Urban Martial Saint

Fu Qingping took a slow breath, looked at The Immortal Lord, and was silent for a moment, saying: ”Ten moves? That’s interesting. Alright, I will make a ten-move pact with you too. However, I haven’t broken through the Acme shackles yet, so it might be impossible for me to kill you within ten moves. How about this, if I can’t hurt you within ten moves, I lose, how about that?”

When Fu Qingping said this, the entire place was not just in an uproar, everyone was exclaiming. You must know, The Immortal Lord is a master who broke through the Acme shackles hundreds of years ago, and Fu Qingping has yet to break through Acme, there is a gap in their realms. Fu Qingping daring to challenge The Immortal Lord is already shocking. As for him defeating The Immortal Lord, basically no one has considered such a thing. Not to mention injuring The Immortal Lord within ten moves, this is simply impossible!

In fact, people just hoped Fu Qingping could hold on for a while under The Immortal Lord, even if defeated, keeping his life would be enough. But Fu Qingping actually wants to defeat The Immortal Lord, which is too unexpected for everyone?

Not only were people shocked, but The Immortal Lord was taken aback as well, he never expected Fu Qingping to say such a thing. This cannot be considered boasting, these words are simply too arrogant. Injuring him within ten moves? Let alone Fu Qingping, even masters like Shijia Wuji have no hope. Fu Qingping, what makes him so confident?

”Hahaha...” After a brief shock, The Immortal Lord laughed loudly, pointing at Fu Qingping and saying: ”I’ve lived over two hundred years, this is the most interesting joke I’ve ever heard!”

Among the spectators below, many also laughed. To everyone, Fu Qingping’s words were exaggerated, completely a joke.

The Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance also frowned slightly, they wanted Fu Qingping to win, but the hope was too slim. In this situation, it’s good enough for Fu Qingping to keep his life, how could he defeat the opponent? But they knew Fu Qingping wasn’t someone who bragged. Since he said these words, does he really have confidence?

Facing people’s laughter and ridicule, Fu Qingping remained calm, unaffected by their doubts. He calmly looked at The Immortal Lord, saying: ”If I can’t hurt you within ten moves, I lose!”

”Is that so?” The Immortal Lord replied furiously, laughing, and looked at Fu Qingping, saying: ”Well, I want to see how you can hurt me within ten moves!”

After saying that, The Immortal Lord suddenly moved, precisely speaking, his body didn’t move a bit. Yet, he rushed straight towards Fu Qingping as if he were a stiff zombie, the body didn’t move but could move without restriction. As he approached Fu Qingping, his right hand suddenly lifted, striking Fu Qingping’s chest. The whole process had no warning, and when he reached Fu Qingping, those Peak Masters below hadn’t reacted yet.

Though the masters below were several hundred meters away from the mountaintop, people could almost feel The Immortal Lord’s fierce palm wind. The strength of a Beyond The Pinnacle master was indeed unimaginably powerful!

How could Fu Qingping dodge this palm?

Facing The Immortal Lord’s palm, Fu Qingping didn’t seem intent on avoiding; still, he stood with hands behind his back. As The Immortal Lord got closer, the surrounding grass and trees suddenly moved, as if a wind blew.

Everyone saw clearly, those grass and trees weren’t swayed by The Immortal Lord’s palm wind because they swayed towards him, meaning the wind came from Fu Qingping’s direction. People below felt no wind; what was going on?

At this moment, the expression of The Immortal Lord changed. Half a meter from Fu Qingping, he fiercely shouted, abruptly pausing, as if facing danger. The palm he struck didn’t hit Fu Qingping; it stopped.

All below were stunned; no one knew what happened. Seeing Fu Qingping couldn’t dodge The Immortal Lord’s palm, why did The Immortal Lord stop? Judging by their skills, if Fu Qingping fought The Immortal Lord directly, he’d surely lose. The Immortal Lord only needed to strike full force to defeat Fu Qingping, but why did he stop?

No one below understood what happened on the mountaintop, but The Immortal Lord there understood exactly. Earlier, he thought he could defeat Fu Qingping with one palm. But nearing Fu Qingping, he suddenly felt fierce Sword Qi rushing at him, sparking fear.

Though Fu Qingping made no move, The Immortal Lord dared not approach further, fearing being torn by the Sword Qi. So he halted at this critical moment. Now, he realized Fu Qingping’s strength was hard to discern. Considering the fierce Sword Qi, he dreaded the outcome if he’d charged ahead.

”Know yourself and your enemy, a hundred battles, a hundred victories,” The Immortal Lord knows well. He couldn’t discern Fu Qingping’s strength now, daring not act rashly. That fierce Sword Qi frightened him. If struck full force, it would surely sever him in two!

”Fu Qingping, in several days you’ve improved significantly!” The Immortal Lord took a deep breath, eyeing Fu Qingping, admitting: ”Seems I underestimated you before!”

Hearing this, people below gasped. Now they understood why The Immortal Lord stopped; it wasn’t intentional but out of apprehension toward Fu Qingping. Fu Qingping’s strength was beyond expectation; maybe he could defeat The Immortal Lord tonight!

Seeing this, Ye Qing was ecstatic. Fu Qingping was his grandmaster, and their relationship was excellent, naturally, he wished Fu Qingping to defeat The Immortal Lord. Now seeing The Immortal Lord’s caution, Ye Qing was delighted.

Fu Qingping remained calm, extended a finger slowly, saying: ”First move!”

This caused another gasp from below, as Fu Qingping counted the moves. Crucially, The Immortal Lord’s move previously didn’t count against Fu Qingping’s total. Thus, Fu Qingping’s ten moves were fewer than expected. Such confidence?

The Immortal Lord was deeply angered; Fu Qingping counting moves seemed mocking.

”Fu Qingping, you’re too arrogant!” The Immortal Lord breathed deep, retorting: ”Fine, today, let’s have a proper fight!”

The Immortal Lord reached to his waist, drawing his belt slowly. People below finally saw, The Immortal Lord’s belt was a Long Whip, about three meters long, black with a silver tip. Unfurled, it seemed a creeping snake, unnerving.

”The Immortal Lord, you’re using a weapon!” Someone cried from below; having boasted, now wielding a weapon seemed despicable.

Ye Qing and others frowned; with Fu Qingping’s Qingping Sword taken by the Wanyan Family, his strength dropped. Now, The Immortal Lord wielding a weapon against unarmed Fu Qingping was unfair. Despite The Immortal Lord’s skill, this battle was unworthy!

”The Immortal Lord, after Wanyan Family stole my grandmaster’s Qingping Sword, he lost his favored weapon, and now you use yours, you are the most shameless among Beyond The Pinnacle masters!” Ye Qing shouted sternly.

The Immortal Lord cherished his reputation, unwilling to use weapons initially. Fearing death more, after sensing the Sword Qi, he couldn’t take Fu Qingping lightly, drawing the Long Whip for advantage. To survive and win, reputation mattered little, ignoring Ye Qing’s cries.

With a flick, the Long Whip cracked aloud, echoing over the mountain. Holding the whip, The Immortal Lord coldly eyed Fu Qingping, saying: ”Fu Qingping, don’t say I didn’t offer you a chance, pick a weapon to avoid accusations of bullying!”

”The Immortal Lord, stop pretending noble. For fairness, have the Wanyan Family return my grandmaster’s Qingping Sword!” Ye Qing announced: ”Return Qingping Sword for a fair duel!”

The Immortal Lord ignored Ye Qing, coldly facing Fu Qingping, warned sternly: ”Fu Qingping, I gave you a chance. If you don’t pick a weapon, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
