At this time, on the rooftop of Nandu City, the only sounds that could be heard were the sparks from the battle between the two sides and the roar of the fierce collision of true energy.

Ren Chennan was like the brightest meteor in the night sky. The meteor gun in his hand danced tightly, carrying a sharp whistle that tore through the air. The tip of the gun looked even sharper under the moonlight.

Although the five secret guards around him were only masters in the late stage of dark energy, they had excellent tacit understanding with each other. Sometimes they turned into sharp blades to attack Liu Qingyun's vital points, and sometimes they tightly blocked the extremely powerful offensive to protect their master from getting hurt.

However, Liu Qingyun did not use his full strength. Every step he took in the air seemed to shatter the stars. With a light wave of his sleeves, he and Ren Chennan's meteor spear burst out with a deafening roar.

Ren Chennan's face was solemn. Although his strength had reached the level of a mid-level Grandmaster, he was almost unable to withstand a casual attack from Grandmaster Liu Qingyun.

He roared suddenly, and the Meteor Spear was unstoppable. The shadows of the spear were so heavy that it seemed to tear the night sky apart. Every strike contained the fact that he did not want the Emperor Sword to be touched by others.

Liu Qingyun's posture was graceful, as if he were a fairy from otherworldly. Every time he waved his sleeves casually, he easily dissolved the fierce piercing attacks from the Meteor Spear like a storm.

The five secret guards used their own unique skills one after another, trying to use secret methods to make up for the gap in cultivation, but their offensive was like children's play in front of the grandmaster and was easily resolved. They even suffered backlash and vomited blood.

The Meteor Spear emitted a cold light, breaking the silence of the night, carrying a force as powerful as thunder, and went straight to Liu Qingyun's vitals.

City Lord Liu simply turned sideways to avoid the unstoppable attack. He flicked his sleeves lightly, seemingly casually, but it contained the power of heaven and earth. A powerful airflow instantly gushed out, colliding with the tip of the gun, bursting out with a dazzling light, making the air buzzing and almost suffocating.

Suddenly, a dazzling arrow pierced through the darkness and accurately penetrated Liu Qingyun's seemingly impeccable airflow protection, leaving a long and thin trail of light.

Commander Zhang stood on the top of a tall building not far away. His silver armor shone coldly in the moonlight, and he held the exquisite bow firmly in his hand, as if he could see through all illusions.

Ren Chennan's eyes suddenly focused after the arrow pierced the night sky, and his heart was in turmoil. He glanced at the top of the tall building where Commander Zhang was. The silver armor was shining, like an arrow god descending to the world. The remaining power on the exquisite bow was so powerful that even from a distance, one could feel a frightening force.

"My brother actually sent him here..."

He knew Commander Zhang's strength very well. He was at the peak of the late Grandmaster stage and was a rare master in the world. His archery skills were superb. Even a Grand Master would find it difficult to escape unscathed.

If such a master really came for the Emperor's Sword, then the fight would be far more dangerous than expected.

Liu Qingyun stood in the void, looking directly at Commander Zhang, and said calmly: "Nandu City does not care about worldly affairs, and has become a pure land of its own. The changing situation outside the city has nothing to do with the people in our city."

Commander Zhang lowered the exquisite bow in his hand gently, but it did not lose its sharpness. He slowly said, "Lord Liu, I am ordered by our emperor to find out the source of the civil strife in the martial arts world. Although Nandu City is a place of seclusion, it is difficult to escape the involvement of worldly affairs."

Ren Chennan thought this was an opportunity. A cunning look flashed in his eyes, and he said deliberately, "Commander Zhang, there is indeed a shocking secret in the City Lord's Mansion, which concerns the safety of our royal family and even the peace of the entire martial arts world. This is why I came here, but I almost lost my life at the hands of City Lord Liu. If it weren't for your divine arrow, I'm afraid I would have died here."

"Lord Liu, rules are dead, but people are alive. The martial arts world is in turmoil, how can the Southern Capital City remain immune? Today, I must witness the so-called 'earth-shaking secret' with my own eyes to protect the foundation of the Dragon Kingdom for hundreds of years, as well as the harmony of the martial arts world."

Liu Qingyun did not move, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his eyes as deep as the night sky, his tone was full of unquestionable determination: "Commander Zhang, if you insist on forcing your way into the mansion, you will be breaking the rules of Nandu. How can we have peace in the future?"

The two men's negotiations were ineffective and tensions arose.

Commander Zhang was surrounded by a murderous aura. He slowly took a step forward, and there seemed to be wind and thunder surging under his feet. The exquisite bow was no longer the long-range weapon it used to be. At this moment, it was more like an invisible long sword, ready to cut through the void at any time.

A faint green light surrounded Liu Qingyun's body, like an immortal walking out of an ancient book, with his eyes slightly closed, as if sensing the subtle changes between heaven and earth.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes, with a gleam of light flashing in his eyes that blended with the moonlight. A powerful internal force surged out of his body, distorting the surrounding air slightly.

The confrontation between the two masters made the air around them freeze. Liu Qingyun stretched out his body, like a misty green smoke. He lightly tapped his fingertips, and a green energy force cut through the sky, rushing towards Ren Chennan who was about to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion.

The energy was so powerful that wherever it passed, the air seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, making a sharp whistling sound.

Ren Chennan's heart trembled and he retreated violently. At the same time, two of the five secret guards quickly stepped forward, used their bodies as shields, and took the attack head-on. Although they were not killed on the spot, they vomited blood and staggered.

At this critical moment, Commander Zhang's exquisite bow sounded again, and an arrow broke through the air, accurately hitting the green energy emitted by Liu Qingyun.

The two collided in the air, bursting into brilliant light, like the brightest fireworks in the night sky, but they were fleeting, leaving only a circle of ripples in the air.

With Commander Zhang's accurate interception of the arrow, Ren Chennan took advantage of the situation and rolled over, landing steadily in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Steward Lin and the soldiers did not dare to stop the Southern King without the prince's order, and could only watch him step into the Soul Tracing Realm...

Liu Qingyun soared into the air, with a bright green light all around him, like the brightest star in the night sky. He slowly opened his palms as if to tear apart the invisible space.

He pushed his palms forward suddenly, and a vast sea of green energy gushed out from his palms, transforming into a winding green dragon, roaring and sweeping towards Commander Zhang.

The green dragon was majestic and ferocious. Wherever it passed, even the air seemed to tremble at its majesty.

Commander Zhang knew that this attack was of great power. He planted his feet firmly on the ground and gathered all his strength in his right hand. The exquisite bow seemed to come alive, and the bowstring vibrated and made a low humming sound.

He pulled the bowstring to its full extent and aimed the tip of the arrow at the whistling Azure Dragon. A power beyond the mortal world burst out from his body. The arrow emitted a faint silver luster under the moonlight, carrying the power to destroy the world as it met the Azure Dragon head-on.

The duel between the two masters reached its climax at this moment. Ordinary warriors could not match them. Ren Chennan's five secret guards had already retreated outside the city gate in disgrace.

The blue dragon roared and the silver arrow broke through the air. The two forces collided violently in the air, stirring up layers of air waves and shrouding the surrounding scenery in chaos, like the collapse of the sky and the splitting of the earth!

Commander Zhang's body swayed slightly, and the ground beneath his feet cracked into several tiny cracks. It was obvious that his silver armor had endured a great impact.

However, he still stood firm, and even had a faint smile on his face, which was a recognition of City Lord Liu's strength and a display of his own unyielding will.

Although Commander Zhang was defeated, he managed to force back City Lord Liu's Azure Dragon power with his amazing arrow, which eventually turned into points of green light and dissipated into the night sky.

Commander Zhang put the bow into his arms and looked at Liu Qingyun in the sky with respect in his eyes. He bowed and said, "As expected of you, you are the best fighter in Nandu. Today's battle was really enjoyable. If we were not on the same side, I would really like to drink with City Lord Liu."

Liu Qingyun paused slightly, the green light gradually faded, and he resumed his usual aloof attitude: "Commander Zhang is an extraordinary archer. Since the Southern King has entered the City Lord's Mansion, I will naturally not interfere."

City Lord Liu turned around and slowly walked into the deep porch of the City Lord's Mansion, as if he was isolated from the noise of the outside world.

Commander Zhang stood outside the city gate, staring at the tightly closed mansion door, his eyes seeming to still be savoring the fight just now.

The guards he brought with him did not dare to make a sound while riding on their horses. The atmosphere around them was very solemn and serious.

The flags fluttered in the night wind, and the occasional sound of drums added a sense of heaviness to the quiet night.
