Ito Nami's gaze was as piercing as a flame, fixating on Yu Qingtan with anger flickering in his eyes. As the City Lord of Hengbing Immortal City, with a cultivation level that had reached the Mid-Nascent Stage, he was someone people ordinarily wouldn't dare to provoke. At this moment, seeing his son slain right before his eyes, one could only imagine the fury in his heart.

"Who are you, and why did you kill my son?" Ito Nami's voice was cold and authoritative, as if he intended to freeze Yu Qingtan on the spot.

Ito Nami wanted to crush Yu Qingtan right there and then, but considering that despite her young age she had already reached the Initial Nascent Stage and seemed so fearless, he worried she might have a shocking background.

Besides, this was inside Immortal City. Even though he had activated the Protective City Formation, it wasn't capable of instantly killing Yu Qingtan, who was at the Initial Nascent Stage. If they fought, it could cause unpredictable damage to Immortal City.

Yu Qingtan was not the slightest bit afraid. She looked at Ito Nami coldly and said, "He was rude and had ill intentions. He died with more than enough guilt. As for who I am, you are not worthy to know! If you want revenge, then come at me!"

Upon hearing this, Ito Nami's face grew even more somber. As the City Lord, no one would usually dare to defy his wishes, let alone kill someone on the street. Now, not only had this woman killed his son, but she also stood righteous and confident, blatantly disrespecting him.

"Such arrogance! You must know, in Hengbing Immortal City, no one has dared to act so recklessly!" Ito Nami bellowed in anger.

Yu Qingtan let out a contemptuous laugh, her lips curling into a scornful smile. She raised her right hand and made a downward chopping gesture.

A hundred-zhang-long water blade formed and cleaved towards Ito Nami.

"Nascent Soul Late Stage! The first layer of the Origin of Water!" Ito Nami was shocked. He had not anticipated that this young woman would have already reached the late stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, and moreover, she could wield the power of the Origin of Water—something ordinary cultivators couldn't accomplish.

He hastily swung his Lifebound Artifact, a large saber named Barbarian Dragon, so fiercely that it created an impenetrable blade energy barrier, ready to resist this lethal strike.

The water blade came down, carrying endless moisture and towering might, as if it were about to split the entire Immortal City in half.

"Boom, boom, boom—" Amidst the deafening sounds, Hengbing Immortal City was cleaved with a massive crack stretching for miles, and cries and wails could be heard from the citizens amidst the dust-filled air.

Buildings nearby collapsed under the impact of the water blade, dust filling the air, leaving a scene of utter devastation. The residents of Immortal City were in a state of extreme panic, running in all directions, with many buried under the crumbling structures, their fates unknown.

"Cough, cough—"

Ito Nami, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, flew out of the crack, surrounded by a high-grade talisman-shaped shield.

"You dare to act so recklessly in Immortal City, disregarding the lives of the lower-level cultivators. Such demonic conduct is an outrage to heaven and humanity!" Ito Nami accused, while controlling the Great Array of the city to form a massive protective shield.

The Protective City Formation of Hengbing Immortal City was only a Fourth Stage inferior grade; it stood no chance against Yu Qingtan, who was at the Late Nascent Stage. It could only try to prevent further damage to the city from the aftermath of the battle.

Yu Qingtan paid it no mind; to her, the cultivators of Sakura Island were nothing more than wild cultivators. In her eyes, the only good Sakura Island wild cultivators were the dead ones.

Then, Yu Qingtan formed another water blade and slashed towards Ito Nami. She was in no hurry to kill this man because she had detected the presence of five Nascent Soul cultivators in the city, one of whom was at the Late Nascent Stage, yet none was the Jun Yu Jade she was searching for.

The water blade, with its chilling and sharp aura, came slashing down again, its power surpassing the previous strike by threefold.

Ito Nami desperately slapped out his last Fourth Stage amulet, while swinging the Barbarian Dragon saber, in a bid to fend off this deadly strike.

However, Yu Qingtan's strength far exceeded his expectations. Her blade easily cleaved through the protective shield formed by the amulet's talisman, pressing down on the Savage Dragon Cleaver and once again slashing Ito Nami back into the ground.

"Pfft—" Ito Nami spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, seriously injured, and cracks appeared on the Savage Dragon Cleaver as well. Ito Nami was terrified in his heart; he had not expected this woman to be so powerful.

Yu Qingtan did not intend to stop. She once again condensed a water blade and launched a third strike, three parts stronger. Her eyes shimmered with an indifferent glow, completely unconcerned about the life and death of Ito Nami.

Just then, a powerful presence suddenly appeared in the skies above Immortal City. A venerable elder in a green robe appeared out of thin air; his face was majestic and his gaze piercing—it was the Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator of Hengbing Immortal City, the patriarch of the Ito family, Ito Castle.

"Stop!" the elder bellowed angrily, his voice reverberating across the land. He waved his hand, and a golden light headed straight for Yu Qingtan's water blade.

"Boom!" The two forces collided, producing an earth-shattering sound. The water blade was shattered by the golden light, dispersing into mist that vanished into the sky.

"Ancestor, you've finally come!" Ito Nami said excitedly, "Uh—" Suddenly,

a short dagger appeared behind Ito Nami and then plunged into his body, shredding his Nascent Soul and soul to pieces.

The short dagger then flew back into Yu Qingtan's hand at an unbelievable speed, along with Ito Nami's storage ring.

This short dagger was originally the lifebound artifact of the Young Sect Master of the Extreme Path Demon Sect, Murong Haokong, the Void Cleaving Blade.

Although Yu Qingtan had destroyed its artifact spirit, due to its extremely high-quality material and spatial attributes, it had been slightly modified in appearance by Yu Qingtan, a fourth-order artifact refiner, to avoid recognition.

"You—" Ito Castle watched his family's outstanding junior die a miserable death under Yu Qingtan's shameless sneak attack.

Anger blazed in Ito Castle's eyes. He had not expected this woman to not only be powerful but also so cunning. Grieving the loss of his junior, his heart was a mix of sorrow and rage—he wished to tear Yu Qingtan to pieces immediately.

"Shameless witch, how dare you commit murder in Hengbing Immortal City! If I don't bring you to justice today, where would my Ito family's face be! Dare you fight me high above!" Ito Castle roared in anger.

"Hmph, the Ito family? What is that, to speak such big words here. Today, I shall let you understand what true strength is!" Yu Qingtan said, her tone filled with disdain and contempt.

Then, Yu Qingtan soared into the sky, heading for the high altitudes. Since the opponent did not dare to battle within the city, she would grant his wish.

Ito Castle also soared up. High above, Yu Qingtan and Ito Castle stood opposite each other, their auras climbing, as if they were going to tear the very sky apart.

Ito Castle's face was gloomy. He clenched a shimmering golden cleaver in his hand—his lifebound artifact, named "Golden Gleam Cleaver." He had practiced the Metal Dao for many years, but only just touched the threshold of the Origin of Metal.

Confronted with Yu Qingtan, who had comprehended the Origin of Water, Ito Castle relied on his more robust spiritual power, his richer combat experience, and his additional trump cards.

Of course, that's just what he assumed.

Yu Qingtan, expressionless, held the Void Cleaving Blade in her hand and slashed forward.
