Urban Martial Saint

Although Wu Xiuming's strength has greatly increased, his reputation, status, and power are much greater than before. However, Wu Xiuming is also very grateful. He remembers deeply that everything he has now was given to him by Ye Qing, so even though things are different now, he is more respectful to Ye Qing than before and completely stands on Ye Qing's side.

Of course, Ye Qing treats Wu Xiuming very well too. The cultivation techniques given to Wu Xiuming made the strength of the Wu family members significantly increase after practicing them. Recently, Wu Xiuming's son became a top-level master, which excited Wu Xiuming immensely. It must be known that this is the first top-level master besides him in the Wu family for nearly a hundred years, which is very significant. Moreover, this is just the beginning. If they continue to practice like this, the Wu family might potentially produce a second and third top-level master, and even a peak master. The Wu family will no longer be as weak as before and might even become a powerful family.

Ye Qing regards Wu Xiuming as a trusted confidant on his side and reserves shares of good things for him. For one, he has the convenience of practicing martial arts at Liu Mubai's training ground every day. In this training ground, he can meet top-level masters like Shen Tianjun and Bloody Monk, and access many secret manuals brought out by Ye Qing. The most important part is that Fu Qingping often comes to guide them, which is a truly rare opportunity.

During the time spent practicing here, Wu Xiuming's strength has increased rapidly. Although ordinary cultivation techniques do not have much effect on him, Shen Tianjun, Bloody Monk, and Fu Qingping are all highly experienced masters. By coming together, they evolved Wu Tianchi's three sword marks into many sword moves, giving Wu Xiuming more techniques instead of being limited to those three moves.

Hearing Shen Tianjun and Wu Xiuming's words, Ye Qing was also excited. He really wanted to know what level Liu Mubai's strength would reach after becoming a peak master.

The mass of black fog enveloped Liu Mubai, and no one could see what was going on inside. They could only hear occasional low growls coming from within, indicating that Liu Mubai was enduring considerable pain. However, no one was overly concerned, and Ye Qing didn't ask too much because the strength and experience of those around him far surpassed his own. Since no one was worried, it indicated that Liu Mubai would certainly be fine.

After about half an hour, the black fog finally began to slowly diminish and Liu Mubai's figure gradually emerged. As Liu Mubai's body became visible, everyone finally saw that the black fog didn't dissipate on its own, but was absorbed back into Liu Mubai's body.

This black fog originally emanated from Liu Mubai. Now that it was reabsorbed back into him, it seemed quite bizarre. However, Ye Qing could tell from the restored calm expression on Liu Mubai's face that his previous pain had seemingly passed. In other words, had Liu Mubai succeeded in reaching the pinnacle?

It took about ten minutes for the black fog to be completely reabsorbed, and everything around returned to normal. At this moment, Liu Mubai finally opened his eyes.

"Congratulations, Elder Liu!" Wu Xiuming immediately stepped forward, cupping his hands, and said, "Elder Liu's achievement in becoming a peak master means that our World Alliance has gained a great general!"

Liu Mubai glanced at Wu Xiuming, slightly silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Where's your sword?"

Wu Xiuming was taken aback for a moment but immediately understood Liu Mubai's intention and smiled, "Elder Liu becoming a peak master and making me his first opponent is truly an honor for me. However, we are on the same side, using swords might harm the harmony, how about..."

"You use the sword!" Liu Mubai paused and said, "It must be a famed instrument!"

Wu Xiuming was once again astonished. Despite his improved strength, which even allowed him to injure a master comparable to a Wolf Monk with just a tree branch, indicating his immense power. If he used a sword, that master should have been injured more severely, and it goes without saying for a famed instrument. Now, Liu Mubai actually wants Wu Xiuming to use a famed instrument against him, isn't Liu Mubai a bit too arrogant?

Fu Qingping gave a slight smile and said, "Xiao Wu, go and use a famed instrument to exchange a few moves with Elder Liu. Elder Liu wants to test his current strength. Rest assured, with Elder Liu's current strength, it's not easy for you to hurt him!"

Since Fu Qingping said so, Wu Xiuming wouldn't be polite. He went indoors, fetched a famed long sword, and cupped his hands toward Liu Mubai, saying, "Elder Liu, please forgive my offense!"

Liu Mubai slowly nodded but had no intention of taking a weapon. Instead, he slowly raised his hands, quietly watching Wu Xiuming.

Knowing that Liu Mubai's strength wasn't weak, Wu Xiuming naturally wouldn't be careless. Taking a deep breath, he drew his long sword and slashed diagonally at Liu Mubai, one of the three sword marks of Wu Tianchi. This move could unleash Wu Tianchi's power, and with its tricky angle, it was considered the best sword move. Wu Xiuming treated Liu Mubai as a formidable opponent, so he used this move from the start.

Facing the falling longsword, Liu Mubai showed no intention of dodging. Just as the sword was about to strike him, he suddenly raised his hand to grab the sword.

Wu Xiuming was taken aback. If this sword struck Liu Mubai's hand, wouldn't Liu Mubai's hand be crippled? He hurriedly tried to retract his strength, but just then, Fu Qingping suddenly shouted from behind, "Don't hold back, strike down!"

If someone else had said this, Wu Xiuming certainly wouldn't have listened. But since it was Fu Qingping, it was different. Fu Qingping was now a Beyond The Pinnacle expert, to everyone, he was almost like a demigod, and his words were tantamount to an Imperial Edict. So, Wu Xiuming, without any hesitation, brought the sword down with force.

Nearby, Ye Qing's eyes widened as he watched Wu Xiuming's sword slash towards Liu Mubai's hand. If it really struck, wouldn't Liu Mubai's hand definitely be chopped off?

However, when Wu Xiuming's sword landed on Liu Mubai's hand, an astonishing scene occurred. The longsword was actually caught by Liu Mubai, and his hand was still intact, firmly attached to his wrist. Instead, the longsword seemed fixed in place, as though wedged into a crevice in stone, not moving at all.

"This..." Wu Xiuming's expression changed involuntarily. To catch his longsword barehanded was not only a result of great strength but also required an extremely resilient body. Just how formidable was Liu Mubai's body? Could it be that he was unafraid of even a famed instrument? In that case, his body's resilience might even surpass that of the Great General Helian Tiehua.

In fact, Wu Xiuming did not know that Liu Mubai's learning of the Indestructible Demon Body could be considered a secret technique directly inherited from the Great Demon King. Simply because there weren't texts to accompany it, Liu Mubai's body strength was not yet at its highest. If there were accompanying texts, Liu Mubai's development wouldn't just stop here. As for the Great General Helian Tiehua, his Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Golden Bell Shield was merely an evolution of the Buddhist Vajra Indestructible Body. It couldn't even be considered a Vajra Indestructible Body, so how could it be compared to the complete Indestructible Demon Body?

All around, people were equally stunned. Shen Tianjun looked at Liu Mubai's hand, slowly nodded towards Liu Mubai, and said, "When you have time, we can spar a bit!"

It was evident that Shen Tianjun had elevated Liu Mubai to his own level, wanting to spar with him, showing his considerable regard for Liu Mubai.

The Bloody Monk also nodded continuously, looking at Liu Mubai, saying, "I hope you can break through the acme shackle faster than me!"

Since obtaining the Vajra Indestructible Body taught by Shijia, the Bloody Monk's abilities had swiftly risen, and he had begun to aim for the Beyond The Pinnacle realm. His words to Liu Mubai were filled with great confidence, believing Liu Mubai had a chance to break through the acme shackle.

Ye Qing never expected that everyone held such high hopes for Liu Mubai. It should be known that when he taught Liu Mubai the Indestructible Demon Body, it was merely to save Liu Mubai's life. At that time, Liu Mubai was almost at death's door and had to use the top-notch secret techniques of Buddhist and Taoist Magic to rebuild his body. Who would have thought that the Indestructible Demon Body would suit Liu Mubai so well, and he would cultivate it at such an astonishing speed?

Liu Mubai released his grip, letting go of the famed longsword, and slowly looked at the crowd, saying, "I won't let you down!"

Shen Tianjun smiled faintly, nodding slowly. He was also very pleased to see Liu Mubai attaining such strength. At the very least, Liu Mubai's say in the World Alliance Elder Council would carry more weight now. Previously, he was a top-level master, now he was a peak master, a difference in status indeed.

The Bloody Monk did not speak; he simply nodded to Ye Qing and the others, then left with the Wolf Monk. He came today mainly to witness Liu Mubai's challenge to the acme. With the event concluded and seeing the results he desired, he should now go seek the Reincarnated True Buddha. During this time, the Bloody Monk and the Wolf Monk went daily to listen to the Reincarnated True Buddha's sermons, which accelerated the Bloody Monk's advancement in strength.

After watching the Bloody Monk and the Wolf Monk leave, Fu Qingping was the first to turn his head towards Ye Qing, gesturing for him to come over, saying, "Ye Qing, accompany me inside for a cup of tea!"

"Alright!" Ye Qing immediately responded, but in his heart, he knew Fu Qingping definitely had something specific to discuss with him. However, what he wanted to say was not convenient to be discussed in front of these outsiders, hence using the excuse of having tea as a pretext to call Ye Qing inside. Still, what exactly was the matter that couldn't be known to these people outside?
