Urban Martial Saint

The sword aura of the Seven-Star Ancient Sword, amidst desolation carries a domineering force. Every time it is unsheathed, it never fails to leave one in awe, much like Cui Yulong’s Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade.

However, the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade is an Evil Blade, and the dragon’s roar it emits can also be distracting. But the sword aura of the Seven-Star Ancient Sword holds a sense of intimidation. For the sword wielder, the appearance of this sword aura brings increased clarity and calmness. But for the enemies of the sword wielder, this sword aura becomes a form of deterrence!

This is precisely the case now. With the Seven-Star Ancient Sword in hand, an invisible intimidation spreads forth. Ye Qing stands majestically with the sword, his entire presence seeming to grow taller, feeling as if he stands unmatched across the world!

”Seven-Star Ancient Sword!” Helian Qingfeng shouted, his voice deep, ”How is this sword in your hand? You dare steal something from our Hong Alliance!”

”What Hong Alliance?” Ye Qing was momentarily taken aback, not knowing what Helian Qingfeng was talking about.

”Nonsense!” Huangfu Ziyu glared with almond eyes, ”The Seven-Star Ancient Sword belongs to the Huangfu Household. We already withdrew from the Hong Alliance. How could this sword be considered a belonging of your Hong Alliance? Truly shameless!”

”You’re from the Huangfu Household?” Helian Qingfeng’s expression changed again, he looked at Huangfu Ziyu in astonishment, ”You’re the last person from the Huangfu Household?”

”That’s me!” Huangfu Ziyu replied coldly.

”Ha, I didn’t expect to see a member of the Huangfu Household today!” Helian Qingfeng laughed, ”Huangfu Ziyu, when your Huangfu Household withdrew from the Hong Alliance back then, you ended up with the fate of having your clan obliterated. How does it feel?”

”Hmph, the Chen Family didn’t withdraw from the Hong Alliance, and weren’t they destroyed just the same?” Huangfu Ziyu replied coldly.

”That’s different!” Helian Qingfeng shouted, ”The Chen Family was destroyed by traitors within, whereas your Huangfu Household was directly attacked. Why is that? The Chen Family had the support of the Hong Alliance behind them, but what did your Huangfu Household have? Their adversaries dared to storm into the yard of the Huangfu Household but would never dare enter the Chen Family’s premises, that’s the difference!”

”Don’t flatter yourself, all these years you’ve clearly known who destroyed the Chen Family, yet you haven’t done a thing, have you?” Huangfu Ziyu replied coldly, ”The so-called Hong Alliance is nothing but a joke. Hmph, with Helian Tiehua reigning in Meng District all these years, making you Helian Family think the Hong Alliance is yours? Hmph, remember, within the Hong Alliance, you Helian Family are nothing but slaves!”

This remark made Helian Qingfeng’s face turn icy cold, angrily he shouted, ”Huangfu Ziyu, you’re courting death!”

”If you have the ability, kill me!” Huangfu Ziyu responded defiantly, ”If you can’t kill me, maybe you’ll end up dying by my hands!”

In furious rage, Helian Qingfeng ceased words, roared as he launched a full-force assault on Huangfu Ziyu.

Here, Ye Qing tightened his grip on the longsword, seeing the intense battle escalating over there, he finally couldn’t hold back. He cast a cold glance at the lean man in front of him, saying in a deep voice, ”Get lost, spare your life!”

The lean man looked at the Seven-Star Ancient Sword in Ye Qing’s hand, replied coldly, ”Hmph, brandishing a Famed Instrument, do you think you can scare the Sky-Piercing Mouse? Even with a Famed Instrument in hand, what can you do to me!”

Ye Qing, without further ado, tightened his grip on the Seven-Star Ancient Sword and rushed forward, lifting the sword to directly slash at the lean man.

Despite his arrogant words, the lean man was actually quite wary of the Famed Instrument in Ye Qing’s hand. As Ye Qing charged forward, the man swiftly dodged to the side, evading Ye Qing’s sword while simultaneously attempting to strike at Ye Qing’s waist.

Ye Qing countered with another swift sword strike, his reaction was extremely fast, swiftly forcing the man to retreat a few steps. Undeterred, the man circled Ye Qing, launching successive assaults, each strike cunningly delivered. However, no matter how cunning his moves were, they bore no effect on Ye Qing. It’s known that during Ye Qing’s martial arts training, the beans he used would rain down from all directions. Ye Qing had to use the Seven-Star Ancient Sword to deflect them. His reaction speed was exceptional. Could this man’s speed be as dense as those beans raining down?

In less than two minutes of fighting, the man sensed something was wrong. Because he was completely led by Ye Qing, dodging and evading only after watching Ye Qing’s moves, with no opportunity to counter at all. It was fortunate that the man was very fast, otherwise, anyone else would have already been cut in half by Ye Qing using the Seven-Star Ancient Sword.

Even so, the man found it very difficult to dodge. After all, when the Seven-Star Ancient Sword was unleashed, it had not only the power of a longsword but also an unpredictable sword aura. The longsword was visible, but the length of the sword aura was not. Because of this sword aura, the lean man suffered twice, with wounds on his abdomen and shoulder from being slashed. Although the cuts were not deep, he was ultimately injured, and the man was becoming increasingly haggard.

Meanwhile, Helian Qingfeng watched as the Sky-Piercing Mouse was getting more and more overwhelmed, growing anxious. He and the taciturn man were teamed up, eager to quickly defeat Huangfu Ziyu. However, Huangfu Ziyu, this wicked woman, was not so easy to overcome. Although she wasn’t a match for these two, with her mastery of Wing Chun Fist, holding out for a while was not a problem.

Seeing the Sky-Piercing Mouse struggling increasingly, Helian Qingfeng finally couldn’t hold back, let out a long roar, and abruptly retreated from Huangfu Ziyu’s side. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a soft whip, and swung it effortlessly; the whip’s tip aimed directly toward Ye Qing’s wrist. Helian Qingfeng was ready to team up with the Sky-Piercing Mouse to deal with Ye Qing.

Ye Qing didn’t even dodge, just slashed the Seven-Star Ancient Sword to block the long whip. Unexpectedly, when the long whip encountered the Seven-Star Ancient Sword, it directly wrapped around the sword. Helian Qingfeng gave a fierce tug, and not only did the whip not break, but Ye Qing’s Seven-Star Ancient Sword was nearly snatched away from him.

Ye Qing was surprised that the long whip was so resilient that even the Seven-Star Ancient Sword couldn’t cut it. It was probably a famed instrument after all. Ye Qing focused intensely, gripping the sword hilt tightly and trying to pull it back. But Helian Qingfeng wouldn’t let go, and the two were locked in a tug-of-war.

Seeing the opportunity, the Sky-Piercing Mouse immediately rolled over to Ye Qing’s side and raised his hand to strike Ye Qing’s temple.

Ye Qing, holding the Seven-Star Ancient Sword and locked in a tug-of-war with Helian Qingfeng, had to fend off the Sky-Piercing Mouse with one hand, quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, and became somewhat haggard himself.

The Sky-Piercing Mouse, previously humiliated by Ye Qing, was filled with anger. Now, seizing the chance, he showed no mercy, unleashing all sorts of techniques against Ye Qing, intending to take Ye Qing’s life.

Seeing Ye Qing’s dangerous situation, Huangfu Ziyu was also anxious but couldn’t go over to help, so she shouted loudly, ”Two against one, is this what General Helian’s men do?”

Helian Qingfeng completely ignored Huangfu Ziyu and gritted his teeth, pulling at the long whip. With the whip wrapped around Ye Qing’s Seven-Star Ancient Sword, Ye Qing was put in a passive position. He either had to let go and face the Sky-Piercing Mouse with two hands, but then the Seven-Star Ancient Sword would be taken by Helian Qingfeng, or not give up the sword and fight the Sky-Piercing Mouse with one hand, which was even more dangerous. The Sky-Piercing Mouse’s strength was formidable, and Ye Qing with one hand was no match for him!

After nearly three minutes of fighting, Ye Qing had been punched several times by the Sky-Piercing Mouse, almost spitting blood, feeling extremely infuriated. Seeing the Sky-Piercing Mouse charge towards him again, he exerted force to pull the Seven-Star Ancient Sword back.

Helian Qingfeng, sensing Ye Qing’s effort, grabbed the whip with both hands and fiercely pulled it back. Unexpectedly, as he applied force, Ye Qing suddenly let go. The force of his backward pull was fully exerted on the Seven-Star Ancient Sword, which flew straight towards him like an arrow from a bowstring.

Helian Qingfeng didn’t expect Ye Qing to let go, and seeing the Seven-Star Ancient Sword coming at him fiercely, he was indeed startled and hurriedly jumped aside, narrowly dodging the sword. However, before he could steady himself, he heard the Sky-Piercing Mouse shout tensely from behind, ”Young Master, watch out!”

Helian Qingfeng quickly turned his head, but it was already too late. Unbeknownst to him, Ye Qing had rushed over, using a Stick to the Mountain technique to crash directly into him. Helian Qingfeng felt a powerful force hit him, sending him flying five or six meters backwards. If not for colliding with the concrete pillar behind him, he might not have landed yet.

This time, Helian Qingfeng lay limp on the ground; the power of Ye Qing’s Stick to the Mountain was truly terrifying. He had taken the full force of Ye Qing’s technique and was lucky not to spit blood, but his ribs were broken in two places, rendering him incapable of further combat.

Seeing this situation, the Sky-Piercing Mouse’s face turned pale instantly. He hurried over to shield Helian Qingfeng and watched Ye Qing nervously.

Ye Qing completely ignored him, walked over to pick up his Seven-Star Ancient Sword, and tossed the long whip back in front of the Sky-Piercing Mouse, coldly looking at Helian Qingfeng, saying loudly, ”That Stick to the Mountain just now is the most basic technique of Bajiquan, personally taught to me by my master, the Northern Fist King Li Changqing. How does it compare to your father’s Iron Sand Palm?”

Helian Qingfeng lay limply on the ground, enraged and humiliated by Ye Qing’s words. He opened his mouth to speak but ultimately lacked the strength, unable to say anything at all.
