Unrestricted Dao Lord

The jet-black spear was incredibly fast, and its attack was a complete surprise. Any other Inner Force Martial Artist would have been unable to avoid it.

But Zhang Su was different.

He possessed a keen perception, one infinitely close to Martial Sense.

Perhaps he hadn’t detected anything while Sikong Shuang was lying in wait.

But the moment Sikong Shuang made her move, Zhang Su sensed it.

Therefore, he instantly twisted aside, creating just enough space for the jet-black spear to graze past him.

But Sikong Shuang was a Huajin master.

Even with her technique already committed, she somehow managed to forcibly alter its trajectory mid-motion. The thrust transformed into a horizontal sweep of the spear’s shaft, aimed right at Zhang Su.

Zhang Su didn’t hesitate for a second.

The Inner Strength within his body erupted.

Twelve Layers Killing Sword!

CLANG.

Zhang Su’s sword left its sheath.

This time, however, he wasn’t aiming to kill. He struck directly at the jet-black spear.

BAM.

The power of Zhang Su’s Little Three Yang Power combined with the Twelve Layers Tower Killing Sword—how could it be anything but terrifying?

Back then, even a Half-Step Wei Yunzhou couldn’t withstand three of his strikes.

But against a true Huajin master...

Zhang Su immediately felt the gap in their power.

He felt a tremor run through his Cold Frost Sword.

A rebounding force instantly coursed through his body.

It even carried a hint of chilling energy.

Of course, his strike had an effect.

The jet-black spear slowed down slightly.

Zhang Su, in turn, used this rebounding force to accelerate his retreat.

"Huh?"

Sikong Shuang seemed somewhat surprised.

She wasn’t just any Huajin Martial Artist.

She was a top-tier existence among those at the Huajin realm.

And yet, a spear thrust she had put her full power into had actually been slowed by a single slash from Zhang Su.

It wasn’t completely blocked, but in a situation like this, even a slight delay rendered the attack useless.

After all, Zhang Su’s Body Technique was extremely fast.

"An Outer Force Martial Artist... No wonder you’re ranked first on my Five Elements Sect’s Inner Force bounty list. You’re truly no weaker than Jiang Taizhen. But today, you must die!"

Sikong Shuang showed no mercy.

Her spear technique shifted again as she thrust directly at Zhang Su.

This thrust was incredibly fast.

In a flash, it became impossible to dodge.

’Sikong Shuang’s every thrust is heavy and powerful. I absolutely cannot meet them head-on!’

The webbing between Zhang Su’s thumb and forefinger was still numb.

He had only struck Sikong Shuang’s spear once.

And the rebounding force had been enough to make the webbing of his hand go numb.

’If her spear actually landed on me, how terrifying would that be?’

Although Zhang Su’s own strength was less than a Huajin Martial Artist’s, the explosive combination of his Thirteen Layers Killing Sword and Little Three Yang Power should have been able to unleash an attack infinitely close to the Huajin level.

But he was facing Sikong Shuang.

’That madwoman is too strong.’

’No wonder Xie Guanchao runs from Sikong Shuang like a mouse from a cat.’

So, not daring to meet her attacks head-on, Zhang Su relied on his keen perception to dodge Sikong Shuang’s spear.

Sikong Shuang was indeed powerful, but to Zhang Su’s perception, her spear seemed to move in slow motion.

One thrust, two thrusts, three thrusts...

’This is impossible!’

Sikong Shuang was filled with shock and doubt.

’If Zhang Su had dodged one or two thrusts, it could be explained as luck.’

’But dodging three, four... this was definitely not luck!’

’After all, Zhang Su isn’t a Huajin Martial Artist. He shouldn’t be able to comprehend the changes in Power, so how could he possibly dodge her Spear Technique?’

Sikong Shuang couldn’t make sense of it.

’This madwoman...’

Zhang Su was under immense pressure as well.

His perception was indeed keen.

But Sikong Shuang’s Spear Technique was too fast.

Each thrust was faster than the last.

’Sometimes I can sense it, but my body can’t react in time. If that happens, I’m in trouble.’

Just dodging a few thrusts left Zhang Su feeling utterly exhausted.

Fortunately, the sect’s encampment was just ahead.

"Sikong Shuang, how dare you!"

Just then, a figure shot out from the encampment.

The person drew their saber instantly.

A flash of light from the saber struck Sikong Shuang’s spear in an instant.

One slash, two slashes, three slashes...

He slashed seven times in total.

Sikong Shuang’s entire body shuddered.

She staggered back three steps, only managing to stabilize herself by slamming her spear into the ground.

The saber-wielding Martial Artist didn’t come out unscathed either, and also retreated several steps.

"Zhou Peng... A fine Seven Extremes Saber. It truly lives up to its name!"

Sikong Shuang stared coldly at Zhou Peng.

She might be slightly stronger than Zhou Peng, but not by much.

Killing Zhang Su with Zhou Peng present was now impossible.

Besides, they were too close to the Guiyuan Sect’s encampment.

More Huajin Martial Artists could emerge from the Guiyuan Sect encampment at any moment.

She wouldn’t be able to gain any advantage.

Sikong Shuang shot Zhang Su another deep, meaningful look.

"I truly detest you Martial Artists who specialize in Body Techniques. Every last one of you is as slippery as an eel..."

In Sikong Shuang’s eyes, Zhang Su was now just as infuriating as Xie Guanchao.

He was clearly weaker than her, yet she was powerless to do anything to him.

"Let’s go!"

Sikong Shuang made a swift decision. She and the other Huajin Martial Artist who had been chasing Zhang Su turned to leave, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

By now, Zhang Su had already made it back into the encampment.

"Thank you for the rescue, Senior Brother Zhou Peng."

Zhang Su bowed to Zhou Peng.

Of course, even without Zhou Peng’s help, he was so close that he likely would have made it back to the encampment safely anyway.

But Zhou Peng had indeed stepped in to save him.

It was a debt Zhang Su had to acknowledge.

By this point, many people had noticed the commotion.

Especially during the clash between Zhou Peng and Sikong Shuang, where Zhou Peng had pushed his Seven Extremes Saber to its absolute limit.

This alone showed how intense the recent battle had been.

Zhou Peng turned around, his eyes filled with amazement as he looked Zhang Su up and down.

"Zhang Su, to be hunted all this way by Sikong Shuang and He Feng and still escape back to the encampment... It seems your Body Technique is truly impressive. It’s probably on par with Xie Guanchao’s."

Zhou Peng knew Zhang Su had a good Body Technique.
