Urban Martial Saint

The Bloody Monk was still clutching the rope, pulling it upwards with all his might. However, the Panlong Valley was incredibly deep, there was quite a distance to cover upwards. Moreover, there were over ten people hanging on the rope that he intended to pull up all at once, like cutting through the entanglement with a quick knife.

But now, the unfolding situation had caught him off guard. The people below were yet to be pulled up, and he already found himself without anyone to protect him. At this juncture, he truly found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place.

If he let go, those people hanging below would definitely fall to their deaths in the valley. If he didn’t let go, then the people from the Wanyan Family would come over and kill him. How to choose, it was indeed a troublesome issue!

In fact, with the current situation, even if he didn’t let go, he couldn’t save the people below. But the problem was, those people on the rope were all his subordinates and friends; how could he possibly let go?

Seeing the Bloody Monk’s frowning face unable to answer, Wanyan Hongsheng laughed more arrogantly, shouted, ”Blood Robe Sect Leader, this decision is tough, right? Hahaha, no worries, I’ll help you make the decision.”

Wanyan Hongsheng pulled out a small dagger from his body, laughed, ”I’ve heard the Sect Leader of the Blood Robe Sect has made some achievements with the Vajra Indestructible Body. I wonder if your Vajra Indestructible Body is more formidable, or my dagger is more formidable? Well, let’s try, I’ll slowly play with you. If you feel the pain, you might as well let go, how about it?”

Wanyan Hongsheng walked slowly toward the Bloody Monk with the dagger, while the Bloody Monk frowned even deeper. Although he had already begun charging into the realm beyond the pinnacle, he was still only a peak master, not reaching the beyond pinnacle’s robust body. He could withstand some assaults from others, but it didn’t mean he could truly be invulnerable like Shijia. Moreover, Wanyan Hongsheng’s power wasn’t weak either; a slash after another, his Vajra Indestructible Body couldn’t sustain it. But let go? How could that be?

Watching Wanyan Hongsheng slowly coming toward him, the Bloody Monk’s face turned extremely grim. Could it really be that this time he would die here? He felt truly unwilling in his heart!

Just as Wanyan Hongsheng was about to reach the Bloody Monk’s side, suddenly, a commotion was heard from the bottom of the mountain. Wanyan Hongsheng was startled, immediately turned his head to look, and shouted, ”What’s the noise?”

The moment he finished speaking, Wanyan Hongsheng’s face immediately changed. Because, who knew when a skeleton had flown out from the smashed coffin below the mountain. That skeleton seemed like a human body, just without a head, floating in the air, giving a spooky feeling.

Wanyan Hongsheng knew this skeleton was actually a part of the Divine Clan’s corpse. The Divine Clan’s corpse was divided into three parts: the head was placed in one coffin, the wings in another, and the remaining part in another coffin. According to the ancestral records, once the Divine Clan’s corpse power was unleashed, the corpse would instantly turn into dust. But what was going on with this corpse? Why hadn’t this body part been destroyed? Furthermore, how could it fly? What was this situation all about?

At this moment, two sounds suddenly came from behind him. Wanyan Hongsheng turned around to see just in time a head flying toward him. He was shocked, quickly bent over to avoid it. Luckily, the head didn’t attack him but flew past him directly to the corpse down below and attached to the skeleton. Then, two pairs of wings flew down and also attached to the skeleton, turning it into a complete Divine Clan corpse.

If Ye Qing were here to see, he would undoubtedly recognize that the skeleton of the Divine Clan corpse was somewhat similar to the Divine Clan statues he saw in the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. Except, those statues had six pairs of wings, while this skeleton only had two pairs!

Even so, the power of this skeleton was incredibly astonishing. Floating in the air, a strong suction immediately emanated from the skeleton, pulling the bodies on the ground around it, all attaching to the skeleton. Moreover, those corpses quickly became dried up visibly, as if the skeleton sucked away all their essence. Finally, only dried corpses fell down.

Those deceased were relatively weak, so they were directly sucked over by the skeleton. And there were some injured peak masters around, who were also caught by that suction power. All these peak masters were desperately grabbing onto whatever they could, managing not to be sucked over by the skeleton. But it was clear these peak masters were also about to be unable to hold on because the suction from the skeleton was intensifying!

”What is this? What... what is going on?” Wanyan Hongsheng stared in disbelief at the skeleton floating in the air, his face full of shock. According to the records from the family booklet, once the power of these Divine Clan corpses was fully unleashed, they would instantly turn into dust. But now what’s happening? Why did the skeleton release its power and then combine together again and start absorbing other people’s power?

Wanyan Hongsheng was standing quite far away, so he hadn’t yet realized how strong that suction was. But he knew that with his current strength, he was definitely not a match for this skeleton. Or perhaps he didn’t dare to become an enemy of the skeleton because he didn’t even know what the skeleton was.

”Ah!” With a scream, finally, a peak master couldn’t hold on and was sucked over by the skeleton. Everyone clearly saw that the skin of that peak master quickly aged and wrinkled visibly, rapidly becoming dry, the whole person like a desiccated corpse, then fell down.

This situation terrified everyone, what exactly was this skeleton? How could it be like a vampire, drawing all the blood from people?

”Ah!” Another scream, another peak master was sucked over. Immediately followed by another peak master screaming as being sucked away; these peak masters had been seriously wounded by the coffin’s exploding power earlier, now even escaping was impossible, just waiting here to die.

Among the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, two of the elders were also considerably injured. One held on bitterly but finally couldn’t sustain and flew out screaming. At this moment, Helian Tiehua suddenly stepped out, grabbed his leg, preventing him from being sucked away by the skeleton.

The situation shocked everyone around, if Helian Tiehua had been one step slower, this person might be endangered as well. The skeleton’s power was too immense for them to resist at all. Now it seemed, only Helian Tiehua could temporarily hold on. But even Helian Tiehua probably wouldn’t last much longer!

As the cries continued, several people who had allied with the Wanyan Family were almost all sucked away by that skeleton. The other elder who came with Helian Tiehua was also sucked out, but was caught by Helian Tiehua. However, Helian Tiehua was now very strained holding onto these two elders.

”Great General, don’t mind us, you go first!” An elder shouted out loud.

”Yes, we’re both old now, even if we die it’s nothing. You’re the key of Hong Alliance’s Seven Steering Committees, you mustn’t die here!” The other elder also shouted, both loyal to the Seven Steering Committees, willing to die rather than burden Helian Tiehua.

Helian Tiehua gritted his teeth, remained silent, yet showed no intention of letting go, firmly gripping onto these two, without retreating a bit.

On the mountain, Wanyan Hongsheng was utterly stunned watching. At this moment, he finally understood why the family records strictly prohibited descendants from using the Divine Clan corpse; all these events explain it. The Divine Clan corpse not only harmed others but crucially injured its own people; this was the most dangerous aspect. Although it killed a Purple Robe Lama, he had already lost six peak masters on his side, their losses were more significant!

Seeing the skeleton constantly siphoning those around into desiccated corpses, Wanyan Hongsheng swallowed, abruptly turned to the Bloody Monk, gritted his teeth, and said, ”Killing you would be considered a great achievement.”

Wanyan Hongsheng knew he had caused a huge trouble this time, so at this point he still wanted to achieve, planned to kill the Bloody Monk and then escape. He swiftly rushed towards the Bloody Monk, while the Bloody Monk was deeply anxious because he was holding onto the rope with both hands, totally defenseless.

At this critical juncture, suddenly, a male voice came from the mountain top: ”Ye Zi, where are you?”

The voice was loud, echoing in the valley, everyone heard crystal clear. Everyone turned towards the source of the voice and saw a man in his thirties striding over. Although the man wasn’t too old, his speed wasn’t slow, evidently a master.

”Lin Tianyou?” Seeing the newcomer, the Bloody Monk couldn’t help but exclaim. He had seen Lin Tianyou back in Shenchuan City before and knew about his death on Medicine King Mountain, but didn’t know Lin Tianyou had become the heir of Divine Doctor An Shiping. Seeing Lin Tianyou now, naturally, he was extremely surprised.

Lin Tianyou also saw the Bloody Monk, then quickly rushed down and said, ”Master, have you seen Ye Zi?”

”He’s hanging down here on the rope...” The Bloody Monk didn’t get a chance to say much, hurriedly said, ”Quick, stop Wanyan Hongsheng, I’ll pull Ye Qing and them up!”

Wanyan Hongsheng didn’t recognize Lin Tianyou, but seeing how Lin Tianyou charged down, he knew Lin Tianyou’s strength certainly wasn’t weak. He shouted angrily, accelerated his pace towards the Bloody Monk, hoping to kill the Bloody Monk soon.
