Urban Martial Saint

Wen’er watched from the side as Ye Qing was being pulled back and forth by these two peak masters, becoming increasingly anxious, and shouted, ”Hey, you two, stop it! If this continues, Ye Qing will be killed by you!”

”Shut up!” A man from the Wanyan Family suddenly slapped Wen’er with a backhand, shouting angrily, ”Is this a place for you to speak?”

Wen’er, pale with anger, was about to attack the man, but several people had already rushed over and restrained her.

Seeing this situation, Ye Qing also couldn’t help but become enraged, shouting, ”Do the people of the Wanyan Family have no shame? Bullying a weak woman, what kind of skill is that? If you have the guts, come at me!”

”Ye, shut up. Once this matter is over, I’ll be the first to kill you!” One of the Wanyan Family members shouted angrily.

Just as the man finished speaking, Ye Qing frowned, about to say something when suddenly a thunderous voice came from afar in the stone corridor: ”Who dares to kill Ye Qing!”

The voice was so loud, every word was like rolling thunder, sweeping through the air. In this stone corridor, it was even more like a thunderbolt, echoing back and forth. A simple sentence, five simple words, but they echoed continuously in the stone corridor. The huge sound made everyone’s eardrums buzz, even the elderly men from the Wanyan Family and the cold and stern old man couldn’t help but look shocked. Just from hearing the voice, they already knew that this was a master they had encountered.

Suddenly, a man on the Wanyan Family’s side sat down on the ground with a thud. He leaned against the wall, tried several times but couldn’t get up, his head spinning from the voice, unable to stand steady.

The elderly men from the Wanyan Family and the cold and stern old man both changed their expressions. They knew very well that with their strengths, it was impossible to shout and make someone with decent inner strength dizzy. So, the strength of the person coming was definitely far above theirs, absolutely not a simple person!

After a moment of silence, the elder from the Wanyan Family was the first to react. He quickly turned his head and shouted towards the stone corridor, ”Which senior from Huaxia has come? I am Wan Yan Yong from the Wanyan Family, here by chance with a Western lord. This person not only wants to capture Ye Qing but also has designs on the tomb of the Duwang Sect Master, truly detestable!”

Although Wan Yan Yong didn’t know who was coming, from the sound, he knew it must be someone from Huaxia. Since it was someone from Huaxia, they would certainly not have any goodwill towards these Western people. So, he immediately revealed the identity of the cold and stern old man, hoping to provoke a fight between the newcomer and the cold and stern old man.

The cold and stern old man didn’t know what Wan Yan Yong was saying, but both of them were from Huaxia and were speaking in the Huaxia language. He didn’t need to guess to know how troublesome his current situation was. He was a master from the West, and naturally at odds with the people from Huaxia. At this moment, a master from Huaxia had come, spelling disaster for him!

The cold and stern old man was secretly surveying the surroundings, preparing to find a route of escape while worrying anxiously in his heart. Zhou Changjin had gone out to find the Red-robed Archbishop, but why hadn’t the Red-robed Archbishop returned after so long? If the Red-robed Archbishop returned, with a two-on-two scenario, they might at least be able to escape even if they couldn’t win. Now, being two against one, escaping was going to be extremely difficult!

”A lord from the West?” The voice from afar was approaching rapidly, indicating that the person was actually quite far away when they shouted earlier. That their voice could carry such power from so far away was truly astonishing.

Wan Yan Yong, although unclear about who the newcomer was, was quite sure in his heart. The newcomer’s strength was probably not beneath that of today’s most renowned Five Unmatches of the World.

Hearing this voice, Ye Qing’s expression turned cold, even more sullen than before. Because he recognized the voice clearly as being Du Canglang’s. He had just managed to escape from Du Canglang, fleeing to this place, only to encounter the Wanyan Family and these Western people. And now, without even being able to shake them off, Du Canglang had caught up again, making escape seem even more challenging!

Wen’er didn’t know about the issues between Ye Qing and Du Canglang. Hearing that shout, she thought it was someone coming to help Ye Qing and couldn’t help but feel happy. As for Wan Yan Yong and the cold and stern old man, both were somewhat trembling inside, as the person’s earlier tone seemed to indicate they intended to protect Ye Qing.

In less than a dozen seconds, a figure swiftly rushed over. Ye Qing could see clearly that the incoming person was none other than Du Canglang. Moreover, Du Canglang was carrying a man in red clothes, who was precisely the Red-robed Archbishop that had just gone out.

Seeing the Red-robed Archbishop, the Cold and Stern Old Man’s face instantly changed. The Red-robed Archbishop had only been out for a short time, yet he was captured by Du Canglang, and judging by the looks of it, his life was hanging by a thread. The Red-robed Archbishop was, after all, a Peak Master, how could he be defeated and captured in such a short time? Just how powerful was the person who came?

Wan Yan Yong was equally shocked; he didn’t know Du Canglang. However, he knew that the old man in red must be the Red-robed Archbishop of the Western Church. The strength of such a Red-robed Archbishop was exceptionally formidable, yet he fell into the hands of the newcomer, which showed how strong the newcomer truly was. Undoubtedly, if the newcomer wanted to kill him, it would be no challenge at all.

After charging over, Du Canglang’s first glance fell on Ye Qing, who was held by Wan Yan Yong and the Cold and Stern Old Man. Without a word, he rushed forward like an arrow, swinging the Red-robed Archbishop in his hand directly at Wan Yan Yong and the Cold and Stern Old Man.

Du Canglang’s strength was formidable, and his speed was incredibly fast. Wan Yan Yong was the first to bear the brunt, knowing that this attack was not something he could compare to the Cold and Stern Old Man’s earlier one. If he took it head-on, even if he survived, he’d be half-dead. Moreover, he could see that Du Canglang was clearly here for Ye Qing. Although he was reluctant, he had no choice but to let go and dodge. He knew very well that if he didn’t let go now, Du Canglang would kill him without hesitation.

As Wan Yan Yong let go and stepped back, only the Cold and Stern Old Man was left holding Ye Qing. Seeing Du Canglang’s powerful move stunned him as well, but unlike Wan Yan Yong, he didn’t let go. Instead, the moment Wan Yan Yong released his grip, he turned and ran with Ye Qing. His speed was incredibly fast, only slightly inferior to Carefree Movement and Crossing the River with a Reed, which was his most confident aspect. Although he knew he wasn’t a match for Du Canglang, he was confident that if he wanted to escape, Du Canglang might not be able to stop him.

Du Canglang’s sweeping attack, the Cold and Stern Old Man retreated in the blink of an eye, avoiding his strike. Without any hesitation, the Cold and Stern Old Man, holding Ye Qing, ran towards the Stone Corridor. But he had barely taken a step when he heard Du Canglang coldly shout, ”Can you escape?”

The Cold and Stern Old Man didn’t even look back, just quickened his pace, trying to widen the gap first. However, shortly after Du Canglang’s voice fell, he felt something behind him seem to grab onto him, forcibly pulling him back. He hurriedly turned to dodge, while sweeping his right hand backwards, attempting to repel the person behind him. However, upon turning, he found no one standing there, yet the force was still dragging him backward. A little distance away, Du Canglang’s right hand formed a claw, grabbing in the air, slowly pulling it back. It seemed like Du Canglang was the one grasping him in mid-air.

”Dragon Claw Hand!” Wan Yan Yong exclaimed in surprise. With vast knowledge, he naturally recognized this skill of Du Canglang. At the same time, he saw the six fingers on Du Canglang’s hand, his face turned even paler, and he stared at Du Canglang for a long while before tremblingly saying, ”You... you... you are Six-fingered Du Canglang?”

”Hmph!” Du Canglang snorted coldly, his right hand suddenly yanked, and the Cold and Stern Old Man was abruptly pulled over to him by the intangible force.

The Cold and Stern Old Man was also taken aback by Wan Yan Yong’s revelation, but being a seasoned master, he knew there was no escape. When he was pulled in front of Du Canglang, he immediately threw Ye Qing towards Du Canglang, while quickly reaching out with both hands, aiming to grab Du Canglang’s chest and abdomen. His speed was astonishingly fast.

However, Du Canglang seemed completely oblivious; he casually caught Ye Qing and struck a palm towards the Cold and Stern Old Man. The Cold and Stern Old Man moved first, but Du Canglang’s palm, though following later, reached the Old Man’s chest first. If the Cold and Stern Old Man continued to charge forward like this, his hands might grasp Du Canglang’s chest and abdomen, but he would inevitably be hit by Du Canglang’s palm first.

The Cold and Stern Old Man was no fool; since Du Canglang could defeat the Red-robed Archbishop in such a short time, his strength was undoubtedly formidable. The Cold and Stern Old Man knew very well that his strike might not prove fatal to Du Canglang, but if he took Du Canglang’s palm, even if he survived, he’d shed a layer of skin. Therefore, he was unwilling to attempt such a mutually destructive approach. As his strike was about to hit, his body suddenly twisted, retreating at a peculiar angle that defied imagination, evading Du Canglang’s palm.

Seeing this move from the Cold and Stern Old Man, Wan Yan Yong couldn’t help but silently praise it. The Cold and Stern Old Man’s speed was extremely fast, and his change in moves exceptionally rapid, making the evasion truly exquisite, nearly perfect, directly avoiding Du Canglang.

However, the Cold and Stern Old Man had barely moved a short distance when Du Canglang coldly shouted once more, ”Can you escape?”

With this cold shout, Du Canglang’s palm suddenly unleashed a fierce horizontal sweep. A powerful surge of Vigor Power erupted, striking towards the Cold and Stern Old Man from afar.
