Urban Martial Saint

Thinking of this, Ye Qing’s heart stirred. He looked up at the mysterious sphere and suddenly had an idea. This sphere looked very strange and was definitely something left behind by Guiguzi. Could it be hiding some secret? Or perhaps, there was some kind of mechanism inside?

Ye Qing didn’t understand much about mechanisms, but seeing this peculiar object, he naturally wanted to examine it. So, after a slight hesitation, he made up his mind to take the sphere down and take a closer look.

The sphere floated in mid-air, about five or six meters above the ground. Without any Inner Strength, Ye Qing couldn’t just grab the sphere directly. His only option was to climb onto the Werewolf Statue, then take down the sphere to examine it.

Ye Qing felt no goodwill towards this Werewolf Statue, so he wasn’t going to be polite. With that thought, he walked over and climbed up the Werewolf Statue. The Werewolf Statue had arms stretched out, with many places to step on its body. This allowed Ye Qing to climb onto it easily.

As Ye Qing stepped on the statue’s arms and was about to climb up, his eyes inadvertently met those of the werewolf. This startled him, because the eyes of the Werewolf Statue showed a hint of anger!

This revelation made Ye Qing’s expression change. He stared at the eyes of the Werewolf Statue and doubted his own vision. But after another look, he could still sense that the eyes of the Werewolf Statue were indeed filled with anger, staring intently at him.

Ye Qing took a sharp breath. The spirit in the statue’s eyes had previously shocked him. Now, with that spirit changing, Ye Qing felt even more alarmed. Could this Werewolf Statue be alive, capable of expressing its emotions through its eyes?

Ye Qing looked at the Werewolf Statue, while it looked back at him angrily, as if Ye Qing stepping on it was an insult that enraged it. At the same time, Ye Qing saw a trace of disdain in its gaze. It looked at him as if he were an ant, with complete contempt.

This situation filled Ye Qing with both surprise and anger. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly drew the Tianzhu Sword from his back.

”A mere statue dares to glare at me. Fine, I’ll destroy your eyes first and see how you glare at me then!” Ye Qing coldly shouted and thrust the Tianzhu Sword towards the eyes of the Werewolf Statue.

Earlier, witnessing the Werewolf King disregard human life had already filled Ye Qing with resentment. He was pondering whether to destroy the statue. Now, with the statue staring at him, Ye Qing resolved to test it with the Tianzhu Sword. If the Werewolf Statue were alive, it would surely resist. If it didn’t, then Ye Qing was inclined to destroy it anyway.

The Tianzhu Sword pierced towards the statue’s eyes. In that moment, Ye Qing saw a hint of mockery in the Werewolf Statue’s eyes, as if it were ridiculing him. This astonished Ye Qing even more, but also fueled his anger, making him thrust the sword harder.

The Tianzhu Sword struck the statue’s eye. Given the sword’s sharpness as a Famed Instrument, it should pierce through stone or even steel. But upon striking, Ye Qing felt resistance, and the sword couldn’t penetrate the statue’s eyes!

Ye Qing’s heart raced. This statue appeared to be made of ordinary stone. Why was it so durable? The Tianzhu Sword was among the more powerful Famed Instruments. Even without awakening its full power, it could slice through ordinary Famed Instruments. How could it not pierce this stone? Was the Werewolf Statue somehow causing this?

Looking at the Werewolf Statue, Ye Qing saw its eyes filled with cold, mocking laughter, as if it had anticipated this outcome. Shocked, Ye Qing wondered if this statue was truly alive. Could it have survived for thousands of years, as suggested by the murals?

After a brief ponder, Ye Qing picked up the Tianzhu Sword again and struck at the statue’s eye. With increased force this time, he still couldn’t pierce the eye. Just as Ye Qing was puzzled, suddenly, the three forces within him were somehow stimulated, charging into the Tianzhu Sword. Before he could react, the sword surged forward, piercing the statue’s eye.

This startled Ye Qing again. Looking at the remaining eye of the statue, he saw the mockery and disdain gone, replaced by endless fear. It seemed to see a nemesis, filled with shock and dread, its single eye fixated on Ye Qing with disbelief and terror, even pleading.

Ye Qing took a deep breath, bewildered by events. Why did his internal powers react so suddenly to these werewolf encounters?

Although he couldn’t figure out his current situation, Ye Qing knew that he now had the ability to deal with the Werewolf Statue. So he was not at all polite, ignoring the Werewolf Statue’s pleading appearance, he once again raised the Tianzhu Sword in his hand and stabbed towards the other eye of the Werewolf Statue.

This time, just like before, with the support of three forces within his body, he directly pierced through this eye as well.

Both eyes were rendered useless by Ye Qing, causing the Werewolf Statue to lose its spirit and truly become a lifeless sculpture standing there.

Ye Qing originally thought that the Werewolf Statue would have some big reaction. After waiting for a while and seeing the Werewolf Statue remain motionless, just like a real statue, he let out a small sigh of relief.

”Behaving now, aren’t you!” Ye Qing stood up on the Werewolf Statue, stepping twice on its head in the process. Without its eyes, the Werewolf Statue naturally couldn’t express anything.

Ye Qing didn’t pay it any attention either. Standing on the Werewolf Statue’s head, he then carefully looked at the glowing sphere overhead. From this position, Ye Qing finally saw clearly that the glowing sphere was not large, much like a household light bulb. However, the light inside was intense, enough to illuminate the entire cave.

After observing for a while, Ye Qing then discovered that the light wasn’t actually coming from the sphere. The sphere was just a bulb-like, hollow object. The real light emanated from inside this sphere. In other words, this sphere was merely a vessel, and the contents were the true source of the light.

With curiosity, Ye Qing reached out to test it but realized he couldn’t quite reach the sphere. The sphere was not close to the ground; even though Ye Qing had climbed to the top of the Werewolf Statue, there was still more than a meter to go. Trying to reach the sphere was somewhat difficult. Standing in this position, if he were to jump, he indeed could reach the sphere, but he certainly couldn’t land back on the Werewolf Statue again; he would definitely fall from a height of five to six meters.

If it were anyone else, trying to grab the sphere would be nearly impossible. However, Ye Qing was different. The three forces within his body, although not usually under his control, could always protect his body. Even if he fell from a height of five to six meters, he would not suffer any injury. Thus, Ye Qing did not hesitate, directly jumping up, reaching out, and grabbing the sphere before heavily landing on the ground.

As the sphere landed in his hand, Ye Qing for some reason felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. The power of the Buddha’s Relic within him suddenly became agitated at that moment. This left Ye Qing quite astonished. How could this sphere stir up the power of the Buddha’s Relic within him?

Getting up from the ground, Ye Qing hurriedly picked up the sphere to take a closer look at its specifics. However, just as he got up, the sphere in his hand suddenly shattered, like a light bulb crashing to the ground. From the sphere, a golden glowing round object fell out, landing perfectly in Ye Qing’s hand.

Upon glancing at this golden glowing round object, Ye Qing’s expression immediately changed. What was this golden glowing round object? This was a Buddha’s Relic!

Ye Qing had already obtained two Buddha’s Relics, so he could recognize them at a glance. What landed in his hand was indeed a Buddha’s Relic, one exactly like the two he had previously acquired!

At this moment, Ye Qing finally understood why the power of the Buddha’s Relic within him had suddenly become agitated. It was the result of sensing this Buddha’s Relic. No wonder it always emitted golden light; the brilliance of the Buddha’s Relic was golden!

But why was there a Buddha’s Relic inside this sphere? And why had this Buddha’s Relic been hovering over the Werewolf Statue’s head all this time?

Although he obtained the sphere, Ye Qing not only failed to solve the doubt in his heart, but his confusion grew even deeper. Yet, just as he was puzzled, a soft sound suddenly came from behind him. When Ye Qing turned around to look, his expression immediately changed.

The Werewolf Statue, initially behind him, had actually begun to move slowly at this moment. Its eyes were wasted, and its expression looked extremely angry and ferocious. It was extending its claws towards Ye Qing as if wanting to tear him apart!
