Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1998 - 1998: Du Canglang Injured

"Getting rid of them doesn't necessarily mean we have to kill them!" The Great Lord pointed to the squashed taxi below and sneered, "Their car is already crushed, but our car is still in good shape. In this remote place, it's impossible for them to find another car. With our intact car, we can drive away. By the time they find a car, we might already be hundreds of miles away. Even if they want to catch up with us, how could they possibly find us?"Hearing this, everyone relaxed. They were initially worried that Executioner Scholar and the others would relentlessly pursue them. Now it seems that using this method to get rid of them is much more convenient. Moreover, by avoiding a direct confrontation, they can conserve their strength, which is naturally for the best.

"The Great Lord truly is wise and resourceful!" an elderly man quickly flattered, "Without lifting a finger, we've shaken off these martial artists from Huaxia. By the time they emerge from this desolate area, we'll probably already be at the next airport, flying off!"

The Great Lord completely ignored his flattery and coldly said, "Take Ye Qing with us. We need to leave this place as soon as possible. The hidden masters of Huaxia are gradually appearing, and this place will only become more dangerous. We must get Ye Qing out of Huaxia quickly!"

No one dared to delay, hastily taking Ye Qing down the mountain from the back. Their car was parked behind a clump of tall weeds. These weeds were so high that they completely concealed the vehicle, no wonder the driver couldn't see anything earlier.

The group pulled the vehicle out from the weeds, then got in and hurriedly left this place, not daring to waste a moment.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Executioner Scholar and the other three were hiding behind a giant boulder, quietly observing the situation over here. Seeing the Church's people driving away, Slaughter Venerable said gloomily, "Ah, now we really can't catch up. What should we do? The Wanyan Family hasn't arrived yet, and we've already lost them!"

"Why are you so anxious?" Executioner Scholar coldly smiled, glancing at Snake Gentleman, "Elder brother, how's your arrangement?"

"No problem!" Snake Gentleman coldly laughed, "This tracker snake is a method I learned in my early years at the Miao Borderlands, similar to the Tracking Gu of Miao. As long as the tracker snake is on that car, no matter how far they run, I can track them!"

"Tracker snake?" Slaughter Venerable looked at Snake Gentleman in surprise, "Elder brother, when did you put the tracker snake on?"

Snake Gentleman smiled smugly. When Executioner Scholar gave him a hint earlier, he knew what was up and released the tracker snake. The Church people were only guarding against them, of course, they didn't expect Snake Gentleman to have this trick. The tracker snake had already crawled onto the Church's car. Now, even if the four of them didn't have a vehicle to follow, they could clearly know where those people went. Meanwhile, the Church's people thought they had lost these four, unaware that their whereabouts were still under their control!

"So what if we have this tracker snake?" said Sky-Killing Master in a deep voice, "The Wanyan Family hasn't arrived yet. Even if we can keep up with them, we're no match for the Church people. If they surround us again, it will be dangerous!"

"You don't need to worry about that." Executioner Scholar smiled, "Although the Wanyan Family hasn't arrived, they gave me a crucial piece of information. With this information, we can still deal with the Church people!"

"What information?" The other three immediately looked at Executioner Scholar, all surprised.

Executioner Scholar smiled and said, "According to the Wanyan Family's intelligence, Nalan Jingwei is with Huang Yunfeng and two other Peak Masters, now less than two hundred miles away in Cangyuan Town!"

"Oh? Nalan Jingwei?" Slaughter Venerable said in surprise, "Nalan Jingwei is also pretty ambitious, almost like the Wanyan Family. But what's he doing in Cangyuan Town?"

"According to the Wanyan Family's intelligence, Nalan Jingwei and his three are in Cangyuan Town, where they attacked Du Canglang and captured him. It seems they are also after Ye Qing, but for some reason, Ye Qing and Du Canglang aren't together," Executioner Scholar explained, "Coincidentally, they're in Cangyuan Town, not far from here. That's good news for us!"

"Good news?" questioned Slaughter Venerable, not realizing yet, but Snake Gentleman and Sky-Killing Master were beginning to understand.

"It's very simple." Executioner Scholar coldly laughed, "Use a borrowed knife to kill!"

"Use a borrowed knife to kill?" Slaughter Venerable was even more surprised, looking at his two smiling companions, still unsure of the plan.

Cangyuan Town, like Guimen Town, is a small town outside the Duwang Mountain Range. However, Cangyuan Town is located on the other end of the Duwang Mountain Range and is quite far from the Doomsday Sect, so naturally, it is not as famous as Guimen Town.

Inside a small building in Cangyuan Town, Nalan Jingwei and his three companions were coldly observing the man lying on the ground before them. This man was none other than Du Canglang, who was missing an arm. Covered in wounds, Du Canglang was gravely injured. Coupled with the loss of an arm, he had suffered severely during this time that he appeared much older than before, as if he could die of old age at any moment.

Nearby, Wen'er was also lying on the ground, but fortunately, she was unharmed. However, looking at Du Canglang, her face was full of worry, yet she could do nothing.

Wen'er was protected by Du Canglang as they left Mount Duwang, but shortly after arriving in Cangyuan Town, they were ambushed by the four of Nalan Jingwei. Missing an arm, Du Canglang's strength was greatly diminished, and he was naturally no match for the four. Nonetheless, given his skills, escaping wouldn't have been difficult. However, Nalan Jingwei's group captured Wen'er and used her to threaten him. In his attempt to rescue Wen'er, Du Canglang ultimately failed to escape and was injured by the four.

"Du Canglang, you were quite the figure in that era. To fall to this state, I truly feel for you!" Nalan Jingwei looked at Du Canglang and said, "My question is simple; just tell me where Ye Qing is and I'll immediately spare your life. Your injuries are severe and you're aging rapidly. If you don't heal soon, I'm afraid you won't survive the month. You've waited so long for the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates to open, surely you're not willing to just die like this?"

Du Canglang slowly lifted his head and glanced at Nalan Jingwei, spat on the ground, and said with a somber voice, "Living to this day, I've considered it a gain for me. There's no notion of being unwilling to die. But dying at the hands of scoundrels like you, that's what I'm most unwilling about. I always thought I'd die at the hands of heroes like Fu Qingping, never imagined falling victim to dogs when the tiger is down!"

Upon hearing this, the three people beside Nalan Jingwei were immediately enraged, but Nalan Jingwei, being calculating, merely smiled coldly and held back the three who were about to lose their temper.

"Senior Du is indeed a remarkable elder, and dying by our hands is truly undeserving. Nonetheless, now that things have come to this, I still urge Senior Du to consider whether dying for Ye Qing is worth it!" Nalan Jingwei said, "I know Ye Qing saved your life at Mount Duwang. But don't forget, you're missing an arm because Ye Qing cut it off!"

"No need to waste words with me. Come at me if you want to kill me!" Du Canglang said impatiently, "Quit dawdling around, do you have the demeanor of a Peak Master?"

"Du Canglang, if you want to die, I can fulfill your wish immediately. Don't think we dare not kill you!" Huang Yunfeng said furiously.

"Then kill me!" Du Canglang shouted loudly.

"You..." Huang Yunfeng, furious, was about to make a move but was stopped by Nalan Jingwei reaching out his hand. Unlike Huang Yunfeng, Nalan Jingwei wasn't impulsive. He refrained from killing Du Canglang because he still had a use for him!

"Senior Du, it seems you really won't be swayed by threats. But that's fine." Nalan Jingwei smiled coldly, slowly looking over at Wen'er, "You fear not death, yet others might. This young woman is quite pretty. There's a prison thirty kilometers from here. I wonder what would happen if I were to strip her and throw her into that prison?"

Du Canglang's expression changed. He suddenly looked up at Nalan Jingwei, a flicker of murder in his eyes. He stared at Nalan Jingwei intensely and said in a dark voice, "Nalan Jingwei, I used to think you were a worthy figure. Though calculating, you could at least be considered a hero. But I never imagined you could do something this despicable. Hmph, the Nalan Family, nothing special after all!"

Nalan Jingwei remained unperturbed, calmly saying, "I Nalan Jingwei have never claimed to be a good person. For the sake of my family, even if I bear infamy for eternity, so be it. Du Canglang, it's better you reconsider. If you truly refuse to cooperate, then I, Nalan Jingwei, will have no choice but to resort to vile acts!"

Du Canglang gritted his teeth. Were he not severely injured, he would have certainly jumped at Nalan Jingwei right then.

"Indeed, just as they say, like attracts like. You four vile and shameless people coming together, what a rarity!" Du Canglang said through clenched teeth, "Want to know Ye Qing's whereabouts, fine, I'll tell you!"

The four were delighted, and Nalan Jingwei bent down with a smile, "See, that's better. You should have said so earlier, and we wouldn't have had to go through such trouble."

As Nalan Jingwei bent down, Du Canglang suddenly opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood shot out like a blood arrow towards Nalan Jingwei.

Nalan Jingwei reacted quickly, hastily blocking the blood arrow with his hand. Though it didn't reach his face, it ripped open his palm, revealing its formidable power!
