Urban Martial Saint

Seeing Ye Qing fighting so desperately for her, Huangfu Ziyu’s eyes were also moist. However, by this time Ye Qing had already rushed forward, and she couldn’t stop him. So, she could only follow closely behind Ye Qing, waiting for a chance to escape.

Actually, as long as Huangfu Ziyu could get out, there was a chance to save Ye Qing. After all, Huangfu Ziyu’s Sun Shooting Bow could break through the Devouring Demon Flower, something that others could not do.

However, when Ye Qing hit the Devouring Demon Flower, he realized it wasn’t so easily knocked open. On the contrary, charging straight ahead meant rushing into the flower petals of the Devouring Demon Flower. The petals closed immediately, wrapping Ye Qing inside.

Ye Qing never expected he was delivering himself into a trap. He hurriedly tried to pry open the Devouring Demon Flower, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t shake it in the slightest, completely trapped inside.

”Ye Qing! Ye Qing!” Huangfu Ziyu saw everything from outside, urgently hitting the Devouring Demon Flower with all her strength but to no avail, unable to change anything. Moreover, the most troublesome thing was that she no longer had a Famed Instrument, so she couldn’t break open the Devouring Demon Flower to save Ye Qing.

”What’s wrong? What happened to Ye Qing?” Yin Xianzi, standing outside the encirclement, couldn’t see what was happening inside, and hearing Huangfu Ziyu’s exclamation, she couldn’t help but ask.

”Ye Qing has been swallowed by the Devouring Demon Flower!” Huangfu Ziyu urgently said, ”Quick, throw me a Famed Instrument in here!”

Without saying a word, Yin Xianzi quickly turned to look for a Famed Instrument. But after running only a few steps, she was blocked by several Devouring Demon Flowers.

”Trying to run?” Corpse Ghost Dragon said coldly, ”Can you really get away?”

Yin Xianzi quickly retreated, dodging those Devouring Demon Flowers, but she was completely cut off by them and couldn’t get to any Famed Instruments.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Ziyu was surrounded by those Devouring Demon Flowers, which were slowly closing in. Even though the Sun Shooting Bow was incredibly powerful, without a Famed Instrument to assist, she couldn’t cut through the Devouring Demon Flower, and she was gradually trapped within. In the end, she too was swallowed by a Devouring Demon Flower, trapped inside.

Corpse Ghost Dragon watched from a distance, seeing Huangfu Ziyu also trapped, overjoyed, and laughed heartily, ”Good! Good! Very good! I never expected that thirty years later, not only would I awaken, but I would also immediately obtain the Sun Shooting Bow. Hmph, it seems that this time the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Gates is fated to be mine. Hahaha, now in Huaxia, who can challenge me?”

”Huangfu Ziyu? Ye Qing?” Yin Xianzi nervously called out a few times from outside, but there was no response.

”No need to shout, I’ve already trapped the both of them; you’re next!” Corpse Ghost Dragon sneered at Yin Xianzi, saying, ”Swallowing you two Peak Masters will restore ten percent of my strength. Ten percent is enough for me to conquer the world. Hahaha, Shijia Wuji, once I recover seventy percent of my strength, I’ll come for you personally. Hahaha...”

Seeing the sinister face of Corpse Ghost Dragon, Yin Xianzi was terrified. She knew that Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu were probably in grave danger. And in her current state, she couldn’t possibly save Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu.

”Ye Qing, wait for me, I’m going to find the Heavenly Master to save you!” Yin Xianzi shouted, not daring to linger here, quickly carrying Ding Lianshun as she ran out.

”Can you really get away?” Corpse Ghost Dragon continued to sneer, manipulating the Devouring Demon Flowers to surround Yin Xianzi.

Although Yin Xianzi had taken a Ziyu Chenxiang Pill, her strength had only recovered thirty percent. Now, surrounded by so many Devouring Demon Flowers, she was really fleeing for her life. Seeing that she was about to be surrounded, despair overtook her. Could it be that this time all four of them would be trapped here, becoming supplements for Corpse Ghost Dragon to regain his strength? She was really unwilling!

But with so many Devouring Demon Flowers closing in, she truly had no escape. At this moment, her face was filled with despair.

”Hehehe...” Corpse Ghost Dragon was even more pleased, as he had just awakened, the key was regaining strength. Absorbing these four’s life force was the best option, he certainly wouldn’t let them escape.

”Get in there, obediently!” The Corpse Ghost Dragon manipulated the Devouring Demon Flower, casting it over Yin Xianzi.

Just as the Devouring Demon Flower was three meters away from Yin Xianzi, a sparse rustling sound suddenly emerged from within the cave. Upon closer listening, it sounded as if something was crawling rapidly, very strange indeed.

Although the sound was not loud, both Yin Xianzi and the Corpse Ghost Dragon heard it clearly. Both were startled; Yin Xianzi was more perplexed, wondering if there could be other living creatures within this cave.

The Corpse Ghost Dragon’s face changed. He listened carefully for a moment, then suddenly looked as if he had seen a ghost. He exclaimed ”Demon Pet” and without hesitation, turned around and ran, not daring to linger a moment longer.

”Demon Pet?” Yin Xianzi’s face also changed drastically. She had previously mentioned the Demon Pet to Ye Qing. But in truth, she herself hardly believed it was still alive. Yet, seeing the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s terrified expression forced her to believe that the Demon Pet might indeed still be alive!

As the Corpse Ghost Dragon fled, the Devouring Demon Flower lost control and gradually withdrew. Yin Xianzi hesitated for a moment, hearing the rustling sound drawing closer and closer, then gritted her teeth, carried Ding Lianshun on her back, and hurriedly ran outside.

No matter if it was the Demon Pet coming or not, staying here would be of no use. The Sun Shooting Bow had been trapped with Huangfu Ziyu in the Devouring Demon Flower, and staying here, she couldn’t break it to save anyone. Thus, all she could do now was leave as quickly as possible, then contact Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue and have him find a way to rescue them. Even if the Corpse Ghost Dragon had come into the world, Yin Xianzi still held great trust in Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue, believing he could save Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu!

The Corpse Ghost Dragon ran ahead, having spent a long time in the Demon Hideout Cave, he naturally knew the power of the Demon Pet, beyond what he could handle. So, he didn’t want to stay a moment longer. Even though there were four people behind him who could help him regain his strength quickly and even the Sun Shooting Bow, what could be more important than life? He could control the Devouring Demon Flower, but that was only without encountering the Demon Pet. If he did, he couldn’t control the Devouring Demon Flower, as the entire Demon Hideout Cave was within the Demon Pet’s grasp!

The Corpse Ghost Dragon was quick, and the way back posed no difficulty for him. He knew the Devouring Demon Flower inside out, so no matter which fork he took, he could easily avoid those flowers, making the way out casual with no need to choose a path. This long cave, he ran out of it in less than two hours, arriving at the entrance of the Demon Hideout Cave.

Just as he stepped out of the Demon Hideout Cave, he heard the sound of a battle nearby. He followed the sounds to see several people fighting on a flat area beneath the cave. Among them were several Sect Leaders of the South Ridge Sect. The ones they were fighting against were two elderly men.

The Corpse Ghost Dragon saw clearly; the two elders were powerful, undoubtedly Peak Masters. However, the Sect Leaders, using the Seven Kills Formation, managed to hold them off. Although the fight was tough, it was shocking that these non-peak masters could hold out under the attack of two Peak Masters for so long.

”Two Peak Masters!” The Corpse Ghost Dragon licked the corner of his mouth, a hint of a cold smile on his face, saying, ”I didn’t expect my luck to be this good. So many masters are here when I most need power, it seems my thirty years of self-confined meditation was indeed right. This era truly suits me!”

No one noticed the Corpse Ghost Dragon. The others were still in chaos. However, it was apparent that the South Ridge Sect people were at their wits’ end, and continuing the battle, they wouldn’t be the opponent for much longer.

”Grand Sect Master, why must you be so stubborn?” At this time, one of the Peak Masters spoke, ”I only want you to help me, not become my subordinates. If you help me, I guarantee you’ll enjoy endless benefits in the future. How about it?”

”Nalan Jingwei, don’t bother with this nonsense!” The Grand Sect Master responded sternly, ”Everyone knows your character. Wanting our help is just wanting us to be your dogs. Humph, we do not share the same values, I cannot enjoy your benefits!”

The two Peak Masters were indeed Prince Nalan and his martial uncle. In the past two days, his uncle’s internal injuries had healed. However, his deathly aura was much more pronounced, indicating that Helian Tiehua’s punch left him severely injured, close to death.

”Humph, refusing the toast and taking the penalty drink!” Prince Nalan’s uncle said coldly, ”Since you won’t listen to reason, stop wasting words with them. Nalan, break their legs first, and let’s see how stubborn they really are!”

Prince Nalan smiled slightly, telling the Grand Sect Master, ”Grand Sect Master, I advise you not to be stubborn. My uncle has a bad temper, if he gets mad and decides to kill you, I won’t be able to stop him. I appreciate talents, thinking you are valuable, which is why I’m talking to you nicely. Don’t think I can’t deal with you. How long can a mere Seven Kills Formation hold us back?”

The Grand Sect Master gritted his teeth, not responding to Prince Nalan’s words, only calling, ”Brothers, let’s fight them!”
