Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1635 - 1635: Beastly Father (Fourth Update)

Seeing Fifth Brother panting heavily, Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat. Not waiting for him to run over, Ye Qing immediately went up to meet him, and urgently asked, "What happened?"Fifth Brother gasped for breath and said, "Just now... An Hongyuan came back, suddenly grabbed Little Duoduo and ran. The old lady just woke up and tried to stop him, but... he kicked her and she hit the door, and she... she fell and died..."

"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed in shock, not just Ye Qing and the others, even Bai Yuanhang's eyes widened.

"Is this... is this still human?" Bai Yuanhang couldn't help but curse angrily. Could a human really do something like this?

Ye Qing was about to speak when someone suddenly rushed out from beside him. Upon closer inspection, it was the Wolf Monk, striding towards Xiao Hua'er's house.

The Wolf Monk's speed was extremely fast, swiftly moving like the wind. Even Fifth Brother was left dumbfounded. He only knew Bai Yuanhang was a big figure, not realizing these people could use martial arts.

"Master!" Ye Qing promptly followed, while Huangfu Ziyu and Lin Tianyou also quickly sprinted away, each worried about the situation over there.

When the four arrived at Xiao Hua'er's house, Xiao Hua'er was sitting at the door crying uncontrollably, helplessly holding her grandmother lying on the ground. Although there were many people standing around, they were all sighing; in such a situation, the villagers were incapable of doing anything.

"Make way! Make way!" Ye Qing rushed over from the crowd, hurriedly went to lift the old lady from the ground, and reached out to check her breath and pulse, finding that the old woman had indeed died.

Ye Qing originally intended to use the Devouring Demon Flower to treat the old woman, but if she's dead, it's different. Although the Devouring Demon Flower can heal all injuries, it cannot resurrect the dead. Once a person dies, not even the Devouring Demon Flower can change it. Confirming the old lady had passed away, Ye Qing's heart sank, realizing it was beyond saving.

Lin Tianyou also rushed over, checked the old lady, and his expression turned grim as he slowly shook his head.

Huangfu Ziyu was comforting Xiao Hua'er beside them, but in such circumstances, how could she manage to console her?

"Where's An Hongyuan?" The Wolf Monk straightforwardly asked about An Hongyuan's whereabouts.

"He... he just ran away with Little Duoduo. I guess he's planning to sell Little Duoduo for money." Fifth Brother said tensely, "This beast tried several times to sell his daughter, but the villagers stopped him. He returned just now, took Little Duoduo, and not only killed his own mother but also stabbed Old Wu Tou at the village entrance!"

"Which way did he run?" The Wolf Monk asked in a deep voice.

"Over there." Fifth Brother quickly pointed towards Medicine King Mountain, saying, "There's a small path down the mountain that leads quickest to the main road outside. I suspect he's already found a buyer and is waiting for him on the road!"

"Alright!" The Wolf Monk was very decisive, without another word, he immediately stood up and ran in that direction.

"Master!" Ye Qing got up, trying to chase, but the Wolf Monk's speed was too fast for him, leaving Ye Qing trailing behind.

"Xiao Hua'er, stop crying, I'll take you to bring your sister back, okay?" Huangfu Ziyu held Xiao Hua'er and followed suit.

"Hey, wait for me!" Lin Tianyou also jumped up and followed closely behind.

As for Fifth Brother and the villagers, a small portion followed, but mostly stayed to help arrange the old lady's funeral.

With the Wolf Monk's swift speed, he slowed down a bit upon reaching the path to look for people. Ye Qing used Carefree Movement and managed to keep up. As for Huangfu Ziyu, she mainly kept up, but it was grueling for Lin Tianyou behind them, who couldn't use martial arts, and found the mountain path torturous.

Luckily, the path was easy to find, directly along Medicine King Mountain. Thus, Ye Qing and the others chased down the road, running for less than ten minutes before spotting someone far away holding Little Duoduo, fleeing frantically.

"Hey, stop!" Seeing him from afar, the Wolf Monk shouted angrily, charging toward him.

Hearing the voice from behind, the man was visibly startled. Turning to look, he saw the Wolf Monk approaching from afar. The man shivered and suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist, pressing it fiercely against Little Duoduo's neck, yelling, "Don't come closer! Don't come closer! Come closer and I'll kill her!"

Seeing this, the Wolf Monk suddenly stopped. His strength could easily kill this man, but Little Duoduo was in the opponent's hands, and the dagger was extremely sharp. If anything goes wrong, Little Duoduo's life would be in jeopardy here. Little Duoduo is only four or five years old, and her neck is where the blood vessel is located; it can't suffer any harm.

"Are you An Hongyuan?" The Wolf Monk frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"You... you know me?" The man replied tremblingly.

"Hmph, I've heard about your scandals!" The Wolf Monk said in a deep voice, "I advise you to put Little Duoduo down immediately. I'll spare your life then. Otherwise, I will ensure you die a painful death!"

"Don't scare me, you bastard!" An Hongyuan yelled furiously, "Damn monk, you dare interfere in my affairs; you believe I won't stab you. *******, I'm not in the mood to play with you today, get out of my way. Otherwise, if you push me, I'll shed your blood today!"

"Then release the child, and come to bleed me first!" the Wolf Monk shouted, taking a step forward.

"Stop right there!" An Hongyuan hurriedly stepped back two paces, his dagger pushing further forward, immediately cutting a gash on Little Duoduo's neck, and blood gushed out. Little Duoduo, just a child, couldn't withstand such pain and cried loudly.

Seeing this, the Wolf Monk also stopped immediately. The distance between him and An Hongyuan was considerable, and he wasn't confident he could directly rescue the child.

At this moment, Ye Qing and Lin Tianyou also arrived. Seeing the situation, Ye Qing immediately frowned and said sternly, "An Hongyuan, you killed your mother, are you even trying to kill your own daughter? I'm telling you, murder demands justice. No matter how much you've sinned, even if you escape to the Ends of the Earth, you can't hide!"

"Don't you damn well speak this nonsense to me; this is my family affair, not for you to interfere!" An Hongyuan shouted angrily, "Back off quickly, or else I'll kill her!"

"If you dare lay a finger on her, you'll regret your own existence!" the Wolf Monk gritted his teeth.

"An Hongyuan, what you're doing is illegal and will be severely punished by law!" Lin Tianyou panted beside him, running alongside Ye Qing was a tiring task.

"Don't talk to me about what's legal or not, this is my family affair, not for you to interfere!" An Hongyuan shouted angrily, "Back off quickly, don't disrupt my business. Otherwise, I'll kill her and we'll all go up in flames together!"

"Business?" At this moment, a cold voice came from behind An Hongyuan, "I think your business is over!"

An Hongyuan turned his head, only to see Huangfu Ziyu standing not far behind him. Huangfu Ziyu was holding Xiao Hua'er, and at Huangfu Ziyu's feet lay two corpses. Upon closer inspection, they were the two people he was meeting.

"Wu San'er, Liu Yong?" An Hongyuan exclaimed, he recognized these two people well.

"No need to shout; they can't hear you anymore!" Huangfu Ziyu coldly laughed at An Hongyuan, saying, "Trafficking children deserves death! I've sent them on their way. An Hongyuan, you're next!"

"Wha... what?" An Hongyuan's eyes widened, truly frightened. He hadn't expected to meet such formidable people tonight.

Ye Qing also finally understood why Huangfu Ziyu hadn't followed them. It seemed Huangfu Ziyu had gone directly to the highway, killed the two traffickers, and brought them over.

"An Hongyuan, the child is innocent. Hand over the child, and the law might still be lenient!" Lin Tianyou admonished.

"Hand over the child, and I'll spare your life!" the Wolf Monk ordered sternly.

"Daddy, Daddy..." Xiao Hua'er just cried loudly, petrified by the scene before her.

"You... don't scare me, I'm... I'm not afraid..." An Hongyuan's voice trembled, surrounded by people on both sides, the pressure was too much for him to bear.

"Release the child, and I'll spare your life!" The Wolf Monk insisted on this phrase.

"Quickly release the child, or do you want me to kill you first?" Huangfu Ziyu said impatiently.

"Something's wrong..." Lin Tianyou suddenly exclaimed, "Why... why isn't the child crying?"

With these words, Ye Qing and the others suddenly realized. Indeed, Little Duoduo was crying from pain just a moment ago. Why is it suddenly quiet now?

The three looked intently, only to be horrified to find that An Hongyuan's dagger had plunged halfway into Little Duoduo's neck. Blood stained Little Duoduo's entire body, and she had lost all signs of life, her eyes staring blankly at the ground as if accusing the world of injustice.

"You... you actually killed Little Duoduo!" Huangfu Ziyu raged.

"Ah!" The Wolf Monk roared in anger, unable to hold back any longer, he charged towards An Hongyuan.

An Hongyuan also shouted in alarm, seeing the ferocious Wolf Monk advancing, he suddenly threw Little Duoduo aside and turned to run towards the mountain behind him.

"Where do you think you're going!" The Wolf Monk roared angrily, swiftly chasing after him, but An Hongyuan had already run into the small mountain grove.

The Wolf Monk was about to enter in pursuit, but behind him came the anxious voice of Old Five An: "Master, don't go in there, that's Medicine King Mountain!"

The Wolf Monk hesitated for a moment, and in that instant, An Hongyuan vanished into the grove, as if he had never appeared.

At this time, Old Five An reached the group, panting heavily, and said to everyone, "Medicine King Mountain is very dangerous, no one goes in there and comes out. This... this small grove is the boundary line, absolutely... don't step in, or else... you'll never come out..."
