Urban Martial Saint

Just as those three people fell, a red shadow charged directly toward them. As the old man had said, the comer was indeed Huangfu Ziyu!

This sudden turn of events left everyone at the scene somewhat astonished, completely unaware of what had happened. The three uncles of Shen Qingyi were now covered in blood and could barely hold on any longer, managing to fight only with desperate efforts.

Now, the sudden appearance of Huangfu Ziyu and the abrupt change in the situation on the scene had given the three men a breather. However, all three of them dared not be careless and hurriedly stood by the car of Shen Qingyi. Even if it meant death, they would protect Shen Qingyi.

Meanwhile, the leader from the Western Province was still clutching his knees, rolling on the ground and screaming in agony, his voice very piercing, as if he were in great pain. The other two who had fallen were not much better; they couldn’t even crawl up, for their leg bones had been broken by the dry branches.

The three uncles of Shen Qingyi were all astounded as they looked at Huangfu Ziyu. Nobody had seen the flying branch, so they thought it was all Huangfu Ziyu’s doing. And Huangfu Ziyu was equally surprised, she had clearly seen that the three from the Hua Family were on the brink of defeat; how had they suddenly managed to injure the people from the Western Province?

The exquisite and speedy intervention by the old man had not been seen by anyone from the three groups, so nobody knew that it was actually someone else who had intervened. The people of the Hua Family thought it was Huangfu Ziyu who had acted, and Huangfu Ziyu thought it was the people of the Hua Family who had done it; no one considered the possibility of another party.

Seeing Huangfu Ziyu, the people from the Western Province were clearly surprised; they too thought that it was Huangfu Ziyu who had injured them.

”You… who exactly are you…” The leader, enduring the pain and being supported by those beside him, shouted angrily, ”This matter is a private grievance between us and the Shen Family; it has nothing to do with outsiders. If you’re not one of the Shen Family, just get lost quickly, or else, don’t blame us for being rude to you!”

Huangfu Ziyu glanced at Shen Qingyi inside the car, then scanned the people from the Western Province with a cold gaze, and spoke loudly, ”If you want to know my name, you’ll have to pay with your life!”

Huangfu Ziyu had just been persuaded by Shen Qi, holding those items belonging to the Huangfu Household. She no longer wanted to seek revenge on the Shen Family, but neither did she want to help them. Thus, she had decided to leave. But while passing through this small grove, she saw people attacking the car of Shen Qingyi.

Although Huangfu Ziyu had a deep feud with the people of the Shen Family, she harbored no such hatred towards this Shen Qingyi. When she first came to the Shen Family, Shen Qingyi was still a child in swaddling clothes, and at that time, she had even held Shen Qingyi. She had lived there for several years, essentially watching Shen Qingyi grow up until he was five or six years old, and so she still felt some affection for Shen Qingyi. Now that her heart’s knot had unraveled and seeing Shen Qingyi in danger, she naturally couldn’t just stand by and do nothing, so she rushed over to help.

”Big talk!” The leader gritted his teeth and retorted angrily, ”Hmph, let’s see if you have the strength to make us pay with our lives. Everyone, let’s get her together. Hand Shen Qingyi over to the boss, and this woman, I’ll take her home personally. Later, you guys can come to my house and we can all have fun together!”

The people from the Western Province immediately burst into laughter. In their eyes, even though Huangfu Ziyu had just made a miraculous move, it was only the result of a sneak attack. There were so many of them against just one of her, they could surely handle Huangfu Ziyu!

Huangfu Ziyu also gave a faint smile. At that moment, the eldest uncle of Shen Qingyi couldn’t help but say, ”Young lady, be careful!”

Huangfu Ziyu smiled faintly without a word, simply walking slowly toward those people from the Western Province. They continued to jeer recklessly. Although Shen Qingyi inside the car was reputed to be the most beautiful woman in the Southern Six Provinces, unrivaled in looks. Yet, compared to Huangfu Ziyu, who despite having slightly inferior features, carried herself with enticing grace and allure, they were naturally more drawn to Huangfu Ziyu. What’s more, Wang Tian’an had specifically requested Shen Qingyi, so they dared not hold out hope for her and instead set their sights on Huangfu Ziyu.

”Hey, beauty, if possible, I hope you’ll just surrender gracefully!” A man walked up to Huangfu Ziyu with a lecherous smile, saying, ”Such a delicate little face — it’d be too much of a pity to get a scar on it. A girl should dress up nicely and stay at home waiting for a man to return, not come out and play with swords and guns, it’s not right!”

The man spoke, reaching out to touch Huangfu Ziyu’s beautiful face. Huangfu Ziyu took a step back with languid grace, smiling seductively, ”Should a girl really not wield swords and guns?”

As she spoke, Huangfu Ziyu extended the hand that had been behind her back, holding a long blade with an ancient design. The scabbard and the handle were all snow white, paired with Huangfu Ziyu’s creamy white, delicate hands, the sight was dazzling. Most crucially, a red ribbon was wrapped around Huangfu Ziyu’s wrist, a blood-like red on her fair skin, adding an endless allure.

The man was stunned, and the people from the Western Province also shouted excitedly; Huangfu Ziyu’s every move was enough to captivate anyone!

”Of course, a girl should not be wielding swords and guns!” The man replied excitedly, reaching for Huangfu Ziyu’s delicate hand while laughing, ”Especially not a blade; it doesn’t suit you!”

”Is that so?” Huangfu Ziyu dodged the man, and in a flash, she drew the long blade, a chill immediately spreading in the air, making the man shudder uncontrollably and exclaim in surprise, ”So cold!”

Huangfu Ziyu did not feel cold as she lightly passed her hand over the snow-white blade and said, ”You say this blade does not suit me? Yet, why do I feel it fits me perfectly?”

As Huangfu Ziyu spoke, she turned her head to look at the man and smiled, ”Why don’t we test it and see if this blade truly suits me?”

”How shall we test it?” the man asked in surprise.

”Quite simple...” Huangfu Ziyu smirked, slowly lifting the long blade in her hand and said, ”Just like this!”

With those words, Huangfu Ziyu violently chopped down. Her movement was so fast, it was beyond human imagination. The most crucial part was that the man was still lost in Huangfu Ziyu’s allure, and he did not even have time to react before he was cleaved into two, collapsing onto the ground.

The entire place was in uproar, and the people from Western Province were so captivated by Huangfu Ziyu’s charm that they did not expect such a delicate beauty to act so viciously. As they looked at the man chopped in half on the ground, everyone’s face was filled with shock.

Although the man had been chopped to death, strangely, there was not a single trace of blood on the ground. Nor was there any blood on the blade in Huangfu Ziyu’s hand, as if the man did not bleed at all, which was what amazed the audience even more.

”His... his wound has frozen; the blood cannot flow out...” Finally, someone noticed the issue, and others began exclaiming in shock. A single chop, and a person’s wound was frozen?

”This... this is the Cold Moon Blade...” Shen Qingyi’s uncle couldn’t help but exclaim; although he was not the strongest, his knowledge was not weak.

Huangfu Ziyu smiled faintly, gently caressing the Cold Moon Blade in her hands, and said, ”I don’t like seeing blood, so this blade suits me perfectly. It can kill without getting smeared with too much blood; very good, very good!”

The people of Western Province looked at her anew, each with an expression as if they were seeing a demon. To cleave a man in half and yet claim she disliked bloodshed? To strike with such madness yet speak so understatedly, this woman was truly demonic.

After a moment of silence, the leader suddenly roared, ”Everyone, together, kill this woman. Bloody hell, don’t be bewitched by her, just kill her, kill her now!”

The man no longer dared to harbor any intentions against Huangfu Ziyu, despite her breathtaking beauty. But one must be alive to enjoy such things. This demonic woman was simply beyond their control!

The people of Western Province immediately charged forward, hoping to surround Huangfu Ziyu in the middle.

”Charge!” Shen Qingyi’s uncle also made a gesture, suppressing his injuries and preparing to go help.

”Stay back, don’t come over!” Huangfu Ziyu waved her hand, stopping Shen Qingyi’s three uncles, and holding the Cold Moon Blade, she charged directly into the encircling crowd from Western Province.

The first person to bear the brunt raised a long blade and struck towards Huangfu Ziyu. Without any hesitation, she struck back. When their blades collided, the man’s blade, like tofu, was cut directly by the Cold Moon Blade. Without any pause, the Cold Moon Blade continued, knocking the man to the ground.

In just two days, Huangfu Ziyu had completely tamed the Cold Moon Blade. Now, in her hands, the Cold Moon Blade was not just a mere weapon; she could also harness its effects. Each cleave not only enhanced her cultivation power, but the Cold Moon Blade also emitted a bone-chilling coldness, making those around her unable to withstand the cold. Most importantly, Huangfu Ziyu herself felt no chill, giving her a significant advantage in combat!

The Cold Moon Blade could freeze wounds as it slashed, showing just how terrifying this coldness was. Those who approached Huangfu Ziyu were frozen, shivering uncontrollably despite managing to strike. They were already weakened, while Huangfu Ziyu faced no hindrances; with several exchanges, she had toppled a few more people. Her strength was already fearsome, and with the Cold Moon Blade in hand, she was unstoppable, invincible.

There, Huangfu Ziyu single-handedly held off so many from Western Province. On the other side, at Shen Family Manor, the elderly man and the girl finally entered. At that moment in the main hall of Shen Family Manor, the people from Shen Family and Sha Men were completely surrounded, utterly incapable of retaliating, just desperately resisting.
