Urban Martial Saint

Hearing Wanyan Ming’s words, the faces of Wanyan Second Master and the others all showed a hint of embarrassment. After all, they were all long-renowned experts, how could anyone bear being scolded by a junior like this?

However, anger aside, they didn’t dare to genuinely get angry with Wanyan Ming; after all, behind Wanyan Ming stood Wanyan Hongfeng. Offending Wanyan Ming would be unacceptable to anyone given Wanyan Hongfeng’s wrath.

Wanyan Second Master took a deep breath, suppressed the resentment in his heart, glanced at the others, and said in a deep voice, ”Chase!”

Wanyan Second Master and his group pursued closely, while on the other side, Wanyan Ming led his men around the mountain from the foothills, heading towards the direction where Ye Qing had jumped, ready to intercept Ye Qing there.

At this moment, Ye Qing was tumbling down along the stone wall. Just like Wanyan Second Master and his group had predicted, after jumping onto the stone wall, Ye Qing lost his balance and rolled straight down the stone wall. However, one difference was that Ye Qing was invulnerable to blades and bullets, so these stones couldn’t harm him at all. Thus, Ye Qing had calculated this jump down the stone wall, posing no actual life-threatening danger.

Rolling along the stone wall for a while, Ye Qing’s speed got faster and faster. Yet, there wasn’t even a trace of injury on his body, nor any feeling of pain, clearly indicating how powerful the Buddhist and Taoist demon force within him was.

Trying to run down the mountain, Ye Qing’s speed was certainly no match for Wanyan Second Master and the others. However, rolling down from the mountain, the situation was different. The mountain wall was incredibly steep, and the further Ye Qing went down, the faster his speed. Wanyan Second Master and his group, not having Ye Qing’s invulnerability, dared not roll down the mountain wall like him. Instead, they had to cautiously use Qinggong on the stone wall to avoid falling. If they fell, they too would roll down like Ye Qing, but their bodies couldn’t withstand such a scenario.

Therefore, under these circumstances, the distance between them and Ye Qing widened. While they still saw Ye Qing at first, by the time Ye Qing fell into the valley, they hadn’t even covered a third of the distance.

The lowest part of the stone wall was more than ten meters above the ground. When Ye Qing fell, he broke two tree trunks, which significantly reduced the falling force. Even so, the fall left Ye Qing dazed. While the Buddhist and Taoist demon’s power made him invulnerable to blades and bullets, it didn’t mean he was unharmed from a collision. After all, rolling down from the slope, the speed was terrifyingly fast, and the impact extremely potent.

Of course, being able to roll down from such heights and still stand was already a miracle. Ye Qing got up from the ground, shook his head to clear it, and immediately ran south. According to the route he had traveled last time, that side had the stone gate in front of the cave, and he must get to the stone gate as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Ye Qing was fast. Just as he saw the distant stone gate, behind him, Wanyan Second Master and his people had just jumped into the valley. They moved quickly, and once down, began to use Qinggong to pursue Ye Qing.

The valley was mostly flat, so they could exert their Qinggong to the maximum. Although Ye Qing came down earlier, the distance between Wanyan Second Master and his group and Ye Qing was quickly closing. Seeing Ye Qing getting closer, Wanyan Second Master’s face was extremely excited. If they could capture Ye Qing and bring back the Sun Shooting Bow this time, it would be a monumental achievement!

Seeing Ye Qing run beside the distant mountain wall, Wanyan Second Master also pursued closely, shouting, ”Where are you running!”

Ye Qing didn’t even look back, circled along the mountain wall, pushed aside the vines in front, and revealed a stone gate behind them. This situation surprised Wanyan Second Master, thinking that Ye Qing seemed very familiar with the surrounding environment. Why was he so eager to run toward this stone gate? Could it be that there was some secret behind this stone gate?

Before Wanyan Second Master could figure it out, Ye Qing had already started knocking on the stone gate vigorously. Not only did he knock, but he also shouted loudly: ”Fat Jiao, Fat Jiao, help!”

”What nonsense? What Jiao?” The few people who had charged alongside Wanyan Second Master were momentarily stunned, unsure of what Ye Qing was shouting about. What was Fat Jiao? Was there someone with the surname Fat?

Meanwhile, Wanyan Ming and others had bypassed the hills and pursued over. Seeing Ye Qing there, Wanyan Ming was overjoyed, pointing at Ye Qing and shouting loudly, ”Catch him! Quick, catch him for me!”

Wanyan Second Master and the others then realized the situation, with Wanyan Second Master coldly ordering, ”Capture him for me!”

Even though Wanyan Second Master gave the order, he did not make a move himself but instead instructed the three people beside him to capture Ye Qing. These three were also eager to earn merit in front of Wanyan Second Master, so they rushed out immediately, aggressively charging towards Ye Qing.

Among these three, there was one who was once a member of the World Alliance, yet now, ironically, rushed aggressively to capture Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was furiously pounding on the stone gate, but there was no response from behind it. Moreover, it felt as if the stone gate had been sealed shut, no matter how hard he pushed, it wouldn’t budge. In other words, Ye Qing was utterly unable to open the stone gate and enter. Now, he was completely cornered; facing the people behind him, he had nowhere to retreat.

”Bring him to me! Bring him here! I want to kill him with my own hands!” Wanyan Ming shouted excitedly from afar, ”No, I won’t let him die so easily; I want to torture him well, I want him to know what truly means a fate worse than death!”

Ye Qing hadn’t even been captured yet, and Wanyan Ming was already calculating how to deal with him.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing stood outside the stone gate, his mind racing with thoughts. He wasn’t afraid of these people, but the most crucial issue was how to prevent the Sun Shooting Bow from falling into their hands.

However, before Ye Qing could come up with a plan, three people rushed to his side. The short old man at the front was someone who had left the World Alliance. He grinned at Ye Qing and said, ”Alliance Leader Ye, my apologies for offending you!”

Though the man was apologizing, his actions were ruthless; he immediately swung a slap towards Ye Qing’s face. During his time at the World Alliance, he had wanted to occupy an Elder position, but ended up with nothing, bearing long-held resentment towards Ye Qing. This time, having seized the chance, he naturally wanted to humiliate Ye Qing publicly to vent his inner anger.

Of course, he had another motive for doing so. He could see Wanyan Ming’s resentment towards Ye Qing and understood Wanyan Ming’s status within the Wanyan Family. Although he had allied himself with the Wanyan Family, he was just an ordinary Peak Master, not attracting much attention there. If he wanted to establish himself within the Wanyan Family, he had to get support from their key figures. Wanyan Ming was his target; by disgracing Ye Qing, he hoped to win Wanyan Ming’s favor and align himself with him. After all, Wanyan Ming was the Young Master of the Wanyan Family, with limitless prospects!

Facing the elder’s slap, Ye Qing immediately retreated a step to dodge. However, his speed couldn’t match that of the elder; as he retreated, the elder advanced a step, continuing his slap towards Ye Qing’s face, which he couldn’t evade.

Just as the slap was about to land, unexpectedly, the stone gate behind Ye Qing creaked open. Since Ye Qing was leaning against the stone gate, losing support caused him to involuntarily step back. Consequently, he narrowly dodged the elder’s slap.

The elder’s slap met only air, leaving him somewhat embarrassed. The world knew Ye Qing’s martial arts had been crippled, yet here was a Peak Master who couldn’t even land a slap on him; this spread around, how would he save face?

”You dare to dodge!” the elder shouted angrily, advancing a few more steps to deliver another slap. This time, he intensified the force, intending not only to slap Ye Qing but also to injure him.

The elder was indeed reckless; focused solely on humiliating Ye Qing to please Wanyan Ming, he didn’t notice the stone gate suddenly opening behind Ye Qing, nor did he pay attention to what lay inside.

At that moment, a bulky head protruded from behind the stone gate—it was none other than Fat Jiao’s head. Fat Jiao was curiously peering outside, incidentally blocking Ye Qing’s front. Thus, the elder’s slap, meant for Ye Qing, landed squarely on Fat Jiao’s head...

Fat Jiao wasn’t large, yet its head was sizeable. The slap’s force was entirely absorbed by Fat Jiao’s head, not reaching further, allowing Ye Qing to evade the strike once again.

However, Fat Jiao paused for a moment, turned its head to look at the elder, its face showing a puzzled expression. This little creature’s expressions were ever vivid; especially after being slapped, its face was full of confusion, more innocent than words could express.

The elder was dumbfounded; he hadn’t expected not to land any of his slaps on Ye Qing. Moreover, this slap hit some... what creature was this?

The scene fell silent for an instant; everyone stared in astonishment at Fat Jiao, as none had seen such a thing before.

Fat Jiao was equally stunned, clearly not yet recovered from the slap. This was understandable, for what was Fat Jiao’s role here? It was a presence personally suppressed by Ancestor Chen Tuan in the past, a being beyond the pinnacle from years ago. More than anything, at Mount Wendao and its surroundings, it was an absolute ruler; when had it ever been slapped? Especially on the face, this indignity was unbearable; nor could the swarm of snakes at Mount Wendao swallow such an insult!

As everyone reeled in shock, a giant snake suddenly charged out from the cave, lunging fiercely at the elder!
