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

Thirty li outside the capital city, on the official road.

Dozens of constables dressed in Six Doors uniforms patrolled around a carriage with tense expressions.

The person in the carriage was none other than Wei Zhongxian, the once all-powerful eunuch.

The three leaders, dressed in flying fish robes and with embroidered spring knives at their waists, were none other than Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan.

"Big brother, is the Swift Wind Catcher almost here yet?"

Shen Lian couldn't help but casually start a conversation. His heart had been on edge the whole way. Now that the capital was not far away, he could finally relax once the Six Doors' Divine Constable Zhui Feng arrived.

Just as Lu Jianxing was about to respond, several figures suddenly appeared at the end of the road. A look of seriousness flashed across their faces, and they said in a deep voice, "Be careful, there are people ahead!"

Everyone immediately became alert, and their eyes all turned to the distance.

A dozen menacing-looking men stood on the road, instantly creating a tense and rigid atmosphere.

These dozen or so burly men were assassins secretly trained by Zhao Jingzhong for many years, specifically to cooperate with Ding Xiu in intercepting and killing Lu Jianxing and his group.

Zhao Jingzhong had already received word that Guo Bujing, the Hero of the Six Doors, had sent his disciple, Zhuifeng, one of the Four Great Constables, to meet the group.

This was his last chance; otherwise, he would have had to flee to other countries.

Among the dozen or so people, the leader was Ding Xiu, who was still as nonchalant as ever, with a long sword slung over his shoulder and a mocking look on his junior brother's face!

"Ding Xiu? What are you doing here!"

Jin Yichuan asked with a surprised look, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

"Good junior brother, don't blame your senior brother for being ruthless. I'm afraid you won't make it through today. Someone is offering money to buy your heads."

Ding Xiu paused for a moment, then grinned mischievously, "They're very generous with their money!"

Upon hearing this, the trio exchanged glances, knowing that today would be a fierce battle. Rather than being passively attacked, they decided to take the initiative and cooperate with the constables from the Six Doors. They might have a chance, and the enemy wouldn't send out a master of innate skill from such an important place as the capital.

"Do it!"

With a low shout from Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan attacked simultaneously.

With a single strike, chaos erupted. Soldiers faced soldiers, generals faced generals, the assassins charged straight at the constables of the Six Doors, while Shen Lian and his two companions confronted Ding Xiu.

Shen Lian charged ahead and arrived in front of Ding Xiu in the blink of an eye, his Embroidered Spring Blade slashing straight at Ding Xiu.

The blade pointed, and it did look quite imposing.

Then Lu Jianxing leaped high into the air and unleashed a sweeping attack, immediately giving Ding Xiu a new hairstyle!

"That's interesting, but not enough!"

With a clang, Ding Xiu drew his longsword, its cold light flashing as he easily blocked the combined attack of Shen Lian and Lu Jianxing.

Immediately afterwards, he swung his sword, heading straight for Shen Lian and Lu Jianxing.

"Don't hurt my eldest brother and second brother!"

Seeing this, Jin Yichuan became anxious and slashed at Ding Xiu's waist with his swallowtail double swords, trying to force him to defend.

Ding Xiu snorted coldly, withdrew his sword, and easily deflected Jin Yichuan's attack.

Immediately, he leaped into the air and kicked Jin Yichuan several meters away.

Unexpectedly, this kick caused Jin Yichuan to fall right into the middle of the fight between the assassins and the constables.

Is there really such a good thing that comes to our doorstep?

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of one of the assassins, and he slashed directly at Jin Yichuan's neck with his blade.

Just as Jin Yichuan was about to lose his life with a swift stroke of the knife,

But at this moment.

Ding Xiu suddenly used his movement technique and appeared in front of him in an instant. A flash of light appeared on his blade, and a clang rang out.

He blocked the assassin's knife for him!

The assassin paused for a moment, a hint of doubt showing in his eyes as he looked at Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu didn't even glance at him, and shouted angrily, "Get out of my way!"

Then, with a burst of strength from both arms, the long sword swept horizontally, and before the assassin could even comprehend what was happening, a flash of light appeared.

I felt a cool sensation on my neck, and then my head rolled to the ground.

The sudden turn of events caught all the assassins off guard. Was it a buddy?

What's going on? Aren't we on the same side? And if you want someone to stop, you should have shouted. I'm not an unreasonable person. Did you shout? Then I started cutting!

Before they could even react, Ding Xiu had already transformed into a demon, slashing across the other assassin in half with another horizontal strike. Blood splattered everywhere, creating a horrifying scene that left everyone present speechless.

The remaining assassins finally realized that one of them had become a traitor!

What was initially thought to be an advantageous ambush operation has now turned into a sudden reversal of fortune.

These loyal warriors truly lived up to the reputation of being trained by Zhao Jingzhong with considerable effort and resources. Even though the situation had reversed, they still fought to the death and refused to retreat!

They all abandoned their respective opponents and charged towards Ding Xiu, but while they were brave, it was undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock.

In the blink of an eye, to the astonishment of Shen Lian and the others, Ding Xiu unleashed his final strike, ending the life of the last assassin.

After glancing at the haphazardly lying corpses, Ding Xiu's eyes turned icy cold. Gripping his blood-stained longsword, he turned and walked towards Jin Yichuan.

"What do you want to do?"

Shen Lian felt as if facing a formidable enemy, gripping his Embroidered Spring Blade tightly.

Although judging from Ding Xiu's performance, it seems impossible to stop him. Only that heartless young master could fight against such martial prowess!

Even if it costs me my life, I must hold them off to buy my third brother a chance to survive!

"Second brother is alright, let him come over, cough cough."

Jin Yichuan said in a low voice, also wanting to know what his senior brother, who usually bullied him, was planning.

Ding Xiu looked at the tense crowd with nonchalant indifference, walked slowly to Jin Yichuan's side, leaned close to his ear and teased, "Just because you put on this uniform, you really think you're a soldier? Why risk your life for a salary of a few dozen taels a year?"

After saying that, Ding Xiu smiled carefree and walked into the distance, saying, "I'm counting on you for the rest of my life, so don't die."

Jin Yichuan was left standing there, stunned.

Less than a moment after Ding Xiu turned and left,

A figure sped towards them from afar, their lightness skill reaching an unparalleled level. Each step they took left afterimages in their wake before slowly dissipating into the air. It seemed as if they were racing against the wind.

.........

Half a month later, in the Valley of Bliss.

Dan Tianxie idly enjoyed the massage from the drizzle while listening to the secret reports coming from the capital.

"So Zhao Jingzhong was eventually arrested? And Ding Xiu is missing? That's interesting."

After hearing the secret report, Shan Tianxie was not surprised by Zhao Jingzhong's fate.

After all, given that Guo Juxia was prepared, Zhao Jingzhong was simply not in the same league as him.

However, a strange feeling arose in my heart regarding Ding Xiu's actions.

Why has this "paying money layman" changed? He's started using the same tactics as Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng. Is this really how the martial arts world should be?

However, after some thought, he decided it was time to prepare to set off for the Five Poisons Sect to retrieve the Golden Snake Sword.

After reclaiming the treasure, he can now prepare to launch his new plan, a new force of his own.

This is an absolutely brand new version that you've never seen before in the martial arts world!

Thinking of this, Shan Tianxie immediately said, "Xiyu, go and make arrangements to prepare for departure. Our target is the Five Poisons Sect."

The reason I didn't call Ji Wuming and the others this time is because they've all been called away by my older brother to handle other matters recently.

After all, the Bliss Valley is such a large force that it has a lot of things to deal with in all aspects.
