Urban Martial Saint

The reason why the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect fears the Bloody Monk is also because this Bloody Monk comes from Xiaolin Temple.

Although the Sword Saint Sect is powerful now and respected by everyone under the heavens, compared to Xiaolin Temple, the Sword Saint Sect is still insignificant. Even though Xiaolin Temple is no longer, it remains the supreme place of the Buddhist Sect in Huaxia. Although Xiaolin Temple's top master of modern times, Shijia, is still no match for the Sect Leader of the Sword Saint Sect, before he came out, the Sect Leader repeatedly warned him to never provoke Xiaolin Temple, which shows that this Sect Leader is somewhat afraid of Xiaolin Temple too.

And now, with things having escalated to this point, the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect finds himself in a very embarrassing situation. The Sword Saint Sect harbors some fear towards Xiaolin Temple, and if the Bloody Monk truly wants to kill him, he probably wouldn't hesitate. On the contrary, even if he were killed, the Sword Saint Sect might not risk its life to fight Xiaolin Temple for him.

Therefore, the Bloody Monk's words put the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect in a difficult spot. He wants to say a few words to maintain some face, but he is also afraid of completely angering the Bloody Monk, so he simply pretends not to hear.

"Mr. Ye, speak clearly!" The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect looked at Ye Qing and said loudly, "I want to duel with you, how does this count as despicable and shameless? You have insulted this Young Master without reason, how can I tolerate you?"

After saying this, the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect looked proudly at the few servants behind him. Earlier, Ye Qing kept finding flaws in his words, but now, he caught a flaw in Ye Qing's words instead, ready to refute Ye Qing with it, so that the challenge would have a legitimate reason and wouldn't be mocked by the world.

"Young Master, your question is rather foolish!" Ye Qing's response surprised the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect, as he not only evaded the question but insulted him further, which made the Young Master even more angry.

"Mr. Ye, I'll say it again, whatever you say must make sense!" The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect said sternly, "Otherwise, I will kill you in front of all the heroes under the heavens to defend the honor of the Sword Saint Sect!"

"What a mighty demeanor the Young Master has!" Ye Qing laughed, looking at everyone present, and said loudly, "Mr. Ye has always spoken with reason and basis. If the Young Master wants to know the reason, let Mr. Ye analyze it for you!"

"If you can't give a specific reason, this Young Master will certainly not let you off!" The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect said sternly, while contemplating why Ye Qing would insult him this way. After thinking it over, he still didn't know what he'd done wrong, except the issue with Shen Qingyi might be brought up by Ye Qing. Regarding this matter, the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect had already prepared an excuse to refute immediately as soon as Ye Qing mentioned it. So he felt quite smug inside, ready to thoroughly suppress Ye Qing this time.

Ye Qing took a deep breath and said loudly, "I wonder if the Young Master has heard about the Corpse Ghost Dragon?"

While in the Sword Saint Sect, the Young Master had already heard about the Corpse Ghost Dragon and knew about Ye Qing using Buddha's Relic to kill the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Hearing this, he just nodded slightly.

Ye Qing said loudly, "Since the Young Master knows about the Corpse Ghost Dragon, you should also know about how the power of the Buddha's Relic destroyed all my meridians in the battle with it, right?"

This matter was something the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect had also heard about. In fact, a few days ago on Chatiang Peak, someone openly talked about it. Denying it now was impossible. Hearing this, he was already feeling uneasy.

Seeing the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect silent, Ye Qing continued, "Mr. Ye's meridians were destroyed completely, and not only was all martial arts crippled, but it's impossible to practice martial arts again in this lifetime. In other words, Mr. Ye is now just an ordinary person who knows nothing of martial arts. Yet, the Young Master, being a Peak Master, challenges someone like Mr. Ye, who has no martial arts, while threatening life and death. Ha ha, doesn't this behavior of the Young Master count as a bit despicable and shameless?"

Upon this statement, the whole audience broke into laughter. People finally understood what Ye Qing was talking about, and indeed, these words were indisputable. Challenging someone who knows martial arts with Peak Master's abilities is already shameful, let alone challenging someone without martial arts—a truly despicable and shameless act.

"You... you..." The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect was stifled, his face red, but unable to retort. Such a situation, whoever faced it, would be unable to argue.

After stuttering a few times, the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect suddenly shouted angrily, "Then... then you say this Young Master is foolish, isn't this an insult to this Young Master?"

"Young Master, I really don't know what to say to you!" Ye Qing said, "You know very well I have no martial arts, yet still challenge me—this is despicable and shameless. And you ask why I say you're despicable and shameless—tell me, does this mean your mind is problematic, that you're foolish?"

These words caused another burst of laughter from the crowd. Many present had previously been slighted by the Knife Saint Sect and had long sought an opportunity to vent. Moreover, with just a few words earlier, Ye Qing had managed to redirect much of their anger toward the Knife Saint Sect. Now, seeing the Young Master of the Knife Saint Sect humiliated, the majority of the audience felt an overwhelming sense of joy.

However, it was only Wanyan Hongsheng and his followers whose hearts lacked joy. Wanyan Hongsheng had originally intended to use the hands of the Young Master of the Knife Saint Sect to force Ye Qing to hand over the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. Who would have thought that before retrieving anything, the Young Master of the Knife Saint Sect would be so utterly humiliated by Ye Qing's words, leaving him to secretly curse the Young Master of the Knife Saint Sect as a useless fool? How could he allow himself to be humiliated in such a manner by Ye Qing?

The face of the Young Master of the Knife Saint Sect turned crimson with anger. He gritted his teeth and glared at Ye Qing, and said in a deep voice, "Ye, you're ruthless!"

Ye Qing replied loudly, "I couldn't quite understand those words from the Young Master. What is so ruthless about me? A Peak Master challenging someone who knows no martial arts to a life-or-death duel, now that's truly ruthless!"

The Young Master of the Knife Saint Sect was infuriated, wanting nothing more than to rush forward and punch Ye Qing to death. However, Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk were both seated nearby, their eyes also glinting with hostility towards him. If he were to make a move now, he might not even manage to kill Ye Qing before being overwhelmed himself.

The lead servant, observing the situation, couldn't help but sigh with a sense of decided bleakness. Following such an inept Young Master was truly disgraceful. However, being a servant, he had to step forward for such matters, otherwise, the situation would only deteriorate further.

"Ye Qing, I hope you won't change the subject. The grand assembly today isn't here to watch your clown act!" the servant said loudly. "Hand over the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master first, then we can discuss other issues!"

This servant clearly intended to shift everyone's attention back to the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master, rather than leaving it on the Young Master of the Knife Saint Sect.

"I have said I will hand over the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. However, before that, I want to say a few words." Ye Qing declared loudly. "The heroes of the world can wait, so why can't the members of the Knife Saint Sect? The items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master haven't even been produced yet, does the Knife Saint Sect really believe it's already theirs?"

These words drew numerous dissatisfied glances toward the members of the Knife Saint Sect. Truth be told, when everyone sought to seize the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master, their greatest adversary was indeed the Knife Saint Sect due to their formidable strength and uncompromising nature. People were very discontent with them, only daring to be angry but not to speak up. Now that Ye Qing had voiced these thoughts, it resonated with the hearts of the crowd, causing their gaze toward the Knife Saint Sect to become all the more unfriendly.

The servant's expression shifted subtly, this turn of events somewhat unexpected, leaving him in a difficult position. The Knife Saint Sect feared no single force, but if heroes around the world were to band together against them, then the Knife Saint Sect would indeed have something to fear.

"With all the heroes present, how dare the Knife Saint Sect claim that the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master belong to us?" the servant replied loudly.

Ye Qing responded, "Oh, so when the items are brought forth, does that mean the members of the Knife Saint Sect will refrain from participating in the struggle?"

Ye Qing's words were quite shameless, yet they hit the mark for the crowd. Everyone's eyes turned to the members of the Knife Saint Sect, which left the servant feeling extremely awkward. If they declared their intent to fight, they'd become the primary enemy of the global heroes. Yet, saying they wouldn't fight was impossible, as they had come precisely for the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master.

Thus, Ye Qing's question left the servant at a loss for words, completely unsure of how to respond.

In the crowd, Wanyan Hongsheng shook his head and sighed, thinking, "These Knife Saint Sect fools are truly unworthy of strategizing with. Bringing them out was indeed a waste of time!"

The servant, tongue-tied for a good while, finally replied indignantly, "Ye Qing, stop changing the subject, talk about the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master first. You claimed you had a few words to say, then say them, what's the point of stalling for time?"

Ye Qing smiled faintly, no longer pursued the previous topic. The few words he had spoken had already made the world's heroes highly wary of the Knife Saint Sect, with some even beginning to guard against them. Under such circumstances, the Knife Saint Sect was now isolated from the global heroes. If anything were to happen, it was already favorable if the world's heroes didn't band together to attack them, let alone expect any help from them, which was precisely Ye Qing's intent in speaking those words.
