Urban Martial Saint

The man who was speaking was rushed by Luan Ping, and hadn’t reacted at all. In fact, Luan Ping’s speed was so fast that even Helian Tiehua could barely resist, let alone these people.

The man opened his mouth but was grabbed by Luan Ping, and the words were choked back. Luan Ping lifted him up, and casually slapped his Heavenly Spirit Cover, and the man immediately bled from his mouth and nose, killed by Luan Ping’s palm strike!

”Big brother!” A man beside him immediately roared, rushing over to try to pull the man back, but was also slapped to death by Luan Ping. In front of Luan Ping, these people had no power to resist at all.

”Staying here means opposing the Grand Master!” After killing two people, Luan Ping immediately shouted loudly: ”Opposing the Grand Master means death!”

Seeing this situation, the crowd who initially wanted to respond in silence suddenly started to clamor.

”Don’t kill, don’t kill, I... I’m willing to work for the Grand Master!” Someone shouted tremblingly and ran over to Luan Ping’s side, cowering.

”Very good!” Luan Ping smiled smugly and said, ”Those who understand the current situation are wise. You’ve made a very good choice. Once the Grand Master controls Medicine King Mountain, you’ll be able to enter and take whatever herbs you want!”

Hearing this, the crowd who were hesitating suddenly stirred up. Occasionally, someone rushed out and ran behind Luan Ping to work for Corpse Ghost Dragon. And it seemed to have a leading effect, as more and more people came forward. Eventually, about more than three hundred people stood behind Luan Ping, having pledged allegiance to Corpse Ghost Dragon.

The remaining people certainly did not dare stay here to die. They didn’t want to be controlled by Corpse Ghost Dragon, nor did they dare oppose Corpse Ghost Dragon, so their only choice was to leave. Thus, the remaining hundreds of people also hurried away, not daring to linger.

In less than half an hour, the scene of over a thousand people was cleared out. More than three hundred pledged allegiance to Corpse Ghost Dragon, and most chose to leave. So now, only Corpse Ghost Dragon’s people remained on this field!

Luan Ping looked at so many people standing behind him; Corpse Ghost Dragon’s manpower immediately multiplied several times. Be aware, when Corpse Ghost Dragon just arrived, he brought fewer than a hundred followers. Now, with an increase of over three hundred people, naturally, the numbers have multiplied several times. As for the strength of these people, frankly speaking, these more than three hundred only have ordinary Martial Arts, probably combined they aren’t as powerful as a dozen Top-Level Masters. However, at least in terms of momentum, it’s much better, looking far more impressive than when Corpse Ghost Dragon had less than a hundred.

And this was precisely the effect Luan Ping wanted. The reason he rushed to act earlier was precisely to establish authority among these people. With this, besides Corpse Ghost Dragon, these people feared him the most. If Corpse Ghost Dragon truly dominates the world in the future, then he would be under one person but above thousands. Luan Ping’s calculation was indeed well thought out.

”Grand Master, indeed your reputation is effective!” Returning to Corpse Ghost Dragon’s side, Luan Ping resumed his flattering behavior, nodding and bowing. Looking at the three hundred people who walked over, he said, ”As soon as I mention your name, these people immediately came over obediently. Grand Master, with these underlings, those minor matters won’t need your concern; I will certainly have these people handle them well for you!”

”Very good!” Corpse Ghost Dragon was also very satisfied; he nodded and said to Luan Ping, ”Since it’s like this, let’s leave these people to you to manage for now.”

”Yes!” Luan Ping was overjoyed; with Corpse Ghost Dragon’s words, he could justifiably control these people.

As for the more than three hundred people, looking at Corpse Ghost Dragon, they were all full of excitement and enthusiasm. Their reason for choosing to help Corpse Ghost Dragon was partly due to the pressure just now, and partly they, like those previously recruited by Corpse Ghost Dragon, wanted to flaunt under Corpse Ghost Dragon’s name. These people were mostly those without significant background or skill, usually not very capable. With Corpse Ghost Dragon as a backing, they can be much more arrogant in the future.

Corpse Ghost Dragon didn’t bother with these people; he didn’t care about Luan Ping’s schemes either. In fact, for Corpse Ghost Dragon, no matter how much capability Luan Ping had or how many people he controlled, it was empty. If Corpse Ghost Dragon wanted to kill him, it would require just a flick of his finger, so he didn’t need to consider what Luan Ping was thinking.

”Grand Master, since you’ve already broken this great formation, can we go up the mountain now?” Luan Ping asked quietly beside him.

Corpse Ghost Dragon shook his head, replied in a deep voice: ”What I just broke was only the peripheral Demon Array; the real Mountain-sealing Array, we haven’t touched yet. Moreover, this Mountain-sealing Array isn’t easy to break!”

”Oh?” Luan Ping said in shock: ”Even you, Grand Master, can’t break it? Impossible!”

”Whether or not this Mountain-sealing Array can be broken will only be known upon entry.” Corpse Ghost Dragon said in a deep voice: ”Although I came here thirty years ago, at the time, I was eager to get to Beimang Mountain, so I didn’t linger here. The Mountain-sealing Array of Medicine King Mountain, I only glanced at it briefly; it’s not easily broken. Seems like this time, it’ll take some effort!”

Luan Ping was astonished; he was very clear on Corpse Ghost Dragon’s strength. Even Corpse Ghost Dragon said so, it seems this Mountain-sealing Array is indeed not easily broken!

Under the lead of the Corpse Ghost Dragon, everyone passed through the small forest and arrived at the foot of Medicine King Mountain. It was only here that they truly reached the vicinity of Medicine King Mountain.

Initially, Luan Ping and the others were preparing to move forward, but were stopped by the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

”Ahead is the boundary of the Mountain-sealing Array. Once you step inside, you’ll be trapped in the formation!” the Corpse Ghost Dragon said in a deep voice.

Luan Ping looked in astonishment at the Medicine King Mountain ahead and said, ”Then... what should we do? I received news that Bai Li Xi and Ning Qianshu should have already gone up the mountain. If we don’t go in now, I’m afraid it will be too late.”

The Corpse Ghost Dragon remained silent for a moment. He had yet to recover his peak strength and did not dare to rashly enter this great formation.

”Luan Ping, gather thirty people and have them enter Medicine King Mountain from different directions!” the Corpse Ghost Dragon suddenly ordered in a low voice.

”Go... go into Medicine King Mountain?” Luan Ping was taken aback and said, ”Wouldn’t entering mean being trapped in this great formation?”

The Corpse Ghost Dragon glared at him and said sternly, ”When I tell you to send people in, you send them in. Stop wasting words!”

Luan Ping shivered in fear, realizing he had indeed talked too much. Clearly, the Corpse Ghost Dragon wasn’t merely sending people in; he was preparing to send a batch of cannon fodder to test the situation of the Mountain-sealing Array.

Luan Ping did not dare to delay and hurriedly gathered thirty people. These thirty people were not strong, being those that Luan Ping had recently recruited.

These people, upon hearing they had to enter Medicine King Mountain, were all too scared to move forward. They weren’t fools and knew that there was a Mountain-sealing Array at Medicine King Mountain. Carelessness could lead to getting lost inside and potentially being trapped forever. However, under Luan Ping’s intimidation, they ultimately obediently entered Medicine King Mountain. They had no choice; if they didn’t go in, Luan Ping would kill them right outside!

The Corpse Ghost Dragon stood outside Medicine King Mountain, nervously watching those who entered. His attention was wholly focused on them. He didn’t dare to venture in himself, so he had to observe their conditions to determine the situation of the Mountain-sealing Array.

These people entered Medicine King Mountain from different directions, all trembling with fear. Internally, they were terrified. However, the people on the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s side ignored their fear, focusing mainly on watching them to see how the Medicine King Mountain’s array caused them to become lost.

”Huh, what’s happening?” Suddenly, a man exclaimed softly in surprise, ”Why are these people moving so fast?”

”Yeah, why are they so fast?” another immediately followed up, as most had noticed it. Those who went into Medicine King Mountain only took a few steps but were already hundreds of meters away. This distance was incredibly terrifying. With such a short amount of time, not even Luan Ping’s qinggong could cover such ground. Yet, those who went in had already walked that far, leaving everyone shocked.

Luan Ping himself widened his eyes in shock. He saw clearly that after those people entered Medicine King Mountain, their speed and movements hadn’t changed. In fact, they intentionally slowed down due to the fear of danger, not daring to walk too fast. However, this slow pace didn’t reduce their speed. On the contrary, every step seemed to cover dozens of meters, so within a dozen steps, they had already reached hundreds of meters away, which was astonishing.

Amidst everyone’s exclamations, the thirty who entered had mostly disappeared from view, completely out of sight.

”What’s going on?” Luan Ping turned his head, asking the Corpse Ghost Dragon in astonishment.

The Corpse Ghost Dragon furrowed his brows tightly, remaining silent for a long time before sighing, ”What a marvelous Earth Shrinking Skill!”

”Earth Shrinking Skill?” Luan Ping was even more astounded. He had certainly heard of the Earth Shrinking Skill, a Taoist Secret Technique that could shrink a thousand miles into mere inches, a miraculous Ultimate Technique from the Taoist Sect. Moreover, this Ultimate Technique only existed in legends; no one had seen it used, and Luan Ping always thought it was just a legendary Unique Skill. But now, with the Corpse Ghost Dragon mentioning it, could this Secret Technique truly exist?

”A thousand miles reduced to a single step!” the Corpse Ghost Dragon said solemnly. ”It seems Divine Doctor An Shiping has not only mastered rare medical skills in the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, but also grasped the essence of the Taoist Secret Technique. The fact that he could set up the Earth Shrinking Skill as an array to guard Medicine King Mountain is truly remarkable!”
