Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qing didn’t speak, but walked to a table in the back, picked up a teacup, and came back. Most of the teacups had been smashed to the ground during the recent scuffle, but this one was still intact.

Ye Qing wiped the teacup clean, set it on the table, and then picked up a shard of glass from the ground, rolling up his sleeve.

Everyone looked at Ye Qing’s actions with astonishment, not knowing what he was planning to do, their faces filled with confusion.

”Ye brothers, what are you doing?” Cui Yu couldn’t help but ask.

Ye Qing placed his arm above the teacup, saying, ”I’ve taken so many Ziyu Chenxiang Pills, my blood must contain some of their medicinal properties. Perhaps, my blood could detoxify you all!”

As he spoke, Ye Qing directly put the glass shard against his arm and forcefully made a cut. A wound opened up immediately, and fresh blood streamed from it, dripping into the teacup.

”You...” When Cui Yu heard what Ye Qing said, he immediately wanted to stop him. But just as he opened his mouth, Ye Qing had already acted, and Cui Yu was too late to prevent it, only able to watch helplessly as Ye Qing’s blood flowed into the teacup.

Ye Qing’s actions stunned everyone present. People of the Shen Family and the Sha Men were shocked by what Ye Qing was doing. Was this method not insanely risky? The most crucial point was, he was using his own blood to detoxify everyone—just how much blood would that take? There were thirty or forty people on the scene, and even a small sip per person might lead to Ye Qing losing too much blood.

Seeing that the blood continued to run down Ye Qing’s arm, Cui Yu finally couldn’t contain himself, saying, ”Ye Qing, your blood might not even work; stop risking your life so recklessly. If you lose too much blood, you won’t be able to escape later. You should preserve your strength, as there might still be a chance for you to survive!”

”It’s fine!” Ye Qing gritted his teeth, picked up another teacup, and dripped his blood into it. He then took the half-full teacup to Cui Yu, saying, ”I have a lot of blood, losing a bit is no big deal. Cui, you’re the person I trust the most; you try it first, okay?”

Watching Ye Qing’s bleeding arm, Cui Yu felt extremely conflicted. After a moment of silence, he clenched his teeth and said, ”Then I’ll try it first!”

Ye Qing held the teacup to his mouth and poured some of the blood into Cui Yu’s mouth. After swallowing it, everyone around watched him nervously, their emotions running high.

If Ye Qing’s blood really worked, then today, they might all have a chance at survival.

After consuming the blood, Cui Yu felt a change within him. Less than half a minute later, he felt his strength return. With everyone watching, Cui Yu suddenly stood up, prompting cheers from all those present.

”It really works! It really works!”

”Quick, give me some to drink!”

”Give it to me first, me first!”

Peoples of the Shen Family and the Sha Men clamored loudly, looking at the teacup in Ye Qing’s hands with immense eagerness, as if they couldn’t wait to have their sip.

Ye Qing handed the teacup to Cui Yu and said, ”Cui, please help everyone to detoxify first.”

Without further words, Cui Yu took the teacup and went straight to the Netherworld Taoist, feeding him a little. However, it wasn’t enough for the Netherworld Taoist to feel a significant change, so Cui Yu had to give him a bit more before he finally recovered.

With that, Cui Yu roughly figured out how much blood was needed to restore one person to normalcy. But the result made him anxious. Each person needed at least a fifth of a teacup’s worth, and with so many people in the room, if everyone drank, how much blood would Ye Qing have to draw? At this rate, they might not save everyone before Ye Qing would be the first to die!

”Cui, how is it?” Ye Qing asked from the side, still dripping blood into another teacup. However, the rate at which the blood was pouring from his arm had begun to slow. With no other option, Ye Qing pressed on his arm, squeezing hard to increase the flow of blood.

”It can... it can work...” Cui Yu reluctantly uttered those words; he really didn’t want Ye Qing to take such a risk. But he knew that only by restoring everyone could they stand a chance against the people of the Western Province.

”Then hurry up...” Ye Qing picked up another teacup, continued to catch the blood flowing out, and pushed the previously filled teacup forward, saying, ”Netherworld Taoist, help out too.”

The Netherworld Taoist picked up the teacup from the ground and looked at Ye Qing’s face, which was gradually turning pale, his expression becoming very odd. After a long while, he clenched his teeth and said, ”Kid, today, you’ve completely earned my respect!”

These words made Ye Qing startled for a moment, and the Netherworld Taoist didn’t waste any words. Picking up the teacup, he ran over to Pig King.

Cui Yu took the remaining blood in the teacup to Shen Da. Beside him, the Netherworld Scholar immediately became anxious and said, ”Cui Yu, what are you doing? Why aren’t you giving us the antidote first? If you cure the people of the Shen Family first, what will we do if they attack us later?”

Cui Yu ignored him, walking straight to Shen Da and said, ”Mr. Shen, with a formidable enemy in front of us. The feud between our Sha Men and the Shen Family can be set aside for the moment!”

”Mr. Cui truly understands the greater good. I am very grateful!” Shen Da said, ”Rest assured, starting from today, as long as the Sha Men don’t attack our people, we of the Shen Family will not pursue tonight’s matter!”

Shen San and others beside him were surprised by Shen Da’s words, but no one dared to say anything. After all, Shen Da was their eldest brother.

”Good!” Cui Yu nodded, held the teacup to Shen Da’s mouth, and detoxified him as well.

After Shen Da got up, he ran straight to Ye Qing. Seeing Ye Qing struggling to squeeze out more blood, Shen Da couldn’t help but change color. He sighed, saying, ”Mr. Ye, I’ve heard a lot about you before. Originally, as a successor to the Li Style Bajiquan, you were considered a formidable enemy by our Shen Family. But what you did today has left me completely in awe. From now on, my Shen Family owes Mr. Ye a great favor, and we must remember it!”

Many from the Shen Family had had dissatisfaction with Ye Qing before, but now, their dissatisfaction disappeared. Seeing Ye Qing’s pale face due to blood loss, each of them felt a tightening in their hearts. Ye Qing was saving them at the cost of his own life. Who would still doubt Ye Qing’s intentions towards the Shen Family? Who would think that Ye Qing was there to harm them?

Shen Da also took a teacup and, along with Cui Yu and the Netherworld Taoist, began to save others. Ye Qing’s blood contained a considerable amount of the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill’s medicinal effect, which easily detoxified those affected. However, after saving more than twenty people, Ye Qing’s complexion had turned extremely pale. It was only because of his strong physique that he hadn’t fainted. If his body had not been strong enough, whether he could remain alive at this point was still an unknown.

”Ye brothers, most people have already recovered. You needn’t squeeze out any more blood!” Cui Yu walked over to Ye Qing, saying, ”We have enough people here to protect everyone. You should rest.”

”Yes, Mr. Ye, you’ve already lost so much blood. If you continue like this, I fear it could be life-threatening!” Shen Da also urged anxiously.

Ye Qing’s consciousness was a bit blurry at the moment, but he still struggled to shake his head, his voice trembling as he said, ”So many people from Western Province, prepared for this. All of you... you all must recover... only then... then will there be hope for victory. Cui, help... help me a bit. I... I don’t have the... the strength to squeeze out blood anymore...”

Cui Yu, looking at Ye Qing’s veins becoming somewhat deflated due to excessive blood loss, suddenly felt like crying. The others watching Ye Qing each wore a similar expression. Even those like Ghost King Li Ruoyuan and Black Asura, who previously dismissed Ye Qing, now looked at him with faces full of sorrow and admiration. Ye Qing’s actions were truly beyond everyone’s expectations!

Outside the hall, the people from Western Province were still waiting. But with the doors and windows of the hall closed, they could not see the situation inside, so they were all guessing.

”Eldest Brother, could they be plotting something inside?” Xu Cunxiao asked Wang Tian’an in a low voice, a sense of unease in his heart.

”What else can they plot?” Wang Tian’an said with a cold laugh, ”Without the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill, they have no hope. Another minute, just one more minute, and all the poison smoke will become ineffective. Then we can rush in and kill everyone from the Shen Family and Sha Men.”

Hearing Wang Tian’an’s words, Xu Cunxiao felt slightly relieved. Nevertheless, his face remained tense, wishing he could immediately storm in and slaughter everyone inside.

Finally, after a minute passed amid Xu Cunxiao’s anxious waiting, Wang Tian’an smiled coldly and said, ”Alright, the poison smoke has become ineffective. Everyone, now we can go in and kill all the people from the Shen Family and Sha Men!”

”Let’s go together!” Xu Cunxiao shouted loudly, leading a group of people straight toward the hall.

When they reached the door of the hall, Xu Cunxiao kicked it open. The very instant the door swung open, a streak of cold light rushed out, heading straight for Xu Cunxiao.

Xu Cunxiao’s face changed, and he quickly stepped back several paces, barely dodging the gleam of cold light. However, one of his companions was not so lucky and had an arm sliced off by the sharp light.

Two more screams rang out at the same time; as two others had also suffered injuries. Xu Cunxiao and his men quickly retreated, and only then could they see clearly that the people of the Shen Family and Sha Men, who had been lying on the floor, were now standing at the doorway. It turned out that the cold light was the result of these people striking back, and three more from Western Province were already down.
