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

Chapter 13 The power of a single strike can shake rivers and seas.

In the main hall of the Ling residence, Ling Tuisi and Zhuge Zhengwo were enjoying flowers, admiring the moon, drinking wine, and discussing poetry, creating a lively and bustling scene.

In the backyard of the Ling residence, Mu Qingxia clutched her chest, coughing up large amounts of blood, her aging visible to the naked eye.

To be honest, the Yuxian Gang is not a heretical sect. Mu Qingxia's cultivation method is a legitimate Xuanmen sect. However, in order to maintain her youthful appearance, Mu Qingxia also practiced demonic arts.

The core concept of demonic arts is to harm others for personal gain, plundering the essence and blood of others to strengthen oneself. One must constantly replenish one's essence and blood, and the amount required will increase over time.

A stunning beauty, as lovely as a peach, and a scholar's wife skilled in gardening, is theoretically nothing more than a poisonous insect crawling in a dark sewer!

Xu Qingya destroyed the channels for capturing children, and after three days of not being able to replenish his qi and blood, he was on the verge of backlash when Zhui Ming caught him by the tail and was forced to fight Zhui Ming.

After the fierce battle, the backlash came immediately: his temples turned dry and white, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Mu Qingxia barely managed to steady her breathing and stumbled towards Ling Shuanghua's room. She needed two pairs of virgins, a boy and a girl, for each of her training sessions.

Unfortunately, Mu Qingxia was a fugitive, and Ling Tuisi was paranoid and didn't need a maid to serve him. The only ones who met the requirements were Ling Shuanghua and her maid Chuntao.

The issue of "virgin boys" is relatively easy to discuss.

The servants, cooks, and grooms of the Ling family were all disciples of the Dragon Sand Gang, people they knew well. To guard against any unexpected events, Mu Qingxia had already made preparations.

Inside the young lady's boudoir, Ling Shuanghua was reminiscing about her first encounter with Ding Dian. Unconsciously, two blushes appeared on her face, which drew a teasing laugh from Chun Tao.

"Oh my gosh~ The young lady is getting married! I just wonder if that big guy pacing outside the door will have the guts to come and propose. It's really a dilemma!"

"Chuntao, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not making this up, Miss. You should have been betrothed long ago. In another two years, you'll be an old maid, and even Granny Cai might not dare to arrange a marriage for you!"

"Say that again and I'll tear your mouth apart..."

"Miss... I've inquired... That handsome young man is named Xu Qingya. He seems gentle and refined, but he's actually quite ruthless. I heard he's in Luoshui..."

I'm not going to say anything more, I'm afraid I'll scare you!

The tall man was named Ding Dian. He was a wealthy horse trader from outside the Great Wall. He was very good at business, but he was clueless in other areas. He had been wandering around for three hours.

Don't worry, Miss, I just gave him a heads-up!

He'll be here with flowers in a minute!

Look by the wall, there he is, holding a pot of yellow peonies. What's so great about yellow peonies? No matter how beautiful the peonies are, they can't compare to the beauty of you, Miss…”

Chuntao chattered and pointed at the top of the wall.

Ling Shuanghua looked over shyly, and sure enough, Ding Dian was holding flowers, slowly climbing the wall, gently placing the flowerpot on the top of the wall, but not daring to say a word.

Chun Tao was slightly annoyed: "Honestly! A grown man like you doesn't dare to take the initiative, so you expect Miss to take the initiative? I thought he was a good match, but it turns out he's a fool!"

Ling Shuanghua was too ashamed to look up.

There's no logic to love at first sight; a glance can last a lifetime, and even if the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, the memories will never fade.

"Miss, I'll go and give him a heads-up..."

Just as Chun Tao was about to push the door open, she found her mistress standing at the door, looking emaciated and glaring at her. She grabbed Chun Tao and lifted her up.

The backlash from the demonic power was extremely domineering. The vibrant wood-attribute cultivation technique was completely reversed at this moment, turning from vitality into death energy, and the flowers by the window withered rapidly.

"Second Aunt, what do you want to do?"

Ling Shuanghua loves growing flowers, and Mu Qingxia is an expert in flower cultivation. The two usually have a good relationship, but even a fool could see the problem with her current state.

Mu Qingxia sneered, "Your mother died young, and I raised you. Now, I want you to repay the debt of raising me with your blood!"

As she spoke, Mu Qingxia drew her sharp claws.

Ling Shuanghua was a delicate and frail young lady from a prominent family, and she knew no martial arts whatsoever. How could she possibly stop Mu Qingxia? Just as she was about to be killed, a fist came crashing down on her.

"You bastard! Get out of my way!"

Ding Dian leaped over the wall like a tiger and rushed in through the window, throwing a punch at Mu Qingxia.

Five or six years ago, Ding Dian accidentally rescued an old master by the river. The old master was dying and passed on his sect's secret technique, "Shenzhao Gong," to Ding Dian before he passed away.

The Divine Illumination Technique is a authentic spiritual cultivation method of the Xuanmen sect. When mastered, it grants near-resurrection abilities, allowing one to recover completely even if their collarbone is pierced.

Ding Dian had been practicing diligently for five and a half years, achieving a minor level of mastery. His internal energy was refined and profound. This punch was one of the martial arts techniques attached to the "Divine Illumination Skill," and it was called "Shadowless Divine Fist."

Mu Qingxia had no idea of ​​such an unexpected turn of events. She was sent flying several steps by Ding Dian's punch. Ding Dian stood tall and protected Ling Shuanghua behind him, then swung his claws to snatch Chun Tao back.

Previously, Ding Dian, guided by Chun Tao, made friends with Ling Shuanghua through flowers. He placed a pot of peonies on the wall and gazed at Ling Shuanghua across the distance, experiencing the sweetness of love.

Just then, all the flowers in front of Ling Shuanghua's window withered. Ding Dian knew something was wrong, so he quickly jumped over the wall of the Ling residence and rescued Ling Shuanghua just in time.

Ding Dian's roar, the explosion of his true energy, and the terrifying aura emanating from Mu Qingxia's demonic possession could be heard throughout the entire mansion. Ling Tuisi collapsed in terror.

Zhuge Zhengwo looked at him with a half-smile, and asked expressionlessly, "Lord Ling, why would you abandon your prestigious position as a Hanlin scholar to side with a traitor?"

"You...you...Zhuge Zhengwo...I am a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, you have no right to punish me!"

Ling Tuisi stammered incoherently, and Zhuge Zhengwo flicked two fingers to seal his acupoints.

At the same time, Xu Qingya and Zhuiming arrived.

The two exchanged a glance with Zhuge Zhengwo, and simultaneously rushed towards the backyard of the Ling residence. Mu Qingxia had gone mad from practicing her cultivation technique and was completely insane, recklessly unleashing her power.

The Ling family mansion has no shortage of flowers.

Countless petals shot out in all directions!

Ding Dian was not good at light footwork, and he also had to protect Ling Shuanghua and Chun Tao, so he was constantly being hit by the petals and was struggling to stay afloat.

"You wicked thief, how dare you commit such a heinous act!"

Zhuiming flew over, grabbed Ling Shuanghua and Chuntao by the collar, and dashed away to a distance of more than ten feet.

Xu Qingya shouted, "Brother Ding, go protect Miss Ling! Leave this to me!"

"Brother Xu, thank you very much!"

"That's only right!" Xu Qingya placed his right hand on the hilt of his knife, stopping Mu Qingxia. "Are you going to commit suicide voluntarily, or do you want me to do it myself?"

"Whoosh!"

Zhuiming returned from the window, completely blocking Mu Qingxia's escape route. She was now in a desperate situation, surrounded by enemies.

"Xu Qingya, I'm going to kill you!"

Mu Qingxia glared at Xu Qingya with resentment.

If Xu Qingya hadn't caused trouble everywhere and captured Feng Qiwu and Mai Jing one after another, how could she have been exposed?

Zhuiming awkwardly touched the wine gourd.

The case was supposed to be handled by the Four Great Constables, but unexpectedly, Xu Qingya was the one who was busy with the case from beginning to end. In just three days, he found the mastermind behind it all.

I really want Brother Xu to join the Six Doors!

With Brother Xu around, solving cases is so much easier!

Mu Qingxia rushed over without regard for anything, scattering yellowish-brown medicinal powder from her hands. This was the "Golden Wave Flower" seed that Ling Tuisi had purchased from India at great expense.

Ling Tuisi originally intended for Mu Qingxia to cultivate the Golden Wave Flower using wood-attribute true energy, but he never expected that Mu Qingxia would be exposed so quickly and the imperial court would act so swiftly.

First, sever the tentacles, then divide and surround them. The famous constable Zhui Ming attracts attention from the front, while Xu Qingya, who was unexpectedly drawn into the case, relentlessly pursues them from the side.

By utilizing the time limit of "three days," a deadly trap was set up, and finally, Zhuge Zhengwo was invited to oversee the operation, rendering the trump card of official rank completely ineffective.

In the face of the urgency, Mu Qingxia could only use her inner energy to grind the flower seeds into powder, and then use the "Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow" technique to control the poisonous powder to form two long, yellow, highly toxic dragons.

The surrounding petals, vines, and leaves were all covered in the Golden Wave Flower. Zhui Ming took a slight breath of its essence and felt dizzy, so he quickly left the room.

Using his right leg as a pivot, Xu Qingya spun his body at high speed, creating gusts of wind that gathered at his feet and quickly condensed into a whirlwind.

In an instant, all the furniture and furnishings in the room were destroyed. A whirlwind carrying wooden blocks, dressing mirrors, and candlesticks converged into a cyan blade of light.

Spring and Autumn Sword Technique - Shaking the Nation!

The righteous cause is so powerful it shakes heaven and earth!

The domineering vertical slash, with all the body's essence, energy and spirit integrated into the blade, is like divine punishment, possessing the power to overturn mountains and shake rivers and seas.

All "defense" has ceased to exist.

Mu Qingxia felt the air around her become as heavy as mercury, her hands and feet felt as if they were bound by shackles, and even her protective aura was crushed by his unparalleled spirit.

Faced with this blow, Mu Qingxia, driven mad by only instinct, couldn't muster any thought of defense, and even her innate "will to survive" was extinguished.

"Boom!"

The blade flashed and cleaved in two.

Ling Shuanghua lived in a two-story building. As the shocking blade light fell, the entire boudoir collapsed, sweeping, cracking, and cleaving the first floor in the process!

To Zhui Ming's astonishment, half of the house was reduced to ruins. Xu Qingya stood proudly amidst the ruins, a phantom of a blue dragon flashing behind him, as if a martial saint had descended.

Mu Qingxia was split in two by the flash of the knife.

There were two dried corpses on the ground, shriveled like cured meat.

Zhuge Zhengwo's pupils contracted slightly. This was not the Spring and Autumn Blade Technique that was circulating in the martial arts world. This was the "Spring and Autumn Blade Intent" that he had comprehended after practicing the Spring and Autumn Blade Technique to its extreme.

The Spring and Autumn Blade Technique, as it is known in the martial arts world, has eight moves: Unparalleled, Historical Observation, Subtle Words, Righteousness, Continuous, Concealed Edge, Iron Pen, and History...

This is not Guan Yu's Spring and Autumn Saber Technique, but a saber technique textbook compiled by later generations based on the Spring and Autumn Saber Technique. It is a basic saber technique posture, similar to Shaolin Luohan Fist.

By mastering these eight sword techniques, one can comprehend different sword intents based on the swordsman's personality.

Some are blood-red evil spirits, some are Geng metal, some are yin-yang transformations, and some are continuous...

What Xu Qingya comprehended was—the Spring and Autumn Period!

Where did Ximen Changhai find his apprentice?

Is this guy a reincarnation of a martial saint?

Is "Qingcheng" really going to return to the world?

Xu Qingya thought to himself that this move was indeed powerful, but it was too taxing on the body. If Mu Qingxia hadn't scattered the Golden Wave Flower everywhere, Xu Qingya wouldn't have used it so casually.

He reached into his robes, pulled out a medicine bottle, and swallowed most of it. As the medicine was digested, his dantian, which had been as dry as a well, was restored to a full state.

Having recovered two-tenths of his strength, Xu Qingya climbed over the wall and left.

Zhuge Zhengwo and Zhuiming worked overtime to write the case files.

Xu Qingya went to find Ding Dian.

Ling Shuanghua suffered a terrible misfortune and fainted.

Ding Dian was gesticulating wildly, completely at a loss. Seeing Xu Qingya arrive, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Xu, what happened at Ling Hanlin's house? Can you tell me?"

Xu Qingya raised an eyebrow: "Simply put, what you should do most right now is take Miss Ling to the horse farm outside the Great Wall and take care of her for the rest of her life!"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Madam Ling is a remnant of the Yuxian Gang, and Ling Tuisi colluded with traitors. This is a crime deserving the execution of the entire family. Do you really want to watch Miss Ling beheaded?"

"Of course not!"

"I asked Zhuiming for a favor, and since Zhuiming didn't see Miss Ling, of course I didn't see her either!"

"I...I..."

"Just tell me if you're willing or not!"

"Yes! Of course I'm willing!"

Ding Dian patted his chest heavily.
