Urban Martial Saint

The expressions of the three changed drastically. If they were buried in this cave, they would surely be doomed. It seemed that this was the real trump card of the sorcerer. Instead of using sorcery against Ye Qing and the others, he employed such a scheme. It was truly insidious. Ye Qing and the others were caught off guard and found themselves in a perilous situation.

The distance they had come from outside wasn’t far, and if they attempted to rush out, it would take no more than half a minute. However, the cave was rapidly collapsing and wouldn’t give them half a minute to escape. A massive rock at the cave entrance was teetering on the brink of falling, and it seemed that the entrance would soon be sealed.

”Red-Striped Snake, whip!” Mr. Ding suddenly shouted, throwing the child in his arms out without hesitation.

Yin Xianzi and Mr. Ding were in great coordination. Hearing Mr. Ding’s shout, Yin Xianzi immediately grabbed the whip and tossed it to him. Simultaneously, she leaped forward and caught the child in her arms.

Mr. Ding caught the Long Whip and flicked it, causing it to double in length. With a sharp whistle, he lashed out with the whip, wrapping it around a protruding rock ahead. With a powerful pull, he shot forward like a cannonball. Repeating this action several times, he managed to reach the cave entrance just before the giant rock fell.

However, the rock was now extremely unstable, ready to crash down at any moment. Seeing the situation, Mr. Ding leaped up and wrapped the whip around a corner on the other side of the rock, standing on this side of the boulder. With a fierce shout, using his own strength, he managed to hold the giant rock in place.

The weight of the rock surely exceeded a ton. Even with Mr. Ding’s strength, stabilizing it like this caused the veins in his neck to bulge out prominently.

”Run!” Mr. Ding shouted hoarsely; it was clear that he was barely holding on.

Yin Xianzi didn’t say a word, holding the child, leading Ye Qing, sprinting towards the cave entrance at full speed, finally reaching the position.

”Mr. Ding, let me help you!” Ye Qing rushed towards Mr. Ding, only to be grabbed and thrown out by Yin Xianzi.

”Are you looking for death!” Yin Xianzi shouted, turning to aid Mr. Ding. However, at this moment, the stone corner on the other end of the rock broke off, and the rock fell heavily.

Yin Xianzi was lucky to be just outside the perimeter of the rock. Seeing the rock fall, she dared not hesitate and quickly leaped out, barely escaping from the cave. Unfortunately, the rock completely sealed the cave, trapping Mr. Ding inside.

Outside the cave, both Ye Qing and Yin Xianzi were stunned. After a long while, Yin Xianzi went mad and rushed to the cave entrance, pushing the boulder with all her might, shouting loudly, ”Cyclops! Cyclops! Are you okay? Can you hear me? Say something!”

All around was silent, except for Yin Xianzi’s shouting. There was no other sound. It wasn’t that there were no sounds inside the cave; the massive boulder was simply blocking all noise.

Ye Qing was stunned for a while too, then hurried over to help Yin Xianzi push the boulder.

”Mr. Ding! Mr. Ding!” Ye Qing shouted repeatedly. However, at this moment, aside from their own voices, was there anything else they could hear?

The two pushed with all their might against the massive boulder, but it was immense and jammed with many rocks inside. Even if they put their lives on the line, they couldn’t move it. Yet, they didn’t want to give up, desperately trying to push, hoping to rescue Mr. Ding from inside.

Meanwhile, on a distant mountain peak, a couple was watching everything unfold. Seeing the actions of Ye Qing and Yin Xianzi, the man’s mouth curled with a cold smile, whispering, ”You two are quite lucky indeed. I buried so many explosives and still didn’t manage to kill you. Seems like Senior Brother was right; we have to lure you to Beimang Mountain. However, going to Beimang Mountain with just the two of you left, it won’t be so fun.”

”Third Brother, what about the one inside?” asked the woman beside him in a low voice.

”The one inside is definitely dead!” the man sneered. ”I planted explosives throughout the cave. One explosion, and the others will go off in succession. This cave was originally dug out for mining; it was never stable. With so many explosives, the entire cave will collapse, burying everything inside. Even a deity would be buried alive, let alone a person!”

”I see!” the woman exclaimed in realization. ”Third Brother, your plan is brilliant. A slight trick drew these people in. But this pair, their luck is just too great. They’re still alive here; it’s truly not easy. Third Brother, why don’t we think of a way to kill them without having to travel all the way to Beimang Mountain?”

”Senior Brother said that these three are very powerful, the Blood Dragon Couple died by their hands too,” the man said gravely. ”Moreover, I heard the Blood Dragon Couple used Blood Fusion Sorcery at that time and still got killed. We shouldn’t be too careless; we might end up playing with fire and ruin the master’s grand plan, which would be troublesome!”

”Really?” the woman widened her eyes in shock. ”The Blood Dragon Couple... were killed by them? The Blood Fusion Sorcery of the Blood Dragon Couple is a Forbidden Technique spoken of by the Master. Once it’s unleashed, its power might even be above Senior Brother’s Flying Corpse Sorcery. These three actually managed to kill the Blood Dragon Couple? Impossible!”

The man shrugged, saying, ”That’s what Senior Brother’s message said, and undoubtedly their strength isn’t weak. Otherwise, how could this man and woman have escaped from the cave?”

The woman’s eyes flashed with amazement, watching Ye Qing and Yin Xianzi desperately calling out at the cave entrance, her face showing more shock. She had always lived in Nanyang, and in her mind, the Blood Dragon Couple were top figures, unbeatable by anyone. That even the Blood Dragon Couple died at the hands of these three made her gasp in awe. This Huaxia truly was a hidden world of heroes!

Even the man wore an expression of shock. After receiving the message from Senior Brother, he immediately set this trap here. He placed those three bodies in the cave to lure and confuse the trio. The moment those three reached the location of the bodies, escape would be virtually impossible. Yet, he couldn’t have expected that two out of the three actually escaped, which was entirely unforeseen, impressing him with their capabilities. It seemed Senior Brother was correct; these three should not be underestimated!

Now, both Ye Qing and Yin Xianzi were entirely focused on the cave, completely unaware that they were being watched from afar. After trying for over ten minutes, Ye Qing finally realized that relying on just the two of them to rescue Mr. Ding from the cave was virtually impossible. So, he wasted no time and immediately called the military, requesting immediate support.

There were already military personnel nearby, awaiting Ye Qing’s call, ready to assist at any moment. So, shortly after receiving Ye Qing’s call, two trucks arrived, and dozens of fully armed soldiers rushed over.

The two sorcerers on the mountain saw the situation and didn’t linger, turning to leave the area.

Ye Qing explained the situation inside to the military personnel, who immediately sprang into action, working to clear the cave entrance. However, the enormous boulder blocking the entrance couldn’t simply be moved by sheer manpower.

”Mr. Ye, it looks like we need to bring up the tool truck!” the squad leader approached Ye Qing and said, ”That stone at the entrance, it can’t be moved by manpower alone; we’ll need a large crane to hoist it out.”

”Can’t it be pushed inside? What are you people good for if you can’t even muster this bit of strength?” Yin Xianzi anxiously interjected, deeply concerned for Mr. Ding’s uncertain fate inside.

The squad leader glanced at Yin Xianzi, frowning slightly. He understood that Ye Qing’s identity was not simple, but it might not be the same for the other two. Yin Xianzi’s tone naturally put him at unease.

”Yin Xianzi, don’t worry,” Ye Qing hurriedly reassured her. ”Mr. Ding is inside the cave, and we don’t know the specific conditions. Such a huge stone can’t be pushed in recklessly. If it crushes Mr. Ding inside due to the cave’s tight space, that would be disastrous!”

Yin Xianzi realized her panic had clouded her judgment. After hearing Ye Qing’s explanation, she immediately understood and urgently requested the squad leader, ”Then hurry and get the tool truck, okay?”

The squad leader ignored her, only looking at Ye Qing; he was under orders to follow only Ye Qing’s instructions.

”How long will it take to get the tool truck?” Ye Qing asked gravely.

”The terrain here is quite treacherous, not easy for the truck to navigate. Moreover, the stone is large. We require the biggest tool truck, and it might take some time to gather,” the squad leader paused before saying, ”It might take three to five hours at least.”

”That long!” Yin Xianzi’s eyes widened, growing anxious. ”It’s still collapsing inside; can’t you hear it? In three to five hours, who knows what will happen inside? Cyclops will surely die in there by then!”
