Relying on his strong willpower and his body's strong resistance, Xiao Lingyu forced his way to the city gate.
It was not that the person did not have a powerful enough ultimate move to kill Xiao Lingyu on the spot, but the ultimate move that could kill Xiao Lingyu was completely destructive. Once it was activated, it was very likely that Xiao Lingyu would be completely annihilated. In that case, how could he absorb Xiao Lingyu's life essence?
He was afraid that using an ultimate move would directly destroy his opponent, but ordinary moves would not be able to incapacitate his opponent. The person could only watch as his opponent dragged his bruised and battered body slowly into the large city.
He also wanted to get closer and imprison his opponent's body, but he was also worried that he would be injured. After all, with his experience, he could see that the broken saber in his opponent's hand was of an extremely high grade.
Furthermore, Xiao Lingyu's performance had already caused the person to stop underestimating him. The person felt that even if his opponent was heavily injured, he would definitely still have some powerful moves.
The reality was as such. Even a late-stage Demonic Monarch sword cultivator would find it difficult to gain the upper hand against Xiao Lingyu in close combat.
After entering the large city, Xiao Lingyu took a few healing pills for himself. As he continued to advance, his mind was on high alert.
The person naturally would not give up on pursuing Xiao Lingyu just because he had entered the city. Instead, he very calmly followed Xiao Lingyu into the city, maintaining a distance of fifty to sixty feet from Xiao Lingyu.
As he was heavily injured and was still recovering from the effects of the pills, Xiao Lingyu's pace was not fast. His tattered clothes, body covered in sword wounds, and blood attracted the attention of many passersby.
Perhaps they had sensed the thick smell of blood and killing intent on Xiao Lingyu's body, but wherever he passed, the passersby in front of him quickly moved aside and stood on both sides of the road, staring at him until his figure disappeared into the crowd.
"Once you enter the city, you won't be able to escape."
The person's voice entered Xiao Lingyu's ears again.
Xiao Lingyu ignored him and continued to walk slowly towards the center of the city. Just like last time, he wanted to enter the Bounty Hunter Branch to issue a mission.
Not long after, a group of city guards brushed past Xiao Lingyu, but they were stopped by the sword cultivator.
"I'll have to trouble the few of you to deliver this jade token to Commander Lei. Just say that an old friend wishes to meet him. Take these magic crystals and have some wine."
The man said politely as he stuffed a jade tablet and a few magic crystals into the hands of a city guard who seemed to be the leader.
Seeing that the person who had come was so generous and sensing the strong aura from the person who had come, the city guard nodded his head repeatedly. He allowed the other city guards to continue their patrol while he quickly left.
The person did not waste any time and caught up with Xiao Lingyu. However, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Lingyu also heard the conversation between the person and the city guard. Other than quickening her pace, there was nothing else she could do.
After walking for another hour, Xiao Lingyu, who was walking quickly, was suddenly bumped into by a cultivator.
That cultivator was running forward at an extremely fast speed. Xiao Lingyu's attention had been on the sword cultivator Demon Lord, so he did not have time to dodge.
"Don't you have eyes when you walk?"
What Xiao Lingyu did not expect was that the cultivator did not stop in time and bumped into him, but that cultivator actually scolded him loudly.
Xiao Lingyu only smiled slightly and cupped his fists. "Then I'll apologize."
With that, Xiao Lingyu directly went around and continued forward.
Unexpectedly, that cultivator caught up with him and grabbed Xiao Lingyu's sleeve. He shouted, "You want to leave just like that after bumping into someone?"
Xiao Lingyu was angry, but he did not get angry. Instead, he took out a few supreme-grade Demon Stones and said, "These Demon Stones are my apology."
Xiao Lingyu did not want to cause trouble, but the other party did not stop pestering her.
The other party directly threw the supreme-grade Demon Stones at Xiao Lingyu. Then, he half-squatted and spread his legs. He said, "If you crawl under my crotch and shout 'Grandpa, I'm wrong' three times, this matter will be over."
"Ridiculous!"
Xiao Lingyu snorted coldly and did not bother with that cultivator anymore. With a flick of her sleeve, she flung the cultivator's hand away and continued forward.
Xiao Lingyu did not use much strength when she flung her arm, but that cultivator let out a miserable cry and flew backward. It looked like he had suffered a heavy blow. After landing, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.
"City guard, city guard, someone attacked in the city …"
"Everyone saw it. After he bumped into me, he attacked me again …"
That cultivator did not get up. He sat on the ground and shouted like a shrew.
Xiao Lingyu naturally ignored him. He thought that the city guards would not care about such a small matter. After all, he did not really attack just now. However, he was wrong. A team of more than twenty city guard experts rushed over and surrounded Xiao Lingyu.
Among these city guards, there was no Demon Lord. The highest cultivation was only at the early-stage Mystic Demon. With their strength, they naturally could not surround Xiao Lingyu. However, they represented the City Lord's Mansion. In Xiao Lingyu's current state, he did not dare to attack these city guards.
That cultivator got up and ran to the city guards to complain about Xiao Lingyu's "crime". He was almost in tears.
"Everyone saw the truth just now. Everyone's eyes are clear as snow." Xiao Lingyu looked at that cultivator with contempt and said calmly.
"Who can prove it?"
The city guard, who seemed to be the leader, narrowed his eyes and looked around. The cultivators who were originally surrounding the area all turned their heads and left one after another.
This matter did not concern them. Let it go!
"Since no one can prove it, then both of you will come with me," the city guard leader said with a fair and just look.
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu's sharp eyes discovered that the cultivator who had stirred up trouble just now clearly had a smug expression. From this, it could be seen that he was either not afraid of the city guards or had ulterior motives.
Xiao Lingyu looked at that sword cultivator Demon Lord again and also saw the smug expression in his eyes.
Looks like he colluded with the city guards to scheme against me. If I go with this city guard, I probably won't have a good time … Xiao Lingyu hesitated.
If he did not go with the city guards, these city guards would definitely forcefully detain him. If he attacked, he would definitely attract the attacks of even more city guard experts. In his current state, it was impossible for him to fight his way out of the city. Even if he did, he would still have to face the pursuit of that sword cultivator Demon Lord …
"What are you waiting for? Follow him!"
Seeing that Xiao Lingyu was not moving, the city guard leader shouted at Xiao Lingyu with a cold expression.
Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to nod and follow the city guard team.
All large cities had city guards, and the city guards usually lived and cultivated in the city guard camp. They also handled some small matters in the camp.
Only some major matters in the city would be settled by the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion naturally would not interfere in ordinary trivial matters.
Xiao Lingyu followed the city guard team into the camp and came to a three-story stone building.
This three-story stone building was not tall, but it was very long. There were many individual rooms on each floor. Xiao Lingyu was brought to one of the rooms on the third floor.
"Wait here first. Someone will come to investigate this matter in a while."
After the city guard finished speaking, he left the room and closed the door.
In less than two breaths of time after the door was closed, the four walls of the room suddenly shone with light, and the patterns of restrictions and talismans appeared at the same time.
"Not good!"
Xiao Lingyu exclaimed in a low voice and pushed the door again, but it was pushed open by an extremely powerful force.
In an instant, the silver moon broken blade appeared in his hand again and slashed at the door.
However, just as the silver moon broken blade was about to touch the door, it suddenly stopped.
"If I attack the door of the city guard camp, those city guards will definitely swarm over. This is not appropriate!" Xiao Lingyu put away the silver moon broken blade and muttered.
Just as Xiao Lingyu was hesitating, the sword cultivator Demon Lord had also arrived at the city guard camp. In a secret room, he sat opposite a city guard expert who also had the cultivation of Demon Lord. There was a table between the two of them, and on the table, there were some fruits and wine.
"It has been many years since we last met. Brother Feng is actually about to break through to the Demon Lord level. Congratulations." The city guard expert raised his cup and smiled.
"Brother Lu is not bad either. Although you are still a little far from the Emperor level, you have already reached the middle stage of the Demon Lord level in less than ten million years. Your progress can be considered fast." The sword cultivator surnamed Feng also raised his wine cup and said politely.
The two of them drank their cups in satisfaction. The city guard expert put down his wine cup and asked as he poured the wine, "I heard that Brother Feng said before you went into seclusion that you would not come out until you reached the Emperor level. Why did you suddenly come out when you are about to break through?"
The sword cultivator surnamed Feng said vaguely, "There are some things that I need to deal with. Otherwise, my seclusion will be delayed, and I will have no chance to deal with them if I fail to break through."
The city guard expert laughed and said, "With Brother Feng's talent, how can you fail to break through? However, I heard from the brothers at the city gate that Brother Feng entered the city because he was chasing that person. I saw that person just now. Although I felt that he was a little strange, he didn't seem to be very strong. "
The sword cultivator surnamed Feng said mysteriously, "Brother Lu, you have misjudged him. If he wasn't very strong, how could he escape into the city under my pursuit?"
The city guard expert was stunned at first. Then, he said, "Brother Feng, although we have a good relationship, if the City Lord knows that I helped you like this …"
The sword cultivator surnamed Feng interrupted and said, "If we don't say anything, how will that old guy know?"
The city guard expert shook his head and said, "Although I am the city guard commander, not all of the city guards are my people. The City Lord's Mansion has many spies watching over here."
The sword cultivator surnamed Feng still smiled. Then, he threw a jade box on the table and said, "The last time I went out to travel, I happened to obtain a Demonic Stone. I used half of it when refining the sword. Now, I have half left. I will give it to you as a token of appreciation for your help this time."
"Demonic Stone? Is it really the Demonic Stone that can nurture the spirituality of magic treasures? "
The city guard expert hurriedly opened the box, looking very excited.
