Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1906 - 1906: The Hidden Nalan Jingwei

With a long howl, Fu Qingping's Qingping Sword directly blocked Huang Yunfeng's long knife. At the same time, he swiftly drew his sword, and the renowned Qingping Sword shot out of its sheath, a flash of Qing Mang almost like lightning, slashing towards the incoming person's wrist."Hey!" The person let out a deep shout, using the Thousand Jin Drop technique, suddenly dropping from mid-air, standing beside Huang Yunfeng. The fierce momentum was abruptly halted by him, earning admiration for his formidable strength.

Seeing someone step in, Huang Yunfeng was momentarily stunned. He turned his head to look, only to see that it was a thin and small old man who seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen him before.

Seeing this person, Ye Qing's expression changed, and he said solemnly, "Nalan Jingwei, it's you again!"

The person was indeed Prince Nalan of the Capital. With his fists clenched, he looked coldly at Ye Qing and said, "Ye Qing, long time no see!"

Looking at Nalan Jingwei, Ye Qing's expression turned icy cold. Last time, when Nalan Jingwei went to Shenchuan City to help deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon, the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance and Sha Men ceased pursuing old grudges with him. Who would have thought that this Nalan Jingwei would be so ungrateful, attacking him again here at the Huang Family Manor!

"Are you Nalan Jingwei!?" Fu Qingping and Huang Yunfeng simultaneously exclaimed in low voices. Nalan Jingwei was much older, only a bit younger than them, and both had seen him before. So, looking at him, both found him somewhat familiar.

"Green Reed Swordsman!" Nalan Jingwei sneered at Fu Qingping, then turned to Huang Yunfeng, saying, "Elder Huang, it's been years, and you still carry such grace!"

Huang Yunfeng furrowed his brows slightly. He had no dealings with the Nalan Family, and Nalan Jingwei's sudden appearance at the Huang Family made him uncomfortable. He knew that Nalan Jingwei simply wanted a share of the Buddha's Relic.

"Nalan Jingwei, do you also wish to stop me?" Fu Qingping slowly raised his Qingping Sword and calmly asked.

"My Nalan Family has long been allied with the Huang Family, what concerns the Huang Family concerns my Nalan Family," Nalan Jingwei declared loudly. "Green Reed Swordsman, while your skill is formidable, I cannot stand by and watch you bullying others with your might. Today, I shall stand shoulder to shoulder with Elder Huang and fight to the end. I want to see just how strong your skills as a Green Reed Swordsman really are, to take on the both of us together!"

Fu Qingping furrowed his brow. Though his skill was indeed strong, facing two Peak Masters at the same time was not easy to handle. Moreover, Huang Yunfeng was already quite strong, and Nalan Jingwei's power seemed no less than Huang Yunfeng's. If the two joined forces, at best Fu Qingping could fight to a draw with them, but protecting Ye Qing and the others behind him would be nearly impossible.

Huang Yunfeng was surprised as he glanced at Nalan Jingwei. He had never heard of any alliance with the Huang Family, but he understood Nalan Jingwei's intent was to join the Huang Family against Fu Qingping, which was good news for Huang Yunfeng.

Regardless of Nalan Jingwei's true intent for coming here, alone, Huang Yunfeng was certainly no match for Fu Qingping. Unable to defeat Fu Qingping, even his own life was at risk. Now, suddenly having such a master to help against Fu Qingping was indeed fortunate. Even if Nalan Jingwei harbored ulterior motives, this was the Huang Family's territory. Once they defeated Fu Qingping and immediately took the Buddha's Relic from Ye Qing, there'd be no need to fear Nalan Jingwei.

Having figured this out, Huang Yunfeng's previously furrowed brows eased, and he coldly smiled at Fu Qingping, saying, "Fu Qingping, this matter doesn't concern you. I advise you not to get involved. Leave now, and you can walk out of the Huang Family Manor alive. If you insist on fighting to the bitter end, tonight will be your death!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Qingping caressed his sword and laughed loudly, saying, "I am one who never listens to advice. I have roamed the world for decades without tasting defeat. The two of you come at me together, and I'll see what tactics you can use to kill me!"

With that, Fu Qingping waved his Qingping Sword, pointing it at Nalan Jingwei from afar. Infuriated by Nalan Jingwei's sneak attack, he launched the first assault towards him.

Huang Yunfeng immediately raised his long knife to block Fu Qingping's strike, and Nalan Jingwei also threw out both fists, joining forces with Huang Yunfeng as they attacked Fu Qingping.

Everyone from the Huang Family at the scene was stunned. Initially, it was a duel between two peak masters, and they couldn't make out the specifics. Now, it's a three-way duel between peak masters, making the scene even more complex. Besides, even Fu Qingping is exerting full effort; all they could see was a Sword Shadow enveloping the three, but everything else was blurred.

Du Canglang stood among the crowd, his strength the greatest, so he could naturally discern the details of the duel between the three. Fu Qingping wielded the Qingping Sword flawlessly, his sword moves were fierce, relentlessly delivering one move after another. One man, one sword, astonishingly forcing the two into a desperate defense, showing the might of Fu Qingping's strength.

Du Canglang couldn't help but marvel again at Fu Qingping's prowess, but his attention was more on Ye Qing behind them. While the three were locked in an indecisive battle, he also quietly slipped away from the crowd, standing not far from Ye Qing.

Fu Qingping was now wholeheartedly engaging Huang Yunfeng and Nalan Jingwei, with no time to divert attention to other matters, naturally missing Du Canglang's approach.

Nalan Jingwei assisted Huang Yunfeng, originally believing that their combined strength could easily defeat Fu Qingping. He hadn't anticipated the formidable power Fu Qingping unleashed. Seeing the increasingly fierce attacks from the Qingping Sword, he was in distress. Had he known Fu Qingping possessed such strength, he wouldn't have joined the fray, knowing now he has faced such a formidable foe. Failing to catch Ye Qing and snatch the Buddha's Relic, instead inviting trouble—it was truly regrettable.

Huang Yunfeng sensed Nalan Jingwei's slight inclination to retreat, feeling startled and angry. At this stage, if Nalan Jingwei suddenly withdraws, leaving him alone, he would be powerless against Fu Qingping.

"Prince Nalan, the initial assault of the Qingping Sword is the most fierce. If we withstand this first wave, he'll be out of tricks!" Huang Yunfeng shouted, "His sword moves are beginning to weaken, don't be intimidated. Together, we'll surely kill him!"

Hearing this, Nalan Jingwei felt somewhat reassured. He had indeed been planning to retreat. Now, receiving this information, he fought without worry, joining forces with Huang Yunfeng against Fu Qingping's sword moves.

Du Canglang watched the three-person duel, calculating silently. He was aware that Fu Qingping's Qingping Sword had a Unique Skill, once unleashed, it couldn't be stopped. If he used it, Huang Yunfeng and Nalan Jingwei would surely have to face it with all their might, or else face certain death. He was waiting for this move; if Fu Qingping executed it, he would rush out to seize Ye Qing and escape. With Fu Qingping unable to retract his move, Huang Yunfeng and Nalan Jingwei unable to retreat, no one could stop him.

The duelists had no idea that Du Canglang was scheming beside them. In their intense clash, none dared to slacken. Finally, Fu Qingping finished his sword moves, an intense gleam flashing in his eyes, suddenly hurling his sword into the air, roaring: "Sword Slash the World!"

With Fu Qingping's roar, the Qingping Sword disintegrated instantly into countless fragments, like miniature swords, swooping down on Nalan Jingwei and Huang Yunfeng.

"Not good!" Huang Yunfeng exclaimed, too late to dodge, hastily waving his long knife for defense.

Nalan Jingwei was astounded, never having seen such a situation, never imagining the long sword could disassemble into so many small swords. As these myriad little swords rushed towards him, he dared not underestimate them, quickly retreating two steps, shouting: "Step by Step Producing Golden Lotus!"

Almost simultaneously with Nalan Jingwei's shout, a figure suddenly dashed out from the crowd, in an instant reaching Ye Qing's side. Ye Qing hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was futile; this person reached out, grabbed him, and without hesitation, swiftly turned and fled. The process was as seamless as flowing water, without pause or hindrance, capturing Ye Qing and rushing away within seconds.

At this moment, the battle between Huang Yunfeng, Nalan Jingwei, and Fu Qingping reached a fever pitch. Despite Fu Qingping witnessing the person's action, he was fully committed to the Sword Slash the World, unable to turn to rescue Ye Qing. After all, once this move was executed, it couldn't be reversed. As for Huang Yunfeng and Nalan Jingwei, they were barely able to dodge and block Fu Qingping's move, with no time to worry about anything else. Thus, right before their eyes, the person seized Ye Qing, injuring seven or eight members of the Huang Family, and charged out from the Dungeon.

Fu Qingping's Sword Slash the World possessed tremendous power, the countless tiny swords sweeping madly, Huang Yunfeng bore the brunt, his long knife clattering fervently. However, ultimately, he couldn't fend off so many little swords, emerging with dozens of wounds. Thanks to his shrewdness, he protected vital areas with the long knife, avoiding severe injuries.

As for Nalan Jingwei, his situation was considerably better. Step by Step Golden Lotus was a Unique Skill left by Patriarch Bodhidharma, reputed as the strongest defense. With Golden Lotus Body Protection, the small swords couldn't pierce it. Yet, against so many small swords simultaneously, his Protective Golden Lotus couldn't withstand, shattered by the Sword Qi. Like Fu Qingping, he ended up with many sword cuts on his body.
