Urban Martial Saint

Bai Li Xi shook his head and said, ”I’m certainly not talking about them. I mean, if someone like An Hongyuan can enter the mountain, maybe others have also come in. With eight Divine Doctor’s Orders in place, Master’s legacy is bound to appear. If the fated person isn’t us, it must be someone else. At this point, Master’s legacy might have already found its destined person!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing nodded as well. Bai Li Xi’s explanation seemed possible. After all, even by coincidence, An Hongyuan managed to enter Medicine King Mountain; perhaps others might have come in as well.

Ning Qianshu remained silent for a while, then suddenly got up and rushed down the mountain.

”Where are you going?” Bai Li Xi couldn’t help but ask urgently, but Ning Qianshu didn’t answer him, charging ahead without a pause.

Ye Qing looked at Ning Qianshu, suddenly frowned, and said, ”Not good, he wants to find the fated person and seize Divine Doctor An Shiping’s legacy!”

Having heard the fated person might be someone else, Ning Qianshu couldn’t hold back and intended to search the mountain quickly. Anyway, the fated person was on this mountain; if he found them, he could kill them and seize Divine Doctor An Shiping’s legacy.

”Stop him!” Bai Li Xi immediately grew anxious, knowing well what would happen if Ning Qianshu got the legacy.

The masked elder and Ye Qing immediately rushed out to chase Ning Qianshu. Seeing this, Ding Lianshun quickly moved to intercept Ye Qing and the masked elder. Having taken only two steps, Shen Tianjun, who had been meditating before, suddenly jumped up and casually struck him with two palms. The palm force was powerful, indicating Shen Tianjun had regained his full strength.

Faced with a master like Shen Tianjun, Ding Lianshun didn’t dare to be careless, quickly sidestepping to avoid him, not daring to confront Shen Tianjun directly. However, because of this, he couldn’t intercept the masked elder and Ye Qing, and instead was stopped by Shen Tianjun.

On Medicine King Mountain, the group who entered together finally found themselves engaged in an inevitable melee. Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, the Corpse Ghost Dragon remained trapped inside Medicine King Mountain’s Mountain-sealing Array. Despite being there for so long, it hadn’t found a way out, and outside, Luan Ping and others were waiting anxiously, not knowing what was happening inside Medicine King Mountain or where Divine Doctor An Shiping’s legacy was.

During this chaos outside, in the belly of Medicine King Mountain, a python was swimming along the dark cave corridor. This python was the same one that had swallowed Lin Tianyou and An Hongyuan earlier, showing a striking humanoid outline on its body, which looked rather horrifying.

No one knew how far this cave extended, but the python had been moving for some time, seemingly nearing its destination. Furthermore, as the cave reached deeper, it became more spacious, unlike the initial narrow entrance that was impassable. In the deeper parts, a full-grown adult could comfortably crawl through, and as the distance stretched, the cave continued expanding.

After swimming another thousand meters, the cave had expanded to half a person’s height. At this point, not only could one crawl inside, but even crouching quickly was no problem. As it continued extending forward, how much larger could this cave grow?

However, at this moment, no one could see the cave’s interior. Even Bai Li Xi and Ning Qianshu, though from Medicine King Mountain, had no idea there was such a cave in its belly.

The python kept moving, showing no sign of stopping. Based on its current speed, it had now reached Medicine King Mountain’s central area, and the cave had gradually widened to accommodate a person fully, making traversing it effortless. But how did this cave come to be? Could such a wide cave indeed be the python’s lair?

Suddenly, the python slowed its pace slightly, as if sensing something. At the same time, the cave ahead began to rapidly widen, initially just allowing people to walk upright, then expanding to room size. It almost felt as if the outer part of the cave was just a corridor, with the end inside resembling a stone chamber.

Arriving at this stone chamber, the cave had finally reached its end. This stone chamber covered an area of over fifty square meters; having such a large stone chamber inside the mountain belly seemed truly astounding.

The python stopped inside the stone chamber, constantly extending and retracting its tongue, as though sensing the chamber’s situation. Inside the chamber, there was nothing but a stone platform.

The python did not approach the stone platform, instead raising its head as if waiting for something. Eventually, a slight sound came from above, and the stone ceiling revealed a one-meter wide hole through which several objects fell to the chamber floor.

The python sensed these objects falling and quickly went over, using its tail to wrap them all up. If anyone were present, they would surely be shocked, for the items that fell from above were the eight Divine Doctor’s Orders. The python’s massive body was agile enough to wrap up the Orders; this was surprisingly nimble!

The Python seemed to be somewhat excited as it rolled up the Divine Doctor’s Order and immediately moved to the perimeter of the Stone Platform inside the Stone Chamber. The Stone Platform also had eight positions, and the Python placed the Divine Doctor’s Order on each of these positions one by one, then retreated a bit, staring at the Stone Platform with a hint of tension in its eyes.

After the Divine Doctor’s Order was placed in the eight positions on the Stone Platform, it seemed to activate some mechanism, causing the Stone Platform to start shaking slowly. This situation made the Python even more excited, its eyes shining brightly, illuminating the Stone Chamber brightly.

With a slight sound, the stone tablet on top of the Stone Platform began to slowly open, like the lid of a box being slowly opened, or like a coffin lid being pushed aside. In any case, the whole process looked extremely eerie, and if anyone had been watching, they probably would have been scared witless.

Fortunately, there was no one in the Stone Chamber, only the Python intensely watching the slowly opening Stone Platform, its eyes flickering with light, obviously very excited.

Finally, the Stone Platform opened completely, just like an open coffin, revealing a person lying inside.

It was an elderly man in his fifties or sixties, with a calm and serene demeanor, carrying a touch of gentle elegance. Despite lying there with his eyes closed, he exuded a very comforting aura, seemingly dispelling all anxiety from people’s hearts.

Upon seeing this elderly man, the Python immediately became restless, seemingly very excited. It swam back and forth for a while, nervously watching the Stone Platform, clearly wanting to get closer but not daring to, as if afraid of disturbing the old man.

After about ten minutes, the old man’s chest gently rose and fell, as if he was beginning to breathe. This made the Python even more excited; it hurriedly rushed to the side of the Stone Platform, continually nudging the old man with its head. Of course, its actions were gentle, merely wanting to catch the old man’s attention without causing him any harm.

”Phew.” With a soft sigh, the old man slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the Python, and a smile appeared on his face.

”Xiao Lu, you finally waited for me!” The old man reached out and gently stroked the Python’s head, and this Python that could terrify everyone was unbelievably tame before the old man. Like a pet raised since childhood, it snuggled up to the old man sweetly, acting completely coquettish.

”Alright, alright.” The old man slowly sat up and said, ”I don’t have much time left, better get down to business.”

Upon hearing this, the Python seemed somewhat sad, reluctantly withdrew from the old man’s side, and stood five meters in front of the Stone Platform. It suddenly opened its mouth and directly spat out two people. One was An Hongyuan, and the other was Lin Tianyou.

Both people now had their entire skeletons shattered, after all, being swallowed into the Python’s stomach and enduring such pressure, it was normal for their entire skeletons to break. In fact, they had already perished when swallowed into the belly, and their bodies only sustained further damage inside.

The old man stood up from the Stone Platform, slowly walked to the two of them, and stared at Lin Tianyou for a while before suddenly extending his hand and tapping An Hongyuan’s body a few times.

These few taps from the old man seemed to possess magic power, as An Hongyuan’s body emitted a series of cracking sounds, and the broken bones miraculously reconnected; this was simply too extraordinary.

If Ye Qing were to see this, he would undoubtedly be shocked, because this move was also documented in the Acupoint Seeking Technique, which Ye Qing had seen before. It was the Five-Body Bone Shrinking Skill. This Bone Shrinking Skill utilizes the power of the body’s meridians and muscles to compress all the bones and then expand them, thereby reconnecting the broken bones together. This treatment method is incredibly miraculous for broken bones. However, this method is not easy to master, and Ye Qing hadn’t even learned the basics yet.

And this old man executed it with such ease, reaching an almost incredible level. Who exactly was he? How did he possess such extraordinary medical skills? How could he use the secret techniques recorded in the Acupoint Seeking Technique? What was his relationship with Divine Doctor An Shiping?

After reconnecting An Hongyuan’s meridians, the old man took a pill from his body and placed it into An Hongyuan’s mouth. Not long after the pill was ingested, the long-deceased An Hongyuan suddenly let out a light gasp, slowly began to breathe, and gradually opened his eyes.

The dead, revived again!?
