Urban Martial Saint

However, when he saw Ye Qing make his move, he realized that he was wrong. Ye Qing’s current strength was so strong that it far exceeded his expectations. He didn’t even have time to react before Ye Qing’s fist was already in front of him. The speed was so fast that he couldn’t resist at all, and could only desperately dodge. But in the end, he was still a step too slow and was punched on the left arm by Ye Qing, causing him to let out a muffled groan of pain.

After taking this punch, Wan Yan Ming quickly stepped back several paces, looking at Ye Qing in panic, and said in a deep voice, ”Ye, how... how did your strength become so strong?”

Ye Qing sneered silently. He had experienced so many things during this period that it was difficult for his strength not to improve. That punch he just threw at Wan Yan Ming was from the unique skill he learned in Beimang Mountain. The power of that punch was collected using the Inner Strength from the martial arts left behind by the monk. And that speed was part of the Qinggong left behind by the Taoist.

Although Ye Qing couldn’t master the Light Body Skill left by the Taoist, he had at least looked at those diagrams, so he still had some memory in his heart. That Qinggong was very miraculous. Even if he couldn’t master it entirely, just learning the basics was enough to improve his speed by several times, far surpassing this Wan Yan Ming!

After receiving this punch, Wan Yan Ming was already clear about the gap in strength between himself and Ye Qing. Although his heart was full of unwillingness, he was not foolish. He was very clear that if he continued to fight Ye Qing, the one suffering losses would definitely be him. Therefore, he didn’t dare to stay, hurriedly turned around and wanted to escape.

”Where do you think you’re going!” Ye Qing coldly shouted, taking a step forward like an arrow and dashing in front of him. He swept his right elbow horizontally, aiming at Wan Yan Ming’s chest.

Wan Yan Ming hurriedly dodged and exclaimed, ”Ye Qing, what martial arts did you learn that made your strength so strong?”

Ye Qing ignored him, rushed up again, and punched with both fists towards Wan Yan Ming.

Wan Yan Ming tried his best to evade, but in the end, he was still a step too slow. He managed to dodge Ye Qing’s right fist but failed to avoid the left fist and was heavily struck by Ye Qing, sent flying. He crashed into the stone wall behind and spat out two mouthfuls of blood, obviously suffering internal injuries.

At this moment, Wan Yan Ming was entirely clear that he wasn’t a match for Ye Qing. So he got up from the ground, not intending to linger, and turned around to run, shouting loudly, ”Someone, help, someone is breaking into the Sky Prison!”

This was entirely an attempt by Wan Yan Ming to buy time, hoping for others to come to the Sky Prison to block Ye Qing. He himself didn’t dare to entangle with Ye Qing anymore because the difference in their strength levels was as vast as heaven and earth; he couldn’t match Ye Qing at all.

At this moment, Yelu Ying’s voice came from the side: ”Big brother Ye, everyone has been rescued, we can leave now!”

Ye Qing turned his head to look, and the ladies of the Yelu Family had all come out. The injured were being carried by those who were uninjured, and they were standing at the entrance of the Sky Prison.

”Alright, wait for a moment!” Ye Qing gathered his Inner Strength and rushed toward Wan Yan Ming again, striking with both fists towards his chest. He was indeed furious with Wan Yan Ming and was preparing to take his life with this punch.

At this moment, Wan Yan Ming was purely running for his life. Seeing Ye Qing make his move, he hurriedly stepped back, desperately dodging.

Seeing his fists miss Wan Yan Ming, Ye Qing kicked upwards fiercely, landing a kick right on Wan Yan Ming’s groin.

Wan Yan Ming let out a cry of pain, clutching his groin and stepping back several more paces in panic, his entire face turning crimson, showcasing the power of Ye Qing’s kick.

After kicking Wan Yan Ming, Ye Qing didn’t dare delay further, quickly turning and leading Yelu Ying and others out of the Sky Prison.

The people outside heard Wan Yan Ming’s shouts and were hurrying over. Fortunately, there was a courtyard at the Sky Prison, so people outside couldn’t see the situation inside very clearly.

Hearing the footsteps, Ye Qing took Yelu Family members through the back route and climbed over the wall to escape. Just then, two guards came over. Seeing someone climbing over the wall, they immediately tried to stop them, but Ye Qing took them out with one punch each, laying them flat on the ground.

”Follow me!” Ye Qing led the way with large strides, and Yelu Ying, with the others, followed closely behind without daring to slack.

Ye Qing specifically chose to run along the small paths among the flower beds and rockeries, avoiding several groups of guards, and finally arrived at the wall. He took out the Ice Silkworm Thread from his body, jumped to the top of the wall first, and then used the thread to pull the ladies of the Yelu Family over one by one.

Luckily, most of the guards had run towards the Sky Prison, so Ye Qing and the others didn’t encounter much resistance, easily climbing over and escaping from Wan Yan Manor. Of course, they didn’t dare delay. Once outside, they ran wildly, racing towards where the car was parked.

Inside the car, Wu Changming was anxiously waiting. Suddenly hearing people running over outside, he quickly stuck his head out to look. Seeing Yelu Ying and the others returning, Wu Changming breathed a long sigh of relief and couldn’t help it anymore, tears streaming down his face. Grasping the car door with one hand and jumping out with one leg, he kneeled on the ground, his voice trembling: ”Miss, you’ve suffered!”

Seeing the butler who had raised her since childhood, Yelu Ying was also full of tears. She quickly came over to help Wu Changming up, her voice trembling: ”Uncle Wu, don’t say that. You are the one who suffered!”

”As long as you, Miss, are safe, what does it matter if I suffer a bit!” Wu Changming turned his head to look at Ye Qing, his voice shaking: ”Mr. Ye, truly... thank you so much!”

”No need to be polite!” Ye Qing replied calmly.

”Ye...” Yelu Ying just wanted to speak, but then Old Wang Ba poked his head out of the car and said, ”Oh my goodness, are you all crazy? What time do you think it is? Still dawdling here? Aren’t we leaving? Are you waiting for the Wanyan family to catch up before you run?”

Everyone was startled, quickly scrambling into the car. Although there were many people, the car was spacious enough. And at this moment, who cared about being cramped? After they squeezed in, Ye Qing hurriedly drove along the path out of Jin Village.

They drove madly for over a hundred miles before everyone felt slightly at ease. Having run this far, it wouldn’t be easy for the Wanyan family to catch up with them.

”Where to now?” Ye Qing turned to look at everyone in the back.

Yelu Ying looked towards Wu Changming, and Wu Changming looked at Old Wang Ba. Ultimately, everyone’s gaze focused on Old Wang Ba.

”We’re still within the range of Tianzhao City, while this area of the Northern Desert is all under Prince Wan Yan’s territory. So, we must first leave the Northern Desert!” Old Wang Ba paused and said, ”However, leaving the Northern Desert makes a difference; the direction we choose matters. Heading west means entering the Northwest, where the situation is chaotic and the factions are complex. So even if we get to the Northwest, it might not be safe. Prince Wan Yan is aggressive enough to dare to enter and search for someone.”

”Where should we go then?” Ye Qing asked, puzzled, ”Should we head Northeast?”

”What the heck, did you fail geography?” Old Wang Ba glared, ”Going east doesn’t lead to the Northeast; it’s the Meng District!”

Ye Qing then remembered that the place between the Northern Desert and the Northeast is indeed the Meng District, Helian Tiehua’s Meng District.

”Then let’s go east!” Ye Qing said decisively.

”That’s right!” Old Wang Ba said, ”In the Northwest, Prince Wan Yan goes as he pleases. But the Meng District is different; it’s Great General Helian Tiehua’s domain. Ask yourself, how many dare to tread there lightly? Prince Wan Yan is currently amassing power and wouldn’t dare challenge the Great General. So, he absolutely wouldn’t dare step into the Meng District’s territory. We just need to enter the Meng District, and we’ll be safe!”

Ye Qing didn’t waste time and started the vehicle, heading east.

”How far is it to the Meng District now?” Yelu Ying couldn’t help asking.

”Judging by the situation, we should reach the Meng District by dawn,” Old Wang Ba said with a sigh, ”So, it’s best for everyone to pray that we aren’t caught by the Wanyan family’s people before dawn!”

Everyone looked worried. They were still in Tianzhao City, all within the Wanyan family’s grounds. No one could guarantee that they wouldn’t be caught by them!

Nobody spoke further. Ye Qing drove the car eastwards all the way until noon. No pursuers showed up, slightly easing everyone’s minds. At noon, they casually found a gas station to refuel the car and grabbed some lunch. After all, everyone had been on the move since the previous midnight without eating, and by now, they were almost starving.

Ye Qing drove the car to the gas station while the Yelu family crowd and Old Wang Ba went to buy food. As Ye Qing refueled, he leaned his head back on the seat, snatching a brief rest, having been driving for over ten hours. Even an iron body feels weary.

Ye Qing had dozed off for a moment. When he opened his eyes, the refueling was long done, and Yelu Ying was standing by the car door, looking at him in a trance.

Seeing Ye Qing awake, Yelu Ying seemed flustered, quickly turning her head aside and whispering, ”Ye, you’re awake.”

”How long did I sleep?” Ye Qing rubbed his temples and asked softly.

”Not even five minutes.” Yelu Ying handed Ye Qing a bottle of water, saying, ”The fuel is done, I saw you were too tired, so I didn’t wake you.”

”Oh.” Ye Qing nodded slightly, ”Have you all eaten?”

”Not yet; they’re still eating,” Yelu Ying said softly, ”Ye, I ordered some food for you, please go eat.”

”No need, just bring the food here. I’m not too hungry,” Ye Qing replied.

”How can that be? You were busy for so long yesterday and have been driving for such a long time, aren’t you hungry?” Yelu Ying said, ”Ye, you go eat, I’ll drive this afternoon. It’s okay, I can drive!”
