Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1490 - 1490: Heavenly Gangs and Northern Dipper

Ye Qing missed his hit and was immediately entangled by the two men.The strength of these two men wasn't very strong, but their speed was swift. Moreover, their hands were like claws, extremely sharp, with fingernails like daggers. If grabbed, it would surely result in a wound. Even though Ye Qing had the Wu Hong Dagger in hand, he found no opportunity to stab the two men, instead being beaten back step by step by them.

Actually, with Northern Martial Zen's strength earlier, he was entangled by those two men. The strength of these two men was similar to the previous ones, while Ye Qing's strength was far inferior to Northern Martial Zen's. When fighting these two, it's naturally a mess, unable to cope.

Seeing this situation, the Baron over there coldly laughed continuously, gritting his teeth and said, "Huaxia people, I advise you to surrender obediently. Otherwise, I will personally drain all your blood later, to let you know what the greatest pain is!"

Ye Qing was somewhat puzzled in his heart. What exactly was this Baron doing, wanting to suck human blood? Ye Qing had seen those Southeast Asian Sorcerers before, and they weren't this evil. What kind of sorcery was this Baron practicing?

While pondering this, Ye Qing became distracted and inadvertently got clawed on his left arm by one of the men. Five scars appeared directly on Ye Qing's left arm, blood oozing out, staining Ye Qing's sleeve a patch of red.

Ye Qing grunted, hurriedly retreating to evade these two people. However, having just gained the upper hand, they naturally wouldn't give up, pursuing closely, seemingly wanting to kill Ye Qing directly.

The two men's speed was extremely fast, and Ye Qing had just retreated less than two meters when they were already in front of him, launching four claws. Two claws aimed for Ye Qing's neck, while the other two went for his abdomen. If caught, Ye Qing would certainly end up with his intestines gouged, neck ruptured to death.

In this current situation, trying to retreat was already impossible for Ye Qing. Given the speed of the two men and their attacks blocking every retreat route, Ye Qing truly had no escape. Seeing this, Ye Qing was bound to be caught and killed by these two.

The Baron in the distance, witnessing this situation, couldn't help but flash a cold smile. In his view, Ye Qing was certainly doomed, because earlier when Ye Qing fought the two men, he had already assessed Ye Qing's strength, concluding Ye Qing was no match for the two men. With the two seizing the opportunity now, there was no way Ye Qing could survive!

"Heavenly Gangs and Northern Dipper!" At this moment, Ye Qing suddenly shouted. Just as the four claws of the two men were less than half a foot away, Ye Qing spontaneously took a step to the side with an incredible movement technique.

They had Ye Qing surrounded, sealing off all his escape routes. By reasoning, Ye Qing shouldn't have been able to escape. No one could have imagined that Ye Qing could emerge from their encirclement, something utterly unimaginable.

Even though the two men were seasoned veterans, this situation still left their minds blank for a moment, confused about what had just occurred. Not only them, but the Baron's eyes almost popped out too. He was experienced and knowledgeable but had never witnessed such a scenario.

What these people didn't know was that Ye Qing utilized the Stepping Technique of Heavenly Gangs and Northern Dipper. This set of movements, famed for encompassing myriad forms and being the essence of the Taoist Sect, is by no means simple. Ye Qing learned only three steps of this technique, but its power was already formidable. Not only could it easily evade experts like Lu Zian, but crucially, even against masters like Northern Martial Chan Wanyan King, Ye Qing could dodge one or two moves with this technique, showcasing its powerful capabilities. If Ye Qing could master the entire technique, not to mention Northern Martial Zen or Prince Wan Yan, even the Five Unmatches of the World couldn't harm Ye Qing!

As for these three men, their strength, though formidable, was still much different compared to masters like Northern Martial Zen. Ye Qing's technique was extremely effective against them, breaking through their encirclement in one move. Furthermore, after breaking free, Ye Qing did not hesitate a bit. Taking advantage of the two men still in shock, he directly lunged forward like a swift leopard, using the Wu Hong Dagger in his hand to slice one man's throat.

The Wu Hong Dagger pierced the man's skin, only then did Ye Qing understand why it was difficult for even someone as strong as Northern Martial Zen to injure these two. When the Wu Hong Dagger pierced the man's throat, it felt like stabbing into something extremely tough. If Ye Qing hadn't channeled Inner Strength into the Wu Hong Dagger, it might not have even cut through his throat.

It's important to know that Ye Qing was wielding the Wu Hong Dagger, a famed instrument. What is a famed instrument? It's a treasure much stronger than regular weapons, capable of cutting through steel and shattering ordinary metal. If it could break steel, it certainly could penetrate a human body. Yet it took Ye Qing some effort to slice through the man's throat, indicating this person's physical body was beyond ordinary, skin almost not comparable to armor!

Ye Qing's sudden attack was successful, the man's throat was sliced, and he fell clutching his neck into a pool of blood. As his body struggled, his coat covering his entire body fell away, revealing his beast-like face. Just as Ye Qing had seen before, his head and face were covered with bristles, that face looked like a wolf's head, extremely terrifying.

The man's death enraged the other, who immediately roared, "You dare kill my elder brother, I'll fight you to the death!"

The man roared and lunged at Ye Qing, completely reckless, wanting to kill Ye Qing at all costs. However, though his attacks were wild, there was still some disparity in strength compared to Ye Qing. Earlier, when the two of them teamed up against Ye Qing, they could defeat him. But now, with only one remaining, and whose sanity was nearly lost, battling Ye Qing posed no threat to him at all.

Ye Qing repeatedly avoided the man's several attacks, seized an opening, and the Wu Hong Dagger swept across, cutting off the man's left hand as well. The man screamed in pain, yet still tried to come forward to fight desperately. Just then, the Baron effortlessly arrived, directly blocking in front of him.

"You are not his match, step back!" the Baron shouted in a deep voice.

The man looked angrily at Ye Qing, but did not dare to defy the Baron's words, so he unwillingly lowered his head and said: "Baron, you must avenge my older brother!"

"Rest assured, he will surely die!" The Baron turned his head, scanned Ye Qing with cold eyes, and finally asked in a deep voice: "What sorcery did you use just now?"

Ye Qing looked at the Baron and frowned, replying in a deep voice: "What kind of sorcery are you using?"

The Baron's figure was ethereal, able to walk on grass, this level of Qinggong was something Ye Qing had never heard of. As for Ye Qing's Heavenly Gangs and Northern Dipper Stepping Technique, not just this Baron, even a master like the Northern Martial Chan Wanyan King wouldn't know what it is. Unless someone who's quite knowledgeable about Taoist Sect, the average person would be unaware of how exquisite this stepping technique truly is.

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, a hint of doubt flashed in the Baron's eyes. He stared at Ye Qing for a while and said coldly: "You don't know who I am?"

"Aren't you a Southeast Asian sorcerer?" Ye Qing replied coldly, in fact, he truly didn't know these people's identities. However, looking at the cultivation technique practiced by these people, eight out of ten times they would be Southeast Asian sorcerers, that's why he answered this way.

"Southeast Asian sorcerer?" The Baron was even more surprised, but soon sneered out loud: "Didn't expect, you actually consider us as that group of trash. Seems like I overestimated you before, you're probably not a member of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance. Even if you are, you're definitely not a core member within!"

Ye Qing didn't know why the Baron raised such a question, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "I am originally not a member of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, but so what?"

"I want to ask you!" The Baron said coldly: "Since you are not a member of the Seven Rudders, why do you interfere in our affairs? Why did you kill our people?"

Ye Qing immediately said: "Your people weren't killed by me, they were killed by someone named Northern Martial Zen, what does it have to do with me!"

"Northern Martial Zen?" The Baron was silent for a while, as if pondering the identity of this person. After quite a while, he suddenly shook his head and said coldly: "Hmph, even if those two were killed by this so-called Northern Martial Zen. However, just now that subordinate was indeed killed by you, that's not false, right?"

"Ridiculous, he was trying to kill me, shouldn't I resist?" Ye Qing replied indignantly.

The Baron said coldly: "Based on what you said, you killed my subordinate, it's only right for me to avenge him!"

"If you want to trouble me, just come on, why talk so much nonsense!" Ye Qing said in a deep voice: "To impose an undeserved crime, what's the need for excuses. Even if I didn't kill that man tonight, you would certainly find a reason to deal with me!"

The Baron coldly laughed and said: "You are quite clever, however, I don't necessarily have to kill you. As long as you honestly answer a few questions I have, I can still spare you!"

"No need for nonsense, I won't answer your questions!" Ye Qing replied bluntly.

"Hmph, won't cry until you see the coffin!" The Baron snorted coldly, slowly spread his arms, and without any visible motion, his entire body floated up directly, like an arrow off the bowstring, lunging straight at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing never thought the Baron would be so fierce, although he was fully on guard, ultimately he was still no match for the Baron's speed. He dodged with all his might, but still the Baron managed to strike a wound on his arm, with fresh blood gushing out again.
