Urban Martial Saint

The white-haired Ding San stood in front of the Bloody Monk, holding the enormous door, just as before. With one sweep of the door, over a dozen human puppets were smashed into a bloody mess by him, showing extraordinary power. At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for him to kill all these human puppets.

Over there, Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi were instead quite leisurely. The human puppets passed by them without a glance, leaving the two with nothing to do.

Ye Qing ran to the child with the medicine bottle, releasing the child from the beam and quickly pouring some medicine into the child’s mouth. The child hadn’t eaten in a while, and now he devoured the food ravenously. If Ye Qing wasn’t holding the medicine bottle, he might have swallowed it too.

After feeding the child the medicine, Ye Qing stood beside him, watching him nervously. Even though the Bloody Monk said the medicine would work, Ye Qing was still worried. Until he saw the child fully recover, he couldn’t be at ease.

Five minutes after taking the medicine, the child suddenly opened his mouth and vomited, just like the Little Xie couple’s child before. He vomited a lot, including the maternal bug and the placenta used for cultivating a living corpse. After throwing all of this up, the child fainted directly on the ground.

Seeing the child vomit everything out, Ye Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Having experienced this before, he knew that spitting everything out meant the child’s Great Food Descent and Living Corpse Curse were cured, and the child had regained a life.

It seems what the Bloody Monk said was true, this medicine can indeed save lives.

Ye Qing picked up the child and looked back, the white-haired Ding San was still guarding in front of the Bloody Monk, continuously using the door to smash those human puppets. Now a pile of corpses is accumulated around them, showing how many human puppets Ding San has killed.

However, there were still many human puppets left around, still rushing towards the two of them.

The Bloody Monk was standing on a high platform, holding that sorcerer, quietly watching Ding San use the door to smash the human puppets, without ever stepping in to help. He even stopped Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi when they wanted to join in, as if he intended for Ding San to handle all the human puppets by himself.

Ye Qing originally wanted to help, but seeing the Bloody Monk’s attitude, he simply did what Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi did, standing aside to watch. After all, the child’s sorcery had already been resolved and there was no rush now, better to see what the Bloody Monk planned to do.

What puzzled Ye Qing the most was how the Bloody Monk suddenly appeared at this moment. He remembered hearing in Shenchuan City that the Bloody Monk left with everyone from Sha Men, supposedly for something important. It had been a while since he last saw them, how did they happen to appear here now?

Furthermore, the Bloody Monk mentioned killing over a dozen sorcerers in recent days. What exactly was he doing, why was he confronting these sorcerers? Could the important thing he had to do be dealing with these sorcerers?

Ye Qing couldn’t believe that the Bloody Monk would concern himself with others’ lives or deaths. No matter how Ye Qing thought about it, he believed the Bloody Monk wouldn’t take on these sorcerers unless there was a grudge. But who among the sorcerers would dare to provoke someone like the Bloody Monk? Also, with both the Bloody Monk and Ding San here, where was the Seven Hidden of Sha Men? Where were those people now?

These questions lingered in Ye Qing’s mind, always perplexing him. Meanwhile, Ding San fought more courageously, taking about an hour to eliminate all the human puppets. Ding San was covered in blood, bitten all over, with no part of him intact. Yet, he didn’t seem to feel any pain.

Ding San threw away the red door, retrieved the Murderer’s Knife and Manual from his body, and walked straight into the pile of corpses. Under Ye Qing’s watchful gaze, the surrounding blood started flowing towards him, as if drawn by something.

Ye Qing had seen this scene before; it was the process of Ding San using the Murderer’s Manual and Knife to swap blood for himself. After each kill, he would exchange blood with the deceased. After each blood exchange, his strength would increase, and his injuries would quickly heal. So, Ding San was essentially an undying body now, and the more he killed, the stronger he became.

Ye Qing couldn’t even imagine how many people Ding San had killed to possess such strength. Actually, regarding this matter, Ye Qing harbored some hostility towards the Bloody Monk. Transforming Ding San to this level of strength was all at the cost of human lives. Ding San’s hands were drenched in blood, yet the Bloody Monk kept pushing him to kill, and it was all for human lives.

Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun were witnessing Ding San’s blood exchange process for the first time, and were somewhat shocked. They never imagined that the Murderer’s Manual and Knife could boost one’s strength this way. Seeing Ding San being enveloped by blood, the two showed signs of aversion on their faces.

Ding Lianshun glanced at the Bloody Monk, saying, ”Blood Robe Sect Leader, long time no see, your killing machine grows ever stronger, huh?”

”At least against your Twelve Green Halls, it’s not challenging!” the Bloody Monk replied coldly. He maintained this attitude towards both the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance and the Twelve Green Halls.

”Is that so?” Ding Lianshun sneered, casting a look at Ding San, he stated, ”That level of strength might not be enough yet?”

”Do you want to try?” the Bloody Monk barked coldly.

Before Ding Lianshun could speak, Yin Xianzi quickly interjected, ”Blood Robe Sect Leader, thank you for earlier!”

”No need for pleasantries, I didn’t come to save people but for this sorcerer!” the Bloody Monk said, ”So no need to thank me, nor feel grateful. When we meet again, whether friends or foes, it’s uncertain. Don’t be indebted so early!”

The Bloody Monk’s words made Yin Xianzi frown slightly. She looked at the corpses of the human puppets around, saying, ”Does the sect leader have grudges with this sorcerer?”

”No grudges,” the Bloody Monk paused, said, ”But these sorcerers created many human puppets in Huaxia, which Ding San could conveniently use for training. So, I decided to bring Ding San to find these sorcerers, helping him enhance his cultivation power!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing and the others suddenly realized why the Bloody Monk neither helped himself nor allowed them to help Ding San. It turns out he wanted Ding San to kill these human puppets to boost his strength. Now everyone finally understood why Ding San’s strength improved so quickly. It seems he dealt with quite a few human puppets during this period!

”How many sorcerers did the sect leader kill?” Ye Qing asked urgently, ”How many children raised as living corpses has the sect leader encountered?”

The Bloody Monk glanced at the child in Ye Qing’s arms, said, ”I’ve seen three children raised as living corpses. I saved two, but arrived too late for one, it had already become a living corpse and was taken by a sorcerer.”

”Oh?” Yin Xianzi asked in surprise, ”Which sorcerer could escape in front of the sect leader?”

The Bloody Monk paused slightly, said, ”I suspect that person is Master Naikun!”

The expressions of Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun changed. They knew well of Master Naikun, currently the most powerful sorcerer in Nanyang. It wouldn’t be too difficult for him to escape from the sect leader.

Hearing that the Bloody Monk had saved two children, Ye Qing took a long breath and said, ”The Blood Robe Sect Leader has helped save two of these children, that can be considered a good deed, which will surely earn good karma in the future.”

”Nonsense!” scoffed the Bloody Monk coldly, ”That nonsense about good deeds and karma? I don’t believe in any of that!”

The Bloody Monk’s words furrowed Yin Xianzi’s brow. She glanced at the bodies of the human puppets and said, ”I heard you left with all the sect members to do something important. Were you out to deal with these sorcerers?”

”Why not?” the Bloody Monk retorted.

”It’s not that!” Yin Xianzi replied, ”But if the sect leader was taking action against these sorcerers, isn’t that something I would fully support? These sorcerers are too sinister and their methods very cruel, so they deserve to be eradicated by all...”

”Don’t give me those pretentious speeches,” the Bloody Monk scoffed, ”If your Twelve Green Halls hadn’t let all those sorcerers in, how could so many have entered Huaxia? Red-Striped Snake, we all know what’s going on, don’t try to trick me. Let’s speak openly.”

Ye Qing’s expression changed at these words. He looked at Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun, and said in a deep voice, ”Yin Xianzi, Mr. Ding, were those sorcerers let in by the Twelve Green Halls?”
