Urban Martial Saint

Number Six failed in his first strike and instead suffered severe damage. However, the Number Six didn’t even grunt and continued to charge forward, chopping with one hand, continuing to attack the Bloody Monk.

The Bloody Monk’s response remained the same, just like the fighting style of those from the Wanyan Family before: a purely mutual destructive tactic. When the opponent attacks, he doesn’t evade and simultaneously counters. In this way, if the opponent wants to hit him, they cannot avoid receiving his own attack. Actually, in typical duels, such mutual destructive strategies are rarely used. But if this tactic is employed, the battle can end in the shortest time possible.

The situation of this Number Six from the Wanyan Family is the same as those before. Facing the assault from the Bloody Monk, he still chose not to evade at all, striking heavily with a punch at the Bloody Monk, aiming for a blow-for-blow exchange. Yet, engaging in such a trade-off with the Bloody Monk was sheer folly. Since the Bloody Monk completed his Vajra Indestructible Body training, his body’s resilience far surpasses what it used to be; how could this Number Six possibly hurt him? On the contrary, being struck by the Bloody Monk without having a similar combat resilience leads to an expected outcome.

The Bloody Monk took Number Six’s hit, but he merely exhaled lightly. Number Six was hit on another shoulder by the Bloody Monk, and this shoulder was instantly dislocated, with both arms going limp.

”He won!” someone on Ye Qing’s side immediately shouted with excitement. Number Six had both arms dislocated; the outcome of this battle was already determined.

As a matter of fact, it was just as the Bloody Monk had said: within three moves, he defeated this Number Six. Actually, the Bloody Monk only used two moves. Who wouldn’t be astounded by such prowess?

However, Number Six showed no signs of wanting to halt, instead, he charged again towards the Bloody Monk using his head. Facing Number Six’s assault, the Bloody Monk didn’t hold back, landing a heavy punch on Number Six’s head. Upon the collision of head and punch, Number Six was sent flying backward, while the Bloody Monk retreated three full steps, showing the formidable strength of this Number Six. If the Bloody Monk hadn’t recently begun reaching towards Beyond The Pinnacle, this battle might not have been so easily won!

Seeing Number Six take such a hit, those surrounding gasped in astonishment. As experts themselves, they naturally understood the magnitude of the Bloody Monk’s blow. Number Six actually faced it head-on with his head; could he still survive this? He was practically courting death!

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Number Six being hit in the head by the Bloody Monk seemed completely unharmed, standing right up again, with a menacing stance ready to attack the Bloody Monk once more.

This situation left everyone in shock; being punched in the head without dying was already unbelievable. Not only did this person not die, but he also got back up and continued his desperate efforts. At first glance, he seemed uninjured, what on earth was going on? Could it be that his strength had really reached this level?

The Bloody Monk was clearly taken aback, yet he always remained strong and steady. Seeing Number Six charge forward, he also didn’t hesitate to ready himself to strike back. But at this moment, Wanyan Second Master suddenly stood up from the Wanyan Family’s side and shouted, ”Stop!”

Upon hearing Wanyan Second Master’s words, Number Six stopped immediately, like a pet obeying orders.

Bloody Monk frowned slightly; since Number Six wasn’t moving, he naturally would not strike.

Everyone’s eyes turned simultaneously toward Wanyan Second Master, who scrutinized Bloody Monk up and down, and coldly stated, ”Didn’t we say earlier that Beyond The Pinnacle Masters were not allowed to fight? Does the Bloody Robe Sect Leader’s current strength still count as a Peak Master?”

”If you yourself don’t know how to distinguish between Beyond The Pinnacle and Acme, then you can go ask someone to clarify!” the Bloody Monk replied coldly, ”Once you’ve asked, then continue the fight!”

Wanyan Second Master gave a cold smile, saying, ”I merely ask without any other intentions. Our Wanyan Family has always admired the strength of the Blood Robe Sect Leader. In this battle, our Wanyan Family concedes thoroughly!”

By saying this, Wanyan Second Master essentially conceded defeat. There were many in Ye Qing’s group cheering instantly; having finally won another match, the excitement within their hearts reached new heights, and their morale soared.

So far, a total of five battles had been fought: Ye Qing’s side had won two matches, while the Wanyan Family had won three. Overall, Ye Qing’s side was still at a disadvantage. However, the Bloody Monk’s battle elevated Ye Qing’s group morale significantly; ultimately, determining the final victor depended on the subsequent five matches.

In the sixth round, Helian Tiehua took to the field personally. This Great General, who has dominated the North for decades, is the spiritual leader of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance for many years, and one of the youngest of the Five Unmatches of the World. In recent years, his fame has truly reached far and wide. His strength, much like his reputation, is awe-inspiring to people across the land. Helian Tiehua is now only in his fifties or sixties, but his prowess surpasses even those venerable elders over one hundred years old. Being selected as one of Ye Qing’s ten fighters shows how much importance they attached to him.

Helian Tiehua’s opponent was Number Two on the other side, and Number Two’s strength was obviously stronger than the few who fought previously. Fortunately, the one facing him wasn’t weak either—Helian Tiehua. The two strong opponents found themselves in a deadlock. Furthermore, this Number Two seemed to have practiced some robust body cultivation, with physical fortitude that matched Helian Tiehua’s own. Helian Tiehua’s Thirteen Protectors’ Horizontal Golden Bell Shield was evenly matched with Number Two.

The showdown between these two was indeed captivating—every move was extremely formidable, and the force they exerted was unmatched, causing the surrounding rocks to crumble. Strength against strength, speed against speed, such a clash was incredibly exhausting but also tested their true strength to the limit. A single moment of recklessness, and falling behind in strength could mean defeat.

They fought fiercely for over an hour, and the weight of exhaustion was apparent in both. After exchanging over a dozen moves, they landed simultaneous blows on each other, taking several steps back.

Helian Tiehua coughed up a mouthful of blood, but the opponent, Number Two, did not. This made the people from Ye Qing’s side sharply inhale a breath of cold air. Could it be that the Great General who dominates the world was about to be defeated here?

Helian Tiehua’s steps were clearly a bit unsteady, yet he forced himself to stand firm, refusing to admit defeat, and instead engaged once more with Number Two. After another dozen or so moves, Helian Tiehua roared forcefully, grabbed Number Two by the shoulder, and with a powerful pull, dislocated it. Of course, Number Two didn’t miss the opportunity and delivered another punch to Helian Tiehua’s chest, causing him to cough up blood twice more.

Seeing this situation, the crowd around could not help but exclaim in shock. At this point, it was clear to everyone that Helian Tiehua was seriously injured. Yet, he insisted on enduring, unwilling to concede. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, Helian Tiehua’s spirit was truly worthy of admiration!

Among the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, some of the Seven Families members who were initially dissatisfied with Helian Tiehua found themselves internally applauding his bloody valiance. Even if Helian Tiehua loses, this fight has still showcased the mighty presence of the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance!

Shen Tianjun sat next to Ye Qing, watching Helian Tiehua fervently duel, and couldn’t help but sigh, softly saying, ”Actually, even if we lose this time, it’s not General Helian’s fault. The strengths of the ten opponents are arranged by number. Number Two’s strength should be the second amongst them, far stronger than the ones before. Even the Blood Robe Sect Leader might not win so easily. It’s already remarkable that General Helian held out for so long!”

Those around nodded continuously, and the way they looked at Helian Tiehua was filled with admiration.

Ye Qing clenched his fist, deeply worried. He really wanted to declare defeat, but he couldn’t do so. If he directly conceded, wouldn’t it disgrace Helian Tiehua? Helian Tiehua would never allow him to do that. However, if Helian Tiehua continued fighting like this, wouldn’t he end up being beaten to death right there?

While the crowd was murmuring quietly, Helian Tiehua was hit once more, making his steps even less steady. At that very moment, Helian Tiehua seized the opportunity, delivering a powerful punch to Number Two’s leg, instantly breaking it.

Number Two lost the use of a leg and collapsed to the ground, unable to stand.

Seeing this, the crowd from the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance erupted in cheers. With Number Two’s leg broken, the outcome was clear. Helian Tiehua had undoubtedly won!

Helian Tiehua let out a long breath, his body swaying slightly, almost falling. He turned around and waved to the Hong Alliance crew before attempting to walk away, but a sudden noise from behind stopped him. Helian Tiehua quickly turned his head to see Number Two pouncing on him, pulling forcefully at his left arm. Helian Tiehua swiftly pulled back with all his might, but Number Two seized the chance to twist his arm.

”Ah!” Helian Tiehua let out a cry of agony, but due to his severe injuries, he had no strength left to evade, and had his arm bone broken by Number Two.

”Foul play! Foul play!” the people of the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance shouted, some even wanting to rush to assist.

The people from the Wanyan Family also stood up immediately, blocking the Seven Rudders, as Wan Yan Second Master sneered, ”Heh, Helian Tiehua was already injured yet insisted on fighting on; doesn’t that count as foul play? We didn’t concede, so the fight wasn’t over. Helian Tiehua became overconfident and was defeated by us, how could that be blamed on the Wanyan Family?”
