Urban Martial Saint

Witnessing that blood-colored light soaring into the sky, the Knife Saint dared not show a trace of carelessness. He gripped the long saber in his hand tightly, swiftly turning his head towards that blood-colored coffin, his aura suddenly heightened. His clothes rustled even without wind, his long sleeves billowing in the air, producing a loud whistling sound.

Seeing the Knife Saint, everyone was utterly shocked. This Supreme presence who had once entered the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Gates, at this moment finally displayed the aura a Supreme should have. With the long saber standing on the ground, his towering figure was like a wall, standing in front of everyone, his broad shoulders seeming to be able to hold up the heavens. The ground beneath his feet seemed to tremble as if unable to bear his powerful pressure. At this moment, he truly looked like a heavenly god descending, giving people an insurmountable feeling.

The members of the Sword Saint Sect were extremely stirred, looking at the Knife Saint with eyes full of reverence and shock. Those outside the Sword Saint Sect, seeing the Knife Saint’s powerful aura, were equally overwhelmed with astonishment.

”What are you dawdling for?” The Knife Saint suddenly glared at them and said, ”Leave now!”

Only then did the Sword Saint Sect’s people react, exchanging glances before swiftly looking towards the few Sect Leaders of the Sword Saint Sect.

The foremost Sword Saint Sect Master furrowed his brows tightly, looking at the Knife Saint, who stood like a deity, he gritted his teeth abruptly, waved his hand and said, ”Everyone, follow me!”

After the Sword Saint Sect Master spoke, he took the lead, running back into the Sword Saint Sect. Others were taken aback, as they didn’t know about other secret pathways within the Sword Saint Sect. They had assumed the way out was through the path exiting the valley, not expecting the Sect Master to run inside.

Of course, this astonishment lasted only for a moment. Although puzzled, everyone decided not to overthink at this time and followed the Sword Saint Sect Master, rushing into the Sword Saint Sect.

Helian Tiehua glanced at the Knife Saint, harboring some admiration for him in his heart.

”Senior Knife Saint, I will forever remember your life-saving grace!” Helian Tiehua cupped his hands towards the Knife Saint, then led his people away along with the Sword Saint Sect members.

As for the Nalan Family, there was no need to mention them as they had long run into the Sword Saint Sect. Seeing the Long-toothed Rats army and the blood-colored coffin with its overwhelming aura, they knew this battle was not something they could partake in, so they hurriedly ran off.

On the Wanyan Family side, when the blood coffin opened, Wanyan Hongfeng immediately signaled for the Wanyan Family members to retreat. Of course, he did not retreat himself, still standing beside the blood coffin, excitedly gazing inside it, his face reddened by the blood-colored light from within, even exuding a sinister aura.

Although the Sword Saint Sect members had fled, Wanyan Hongfeng did not stop them. Firstly, he couldn’t stop them; after the blood coffin opened, many matters were beyond his control. Earlier, he had the Wanyan Family members withdraw for fear that the ensuing battle would affect them. If he attempted to obstruct the Sword Saint Sect members now, the battle’s result would be uncertain!

Secondly, he wasn’t prepared to obstruct them either. In his view, the key on the Sword Saint Sect’s side was the Knife Saint. As long as the Knife Saint was dealt with, everything else wasn’t of much importance. Once the Knife Saint was resolved, incorporating the Sword Saint Sect would be a simple task. So, even if the Sword Saint Sect members fled for the moment, it wouldn’t matter; once the Knife Saint was taken care of, he could gradually handle the others in the Sword Saint Sect at his leisure.

The blood light within the blood coffin grew more intense, causing Wanyan Hongfeng’s excitement to escalate. He slowly retreated a few steps, spread his arms and declared loudly, ”Oh great god, with my blood, I command you to heed my order, now…”

Just as Wanyan Hongfeng spoke, suddenly, a light in the form of a long saber, several feet in length, slashed down fiercely, right onto the coffin. Wanyan Hongfeng didn’t even finish his sentence before the blood coffin was split into pieces.

”You...” Wanyan Hongfeng turned his head towards the Knife Saint and shouted angrily, ”You are a Grandmaster of a Generation, yet you resort to such despicable sneak attacks!”

”Who said a Grandmaster of a Generation wouldn’t launch a sneak attack?” The Knife Saint replied coldly, not waiting for Wanyan Hongfeng to retort, he immediately slashed once more.

The Knife Saint was still a distance from the blood coffin, but as the saber descended, a radiance instantly burst forth from the long saber. At the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, power can take shape. And the Knife Saint’s strength had already surpassed Unity of Heaven and Man, naturally making it even more powerful. The light rushed out and rapidly expanded to several feet, transforming into a blade spanning dozens of feet, like a giant dragon, tearing through the air and crushing towards where the blood coffin lay.

The blood coffin had already been shattered by the Knife Saint’s prior slash, and the blood inside splattered around, staining the ground all over with blood. At the spot where the blood coffin had been, lay a skeleton drenched in blood. The Knife Saint’s current strike was aimed directly at this skeletal frame.

Wanyan Hongfeng stood beside them, even though he was a master in the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm. However, truth be told, he couldn’t intervene in this battle because he understood his own situation; he couldn’t possibly withstand the Knife Saint’s all-out strike. So, seeing the brilliance of the long knife rapidly approaching, Wanyan Hongfeng quickly stepped back several paces to avoid the area, and shouted loudly: ”Knife Saint, your strength is a whole realm below the Three-Winged God. Do you think using a sneak attack, you can kill him? Hmph, today, I want you to admit defeat wholeheartedly!”

Saying this, Wanyan Hongfeng spread his hands again and shouted, ”With my blood, I command you to awaken!”

After Wanyan Hongfeng finished speaking, he placed his fingers into his mouth and bit down hard, immediately opening a wound on his fingers. Wanyan Hongfeng then swung his hand casually, and the blood spilled directly onto the white skeleton on the ground.

At this time, the Knife Saint had already unleashed his third strike, the third strike roaring over, still targeting the skeletal frame on the ground. However, just as this strike was about to hit the skeletal frame, the skeletal frame suddenly stood up. It seemed to have its own thoughts, sensing the threat of the long knife, it directly swung its three pairs of wings from behind, simultaneously blocking in front of itself, actually stopping that howling third strike.

Three strikes in vain, yet the skeletal frame had already stood up. This skeletal frame was very much like the remains of the Divine Clan Ye Qing had previously seen in Panlong Valley, the only difference being that this skeletal frame seemed noticeably larger. This skeletal frame was estimated to be over three meters tall, much taller than the Knife Saint. Three pairs of wings growing from its back were a symbol of its power. Those who knew understood well that three pairs of wings represented the Three-Winged God, an expert of a realm higher than the Knife Saint.

As the skeletal frame stood up, at the same time, at the headquarters of the Overseas Holy Court, several elders seated in the secret chamber suddenly opened their eyes. One of them abruptly turned his head to look at the others beside him and said solemnly, ”Did you feel that? A power of the Three-Winged God has erupted!”

The others also showed the same expression, and one of them spoke softly, ”Indeed, it’s the power of a Three-Winged God. Are there other Three-Winged Gods alive besides us few?”

”That’s not right, this Three-Winged God’s power feels unfamiliar!” The third person said solemnly, ”I’ve never sensed such a power before; there is no such presence among the existing Three-Winged Gods!”

”Could it be that someone from the younger generation has ascended to a Three-Winged God?” The first person asked in surprise.

”Impossible!” The third person shook his head again, ”The number of Two-Winged Gods in this world is already extremely rare, I can feel them. None of those Two-Winged Gods have ascended to a Three-Winged God.”

Everyone looked at each other puzzled, since it wasn’t a Two-Winged God ascending to a Three-Winged God, nor was it one of the existing Three-Winged Gods, where did this Three-Winged God come from? It couldn’t possibly be a single-winged God directly ascending, such a leap in strength across levels is utterly impossible!

”Regardless of who it is, it must certainly be a member of our Divine Clan!” The second person said solemnly, ”Send people to investigate, find out who it is, no matter what, we must bring him back to strengthen our power!”

”Yes, bring him back to strengthen our power!” The others nodded in agreement, and the last person immediately went out, returning a short while later accompanied by several others.

These people held extremely powerful positions within the Holy Court. However, in front of these few individuals, they behaved respectfully, not daring to show any discourtesy.

The leader spoke briefly about the situation and directly arranged for these people to go out and handle the matter. When these people left the room, the atmosphere among those inside became more lively.

”To think another Three-Winged God appears at this time, it’s truly heaven-sent for us!” The third person said excitedly, ”With this Three-Winged God, our chances against those from Huaxia are even better!”

”Hmph, dealing with those people is not really a hard feat, the most troublesome part is how to find the Lost Divine Realm!” The first person said solemnly, ”We’ve waited for so many years, we cannot fail this time. Everyone stay vigilant, even if our power is strong, we must not underestimate the enemy!”

Everyone nodded in agreement; this battle, they’ve waited too long for, they absolutely cannot lose!

At the same time, within the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master at Chatiang Peak, in the secret chamber where the Dracula statue is imprisoned. The circulating water system within the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master began to flow again, and the surviving Great Lord was catching fish in the pool, which was his sole source of survival here.

After catching several fish, the Great Lord immediately returned to the Dracula statue. During this period, of the one hundred and eight famed instruments on the Dracula statue, dozens had already left the statue. Now the Dracula statue, its head section had already transformed back to human form, revealing an extremely pale-faced man, with eyes harboring an indescribable sinister feeling.
