Urban Martial Saint

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock; they hadn’t seen clearly before, but this time they had a crystal clear view. Wang Tian’an exerted immense force, but the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword still remained an inch away, unable to chop any further. Around Shen Tianjun, there seemed to be an invisible wall that blocked his attack.

”How is this possible? How is this possible? How is this possible?” Wang Tian’an’s face was full of astonishment; he couldn’t figure out what was happening at all, his expression one of utter disbelief.

”Two moves!” Shen Tianjun looked at Wang Tian’an and said, ”You have one more chance!”

Wang Tian’an glanced at Shen Tianjun, then at the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword in his hand, feeling somewhat dazed for a moment. After a brief silence, he suddenly pinched his thigh hard, to see if he was dreaming. However, the pain vividly assured him that this was reality.

He looked at the people at the scene, then at Shen Tianjun in front of him, and in the end, Wang Tian’an accepted reality. Gritting his teeth, he gripped the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword tightly, stepped back to gather strength, and then let out a loud shout, thrusting the sword towards Shen Tianjun’s chest.

This time he harnessed twelve points of strength and switched from chopping to stabbing to highly concentrate his power. He didn’t hope to kill Shen Tianjun; injuring him would be enough.

Yet the result was the same as before; the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword, just an inch from Shen Tianjun, met an invisible wall and couldn’t advance any further. Wang Tian’an’s face turned beet red with effort, unable to press inch further.

The people of the Shen Family were also shocked, but quickly, they all cheered aloud.

Three moves! It was truly three moves! Three moves without dodging, blocking, or counterattacking, merely standing there to be struck, Shen Tianjun still hadn’t received a scratch, and one could only imagine the crowd’s excitement!

”You lost!” Shen Tianjun said calmly to Wang Tian’an, ”I hope you keep your word, from now on, do not set foot in Western Business again!”

Wang Tian’an staggered back a few steps, staring at the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword in his hand, unable to comprehend what had happened. Why couldn’t his Famed Instrument advance that last inch, what on earth was going on?

No one knew what had happened, only Shen Tianjun knew this point at the scene.

Wang Tian’an took a few steps back, looked at Shen Tianjun, then clenched his teeth and stepped forward again, saying, ”Shen Tianjun, I don’t accept this, you must be using some Blinding Method to trick me. Otherwise, how could my sword not chop down? You’re deceiving me!”

Shen Tianjun shrugged his shoulders and said, ”If you can’t wound me while I stand still and don’t fight back, what can I do?”

”You are just playing tricks on me, I won’t accept this!” Wang Tian’an shouted loudly.

”You sore loser, don’t bet if you can’t accept defeat!” the Netherworld Taoist retorted indignantly, ”Dao Ye here saw it all clearly. Elder Shen did not use any Blinding Method; it’s all genuine skill. He stood there motionless, and you couldn’t even leave a mark on him. You still think about wiping out the Shen Family? Wang Tian’an, I advise you to save it, skedaddle while you can and stop making a spectacle of yourself here!”

”Shut up!” Wang Tian’an roared furiously, glaring at Shen Tianjun, ”I don’t believe you, let me check, you must be playing tricks!”

As he said this, Wang Tian’an took a step forward and reached out to grab Shen Tianjun. But the moment he raised his hand, he suddenly flung it open, and a puff of white smoke burst forth, enveloping Shen Tianjun in a cloud of smoke.

”Father!” Shen Da exclaimed. He recognized the white smoke as the Bone-Piercing Tendon-Softening Powder; it was thanks to Wang Tian’an’s powder that they had ended up in such a dire situation.

The people of the Shen Family were also stunned, and they promptly tried to come over. Without hesitation, Wang Tian’an gestured and shouted loudly, ”Shen Tianjun is dazzled by my trick, quick, quick, quick, everyone attack, kill them!”

As he spoke, Wang Tian’an raised the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword and stabbed towards Shen Tianjun. Shen Tianjun was still shrouded in the smoke, unable to see anything outside; Wang Tian’an was clearly seizing this opportunity to kill Shen Tianjun directly.

”Father, be careful!” Shen Da cried out in alarm, rushing over to try to push Wang Tian’an away. However, he was seriously injured and had barely any strength, let alone being a match for Wang Tian’an, who kicked him away with a foot.

”You’re really asking for death!” Wang Tian’an cursed angrily, turning around again and raising his hand to chop at Shen Tianjun. At this moment, the people from Western Province rushed over as well, prepared to kill both the people of the Shen Family and those from Sha Men.

Just as the melee was about to erupt, a sigh transmitted from within the white smoke. Just when Wang Tian’an’s Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword was about to pierce Shen Tianjun, a hand suddenly emerged from the white smoke and, with a light flick, the hand sent the Five-Colored Spirit Snake Sword flying out of the hall.

Wang Tian’an’s hand, which held the sword, almost broke from the shock, and he hurriedly retreated a step, looking towards Shen Tianjun in the white smoke with alarm. He was well aware of the potency of the Bone-Piercing Tendon-Softening Powder; just a touch on the skin would strip a person of all their strength within a second. But how could Shen Tianjun still have such strength? What was going on? Could it be that, like Ye Qing, he too was immune to all poisons?

”You really won’t shed tears until you see your coffin; your hearts won’t die until you reach the Yellow River!” Amid Wang Tian’an’s startled gaze, Shen Tianjun sighed lightly as he stepped out of the range of white smoke, his face unchanged and showing not the slightest injury. It seemed he hadn’t been affected by the smoke at all!

Everyone was stunned. They had all witnessed the power of the Bone-Piercing Tendon-Softening Powder; just a touch on the skin could render a person powerless in an instant. Shen Tianjun had been enveloped by that white smoke; it was impossible for him not to have been touched by the poison powder. So why didn’t he show any signs of being poisoned?

Shen Tianjun’s gaze swept over the people from Western Province. He sighed and said, ”It seems that unless you’re completely heartbroken, you won’t leave. Very well, since you have killed so many of the Shen Family, then you should pay a price too!”

As he spoke, Shen Tianjun strolled to the center of the hall, casually picking up a broken chair leg from the ground. With a gentle squeeze of his right hand, the chair leg instantly split into more than a dozen small pieces. Holding these small pieces of wood in his hand, Shen Tianjun turned and walked back to where he had been previously.

Everyone watched Shen Tianjun in amazement, unsure of what he was going to do. Shen Tianjun, however, seemed quite composed as he moved to the center, his gaze sweeping over the people from Western Province, and he said softly, ”The thirteen of you have all got the blood of the Shen Family on your hands. Therefore, let each of you shed some blood as a price!”

As he finished speaking, Shen Tianjun suddenly swung his hand with force, and the dozen small pieces of wood flew out from his hand like arrows released from a bow, each aiming at one of the thirteen men. The thirteen men had no time to dodge and were hit in their right arms by the small wooden pieces, all suffering opened flesh and flowing blood. Their arm bones broke, and they fell to the ground screaming in pain.

At this, everyone present was shocked; their expressions froze. Most of the people here were high-level fighters, and they clearly understood how difficult Shen Tianjun’s feat was.

No one said that using a piece of wood the size of a soybean to break someone’s arm was easy. The stronger fighters present could break a person’s arm with a rock the size of an egg, but that was manageable. However, breaking two people’s arms was still barely achievable for them, as controlling the force and precision of two stones was extremely challenging. But to break the arms of three people at once, no one could manage that!

But now, Shen Tianjun had managed to break the arms of thirteen men at once with such small pieces of wood, an achievement that could only be described as defying heaven.

Beforehand, although people always talked about how formidable the strength of the Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun was, no one had actually seen his true capabilities. This time, however, they had thoroughly witnessed Shen Tianjun’s strength and finally understood what sort of against heaven level existence a fighter of this caliber was!

The people of the Shen Family were overwhelmed with excitement. The stronger Shen Tianjun was, the happier they became; after all, he was the greatest support of the Shen Family!

The people of Sha Men were both shocked and frightened. With Shen Tianjun’s strength, what could they do tonight? They had come here to seek revenge against the Shen Family!

Those from Western Province were utterly intimidated, and even Wang Tian’an took several steps back, looking at Shen Tianjun in horror. Now he fully understood; even with so many of them, they were no match for Shen Tianjun!

”Your affairs were none of the Shen Family’s concern to begin with. But since you’ve been so persistently pressing, I can’t help but give you a response,” Shen Tianjun said calmly to Wang Tian’an. ”Your Bone-Piercing Tendon-Softening Powder may be powerful, but it’s useless against me. This, your master should have taught you. Go back and tell Ning Qianshu that the Shen Family has no intention of getting involved in their business but also fears no one. So I hope he won’t bother us at Shen Family again!”

Upon hearing this, there was a stir among the crowd. The people from Sha Men looked at each other; they knew who Ning Qianshu was, but didn’t understand the connection between him and Wang Tian’an.

People from Western Province were surprised as they looked at Wang Tian’an; knowing who Ning Qianshu was, they even had been adversaries when they served as household slaves in the Chen Family. However, they could never have imagined that Wang Tian’an was Ning’s man. In this moment, the people from Western Province suddenly felt deceived.

Wang Tian’an, frowning deeply, watched Shen Tianjun for a while and then said through gritted teeth, ” Shen Tianjun, since you’ve guessed my identity, then you should also understand that we are determined to have those few items. You might be able to protect them today, but how much longer can you do so? If you don’t want the Shen Family to get involved, I advise you to hand them over to us quickly. Otherwise, one day, you will regret it!”
