Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1500 - 1500: The Earl Catches Up

Ye Qing walked all the way, constantly studying that map. Baron T Colin had hidden the map so securely, clearly indicating it was of great importance. Moreover, these foreigners were so sinister; what they were plotting was undoubtedly not simple.But what exactly was hidden on this map? This map was taken from those foreigners, so where were the marked locations? Could it be abroad? For the things on this map, does one have to make a trip abroad?

Ye Qing was filled with doubts. Actually, he did not have many thoughts about the things on the map because he wasn't a greedy person. The reason he took the map from Baron T Colin was mainly for national security. This map must be connected to something significant; having it on the Huaxia side is better than letting those foreigners get it.

With nothing happening along the way, Ye Qing finally arrived at the foot of Dragon Burial Mountain at around five in the morning. Of course, in Humeng City during winter, at five in the morning, the sky was still dark as night, and with the moon down and stars sparse, the light was even dimmer than before. This is also called the darkness before dawn, where there's always a period of particular darkness before the light of day.

Before coming to Dragon Burial Mountain, Ye Qing had already observed its situation from afar. This Dragon Burial Mountain in Humeng City could be considered a relatively large mountain range. The mountains stretched and twisted for hundreds of miles, taking up a vast area. Trying to find Huangfu Ziyu on this mountain wasn't an easy task.

However, fortunately, the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance had built a great tomb on the outskirts of the place where the Sun Shooting Bow was sealed, which was a significant location. Ye Qing only needed to find that great tomb to find Huangfu Ziyu and others. Undoubtedly, Huangfu Ziyu and the others were guarding near that great tomb.

But finding a great tomb on such a large mountain wasn't an easy job either. However, since he had made it here, Ye Qing couldn't just give up halfway. It seemed that he had to take a few laps around Dragon Burial Mountain, doing a carpet-style search to find the great tomb built by the Hong Alliance's Seven Rudders.

After observing at the foot of the mountain, Ye Qing chose one of the paths and headed straight towards the mountain top. He planned to first climb to the top, carefully observing the surroundings. Despite the complex terrain, being higher gave a broader view, allowing him to initially screen out quite a few places.

Dragon Burial Mountain was evidently an undeveloped mountain, with winding and twisting mountain paths, all being curved and narrow old paths. Going up the mountain was not easy. However, this had little impact on Ye Qing; his Inner Strength was abundant, and having also learned some Carefree Movement Qinggong, his speed in climbing the mountain far exceeded that of ordinary people.

After walking along the mountain path for a dozen minutes, Ye Qing climbed a third of the height; the altitude of Dragon Burial Mountain wasn't high, mainly spreading out far. Along the way, Ye Qing had no special discoveries, not even seeing a single human figure, which puzzled Ye Qing greatly.

Logically speaking, the Sun Shooting Bow was about to appear, so the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance should be very alert and fully prepared to defend this area. They should have sent people to guard Dragon Burial Mountain and prevent anyone from going up. But why, at this time, was there still no one on Dragon Burial Mountain? What on earth was going on?

However, this question didn't linger long before Ye Qing figured out the main reason. Actually, now that people were coming to Humeng City to seize the Sun Shooting Bow, not one of them wasn't a top-level expert. If the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance truly sent people to guard Dragon Burial Mountain, they honestly wouldn't be able to guard against these experts. Moreover, if they did send people to guard, it would allow others to guess the location of the great tomb based on their defensive positioning, which would be disadvantageous to the Hong Alliance's Seven Rudders. Therefore, they had not sent anyone to guard, which was to ensure that people wouldn't find the location of the great tomb.

This speculation left Ye Qing a bit frustrated; he clearly understood that the Hong Alliance's Seven Rudders hadn't sent anyone to guard because they were confident that outsiders wouldn't find the great tomb. So Ye Qing could conclude that the great tomb of the Hong Alliance's Seven Rudders was surely very hidden, not easily found. Ye Qing feared he would need to put in a lot of effort to find this great tomb!

"Alas!" Looking at the sprawling Dragon Burial Mountain, Ye Qing sighed helplessly. Searching for Huangfu Ziyu on this mountain was akin to finding a needle in a haystack. It seemed he must think of another way.

"Hehehe..." At this moment, a cold laugh suddenly came from behind Ye Qing.

Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat; this sound wasn't far from him, meaning this person stood not far behind him. And Ye Qing hadn't felt a thing, indicating that the person's strength was far above his own.

"Who is it?" Ye Qing immediately turned to look, only to see a man in black standing not far behind. The man's face was pale, somewhat similar to the previous Baron T Colin. However, clearly, this man's aura was much stronger than that of Baron T Colin, even terrifying. His strength should be far above that of T Colin.

This man was Count Tony. Upon learning that Ye Qing's strength wasn't even as much as Baron T Colin's, he had a sudden desire to kill. He had chased all the way over to kill Ye Qing. This way, he could boast upon returning, having killed a National Martial Artist of Huaxia and avenged Baron T Colin, surely earning a reward.

Count Tony was extremely fast, bringing along two beast-like people with highly sensitive senses. Unexpectedly, they had tracked Ye Qing to Dragon Burial Mountain.

"Are you the Huaxia Countryman who killed T Colin?" Count Tony scanned Ye Qing from top to bottom, sneeringly, "Hmph, I am the great Count Tony, here to avenge T Colin!"

Count Tony spoke in English, which Ye Qing happened to understand. He frowned, saying in a deep voice, "I don't know who you're talking about. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving!"

Ye Qing also spoke in English. He had actually guessed that this Count Tony must be with the previous Baron T Colin. However, he could tell that Count Tony was extremely powerful, so he didn't intend to fight to the death, still searching with his eyes for an escape route.

"So you speak English, even better!" Count Tony said arrogantly, "Ignorant and lowly Huaxia Martial Artist, don't you know to come over obediently and beg for mercy before the great Count Tony? If you force me to make a move, I'll let you taste the greatest suffering of this world!"

Ye Qing could see clearly that this Count Tony was extremely conceited but had the reason to be so. While silently grasping the box containing the Poisonous Bees in his hand, Ye Qing said in a deep voice, "This is Huaxia; I think the one who should be begging for mercy is you. Most of Huaxia's top-level Martial Artists are gathered here. If they see you, you'll truly know what the greatest suffering is!"

"Such audacity to try and scare me!" Count Tony was furious, pointing a finger at Ye Qing, and shouted, "Huaxia Martial Artists are nothing but trash. Today, I'll let you see our marvelous skills!"

Count Tony shouted, his body rising directly like an eagle pouncing on a rabbit, charging straight at Ye Qing.

Seeing Count Tony make a move, Ye Qing's expression changed again. This Count Tony, like the previous Baron T Colin, had an extremely strange skill set. Completely devoid of any martial techniques but possessed terrifying speed and strength. Most critically, their bodies seemed almost weightless, capable of suddenly floating, making it exceedingly hard to defend against.

As Count Tony dashed over at high speed, Ye Qing deployed his Heavenly Gangs and Northern Dipper Stepping Technique, taking three consecutive steps to dodge. However, Count Tony's speed was so fast that even with the Heavenly Gangs and Northern Dipper Stepping Technique, Ye Qing was still a step too slow. Count Tony managed to grab Ye Qing's arm, cutting a slash into his arm.

Ye Qing grunted, not daring to hesitate even a bit, immediately throwing the box containing the Poisonous Bees at Count Tony with his other hand.

Count Tony, like the previous Baron T Colin, had no idea what this was, and grabbed the box to shatter it in his hands. But as expected, the box burst open, and the Poisonous Bees immediately scattered, buzzing around and stung him several times on his hand and face.

"What is this!?" Count Tony cried out in pain several times. However, his speed far surpassed that of Baron T Colin, and those Poisonous Bees, failing to keep up with him, stung him a few more times on his hand and face.

Even so, Count Tony was stung several times, leaving him with welts on his hands and face. This caused his entire body to erupt in painful convulsions. He gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Ye Qing, and said in a deep voice, "Despicable and treacherous Huaxia person, to use such vile insects for an ambush!"

Ye Qing witnessed it with his own eyes, those Poisonous Bees stinging Count Tony several times. The venom of these Poisonous Bees was extremely deadly, and he thought that with those few stings, it should either kill or at least severely wound Count Tony. However, Count Tony seemed only lightly stung by normal bees, with just a few bumps, his abilities not weakened in the slightest, which was completely beyond Ye Qing's expectations.

Seeing Count Tony roaring furiously, Ye Qing immediately turned to run without a word. Even the Poisonous Bees couldn't hurt Count Tony, so staying here would mean certain death!
