Urban Martial Saint

Lord Sara and the Red-robed Archbishop spoke in English, and the only one present who could understand them was Ye Qing. The Bloody Monk and Helian Tiehua could not comprehend their conversation at all. However, when these two suddenly retreated, it allowed the Bloody Monk and Helian Tiehua to finally free their hands.

Seeing Prince Nalan rushing toward Ye Qing, the two were already extremely furious. At this moment, they finally had their hands free and almost simultaneously charged toward Prince Nalan.

Helian Tiehua was the fastest, executing the move ”A Stone’s Throw Away,” with a slight gathering of force, he surged forward. This move, ”A Stone’s Throw Away,” is one of the Unique Skills left by Patriarch Bodhidharma, with terrifying power. When Helian Tiehua used this move before, he defeated Yin Xianzi and wounded One-Eyed Ding Lianshun, which shows how powerful this move is.

Although the gathering of force was not enough this time, he still increased his speed and almost instantly rushed to Prince Nalan’s front, right hand forming into a claw, aiming to grab Prince Nalan.

Prince Nalan had initially planned to take advantage of Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk being blocked by those two foreigners to first deal with Ye Qing, solve the people of Sha Men, and then seize the Sun Shooting Bow. Like those foreigners, when they saw Ye Qing and his group coming out, they assumed the Sun Shooting Bow was with them, so they planned to come and snatch it first.

He never expected that at this critical moment, those two foreigners would retreat, freeing Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk to deal with him. Facing the formidable Helian Tiehua, even though Prince Nalan was powerful, he dared not directly confront, and quickly retreated a few steps, intending to first avoid Helian Tiehua’s sharpness.

”Blood Cassock!” As he just retreated two steps, a furious shout sounded from behind, and before Prince Nalan could turn around, a blood-red robe enveloped him, wrapping him inside. This blood-red robe was precisely the monk’s robe of the Bloody Monk.

Enveloped by the blood-red monk’s robe, Prince Nalan immediately stretched out his hands, trying to tear this robe apart. However, as he pulled hard, he suddenly realized the material of this robe was extraordinary, not something he could tear apart. No wonder the Bloody Monk used this robe to wrap him; clearly, this blood-red robe was no ordinary item!

The Bloody Monk, using the blood-red robe to cover Prince Nalan, quickly charged over, shouting thunderously, right fist forming, heavily punching toward Prince Nalan.

Enveloped by the blood-red monk’s robe, Prince Nalan could not see the outside situation at all. However, Prince Nalan was still Prince Nalan, renowned for decades with extremely rich combat experience. Feeling the forceful wind coming, he immediately followed the direction of the wind, wielding his palm to block just in time, perfectly intercepting the Bloody Monk’s fist. Not to mention anything else, just this ability to discern position by listening to the wind was indeed astonishing.

The Bloody Monk and Prince Nalan clashed directly, the Bloody Monk stood firm and unmoving, yet Prince Nalan flew backward, seemingly struck flying by the Bloody Monk. In fact, the several masters present were well aware that he was not knocked back but used the opportunity to retreat, escaping from the encirclement of Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk.

After retreating over a dozen meters, Prince Nalan finally took the blood-red monk’s robe off his body. His expression was slightly cold as he said in a deep voice, ”Bloody Monk, what exactly is this robe of yours?”

”Hmph, this is the Blood Cassock, a secret treasure of the Demon Sect, a famed instrument of the world. Besides the very top few, nothing else can damage it at all. It’s impervious to blade, sword, water, and fire!” The Bloody Monk coldly laughed and said, ”Do you really think I’ve only found the Murderer’s Manual and the Murderer’s Knife over these decades?”

Prince Nalan’s expression changed again, gritting his teeth, ”Blood Cassock? When did the Demon Sect have such a thing? Would the people of the Demon Sect even make a cassock?”

”My Xiaolin Temple’s third-generation Holy Monk, in his later years, fell into the Demon Path over a secret matter, and this is his monk’s robe!” The Bloody Monk coldly said, ”This Holy Monk’s name in the Demon Sect was Blood Monk, you might not be familiar with that. But his name in Xiaolin Temple, surely you have heard of it!”

”What!?” Prince Nalan asked in a deep voice.

”Kashyapa!” The Bloody Monk replied loudly.

”Kashyapa!?” Prince Nalan’s expression changed dramatically, his voice even trembling slightly, ”You... you couldn’t have inherited his legacy, could you?”

”Otherwise, on what do you think I’ve established myself!” The Bloody Monk answered as he charged fiercely toward Prince Nalan.

Prince Nalan dared not engage in a head-on collision with the Bloody Monk, he dodged while warily defending against Helian Tiehua. The abilities of these two were comparable to his, and if they both attacked together, he wouldn’t stand a chance.

Luckily, this time Helian Tiehua did not intend to intervene. He turned around, walked to Ye Qing’s side, and helped him up, starting to check his pulse. Helian Tiehua held his status highly, of course, he wouldn’t join the Bloody Monk in besieging Prince Nalan. Moreover, the Bloody Monk was also proud. If Helian Tiehua made a move, he would definitely withdraw. Just now, they wouldn’t have acted simultaneously if it wasn’t to save Ye Qing.

After dodging for a while, seeing that Helian Tiehua had no intention of helping the Bloody Monk, Prince Nalan felt slightly at ease. He leapt onto a large rock, turned to face the Bloody Monk, and said in a deep voice, ”Bloody Monk, do you really think I’ve gotten scared of you because you received some Kashyapa inheritance? You and I, one-on-one, you may not necessarily be my match!”

”Then come and fight me!” The Bloody Monk replied in a deep voice, ”Helian Tiehua, don’t interfere, this is a grudge between him and me!”

”Alright!” Helian Tiehua answered loudly, ”Nalan Jingwei, can you now fight the Blood Robe Sect Leader with confidence?”

Prince Nalan said that earlier to provoke Helian Tiehua not to intervene. Now hearing Helian Tiehua’s words, he felt at ease, tore off the blood-colored monk robe on him, and said in a deep voice, ”Bloody Monk, today I will show you why there are only five of the Five Unmatches of the World!”

As he spoke, Prince Nalan suddenly jumped down from the large rock, swung the blood-colored monk robe, and directly enveloped it over the Bloody Monk. Earlier, he was covered by the Bloody Monk with this Blood Cassock, and now he wanted to use this trick to deal with the Bloody Monk.

Facing this Blood Cassock, the Bloody Monk remained expressionless and did not dodge. As the Blood Cassock was about to cover him, he suddenly extended both hands, directly grabbed the Blood Cassock, and then with a twist, he actually put the Blood Cassock on himself.

Prince Nalan didn’t expect the Bloody Monk to have this move and was slightly surprised. At this moment, the Bloody Monk’s fists broke out from the Blood Cassock, launching a direct attack on him.

”Ha!” Prince Nalan shouted loudly, did not dodge, but suddenly pressed down on the Bloody Monk’s fists and jumped more than three meters high with the help of force. Simultaneously, from top to bottom, he struck down hard at the Bloody Monk with both palms.

”Good timing!” The Bloody Monk shouted fiercely, not avoiding Prince Nalan’s sharp strike, but instead, boldly raised both palms to meet Prince Nalan’s two palms head-on.

Both went all out, and when their four hands met, the Inner Strength fluctuated like shockwaves, shaking several large stones around and sending them flying. Yet, neither of the two seemed to feel anything at all. After exchanging two palms, they charged at each other, clashing head-on. Fists met kicks, attack and defense, strikes and kicks, like flashes of lightning, dazzling those around, except for a few Peak Masters who could not see the real situation of their battle clearly.

Helian Tiehua stood by the side, watching clearly. Both were using speed tactics in battle. The strength of Prince Nalan, being an early renowned Peak Master, was far from ordinary, be it Inner Strength or combat experience. However, the Bloody Monk was not at a disadvantage either. It was almost the first time Helian Tiehua saw the Bloody Monk exert himself fully in a fierce battle with someone. One had to admit that the Bloody Monk’s skills were indeed formidable. After contending with Prince Nalan for a long time, it still ended in a draw, indicating that the strength of both was truly on par.

Seeing such a situation, a hint of surprise flashed across Helian Tiehua’s face. Previously, it was said that the Bloody Monk’s strength was on par with the Five Uniques. But on par meant what exactly? Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun’s strengths were also said to be on par with the Five Uniques, but Helian Tiehua could easily defeat both of them using ”A Stone’s Throw Away.” Even without that skill, one-on-one, he could easily handle any of them.

Thus, Helian Tiehua always thought that the Bloody Monk’s strength was only on par with people like Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun. However, this time, the Bloody Monk’s actions completely changed his view. The Bloody Monk’s strength far exceeded that of Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi. Helian Tiehua even felt that even if he were to use ”A Stone’s Throw Away,” the Bloody Monk might still escape unscathed!

Is this the Demon Sect inheritance that the Bloody Monk received? The Demon Sect’s inheritance is just too formidable, isn’t it?

Filled with astonishment, Helian Tiehua continued to check Ye Qing’s pulse. As his fingers pressed on Ye Qing’s pulse for a while, Helian Tiehua’s expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, ”What’s going on?”

”What’s the matter?” Ye Qing was also surprised, not knowing why Helian Tiehua suddenly seemed so shocked.

”Your meridians...” Helian Tiehua looked at Ye Qing and said, ”How were they connected?”

”I don’t know either.” Ye Qing was puzzled himself. He looked at Helian Tiehua and said, ”Wasn’t it you guys who reconnected them?”

”We don’t have that ability!” Helian Tiehua looked at the Bloody Monk over there, somewhat suspecting whether it was the Bloody Monk’s doing. But then he shook his head because when Ye Qing was brought to the manor, his meridians were completely shattered. If the Bloody Monk had the ability to reconnect them, why would he need to bring him to the manor and let the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance protect him?
