Urban Martial Saint

Facing Elder Chu's words, Number Five showed no anger at all, just looked at Elder Chu calmly, as if he hadn't heard Elder Chu speak.

Wanyan Second Master chuckled, "Elder Chu, we are here to compete in martial arts. As long as a peak master steps onto the stage and can fight against you, that's enough. Why bother saying so much nonsense? You only know the result after the fight!"

"You're right, you only know the result after the fight!" Elder Chu shouted coldly, "Then I'll let you find out the result in advance now!"

After saying this, Elder Chu stomped fiercely on the ground, and his entire body shot out like a cannonball, rushing straight at Number Five. Elder Chu's speed was extremely fast, and when he was three meters away from Number Five, he suddenly sidestepped to avoid facing Number Five directly, and struck at Number Five's shoulder with a swift grab.

Elder Chu was extremely powerful, and his speed was his main strength. His full-speed charge was truly awe-inspiring. Everyone pondered inwardly, if this move hit them, could they avoid it?

In fact, Number Five didn't avoid this move, and was indeed immediately caught on the shoulder by Elder Chu. Or rather, Number Five didn't even try to dodge and let Elder Chu seize his shoulder.

Elder Chu didn't expect to catch the opponent's shoulder so smoothly, and secretly rejoiced as he increased his grip strength, pulling down hard. His Eagle Claw Technique was extremely sharp; with one move, he could disable the opponent's arm. This time, he was enough to deal a heavy blow to the opponent.

Yet Number Five still didn't resist or dodge, allowing Elder Chu to grip his shoulder. Everyone heard a crack. Undoubtedly, Number Five's arm was torn off, which shocked everyone. Especially Ye Qing and his group, who even became excited, thinking this victory was too easy!

However, at that moment, the situation suddenly reversed. As Elder Chu twisted off Number Five's arm, Number Five's other hand struck directly at Elder Chu's chest, sending Elder Chu flying, vomiting several mouthfuls of blood in mid-air. Falling to the ground, he struggled several times but couldn't get up, having already lost!

This situation left Ye Qing's group dumbfounded, but Wanyan Second Master seemed to have anticipated it. He smiled slightly at Ye Qing's side and said, "First round, sorry, but our Wanyan family has won!"

The people on Ye Qing's side furrowed their brows deeply. The situation just now was clear to everyone. In reality, the strength of Number Five was above that of Elder Chu. In a real fight, Elder Chu wasn't likely to be a match for Number Five. However, it seemed like Number Five didn't want to waste time, deliberately allowing Elder Chu to grab his shoulder, even at the cost of losing an arm, just to defeat Elder Chu in one strike and end the battle. Clearly, Number Five was determined to achieve a swift victory!

"What should we do?" Ye Qing turned to Helian Tiehua and whispered, "They're willing to fight desperately to win, this battle isn't easy!"

Helian Tiehua frowned deeply. Losing the first round sure dampened the morale. However, things had come to this point, and not fighting was not an option.

"Tell everyone to be careful, and don't be fooled by their mutually destructive tactics again!" Helian Tiehua instructed in a deep voice.

In the second round, a Supreme Elder from the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance faced Number Three of the Wanyan family. With Elder Chu's experience fresh in mind, the Supreme Elder was cautious and avoided acting rashly. However, Number Three's strength was stronger than his. This battle didn't last long before he was defeated by Number Three!

Losing two consecutive rounds, Ye Qing's side saw a significant drop in morale. In the third round, Wu Xiuming took the stage, causing Ye Qing's group even more concern.

In the previous two rounds, Ye Qing and his group could tell that the ten people sent by the Wanyan family were not just ordinarily strong. Wu Xiuming's strength was undoubtedly far inferior to these people. If the first two lost, the probability of Wu Xiuming losing in the third round seemed inevitable. Losing three rounds in a row would surely crush Ye Qing's side's morale, so how could they continue fighting?

In fact, not only was Ye Qing worried, but Wu Xiuming himself was extremely anxious. After practicing the three sword moves of the Shakya Sect just now, his inner strength had rapidly declined, almost regressing to the level of a top-level master. Currently, any peak master could easily defeat him, so how could he fight the opponent?

Truth be told, Wu Xiuming really didn't want to go on stage. However, thinking about how Ye Qing's side selected this result, Wu Xiuming gritted his teeth and went. Even if he were to lose, he couldn't embarrass Ye Qing!

With a longsword in hand, Wu Xiuming walked up to face Number Seven. Although he was filled with anxiety inside, Wu Xiuming decisively drew his sword and stood upright, pointing at Number Seven, and said loudly, "Vice Alliance Hierarch of the World Alliance, Wu Xiuming, is here to learn from your esteemed techniques!"

As Wu Xiuming took the stage, many on Ye Qing's side didn't want to watch anymore. Everyone was aware of Wu Xiuming's strength; how could Wu Xiuming compete in this battle? It seemed he might lose even more miserably and faster than Elder Chu!

Number Seven completely ignored Wu Xiuming, acting as if he hadn't heard Wu Xiuming's words at all. This made Wu Xiuming somewhat angry. He took a deep breath, swung his longsword, and slashed directly at Number Seven.

Number Seven stood motionless, and only moved slightly when the Sword Mark was about to strike him. However, he underestimated Wu Xiuming's sword move. This sword move, created by Wu Tianchi, was far from ordinary. Even though he dodged the move, the sword still left a mark on him!

Seeing this situation, Ye Qing and his companions couldn't help but cheer. Regardless of anything else, Wu Xiuming's move was indeed marvelous. It's just that Wu Xiuming's own strength was insufficient to injure the opponent.

"Wu Tianchi's Swordsmanship!?" Wanyan Second Master frowned, his expression shifting. However, he quickly laughed: "Hmph, even if you can use Wu Tianchi's swordsmanship, without enough power, the outcome remains unchanged. You can't even break through his defense, so how can you win this fight?"

As Wanyan Second Master spoke, Wu Xiuming struck out two more successive swords. Although each sword hit Number Seven, there was no effect at all—not a single drop of blood flowed, astonishing everyone. Just how strong is Number Seven's power?

Having used three moves, Wu Xiuming began to feel anxious. He had only learned these three moves of Wu Tianchi's Martial Techniques. If these three moves couldn't defeat the opponent, he'd really be at a loss.

After taking three moves, Number Seven didn't pause and lunged straight at Wu Xiuming. Both hands reached out to grab at Wu Xiuming's neck. The speed was so fast that Wu Xiuming couldn't dodge at all.

Seeing such circumstances, Wu Xiuming instinctively raised his hand, swung a sword in front of him to block Number Seven. The sword he swung was the swordsmanship Shijia had taught him just now.

As the sword swung out, Wu Xiuming felt as though his strength had stalled. This shocked him even more—without strength, wasn't he doomed?

Time didn't allow Wu Xiuming much thought. As the sword swung out, Number Seven rushed up to him. Oddly enough, Number Seven wasn't able to grab Wu Xiuming; instead, it was as if something blocked him in mid-air, his clothes being sliced open with a long slit.

This situation greatly astonished Wu Xiuming. Although he swung the sword, there was no power just now, and naturally, no Sword Qi emanated. But why was Number Seven blocked? What exactly happened?

Meanwhile, on the Wanyan side, the man sitting beside Wanyan Second Master suddenly had a glint flash in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Inquiry Three Styles!?"

"What?" Wanyan Second Master asked hurriedly.

The man didn't answer but stared intently at Wu Xiuming, his face filled with incredulity.

The moment Number Seven was blocked, he quickly charged again. Wu Xiuming quickly swung another sword, this time deliberately following the three moves Shijia taught him. The situation was the same as last time; Wu Xiuming felt no strength move out, yet Number Seven was again blocked as if by an unseen force, very strange indeed.

The man next to Wanyan Second Master took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, the Heavenly Inquiry Three Styles!"

"What is that?" Wanyan Second Master asked in surprise.

"It is an Ultimate Technique created by Wu Tianchi, the Heavenly Inquiry Three Styles, which consists of three moves!" the man said in a deep voice. "The power of this Martial Arts skill is that it doesn't rely on one's own strength but rather communicates with the power of heaven and earth."

"The power of heaven and earth?" Wanyan Second Master was even more astonished.

The man nodded and said, "You should have seen the three Sword Marks of Wu Tianchi, right? No matter how many years pass, the power of those three Sword Marks will not disperse, that's the reason. Because it's not the power of Wu Tianchi, but rather the marks condense the power of heaven and earth, continuously drawing in the forces of nature. In this way, no matter how many years go by, as long as the Sword Marks remain, they will draw the power of heaven and earth, ensuring the power doesn't dissipate!"

"I see!" Wanyan Second Master nodded slowly, looking at Wu Xiuming, and said, "So Wu Xiuming is now using the power of heaven and earth?"

"Exactly!" the man said solemnly. "The most formidable aspect of the Heavenly Inquiry Three Styles is this. When a sword is swung, that Sword Mark will connect with the power of heaven and earth, becoming stagnant in place. If someone charges into it, they will be struck by this power, hence getting blocked. See how he strikes now, without using any power of his own, yet he can block the person—this is why. Of course, the time that the Sword Mark remains in the air won't be long, because the air is flowing. But it would be different on fixed objects; for example, if the Sword Mark is left on a rock, unless the rock breaks, the Sword Mark will remain forever!"

"Is there really such miraculous Martial Arts in the world?" Wanyan Second Master took a deep breath and said, "Does this mean that Wu Tianchi's Martial Arts is the most formidable among Top-Level Masters of the same league?"
