Urban Martial Saint
Chapter 1193: Shen Qingyi Abducted
The Bloody Monk was surrounded by three top-level masters, his heart was already filled with exceptional anger. He had kept his word and delivered Shen Qingyi to the Shen Family Manor, but unexpectedly, the Shen Family Manor had set up such a trap waiting for him. With three masters encircling him and additional top-level masters like Northern Martial Zen Wanyan King around, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape this time.
Now, Shen Tianjun charged at him first, making the Bloody Monk's face turn icy cold. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, tapping his feet on the ground, his whole body like an arrow leaving the string, pouncing toward Shen Tianjun, instantly launching nine punches, covering every part of Shen Tianjun's body.
Although Shen Tianjun struck first, the Bloody Monk countered with lightning speed, attacking before Shen Tianjun. As a result, even before Shen Tianjun's fist could reach the Bloody Monk, the monk's fists were already upon him. Shen Tianjun had no intention of fighting to the death with the Bloody Monk, so he didn't advance further, withdrawing his hands and simultaneously unleashing nine punches, just enough to block all nine punches from the Bloody Monk.
The Bloody Monk's power was formidable, and those nine punches were merely to test Shen Tianjun's strength. He didn't expect Shen Tianjun to so easily block his punches, which left him shocked. Shen Tianjun, being called the Southern Fist King, was indeed no empty reputation!
"Sect Leader, Mr. Shen doesn't wish to make things difficult for you. Why not heed my advice?" Shen Tianjun said aloud while engaging in combat with the Bloody Monk, "If the Sect Leader listens to my advice to find your senior brother, Mr. Shen can immediately let you leave the Shen Family Manor!"
"Cut the crap! Don't think you can intimidate me just because you outnumber me three to one!" the Bloody Monk shouted, "Even if I die here today, I will never do as you say!"
"Bloody Monk, you're still so stubborn!" Prince Nalan sighed deeply and said loudly, "Shen, against such a person, there's no need for mercy. Such a person is always a hazard; it's better to send him off to the West and act on behalf of justice. Shen, I'll assist you!"
After saying that, Prince Nalan dashed over from afar, with a few leaps, he was in front of the Bloody Monk, delivering a heavy punch towards his back.
The Bloody Monk was already engaging with Shen Tianjun, and suddenly, Prince Nalan attacked from behind, making him caught between two opponents. Moreover, both Prince Nalan and Shen Tianjun's skills were not inferior to his, so the situation was clearly dire for him.
The Bloody Monk let out a long howl, jumped up suddenly to avoid Prince Nalan's punch, then struck down heavily from above at him. Prince Nalan neither dodged nor evaded; he stood his ground, met the Bloody Monk's punch head-on with his own, and their fists collided.
As their fists clashed, the Bloody Monk was sent flying backward, while Prince Nalan's feet were driven into the ground, showcasing the tremendous power of their punches.
"Nalan, ganging up on someone isn't the way of people like us," Shen Tianjun hurriedly came over, standing between Prince Nalan and the Bloody Monk.
Prince Nalan smiled lightly and said, "Shen, with such a person, what need is there for righteousness? Killing him outright will save countless innocent lives!"
Finishing his words, Prince Nalan bypassed Shen Tianjun and ran towards the Bloody Monk. The Nalan family held a deep-seated grudge with the Joyous Monk, and the Joyous Monk was the Bloody Monk's junior, so Prince Nalan vented his anger on the Bloody Monk, determined to settle scores first with him. Thus, he planned to keep the Bloody Monk there and repeatedly pledged to kill the Bloody Monk. Moreover, he calculated that with the Bloody Monk's capabilities being no less than the Five Unmatches, eliminating him this time would be advantageous for the Nalan family.
Seeing Prince Nalan engage in combat with the Bloody Monk again, Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun couldn't help but frown, realizing that Prince Nalan was determined to take the Bloody Monk's life, which was completely different from his prior plan. At this moment, he certainly couldn't help Prince Nalan, nor persuade the Bloody Monk, so he was left with no choice but to stand aside and watch the Bloody Monk and Prince Nalan battle it out.
Both being peak masters, now fighting with their full strength, they moved so fast, with power so great, that the surrounding spectators were utterly astonished. The Five Unmatches of the world were merely folklore to most, rarely had anyone seen them battle. Since the Southern and Northern Fist Kings' duel twenty years ago, no such master-class combat had been witnessed. This clash between the Bloody Monk and Prince Nalan was almost the first in twenty years, incredibly rare.
Northern Martial Zen and Wanyan King were watching closely from the side, clearly seeing the Bloody Monk's and Prince Nalan's skills, yet their faces turned ashen. Despite being top-tier masters themselves, their skills seemed insignificant compared to the Bloody Monk and Prince Nalan. Their movements were so swift, their strength so formidable, that if either of them were to engage, they'd likely have been defeated hundreds of times over.
As the battle was fiercely ongoing, in the back of the Shen Family Manor, the One-Eyed Man seized the moment while everyone's attention was at the front, quietly sneaking into Shen Family Manor. Shen Qingyi had just been rescued and brought back to the rear courtyard by the Shen family, with Old Madam Shen currently attending to her, while Shen Qingyi herself was incessantly crying, clearly terrified by the night's events.
Glimpsing through the window at Shen Qingyi, the One-Eyed Man's face flickered with a cold smile. Seizing the chance when maid Lili stepped out to fetch something, he silently slipped into the room. Although Old Madam Shen's skills were respectable, compared to the One-Eyed Man, there was an insurmountable gap; she didn't even suspect when he sneaked in.
"Qingyi, don't be sad. Grandma will definitely teach these two beasts a good lesson and get justice for you!" Old Madam Shen was still comforting Shen Qingyi, unaware that danger had already enveloped her.
The One-Eyed Man, like a ghost, silently walked behind Old Madam Shen and suddenly lifted a finger and pointed it at the back of her neck.
Old Madam Shen suffered this strike and felt a wave of dizziness in her head. She was quite strong, surprisingly managing not to faint, grabbed the Dragon Head Cane beside her, then swung it behind her.
"Quite some skill!" The One-Eyed Man coldly smiled, easily dodging Old Madam Shen's strike. But Old Madam Shen didn't stop, delivering several hits with the cane continuously, while tremblingly saying, "Qingyi, quick...quickly leave..."
She had been struck on her acupoints by the One-Eyed Man and managed to hold on until now, due to her strong inner strength. However, she was indeed nearing her limit, as the vital acupoints were hit.
Shen Qingyi was also startled. Seeing this One-Eyed Man, she immediately opened her mouth intending to scream. But the One-Eyed Man was extremely fast, stepping forward swiftly, directly pointing his finger at Shen Qingyi's neck, leaving Shen Qingyi unable to make a sound with her mouth wide open.
"Let her go, I... I'll fight you..." Old Madam Shen saw her granddaughter being attacked and immediately charged forward with the Dragon Head Cane vehemently.
"Overestimating your capabilities!" The One-Eyed Man coldly shouted, suddenly stepping forward and bypassing the Dragon Head Cane, rushing directly in front of Old Madam Shen, another finger pointed just below her earlobe. This time, Old Madam Shen finally couldn't hold on, slowly collapsing to the ground, her face full of worry and reluctance, yet she fell into unconsciousness.
Meanwhile, Shen Qingyi had her acupoints struck by the One-Eyed Man, mouth wide open but unable to speak. Seeing Old Madam Shen faint on the ground, she was even more panicked, hurriedly running over to support Old Madam Shen, gesturing wildly at the One-Eyed Man, pleading for him not to kill Old Madam Shen.
The One-Eyed Man naturally wouldn't kill Old Madam Shen, his purpose this time was mainly to disrupt the Shen Family's match-making, not to feud with them. If he killed Old Madam Shen, it would lead to Shen Family becoming enemies with the Twelve Green Halls, which was not something the Twelve Green Halls wanted to see. As for destroying the match-making, that wasn't so important; the Shen Family might not necessarily go to war with the Twelve Green Halls over such a matter.
"Miss Shen, don't be afraid. I'm here to help you." The One-Eyed Man coldly smiled, "They say lovers are destined to be together. Don't you want to see your Ye?"
Hearing this, Shen Qingyi's expression immediately changed, looking at the One-Eyed Man in shock, her eyes full of questioning.
"Follow me and you'll see him!" The One-Eyed Man laughed.
Shen Qingyi warily stepped back. She wasn't foolish and certainly wouldn't believe the One-Eyed Man's words.
"Don't want to leave? Haha, it's not up to you!" The One-Eyed Man charged directly to Shen Qingyi, grabbed her shoulder, and immediately poured the remaining half-bottle of medicine into her mouth.
This is Ning Qianshu's exclusive secret medicine, without any toxicity, it could even be considered a tonic that maximizes one's desires. Ye Qing had taken half a bottle, and Shen Qingyi also consumed half a bottle, making the One-Eyed Man's intentions incredibly clear.
"It's done!" The One-Eyed Man coldly laughed, saying, "Miss Shen, when you marry Ye Qing, you'll understand my good intentions. Of course, you don't need to thank me; I just like doing good deeds."
After speaking, the One-Eyed Man directly grabbed Shen Qingyi and rushed out of the villa. Although there were quite a number of people in the Shen Family Manor's backyard, with the One-Eyed Man's strength, these individuals wouldn't be able to detect him at all. The masters of the Shen Family were currently gathered at the manor's entrance, surrounding the Bloody Monk, who would have thought that a Peak Master had also snuck into the Shen Family Manor's backyard and abducted Shen Qingyi?
Not long after the One-Eyed Man left the Shen Family Manor with Shen Qingyi, the maid Lili walked from the kitchen into the bedroom with a bowl of hot soup. The commotion here had not yet alerted her. When she saw the situation inside the bedroom, she was immediately stunned. After a while, the bowl in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, emitting a terrified sharp scream.
