Urban Martial Saint

Hearing Ye Qing’s voice, Wen’er was momentarily taken aback. She suddenly remembered, there was such a person behind her.

Looking at Ye Qing, who was already standing, a hint of sadness flashed in Wen’er’s eyes. It was to save this man that her father was fighting for his life outside. She truly wanted to go out and fight to bring her father back. If she could, she would rather die herself just to save her father. But is it possible?

”How is your injury?” Wen’er asked solemnly.

”I’m fine.” Ye Qing replied, ”Although I’m not fully healed, I’m almost there, and I can fight!”

”That’s good!” Wen’er said directly, ”You find a way to leave here first, I won’t be taking care of you anymore, I need to go out and save my father!”

With that, Wen’er stood up and started to push the giant stone slab blocking the cave entrance. But the stone was too large, and she couldn’t move it with her strength.

”I said, let’s go save them together!” Ye Qing came over, stretched out his hands, and helped Wen’er push the stone slab. But his internal injuries had only half healed, and he didn’t have enough strength, so they still couldn’t move the stone.

”Who asked you to go out!” Wen’er turned around and looked at Ye Qing, shouting, ”I can go alone. You were saved by my father and uncles with their lives, just so you could deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Do you still want to go out and die? If that’s the case, why did we save you? Why risk everything?”

Ye Qing did not expect this girl to have such a fierce nature. He was slightly silent, but had already understood what was going on. It seemed that the people from the South Ridge Sect also wanted to kill the Corpse Ghost Dragon, which was why they risked everything to save him.

After a moment of silence, Ye Qing said softly, ”I understand what you mean, but going out like this is also walking to your death. I am different. When I go out, I have a way to deal with those Necromancers!”

”You have a way?” Wen’er’s expression changed, and she looked at Ye Qing excitedly, ”Do you really have a way? What is it?”

Ye Qing said, ”This matter is complicated. Now isn’t the time to discuss it. We need to go out first and save them. If we go out too late, it might be too late.”

”This...” Wen’er hesitated slightly for a moment, then gritting her teeth, said, ”Fine, I’ll trust you this time. But when we get out, you must be careful. If the situation isn’t right, you must escape immediately and not worry about anyone else!”

Saying this, Wen’er grabbed Ye Qing by the collar, gritting her teeth and said, ”Remember, don’t let our sacrifices be in vain, understand?”

Ye Qing nodded slowly, he stretched out his hands and said to Wen’er, ”Let’s work together and push this stone slab open!”

”This stone slab might not be moveable,” Wen’er shook her head helplessly and said, ”Second Aunt must have used the mechanism outside to completely seal this entrance, preventing us from escaping. Now, we can only take another route out.”

”Then let’s hurry and go.” Ye Qing said decisively. The situation outside was dire, and they had no time to waste inside here.

”Follow me!” Wen’er led Ye Qing along the tunnel, saying, ”This passageway leads to that Great Tomb left by the Demon Sect. We can enter that tomb, then exit through the underwater channel.”

”Oh?” Ye Qing was momentarily surprised, looked around, and asked curiously, ”Why didn’t you enter through the underwater channel before?”

”That underwater channel has several dragon crocodiles guarding it, their power is terrifying, and a slight mistake would lead to death in their mouths. So, when we entered, we dug a passage through here,” Wen’er said, ”However, the last time we went in, we found that those dragon crocodiles were all dead. We have no idea why.”

Ye Qing, of course, knew the reason because he killed those dragon crocodiles.

”This is a Stone Mountain, how did you manage to dig a tunnel here?” Ye Qing asked curiously.

”What Stone Mountain, didn’t you see the trees growing nearby?” Wen’er said, ”Where there’s vegetation, there’s sure to be soil. Just overturn the rocks and start digging, it’s just a bit troublesome.”

”I see.” Ye Qing suddenly realized and followed Wen’er forward. After about two minutes, an exit suddenly appeared in front of them, and they were already inside that Great Tomb.

Jumping out of this exit, they found themselves at the position of the stone gate they had seen before, just avoiding the waterway outlet with those dragon crocodiles, making things safer. However, since Ye Qing had already dealt with those dragon crocodiles, there were no longer any dangers here.

The two of them walked in without any hesitation and immediately headed toward the direction of the underground waterway, preparing to exit quickly and assist those outside.

Meanwhile, outside on the mountainside, the six skeletons were searching everywhere for Ye Qing, but they were certainly unable to find him. On the other side, the Eight Great Sect Masters of the South Ridge Sect were surrounded by four skeletons. Although they had set up the Seven Kills Formation, it was a very difficult battle. The Grand Sect Master was seriously injured, his chest soaked with blood, and he was surrounded by the seven other Sect Masters, catching his breath and regaining his energy.

Shen Qianyue stood on a large boulder in the distance, observing both the six skeletons searching for Ye Qing and the situation on this side. Seeing that the six skeletons had not found Ye Qing, his temper flared, and he roared, ”Kill them! Kill all these people for me!”

The four skeletons seemed to understand Shen Qianyue’s words and attacked even more fiercely, crazily assaulting the South Ridge Sect members, truly going all out to kill them here.

The members of the South Ridge Sect were already no match for the four skeletons, and now being surrounded like this, their situation became even more critical. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before they were killed by the skeletons, perhaps not even lasting two more minutes.

The Grand Sect Master, seeing the situation, simply gave up on recovering his energy and slowly stood up, saying in a trembling voice, ”Brothers, you shouldn’t have come to help me.”

”Big Brother, why are you saying this now?” the Third Sect Master shouted, ”When we swore brotherhood back in the day, we agreed it wasn’t about living the same year, month, and day, but dying on the same year, month, and day. Old Jiu was killed by that Corpse Ghost Dragon scum, and even if we can’t take revenge ourselves, we have to raise someone who can. If the eight of us die here, but that lets Ye Qing kill the Corpse Ghost Dragon, it counts as avenging us!”

”Third Brother speaks rightly. We are not afraid to die, we will fight these bastards to the end!”

”Yes, help them kill the Corpse Ghost Dragon and avenge Old Jiu!”

”…”

Everyone continued to shout, and the originally critical scene became exceptionally heroic in this moment. They stood together with a certain sense of facing death unflinchingly, roaring as they fought desperately against these skeletons.

”If you wish to die, I will grant your wish today!” Shen Qianyue shouted coldly, commanding the four skeletons, ”Kill them for me!”

The four skeletons continued their assault, while the few Sect Masters of the South Ridge Sect were finding it harder and harder to hold on, and it seemed they could no longer sustain the defense.

At this moment, from the nearby woods suddenly came a low demonic chant, seemingly able to pierce the soul, attracting everyone who heard it. Shen Qianyue was the first to be struck by it, his expression changing slightly, but soon his face slipped into a trance, completely engrossed in the sound.

As for the Sect Masters, they too were drawn in by this sound. The four skeletons gradually slowed their attack and eventually stopped altogether, like typical skeleton models used in hospitals. Everything seemed to fall into a trance under this demonic sound and came to a standstill.

Not long after everything stopped, a group of over a dozen people emerged from the small forest nearby, shouldering all the Eight Great Sect Masters of the South Ridge Sect and running away. As they were carried away, the Eight Sect Masters remained in a trance, seemingly completely unconscious.

Shortly after these Eight Sect Masters were taken away, the demonic chant gradually ceased and eventually disappeared. Shen Qianyue and the others remained in this state for about half a minute before they managed to awaken, only to discover that the previously besieged Eight Great Sect Masters of the South Ridge Sect had vanished entirely.

Shen Qianyue’s expression abruptly changed, and he anxiously glanced around, but the Eight Great Sect Masters were nowhere to be seen.

”Ah!” Shen Qianyue couldn’t help but let out a beast-like roar, jumping from one large rock to another, continuously emitting wild beast-like screams: ”Come out! Come out for me! You can’t escape! You can’t escape! I will personally kill all of you!”

At this time, Ye Qing had just emerged from the underwater passage, completely unaware of what had transpired outside. As soon as he surfaced, he heard Shen Qianyue’s frenzied shouting, which puzzled him. Could the Eight Great Sect Masters of the South Ridge Sect have already been killed, and was Shen Qianyue currently searching for him?

While Ye Qing was confused, a skeleton had already started coming over from afar. Although these skeletons had no consciousness, they could sense living beings; it had already detected Ye Qing’s presence.

The approaching skeleton immediately attracted Shen Qianyue’s attention, and he also spotted Ye Qing on the water’s surface. He was startled at first, then overjoyed, and Shen Qianyue roared, ”Ye Qing, hahaha, I thought you had already escaped. It seems, ultimately, you will still die at my hands, hahaha, hahahahaha...”

Shen Qianyue laughed wildly to the sky; at this moment, he was beyond delighted. Killing the eight members of the South Ridge Sect was not the primary issue; Ye Qing was his main target. Seeing Ye Qing again now, his mood was naturally extremely excited.
