Urban Martial Saint

Liu Mubai’s heart was pierced through, and it was already incredibly difficult for him to hold on to a breath. Yet, at this moment, he was still worrying about Ye Qing over there, which was truly touching.

”Don’t speak! I’m here, and dying won’t be that easy for you!” said Bai Li Xi, pulling out several bottles and jars from his body and pouring all the medicine powder onto Liu Mubai’s wound. Then, he took out a box that seemed very precious from his body. He opened the box, pulled out a pill, and took a deep breath, seemingly hesitant, but then clenched his teeth and directly stuffed the pill into Liu Mubai’s mouth.

The medicine powder had already stopped Liu Mubai’s wound from bleeding. But a ruptured heart is different from ordinary injuries; simply not bleeding does not save a life. Liu Mubai was originally on the brink of death, and this pill in his mouth could not be swallowed. However, Bai Li Xi, in a fit of madness, covered his mouth and nose, forcing him to swallow the pill.

After the pill entered his stomach, Liu Mubai felt an inexplicable warmth in his body. This warmth made him feel drowsy. However, just as he was about to close his eyes, Bai Li Xi slapped him directly on the face.

”Don’t sleep; if you fall asleep, you’ll never wake up!” Bai Li Xi shouted loudly.

”Mr. Bai Li, my heart is torn, I... I’m done for...” Liu Mubai replied with a trembling voice, but after saying this, even he was shocked. He knew the few words he said earlier had already drained all his energy, but now, speaking again didn’t seem so exhausting.

Bai Li Xi said, ”So what if your heart is torn? The pill I just gave you is the Recreation Pill left by my Master. My Master said that this Recreation Pill, as long as a person hasn’t died and still has a breath, can bring them back. You want to die? It’s not that easy!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Mubai was inevitably a bit shaken. He looked at Bai Li Xi and said, ”But... my heart is damaged...”

”Even if your head was cut off, I’d make sure you lived!” Bai Li Xi replied, and then said in a low voice, ”Of course, the most crucial part is to let your wound heal. A heart injury is different from other places. Although you’ve taken the Recreation Pill, it only ensures survival. To heal the heart’s wound, you’ll need something else.”

Liu Mubai felt even more shaken and stared at Bai Li Xi for a while before saying, ”Mr. Bai Li, this... this Recreation Pill must be very precious, right?”

Bai Li Xi said, ”No need to mention it. My Master only gave me this one. Now, it’s the only one in the whole wide world. Do you think it’s precious?”

Liu Mubai took a deep breath, looking gratefully at Bai Li Xi, and said, ”Thank you, Mr. Bai Li!”

Bai Li Xi waved his hand directly and said, ”Don’t talk to me about gratitude or anything. Damn it, that foreign bastard was so arrogant in front of me; that’s what I can’t stand. Although I can’t beat him, my medical skills won’t lose to him. If I let you die in front of me like this, how could I still call myself Sai Hua Tuo?”

Though Bai Li Xi said these words, Liu Mubai was still grateful because this Recreation Pill was extremely precious.

”Mr. Bai Li, why don’t we contact Ye Zi first.” Liu Mubai said, ”This foreigner must have some grudge with Ye Zi, which is why he came to capture Ye Jun. This matter must be quickly communicated to Ye Zi. Also, Ye Zi will need to bring Senior Fu; otherwise, he may not be a match for the foreigner!”

Bai Li Xi nodded, took out the phone, and contacted Ye Qing to inform him of the situation here. Upon receiving this news, Ye Qing was undoubtedly shocked and told them not to act recklessly; he would come over with people immediately.

At the same time, on the cliff on the other side of the highway, Nalan Jingwei and Executioner Scholar stood together, coldly watching the situation below. Actually, after leaving Beimang Mountain, both had come to Shenchuan City, still not giving up on the Buddha’s Relic. However, both were well aware of Huaxia’s rules and did not attack ordinary people. Therefore, they followed behind the Great Lord, watching him take action while those two planned to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, letting the Great Lord take the lead.

After Bai Li Xi made the call, the two did not linger there and left simultaneously.

”Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi, truly lives up to his reputation!” Nalan Jingwei murmured, ”That Liu Mubai, his heart was pierced, yet he can still survive. The legacy left by Divine Doctor An Shiping is indeed extraordinary!”

The Executioner Scholar furrowed his brow; he remained silent, yet he was pondering over this matter. He hadn’t seen Divine Doctor An Shiping’s medical skills before, having only heard legends about them, so naturally he didn’t think much of it. Witnessing Baili Xi’s medical skills today was already enough to shock him. Considering this, how profound must Divine Doctor An Shiping’s medical skills be? And it was after entering the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates that Divine Doctor An Shiping achieved such medical prowess. This makes the contents within the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, indeed, remarkable, stirring his desire for them ever more.

”That Great Lord captured Ye Qing’s brother, what do you think his intentions are?” Nalan Jingwei whispered.

”What else could he want, he is surely going to use him to threaten Ye Qing!” the Executioner Scholar replied solemnly.

”Using Ye Qing’s brother as leverage doesn’t seem quite right, does it?” Nalan Jingwei said, ”Fu Qingping has always been by Ye Qing’s side, so the Great Lord should know that even if he captured Ye Qing’s brother, there’s not much chance to deal with Ye Qing. On the contrary, if Fu Qingping seizes the opportunity, the Great Lord’s life would surely be forfeit.”

The Executioner Scholar frowned. He had been focusing on the matters of Heaven Earth Man Three Gates and hadn’t yet considered this scenario. Hearing what Nalan Jingwei pointed out now, he too felt that something was amiss.

”The only possibility is that he intends to take Ye Qing’s brother to the Church to force Ye Qing there,” Nalan Jingwei suggested, looking at the Executioner Scholar, ”However, this also seems improbable. After all, the Great Lord’s entire entourage was killed in Huaxia, and if he takes Ye Qing back, it could be seen as an achievement. Just taking Ye Qing’s brother back, though, doesn’t count as an achievement. Moreover, he’s not sure if Ye Qing would risk everything to go to the Church for his brother. If Ye Qing doesn’t go to the Church, wouldn’t the Great Lord be making a futile trip? In contrast, with the events that occurred in Huaxia this time, returning to the Church would mean certain death for him!”

”So you mean...” the Executioner Scholar looked at Nalan Jingwei and asked quietly.

”I can’t fathom what exactly the Great Lord plans to do with Ye Qing’s brother, but I think we need not overthink it,” Nalan Jingwei chuckled, ”We just need to follow this Great Lord and see how he intends to deal with Ye Qing. Anyway, he won’t bring Ye Qing’s brother to the Church, so we need not worry too much. As long as we don’t reveal ourselves, we are safe. If the Great Lord’s plan is effective, perhaps he might indeed capture Ye Qing, and then we can swoop in like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, seizing Ye Qing from his hands, and it would be much easier.”

The Executioner Scholar pondered for a while and then spoke in a deep voice, ”But what if we’re mistaken, and the Great Lord does intend to take Ye Qing’s brother to the Church? Don’t forget, this is Ye Qing’s only brother, and if the Great Lord uses him to threaten Ye Qing, Ye Qing might really go to the Church. If Ye Qing goes to the Church, wouldn’t we lose everything?”

”No need to worry about that,” Nalan Jingwei replied, ”Since we’re following the Great Lord, we know his every move. If he really plans to go to the Church, then we intervene to stop him, wouldn’t that solve the problem? My point is, let’s not intervene until he tries going to the Church, and wait for our chance.”

Nalan Jingwei’s approach seemed to satisfy the Executioner Scholar. He nodded slowly and said, ”Sounds good, we just need to follow the Great Lord, and let him handle everything. Moreover, Ye Qing’s brother isn’t someone we captured, so we haven’t broken any rules. Even if Shijia or Wuji gets involved, it’s unrelated to us!”

”Hahaha...” Nalan Jingwei laughed heartily, nodding, ”That’s precisely what I meant.”

The Executioner Scholar also smiled, giving Nalan Jingwei a long look, ”Nalan Jingwei, your mind is far sharper than my previous three companions. If they were as astute as you, they wouldn’t have ended up where they did.”

Hearing this, Nalan Jingwei was overjoyed, realizing the Executioner Scholar intended to form an alliance. Indeed, he also wished to ally with the Executioner Scholar. After all, the Executioner Scholar’s strength was on par with his own, plus, the Executioner Scholar was extremely clever. With the Executioner Scholar’s help, his power would significantly increase.

”Just joking, Executioner Scholar,” Nalan Jingwei laughed, ”People often say that the Executioner Scholar’s strategies are unmatched; in front of the Executioner Scholar, Nalan is willing to accept inferiority. Actually, we both have the same objective, and if we join forces, is there anything we can’t achieve? If we get the Buddha’s Relic, entering Heaven Earth Man Three Gates would be a breeze!”

The Executioner Scholar’s eyes lit up, as Nalan Jingwei’s words struck a chord within him. He had been in seclusion for more than thirty years for the opportunity to enter Heaven Earth Man Three Gates. The prospect of entering Heaven Earth Man Three Gates offered a chance for longevity and life extension, which was now his sole aim.
