Urban Martial Saint

”What the hell?” Zou Huanglong froze once again. He clearly heard what Ye Qing said. However, he really doubted whether he misheard. At such a critical moment, Ye Qing was still thinking about going to Changshui City? This guy is being too careless!

”Three tickets to Changshui City.” Ye Qing glanced at Zou Huanglong and said, ”If you can’t buy them, it’s no trouble, I can go to Changshui City tomorrow.”

”This... this is not troublesome, I... I’ll have someone get them for you right away...” Zou Huanglong was about to go crazy, suspecting he hadn’t slept enough and was hallucinating. How could the State Security Department send such a person? Moreover, even the Military Department is required to assist him unconditionally. What exactly is Ye Qing capable of?

”Thank you then.” Ye Qing smiled and said, ”Officer Zou, please make arrangements first, have your men ready to prevent those mercenaries from coming out. Of course, the most important thing is to not let them break into that residential house randomly; we’ll handle the matters inside.”

”Are you really going in just like this?” Zou Huanglong asked one last time.

”Of course, what else would I do?” Ye Qing retorted.

Zou Huanglong closed his mouth, waved his hand at Ye Qing, and simply stopped talking, heading over to arrange military matters himself.

Ye Qing watched from the side. After seeing Zou Huanglong arrange the soldiers on the perimeter, he walked straight toward Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun.

The two were watching Ye Qing from a distance. As they saw him approaching, they started to retreat. Ye Qing had told them to keep a thirty-meter distance, and they truly dared not get too close, as any accident could be troublesome.

”Mr. Ding, Fairy Yin.” Ye Qing waved at them with a smile and said, ”No need to leave, I have something to discuss with you both.”

Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun glanced at each other, then turned to look at Ye Qing. Ding Lianshun said in a deep voice, ”Ye, what is there to discuss between us?”

”You two don’t need to be like this. Hear me out.” Ye Qing smiled, ”In that residential house, there’s another group with some matters to settle with me. Originally, I planned to go in directly to find them, but then I thought, I’m carrying a bomb pack, perhaps going in might be inconvenient. Imagine if a bullet grazes it, then what? Bullets have no eyes, a slight touch could trigger the pack, and that’d be a problem.”

”Can’t you just not go in then?” Ding Lianshun said grumpily.

”That’s what I was thinking.” Ye Qing laughed, ”I was considering not going in because it’s too dangerous.”

”Then why are you wasting time!” Ding Lianshun said, ”If you’re not going in, let’s leave!”

”No rush.” Ye Qing shook his head and said, ”Mr. Ding, let me finish. I was thinking, maybe I shouldn’t go in. But the matter here is something I have to deal with. Therefore, I was thinking, why don’t Mr. Ding and Fairy Yin go inside and handle the people for me? This way, I won’t need to go in, and the matter can be resolved, safe and convenient. What do you think?”

Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi exchanged a glance. Ding Lianshun almost lost it and pointed at Ye Qing, angrily saying, ”Ye, you’re ordering us around!”

”Ye Qing, you’re too much!” Yin Xianzi frowned deeply and said in a serious tone, ”We’re here to protect you, not to work for you. You dare to instruct us to deal with these enemies for you, do you really think we’re here to do your bidding?”

”How could this be called ordering?” Ye Qing said, ”I’m just discussing with you two. Anyway, if I go in, you two will need to protect me, right? So why not just go in and resolve this for me directly. Since we all know I’m strapped with explosives, going in personally makes it extraordinarily risky. Do you think I should take the risk, or should I stay outside safely while you two put in some effort to solve this?”

”Ye, don’t think we will do your bidding!” Ding Lianshun said angrily, ”We’re not going in!”

”I see, then I apologize for speaking out of turn.” Ye Qing shook his head and said, ”Since you two don’t want to go in, I’ll go in first. Remember, we agreed to keep thirty meters apart.”

As Ye Qing said this, he turned to head towards that residential house. Ding Lianshun’s face changed, and Yin Xianzi said immediately, ”Wait.”

”What is it?” Ye Qing turned back to look at them.

Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi were trembling with anger. Yin Xianzi gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and said, ”Fine, we’ll go in and handle those people for you, you don’t need to go in!”

”Red-Striped Snake!” Ding Lianshun immediately looked at Yin Xianzi and said, ”How can you do his bidding?”

”What else can we do?” Yin Xianzi said in a low voice, ”If he goes in, we still have to go in to protect him, don’t we? The task of dealing with these people ultimately falls on us. But Ye Qing is strapped with explosives, if something happens to him inside, how do we explain it to the Heavenly Master?”

”This...” Ding Lianshun looked deeply frustrated and said, ”Are we really going to be his free enforcers?”

”We have no choice, we have this task!” Yin Xianzi shook her head helplessly and said, ”Let’s just see it through. We took on the task to protect him, we have to see it to the end. If he dies, the Heavenly Master’s many years of planning will be ruined, and we’d lose our opportunity, can you accept that?”

Ding Lianshun was silent for a while, gritting his teeth and saying, ”If it weren’t for this opportunity, I’d never help this Ye, even if it kills me!”

”Stop saying that, now the key is to follow our plan step by step without any mistakes!” Yin Xianzi looked at Ye Qing from a distance and whispered, ”Eventually, we will settle accounts with him. Don’t worry about these small matters. After all, it’s just killing some useless mercenaries, it’s no big deal. It’s not like he’s leading us against the Five Uniques or something. Killing these mercenaries is a small effort!”

Ding Lianshun nodded, knowing killing these mercenaries was indeed easy for them and just a matter of effort. The real problem was having to do these tasks for Ye Qing, which made them feel like his henchmen, the most infuriating aspect.

Ding Lianshun took a deep breath, looked at the residential house, then at Ye Qing, and said, ”Get out of the way, don’t block the road!”

Ye Qing immediately stepped aside, not showing any anger at Ding Lianshun’s words, but rather smiled and said, ”Be careful, both of you, there might be two snipers lying in ambush inside, possibly on the rooftop’s northeast corner and the attic on the second floor. So you must be especially cautious in those areas when you go in. Also, we’ve been standing outside for a while, the people inside might have already noticed us, so they might be on alert. You might encounter resistance from inside when you go in, be careful.”

”Shut up!” Ding Lianshun shouted angrily and, together with Yin Xianzi, turned to run towards the residential house.

Zou Huanglong, with a team, was watching from a distance. He hadn’t heard what Ye Qing, Ding Lianshun, and Yin Xianzi were talking about. But when he saw them suddenly turning and running towards the residential house, it stunned him; isn’t this seeking death?

However, upon a closer look, he suddenly realized something was off. Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi were originally about twenty meters away from the house, but in just a blink of an eye, they both reached the outside of the house, their speed so fast, leaving no time for reaction.

”That’s too fast!” A soldier next to Zou Huanglong exclaimed.

Zou Huanglong rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things. However, looking closely, Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi were nowhere to be found.

”Where are they?” Zou Huanglong asked in wonder, and before he finished speaking, there were several gunshots from the yard. Shortly after, two screams came from the rooftop, with each scream corresponding to a person falling from the northeast corner and the attic of the second floor.

Zou Huanglong was stunned; the fight inside started so quickly. Importantly, the ones who died were not Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun, but two mercenaries. Wasn’t expecting that.

”Snipers! Snipers!” A nearby soldier exclaimed excitedly.

”What snipers?” Zou Huanglong asked, but before he finished, the soldier excitedly said, ”This group had two snipers, and both of them have been dealt with!”

”How?” Zou Huanglong widened his eyes in astonishment, saying, ”How did those two snipers get taken down?”

The soldiers around him shook their heads. None of them had seen how the snipers were taken down. But it was clear that dealing with these two snipers was shocking, as a sniper is the most terrifying character and the greatest threat in a team.
