Urban All-Round Master

”Hmm?!”

At this moment, Lin Zifeng suddenly sensed that something around them had been watching them intently. The aura was extremely strong, and the Magic Bracelet was pulsing frequently. Lin Zifeng guessed that there were experts following them.

”Boss, please wait here for a moment. I’ll be right back. Whatever you do, don’t leave.” Lin Zifeng turned back to grab the oblivious Nangong Bing who continued to wander around leisurely.

”What’s the matter?” Nangong Bing furrowed her brows, eating happily. Clearly, she hadn’t noticed anything amiss.

”It’s nothing. I’m just going to buy a pack of cigarettes. I’ll be back shortly.” Lin Zifeng smiled slightly, gently patted the back of her hand three times to signal her, then turned and disappeared into the crowd.

As expected...

Not even a few minutes after Lin Zifeng left, two men and a woman dressed in suits emerged from the crowd, their target fixed on Nangong Bing as they slowly approached.

”Miss Nangong, Young Master Lin had to leave for a matter. He asked us to let you know. We’re responsible for bringing you back.”

The trio approached Nangong Bing, and she seemed somewhat confused. She wasn’t a foolish woman; when Lin Zifeng left earlier, he had lightly patted her hand three times, and the meaning was very clear.

”When did he leave? And when did you arrive?” Nangong Bing held two skewers of grilled meat, eating happily but somewhat disappointed as she hadn’t had enough yet.

”Miss Nangong, there’s no need for you to worry about this. Young Master Lin has always handled things with a mysterious style. We hope you can cooperate with our work.” Saying this, without waiting for Nangong Bing to further inquire, the two men directly grabbed Nangong Bing’s arms and quickly led her to a dark alley outside the crowd.

”Hey, hey, hey, you haven’t even figured things out, is this how you treat me?” Nangong Bing’s eyes widened. She wanted to resist, but unfortunately, her limbs were completely restrained, and she couldn’t break free.

”Miss Nangong, we want to know if there’s anything unusual about you?”

Entering the dark alleyway, the two men pushed Nangong Bing into a cold path corner.

The two stood in front of her, looking tense, while the woman was stationed at the entrance to keep watch.

”Who are you people? What do you want to do to me!”

Nangong Bing realized she had already fallen into someone else’s trap. The intentions were clear as malice gleamed in their eyes.

”You have no choice now. Tell us, what exactly happened to you? And is there anything unusual on you?” The two asked very directly.

At that moment, the first thought that came to Nangong Bing’s mind was her Star Ring. After all, the most valuable thing on her was the Star Ring.

”Sorry, I have no reason to answer your questions.” Suddenly, Nangong Bing’s eyes sparkled with brilliance. She raised her hand and thrust the two skewers of grilled meat toward the men’s eyes.

Swish!

Their figures moved like the wind, sidestepping several steps away quickly.

”What!”

Nangong Bing was taken aback; their movement speed was surprisingly fast. After all, she was no longer an ordinary person. Her cultivation had some merit. Plus, with the transformation from the Star Ring, it wasn’t easy for ordinary people to approach her.

”Miss Nangong, do not force us to take action!”

One person’s cold eyes emitted a strong killing aura. These three were Sub-Saints from different sects, with exceptional strength. They had spent considerable effort finding Nangong Bing.

The anomaly Nangong Bing showcased at Wolong Mountain in Yanjing had already drawn attention from many major sects. Because of that opportunity, the change made Nangong Bing a focus of many eyes.

Lin Zifeng’s prowess came from the Heavenly Painting Halberd.

But the greatest anomaly was Nangong Bing, a seemingly weak woman who suddenly became unrivaledly powerful. Even the Taihuang Demon dared not challenge her. One can imagine what secrets Nangong Bing held.

”Who are you people, and why are you capturing me?” Nangong Bing still didn’t understand her role and value.

”Cut the crap, Nangong Bing. We’ve investigated your background and information. We suspect you possess some treasure. Hand it over, and we may spare your life!”

”Treasure? I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Nangong Bing flatly denied it. The greatest treasure was the Star Ring. But how did they know about the treasure on her?

”Then don’t blame us.”

At these words, one of the men, looking extraordinary, took the lead, spreading his fingers like a Barbaric Dragon and aiming directly at Nangong Bing’s forehead.

”Since we can’t find the item we want, we’ll take your body instead~”

”Then you better be ready to die!” In that critical moment, Nangong Bing maintained a subtle connection with the Star Ring. Suddenly! She jerked up her head, eyes turning blood-red, and a complicated and enigmatic Demon Pattern appeared at the center of her forehead, pulsating.

When the man was about to grab her, Nangong Bing swiftly stepped back, as chains of Demon Pattern symbols, exceedingly mystical, appeared between her hands.

By this moment, Nangong Bing could already control her transformation ability on her own.

”Demonization!”

”Demonization!”

Both exclaimed in horror. Their eyes locked in terrified uncertainty. The next moment, they felt an intense, murderous aura spreading like a tide.

”Damn! She’s able to control her demonization ability on her own!”

One exclaimed in shock.

”Throughout Huaxia’s five thousand years of history, only two Demon Cultivators have appeared. It seems, with this woman, a stormy era has begun, and the new era will surely change because of her!”

”This is the third Demon Cultivator in five thousand years in Huaxia. If this woman isn’t stopped, the world will be in chaos!!”

Another middle-aged man looked up and let out a long howl, his voice filled with grief, even stronger was the fear for the world’s people, as if Nangong Bing’s demonic transformation was heralding the end of the world.

Swish!

Puff, puff...

As soon as their words fell, two streams of crimson blood splattered into the air. The two were sliced in half by a mysterious and complicated Demon Pattern!

Blood sprayed high into the sky, and they had no power to resist, falling dead directly...

When the female Sub-Saint keeping watch heard the long howl, she turned around, only to be startled by a mysterious man suddenly appearing behind her, sending cold sweat dripping down her back.

”Who is it!”

As she retreated, her back was soaked with cold sweat. The opponent appeared silently behind her—any fool would know that the opponent’s cultivation far exceeded her own.

”The one who kills you.” As soon as the voice fell, swish, swish, swish... As afterimages danced, the Gray Dragon Hand clamped directly onto the middle-aged woman’s neck. She wanted to fight back, but all her Primordial Energy was out of her control. Finally, with unwilling eyes, she was strangled to death.

After obtaining a fresh Elemental Power Seed, Lin Zifeng quickly ran towards Nangong Bing.

Instead of calling it leading the tiger away from the mountain, it might be better to say that Lin Zifeng was helping them lead the tiger away...

(Second update of the morning. Just to note, Nangong Bing is indeed very mysterious. It’s the power of the Divine Artifact, the Star Ring. Later, you’ll witness the charm of our book’s first female protagonist.)
