Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1924 - 1914: Lin Zifeng Enters the West

"My life is in your hands now. Unless I die, don’t even think about getting my sword!" The Taihuang Demon, her forehead drenched in sweat, gritted her teeth with great difficulty. She wanted to stand, but her limbs were soft and devoid of any strength. The power from the opponent’s demon pattern was indeed overwhelming. Although most of the power was blocked by the Heartless and Love Swords, some still reached her.The Taihuang Demon still couldn’t understand how Nangong Bing’s cultivation could have increased to this realm. She recalled that back at Wolong Mountain, Nangong Bing was certainly formidable, but not to the extent where she couldn’t contend with him. Now he could completely control her life and death.

However—Nangong Bing’s cold, indifferent eyes exuded chilliness, saying nothing. He walked step by step towards the Taihuang Demon. Each step was like an iron hammer striking deep within the Taihuang Demon’s heart. At this moment, her eyes turned extremely crimson, her delicate body trembling slightly. Inside her, a giant beast seemed to be lurking, ready to burst forth at any moment.

"Ha! Ten years of waiting turned futile, a moment of heartbreak into a dreamy return. Nothing more than this. Haha, nothing more than this!"

Suddenly, the Taihuang Demon slowly climbed from the ground, laughing bitterly towards the sky as if recalling painful memories. Now, the Taihuang Demon was pushed to the brink by Nangong Bing. She faced only two paths: either keep hold of the memory of that man or sever the ties of love, achieving supreme heartlessness, lovelessness, forgetfulness. But how could ten years of love be severed so easily?

"Can I really achieve heartlessness, lovelessness, and forgetfulness like the Sect Hierarch?" At this moment, the Taihuang Demon was dazed, her eyes filled with endless bitterness. Because in her heart lived a man—the man she loved dearly ten years ago. She waited ten years for one mere word from him! Yet, her despairing wait turned futile. That man had already married another woman. This was the catastrophe within the Taihuang Demon’s inner world.

For the Taihuang Demon, a generation’s demoness, she was the strongest Sub-Saint, with potential soaring towards Supreme Emperor levels. However, the cultivation system of Taishang Sect was focused on supreme forgetfulness. Her ten years of longing had hindered her progress over the years. The Supreme Emperor once told her that once she severed the ten years of longing, her potential would explode unimaginably.

However—ten years of waiting; could she let go? No! She couldn’t let go because the man lived within her heart. Even on the brink of life and death, her mind still lingered on the merciless man. If it weren’t for his presence in her heart, the Taihuang Demon would’ve severed the ten years of longing long ago, achieving much more than now. Otherwise, how could she be known as a generation’s demoness, the Taihuang Demon?

This was why there had only been two figures throughout the generations of Taishang Sect. Because once the Taihuang Demon severed her longing, her potential would become the second Supreme Emperor!

Now, faced with life and death, the Taihuang Demon’s eyes were filled with endless bitterness, devoid of any other emotion. The enduring longing needed a choice at this moment. Once severed, she could survive. If the longing still clung to the merciless man, today she would inevitably die. Even the Taishang Sect’s treasure—the Heartless and Love Swords—would be lost to the opponent.

Was there something more she could do? Did she have a trick up her sleeve?

Nangong Bing pressed on with every step, noticing the Taihuang Demon’s change in demeanor and appearance, especially her eyes, deeply hollow and blank, conveying unfathomable emotion. Could it be the Taihuang Demon had another self-saving method?

"Aah!!!" Suddenly, the Taihuang Demon spread her arms, raised her head, and let out a long, hoarse cry to the sky. Instantly, an exceptionally powerful aura swept over everything, a chaotic energy exploding within hundreds of meters in radius! Even Nangong Bing was enveloped within her energy burst!

"Want to take my dual swords? You’ll need to prove if you’re capable!" Abruptly, the Taihuang Demon’s eyes burned with fierce radiance, murderous intent soaring around her. Grasping her dual swords with both hands, her white garment fluttered, momentum rising steeply. Her aura was even comparable to Nangong Bing’s.

On the brink of life and death, she adhered to the Supreme Emperor’s teachings, severing ten years of longing, becoming a true Heartless, Loveless, Forgotten Holy Daughter. To sever her longing, her desolate heart had struggled for countless times. At the moment of her outburst, two crystalline tears of forgetfulness glistened at the corners of her eyes.

"Boom!" The demon pattern collided with the war swords in Taihuang Demon’s hands, energy converging. Though she severed ten years of longing, she couldn’t withstand the power of Nangong Bing’s demon pattern. White brilliance crashed against dozens of trees, halting her from being blown away.

Swish~

Nangong Bing quickly moved forward, but the Taihuang Demon had already vanished into the woods.

"Leaving this easily, isn’t it too cheap, isn’t it?" Nangong Bing didn’t intend to let the Taihuang Demon go, leaving a shadow in place, chasing after her swiftly. With her longing severed, her cultivation realm soared, jumping from the Fifth Layer Heaven directly to the Seventh Layer Heaven! Achieving such a feat before thirty was truly remarkable. However, the opponent she faced today was no ordinary person but the first demon cultivator in a millennium, unmatched in battle power. Defeating the opponent was indeed extremely difficult.

Elsewhere, Lin Zifeng and the handsome man traveled towards Greece. In less than half a day, they successfully entered the Western World. Along the journey, Lin Zifeng found himself captivated by Western culture. Previously, when overseas, he held a slight admiration for the true West, visiting a few times but only passing through. He hadn’t ventured this freely until now.

Western civilization contrasted greatly with Eastern civilization. After entering the West, they arrived at a relatively impoverished town. Yet Lin Zifeng quite liked the customs and social atmosphere. If he could manage his affairs in the future, living in such a place would truly be wonderful, Lin Zifeng thought.

"Dead Dog, how much longer until we reach Greece Wilderness?" Lin Zifeng couldn’t help but ask.

"Don’t be impatient, we’re not far from Greece." The handsome man’s head tilted, speaking with some annoyance. Throughout the journey, Lin Zifeng repeatedly inquired about the Greece Wilderness. Initially uninterested in Western culture, the handsome man detested questions probing his weaknesses. Though he had lived in the wilderness for many years, truthfully, he was almost a cultural illiterate regarding it.
