Urban Martial Saint

The Corpse Ghost Dragon was clearly taken aback by this Buddha Venerable Golden Body move. He stepped back and stared at Shijia for a while before suddenly waving his hand, extinguishing all the flames.

”Shijia, who exactly are you?” the Corpse Ghost Dragon asked, staring intently at Shijia, and said gravely, ”How is it you can master this legendary unique skill?”

As the demon flames receded, Shijia seemed to open his eyes, and the golden light on his body gradually faded away. A faint smile appeared on his face, with an inexplicable profundity that contrasted with his previously awkward demeanor. In this moment, he resembled a truly enlightened monk, exuding wisdom and mystery.

”Since this martial art exists, why can’t I master it?” Shijia leisurely looked at the Corpse Ghost Dragon and said, ”What? Are you really scared? No problem, if you’re afraid, get lost quickly, and I’ll let you off!”

The Corpse Ghost Dragon’s face darkened. He suddenly waved his hand, extinguishing the burning flames, and with a swift motion, absorbed all the True Qi back into himself.

Seeing the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s actions, a glint flashed in Shijia’s eyes as he said, ”I didn’t expect you’ve also mastered Wu Tianchi’s unique skill, capable of condensing True Qi without dissipating it. It seems that your time in the Demon Hideout Cave hasn’t been in vain!”

”Hmph, since you know I’ve mastered Wu Tianchi’s unique skill, you should know that even your Buddha Venerable Golden Body can’t stop me!” The Corpse Ghost Dragon gritted his teeth, suddenly reached behind, and shouted, ”Sword come!”

Shen Qianyue immediately stepped forward and drew a longsword, tossing it into the air. The Corpse Ghost Dragon caught the longsword and twirled it several times, then pointed it at Shijia, coldly stating, ”Wu Tianchi left three sword marks in the Demon Hideout Cave; they are the sharpest attack techniques in the world. Shijia, let’s see if your Buddha Venerable Golden Body is stronger, or if Wu Tianchi’s attack techniques are!”

As the Corpse Ghost Dragon spoke, he suddenly leaped into the air, making a slanted slash with his longsword. A Sword Aura burst out from the longsword, directly slashing towards Shijia.

The power of this Sword Aura was terrifying. Even Ye Qing and the others, standing more than twenty meters away, could feel the fierce Sword Qi, forcing them to retreat further.

Shijia was not careless; he joined his palms together and chanted ”Namo Amitabha,” causing golden light to burst forth from his body. The Buddha Venerable Golden Body reappeared. The golden light shimmered, acting like Protective Gang Qi, directly blocking the fierce Sword Qi.

At the point of contact, everyone only heard the clanging sound of metal clashing. The Sword Qi couldn’t break through the golden light, but the golden light visibly dimmed, indicating that the Sword Qi did have an impact.

The remnants of Sword Qi that weren’t blocked by the golden light crashed onto the ground, creating a deep crack in the Green Stone floor, making it impossible to see how deep it was!

Witnessing all this, everyone around was utterly shocked. Shen Tianjun couldn’t help but mutter, ”So these are the three sword marks left by Wu Tianchi. Their power is truly terrifying!”

Ye Qing involuntarily recalled the three sword marks he had seen. Back in the Demon Hideout Cave, those marks, left by Wu Tianchi decades ago, had Sword Qi so sharp that it amazed the two of them. Ye Qing had imitated those three sword marks, but he couldn’t reproduce their power. Now, seeing the Corpse Ghost Dragon in action, he finally understood the terrifying power of Wu Tianchi’s three sword marks.

The first strike proved ineffective, yet the Corpse Ghost Dragon didn’t hesitate, launching another sword strike. Ye Qing watched closely; this strike was precisely the second of Wu Tianchi’s three sword marks. Although Ye Qing had previously imitated these sword marks, he couldn’t execute them. Now, seeing the Corpse Ghost Dragon perform them, Ye Qing felt an undeniable urge to pick up a longsword and replicate the trajectory of these sword marks.

The power of the second sword mark was even more terrifying than the first, yet it still couldn’t shatter the protective golden light. The Corpse Ghost Dragon gritted his teeth and drew the third sword mark. This time, the golden light sustained maximum damage. It was almost shattered but barely held out. Three swords, yet they couldn’t break through the protective golden light!

Seeing this, Shijia breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at the Corpse Ghost Dragon, saying, ”Corpse Ghost Dragon, my Buddha Venerable Golden Body is still at the junior level. If Wu Tianchi himself were to attack, the first strike would have been enough to break my Buddha Venerable Golden Body. But you can’t; even with three strikes, you can’t break my Golden Body. I’d like to see what else you can do to break my Buddha Venerable Golden Body!”

The Corpse Ghost Dragon frowned deeply. These three sword techniques were his most potent attack moves. Now, even the three sword marks had no effect, meaning he truly had no means against the Buddha Venerable Golden Body. In essence, defeating Shijia was impossible for him now. Although Shijia’s strength wasn’t as great as his, this Buddha Venerable Golden Body alone was enough to fend him off!

On the side, Ye Qing and the others were equally invigorated. Upon seeing those three sword marks, everyone was filled with anxiety. Now that Shijia had blocked them, everyone’s spirits were significantly uplifted. It seemed that even if the person Shijia had invited didn’t come, Shijia alone was enough to fend off the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

”Shijia, well done, you’ve actually mastered such a Unique Skill like Buddha Venerable Golden Body!” Corpse Ghost Dragon took a deep breath, then suddenly sneered, ”But, so what? Shijia, you have Buddha Venerable Golden Body, I can’t kill you. However, that doesn’t stop me from killing others. Today, everyone here, except you, is doomed to die!”

Corpse Ghost Dragon finished speaking and suddenly turned to look at Ye Qing and the others standing in the distance, sneering, ”Absorbing your power will be enough for me to recover fifty percent of my strength. Shijia, can you stop me?”

This side Ye Qing and everyone else were greatly shocked; Corpse Ghost Dragon’s words were very true. Although Shijia was not afraid of him, it didn’t mean the people nearby could withstand his attacks. If Corpse Ghost Dragon wanted to kill these people nearby, it would be too easy.

Shijia, however, showed not the slightest panic; he also laughed heartily, saying, ”Old monster, didn’t I already say it? Would I come to fight you to the death without absolute confidence? You want to kill them? I see you have no chance!”

”Really?” Corpse Ghost Dragon gave Shijia a cold stare and said in a deep voice, ”I just tried it; your power is far inferior to mine. Except for the Buddha Venerable Golden Body move, whatever Martial Arts you have, to me, they are ineffective. In this world, power is paramount. While you hide in your Turtle Shell, I can’t kill you, but you hiding in it also definitely won’t stop me!”

”I know!” Shijia nodded, casually saying, ”I alone can’t stop you, but what if I added one more person?”

”Add one more person?” Corpse Ghost Dragon was slightly taken aback, turned his head to look at Ye Qing and the others, then suddenly sneered, ”Them? Ha, even if you add them all together, the result remains the same.”

”I didn’t say I want to add them.” Shijia looked up at the distant moon, saying, ”Hold on for a moment; the person I invited should be arriving soon!”

Corpse Ghost Dragon was puzzled; he followed Shijia’s gaze but saw nothing except the bright moon.

”Who exactly did you invite here?” Corpse Ghost Dragon frowned tightly, saying in a grave voice, ”Bald monk, I don’t have time for your nonsense. Tonight, I may not be able to kill you, but those people must die!”

Corpse Ghost Dragon said this with anger and was about to rush towards Ye Qing and the others. Over there, Ye Qing and the others were worried, and had already prepared defensive postures. Especially Shen Tianjun and the masked elder; the two were standing at the front, ready to jointly unleash their Unique Skill to temporarily trap Corpse Ghost Dragon.

Shijia held out a hand to block Corpse Ghost Dragon, saying, ”Oh my, why are you so impatient? I already said I invited someone over; can’t you wait a moment?”

”Are you crazy?” Corpse Ghost Dragon angrily looked at Shijia, saying, ”You invited someone to deal with me and still want me to wait? Do you think I’m insane?”

”The way you’re speaking makes it sound like you’re not insane!” Shijia pursed his lips, saying, ”When you just arrived, if you had bypassed me and attacked them directly, then by now, they would already be all dead. But you insisted on wasting so much time on me. Now, the person I invited is here; tonight I foresee you’re going to be chased away with your tail between your legs!”

Corpse Ghost Dragon’s face chilled; he suddenly realized that he had wasted too much time on Shijia tonight. Shijia mastering the Buddha Venerable Golden Body was akin to him being a steel plate, completely unable to attack his Golden Body. Fighting Shijia was purely a waste of time and energy!

”Hmph, I can still make it in time to kill them!” Corpse Ghost Dragon roared angrily, saying, ”I want to kill them; who can stop me!”

Roaring, Corpse Ghost Dragon charged directly at Ye Qing and the others. Everyone on this side had long been prepared; Shen Tianjun and the masked elder simultaneously launched their attack, karmic retribution, endless cycle, combining into one Technique, enveloping Corpse Ghost Dragon.

”Good timing!” Corpse Ghost Dragon roared angrily and rushed directly into the Technique. The Technique instantly trapped him, but in less than three seconds, Corpse Ghost Dragon suddenly broke free.

Shen Tianjun and the masked elder were simultaneously shaken back a step; Corpse Ghost Dragon’s power was much stronger than last time when he was trapped by the Purple Lotus Karma Fire. Moreover, Corpse Ghost Dragon had suffered a setback last time and was now well-prepared; this Technique could no longer trap Corpse Ghost Dragon for long.

”All of you, die for me!” Corpse Ghost Dragon roared again, sweeping his right hand horizontally. A powerful force, like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, surged forward, enveloping Ye Qing and the others.
