Urban All-Round Master

With just a few slashes, the blond man was completely lifeless, his eyes rolled back like a dead dog.

”Damn! Kid, you sure are ruthless.” The handsome guy was startled, never expecting this guy to be so vicious and kill the blond man in a few moves.

”Such a person cannot be left alive. If he dares to use such shameless tactics on me, why should I show him any mercy?” The man with black hair slowly got up and rejoined the battle. Before long, those Western cultivators were utterly defeated, scattering in panic, fearing they’d get caught in the crossfire.

”Yiya yiya!”

Meanwhile, Luobo stood in front of the crowd with its little legs, hands on hips, looking dissatisfied. It wasn’t fond of violence and bloodshed.

Scenes of violence and bloodshed, in particular, made the little one quite unpleasant.

Lin Zifeng approached with a smile and picked it up.

”Thank you all.” The man with black hair stepped forward, cupped his hand in gratitude.

”No need for thanks; we are all Eastern cultivators. It’s only natural to offer a little help.” Lin Zifeng smiled.

Actually, he wanted to know about things related to the Dark Prison. Earlier, this black-haired guy spoke extensively, and he probably knew a thing or two about the Dark Prison.

Conveniently, Lin Zifeng needed this information so that entering the Dark Prison wouldn’t be too costly for him.

”I wonder if you two... are also planning to head to the entrance of the Dark Prison?” The black-haired man asked cautiously, after all, it wasn’t polite to proactively ask others. Besides, this person and animal duo were obviously not to be messed with,

Although they had defeated those Western cultivators and had the upper hand, most of the cultivators had sustained injuries.

They no longer had much combat power left. If this person and animal were to suddenly turn violent, they wouldn’t be enough to feed them.

”To be honest, we are also heading to the Dark Prison. We overheard you speaking about it just now; could you share some of the secrets?”

Lin Zifeng cupped his hands, returning the courtesy. Even if they were reluctant to answer, Lin Zifeng’s manners were fitting.

The group glanced at each other before agreeing.

”I wonder what this brother would like to ask?”

”Actually, there isn’t much; I just want to know some secrets about the Dark Prison. Earlier, I heard you mention the alliance of many heavenly-defying experts from the East who suppressed the outbreak battle of the Dark Prison a hundred years ago, and later everyone’s bodies were buried in the Dark Prison. Is there some hidden secret behind this?”

The crowd fell silent for a moment. The young man with a long spear leading the group stepped forward, wiped the white ash from his face.

He sighed and said, ”To be honest, these secrets were also told by our master, and we don’t know if they are true. But one thing I can be sure of: the disappearance of the powerful figures from the East back then is likely related to the Dark Prison.”

”Oh? Please go on.” Lin Zifeng was quite eager to hear the secret.

After all, he wasn’t very knowledgeable about the past secrets of the Great Eastern, nor were the people around him. How could they compare to the divine skills of those religions with thousands of years of heritage?

”It’s not like it’s some enormous secret. The Dark Prison has existed for almost a thousand years. A millennium ago, it appeared on both the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent, with many entrances. However, its eruption a thousand years ago caused a massive calamity for the entire Mortal World, with countless deaths.

We, the Human Race, exerted all efforts to suppress it, but the Dark Prison merely subsided for a few hundred years. Later, it reappeared every century.

Every time it reappears, whether in the East or the West, the top figures of that era mysteriously disappear. Three hundred years ago in particular, during the peak era of Eastern martial arts cultivators, the Dark Prison’s explosion saw nearly half of the heavenly-defying warriors mysteriously disappear.

Once the strong enter the Dark Prison, they never return. For the past three hundred years, the East has never been as prosperous as the West, and even now, we in the East haven’t been able to rise again.”

At this, the black-haired man couldn’t help but sigh.

”So that’s how it is.” Lin Zifeng seemed half-understanding, according to what he said, aren’t those who disappeared among the past powerful figures of the East?

No wonder encounters with those guys can still happen in the Dark Prison; it really does seem to be related to the Dark Prison somehow.

Thinking about this, Lin Zifeng began to ponder. The reappearance every few hundred years and the ensuing mysterious disappearances of top-tier fighters.

So will there be another wave of heavenly-defying experts disappearing this time when it reappears?

In this era, there aren’t many top experts in the East, but the West has produced many fierce fighters.

The current entrance of the Dark Prison is in the West, which most likely means that this time around, a significant number of powerful individuals might once again disappear.

The handsome guy, after hearing this secret, also looked very serious and murmured in a low voice, ”Born in the wrong era!”

Indeed, it was a chaotic era, and with the Dark Prison reappearing in the world, there are bound to be great calamities occurring, with numerous top-level super experts sure to fall in this catastrophe.

”Well, since I’ve gotten what I wanted, I’ll bid you farewell.” Lin Zifeng cupped his hands and smiled slightly.

With the handsome guy, they moved toward the depths of the dense forest.

”Lin kid, from what that guy said, is this another great calamity?”

”Hard to say; it fits your words that we might indeed be born in the wrong era.” Lin Zifeng chuckled because his father, successful in the Demon Nature Holy War, went deep into the Dark Prison. They certainly will enter as well; no one knows how many layers there are in the Dark Prison, rumored to be eighteen.

The last time they were in the Dark Prison, they didn’t even get through ten layers. The deeper they went, the more dangerous it became!

The encountered kings were boundlessly powerful.

Now Lin Zifeng is contemplating, what kind of heavenly-defying level expert created this Dark Prison?

The Dark Prison must have an origin, right? How could it have appeared for no reason?

No matter how much Lin Zifeng thinks now, he can’t figure too much out. After all, many things need him to personally experience them; without experiencing, one would never understand the wonders of this vast world.

”Kid, don’t overthink it. No matter what dangers we face, I’ll be with you. I’ll risk my life if I have to. I’ve lived long enough to grow weary. I’m ready to taste what life is at its end.”

The handsome guy gave a human-like smile to encourage Lin Zifeng.

”Yiya yiya.”

The little guy Luobo seemed to understand the difficulties Lin Zifeng and the others were facing, raising its little paw on his shoulder to show its support...
