The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Vajra Gate! Shi Tieshan!

“Help… help me!”

The scene was chaotic. Some civilians who were closer to the execution ground were thrown to the ground by the shockwaves from the explosions, many were frightened and began to wail in terror. They never expected that while simply watching a spectacle in Evergreen City, they would be caught in the turmoil caused by audacious robbers.

“Protect County Magistrate Li!”

A soldier clad in silver armor shouted loudly, as numerous personal guards rushed to surround Li Shou, shielding him in the center, each with uncertain expressions on their faces. For these soldiers, it was clear that those daring enough to rob an execution ground were not ordinary characters. Compared to intervening, which carried the risk of death, protecting Li Shou was clearly much safer and provided an excuse!

“Bold! How dare you rob the execution ground?”

There were soldiers who recognized this as a prime opportunity to gain merit; if they could eliminate the intruding robbers, it might be a great chance for advancement. Multiple armored soldiers charged forward to intercept the nearly ten black-clad individuals.

“Whoosh!”

The two sides clashed, weapons collided, and the sounds of battle rang out continuously, along with the sickening noise of blades tearing flesh.

“Die!”

A black-clad man with slightly white eyebrows, indicating his advanced age, shouted angrily. With a flick of his single blade, he moved like a whirlwind, ripping open a massive wound on a soldier’s chest along with his armor.

However, there were numerous soldiers guarding the execution ground, and since Li Shou feared that someone would attempt to rob the execution ground, he had chosen nearly all elite soldiers. More soldiers formed ranks, advancing like a bronze wall or an iron fortress.

The front line soldiers held their shields reverse while those behind used long spears and blades to thrust and slash through the gaps in the shields. Although the white-browed man was skilled, with considerable expertise at the Forging Bone Stage, he found himself forced to continually retreat against this united assault.”Swish!”

Two of the black-clad robbers were unfortunately pierced through their bodies by weapons thrusting out from the gaps between the shields. These soldiers were certainly not useless.

In an instant, the group of robbers was abruptly intercepted.

“Get out of my way!”

At that moment, a roar echoed like a thunderclap, overpowering the chaotic noise of the scene. The soldiers at the front all trembled simultaneously as they saw a tall, robust figure in black standing before them.

The black-clad man was over two meters tall, incredibly sturdy, with a body like a bear and a tiger’s back. Just by looking at his build, he resembled a Vajra, exuding an aura that made people tremble in fear!

“Dad, save me!”

Seeing this imposing black-clad man, the death row prisoner Shi Ying was instantly overjoyed. Even though the man had his face covered, just by his physique, Shi Ying could tell that this person was his father! Given that the man had a son like him, he hadn’t chosen to give up on him but had come to rescue him!

“Shi Tieshan! As an elder of Vajra Gate, do you not fear that breaking the law will bring disaster upon Vajra Gate?”

County Magistrate Li Shou shot up, glaring at the towering black-clad man, recognizing his identity. Shi Ying had committed rampant murder, was apprehended by the Yamen, and his crimes were unforgivable. During the interrogation, Li Shou had learned that Shi Ying was the son of an elder named Shi Tieshan.

Vajra Gate, located in Vajra Mountain, is one of the most prominent sects in Evergreen County, established for hundreds of years. Over the centuries, many notable masters have emerged from Vajra Gate, creating a distinguished status that few dare to provoke.

Although Shi Tieshan, as an elder figure, rarely descended the mountain and was not widely known, it was easy to imagine that his strength was unfathomable; otherwise, he wouldn’t hold a position among the elders of Vajra Gate!

With a heavy voice, the robust black-clad man Shi Tieshan said: “County Magistrate Li, I had already left the folds of Vajra Gate some time ago. Now, I am just a father. My son has indeed erred, but he has only killed some worthless ants. I implore you to spare his life, and I will certainly make him reflect in solitude and repent sincerely.”

Li Shou raised his eyebrows. Shi Ying had blood on his hands, having murdered dozens of people and wiped out entire families—he was irredeemably wicked. Yet, in Shi Tieshan’s words, they were merely trodden ants?

Li Shou coldly replied, “It is my duty to uphold the law—Shi Ying deserves death and must face punishment. You have dared to rob the execution ground and harmed the innocent; your crimes are even more unforgivable! Seize them all! Those who resist shall be killed without mercy!”

“Yes!”

The soldiers forming the military formation charged forward, encircling Shi Tieshan, their combined offense and defense resembling a porcupine, making it hard to find an opening.

“Then… anyone who blocks my way shall die!”

A fierce light flickered in Shi Tieshan’s eyes. His position in Vajra Gate was unique, tasked with handling the dirty work that the sect could not openly conduct. Now that he had decided to rescue his only son, he would kill anyone who stood in his way. At worst, he would become an outlaw and seek refuge with the current powerful leader of the Black Deer Army, King Huang; with his strength, he would be valued anywhere!

With the word “death” uttered, Shi Tieshan moved suddenly. With his broad hands, as wide as fans, he pushed forward with great force. In an instant, it seemed a fierce wind arose, charging powerfully toward the soldiers ahead.

“Bang!”

A dull explosion rang out, and the soldiers in the front row, who were holding their shields, felt as if ten galloping horses were rushing towards them, colliding with devastating force. That sheer might was something flesh and blood could not withstand!

“Ah!”

Amid a series of gasps and cries, several soldiers in the front row were hurled backward, lifted off the ground by the impact. Those in the rear were knocked over, groaning as they fell, many suffering broken bones and internal injuries, spitting out blood.

This scene left many spectators feeling their scalps go numb, as Shi Tieshan’s single push seemed capable of moving mountains, directly shattering the formation of soldiers!

“Are you not going to save my son?”

Shi Tieshan roared, commanding several subordinates to quickly go rescue his son.

“Yes… yes!”

Several masked figures in black hurried to take advantage of the chaos created by Shi Tieshan’s overwhelming force, rushing toward the Execution Ground.

“Quick… unbind me…”

At this moment, Shi Ying scrambled up from the ground, joy filling his face as he called out. He had been captured and sentenced to beheading, but fortunately, his father did not abandon him to his fate. With Shi Tieshan here, he was certain he would leave alive and escape this disaster.

“Stop them! Don’t protect me!”

Seeing this scene, Li Shou became extremely anxious, wishing he could go out and stop it himself. However, as the County Magistrate, he was only at the Forging Bone Stage and had merely built his strength through resources; he had no actual combat experience, being more of a scholar.

“What if Lord Li is taken advantage of by these criminals? We would never escape the blame for that!” Yet the guards around him were tightly positioned to protect Li Shou.

On one hand, they genuinely worried that if they rushed out to stop them, the criminals would seize the opportunity to attack Li Shou, putting him in danger. On the other hand, each of them could feel the immense pressure emanating from Shi Tieshan, who seemed like a titan of strength, presenting an extremely dangerous persona.

If they truly went out to intervene, they were likely to lose their own lives!
