Urban Martial Saint

”Ah!”

Captured by The Immortal Lord, even someone as powerful as Du Canglang couldn’t help but let out a mournful scream. He could feel it, The Immortal Lord’s hand seemed to have a suction force, continuously drawing the power from within him. No matter how Du Canglang tried to muster his strength to resist, he couldn’t stop the drain of his Inner Strength. In just a moment, Du Canglang’s left arm noticeably shriveled.

Ye Qing watched all this from the side, and seeing Du Canglang’s left arm shrivel like that, his face changed immediately. He never expected The Immortal Lord’s power to be so terrifying. If this continued, wouldn’t Du Canglang be drained into a husk by The Immortal Lord?

”The Immortal Lord, I have no grievances with you, why do you treat me like this!” Du Canglang cried out in anguish, unable to escape The Immortal Lord’s grasp no matter how he struggled.

”Do I, The Immortal Lord, need a reason to kill?” The Immortal Lord responded with a cold laugh, completely ignoring Du Canglang’s anguished cries, as if he were looking at an ant. Under his overwhelming power, Du Canglang’s left arm shriveled even faster. The loss of power made Du Canglang visibly aged. Without a doubt, if this continued, Du Canglang’s life would be entirely forfeit!

”Your power is very good and strong, perfectly suited for me. I never thought, upon my reemergence, I’d encounter such great power. It seems the heavens favor me, hahaha...” The Immortal Lord laughed wildly. As he absorbed Du Canglang’s power, his skin began to smooth out and gain luster. The infusion of powerful energy seemed to bring him vitality, making him even more vigorous than before.

Du Canglang’s screams continued, the drain of power making him feel the threat of death. However, under The Immortal Lord’s hand, no matter how he wailed, he couldn’t change the outcome, only capable of watching helplessly as all his strength was absorbed by The Immortal Lord, his life inevitably left there.

Suddenly, as Du Canglang was screaming, Ye Qing sprang out from the side. He held the Metamorphic Iron Dagger in his hand and slashed directly at Du Canglang’s left shoulder.

The Immortal Lord was channeling his inner power, not even noticing Ye Qing to the side, and Du Canglang lacked the strength to dodge. With one strike, Ye Qing severed Du Canglang’s entire left arm.

”Ah!” Du Canglang let out another howl, but this time, he escaped The Immortal Lord’s grasp, and the continuous drain of power stopped.

Without thinking much, Du Canglang quickly turned and retreated furiously.

The Immortal Lord’s face turned cold, he looked at Ye Qing to the side and said deeply, ”Little brat, you dare ruin my plan? Hmph, later I’ll make you die even more miserably than him!”

After saying that, The Immortal Lord charged directly at Du Canglang. Du Canglang had nowhere left to retreat and could only dash into the secret chamber. Although there was another person sitting cross-legged inside, faced with imminent death, he couldn’t care about much else.

The Immortal Lord originally chased Du Canglang but stopped abruptly when Du Canglang dashed into the secret chamber. He seemed very wary of the person sitting cross-legged inside, glaring intensely at Du Canglang, yet not charging into the chamber.

Du Canglang had just entered the chamber, having nowhere else to escape, never expecting The Immortal Lord to fear the person sitting there. Seeing The Immortal Lord hesitate to enter, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pressed his left shoulder a few times to temporarily stop the bleeding. Although Ye Qing chopped off his entire left arm, none of it mattered to him. Losing an arm to save his life was the best outcome. Without Ye Qing’s intervention, his life would already be forfeit!

Seeing this situation, Ye Qing dared not linger and quickly, with Wen’er, tried to escape while The Immortal Lord ignored them. However, they hadn’t gone far when The Immortal Lord suddenly turned and rushed in front of them. It seemed The Immortal Lord abandoned Du Canglang in the chamber, intending to capture Ye Qing first.

As The Immortal Lord rushed over, Ye Qing quickly pushed Wen’er aside, swinging the Metamorphic Iron Dagger at The Immortal Lord. He was fully aware that, in front of The Immortal Lord, he was less than an ant but could only desperately struggle.

”Hmph!” The Immortal Lord snorted coldly, casually grabbing Ye Qing’s right arm, and said coldly, ”I’ll drain your power first, then nicely torture you to death!”

As The Immortal Lord grabbed Ye Qing’s right arm, he began to absorb Ye Qing’s strength directly. But since Ye Qing had no power within him, this absorption triggered the Buddha’s Relic, its powerful energy surged forth immediately.

The Immortal Lord initially found it puzzling, not absorbing any strength. Suddenly, the power of the Buddha’s Relic surged forth. The Immortal Lord hadn’t reacted before this powerful force shot out from Ye Qing’s right arm, as if striking The Immortal Lord. He was blasted back over a dozen meters, crashing into the rear wall, shattering it and getting blown out, showing how terrifying that force was.

Actually, The Immortal Lord could be considered fortunate. The force was merely the backlash of absorbing the Buddha’s Relic. This power wasn’t controlled by anyone, so its might was limited, not even one percent of its true potential was unleashed. If Ye Qing could control this power, it would be enough to shatter The Immortal Lord to pieces. After all, the Corpse Ghost Dragon was destroyed like this. Moreover, Ye Qing only had one Buddha’s Relic back then, but now he has two!

Du Canglang was watching everything inside the secret chamber, thinking that Ye Qing was surely doomed when The Immortal Lord captured him, and contemplating whether to go out and save Ye Qing. This time, he wanted to save Ye Qing not for the Buddha’s Relic, but because Ye Qing had saved his life just now. However, he never expected this to happen, with The Immortal Lord being blasted away!

”The power of the Buddha’s Relic!” Du Canglang muttered, instinctively knowing that this was definitely the power of the Buddha’s Relic.

Du Canglang kept an eye on everything outside, but didn’t notice the person sitting cross-legged at the secret chamber’s entrance who slowly opened his eyes. He seemed to have been stimulated by something, but the light in his eyes was far clearer than The Immortal Lord’s!

Ye Qing didn’t expect this to happen either, and he was also stunned. After a while, The Immortal Lord came back in from the doorway, looking disheveled. Blood trickled from his mouth, and his clothes were stained with blood, clearly from being shaken into spitting blood. As soon as he entered, he stared at Ye Qing in terror and said, ”Who are you, really? Why do you possess such pure Buddhist power? No, this... this Buddhist power isn’t something a human can cultivate. How can there be such a terrifying power in the world?”

The Immortal Lord was indeed not an ordinary person; even though only one percent of the Buddha’s Relic’s power was unleashed, he already felt the terror of it!

At this moment, Ye Qing naturally wouldn’t reveal anything about the Buddha’s Relic. He looked at The Immortal Lord calmly and said, ”Why can’t I cultivate such pure Buddhist power?”

”Impossible! Impossible!” The Immortal Lord shook his head repeatedly, saying, ”You’re so young, how could you cultivate such pure Buddhist power? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This power is definitely not yours! Absolutely not yours!”

Saying this, The Immortal Lord’s eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, and he fixed his gaze on Ye Qing, saying, ”Do you have something on you that can concentrate Buddhist power? Could it be the relic of a great Buddhist master on you?”

Ye Qing was nearly broken, he never dreamed that The Immortal Lord could even guess such things. This was problematic; the fact that he had the Buddha’s Relic could no longer be hidden from The Immortal Lord. This meant yet another person was after the Buddha’s Relic!

After saying that, The Immortal Lord became more agitated, rushing towards Ye Qing like an arrow, demanding, ”Hand over that great Buddhist master’s relic!”

Seeing The Immortal Lord charging so fiercely, Ye Qing had nowhere to hide. He could only strike at The Immortal Lord with a loud cry, ”Courting death!”

The Immortal Lord had suffered a great loss under Ye Qing’s hand just now, so naturally, he was very wary. Seeing Ye Qing’s move, he dared not linger and immediately turned to dodge.

Ye Qing seized the opportunity and quickly pulled Wen’er beside him, running towards the direction of the secret chamber. However, The Immortal Lord was too wary of the power of the Buddha’s Relic, and Ye Qing’s move caused him to dodge very far away. By the time he reacted, Ye Qing had already reached the entrance to the secret chamber with Wen’er.

Seeing this situation, The Immortal Lord was so furious that he jumped violently, shouting, ”Get out here!”

He hurried over, but even as fast as he was, it took time to get there. By then, Ye Qing and Wen’er had already entered the secret chamber, almost reaching the side of the person sitting cross-legged.

The Immortal Lord chased to the entrance, seeing this situation, he clenched his teeth and hastily pursued inside, intending to grab Ye Qing and Wen’er out. Though he was very cautious of the person sitting cross-legged, he was willing to risk it all for the Buddha’s Relic, which showed how tempting the Buddha’s Relic was!

Ye Qing didn’t expect The Immortal Lord to dare pursue inside. Seeing the situation, he was also alarmed. Seeing no chance to evade, he suddenly used force to push Wen’er, thrusting her into the secret chamber first. However, he couldn’t escape himself and was directly grabbed by the shoulder by The Immortal Lord.

The Immortal Lord, having captured Ye Qing, immediately turned to rush out of the chamber. Just at this moment, the person who had been sitting cross-legged suddenly stood up, uttering a soft cry, ”Infinite life of the Buddha!”
