Urban Martial Saint

Other Miao people were also full of astonishment, such things were unheard of and unseen by them.

Huo Ying widened her eyes even more, she knew yesterday that this sword Ye Qing used to kill her snake lizard was definitely extraordinary. What she didn’t expect was that the sword had so many unique qualities. The sound of the sword’s song could even resolve the Echo Gu — was this still just a sword?

As everyone was in shock, the owner of the Echo Gu suddenly shouted fiercely, grabbing a dagger and rushed at Ye Qing.

”I’ll fight you to the death!” This Miao person seemed to have gone mad at this moment. As a Miao Gu Master, charging into close combat with Ye Qing was practically suicidal!

However, he truly was provoked. The Echo Gu was one he carefully nurtured, it was his lifeblood, rare even in all of the Miao Borderlands. It was the foundation of his pride as a Miao Gu Master. Now, with the Echo Gu dead at Ye Qing’s hands, he had lost his footing in the Miao Borderlands. How could he remain calm?

Seeing the Gu Master charging at him, Ye Qing didn’t hold back, he raised his foot and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying backward five or six meters. Lying on the ground, he vomited several mouthfuls of fresh blood, struggled several times, but couldn’t even get up. As a Miao Gu Master, his focus was mainly on nurturing Gu, and his physical strength was poor. Had Ye Qing not shown restraint, that kick could have cost him his life!

Seeing the situation, other Miao people grew furious, glaring intently at Ye Qing, everyone’s face was filled with anger. Someone shouted to attack together, and these Miao people began to simultaneously draw out their Gu insects, preparing to deal with Ye Qing together.

Ye Qing furrowed his brows, understanding that this time there was no hope of reconciliation with these Miao people. So many attacking at once genuinely gave him a headache. Miao Borderlands’ Gu insects were truly unpredictable and hard to guard against. If there were a few more Gu insects similar to the eerie Echo Gu, Ye Qing would really be doomed.

Fortunately, Gu insects like the Echo Gu were not common in the Miao Borderlands, they were considered comparatively unique. The other people’s Gu insects were either mainly poisonous or focused on strength, nothing else.

With a dozen people’s Gu insects released together, the scene suddenly became lively. Ye Qing couldn’t let these Gu insects near Huangfu Ziyu and Fire Sang girl, so he ran forward a few steps, distancing the battlefield.

With the dozen people’s whistling, their Gu insects simultaneously charged at Ye Qing. Some flew through the air, spraying venom at Ye Qing. Some crawled along the ground, entangling Ye Qing’s limbs, while others directly rushed to Ye Qing’s side, ready to bite his body.

Ye Qing gripped the Seven-Star Ancient Sword, striking down repeatedly, slicing two Gu insects apart. However, there were simply too many Gu insects, making it nearly impossible to defend against them. One crawled to his body and bit deeply into his arm.

Ye Qing winced from the pain, reaching back to tear the Gu insect off, attempting to crush it. But the body of the Gu insect was incredibly tough; Ye Qing couldn’t even squeeze it, and the Gu insect bit his finger in retaliation.

Ye Qing gritted his teeth, lifting the Seven-Star Ancient Sword and sliced down, cleaving the Gu insect in two. Although the Gu insect’s body was robust, for the Seven-Star Ancient Sword, it was like cutting through tofu.

With a dozen Gu insects surrounding Ye Qing, they couldn’t inflict much harm, instead getting themselves eliminated one by one, driving several Gu Masters to the brink of madness.

Beside them, Zhou Yuliang observed the situation clearly, knowing that at this rate, they couldn’t possibly take down Ye Qing. He quietly signaled to Huo Ying, gesturing towards Huangfu Ziyu and Fire Sang girl.

Huo Ying understood Zhou Yuliang’s intent, which was to use Huangfu Ziyu to threaten Ye Qing. She secretly released her remaining snake lizard, letting it target Huangfu Ziyu. However, before dealing with Huangfu Ziyu, she planned to kill Fire Sang girl first, intending this time not to let her return alive.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing was entangled with the Gu insects when suddenly a shrill scream sounded behind him. Ye Qing turned his head, only to see the snake lizard had wrapped around Fire Sang girl’s neck, its mouth wide open, ready to bite Fire Sang girl’s face.

Seeing the situation, Ye Qing was startled; he knew the power of this snake lizard. If bitten by it, death was certain within three minutes. Fire Sang girl had saved Huangfu Ziyu, and he certainly wouldn’t stand by idly.

Ye Qing shouted furiously, ignoring the Gu insects behind him, sprinted over, blocking Fire Sang girl’s face just as the snake lizard was about to bite. The snake lizard bit Ye Qing’s hand instead, and with merely a frown, Ye Qing tore the snake lizard off.

Simultaneously, six or seven Gu insects lunged forward, biting Ye Qing’s back. Ye Qing, focused on saving Fire Sang girl, didn’t have the time to deal with these biting pests, suffering a significant loss.

Seeing this, Fire Sang girl froze completely. For the first time in her life, someone was willing to risk their life for her, leaving her heart in utter chaos, uncertain of what she was even doing.

Ye Qing, without a pause, used the Seven-Star Ancient Sword to slice the snake lizard, then reached back to grab the Gu insects on his back. After struggling for quite a while, his back riddled with wounds from the bites, he finally managed to pull them off, resolving most of them.

Nearby, Huo Ying was stunned; she never expected Ye Qing to be so formidable. Despite being continuously attacked by so many Gu insects, he managed to remain standing, something she had never witnessed before.

Zhou Yuliang frowned deeply, seeing these Gu insects being gradually dealt with by Ye Qing, he knew that these Miao people were also no match for Ye Qing. He quietly tugged at Huo Ying’s clothes, signaling her with his eyes to escape first.

Huo Ying was indeed afraid of Ye Qing. Receiving Zhou Yuliang’s signal, she certainly did not dare to linger here. Taking advantage of the tense battle, she quietly left with Zhou Yuliang first.

On this side, Ye Qing was also nearing his limit. He certainly had no time to worry about Zhou Yuliang and Huo Ying. After managing to hold on for a few more minutes, he finally resolved all the Gu insects, letting out a long breath of relief.

At this moment, the dozen or so Miao people here were nearly in despair. They never expected that even with a dozen people joining forces, they were still unable to overpower Ye Qing. How could they accept this? But the fact had already happened, what could they do?

With the last Gu insect crushed underfoot, Ye Qing raised the Seven-Star Ancient Sword in his hand, pointing it at the dozen or so Miao people opposite him, and said in a deep voice, ”Get lost!”

At this moment, these Miao people dared not have any complaints anymore. Hearing Ye Qing’s words, the dozen Miao people immediately ran over, helped up the Miao person who had been injured by Ye Qing earlier, and fled the Gu Storage Cave in panic.

Ye Qing was also close to his limit. Seeing these people running far away, his body swayed and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Ye Qing carried a healing holy medicine, the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill from Shen Family Manor, and after taking one, his wound began to slowly recover. Moreover, after resting for a few minutes, most of his strength was restored.

”Big brother, you... you look quickly...” At this moment, the Fire Sang girl suddenly exclaimed.

Ye Qing hurried over, only to see Huangfu Ziyu lying on the ground, her body continuously convulsing in pain. Her face had turned extremely pale, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she was clenching her teeth, struggling to endure the pain.

”How did this happen?” Ye Qing asked urgently, ”Zi Yu, Zi Yu, how are you?”

Huangfu Ziyu could no longer speak, and the Fire Sang girl said anxiously, ”It must be the awakening of the Twin Life Gu, we need to quickly find a way to remove the Twin Life Gu, or it will be dangerous!”

”What method is there to remove the Twin Life Gu?” Ye Qing said anxiously.

”Go find the Gu God!” the Fire Sang girl said urgently, ”The Gu God definitely has a way!”

Hearing this, Ye Qing suddenly realized and without further ado, quickly carried Huangfu Ziyu on his back and ran outside the cave. The Fire Sang girl also followed closely, and the three of them ran down the mountain together, planning to find the Gu God for help.

Those Miao people were also descending the mountain at this moment, and when they suddenly saw Ye Qing rushing towards them, their faces turned pale with fear. They thought Ye Qing had gone back on his word and was coming to kill them; everyone was on high alert. However, their Gu insects were all dead, so what could they use to stand against Ye Qing now?

But in fact, Ye Qing did not even glance at them, running straight past them without a backward glance, heading directly down the mountain.

Seeing Ye Qing’s behavior, the Gu Masters were all puzzled, one person curiously asked, ”Why is this person running so fast?”

This question, of course, no one could answer, and everyone was quite puzzled.

Ye Qing ran down the mountain, heading straight to Zhenmu Palace. This was where the Gu God resided, and normally, people could not enter at will. However, Ye Qing was an exception, as the Gu God had specifically instructed that Ye Qing could come and go freely.

Running into Zhenmu Palace, the small child came out directly and led Ye Qing straight to the back room.

”Lord Gu God said that when you return, come here to wait first.” The child helped Ye Qing settle Huangfu Ziyu, and said, ”I will go find the Gu God now, you take a rest!”

”I’m fine, hurry up.” Ye Qing urged. Right now he was most worried about Huangfu Ziyu, not caring about resting himself.

The child did not waste words, immediately running to the front. Ye Qing waited anxiously, and luckily, it wasn’t long before the child returned with the Gu God.

”What’s the situation? What’s the situation?” The Gu God hurriedly asked upon entering, and seeing Huangfu Ziyu’s condition, frowned deeply and said in a serious tone, ”How could it be this fast?”
