Urban Martial Saint

Hearing Du Canglang’s words, the man was immediately taken aback. He had mentioned Huang Yunfeng’s name to intimidate Du Canglang and make him give up. Who would have thought that Du Canglang would be so domineering, speaking as if Huang Yunfeng was nothing to him? This was simply too forceful!

The man gritted his teeth, ”My family’s Huang Yunfeng is a hidden Peak Master, unmatched in the world. You speak such big words, aren’t you afraid of biting your own tongue?”

”Humph!” Du Canglang snorted coldly, uninterested in arguing over this, he asked in a deep voice, ”I’m asking you, is Ye Qing confined in the dungeon?”

The man turned his head to the side, completely ignoring Du Canglang’s question. From his demeanor, it was clear he intended to remain silent.

”Fine, let’s see how long you can stay silent!” Du Canglang grabbed the man’s right hand, and with a swift twist, broke the bone instantly.

The man wanted to scream in pain, but Du Canglang was prepared for this. As soon as the man opened his mouth, Du Canglang pressed down on his neck, and though the man gasped for air, not a sound came out, let alone screams.

Du Canglang showed no sign of stopping, grabbing the man’s right arm, he forcefully twisted the forearm above the wrist, snapping the bone directly. Du Canglang’s strength was overwhelming, his hands were like iron clamps; one hand pressing the man’s neck, the other crushing bones inch by inch. In mere moments, he had shattered the man’s entire right arm into over ten pieces. The agony made the man almost faint several times, but Du Canglang slapped him awake, making unconsciousness impossible, completely under Du Canglang’s control. With his neck pressed, screaming or begging was out of the question!

After thoroughly crushing the man’s right arm, Du Canglang released him, coldly eyeing the man, and said in a deep voice, ”Now, can you answer?”

The man’s body shook with pain, making rasping breaths. The agony in his right arm made him wish he could chop it off. But that was impossible. Facing Du Canglang, he knew that if he didn’t answer, Du Canglang would break his left arm, then his legs, perhaps even every bone in his body, and such pain was unbearable.

”That... that dungeon doesn’t confine... Ye Qing...” the man replied, trembling.

”You’re lying!” Du Canglang’s face chilled, about to strike, the man trembled in fright and hurriedly said, ”I... I’m telling the truth, Ye Qing isn’t confined there, he... he was just captured by us...”

Upon hearing this, Du Canglang’s expression relaxed slightly. He glanced at the man and asked in a deep voice, ”He was just captured by you? How did you capture him?”

While unsure of what exactly had happened, after seeing Huang Yunfeng personally head to the dungeon, Du Canglang sensed something amiss, hence he sought someone to inquire. And the man, frightened by Du Canglang, dared not conceal anything, revealing everything about the dungeon’s situation and their methods against Ye Qing.

Thanks to Du Canglang’s cunning, he had captured a high-level insider of the Huang Family, thus learning of the plan thoroughly.

After hearing the man’s account, Du Canglang furrowed his brow. Ye Qing and others were trapped in the dungeon, tightly sealed, presenting quite a predicament. Even if he wanted to take Ye Qing away, it wouldn’t be easy.

”You said earlier, the dungeon cell is completely sealed, even the entrance is barred with Black Profound Iron.” Du Canglang looked at the man, asking in a deep voice, ”Then, what method should be used to bring them out?”

The man said, ”This... this cell cannot be opened unless a Famed Instrument like Xuanyuan Sword or Minghong Blade is found to shatter Black Profound Iron, otherwise, this... this dungeon won’t open.”

”Humph, must Black Profound Iron be shattered?” Du Canglang asked in a deep voice, ”Since the bars fell, there must be a mechanism. I’m asking where that is!”

”Oh.” The man finally reacted, hesitated a bit, but seeing Du Canglang’s menacing look, had no choice but to reveal the mechanism’s location.

After listening to the man’s words, Du Canglang didn’t leave immediately. He reached out to press several acupoints on the man’s body, hid him in the nearby wardrobe, and then said in a deep voice: ”I will go now and look for this mechanism as you said. If you dare to deceive me, I’ll come right back and kill you!”

The man was startled by Du Canglang’s fierce expression, shook his head quickly and said: ”I... I didn’t deceive you, what I said is true...”

”True or false, I’ll know after I test it!” Du Canglang sneered coldly, casually pressed the man’s dumb acupoint, and then turned and left the attic.

There were not as many people outside as there were earlier. Naturally, no one noticed that the man had disappeared. Ever since, in the manor now, the capture of Ye Qing was the most critical matter.

Du Canglang walked out of the crowd and quietly slipped towards the dungeon. There were a dozen guards standing at the entrance of the dungeon, and the area was brightly lit, the guards here were extremely strict.

However, this wouldn’t stump Du Canglang. While questioning that man earlier, he had already inquired about the layout of the dungeon. He quietly slipped to the back of the building housing the dungeon where there were not many guards, only two.

Du Canglang casually picked up two pebbles from the ground, pressed their acupoints, and the two immediately froze where they stood. Du Canglang walked past them, entered the building through the back door. The dungeon was in the basement; he circled to the front door and just saw several people guarding the entrance to the basement. However, comparing it to outside, there were far fewer guards here.

Du Canglang still had a few pebbles in his hand. He quietly approached and used the pebbles to press the acupoints of all these people. Afterward, he slyly slipped to the doorway but didn’t rush in; instead, he pressed a finger against the edge of the door panel, gently applied force, and managed to poke a hole in the wooden door panel.

The dungeon was originally tightly sealed; with this hole, Du Canglang was able to hear the sounds inside. He was timely in his arrival, Huang Yunfeng and the others were also there just recently; as he poked out this hole, he immediately heard a cold voice coming from inside: ”Ye, don’t mention the Corpse Ghost Dragon to me. When we killed the Corpse Ghost Dragon, indeed, we were united. But the Corpse Ghost Dragon is dead, those matters are past. You’ve killed so many of my brothers and ruined my plans for so many years, how can I tolerate you?”

The speaker was Wang Tian’an, now standing with the Huang Family, and Xu Cunxiao also stood beside him. Everything was as Ye Qing had known before; it was Wang Tian’an and Xu Cunxiao who had allied with the Huang Family. The plan against him was arranged by Xu Cunxiao alone. Xu Cunxiao was extremely sinister, full of schemes, and had joined with the Huang Family to perform such a play, successfully trapping Ye Qing.

Initially, Huang Yunfeng did not care about Wang Tian’an and Xu Cunxiao much, because he was a peak master, and even though Ye Qing was powerful, he was not considered a peak master; Huang Yunfeng could easily defeat Ye Qing. The reason for setting up such a trap was to guard against Ye Qing bringing other peak masters. After all, over in Shenchuan City, many peak masters were very close to Ye Qing. If these people came together, he would not be able to stand against them. Therefore, he set up such a trap, to catch any peak master who might come to help Ye Qing.

Huang Yunfeng never expected that the peak masters from Shenchuan City didn’t accompany Ye Qing, instead, Fu Qingping had come along. Looking at Fu Qingping trapped in the cell, Huang Yunfeng couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily he had adopted the methods of these two people, set up such a mechanism waiting for Ye Qing. Otherwise, if he hadn’t trapped them, even Fu Qingping alone would be enough to turn the Huang Family upside down.

Yet with Fu Qingping now trapped, Huang Yunfeng was also very excited. He had long-standing grievances with Fu Qingping, and had long wanted revenge, but was not a match for Fu Qingping, so had had to bury it in his heart. Unexpectedly, after years of hiding from the world, upon emerging again, he caught Fu Qingping first; it was truly a cause for double celebration.

”Green Reed Swordsman.” Huang Yunfeng looked at Fu Qingping, a cold smile constantly at his lips, and said: ”Haven’t seen you for so long, Hero Fu is as majestic as ever!”

Fu Qingping stood proudly in the cell, looking calmly at Huang Yunfeng, said: ”Haven’t seen you in so many years, you’re still the same as before. A scoundrel is still a scoundrel, only capable of sneaky and indecent acts!”

Faced with Fu Qingping’s mockery, Huang Yunfeng wasn’t angry, but burst into laughter: ”Fu Qingping, you’ve lived for over one hundred years, and you’re still so naive? Living is what’s most important. Whether the means are honorable or not isn’t important. You’re trapped in this cell now, I can kill you with the flick of a finger. Is it meaningful for you to talk about scoundrels or sneaky acts to me? I live, you die, that’s reality, understand? I’m really curious, have you lived the one hundred or more years like a dog?”

Du Canglang hiding outside heard these words, his brows furrowed immediately. He never expected Fu Qingping to be here too, indeed making this matter more complex. Huang Yunfeng’s strength he wasn’t very concerned about, but Fu Qingping’s strength he had to be wary of.

While he hesitated whether or not to act, his gaze inadvertently fell on an old man standing in the shadows among the people behind Huang Yunfeng. The old man seemed insignificant, was hiding in the shadows, and few people even noticed him. But Du Canglang saw clearly, this old man looked really familiar!
