Urban Martial Saint

Shen Tianjun’s eyes flashed with a trace of brilliance. He wanted to cure Shen Lingwei’s eyes, but several herbs were still missing. This time, as the Medicine King Mountain opened, he hoped to collect these herbs. However, in fact, he still felt a bit uneasy, as these herbs had been lost for a long time. If they couldn’t be found on Medicine King Mountain either, then Shen Lingwei’s eyes might be doomed.

Now, hearing what Ning Qianshu said, Shen Tianjun felt as if he had taken a calming pill, finally feeling much more at ease. After all, Ning Qianshu was someone who came from Medicine King Mountain, and he was very familiar with the situation there.

Ning Qianshu took out the Flower of Life and Death and squeezed it casually, turning it into powder. Ning Qianshu sprinkled the powder onto Master Naikun, and everyone heard Master Naikun’s scream become even more shrill, much worse than the first time he was surrounded by Bone-Attaching Maggots, which proved that the Flower of Life and Death was truly effective.

Not long after, Master Naikun slowly collapsed to the ground, and the white powder gradually dispersed. Everyone finally saw Master Naikun’s current state.

Master Naikun’s entire body was decaying, with not a single intact place, the result of corrosion by the Bone-Attaching Maggots. Moreover, the most shocking thing was his body was continuously oozing black liquid. In no time, this black liquid soaked all his clothes, and Master Naikun gradually ceased struggling, lying motionless on the ground.

”Is he... is he actually dead?” Ye Qing asked softly. To be honest, after encountering numerous sorcerers, Ye Qing had become much more cautious. Several times before, sorcerers had seemed dead, yet still lived, almost causing great harm to Ye Qing and his brothers. This time, Ye Qing posed the question for fear of any further unexpected outcomes.

Shen Tianjun walked over, observed closely, and nodded slowly. With his power, he didn’t need to touch Master Naikun’s body to clearly sense his heartbeat and breathing. Master Naikun now, completely lacked both heartbeat and breath.

”He is definitely dead!” Ning Qianshu chuckled: ”People like him who practice the Undead Descent fear breaking their power most. Once their power breaks, death is unavoidable. Otherwise, with the power of the Undead Descent, why would Nanyang have but one person practicing it?”

”Has his power truly broken?” Ye Qing was curious.

”Of course, look at this black liquid, it’s the Five Poisons Liquid from his body. Also, if you closely observe, the black liquid has an oily texture, which is a result of mixing with Corpse Oil,” Ning Qianshu explained: ”For the Undead Descent, the sign of broken power is the retreat of the Five Poisons and the dispersion of Corpse Oil. He is now in this condition.”

With both Ning Qianshu and Shen Tianjun confirming Master Naikun’s death, Ye Qing was no longer worried. He moved aside, fetched two buckets of gasoline, and prepared to pour it over Master Naikun’s corpse.

”What are you doing?” Ning Qianshu quickly reached out to stop Ye Qing.

”Burning his body,” Ye Qing replied, ”His body is covered in toxic liquid. Keeping it here is a danger. If ordinary people come into contact with it, it would surely harm innocents!”

”Hmph, if you burn it, more people will die!” Ning Qianshu stated: ”His body now contains the Five Poisons, Corpse Oil, and Bone-Attaching Maggots, making it highly toxic. Most importantly, these toxins enhance each other’s toxicity and may cause the poison to not disperse. So, this poison should never be burned. Once burned, the poison will evaporate into a gaseous form and spread. These gases are also extremely toxic. If spread to residential areas, it won’t be just one or two people dying. If the wind blows, the whole town might have to accompany him in death!”

Hearing Ning Qianshu’s words, Ye Qing couldn’t help but draw a breath of cold air. Fortunately, Ning Qianshu warned him, or else he might have already burned Master Naikun’s body, causing a great disaster by now!

”Then how should this body be dealt with?” Ye Qing was curious.

Ning Qianshu replied: ”This poison has no processing method. The only feasible way is to bury the body as deep as possible. As long as nobody touches it, no one will be poisoned, and in a few decades, the poison will have gradually dissipated, and the issue will be resolved entirely.”

”So, we need to find a place to bury him?” Ye Qing looked around. The surrounding area was flat land, making burying relatively easy. However, he was still hesitant, as this place was too open and might develop over time. No matter how deep he buried him, someone might eventually dig him up,

Ning Qianshu laughed: ”You could leave him here, after all, it’s not you who’s going to die!”

Ye Qing frowned slightly. Ning Qianshu’s personality was different from Bai Li Xi’s. Compared to Bai Li Xi, Ning Qianshu seemed more sinister.

”We’ll deal with this person later.” Shen Tianjun quietly watched Ning Qianshu, speaking in a deep voice: ”Ning Qianshu, since you’re here today, it saves me the trouble of looking for you.”

Ning Qianshu said: ”Shen, I already made it clear. There’s no right or wrong in the feud between the Twelve Green Halls and the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance. You’re neither part of the Twelve Green Halls nor the Seven Steering Committees, so why interfere?”

”I truly have no connection with the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance or the Twelve Green Halls, and I have no desire to meddle in their affairs. However...” Shen Tianjun paused, speaking solemnly: ”The Huangfu Household was on good terms with the Shen Family. Huangfu is my friend. Years ago, you schemed against the Huangfu Household, leaving none alive but Huangfu Ziyu. This blood debt, today, I must seek justice for the Huangfu Household!”

”So, in the end, you’re here to keep me here today, Shen!” Ning Qianshu wasn’t worried but laughed. He assessed Shen Tianjun from top to bottom, stating: ”But Shen, I think you won’t be able to kill me today!”

”Is that so?” Shen Tianjun slowly took a step forward, quietly looking at Ning Qianshu, and said, ”Or perhaps we can give it a try!”

As Shen Tianjun said this, although he did not make a move, his aura suddenly surged. His clothes fluttered without wind, and the air around seemed to solidify. A powerful pressure made Ye Qing, standing in the distance, feel close to suffocation. The aura of one of the Five Uniques and a Grandmaster of a Generation was finally revealed at this moment. Not to mention anything else, just this aura was comparable to that of the Great General Helian Tiehua, swallowing the world in grandeur!

Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun, a martial arts legend in the Southern Six Provinces for decades, was certainly not a man of empty reputation!

Facing the aura of Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun, Ning Qianshu was somewhat surprised, clearly shocked by Shen Tianjun’s strength. However, there was still little worry on his face, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

”Shen, when it comes to fighting, I’m certainly not your opponent. However, we may not have to fight at all!” Ning Qianshu smiled faintly and said, ”I admit, if you wish, Shen, you could easily take my life here today. But, Shen, if you kill me, the Medicine King Mountain may not be unlocked!”

As Shen Tianjun’s aura had already surged, his hands clenched into fists, ready to strike at any moment. Upon hearing Ning Qianshu’s words, Shen Tianjun paused slightly, frowned at Ning Qianshu, and said in a deep voice, ”What do you mean?”

”Shen, you probably know that to enter the Medicine King Mountain, one must hold the Divine Doctor’s Order.” Ning Qianshu smiled and said, ”But do you know why having the Divine Doctor’s Order is necessary?”

”Why?” Shen Tianjun asked.

”Because only when all eight Divine Doctor’s Orders are in place can the mechanisms of the Medicine King Mountain be unlocked, allowing the mountain to reappear in the world!” Ning Qianshu said, ”Eight Divine Doctor’s Orders, not one fewer. Even one short, and the Medicine King Mountain cannot reopen.”

Saying this, Ning Qianshu smiled and said, ”Shen, as a direct disciple of Divine Doctor An Shiping, do you think I wouldn’t have a Divine Doctor’s Order in my possession?”

Shen Tianjun’s expression changed; he finally understood why Ning Qianshu dared to come here so boldly, as it turns out, he had something to rely on.

Ning Qianshu smiled and said, ”Shen, kill me, and you’ll never get these Divine Doctor’s Orders. By then, if the Medicine King Mountain doesn’t open, won’t your granddaughter’s eyes go untreated?”

Shen Tianjun was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, ”Ning Qianshu, this debt will be settled eventually!”

”We’ll deal with future matters in the future.” Ning Qianshu smiled faintly and said, ”Since you’re no longer making things difficult for me, Shen, let me tell you something else. Actually, this second matter is my main purpose for coming here this time.”

”Speak!” Shen Tianjun said in a deep voice.

Ning Qianshu smiled, turned to look at Ye Qing, and said, ”This second matter is actually to be said to this young brother here.”

Shen Tianjun glanced at Ye Qing, slightly surprised, not knowing what Ning Qianshu wanted to say to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing himself was full of doubts. This was his first meeting with Ning Qianshu, and not only did Ning Qianshu show no intention of making things difficult for him, but his attitude seemed rather favorable. What was going on?

Ning Qianshu said, ”Ye brothers, you should have learned the method to unlock the Devouring Demon Flower from these sorcerers, right?”

”How do you know?” Ye Qing asked in surprise, wondering how Ning Qianshu seemed to know everything, even though he just appeared now.

”I guessed.” Ning Qianshu smiled and said, ”It seems my guess wasn’t wrong, but this also proves that I didn’t misjudge you. You are indeed trying to save the Cyclops and the Red-Striped Snake.”

Ye Qing snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, ”I’m trying to save Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi because they saved my life. A drop of kindness should be repaid with a fountain of reward, that’s my principle.”

By saying this, Ye Qing was implying to Ning Qianshu that although he is trying to save Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi, he still had no ties with the Twelve Green Halls.
