Urban Martial Saint

Watching the people of the Church, Wanyan Hongsheng quietly approached the Undying Lord and whispered, ”Undying Senior, if you absorb the power of these people, how much of your strength can be restored?”

The Undying Lord glanced over at the people from the Church, calculated slightly in his mind, and replied in a low voice, ”About fifty percent can be restored!”

Wanyan Hongsheng was shocked. There were at least six or seven peak masters among the Church, and the others weren’t weaklings either. If the Undying Lord absorbed their power and could only restore fifty percent of his strength, just how powerful is the Undying Lord really?

”If that’s the case, then we’ll help you, Undying Senior, to capture all these people, allowing you to absorb their power. Consider it a gift from the Wanyan Family to you,” Wanyan Hongsheng said.

”Hahaha...” The Undying Lord laughed heartily and said, ”There’s no need for your help in dealing with them. Just help me guard the canyon exit and prevent them from escaping. Leave the rest to me!”

Wanyan Hongsheng nodded. When the Undying Lord spoke these words, he didn’t feel it was arrogance at all, because the Undying Lord was indeed capable. Although the Undying Lord’s strength had not yet fully recovered, he was an expert beyond the acme level, overpowering peak masters was not a problem at all. Just like when the Undying Lord dealt with them before, even though the Wanyan Family members were not weak, they couldn’t contend with the Undying Lord, for this very reason. Similarly, these people from the Church, in front of the Undying Lord, were like ants without any ability to resist.

”In that case, let’s see Undying Senior’s great skills!” Wanyan Hongsheng signaled to the group beside him, and led them straight out of the hall, heading toward the Church people.

The people from the Church were also moving this way, and the two sides met directly in the open space in the center. Among the people from the Church, leading them was an old man in a red robe, with some gold thread embroidered on his robe, indicating some distinct difference between him and the other red-robed Archbishops.

”Who are you, and did you kill these people?” The old man walked right up to Wanyan Hongsheng and directly asked loudly. He was speaking in Huaxia language, but his voice was extremely stiff, indicating that his Huaxia wasn’t very good.

On the ground were not only the corpses of the Wanyan Family members, but also those of foreigners, who were people of the Church. Seeing their own people dead here, these Church people naturally came forward to immediately question Wanyan Hongsheng.

”So what if we killed them, and so what if we didn’t?” Wanyan Hongsheng asked coldly, showing no trace of panic when faced with these Church experts. After all, they had many experts on their side too, not to mention they had two trump cards: the Undying Lord and the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Either of them was enough to crush these people!

”Such audacity!” The old man was furious as well, pointing at Wanyan Hongsheng and shouting, ”Huaxia people, calamity is upon you, yet you dare to boldly attack and kill members of our Church. Hmph, before my lord descends, I will kill you first and cleanse your sins with your blood!”

”What nonsense is this?” Wanyan Hongsheng muttered. He didn’t want to waste words with these Church people and directly led his group towards the canyon exit.

The Church people were initially prepared to face off against Wanyan Hongsheng and his group, but unexpectedly, they ran towards the canyon exit, leaving the Church people momentarily stunned, unsure of what was happening.

”Trying to run!” The leading old man roared, ”These Huaxia dogs are not weak, let’s take them down together and destroy them!”

The Church people had been itching for action, and hearing the old man’s words, they rushed toward Wanyan Hongsheng and his group. However, Wanyan Hongsheng and his group had no intention of entangling themselves in a fight, avoiding their attacks and moving directly to the canyon exit to stand guard.

”Undying Senior, it’s your turn now!” Wanyan Hongsheng dodged the attacks of a few Church members and shouted from afar to the Undying Lord.

”Kekeke...” The Undying Lord let out a series of strange laughs, already charging forward.

The Church members heard the commotion behind and hastily turned to look. The Undying Lord was already approaching. An old man stood at the very back and bore the brunt of the attack. Seeing the ferocity of the Undying Lord’s approach, the old man quickly clasped his hands together and shouted, ”Holy Light Shield!”

A white light appeared directly in front of him, like a shield, blocking him. This was an ultimate technique of the Church; the shield, once formed, could block any attack, impenetrable by blade or spear!

However, he was facing The Immortal Lord, a powerhouse beyond the acme. With a mere gesture, The Immortal Lord shattered the shield formed by the white light effortlessly, and his claw-like hand grabbed the old man, lifting him up.

”Ah!” The old man screamed miserably, but in the grip of The Immortal Lord, he couldn’t muster any resistance. The strength in his body poured out like a flood, rushing into The Immortal Lord’s being. In an instant, his body turned withered as he was drained of all his power, becoming a dry corpse.

Seeing this, the people of the Church were all shocked. They had never witnessed something like this. The Immortal Lord’s power was immensely strong, yet eerily strange, capable of absorbing a person’s strength completely in such a short time—something they had never seen before!

After absorbing the old man’s power, The Immortal Lord let out another strange laugh, lunging towards the second old man.

”Everyone be careful, this person uses sorcery!” shouted the leading elder, rushing towards The Immortal Lord, yelling, ”Everyone, together! Kill this monster first!”

The people of the Church, frightened by what had just transpired, finally reacted upon hearing the elder’s command, rushing towards The Immortal Lord, attacking him one after another.

Though there were many church members, such a large-scale attack on The Immortal Lord was naturally overwhelming. Even though he was confident, The Immortal Lord dared not withstand so many attacks. He dodged the crowd’s onslaught, darting like a ghost to another elder’s side, gripping his hand, and lifting him up while quickly retreating, absorbing his power while evading attacks from the Church’s members.

The people of the Church never expected The Immortal Lord’s speed to be so fast; even combined, they could not prevent him from capturing yet another person. They were even more stunned and, under the leading elder’s direction, all charged at The Immortal Lord. But their strength was leagues apart, and after a while of chasing him, they couldn’t even touch his clothes, yet he had sapped several more people’s powers, further enhancing his strength, and his moves became even swifter.

The leading elder, seeing the situation, realized that The Immortal Lord was not someone they could handle. Continuing the fight, all of them would surely meet their end here. Without any hesitation, he shouted, ”Everyone retreat; this Huaxia sorcerer is beyond us. Let’s wait for my lord to descend and return to kill him!”

The people of the Church had long wanted to flee but didn’t dare without the elder’s command. Upon hearing the elder’s words, they didn’t hesitate for a moment, turning around to escape without lingering a second longer.

However, the exit of the canyon was already blocked by the Wanyan Family. As they bolted into this area, they were immediately stopped. Although the strengths on both sides were similar, guarding the exit posed no challenge for the Wanyan Family; they couldn’t break through the canyon. Seizing this opportunity, The Immortal Lord managed to slay three more members of the Church, leaving only five people.

The leading elder, observing the situation, knew that they were undoubtedly in grave danger this time. Relinquishing his escape, he turned to face The Immortal Lord and shouted, ”Who exactly are you? Slaying so many of our Church members, do you not dare to name yourself?”

”Jie jie jie...” The Immortal Lord laughed coldly and said, ”Kid, listen here, I am The Undying Lord who rampaged the world invincibly a hundred years ago!”

”The Immortal Lord?” The elder’s face changed. Being a person of some standing within the Church, he had naturally heard of The Immortal Lord’s name and knew their encounter with him meant no hope of survival.

Hearing the elder utter his title, The Immortal Lord became even more smug, sneering, ”You’re not completely ignorant after all, knowing my name. Not bad, not bad!”

As he spoke, The Immortal Lord caught another, draining their power entirely.

The elder’s face was ashen, gazing at the fallen, gritting his teeth, ”The Immortal Lord, the massacre you commit today; someday the Church will surely come to exact vengeance. Don’t think your power makes you truly Invincible Under the Heavens. When my lord descends, your power won’t even rival an ant before him. Killing you would be as simple as swatting a fly!”

”Your lord?” The Immortal Lord glanced at the elder and said, ”You’ve been harping on about your lord, who exactly is he? Hmph, I, The Immortal Lord, have roamed the world fearing no one. Not just you, even your so-called lord shall die if he comes!”

”How dare you!” The elder roared in anger, clearly infuriated by the insult to his lord.

”You’re the one who dares!” The Immortal Lord howled, seizing another church member, draining their power while coldly watching the elder and said sternly, ”Knowing my title, yet speaking to me like this, I see you’re really tired of living. After I kill them, I will deal with you. My methods you might not have seen, but I will definitely make you remember. For I have one hundred ways to make you feel worse than death!”
