Urban Martial Saint

Everyone exchanged glances; they all knew Ye Qing was speaking the truth. Ye Qing had thwarted many plans of the Wan Yan family, and indeed, several key members of the Wan Yan family had died because of Ye Qing. The Wan Yan family harbored intense hatred for Ye Qing. If they got hold of Ye Qing, they certainly wouldn’t let him go, and there was absolutely no possibility of Ye Qing collaborating with the Wan Yan family.

However, the crux of the problem now was: even if Ye Qing wanted to break out, he had to be able to do so. With the situation as it was, surrounded by so many Long-toothed Rats, even Bloody Monk, a master like him, couldn’t possibly break out. Ye Qing seeking to break out would be tantamount to courting death!

At this moment, Bloody Monk suddenly said in a deep voice, ”I’ll break out with you!”

As soon as Bloody Monk finished speaking, Shen Tianjun immediately said, ”Me too!”

Liu Mubai didn’t speak but reached out to pat Ye Qing on the shoulder. He was Ye Qing’s brother, so naturally, he couldn’t stand by and watch Ye Qing go to his death alone.

”Damn it, if we’re going to die, we’ll die together!” Wu Xiuming also gritted his teeth and said solemnly, ”Anyway, my Wu Family’s people have already escaped. Alliance Leader Ye, the position the Wu Family holds today is entirely thanks to you. If I betray you now, can I still be considered a man?”

Everyone’s words moved Ye Qing deeply. He took a deep breath and whispered, ”I understand your intentions, but breaking out with me means you’re definitely not going to come out alive. What I mean is for you to pretend to cooperate with the Wan Yan family to get out of this immediate situation. Once out of this crisis, you can leave the Wan Yan family and not cooperate with them anymore. That way, losses can be minimized. Staying with me will obviously result in higher casualties, so we should try to keep losses to a minimum!”

”But there’s no way you can break out alone either!” Wu Xiuming looked at the people nearby and said, ”How about this, you pretend to cooperate with the Wan Yan family and escape from that side. I’ll assist Alliance Leader Ye in breaking out from here!”

”Nonsense, how can you assist him?” Liu Mubai said directly, ”The power of these Long-toothed Rats is too strong, and you’re not a body cultivation master. If you really get caught by the Long-toothed Rats, you’d be in danger. It’s better for me to help Ye Zi break out since I focus mainly on body cultivation and can hold on a bit longer in the encirclement of these Long-toothed Rats!”

”No need to say more, I can take care of this!” Bloody Monk glanced at Liu Mubai. He didn’t need to say anything; Liu Mubai understood Bloody Monk’s intentions. Speaking of body cultivation, Bloody Monk’s Vajra Indestructible Body is more powerful than Liu Mubai’s Heavenly Demon Eternal Body. After all, Liu Mubai trains in the Heavenly Demon Eternal Body, which evolved from the Indestructible Demon Body and is not the complete Indestructible Demon Body. Only the Indestructible Demon Body is equal to the Vajra Indestructible Body, and naturally, the Heavenly Demon Eternal Body is slightly inferior to the Vajra Indestructible Body.

”This isn’t a matter of body cultivation; the most crucial point is that you can gain the trust of the Wan Yan family if you collaborate with them. But if I collaborate with the Wan Yan family, they definitely won’t trust me!” Shen Tianjun said, ”I’ve had quite a few grievances with the Wan Yan family before; they absolutely won’t let me off. Collaborating with them would likely lead to a fate similar to Ye Qing’s. It’d be better for me to stay here and help Ye Qing break out!”

For a moment, several people started arguing, each wanting to stay behind and help Ye Qing break out. Frankly, they didn’t want to see Ye Qing left alone here to perish, so they wished to lend a hand. But the crux of the problem is, surrounded by so many Long-toothed Rats, whoever stays behind to help Ye Qing is also in a situation of inevitable death. Breaking out is practically impossible!

At this moment, Wanyan Second Master on the other side had already gathered his senses and shouted loudly, ”You’re down to just a few people. I’ll ask you once more, are you willing to collaborate with my Wan Yan family? If you persist in being obstinate, don’t blame me for being ruthless. You are all prestigious figures; if you end up as rat manure in these Long-toothed Rats’ stomachs, how do you suppose you’ll feel inside?”

On the side of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance and Twelve Green Halls, few remained, mainly the Supreme Elders. In fact, among the Supreme Elders, there were a few who had defected to the Wan Yan family. Faced with absolute strength, they really had no choice.

The remaining people exchanged glances with Ye Qing. At this time, would they truly meet such a fate? If so many Long-toothed Rats rush forward together, who among those present could miraculously break out alive?

Seeing as the crowd didn’t respond, Wanyan Second Master’s face turned cold. He raised his hand and prepared to command the Long-toothed Rats to attack. Just at this moment, a furious dragon’s roar suddenly resounded from the air in the distance. Everyone looked up and saw that a black dragon had appeared in the sky at some point, looking incredibly menacing. This black dragon behaved like a living creature, twisted its neck and wagged its tail, and chased downwards. Not far beneath this dragon, a white dot was plummeting rapidly.

After a moment, as the white dot drew closer, everyone finally saw clearly that the white dot was none other than the Green Reed Swordsman Fu Qingping. Fu Qingping was being pursued by the black dragon, and the situation was extremely precarious!

Seeing such a situation, the crowd below showed varied expressions. Those on the Wan Yan family’s side were naturally excited and elated, while those on Ye Qing’s side were shocked and worried. Fu Qingping was actually being chased by the black dragon, clearly already at a disadvantage. This battle, then, doesn’t need to be fought anymore.

”Hahaha…” Wanyan Second Master laughed out loud and said, ”Ye, now you see, your spiritual pillar, Fu Qingping, is about to die in battle. You don’t want to cooperate with us, do you? Fine, we don’t need you. Of course, I won’t kill you so quickly; watch how Fu Qingping dies first!”

Wanyan Second Master was extremely smug because Fu Qingping’s current situation was indeed a bit embarrassing. His body was bleeding in multiple places, and his white clothes were stained red. During the pursuit by the black dragon, he was still constantly coughing up blood, looking as if he were already at the end of his strength. No one doubted that if the black dragon caught up with Fu Qingping, Fu Qingping would undoubtedly perish!

”Master!” Ye Qing shouted anxiously, but even though the crowd below was worried, there was nothing they could do. This black dragon was evidently the transformation power of the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Just as Ye Qing had suspected, the Corpse Ghost Dragon must be holding the scabbard of the Minghong Knife, able to freely wield the Beyond Pinnacle strength without fear of heavenly retribution. But Fu Qingping couldn’t do the same; he couldn’t exert such strength, and his power was originally inferior to the Corpse Ghost Dragon. The outcome of this battle was predictable.

Ye Qing’s shout couldn’t change anything. The black dragon pursued closely, and Fu Qingping’s speed was clearly inferior to the black dragon’s. In just a moment, the black dragon overtook Fu Qingping, opened its massive jaws, and swallowed Fu Qingping whole. Everyone could clearly see Fu Qingping enveloped in black gas within the dragon’s body, as the black gas incessantly assaulted Fu Qingping.

”Hahaha…” Wanyan Second Master laughed arrogantly, pointing at Fu Qingping and saying, ”Even a peak master is only so much. Fu Qingping, you are the only person in these years to reach the Beyond Pinnacle Realm, but unfortunately, you chose the wrong enemy. If you worked for my Wan Yan family, you could have a chance among Heaven Earth Man Three Gates. But by choosing to oppose my Wan Yan family, you become nothing more than a stepping stone for us. Hahahaha…”

Wanyan Second Master laughed boastfully, and Fu Qingping’s current predicament altered the expressions of those below. Previously, people had great confidence in Fu Qingping, but who would have thought Fu Qingping would meet such a fate? Could Fu Qingping really perish completely here this time?

As the black dragon encased Fu Qingping, the black gas bombarded Fu Qingping, as if preparing to utterly destroy him. Trapped within, Fu Qingping appeared completely helpless. As the black dragon descended, the situation inside became clearer, and Wanyan Second Master grew increasingly smug.

”So, shall I ask you one more time?” Wanyan Second Master looked at the remaining few and asked, ”Cooperate or not? Just one word, don’t keep me waiting; I’m not a very patient person!”

”Old Thief Wan Yan, give up on that idea!” Wu Xiuming shouted loudly, ”Even if we die here, we will never bow to your Wan Yan family!”

Wu Xiuming’s words made Ye Qing sigh inwardly. It seemed that trying to have the people around him pretend to cooperate with the Wan Yan family was virtually impossible. These people simply wouldn’t stand by and watch him attempt a breakout alone.

”Alright!” Wanyan Second Master shouted, ”I admire the spirit and temper of you men, it’s fine, not cooperating only means death; I’ll fulfill that wish!”

As Wanyan Second Master spoke, he waved his hand and said, ”Kill them!”

The swarm of Long-toothed Rats below immediately stirred, and the remaining people here suddenly became alert, preparing to turn around and break out. Just at that moment, Fu Qingping’s loud shout resonated from the sky.

Everyone simultaneously looked up, only to see Fu Qingping, trapped inside the black dragon, slowly spreading his arms. As his arms spread, a white giant sword slowly formed in front of him. The white giant sword emerged from the black dragon’s body, starting to pry open the dragon’s body. The immense strength was making the dragon writhe in apparent pain, spinning continuously, unable to shake free.

The giant sword slowly formed, revealing Fu Qingping’s transformation power. However, inside the black dragon, this giant sword seemed suppressed, unable to fully materialize.

”Break!” Fu Qingping suddenly shouted, as if the giant sword received his command, it suddenly expanded, piercing through the black dragon, tearing it apart from the center.
