Urban Martial Saint

Zou Huanglong, having listened to so much, still didn’t understand what exactly Ye Qing and Ding Lianshun were discussing, primarily because he had no idea what sorcery was. Therefore, it was relatively easy to deceive him.

”This is a term within our special abilities, not convenient to explain,” Ye Qing replied casually.

”I see!” Zou Huanglong had a look of sudden realization and quickly laughed, ”Understood, understood!”

Seeing that Zou Huanglong said so, Xiao Xie certainly didn’t ask anything further. The group sat in the room, eating the food Ding Lianshun brought to fill their stomachs, watching the child on the bed still devouring voraciously, with each person’s mood differing.

The Little Xie Couple were, of course, pondering about saving their son, both feeling anxious. Even though Ye Qing said the child could be cured by the evening, until it was done, their worry wouldn’t cease.

Ye Qing, on the other hand, was mainly contemplating the sorcerer matter. Having seen those poisonous insects just now, he felt greater loathing towards these sorcerers. Not only had these sorcerers cast a spell on this little kid to cultivate a Living Corpse with his body, they had also placed this poison curse on everyone in his family. It was evident that the sorcerer aimed to eradicate the Xiao Xie family entirely, just to cultivate a Living Corpse, highlighting their cruel tactics.

No wonder Divine Doctor An Shiping left such words in the Acupoint Seeking Technique, advising to kill the sorcerers on sight. It seems that Divine Doctor An Shiping holds no fondness for these sorcerers.

As time passed waiting, before dark, Ye Qing had Zou Huanglong dismiss the men he brought to avoid scaring the sorcerer away upon seeing military personnel. He then instructed Zou Huanglong, the Little Xie Couple, and the nanny to hide in the basement while he stayed by the child’s side, waiting for the sorcerer’s arrival.

Though rumors claimed sorcerers were terrifying, Ye Qing didn’t feel the slightest worry. After all, with Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun outside, whose abilities rival the Five Uniques, no matter how strong the sorcerers were, they couldn’t match these two. Ye Qing knew that perhaps he wouldn’t even need to act this time; Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun would be enough to deal with the sorcerer. The key was when the sorcerer would arrive.

It was not until midnight that there was any movement outside, causing Ye Qing some doubt. Could it be that Ding Lianshun guessed wrong, and the sorcerer wouldn’t come tonight?

Time ticked by, and just when Ye Qing started feeling a bit anxious, a light sound suddenly came from outside. Ye Qing’s expression changed, and he quickly stood up, hurrying to look outside, only to see a figure rolling on the ground not far from the courtyard. And not far from him stood Ding Lianshun!

Seeing this, Ye Qing couldn’t help feeling pleased, concluding that the figure must be the sorcerer. Ding Lianshun acted fast; the sound Ye Qing heard was likely the sorcerer arriving, and shortly after, Ding Lianshun knocked him down.

Ye Qing immediately turned and picked up the child from the bed, leaping down from the second floor and quickly heading over. After running a few steps, Yin Xianzi rushed over from another direction, urgently saying, ”Don’t go over there!”

Seeing Yin Xianzi’s urgency, Ye Qing instinctively reached into his clothes, intending to scare Yin Xianzi off. Yet, he didn’t know Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun had no plans to target him; in fact, they intended to help him.

Seeing Ye Qing’s reaction, Yin Xianzi merely sneered coldly, saying, ”Ye, there’s no need to worry, I won’t touch you. Stay put, don’t go over there. It’s likely more than one sorcerer has come; another is probably hiding, waiting to ambush.”

”Two sorcerers?” Ye Qing was startled, glancing around warily and asked solemnly, ”How do you know there are two sorcerers?”

Yin Xianzi replied coldly, ”Nonsense, this woman practices the Couple’s Curse; its power peaks when two are together. Generally, sorcerers practicing such couple’s sorcery never separate far. If they must part, they won’t be more than a mile apart.”

”Couple’s Curse?” Ye Qing was further surprised; unfamiliar with sorcery, he naturally didn’t understand what the Couple’s Curse implied. However, listening to Yin Xianzi, he also heightened his vigilance. At a mile’s distance, the other sorcerer certainly knew something had happened here, possibly already lurking, ready to ambush.

Yin Xianzi stood not far from Ye Qing, staying there to guard him. As for Ding Lianshun, boasting courage and skill, he walked right by the fallen sorcerer and stepped on the sorcerer’s arm, breaking it.

The sorcerer let out a cry of pain, flailing her other arm wildly at Ding Lianshun, who remained unmoved. This bewildered the sorcerer even more, and after a while, she finally asked in stunted Huaxia, ”Who... who are you? Why does my sorcery have no effect on you?”

Ding Lianshun gave no reply, merely stomped again, breaking her other arm too. This caused the sorcerer to scream even more, just the effect Ding Lianshun desired. Knowing her husband was hiding nearby, he needed to lure him out; otherwise, this effort would be in vain.

Yet the hidden person was remarkably patient. Even after a long while, there was no activity, leaving the three on the scene puzzled.

Ding Lianshun frowned, turned his head and glanced at Yin Xianzi, and the two nodded to each other. Ding Lianshun suddenly bent over, reached out and lifted the sorcerer from the ground. With force, he directly threw the sorcerer far away, who landed and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, slowly collapsing to the ground.

Ding Lianshun walked over and kicked the sorcerer again, but the sorcerer remained motionless. Ding Lianshun was slightly surprised and bent down to check the sorcerer’s nose, finding no breath at all.

”How can it be like this?” Ding Lianshun was greatly surprised, turned to Yin Xianzi, and said, ”She’s dead!”

”Dead!?” Yin Xianzi’s eyes widened with curiosity, ”Did she just die from that?”

Ding Lianshun grabbed the sorcerer’s arm to check, saying, ”Yes, no breath or pulse!”

Upon hearing this, Yin Xianzi furrowed her brow, looked around solemnly, and said, ”That man is really patient, his wife died here, yet he doesn’t show up. Forget it, looks like we won’t catch him today. Cyclops, throw the woman into the courtyard, and let someone clean up tomorrow.”

Ding Lianshun nodded, picked up the female sorcerer, and threw her directly into the courtyard. Then, he went straight inside with Yin Xianzi.

Ye Qing also returned with the child at this time, and seeing Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi come in, he put one hand into his clothes, pretending to pull a wire, and whispered, ”Mr. Ding, Yin Xianzi, what should we do now?”

Yin Xianzi gestured for silence, and pointed out the window.

Ye Qing didn’t understand what Yin Xianzi meant and looked in the direction she pointed, only seeing the corpse of the female sorcerer in the courtyard, with nothing else. He couldn’t figure out what Yin Xianzi was looking at.

At this time, Ding Lianshun also walked to the window, quietly watching outside from the shadows, as if waiting for something. This made Ye Qing even more curious. He wanted to ask them, but seeing their cautious demeanor, he didn’t dare speak, fearing it would disrupt their plans.

After about half an hour, a subtle footsteps sound came from outside the courtyard. Strangely, Ye Qing heard the footsteps but saw no person.

This puzzled Ye Qing greatly. He clearly heard the sound coming from that direction, yet saw nothing. What could this mean? Moreover, the sound got closer, and eventually, Ye Qing clearly heard the sound coming from the courtyard, but still saw nothing.

Ye Qing looked at Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun next to him. Both were intently watching the courtyard, clearly very alert, yet neither moved, as though waiting for something.

The footsteps outside, after entering the courtyard, didn’t stop, but circled around twice, without anyone understanding what was happening. After two circles, the footsteps suddenly stopped, as if the person stood still. After about five minutes, the footsteps finally moved again, this time heading toward the corpse of the female sorcerer on the ground.

The footsteps stopped beside the female sorcerer’s corpse, and inside, Ding Lianshun immediately grabbed a fruit knife from the table, staring intently at the female sorcerer’s corpse.

Yin Xianzi quietly stepped back, standing in front of Ye Qing, as if protecting him.

Ye Qing didn’t know what was happening, but seeing their serious expressions, he knew it was surely complex. He was most puzzled by hearing footsteps yet seeing no one.

Ye Qing also stared intently at the female sorcerer, knowing that this surely concerned her. Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi were focusing on the corpse, and the footsteps were stopping there, so he needed to find out what was really happening.

The footsteps lingered by the female sorcerer’s corpse for two minutes, and under the tense gaze of the three inside, an astonishing scene occurred!

The female sorcerer’s corpse unexpectedly sat up slowly!
