Urban Martial Saint

The Immortal Lord’s face turned grim. After entering the Wanyan Family, he had heard from them that Wu Tianchi indeed left three Sword Marks in the Demon Hideout Cave.

However, neither the Corpse Ghost Dragon nor the members of the Wanyan Family were able to obtain these Sword Marks. Even when the Corpse Ghost Dragon was at the peak of its power, approaching the Sword Marks would still be shaken by the force above them. Moreover, the key issue was that the Corpse Ghost Dragon couldn’t comprehend the Sword Marks, so the Wanyan Family only knew that Wu Tianchi left three Sword Marks but did not understand their purpose.

Actually, Wu Tianchi’s martial arts philosophy differs from Buddhist and Taoist Magic. Therefore, to grasp the true essence within the three Sword Marks, one must lack power to achieve it. Previously, Ye Qing was in this situation; his body contained three forces, yet none belonged to him. Thus, when he went to comprehend Wu Tianchi’s three Sword Marks, he wasn’t repelled by the power within, allowing Ye Qing to understand the martial arts philosophy inside.

After Ye Qing left the Demon Hideout Cave, he passed that martial arts philosophy onto Fu Qingping. Although Fu Qingping did not comprehend it directly from the three Sword Marks, by getting it from Ye Qing, he could at least grasp about ten percent of the sensation. Just this ten percent made Fu Qingping gain a lot, as earlier, one sword strike was able to break through the Immortal Lord’s defense.

Of course, Fu Qingping only understood this much, which amounted to just the power of three swords. If he could comprehend as much as Ye Qing, and learn all ten percent of Wu Tianchi’s martial arts philosophy, then surpassing levels to slay the Immortal Lord today wouldn’t be an issue. Unfortunately, his own power is very strong, so he is incapable of personally comprehending the three Sword Marks. The philosophy obtained from others could never fully obtain the true essence within!

”So you obtained those three Sword Marks from Wu Tianchi, no wonder your strength progressed so swiftly!” The Immortal Lord squinted slightly and said, ”But so what? Your strength is still not enough to kill me. Today, you are doomed to die. Even if you got Wu Tianchi’s three Sword Marks, you ultimately cannot fully digest them, you will never reach a level beyond the acme!”

The Immortal Lord spoke and slowly stretched out his hand to look at Fu Qingping, sneering, ”Make your move, I want to see just how strong Wu Tianchi’s three Sword Marks really are!”

Fu Qingping knew his own strength, although able to break the Immortal Lord’s defense, the earlier success was just because of the Immortal Lord’s carelessness. Now that the Immortal Lord is vigilant, he probably won’t have the chance to even get close to him; the result of this battle is already without suspense.

However, Fu Qingping is not one to accept fate. Since he decided to fight, he certainly wouldn’t retreat.

”Take another of my sword strikes!” Fu Qingping shouted loudly, holding the Qingping Sword, he leaped into the air and slashed down at the Immortal Lord.

”Good timing!” The Immortal Lord also shouted loudly, forming fists with both hands, simultaneously striking upwards. The punch force smashed through the air, directly hitting the sword tip, bending the Qingping Sword.

Fu Qingping borrowed the force to leap and swung three Sword Auras at the Immortal Lord, all of which were blocked by the Immortal Lord’s arm. This Sword Aura simply couldn’t penetrate the Immortal Lord’s defense.

When Fu Qingping landed again, he was already standing behind the Immortal Lord. Fu Qingping once again swung his sword, this time using the second Sword Mark he learned, slashing towards the Immortal Lord’s waist.

Feeling the different power within the longsword, the Immortal Lord dared not be negligent. He immediately shouted loudly, rising on the spot, dodging Fu Qingping’s strike. Simultaneously, he descended from the air, with both palms continuously striking down at Fu Qingping.

Of course, Fu Qingping dared not face the Immortal Lord’s attacks head-on. He quickly turned to evade, the two began dueling on the Stone Platform. Naturally, concerning Fu Qingping’s mastery of those three Sword Marks, the Immortal Lord dared not get too close to Fu Qingping. Hence, Fu Qingping was surprisingly able to persist for a long time under his hand, which was indeed astonishing.

While the two battled, those Church members who originally surrounded the scene discreetly dispersed. However, they did not escape, nor did they enter the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master; instead, they spread out into a circle, quietly surrounding the Stone Platform without anyone knowing what they planned to do.

After everyone took their positions, they all looked towards the Great Lord. He was waiting, and seeing everyone was in place, he took out a small box from his person. When opening this small box, some black blood appeared inside, and astonishingly, the blood continued to flow, seeming to possess a kind of life, looking incredibly strange.

Holding the blood and watching the two battling on the Stone Platform, the Great Lord wiped a cold smile across his mouth. He signaled to everyone with a glance, and later embraced the blood box, slowly beginning to mutter something as if reciting an incantation.

On the Stone Platform, the two were locked in fierce combat, at this point, neither paid attention to the situation around them, naturally unaware of what the Church members were doing.

The surrounding Church members, like the Great Lord, were murmuring something in a low voice. After about half a minute, their chanting finally stopped, following which they opened their eyes simultaneously, all directing their gaze at the Great Lord.

The Great Lord took a deep breath, slowly extending his right hand, suddenly biting off a portion of his right index finger with force, causing fresh blood to gush out immediately.

”Pff.” The Great Lord spat the bitten-off finger into the Blood Box, then aimed his forefinger at the box, letting blood drip into it.

As the blood dripped in, the black liquid inside the Blood Box seemed to be stimulated somehow, swirling even more intensely, appearing even more eerie.

However, the two people on the scene were completely unaware of this situation and continued to fight fiercely. But Fu Qingping had already exhausted his three sword strikes without managing to harm The Immortal Lord in the slightest, and his situation was becoming increasingly dangerous, completely at a disadvantage now.

”Where is your Heavenly Punishment? Why not use your ultimate move?” The Immortal Lord laughed wildly, in his view, Fu Qingping no longer had the strength to fight back. He was certain to win this battle, and the only question now was when to kill Fu Qingping!

Fu Qingping said nothing, continually waiting for the right time and opportunity. Heavenly Punishment was his only chance. If he could use this move to defeat The Immortal Lord, then he’d still have a chance. If he failed, then his life would end here!

But just as the two were locked in conflict, a strange noise suddenly came from the direction of the Great Lord. The Immortal Lord looked over in surprise, just in time to see the Great Elder place the Blood Box to his mouth and drink the blood within.

”What are you doing?” The Immortal Lord asked in astonishment, the situation was utterly confusing to him.

After the blood was swallowed, the Great Lord seemed to endure immense pain, with all the blood vessels in his body bulging, clearly visible on his face, a terrifying sight. At the same time, the experts from the Church surrounding the Stone Platform also began to scream, clouds of black gas rose from their bodies, all rushing into the Great Lord, looking very bizarre.

”Ah! Ah! Ah!” The Great Lord fell to his knees, the intense pain driving him almost insane. Yet, those waves of black gas entering his body made him feel his entire body filled with strength. He clenched his fists, enduring the intense pain, and raised his head, shouting loudly, ”Ancestors, grant me strength!”

The Great Lord spoke in a foreign language, which Fu Qingping and The Immortal Lord naturally didn’t understand. However, seeing the appearance of the Great Lord, they knew something was amiss. The clusters of black gas entering the Great Lord were clearly the power of the other Church experts. The Great Lord was absorbing their strength, what on earth was this bizarre cultivation technique?

”Buffoon, what good is having power!” The Immortal Lord sneered coldly and suddenly struck the Great Lord with a palm, saying coldly, ”Without mastery, having only strength will only make your body explode, seeking your own doom!”

However, when his palm landed on the Great Lord, the Great Lord seemed unfazed, not even swaying. This left The Immortal Lord astounded, and he prepared to attack again, but at this moment, the Great Lord suddenly stood up.

At this moment, the Great Lord’s appearance had completely transformed, his fangs extended half a foot long, and his nails on both hands were like sharp blades. His entire body was shrouded in a layer of black gas, and most shockingly, a pair of wings, black wings, emerged from his back!

”What kind of monster is this?” The Immortal Lord’s eyes widened, and Fu Qingping’s face was also filled with shock, they had never seen such a situation before!

”Hehehe, hahahaha...” The Great Lord continuously chuckled coldly, looking at The Immortal Lord and Fu Qingping, saying, ”Did you think only your Huaxia has power passed down from ancestors? Did you think only your Huaxia’s Buddha’s Relic contained power? Ignorant sinners, today I will show you the bloodline power left by our great ancestor, our great king, our great predecessor Dracula!”

As the Great Lord said this, his voice grew louder and louder until it almost became a roar.

Though The Immortal Lord and Fu Qingping did not know what had happened to the Great Lord, the power emanating from him filled them with a sense of terror.

”I’ll kill you first!” The Immortal Lord roared in anger and leaped towards the Great Lord, striking with both palms.

”Humph!” The Great Lord snorted coldly, his body suddenly moved aside, avoiding the strike from The Immortal Lord.

This left The Immortal Lord dumbfounded. His speed was incredibly fast, yet the Great Lord could still evade his attack, how was that possible?

But before he could react, a large hand had already grasped his shoulder from behind, the sharp nails piercing into his shoulder, causing The Immortal Lord to let out a low cry of pain!
