Urban All-Round Master

With a light chuckle, Lin Zifeng tightly clenched his fists, a sound of explosion from his bones mixed with his low shout, simultaneously transmitting into Dongka’s ears: Charge!

”Whoosh...”

Originally leaning against a large tree waiting for the Blood Shadow Dark Guard exchange, one could only feel a sharp gust of wind sweeping past, and their view was fixed on the slightly dim sky.

A distance of a thousand meters, the two ran at full speed and passed in just three seconds, like wolves into a sheepfold, Dongka’s handsome face devoid of emotion, his sword fell, and bright red blood flowers dyed his snow-white robe horrifically.

Dongka was such, Lin Zifeng did not fall behind. Though weaponless, he attacked like lightning, a lingering shadow swept by, followed by the crisp sound of a throat bone shattering, detonating here.

In merely three breaths, the dozen Blood Shadow Dark Guards who had leaned against the tree were reduced to one standing before them, his eyes under the mask filled with fear yet unable to mask the dying frenzy!

”You... you are Lord Dongka, you’ve betrayed the Venerable’s will, intruded into the forbidden area, you’ll all be punished!”

Before the words fell, the captain suddenly pulled out a dark red jade from his bosom, Dongka saw it, exclaimed, and before the man could crush it, his longsword flashed coldly, piercing through his throat.

”Hehe... the Venerables won’t spare you.”

”Thud.”

The guard’s eyes filled with unwillingness and pain slowly faded away, soon turned lifeless.

”Phew... luckily, he didn’t crush it, otherwise we would be in trouble,” Dongka sighed heavily, sheathed his longsword, wiped the bloodstains off his face, and glanced down at the dozen bodies. If the opponent had crushed the thing, they would be in trouble. Though he wasn’t afraid of trouble, now was not the time to reveal himself, it might cause unnecessary trouble and conflict, making the situation difficult to resolve.

”If guessed correctly, this jade should be used to alert the Five Supreme Venerables in emergencies,” Lin Zifeng spoke while slowly bending down to pick up the jade from the ground, feeling its cold texture.

”You’re right, they’ve named this jade Blood Shadow Stone, once crushed, the Five Supreme Venerables in secluded cultivation could sense it.” Dongka’s star-like eyes scanned around coldly like eternal ice, sighed deeply, ”Considering the time, roughly another hour or so and the exchange party will arrive, what should we do?”

An hour...

Not knowing how long it would take to enter the forest this time, the two had to wait for the Blood Shadow Dark Guard exchange party to arrive. Without saying more, the two Saint Realm experts’ strength once again stirred up a bloody storm before stopping.

Due to the delay, the night had completely fallen by now. The originally charred forest appeared more mysterious under the moonlight since another troop of Blood Shadow Dark Guards would come by morning, the two dared not linger and hurriedly ran into the forest.

Just a few steps out, the smile on Lin Zifeng’s face suddenly froze, his steps suddenly halted, turning around with a solemn look towards the deep to the right.

As if trying to see through the darkness, Lin Zifeng’s eyes burst out two substantial beams, but the aura of a Saint Realm expert around him was completely concealed.

”Hide your aura, a thousand meters ahead, there’s someone in Sub-Saint Realm Ninth Layer, they can sense us.”

Upon hearing Lin Zifeng’s serious tone, Dongka hesitated not, hurriedly concealed himself, frowned and looked towards the darkness where Lin Zifeng was gazing.

A thousand meters away, Sub-Saint Realm Ninth Layer... why can’t I sense it?

Dongka doubted himself, meanwhile, his respect for Lin Zifeng deepened, in terms of perception ability, the other was indeed far better.

”Sub-Saint Realm Ninth Layer Heaven, a master with one foot in Saint Realm, why would they be here, could it be there’s another secret?”

The moonlit forest was unusually quiet, even devoid of bird and beast calls, Lin Zifeng feared being discovered and suppressed his voice to mosquito level, just enough for Dongka beside him to hear.

With a frown, Dongka was equally bewildered. He had secretly investigated the mysterious Blood Shadow Dark Guard before. Twice a day changes, only a Sub-Saint Realm First Layer captain and a dozen soldiers usually.

Yet unexpectedly, deep within this forest, there was a Sub-Saint Realm Ninth Layer expert, always guarding.

Dongka’s heart filled with shock at the thought, an expert of Sub-Saint Realm Ninth Layer was stronger than Xiluo and Nantong among Four Supreme Lords. Such personage, the Five Supreme Venerables could secretly train undetected, who knows how many other secrets they’ve hidden!

After a silent moment, Lin Zifeng broke the silence with a gentle voice: ”What to do, Sub-Saint Realm Ninth Layer Heaven, I dare not guarantee a one-hit kill, if they crush the Blood Shadow Stone, and the Five Supreme Venerables come, it’ll be trouble.”

Pondering, Dongka couldn’t think of a plan, Lin Zifeng lowered his gaze, narrowed his eyes, and started thinking.

A place guarded by a Sub-Saint Realm Ninth Layer Heaven isn’t merely an abandoned site due to Thunder Tribulation. Perhaps, there’s a secret of the Five Supreme Venerables within.

As for what secret, Lin Zifeng couldn’t guess, only seeing for himself would tell. But the several breaths sensed from thousand meters made it difficult for him.

One-hit kill was merely to assure Dongka, if he unleashed his Space Gravity Ability, they were just lambs to the slaughter.

However, exerting Gravity to prevent the Sub-Saint Realm Ninth Layer from retrieving and crushing a jade, meant he’d struggle to kill them.

If they feared defeat, went all out, Lin Zifeng couldn’t guarantee no mistakes, especially when life was at stake.

His only reliance was Dongka’s sharp swordsmanship, capable of slaying them before they react.

With a sigh, Lin Zifeng turned around, his words were light but tinged with seriousness that startled even Dongka: ”Lord Dongka, over this time together, I, Lin Zifeng believe, we somewhat trust each other.”

”I can only assure you that I can suppress them for roughly three seconds, once they react, if aware of defeat and crush the Blood Shadow Stone, I assume you understand the consequences, no need for me to elaborate.”

By this point, Lin Zifeng wasn’t fully trusting of Dongka. Not for any fault of the latter, but life’s experiences kept him wary.

Using Gravity, if Dongka were to betray and stab him in the back, it’d cost Lin Zifeng his life.
