Urban Martial Saint

In the past, when people of the Wanyan Family used Heavenly Cluster Clouds, they would slowly let its light shine on their bodies to draw out the power contained within it. This process was relatively gentle and would not cause much damage to Heavenly Cluster Clouds, allowing it to be used for a very long time.

But this time, in order to double his strength in a short period, Wanyan Hongfeng began forcibly drawing out the power of Heavenly Cluster Clouds. Although the speed of extraction was very fast this way, the power stored in Heavenly Cluster Clouds was drained just as quickly, the wear and tear on Heavenly Cluster Clouds was tremendous.

In the past, Wanyan Hongfeng would definitely never have done such a thing. But now he truly had no other choice; he had to kill Fat Jiao as quickly as possible. The family had planned for a thousand years, all for this one era; and this was also the moment for Heavenly Cluster Clouds to exert its greatest effect. Wanyan Hongfeng felt no heartache at all over the loss to Heavenly Cluster Clouds, and kept on madly drawing the power from it.

The white radiance on Heavenly Cluster Clouds was visibly weakening at a speed the naked eye could see, which showed just how great the damage to Heavenly Cluster Clouds really was. But Wanyan Hongfeng paid no attention to any of this and continued ceaselessly absorbing its power.

As this power poured into his body without end, Wanyan Hongfeng’s body was constantly changing as well. His skin turned blood-red, the veins all bulged up, his whole body covered in corded blue veins—this was because the power inside his body was too strong and his qi and blood were circulating too fast. This process was actually extremely painful, but Wanyan Hongfeng clenched his teeth and endured it, not even letting out a single groan from beginning to end.

To kill Fat Jiao, for the Wanyan Family’s eternal merit, Wanyan Hongfeng could truly be said to be staking his life. This battle concerned his own reputation, and it concerned the Wanyan Family’s grand plan of the ages; Wanyan Hongfeng was genuinely sparing no effort!

On Mount Wendao’s side, Fat Jiao’s body was constantly changing; not only was his body growing longer, the Scale Armor on him was also gradually lengthening, slowly covering his entire form. A bulging lump of flesh also grew out atop his head; that lump kept swelling and protruding, and finally, just like the claw-shaped one on his chest, it split open, revealing a forked horn from within. The original horn on Fat Jiao’s head had now shifted to the side. These two horns happened to be symmetrically set on each side of Fat Jiao’s head, and they really did look like a dragon’s pair of horns!

The appearance of this pair of horns made Fat Jiao’s image far more majestic and imposing, and he looked even more like a dragon. However, Fat Jiao was still lying prone on the ground, his body constantly trembling, which showed that this Transforming into Dragon process was still not finished. Meanwhile, that mass of Chi Mang in the sky was slowly changing as well.

Originally that mass of Chi Mang had no shape at all, just like a lump of irregular dough. But now, that Chi Mang was slowly stretching out, five claws sprouting on it, and its head gradually taking on the form of a dragon. That Chi Mang seemed to be transforming into a dragon too, which was extremely strange.

On the summit, Wanyan Hongfeng was still continuously absorbing the power of Heavenly Cluster Clouds. All the muscles of his body were taut, his veins were practically about to burst, blue veins crisscrossed all over him, even his face was densely webbed with them, giving off a terrifying impression. To forcibly draw out so much power and yet not die from his body exploding was already no easy feat!

”Hurry, hurry!” The Five-Winged God’s voice rang out: ”That Jiao’s power has begun Transforming into Dragon. Once its power completes that Transforming into Dragon, then it will have fully become a dragon. At that point, if you still want to kill it, that will be absolutely impossible!”

”Hmph!” Wanyan Hongfeng let out a cold snort, slowly released his grip on Heavenly Cluster Clouds with both hands, and said, ”It won’t get the chance.”

”Oh?” The Five-Winged God paused, then said, ”Your strength has actually doubled? Good! Good! Good! This time that Jiao is doomed for sure!”

”How do I gather my power together?” Wanyan Hongfeng asked in a deep voice.

”Relax your body, hand over control of your body to me, let me handle it!” said the Five-Winged God.

”Why?” Wanyan Hongfeng asked warily. The Five-Winged God had always wanted to seize his body, so Wanyan Hongfeng had always been very on guard against him.

”Nonsense. If I teach you the method now, by the time you’ve mastered it, that Jiao over there will have already completed its Transforming into Dragon!” The Five-Winged God said, ”If you want to kill it, then stop spouting so much useless crap. Besides, my current strength isn’t even on par with a Peak Master. Are you really afraid I’ll steal your body? I just don’t want this body ruined by it, otherwise I wouldn’t even bother helping you!”

These last words did make Wanyan Hongfeng feel slightly more at ease. It was indeed the case: the Five-Winged God’s power consumption had been too great, and the strength he had left now was far below that of Wanyan Hongfeng’s opponents; Wanyan Hongfeng had no need to fear he would seize his body.

”All right, then I’ll leave what comes next to you!” Wanyan Hongfeng took a deep breath, slowly spread his hands, and relaxed his body.

After a moment, a streak of blood-red Chi light flashed through Wanyan Hongfeng’s eyes. In that instant, Wanyan Hongfeng’s aura changed drastically, as if he had become a different person; his body was suddenly suffused with a blood-soaked baleful presence!

”Hahahaha…” Wanyan Hongfeng let out a peal of laughter, and that voice was precisely the Five-Winged God’s. The Five-Winged God had already taken control of this body!

”Interesting!” The Five-Winged God softly uttered these words, slowly sizing up Wanyan Hongfeng’s body as if he were examining a new toy.

”Cut the crap and kill it, quickly!” Wanyan Hongfeng said in a deep voice, the Five-Winged God’s reaction making a trace of unease stir in his heart.

”Don’t worry, it’s doomed!” The Five-Winged God let out a cold laugh, slowly turning his gaze toward the Fat Jiao down the mountain. His hands rose into the air, slowly pressing together.

At that moment, the two enormous black hands in the sky also slowly pressed together. However, after they joined, the two black hands actually began to change shape. What had originally been two giant hands, once pressed together, slowly transformed into a mass of black radiance. That mass of black light shifted form in midair, and in the end, it became a wolf head over ten zhang tall.

The wolf head stood suspended in the sky, pitch-black all over, save only for its eyes, which were a scarlet red, staring fixedly at the Fat Jiao below the mountain like a vicious wolf that had locked onto its prey.

The Fat Jiao also sensed the terrifying power of this wolf head; it didn’t dare be careless at all. It let out a series of shrill cries, forcibly suppressing the trembling of its body as it slowly straightened up. The scarlet radiance in the air also slowly flew to stand before it, confronting that wolf head.

The scarlet light had only formed the embryonic outline of a dragon and had not yet fully taken shape. The Fat Jiao’s body was still trembling, which meant its Transforming into Dragon had not yet succeeded. At this moment, the Fat Jiao was not only enduring immense pain, but also bearing the peril of the dragon metamorphosis; its power was greatly depleted. It was the worst possible time for it to make a move. Yet it had no choice— the power of that wolf head made the Fat Jiao feel its life was in jeopardy; it had no choice but to resist during this crisis!

Wanyan Hongfeng—or rather, the Five-Winged God—looked at the Fat Jiao’s appearance, a cold smile brushing the corner of his lips. He let out a soft shout and casually waved his hand. The black wolf head instantly opened its blood-soaked maw and dove straight toward the Fat Jiao below, clearly intending to swallow both the scarlet radiance and the Fat Jiao together.

Though the spectators all around were not Beyond The Pinnacle masters, they all knew that once this wolf head swallowed someone, there would be no escaping death!

Facing the wolf head plummeting toward it, the Fat Jiao let out a roar from its mouth; the scarlet light surged up to meet it head-on, prepared to clash fiercely with the wolf head. But from the Fat Jiao’s trembling body, it was plain to see that in this direct clash, the Fat Jiao had absolutely no advantage!

Even so, it had no choice but to fight. If it did not strike, then it could only sit and wait for death. If the wolf head devoured only the scarlet radiance, at most its body would be wounded. But if its body were swallowed, then it would truly be doomed!

The wolf head descended through the air, its gaping maw seemingly capable of devouring heaven and earth. The scarlet radiance was not small, yet before that colossal mouth, it was utterly insignificant and was swallowed in an instant.

”Roar!” The Fat Jiao let out a howl, and whether from pain or something else, blood suddenly began to spray from its body, proof that the injuries it suffered were severe. Yet the Fat Jiao was truly formidable: the claw that had grown from its chest swept out fiercely, and the scarlet radiance immediately began thrashing inside the wolf head, actually lifting that wolf head up.

”Oh?” The Five-Winged God gave a soft exclamation; this development was beyond his expectations. He glanced down at the Fat Jiao, then again let out a cold laugh and said, ”Interesting. I truly didn’t expect that in this era there’d be a Jiao with such talent. Killing you is really a pity, but if you don’t die, then I will. So…”

At this point, the Five-Winged God suddenly bellowed, his arms flinging wide as he roared, ”Die for me!”

As the Five-Winged God spread his hands, the black wolf head instantly dispersed, replaced once more by two enormous black hands. The two black hands lunged forward together, seizing that mass of scarlet radiance from front and back.

The scarlet radiance already possessed the embryonic form of a dragon. The black hands gripped its head and tail, then began to tug outward with brute force, as if intending to tear this scarlet light apart alive.

Below, the Fat Jiao also suffered a devastating wound, again spraying a mouthful of fresh blood, its body growing much more frail. Under such circumstances, the battle was turning more and more against it.

On the mountain, Ye Qing and the others all clenched their fists, watching the Fat Jiao below with taut nerves; each of them was silently cheering it on in their hearts. In this moment, they all forgot their own life and death, worrying only for the Fat Jiao’s safety. For the Fat Jiao, under such conditions, to still forcibly hold Wanyan Hongfeng at bay made everyone feel immeasurably grateful.

Ye Qing was the most worried of them all; the Fat Jiao’s situation was clearly dire. If the fight went on like this, the Fat Jiao might very well leave its life here today. Yet what could he himself do?

Staring at the two forces constantly clashing in the sky, a sudden thought stirred in Ye Qing’s heart. Hugging the Dragon-breaking Knife, he immediately sprinted toward the cliff wall beside him.
