Urban All-Round Master

”Boom!”

Taihuang Demon lightly touched the ground with her toes, soared into the air, and cleaved downward with one sword, immediately smashing Nangong Shui a dozen meters away!

The brilliant and rivalrous Sword Qi swept in all directions. Despite Nangong Shui’s utmost efforts to resist, he was still defeated. The dark War Spear in his hand shattered into dust.

”What powerful strength!” Nangong Shui staggered back dozens of steps, the ground beneath his feet cracked open, and his hands went numb. The black War Spear in his grasp was completely shattered. If Taihuang Demon wasn’t heavily injured now, affecting most of her Combat Power, this sword strike might have cost him his life.

”This Demoness is heavily injured, yet her strength is still so formidable. It truly shows the extraordinary foundation of the Taishang Sect; even so, it’s difficult to kill her,” Nangong Shui was shocked.

Seeing Nangong Shui knocked back dozens of meters, Taihuang Demon seized the moment, now was the time to press the attack. As long as she could defeat Nangong Shui, this bastard, she might leave here alive. Thinking of this, Taihuang Demon wielded the Heartless Sword once more, this time using almost all her strength.

”Nangong Shui, be careful!”

The old man roared a warning at Nangong Shui with wide-open eyes.

”Don’t clash with her head-on!”

Everyone hurried over quickly, but Taihuang Demon was too close to Nangong Shui. Even if they wanted to stop her ferocious attack, it was too late, and they couldn’t stop it in time.

”Boom!”

The fierce Sword Qi blasted towards Nangong Shui again. Forced into a corner, Nangong Shui could only brace himself, gritting his teeth to take on Taihuang Demon’s fierce sword strike.

”Pugh...” Nangong Shui spat blood from his mouth, and his body was flung into the air heavily like a kite with a broken string, then slammed into the reed bed.

Swish...

After successfully defeating Nangong Shui unobstructed, Taihuang Demon did not continue the fight but quickly fled forward with the Heartless Sword.

”Nangong Shui!”

People rushed over, thinking something might have happened to Nangong Shui.

”Damn you, you wretched Demoness!” Nangong Shui staggered up from the reeds, holding his chest, coughing blood from the corners of his mouth. His face was as white as a thin sheet of paper. Luckily, Taihuang Demon wasn’t at her peak; otherwise, he might truly be dead now.

”Don’t worry about me, hurry up and chase that Demoness!”

Nangong Shui roared painfully.

”Damn brat, I’m going to screw you a thousand times! Ten thousand times! After I’m done with you, I’ll let all my brothers from the Holy Hall have a go at you!” The handsome man was furious, truly furious, baring his teeth and eyes with cold white light chasing after Taihuang Demon like a lightning bolt.

Sky Net members failed again but launched another full-scale encirclement against Taihuang Demon.

Until they chased her into a barren deep mountain, all footsteps halted.

Rumor has it that there resides an Eastern King in this barren deep mountain! An Eastern King living in seclusion, and there’s another legend about this deep mountain.

It’s said that this place is the Demon Ancestor Cave, where the Human Race’s Demon Ancestor was buried, with an Eastern King in seclusion guarding it.

Moreover, Taihuang Demon seemed reluctant to venture further after reaching here. After all, the Demon Ancestor Cave is not a place to mess with; with a small mistake, one might lose their life here. Instead of dying in the Demon Ancestor Cave, Taihuang Demon would rather retreat and fight against the people from the Holy Hall, taking a few down with her.

”Everyone, don’t advance any further; this is the rumored Demon Ancestor Cave, don’t go in,” Zhan Long reminded the crowd.

He seemed to know a lot more about these secrets, even Jia Zhenjing didn’t know of this place’s existence.

”Demon Ancestor Cave? Damn! This is the Demon Ancestor Cave?!” The handsome man was inexplicably excited, yet also somewhat fearful. One must know the Demon Ancestor of old was comparable to Liu Shen.

And with an Eastern King guarding here, stepping in carelessly would be dying too cheaply.

”Is this the Demon Ancestor Cave?” The old man seemed to know about the Demon Ancestor Cave; he thought these were merely groundless rumors. Besides, none of them had even crossed the threshold of a Saint.

How could they know much about a figure of the Demon Ancestor’s level?

”Yes. This should be the Demon Ancestor Cave. My master once told me about it. Above the Demon Ancestor Cave, dark clouds gather without dispersing, while down below, eerie winds blow incessantly, with no grass growing within ten miles. Look, over there, the black scorched earth without a single blade of grass, that must be the Domain of the Demon Ancestor Cave,” Zhan Long pointed into the distance.

Indeed...

From the desolate reeds to this deep mountain, about three or four miles ahead, the ground truly was barren, as if every plant had ceased to grow, proving that this place was indeed no place of righteousness.

”What do we do? Taihuang Demon is just ahead; are we really going to let her escape easily today?” The handsome man was displeased. After all, it’s the Demon Ancestor Cave with a dead Demon Ancestor, not a real one, so why should they fear it?

Moreover! Even if an Eastern King is guarding, when following Lin Zifeng, haven’t they killed many Eastern Kings? Why fear this mysterious and probably nonexistent Eastern King?

”Looks like we’ll have to ask Young Lin to step up after all.” The people were silent. Though the War Blade was sharpened threateningly, the path ahead was the life-and-death filled Demon Ancestor Cave.

Unless absolutely necessary, no one dared to venture in lightly. Killing Taihuang Demon aside, they might even sacrifice so many lives.

”Damn! Such a trivial matter and we need to ask Young Lin to step in, that’s too disgraceful. If you’re scared, just wait here. I’ll go in first and take a look,”

The handsome man couldn’t wait any longer. He already had no fondness for Taihuang Demon, and now he wanted to skin her alive even more. Taihuang Demon was right before their eyes, how could he let the tiger return to the mountain easily?

”I’ll go too!” Jia Zhenjing stepped out, joining the handsome man side by side.

”Old Jia, this is no time for rashness, we must consider the bigger picture,” the old man advised calmly, pulling Jia Zhenjing back: ”Don’t act on impulse, we can hunt down this Demoness another day, no need to rush.”

”Damn it, what about the Demon Ancestor Cave? The Demon Ancestor has been dead for so long, can he really come back to life? What’s a guarding Eastern King but a useless old tale? Back in the day, I was a Semi-Saint!

Semi-Saint, ever heard of it? Just half a step away from becoming a Saint,” the handsome man boasted proudly, grinning widely.

Everyone was helpless. Seeing that persuasion was useless, they had no choice but to follow the handsome man and Jia Zhenjing towards the Demon Ancestor Cave. They were comrades who had been through life and death together, how could they let go now?

Even facing a life-and-death situation, they would face it together, handle it together...

PS: Demon Ancestor Cave, after this Chapter wraps up, I might write about the East-West war, then the Dark Prison, finally concluding with the Holy War. The Demon Ancestor of old is related to the Holy War, hence I must write this.

Of course, from 2013 to 2015, and even into 2016, it’s been four years indeed!
