Urban Martial Saint

Helian Tiehua suddenly rushed out, exceeding speed limits, almost instantly reaching the elder. Despite the elder’s speed, he couldn’t react or dodge, and Helian Tiehua battered his chest heavily, while the elder’s fist hadn’t even touched Helian Tiehua, his whole body flew backward, landing over ten meters away.

A Stone’s Throw Away!

The Unique Skill passed down from Patriarch Bodhidharma, taking cues from the Taoist Sect’s Earth Shrinking Skill. A distance of over ten meters, reached in the blink of an eye, striking instantly, catching people off guard.

Even though the elder was very powerful, he never imagined in his wildest dreams that Helian Tiehua would have such a trump card.

In fact, Helian Tiehua had been planning this move for a long time. Earlier, Helian Tiehua said he would defeat him within five moves just to confuse him. Helian Tiehua wasn’t arrogant enough to believe five moves could defeat this elder, but during those five moves, the elder was indeed highly alert and cautious, genuinely afraid Helian Tiehua had some Unique Skill.

After the five moves, the elder thought Helian Tiehua was out of tricks, so he wasn’t as vigilant, even getting a bit careless. He thought Helian Tiehua was just bluffing, so he made his moves without defense. Added to this, Helian Tiehua had been building momentum for a long time, and when he charged toward him, he wasn’t vigilant at all. As a result, he fell for it.

”Pfft!” Even for someone of the elder’s prowess, it was hard to endure this attack. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face exuding a corpse-like grayness, and the deathly aura intensified on him, indicating that the damage this strike inflicted on him was not light.

Everyone at the scene was stunned, and after a while, people from the Seven Families started cheering.

If Helian Tiehua had lost, the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance would surely have been demoralized. However, with Helian Tiehua’s victory, the morale of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance skyrocketed immediately. After all, the elder’s strength and seniority were too formidable, and Helian Tiehua’s victory over him would definitely elevate his fame significantly!

Even the people from the Seven Families, at this moment, forgot the earlier battles and the losses to their families, and forgot the words of blame towards Helian Tiehua from before. At this moment, it felt as though they themselves had triumphed, and everyone’s expressions were extremely exhilarated!

With a successful strike, Helian Tiehua stood upright. His majestic towering figure in the dark of night was like a mountain standing tall, making everyone have to look up with reverence.

At this moment, whether friends or foes of Helian Tiehua, all had to admire him. The General of Meng District truly is an invincible figure!

The elder, after taking the blow, was heavily injured. Although he had struck Helian Tiehua numerous times earlier, the damage inflicted wasn’t significant. Conversely, Helian Tiehua’s strike directly hit the vital spot, accumulating and releasing his power. It can be said that all his previous blows on Helian Tiehua, summed together, were far less potent than Helian Tiehua’s single strike.

The elder wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, barely getting up from the ground, glaring at Helian Tiehua and said in a deep voice, ”What kind of Martial Arts is this?”

”A Stone’s Throw Away!” Helian Tiehua looked at the elder, calmly saying, ”A Unique Skill left behind by Patriarch Bodhidharma!”

”So it’s a Unique Skill left by Patriarch Bodhidharma!” The elder’s eyes shone with brilliance, saying, ”How did you obtain this move?”

”Hmph!” Helian Tiehua snorted coldly, saying, ”You’re quite greedy, aren’t you? I told you the name and origin of this technique, and you still want to know how I got it? Should I teach you this move too?”

The elder, mocked by Helian Tiehua in such a way, didn’t change his expression, and through his gritted teeth, said, ”Helian Tiehua, your move today was a sneak attack. Next time, you won’t be so lucky!”

”That depends on how long you can live.” Helian Tiehua said coldly, ”When I struck you just now, I already sensed that most of your internal organs were rotten, your meridians began to rupture, and your Inner Strength was in disarray, your lifespan was already limited. Now that you suffered my strike, I fear you won’t live to face me for another showdown!”

The elder’s expression changed several times in an instant, taking a deep breath, coldly saying, ”Helian Tiehua, you are indeed much shrewder than your grandfather King Helian. Looks like I underestimated you. However, since I dared to emerge this time, it means I have the means to extend my life. Next time we meet, I’ll definitely kill you myself!”

After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly turned and dashed away like a ghost. His speed was only slightly slower than before but still incredibly fast, impossible for an average person to keep up with.

The people from the Seven Families were initially confused as to why Helian Tiehua didn’t take the chance to kill this old man. Now they finally understood, it wasn’t that Helian Tiehua didn’t want to kill the old man, but that he knew he couldn’t catch up with him, so he didn’t waste his time.

Seeing the old man leave, Prince Nalan, who was engaged in a duel with the Bloody Monk, also changed his expression, shouted ”Master Uncle,” faked a move, and turned to chase after the old man.

”Trying to run!” the Bloody Monk shouted, as the Blood Cassock once again enveloped him, clamping down toward Prince Nalan.

Prince Nalan was already prepared, with a flick of his long sleeves, he fended off the Blood Cassock, using the momentum to dash forward several meters. However, the Bloody Monk was no ordinary character. Taking advantage of the time, he pursued and reached for Prince Nalan’s collar with his right hand.

Prince Nalan just wanted to escape quickly this time, not intending to linger in battle. However, the Bloody Monk’s strength was on par with his, and after several attempts, he still couldn’t shake him off. Finally, he gritted his teeth and struck out with two palms at the Bloody Monk, hoping to force him back.

”Trying to run comes with a price!” the Bloody Monk coldly shouted, charging straight at Prince Nalan’s two palms. But when he was about to reach him, he suddenly reversed his hand and grabbed Prince Nalan’s wrist.

”Ha!” With a loud shout, Prince Nalan pushed both palms over with all his might. Since he couldn’t escape, he might as well injure the Bloody Monk.

But just as he exerted all his strength, the Bloody Monk suddenly leaped up and landed behind him. In this way, he directly shook off the Bloody Monk. However, this also exposed his back completely. He could either turn around immediately to resist, in which case he wouldn’t be able to escape, or take a hit and seize the opportunity to flee!

Several thoughts quickly flashed through Prince Nalan’s mind, but he ultimately decided not to turn around. Feeling a strong wind approaching from behind, he activated all his cultivation power to forcefully block the strike, and using this force, he rushed forward over ten meters, disappearing in a few leaps.

The Bloody Monk did not pursue further, as his strike to Prince Nalan’s back was enough to incapacitate him for a week. To chase him was uncertain, and their strength was comparable; he might not be able to kill Prince Nalan and didn’t want to waste time. Besides, with both Prince Nalan and the old man fleeing together, chasing them alone could lead to being ambushed by the two, which would be truly dangerous.

The members of Sha Men, seeing the Bloody Monk prevail, cheered excitedly. However, many were seriously injured, so their cheers were naturally not as loud as those from the Seven Families.

But as the Bloody Monk returned victorious, the members of Sha Men finally exhaled a sigh of relief. With the Bloody Monk present, they felt at ease, as if they had taken a reassuring pill; who could possibly harm them now?

Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk returned to their respective camps simultaneously. Helian Tiehua glanced around the scene, noting that Prince Nalan’s men had already left amidst the chaos. Especially Northern Martial Zen and others, these were very cunning individuals. Upon seeing the old man injured by Helian Tiehua, they knew things were going south and immediately fled. Thus, only a few of Prince Nalan’s men remained, and their strength wasn’t notable, merely serving as extra hands; retaining them was pointless.

The Wanyan Family ran off, as did Prince Nalan’s subordinates. The main forces left were the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance and Sha Men. Other scattered figures, while some were indeed experts, stood no chance with Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk present. Previously, they had teamed up with Prince Wan Yan Bei Wuchen and others to besiege the people of Sha Men and the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance, yet now they were left trembling in fear. Under the pressure of Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk, not a single person dared entertain the thought of escape; they could only stand there, waiting for Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk’s judgment.

Helian Tiehua took a deep breath and declared loudly, ”Everyone has seen, the Sun Shooting Bow has been taken by Huangfu Ziyu and now belongs to our Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance. Since the Sun Shooting Bow has acknowledged its owner, this matter is concluded. Today, aside from the grievances with the Wanyan Family and Nalan Family, my Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance will not hold anyone else accountable. However, next time, I do not wish to see anyone present taking action against us. Otherwise, my Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance will show no mercy!”

Helian Tiehua’s voice was loud, like a mighty bell, spreading throughout the entire area, echoing intensely.

The people present were still worried about how Helian Tiehua would deal with them, but hearing this, they were overjoyed. Helian Tiehua not holding them accountable was a huge relief, naturally easing their spirits significantly.

However, some people did not feel as relieved. This was only spoken by Helian Tiehua; the Bloody Monk had yet to comment. Compared to Helian Tiehua, the Bloody Monk was truly a killer demon. Even if Helian Tiehua spared those present, would the Bloody Monk do the same? Therefore, many eyes secretly focused on the Bloody Monk, wondering how he intended to handle them.

Only if the Bloody Monk spared them could they truly be at ease. If the Bloody Monk did not, then everything Helian Tiehua said would be for nothing.
