"What’s going on? How is Zhang Su still number one?"

"Senior Brother Zhang Su hasn’t made any major waves in the past ten days or so."

"Shen Mo made it onto the bounty list, ranking fifth, which isn’t a low position. That’s understandable, but Senior Brother Zhang Su..."

Many disciples of the Guiyuan Sect were in an uproar.

They saw Zhang Su every day.

So, it didn’t feel like a big deal to them.

Zhang Su hadn’t made any major waves in the past ten days.

Why would the Five Elements Sect still list Zhang Su as number one on their bounty list?

"I’ve been watching Senior Brother Zhang Su closely. For the past ten days, he’s come to collect merit points every single day. He’s guaranteed to kill at least one Inner Force Martial Artist daily. Sometimes, if he’s lucky, he kills two, and occasionally there are Outer Force Martial Artists as well."

"So, over these past few days, Senior Brother Zhang Su has killed a total of thirteen Inner Force Martial Artists and seven Outer Force Martial Artists, earning four hundred and sixty merit points in all."

Suddenly, a voice piped up from the crowd.

WHOOSH.

All eyes instantly fell upon Zhang Su.

The entire Martial Arts Arena fell silent at once.

The crowd was astonished.

They hadn’t really bothered to do the math.

So, without them even realizing it, Zhang Su had already slain thirteen Inner Force Martial Artists from the Five Elements Sect?

That was truly... terrifying!

Bai Jinghong had fought desperately a few days ago, even with a Guardian accompanying him, and had only managed to kill a few Inner Force Martial Artists.

Shen Mo had caused a huge stir by wiping out an entire Inner Force team from the Five Elements Sect at once, but even he came back empty-handed sometimes.

Anyone who had fought a Five Elements Sect Disciple knew they were not easy to kill.

Killing one or two didn’t seem like much and went largely unnoticed.

But for Zhang Su to kill one every day, and occasionally even two or three, was horrifying.

It added up to thirteen Inner Force Martial Artists!

Even Jiang Taizhen, whom the Guiyuan Sect considered a grave threat, had apparently only killed about a dozen Inner Force Martial Artists in the past ten days—roughly the same number as Zhang Su.

"Senior Brother Zhang Su never caused a huge stir, but now I see it. Being able to kill a Five Elements Sect Inner Force Martial Artist every day... that’s incredibly consistent. It’s a testament to his strength!"

"Yeah, even someone as strong as Shen Mo can’t kill an Inner Force Martial Artist from the Five Elements Sect every day."

"Senior Brother Zhang Su absolutely deserves his spot on the Five Elements Sect’s Inner Force bounty list!"

Just then, Xie Guanchao approached Zhang Su.

"Junior Brother Zhang Su, Elder Wang has sent for you."

"Thank you for leading the way, Senior Brother Xie."

Zhang Su then followed Xie Guanchao away from the Martial Arts Arena.

Soon, Zhang Su was before Elder Wang.

His expression was grave as he said, "Zhang Su, you may be in trouble! The Five Elements Sect takes you very seriously. They’ll most likely arrange for a Huajin expert to ambush you. You’d best stay away from the battlefield for the next few days."

"I understand, Elder Wang."

In fact, Jiang Taizhen had already received the ’honor’ of being ambushed by a Huajin expert.

But Jiang Taizhen had managed to escape.

Now, it was Zhang Su’s turn.

"If you’re really ambushed by a Huajin expert, remember: don’t hesitate. Run!"

Zhang Su nodded.

He naturally took Elder Wang’s warning to heart.

Zhang Su returned to his room.

’Huajin...’

He checked his merit points. He already had six hundred sixty.

He was still short by a little over three hundred points.

He was so close to a thousand points.

Once he had a thousand, he could redeem them for a spot in the Fire Melting Cave.

Once he went to the Fire Melting Cave, all three of his Divine Techniques would surely reach Perfection. Then, they would truly merge as one, and he would break through to the Inner Force realm!

However, he couldn’t be hasty now.

He had to be patient.

And so, Zhang Su heeded Elder Wang’s warning.

He stayed away from the battlefield for five consecutive days.

However, he still needed to earn merit points.

He couldn’t avoid combat indefinitely.

Besides, he figured the Five Elements Sect couldn’t have a Huajin expert lying in wait for him forever. They hadn’t found a trace of him in five days; they had probably given up.

What’s more, even if he did run into a Huajin expert, he would just run.

Thus, on the evening of the sixth day, Zhang Su donned his Night Clothes and once again stepped onto the battlefield.

WHOOSH...

The night wind howled.

Zhang Su seemed to melt into the pitch-black night.

He constantly weaved through the area between Drum Tower Street and Stone Arch Street.

Lately, he had been spending more and more time searching for targets.

The number of lone wolves was dwindling.

Many had formed teams.

Previously, Zhang Su only needed fifteen minutes to find a lone wolf with Inner Force Cultivation and kill them.

Then he would return.

But now, he might not find anyone even after searching for thirty minutes.

The longer he stayed on the battlefield, the greater the risk.

Zhang Su naturally understood this.

But he couldn’t return empty-handed.

’If this doesn’t work, I’ll have to take a bit of a risk and go after one of those Inner Force teams...’

Zhang Su weighed his options.

There were too few lone wolves.

He couldn’t just search forever.

Dealing with an Inner Force team was certainly risky.

But if he was fast enough, he could minimize that risk.

’I’ll search for another fifteen minutes. If I still can’t find a lone wolf, I’ll go after an Inner Force team...’

Zhang Su had made his decision.

Just as he was about to continue his search for Inner Force Martial Artists from the Five Elements Sect, an intense killing intent suddenly erupted from the pitch-black darkness.

With it came the flash of a blade, hidden in the darkness, that instantly tore through the night sky as it slashed toward Zhang Su.

’Is this... a Huajin expert?’

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Su ran!

The Little Three Yang Power inside him erupted in an instant.

The speed of his Body Technique surged, and he fled frantically toward the Guiyuan Sect’s garrison.

Fortunately, he had been cautious.

He hadn’t strayed too far from the Guiyuan Sect’s garrison.

It was a necessary precaution.

He never thought a Huajin expert from the Five Elements Sect would still be lying in wait for him!

As Zhang Su fled with all his might, he found that the dark figure behind him was actually getting closer.

Clearly, his opponent was a Huajin expert who also specialized in Body Techniques.

However, while the opponent’s Body Technique was fast, it wasn’t fast enough to catch Zhang Su immediately.

Zhang Su’s perception was incredibly sharp.

The instant his opponent had moved, Zhang Su had sensed it and bolted.

That was the only reason his opponent hadn’t been able to close the distance.

Zhang Su drew closer and closer to the Guiyuan Sect garrison.

SWISH.

In the next instant, a jet-black long spear suddenly came whistling in from the side.

That jet-black long spear looked somewhat familiar to Zhang Su.

The owner of the spear was tall, their entire being exuding an icy coldness.

Wasn’t this Sikong Shuang, the one who had forced even Xie Guanchao to flee in disarray?

Sikong Shuang had actually been lying in ambush near Drum Tower Street.

This was a killing blow, timed perfectly for when Zhang Su was fleeing back toward the Guiyuan Sect garrison!

’Two Huajin experts, one to chase and one to ambush. The Five Elements Sect really knows how to flatter a guy...’

Zhang Su couldn’t help but wonder: when Jiang Taizhen was ambushed by the Guiyuan Sect’s Huajin experts, did he receive this kind of ’special treatment’ too?
