Urban Martial Saint
Chapter 1527: Pushed Too Far
"Members of the Seven Families? You still have the face to mention the Seven Families to me?" Zhou Junhan said coldly, "Hmph, when your Huangfu Household betrayed the Seven Families years ago, did you ever mention that you were also members of the Seven Families? Trying to associate with me now, do you think it's still possible?"
"Uncle Zhou, no matter what, we're all here now, so why bring up past matters?" Chen San stepped out and said, "The Huangfu Household has also arrived, isn't it to help open the Great Tomb? No matter what, we're all in this together, don't start internal strife!"
"Shut up, junior, what right do you have to speak!" Zhou Junhan pointed at Chen San, angrily said, "Hmph, what do you mean by saying they came to help open the Great Tomb? If we want them to come, dare they not come? If they delay matters of the Seven Families, I guarantee that their Huangfu Household will be completely wiped out, not a single descendant left!"
Earlier, when leaving the manor, Huangfu Zilong falsely accused Zhou Chengtian, so the Zhou Family harbored deep resentment towards the Huangfu Household. Moreover, just now, the Zhou Family ambushed the Huangfu Family inside, and Zhou Junhan intended to take the opportunity to trample the Huangfu Household underfoot, hence his words were extremely arrogant.
Chen San, though displeased, knew well that the Chen Family had fallen into such a state, with power on par with the Huangfu Household, he had no right to say anything, and could only sigh and step back.
At this moment, Huangfu Ziyu, who had fallen to the ground, slowly got up, looked coldly at Zhou Junhan, and said in a deep voice, "Zhou Junhan, I'll remember this account!"
"Remembering it, so what?" Zhou Junhan suddenly sneered, without any apparent movement, he directly rushed behind Huangfu Ziyu, grabbed Ye Qing who was behind Huangfu Ziyu, and lifted Ye Qing up.
"What are you doing!" Huangfu Ziyu was shocked, hastily cried out, but she was too late to stop it, as Ye Qing was already under Zhou Junhan's grasp.
"Doing what?" Zhou Junhan smiled coldly, and said, "This Ye person's background is unknown, maybe he's a spy sent by someone. Leaving him by your side is always a threat, better to eliminate him quickly. Huangfu Ziyu, I know you can't bring yourself to do it, so just to prevent you from making mistakes again, I, as an elder, will deal with him for you!"
As Zhou Junhan spoke, he raised his hand, about to strike Ye Qing's head. Huangfu Ziyu's expression changed drastically, she hurriedly rushed forward to stop him, but clearly, her speed was already too late.
At this tense moment, suddenly a dragon's roar came from the side, followed by an encompassing Saber Qi aiming straight for Zhou Junhan's back. Although Zhou Junhan was very strong, he dared not be reckless, quickly released Ye Qing and turned around in a hurry, only to see a Saber Glow already slicing towards him.
"Courting death!" Zhou Junhan coldly shouted, extended his right hand, and directly caught the long blade, which was Cui Yulong's Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade.
At the most critical moment, it was still Cui Yulong who took action to save Ye Qing. However, his power was far inferior to Zhou Junhan, and this slash couldn't harm Zhou Junhan at all.
"You are really asking for death, I let you go yesterday, and today you come to court death again, then I'll fulfill your wish!" Zhou Junhan shouted, twisted his right hand, and directly snatched the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade. Holding the blade, he was about to strike, but then he felt a sharp pain in his palm, which greatly surprised him. Looking down, he saw a cut on his palm, not knowing what had caused it.
"This blade is strange!" Zhou Junhan was greatly shocked, having been injured while holding the handle, this was something he had never encountered before.
He didn't know that without the Scabbard, the Saber Qi of the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade couldn't be suppressed. Anyone other than Cui Yulong, whoever held it, would be hurt by the Saber Qi, even holding the handle wouldn't help.
However, Zhou Junhan was indeed a formidable master, feeling the intense pain in his palm, he directly threw away the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade. But his right hand's speed didn't decrease, still reaching out to grab Cui Yulong. If he were caught solidly, Cui Yulong's neck would undoubtedly be crushed.
Zhou Junhan's speed was extremely fast, Cui Yulong couldn't retreat in time, seemingly about to be caught, when a white shadow suddenly flashed by, directly blocking his front.
Zhou Junhan also saw a white shadow, but before he could react, his right hand had already grabbed a neck. He didn't think much and immediately exerted force, intending to cripple the opponent. However, as he applied force, he suddenly realized that it was as if squeezing a steel plate, unable to hurt the opponent at all.
"What's going on?" Zhou Junhan was greatly astonished, upon closer inspection, standing before him wasn't Cui Yulong, but a white-clothed, white-haired man. His hand was gripping this man's neck.
"White-haired Ding San!" Many people at the scene exclaimed, as many knew of White-haired Ding San's reputation, seeing his action, most people widened their eyes, eager to see just how strong White-haired Ding San really was.
"Junhan, back off quickly!" The Patriarch of the Zhou Family hurriedly shouted, while rushing over, trying to save Zhou Junhan.
However, it was clearly too late by now. White-haired Ding San casually reached out and grabbed Zhou Junhan's arm. With a forceful tug, Zhou Junhan was pulled directly towards him. White-haired Ding San held onto Zhou Junhan and swung him back and forth like a toy, slamming him to the ground three times. Fortunately, the Patriarch of the Zhou Family rushed over at this moment and caught Zhou Junhan, finally stopping White-haired Ding San from continuing to batter Zhou Junhan.
Everyone on the scene was stunned by this sight. Although Zhou Junhan was not a top-level master, he wasn't far off from one. Ao Wuchang knew best; he had fought Zhou Junhan before, and with Zhou Junhan's skills, it would take at least fifty moves to defeat him. But now, in White-haired Ding San's hands, Zhou Junhan was like a toy. Just how powerful was White-haired Ding San?
Actually, White-haired Ding San's strength wasn't overly powerful; he was just stronger than a top-level master. However, he had an undying body, undying and indestructible, making him invincible to everyone's attacks. This placed him in an unbeatable position. Thus, even top-level masters found no advantage against him in a fight.
The Patriarch of the Zhou Family caught Zhou Junhan and hurriedly kicked several times, hoping to force White-haired Ding San to let go of Zhou Junhan. However, White-haired Ding San felt no pain at all. Even with these kicks landing on his body, Ding San didn't loosen his grip. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the Patriarch's leg, lifting him up as well.
The Patriarch of the Zhou Family was also a top-level master and never dreamed that he would be lifted up like this. He almost went mad, struggling and roaring, urgently shouting: "Brothers of the Seven Families, help quickly!"
The people of the Seven Families were still watching for fun. Hearing this, they finally snapped back to reality. Although there was internal discord within the Seven Families, White-haired Ding San was still someone from Sha Men. Moreover, if Zhou Family lost these two people at this moment, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Seven Families' power, which would not benefit them. So, hearing the Zhou Family Patriarch's call, seven or eight masters immediately rushed over to intercept White-haired Ding San, hoping to rescue Zhou Junhan and the Zhou Family Patriarch.
"Seven Kills Formation, advance!" At this moment, Cui Yu also shouted, leading the Killing Gate Seven Hidden, setting up the Seven Kills Formation, and rushing out, precisely guarding beside White-haired Ding San.
"It's the Seven Kills Formation!" Ao Wuchang's face changed, anxiously saying, "Don't get caught in it; the Seven Kills Formation can trap even top-level masters!"
"Everyone, don't act impulsively!" At this moment, the Patriarch of the Bai Family also stopped everyone, saying loudly, "Friends of Sha Men, the Sun Shooting Bow hasn't appeared yet. Do you all want to fight with us until mutual destruction?"
Cui Yu, with a calm expression, said, "Ye Qing is our benefactor at Sha Men. Anyone who wants to harm him is our enemy. As long as you don't trouble Ye Qing, the two from the Zhou Family will not be harmed!"
"******, what is Ye Qing compared to our Family Head!" Zhou Junsheng cursed angrily.
Cui Yu frowned slightly and softly called out. Over there, White-haired Ding San, seeming to receive a signal, suddenly threw the Zhou Family Patriarch to the ground and stomped on him. At the same time, he lifted up Zhou Junhan with one hand, grabbed Zhou Junhan's ear with the other, and with a tug, tore off Zhou Junhan's ear without the slightest hesitation.
During this time, the Zhou Family Patriarch and Zhou Junhan struck White-haired Ding San dozens of times, yet Ding San seemed to have felt nothing, with his actions not slowing in the slightest.
Severely injured, Zhou Junhan screamed in agony. Were it not for Ding San holding him, he would surely have been rolling on the ground!
The Zhou family was enraged, and the people of the Seven Families' expressions also changed. The actions of the Sha Men, tearing off Zhou Junhan's ear in front of everyone, seemed to disregard the Seven Families entirely.
"You have quite the nerve, really think we can't handle you?" Ao Wuchang said in a deep voice.
"When has Sha Men ever feared anyone!" Cui Yu declared loudly: "The Sect Leader has stated that in tonight's battle, anyone who harms Sha Men, the Sect Leader will personally pay a visit another day!"
These words caused an uproar in the crowd. What kind of person was the Bloody Monk, who single-handedly destroyed the entire Xiaolin Temple; his martial arts were akin to the Five Uniques, and he was immensely murderous, inclined to wipe out whole families if things displeased him. Furthermore, other peak masters, holding to their dignified statuses, generally wouldn't strike against the weak. But the Bloody Monk was different; he said what he would do, even if it meant killing the elderly, women, and children. If he truly decided to come, there would be no mistake about it. With the Bloody Monk's strength, who could escape?
The people of the Seven Families were also terrified, but for the sake of face, one of them still said in a deep voice, "Humph, do you think a single Bloody Monk can scare us?"
"If you're not afraid, then come and try!" Cui Yu declared with a loud voice: "Since the Sect Leader isn't here, you think it would be difficult to kill us!"
Faced with the people of Sha Men, not a single person from the Seven Families moved forward. On one hand, it was due to Zhou Junhan and the Zhou Family Patriarch being in Ding San's hands; on the other hand, they were truly afraid of the Bloody Monk.
