Urban Martial Saint

Walking out of this small mountain group, Ye Qing had essentially reached the northern side of Humeng City, and Dragon Burial Mountain was located to the north of Humeng City.

Ye Qing looked at the position of Dragon Burial Mountain, estimated the distance, and found himself about twenty kilometers away from there. At his speed, it would take one or two hours to get there. Of course, this is assuming nothing unexpected happens along the way. The closer he got, the more vigilant Ye Qing became. This is because experts from everywhere were converging on Humeng City, aiming to seize the Sun Shooting Bow. Encountering them on the road would not be a good thing.

Moreover, Prince Wan Yan was also here, which was the most troublesome thing. Ye Qing not only had to guard against people from the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance but also had to be wary of this Prince Wan Yan. After all, given the enmity between Ye Qing and him, if Ye Qing encountered Prince Wan Yan on the road, the prince would definitely not let Ye Qing go!

So, walking here, Ye Qing became even more cautious. Fortunately, approaching this area, there were slightly more mountains, and there were also more trees by the roadside, making it more convenient to hide.

Ye Qing didn’t dare to take the main road; he still walked across the grassland in the direction of Dragon Burial Mountain. After less than ten minutes of walking, Ye Qing heard the sound of fighting from afar.

Ye Qing had been extremely vigilant all the way, so upon hearing the sounds of fighting, he immediately hid behind a pile of giant rocks on the side. Then, he quietly climbed up the pile and looked towards the direction of the fight.

The fight took place in a small grove less than fifty meters away, and Ye Qing could see clearly that over twenty people were gathered in that grove. However, not all of them were fighting together; only two people were engaged in combat, while the others stood around as if watching the fight.

The sky was dark, and with the fight being far away, Ye Qing couldn’t see the appearances of the two combatants clearly. But from a distance, both seemed to be quite strong. However, one of them was slightly better, completely overwhelming the other.

The fight didn’t last long before the stronger one found a flaw, rushed to the weaker one’s front, and threw a heavy punch. The weaker one was sent flying by the punch, fell to the ground, struggled to stand, but couldn’t remain stable.

Ye Qing watched for a while without intending to intervene. Those coming here to seize the Sun Shooting Bow were bound to have such conflicts; it was all too common. Ye Qing couldn’t possibly get involved in each one.

He climbed down from the rock pile, preparing to bypass that small grove to head to Dragon Burial Mountain. Suddenly, an angry shout came from that direction: ”Liu Mubai, do you really think you alone can protect these few useless people?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing shuddered.

Liu Mubai!? Liu Mubai is here?

Ye Qing immediately jumped down from the rock pile and ran over to take a closer look. In the grove, the man who had just won stood with his hands behind his back. Looking closely, that man’s figure did indeed resemble Liu Mubai. Why was he here?

The last time Liu Mubai helped Ye Qing hide the Gold Silk Armor in the orphanage, he left again to search for Huangfu Ziyu for Ye Qing. Ye Qing hadn’t seen him for quite some time. How did he come to be in Humeng City? And what was the situation now, who were these people he was fighting?

Ye Qing didn’t have time to think more, hesitated no longer, and quickly ran towards that grove. This man was Liu Mubai, Ye Qing’s brother, no matter what was happening over there, Ye Qing had to help him.

In the small grove, Liu Mubai seemed to be protecting a few people. He stood among them, saying something to the group facing him. Another person stepped out from that group and suddenly dashed towards Liu Mubai, and the two quickly engaged in a fight.

By this time, Ye Qing was close enough to see the situation clearly. Liu Mubai had several wounds, with blood staining his clothes in several large patches. Although he was slightly stronger and had the upper hand in his fight with that man, judging by his condition, he probably wouldn’t last long. He was putting in too much effort, and blood was still oozing from his wounds.

Seeing this situation, Ye Qing’s anxiety grew. Liu Mubai seemed to be seriously injured, and these people were using a wheel battle strategy against him. If Ye Qing hadn’t come over tonight, Liu Mubai might have been in grave danger.

Despite his serious injuries, Liu Mubai’s strength was still formidable. The young man he was fighting was far inferior to Liu Mubai. After a short clash, Liu Mubai grabbed the young man’s collar and threw him to the side.

”This is the fourth bout!” Liu Mubai looked at the group opposite him coldly and said in a deep voice, ”Who’s next?”

”Liu Mubai, do you think you can really endure through ten bouts?” An old man from that side gazed coldly at him and said in a deep voice, ”This matter is none of your concern, do not meddle. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

”Hmph!” Liu Mubai snorted coldly, saying: ”In the past, when there was no food to eat, Auntie’s family supported me and my sister. I, Liu Mubai, didn’t receive much education, but I understand the importance of gratitude and repayment. Although you have occupied Auntie’s property, you still want to annihilate them. How can I, Liu Mubai, allow that?”

The old man sneered and said, ”What a joke, that was originally the Zhou Family’s property, how can you say we are occupying it?”

”Zhou Tianming, do you not speak reasonably?” A woman on this side couldn’t help but say, ”How is that your Zhou Family’s property? That’s the inheritance my father left for us, my father was no longer a part of the Zhou Family long ago, what gives you the right to seize this inheritance? Big Brother Liu, don’t listen to him, the people of the Zhou Family are so shameless!”

The old man Zhou Tianming’s face instantly looked a bit embarrassed, and he said solemnly, ”Hmph, ignorant junior, what do you know? What do you mean your father left that inheritance, your father stole so many things from the Zhou Family when he left years ago. Us Zhou Family people are shameless? Hmph, if we really were unreasonable, would we still be entangled here with this Liu? If we all rushed forward, even if this Liu had three heads and six arms, he’d be dead by now!”

”Zhou Tianming, don’t make it sound so good!” Another woman also said indignantly, ”You clearly ambushed Big Brother Liu first, causing him such severe injuries. Then you tried to play the good guy, talking about a single duel, isn’t it just to save some face? And the result? You’ve lost every round in this battle of attrition, all your face is lost, hmph, isn’t it?”

Zhou Tianming frowned deeply, but just as he was about to speak, Liu Mubai impatiently said, ”Next, who’s coming?”

”Big Brother Liu.” A woman on this side said nervously, ”You’ve suffered such severe injuries, you can’t fight anymore...”

”I’m fine!” Liu Mubai looked coldly at Zhou Tianming and the others opposite him, his expression was particularly serious.

Zhou Tianming frowned tightly. He glanced at Liu Mubai’s injuries, was slightly silent for a moment, and then turned to a middle-aged man and said, ”You’re up!”

”Yes!” The middle-aged man nodded, and walked forward with a calm demeanor. Compared to the previous few people, this middle-aged man’s presence was much stronger.

”Zhou Tianhao!” Several women on this side gasped, and one of them said urgently, ”Big Brother Liu, this is Zhou Tianhao, the third-ranking expert in the Zhou Family, you... you must be careful...”

Liu Mubai slightly frowned, if he weren’t injured, dealing with this guy wouldn’t be difficult. But, he was so seriously injured, and he had just fought several rounds in succession, almost exhausting his strength. Fighting such an expert again, the difficulty was not low at all.

On this side, Zhou Tianming’s mouth also carried a trace of a cold smile. The reason he sent those few people before was to deliberately deplete Liu Mubai’s strength. Then sending this guy was to prepare to defeat Liu Mubai once and for all!

Zhou Tianhao quietly walked up to Liu Mubai, and the women behind Liu Mubai all looked horrified. One woman couldn’t help but run to Liu Mubai, blocking Zhou Tianhao, and said anxiously, ”Zhou Tianming, you’ve already taken our inheritance, why do you have to kill us to the last one? And besides, Big Brother Liu isn’t even from the Zhou Family, this matter shouldn’t involve Big Brother Liu at all!”

”Hmph, he brought this on himself, can’t blame us!” Zhou Tianming said coldly, ”Liu Mubai, if you kneel down and admit your mistake now, there’s no need to fight this round.”

”Admit mistake?” Liu Mubai laughed coldly and said, ”Only if there is a mistake in the first place. I have no fault at all, why should I admit a mistake?”

”Does that mean you’re prepared to fight all ten rounds?” Zhou Tianming said furiously, ”Alright, let’s start then, no need to waste time!”

”You...” The woman still wanted to speak, but was grabbed by Liu Mubai, who pushed her to his back.

”Big Brother Liu!” The women on this side couldn’t help but exclaim softly, each with a face of panic and worry.

Zhou Tianhao glanced at Liu Mubai, snorted coldly, and swung a fist towards Liu Mubai.

As the saying goes, when an expert takes action, you immediately know if they’re there. As soon as Zhou Tianhao made a move, you could see the difference between him and the previous few people. Liu Mubai only felt a gust of force approaching, the pressure was enormous. Facing such a technique, evasion was the best option. However, the women were standing behind him, ensuring that he couldn’t dodge, he had to meet Zhou Tianhao head-on with a punch.

Their fists collided, and Liu Mubai was immediately pushed back a step, his energy and blood surging, causing him to involuntarily spit out a mouthful of blood.

The women on this side were all greatly shocked, while Zhou Tianhao did not pause at all, throwing another punch. Liu Mubai, weak all over, couldn’t resist. Just as the punch was about to land on him, a figure suddenly darted forward, grabbed Zhou Tianhao by the collar, and lifted him entirely. With a casual throw, Zhou Tianhao was thrown seven or eight meters away!
