Urban Martial Saint
Chapter 1533 1533: Wing Chun Inch Power (10-Chapter Burst)
Actually, Ye Qing killed Huang Yidao to exert psychological pressure on these people. He had already seen that while everyone was distracted, the people of Sha Men were sneaking off with Huangfu Zilong and his sister towards the parking lot. He wanted to buy them time, allowing them to escape first, so he could be free of concerns.
The incident of killing Huang Yidao indeed brought significant mental pressure to everyone here. You must know that Huang Yidao was a renowned master for a long time, not as famous as the Five Uniques, but still a top-level master, known throughout the land. Now lying dead at Ye Qing's hands, crushed as if by an ant, who wouldn't be shocked?
If even top-level masters can die like this, who else would dare to step forward?
The scene fell into silence for a moment, as Ye Qing stood alone holding the pass, and the hundreds of people here dared not advance even an inch. This confrontation lasted nearly five minutes until someone from the Zhou Family suddenly shouted: "Not good, the people of Sha Men are about to run!"
The crowd's attention had mostly been focused on Ye Qing, failing to notice the Sha Men people. Upon hearing this, they realized that the Sha Men people, along with Huangfu Zilong and his sister, were no longer there, already heading to the parking lot.
"The one named Ye is buying these people time!" An elder of the Wan Yan Family immediately shouted: "The one named Ye is afraid of so many of us; he's not our match at all, so he's delaying to let the Sha Men people take away the Huangfu Household."
"Quickly pursue them! If the Sha Men people take away the remnants of the Huangfu Household, the Sun Shooting Bow will also become theirs!"
"Kill Ye Qing! Kill Ye Qing!"
The crowd continuously roared, and at this moment, they could no longer care about the shock Ye Qing had given them earlier, rushing out frantically to chase the Sha Men people.
"Courting death!" Ye Qing shouted, grabbing the fallen Prince Wan Yan from the ground, wielding him like a weapon, directly swinging him at the few people running at the forefront.
These people were not weak, but compared to Ye Qing, they were worlds apart. Ye Qing swung Prince Wan Yan over, and they couldn't evade in time, being hit by him and simultaneously knocked back.
Three people fell to the ground, bleeding from their heads, their leg bones broken, which was considered lucky. One was directly knocked to a distant rock wall, hit his head, and died on the spot.
However, Ye Qing's current dominance failed to affect the crowd even slightly. These people, for the Sun Shooting Bow, disregarded their own lives and ignored everything else. Although the four people at the forefront were knocked down by Ye Qing, those behind rushed forward relentlessly, making it impossible for Ye Qing to repel all of them.
The eight Supreme Elders of the Wan Yan Family also charged forward, collectively attacking Ye Qing, forcing him to drop Prince Wan Yan.
The situation Ye Qing was in now was extremely perilous, because the restriction of his meridians prevented him from fully exerting the Inner Strength of Northern Fist King Li Changqing. Therefore, with the eight Supreme Elders attacking him together, Ye Qing couldn't repel all of them at once, and they took advantage of the chaos to rescue Prince Wan Yan.
Prince Wan Yan managed to escape Ye Qing's grasp and stood up, looking extremely miserable, his expression icy cold like a blade.
"The one named Ye, I'll fight you to the death!" Prince Wan Yan roared, shaking the sky: "Wan Yan Family, heed my command, forget the Sun Shooting Bow for now, kill Ye Qing together first!"
All the people of the Wan Yan Family charged forward upon hearing the family head's words, attacking Ye Qing together, aiming to kill Ye Qing amidst the chaos.
"Zhou Family, heed my command, kill Ye Qing!" The Patriarch of the Zhou Family also shouted loudly.
"Bai Family, heed my command, kill Ye Qing with all your might!" The Patriarch of the Bai Family issued the same order.
"Proud Family, heed my command…"
"Everyone, attack together, kill Ye Qing…"
Many people were shouting, and most had no intention of pursuing Sha Men, but instead surrounded Ye Qing, aiming to kill him amidst the chaos.
These people were the same ones who had surrounded Sha Men earlier, forcing the Huangfu Household. They knew full well that once Ye Qing was free to act, he would inevitably seek revenge on them one by one. Ye Qing now possessed power comparable to the Five Uniques; if he were to exact revenge on them, that would be disastrous. Hence, these people were willing to forgo the Sun Shooting Bow affair, intending to kill Ye Qing first to eliminate future worries.
After all, the Sun Shooting Bow merely creates a figure comparable to the Five Uniques, whereas Ye Qing already possesses strength akin to the Five Uniques. Hence, eliminating Ye Qing is of utmost importance.
Surrounded by two to three hundred people, Ye Qing stood in the midst of them at the forefront, facing Prince Wan Yan and the eight Supreme Elders, the Patriarch of the Zhou Family, the Patriarch of the Bai Family, Ao Wuchang, and top-level masters from the seven families. Additionally, surrounded by Northern Martial Zen, Master Yuan Le, the Taoist, the nun, anyway, most of the top-level masters gathered around Ye Qing, collectively attacking, intending to destroy Ye Qing.
Ye Qing found himself surrounded, and even with his impressive skills, it was clear he couldn't hold on much longer. His meridians wouldn't allow him to exert full strength, and with over thirty top martial artists encircling him, even if he could fight with full power, this battle seemed unwinnable from the start.
Seeing Ye Qing's situation becoming increasingly dire, the crowd around him grew more excited. Especially those at the forefront of the attack, eager to kill Ye Qing at once and end this matter decisively.
"Ye, is this all you've got?" Northern Martial Zen sneered, "I thought you were stronger. It seems I've overestimated you!"
"Hmph, this Ye is nothing but a clown who somehow gained this level of power and really thought he was invincible under the heavens!"
"Enough with the chatter, kill him!"
The crowd roared wildly, striking more fiercely with the sole intention of killing Ye Qing. Although most bore no personal grudge against him, at this moment, everyone acted like butchers eager to finish Ye Qing off.
Fortunately, Ye Qing had the Wing Chun Fist, an invincible close-combat style, along with the stepping technique of the Tiangang Beidou Formation and a smattering of Carefree Movement, which allowed him to hold on. Nevertheless, looking at his condition and the current situation, it's hard to be optimistic about how long Ye Qing can last.
Prince Wan Yan, with a gaze full of venom, prowled around Ye Qing, looking for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow. After circling for what seemed like dozens of times, he finally found an opening as a flaw appeared on Ye Qing's back.
Overjoyed, Prince Wan Yan quickly pulled out a sharp dagger and leaped toward Ye Qing like a ghost, stabbing straight at his back. He had planned this move to at least heavily injure Ye Qing if not kill him.
However, just as he was about to strike Ye Qing, the situation unexpectedly changed. Ye Qing somehow casually stepped aside, dodging his attack. At the same time, he half-turned and sent a hand towards Prince Wan Yan's chest.
"Ah!" Prince Wan Yan was shocked, knowing he couldn't evade, so he quickly channeled his inner strength, intending to take the palm head-on.
But as his inner strength reached his chest, Ye Qing's palm stopped just an inch away from his chest.
Prince Wan Yan was momentarily stunned, unsure of what had just happened. During this brief moment of distraction, some of the inner strength in his chest dissipated. In this moment of energy dispersal, Ye Qing's palm suddenly advanced an inch, landing squarely on his chest.
Taking this hit, Prince Wan Yan was sent flying back as if struck by Ye Qing's Stick to the Mountain move, crashing into three other people before landing eight meters away. Struggling to get up, he felt a sweetness in his throat and vomited three mouthfuls of blood consecutively, unable to suppress the tumult in his core, suffering severe internal injuries.
"Wing Chun Inch Power!" Ao Wuchang's face turned cold, clearly seeing Ye Qing using the Wing Chun Inch Punch to send Prince Wan Yan flying. He couldn't believe that Ye Qing, besides excelling in Bajiquan, was also so adept in Wing Chun Fist. This inch power mastery was like turning iron into gold, gravely injuring a top-level master with one hit, a difficult feat indeed.
Of course, after striking Prince Wan Yan, Ye Qing was also hit by several people. Luckily, Ye Qing's inner strength was profound, and these attacks didn't significantly harm him. However, Prince Wan Yan, after receiving Ye Qing's blow, was left completely incapacitated, collapsing utterly.
"Dare to injure our family head, kill him!" one Supreme Elder shouted, while the other Supreme Elders intensified their assault on Ye Qing, their efforts becoming more desperate.
Within the crowd, Northern Martial Zen saw Prince Wan Yan being struck by Ye Qing, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes. Seizing the moment when no one was watching, he suddenly leaped from the crowd, darting straight toward Prince Wan Yan.
Previously, Northern Martial Zen had nearly been killed by Prince Wan Yan and was consequently thoroughly controlled by Prince Nalan. He had long harbored a grudge in his heart. Now, seeing Prince Wan Yan severely injured and realizing it was his chance, he charged out, aiming to finish Prince Wan Yan off with one strike.
Prince Wan Yan, lying limp on the ground, watched Northern Martial Zen charging at him, so scared that his pores opened wide. He didn't have the strength to resist and could only roll on the ground while urgently crying out, "Help me! Help me!"
In a twist of fate, despite the situation, Prince Wan Yan managed to evade Northern Martial Zen's attack. The eight Supreme Elders witnessing the scene were also startled and rushed over quickly.
"Northern Martial Zen, you're courting death!" one Supreme Elder shouted, hastily following Northern Martial Zen in attack.
Having missed his strike, Northern Martial Zen knew he'd completely lost his chance. Being no fool, he didn't attempt a second attack but instead turned and ran down the mountain.
All eight Supreme Elders of the Wanyan Family surged forward and protected Prince Wan Yan. There was no time left to deal with Ye Qing; after all, Prince Wan Yan was the family head. If he were to die, the family would be doomed.
With all eight Supreme Elders withdrawing, Ye Qing suddenly felt much less pressured. Watching those still surrounding and attacking him, Ye Qing let out a long howl, subsequently channeling his inner strength and launching over a dozen punches in all directions!
