Urban Martial Saint

This Qi Force appeared so suddenly that no one was prepared for it. No one could clearly see what this Qi Force was, and those four people had already slowly fallen to the ground.

The Supreme Elder at the forefront had his chest pierced through, and at this moment, a bowl-sized bloody hole appeared at his chest, even pulling out his heart, shattered like a crystal. His eyes were wide open, but they had already lost all spirit, He had died here.

The other three people who were pierced, including that Supreme Elder and the member of the Seven Families, were relatively lucky. Although they were also pierced by the Qi Force, the injuries were not at a lethal position, so both of them still barely survived, although severely wounded. The unluckiest was the fourth person from the Northern Martial Zen; he was the last one to bear the Qi Force, and its power was far less than before. However, he was struck in the heart, and although the Qi Force didn’t pierce through his body, it collapsed his chest, shattered his heart, and he spat blood and died.

Watching all of this unfold, everyone was stunned, including the four Peak Masters who were in the midst of battling. They couldn’t help but look toward the direction from which the Qi Force had come.

The power of this Qi Force was even more terrifying than the Longsword dispatched by Great General Helian Tiehua before.

With one strike, four people were hit, resulting in two deaths and two injuries. Who in the world can boast such power?

The Qi Force came out from the cave entrance, which means that someone in the cave unleashed this Qi Force. But, inside the cave, which master could hold such defying strength?

Everyone held their breath as a faint sound of footsteps came from the cave entrance, clearly indicating someone was slowly walking out. All eyes were glued, including those of the four Peak Masters, wanting to see which extraordinary master it was!

Finally, as the footsteps gradually approached, a tall woman emerged slowly from the cave entrance. She was holding a long bow gleaming with light, illuminating her whole presence so brightly. Paired with her stunning beauty, she seemed like a fairy descending to the world, causing everyone to gasp!

An unmatched beauty, so captivating, it’s as though words like ’enchanting’ and ’breathtaking’ were coined just for her!

”Huangfu Ziyu!” Someone shouted first, and soon, everyone’s expressions changed, displaying various forms of emotion.

This woman was indeed Huangfu Ziyu, and the long bow in her hand was the Sun Shooting Bow. The Qi Force earlier was shot by her, saving Cui Yulong’s life at the crucial moment!

”It’s really Huangfu Ziyu!” Everyone from the Seven Families was equally astounded.

”Wasn’t she trapped inside the Inner Tomb?”

”How did she get out?”

”Isn’t it said that anyone who enters the Inner Tomb, even a Peak Master, is doomed to die inside?”

”Isn’t that the Sun Shooting Bow in her hand?”

The members of the Seven Families discussed intensely, their thoughts in disarray, unable to accept any of this. After Huangfu Ziyu entered the Inner Tomb, everyone concluded she was dead. In fact, even Ye Qing had little hope, as the traps inside the Inner Tomb were truly terrifying.

Moreover, even if Huangfu Ziyu hadn’t died inside the Inner Tomb, the fact that she was now alive and walking out was completely beyond anyone’s expectations. The door of the Inner Tomb, made of pure steel, was a whole two feet thick, impossible to blast open even with explosives, only operable from outside with a key. The surroundings of the Inner Tomb were all massive piled-up rocks, the thinnest place being several meters of stone tablet deep. Trapped inside, getting out without opening the door from the outside was virtually impossible.

But how did Huangfu Ziyu get out? With the traps activated, why didn’t she die? And why did she come out holding the Sun Shooting Bow?

Everyone shared the same confusion, although a few felt delighted, such as the members of Sha Men and Helian Tiehua. Seeing Huangfu Ziyu alive and out, wielding the Sun Shooting Bow with an aura of being Invincible Under the Heavens, their spirits soared.

Of course, more people felt envy, even resentment. Especially those from the Seven Families, who all wanted to seize the Sun Shooting Bow and didn’t hesitate to besiege the people of the Huangfu Household. Now that Huangfu Ziyu walked out brandishing the Sun Shooting Bow, just imagine their feelings.

”Huangfu Ziyu, what is the meaning of this!” The Patriarch of the Zhou Family was the first to speak, solemnly saying, ”You are a member of the Seven Families, and upon coming out, you strike the people of the Seven Families. Are you intending to betray the Seven Families?”

Huangfu Ziyu ignored him, her gaze swept across everyone present, searching for Ye Qing and the siblings Huangfu Zilong, but she could not find them, which left her very disappointed.

”Niece Huangfu, it’s good you’re alright!” Great General Helian Tiehua called out loudly from afar: ”Now that you have the Sun Shooting Bow, you have the right to command the Seven Families and control the power of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance. For now, repel these foreign enemies, and we’ll discuss other matters when we’re back!”

”Helian Tiehua, what do you mean by this?” The Patriarch of the Zhou Family said indignantly: ”Huangfu Ziyu, being a member of the Seven Families, not only doesn’t help her own people but also killed a member of the Seven Families the first time she acted. This clearly shows her intention to betray the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance. You’re actually allowing her to command the Seven Families? What right does a mere woman have to command the Seven Families? Moreover, the Huangfu Household has already defected from the Seven Families, its people simply have no right to possess the Sun Shooting Bow, don’t you all agree?”

”Yes, that’s right!”

”Make her hand over the Sun Shooting Bow!”

”It belongs to the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance and only someone from there can take it. The Huangfu Household defected long ago; she has no right to hold the Sun Shooting Bow!”

The crowd of the Seven Families clamored repeatedly, all wanting to coerce Huangfu Ziyu to hand over the Sun Shooting Bow. They were jealous and always felt they could trample the Huangfu Household underfoot, which is why they pressed Huangfu Ziyu in this manner.

”What you’re saying is pure nonsense!” Helian Tiehua finally became angry and roared: ”Whoever gets the Sun Shooting Bow can command the Seven Families, this is the rule set by our Hong Alliance’s ancestors. Zhou Junliang, are you trying to betray the ancestral rules?”

Facing Helian Tiehua’s imposing manner, the Patriarch of the Zhou Family, Zhou Junliang, was somewhat flustered. However, several people from the Zhou Family had been killed, and he was extremely angry, gritting his teeth as he roared: ”The ancestors’ rules were made for the people of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance, not for outsiders. Now that the Huangfu Household has defected, does she still have the right to command the Seven Families? Helian Tiehua, according to what you say, if someone from the Twelve Green Halls got hold of the Sun Shooting Bow, could they also command the Seven Families?”

”Who says the Huangfu Household defected from the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance? The Huangfu Household is always a member of our Seven Steering Committees!” Helian Tiehua replied in a deep voice.

”Hmph, Helian Tiehua, you’re just wishful thinking, others wouldn’t necessarily see it that way!” Zhou Junliang gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: ”The defection of the Huangfu Household from the Seven Steering Committees is a well-known matter. No matter if they are members of the Seven Families now or not, we can’t let someone with hidden motives command the Seven Families. Therefore, Huangfu Ziyu, you must hand over the Sun Shooting Bow. Otherwise, don’t think you can walk out of here today!”

Huangfu Ziyu didn’t see Ye Qing and the siblings Huangfu Zilong, so her mood was already bad. Hearing Zhou Junliang’s words now, she immediately frowned.

”Want the Sun Shooting Bow?” Huangfu Ziyu raised the Sun Shooting Bow in her hand and offered it towards Zhou Junliang, saying: ”Come and take it yourself!”

Looking at the still-glowing Sun Shooting Bow, and then at Huangfu Ziyu, Zhou Junliang couldn’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. He wanted to take it, but Huangfu Ziyu’s aura made him dare not step forward.

”What? Don’t dare to take it?” Huangfu Ziyu stepped forward, saying: ”Or should I bring it to you?”

Zhou Junliang gritted his teeth and said angrily: ”Huangfu Ziyu, don’t think that just because you’ve got the Sun Shooting Bow, you’re actually invincible under the heavens. If you have the skill, kill all my Seven Families’ people. Humph, your Huangfu Household has already betrayed the Seven Families, what else can’t you do?”

”You’re right in saying that!” Huangfu Ziyu suddenly retracted the Sun Shooting Bow, forcefully drew it, and aimed it at Zhou Junliang, saying: ”At this point, what could I possibly not do!”

Being aimed at by the Sun Shooting Bow, Zhou Junliang staggered in fright and quickly dodged to the side. But no matter how he dodged, the Sun Shooting Bow in Huangfu Ziyu’s hand was always aimed at him, leaving him no escape.

”Huangfu Ziyu, what are you trying to do?” The Patriarch of the Bai Family, standing beside him, feigned seriousness and said: ”Bro Zhou and your father were old acquaintances; they once called each other brothers in the past. As a junior meeting an elder, it’s one thing to not show respect, but what are you doing now? Are you planning to commit the great crime of killing an elder? Humph, with what you’re doing now, if your father were alive, do you think he would agree?”

”Niece Huangfu, don’t act rashly!” Helian Tiehua also shouted from afar.

”I’m sorry, my father is no longer around. Whether you were his old acquaintances, I do not know. I only know who helped or humiliated my Huangfu Household when it was down!” Huangfu Ziyu spoke coldly: ”Now, I, Huangfu Ziyu, am the head of the Huangfu Household, so whatever I do, I don’t need anyone’s approval. Zhou Junliang, if I want to kill you, who dares to stop me!”

”Huangfu Ziyu, you...” Another family head wanted to speak, but Huangfu Ziyu suddenly turned the Sun Shooting Bow towards him. The rest of his words were swallowed back, and he didn’t dare to say anything more. Huangfu Ziyu was now full of killing intent, and no one doubted that if someone provoked her at this moment, she would definitely shoot an arrow at them!

Everyone had clearly seen the power of the Sun Shooting Bow’s arrow just now, and everyone understood that once Huangfu Ziyu let go, the consequences would be devastating. Not to mention that this family head wouldn’t withstand the blow, even a peak master might have to avoid its sharpness!
