Urban Martial Saint

Of course, the Corpse Ghost Dragon saw Shen Tianjun, but he did not chase him; he simply smirked and walked inside. He was overly confident, believing that nothing in this manor could harm him, so he didn’t make a direct move against Shen Tianjun.

He was extremely confident in his Human-shaped Gu, even knowing there might be traps inside, he didn’t care at all.

Shen Tianjun returned to the main courtyard, where Ye Qing and the others were waiting. Seeing Shen Tianjun enter, everyone looked alarmed, their eyes fixed intently on the entrance of the courtyard.

”Hahaha...” With a burst of laughter, the Corpse Ghost Dragon walked in through the main entrance. His gaze swept around and finally settled on the few people in the hall. He sneered, ”There are so few people in this manor, what, are you afraid that the trap will hurt your subordinates?”

Everyone’s expressions changed. It seemed the Corpse Ghost Dragon also knew there were traps here. However, that wasn’t crucial; the moment Corpse Ghost Dragon walked in, he’d entered the trap.

”Corpse Ghost Dragon, you’re quite bold, knowing there are traps here, yet you still dare to come in!” Shen Tianjun said sternly, ”It seems you really think no one in this world can do anything to you!”

”That old fellow Shijia, even he was injured by me last time. Who else in this world could stand against me?” The Corpse Ghost Dragon sneered, ”Even if you have traps laid, so what? Do you think my thirty years of feigned death were wasted? Humph, I learned some Demon Gate Secret Techniques in Beimang Mountain, further enhancing my Human-shaped Gu, making me impervious to knife or spear, and invulnerable to water or fire. Even if you bury bombs here, to me, they are just fireworks!”

Everyone’s hearts sank. No wonder the Corpse Ghost Dragon walked into the manor so confidently; so he had such reliance. If his Human-shaped Gu was truly as he said, impervious to knife, spear, water, and fire, could the incendiary bombs they had planted still harm him?

Seeing everyone silent, the Corpse Ghost Dragon sneered again, ”What, are you all scared? Don’t worry, I’ll give you some time, quickly use your traps. Otherwise, when I make a move later, you won’t have any chance.”

Everyone exchanged glances. Ye Qing gritted his teeth, took a step back, and suddenly pulled on a wall hanging behind him. As it was pulled down, the floor beneath everyone in the room suddenly fell away, dropping them into a pit.

”Trying to escape!” The Corpse Ghost Dragon shouted, rushing to the edge of one of the pits, attempting to jump in. Just then, a loud noise erupted from the pit, and the surrounding earth exploded with immense force, sending the soil flying and preventing the Corpse Ghost Dragon from pursuing. The pit entrance was also sealed by the blasted earth.

A cold glint flashed in the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s eyes, and he was about to jump into the pit when another loud noise erupted beside him. Next, a table less than ten meters in front of him suddenly exploded, followed by a rapidly expanding fireball, which instantly surged towards the Corpse Ghost Dragon. He had no time to dodge, and a searing fire engulfed him. At the same time, loud blasts erupted all around him, with the powerful explosive force knocking him off balance and sending him flying. Most importantly, every explosion was accompanied by a fireball, and in less than two seconds, the Corpse Ghost Dragon was completely enshrouded in a sea of fire, surrounded by burning flames!

”Ah! Ah! Ah!” The Corpse Ghost Dragon let out piercing cries. His clothes had long been burnt away, and his body sizzled within the flames. However, strangely enough, in the scorching fire, his body showed no changes, as if it truly was impervious to fire and water.

In less than half a minute, the entire manor was ablaze, the power of the incendiary bombs igniting the entire place. The raging flames forced Shen Qianyue and the others outside to keep retreating; even the heat from the flames made it impossible to approach.

”Master! Master!” Shen Qianyue shouted frantically. He had little affection for the Corpse Ghost Dragon but knew well that if the Corpse Ghost Dragon died inside the manor, he himself would also be finished.

”Grand Master!” Luan Ping was also shocked, staring at the roaring sea of fire ahead, completely dumbfounded. After a while, he snapped back to reality, exclaiming, ”The Grand Master is fine, the Grand Master is still alive, listen, you can still hear the Grand Master’s voice!”

From within the sea of fire, the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s howls continued to pour out. The cries sounded quite painful, yet they remained strong, indicating he was not in mortal danger.

”Master! Master is really fine!” Shen Qianyue was overjoyed, shouting, ”Master, how are you? I’ll find a way to save you right now!”

”No need!” The Corpse Ghost Dragon’s sharp voice came from within the manor: ”Don’t save me, this fire can’t kill me. Hahaha, it’s been so long since I’ve felt pain. The long-lost suffering, I can feel it again. But so what? You won’t be able to burn me to death, hahaha!”

In another corner of the manor, Ye Qing and the others had already escaped through the pit and reached a hidden location outside the manor. This was their prearranged hiding spot, where they would go directly after coming out of the pit.

Listening to the sounds coming from the manor, everyone looked at each other in shock. Who could have imagined that such flames couldn’t kill the Corpse Ghost Dragon?

”What on earth is the cultivation technique he’s practicing, that even this fire can’t burn him to death? What’s going on?” Ye Qing said in a deep voice, ”I asked the King of Explosives, the temperature of this fire is extremely high. If an ordinary person were inside, the flames would burn them to death within seconds, and within ten minutes, turn them to ashes. The Corpse Ghost Dragon has been burning inside for almost two minutes, and his voice is still so loud, as if he’s completely unharmed. How is that possible?”

Everyone’s expressions were grim. Tonight’s situation made them realize that the power of the Corpse Ghost Dragon far exceeded their expectations.

”The most crucial part is, the Corpse Ghost Dragon clearly had the opportunity to walk out from the estate, yet he didn’t come out.” Ding Lianshun said solemnly, ”Did you notice, he seems to be staying inside the flames on purpose for a while!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed again. With Ding Lianshun’s reminder, they all noticed this fact. Although the Corpse Ghost Dragon kept shouting in pain, he never walked out of the estate. What is he planning to do?

”Ah, ultimately I’m still a step too late!”

While everyone was in shock, a voice suddenly emerged from behind them. Everyone’s expression changed, especially Helian Tiehua and Shen Tianjun, who were outstanding among Peak Masters, with Six Senses far beyond ordinary people. Even if a Peak Master approached them, they would notice immediately. But this person behind them, how did he get close without them noticing? How is that possible?

Not far behind everyone stood two old men. One was recognizable, Ning Qianshu. The other seemed to possess a celestial demeanor, elegance, and was clearly an extraordinary person.

Seeing these two men, everyone was taken aback. Shen Tianjun was the first to recover, exclaiming, ”You... You... You’re Divine Doctor An Shiping?”

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone’s expressions changed. Divine Doctor An Shiping? Didn’t he die thirty years ago? How could he appear again?

”It’s been many years, you’ve become more composed than back then!” Divine Doctor An Shiping chuckled softly, stepping forward to face everyone.

Hearing Divine Doctor An Shiping’s words, Shen Tianjun finally confirmed that the person before them was indeed the Divine Doctor An Shiping, who ruled an entire era. Even Shen Tianjun, at this moment, couldn’t help but have moist eyes, saying shakily, ”Doctor An, so you aren’t dead!”

”Hahaha...” Divine Doctor An Shiping laughed softly, ”If the Corpse Ghost Dragon can fake his death for thirty years, why can’t I?”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood that Divine Doctor An Shiping also faked his death for thirty years. Seeing him now, everyone was immensely excited and thrilled. It’s known that he was a Supreme figure who traversed the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, and no one knows his true power, but he overshadowed all Peak Masters of that era, so his strength is undoubtedly not weak. With such a person here, dealing with the Corpse Ghost Dragon might be more certain, wouldn’t it?

”Doctor An, you’re still here, this is truly wonderful!” Shen Tianjun was also overwhelmed with excitement, quickly making way, ”Doctor An, please have a seat.”

”No need for a seat, let’s handle the matter here first!” Divine Doctor An Shiping looked at the fiercely burning estate, slightly frowning, ”How long has the Corpse Ghost Dragon been inside?”

”Almost four minutes now!” Shen Tianjun replied.

”Four minutes!” Divine Doctor An Shiping nodded slowly, ”Luckily, we didn’t let him succeed completely!”

”What do you mean by succeeding completely?” Shen Tianjun asked curiously, everyone looked at Divine Doctor An Shiping in astonishment, his appearance made everyone’s hearts more at ease.

”There’s no time to explain, let’s solve the immediate crisis first!” Divine Doctor An Shiping took out a porcelain bottle from his body, handed it to Ning Qianshu, ”Sprinkle the medicine powder in this bottle as much as possible at the center of the estate, near the Corpse Ghost Dragon.”

”Yes!” Ning Qianshu accepted the bottle, prepared to head towards the estate, but was stopped by Huangfu Ziyu.

”Let me do it!” Huangfu Ziyu took the bottle from Ning Qianshu’s hand, grasped the Sun Shooting Bow tightly, and soared into the air, heading straight towards the estate from above.
