Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qing squeezed into the cave, naturally slowing his pace. The leading Water Grass Giant was very fast, and several strands of grass quickly rushed ahead to wrap around Ye Qing’s ankles.

Ye Qing’s heart sank; if these water grasses entangled him again, it would be over. So, without hesitating, he immediately raised the scabbard of The Ancestor of Miao Dao, chopping the water grasses and severing them.

The leading Water Grass Giant was furious at the loss and became enraged, his remaining strands of water grass continuing to coil toward Ye Qing.

Seeing these aggressive water grasses, Ye Qing didn’t dare to be careless and quickly gripped the scabbard to counterattack. With a few swift slashes, he managed to cut several strands of grass. However, the leading Water Grass Giant seemed to have gone berserk in that moment. Despite Ye Qing severing several strands, the Water Grass Giant relentlessly directed more towards him, leaving Ye Qing overwhelmed. He blocked a few strands but was eventually caught by one that wrapped around his waist, dragging him outward.

Ye Qing hurriedly used the scabbard to chop the water grass, but as soon as he lifted his hand, another strand coiled around his wrist, pulling Ye Qing’s arm straight. Ye Qing felt a chill in his heart; if his hand was wrapped, it would be disastrous, leaving him powerless.

As panic surged within him, another strand of grass wrapped around, securing Ye Qing’s other wrist. At this point, Ye Qing’s hands were tightly bound, making resistance impossible. The surrounding water grasses surged like a tide, completely wrapping up Ye Qing, who was now like a bundled rice dumpling, utterly powerless.

Several Water Grass Giants saw this and their expressions turned excited, rushing over and wrapping Ye Qing with their grasses. Circle after circle, soon Ye Qing was enveloped, creating an impenetrable circle of grass from a distance.

Ye Qing was dizzy from the wrapping, his eyes blocked, entirely unaware of the situation outside. This realization sank his heart deeply; being wrapped this way seemed like the end. Was he to die here?

Ye Qing felt unwilling, yet he had no means to change the situation. Now, he couldn’t even move a finger, let alone escape the grass’s hold, which he simply couldn’t resist. Moreover, the suffocating sensation in his chest grew increasingly severe. It seemed that if this continued, he would likely suffocate.

What to do? What to do?

These words echoed in Ye Qing’s mind, but the truth was he had no solution. Entangled in the grass, unable to struggle free, what could he possibly do?

At Ye Qing’s point of near despair, he suddenly felt something strange on his leg. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be something tightly wrapped against his leg, even pressing against him.

Ye Qing’s heart stirred; he realized it was the Mysterious Iron Chains he had grabbed earlier. When the Water Grass Giants entangled him, they had inadvertently wrapped the chains in as well?

The Water Grass Giants were unaware of Ye Qing’s condition. The leading Water Grass Giant, seeing Ye Qing firmly bound, was clearly pleased. He waved his arm, signaling the other giants to retreat, then exerted himself to pull Ye Qing up with the grass. However, upon pulling, he sensed something was amiss, unable to move Ye Qing much at all.

The leading Water Grass Giant seemed perplexed, swimming over and circling Ye Qing before discovering the Mysterious Iron Chains tangled among the grass. Part of the chain was caught within the grass, rendering itself taut and immovable, causing the pull resistance.

The leading Water Grass Giant paid little attention, grabbing a Famed Instrument from a nearby underling, and hacked at the chains with force. He intended to break the chain, but despite the strike, the chains remained undamaged. After all, forged with the Mysterious Iron, how could they be easily severed?

One strike proving ineffective, the Water Grass Giant was visibly surprised. Slashing multiple times, the chains remained unscathed. This angered the Water Grass Giant, who switched between Famed Instruments, but saw the same results, leading him to realize cutting the chains with weapons was impossible.

The Water Grass Giant was bewildered, having just struck Ye Qing’s arm with no effect, and now the chains with the same result, challenging his understanding. Previously, these Famed Instruments could cut through anything, so what was happening now?

With confusion, the Water Grass Giant grasped the Mysterious Iron Chains, attempting to pull them but found them immovable. Extracting the chains from the grass bundle was impossible unless Ye Qing were released, which he refused. Could it be that capturing Ye Qing meant he couldn’t be taken away?

After circling the Mysterious Iron Chains for a while and trying various methods, they couldn’t pull them out. The Water Grass Giant completely lost its temper, grabbing onto the Mysterious Iron Chains and pulling them down forcefully. It’s no wonder, even though it possessed human-like intelligence, wisdom, and appearance, it remained a Water Monster with a fierce nature.

The Water Grass Giant furiously grabbed the Mysterious Iron Chains, trying with all its might to pull them out from the cave. But these Mysterious Iron Chains were incredibly tough and unyielding. This only intensified its rage, and it called for several nearby subordinates to assist.

Those Water Grass Giants rushed over, grabbing the chains and pulling. This time, the Mysterious Iron Chains finally showed some movement. It seemed as though something on the other side had been awakened, and as the Water Grass Giants pulled, a force suddenly surged from the chains, dragging them into the cave.

A few Water Grass Giants were startled, quickly letting go and moving aside, staring at the Mysterious Iron Chains in bewilderment, uncertain of what exactly was happening.

Wrapped tightly by the water grass, Ye Qing felt the situation clearly. The Mysterious Iron Chains were transmitting power, indicating that something must be behind them. Could it be some Evil Demon that had finally been awakened?

Ye Qing felt a surge of excitement in his heart. If that’s the case, he might be saved!

The Water Grass Giants stood aside, shock evident in their gazes at the Mysterious Iron Chains, clearly intimidated by their movement. The force on the Mysterious Iron Chains didn’t cease, slowly pulling them along with Ye Qing into the cave.

In fact, the water grass encircling Ye Qing was latched onto those Water Grass Giants. As Ye Qing was dragged into the cave, the Giants were directly pulled along as well.

The Water Grass Giants were startled, struggling frantically to resist. But the power of the Mysterious Iron Chains was far too strong; their efforts were like ants against an elephant, completely ineffectual, as they were pulled directly into the cave.

Fortunately, the cave was spacious enough to accommodate the large bodies of the Water Grass Giants as they entered. The Mysterious Iron Chains dragged Ye Qing and the Giants through a long cave, into a roomy Underground Reservoir, and then swiftly upward, breaking through the surface.

The Water Grass Giants were frantically trying to remove the water grass from Ye Qing, yet in their panic, they tangled further. It seemed impossible to untangle as they were dragged toward a cave beside the reservoir.

As they broke the surface, Ye Qing seized the opportunity to take several deep breaths, feeling as though reborn. The water grass binding him was also diminishing, and his eyes could finally discern the surroundings.

They drew closer to the cave. The Water Grass Giants were desperately trying to untangle the water grass, but their speed was too slow. Meanwhile, the Mysterious Iron Chains accelerated, hauling them ashore, directly into the cave.

Ye Qing felt relieved once on land. In the water, he couldn’t match the Water Grass Giants, but on land, things were different.

Yet, the Water Grass Giants seemed nearly frantic. They appeared terrified of being on the land, futilely struggling, unable to change anything. The more chaotic they became, the more tangled the water grass grew, rendering them helpless as they were dragged into the cave.

Ye Qing freed his hands, using the Scabbard of The Ancestor of Miao Dao to slice away some water grass binding him, standing upright. He first jumped down from the chains, moving to one side, before following them into the cave.

The chains pulling them inside indicated something must exist within the cave; he was determined to uncover what it was.

The cave wasn’t large, yet the path was littered with water, as if it had just been flooded, appearing exceptionally odd. Ye Qing ran through the cave, covering a distance of over one hundred meters before finally entering a wide cave space.

This cave covered about five or six acres, with a height of around twenty or thirty meters, offering considerable space. At the center lay a gigantic pit, which was actually a water-filled basin, where the chains extended into the water.
