Urban Martial Saint

The poisonous insects, driven by Master Naikun’s Blood Curse, became far more frenzied than before. Previously, they only attacked with their venom, but now they had turned into beasts, starting to bite people.

A few sorcerers, lacking the necessary strength, were bitten by these poisonous insects, and in just a short time, were gnawed until their flesh and blood were indistinguishable. The remaining sorcerers, some had been bitten but were still holding on with difficulty. Although others had not been bitten, seeing the number of poisonous insects surrounding them, they could not escape.

These sorcerers, one after another, had faces ashen with fear and despair in their eyes. They were well aware of Master Naikun’s Ten Thousand Insects Curse strength. Moreover, with Master Naikun’s self-mutilation, sacrificing an arm and an eye to cast a powerful Blood Curse, it further amplified this Ten Thousand Insects Curse by many times. Now that they were surrounded, how could they possibly survive?

Ye Qing stood at the back. He had several poisonous insects crawling on him. Although bitten a few times, he held Mu Ling, rendering the poisonous effects ineffective against him. All he had to do now was prevent these poisonous insects from covering his entire body, and he could still survive.

Compared to the others, Shen Tianjun was in a much better situation. Despite the poisonous insects becoming increasingly frenzied, they dared not approach him, let alone bite him. However, Shen Tianjun was hesitating; Master Naikun protected himself with Bone-Attaching Maggots to escape, leaving so many poisonous insects behind. If he went to pursue Master Naikun, the people here would certainly not escape disaster.

Just as Master Naikun said, if these poisonous insects spread, the entire town could be wiped out. These insects couldn’t harm him or Ye Qing, but one insect’s venom could kill dozens of ordinary citizens. How many people are there in this town, or even this city?

After a moment of silence, Shen Tianjun suddenly turned around, taking a few steps to reach Ye Qing’s side. He stretched out his right hand, grabbed Ye Qing by the shoulder, lifted him, and in a few leaps, jumped out of the encirclement of the poisonous insects.

”Uncle Shen, I’m fine, save those sorcerers first!” Ye Qing whispered, ”Saving them now could help us learn how to unlock the Devouring Demon Flower.”

”I know!” Shen Tianjun nodded, ”Get out now and immediately bring all the gasoline and diesel you can find here.”

Ye Qing was slightly taken aback but quickly understood Shen Tianjun’s intention. Shen Tianjun planned to incinerate the poisonous insects. It was no surprise; with so many insects, if some escaped, it would surely cause numerous casualties, so they had to be completely eradicated. However, with so many, killing them one by one, not even with the Five Unmatches of the World here, could they manage. The best method is to use fire to burn down the entire villa, which would naturally solve the problem of these insects.

”Okay!” Ye Qing nodded in agreement, turned around, and ran out of the manor without another word.

Meanwhile, Shen Tianjun ran into the midst of those poisonous insects, pulling out several sorcerers who had not yet been bitten and threw them outside the manor. Of course, he didn’t completely trust these sorcerers. When tossing them out, he had left some measures behind, pressing their acupoints to ensure they couldn’t escape amidst the chaos.

As for the sorcerers who were bitten, Shen Tianjun didn’t save them first because he knew they were essentially doomed. The insect’s venom, known as Blood-Sealed Throat, was lethal; although these sorcerers had some resistance to poison, they couldn’t hold out for long. Even if Ye Qing returned with Mu Ling, those people would already be dead, making saving them meaningless. It was better to rescue those who could still be saved.

As Shen Tianjun had suspected, after saving the sorcerers who hadn’t been bitten, all the others fell to the ground, their bodies covered with poisonous insects, most of them already dead. Those who barely survived were severely injured and close to death, leaving the scene in a miserable state.

Most critically, the poisonous insects were still agitated, and after killing the sorcerers, they lost their targets and, without Master Naikun’s control, started to scatter, looking for new targets.

Seeing the situation, Shen Tianjun was frantic, running around to herd the insects to the middle of the manor to prevent them from escaping. But even with Shen Tianjun’s acme strength, faced with a dense swarm of poisonous insects, he couldn’t possibly stop them all alone.

The situation was nearly out of control when suddenly, from afar, came the roar of engines. Vehicles stopped outside the manor, and Ye Qing climbed onto the wall, shouting, ”Uncle Shen, I’ve brought the town’s oil truck. I’ve circled the manor, and now the surroundings are soaked with gasoline.”

”Good!” Shen Tianjun was overjoyed, ”Drive the truck in; we must ensure the entire manor burns down!”

”Got it!” Ye Qing jumped off the wall, and soon, an oil truck crashed through the gate and drove in. Behind it, gasoline was continuously pouring out.

Ye Qing drove the car around the manor several times, thoroughly spreading the gasoline evenly. Only then did he quickly get out of the car and run with Shen Tianjun out of the manor.

Those sorcerers were still lying not far outside the manor. Shen Tianjun had hit their acupoints, so they had no strength at all, let alone the ability to escape.

Shen Tianjun went over to drag all the sorcerers aside, and Ye Qing immediately threw a torch into the gasoline. Soon, the entire manor was engulfed in flames, with thick, foul odors wafting out, the smell of those poisonous insects and corpses being burned.

People living in the surrounding houses had already been driven away by Ye Qing when he drove over. They didn’t know what had happened yet, so some were preparing to come over to put out the fire when they saw the flames, but Ye Qing stopped them. Others were calling the police, but the police department had already been informed by the State Security Department and wouldn’t dispatch any officers.

The State Security Department was well aware that Ye Qing and the others were dealing with those sorcerers this time, and that it wouldn’t be a small operation. Therefore, everything had been arranged in advance to prevent any major chaos.

Ye Qing and Shen Tianjun stood around the manor, watching it burn down, and seeing that not a single poisonous insect crawled out, they were slightly relieved. As for pursuing Master Naikun, they were not in a hurry since there was still that masked elder guarding behind them. Even if Master Naikun kept protecting himself with Bone-Attaching Maggots and the masked elder couldn’t attack him directly, he could still follow him. No matter how powerful Master Naikun was, how long could he last surrounded by Bone-Attaching Maggots?

After arranging everything, more than an hour had passed, and then the two of them walked over to the remaining sorcerers.

Originally, there were fifty or sixty sorcerers around Master Naikun, but now there were only six or seven left alive outside. All the others had died within the manor. Although these six or seven survived by sheer luck, each of them felt utterly dejected and hopeless.

These sorcerers had followed Master Naikun into Huaxia, intending to unseal the Corpse Ghost Dragon. With the power of the Corpse Ghost Dragon, if they could seize the opportunity to enter the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, they would inevitably dominate the world. They could then share in the glory and riches. However, none of them expected Master Naikun to harbor ill intentions, and surviving at all was already fortunate.

Now seeing Ye Qing and Shen Tianjun, these sorcerers were filled with terror and panic. After all, they had also killed many innocent civilians after entering Huaxia, and they feared Ye Qing and Shen Tianjun might question them about it.

Ye Qing and Shen Tianjun stood in front of these sorcerers for a long time without saying a word, intending to exert psychological pressure on them. With pressure, it would be easier to question them about certain matters later.

Seeing the expressions of these sorcerers nearing breakdown, Ye Qing and Shen Tianjun exchanged a glance and smiled secretly. These sorcerers were very anxious, making it easier to get the answers they wanted.

Of course, Ye Qing and Shen Tianjun didn’t directly question these few sorcerers. With just a glance at each other, they understood each other’s intentions.

Ye Qing walked straight over, grabbed one of the sorcerers, and dragged him aside.

”What... what are you doing? What are you doing?” The sorcerer was in a panic, almost scared to wet his pants. The other sorcerers were also full of panic, their limbs trembling as they watched Ye Qing. No one knew what awaited them, but everyone’s heart was in their throat.

Ye Qing took the sorcerer to a corner, ensuring the others couldn’t hear their conversation, then looked at the sorcerer he brought over and asked in a deep voice, ”Do you want to return to Nanyang alive?”

This sorcerer, after experiencing the earlier events, had lost all his previous arrogance and just wanted to cling desperately to life. Being stared at by Ye Qing and Shen Tianjun had already made his heart pound. Now hearing Ye Qing’s words, he nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick, speaking with a trembling voice, ”Yes, I beg you, don’t... don’t kill me...”

”Not wanting to die is easy!” Ye Qing maintained a calm expression, eyeing the sorcerer up and down, and said, ”You just need to answer a few questions for me, and I’ll release you, allowing you to return safely to Nanyang!”
