shouldn't!"

The Demon Blade!

Lei Sun's personal weapon, the most infamous demonic blade in the martial arts world. The blade itself is not a demonic weapon, but Lei Sun's fondness for backstabbing has tarnished its reputation.

Martial artists, martial arts skills, and weapons have always complemented each other. For example, the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms" is far more famous than the "Dog-Beating Staff Technique," but the Dog-Beating Staff Technique is the exclusive martial art practiced by the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

Sure enough, as soon as the word "should not" was uttered, the entire Ascension Platform was enveloped in a strange color. The "should not" knife itself had no color, but it would appear to different people depending on their personalities.

Some people think the blade emits a dim black light, some think it's like lightning, some think it transforms into an ochre-colored flying dragon, and some think it's a kaleidoscope of colors.

With a blade in hand, Lei Dongtian's fighting spirit exploded several times over, and his killing intent was no less fierce than Xu Qingya's previous two strikes. Xu Qingya lost the initiative and was entangled by the blade light, seemingly at a complete disadvantage.

Just then, the Ice Jade Blade appeared unexpectedly, striking from an absolutely impossible angle. This move exposed all his vital points to the blade's light, showing extreme daring. However, when he thrust the blade out, the light was fierce and devastating.

Just by looking at the intention behind the move, one can tell that this move is called:

—A brilliant plan!

The previous vertical slash was a feint, a deceptive move; the real key move is the counter-attack.

If the enemy is determined to fight back with an attack, both sides will inevitably suffer heavy losses. However, if the enemy shows even the slightest bit of fear, their momentum will collapse completely.

Lei Dongtian was more than 30 years older than Xu Qingya. He had struggled for most of his life and had experienced everything he needed to experience. So, exchanging his life for a younger one would naturally be a huge advantage for him.

However, Lei Dongtian has experienced too much and enjoyed too much wealth and glory. Unless it is a matter of life and death for the Lei family of Liufenbantang, why would he risk his life?

If you're not brave enough to risk your life, then stop.

A sinister smile appeared on Xu Qingya's lips, and the blood in his eyes solidified into a tangible form, scattering as crimson lightning.

Wei Family Knife Manual: Loyalty and Pride!

The blade flashed like a blood moon, unleashing three consecutive slashes, while his feet swirled and circled around it, followed by another three consecutive slashes.

This relentless fighting is just the beginning of a winning streak!
