Urban Martial Saint

Seeing such a situation, the people from Western Province couldn’t help but be shocked. Especially Wang Tian’an, his eyes were wide as saucers.

Wang Tian’an was very aware of the potency of his Bone-piercing Softening Powder; even a powerful figure like Old Madame Shen had been drugged by it, let alone these people from the Shen Family and Sha Men. Keep in mind, though there were many of them, none had the strength to compare with Old Madame Shen. Therefore, Wang Tian’an was confident he could knock them all out cold. He never expected that they would all stand up again.

”How... how can this be? Shen’s... how many Ziyu Chenxiang Pills have you hidden away?” Wang Tian’an asked in astonishment, knowing that the supply of the Shen Family’s Ziyu Chenxiang Pills was limited and surely not enough to save so many people.

Upon hearing this, Shen Da’s expression couldn’t help but change. Every one of them was able to stand up again entirely because Ye Qing had risked his life to save them. However, after they had all woken up, Ye Qing also fainted. His complexion was no longer just pallid; it could almost be described as pale gold. The excessive blood loss had put Ye Qing’s life in imminent danger, and Cui Yu was squatting next to him, desperately trying to stop his bleeding.

In fact, there was no need for Cui Yu to stop Ye Qing’s bleeding anymore; he hardly had any blood left to spill. Cui Yu’s face was full of worry and urgency. Ye Qing’s condition was very dangerous; an ordinary person would have died from such blood loss by now. Though Ye Qing was hanging on, he was in great peril and needed to receive a blood transfusion immediately.

”Stop wasting words with them!” Cui Yu snapped, turning her head to shout, ”Drive them away!”

”Dammit, I’m going all out with you guys!” Pig King was the first to roar, his plump body suddenly becoming astonishingly agile as he charged towards the people outside.

”Together, together, let’s go at them together!” The Netherworld Taoist followed right behind Pig King, loudly rallying the others as he went.

”All Shen Family members listen up!” Shen Da yelled, ”Tonight, against these people from Western Province, there is no need for mercy. This time, feel free to kill without question!”

Shen Da was actually a very mild-mannered person; it was unlike him to speak so harshly. But this time, he was truly enraged. The people from Western Province had plotted for twenty years, aiming to completely annihilate the Shen Family. They had harmed so many innocent people and killed Shen Qi, and Ye Qing had nearly lost his life trying to save them. Even with his gentle nature, he could not contain his fury and let out such an angry roar.

The Shen Family members had just watched Ye Qing sever his arm and squeeze out his blood to save them, leaving each of them deeply moved. They were extremely grateful to Ye Qing and even more resentful towards the people from Western Province. As soon as Shen Da gave the command, they rushed forward without hesitation, clashing with the people from Western Province.

Most of the Sha Men shared similar sentiments to those of the Shen Family and charged forward, engaging in a melee with the people from Western Province. The Right Protector didn’t make a move. He hid on the side, silently observing the situation, his gaze flickering, as he weighed what action to take.

The Netherworld Scholar also did not make a move, still fuming as he watched Ye Qing. Even though his life was arguably saved by Ye Qing, his resentment towards Ye Qing did not lessen in the slightest but grew even stronger. In his view, Ye Qing had made quite an impression this time, which made him feel very envious.

Seeing that the Sha Men and the Shen Family had charged out, Wang Tian’an also frowned and, unwilling to appear weak, waved his hand and commanded, ”Dammit, even if you can detoxify, what does that matter? Tonight, none of you will be spared. Brothers, let’s all go at them together, spare no one!”

The people from Western Province also rushed forward, engaging in a chaotic battle with the Sha Men and the Shen Family members. The Shen Family Manor was destined for turmoil tonight.

Meanwhile, in a small grove outside Shen Family Manor, two sedans were sandwiched in the middle by three large trucks. There were seven people in the two sedans, two of whom were girls—Shen Qingyi and Lili.

Surrounded by dozens of people encircling the sedans, Lili was so scared that she was trembling all over. Like Shen Qingyi, she had grown up in the Xihang Shen Family and had never encountered such a scene before.

Shen Qingyi was somewhat calmer, or perhaps it was her kind nature that made her believe everyone in the world was good-hearted. In her view, these people wouldn’t do them any harm, so she wasn’t too worried. In fact, when Cui Yulong had captured her previously, she was not scared either, simply because she had no idea that some people’s hearts could be so cruel in this society.

”Qingyi, don’t worry, there will be nothing wrong!” A middle-aged man sitting next to Shen Qingyi said in a low voice to comfort her; he was Shen Qingyi’s eldest uncle. The two sedans contained three of Shen Qingyi’s uncles, who were specifically called by Old Madame Shen to escort Shen Qingyi out of the manor. Little did they expect that not long after leaving Shen Family Manor, they would be stopped in this little grove.

”Ladies and gentlemen, we are relatives of the Xihang Shen Family, and I’m not sure how we have offended you all. I would like to apologize to everyone here. Could you please make way for us? We have urgent matters to attend to and can’t afford to delay here!” Shen Qingyi’s second uncle said with a smile to people surrounding them. Though he knew the newcomers were up to no good, he still wanted to see if he could persuade them with words.

”You still think you can intimidate us with the Xihang Shen Family at this point?” The short man leading the group let out a cold laugh and said, ”It’s no secret that tonight, even the Xihang Shen Family will be completely eliminated. There will be no more of this family in the future, so there’s no need to bring it up and make a fool of yourself!”

Shen Qingyi’s second maternal uncle frowned slightly and said, ”So, you all are here because of a grudge with the Xihang Shen Family, and that’s why you’ve found us?”

”Cut the crap, I’m here for Shen Qingyi!” The short man glanced into the carriage with a lewd smile and said, ”Hand over Shen Qingyi to me, and I might spare your lives!”

Shen Qingyi’s three maternal uncles exchanged glances, each with a very unpleasant expression. Although they hadn’t seen Shen Qingyi many times, they were very fond of their only niece and wouldn’t allow anyone to dishonor her. The short man’s words were a blatant provocation.

”My friend,” said Shen Qingyi’s second maternal uncle, bowing slightly, ”Shen Qingyi is my niece. I don’t know what grievances she may have with you all, but I hope you can show us some respect and let us take her away! If you can show us this courtesy, the Hua Family of Beilin City will be deeply grateful.”

Seeing that the name of the Shen Family carried no weight, Shen Qingyi’s second maternal uncle brought up the name of the Hua Family, hoping to intimidate these people.

”Fuck, what Hua Family of Beilin City? Never heard of it. Stop babbling. I’m giving you two options right now: either hand over Shen Qingyi to me and I’ll spare your lives, or I’ll personally kill all of you and take her myself!” The short man completely disregarded the Hua Family, squinting at Shen Qingyi’s second maternal uncle and saying, ”Are you going to choose life, or death?”

Hearing this, Shen Qingyi’s second maternal uncle couldn’t help but get angry. He furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, ”My friend, Qingyi is our niece, and under no circumstances will we allow her to be harmed. If you insist on taking her by force, then I’m afraid there’s nothing more to talk about!”

”We fucking shouldn’t be talking at all!” The short man waved his hand arrogantly and ordered, ”Enough talk, attack! Take them all down!”

Dozens of men immediately rushed toward the two carriages in the middle, and Shen Qingyi’s three maternal uncles quickly got out of their carriages, forming a protective stance around the vehicles. The four subordinates they had brought with them also stood by tensely, ready to help, leaving only Shen Qingyi and Lili hiding inside the carriages.

The clash ensued quickly. The short man’s subordinates all knew martial arts and were not weak. However, Shen Qingyi’s three maternal uncles were quite capable too. But the four subordinates they had brought with them were not up to par. They were swiftly taken down almost upon contact, leaving only Shen Qingyi’s three maternal uncles still struggling to resist. However, it was clear they wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer.

The short man watched Shen Qingyi inside the carriage excitedly. Although he couldn’t see her clearly, a beauty of Shen Qingyi’s caliber only needed to be discerned by her outline to stir up his imagination. The short man’s eyes gleamed green, almost wishing to rush into the carriage and seize Shen Qingyi right then.

”Why do they have to fight?” Shen Qingyi, sitting in the carriage, couldn’t help feeling anxious as she watched the fight outside, ”No, I have to stop them from fighting!”

”Miss, you shouldn’t go looking for trouble!” Lili quickly grabbed Shen Qingyi, saying, ”They’re here for you. Once you go out, it will be dangerous.”

”But I can’t just watch them keep fighting like this...” Shen Qingyi said, ”My uncles can’t hold on any longer. If I don’t stop them, my uncles are going to get hurt.”

”But you can’t go out, it’s too dangerous.” Lili simply locked the carriage door, fearing that Shen Qingyi would encounter an accident if she went out.

The melee outside didn’t last long; less than five minutes in, Shen Qingyi’s three maternal uncles were covered in blood, all severely injured. Their strength was simply not up to par. The Hua Family was too far behind the Shen Family, which is why the short man didn’t give them any respect.

Feeling the situation growing increasingly dire, Shen Qingyi’s three maternal uncles grew more anxious. They were not overly concerned with their own injuries, but the thought of Shen Qingyi being captured by these people was worse than death for them.

”Big brother, Third Brother and I will hold them off; you drive and take Qingyi back to the Shen Family Manor!” Shen Qingyi’s second maternal uncle ordered in a stern voice.

”It’s even more dangerous to go back!” Shen Qingyi’s eldest maternal uncle pushed an opponent away, shouting, ”We’re already fighting here, and there’s no movement from the Shen Family. It means the Shen Family is currently unable to even take care of themselves.”

(I have something to attend to today, so there will be only one chapter update in the morning and two more in the evening.)
