Urban Martial Saint

Others were also trembling with fear, ready to retreat. Upon hearing Wanyan Second Master’s words, they all seemed to receive an order and immediately turned and ran. Who would dare to stay here for even a moment longer? No kidding, they didn’t want to end up like those ten peak masters, dying here so inexplicably!

The long-toothed rat swarm, under Wanyan Second Master’s control, also turned and retreated immediately. These long-toothed rats had been well-trained by Wanyan Hongfeng; even in such a retreat, they were surprisingly orderly. The front row became the back row, and the back row moved to the front, turning around and running away.

Seeing this situation, Ye Qing couldn’t help but urgently command the snake swarm to chase after them. The long-toothed rat swarm had only lost about twenty thousand rats, barely scratching them, and letting them retreat like this was too much of a loss.

Actually, without Ye Qing’s command, the snake swarm immediately chased after them, pursuing those long-toothed rats. Moreover, the snake swarm did not devour the long-toothed rats, just bit them and left them, seemingly intending to enjoy them later.

However, the long-toothed rat swarm had started running earlier, and with the snakes in pursuit, it was a bit late. Seeing the long-toothed rats already reaching the edge of the valley, Ye Qing couldn’t help but sigh. If they ran out, chasing them again wouldn’t be easy. It seemed solving this snake swarm wouldn’t be simple either.

Just as Ye Qing was filled with regret, a scream suddenly came from the valley’s end from Wanyan Ming, as if encountering some danger. Immediately, the long-toothed rat swarm that had just rushed forward also fell into chaos, unable to maintain their previous order, turning into utter confusion.

”What’s going on?” Ye Qing immediately looked carefully, only to see Wanyan Second Master carrying Wanyan Ming running back swiftly. In the distance, the long-toothed rat swarm also retreated nervously, as if facing a formidable enemy. But what could be ahead that shocked them so much?

While Ye Qing was still puzzled, another snake swarm poured in from the valley entrance. Similar to the ones emerging from the cave, they too came in like a tide. They weren’t quick, but the critical issue was that this snake swarm blocked every exit from the valley. No wonder Wanyan Ming screamed, no wonder Wanyan Second Master carried Wanyan Ming back, and no wonder the long-toothed rat swarm was in such chaos. Turns out, the snake swarm had surrounded them!

Ye Qing’s heart suddenly cheered up, and his previous worries vanished, looking excitedly at the chaotic long-toothed rat swarm in the distance. He never expected the snake swarm to have such a tactic, blocking all routes. Now it’s perfect; the snake swarm had encircled the long-toothed rat swarm within the valley, allowing the Wanyan Family to experience what it’s like to be surrounded!

Facing such a multitude of natural predators, the long-toothed rat swarm was obviously frightened, scurrying around in circles within the valley. But there was certainly no escape route for them within this valley. Surrounded by so many snakes, they were essentially trapped with no way out.

The most terrified were the few from the Wanyan Family. A few who ran slower earlier were caught by the snake swarm, and as a result, couldn’t escape anymore. The effectiveness of the snake swarm was faster than the long-toothed rats at killing; those people probably lost their lives, too. If they fell among the snake swarm, the result would undoubtedly be the same, with no chance of survival!

”What to do? What to do? What to do?” Wanyan Ming shouted in panic. Such a situation was beyond his wildest dreams. Surrounded by so many snakes, he only felt his limbs turn icy cold. If not for Wanyan Second Master carrying him, he probably wouldn’t even have been able to run out of fear.

Wanyan Second Master was even more terrified. The snake swarm of Mount Wendao was just too many, and too terrifying. The number seemed even more than the long-toothed rats he brought, which was truly life-threatening. The long-toothed rats couldn’t be relied upon, and breaking through was almost impossible. He was a peak master, not beyond the pinnacle; while his Qinggong was strong, he couldn’t fly without touching the ground. With so many snakes below, wherever he stepped, he’d be among the snakes, practically seeking death. So, even if he wanted to escape alone, it was impossible, let alone with Wanyan Ming.

The snake swarm paid no heed to their terror, continuously surging towards the center. The long-toothed rat swarm, trapped in the center, had no escape route and could only be gradually swallowed by the snakes, eaten as food. The rat swarm emitted a series of squeals, but it couldn’t stop the snake swarm even a bit; after all, they were natural enemies!

As the range of the long-toothed rat swarm shrank further, Wanyan Ming’s screams grew louder. Weak in strength and faint-hearted, surrounded by so many snakes, his only thought was to escape as soon as possible, fearing to die here. However, despite his constant shouting, Wanyan Second Master had no solution. Being surrounded by such a snake swarm was just like Ye Qing and his team being encircled by the long-toothed rats earlier, with no way to escape!

After shouting for a while, seeing that Wanyan Second Master remained motionless, Wanyan Ming erupted in fury, roaring, ”Wan Yan Number Two, are you going to run or not!”

Wanyan Second Master’s face turned cold. Wanyan Ming was indeed bold, daring to address him like that.

”Wan Yan Number Two, I’m talking to you, did you hear me?” With no response, Wanyan Ming grew angrier, pointing at Wanyan Second Master and yelling, ”I tell you, if I die here, you won’t get away either, my grandfather will definitely not spare you!”

”Enough!” Wanyan Second Master roared angrily, delivering a slap across Wanyan Ming’s face, shouting angrily, ”Shut up!”

Wanyan Ming didn’t expect Wanyan Second Master to slap him, and he was stunned. He stared at Wanyan Second Master for a long time but didn’t dare speak again. After all, he was not strong enough, and if Wanyan Second Master really got angry, he would have to behave obediently.

After delivering the slap, Wanyan Second Master felt a bit of regret. The slap did help vent his anger, but how should he resolve it later?

Looking at Wanyan Ming, Wanyan Second Master originally intended to say something, but then thought, since he had already slapped, it was pointless to say more. Who let this Wanyan Ming be so impudent? If Wanyan Hongfeng really came after him because of this matter, he could only resign to fate!

”Sit tight, I’ll figure out a way to get you out!” Wanyan Second Master shouted coldly, ignoring Wanyan Ming, and instead looked off into the distance at the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

The Corpse Ghost Dragon was battling with Fat Jiao, but was now totally at a disadvantage. Its combat power was far inferior to Fat Jiao’s, and it certainly couldn’t defeat Fat Jiao. However, this was because the Corpse Ghost Dragon had just recovered from its injuries. If it were in its prime, while still not a match for Fat Jiao, it wouldn’t have lost so miserably.

Wanyan Second Master had already abandoned the idea of the Corpse Ghost Dragon defeating Fat Jiao, because it was simply impossible. The only thought now was how to have the Corpse Ghost Dragon carry them out of this place.

Previously, when Ye Qing and the others were besieged by the Long-toothed Rat Swarm, it was Fu Qingping who came down to help them escape. Such a situation could only be broken through by a beyond peerless master. The Corpse Ghost Dragon was now their only hope!

Taking a deep breath, Wanyan Second Master suddenly let out a whistle, commanding the Corpse Ghost Dragon to take them away.

The Corpse Ghost Dragon was already on the losing side, and hearing Wanyan Second Master’s whistle, it was clearly distracted and immediately turned to look toward Wanyan Second Master. But just then, Fat Jiao charged forward, gripping its left arm with a claw.

In this situation, the Corpse Ghost Dragon should have immediately warded off Fat Jiao’s claw. However, with another whistle from Wanyan Second Master amid his intense commands, the Corpse Ghost Dragon disregarded its injured arm and turned directly toward Wanyan Second Master.

Predictably, its arm was ripped off by Fat Jiao, spraying a jet of black blood.

Fat Jiao was briefly stunned, not expecting the Corpse Ghost Dragon to flee by severing its own arm, and it forgot to pursue. Meanwhile, the Corpse Ghost Dragon moved swiftly and reached Wanyan Second Master, grabbing the two of them with its remaining right arm, and executed Qinggong to swiftly leave this valley without lingering a moment!

Fat Jiao stood dumbfounded, watching the rapidly departing Corpse Ghost Dragon and company, finally reacting after a good while. It shook the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s severed arm it held and tossed it into the valley, then turned to look at Ye Qing, suddenly grinning slyly.

”What’s so funny? Hurry up and chase them!” Ye Qing said helplessly. This creature still had the mind to smile at such a time.

Fat Jiao didn’t pursue but instead rushed to Ye Qing’s side, circling him, nuzzling Ye Qing with its fat head. It looked just like a pet meeting its owner, extraordinarily affectionate. To be honest, seeing Fat Jiao acting so coy, who would have thought that this guy just tore the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s arm off in one go and roared ten peak masters to death!

From the look of things, Ye Qing knew Fat Jiao wouldn’t chase the Corpse Ghost Dragon anymore, and could only sigh. This opportunity to kill the Corpse Ghost Dragon and significantly weaken the power of the Wanyan Family was lost. What was Fat Jiao thinking, missing such a good opportunity to chase?

Chiding Fat Jiao a few times brought no response, as it continued to nuzzle Ye Qing affectionately, occasionally licking him, which immediately dissipated Ye Qing’s anger.

Tapping on Fat Jiao’s plump head, Ye Qing said, ”Next time you see that guy, you must help me deal with him; he’s my arch-nemesis!”

Fat Jiao nodded vigorously, then stood beside Ye Qing, chuckling foolishly, drooling eagerly, clearly waiting for Ye Qing to feed him.
