Urban Martial Saint

Luan Ping suddenly attacked, which truly startled everyone around, and the previously noisy scene immediately quieted down.

The person hit by Luan Ping was also one of several who came together. Seeing this person killed, those who came with him immediately surrounded him.

”You have a lot of nerve, daring to injure my elder brother. Do you know which family we belong to?” one person shouted angrily. This person was truly foolish, as he hadn’t yet realized that the person had been killed by Luan Ping. He only thought his elder brother was injured, so he wasn’t afraid of Luan Ping.

”Hmph, then which family are you from?” Luan Ping asked with a cold smile.

”Listen well!” The man shouted loudly, proudly glancing at everyone around, and said, ”We are from the Northern Plains’ Huang Family!”

The reputation of the Northern Plains’ Huang Family was rather significant, and upon hearing the name, several people at the scene gasped lightly. This instantly boosted the arrogance of these few people.

The leader glanced sideways at Luan Ping and said, ”Old man, you should have heard of the name of the Northern Plains’ Huang Family. Hmph, daring to touch someone from our Huang Family, I think you’re really tired of living!”

”Northern Plains’ Huang Family?” Luan Ping thought for a moment and said, ”There’s someone in the Northern Plains named Huang Tianfeng, do you know him?”

”Huang Tianfeng? That name sounds somewhat familiar,” the man muttered under his breath.

”Our great-grandfather’s name seems... seems to be Huang Tianfeng...” one person whispered.

”Yes, no wonder it sounds so familiar!” The man immediately reacted, glanced at Luan Ping, and then shook his head: ”Impossible, our great-grandfather hasn’t been around for over seventy years. Even if it was someone he knew back then, it doesn’t make sense for them to live this long. The Huang Tianfeng this person is talking about can’t be our great-grandfather!”

Although these people spoke softly, Luan Ping heard them clearly. A trace of a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, ”So, Huang Tianfeng is your great-grandfather, huh? Hahaha, I thought it was some other Huang Family, turns out it’s Huang Tianfeng’s Huang Family!”

”You... you dare to directly call our great-grandfather by name, old man, you’re seeking death!” The man shouted angrily.

”Hmph, what is Huang Tianfeng? Calling him by name is already considering him. Back then, he didn’t even have the qualification to fight with me. Unexpectedly, his descendants are still so arrogant, daring to act boastfully in front of me. The descendants of Huang Tianfeng really have guts, growing bolder with each generation!”

Luan Ping’s words immediately caused an uproar, with many staring at him astonished, discussing the truth of his words. It’s known that anyone referred to as ’great-grandfather’ by the Huang Family must be quite old. Yet, according to Luan Ping, he didn’t regard Huang Tianfeng highly at all, which makes people ponder what Luan Ping’s identity actually is!

”You... you dare insult our great-grandfather...” The man shouted angrily, suddenly drawing his blade and charged at Luan Ping, roaring: ”I’ll kill you first!”

Before the man reached him, Luan Ping struck with a palm across the air, and the man felt a powerful force hitting him, involuntarily flying backward. While still in the air, he began spewing blood, and upon landing, he was already dead.

This moment was clearly witnessed by everyone, including those from the Huang Family. Luan Ping, with a single palm across the air, caused the man to bleed to death. Even those from the Huang Family, lacking sharp judgment, understood that the old man before them was someone they could not handle!

”Who... who exactly are you?” one person from the Huang Family asked tremblingly.

Luan Ping didn’t respond; he only looked at his hands and sighed softly. The last time at the entrance of the Demon Hideout Cave, he lost a lot of Inner Strength due to the Corpse Ghost Dragon, significantly reducing his Cultivation Power. Although he still maintained the strength of a Peak Master, he was far from his former self. The palm just now, he originally intended to shatter all the bones of that man. However, the man only had some broken ribs, not serving as a stronger deterrent.

”You ignorant trash!” the man beside Luan Ping immediately stood up and said aloud: ”Listen clearly, this is the Prince Nalan’s martial uncle, the Peak Master who gained fame a century ago, Grandmaster of a Generation, Luan Ping!”

”Luan Ping!?” Most of the people on the scene hadn’t heard this name, but several of the older ones suddenly changed their expressions.

”Is it... really Luan Ping?”

”Luan Ping is still alive?”

”Fifty years ago, people said he was already dead, how could he live this long?”

”If he’s still alive now, he must be very old. Over one hundred and thirty years old, right?”

”Is this person really Luan Ping?”

Those who heard Luan Ping’s name discussed it incessantly. And those who hadn’t heard of Luan Ping didn’t know about his deeds, but clearly heard one thing: Luan Ping is the Prince Nalan’s martial uncle!

Prince Nalan’s strength is, of course, beyond question. Most importantly, Prince Nalan is the eldest and most senior among the Five Unmatches of the World. His martial uncle must undoubtedly be of considerable age and strength as well. How could they possibly deal with such a figure?

Seeing the shock on everyone’s faces, the person beside Luan Ping was even more pleased. He glanced at these people and said, ”The name of the person behind will truly scare you to death!”

”Ah?” Everyone was stunned again, turning to look at the Corpse Ghost Dragon and others behind, no one really knowing the identity of the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

”Then... who is the peak master behind there?” someone who was a bit bolder cautiously asked.

”Hmph, peak master? Are you insulting our Grand Master?” Luan Ping’s subordinate glared at the person.

”How... how did I insult him?” The person asking the question still didn’t know what had happened.

”The Grand Master’s strength far surpasses the peak masters of the world. You’re actually comparing the Grand Master to a peak master? Isn’t that insulting to the Grand Master?”

”What? Far surpass a peak master? How is that possible?”

”Yeah, isn’t a peak master supposed to be the limit of human power? How could there be someone beyond a peak master?”

”How could anyone surpass the peak masters?”

Everyone discussed fervently, becoming even more curious about the identity of the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

”This Grand Master, what exactly is his identity?” people cautiously asked.

”Listen carefully!” Luan Ping’s subordinate looked at everyone triumphantly and said loudly, ”This Grand Master is the first sorcerer of Nanyang, the number one expert in the world, an invincible force, the Great Necromancer of the Corpse Ghost Dragon!”

”The Corpse Ghost Dragon!?”

The moment these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. Most people had heard of the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s name and naturally knew his strength. Saying his strength surpasses peak masters, truly no one refuted it. Just mentioning this name could indeed terrify everyone present.

”Now that you know the identity of our Grand Master, why don’t you quickly make way!” Luan Ping’s subordinate suddenly glared and said, ”Our Grand Master personally coming over here, does this Medicine King Mountain have any place for you? Not to mention you, even if the Five Unmatches of the World came here, they wouldn’t be a match for a finger of our Grand Master. You useless people still dare to block the way, are you truly tired of living?”

Hearing these words, no one dared to retort or get angry. Everyone immediately cleared the way, swiftly and without any hesitation. Especially that Northern Plains’ Huang Family from before, whose family had lost two members, yet they no longer spoke of revenge, carrying the two bodies as they left in disgrace.

After these people cleared out, those people ran back to the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s side, nodding and bowing to invite the Corpse Ghost Dragon to the small woodland. These people weren’t controlled by the Corpse Ghost Dragon, but rather willingly did his bidding, adept at using another’s power to intimidate.

The Corpse Ghost Dragon didn’t even give a sidelong glance at those present, because there wasn’t even a top-level master here, and he didn’t intend to pay attention to these people. He walked to the edge of the small woodland, looked carefully at it, suddenly frowned, and said in wonder, ”The formation of this small woodland is somewhat strange.”

”How is it strange?” Luan Ping quickly asked.

”This small woodland seems to be set up using the Odd Door Bagua of the Taoist Sect. But in fact, the core of the formation is a Demon Sect formation!” the Corpse Ghost Dragon said in a deep voice.

Luan Ping naturally couldn’t discern these things. He looked at the woodland and exclaimed in surprise, ”Does the Grand Master also study formations?”

”Hmph, in this world, what could possibly stump me, the Corpse Ghost Dragon!” the Corpse Ghost Dragon said proudly, ”Before entering the Hidden Demon Cave, I had already studied many things from the Demon Sect. This formation cannot escape my eyes; the core of this formation is undoubtedly a Demon Sect formation!”

”What is the purpose of a Demon Sect formation?” Luan Ping asked curiously.

”As for its specific purpose, there isn’t one. However, from this formation, it can be seen that the person who set it up back then intentionally concealed their identity. This person must have practiced martial arts from the Demon Sect, or may even be from the Demon Sect. But to prevent others from knowing his identity, he deliberately set up a Taoist formation!” the Corpse Ghost Dragon paused and said, ”However, setting up a formation is one thing, but being able to harness external power is another. Although he could set up the shape of a Taoist formation, where could he get the power required to operate the formation?”

”Does operating a formation require power?” Luan Ping was even more shocked; he had never heard of such a thing.

”Of course!” the Corpse Ghost Dragon said, ”Any formation needs power to be maintained; otherwise, it has no effect. This person is of the Demon Sect; although he set up the Taoist formation, he had no way of supplementing this great formation with the external power connected by the Taoists. So, he used the Demon Sect’s method of attracting external power to operate this great formation.”
