Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1503 - 1503: Meridians Severed, Martial Arts Destroyed

"Hahaha..." The Earl laughed and said, "This method is great, begging to survive, interesting, interesting, this is more fun than killing him!"The Bishop sneered continuously. He understood Huaxia better than the Earl, and naturally knew more about the significance of severed meridians to martial artists from Huaxia.

The Earl let go of his hand, and Ye Qing on the ground only struggled weakly a few times, unable even to crawl up.

At this moment, Ye Qing's meridians within his body were completely severed. The True Qi that was originally gathered inside was now collecting in various places throughout his body due to the severed meridians. This inner strength in his body was the culmination of a lifetime's cultivation level of Northern Fist King Li Changqing. If an ordinary person obtained this True Qi, they would probably have already exploded and died. But Ye Qing was different. His meridians were naturally blocked since birth, causing the True Qi to gather together, unable to flow through the meridians. Originally, when his meridians were intact, it was somewhat manageable as the True Qi was congregated. Now, with his meridians completely severed, the True Qi lost its dwelling place and began to circulate wildly within him, putting Ye Qing's body in unbearable pain, almost as if it would explode from the increasing pressure of the True Qi!

And Ye Qing's heart sank to the bottom. These two people didn't kill him; instead, they just severed his meridians, which was worse than killing him. In his current state, if he walked out, he would surely be trampled by many people, and if those enemies from the past came back for revenge, what would he fight them with? Perhaps even more people around him might die because of this!

Until this moment, Ye Qing felt a deep yearning for power within his heart, a strong desire. Only after losing power did he realize how helpless it was to be without it. Perhaps he never thought of stepping on everyone else or becoming the strongest in the world. But without power, what right did he have to protect the people he loved, the people around him, or even talk about other matters?

The surging True Qi within made Ye Qing's body feel a bit swollen. However, with his meridians completely severed, this True Qi was trapped inside, unable to be released. This sensation of vibrating pain just made Ye Qing more uncomfortable, as if his body was about to be torn apart by the surging True Qi. Luckily, there was a large deposit of the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill effect in his body, which could quickly repair his physical wounds, preventing his death.

However, despite the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill's effect being able to repair his wounds, it couldn't mend his broken meridians. Otherwise, Shen Tianjun would have already used the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill to heal his meridians.

Watching Ye Qing rolling on the ground in pain, the Earl couldn't help but laugh even more gleefully. He walked over, stepped on Ye Qing's head, and laughed heartily: "Without inner strength, how is this person any different from a pig? Hmph, letting him beg like this is too easy on him, isn't it? I think, for people like this, we shouldn't be too merciful. I suggest we cut off one of his legs and one arm to make him a cripple, isn't that more fun?"

"Don't be so hasty." The Bishop walked over, looking at Ye Qing with a cold smile, and said: "Huaxia man, I said if you didn't answer me, I would sever your meridians. Now, you know I'm a man of my word, don't you? I am a kind-hearted person and don't like to push people to extremes. So, I'll give you one more chance. Tell me where the map is, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, as you can see, Count Tony wants to cut off one of your legs and one arm to avenge Baron T Colin and those people. You wouldn't want to be crippled after losing your martial arts, would you? If you really became a cripple, even begging, you'd be bullied by other beggars!"

Ye Qing gritted his teeth, raised his head to look at the Bishop, and spat fiercely. With a trembling voice, he said: "You... you'd better kill me, otherwise, I... I will one day personally kill you all!"

Ye Qing had never said such words to anyone. This time, having gone through this experience, his mindset had changed significantly. Originally, he was quite compassionate toward people, but now he understood that there was no need to talk about compassion with enemies. Showing compassion to them is being cruel to yourself!

"Kill us?" The Bishop laughed and said: "Have you forgotten? You are already a cripple with no strength left. Even if I gave you a knife and stood still, you couldn't kill me. Holding a knife, you can't even cut through meat, so how do you want to kill us? Based on what?"

"Huaxia people are just so arrogant!" The Earl sneered beside him and said: "Bishop, there's no need to waste words with him. It seems this kid isn't going to reveal the map's whereabouts, so let me cut off one of his arms and show him how powerful we are!"

"See that? Count Tony isn't as easy to talk to as I am!" The Bishop said coldly, looking at Ye Qing, "Huaxia man, I'll ask you one more time, where is the map? Hand over the map obediently, and I'll let you leave intact, and even give you some money so that you won't have to beg in the future. If you remain stubborn, you won't be able to reattach a severed arm!"

Ye Qing turned his head to the side, refusing to even look at the Bishop. Having fallen to this state, he no longer thought about living, let alone being threatened by trivial matters like this.

"Oh dear, so you're really not taking the easy way out!" The Bishop glanced at the Earl, who was already eager to try, and seeing the Bishop's consent, he immediately walked over, casually picking Ye Qing up.

"Should I cut off his left arm or his right arm?" The Earl asked leisurely.

"Whatever you like, you..." The Bishop had just said half the sentence when he suddenly turned his head to look into the distance and said in a deep voice: "Not good, someone's coming!"

"Who is it?" The Earl was also taken aback, following the Bishop's gaze.

"I don't know." The Bishop paused and said in a deep voice: "However, judging by the sound of the footsteps, they don't seem very strong."

"If they're not strong, then why should we be afraid of them!" The Earl clapped his hands and said: "I'll deal with this kid first!"

"Don't rush." The Bishop shook his head and said, "Those coming here at this time might be this kid's backup, and the map might be related to them. Let's keep this kid here for now; when those people arrive, we can use the kid to threaten them, and perhaps even force out the whereabouts of the map!"

"Is that so?" The Earl paused slightly in silence, reached out and lifted Ye Qing up, and casually struck the back of Ye Qing's head, knocking him out directly.

"What are you doing?" The Bishop asked curiously, not understanding why the Earl wanted to knock Ye Qing out.

The Earl said, "Knock him out first to prevent him from shouting later, which might alert those people."

"Makes sense!" The Bishop nodded, quite satisfied with the Earl's action.

"By the way, what exactly is that map?" The Earl looked at the Bishop and asked solemnly, "Why do the Elders care so much?"

The Bishop hesitated slightly; this matter was extremely important, and he was reluctant to talk about it. However, he also understood the Earl's character, knowing that this person was extremely arrogant and had always been at odds with him. If he didn't disclose this matter, the Earl might get angry and secretly cause troubles for him, which would be troublesome.

The Bishop said in a somber tone, "The matter of the map is a big secret. I can tell you, but you must keep it confidential!"

"Rest assured, I will absolutely not leak this matter!" The Earl replied earnestly.

"That's good!" The Bishop nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "Have you heard of the Xuanyuan Sword?"

"Xuanyuan Sword? What's that?" The Earl asked puzzled.

The Bishop said solemnly, "It's a weapon from Huaxia; its power is very terrifying. It's said that even an ordinary person wielding this sword can easily slay our Archbishop!"

"What is that?" The Earl widened his eyes; he was well aware of the Archbishop's strength. The Archbishop was capable of handling three to five of him effortlessly. And yet, an ordinary person holding a sword could easily kill the Archbishop, how is that possible?

The Bishop said, "This Xuanyuan Sword is hailed as the ancient first Divine Weapon of Huaxia, its power is even greater than that of the Sun Shooting Bow!"

"Is there such a thing?" The Earl expressed disbelief and said, "The Sun Shooting Bow is already so terrifying, how could Huaxia possibly have something even more terrifying?"

"That's the issue!" The Bishop spread his hands and said, "Huaxia not only has weapons more terrifying than the Sun Shooting Bow, but there is more than one!"

"More than one?" The Earl took a sharp breath and said, "How... how can Huaxia have so many terrifying weapons?"

The Bishop said, "So, the Elders have said that Huaxia is incredibly mysterious. If it's not necessary, we should avoid provoking them. Huaxia's Martial Artists are not easy to handle, and the weapons passed down from ancient times are also formidable!"

The Earl, after witnessing the strength of the Northern Martial Zen, dared not underestimate Huaxia's Martial Artists. Hearing the Bishop's words, he didn't refute because this time, he also realized that Huaxia isn't as simple as he imagined.

"But what does this matter have to do with our map?" The Earl asked curiously.

"Don't worry, listen to me explain slowly." The Bishop said solemnly, "The Xuanyuan Sword is said to be Huaxia's first ancient sword, also the first strongest weapon. Below the Xuanyuan Sword, there is another formidable weapon, reportedly made from the same material by the same person. This weapon is called the Minghong Knife, and it's considered the second strongest weapon in Huaxia!"
