Urban Martial Saint

Ding Lianshun and the Wolf Monk simultaneously attacked the old man, leaving Luan Ping and another peak master only to be entangled by Shen Tianjun and the masked elder, greatly reducing their pressure.

The old man being attacked was the most troublesome, not only besieged by Ding Lianshun and the Wolf Monk’s assaults, but also watched closely by a swarm of Golden Silkworm Gu. The Golden Silkworm Gu’s power was terrifying, even more worrying than Ding Lianshun and the Wolf Monk. He mostly defended against the Golden Silkworm Gu, but in guarding one area and neglecting another, within a few rounds, he was punched in the left shoulder by Ding Lianshun, causing him to black out in pain.

”Help me! Help me!” The old man yelled while desperately dodging backwards, hoping to get help from Luan Ping and the other peak master.

Luan Ping and the other peak master were only blocked by Shen Tianjun and the masked elder, their pressure not too great. However, they knew very well what kind of result it would be to rush to help the old man. Without the appearance of the Golden Silkworm Gu, they could hold out for a while. Now that the Golden Silkworm Gu appeared, they dared not rashly go to help.

Hearing the old man’s voice, Luan Ping exchanged glances and simultaneously turned to flee. They knew the old man was completely hopeless now, and they couldn’t save him. If they continued fighting, the old man was sure to die, and staying there would only be more dangerous; they might even lose their lives. So, their first thought was to run away.

”Luan Ping, you two really lack loyalty, running away like this?” Bai Li Xi shouted loudly from the side, ”Your friend is still here! Aren’t you going to save him?”

The old man was busy dodging the Golden Silkworm Gu, not knowing what was happening with Luan Ping. Hearing Bai Li Xi’s shout, he was shocked, quickly turned to look, only to see Luan Ping already fleeing.

”You two despicable scoundrels!” The old man roared angrily, ”Do you think betraying me will save your lives? Let me tell you, after they kill me, they’ll kill both of you next, and you won’t escape!”

Luan Ping didn’t reply, because they were being pursued tightly by Shen Tianjun and the masked elder. Furthermore, Huangfu Ziyu occasionally used the Sun Shooting Bow to obstruct them. Although escaping, their route was fixed, forcing them to run toward Medicine King Mountain.

Approaching Medicine King Mountain, they grew anxious. Ahead, there was no road; must they enter Medicine King Mountain? But the Mountain-sealing Array was too formidable; entering would surely mean getting lost inside, unable to find the way out.

”Ah!” As they hesitated, a sudden agonizing cry from the old man reached their ears. Instinctively turning their heads, they saw several Golden Silkworm Gu crawling over his head; he held his head, looking pained and continuously screaming. The Wolf Monk and Ding Lianshun seized the opportunity, striking heavily at his chest, sending the old man flying while he spat a mouthful of blood mid-air, evidently suffering terribly severe internal injuries, unable to escape.

Luan Ping exchanged glances, seeing panic in each other’s eyes. They knew the old man’s fate was sealed and had to make a decision, or they’d be next to die.

Without hesitation, they turned and charged into Medicine King Mountain’s Mountain-sealing Array. Shen Tianjun and the masked elder pursued, yet had no intention to follow in; their plan was to drive the three peak masters into the Mountain-sealing Array. Killing one and forcing the other two inside was considered successful.

As Luan Ping entered the Mountain-sealing Array, they were certainly lost inside, uncertain when—or if—they’d emerge. Meanwhile, the old man lay heavily injured, clutching his head, continuously screaming.

Seeing the old man’s condition, Shen Tianjun slightly frowned, exchanging a glance with the masked elder, both showing surprise. According to their knowledge, the Golden Silkworm Gu shouldn’t act this way.

Shen Qianyue, facing off with Ye Qing, was shocked by the situation. Three peak masters; one heavily injured on the ground, two fled into Medicine King Mountain. No peak masters remained, and Corpse Ghost Dragon’s followers, seeing the situation, had already fled, leaving no one lingering. It meant only Shen Qianyue remained from Corpse Ghost Dragon’s side.

As Shen Tianjun and the masked elder approached, Shen Qianyue suddenly shouted, ”Ye Qing, dare you fight me one-on-one?”

Shen Qianyue was cunning, provoking a solo duel with Ye Qing as a strategy. He knew clearly he was doomed; facing Ye Qing, he aimed to kill Ye Qing in death, taking him down in the end.

”Hmph!” Ye Qing snorted coldly, ignoring Shen Qianyue’s challenge.

”What, scared?” Shen Qianyue again attempted to provoke, simultaneously striking at Ye Qing’s chest with his palms. He deployed a Blood Curse to quickly enhance his power, seeking to use overwhelming force to suppress Ye Qing.

Ye Qing had evaded before, and Shen Qianyue assumed he’d dodge again, preparing accordingly. Unexpectedly, Ye Qing didn’t evade and instead loudly countered, extending his palms toward Shen Qianyue’s.

Shen Qianyue furrowed his brows and shouted, ”Overestimating yourself, courting death!”

Exerting all his strength, Shen Qianyue struck with both palms, seizing the opportunity to seriously injure Ye Qing, intending to finish him off afterward.

Ye Qing seemed completely unaffected, and as their four palms collided, there was no suspense. Shen Qianyue was sent flying backward. Struggling to land, his arms drooped as both were shattered. He spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, landing beside the old man from before.

The old man was internally injured and had no strength left to resist. However, Ning Qianshu didn’t let him off, striking several blows on the old man’s body, thoroughly shaking him to death, and then let out a few cries to recall the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Lying on the side, Shen Qianyue watched everything unfold, seemingly unfazed. The only expression on his face was one of disbelief, muttering continuously, ”Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can Ye Qing’s Inner Strength be this powerful? It’s fake, all fake, all fake!”

Being sent flying by Ye Qing’s palm strike, Shen Qianyue couldn’t accept it. He had used the Blood Curse to double his strength, yet was still sent flying by Ye Qing’s palm. How could this be possible?

What he didn’t know was that Ye Qing had learned a Cultivation Technique left by a Monk, which could multiply his strength several times. After storing up energy for such a long time, the power of this strike was enough to withstand a hit from a Peak Master, let alone send him flying.

Ye Qing, successful with one strike, walked straight to Shen Qianyue, looking down on him, and said in a deep voice, ”Shen Qianyue, you are not qualified to fight me alone!”

”Impossible! Impossible!” Shen Qianyue looked up at Ye Qing, roaring, ”It’s all fake, all fake. How can your strength be so strong, Ye Qing? I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!”

”Hmph, if you can’t take a loss, just admit it. All this talk of believing or not!” Ye Qing squatted down, looking at Shen Qianyue, and said in a deep voice, ”Believe it or not, you are my defeated opponent. Shen Qianyue, you are not my match, this is destined. Before, I let you go because you were part of the Shen Family. But today, that’s not possible!”

Ye Qing reached out and grasped Shen Qianyue’s neck, saying in a deep voice, ”Shen Qianyue, the things you got from Old Madame Shen, you have to return them first!”

As he spoke, Ye Qing directly extended his right hand, pointing a finger at Shen Qianyue’s Qihai Acupoint. With this finger, Shen Qianyue’s Martial Arts were directly abolished, and he immediately collapsed to the ground, appearing to have no strength left in his entire body.

”Ye, you... you actually crippled me...” Shen Qianyue roared in fury, ”I won’t let you off! I will definitely not let you off!”

”You won’t have the chance to seek revenge on me!” Ye Qing coldly shouted, pointing another finger at Shen Qianyue’s death spot, and said coldly, ”Because you need to pay with your life for the innocent souls of the Shen Family!”

When his death spot was struck, Shen Qianyue slowly fell to the ground, gradually closing his eyes. The traitor of the Shen Family finally paid the price for all he had done.

Shen Tianjun stood by, quietly watching as Ye Qing killed Shen Qianyue, with no expression on his face. Although Shen Qianyue was part of the Shen Family, after the heavy blow the family suffered, Shen Tianjun had completely despaired of him. Even if Ye Qing hadn’t killed him, Shen Tianjun would have done it himself!

”Uncle Shen, this is just part of the revenge!” Ye Qing stood up and looked at Shen Tianjun, saying, ”One day, we will personally kill the Corpse Ghost Dragon and avenge everyone in the Shen Family!”

Shen Tianjun slowly nodded and turned to look at Medicine King Mountain, saying in a deep voice, ”Dealing with the Corpse Ghost Dragon is not an easy task.”

”As long as we are alive, there will still be opportunities!” Ye Qing turned his head and said, ”Alright, it’s getting late, let’s return to Shenchuan City first. The Mountain-sealing Array probably won’t trap the Corpse Ghost Dragon for long. We must hurry back to discuss how to deal with him together!”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Now that they’ve dispersed the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s followers, it was a heavy blow to his forces and bought them some time. At least for three to five days, the Corpse Ghost Dragon wouldn’t be able to reach Shenchuan City!
