Urban Martial Saint

Fu Qingping is among the strongest of the Peak Masters, and now he’s about to step into the realm beyond peerless master. His understanding of the Peak Masters is something Ye Qing couldn’t match. If he suggests a method, it’s bound to be useful.

Upon hearing Fu Qingping’s method, Ye Qing was overjoyed and quickly turned the Seventh Elder over, uncovering his clothing to locate his Qihai Acupoint. However, as he was about to act, Ye Qing hesitated, looking at Fu Qingping, and said, ”Master ancestor, I have no Inner Strength, and Wen’er’s Inner Strength is too weak. How can I seal a Peak Master’s Qihai Acupoint?”

Fu Qingping had also overlooked this matter. Upon hearing Ye Qing’s words, he realized it just that moment. Yes, sealing someone’s acupoint requires Inner Strength to perform. Moreover, to seal someone’s Inner Strength, your Inner Strength must not be much weaker than theirs. This Seventh Elder is a Peak Master, not to mention Wen’er, even top-level masters like Wan Yan Zong Bei Wuchan couldn’t possibly seal his acupoints. Therefore, how to seal the Seventh Elder’s Qihai Acupoint becomes a huge problem.

Thinking for a while, Fu Qingping seemed to have an idea, looking at Ye Qing and asked, ”Ye Qing, why are you trying to save this person?”

”The Great Elder is already dead, only this ninja is still alive. I want to save Ziyu, at least I need to keep one survivor!” Ye Qing answered truthfully, not knowing why Fu Qingping was asking this.

”I see!” Fu Qingping nodded, looking at the Seventh Elder, saying, ”In that case, even if this person’s martial arts are abolished, it shouldn’t be an issue, right?”

”Hm?” Ye Qing was slightly surprised, not understanding what Fu Qingping meant but still nodded, saying, ”If we can abolish his martial arts, that would be even better. This person is, after all, a ninja from Japan with a wolf’s ambition. Abolishing his martial arts would also weaken the power of Japan’s ninjas!”

”That’s good then!” Fu Qingping breathed a sigh of relief, saying, ”In that case, there’s an even simpler method. You don’t need to seal his Qihai Acupoint, and you don’t even need to penetrate his Pipa Bone!”

”Oh?” Ye Qing couldn’t help but be pleased and asked, ”Then how do we do it?”

”It’s simple, just ruin his Qihai Acupoint!” replied Fu Qingping.

”Ruin his Qihai Acupoint?” Ye Qing’s heart stirred. This is indeed a good method, but how to implement it?

Actually, Ye Qing had studied the Acupoint Seeking Technique extensively before, researching the meridians and acupoints of the human body. Naturally, he understood the importance of the Qihai Acupoint. The Qihai Acupoint is actually a place for storing Inner Strength, where the Inner Strength cultivated by a martial artist accumulates. Therefore, sealing the Qihai Acupoint is equivalent to sealing the martial artist’s Inner Strength. And ruining the Qihai Acupoint is equivalent to abolishing the martial artist’s Inner Strength, which naturally means abolishing the Seventh Elder’s martial arts.

However, how to ruin the Qihai Acupoint is quite troubling. Ye Qing knew methods before, like using powerful Inner Strength to directly shatter a person’s Qihai Acupoint, which equals ruining the Qihai Acupoint. But in their current situation, they can’t even seal the Seventh Elder’s Qihai Acupoint, let alone break his Qihai Acupoint.

Seeing Ye Qing still appeared a bit puzzled, Fu Qingping knew what he was thinking, so he pointed at the Tianzhu Sword in Ye Qing’s hand and said, ”There are two methods to ruin the Qihai Acupoint. One is using Inner Strength to smash it, and the other is much simpler, just use external force to destroy his Qihai Acupoint. It’s actually very simple, you just need to pierce the location of his Qihai Acupoint with this Tianzhu Sword, and his Qihai Acupoint will be ruined!”

”So simple?” Ye Qing was astonished. He previously knew only about using Inner Strength to smash, and didn’t know that using a weapon to pierce the Qihai Acupoint could also abolish someone’s martial arts.

”It seems simple but isn’t necessarily so.” Fu Qingping said, ”The Qihai Acupoint is one of the body’s major acupoints. Although not a fatal acupoint, it is one of the most important acupoints in the body. Using Inner Strength to smash the Qihai Acupoint can abolish a person’s martial arts. However, using external force to pierce it carries some risk. You see, the Qihai Acupoint is actually where several major blood vessels accumulate in the body. Using external force to pierce the Qihai Acupoint, you might accidentally puncture a blood vessel. If a blood vessel is punctured, you know what the result would be, right?”

Ye Qing’s heart skipped a beat; he finally understood why there’s no record of this method in the Acupoint Seeking Technique. Actually, using external force to pierce the Qihai Acupoint is possible, but the key issue is that while doing so, it would definitely injure a person’s blood vessels, which is fatal. If a blood vessel is punctured, it’s not just about abolishing someone’s martial arts; it could be deadly. So, using external force to pierce the Qihai Acupoint is akin to killing someone rather than simply abolishing their martial arts, hence why it’s not recorded in the Acupoint Seeking Technique.

However, Ye Qing also knew why Fu Qingping suggested this method to him, because this method would work for Ye Qing. Ye Qing possesses the Devouring Demon Flower, which can heal wounds and save lives quickly. Thus, even if Ye Qing pierces the Seventh Elder’s Qihai Acupoint and injures his blood vessel, as long as he eats a piece of the Devouring Demon Flower, his blood vessel wound can be quickly repaired, saving his life. Therefore, Ye Qing can use this method to not only ruin the Seventh Elder’s martial arts but also save his life.

Understanding Fu Qingping’s intention, Ye Qing didn’t hesitate, stuffed the Devouring Demon Flower into the Seventh Elder’s mouth, and then directly drew the Tianzhu Sword, aiming at the Seventh Elder’s Qihai Acupoint and stabbed downward. As expected, as Ye Qing anticipated, a gush of blood spurted out; it was because the blood vessel was punctured. But the Seventh Elder had already lost a lot of blood, so although the blood vessel was pierced this time, the blood that flowed out wasn’t too much. But for him now, even a little blood is considerable, considering he has lost quite a bit already.

Ye Qing didn’t pull out the Tianzhu Sword, directly pried open the Seventh Elder’s mouth, and completely shoved the Devouring Demon Flower into his mouth. The Seventh Elder wasn’t dead yet, so the Devouring Demon Flower melted once inside, directly entering his body. Seeing the Devouring Demon Flower was completely swallowed, Ye Qing then withdrew the Tianzhu Sword, and blood slowly trickled from the wound. However, this situation didn’t last long, as his wound unexpectedly began to heal gradually, which was the effect of the Devouring Demon Flower.

Watching the Seventh Elder’s wound gradually heal and his complexion neaten slightly, Ye Qing also breathed a sigh of relief. The Seventh Elder’s life was finally preserved, and his Qihai Acupoint was also ruined; now Ye Qing could fully control him, forcing him to help rescue Huangfu Ziyu.

Old Chen stood by and watched Ye Qing’s actions intensely. Until the Seventh Elder’s breathing gradually steadied, he excitedly said, ”Wow, there really wasn’t any issue. Hey, kid, what did you feed him? He was so badly injured, yet suddenly got better!”

Fu Qingping and Wen’er were also watching the Seventh Elder intently. Upon hearing Old Chen’s words, they remembered there was another person here. Both of them looked toward Old Chen, Wen’er pursed her lips slightly and asked, ”Ye, who is this person?”

”I don’t know either. When I just entered the other cave, he was already there!” Ye Qing replied.

Fu Qingping and Wen’er’s expressions immediately turned vigilant. Although Ye Qing didn’t say much, they could more or less guess the situation. After all, in the entire process, they were in the middle cave, watching everything unfold. Throughout the process, they didn’t see this Old Chen, which means before they entered the cave, Old Chen was in the other cave. So Old Chen’s background becomes something to be speculated about!

Of course, a reassuring point is that Old Chen should not be associated with the Church or Japan’s ninjas. After all, they watched the Church and Japan’s ninjas entering, and Old Chen was not among them. Nevertheless, Old Chen’s origins made Fu Qingping, Wen’er, and Ye Qing equally curious and wary of Old Chen.

”Hello everyone, my surname is Chen, you can just call me Old Chen.” Old Chen didn’t seem to realize his current standing among others and face-savingly greeted Fu Qingping and Wen’er, saying, ”I’m a Tomb Raider Captain. A while back, when grave robbing here, I accidentally stumbled into this cave. I’m a good person!”

Upon hearing Old Chen’s last sentence, Wen’er couldn’t help but scoff, saying, ”Huh, I’ve never seen a bad guy claim they’re a bad person!”

Ye Qing initially wanted to remind Wen’er and Fu Qingping, not to talk to Old Chen, as Old Chen was extremely loquacious. Once he started talking, he couldn’t stop. However, before he could warn them, Wen’er had already spoken, making Ye Qing worry about how much Old Chen would ramble in response.

However, the situation was entirely beyond Ye Qing’s expectations. Old Chen stared at Wen’er for a moment; his eyes lit up noticeably, excitedly saying, ”Oh, didn’t notice earlier, you’re a beauty! Hey, though your hair is a bit short, if it were long and flowing, you’d absolutely be a breathtaking stunner!”

Girls like being praised for being beautiful, but it depends on who does the praising. Old Chen, for instance, with a lecherous expression akin to Old Wang Ba, wearing a long robe in ancient costume style with the bottom split, exposed bare thick legs with noticeable leg hair. This look was comparable to Old Wang Ba’s level. On top of that, his apparel, if placed on the street with the hem open, would portray a suspicious exhibitionist appearance. Being praised by someone like that couldn’t possibly lift one’s spirits, and indeed, one might feel ashamed being complimented by such an individual.
