Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1699 - 1699: We Didn’t Fall for It

Cui Yu knew very well that with their abilities, trying to confront Luan Ping was simply impossible. Therefore, upon seeing these people, he didn't even think about running away; his first thought was to set up a formation and hold on for as long as possible.After all, Cui Yulong and Cui Yu were brothers. When the Killing Gate Seven Hidden set up the Seven Kills Formation, he also took a step back and quietly contacted the Bloody Monk behind them. In this situation, only if the Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk hurried back could they control the situation.

All of this, however, was seen by Shen Qianyue. He sneered coldly and said, "Cui Yulong, I think you shouldn't waste your time. The Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk have already run far away to the outskirts of the city. Even if they receive your message and rush back at full speed, it will take them at least an hour. And we only need five minutes to destroy your Killing Gate, so you better not waste your phone bill!"

No one paid attention to Shen Qianyue as the Killing Gate Seven Hidden set up the Seven Kills Formation at the forefront, protecting the others behind them, and slowly retreated. They knew very well that escaping was impossible, so they aimed to buy as much time as possible.

"Truly reckless!" Shen Qianyue sneered, suddenly raising his hands to unleash his inner strength, heavily slamming onto the front gate.

The huge iron gate was forcefully sent flying by Shen Qianyue's palms, enshrouding the Killing Gate Seven Hidden. The iron gate was enormous, almost completely encapsulating the Killing Gate Seven Hidden. And the speed and momentum with which it came rushing were astonishing. If it landed, everyone would at least be injured. Has Shen Qianyue's power increased so much?

Seeing the iron gate crash down, the Killing Gate Seven Hidden didn't even have time to dodge and could only strike together, ready to use their famed instruments to shatter the iron gate.

Seeing the actions of the Killing Gate Seven Hidden, a faint sneer appeared on Shen Qianyue's lips. His all-out attack was truly terrifying. Even if the Killing Gate Seven Hidden wield powerful famed instruments capable of shattering the iron gate, there was still Shen Qianyue's powerful inner strength within it. Striking the famed instruments would be enough to send all of the Killing Gate Seven Hidden flying with severe injuries.

Shen Qianyue, having followed the Corpse Ghost Dragon for some time, had studied the Seven Kills Formation and planned to use his powerful force to shatter the formation and prove his own strength.

Hearing the whistling as the iron gate pierced through the air, Cui Yulong reacted first and exclaimed, "Don't catch it!"

However, his exclamation was too late, as the famed instruments wielded by the Killing Gate Seven Hidden all collided with the iron gate. With a series of metallic clangs, the iron gate was directly sliced into dozens of segments, and merely listening to the sound was terrifying enough.

Shen Qianyue laughed proudly, knowing full well that the power of his move was sure to shatter the Seven Kills Formation. However, before he could take in the scene, Luan Ping had rushed over from the side, grabbed his back, and swiftly pulled him seven or eight meters away.

Before Shen Qianyue could react, the iron gate, which had been sliced into dozens of segments, flew back in an instant, rushing past where he had been standing and crashing into the wall behind him, shattering it. If Luan Ping hadn't pulled Shen Qianyue away, the dozens of iron gate segments would have dismembered Shen Qianyue!

Staring at the shattered stone wall, Shen Qianyue was stunned, momentarily unable to comprehend what had happened. He turned in astonishment to look at the Killing Gate Seven Hidden, who were still standing intact. The scene he had anticipated, where he would heavily injure all seven, hadn't occurred. On the contrary, he had nearly lost his life! It was frightening to think about it now.

"What... what happened?" Shen Qianyue's voice trembled, beginning to doubt his own strength. Or rather, he doubted the strength of the Killing Gate Seven Hidden. The force with which those dozens of segments flew back was the strength of a peak master; what was going on?

The Killing Gate Seven Hidden were also bewildered, unsure of what had just happened. Nevertheless, they had sliced the iron gate, but the expected powerful impact hadn't materialized. On the contrary, the iron gate segments all bounced back unexpectedly. They even hadn't felt any power from the iron gate. Moreover, they were well aware that their own might couldn't have repelled the iron gate like that!

Both sides were puzzled, with only Luan Ping and that peak master understanding what had happened. The peak master stood beside Shen Qianyue, warily watching a different wall as if guarding against something.

Luan Ping also walked over, staring intently at the wall, and said in a deep voice, "Bloody Monk, you're still in the Killing Gate!?"

"Bloody Monk?"

"Sect Leader?"

Shen Qianyue and the Killing Gate members exclaimed in unison, simultaneously looking in that direction. The Bloody Monk was still in the Killing Gate? Hadn't he gone out with Ye Qing and the others to rescue Li Lianshan?

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, a monk dressed in a blood-colored cassock leaped into the sky from behind the wall—it was indeed the Bloody Monk.

Seeing the Bloody Monk, the crowd from the Sha Men was overjoyed, all spirits lifted, shouting in unison, "Sect Leader!"

Now everyone finally understood what had just happened; it must have been the Bloody Monk who had intervened in the dark, pushing the iron gate back. If it weren't for Luan Ping's formidable strength and quick reaction, saving Shen Qianyue in time, Shen Qianyue would likely have died.

The Bloody Monk moved extremely fast, with just a leap, he was already in front of the Sha Men crowd. With him standing there, it was as if the Sha Men members had taken a calming pill, all invigorated.

"Bloody Monk, is it really you!?" Shen Qianyue's face was full of shock, his voice trembling, "You... weren't you going to rescue Li Lianshan? How... how could you still be here?"

"Hmph, do you think everyone is an idiot?" The Bloody Monk said in a deep voice, "Shen Qianyue, even with your little tricks, do you hope to deceive us?"

"You... you didn't fall for it?" Shen Qianyue was even more shocked. He thought he had fooled everyone into leaving, which was why he swaggered over to the Sha Men. But now, it seemed things weren't going as smoothly as he imagined.

The Bloody Monk hadn't answered yet when the Peak Master beside Shen Qianyue immediately turned around, watching the courtyard door behind them warily. Luan Ping also glanced in this direction, his brow furrowing tightly, as he sensed a master approaching from this side.

"Without Ye Qing, we might have already been fooled!" Outside the courtyard door, the Wolf Monk walked in slowly, coldly saying, "But fortunately, everything is within Ye Qing's expectations. Shen Qianyue, last time at Medicine King Mountain, you managed to escape with your life, today, you won't be as lucky!"

"Ye Qing again!" Shen Qianyue was extremely furious. He thought his plan was foolproof but unexpectedly was seen through by Ye Qing again. His mood now couldn't be simply described as just anger, he even felt somewhat stifled. He had thought he could play Ye Qing and the others in his palm, yet he was the one thoroughly deceived.

"Shen Qianyue, your methods are indeed despicable. Deceiving us out of Shenchuan City, then taking the opportunity to target the Sha Men." The Wolf Monk slightly frowned, saying deeply, "However, there's one thing I'm still unclear about. The people from Sha Men are no threat to you at all, why go to such great lengths to target them?"

The three over here certainly wouldn't tell the truth, Shen Qianyue looked around, then suddenly said coldly, "Bloody Monk, Wolf Monk, with so many Peak Masters in Shenchuan City, why are only you two showing up? Where are the others? Haven't they arrived yet?"

The Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk both slightly furrowed their brows. Since they came out, they hadn't made any direct moves, wanting to stall for some time. Helian Tiehua and Shen Tianjun were on their way here, as long as they reached, maybe they could completely retain Shen Qianyue here. So, what they had to do now was to buy time. However, Shen Qianyue wasn't a fool, he clearly saw through the core issue.

"The two of us are enough to deal with you!" The Bloody Monk said deeply, "Shen Qianyue, you dared to strike harshly against my Sha Men people, today I will not let you get away!"

"Hmph, not let me?" Shen Qianyue sneered coldly, "Bloody Monk, if I'm not mistaken, over here at Sha Men it's just you and the Wolf Monk. The other Peak Masters aren't here at all!"

At this point, the Bloody Monk no longer concealed anything, coldly saying, "Shen Qianyue, you have two Peak Masters beside you, and we have two on our side. If a fight breaks out, at most it's a tie, do you think you can walk out alive from Sha Men today?"

"Hahaha..." Shen Qianyue laughed heartily, saying, "Bloody Monk, if it were any other pair of Peak Masters here, I wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. But with you here, hmph, tonight, it won't be up to you!"

"Scoundrel, how dare you look down on the Buddha Master!" The Bloody Monk roared angrily, without further ado, rushing straight towards Shen Qianyue, aiming a strike down at him.

The Peak Master standing beside Shen Qianyue didn't hesitate either, immediately rushing up to engage in battle with the Bloody Monk. Both were very strong, exchanging over a dozen strikes in an instant, all extremely fast and powerful. Those around could feel the overwhelming force even from a distance.

Seeing this situation, Shen Qianyue's lips curled into a cold smile, and he said in a deep voice to Luan Ping, "You block the Wolf Monk, tonight, one of them must die!"

Luan Ping glanced at Shen Qianyue in surprise, not knowing where his confidence came from. However, he dared not defy Shen Qianyue's words, turning to pounce towards the Wolf Monk.

"Let's work our bones as well!" Luan Ping said coldly.

"As you wish!" The Wolf Monk directly met the attack, engaging in battle with Luan Ping. However, the Wolf Monk was also keeping an eye on Shen Qianyue, guarding against him launching a surprise attack on the Sha Men people.
