Urban Martial Saint

Lord Sara captured Ye Qing, but ended up failing to control him and was seriously injured by Ye Qing instead. The sound of his anguished roar reached the ears of the Red-robed Archbishop, who was in a tense struggle against Helian Tiehua, and he couldn’t help but ask, ”Sara, what’s wrong?”

”This boy is not easy to deal with...” Lord Sara, relying on his incredible speed, retreated several steps before he managed to escape from Ye Qing’s sight.

In fact, Ye Qing did not pursue him, because he was very aware of his own condition. The palm strike he just used dealt a heavy blow to Lord Sara, which was already quite an accomplishment. If he tried another move, his meridians would undoubtedly be unable to withstand it and might rupture again. Therefore, engaging in a prolonged fight with Lord Sara was certainly unwise. It was better to scare him away.

The Red-robed Archbishop seized the opportunity to glance back and was shocked to see Lord Sara injured. He hadn’t expected that Ye Qing, who could barely stand a moment ago, could injure Lord Sara to such an extent.

”Cunning Huaxia countryman!” the Red-robed Archbishop cursed angrily. Suddenly, he pushed both palms forward with full force, launching an attack on Helian Tiehua.

Helian Tiehua stood firm, meeting the Red-robed Archbishop’s palms with his fist. As fists and palms clashed, the Red-robed Archbishop immediately tried to use the force to retreat and escape.

However, he underestimated Helian Tiehua. How could the Great General be easily escaped from?

”Trying to run!” Helian Tiehua roared. Without moving his feet, he slid forward a foot, transforming his punch into a grip, seizing the Red-robed Archbishop’s wrist.

”Get back here!” Helian Tiehua shouted, yanking the Red-robed Archbishop back with force.

The Red-robed Archbishop was startled. He had never been a match for Helian Tiehua in strength and had only been fighting with his incredible speed. Now, being grabbed by the wrist spelled big trouble, as escaping was now next to impossible.

”Help me!” the Red-robed Archbishop shouted in panic, trying his hardest to pull free. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not budge. Helian Tiehua’s hand was like an iron clamp around his wrist, making his wrist feel as if it were about to be crushed.

Seeing the Red-robed Archbishop in danger, Lord Sara dared not hesitate. Ignoring his own injuries, he rushed forward from behind to attack Helian Tiehua, trying to force him to release the Red-robed Archbishop.

Helian Tiehua, with one hand grabbing the Red-robed Archbishop and the other blocking Lord Sara, didn’t fall behind one bit. Lord Sara, with one arm disabled by Ye Qing, saw his combat capability drop by at least 30 percent and could only serve as a distraction in front of Helian Tiehua without affecting the situation at all. The Red-robed Archbishop, however, was repeatedly thrown to the ground by Helian Tiehua, battered and severely wounded.

”This isn’t working, find a way to free his hand, quickly!” Lord Sara shouted in English, ”Or neither of us will leave here alive!”

”But I can’t break free!” the Red-robed Archbishop replied nervously, fully aware that if the fight continued, he would lose his life here.

Lord Sara glanced at the Red-robed Archbishop and suddenly said, ”I’ll help you!”

The Red-robed Archbishop was momentarily stunned, unsure why Lord Sara’s voice suddenly strengthened. Before he could question it, Lord Sara had already dodged Helian Tiehua and pounced from the side. With his remaining hand, fingers as sharp as steel blades, he struck towards Helian Tiehua’s arm.

Helian Tiehua didn’t dodge, instead raising his other hand to grasp at Lord Sara’s wrist. Facing these blade-like nails, he remained unconcerned, as his Thirteen Protectors’ Horizontal Golden Bell Shield could handle such sharp objects.

However, Helian Tiehua made a slight misjudgment. Just as Lord Sara’s hand was about to reach down, he abruptly changed its direction, slashing towards the Red-robed Archbishop’s arm.

Both Helian Tiehua and the Red-robed Archbishop’s expressions changed. The former realized Lord Sara’s intent to sever the Red-robed Archbishop’s arm to free him from Helian Tiehua, while the latter was purely in fear and shock.

Yet, with Lord Sara’s incredible speed, it was impossible for Helian Tiehua to intercept. As Lord Sara’s fingers landed on the Red-robed Archbishop’s wrist, the latter’s hand was severed.

”Ah!” The Red-robed Archbishop screamed in agony, clutching his bleeding wrist and retreating.

Having succeeded, Lord Sara dared not delay. He swiftly turned and rushed towards the Red-robed Archbishop, grabbing him and retreating in haste. He knew very well that although they were both injured, they were no match for Helian Tiehua. Moreover, with so many Huaxia masters present, continuing the fight meant certain death for both of them. Thus, he focused only on escaping, unwilling to prolong the battle any further!

”Trying to escape!” Helian Tiehua roared loudly, chasing a few steps to try to block the two. However, these two were known for their speed and were now fleeing for their lives with all their might. Given Helian Tiehua’s speed, catching up to them was simply impossible.

Helian Tiehua chased for a couple more steps, realizing he couldn’t catch them, then shouted loudly, ”Sword, come!”

”Master, catch the sword!” A disciple of Helian Tiehua from afar directly threw a longsword over.

The longsword flew towards Helian Tiehua’s side. Helian Tiehua did not reach out to catch it but instead leaped up and kicked fiercely at the hilt of the sword.

The longsword, hit by Helian Tiehua’s kick, saw its speed suddenly increase dramatically, like a meteor speeding toward the distant Red-robed Archbishop and Lord Sara. The speed of the sword was truly astonishing, tearing through the air and making a piercing sound, especially loud in the night, clearly heard by everyone present. As the longsword passed, the surrounding grass and wood fell with it, a testament to the sword’s incredible speed.

The Red-robed Archbishop and Lord Sara were also quite fast, but compared to the meteor-like speed of the sword, they were still slower. The sword cut through the air, and within a breath, was already behind them.

The two heard the abnormal sound coming from behind and felt the immense power, making them dare not look back and hurriedly dodge to the side. But in the end, they were still a bit slow, and the Red-robed Archbishop, running behind, was directly pierced by the sword. Fortunately, he jumped slightly at the crucial moment, so the sword only went through his waist, not a fatal hit.

Compared to the Red-robed Archbishop, Lord Sara fared slightly better, given his speed was much superior. However, he couldn’t entirely dodge either. The longsword pierced through his shoulder, slicing off his injured arm.

Having pierced through both individuals, the sword did not lose much speed, continuing its flight and piercing through a distant large tree before finally stopping.

Both men, heavily wounded, cried out simultaneously, but their speed hadn’t decreased; they fled even more desperately. They knew that even a second’s hesitation could cost their lives here. Neither dared hesitate, only wanting to escape for their lives.

Most onlookers witnessed Helian Tiehua’s mighty sword firsthand, their expressions frozen as they stared at the sword pinned to the tree, all absorbed by Helian Tiehua’s world-shaking strike.

The sword’s power, terrifying indeed. The Great General, truly a force that swallows the world, unstoppable!

”A peak master! This is a peak master!” Prince Wan Yan clenched his fist, murmuring lowly, witnessing the power of the Great General’s sword, his whole body trembling. If the Great General swung this sword at him, even four or five of him couldn’t survive, could they?

Both Northern Martial Zen’s face paled. Before, they only knew the Great General was formidable, but to what extent, they were unclear. Today’s sight brought clarity. The Great General’s might—who in the world could withstand it?

Looking at the sword lodged in the tree, Ye Qing was equally astonished. Although he now possessed Northern Fist King Li Changqing’s inner strength and could use it, he knew inwardly that he couldn’t match the power of the Great General’s sword. Even completely utilizing Northern Fist King Li Changqing’s inner strength, the gap between him and a peak master remained!

Helian Tiehua paid no mind to the crowd’s expressions. He watched the diminishing figures of the two distant individuals, furrowing his brow tightly and said deeply, ”Still let those two escape!”

The surrounding crowd was even more astounded, realizing Helian Tiehua intended to capture these two. But that was no easy feat, given their incredible speed and strength comparable to the Five Uniques, catching them was truly challenging!

Helian Tiehua shook his head, opting not to pursue further, but instead turned to watch the duel between Prince Nalan and the Bloody Monk.

He had just turned when the large tree pierced by the sword suddenly crashed down with a loud bang.

Everyone was once again stunned. Undoubtedly, the tree was knocked down by the sword. To think, this tree was not small, roughly the thickness of a basketball, yet it was toppled by a sword. How terrifying was that power?

Previously, people were shocked, but now, they were completely terrified. Suddenly, they realized that the Great General’s strength was far beyond their estimation!

Witnessing this, Prince Wan Yan and others had varied expressions; they all began to panic internally. With the Great General’s power blocking their path to Ye Qing, how could they possibly confront Ye Qing now? If a fight broke out, who among them could withstand the Great General?
