Urban Martial Saint

Everyone was watching Fu Qingping, and the crowd had completely blocked Fu Qingping’s escape routes, looking like they wanted to take this opportunity to kill Fu Qingping in one fell swoop.

Despite being surrounded, Fu Qingping showed no signs of worry or panic, but was unusually calm. Looking at Nalan Jingwei, he said, ”If you want to save time, there’s the best way: decide winners and losers in three moves!”

”What do you mean decide winners and losers in three moves?” Nalan Jingwei hadn’t caught on.

”Fu Qingping, today is a life-and-death battle, not a contest deciding winners and losers. No need to talk about moves here and there, today we must kill you!” the Executioner Scholar shouted loudly.

Fu Qingping ignored him completely, only looked at Nalan Jingwei, and said, ”Decide winners and losers in three moves. If within three moves, I can’t kill you all, then you can leave alive!”

”What do you mean by this?” Nalan Jingwei frowned, feeling quite displeased with Fu Qingping’s words. He spoke of deciding winners and losers in three moves, but Fu Qingping was actually talking about killing them within three moves, which surely disconcerted him.

Although each of their strengths couldn’t match Fu Qingping, they weren’t lacking to this extent. Eleven peak masters were besieging Fu Qingping alone; logically, they should be deciding Fu Qingping’s life and death, not the other way around, with Fu Qingping controlling their fate!

”Senior Fu, don’t you find it meaningless to speak this way?” Nalan Jingwei said coldly, ”Within three moves, if you can’t kill us, you’ll let us leave alive? Humph, from your words, if we can’t defeat you within three moves, does it count as your win?”

Fu Qingping looked at Nalan Jingwei and asked in return, ”You want to defeat me?”

”Does Senior Fu think this is impossible?” Nalan Jingwei responded coldly.

Fu Qingping stared at Nalan Jingwei for a long time, suddenly smiled faintly. He hopped off the Qingping Sword, shook his right hand, and the Qingping Sword directly sprang from the ground, falling into his hand, as if drawn by his power. This move left everyone utterly astonished.

”I still say, within three moves. If you can still be alive, then I will let you leave alive!” Fu Qingping gripped the Qingping Sword and said, ”Now, receive my first move!”

After Fu Qingping finished speaking, he didn’t strike immediately, but reached out his hand, slowly stroking the Qingping Sword, as if caressing a beloved object.

”Fu Qingping, you...” The Executioner Scholar opened his mouth to curse, and at that moment, the Qingping Sword in Fu Qingping’s hand suddenly transformed into a Qing Mang, sweeping towards him directly. The speed was so fast, it completely caught him off guard. The Executioner Scholar knew dodging was impossible; he could only take a deep breath, pushing his palms forward vigorously, intending to use his power to fend off the Qing Mang. However, when his palm force collided with the Qing Mang in mid-air, he felt a mighty force pressing towards him. Even with the Executioner Scholar’s level of skill, he was pushed back three steps by this force, and his throat tasted sweet—it was internal injury.

This situation greatly shocked the Executioner Scholar, and while astounded at Fu Qingping’s formidable power, he raised his head to shout. Just as he lifted his head, he saw that even the Great Lord beside him had retreated two steps, not standing where he originally did.

Nalan Jingwei had also retreated three steps, and as he raised his head, witnessing the surroundings, his face mirrored the shock of the Executioner Scholar. Everyone had retreated, undoubtedly forced back by the Sword Aura. In other words, at that moment, Fu Qingping’s Qingping Sword had attacked everyone present, forcing them all to retreat. What kind of speed and power did such a sword move have!

At this moment, everyone suddenly somewhat believed Fu Qingping’s words. With such speed and power, wanting to kill everyone seemed not so difficult after all. Within three moves, among them, surely someone would die!

Just as everyone was shocked, Fu Qingping loudly proclaimed, ”Second move!”

Everyone quickly looked up at Fu Qingping. The power of the first move was already so strong, just how formidable would the second move be?

In this second move, Fu Qingping didn’t make a move but directly threw the Qingping Sword into the air. The Qingping Sword instantly transformed into thousands of Sword Auras in the air, like sunlight shining everywhere, rushing towards everyone present.

”It’s the Sword Slash the World!” Nalan Jingwei let out a roar, taking three steps in succession, and three golden lotuses emerged beside him, protecting his entire body within them.

The Executioner Scholar was from the same era as Fu Qingping, so he naturally knew this Sword Slash the World move was Fu Qingping’s most powerful unique skill. He originally thought that Fu Qingping would use this Sword Slash the World as the third move, but unexpectedly, he used it on the second move, which shook him to the core.

”Be careful!” The Executioner Scholar shouted loudly, channeling all his cultivation power, forming a protection shield around himself. After all, those sword auras falling from the sky were like raindrops, and no matter how fast he was, it was impossible to evade them all. So the only way to dodge was to circulate his inner strength around himself, forming a Qi Wall to fend off the falling sword auras.

The people from the Church didn’t know what was happening, but the first move by Fu Qingping had already amazed them, so they naturally didn’t dare underestimate these beams of light. Two red-robed Archbishops stood together and joined forces to manifest the Holy Light Shield, a white light appeared out of thin air, enveloping the two of them.

As for the Great Lord and the other two, they were not idle. All three of them had black Qi emanating around them, with their bodies wrapped in it. Ye Qing had seen the Great Lord use this move before, knowing that the black Qi emitting from around them was their most powerful technique, a Forbidden Move. It was evident that these people were also intimidated by Fu Qingping’s sword moves and were preparing full resistance.

But this was only the second move, and these people were forced to use their trump cards. How would they resist the upcoming third move?

Almost instantly, those Sword Auras in the sky fell like raindrops. Nalan Jingwei had personally endured this move before, so he knew that these Sword Auras were not just ordinary Sword Qi, but rather small swords formed after the Qingping Sword disintegrated. Thus, the power of these Sword Auras was far more potent than ordinary Sword Qi. Therefore, among everyone present, he was the most well-prepared.

Ye Qing watched the scene from a tree. The Sword Auras fell like raindrops, and although the process was very quick, the situation on the scene changed dramatically. Firstly, an elder on the side of the Sky-Killing Master and Nalan Jingwei was injured by these Sword Auras and fell, bleeding profusely from multiple wounds, due to the small swords breaking through his defenses and causing injuries. The remaining people, although barely standing, were in varying conditions. Most of them were covered in blood stains with multiple cuts, their strength unable to withstand the small swords falling from the sky. Of those in the best condition were naturally Nalan Jingwei, the Executioner Scholar, and the Great Lord. However, even they weren’t much better off, with more or fewer blood marks on their bodies, indicating injuries.

Nalan Jingwei had previously endured this move from Fu Qingping, naturally understanding its formidable power. When he previously encountered Fu Qingping near the cave in Du Canglang’s reclusive area and fought him, Fu Qingping’s strength had notably increased compared to when he was at Huang Family Manor. That alone was already shocking enough, and now, encountering Fu Qingping again at Beimang Mountain, his strength had more than doubled compared to the last time, leaving Nalan Jingwei even more stunned. He really couldn’t comprehend how Fu Qingping’s strength could increase so rapidly in such a short time!

They didn’t know that Fu Qingping had already reached the acme of mastery, just a step away from surpassing it. Last time at Huang Family Manor, witnessing the power of Ye Qing’s Buddha’s Relic left him deeply enlightened, prompting significant short-term growth. Later, when he fought the Immortal Lord at the Gate of the Dead, despite being defeated, it was his first encounter with someone beyond acme, enriching his understanding of that realm. Additionally, Shijia’s guidance led to another rapid increase in Fu Qingping’s power, something unimaginable to anyone else.

Indeed, since Fu Qingping dared to challenge so many people alone, he knew what he was doing. If his strength was insufficient, how could he dare to make such bold claims?

One move of Sword Slash the World injured everyone present. Especially the Sky-Killing Master and an elder with a severed arm, who were severely injured and could only manage to stand, struggling to move.

Fu Qingping glanced at everyone and said softly, ”Prepare yourselves, the third move won’t be as easy to block as the first two!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed. The first move had already instilled fear in them, and the second move injured everyone, almost being unstoppable. And according to Fu Qingping, the third move would be even more powerful than the first two, which was truly frightening. This made it apparent that defeating them wasn’t a difficult task for Fu Qingping. What he said earlier about letting them leave if he couldn’t kill them now didn’t sound like a joke. Though no one knew what Fu Qingping’s third move would be, everyone clearly understood that if he really intended to kill them, they would indeed be in danger.

However, there’s nothing they can do about it now. Since they had already agreed to a three-move challenge with Fu Qingping, they couldn’t escape without taking these three moves. So at this moment, everyone could only brace themselves and wait for Fu Qingping’s third move. Each person trembled internally, quietly pondering on what Fu Qingping’s third move could be and how strong it would be.
