Urban Martial Saint

The crowd did not expect that Master Naikun’s ambition was so grand; his goal was to trample everyone under the heavens. This remark caused quite a few hearts at the scene to start pounding. Should they remain loyal to the Corpse Ghost Dragon, or follow Master Naikun in seeking the opportunity to trample everyone underfoot? This choice was, for a moment, truly difficult to make.

”Trample everyone underfoot?” From a distance, Ye Qing mocked, ”Hmph, Naikun, your words sound quite pleasant, but there’s something you haven’t made clear. Is it you who will trample everyone underfoot, or is it you all who will? When the time truly comes for you to have the world, I fear that even the people by your side will be trampled underfoot, won’t they?”

These words caused the sorcerers at the scene to change their expressions; what Ye Qing said was exactly what they worried about. Would Master Naikun stand as an equal with them?

With arrogance, Master Naikun retorted, ”Ye, you don’t need to sow discord here. Those who can endure hardships with me until the end will have the right to share this world with me!”

Master Naikun was telling these disciples: If you pledge allegiance to me and work for me, then you are qualified to share the world with me. But if you do not submit to me and do not work for me, then you are not qualified to share the world with me!

”Sow discord?” Ye Qing sneered and said, ”Naikun, you are well known to your disciples much better than me. Do they really need me to sow discord here? Just now, I rushed in and you could have stopped me, yet you let your disciples die first to see my strength, didn’t you? Hmph, now you treat them like this, I fear that should they really help you, most will die for you before getting the world, let alone talk of sharing it? To you, these disciples are just stepping stones to success. No matter what they do for you, even at the cost of their lives, you definitely won’t share anything with them!”

Ye Qing’s words evidently stirred up the sorcerers. Knowing Master Naikun’s nature well, they began to harbor opposition to Master Naikun in their hearts.

Master Naikun was furious; he had been working hard for so long to calm these disciples. But who would have expected that Ye Qing would repeatedly disrupt his plans, making the situation increasingly difficult to manage.

”Ye, shut up!” Master Naikun roared, waving his hand fiercely, and immediately, over ten poisonous hornets flew towards Ye Qing.

Although the venom of these hornets was strong, under Master Naikun’s control, they would only render Ye Qing unconscious rather than kill him. However, after rendering Ye Qing unconscious, he would be able to deceive his disciples without worrying about Ye Qing disrupting him.

Seeing this situation, Ye Qing not only didn’t retreat but instead leapt forward, charging straight towards Master Naikun while shouting loudly, ”Quick, run! I’ll hold Naikun off for you.”

The sorcerers were stunned, not immediately realizing what had happened. Meanwhile, Ye Qing brushed away all the hornets. With the power of Mu Ling, these poisonous insects had no effect on him. Instead, he leapt several times, directly reaching Master Naikun and struck towards him.

Faced with the fierce punch from Ye Qing, Master Naikun, unfazed, retaliated with a punch of his own, as if what he practiced wasn’t sorcery, but martial arts.

Their fists collided, and Ye Qing was immediately sent flying; Master Naikun’s strength was terrifyingly powerful. It’s worth noting that Ye Qing was using a method he learned in the cave, exerting full power, and this punch’s strength was comparable to that of top masters like Prince Wan Yan Bei Wuchen, and yet he was still knocked away?

From the earlier events, Ye Qing deduced that Master Naikun had certainly practiced the Mighty Power Curse. However, the power of his curse was evidently much stronger than the previous person. The sheer strength alone was comparable to that of the Five Uniques!

No wonder Ding Lianshun Yin Xianzi and the Bloody Monk were so certain about Master Naikun’s strength. This time, Ye Qing witnessed that Master Naikun’s power was indeed extraordinary and definitely someone he couldn’t match.

Fortunately, Ye Qing’s actions served as a reminder to the surrounding sorcerers. Some had already started to turn and run away. After all, the situation was clear: Master Naikun intended to betray the Corpse Ghost Dragon, and they couldn’t come to an agreement with him. Given Master Naikun’s nature, if they opposed him, he would certainly kill them. If they didn’t flee now, were they waiting here only to die?

As a few sorcerers began to flee, the others seemed to receive a signal and all turned to run. In an instant, all the sorcerers surrounding Master Naikun, except for the related Tama, had turned away, clearly intending to break ties with Master Naikun.

Seeing this, Master Naikun couldn’t help but panic. The current state showed that these sorcerers were no longer going to support him. Losing these helpers would undoubtedly make his endeavors more difficult. Yet, this was not the most critical issue. What mattered most was that these sorcerers knew how to release the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Should they escape and then free the dragon, Master Naikun would certainly be the first to die.

Therefore, under any circumstances, Master Nai Kun will not let these people escape. Seeing them flee, Master Nai Kun immediately let out a piercing whistle, summoning the poisonous insects to attack his junior brothers and sisters. As for him, he turned his head and glared viciously at Ye Qing.

”Ye, you’re really ruthless!” Master Nai Kun gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, word by word: ”After just exchanging a few words, you incited discord between me and my junior brothers and sisters, making me lose so many helpers. You truly have skill. But, do you really think you can topple me like this? Let me tell you, it’s impossible. These useless ones, keeping them around me, were just to run errands and die. They’re of no other use. Without them, I can still succeed. What you did won’t change the outcome at all!”

Those sorcerers around clearly heard Master Nai Kun’s words, and many turned their heads and shouted curses. However, they didn’t curse for long before falling silent because those poisonous insects had already surrounded them, and some had their bodies covered in insects, seemingly beyond saving now.

Ye Qing laughed loudly and said, ”Nai Kun, you’re quite confident, aren’t you? Do you really think you’re already invincible under the heavens?”

”I may not be now, but soon I will be!” Master Nai Kun coldly laughed as he looked at Ye Qing and said, ”Ye, I advise you to obediently reveal how to pass the final five checkpoints. I can spare your life, and you can share this world with me. If you refuse, that’s fine too. I’m a sorcerer, and forcing information from someone is no difficult task. But I’ll warn you, if you’re really unworthy to compete with me, once I find out what I want from you, I will definitely make you wish you were dead, making you taste the most painful experience in this world!”

”Nai Kun, I’ve said it, you’re too confident!” Ye Qing smiled and said, ”You say so much based on the assumption you can capture me. But you haven’t even assessed the situation yet. Do you really think you’ve already won?”

Master Nai Kun hesitated slightly and said in a deep voice, ”What do you mean by that?”

Ye Qing smiled and said, ”Nai Kun, do you really think I’d be stupid enough to come here alone and court death?”

”You... you brought reinforcements?” Master Nai Kun immediately tensed up and looked around, saying in a deep voice, ”So what? Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi are trapped on Beimang Mountain. Just who could you have brought? In Huaxia, there are truly few I care to notice!”

”Well, what a coincidence. The person I brought today might just be among those few!” Ye Qing smiled, turned his head, and shouted loudly, ”Uncle Shen, it’s your turn!”

”Uncle Shen?” Master Nai Kun looked in the direction Ye Qing was looking, utterly perplexed, and said, ”Where did you get an Uncle Shen?”

Before Master Nai Kun’s words had fully fallen, a figure suddenly leapt out from behind the first fake mountain in the distance, soaring into the air several meters high like an eagle. Then, like an eagle hunting a rabbit, he swooped straight at Master Nai Kun, reaching him almost instantaneously.

During this process, Master Nai Kun hadn’t yet clearly seen the appearance of the newcomer, only feeling a fierce wind bearing down on him, nearly suffocating him. Master Nai Kun was an extremely shrewd individual, knowing the situation was dire. He immediately exerted all his strength, punching heavily back to fend off the attack.

However, he clearly underestimated the newcomer’s strength. When their fists collided, Master Nai Kun looked as if he had been hit by a truck, flying backward directly, smashing into the wall behind, collapsing half of it, and falling into the rubble, struggling a bit before getting up.

Fortunately, Master Nai Kun had also practiced Fossil Sorcery, making his body extremely resilient, so he was able to stand up. If it were an ordinary person, that punch would have been fatal.

Master Nai Kun crawled out from the ruins, only to see an old man of tall stature standing next to Ye Qing. The old man’s expression was as serene as water, standing proudly with hands behind his back. Just by standing there, his demeanor as a grandmaster of a generation was fully displayed.

Seeing the newcomer’s face, Master Nai Kun’s expression drastically changed, trembling as he said, ”Sou... Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun! How is it you?”
