Urban All-Round Master

Whoosh!

The arrow flashed across the sky, aimed directly at the elder guarding the Demon Ancestor Cave. The power of this arrow was immense, almost containing all the strength of Zhan Long. Although he knew deep down this arrow might not truly kill the elder, at the very least it could injure him and affect his combat power, marking a step toward success.

Facing the might of the arrow, coupled with the assault from Zifeng and Jia Zhenjing’s experts, the elder scoffed, opened his arms, and then clapped his hands together, slicing downward. Instantly, the palms wielded a chill light, blazing like fire, shaped like a fierce dragon.

Boom!

War Arrow reached its target, clashing furiously with the dragon-shaped fire beam, erupting into an intense, blazing radiance.

The blazing light enveloped the sky, illuminating it like an infernal sea; fire dragons roamed and devoured endlessly, leaving a breathtaking impression!

Next, the guardian elder soared into the sky, a tempest beneath his feet, leaving a long trail of blue light behind him. He shouted, and a powerful purple Copper Mace appeared in his palm, vibrating with intense energy.

"Holy Artifact!"

Nangong Shui gazed at the sky, instantly recognizing the purple Copper Mace in the elder’s palm. Though it seemed ordinary, it radiated purplish light like purple lightning, slicing through the void with ease, and the sparks it generated were awe-inspiring like a Barbaric Dragon!

"Middle Grade Holy Artifact, what a treasure." Zifeng was envious, his eyes almost twinkling with stars. Although this purple Copper Mace couldn’t rival the Heavenly Painting Halberd in Lin Zifeng’s possession, it was still a Middle Grade Holy Artifact.

Bear in mind that Holy Artifacts are rare items, and anyone capable of forging one is a Great Power Saint. To obtain such an artifact is to have the protection of a Saint by your side; it’s incredible.

"Damn it, this thing isn’t bad at all. Too bad we aren’t here for this treasure today. Otherwise, I’d definitely snatch that purple Copper Mace from his hands."

The old guy’s eyes gleamed with greed. Holding a Holy Artifact meant having the protection of a Saint by your side. In a life-or-death battle, it was akin to having an almighty amulet, which was immensely powerful.

But currently, the elder guarding the Demon Ancestor Cave had no deep enmity with them. If they insisted on taking the purple Mace from his hands, it would indeed become a life-and-death struggle, a true mortal combat.

"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."

Meanwhile, Zhan Long continued to operate the Heavenly Battle Bow, firing Iron Arrows continuously. However, the arrows now lacked the power of the initial one as Zhan Long had already expended much energy on the first shot. Subsequent arrows were weakened by fatigue.

The Heavenly Battle Bow was a Lower Middle Grade Holy Artifact, and a cultivator like Zhan Long, who hadn’t reached the Saint Realm, found it difficult to unleash the bow’s full strength.

Moreover, Holy Artifacts demand a lot from the cultivator, heavily depleting Primordial Energy. After firing the first arrow, it was evident that Zhan Long’s Elemental Power couldn’t keep up, turning his face red, and his arm trembled. Eventually, he hesitated to string the last arrow on the bow...

The aerial battle grew perilous, as the numerous Holy Hall experts struggled to truly suppress the guardian elder. Gradually, the elder seemed to be gaining the upper hand.

"Damn! This old man has some skills, and with a Holy Artifact in hand, what’s the point of fighting?"

Even though they also possessed Holy Artifacts, they were weaker compared to the Eastern King-like guardian elder. The Holy Artifacts in their hands couldn’t be fully activated, which was truly a deadly rhythm.

Bang!

Suddenly...

A fierce noise erupted from the depths of the Demon Ancestor Cave, continuously rumbling, shocking everyone. Could it be that a supreme treasure had descended, or was the cave filled with unknown dangers?

"Not good!"

The guardian elder raised his eyebrows, seemingly aware of the developments inside. He abruptly turned away from the others and quickly headed inwards.

He suspected that it might be the Taihuang Demon causing trouble deep inside. If so, it was imperative to escort the beast out of the cave before others got involved.

The elder’s family had guarded this cave for generations, spanning a thousand years. After a millennium, it was said that a newly born Demon Ancestor would appear. If influenced by the Taihuang Demon, destroying a thousand years of waiting and guardianship, it would push the guardian elder to desperation.

The elder blamed himself for being too careless, not expecting the young girl from the Taishang Sect to ignore his warnings about venturing deeper into the cave...

Meanwhile, the Taihuang Demon launched another attack, realizing in surprise that the black-furred monster was afraid of sunlight!

An area of swamp was situated a hundred meters outside the cave, shrouded in fog, blocking sunlight. However, the environment within a hundred meters of the cave entrance was illuminated by sunlight.

Earlier, she attempted to lure the black-furred creature, realizing that after moving about fifty meters from the cave entrance, it retreated back in, sensitive to sunlight. This new information gave Taihuang Demon renewed hope.

In nature, everything—live or inanimate—has its weakness, and this black-furred monster was no exception. Since it feared light, Taihuang Demon aimed to force it out of the cave and kill it.

"Roar roar roar..."

The black-furred monster hid under the cover at the cave entrance, afraid to emerge. Though it briefly endured sunlight, prolonged exposure would be fatal.

"What’s wrong? Afraid to come out? I’ll force you out then!" Taihuang Demon sneered, sweeping her Love Sword to shatter the branches, weeds, and shrubs at the cave entrance into bits, intimidating the black-furred monster into retreating further.

Drink!

Simultaneously, Taihuang Demon took advantage of the monster’s delay outside the cave, enticing it with her presence.

The monster saw Taihuang Demon approaching, baring its fangs to defend, but she targeting the interior of the cave.

The monster rejoiced, realizing its opportunity as she ventured deeper; only then did it have the absolute chance to kill her.

Not hindering her entry into the cave, Taihuang Demon reached near the entrance. She swung her sword, unleashing dazzling Sword Qi, shattering rocks above the cave entrance, sealing it completely.

"Humph, let’s see where you hide now." Taihuang Demon sneered.

Roar!

The monster suddenly understood Taihuang Demon’s plan: to bury the entrance and prevent it from regaining the cave depths, infuriating it.

"Prepare to die!"

Taihuang Demon relentlessly swung her sword, the Sword Qi vanquishing all obstacles above the cave entrance, overpowering everything under her mighty Elemental Power...
