Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1743 - 1743: The Mad Beast

(The book has been renamed to "Urban Martial Saint," just search for Urban Martial Saint from now on.)The dragon crocodile could never have anticipated that Ye Qing would have such a move. A scabbard strike landed on its neck, causing blood to gush out instantly. The dragon crocodile roared in retreat; the intense pain was unbearable, making it retreat step by step into the underground river. In the river, it struggled and roared desperately, the bloodwater dyeing the river red. But after not long, it gradually fell silent, killed by Ye Qing's single scabbard strike.

On Ye Qing's side, he had managed to deal with one dragon crocodile, but this had attracted the attention of the largest dragon crocodile. It had been eating a corpse when it saw the dragon crocodile killed by Ye Qing, and a murderous glint flashed distinctly in its eyes.

Facing the largest dragon crocodile, Ye Qing felt some panic. Compared to this dragon crocodile, the two earlier were mere child's play. If this great dragon crocodile were to fight him desperately, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with.

As the great dragon crocodile stared at Ye Qing, another little dragon crocodile also fixed its gaze on him, circling him continuously and letting out low growls, seemingly ready to pounce and tear Ye Qing apart.

"Roar." Suddenly, the great dragon crocodile let out a roar, scaring Ye Qing into raising his scabbard, preparing to confront the great dragon crocodile. But the great dragon crocodile didn't attack him; instead, it looked towards the little dragon crocodile nearby.

Upon hearing the great dragon crocodile's sound, the little dragon crocodile paused for a moment, then suddenly turned and avoided Ye Qing, heading towards the passage within the river.

Seeing this, change swept Ye Qing's face. It was evident that the great dragon crocodile was commanding the little dragon crocodile to go attack those in the passage. These dragon crocodiles were clearly intelligent!

Handsome Fatty Wang and others were hiding inside the passage; if the little dragon crocodile reached them, it would be disastrous.

"Fatty, the dragon crocodile's entering the passage, run!" Ye Qing urgently shouted while gripping the scabbard tightly and rushing toward the little dragon crocodile. There were so many people in the passage; under no circumstances could he let this little dragon crocodile enter.

As Ye Qing hurried in that direction, the great dragon crocodile let out a roar, extending its paw towards Ye Qing. This great dragon crocodile was far more formidable than the previous two small dragon crocodiles; its paw was akin to a dustpan, and if it grabbed Ye Qing, he would surely be killed instantly.

Ye Qing didn't dare hesitate, quickly raised his scabbard horizontally, and struck the paw with force.

Too confident, the great dragon crocodile didn't dodge, and let the strike hit its paw directly. As a result, Ye Qing's scabbard only left a blood mark on the great dragon crocodile's paw, while Ye Qing himself was swatted away, illustrating the terrifying force of the great dragon crocodile, rivalling the strength of a peak master.

Ye Qing crashed into the stone wall behind him, stopping finally, utterly dazed by the impact. However, the great dragon crocodile seemed shocked by the blood mark left by Ye Qing's strike, and it roared madly, once more lunging at Ye Qing with both claws extended.

The great dragon crocodile truly had tough, thick skin, much more terrifying than the two little dragon crocodiles earlier. Even while wielding the scabbard of The Ancestor of Miao Dao, Ye Qing couldn't sever its claws, which was simply too formidable!

Ye Qing stood up against the wall, quickly turned to dodge, employing the Carefree Movement technique supplemented by the Heavenly Gangs and Northern Dipper stepping technique, disorienting the great dragon crocodile. Its two claws swiped chaotically but failed to touch Ye Qing at all. While its strength was terrifying, its agility, however, was lacking.

Ye Qing ran for a moment, suddenly maneuvering to the back of the great dragon crocodile, raised the scabbard, and fiercely struck at its tail. Yet, just like before, it only left a blood mark on the great dragon crocodile's tail, amounting only to a surface wound that couldn't possibly end the great dragon crocodile's life.

Meanwhile, the little dragon crocodile had already rushed into the passage. It reached in with its paw, grabbing two people and dragging them out; these two were scared to the point of crying out but couldn't free themselves.

The little dragon crocodile stuffed one person directly into its mouth, biting them into two. As for the other, it flung them against the side wall, knocking this person out cold.

Chaos erupted inside the passage, and Ye Qing could still hear Handsome Fatty Wang's shouting: "Damn, why are you running? Young Ye is still in there! You bunch of bastards, where's your loyalty?"

A warmth spread in Ye Qing's heart; this Handsome Fatty Wang, although unreliable, truly held loyalty dear. Even amidst the chaos, he was thinking of him.

After killing those two people, the little dragon crocodile again lunged into the passage, extending its paw once more to grab the people inside.

Seeing this situation, Ye Qing frowned deeply. If this little dragon crocodile continued unabated like this, the people in the passage wouldn't be able to escape; eventually, they'd all be caught and killed by it.

While Ye Qing was pondering, two more people were dragged out by the little dragon crocodile. These two people screamed and cried for their parents, but the little dragon crocodile ignored them completely, tearing them into fragments, dying horribly. The little dragon crocodile seemed very keen on this task, once again crouching down, extending its claws into the passage to grab more people.

On Ye Qing's side, the great dragon crocodile was still pursuing him relentlessly. Ye Qing had attacked twice without success and realized that this great dragon crocodile was not easy to deal with. Therefore, he dared not engage in direct confrontation anymore, relying on his speed to constantly evade.

Watching the massacre of people behind him by the little dragon crocodile, Ye Qing suddenly gritted his teeth. After dodging another incoming strike from the great dragon crocodile, he abruptly changed direction and charged toward the little dragon crocodile.

The great dragon crocodile seemed to sense Ye Qing's intentions and let out a roar immediately. Upon hearing the sound, the little dragon crocodile turned its head, but by that time, Ye Qing had already closed in and leaped onto its shell.

"Die!" Ye Qing shouted loudly, swinging the scabbard heavily at the little dragon crocodile's neck.

The little dragon crocodile let out a piercing screech. This blow it couldn't dodge at all, and its head was almost chopped off by Ye Qing.

However, just as Ye Qing's strike landed on its neck, the little dragon crocodile's tail swept over from behind, directly coiling around Ye Qing. The little dragon crocodile screamed shrilly but did not release its grip, binding Ye Qing tightly, as if determined to perish together with him.

Ye Qing struggled hard, but the little dragon crocodile, fighting with its last gasp, wasn't easy to shake off. Meanwhile, the great dragon crocodile charged over in fury, stretching out its claws to grab at Ye Qing.

Seeing the situation, Ye Qing was shocked, knowing this time he could not dodge. He took a deep breath, channeled all his inner strength, protecting his body. As the great dragon crocodile's claws grasped his body, an immense force enveloped Ye Qing, almost crushing his bones. The pain nearly made Ye Qing faint. If not for the timely protection of his body with inner strength, he would undoubtedly have been knocked out.

Unable to crush Ye Qing, the great dragon crocodile went berserk, opening its mouth to bite towards Ye Qing.

The mouth of the great dragon crocodile was much larger than that of the little dragon crocodile, enough to swallow half of Ye Qing's body. If bitten, even if Ye Qing had nine lives, they would all end here.

Ye Qing reacted extremely quickly, without hesitation, he raised the scabbard in his hand, placing it vertically in the mouth of the great dragon crocodile. The great dragon crocodile bit down forcefully, but the scabbard propped its mouth open, preventing it from closing and unable to bite Ye Qing.

Ye Qing's head was pushed into the mouth of the great dragon crocodile, where he could see its jagged white teeth near his neck. It was a perilous scene. However, no matter how terrifying the great dragon crocodile's power, it couldn't bite through the scabbard. After several attempts, the scabbard remained intact, while the inside of its mouth started bleeding profusely.

The great dragon crocodile, in pain and clearly enraged, let out a roar, using its claws with all its might, intending to crush Ye Qing alive.

During this process, Ye Qing was also storing strength. In the Demon Hideout Cave, he learned the Power of Dragon Elephant left by Patriarch Bodhidharma, which could enhance one's strength several times over, even tenfold. Ye Qing pushed his strength to the limit, feeling the immense pressure from the great dragon crocodile's claws. Letting out a roar, he exerted both his arms, pushing them outward, miraculously forcing the great dragon crocodile's claws apart.

The great dragon crocodile did not expect Ye Qing to be so formidable. Its strength was indeed terrifying, yet it was still pushed little by little by Ye Qing. No amount of roaring could alter this, watching helplessly as Ye Qing broke free from its claws.

Having escaped the great dragon crocodile's grasp, Ye Qing immediately grabbed the scabbard and, with a mighty leap, jumped out of the great dragon crocodile's mouth, pulling the scabbard out with him. A long wound was left inside the great dragon crocodile's mouth, blood gushing out, causing the great dragon crocodile to howl in agony again.

As soon as Ye Qing landed on the ground, the great dragon crocodile's tail immediately swept over, coiling towards him. Anticipating this move, Ye Qing sidestepped a few paces to evade the tail. Thereafter, he darted towards the great dragon crocodile once more.

The great dragon crocodile, in a frenzy, roared loudly, stretched out its claws to slap down Ye Qing, intending to crush him here. However, with the speed of the Carefree Movement and the stepping technique of the Heavenly Gangs and Northern Dipper, Ye Qing's clothes weren't even touched while he seized the opportunity to rush to its side.

"Ha!" Ye Qing shouted powerfully, leaping up and landing on the great dragon crocodile's back shell. The great dragon crocodile, in a wild rage, swept its tail horizontally and turned its head back, trying to bite Ye Qing once more.

"I've been waiting for this!" Ye Qing shouted angrily. After the dragon crocodile used this attack method thrice, he had long anticipated it. As the dragon crocodile's head stretched backward, Ye Qing also jumped forward, landing directly on the great dragon crocodile's head.

The great dragon crocodile, having reigned here for so many years, never expected anyone to dare challenge it on its own head. Ye Qing leaping onto its head left it both shocked and furious. It roared wildly, jumping around, and swept its tail once more, trying to knock Ye Qing off.
