Urban Martial Saint

Hearing Ding Shaoyan’s words, Lin Yaqing couldn’t help but laugh secretly in her heart. Ding Shaoyan really was selfish enough, having been complicit in the murder of Tie Yongwen, and Elder Master Ding had died from the shock of witnessing Tie Yongwen’s killing. Now, instead of looking for reasons within himself, he blamed everything on Ye Qing, truly an act of unreasonableness.

However, Lin Yaqing didn’t show her disdain but said softly, ”Don’t worry, this time, Ye Qing will surely die!”

Ding Shaoyan nodded slowly. With Lin Yaqing’s assurance, he felt somewhat calmer. However, recalling Elder Master Ding’s death, his heart flared up with annoyance again, and he began to wonder if what he was doing was worth it. To take down Ye Qing, the Ding family had lost two major pillars of support. Undoubtedly, after this time, the Ding family would lose their current status and become an ordinary family.

At this thought, Ding Shaoyan suddenly realized that he had made the biggest mistake. There would always be opportunities to deal with Ye Qing, but this time he had risked the entire family. If the family found out about this, he feared they might kill him themselves before Ye Qing even needed to lift a finger.

Ding Shaoyan felt a surge of fear and stood rooted to the spot, unconsciously breaking out into a cold sweat, his limbs turning to jelly. Only at this moment did he fully comprehend the grave consequences of his actions, but it was all too late.

Elsewhere, Lin Yaqing ended the call and immediately turned to Xu Dingjiang lying beside her, giggling, ”This Ding is really interesting. He killed his own grandfather and blames everything on someone else, how absurd!”

”Hehehe...” Xu Dingjiang chuckled coldly, seemingly oblivious to Lin Yaqing’s naked body in front of him, stood up, put on his clothes, and said with a sneer, ”People from the Ding family never think they’ve done anything wrong. That’s the greatest tragedy of the major clans; lives of luxury for years make it difficult for them to discern right from wrong. The bigger the family, the more likely this is to happen, and the easier it is for them to be destroyed. It’s an eternal truth!”

”Hmph, that’s quite a sweeping statement you’re making there,” retorted Lin Yaqing with dissatisfaction, ”Our Lin family isn’t small either, yet I haven’t seen such things happen.”

Xu Dingjiang glanced at Lin Yaqing and secretly sneered at her shamelessness. With things having gotten this far for Lin Tianhao, she was still consumed with hatred for Ye Qing, oblivious to her own family’s wrongdoing. Now she had the audacity to say such a thing—truly shameless!

Seeing Xu Dingjiang dressed, Lin Yaqing asked curiously, ”Hey, where are you going?”

”To continue our plan...” Xu Dingjiang said with a light smile, ”With Tie Yongwen and Elder Master Ding gone, it’s time to eliminate Ye Qing’s forces. Oh, and call Shen Baichuan, we might need him tonight!”

As he spoke, Xu Dingjiang gave Lin Yaqing’s smooth buttocks a pat and smiled, ”Wait for me here, little goblin. I’ll be back soon!”

Lin Yaqing let out a panting moan, her cheeks flushed and her eyes sultry as she watched Xu Dingjiang leave: ”Then hurry back, I’ll be waiting for you!”

”Hahahaha...” Xu Dingjiang laughed heartily and strode out of the room.

In the Tianqing Gang, Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan were sitting together, waiting. Today was the last day of the three-day deadline given to them by Xu Dingjiang. Both were eager to see what surprise Xu Dingjiang would bring them.

Just as they sat in silence, Shangguan Qing suddenly burst into the room, exclaiming, ”Big brother, great news, Tie Yongwen is dead!”

”What?” Both Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan sprang to their feet, stunned by the news. Tie Yongwen dead? How could that be?

Excitedly, Shangguan Qing explained, ”I just got the news, Tie Yongwen was shot and killed by Ye Qing at the Xingyi Martial Arts School. Also, the Elder Master Ding died from the shock of Tie Yongwen’s death. Now the Ding family and Xingyi School are in chaos, and Xingyi School has already sent people to hunt down Ye Qing!”

Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan exchanged glances, suddenly realizing what the surprise Xu Dingjiang was talking about. Tie Yongwen was actually killed, and by Ye Qing no less? It was undoubtedly Xu Dingjiang who had a hand in this. Yet, Xu Dingjiang must have had great courage to dare kill Tie Yongwen, which was truly shocking.

As they were still reeling, another person rushed to the doorway and said, ”Gang Leader, there’s a man named Xu outside asking to see you.”

Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan looked at each other again, Xu Dingjiang had arrived at such a moment. Honestly, with the incident involving Tie Yongwen blowing up to such an extent, neither of them wanted to get involved. But considering that Xu Dingjiang dared to kill Tie Yongwen, they didn’t dare go back on their word now.

After a moment of silence, Shangguan Tian said in a low voice, ”Let him in.”

Xu Dingjiang entered the room, where only Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan were seated together. Wearing a faint smile, he said, ”Gentlemen, I trust you’ve already heard the news from outside. There’s no need for me to say more, Tie Yongwen is no more, and Elder Master Ding is dead. Now, you two can freely move against Ye Qing!”

Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan bowed their heads in silence for a while before Li Wenyuan spoke first, ”Mr. Xu, frankly, I think there’s no need for us to get involved anymore. The Ding family and Xingyi School are convinced Ye Qing is the killer of Tie Yongwen, they’re desperately hunting him down. It’s not even our turn to lift a finger; Ye Qing is a dead man for sure!”

Xu Dingjiang frowned slightly and glanced at Shangguan Tian, asking, ”What does Gang Leader Shangguan think?”

Shangguan Tian spoke softly, ”My sentiments are the same as Gang Leader Li’s!”

”Is that so?” Xu Dingjiang said with a cold smile, ”By saying this, are you implying that you wish to go against our prior agreement?”

”This isn’t exactly going against our agreement,” Shangguan Tian said, ”Our goal was to kill Ye Qing, and now we don’t even have to lift a finger; Ye Qing is a dead man anyway. Why should we rush into this? Mr. Xu, doing too much may expose us. If someone catches on, that would really backfire.”

Xu Dingjiang waved his hand dismissively, ”I don’t want to hear such nonsense. I’m asking you both, are you planning to break our previous agreement?”

With Xu Dingjiang’s strong questioning, Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan were at a loss for a response. If they said yes, it would mean openly becoming enemies with Xu Dingjiang. Given Xu Dingjiang’s methods, killing them would probably not be difficult.

”Mr. Xu, we… we didn’t mean to break the previous agreement...” Li Wenyuan paused before speaking in a low voice, ”How about this, let’s dispatch our men right now to raze all of Ye Qing’s venues in Shenchuan City, completely cutting off his foundation here. How does that sound?”

Li Wenyuan did not want to confront Ye Qing in person, hence he thought of this indirect method. Shangguan Tian also looked towards Xu Dingjiang; he shared the same thoughts as Li Wenyuan.

Xu Dingjiang fell silent for a moment, then nodded, ”Alright then, that can work too. However, I want all of Ye Qing’s venues to be thoroughly swept clean, not a single one to remain. And...”

Xu Dingjiang paused, his cold gaze fixed on the two men as he spoke in a stern voice, ”I want the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena!”

Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan frowned slightly. The Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena was the most profitable venue, and Xu Dingjiang had quite an eye for choosing the most lucrative one immediately.

However, considering Xu Dingjiang’s tactics, both of them eventually relented. Compared to making an enemy of Xu Dingjiang, handing over the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena wasn’t a big deal.

”Since it’s settled, then what are you both waiting for?” Xu Dingjiang said with a cold laugh, ”To kick a man while he’s down fits the current situation perfectly. By tomorrow morning, I want Ye Qing to not have a single venue left in Shenchuan City!”

”That won’t be a problem...” Li Wenyuan said with a cold smile, ”Leave it to us!”

After Ye Qing was pushed out of the Xingyi Martial Arts School by Du Tianyi, he knew Du Tianyi had specifically come to his rescue. Severely injured, he dared not linger in the Xingyi Martial Arts School and left in a hurry. Sitting in the car, Ye Qing rolled down the window all the way, letting the cold wind blow on him to keep his consciousness clear.

He didn’t dare return to his own territory but went straight to the teahouse instead. Previously, the Ghost-faced Judge Cui Yu had told Ye Qing that he owed him a favor, and in case of trouble, Ye Qing could look for his help. Ye Qing, however, did not expect that he would need assistance so soon.

With Shenchuan City teeming with hidden dangers and the Ding Family Xingyi School’s people on his tail, Ye Qing knew that apart from the teahouse, there was no other place to assure the safety of him and his friends. Thus, Ye Qing had already made arrangements for his men to convene at the teahouse, hoping to use the strength of the Ghost-faced Judge to temporarily preserve their lives.

When Ye Qing arrived at the teahouse, Lin Mengjie had already mobilized quite a few people there. However, there wasn’t enough room inside the teahouse for everyone to rest, so the group sat in the courtyard outside.

Of course, since they were within the teahouse’s premises, this indicated that the Ghost-faced Judge had accepted them. At this point, regardless of who came looking for trouble, the Ghost-faced Judge wouldn’t stand idly by.

Seeing Ye’s car, Lin Mengjie was the first to stand up, urgently saying, ”Ye!”

”The boss is here!”

”Boss!”

The crowd gathered around, all wanting to inquire why Ye had summoned them here. But when they saw the blood-covered Ye Qing in the car, they soon forgot their questions, rushing to help Ye Qing out of the vehicle.

”Ye, what... what happened to you?” Lin Mengjie’s voice trembled with a cry, looking at Ye Qing anxiously. Even this assertive woman seemed a bit flustered.

”I... I’m okay...” Seeing everyone unharmed, Ye Qing felt a little more at ease. He waved his hand and said, ”It’s just superficial wounds, not important. Just... just help me inside...”

Finally realizing the situation, Lin Mengjie led two others to support Ye Qing into the teahouse. The Lady Boss, Hu Momo, sat at the entrance, and upon seeing Ye Qing enter in such a state, she couldn’t help but be slightly surprised, questioning, ”Mr. Ye, what happened?”
