Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qingzhen, sitting in the car, felt sorry for Li Chengxing. Ghost King Li Ruoyuan was always unpredictable and extremely ruthless. And yet, Li Chengxing dared to curse him like that—wasn’t that just like begging for death?

”Hehehe…” Li Ruoyuan sneered continuously, rubbing his hands together and said, ”Cui Yulong, I don’t care about anything else, but this man must be handed over to me!”

”Okay!” Cui Yulong responded tersely. This was not something he was going to fight Li Ruoyuan over.

”Hand over whom? Damn, can’t you see the situation? Still daring to talk like that, are you asking for death?” Li Chengxing spat, glanced into the car, was startled at first, then his expression changed and said, ”Damn, isn’t that Ye Qing? Shit, that bastard really came out!”

Though Li Chengxing said this, he was backing away. He had suffered several losses at Ye Qing’s hands before and was somewhat scared seeing him.

”It really is Ye Qing!”

”That bastard even dares to show his face!”

”Kill him!”

”Damn, are you out of your mind? Everyone says Ye Qing is an exceptional fighter; do you think a few of us could kill him?”

”It’s not necessarily so. I heard that Ye Qing was severely injured by the Xingyi School and is now just an empty shell. If we kill him and take his head to the Xingyi School, definitely it would be a great achievement!”

The crowd was abuzz with talk, and soon almost everyone was glaring fiercely at Ye Qing. They all knew about Ye Qing’s injuries and now wanted to seize this opportunity to kill Ye Qing and take his body to the Ding Family or the Xingyi School for a big reward, and certainly for a hefty sum of money!

Li Chengxing was the most agitated. Upon learning of Ye Qing’s injuries, he was the first to wave his hand and yelled, ”Damn it, what are you waiting for, chop him down!”

Li Chengxing’s followers, all of whom had suffered at Ye Qing’s hands before, eagerly seized the opportunity and, armed with machetes, charged forward shouting.

Seeing the Fu Bang’s men attacking, others also charged forward, unwilling to be outdone, all eager to earn the accolade of killing Ye Qing.

Seeing the crowd ferociously charging from all sides, a cold light flashed across Cui Yulong’s face as he promptly drew the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade from the wooden box. The blade clashing with the box produced a loud clang akin to a dragon’s roar and echoed for a long while.

The man at the front clearly was frightened by this dragon roar, hesitated for a moment, but Cui Yulong’s Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade had already come chopping down. The man, caught off-guard, had his right arm—holding the machete—chopped off by Cui Yulong’s single swift stroke, and the whole arm fell to the ground while he was still dumbstruck. It took him a while before he clutched his arm, fell to the ground, and began rolling around, screaming loudly.

Ye Qing, watching from inside the car, saw clearly as the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade severed the man’s arm. The blood that stained the blade did not drip but slowly seeped into the blade instead. As the blood infiltrated, the black blade seemed to exude a bloody mist all around, giving it an even more mysterious and chilling aura, which instinctively triggered fear.

Even Ye Qing inside the car was shocked. This Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade was truly extraordinary—indeed, it could be called an Evil Blade!

With Cui Yulong chopping off the man’s arm, the crowd was momentarily stunned. Where had they ever seen someone act so ruthlessly?

With his expression cold as ice, Cui Yulong lifted the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade and pointed at everyone up front, and declared, ”If you don’t want to end up like him, get lost immediately!”

After exchanging looks, Li Chengxing began to yell loudly, ”Damn, it’s just you alone, and you dare to be so arrogant with us. Everyone together, let’s see just how capable he is, and how many of us he can kill?”

In the end, it was the strength of numbers; Li Chengxing’s words immediately rekindled the fervor within the hesitating crowd, who roared and charged forward again.

”Hehehe…” Ghost King Li Ruoyuan kept laughing coldly, lightly touching the ground with his toes, and like a specter, he floated directly toward Li Chengxing.

Seeing Ghost King Li Ruoyuan act this way, Li Chengxing was startled yet again, his eyes widened as he said, ”Damn, a ghost!”

Li Chengxing turned to run, but it was already too late. Ghost King Li Ruoyuan had already rushed in front of him and blocked his path.

Li Chengxing jumped in fright and urgently shouted, ”Quick, kill him!”

The two henchmen beside Li Chengxing raised their machetes and went to chop Li Ruoyuan, who continuously laughed strangely as he suddenly stretched out both hands, grabbing the descending machetes. With a twist of his hands, he broke the machetes right in two.

The two lackeys jumped in fright, while Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s movements were even faster, directly slicing the blade across the necks of the two men who immediately collapsed to the ground, clutching their necks as blood gushed out through their fingers.

Li Chengxing, witnessing this scene beside them, was nearly scared out of his wits. Seeing Ghost King Li Ruoyuan look towards him, he screamed loudly and turned to run. But how could he possibly escape from Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s grasp? Li Ruoyuan reached out and grabbed his shoulder, pulling him in front of himself.

”Hehehe...” Ghost King Li Ruoyuan chuckled wickedly, staring straight at Li Chengxing, and said, ”You said you were going to make it tough for me?”

”Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I... I misspoke, you heard wrong, I... how could I say such a thing...” Li Chengxing pleaded with a trembling voice, realizing that the person before him was not someone he could afford to provoke.

”Is that so?” Ghost King Li Ruoyuan sneered, slowly reaching out a hand to caress Li Chengxing’s face, his freakishly long nails like a sharp dagger, slowly tracing across Li Chengxing’s face, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

Finally, Ghost King Li Ruoyuan placed his nail on Li Chengxing’s ear, and with a wicked laugh asked, ”You think there’s something wrong with my ears?”

Feeling the fingernail on his ear gradually apply more pressure, Li Chengxing felt his whole body tense up and hurriedly said, ”No... not at all...”

”But, you just said I heard wrong!” Ghost King Li Ruoyuan sighed lightly, and suddenly his right hand slashed down, cutting off Li Chengxing’s ear with his sharp fingernails.

”Ah!” Li Chengxing clutched his ear and screamed miserably, but alas, Ghost King Li Ruoyuan gave him no chance to retreat, grabbing his shoulder and pinning him on the spot.

”You say there is nothing wrong with my ears, which means, I didn’t hear wrong and you indeed said that!” Ghost King Li Ruoyuan slowly placed his hand near Li Chengxing’s mouth, his eyes gleaming coldly, seemingly prepared to cut out Li Chengxing’s tongue next.

Li Chengxing could never have imagined that this hideously ugly freak possessed such formidable strength, or that he could be so ruthlessly violent. Seeing Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s hand coming towards him, Li Chengxing suddenly gritted his teeth, roared, and pulled out a dagger, stabbing towards Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s chest.

”Hehehe...” Ghost King Li Ruoyuan let out a wicked chuckle, and without seeming to move, he retreated more than a meter back, making Li Chengxing’s stab hit nothing but air.

Li Chengxing paused for a moment, seeing Ghost King Li Ruoyuan back off, he immediately tried to turn and run. However, before he had taken two steps, Ghost King Li Ruoyuan appeared in front of him again, his bizarre appearance and terrifying smile, like a nightmare, almost shattering his sanity.

”Damn you, I’ll fight you to the end!” Li Chengxing roared, lunging with the dagger towards Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s chest. However, Ghost King Li Ruoyuan was too fast, and after several rounds of chasing, he hadn’t even touched the hem of Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s garment, and ended up panting heavily, leaning against a car.

It was only then that Li Chengxing realized that on the ground around the scene, there were already twenty or so people, all with severed limbs, severely injured. And the instigator of all this, Cui Yulong, was leisurely putting the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade back into its wooden box, this time sealing the box shut.

Over thirty people had come, and now twenty or so had their limbs severed, with the remaining ten or so now nowhere to be seen. Li Chengxing was nearly scared out of his wits, finally realizing that Ye Qing didn’t drive here because they forced him to, but had deliberately lured them here. Despite their numbers, they had suffered a heavy loss!

”Ye, you bastard, you’re ruthless!” Li Chengxing roared furiously, ”Do you think you and these two freaks can leave Shenchuan City alive? I’ll tell you, my uncle has already given the order, all Fu Bang people will show no mercy to you and your men, I damn well want to see where you can run to!”

”Hey, lad, you’re not being very professional here!” Ghost King Li Ruoyuan walked over and stood in front of Li Chengxing, saying, ”We haven’t settled our issue yet, and you’re already drawing new hatred. It’s going to be boring if I have to queue to kill you later. Come on, let’s settle our affair first!”

”I’ll settle your grandpa!” Li Chengxing gritted his teeth, making another stab towards Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s chest. Yet, he missed again, almost driving him to despair. He really couldn’t understand how Ghost King Li Ruoyuan, with his small and skinny stature, could run so fast.

”Bastard, if you have the guts, stop running and fight me one on one!” Li Chengxing shouted.

”You want a one-on-one fight?” Ghost King Li Ruoyuan looked at Li Chengxing, fiddled with his ear, and said, ”Are you sure you want a one-on-one fight?”

”Just don’t run, and killing you will be like playing!” Li Chengxing shouted, his furious mind having forgotten Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s formidable strength.

”Alright then, let’s have a one-on-one fight!” Ghost King Li Ruoyuan walked over to Li Chengxing, chuckling wickedly, and said, ”Come on, let’s see your strength, I won’t run!”

Li Chengxing frowned, seeing Ghost King Li Ruoyuan standing right in front of him, he slowly approached. When he was about half a meter away, he suddenly reached out to grab Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s shoulder, and with his other hand holding the dagger, he stabbed towards Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s chest.

Having firmly grabbed Ghost King Li Ruoyuan, he wasn’t afraid of him running anymore. Moreover, the attack was exceptionally fast, and he was confident he could pierce through Ghost King Li Ruoyuan in one go!

However, just as the dagger was about to pierce Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s chest, Ghost King Li Ruoyuan’s body, as if boneless, unexpectedly bent into an incredible arc, directly avoiding Li Chengxing’s dagger.
