Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 2003 - 2003: The Battle Begins

Before the Great Lord fought Fu Qingping and the others, he was very clear about their strength, which is why he was so forceful, attempting an ambush on two people. Originally, he wanted to push these two back simultaneously, but he didn't anticipate that the person beside Fu Qingping had become Nalan Jingwei. And Nalan Jingwei's strength is incomparably above that of Slaughter Venerable and the others!The three of them, with their six hands, collided together. Despite the Great Lord's powerful strike, Nalan Jingwei and Fu Qingping were somewhat passive. However, he faced two opponents alone, still fell short and was pushed back by them. He couldn't push Fu Qingping and Nalan Jingwei back, but took several steps back himself, making his expression extremely unpleasant.

This situation also greatly shook Nalan Jingwei. The Great Lord, facing two adversaries, only retreated a few steps; his strength is likely not much different from Du Canglang at his prime!

He gasped, looking at the Great Lord, and softly said, "How is this person's strength so formidable?"

"I told you before, didn't I? Among them is a Great Lord, and it's this person now!" Fu Qingping replied softly.

"The Great Lord!" Nalan Jingwei frowned, staring intently at the Great Lord, his expression considerably more grave.

At the same time, seven or eight people emerged from the surroundings, none other than those Peak Masters of the Church. Actually, they were inside the warehouse earlier. The Great Lord first heard the commotion from Nalan Jingwei and Fu Qingping, gestured for them to surround beforehand, while he launched a frontal assault, precisely to buy time for the encirclement.

It was now perfect timing; although the Great Lord suffered a slight setback, the Church's people also surrounded Nalan Jingwei and Fu Qingping in the middle. Even though their strength is formidable, being surrounded by so many Peak Masters, their hearts inevitably began to panic.

"Why only two people?" The Great Lord scanned Nalan Jingwei, said in a deep voice: "Aren't you with them? Who are you? And where are the other three?"

The Great Lord's words naturally had an elder who speaks Huaxia translate them. Fu Qingping sneered coldly, pointing at Nalan Jingwei beside him, saying: "His name is Nalan Jingwei. Oh, and he has a nickname, Prince Nalan!"

"Prince Nalan!" The Great Lord's expression changed immediately, and the Church there controlled Huaxia's strength very well, naturally he had heard of Prince Nalan's name. Thinking back, it's no wonder he was pushed back earlier by these two. Fortunately, he attacked with force. If he hadn't, and allowed Fu Qingping and Nalan Jingwei time to gather strength, he might've been injured in that exchange!

Nalan Jingwei's face became awkward, it'd be better if Fu Qingping didn't mention his name; at least the focus would remain on Fu Qingping. Now that Fu Qingping mentioned his name, the Great Lord's focus was even more on him. Moreover, this conflict with the Church isn't a good thing. When Heaven Earth Man Three Gates open, the Church will fully invade too. Then, they will also seek revenge against Huaxia for old grievances. This conflict now, if known by the Church, may lead to trouble for the Nalan Family when the Church enters Huaxia Country.

Fu Qingping, however, was coldly laughing inside. Although Nalan Jingwei is shrewd, he's not foolish. Since he led Nalan Jingwei here this time, he planned it all, regardless of the outcome, intending to drag Nalan Jingwei down. By revealing Nalan Jingwei's name, he intended to fully entangle him in the matter, setting a trap for Nalan Jingwei.

"Seems like Huaxia's experts are ready to strike at us!" The Great Lord took a deep breath, coldly watching Nalan Jingwei and Fu Qingping, said in a deep voice: "But, do you think just a few of you can be our opponent?"

"Who said it's just a few of us!" Fu Qingping sneered, suddenly lifted his head and shouted: "Third Brother, start fighting!"

Fu Qingping's voice was loud, echoing far in the silent night, clearly heard by Slaughter Venerable and the others outside.

"Go, start fighting!" Slaughter Venerable immediately jumped up, rushing towards the factory area.

Huang Yunfeng and the others were somewhat hesitant; Nalan Jingwei hadn't spoken yet, and they didn't know what the situation was inside the factory.

"Prince Nalan, what's the situation inside?" Huang Yunfeng shouted: "Should we get in to help?"

At this point, Nalan Jingwei had no choice. With so many experts from the Church here, unless they united with Fu Qingping and others, only then they'd have a chance. Otherwise, they would definitely suffer losses. So, hearing Huang Yunfeng's words, Nalan Jingwei didn't hesitate at all, directly shouting: "Come in!"

When the Executioner Scholar screamed for the Slaughter Venerable, the Great Lord already realized the situation was dire. So, as soon as the Executioner Scholar's words fell, the Great Lord waved his hand directly and shouted, "Kill them!"

The people of the Church had been waiting, and upon receiving the Great Lord's command, they immediately rushed forward together, heading toward the Executioner Scholar and Nalan Jingwei.

Although none of these Church members were a match for the Executioner Scholar individually, charging together was a different matter. The Executioner Scholar dared not hesitate nor fight them head-on. Seeing them rush over, he quickly turned and ran, defending and dodging, mainly waiting for outside reinforcements to help.

As for Nalan Jingwei, his situation was similar to the Executioner Scholar; he was also seasoned and naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to fight so many Peak Masters head-on. However, just as he dodged two steps, a shadow suddenly rushed over from the side, the Great Lord himself. His fingernails seemed like ten sharp blades, aiming straight for Nalan Jingwei's chest. Considering the sharpness of the nails, Nalan Jingwei did not doubt that if caught, he would likely end up with his insides ruined.

He wanted to dodge, but three others tightly pressed behind him, leaving him no chance to retreat. Four Peak Masters were attacking in unison, especially as the Great Lord's strength faintly surpassed his own, making the situation perilous.

Seeing Nalan Jingwei caught in such a crisis, a sly smile flashed across the Great Lord's face. Having heard Nalan Jingwei's name earlier, most of his attention was naturally focused on him, as the Five Unmatches of the World's reputation was too grand. He struck with full power, intending to defeat Nalan Jingwei first to avoid prolonged worries.

In the face of such peril, Nalan Jingwei suddenly breathed out and simply stopped dodging. He slowly took a step forward, and with this step, a golden lotus suddenly surrounded him, enveloping him completely. The joint attack of the four Peak Masters hit the golden lotus but couldn't harm Nalan Jingwei within it at all!

Step by Step Golden Lotus, an ultimate technique passed down from Patriarch Bodhidharma, was exceptionally powerful. Nalan Jingwei had used this technique to fend off Fu Qingping's Sword Slash the World, demonstrating its formidable defense. Now it also blocked the siege of these four Peak Masters. Although the golden lotus was shattered, Nalan Jingwei remained unscathed. However, the power hitting the golden lotus slightly stirred his inner energy, which was awe-inspiring.

One man's strength withstanding the attack of four Peak Masters, particularly when one of them overwhelmed him in strength. Such a feat would undeniably shock anyone!

The Great Lord was deeply shaken by his unsuccessful strike. Knowing nothing of the Step by Step Golden Lotus technique, he watched the golden lotus shatter with astonishment.

As for the other three Peak Masters, they were even more astounded. One of them, the Red-robed Archbishop, couldn't help but exclaim, "How... how does that technique resemble our Church's Holy Light Shield?"

Hearing this, the Great Lord's heart skipped a beat; indeed, the Church's Holy Light Shield was quite similar to Nalan Jingwei's technique, forming a Protective Aura with Inner Strength to block attacks. However, Nalan Jingwei's technique seemed even stronger than the Church's Holy Light Shield; what was going on?

In the distance, the Executioner Scholar noticed the situation as well, marveling at the Step by Step Golden Lotus. But before he could dwell on it further, an angry shout suddenly came from outside: "Damn, these bastards want to bully with numbers again. Fourth Brother, don't fear, Third Brother is here!"

Hearing the shout, the Executioner Scholar didn't need to look to know it was the Slaughter Venerable.

The Great Lord turned to look in the direction of the shout and saw the Slaughter Venerable rushing over with three people. Seeing this, he furrowed his brows. Now five people were on their side, making it slightly difficult to kill them. However, he wasn't too concerned, as they still had the advantage in numbers!

"Hmph, you only have five people; in this battle, you are bound to lose!" the Great Lord said sternly.

"Oh really?" the Executioner Scholar replied with a cold smile, "Turn around and see."

With chaos all around and sounds of fighting everywhere, the Great Lord hadn't paid much attention to the situation behind him. Now hearing the Executioner Scholar, he immediately turned, just in time to see three more people running in.

"Who are these people?" The Great Lord's face finally changed. He could tell these three were also Peak Masters. Now there were suddenly eight Peak Masters on the opposing side. Although they had ten Peak Masters on their side, their battle power clearly couldn't match these eight from Huaxia. If a fight broke out, victory was indeed uncertain.
