Martial Arts Crossover: Something's Wrong with This Evil Sect

"Did that stall owner and that old man have a problem?"

After the two left the stall, Xi Yu asked in a cold voice.

Dan Tianxie's face was frosty, and his expression was terrible. "Damn it! We almost capsized in the gutter!"

Looking at the stolen glance from the drizzle,

He continued, "Have you ever heard of Granny Xiong's candied chestnuts? If that old man hadn't intervened just now, Tongfu Inn would probably be hosting a feast tomorrow! What a pair of red shoes!"

Recalling what had just happened, Shan Tianxie was filled with rage. "You damn Gongsun Da Niang! You've started killing indiscriminately right up to my head! You don't respect my elder brother at all!" he thought. "If it weren't for that fat old man intervening, Xi Yuren would have been dead on the spot."

That fat old man didn't seem like a simple person either. Some people had previously speculated that this old man was the infamous Immoral Taoist, whose cultivation had returned to its original simplicity. He was rumored to be a figure comparable to Zhang Sanfeng. It's no wonder that so many experts had fallen for his tricks in Qixia Town.

After this incident, the two lost all interest in sightseeing and hurriedly returned to the inn.

"Hey, Brother Shan, you're back! Come on over, everyone's waiting for you to have dinner."

As soon as he returned, Bai Zhantang greeted him with a big smile.

Although Shan Tianxie was in a bad mood, he did not take his anger out on the others.

He forced a smile and said, "Everyone, you don't need to wait for me anymore. Xiyu, please help wash the dishes after you finish eating."

"okay."

Xi Yu responded expressionlessly, and the people at the inn were used to her temper.

After they finished their rather salty dinner, Shan Tianxie went back to his room to sulk. Xi Yu and the others stayed behind to clean up. Li Dazui was the first to put down his chopsticks and ran to the door in a flash: "Why hasn't this person come yet, it's so late?"

Who are you waiting for?

Seeing Li Dazui's anxious look, Bai Zhantang couldn't help but ask.

"Shangguan Yundun! Is he not coming?" Li Dazui didn't even turn his head and continued, "An assassin who's not punctual? His professional skills, tsk tsk, if he doesn't come soon we'll be closing up shop."

As she spoke, she even started singing, "Come quickly~ I can't take it anymore, come quickly..."

Just then, a smiling man walked over from the doorway. He was dressed in black and had a broad smile on his face.

"Here she comes, here she comes! Good evening, everyone. Excuse me, is Miss Guo Furong here?"

These words immediately drew the attention of the entire inn, and the inn fell silent.

Bai Zhantang was the first to react and asked, "May I ask what business you have with her?"

"My name is Shangguan Yundun. I'm here for nothing important, just to take her life." Seeing everyone standing there dumbfounded, he wasn't angry and continued, "Please inform them that this is my calling card. I look forward to your guidance."

Shangguan Yundun took out his calling card and respectfully handed it to Bai Zhantang.

The name card read: Tiancan Sect - Top Assassin Shangguan Yundun!

Bai Zhantang shielded everyone behind him. After passing the name cards around, he threw them on the ground. Shangguan Yundun wasn't angry; he simply bent down and picked them up.

"You are Shangguan Yundun?"

Bai Zhantang spoke first.

"It is indeed I, your humble servant. May I ask who you are?"

Before Bai Zhantang could answer, Lü Xiucai blurted out, "He is the Saint of Thieves, the legendary Saint among thieves!"

Tong Xiangyu added, "He's incredibly tough on you; you don't know, but I can tell you."

"Oh, Bai Yutang?! You've taken on a job too? Here, this one's yours, I'm off?"

Shangguan Yun asked with a smile, while also observing whether the person in front of him was indeed the long-lost Thief Saint Bai Yutang.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll protect Xiao Guo's life!"

Bai Zhantang spoke with absolute certainty.

"Hehe, no, no, let's discuss it again." Seeing everyone's refusal, he changed the subject, "Since that's the case, then I'll just have to send you all to the Western Paradise together, so that Miss Guo won't be lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs."

As soon as Shangguan Yundun finished speaking, he cleared the table of food and filled it with his murder tools, and began to introduce to everyone the hanging rope with a 99.99% customer satisfaction rate.

Seeing his focused introduction and having heard of Shangguan Yundun's reputation, Xiyu knew that he was extremely cruel. She quietly circled around behind him and struck Shangguan Yundun with a palm, but unfortunately, her internal strength had only recovered to the level of a second-rate master.

A cold glint flashed in Shangguan Yundun's eyes. He turned to the side and struck Xiyu on the back with a backhand.

A metallic taste suddenly filled Xi Yu's throat. She slumped onto the table, a trickle of blood slowly oozing from the corner of her mouth.

When the people in the inn saw that Xi Yu was injured, they were both surprised and delighted. They were surprised by Shangguan Yundun's high level of martial arts, as Xi Yu's sneak attack had not been able to harm him in the slightest. They were delighted because, given Shan Tianxie's protectiveness, he would definitely want to test his skills against Shangguan Yundun after seeing this.

"Oh dear, you little girl, you're quite pretty, but you're not cute at all. Once I'm done with my work, I'm going to torture you for three days and three nights!"

Shangguan Yundun glanced at Xiyu and thought, "Such a beautiful woman, if I were to torment her, it would surely be quite an experience."

"Oh? You dare to spout nonsense after touching my maid? You've already committed suicide."

Hearing the commotion below, Shan Tianxie, who was in the room, went out and saw Xi Yu lying on the table with a stinging smear of blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Another expert? I wonder who this expert is?"

Shangguan Yundun looked at Shan Tianxie, who was slowly walking down the stairs, and asked with a smile, "What kind of strength can a young man have?"

"The person who hit me asked who I am?"

Dan Tianxie didn't bother with any more words. He took a step forward and made the first move, unleashing a Ghost King Fist in mid-air. The punch was so powerful that it created a sonic boom.

"Good punch!"

Shangguan Yundun's eyes lit up, and he gathered true energy in both palms, instantly meeting the attack head-on with the Heavenly Crippled Palm!

The Heavenly Cripple Palm is a unique martial art of the Heavenly Cripple Sect. Legend has it that the master of the Heavenly Cripple Sect observed the Heavenly Cripple Kick and the Tathagata Palm duel, gleaned three-tenths of their essence, and combined it with his own martial arts to create the Earth-rank low-grade Heavenly Cripple Palm.

Their palms met, and their internal forces clashed, resulting in a temporary stalemate. However, the tables and chairs were unfortunately blown apart by the aftershocks of their internal force, sending splinters flying everywhere.

"My precious rosewood table! My precious century-old staircase!"

Tong Xiangyu, standing to the side, cried out in distress.

"Don't be sad, shopkeeper. Money is just an external thing!"

Everyone quickly stopped Tong Xiangyu to prevent her from going up and causing trouble.

Seeing that the comedic character in the original work was so fierce, Shan Tianxie secretly used the Star Absorbing Technique. No serious person would call out a name before unleashing a powerful attack, but he certainly wouldn't.

Shangguan Yundun, as expected of the number one expert of the Tiancan Sect, had been through countless battles in the martial world for so long. Instantly, he felt his true energy surging and rushing towards his opponent.

"Huh? The Star Absorbing Technique?! Kid, let me show you the Heavenly Crippled Heart Sutra!"

Shangguan Yundun, as expected of his extensive knowledge, immediately recognized Shan Tianxie's martial arts.

He remained completely calm, his true energy surging forth as if he were deliberately sending it to Shan Tianxie. However, as streams of true energy flowed into Shan Tianxie's meridians, Shan Tianxie felt as if countless silver needles were constantly piercing him.

''not good!"

Dan Tianxie secretly realized something was wrong. He hadn't expected that Shangguan Yundun's true energy would have a sharp attribute, which was precisely the flaw of the Star Absorbing Technique.

Before reaching perfection, one is easily countered by this kind of true energy with attributes. In the original story, Zuo Lengchan deliberately cultivated the Frost True Energy to deal with the Star Absorbing Technique. At this moment, he only felt a faint pain in his meridians. If he continued, he was afraid he would be defeated first. He quickly withdrew the Star Absorbing Technique and used the Ghost King Fist to fight back.

However, Shangguan Yundun was no ordinary person. With a swift movement, he dodged the attack like lightning, and the situation became tense for a moment.

"We're still missing a martial art that can decide the outcome with a single strike."

Dan Tianxie was secretly getting anxious.

[Ding! Mission complete, reward issued.]

Just then, a mechanical system notification sounded.

"Hmm? The escort agency delivered the silver to Bliss Valley!" Shan Tianxie's lips curled up slightly; this was another sure thing.

He quickly used his movement technique to avoid Shangguan Yundun's attack and ran upstairs. He had been so busy showing off that he forgot to grab his sword!

"You think you can run now? Too late! Once I catch you, I'll torture you for seven days and seven nights to vent my anger!"

When Shangguan Yundun saw that Shan Tianxie had run away, he was about to chase after him upstairs. This kid was young but his kung fu was not bad, but he lacked fighting experience. If he had some powerful backer when he got back, he would be in great danger.

High-level assassins never leave themselves any future troubles.

At that moment, Bai Zhantang, who had been hiding, finally made his move.
