Urban Martial Saint

Wanyan Hongsheng, relying on his own strength, jumped onto the stone wall, intending to first observe the situation outside.

This glance indeed startled Wanyan Hongsheng. Because outside the stone wall, not only were Shen Tianjun, Helian Tiehua, and Bloody Monk standing, but also Wolf Monk and Ding Lianshun. In other words, there were a total of five peak masters outside, not just those three peak masters.

Moreover, Old Sixth Wan Yan was locked in a showdown with Helian Tiehua. Although the other four masters were merely watching from the sidelines, it seemed that there was no need for them to intervene in this situation. With Helian Tiehua's strength, dealing with Old Sixth Wan Yan was more than sufficient.

Seeing such a situation, Wanyan Hongsheng took another sharp breath of cold air. He realized that in this situation, even if his strength doubled, there was no way he could be a match for these individuals. On the contrary, if the strength he gained from damaging his own body was completely exhausted, even he wouldn't be able to escape from here. So, considering the current situation, rescuing Old Sixth Wan Yan was utterly impossible. Old Sixth Wan Yan, it's feared, might have to stay here this time!

However, Wanyan Hongsheng dared not let Old Sixth Wan Yan fall into the hands of these people. Old Sixth Wan Yan was not Old Seventh Wan Yan, because Old Sixth Wan Yan was a direct member of the Wanyan family and knew many secrets about the Wanyan family. If he fell into the hands of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, they might be able to extract a lot of information about the Wanyan family from him. If the big secrets of the Wanyan family were exposed to the people of the Seven Steering Committees, then the painstaking plans of the Wanyan family, prepared over a thousand years, could completely fall apart. Therefore, under no circumstances could Old Sixth Wan Yan fall into these people's hands.

While Wanyan Hongsheng was pondering on top of the stone wall, the people below had already noticed him. Shen Tianjun slightly furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice, "It's you again!"

Saying this, Shen Tianjun had already leaped up, charging directly at Wanyan Hongsheng.

Seeing Shen Tianjun lunging at him, Wanyan Hongsheng knew he had no time left. Clenching his teeth, he suddenly charged down from the stone wall, dodging Shen Tianjun, and pounced towards Helian Tiehua below.

"Old Sixth, come to my side!" Wanyan Hongsheng shouted as he acted, seemingly trying to push back Helian Tiehua and then rescue Old Sixth Wan Yan.

Old Sixth Wan Yan, entangled by Helian Tiehua, originally thought escape was impossible. Upon seeing Wanyan Hongsheng rushing down, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, hurriedly running towards Wanyan Hongsheng as he had instructed.

Helian Tiehua noticed something amiss behind him and immediately retaliated, striking at Wanyan Hongsheng. His reaction and speed were incredibly fast, and he managed to pinpoint the direction of Wanyan Hongsheng's assault even under such circumstances. However, just as their palms were about to collide, Wanyan Hongsheng suddenly withdrew his hand, grabbing Old Sixth Wan Yan beside him and forcefully retreating.

This situation caught Helian Tiehua off guard, and he had no time to stop them. However, Wanyan Hongsheng's attempt to escape was utterly impossible because Shen Tianjun was already rushing over from behind. Besides, with so many peak masters surrounding them here, it was utterly impossible for him to escape with Old Sixth Wan Yan.

Seeing the situation, a gleam of determination flashed in Wanyan Hongsheng's eyes, and he suddenly turned to look at Old Sixth Wan Yan beside him, shouting loudly, "Old Sixth, I'm sorry!"

"What!?" Old Sixth Wan Yan hadn't even reacted when Wanyan Hongsheng's hand, clutching his back, suddenly pressed down on his fatal point. Sensing something was wrong, it was too late, as Wanyan Hongsheng exerted force, breaking through Old Sixth Wan Yan's fatal point with overwhelming strength. Old Sixth Wan Yan didn't even have time to let out a groan before dying on the spot!

It was because Wanyan Hongsheng was very familiar with Old Sixth Wan Yan's martial arts capabilities, he knew precisely where Old Sixth Wan Yan's biggest weakness lay. Furthermore, his hand had been holding onto Old Sixth Wan Yan, who was utterly unguarded. That's why Old Sixth Wan Yan met such a vexing end at his hands. If Old Sixth Wan Yan had known that Wanyan Hongsheng intended to kill him, he might have taken precautions, and Wanyan Hongsheng would definitely not have been able to kill him so effortlessly!

This sudden turn of events left Shen Tianjun and the others around them stunned. They had thought Wanyan Hongsheng intended to escape with Old Sixth Wan Yan, but who would have expected that Wanyan Hongsheng would kill Old Sixth Wan Yan? What exactly was going on between these two brothers of the Wanyan family, could there be some sort of conflict or discord?

The reason why Wanyan Hongsheng killed Old Sixth Wan Yan was unknown to the masses but known to a few. It was because he realized that taking Old Sixth Wan Yan away was no longer possible. Rather than letting the people of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance capture Old Sixth Wan Yan and extort family secrets from him, it was better to directly kill him himself to prevent the family's secrets from being leaked.

In matters concerning this issue, the people of the Wanyan family were indeed heartless and ruthless. For the sake of the family's plans, they could do anything. Previously, Wanyan Hongsheng had abandoned Old Seventh Wan Yan, sealing him within the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. Now, naturally, he also had the determination to kill Old Sixth Wan Yan, lest he leak the family's secrets!

While the crowd was in shock, Wanyan Hongsheng showed no hesitation. After killing Old Sixth Wan Yan, he immediately got up to make his escape. The direction he chose to flee was precisely towards where Ding Lianshun was standing, and in almost two steps he charged right up to Ding Lianshun.

Seeing Wanyan Hongsheng approaching menacingly, Ding Lianshun hurriedly tried to resist him for a moment to buy time for Shen Tianjun and Helian Tiehua. However, he underestimated Wanyan Hongsheng's current power. Wanyan Hongsheng, who had harmed his body to gain strength earlier, still retained three-tenths of that power. Not to mention Ding Lianshun, even masters like Shen Tianjun, Bloody Monk, and Helian Tiehua were no match for Wanyan Hongsheng, let alone him.

After exchanging a single palm strike, Ding Lianshun was sent flying. Without any pause, Wanyan Hongsheng charged past the position of Ding Lianshun, sprinting away without even glancing back.

By the time Shen Tianjun and the others thought of pursuing Wanyan Hongsheng, it was already too late; they could only watch helplessly as Wanyan Hongsheng ran far away.

Ding Lianshun, stumbling, finally steadied his footing, took a few deep breaths to suppress the surging qi and blood, and said in a deep voice, "That person has such strong power!"

"He must have, as before, harmed his body to enhance his power!" Shen Tianjun said.

"Harming the body, yet able to enhance power? What kind of cultivation technique is this?" Ding Lianshun asked in surprise, looking at Shen Tianjun, "Isn't this method from Southeast Asian sorcery?"

"This is a cultivation technique of the Demon Sect!" Bloody Monk said in a deep voice.

"Demon Sect's cultivation technique?" Ding Lianshun was surprised again, and the other individuals also looked at Bloody Monk. Their limited understanding of Demon Sect's cultivation techniques naturally left them unaware that Wanyan Hongsheng was using them as well.

"The Demon Sect has a secret technique called the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique. It reverses the flow of True Qi, burning the body to gain powerful strength. This kind of power comes at the cost of burning lifespan and physical functions, rarely used unless faced with particularly severe situations that require fighting to mutual destruction or annihilating the enemy together." Bloody Monk explained: "The Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique, depending on how much one harms the body, can increase a person's strength by several or even dozens of times, making it a truly terrifying unique skill. This secret technique has long been lost, but Southeast Asian sorcerers' Blood Descent is actually a derivative of the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique, though its nature remains a secret technique of the Demon Sect!"

"I see!" The crowd suddenly realized, and Shen Tianjun took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The individual from the Wanyan family not only knows the Heart Demon Technique but also this Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique. It seems he is very familiar with the Demon Sect's secret techniques. Could it be that the Wanyan family has studied the Demon Sect's secrets?"

The crowd exchanged glances, all shaken by Shen Tianjun's words. If that were truly the case, it would complicate matters even more. The Demon Sect was immensely formidable, and with the Wanyan family harnessing many of its long-lost secrets, one had to wonder if they had inherited the legacy of the Demon Sect? Moreover, would it be possible that someone in the Wanyan family had become a master beyond the pinnacle?

This idea made each individual's heart pound, realizing that their previous estimation of the Wanyan family's strength might have fallen short. It seemed that the actual power of the Wanyan family might indeed exceed their imagination.

While everyone was deep in thought, Zhou Haoyang and Purple Robe Lama also rushed out from the manor. Seeing the situation outside, they were momentarily stunned, and then filled with great joy.

"General Helian, you've finally returned!" Zhou Haoyang exclaimed with excitement, "Someone just attacked the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, but I discovered them in time and prevented their plot from succeeding!"

Zhou Haoyang was indeed boastful, immediately inflating his own accomplishments. However, how could Helian Tiehua be unaware of his personality? His words wouldn't deceive Helian Tiehua at all.

"It was people from the Wanyan family!" Purple Robe Lama supplemented from the side: "They were trying to seize the items within the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master, I lured them here intending to capture them, but Wanyan Hongsheng suddenly harmed his body to enhance his power, and we couldn't stop him!"

While speaking, Purple Robe Lama also noticed Old Sixth Wan Yan lying on the ground, initially stunned, and then joyfully exclaimed: "At least this individual was stopped by you, thankfully they didn't all get away, we managed to leave at least one behind!"
