Dark green Demon Aura had been overcast, engulfing the entire Guo City sky like thick clouds. The aura flowed like a green liquid due to its corrosive nature, burning everything on its way while producing sizzling sounds. The light shield made by an inscription formation that had protected Guo City for thousands of years began to debilitate under the corrosion. It was as if it would collapse at any time.

A huge demon of mysterious shape was looming in the midst of the green Demon Aura. Its four massive and bloodshot eyes emitted red light like sword radiance which bombarded the city’s light shield.

“That’s… How is that possible? A monster with a Demon Royal cultivation. Oh my God, Guo City is in danger!”

Master Wu’s mind went blank.

How could there be such a powerful demon?

Zhu Hong was also scared out of his wits. “That is…”

That terrifying demon was definitely a nightmare for the city.

The inscription shield would be destroyed if they continued to attack like that; once it was compromised, the demon clan would swarm into the city and turn that thousand-year-old place into a living hell overnight. Humans would not be able to compete with them in number.

Screams could be heard everywhere.

Several bright lights rose into the sky towards the demons. They were experts at the peak of the Martial King realm, the strongest guardians in the city. Using all the precious weapons in the city, they activated a power several times of their own, trying to defeat that ferocious demon.

Everyone held their breath.

But the fight didn’t take long.

The guardians were sent back by blows as soon as they reached the sky, with blood spurting out of their mouths.

“Oh no…” Both Master Wu and Zhu Hong turned pale.

The people in the city who watched the fights unfold were shocked. Their hearts sank as if they had fallen into an abyss.

The greatest calamity was about to happen.

But right at that moment…

Someone shouted, “Evil monster!”

“Swoosh!”

A bright sword light rose to the sky from the Earth Tiger Inn, instantly disappearing into the ghastly green Demon Aura.

Like a pair of god’s scissors, the sword light cut open the ghastly green Demon Aura and made it disperse to the sides.

It was the first time that someone had been able to break through the dense aura. People were so stunned at the sudden change that they couldn’t help exclaiming, “It’s the man!”

Master Wu and Zhu Hong looked at each other and instantly understood what had happened.

The great swordsman in cyan made his move.

Their eyes lit up with shock when it dawned on them.

Right, how could they forget that god-like swordsman?

His swordsmanship was terrifyingly superb. He would not stay idle and watch them die since he also belonged to the Human Clan, so he finally made his move. There still might be a chance for Guo City to survive the night, all thanks to that mysterious young master.

Both of them watched with their hearts in their mouths.

Although they hated the young swordsman, both of them prayed in their hearts, hoping that he could defeat that demon. Otherwise, tens of thousands of demons would swarm the city like a tide once it was breached. By then, neither of them would be able to survive.

“Who is that?”

At the base of the Crouching Tiger Sect, a white-haired expert covered in blood looked up at the sky. A flash of hope reappeared in his eyes.

“Head, an unknown expert seems to have intervened…”

Hundreds of disciples of the Crouching Tiger Sect—who had been on full alert all this time—cheered around the white-haired expert. They had lost hope just then, when they saw their head fail to break the demonic cloud with the sect’s precious weapon, Tiger’s Teeth, and fall after being blown back by the Demon Royal. They didn’t expect that a mysterious savior would appear at that critical juncture.

“What a remarkable swordsmanship… Who is that person? I’ve visited all the masters in Guo City, but I’ve never seen such powerful Sword Qi!” The white-haired expert tried his best to recover from the shock.

He couldn’t figure out the identity of that mysterious man.

A disciple asked curiously, “Master, can he beat the Demon Royal?”

The white-haired expert shook his head slightly and said, “I’m not able to gauge the situation with my vision. However, that person’s swordsmanship is exceptional. I haven’t encountered the like in all my life. There should be hope!”

All the disciples of the Crouching Tiger Sect felt relieved upon hearing the head’s words. They stared at the rolling green demonic clouds in the sky and massive beam of silver sword light that kept piercing through the clouds, hoping for the best.

City Lord’s Mansion.

A golden-armored middle-aged man with a frightening three-finger claw print on his chest looked up at the sky as blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth. He said with surprise and joy, “Who is it that broke the Demon Royal’s protective demon cloud? When did such an amazing swordsman appear in our Guo City?”

“God bless the city lord. Guo City will be saved!”

“It’s all because of your leadership that Guo City has flourished and attracted reclusive experts…”

There were all kinds of compliments.

The middle-aged man spat a mouthful of blood and tended to his wounds with Qi. He snorted coldly, looked around, and said with a gloomy face, “Where is Hong’er? Where has he gone? That little bastard has been throwing his weight around in the name of the City Lord’s Mansion all day long. To think he’s nowhere to be seen at such an important moment. Damn.”

“Don’t be mad, City Lord!”

Under the statue of the War God of Mysterious Frost.

There was a burly man in black armor; his hair fell like a waterfall of ink. A scar made by sharp claws could be seen all across his waist, which almost tore his body into two halves, but he was still standing there, with more than a dozen Mysterious Frost Holy Guards by his side. A huge two-handed sword was stuck in the ground in front of him.

“When did such a sword master appear in the Earth Province? Why doesn’t the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost have any information about him?” The burly man’s eyes were as sharp as lightning. He quietly stared at the sky and said to himself, “It will be a great feat if this person can defeat the Demon Royal, saving millions of lives in the process. We must report it to the Holy Palace and reward him!”

After mentioning this, he said in a low voice, “I noticed that the sword light came from the 16th district in the north of the city. Send someone to investigate immediately and see if there are any clues.”

“Yes, sir!”

The two Mysterious Frost Holy Guards in golden armor bowed and disappeared in a flash as they went in the direction of the Earth Tiger Inn.

“My lord, you’d better treat your injury first!” a Mysterious Frost Holy Guard said concernedly.

The burly man pressed the wound on his waist with one hand and continued to stare at the battle in the sky, looking extremely anxious. “I’m all right. Let’s wait and see first… Ah, I hope this person can succeed, otherwise…”

Almost everyone was closely watching the battle in the sky.

Some of them had already fallen into despair since the great experts of the city were defeated. Hope was flaring up in their hearts at this moment.

The demons roared in the night sky. The green aura surged wildly like boiling water. Glaring silver sword lights pierced through the green clouds and split the night sky.

No one was able to see who had the upper hand with clarity because of the demonic clouds.

However, the silver sword radiance kept piercing through the green Demonic Aura, which meant the mysterious sword master had not been defeated yet.

“Roar roar…” An angry roar suddenly resounded in the sky, like the rage of a wounded beast.

Then, something unexpected happened.

The boundless green demonic cloud rapidly compressed into an even more dazzling shade. It soon condensed into a cluster of emerald green light about hundreds of meters in diameter. It hung in the sky like a brilliant sun, illuminating the whole Guo City.

People were finally able to see the ones involved in the battle.

On one side was a young man in a cyan robe; he looked like a divine being whose black hair was akin to a waterfall. Unfortunately, his face was covered with a faint light, making it impossible to see his real appearance. However, just the silhouette was enough to remind people of words like charming, handsome, romantic, and graceful.

The mysterious scholar in cyan floated in the void. Streaks of incomparably bright cold sword light came out of his finger, piercing through the sky and shooting toward the green sun.

He was as quiet as an exiled immortal. He firmly suppressed the Demon Royal as he released a powerful energy.

Green blood dripped from the sky.

Many martial arts experts were able to see with clarity that the Demon Royal had been injured.

They were ecstatic by such a discovery.

An angry roar came from the green sun, which echoed in the space like rolling thunder. “Roar, human, who are you? How dare you intervene with the affairs of the Demon Clan!”

The scholar in cyan didn’t say a word. Extremely strange Sword Qi kept bursting out of his hands, wandering in the void and cutting the night sky like streaks of silver divine light. It was invincible, no matter where it passed. The sword intent it contained seemed to carry the power to destroy everything.

It was evident that the entity hidden within the green light was extremely afraid of the silver sword radiance. It kept dodging, not daring to confront it head-on.

The mysterious Demon Royal opened his mouth to persuade him, showing an unusually softened attitude, “Human, you’re not from Guo City. Retreat now and don’t get involved. Otherwise, you won’t be able to escape death regardless of how strong you are.”

The scholar in cyan finally opened his mouth with a cold and merciless reply, “Die!”

His body suddenly shook, and a ball of red light flashed into existence. His handsome figure suddenly swelled to incredible proportions. He turned into a giant divine ape with three heads, six arms, and snow-white hair in the blink of an eye. A white halo flowed around his body which was a few hundred meters in height. Each of its arms held a massive weapon: four swords and two sabers in total; each blade was flashing with peculiar patterns.
