Urban Martial Saint

The Wanyan Family suffered significant losses this time, and in the end, Prince Wan Yan only managed to take three Supreme Elders, retreating behind a pile of giant rocks on the other side, preventing Huangfu Ziyu from aiming and shooting.

Even so, everyone around was immensely shocked. They had witnessed the complete power of the Sun Shooting Bow. The only regret was that relying on external forces had many limitations, such as the inability to pursue people, which left many people sighing.

Just as the crowd was discussing and sighing, an astonishing scene occurred.

Huangfu Ziyu, holding the Sun Shooting Bow, began to float gently upward, as if she had no weight at all.

”What...what’s happening?” The crowd’s eyes widened. Earlier, Huangfu Ziyu used the Sun Shooting Bow to kill members of the Wanyan family, and although the power was terrifying, it wasn’t enough to shock them to this extent. Now, seeing Huangfu Ziyu floating in place, seemingly weightless, it defied all natural laws.

”Have we seen a ghost?” A man vigorously rubbed his eyes, staring at Huangfu Ziyu who remained floating in the air, even more astonished.

”Is she even human?”

”How did she start flying?”

At this moment, the four peak masters also looked over. Their faces were full of shock, especially Helian Tiehua and Prince Nalan’s uncle. The two almost stopped their duel and just stared at Huangfu Ziyu.

Huangfu Ziyu didn’t pay attention to the crowd’s stares. She gripped the Sun Shooting Bow tightly and slowly stretched it forward. As she did so, she began to float forward, her speed increasing rapidly. Soon, her speed approached that of a peak master, and before long, she had reached the other side of the giant rock pile and disappeared from everyone’s view.

”The legend is true!” said a family head from the Seven Families in a low voice.

”What legend?” someone next to him asked immediately, all shocked by Huangfu Ziyu’s current state.

”It’s said that the Sun Shooting Bow possesses a magical force that can negate gravity, allowing a person to float,” another family head said.

”Is that true?” Zhou Junliang asked with a trembling voice. ”Last time the Sun Shooting Bow appeared, wasn’t it proven that this was just a rumor? The last person to obtain the Sun Shooting Bow didn’t have the same power as Huangfu Ziyu does now!”

”What kind of power can negate gravity?”

”Is this time different from the last time the Sun Shooting Bow appeared?”

The members of the Seven Families who weren’t family heads knew even less. Hearing the few family heads’ discussions, they crowded around to ask about the specifics.

”What kind of power could it be? You’d have to ask the person who originally crafted the Sun Shooting Bow to know!” The family head who spoke earlier shrugged and said, ”Just like whenever the Sun Shooting Bow opens the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, it burrows underground until the next time Heaven Earth Man Three Gates opens. No one knows what this is about. Perhaps only if Guiguzi were resurrected could we find out the answer.”

”However, the Sun Shooting Bow’s power has indeed increased!” the Patriarch of the Bai Family said in a low voice.

”Yeah, I read the family records. The last time the Sun Shooting Bow appeared, it didn’t have the same might!” remarked another family head.

”Well...” A family head hesitated slightly and said, ”Could it be related to the Sun Shooting Bow?”

”Related to what?” The Patriarch of the Bai Family asked, ”Isn’t the Sun Shooting Bow still the same Sun Shooting Bow? Has it changed just because it’s been stored for decades?”

”No...” The family head replied, ”I remember our family’s records mentioned that the Sun Shooting Bow had a small imperfection, a missing piece. But did you notice that the Sun Shooting Bow Huangfu Ziyu held just now was completely intact, without a single flaw!”

At these words, the faces of several family heads changed. They all remembered the family’s records clearly and had seen this themselves. Hearing the family head say this now, everyone suddenly realized it was true. The Sun Shooting Bow was no longer damaged but whole!

Could this be the main reason the Sun Shooting Bow can negate gravity? And is this also the reason for the enhancement of the Sun Shooting Bow’s power?

The crowd couldn’t find any other answer, so they could only accept it this way. After all, now that the Sun Shooting Bow is complete, it’s different from how the family records described it.

On the other side, Prince Nalan’s martial uncle was also filled with shock and excitement. His face was full of joy as he said, ”The Sun Shooting Bow, it actually has such miraculous effects, hahaha, it seems my decision to come out of seclusion this time was right. Surely, there must be some great secrets hidden within this Sun Shooting Bow, maybe even tied to Secret Techniques left by Guiguzi. Hmph, if one could thoroughly research the secrets within the Sun Shooting Bow, one might find a way to extend one’s life without entering the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates!”

Helian Tiehua’s brows were knitted tightly. This martial uncle of Prince Nalan was undoubtedly a Top-Level Master from the previous era. Judging by the aura of stillness and solemnity surrounding him, he might even precede Divine Doctor An Shiping by a period. Such individuals who survive are extraordinary talents with unparalleled martial arts skills. And these figures no longer harbor any other desires, the sole ambition remaining is to prolong their life. Who would have thought Prince Nalan would invite such a character out? Winning today’s battle is truly not easy!

Nevertheless, even so, he resolutely stood in front of the elder, preventing him from targeting Huangfu Ziyu.

The elder saw through Helian Tiehua’s intentions, he smiled coldly and said, ”Junior, rest assured, today I will kill you first, then go capture that little girl. Since the Sun Shooting Bow has already appeared, I’m not in a hurry; killing you won’t take much time!”

”Over the years, many have wanted to kill Helian Tiehua, and I’ve met people stronger than me, Helian Tiehua. Yet, I have survived!” Helian Tiehua spat out a mouthful of bloodwater and said solemnly, ”Today, nothing will change!”

”Hmph, within ten moves, if I can’t kill you, then I’ll admit I’m incompetent!” the elder let out a cold shout, and his body suddenly vanished, moving with a speed that was almost impossible to defend against.

Helian Tiehua, having fought with the elder for so long, had an understanding of his moves. The elder’s strength was actually comparable to Helian Tiehua, but his speed was too fast to resist. Additionally, his Ice-Fire Palm was precisely the nemesis of Helian Tiehua’s Thirteen Protectors’ Horizontal Golden Bell Shield. Helian Tiehua’s Golden Bell Shield was broken, making it difficult to physically withstand the attacks, turning the fight somewhat challenging.

Seeing the elder suddenly disappear, Helian Tiehua quickly shouted, leaping forward several paces. Not knowing where the elder would attack, the best strategy was to first leave his original position.

Sure enough, as soon as Helian Tiehua took two steps forward, the elder appeared where he had just stood. If Helian Tiehua had been a step slower, he would have been hit.

”It seems you’ve gotten wise, knowing how to evade!” the elder coldly smiled and said, ”But what does that matter? Within ten moves, you’re still doomed!”

”Within five moves, I’ll certainly defeat you!” Helian Tiehua replied solemnly.

”Hahaha...” The elder laughed raucously, floating around Helian Tiehua with taunting words: ”Your words are the biggest joke I’ve heard in my life. To think you could defeat me with such scant skill. Even your grandfather, King Helian, was stronger than you, yet he was my defeated adversary, you are nothing more!”

”After five moves, everything will be clear!” Helian Tiehua shouted loudly, suddenly swinging a palm to the side where the elder had just rotated to.

However, halfway through his strike, the elder had already left that position. The elder’s speed was much faster than Helian Tiehua’s. As Helian Tiehua attacked, he dodged easily, leaving Helian Tiehua unable to hit him.

Missing with the strike, Helian Tiehua immediately turned and pursued, palm after palm, as if preparing to fight for his life.

”One move! Two moves! Three moves! Four moves!” The elder continuously mocked while dodging, counting aloud. Evading Helian Tiehua’s final palm, he laughed skyward and said, ”Five moves, hahaha, I’m still standing, it seems you really can’t do it!”

Helian Tiehua’s face was extremely unpleasant, and those watching the battle from afar sighed deeply. The Seven Families were particularly dejected.

In truth, everyone knew that Helian Tiehua’s strength was indeed formidable. Yet, tonight the elder he faced was simply too strong, entirely a figure from the previous era, making it impossible for Helian Tiehua to compete. To have persisted for this long was already impressive; defeat was merely a matter of time.

”What’s wrong, no more strength?” The elder coldly smiled, ”Now, it’s my turn, watch me settle this within five moves!”

After speaking, the elder suddenly accelerated towards Helian Tiehua, moving like a meteor, such that the spectators could not even discern his trajectory. Everyone gasped in shock, and the Seven Families’ faces turned pallid. Judging by the momentum and speed of the attack, Helian Tiehua would likely not even evade a single move. If Helian Tiehua were defeated, the reputation of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance would inevitably crumble, as the Great General Helian Tiehua was its very soul!

Faced with the elder’s rapid assault, Helian Tiehua did not evade and instead suddenly rushed forward. Seeing his stance, it seemed he was prepared to risk everything against the elder.

”Hmph, foolishness!” The elder sneered, dismissing Helian Tiehua’s speed entirely in his eyes. He had more than ten ways to avoid Helian Tiehua while severely injuring him, only needing to consider how to utterly disgrace Helian Tiehua.

Yet, when Helian Tiehua took the second step forward, the situation suddenly changed. Helian Tiehua had, in an instant, arrived in front of the elder, his fist barely half an inch from the elder’s chest!
