Urban Martial Saint

Bloody Monk and that Peak Master are locked in combat, while Wolf Monk faces off against Luan Ping. The four Peak Masters are tangled in a chaotic battle, the spectacle and power unimaginable; the Sha Men people have retreated far away, unable to withstand the turbulent force.

Luan Ping was originally very strong, even above Bloody Monk. However, after being drained of Inner Strength by Corpse Ghost Dragon, his power significantly declined, making his fight with Wolf Monk evenly matched.

As for the other Peak Master, though a contemporary of Luan Ping, his strength was not as formidable. Engaged with Bloody Monk, the two are evenly matched, fighting to a standstill.

However, neither Bloody Monk nor Wolf Monk dares to be careless because Shen Qianyue stands nearby. Shen Qianyue possesses top-tier strength, and if he attacks the Sha Men people, they would have no means to resist.

Yet, Shen Qianyue shows no intention of attacking the Sha Men crowd. As the four Peak Masters confront each other, he walks to the side and stands still, pulling out a small porcelain bottle, its contents unknown. He opens the bottle and slowly fans the mouth of the bottle with his hand, as if trying to disperse the fragrance inside.

The location of the four Peak Masters happens to be directly in the direction the scent travels. With Shen Qianyue’s actions, everyone smells an extremely strange fragrance, so peculiar it evokes a nameless agitation within, their moves becoming more frenzied.

Among them, Bloody Monk’s reaction is the most apparent. His complexion turns crimson, as if blood could drip out, his expression becoming ferocious, tightly clenching his teeth, no one knowing what has transpired.

Wolf Monk notices Bloody Monk’s odd behavior and exclaims, ”Brother, what’s happening to you?”

Bloody Monk opens his mouth wide, resembling a beast, emitting a resounding roar. Suddenly, he sharply turns his head towards Cui Yu and others in the distance, yelling, ”Go!”

Cui Yu and the others are stunned, and Cui Yu urgently says, ”Sect Leader...”

”Quickly leave!” Bloody Monk roars again, at this moment, his voice truly resembles that of a wild beast. His eyes alternate between crimson and pure white, his entire being appears as a demon, terrifying to behold.

The Sha Men crowd looks at each other, unaware of Bloody Monk’s condition. But Wolf Monk realizes something’s wrong and urgently shouts, ”You all better run, flee as far away as possible!”

Only now does the Sha Men crowd come to their senses, none daring to defy, turning to escape. Right at this moment, Bloody Monk lets out another roar, like a raging beast, howling to the sky, ”You leave too!”

”Who?” Wolf Monk asks in surprise, ”Me?”

”You leave too!” Bloody Monk roars again, clearly addressing Wolf Monk.

”I won’t leave!” Wolf Monk shakes his head resolutely, solemnly saying, ”Brother, what’s happening to you?”

”Hahaha…” Shen Qianyue laughs, head held high, saying, ”What’s happening? Wolf Monk, do you know how he massacred Xiaolin Temple back then?”

”What?” Wolf Monk is astonished, puzzled by Shen Qianyue’s words.

At this moment, Bloody Monk is clearly nearing loss of control. His movements are slower, his steps staggered.

The Peak Master battling him sees such an opportunity, unwilling to miss it, immediately rushing forward, striking Bloody Monk with several consecutive blows.

”Brother!” Wolf Monk exclaims in shock, quickly trying to assist Bloody Monk but is blocked by Luan Ping.

”Planning to gang up on one?” Luan Ping sneers, saying, ”Perhaps soon, but not now!”

Luan Ping’s meaning is clear: wanting to help Bloody Monk is impossible. Soon, once Bloody Monk is defeated, then they can gang up on Wolf Monk.

The Wolf Monk was furious, but his strength was about the same as Luan Ping’s, making it impossible to bypass Luan Ping to help the Bloody Monk. Moreover, the Bloody Monk had been struck several times by that Peak Master and was already collapsed on the ground, face down, unable to see his expression. All that could be heard was a hoarse roar, like a beast trapped in a cage, desperately trying to break free.

”Bloody Monk, my master was indeed right!” Shen Qianyue laughed coldly and said, ”He said your Heart Demon was rampant, your personality split; all it takes is to provoke your Demonic Nature, and you’ll start killing endlessly. How does it feel? How does the taste of this Heart Demon Scatter feel? My master developed this new trick in the Demon Hideout Cave, combining the Heart Demon Technique of the Great Demon King, it can awaken a person’s Heart Demon. Are you feeling distressed now? Feeling like your body is no longer under control? Feeling the unstoppable urge to kill? Come on, kill! Kill to your heart’s content. Didn’t you bloodily butcher Xiaolin Temple like this back then?”

The Wolf Monk listened as he fought against Luan Ping, his face changing dramatically. The incident of the Bloody Monk butchering Xiaolin Temple had always been an unsolved case, and nobody knew exactly what happened. Although the Bloody Monk himself admitted to it, the Wolf Monk had never believed that he had bloodily butched Xiaolin Temple. Now Shen Qianyue revealed this old story, could it be true as Shen Qianyue said, that the Bloody Monk was possessed by the Heart Demon and controlled, hence the massacre of Xiaolin Temple?

However, thinking carefully, this was indeed the only possibility. Although the Bloody Monk kills without batting an eyelid, the Wolf Monk knew him well. To bloodily butcher an entire Xiaolin Temple, the Bloody Monk would never do it awake. Moreover, he was incredibly protective, if anyone tried to harm Xiaolin Temple, he would certainly not let them go. How could he bloodily butcher Xiaolin Temple in a clear state?

But how exactly did the Bloody Monk become possessed? What happened to him? Why was his Heart Demon so rampant? Moreover, why hadn’t he shown any signs of the Heart Demon during this period? Could it be that the Secret Technique of Patriarch Bodhidharma really suppressed his Heart Demon?

The Bloody Monk lay on the ground, having been struck dozens of times by that Peak Master, already spitting blood, looking gravely injured internally. Yet, he continued to emit hoarse roaring sounds, but his breathing began to accelerate, and his entire skin turned Chi-red, like a steamed crab.

That Peak Master didn’t understand why the Bloody Monk was like this. He was silent for a moment, then gave a heavy palm strike to the Bloody Monk’s forehead. Intuition told him that the Bloody Monk couldn’t be left alive, otherwise, it would be dangerous.

Shen Qianyue didn’t try to stop him. The Corpse Ghost Dragon only needed someone who understood Buddhist Texts. Killing the Bloody Monk, there was still the Wolf Monk remaining. With the three of them, it wouldn’t be difficult to capture the Wolf Monk. So he preferred to kill the Bloody Monk first, as the Bloody Monk was simply too powerful!

Seeing the Bloody Monk collapsed on the ground, showing no intention to dodge or resist, the Wolf Monk became anxious and roared, ”Senior Brother, be careful!”

It seemed the Bloody Monk hadn’t heard him, without even a twitch of his eyelids. In full view, that Peak Master’s palm landed on the Bloody Monk’s forehead.

”Humph!” Shen Qianyue brushed a cold smile across his lips, fully aware that this palm could certainly take the Bloody Monk’s life. After all, the forehead is a vulnerable part of the human body. A strike by a Peak Master is enough to shatter a person’s brain, surely the Bloody Monk wouldn’t survive it!

Watching the Bloody Monk take this hit, the Wolf Monk was stunned, his whole body seemed frozen. Had his senior brother really lost his life just like that? The Bloody Monk, who once intimidated the world, was he dead here?

For a moment, silence enveloped the scene. Everyone was watching the Bloody Monk, even Luan Ping wanted to know if the Bloody Monk was indeed dead.

The Bloody Monk lay still on the ground, fresh blood continued to seep from the corner of his mouth, and he no longer roared, as if truly dead. Shen Qianyue and the others let out a long sigh of relief; Shen Qianyue straightened up, ready to speak. Unexpectedly, the Bloody Monk on the ground began to tremble again, letting out low roars once more, making those who heard feel frightened.

”What’s going on?” Luan Ping asked in astonishment.

”He’s...not dead yet?” The Peak Master stared wide-eyed and said, ”I exerted all my strength, this palm should have shattered his brain, how...how is he not dead?”

”Is this a momentary surge before death?” Shen Qianyue asked, trembling, not understanding what was happening.

”Senior Brother? Senior Brother?” The Wolf Monk was somewhat agitated; the Bloody Monk not being dead was undoubtedly the best news.

Luan Ping sensed something was wrong, and urged, ”Hit him again, quickly, hit him again!”

The Peak Master didn’t hesitate at all, immediately swung his palm down again. However, before this palm reached the Bloody Monk, the Bloody Monk suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing the Bloody Monk’s eyes caused the Peak Master to shudder, freezing in place. He had lived over one hundred years and never seen such eyes.

Previously, the Bloody Monk’s eyes had changed several colors, sometimes Chi-red, sometimes pure white, very mysterious. But this time, when the Bloody Monk opened his eyes, the color was entirely different from before. His eyes were pure black, the entire eye sockets filled with pure blackness, with no other colors, not even whites. His eyes were like two endless black holes, seemingly capable of devouring everything, trapping people eternally within them, unable to escape!

The Peak Master only took one look, and he became dazed as if his soul was absorbed by those eyes. Meanwhile, the Bloody Monk didn’t pause; he suddenly stood up, pressed his palms together, directly piercing through the Peak Master’s belly, his entire body passing through the Peak Master’s body!
