Urban Martial Saint

Facing Bai Yonghui, the Bloody Monk showed no fear on his face and said coldly, ”What, do you also want to fight me?”

To be honest, upon seeing Zhou Haoyang being so cleanly and swiftly injured by the Bloody Monk just now, Bai Yonghui really didn’t want to fight him. However, in this situation, he was also on the spot with no way out. If he just watched Zhou Haoyang die in front of him like this, he would have no way to explain to the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance in the future.

”Elder Zhou is a member of our Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance, and if the Bloody Robe Sect Leader wants to kill him here, I’m afraid you have to ask if our Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance would agree first!” As Bai Yonghui said this, his eyes slowly drifted towards Wu Tianyong who was standing in the distance.

Bai Yonghui was no fool. He knew that if he fought the Bloody Monk one-on-one, the result would likely be the same as Zhou Haoyang’s, and he was bound to suffer losses. Therefore, he shifted the topic to include the entire Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance, hinting to the Bloody Monk that if you insist on killing Zhou Haoyang, you are opposing the entire Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance. On the other hand, he was also telling Wu Tianyong that you are also a member of the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance. In this situation, you cannot just stand by and watch.

Wu Tianyong was actually ready to step in. In this situation, he certainly would not watch Zhou Haoyang die before his eyes. Although he also despised Zhou Haoyang for bullying Huangfu Zilong, despite his disdain, they were all members of the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance after all.

Thus, when Bai Yonghui said these words, he also slowly walked out from behind, standing behind Bai Yonghui. Although he didn’t say anything, the meaning was very clear; he was going to fight side by side with Bai Yonghui, not letting the Bloody Monk kill Zhou Haoyang!

Seeing Wu Tianyong come over, Bai Yonghui couldn’t help but exhale a sigh of relief. If he had to face the Bloody Monk alone, he wouldn’t have the courage. But now, with Wu Tianyong here, the situation was different. At least with the two of them joining forces, they were certainly not going to lose to the Bloody Monk.

”Sect Leader, I advise you, don’t go too far in doing anything!” With confidence in his heart, Bai Yonghui leisurely looked at the Bloody Monk and said, ”Although Elder Zhou lost to you this time, the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance are full of experts. No matter how strong you are, what can you do?”

By this, Bai Yonghui was implicitly telling the Bloody Monk that if you still want to fight, don’t blame us if the experts from the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance join forces to deal with you.

However, even if these words could scare others, unfortunately, he didn’t understand the Bloody Monk’s nature. Although the Bloody Monk had become less bloodthirsty over the years due to cultivating the Tranquil Heart Bodhi, he was still the Bloody Monk, how could he be intimidated by a few words? When the Corpse Ghost Dragon attacked Shenchuan City before, the Bloody Monk dared to confront him head-on, let alone these people from the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance!

”Hmph, what can a sea of experts do? If I, the Bloody Monk, want to kill, who in the world can stop me!” The Bloody Monk let out a cold snort, pointed at Bai Yonghui, and said in a heavy voice, ”If you don’t step aside, I’ll kill you along with him today!”

Upon hearing these words from the Bloody Monk, the Sword Saint Sect’s Young Master’s lips immediately curled with disdain. In his view, although the Bloody Monk’s strength wasn’t weak, with members of the Sword Saint Sect here, for the Bloody Monk to utter such words clearly meant that he didn’t take the Sword Saint Sect seriously. The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect had always been arrogant and believed that the Sword Saint Sect was truly Invincible Under the Heavens. Hence, upon hearing the Bloody Monk’s words, he immediately wanted to speak out in rebuttal.

Just as he was about to speak, the servant next to him noticed the Young Master’s gesture, quickly tugged at his clothes, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: ”The Sect Leader has said that this time, try to scatter the power of the Seven Rudders and Twelve Green Halls as much as possible. The Bloody Monk’s actions are just depleting the strength of the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance; there’s no need for us to get involved!”

The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect furrowed his brow slightly, even though he really wanted to speak against the Bloody Monk. However, recalling the Sect Leader’s orders, he finally refrained from speaking. Because if he spoke up, the Sword Saint Sect would inevitably have to get involved in the subsequent events. In doing so, things wouldn’t develop in the direction they hoped for.

The other onlookers at the scene were more composed and wouldn’t have the same attitude as the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect. Moreover, when they heard Xue Yihe’s words, everyone naturally pretended not to hear them, as they all wanted the Sha Men to deplete the strength of the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance.

Bai Yonghui’s face turned cold; the Bloody Monk’s words were too domineering, speaking like this in front of so many people, essentially ignoring him. As a Peak Master, if he was frightened by a word from the Bloody Monk, how could he ever face the world again? Especially since he had Wu Tianyong backing him; with the two of them joining forces, they were confident they wouldn’t lose to the Bloody Monk, hence he felt emboldened now.

”Bloody Monk, your strength is indeed formidable. But this is the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance, not a place for you to run wild!” Bai Yonghui said sharply without taking action, and instead, looked at Wu Tianyong behind him, ”Wu, let the two of us join forces and take down this mad monk first!”

Upon hearing this, there was an immediate burst of boos from the crowd, evidently looking down on Bai Yonghui’s behavior. After all, this was a showdown between Peak Masters. The Bloody Monk had already fought Zhou Haoyang earlier, consuming a lot of strength. In such a situation, Bai Yonghui naturally had the advantage. Yet even under these circumstances, Bai Yonghui still didn’t dare to duel the Bloody Monk one-on-one, so naturally, people looked down on him.

Bai Yonghui knew the outcome would be like this, but he truly didn’t dare to fight the Bloody Monk one-on-one. Therefore, he’d rather lose face here and drag Wu Tianyong down with him; otherwise, he would end up like Zhou Haoyang, not only losing face but also get seriously injured.

Although Wu Tianyong didn’t speak, he indeed slowly moved to stand in front of Bai Yonghui. His thoughts aligned with Bai Yonghui’s; now wasn’t the time for pride. If they couldn’t stop the Bloody Monk, Zhou Haoyang was doomed.

Seeing two Peak Masters from the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance stepping up against the Bloody Monk, the members of Sha Men couldn’t stand it. The Seven Hidden of Sha Men wanted to step out, but the Wolf Monk, who had remained silent, leapt out first.

”Is the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance planning to bully with numbers?” the Wolf Monk sneered and said, ”Hmph, do you really think Xiaolin Temple has no one?”

Although the Wolf Monk’s strength was not as good as the Bloody Monk’s, he wasn’t much weaker. Neither Bai Yonghui nor Wu Tianyong had a chance against him individually. Thus, it was two Peak Masters from the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance versus two Peak Masters on the Bloody Monk’s side. If a fight broke out, the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance would undoubtedly suffer a big loss. Whether they could save Zhou Haoyang was no longer important; the key was that even Bai Yonghui and Wu Tianyong were likely to be inescapably injured.

Facing the Wolf Monk and the Bloody Monk, Bai Yonghui was filled with regret and bitterness. At this moment, he truly despised Zhou Haoyang for attracting such a crowd. Not only was the Bloody Monk ruthless, but now a Wolf Monk had emerged. The most crucial part was that this dragged Xiaolin Temple into the mix, making the situation even more complicated.

Although Xiaolin Temple was destroyed, everyone knew that Xiaolin Temple still had the peerless master Shijia. Moreover, Xiaolin Temple was the foundation of the Buddhist Sect in Huaxia, possessing numerous Secret Techniques. Though it was destroyed, the strength of Xiaolin Temple could not be underestimated. If this incident escalated into a showdown between the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance and Xiaolin Temple, it would indeed become a major affair.

Standing at a distance, Helian Tiehua was blocked by white-haired Ding San and couldn’t come over to stop the battle. Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, he was extremely frustrated. Originally, upon returning this time, he thought that Sha Men would be the greatest support for the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance. Who would have thought that upon entering the Seven Rudders’ estate, they would first start a fight with the greatest allies? Moreover, if the fight continued, it might end in mutual destruction, making the situation completely unmanageable.

Helian Tiehua wanted to stop the battle, but he knew that the Bloody Monk’s nature was beyond his control. Watching the tense confrontation about to erupt between the Bloody Monk and Bai Yonghui and the others, a thought suddenly struck him. While he might not be able to stop the Bloody Monk, there was still Ye Qing on the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance’s side. The Bloody Monk owed Ye Qing a significant favor; if Ye Qing spoke up to stop it, perhaps the battle could be halted.

With that thought, Helian Tiehua had no time to consider further, dodging white-haired Ding San’s attacks, while signaling to Chen San in the distance to quickly call Ye Qing down.

Chen San, a disciple of Helian Tiehua, immediately understood his intentions upon seeing Helian’s signals. Without delay, he hurried over to the main building to find Ye Qing.

Meanwhile, the standoff between the four didn’t last long before the Bloody Monk stepped forward boldly toward Bai Yonghui.

”You want to save him, then let me see how much skill you have!” the Bloody Monk said coldly. ”If you don’t have the ability, today I’ll kill you too!”

The Bloody Monk was always forceful and domineering in his actions, and it was the same when fighting others. Generally, when he fought with someone, he aimed to kill; otherwise, he wouldn’t be called the Bloody Monk. So those who fought him felt a bit flustered by his imposing presence even before the fight began.

Bai Yonghui felt this panic; originally, with the Wolf Monk joining, losing Wu Tianyong’s assistance, he knew he was no match for the Bloody Monk. Already in a flustered state, seeing the Bloody Monk so forcefully rushing towards him now, he was even more terrified. Retreating wasn’t an option at this point; he could only grit his teeth and charge forward to confront the Bloody Monk.
