Urban Martial Saint

False Huang Boxiong rushed straight to the room where Guan Yeqing was, and Chen Si, seeing him running this way, also hurriedly tried to follow. However, the several people surrounding her were all quite strong, and she was utterly unable to break through.

Wang Tian'an was fiercely attacking at this moment, and because Chen San was distracted, he suffered several cuts on his body, putting him in an extremely dangerous situation.

Actually, Chen San's situation was somewhat better since his strength was formidable. However, the situation for his subordinates that he brought along was not as good. After all, Wang Tian'an had far more people than him!

Seeing that False Huang Boxiong had already reached the door of the room, Wang Tian'an suddenly shouted loudly: "Fifth Brother, don't open the door, just set fire to kill him!"

"Ah?" False Huang Boxiong was stunned, not knowing why Wang Tian'an suddenly asked him to do so.

"The way he burned my people, I will let him die the same way today!" Wang Tian'an loudly replied, his face becoming extremely ferocious.

In fact, he also wanted to kill Ye Qing in front of Chen San and Chen Si. However, the words from Xu Cunxiao in the car just now still made him somewhat cautious, truly fearing any sudden change. After all, last time he used Bone-Piercing Tendon-Softening Powder and failed to knock out Ye Qing, he really feared that Ye Qing was pretending this time too. Therefore, he decided not to let Ye Qing out, and just wanted to burn Ye Qing alive in that room.

Upon hearing Wang Tian'an's words, False Huang Boxiong did not hesitate at all and immediately had someone bring two buckets of gasoline, pouring them through the window into the room. Inside the room, Ye Qing was still lying on the ground, still in an unconscious state.

Seeing Ye Qing like this, a cold smile appeared on False Huang Boxiong's face as he coldly said: "What unmatched strategies, today, you are still going to die by my hands!"

As he spoke, False Huang Boxiong took out a lighter from his pocket, just about to light it, when suddenly a firework shot up outside the courtyard and exploded in the air with a bang. The loud noise startled everyone in the courtyard.

Wang Tian'an's expression changed, he said somberly: "What's going on? What's going on? Who set off the fireworks? Who set off the fireworks?"

False Huang Boxiong and the others looked at each other, they had no idea what had happened. And over by Chen San and Chen Si, they too were full of astonishment, it seemed they also did not know what had happened.

Wang Tian'an's heart turned cold, he remembered the fireworks, it was the signal used by Ye Qing at his hotel last time before setting fire to them. The fireworks from that time were exactly the same as these. That night's events were like a nightmare to Wang Tian'an, he remembered the fireworks vividly. And now, the appearance of these fireworks again, one could imagine his mood.

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Tian'an suddenly turned his head and bellowed: "Set the fire! Set the fire! Hurry and kill him!"

Wang Tian'an knew that there must be something wrong with this firework. Thus, he just wanted to kill Ye Qing as quickly as possible, not daring to think too much about anything else.

False Huang Boxiong immediately turned around, ready to ignite the gasoline. However, just as he looked into the room, his whole body suddenly froze.

Inside the room, Ye Qing, who had been previously unconscious, was now standing right by the window, just making eye contact with him. Ye Qing's expression was calm as still water, showing no trace of grogginess at all, completely different from someone who had been knocked out before.

Most crucially, Ye Qing was also holding a Longsword in his hand. The hilt bore Seven Stars, and the sword's style was ancient, clearly not any ordinary item.

Seeing that False Huang Boxiong had not acted, Wang Tian'an could not help but yell furiously: "What are you doing? Hurry up and set the fire!"

This time False Huang Boxiong reacted, immediately throwing the lighter he held. However, just as he did so, Ye Qing also happened to draw his sword from its sheath, and the Seven-Star Ancient Sword in Ye Qing's hands traced an arc, splitting the lighter in two in a split second, instantly extinguishing the flame in mid-air.

Ye Qing usually practiced swordplay using soybeans shot out, which was the best way to train his response capability and accuracy. Although he now rarely hit many soybeans, this time he was well-prepared, and with such a large lighter, it posed no difficulty for him. The lighter had not even touched the gasoline when it was rendered useless.

False Huang Boxiong was instantly stunned, turning his head quickly and shouted: "Who has a lighter? Who has a lighter? Give me one!"

Hearing False Huang Boxiong's words, Wang Tian'an also became frantic and angrily said: "I'm your fucking, what have you grown up for? Where is your own lighter?"

False Huang Boxiong had no time to answer Wang Tian'an's question. Before he even got the lighter handed over by the subordinate next to him, he saw Ye Qing in the room raising the Seven-Star Ancient Sword. False Huang Boxiong hastily took a step back, moving away from the window, and exclaimed loudly: "You can't escape, I've sealed the entire room with steel bars, let's see how you can escape!"

Hearing False Huang Boxiong's words, Chen San and Chen Si turned their heads simultaneously, realizing that the situation had taken an unexpected turn, causing everyone's heart to involuntarily race.

"What's going on? What's happening?" Wang Tian'an was even more agitated than Chen San and Chen Si. He couldn't handle any mishap at this point. He just wanted to kill Ye Qing, but now it seemed like killing even one Ye Qing was turning out to be a difficult task.

False Huang Boxiong didn't have time to reply to Wang Tian'an, only tremblingly tried to strike the lighter. At that moment, Ye Qing's sword in his hand chopped down. The Seven-Star Ancient Sword, true to its reputation, could slice iron as if it were mud, and with one strike, the steel bars on the window were all severed.

Seeing what was happening here, everyone in the courtyard stopped their movements and watched the situation in the room intently. Wang Tian'an's eyes widened in alarm as he urgently shouted, "What's going on? How did he cut through the steel bars? Did he bring a Famed Instrument? Fifth Brother, what are you doing? How did you let him bring a Famed Instrument inside?"

False Huang Boxiong's face fell, and he said, "Big brother, before I threw him in, I searched him thoroughly, he didn't have any weapons on him!"

"Then what's going on here?" Wang Tian'an angrily said, and while he spoke, Ye Qing had already struck a second time. Just two strikes, and a large gap was cut out of the steel bars on the window, and Ye Qing dashed out from the window, standing proudly with his sword.

Seeing Ye Qing come out, a look of disbelief flashed across Chen San's face, while Chen Si's face was filled with excitement. They had thought Ye Qing was surely done for, but unexpectedly, such a turnaround had happened! New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

As soon as Ye Qing appeared, False Huang Boxiong nearly lost his mind, he hastily stepped back and anxiously shouted, "You… you… how did you come out? Weren't you knocked out?"

Ye Qing, with a calm expression, caressed the Seven-Star Ancient Sword in his hand and said, "If I hadn't pretended to be unconscious, would you have locked me up? If I hadn't pretended, with dozens of experts here, would I still be alive?"

False Huang Boxiong's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "You… you were just pretending to be unconscious? How is that possible, you took so much Knockout Drug, how could you just be pretending?"

Ye Qing said coldly, "Humph, Wang Tian'an's Bone-Piercing Tendon-Softening Powder couldn't confuse me, let alone your mere Knockout Drug!"

Ye Qing had heard from Shen Tianjun back in Xi Hang about his condition—that normal poisons had no effect on him. Thus, substances like Bone-Piercing Tendon-Softening Powder or Knockout Drugs really didn't bother him.

Wang Tian'an also frowned; he knew about the incident where Ye Qing had not been affected by the Bone-Piercing Tendon-Softening Powder. He had always assumed it was an accident. But now, it seemed that incident was no accident; Ye Qing actually had resistance to poison.

"How did you know who we were?" False Huang Boxiong anxiously said, "I didn't give anything away in front of you, how... how could you think we were from Western Province?"

"I knew it when we were in the car," Ye Qing looked at False Huang Boxiong and said, "You kept taking me on a long journey, and always on backroads, did you think I wouldn't notice? If it were really a school inspection, you definitely wouldn't do it late at night; that was your first slip-up!"

False Huang Boxiong was momentarily speechless, he had taken Ye Qing on back roads to avoid surveillance and kept Zhao Chengshuang from finding them. All along the way, he had been chatting with Ye Qing about the orphanage to prevent Ye Qing from noticing outside matters. Unexpectedly, Ye Qing was observing so carefully—he had begun to be suspicious during their conversation.

Ye Qing continued, "Secondly, although there are mountains around Shenchuan City, none are tall, and mobile signals are good everywhere. But why was there no cell signal in your car?"

"You... how did you know there was no cell signal in my car?" False Huang Boxiong was even more astonished.

"You forgot, I took out my phone to check the time on the road," Ye Qing continued, "Actually, looking at the time was a ruse, I just wanted to see why no one had called me for such a long time. I then discovered that my phone had no signal at all. This shows that you definitely had a signal blocker in your car. You deliberately didn't want me to make calls outside or let anyone call in—that was your biggest slip-up!"

False Huang Boxiong was once again at a loss for words; he never expected that Ye Qing checking the time on his phone was actually verifying his identity—the signal blocker he had placed in the car turned out to be the key to Ye Qing figuring out their identities.

Hearing Ye Qing's words, Chen San, Chen Si, Wang Tian'an, and the others were all stunned. Especially Wang Tian'an, who was well aware of the plan and knew all the slip-ups Ye Qing mentioned were unavoidable for them. If they didn't take backroads, Zhao Chengshuang would find them. If there wasn't a signal blocker in the car, then Ye Qing would have received calls—none of this could happen.

With resentment, False Huang Boxiong said, "Then... then how did you know I would drug the meal, leading you to start pretending to be unconscious?"
