Urban Martial Saint

”Swordsmanship and boxing techniques?” Bei Shisan’s eyes gleamed as he said solemnly, ”If we can obtain this set of swordsmanship or boxing techniques, Father, your strength will definitely allow you to claim the title of one of the Five Uniques!”

”Hahaha...” Northern Martial Zen burst into laughter, glanced at Bei Shisan, and said, ”It’s more than that!”

”Oh?” Bei Shisan was even more astonished but soon smiled and said, ”Yes, yes, with your natural talents, Father, if you can have this set of swordsmanship and boxing techniques, you will undoubtedly surpass the Five Unmatches and become truly Invincible Under the Heavens!”

”What I’m saying is that the secrets on Ye Qing are even more than that!” Northern Martial Zen said, ”Do you remember when Helian Tiehua came, Ye Qing could actually emit the same long howl as Helian Tiehua, with power not inferior to his.”

”That’s right, right, and there’s also this matter.” Bei Shisan quickly said, ”Ye’s inner strength is fundamentally lacking. How did he achieve this? To emit the same long howl as Helian Tiehua? Did he use some trick?”

”Such a long howl is entirely driven by the inner strength within the dantian, it can’t be accomplished by tricks alone.” Northern Martial Zen shook his head and said, ”If he didn’t have inner strength within him that could match Helian Tiehua’s, he wouldn’t be able to emit such a howl, there’s no doubt about that.”

”Then, does he possibly have inner strength in his body that can match Helian Tiehua’s?” Bei Shisan was taken aback for a moment and said, ”This...this can’t be possible, can it?”

”That’s the issue.” Northern Martial Zen said solemnly, ”I suspect Ye Qing has hidden a very powerful inner strength inside him, which he can’t yet utilize.”

”Is that so?” Bei Shisan furrowed his brows, looking displeased, and said, ”No way? Where would this boy get such powerful inner strength? And how come all these good things keep falling into his lap?”

”Northern Fist King Li Changqing!” Northern Martial Zen said solemnly, ”The Northern Fist King is one of the Five Unmatches. With his strength, he had no problem living for several more decades. Yet he was the first of the Five Unmatches to pass away, there’s definitely something wrong here.”

”Wasn’t the Northern Fist King Li Changqing poisoned to death?” Bei Shisan said, ”Probably the poison couldn’t be completely purged, leading to his death.”

”That’s possible.” Northern Martial Zen said, ”However, before he died, did his entire inner strength go with him to the afterlife, or did he pass it on to someone else? That is the most crucial question.”

”So you’re saying...” Bei Shisan took a deep breath and said solemnly, ”Ye Qing’s inner strength is actually the entire inner strength of Northern Fist King Li Changqing?”

Northern Martial Zen furrowed his brows tightly, slowly nodded, and said solemnly, ”Now you know why Ye Qing must die, right? The stepping technique of the Great Tiangang Beidou Formation, the entire inner strength of the Northern Fist King, if he completely masters any of these, no one in this world will be able to restrain him!”

”Die! He must die!” Bei Shisan gritted his teeth and said solemnly, ”No, we must kill him as soon as possible!”

”Why kill him?” Northern Martial Zen gave a cold smile and said, ”He holds two great treasures but cannot use them himself. Rather than killing him, we might as well first seize these two things. The Great Tiangang Beidou Formation can greatly enhance both our powers. And if I could acquire the entire inner strength of the Northern Fist King, who else in this world could be my opponent?”

”Correct! Correct!” Bei Shisan excitedly nodded repeatedly and said, ”By then, Father, you will truly be Invincible Under the Heavens. And I will become the strongest among the younger generation, and no one else will be able to contend with our Bei Family.”

”Hahaha...” Northern Martial Zen laughed heartily, his expression extraordinarily pleased. Bei Shisan laughed even more happily beside him. If his father became number one in the world, and he became the first among the younger generation, what else was there to say? Whether it’s Shen Qingyi or Huangfu Ziyu, wouldn’t they all have to obediently submit under my feet, becoming my playthings?”

”Father, there’s no time to lose. Why don’t we first capture Ye Qing and force him to hand over these two things?” Bei Shisan said in a low voice.

”Are you crazy!?” Northern Martial Zen said solemnly, ”Ye is currently staying at Shen Family Manor. If we act here, you’ll be asking for death!”

”This...” Bei Shisan also felt he was being a bit hasty, awkwardly scratched his head, and said, ”If we take action too late and someone else gets there first, it won’t be good.”

”It’s not likely.” Northern Martial Zen shook his head and said, ”There aren’t many who know as much as we do. I reckon that the one truly eyeing Ye Qing is still Prince Wan Yan. No matter what, we must guard against Prince Wan Yan and not let him snatch Ye Qing. Only then will there be no problem. As for other matters, it’s inconvenient to make a move here in the Shen family. Let’s wait until we leave the Shen family to discuss further!”

”That’s right!” Bei Shisan nodded repeatedly and said, ”In that case, Father, should I first have someone block all the exits of the Shen Family Manor to prevent Ye Qing from sneaking away?”

Northern Martial Zen said solemnly, ”Just block the perimeter. The key is to keep an eye on Ye Qing without alarming him. Make sure no one finds out what our target is.”

”No problem!” Bei Shisan immediately stood up and went out to gather people to take care of this matter.

Northern Martial Zen stood in the room, quietly watching the lights in the distant courtyards, a cold smile brushing across his lips. Those courtyards were precisely where Helian Tiehua, Prince Nalan, and others were staying.

At the same time, in the tranquil deep night, outside Shen Family Manor, in the mountain forest, a chubby man dressed in black was traversing through the woods. This chubby man appeared clumsy in physique, but in the forest, he was quite agile, likely a type that frequently walked mountain paths.

Moonlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating the chubby man’s face. This man was none other than the Handsome Fatty Wang, who had escaped from prison in Shenchuan City. This guy was indeed bold to have snuck over to Shen Family Manor; wasn’t that seeking death? Ye Qing was looking everywhere for him, and this guy had really put Ye Qing in a tough spot.

After walking in the forest for over ten minutes, Handsome Fatty Wang finally reached the mountaintop. Standing on a protruding boulder, he could clearly see the situation inside Shen Family Manor.

Handsome Fatty Wang held a night vision binocular, sprawled on the boulder, carefully observing the terrain of Shen Family Manor. He also took a piece of paper and drew out the entire terrain of Shen Family Manor. This guy worked meticulously, and the drawn map was very clear, practically like a professional map.

After finishing the map, Handsome Fatty Wang compared it with Shen Family Manor’s surroundings from various angles until he was sure his drawing was flawless. Only then did he nod in satisfaction and put the map into his pocket.

”That bastard Ye, dared to trick your Fat Lord. Just wait, once Fat Lord sells the Gold Silk Armor for a good price, I’ll teach you a lesson and show you Fat Lord’s prowess!” The chubby man muttered as he turned and clumsily scrambled down from the boulder.

”Don’t move!” Just as he landed, a voice came from the side, and simultaneously, a cold dagger pressed against Handsome Fatty Wang’s waist.

Handsome Fatty Wang immediately raised his hands, saying, ”Bro, I have no money. I just escaped from prison a few days ago, and have been chased by the police, couldn’t withdraw any funds. I only have a little over fifty on me, which I stole a few days ago. Even this outfit is stolen, not worth much. If you like, go ahead and take it, just don’t kill me. I’m so handsome; I really don’t want to die young!”

”Damn, you talk too much?” The person behind pushed the dagger forward a bit, scaring Handsome Fatty Wang into screaming miserably.

”Don’t scream, can’t you keep it down?” The person behind quickly said, ”Don’t randomly scream; others would think I’m doing something to you.”

Hands Fatty Wang nervously said, ”No, Brother, can you move that thing back a little; it’s poking me!”

”Damn, what are you guys doing?” Before the person behind could speak, two others stood by and said, ”Tiger, we asked you to grab him, what are you doing to him? What’s poking him?”

”Damn, how is this my fault!” Tiger at the back was speechless, ”He was talking about my dagger, damn, I’m straight; what kind of look are you giving me.”

”Hehehe...” The two laughed, showing a face like ’I understand,’ but said nothing more.

”What are you laughing at; I’m telling the truth, see, the dagger is right here.” Tiger hurriedly explained.

”Alright, alright, we believe you now!” The leading man smiled and said, ”Besides, with your taste, even if you liked men, you definitely wouldn’t choose this chubby kid.”

”Hey, how can you say that?” Handsome Fatty Wang immediately disagreed, ”Can you speak frankly? What do you mean by his taste won’t choose someone like me? And what’s calling me a chubby kid? I’m telling you, I’ve fallen into your hands, I admit it. Kill or cut, do as you wish, but don’t insult my dignity and looks, understand?”

”Hahaha...” The leading man laughed and said, ”Tiger, did you see that, he’s even picky about you!”

”Shut your damn mouth!” Tiger kicked Handsome Fatty Wang on his butt, pushing him forward a step, ”Damn, you’re that Handsome Fatty Wang?”

”How do you know Fat Lord?” Handsome Fatty Wang asked in surprise.

Tiger glared and said, ”Nonsense, we are Prince Wan Yan’s men; what do you think?”

”Prince Wan Yan?” Handsome Fatty Wang shivered with fear, ”Oh, you’re brothers of Prince Wan Yan, I didn’t recognize Mount Tai, my apologies. But it’s useless finding me; the Gold Silk Armor isn’t with me, it’s on Ye Qing’s body. If you’re looking for the Gold Silk Armor, find Ye Qing; it’s useless looking for me...”

”You don’t need to pin this thing on others; of course, Prince Wan Yan knows exactly where the Gold Silk Armor is. It’s just that Prince Wan Yan ordered us brothers to wait for you outside Shen Family Manor.” The leading man sneered.

”Wait for me?” Handsome Fatty Wang was surprised, ”No way, how did he know I was coming here? Could he be a prophet?”
