Urban Martial Saint

Upon hearing Fu Qingping’s words, Huangfu Ziyu didn’t react much, as she had no idea who the Immortal Lord was. However, the Wolf Monk’s brows furrowed in surprise as he looked at Fu Qingping and asked, ”The Immortal Lord?”

Fu Qingping slowly nodded and said in a deep voice, ”That’s right, he is the Immortal Lord!”

”He is the Immortal Lord?” The Wolf Monk stared at the Immortal Lord in astonishment, his brows knit tightly. Unlike Huangfu Ziyu, who knew nothing, he had heard of the Immortal Lord’s reputation and naturally understood what kind of outcome encountering him here would lead to.

Wanyan Hongsheng sneered at Fu Qingping and whispered to the Immortal Lord, ”Undying Senior, these people have a close relationship with Ye Qing. Especially that Huangfu Ziyu, not to mention her close ties with Ye Qing, she even has the Sun Shooting Bow with her!”

Upon hearing the words ”Sun Shooting Bow,” a gleam flashed across the Immortal Lord’s eyes. In fact, when Fu Qingping and the others came in, he had already made up his mind to absorb the power of these three. After all, Fu Qingping was quite strong, and absorbing his power would undoubtedly significantly restore his own strength. Now, hearing that he could also acquire the Sun Shooting Bow, he was naturally thrilled and even more unwilling to let them go.

”You young one, you seem to have quite the knowledge, knowing of my title!” The Immortal Lord coldly looked at Fu Qingping and said, ”Since you know my title, you should know what to do. Hand over the Sun Shooting Bow and surrender obediently, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, my methods are something I suspect you would not want to experience in this lifetime!”

Fu Qingping’s brow furrowed as he coldly stared at the Immortal Lord, speaking in a deep voice, ”Immortal Lord, I respect you as a senior, but that doesn’t mean we fear you. If you intend to bully us, you must first see if the sword in my hand agrees!”

The Immortal Lord didn’t know who Fu Qingping was, and being highly skilled and daring, he naturally didn’t regard Fu Qingping highly. Upon hearing this, he laughed loudly and said, ”What difference does it make if that sword of yours disagrees? A piece of scrap metal, it’s not even sharp enough to scratch an itch, and you think you can frighten me with it? Hmph, I won’t waste words with you. I’ll count to three—you either surrender on your own, hand over the Sun Shooting Bow, and kowtow three times to me, or when I make a move, you will realize my power!”

”No need to count!” Fu Qingping responded straightforwardly, ”Beat this sword in my hand first!”

After finishing his words, Fu Qingping placed his hand on the sword hilt, staring coldly at the Immortal Lord, as if he might draw his sword at any moment.

The Immortal Lord laughed instead of getting angry, watching Fu Qingping from afar without initiating an attack. In his view, Fu Qingping and the others were like fish in a barrel, not worth mentioning, and he could kill them anytime, so he paid no mind.

Fu Qingping did not attack directly but instead scanned the members of the Wanyan Family beside the Immortal Lord with his gaze, meanwhile secretly transmitting his voice to Huangfu Ziyu and the Wolf Monk, ”This man is the Immortal Lord, extremely powerful, and not someone we can handle. I’ll hold them off, while you two get out of here and head to Shenchuan City, where I’ll meet you later!”

This transmission was only heard by Huangfu Ziyu and the Wolf Monk. The two exchanged a glance, and Huangfu Ziyu slightly shook her head, gripping the Sun Shooting Bow, she directly aimed a full bow at the Immortal Lord. The meaning was clear—even if outmatched, they would fight to the death with the Immortal Lord!

Seeing Huangfu Ziyu’s stance, Fu Qingping couldn’t help but worry and glanced at the Wolf Monk. The Wolf Monk said nothing but slowly moved to Huangfu Ziyu’s side, and nodded slightly to Fu Qingping.

Seeing the Wolf Monk’s action, Fu Qingping understood his intention, and without further ado, leaped into the center of the scene. His hand gripped the hilt of the Qingping Sword, and he shouted, ”The Green Duckweed Emerges, Shocking the World!”

With this shout, the Qingping Sword was unsheathed, a streak of green light sweeping through the venue. Wherever the green light pointed, icy rays followed. The Qingping Sword, seeming to envelop the entire field, did not target the Immortal Lord but swept through all the members of the Wanyan Family.

The members of the Wanyan Family initially thought Fu Qingping would go all out against the Immortal Lord, but they didn’t expect his first move to target them instead. Unprepared, as they saw the sweeping green light and felt the chilling aura, they realized they couldn’t possibly withstand it, so they desperately tried to dodge.

However, Fu Qingping’s attack was too quick, and the Sword Qi of the Qingping Sword was extremely sharp and swift. It was already too late for these people to dodge; the green light swept through, causing them to scream and be sent flying. The weaker ones were directly split in two by the Sword Qi, their bodies lying horizontally on the ground. While those at the acme level had faster reactions and speed, they still couldn’t escape the Sword Qi, each suffering some injuries. The unluckiest person had his left arm chopped off, and the strongest, Wanyan Hongsheng, had a foot-long wound cut on his body, bleeding profusely.

Indeed, the Green Duckweed Emergence astonished the world!

The Qingping Sword merely unsheathed, yet its might injured all the ten plus members of the Wanyan Family. Although Fu Qingping’s sword strike had an element of ambush, achieving this feat was undeniably impressive, and the power of this sword was truly shocking!

This sword strike also completely convinced Wanyan Hongsheng of what The Immortal Lord said earlier. The power of Fu Qingping’s sword was clear evidence of his strength, certainly far above Du Canglang’s. But when did Fu Qingping become so formidable?

In fact, what was most shocking was not Fu Qingping’s sword, but rather the Wolf Monk. At the same time as Fu Qingping made his move, the Wolf Monk also directly reached out and struck a major acupoint on Huangfu Ziyu’s back.

Huangfu Ziyu was fully engrossed in drawing her bow to deal with The Immortal Lord and didn’t anticipate an attack from behind. Moreover, she greatly trusted the Wolf Monk, naturally not expecting him to make a move against her. Completely unguarded, she was struck down by the Wolf Monk. She turned her head, looking at the Wolf Monk in astonishment, opening her mouth to speak, but she couldn’t utter a word.

The Wolf Monk also didn’t say anything, directly grabbing Huangfu Ziyu, turned around, and ran out of the canyon. All this happened in a flash, just as the members of the Wanyan Family were being struck down by Fu Qingping’s sword, leaving everyone without time to react, nor did anyone notice what was happening with the Wolf Monk.

In truth, this was all part of Fu Qingping and the Wolf Monk’s secret plan. Fu Qingping would draw everyone’s attention with his sword, while the Wolf Monk would subdue Huangfu Ziyu and take her away. After all, Huangfu Ziyu had a fiercely determined nature and, faced with such a situation, she would certainly not flee alone. So Fu Qingping and the Wolf Monk could only use this method to first ensure her escape.

The Immortal Lord stood to the side, initially watching Fu Qingping’s swordplay with great interest. Fu Qingping struck back the people of the Wanyan Family with one sword, and even The Immortal Lord couldn’t help but admire the power of the strike. Even though The Immortal Lord’s strength had already surpassed the pinnacle level, he admitted he couldn’t summon such a strike with his longsword. So, one must admit Fu Qingping’s swordsmanship had indeed reached a level of transcendental mastery.

But, when he saw the Wolf Monk running away with Huangfu Ziyu, his expression immediately changed. With a flash of cold light in his eyes, he raised his voice and shouted, ”Where do you think you’re going!”

With this cold shout, The Immortal Lord also directly chased after them, intending to pursue the Wolf Monk and Huangfu Ziyu. But as he took just two steps forward, a streak of green light swept over—Fu Qingping’s Qingping Sword.

”A mere flicker, daring to compete with the sun and moon!” The Immortal Lord roared angrily, sweeping his hand, and the green light instantly shattered under his blow.

The green light, though the Sword Aura of the Qingping Sword, was the result of Inner Strength, a surge of Sword Qi, merely pure force. This force, the likes of Wanyan Hongsheng and his men couldn’t resist, yet to The Immortal Lord, it was as if nothing. After all, The Immortal Lord’s power had surpassed the Acme realm, a gap in level that Fu Qingping simply couldn’t match.

Fu Qingping’s sword strike failed to hinder The Immortal Lord, as he had expected. Without the slightest hesitation, he accelerated forward to meet The Immortal Lord, striking with three consecutive Sword Auras aimed at him.

”Noisy!” The Immortal Lord coldly shouted, still sweeping his hand, and these three Sword Auras were also crushed. Simultaneously, he slashed a palm through the air at Fu Qingping, his palm wind fierce, whistling sharply through the air, showcasing the power of his strike.

Seeing The Immortal Lord’s strike, Fu Qingping was shocked and quickly flipped backwards in the air, scrambling to evade the palm strike. However, The Immortal Lord’s hand was just too fast, and Fu Qingping’s flip was unable to avoid this blow. Seeing the palm about to strike his body, Fu Qingping suddenly thrust his Qingping Sword horizontally, desperately blocking The Immortal Lord’s palm.

The Qingping Sword, resilient in material, naturally suffered no damage blocking The Immortal Lord’s palm. However, the Qingping Sword could only dispel part of the palm’s force. Fu Qingping still bore much of the force, being struck to fly backwards, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood while still in the air, having sustained internal injuries.

Watching from the side, Wanyan Hongsheng’s eyes widened. Not long ago, when Fu Qingping faced them, he was so imposing. Who would have thought, facing The Immortal Lord, Fu Qingping couldn’t even withstand a single palm strike. Was The Immortal Lord’s strength that terrifying?

Though The Immortal Lord drove Fu Qingping back with a palm strike, causing considerable injury to him, The Immortal Lord himself was forced to stop, unable to continue the pursuit. By now, the Wolf Monk with Huangfu Ziyu had already escaped the canyon. Chasing after them now would be quite difficult.
