Urban Martial Saint

On the side of the Snake Form Gate, facing the impetuous expressions of the Snake Form Gate crowd wanting to kill him, Ye Qing always wore a smile, as if he was not in a dangerous situation at all.

Here, although the crowd of the Snake Form Gate was constantly clamoring, without Song Yuanwu speaking up, they did not take action. However, they had already surrounded Ye Qing and his people in the middle. It seemed that they were just waiting for Song Yuanwu’s word. As soon as Song Yuanwu spoke, they would unhesitatingly attack and kill Ye Qing and his people right there.

After a long silence, Song Yuanwu seemed to finally come back to his senses. He looked at Ye Qing, took a deep breath, and said, ”Do you have anything else to say?”

Ye Qing said, ”Sect Leader Song, if I tell you that you’ve misunderstood me, would you believe it?”

”Misunderstood you?” Song Yuanwu frowned and said coldly, ”Whether I misunderstood you or not isn’t key. The key point is that you have killed so many people from the Xingyi School. An eye for an eye, this isn’t a misunderstanding!”

”But what if I didn’t kill the people from Xingyi School?” Ye Qing remained calm and said, ”The thirteen from the Xingyi School weren’t killed by me. Sect Leader Song, with your wisdom, you must be able to guess that these deaths were deliberately framed on me, intentionally causing me to be enemies with the Snake Form Gate.”

On Xu Cunxiao’s side, Mr. Wu’s expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, ”This Ye knows about this, damn it, I hope Song Yuanwu won’t be persuaded by him. Third Brother, should I send someone out to encourage that Song Yuanwu?”

”No need!” Xu Cunxiao shook his head decisively and said, ”Song Yuanwu isn’t Snake, sending someone to encourage him is useless. There’s no need to get agitated; even if Song Yuanwu really knows it was us who framed Ye Qing, he absolutely won’t let Ye Qing off tonight. The key point is that Snake was killed by Ye Qing; Ye Qing shouldn’t dream of leaving here alive tonight!”

”Is that so?” Mr. Wu was skeptical, but he calmed down and did not rush out to deal with the matter, continuing to carefully listen to the conversation on the side of the Snake Form Gate.

Hearing Ye Qing’s words, Song Yuanwu’s facial expression didn’t change much, still looking coldly at Ye Qing.

”Who exactly killed those thirteen needs further careful investigation. If it wasn’t you, I will definitely not wrong you,” Song Yuanwu said to Ye Qing in a deep voice. ”However, you can’t deny my son’s death, can you?”

Ye Qing looked at the ”corpse” of Snake behind him, smiled slightly, and said, ”Sect Leader Song, what if I say your son wasn’t killed by me either, would you believe that?”

”Ye, you still want to lie?” a member of the Snake Form Gate immediately shouted angrily.

”So many people saw with their own eyes, you used a wooden stick to kill Xiao She, you still want to deny it?”

”Talking nonsense with eyes wide open, you’re just trying to shirk responsibility. In my opinion, those thirteen of our Snake Form Gate were definitely killed by you, no question about it!”

”Why waste words with him, kill him! Kill him!”

The Snake Form Gate crowd stirred up again, and Song Yuanwu, with a furrowed brow, looked at Ye Qing coldly and said, ”By saying this, are you mocking my intelligence?”

”Not really...” Ye Qing smiled lightly, not speaking further, just quietly looking at Song Yuanwu.

Song Yuanwu was somewhat surprised by Ye Qing’s gaze, and he asked solemnly, ”Do you have anything else to say?”

Ye Qing said, ”Not at the moment.”

”Since you have nothing to say, then let’s not talk anymore!” Song Yuanwu, angered, said solemnly, ”Ye, the thirteen lives of our Snake Form Gate, whether it was you who killed them has yet to be determined, I will put this aside for now. But you definitely killed my son, an eye for an eye, are you going to do it yourself, or should I do it myself?”

”I don’t want either!” Ye Qing replied.

”Cocking snooks at death, you still have time to run your mouth!” an elder from the Snake Form Gate shouted angrily, ”Sect Leader, don’t waste words with him. You give the order, I’ll kill him personally!”

”Yes, just kill him, no need to waste words!”

The Snake Form Gate crowd clamored, the voices making Xu Cunxiao and Mr. Wu listening from across the way excited. In their view, the situation was already decided, and Ye Qing was about to be attacked by these people.

Facing the fierce crowd, Ye Qing was still very calm, as if these people were not targeting him at all.

Song Yuanwu had long wanted to order Ye Qing’s death, but seeing Ye Qing’s composed demeanor, it made him very curious, not understanding what Ye Qing really meant. Knowing that Ye Qing was surrounded by so many people, and so many of them wanted to kill him, how could he still afford to smile?

”Ye Qing, do you have any last words to say?” Song Yuanwu asked in a deep voice.

”I’m not yet ready to die, what last words should I say!” Ye Qing laughed.

Song Yuanwu, infuriated, thinking that Ye Qing was looking down on him, shouted angrily, ”Since that’s the case, then there’s nothing to say. Good, I won’t waste time anymore. Ye Qing, you killed my son, today, I want you to pay for my son’s life!”

Song Yuanwu spoke, standing up directly and walked straight towards Ye Qing.

Seeing Song Yuanwu approaching, other people started to slowly retreat. After all, Snake was Song Yuanwu’s own son, and it was only right for him to personally seek revenge.

Seeing Song Yuanwu approaching, Ye Qing quickly waved his hands and said, ”Sect Leader Song, isn’t it too hasty? We haven’t even finished speaking, and you want to strike immediately; isn’t that somewhat inappropriate?”

”You don’t have anything to say, do you?” Song Yuanwu said in a deep voice, ”Ye, what kind of tricks are you still trying to play?”

”I’m not trying to play any tricks, I just want to speak a few words of truth.” Ye Qing said, ”As I said earlier, I didn’t kill your son. You shouldn’t be seeking revenge on me!”

Song Yuanwu looked at Snake’s ”corpse” beside him, his eyes reddened, and he bellowed and charged towards Ye Qing.

Just at that moment, a firework suddenly went off in the courtyard opposite to the Snake Form Gate. The firework exploded in the air with a loud ’pop’, instantly drawing everyone’s attention, even causing the ready-to-strike Song Yuanwu to involuntarily look over.

Seeing the fireworks, a smile immediately appeared on the corner of Ye Qing’s mouth. He turned his head to look at Song Yuanwu and smiled, ”Sect Leader Song, now we can talk properly. But first, let me show you something crucial, lest you refuse to speak with me!”

As he spoke, Ye Qing walked straight to Snake’s ”corpse” and patted the ”corpse” of Snake while smiling, ”Snake, Snake, it’s time to get up!”

Everyone looked in astonishment at what Ye Qing was doing, not understanding the intention behind his actions.

”What is that?” Mr. Wu from across the house also looked utterly perplexed.

Xu Cunxiao was first stunned, then his expression drastically changed as he said in a deep voice, ”This is bad, something has gone wrong!”

After speaking, without any hesitation, Xu Cunxiao immediately jumped up and ran towards the door. But just as he reached the doorway, a short dagger stabbed straight towards his chest. Xu Cunxiao quickly dodged aside, and just at that moment, a hand reached out to him. Xu Cunxiao reached out to block but still got scratched, leaving several bloody marks on his arm.

”Hee hee hee...” A strange laughter came from the darkness, revealing the newcomer’s identity through the laughter - naturally, it was Ghost King Li Ruoyuan from Killing Gate Seven Hidden.

”Third Brother, what’s wrong?” Mr. Wu came from behind, just about to speak again when another person emerged from the darkness, raising their hand and striking at him.

Mr. Wu quickly raised his hand to block, but the person was too fast; he couldn’t even counter the moves and could only clash palms with the attacker. As a result, he stepped back twice, but the other person didn’t even wobble, making the disparity in their strength very clear.

”Who are you?” Mr. Wu frowned, his expression changing instantly.

”Black Asura!” The person answered coldly, the icy tone sounding indeed like an evil ghost Asura.

”People from Killing Gate?” Mr. Wu widened his eyes and exclaimed, ”What... What are you doing here?”

”Since you use listening devices, don’t you know that these devices can also be used to track you?” Another person walked out from the darkness, it was Cui Yu. Two people stood next to him, one was Netherworld Taoist, and the other was Pig King.

On the other side stood two people, Ghost King Li Ruoyuan and Demon Queen He Qinghua. These six people representing the full force of Killing Gate, having just encircled Xu Cunxiao and Mr. Wu in the middle.

Xu Cunxiao furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, ”Since when did people from Killing Gate learn to use listening devices to track others?”

”We don’t know how to, but someone else does!” Cui Yu smiled, ”You really had bad luck, using things like listening devices, which led to your discovery. Xu Cunxiao, it seems you really deserve to die!”

Xu Cunxiao’s frown deepened, and looking at the people from Killing Gate blocking his way, he was clear in his mind. With these six people from Killing Gate here, their chances of escaping were virtually non-existent.

”When did you arrive? I didn’t notice at all!” Xu Cunxiao asked in a deep voice.

Cui Yu said, ”Ye Qing had already started preparing this plan a while ago; we actually came here before he did. But it was difficult to pinpoint your location, so we haven’t shown ourselves. Just now, we managed to determine your location and came over to find you, and also sent a signal to Ye Qing, now we can proceed with the plan!”

”Impossible!” Xu Cunxiao shouted angrily, ”Ye couldn’t have been preparing this plan for so long; he didn’t even know what I was up to, how could he have prepared this plan? And even though he killed Snake, forging a deep enmity with the Snake Form Gate, what use is a plan?”

Before Cui Yu could respond to Xu Cunxiao, Song Yuanwu’s trembling voice came through the listening device: ”Xiao She, you… you… you’re not dead?”

”Dad, of course I’m not dead!” The sound of Snake laughing also came through: ”I’ve been pretending to be dead all along, this was actually a play I staged with Ye Qing!”
