Urban Martial Saint

Xu Cunxiao was captured by Ye Qing, and his first impulse was to resist and escape. However, before he could muster any strength to struggle, he was caught by Fu Qingping.

With Fu Qingping’s formidable skills, Xu Cunxiao became completely deflated, having no strength left in his body, as Fu Qingping had pressed down on his acupoints.

”Don’t get excited.” Seeing Huang Yunfeng and the others looking worried, Ye Qing calmly smiled and said, ”Capturing him doesn’t threaten you. What are you afraid of?”

”Hmph!” Huang Yunfeng snorted coldly, saying, ”Ye Qing, is there any point in using such tricks?”

Ye Qing let out a cold laugh and ignored Huang Yunfeng, instead placing his right palm in front of Xu Cunxiao, saying, ”Look carefully!”

Xu Cunxiao, being held by Fu Qingping, was terrified to the core and had no mind to look at Ye Qing’s hand. However, everyone else was intently watching Ye Qing’s palm, including Du Canglang standing outside the door. Though he was standing quite far away, his sharp gaze allowed him to clearly see Ye Qing’s palm.

As everyone focused on him, Ye Qing took out two pieces of the Devouring Demon Flower from his body, handed one to Xu Cunxiao, and said coldly, ”Eat it.”

Xu Cunxiao looked horrified at the Devouring Demon Flower, thinking it was some kind of poison, and dared not open his mouth. But Ye Qing gave him no chance to refuse, directly prying open his mouth and stuffing the flower inside.

The Devouring Demon Flower dissolved instantly upon entry, turning into a cool liquid that flowed throughout his body, leaving Xu Cunxiao incapable of even attempting to spit it out.

Everyone stared at Ye Qing in astonishment, clueless about what he was doing, or what he had fed Xu Cunxiao. Naturally, they all assumed it was poison, otherwise Ye Qing wouldn’t have made Xu Cunxiao eat it.

After feeding Xu Cunxiao one piece, Ye Qing casually put the other piece into his own mouth, which shocked everyone even more. Huang Yunfeng widened his eyes and exclaimed urgently, ”Ye Qing, what are you doing?”

”Don’t worry, it won’t kill me.” Ye Qing chuckled, feeling the Devouring Demon Flower enter his body, and the Buddha’s Relic in his right palm began to stir.

During this period, Ye Qing had basically figured out the pattern of the Buddha’s Relic. When its power doesn’t manifest, the Relic remains hidden and cannot be seen from the outside. When its power appears, the Relic shows up in his palm, visible to outsiders.

Ye Qing couldn’t control the power of the Buddha’s Relic, nor could he control its pattern of appearing and hiding. However, one thing was certain: if stimulated by the Demonic Sect Power, the power contained within the Relic would immediately surface, causing the Relic to become visible.

Ye Qing had just consumed a piece of the Devouring Demon Flower, which contained Demonic Sect Power that would stimulate the Buddha’s Relic upon entering the body, thereby revealing its power. He wanted Huang Yunfeng and the others to see the Buddha’s Relic, so Huang Yunfeng would be intimidated and not rashly make a move, thereby protecting those around him.

Everything unfolded as Ye Qing anticipated. After the Devouring Demon Flower entered his body, the power of the Buddha’s Relic slowly emerged in his right palm. As the power appeared, the Relic gradually manifested in Ye Qing’s palm, accompanied faintly by sparkling golden light, drawing considerable attention.

Xu Cunxiao was not focused on Ye Qing’s palm, thus paying little attention to it. However, everyone else saw clearly as a visible sphere appeared in Ye Qing’s palm, seemingly embedded within. The most critical aspect was that the sphere emitted waves of golden light, creating an aura of majestic dignity.

Standing beside Ye Qing, Fu Qingping, having the clearest view, couldn’t help but exclaim, ”This... this really is the Buddha’s Relic...”

”It really is the Buddha’s Relic!” Huang Yunfeng exclaimed as well.

”Is this the Buddha’s Relic?”

”The ancestors said so, it surely can’t be wrong!”

”But why is the Buddha’s Relic inside Ye Qing’s body?”

”How could Ye Qing have the Buddha’s Relic and still get captured by us?”

The Huang Family members started discussing loudly. The appearance of the Buddha’s Relic excited everyone immensely. After all, it was a power capable of slaying the Corpse Ghost Dragon, something many in the world coveted!

While everyone was talking, Ye Qing quietly approached Xu Cunxiao’s ear and whispered, ”What I just gave you is the Holy Detoxifying Medicine. It can remove all the Gu insects in your body!”

Ye Qing’s mouth was blocked by Xu Cunxiao’s head, so no one saw him speaking to Xu Cunxiao. Besides, in the dungeon, the Huang Family members were shouting in excitement, and no one expected Ye Qing to say such words to Xu Cunxiao at that moment.

”Huh?” Xu Cunxiao was taken aback, looking at Ye Qing in astonishment with an incredulous expression.

Ye Qing ignored him, smiled coldly, and suddenly let go, releasing Xu Cunxiao.

Fu Qingping saw Ye Qing release his hand and didn’t know Ye Qing’s intention but followed suit and released his hand too. But at that moment, Xu Cunxiao was still in shock, staring blankly at Ye Qing, completely forgetting to retreat and escape. Perhaps, for the rest of his life, he would never understand why Ye Qing would give him Holy Medicine to rid him of the Gu insects in his body!

Actually, not only Xu Cunxiao, but even those like Black Bear Liu Mubai around Ye Qing had no idea what Ye Qing intended. It was known that Xu Cunxiao was the murderer who killed Tie Yongwen, whom Ye Qing always wanted to kill. Why would he save him?

Only Ye Qing himself understood his intentions clearly. He fed Xu Cunxiao a Devouring Demon Flower, wanting to use Xu Cunxiao’s hand to deal with Wang Tian’an. Ye Qing knew Xu Cunxiao was controlled by Wang Tian’an and hated him deeply in his heart. However, the Gu insects in his body restrained him, preventing him from expressing his resentment. Ye Qing freed him from the threat of the Gu insects, so Xu Cunxiao would surely seek revenge on Wang Tian’an first. Although Xu Cunxiao was not strong, his scheming was far superior to Wang Tian’an’s, making it not difficult to deal with Wang Tian’an. Ye Qing’s move was to ’use another to kill’, using Xu Cunxiao to deal with Wang Tian’an!

Wang Tian’an hadn’t heard clearly what Ye Qing said to Xu Cunxiao, but seeing Ye Qing release Xu Cunxiao, he was puzzled. In his view, Xu Cunxiao getting so close to Ye Qing meant certain death. Who could have thought that Ye Qing would release Xu Cunxiao and even feed him something unknown, which Wang Tian’an instinctively felt was problematic.

”Buddha’s Relic! This is the Buddha’s Relic!” Huang Yunfeng was full of excitement, looking at Ye Qing’s right palm with excitement, saying, ”I thought capturing you would reveal the whereabouts of the Buddha’s Relic. Who knew, capturing you equates to obtaining the Buddha’s Relic, for it is on you. Hahaha, fortune truly favors me. Upon exiting seclusion, I acquire such a treasure. With this Buddha’s Relic, who under the heavens can stand against me?”

”Old Ancestor, such a fortune is normal!” Someone nearby flattered.

”Hahaha...” Huang Yunfeng was pleased, nodding contentedly. Then he looked at Ye Qing and said, ”Ye, hand over the Buddha’s Relic, and I’ll let you go. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

”Are you stupid?” Ye Qing looked at him coldly and said, ”Didn’t you hear what I just told you? The Buddha’s Relic has already merged with my body. Once I die, the power of the Relic will scatter. Huang Yunfeng, I advise you to treat me well; otherwise, you’ll never get the Buddha’s Relic in this life!”

Huang Yunfeng frowned, staring at Ye Qing for a moment, and said, ”I don’t believe it. How could the Buddha’s Relic merge with your body? Ye Qing, don’t try to scare me. I’ll kill you and take out the Buddha’s Relic!”

”Fine, go ahead!” Ye Qing provocatively waved his right hand, saying, ”The Buddha’s Relic is right here, come and get it if you have the ability!”

Huang Yunfeng looked at Ye Qing’s right palm, wanting to get the Buddha’s Relic, but seeing Fu Qingping beside Ye Qing, he was apprehensive. Fu Qingping was also in the dungeon, and if he dared to approach, he couldn’t avoid Fu Qingping’s Qingping Sword. So, for the moment, he was helpless.

”Old Ancestor, this isn’t a hard problem to solve,” a Huang Family member whispered, ”To deal with them isn’t difficult. We could flood the place and drown them all. That way, you can obtain the Buddha’s Relic!”

”Great idea!” Ye Qing laughed heartily, saying, ”Since I’m in this place, I never expected to leave alive. Let me tell you, don’t use water; it’s too slow. Use fire, it’s quicker. Once I’m burned, you can come in and collect my corpse. However, whether the Buddha’s Relic is still useful depends on your luck!”

Huang Yunfeng frowned. Although he spoke boldly earlier, in truth, he didn’t dare to kill Ye Qing. If indeed the power of the Buddha’s Relic would dissipate upon Ye Qing’s death, then killing Ye Qing would be wasting the Relic.

Huang Yunfeng had spent great effort capturing Ye Qing and the Buddha’s Relic was within reach. This was a rare opportunity he dare not gamble. Obtaining the Buddha’s Relic would grant him dominion; failing to acquire it would invite trouble from many angered by his actions. Therefore, he must obtain the Buddha’s Relic no matter what!
