Chapter 1865 - 1865: Return of the Bloody Monk (Part 2)

The few people inside the room simultaneously turned their heads to look; the voice came from a long distance away. After a while, the Bloody Monk finally walked in through the doorway, accompanied by a man covered in blood, who was indeed the White-haired Ding San.The appearance of the White-haired Ding San seemed much older than before, but it was evident that his strength had significantly increased. Judging by his appearance, it seemed he hadn't stopped killing people these past few days, which was why his power had rapidly grown.

"Are you the Bloody Monk?" Fu Qingping slightly furrowed his brow, as he had heard the name before. In truth, the name Bloody Monk was not as renowned as Wolf Monk.

The name Bloody Monk began to resound after he single-handedly slaughtered Xiao Lin Temple. Following its downfall, he created the Sha Men, battled heroes across the world, and especially this latest re-emergence, where he fought evenly against the Five Unmatches of the World, making his name even more prominent. More than thirty years ago, before he decimated Xiao Lin Temple, he had no notable name in Jianghu. People knew of him mainly because he was Shijia's junior disciple; he hadn't accomplished anything significant.

"Qingping Swordsman!" The Bloody Monk stared at Fu Qingping for a moment and said, "I have heard your name, and I never expected that after so many years, I would see you in person!"

Fu Qingping responded, "I have also heard your name, and even more so, I didn't expect that the Xiao Lin Temple, with thousands of years of heritage, would be destroyed by your hand."

The Bloody Monk replied, "I didn't expect Xiao Lin Temple would be obliterated by me either."

Fu Qingping couldn't help but smile and said, "You are quite an interesting person."

With a calm expression, the Bloody Monk glanced at the Wolf Monk standing beside him and said, "I've only heard of the Qingping Swordsman's strength in the past. Tonight, however, I have witnessed the true power of the Qingping Swordsman. Without drawing your sword, you could repel my junior disciple. If you were to draw your sword, how many peak masters could withstand your Life-Seizing Sword Technique?"

It seemed that he knew about the prior confrontation between the Wolf Monk and Fu Qingping. How did he know about this?

"I will only draw my Qingping Sword against those who deserve to die." Fu Qingping looked at the Bloody Monk and laughed, "I have no grievances or connections with Xiao Lin Temple, so naturally, I wouldn't draw my sword against their people."

Fu Qingping's words were quite clear; he meant that without any enmity or hatred, he certainly wouldn't engage in combat with you.

Upon hearing this, Helian Tiehua noticeably relaxed. He knew the Bloody Monk's character well; he would engage in a fight with someone for the slightest disagreement. Earlier, when the Qingping Swordsman asked about the Bloody Monk's affairs, he thought Fu Qingping was preparing to investigate the matter. Fortunately, Fu Qingping had no intention to meddle in Xiao Lin Temple's affairs, so a fight would not ensue, which was for the best.

Fu Qingping's words also alleviated much of the Bloody Monk's hostility toward him. He turned to the Wolf Monk beside him and said, "I just saw the Sha Men members, and they were all severely injured. This Executioner Scholar, I must meet him in person. Junior brother, you will come with me!"

"Alright!" Without saying a word, the Wolf Monk stood up, not caring at all about the earlier ambush by those four people.

Helian Tiehua had been waiting for the Bloody Monk to return to discuss dealing with those four individuals. Unexpectedly, the Bloody Monk returned quickly, and his first action was to seek revenge on the four. This certainly was prompt and decisive, but it also suited the Bloody Monk's usual method of doing things: revenge that could be sought today would never be delayed until tomorrow.

"Blood Robe Sect Leader, I will go with you!" Helian Tiehua also stood up and turned to look at Fu Qingping beside him.

The three of them combined were three peak masters. However, the other side had four peak masters, so fighting them would still be challenging. If Fu Qingping was willing to help, it would be a four-on-four situation, making the battle a bit easier.

"Hahaha, this Qingping Sword hasn't been drawn for many years, and I don't know if it's still as sharp." Fu Qingping stood up with a hearty laugh and said loudly, "I can just use these four people to test the effectiveness of the Qingping Sword in my hand!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Tiehua was overjoyed and quickly said, "With Uncle Fu's help, we are sure to win against these four today!"

Fu Qingping smiled faintly and said, "As the saying goes, the Yangtze River's waves push forward the waves before them. This old body of mine is not what it used to be. Now it's the young people's world; I'm just going to lend a bit of help."

"Uncle Fu, you're too kind." Helian Tiehua laughed and said, "If Uncle Fu's Qingping Sword is drawn, those Four Great Villains will have no possibility of escape. These four have committed countless crimes of murder, arson, and looting, and they truly deserve death. If we can kill them today, it would certainly be doing a service to the people!"

"Doing a service to the people is indeed a good deed." Fu Qingping laughed heartily, stroking his sword as he followed everyone out the door, driving away from the estate.

Ye Qing also followed them out, although he had the power of the Buddha's Relic and the Devouring Demon Flower to protect him, these powers were beyond his control. Previously, it was only due to stimulation by demonic power that the Buddha's Relic's strength manifested against the enemy. What if the opponent next time wasn't from the Demon Sect? Although he wouldn't be killed, being captured would also be a troublesome matter. Therefore, staying in the estate was somewhat dangerous for him. It was better to follow these four and watch the battle.

Just as they drove to the estate's entrance, several cars drove towards them from outside in a hurry, almost colliding with their vehicle.

Helian Tiehua frowned slightly, blocked by these cars, he had to get out of the vehicle. At this time, several people got out of those cars and, upon seeing Helian Tiehua, rushed over and shouted, "Great General, it's bad, our brothers have been attacked!"

As they spoke, a few injured individuals were being lifted out of the cars, clearly seriously wounded, obviously by experts.

Seeing these injured people, Helian Tiehua could basically guess who did it. Aside from those Four Great Villains, who else would do such a thing?

Helian Tiehua already loathed these Four Great Villains to the extreme, and now they had injured his subordinates, making him even angrier. He instructed his men to send the injured to Bai Li Xi, and then left the estate with everyone to pursue the Four Great Villains.

Ye Qing sat in the car, watching the injured being carried into the yard, feeling very awkward. He understood that these repeated attacks by the Four Great Villains on the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance were intended to pressure Helian Tiehua into handing him over. However, Helian Tiehua was extremely loyal, even when many members of the Seven Steering Committees were ambushed, he fully protected Ye Qing. This made Ye Qing feel both touched and very guilty.

If he hadn't stayed with the Seven Steering Committees, or hadn't been under their protection, these people wouldn't have attacked them, and Helian Tiehua's subordinates wouldn't have been hurt so frequently. All in all, this matter started because of him, prompting Ye Qing to consider leaving again. If he stayed any longer, there might be more casualties among the Seven Steering Committees.

Shenchuan City was almost entirely occupied by the people of the Seven Steering Committees, so it wasn't difficult for Helian Tiehua to learn the whereabouts of the Four Great Villains. Based on his subordinates' reports, he pursued them out of Shenchuan City, arriving at an abandoned pasture in the Southern Suburb.

Ye Qing had been to this pasture before; it was the place he first came across in Shenchuan City, where Boss Lin hid drugs and people. After that incident, the pasture was abandoned. Many people had died there, so no one wanted to take it over, and the villagers around were afraid to approach it. Especially at night, it was particularly quiet, with few people venturing there. Who could have guessed that the Four Great Villains would hide there?

However, with Snake Gentleman having brought so many snakes, he had to find a deserted place to hide them. The pasture, with tens of miles around without a soul, was the perfect spot for hiding the snake throng.

The vehicles stopped near this pasture, and as Helian Tiehua instructed people to get out of the cars, he whispered, "With Snake Gentleman among them, there must be a snake group hidden here, everyone be wary of his venomous snakes."

Fu Qingping smiled lightly and said, "It's fine, those little serpents can't hurt me!"

Bloody Monk didn't even speak a word, as he was accompanied by White-haired Ding San. White-haired Ding San was silent, following Bloody Monk like a puppet.

They disembarked from the car and split into two groups, surrounding the ranch house from two directions. About twenty meters from the yard, Fu Qingping was the first to leap forward, covering a distance of five to six meters, charging straight for the yard.

"Who goes there!" At this moment, an angry shout came from within the estate, which Ye Qing heard clearly as the voice of Executioner Scholar. Considering his tone, he wasn't even aware of the attack, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

"Executioner Scholar, long time no see!" Fu Qingping's voice boomed like a great bell, making Ye Qing's eardrums buzz from inside the car. Even at his advanced age, Fu Qingping's inner strength was incredibly abundant, with his voice having such power.

"You... you are Fu Qingping!?" Executioner Scholar's voice carried a clear tremor: "Second Brother said he saw you, I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true. Fu Qingping, you didn't die!"

"Indeed, I haven't died, but you are likely to die." As Fu Qingping spoke, he rushed into the yard, laughing, "I tried several times to kill you in the past but couldn't find the chance. Today, let's see where you can run!"
