Urban Martial Saint

As Shen Tianjun joined the battle, a group of people also rushed over, surrounding the Corpse Ghost Dragon and launching a fierce attack. The resentment accumulated over these days due to the oppression of the Corpse Ghost Dragon finally found its release at this moment. Everyone attacked without holding back.

No matter how powerful the Corpse Ghost Dragon was, with Wuhua nearby constantly chanting Buddhist mantras, he couldn’t unleash his strength. Under the violent beating from the crowd, he had no power to resist.

In the distance, the followers brought by the Corpse Ghost Dragon had originally come with great momentum, intending to slaughter the people of Shenchuan City alongside the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Unexpectedly, not a single person from Shenchuan City died; instead, the Corpse Ghost Dragon was the first to be humiliated.

Seeing the Corpse Ghost Dragon being beaten mercilessly, these followers looked at each other and subtly retreated. They weren’t fools; seeing the Corpse Ghost Dragon being beaten like this, staying here would be waiting for death!

Watching his subordinates flee, the Corpse Ghost Dragon was infuriated. However, at this moment, he didn’t even have the strength to protect himself, let alone deal with those people. He could only seethe silently in his heart, helpless. Being mercilessly beaten, he felt utterly humiliated, but he didn’t even have the strength to get up, let alone manage them.

While everyone was surrounding the Corpse Ghost Dragon with a barrage of attacks, Huangfu Ziyu suddenly came over, holding the Sun Shooting Bow, and placed a longsword on it. This longsword was the one the Corpse Ghost Dragon had used earlier; it was extremely powerful and undoubtedly a sharp Famed Instrument.

”Here I come!” Huangfu Ziyu shouted, pulling open the Sun Shooting Bow with force, aiming the longsword at the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

Like everyone else, Huangfu Ziyu couldn’t muster strength while Wuhua was chanting Buddhist mantras. However, her own strength was sufficient to pull open the Sun Shooting Bow, which wasn’t restricted by the chanting. She took this longsword to seize the opportunity to directly kill the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

Seeing Huangfu Ziyu’s stance, everyone immediately made way, giving her a clear shot at the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

”It’s useless,” Shijia mumbled, but Huangfu Ziyu was relentless. She released an arrow, and the longsword shot towards the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

The longsword, powered by the Sun Shooting Bow, whistled through the air and struck the Corpse Ghost Dragon. However, it didn’t leave a single mark on the Corpse Ghost Dragon; instead, it bounced off. His physical body was incredibly tough!

The Corpse Ghost Dragon gritted his teeth and stood up, sneering, ”I’ve already crafted the Human-shaped Gu and supplemented it with the Indestructible Demon Body. My physical body is not much inferior to that bald donkey Shijia. You... you can’t kill me...”

”If we can’t kill you, we’ll beat you into submission first!” Ye Qing stood by, took off his shoe sole, and smacked it on the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s mouth.

”Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey...” The Corpse Ghost Dragon spat, but the surrounding people didn’t give him a chance. They launched another round of beatings, particularly Ye Qing and Shen Tianjun, who, armed with shoes, stuffed the sole into his mouth, making the Corpse Ghost Dragon retch continuously. The situation was not just painful; it was disgustingly humiliating.

”You... you can’t kill me, nor can you trap me forever. Eventually, you’ll have to let me go. Wuhua Monk, unless you chant forever, you’ll never keep me trapped!” the Corpse Ghost Dragon shouted furiously, ”Once I escape, I’ll never let you off! Shijia the Bald Donkey, Wuhua Monk, I’ll find every way to kill you!”

Shijia immediately flared up, shouting from the side, ”Hit him, hit him hard, beat him to death. Right, right, stuff his mouth, stuff his mouth. Hey, I have socks here, freshly taken off. Do you want to use them?”

The crowd surrounded the Corpse Ghost Dragon, beating him for over two hours. Though he wasn’t injured, he was beaten out of human shape. His entire body was covered in footprints and mud, with two socks stuffed in his mouth, taken off by Shijia, who knows for how many years they had been worn. Whether they were smelly was unknown, but once placed on the ground, they stood up like a model on their own. The crowd folded the socks and stuffed them in the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s mouth. After retching several times, he spat them out, only for them to be stuffed back in by the crowd.

Eventually, everyone became tired. At Shijia’s suggestion, they released the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

The crowd dispersed, and Wuhua ceased his chanting. Only then did the Corpse Ghost Dragon regain his strength. Without pausing, he immediately turned and fled, running like the wind, unwilling to linger for a second. As he fled, the crowd could hear his retching and saw two socks thrown out, sparking a burst of laughter. Although they didn’t manage to kill the Corpse Ghost Dragon and eliminate future troubles, the long-standing resentment had finally been vented, and everyone felt much refreshed.

Shijia, being practical, immediately went to retrieve the socks after the Corpse Ghost Dragon discarded them, saying, ”What kind of behavior is that, throwing my socks away? What? Are my socks not worthy of his mouth?”

The crowd was speechless. Ye Qing remembered he was still holding Shijia’s shoe and hurriedly tossed it aside. After witnessing the socks standing upright, he couldn’t imagine how dirty Shijia’s shoes must be.

”Hey, you’re throwing my stuff too!” Shijia glared instantly, ”Are you looking for trouble?”

Ye Qing turned his head at once, ignoring Shijia’s words. That old bald donkey was just like Old Wang Ba, having a word with him might easily lead to being extorted.

”Master Wuhua, we owe you our gratitude this time!” Shen Tianjun looked towards Wuhua and said gratefully, ”If it weren’t for your help, we might not have survived this ordeal!”

Shijia immediately said, ”Hey, what’s the matter with you? I’m the one who helped the most, why aren’t you thanking me?”

”Of course, Master Shijia’s kindness is remembered in our hearts,” Shen Tianjun laughed, ”This time, we managed to repel the Corpse Ghost Dragon thanks to the help of you two masters. If it were just us, we might have already fallen into its poisonous hands!”

”Well, those words are pleasing to hear,” Shijia nodded proudly, ”But gratitude is one thing, you still owe me what you promised. As we discussed earlier, a shoe for one thousand, when will you pay?”

Shen Tianjun was at a loss for words due to Shijia’s manner, he could only nod and say, ”Whenever you want it, I’ll send someone to fetch it for you.”

”Alright, I’ll remember that. When I need the money, I’ll notify you.” Shijia nodded with satisfaction, then suddenly shifted his gaze behind the crowd and said, ”Oh, they’re awake too!”

Everyone immediately looked in the direction Shijia indicated and saw that not far away, the Bloody Monk and Yin Xianzi had already stood up.

”Not good!” Everyone was shocked, and Ding Lianshun said in a deep voice, ”How did they wake up? Quick, seal their acupoints to prevent them from attacking others!”

Shen Tianjun and the masked elder rushed forward, preparing to jointly restrain the two. Bloody Monk stepped back immediately upon seeing them approach, watching them warily, and said in a deep voice, ”Shen, what are you doing?”

Hearing Bloody Monk’s words, Shen Tianjun was taken aback, looking at Bloody Monk in surprise, and asked, ”You... you know who I am?”

”This...” Bloody Monk also widened his eyes, looking at Shen Tianjun in astonishment, with a puzzled expression, ”How could I not know who you are?”

As he spoke, Bloody Monk glanced at Ye Qing, then gestured at his head towards Shen Tianjun, implying he was asking Ye Qing if there was something wrong with Shen Tianjun’s head.

Seeing Bloody Monk’s demeanor, everyone confirmed that he had returned to normal and was no longer under the control of the Heart Demon.

”That’s great, Blood Robe Sect Leader, you’ve finally awakened!” Shen Tianjun was overjoyed, and everyone was equally delighted. The Bloody Monk is a very formidable master, and if he breaks free from the Heart Demon’s control, it’s a good thing for everyone.

”I’ve awakened?” Bloody Monk frowned slightly, fell silent for a moment, then his expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, ”Did I... did I...”

Bloody Monk didn’t finish his sentence, but looked at Shijia in alarm. Shijia slowly nodded, answering him. Bloody Monk’s expression changed again, and after a long silence, he quietly asked, ”This time, how many people did I kill?”

”One person...” Shen Tianjun paused for a moment and said, ”And that was one of Corpse Ghost Dragon’s subordinates!”

Upon hearing this, Bloody Monk finally let out a breath of relief, his psychological burden significantly reduced. He had been worried that he might have killed many people under the Heart Demon’s control. After all, when he was at Xiaolin Temple back then, it was for this reason that he had slaughtered at Xiaolin Temple.

Meanwhile, Yin Xianzi also slowly took a few steps forward. Her steps were somewhat unsteady, and she looked around with confused eyes, finally landing her gaze on Ding Lianshun, and asked in wonder, ”Cyclops, why am I here?”

Everyone was still in shock over Bloody Monk’s return to normal, so much so that Ding Lianshun hadn’t even noticed Yin Xianzi. Suddenly hearing Yin Xianzi speak, Ding Lianshun was initially stunned, then overjoyed, and said urgently, ”Yin Xianzi, you... you... do you know who I am?”

Yin Xianzi looked completely surprised and said, ”Cyclops, what are you saying? Of course I know who you are!”

Hearing this, Ding Lianshun was completely sure that Yin Xianzi had also regained her consciousness. Previously, Yin Xianzi had been mentally controlled by the Corpse Ghost Dragon, and even the Divine Doctor An Shiping couldn’t wake her up. Unexpectedly, this time, she and the Bloody Monk both returned to normal, making Ding Lianshun overjoyed.

”Good! Good! It’s good that you’re awake! It’s good that you’re awake!” Ding Lianshun was full of joy, he walked over to Yin Xianzi and whispered, ”I can finally fight alongside you again!”
