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

Zhang Mansion.

Although the residence of Imperial Censor Zhang Haiduan was not as magnificent as those of other princes and nobles, it was still quite impressive.

In front of the gate stood two majestic stone lions, behind which was a large gate made of solid wood wrapped in iron and painted red, with two large characters written on the lintel: "Zhang Mansion".

The night was pitch black, and all around was quiet.

Suddenly, several dark figures appeared silently, quickly ran to the wall of Zhang's mansion, cleanly and neatly threw out grappling hooks, and easily scaled the high wall.

These were just ordinary assassins from the Black Stone organization, used to eliminate maids and servants who didn't know martial arts.

As for Imperial Censor Zhang and Zhang Renfeng, Lian Sheng and Lei Bin personally took action.

Lian Sheng and Lei Bin walked to the entrance of Zhang Renfeng's courtyard. Looking at the courtyard, which was completely silent in the darkness, a sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Lei Bin, something seems off. It's too quiet! This is supposed to be an official's family, how come there's not a sound?"

Renju's sixth sense, honed over many years, gives him an extremely high level of trust in his own feelings.

The small courtyard in front of me was eerily quiet, like a wild beast waiting to devour its prey!

"Hahaha, Lian Sheng, no wonder people often say that the older you get, the more timid you become. Little Zhang Renfeng, what do I, Lei Bin, have to fear!"

Lei Bin looked at Lian Sheng, who was looking cautious, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Look at the more than one hundred brothers behind us! The advantage of one hundred to one is in my hands. We'll kill any expert in the early stage of the Innate Realm!"

Besides, this operation was extremely secretive, so how could Zhang Renfeng have known about it? It's laughable.

"Stop dawdling, watch me! Follow me!"

Lei Bin shoved the magician aside and immediately ordered a charge, while he himself led the charge.

One hundred assassins in black followed Lei Bin and rushed into the courtyard.

Lian Sheng showed no intention of going in, standing quietly outside the courtyard. A thought flashed through his mind: it would be good to let Lei Bin, that brute, scout ahead. Something was very wrong with the Zhang residence today.

Just then, screams rang out from inside the courtyard, and Lei Bin rushed out covered in blood.

It turns out that Shan Tianxie had previously sent disciples from the Bliss Valley to install countless hidden weapons around the courtyard. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't make too much noise in the capital, they would have used their old partner, the Thunderfire Bomb!

However, the hidden weapons alone were enough to give these assassins a hard time, instantly killing most of the Black Stone's ordinary assassins, leaving only Lei Bin to barely escape.

"There is indeed an ambush!"

Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on Lian Sheng's face. Now let's see if Lei Bin still dares to use his age as an excuse. Does a young man understand the ways of the old hand? Doesn't he understand the saying that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure?

The smile vanished in an instant, because someone who should never have been there at this time and in this place appeared in the courtyard!

A graceful figure slowly emerged from the darkness—a familiar person, a familiar sword.

"Fine Rain??? What are you doing here!"

Lian Sheng was shocked. How could Xi Yu, who had disappeared for so long, be here? There must be a conspiracy! There must be a conspiracy!

Xi Yu did not answer. With a light tap of her toes, she drew the Water-Splitting Sword. With the support of her inner strength, the soft sword instantly became indestructible. She unleashed the Forty Forms of the Water-Splitting Sword Technique, which directly enveloped Lian Sheng.

Before Lian Sheng could react, many small wounds appeared around him.

Fortunately, Lei Bin, who was injured nearby, intervened, throwing several flying needles directly into Xi Yu's eyes, interrupting Xi Yu's offensive rhythm.

With a flick of her wrist, Xi Yu heard a series of clanging sounds as the flying needles collided with the sword, sparks flying everywhere. The remnants of the flying needles scattered on the ground. Xi Yu was unharmed, but her swordplay faltered. Lian Sheng seized the opportunity to retreat hastily.

"So, you little drizzle, you actually want to keep Rama's remains all to yourself? Well then, I won't be polite!"

Even after racking his brains, Lian Sheng could only think of this one possibility. He immediately drew the two swords from his waist, crossed them, and slashed them forcefully.

Bang!

The two swords clashed together, producing a piercing sound. Then, flames suddenly erupted from both swords, making them seem like weapons from another world.

This is Lian Sheng's unique sword technique, a Yellow-rank skill that combines magic tricks with martial arts—the Flowing Fire Double Swords.

With a single, powerful strike, he cleaved Mount Hua, his twin blades aimed straight for Xi Yu's head! As he cleaved, a mechanism beneath his clothing activated, instantly unleashing a fireball. Xi Yu dodged it, and with a backhand thrust, aimed for Lian Sheng's throat. The blade curved, resembling a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

The first move is a killer move!

Lian Sheng quickly sheathed his sword and returned to defense. The swords clashed, and both sides retreated several steps. They looked at each other, Xi Yu remained expressionless, and Lian Sheng glanced at the injured Lei Bin.

"This is bad. Xi Yu is Black Stone's number one assassin. Now Lei Bin is injured, and I am also injured. If we don't run away, I'm afraid my old bones will be finished."

On a whim, Lian Sheng decided to retreat first, saving his life for when he could be of use.

"Divine Rope! Rise!"

Lian Sheng put away his twin swords, took out a thin rope from his pocket, muttered some incantations, and threw the rope into the air.

The rope seemed to have a life of its own, straightening up and standing upright like a pillar.

At the same time, with the other hand outstretched, a white cloud suddenly appeared in the night sky, directly covering the top of the rope.

"The Immortal's Rope!" A legendary skill in martial arts!

Ordinary ropes can disappear without a trace once they use this trick to climb to the top of the rope and enter the clouds.

Although it was just a trick of the trade, under his improvement, it has become a unique skill exclusively for him. To outsiders, it seems like a divine technique, and to this day, no one has been able to decipher its secrets.

Lian Sheng had just jumped onto the rope and was preparing to climb into the clouds when Lei Bin, who was standing nearby, rushed over to grab the end of the rope. Unexpectedly, Lian Sheng grabbed the rope with one hand and pulled out a single-edged sword with the other, slashing at Lei Bin's hand.

"Lian Sheng! What do you mean?"

Lei Bin quickly stepped back, looking at Lian Sheng with disbelief, after all, he had just saved Lian Sheng's life.

"Hehe, Lei Bin, since you're already seriously injured, you can stay here. I'll take my leave first! I'll naturally report to the leader later and avenge you!"

Lian Sheng chuckled, and after forcing Lei Bin back, he prepared to continue climbing.

Suddenly, a powerful punch came from his chest. The force of the punch was astonishing. Even before the punch arrived, the wind it generated made his clothes flutter loudly.

"what!"

Lian Sheng already sensed that something was wrong.

With a "bang," before Lian Sheng's laughter could even fade, he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

"Cough...cough, who is it..." He tried several times but could not stand up. His chest was cracking, and his spine seemed to be injured, causing him to almost faint from the pain.

Lei Bin was also shocked. Lian Sheng had been so badly injured by a single punch! He must be at least a mid-to-late stage expert of the Innate Realm! The Zhang family has such an expert? Then this operation is just a waste of time.

"Da da da"

Several figures slowly walked out of the courtyard. The one in the lead was Shan Tianxie, dressed in a green robe, his black hair dancing wildly in the wind. He stopped in front of Lian Sheng.
