Urban Martial Saint

Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun had actually been watching the situation from the shadows all along. Originally, the plan between him and Ye Qing was to act after Ye Qing had lured out Master Nai Kun. However, he noticed earlier that Ye Qing was trying to trick Master Nai Kun into talking, so he held back and did not make a move. When he saw Master Nai Kun about to deal with Ye Qing, he could no longer hide and struck out with a punch to force Master Nai Kun back.

In his early years, Shen Tianjun had been to Nanyang and had met this Master Nai Kun several times. With Shen Tianjun’s strength, Master Nai Kun was deeply impressed by him. So, upon seeing Shen Tianjun, Master Nai Kun recognized him at once, and his heart tightened. Dealing with Ye Qing was not really difficult, but with Shen Tianjun in the mix, escaping was his only option.

”After all these years, you still haven’t improved at all.” Shen Tianjun looked at Master Nai Kun and slowly shook his head, saying, ”You’re ambitious, but short-sighted. No wonder your fellow disciples don’t trust you. Nai Kun, with your suspicious and selfish nature, you’ll never accomplish anything big!”

Master Nai Kun’s expression was cold as he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, ”Shen Tianjun, don’t think just because you’re powerful that you can lecture me. You may be slightly stronger than I am, but killing me is impossible. I advise you not to meddle in my affairs, or else, when I’m pushed to the edge, I’ll attack Shen Family Manor and see how many people can survive my Ten Thousand Insects Curse!”

”It seems that my trip here was not in vain!” Shen Tianjun’s face turned slightly cold as he said, ”Nai Kun, you are vicious and have killed countless people, your evil deeds are beyond measure. Today, by coming to Huaxia to slaughter innocent civilians, if I let you go, wouldn’t it bring shame upon Huaxia for having no one worthy?”

After speaking, Shen Tianjun ignored the poisonous insects on the ground and walked straight toward Master Nai Kun.

”Uncle Shen!” Seeing that Shen Tianjun was about to step on those poisonous insects, Ye Qing quickly took out the Mu Ling in his hand, preparing to throw it over for Shen Tianjun to use. However, as Shen Tianjun’s foot landed on the ground, an astonishing scene unfolded.

The snakes, worms, rats, and ants that covered the ground seemed terribly afraid of Shen Tianjun. Just before his foot landed, they scattered in a panic, not daring to stay even for a fraction of a second. Wherever Shen Tianjun’s foot landed, those creatures quickly fled, leaving a clear path for him. In this way, as Shen Tianjun walked, he carved out a passage, and it looked very strange.

Ye Qing widened his eyes in shock. He didn’t expect Shen Tianjun to possess such a capability, causing the snakes, worms, rats, and ants to hastily scurry away. Apparently, Shen Tianjun didn’t even need the Mu Ling.

Upon careful reflection, it’s no wonder Ning Qianshu’s poison techniques are so formidable, yet his fame can’t surpass the Five Uniques of the World. It seems that at the realm of the Five Uniques, those poisonous substances are no longer effective against them at all, and Shen Tianjun is living proof of that!

The Five Uniques of the World indeed have distinct qualities!

As Shen Tianjun slowly approached, Master Nai Kun frowned, his hands behind his back silently making several gestures, secretly casting several sorcery spells. However, he was still very uneasy because he was clear about Shen Tianjun’s strength, which was absolutely beyond his ability to resist. His Ten Thousand Insects Curse had no effect on Shen Tianjun, so all he could do was flee. But escaping under Shen Tianjun’s keen watch was nothing simple!

Shen Tianjun’s steps appeared slow, but in fact, his pace was quite fast. In just a few steps, he stood in front of Master Nai Kun. Shen Tianjun’s face remained calm as he slowly pushed his palm toward Master Nai Kun, without the slightest hint of tricks or techniques. Although this palm was slow, even a street thug could easily dodge it, let alone a master like Master Nai Kun.

But faced with Shen Tianjun’s palm, Master Nai Kun was covered in sweat, an expression of grave seriousness on his face. He did not dare to evade nor knew how to counter; the Mighty Power Curse was pushed to its limit, yet his hands shifted several positions in front of his chest, feeling perpetual unease. He considered dodging several times but abandoned the thought, realizing that Shen Tianjun’s palm concealed countless follow-up moves. Any slight movement from him would immediately be met with Shen Tianjun’s counter, making it impossible for him to escape in front of Shen Tianjun.

Seeing Shen Tianjun’s palm getting closer, Master Nai Kun gritted his teeth and, with a mighty shout, swung a heavy fist in counterattack. He did not block Shen Tianjun’s palm but rather bypassed it, aiming instead at Shen Tianjun’s chest. Not knowing how to evade, he resorted to the simplest method, hoping to force Shen Tianjun to step back. In fact, he knew his move was ineffective; he just wanted to compel Shen Tianjun to change his attack, seeking an opportunity to counter.

Just as Master Naikun anticipated, as soon as he threw a punch, Shen Tianjun switched direction with his palm, using his wrist to hook Naikun’s fist. At the same time, Shen Tianjun’s palm accelerated and struck towards Naikun’s chest.

Master Naikun was prepared. Seeing Shen Tianjun switch moves and his hand speed suddenly increasing, Naikun let out a loud roar and quickly swung his left hand horizontally towards Shen Tianjun. Shen Tianjun was close, making it seemingly impossible for him to dodge this time.

Ye Qing saw this clearly, and his heart couldn’t help but tighten. Master Naikun was currently the strongest sorcerer in Nanyang, and in his left hand were certainly items specially used in sorcery, likely poisons, which he confidently believed could harm Shen Tianjun. At such a close distance, how could Shen Tianjun possibly dodge?

Yet, at this critical moment, Shen Tianjun showed no intention of dodging, instead flashing a slight smile, completely confident and calm.

This slight smile caused Master Naikun, standing in front of him, to suddenly feel a jolt in his heart, accompanied by a foreboding sensation. However, he had no time to think further, releasing whatever poisons were in his hand to throw. But then, in a surprising turn, his hand, originally swung towards Shen Tianjun, inexplicably changed direction toward himself. At that moment, his hand was just about to release, meaning the contents were flung directly at himself.

A plume of white mist enveloped Master Naikun’s head entirely, obscuring his features from others. Only his piercing screams were heard from within, as though he had suffered the utmost agonizing pain.

Simultaneously, Shen Tianjun’s palm struck Master Naikun squarely in the chest. The palm moved quickly, hit with great force, leading everyone to believe Master Naikun would be blown away. Yet, nothing of the sort transpired. Master Naikun remained standing while Shen Tianjun stepped back several paces, escaping the vicinity before the white mist could settle.

This sequence of events occurred in a blink of an eye, leaving everyone present stunned in disbelief. Especially Ye Qing, who clearly saw everything, wonderstruck that when Master Naikun was just about to sprinkle the poison powder, Master Naikun inexplicably turned his own hand, causing all the poison to land on his own face. Shen Tianjun had never touched Master Naikun’s hand; how could this happen? Moreover, Shen Tianjun’s palm failed to send Naikun flying, a truly unforeseen development. Was Shen Tianjun’s palm lacking power?

Amidst the astonished gazes, Shen Tianjun remained composed, as though he had foreseen these happenings. He spoke not a word, nor did anyone else dare make a sound, with only Master Naikun’s exceptionally distressing cries echoing, as though the pain cut to the bone!

”This... is Brother’s exclusive Bone-Attaching Maggots, extracted from bodies poisoned to death,” murmured a sorcerer after some time: ”These Bone-Attaching Maggots, their eggs cultivate uniquely by Brother’s method, upon contact with a person’s body, they directly incubate, penetrate into bones within mere breaths, with pain deep to the bone!”

These sorcerers admiring Master Naikun’s sorcery were extremely shaken upon witnessing him afflicted by Bone-Attaching Maggots. But having broken ties with him earlier, none pitied him, instead shocked at the maggots’ power. Whether Master Naikun could survive was already uncertain.

As everyone watched, Master Naikun staggered out from the mist, cries unending.

”Ah!” Tama, standing behind him, was the first to see his appearance, shrieking in horror, instinctively retreating a step. However, she tripped on the steps, stumbled onto the ground amidst the poisonous insects.

The ground everywhere was swarming with poisonous insects, densely packed. Initially, these insects didn’t attack without Master Naikun’s orders. But with Tama falling amongst them, they stirred into frenzy, some even pouncing to bite her.

”Ah, Brother! Brother!” Tama cried out in terror, covered in various poisonous insects. She rolled back and forth trying to get them off but had no success, while more insects crawled onto her.
