Urban Martial Saint

Fortunately, the commotion over there made the ripples in the water pause temporarily, indicating that whatever was in the water was also paying attention to the disturbance. Thus, Ye Qing’s side was temporarily safe. However, Ye Qing knew that this safety was temporary. He didn’t know how many of these giant snakes lurked in the pond, and any one of them could easily take his life!

The second giant snake emerged from the water without warning, catching the chaotic crowd completely off-guard. As a result, no one was able to block or dodge it, and a man was directly bitten by the snake.

Fortunately, the nearby people reacted quickly. Seeing that the giant snake had grabbed one of their own, two of the elders immediately shouted and struck the snake, causing it to hiss and involuntarily spit the person out!

The person, having been bitten by the giant snake and then spat out, truly had a brush with death. After landing on the ground, he hadn’t even managed to regain his senses, his eyelids rolling white, clearly terrified.

Seeing the stillness in the water ripples in front of him, Ye Qing didn’t dare to make any abrupt moves, fearing to provoke whatever was in the water. While keeping an eye on the ripples, he cautiously observed the situation on the shore.

Although hit by the two Peak Masters, the giant snake was not killed. It merely hissed in pain and then charged out of the pond, recklessly crashing towards the foreigners.

As the giant snake breached the water’s surface, everyone got a full view of it. It was roughly the same size as the previous giant snake, a massive creature to everyone. This giant snake was as thick as a barrel, capable of swallowing a person effortlessly, and immensely lethal.

Moreover, this giant snake was not just powerful but incredibly tough. The two Peak Masters struck it together, causing it to hiss a few times but leaving no apparent injury, leaving them in awe of its resilience. Ye Qing could tell that the strength and resilience of this giant snake were probably on par with the great dragon crocodile he had seen before. Each giant snake was akin to a Peak Master!

The foreigners had already descended into chaos, and seeing the giant snake’s incredible endurance, they were even more panic-stricken. After the giant snake emerged, they screamed and scattered, with only a few stronger Peak Masters teaming up to confront the snake, while the others fled in disarray.

”Don’t run! Don’t run!” the Great Lord shouted in a deep voice, ”These are just ordinary pythons. If we join forces, we can kill them. If we scatter, we’ll be picked off one by one, and everyone will die here!”

The Great Lord’s words had an effect, causing the panicked foreigners to pause slightly. Looking back, they saw that the few Peak Masters were fighting the giant snake together. Indeed, these Peak Masters were quite strong, forcing the massive creature to constantly hiss without suffering any injuries themselves.

On the other side, the Great Lord was single-handedly battling a giant snake, completely dominating it. If not for the snake’s large size, the Great Lord would have already defeated it. In other words, dealing with these giant snakes wasn’t very challenging for them.

Seeing this, the foreigners stopped running and hurried back to prepare to join forces against the giant snake. At that moment, a loud splash erupted from the pond, and another giant snake surged forth, lunging at one of them.

Having experienced this twice already, the people were on guard. When yet another giant snake appeared, they were startled but quickly reacted. The targeted person immediately rolled aside, avoiding the snake’s attack, while several others struck the snake, knocking it down.

With the emergence of the third giant snake, the scene became even more chaotic. Nonetheless, there were many skilled fighters among the foreigners, and they joined forces to encircle the third giant snake.

Ye Qing looked on in amazement, simultaneously noticing that the ripple on the water’s surface had changed directions and was rushing towards the shore.

This situation made Ye Qing’s heart rejoice. It seemed that the creature in the water sensed trouble on the shore and was preparing to go over and assist, which conveniently gave Ye Qing the chance to seize the moment and escape. Therefore, Ye Qing did not hesitate at all and immediately turned around, swimming in a different direction. He certainly wouldn’t swim towards the place of the ongoing battle.

Of course, as Ye Qing swam towards that direction, he was extremely alert. Because so many giant snakes had already appeared in the water, no one knew if there were more lurking inside. Given Ye Qing’s current condition, just one giant snake would be enough to swallow him whole. He had no strength to resist. So, even though he was escaping, it was extremely dangerous.

Ye Qing had just swum a short distance when he heard a splash behind him. Instinctively, he turned his head to look back, only to see that the ripple had reached the shore, and a giant snake burst forth from the water. Indeed, the ripple beneath was another giant snake!

The simultaneous emergence of four giant snakes was putting considerable pressure on those foreigners. Each was a colossal creature, not only massive but with incredibly strong powers as well. Fighting against them was incredibly difficult. However, fortunately, these foreigners had kept their composure and no longer showed the panic they had earlier. Battling these giant snakes, they steadily held the upper hand and victory was only a matter of time. Of course, the premise was that no more giant snakes appeared from the water. If three or five more were to emerge, except for that Great Lord, the rest of them would likely end up staying here!

Moreover, even if those four giant snakes couldn’t overcome the foreigners, their situation was extremely precarious because the swarm of snakes at the entrance was surging in like waves. These swarms were different from the giant snakes, although their destructive power was not as significant as the giant snakes, the crucial thing was their sheer numbers. If these swarms came rolling in, even without those four giant snakes, the foreigners would be doomed.

No one knew whether more giant snakes would emerge from the water, but Ye Qing certainly wasn’t heading towards the shore. He exerted all his strength to swim in the opposite direction, wanting to seize the chaos to quickly leave the battlefield. At this moment, he didn’t have time to be wary of the situation in the water. Escaping was the only thing he could and needed to do.

By this time, that Great Lord had fully recognized the crisis of the situation. He knew that continuing to entangle with those four giant snakes wasn’t an option. Seeing the snake swarm surging in like a tide, even someone as powerful as him felt a rush of fear in his heart from time to time. Moreover, the snake swarm at the entrance continued to pour in relentlessly; the exact number of snakes was impossible to discern. Anyway, glancing around, the ground was covered with swarming snakes, inevitably causing panic!

Taking a deep breath, the Great Lord suddenly let out a skyward howl; under the moonlight, his black cloak suddenly lifted without wind. Following this, a swirl of black gas rose around him, and amidst the black gas, his hair and nails began to grow visibly fast while two fangs extended from his mouth, making him look extremely terrifying, almost like a vampire.

Hearing the Great Lord’s howl, those foreigners were all deeply shocked and turned their heads to look over. Seeing the Great Lord in such a state, beyond the astonishment, there was more excitement, almost as if seeing hope.

The giant snake that had been tangled with the Great Lord attempted to attack him several times but was continually blocked by the black gas, causing the snake to roar impatiently. Finally, seeming to realize it couldn’t attack the Great Lord, it suddenly changed its direction, charging towards the few people on the other side, seeking to kill them first.

Seeing this situation, those individuals were startled and prepared to fight back. At that moment, the black gas around the Great Lord abruptly vanished, and he dashed towards the giant snake as if he were a black lightning bolt. He extended his hands, with nails sharp as blades, giving a very eerie impression. He fiercely swung, his ten fingers piercing completely into the giant snake’s body.

Feeling the pain, the giant snake opened its massive mouth and let out a sharp howl, its tail swiftly sweeping towards the Great Lord. But the Great Lord’s speed was incredibly fast, avoiding the snake’s strike almost instantaneously; then he extended his hand again, piercing into the giant snake’s body, and at the same time ran rapidly, carving a two-meter-long wound along the snake’s body with his hands, making the snake howl in pain again, its blood flowing like water from the wound, clearly indicating the severity of the snake’s injury.

In pain, the giant snake swung its body desperately, trying to coil around the Great Lord. But the Great Lord’s speed had increased even more, truly appearing like a bolt of lightning, making it impossible for the snake to touch him. Instead, the Great Lord continued creating several wounds on its body. Even though the snake was incredibly strong, its tolerance and resistance were high, yet with so many large wounds, its movements slowed down. In the end, the snake lay flat and still on the ground, not even possessing the strength to struggle, its body seemingly bathed in blood, exhaling more air than it inhaled, nearing death.

Seeing the Great Lord batter the giant snake into such a state, the foreigners immediately cheered. But the Great Lord dared not slack off, promptly rushing forward to severely injure the second giant snake.
