Unrestricted Dao Lord

The area around Drum Tower Street and Stone Arch Street was completely different by day and by night.

At night, lone wolves were most common.

Poor visibility at night made it ideal for ambushes.

Lone wolves would often hide in the shadows to ambush others.

But visibility was excellent during the day, making ambushes difficult.

During the day, most Martial Artists engaged in direct combat.

Moreover, they almost always formed teams.

It was still very difficult for one person to face an entire squad.

A small squad usually consisted of three to five Inner Force Martial Artists.

The slightest delay might be enough for a Huajin Martial Artist to arrive.

Shen Mo himself had first made a name for himself by wiping out an Inner Force squad.

However, Shen Mo had been injured while wiping out that Inner Force squad.

He was considered to have been quite lucky.

Taking out a squad always came at a price.

This was why most Martial Artists chose to form teams.

But Zhang Su had no need for a team.

He hadn’t targeted those Inner Force teams before, mainly because he’d felt it was an unnecessary risk.

It wasn’t that he was incapable of wiping them out.

But now, Zhang Su was no longer afraid.

Even He Feng and Sikong Shuang, working together, had failed to kill him.

’So what if a real Huajin Martial Artist arrived?’

’Today, no one could stop him from killing!’

"Found one!"

This time, it took Zhang Su less than fifteen minutes to find an Inner Force squad.

There were five of them in total.

Zhang Su immediately executed his Body Technique and charged toward the Inner Force squad.

Zhou Yuan was a disciple from Li Fire Peak of the Five Elements Sect.

He had formed an Inner Force squad.

The members of his squad hailed from the various peaks of the Five Elements Sect. They coordinated with each other, and although their teamwork wasn’t as powerful as a single person achieving the Five Elements Unite, their combined might was still extraordinary.

As a result, his squad had a string of victories, having slain many disciples of the Guiyuan Sect.

Today, Zhou Yuan had led his squad out once more.

They, too, were searching for a target.

However, finding a target was no easy task.

Even if they did find a squad from the Guiyuan Sect, defeating them was one thing, but killing them was another matter entirely.

"Captain, our squad has been making a name for itself. Some of the Guiyuan Sect teams just run the moment they see us. It’s getting harder and harder to get a good haul."

Some of the members began to complain.

Of course, Zhou Yuan knew they weren’t truly complaining.

’Joining such a powerful squad guaranteed their safety. Who wouldn’t be happy about that?’

Zhou Yuan was confident that with his squad’s current strength, they could surround and kill even someone from the Inner Force Bounty List, provided that person was alone.

Suddenly, Zhou Yuan looked up and saw a figure speeding toward them.

"Captain, it’s a lone wolf!"

Zhou Yuan’s squad members weren’t afraid.

On the contrary, they were thrilled.

A lone wolf!

And a lone wolf in broad daylight, no less.

That was a rare sight.

And they had just happened to run into one.

"Captain, for a lone wolf to charge straight at us... he must be incredibly confident. You don’t think he’s a Martial Artist on the Inner Force Bounty List, do you?"

At the mention of the "Inner Force Bounty List," the squad members’ eyes lit up.

Anyone on the Inner Force Bounty List was worth three hundred merit points.

That was far more than an ordinary Inner Force Martial Artist was worth.

Zhou Yuan, however, frowned.

He was cautious by nature.

"For someone to charge our squad all by himself, his strength cannot be underestimated,"

Zhou Yuan said in a low voice.

He wanted to retreat.

One couldn’t afford to be overconfident on the battlefield.

Those who were too confident rarely met a good end.

"Captain, which of the Martial Artists on the Inner Force Chart isn’t brimming with confidence? Which one of them hasn’t charged an Inner Force squad before? Besides, we’re no ordinary Inner Force squad."

"That’s right, Captain. If he dares to come, he’s just delivering merit points to us. Besides, even if he is a Martial Artist on the Inner Force Chart, our squad is strong enough to surround and kill him!"

"Captain, stop hesitating! He’s almost on top of us..."

His squad members urged him on.

They were too eager to earn merit points.

If that lone wolf was really on the Inner Force Chart, killing him would earn them three hundred merit points. That was sixty points for each of them.

For the squad members, that was a handsome reward.

"Fine! We’re not leaving! Form the Five Elements Array and kill him!"

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Yuan made his decision.

The men immediately began to form the array.

The Five Elements Sect had the Five Elements Array. It could be formed simply by gathering Martial Artists who used the Five Elements Cultivation Technique.

But while forming the array was easy, unleashing its full power was not.

It required exceptionally precise coordination.

Many squads couldn’t manage it.

But Zhou Yuan’s squad could.

Everyone’s coordination was seamless, greatly increasing the power of their Five Elements Array.

This was the source of their confidence in being able to kill a Martial Artist from the Inner Force Chart.

"He’s here! Get ready..."

The words had barely left Zhou Yuan’s mouth.

SHING.

The opposing Martial Artist instantly drew his sword.

The sword flashed, and a faint sound of wind and thunder echoed from it.

Fast!

It was simply too fast!

Before their eyes, the world seemed to instantly fill with sword afterimages.

Every single afterimage was terrifying.

Zhou Yuan’s heart sank.

’This Swordsmanship... I think I’ve heard of it somewhere before.’

’Wait a minute... the sound of wind and thunder, the sky filled with sword afterimages... He’s the number one on the Inner Force Bounty List—Zhang Su!’

Zhou Yuan was utterly horrified.

’Zhang Su...’

’The man ranked first on the Inner Force Bounty List!’

’Crucially, Zhang Su was capable of killing a Half-Step Huajin Martial Artist in a direct confrontation.’

’And Zhang Su’s bounty was much higher than that of any other Martial Artist on the Inner Force Chart.’

’A full one thousand merit points!’

’A bounty that high didn’t bring Zhou Yuan any joy. Instead, it made his heart clench with dread.’

’Such a high bounty could only mean one thing.’

’Zhang Su was strong!’

’Far, far stronger than any Inner Force Martial Artist.’
