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

Lin Zhennan's pupils suddenly contracted. He thought that by hardening his heart and getting rid of his burdens, he would be able to gain a place in the martial arts world. He did not expect that the young valley master's martial arts were so profound. He couldn't help but feel glad that he had not chosen to refuse before. The strength of the Bliss Valley was truly unfathomable.

To have such skill at such a young age.

"His skill is still a bit weak, not as good as my elder brother's. If he were to make a move, these few broken chopsticks would be enough to turn their heads into a bloody mist!"

Dan Tianxie said with a hint of regret, then stood up and walked towards the door, followed closely by the others.

He first glanced at the Qingcheng disciple lying in a pool of blood, then his gaze fell on a middle-aged man.

The man was in his thirties with a gloomy face and short stature. He was wrapped up tightly in a large blue Taoist robe, and a dozen or so Qingcheng disciples stood nervously on either side of him.

"Yu Canghai?"

"Yu Canghai!"

Two voices with different meanings rang out: one was Shan Tianxie's question, and the other was Lin Zhennan's voice.

Yu Canghai's face was grim as he coldly said to the two men, "Lin Zhennan, your son killed my son. I will make your entire family die to pay for my son's death! Young hero, this is a personal feud between me and Lin Zhennan. No matter what, you shouldn't interfere!"

"Pah! You shorty, are you trying to teach my young master how to behave?"

Zhou Wuse, unable to stand still any longer, shouted out.

A thought flashed through his mind: he had already been a beat slower than Lin Zhennan in catching the hidden weapon, and he couldn't be any slower now, or Lin Zhennan would climb all over him in the future.

"You shorty?! Hahahaha, how long has it been since I've heard anyone shout that? Die, you shorty!"

Yu Canghai initially thought the man looked somewhat familiar, but as he was trying to recall what he had seen, he was so enraged by the reprimand that he laughed. Since becoming the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, how long had it been since anyone dared to address him like that?

He was by nature prone to wiping out entire families at the drop of a hat, and at this moment he no longer cared about anything else. Regardless of their origins, as long as they were all killed, a single fire would make them all the same.

Without further ado, Yu Canghai decided that none of the Fuwei Escort Agency members would survive today. He drew his longsword, moved swiftly, and charged straight at Zhou Wuse, determined to kill this arrogant fellow first!

The sword light flashed, making it almost impossible to see its shape. It was none other than the Pine Breeze Sword Technique of the Qingcheng Sect, which emphasizes lightness, agility, and skill, and is ranked as a high-grade Xuan-level technique.

"Short in stature, but with a big temper!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Zhou Wuse's eyes. Since advancing to the Innate Realm, he had not yet had a real fight. With a light tap of his toes, he rushed forward like an arrow released from a bow. His movement was even faster than Yu Canghai's. His five fingers formed a claw shape, and blood-red true energy surged out and condensed on it, leaving streaks of blood shadows.

Bang!

The longsword clashed with the claw, producing a metallic clang.

The figures darted about in the arena, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged several blows.

Zhou Wuse gradually gained the upper hand with his Blood-Coagulating Divine Claw, while Yu Canghai became increasingly impatient due to the claw's force. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it! He's actually a master of the Innate Realm. If I had obtained the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, how could I be suppressed by this person like this!" He parried and attacked while calculating how to win.

"Is this all the Qingcheng Sect Leader has to offer? I think he should go back and practice more, or he'll make his master Changqingzi look bad."

Zhou Wuse continued to provoke Yu Canghai verbally, because people tend to make mistakes when they are angry. Although he currently had the upper hand, Yu Canghai's strength was not to be underestimated, and he could not win in a short time, so he resorted to psychological tactics.

"Arrogant fool, today I'll send you to meet the King of Hell!" Yu Canghai gritted his teeth, his anger surging. He instantly withdrew his longsword, then pushed it forward with all his might, the sword's momentum like a rainbow, aimed straight at Zhou Wuse's face.

Zhou Wuse was slightly taken aback, not expecting Yu Canghai to change his attack at this moment, but he remained calm and slightly turned his body to dodge the sword.

However, Yu Canghai seized the opportunity to step forward and suddenly struck out with his palm, unleashing a killing move he had been preparing for a long time.

The palm strike was as powerful as thunder, with a faint black aura emanating from the palm, heading straight for Zhou Wuse's heart.

"Brother Zhou, be careful! It's the Qingcheng Sect's ultimate move, the Heart-Shattering Palm!"

Lin Zhennan spoke up to remind him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wuse's mind raced through the descriptions of this martial art found within the valley.

The heart of the person struck by the palm will shatter into seven or eight pieces, resulting in an extremely gruesome death, somewhat similar to his Blood Coagulation Divine Claw. However, in terms of viciousness, the Blood Coagulation Divine Claw is clearly superior, so what does he have to fear!

Seeing the powerful palm strike coming towards him, Zhou Wuse suddenly gathered his true energy and unleashed the Blood Wind Howl. The blood-red true energy in his claws suddenly surged, and the true energy at the tips of his claws almost solidified into a tangible substance.

It had no intention of backing down and was prepared to strike with its claws, engaging in a head-on collision.

Claws and palms crossed in mid-air, their true energy colliding with each other!

There was a bang.

Yu Canghai's body jolted, and he was sent flying backward. He quickly used his movement technique in mid-air, doing a somersault and landing on the ground. He then took several steps back before regaining his balance, but the faint stinging pain in his palm did not lessen at all.

"Master, are you alright?"

Seeing their sect leader defeated, the Qingcheng disciples, though fearful, rushed forward with their swords to protect him, and asked him with concern.

"fine!"

Looking at the many disciples surrounding him, Yu Canghai felt a surge of satisfaction. He realized that he hadn't taught these disciples in vain. At the same time, he used his inner energy to forcefully suppress the blood rising in his throat.

Even if you lose, you shouldn't lose face; you still need to maintain some dignity in front of your disciples.

He just hadn't expected that the Heart-Shattering Palm, which he had painstakingly cultivated for many years, would be defeated so cleanly and decisively. Who exactly were these people? Where did Lin Zhennan hire these people from?

It seems there's really no way to win today, so the only option is to submit and save my life before trying anything else.

“Master Yu, it seems you will lose your life here today.”

Dan Tianxie said softly, still angry about being interrupted while drinking. He would have to make up for it by taking Yu Canghai's true energy later. He had already seen that Yu Canghai had reached the early stage of the Innate Realm when he attacked.

He could barely manage to suck it up, after all, he wasn't a wasteful person, he would often finish every single grain of rice in his bowl!

"Wait a minute, young master. I was being reckless just now, but it wasn't to the point of a life-or-death struggle. What price has the Lin family offered? I'm willing to pay double! How about it?"

Yu Canghai spoke slowly, feeling that there was still room for discussion, for the world is bustling with activity, all driven by self-interest.

As long as the offer is higher than Lin Zhennan's, everything is negotiable.

Dan Tianxie laughed upon hearing this, "I still hope that Abbot Yu can regain his arrogant demeanor when he takes action. Right now, it's making me a little uncomfortable. As for the price, you can't afford it, because the Fuwei Escort Agency has now joined my Bliss Valley!"

These words shocked everyone present.

Yu Canghai's face turned ashen, and his heart sank. So, he was from Bliss Valley? Lin Zhennan had even sold the Fuwei Escort Agency?

Things have developed too quickly. He only wanted to learn the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique and then use it to his advantage. How did these lunatics from the Bliss Valley show up? Now things are getting complicated.

However, he reacted quickly, knowing that the situation was beyond his control. Only one person on the other side made a move, and he was almost beaten half to death. If the remaining people joined forces, he probably would have died on the spot in less than ten moves.

"Please forgive me, young master, for not knowing that Fuwei Escort Agency has joined your sect. I will definitely visit you with gifts another day to apologize."

Yu Canghai bowed slightly, making his attitude quite respectful.

"Is this the real martial arts world?"

Looking at the formidable enemy that had previously required considerable effort to deal with, now respectfully admitting his mistakes, Lin Zhennan's eyes flashed with a fiery light, and his resolve to make his choice strengthened.

"What does Chief Escort Lin think?"

Dan Tianxie then passed the question to Lin Zhennan, who was standing to the side.

"Taking a step back opens up a vast expanse. The martial world is not just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions. I used to think this was true, but I almost lost my family. Now I realize that it's better to nip problems in the bud than to deal with them at the root!"
