Urban Martial Saint

Shen Qianyue laughed heartily and shouted, ”Ye Qing, I think you’ve really been muddled by the water, haven’t you? How could my Master send me to die? Today, I’ll show you my Master’s heaven-defying techniques and see who’s left standing!”

At this point, Shen Qianyue paused and gritted his teeth, saying, ”But before you die, there’s one thing I want to tell you. After you die, Shen Qingyi and Huangfu Ziyu, I’ll definitely take good care of them for you!”

Ye Qing’s face turned icy cold; he fully understood what Shen Qianyue meant by taking good care. Shen Qianyue still harbored thoughts about Shen Qingyi and Huangfu Ziyu, which was truly detestable.

”Why waste so many words!” Ye Qing shouted coldly, his hands flying as he leaped forward, charging at Shen Qianyue with a strike.

Ye Qing knew for certain that Shen Qianyue had plans in place, so he couldn’t afford to be careless, intending to seize the opportunity to capture Shen Qianyue. However, Shen Qianyue had been prepared long before. As soon as he saw Ye Qing strike, he immediately retreated more than ten meters, refusing to engage directly.

”Ye Qing, your opponent today isn’t me!” Shen Qianyue laughed coldly, saying, ”Your opponents are them!”

Just as Shen Qianyue’s voice fell, a sudden rustling sound emerged from the nearby forest, as if someone was walking out from within.

”Who?” Ye Qing was astonished, glancing around as he suspected Shen Qianyue had found some masters to assist him.

The rustling sound in the woods was quite close, and within seconds, it came charging in. Ye Qing opened his eyes wide, clearly seeing a skeleton frame charging out of the woods, directly lunging toward him.

Ye Qing’s expression changed. He had seen such a skeleton frame before, back at Xihang Shen Family Manor. It was the unique Secret Technique of the Corpse Ghost Dragon, Necromancy, which could use sorcery to summon the dead to attack people. The combat power of such skeletons was comparable to their power in life, and crucially, they feared neither death nor pain, fighting desperately, making them incredibly difficult to deal with.

Last time, when Ye Qing encountered such Necromancy at the Shen Family Manor, he almost suffered a great loss. Luckily, Ye Qing had a Famed Instrument at the time, dismantling the two skeletons and resolving the situation then. Unexpectedly, this time he encountered the same Necromancy again, indicating that Shen Qianyue had indeed prepared in advance.

As Ye Qing pondered, two more skeletons charged out from both sides—three skeletons lunging toward him almost simultaneously.

Ye Qing gripped the scabbard of The Ancestor of Miao Dao tightly, coldly saying, ”Shen Qianyue, do you really think these few skeleton frames can kill me, Ye Qing? Don’t you know what I’m holding in my hand?”

”Just a Famed Instrument, so what?” Shen Qianyue laughed coldly, saying, ”Do you know the identities of these skeletons?”

As Shen Qianyue spoke, one skeleton had already charged up to Ye Qing. Its speed was swift, far exceeding the two skeletons Ye Qing had seen at the Shen Family Manor before. The skeleton hand formed a fist, punching straight at Ye Qing.

The skeleton’s speed was shocking, causing Ye Qing to hurriedly sidestep while slashing the skeleton’s arm with his scabbard. Meanwhile, the other two skeletons had already charged over, one of them also throwing a punch toward Ye Qing’s arm, while the other one rammed directly into Ye Qing’s body.

Faced with the encirclement by these two skeletons, Ye Qing could only quickly retreat to evade the three skeletons’ surround. However, he underestimated their strength. Just after retreating one step, the three skeletons rushed up again, surrounding him and continuing their joint attack.

Ye Qing was surrounded by these three skeletons, and his skills rendered ineffective, barely able to dodge and evade their attacks with great difficulty. The speed of the three skeletons aside, their striking power was extremely formidable. Ye Qing estimated inwardly, even if they didn’t possess Peak Master-level strength, they weren’t far off, with exceptionally strong capabilities.

Seeing Ye Qing’s disheveled and frantic appearance, Shen Qianyue laughed excitedly, saying aloud, ”Ye Qing, do you really think the Necromancy I brought this time is akin to those useless skeletons at the Shen Family Manor? Honestly, these skeleton frames I brought were Peak Masters in their lifetimes. Although they died a while ago, my Master preserved their strength with Secret Technique, so they’re almost as strong as Peak Masters. These skeletons, which my Master intended to use for future world domination, are being deployed against you this time, Ye Qing. You’re dying with honor this time!”

Ye Qing’s face turned extremely cold. He finally understood why Shen Qianyue was so confident, even wanting to kill him here. These three skeletons were equivalent to three peak masters, although they had no human consciousness at all and would only attack people. But even if three unconscious peak masters besieged him, he surely couldn’t defeat them.

Faced with such a situation, Ye Qing naturally did not dare to linger in battle. In fact, after coming out and discovering that the situation wasn’t favorable, he had already started planning his escape, so the route had long been chosen.

After a few rounds of fighting with the three skeletons, Ye Qing had retreated to the side of a large tree not far behind him. Ye Qing carefully calculated the distance, suddenly shouted loudly, and quickly retreated from the side of the three skeletons, turning behind the large tree.

The speed of the three skeletons was extremely fast. As soon as Ye Qing retreated, the three skeletons immediately chased after him. Ye Qing’s speed was no match for the three skeletons, and they quickly caught up with him.

However, Ye Qing was also prepared in advance. After retreating behind the large tree, he immediately raised the scabbard in his hand and fiercely struck the trunk of the tree. This tree was about twenty years old, and the trunk was very thick, but under the scabbard of The Ancestor of Miao Dao, it was like tofu, offering no resistance, and was chopped down with one strike by the scabbard.

The tree shook, and Ye Qing lifted his foot and kicked it heavily, causing the trunk to sway to the other side, thus falling towards the direction of the three skeletons. Meanwhile, Ye Qing took the opportunity to quickly turn around and run, unwilling to stay there for even a moment.

Ye Qing knew very well that the big tree could at most only delay the three skeletons for a moment; if he continued to wait there, he would undoubtedly die. So this time delay was used to escape.

Sure enough, the big tree fell, crushing the three skeletons underneath. However, these three skeletons didn’t feel pain and were very powerful. They didn’t suffer any damage from being hit by the tree. But the tree had many branches, and the three skeletons were indeed trapped inside for a while and would take some time to get out.

Ye Qing calculated very precisely, and he didn’t look back, running at full speed, just wanting to quickly leave the area. But he had just run less than ten meters when another skeleton jumped out from the nearby woods, delivering a Bone Fist strike towards Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was startled and employed the Heavenly Gangs and Northern Dipper stepping technique, narrowly avoiding the Bone Fist strike, barely escaping. However, at this time, the skeleton had already rushed over, entangling him once again. Ye Qing tried to run again, but it was impossible now, and the other three skeletons also emerged, rushing over at great speed.

Seeing the situation, Ye Qing almost spat blood. He never expected that there was still a skeleton hidden in the woods. Now, against the three skeletons, he already couldn’t fight back. Now adding another skeleton, four skeletons, there was no need to even try.

”Ye, do you think you can escape?” Shen Qianyue laughed coldly from afar. ”Master sent ten peak master-level skeletons to completely kill you. I anticipated you would try to escape, so I’ve arranged all these skeletons around here. This time, even if you sprouted wings, don’t think of escaping alive!”

Shen Qianyue’s words made Ye Qing’s face change again. So there were ten skeletons here, equivalent to ten peak masters surrounding him. With Ye Qing’s strength, he really couldn’t escape even with wings.

Actually, if these skeletons hadn’t lost consciousness, with Ye Qing’s strength, any peak master could have left him behind. These skeletons lost consciousness, only attacking blindly, without coordination or strategy, so Ye Qing could persist until now. Otherwise, he would’ve been killed by the skeletons long ago.

However, the current situation was extremely critical. Surrounded by four skeletons, Ye Qing found it very difficult to even defend himself, getting battered and humiliated, defeat being only a matter of time.

The battle didn’t last long. Ye Qing finally couldn’t hold on and was struck on the back by a Bone Fist, causing him to stagger. Ye Qing felt a surge of blood in his chest, almost spitting out fresh blood.

But this was only the first strike. Ye Qing hadn’t even suppressed the surging blood when he was hit by a second Bone Fist, unable to hold back the blood this time, spurting out fresh blood and staining several spots on his clothes red.

Seeing this battle situation, Shen Qianyue was overjoyed, laughing loudly, ”Ye, as I said before, you are doomed today. Hahaha, Master sent ten skeletons, and with only four, you couldn’t withstand them. If all ten were deployed, wouldn’t you have been killed earlier? Hmph hmph hmph, now all the masters are gathered in Shenchuan City, and no one can come to save you. Today, you are doomed!”
