Having run into Zhang Su, any thought of an ambush was out of the question.
All they could do was run!
Run as far as they possibly could!
"He’s Zhang Su! Retreat, quickly..."
Zhou Yuan shouted.
But it was too late.
THUMP.
The terrifying power of the Twelve Layers Killing Sword, combined with Little Three Yang Power, landed squarely on one of the Martial Artists.
The Martial Artist’s entire body shuddered violently.
He felt a powerful force reverberating through his body.
Blood streamed from his nose, ears, and eyes.
THUD.
He collapsed to the ground.
He couldn’t withstand even a single strike; Zhang Su had killed him with pure concussive force.
Once the Five Elements Array was short one person, the formation became completely useless.
SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH.
Zhang Su unleashed four consecutive thrusts.
Every sword strike was blindingly fast.
To his keen senses, without the Five Elements Array’s protection, the four Inner Force Martial Artists were riddled with openings.
He didn’t even need to use the Twelve Layers Killing Sword.
At a time like this, the Fast Sword was the most efficient method of slaughter.
With roars like wind and thunder, sprays of blood erupted one after another.
Suddenly, Zhang Su stopped.
Zhou Yuan and the other three Martial Artists all stared with wide eyes.
They clutched desperately at their throats.
But no matter how hard they pressed, they couldn’t stop the blood gushing from the wounds.
The four of them collapsed to the ground.
There were now five corpses on the ground.
With a calm expression, Zhang Su took the five Identity Tokens and tucked them into his clothes.
Then, he immediately dipped his sword in the blood and wrote a message on the ground.
"Jiang Taizhen, tonight at the ninth hour, we settle the score at the Drum Tower."
Finally, he signed it: Zhang Su.
The Drum Tower was right near the Guiyuan Sect’s encampment.
If Jiang Taizhen could leave a note on Shen Mo’s body to issue a challenge, then he could use the blood of Five Elements Sect disciples to write one of his own.
Zhang Su wanted to kill Jiang Taizhen, but not in Jiang Taizhen’s way. He would do it in his own way!
’Five people... It’s still not enough!’
The fire in Zhang Su’s heart was still burning.
Burning ever stronger.
The blood of five Inner Force Martial Artists was not enough to extinguish the fire in his heart!
CLICK.
Zhang Su sheathed his sword. His figure flickered, and he resumed his search for Five Elements Sect Martial Artists.
Soon, Zhang Su found a second team.
They were a smaller group, with only three people.
But Zhang Su didn’t hesitate at all.
SHING!
He drew his sword again.
These three Inner Force Martial Artists were not even as strong as the previous five.
Zhang Su didn’t even need to unleash his Little Three Yang Power; he killed the three of them relying only on his Wind and Thunder Sword Technique.
’Keep going.’
Zhang Su continued his search.
Soon, he found a third team.
This time, the team had five Inner Force Martial Artists.
’Kill!’
Zhang Su charged toward the five Inner Force Martial Artists.
These five Inner Force Martial Artists were extremely cautious.
The moment they saw Zhang Su charging, they immediately tried to flee.
They didn’t want to clash head-on with Zhang Su.
However, Zhang Su’s Body Technique was too fast.
If they had fought head-on, they might have been able to last a little longer.
But since they chose to flee, Zhang Su cut them down as easily as slaughtering chickens. He executed his Body Technique, and with each light swing of his Cold Frost Sword, another Inner Force Martial Artist fell.
Soon, these five also lay in a pool of blood.
Three teams, thirteen Inner Force Martial Artists. Aside from the first team, which lasted a little longer thanks to the Five Elements Grand Array, the other two teams were utterly crushed.
Zhang Su was simply reaping lives!
Afterward, Zhang Su once again used his sword, dipped it in blood, and wrote the same words on the ground.
This was his response to Jiang Taizhen.
It was also a challenge!
He had wiped out three teams from the Five Elements Sect.
He had written three messages, which was equivalent to sending Jiang Taizhen three written challenges!
WHOOSH.
Just then, a sharp, piercing sound tore through the air.
Zhang Su’s pupils contracted.
It was that black spear again.
This time, he got a clear look at Sikong Shuang.
Her face was crimson with rage.
However, she wasn’t with He Feng this time. She was alone.
Zhang Su’s figure drifted lightly, and he immediately dodged the black spear.
He didn’t even spare Sikong Shuang a glance.
He turned and left, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Sikong Shuang glanced at the five corpses on the ground.
Her eyes were practically spewing fire.
Five more were dead.
She had already seen two other teams, eight corpses in total.
Adding these five, that made thirteen corpses in all.
That represented thirteen Inner Force Martial Artists.
’They were all elites of the Five Elements Sect!’
In just a single morning, thirteen people had died. The losses were catastrophic!
"Zhang Su!"
Sikong Shuang gritted her teeth.
She had, of course, seen the words written in blood on the ground.
Previously, Zhang Su had killed a total of thirteen Inner Force Martial Artists over ten days, always following a cautious strategy of killing only one person per day.
But today, he had acted completely out of character, killing thirteen Inner Force Martial Artists in a single day.
Sikong Shuang didn’t need to be a genius to figure out that Jiang Taizhen must have provoked Zhang Su.
But probably no one could have expected that a provoked Zhang Su would become so crazed.
’Could it be that Shen Mo, the one killed by Jiang Taizhen, was a good friend of Zhang Su’s?’
’Hmph. Jiang Taizhen started this mess. He can damn well solve it himself.’
Sikong Shuang immediately headed back toward the Five Elements Sect’s encampment.
...
「Drum Tower Street, Guiyuan Sect Encampment.」
Many Martial Artists were either preparing to go out and fight or getting ready to return to the encampment.
Suddenly, a figure landed just outside the encampment.
Everyone’s gaze instantly fell upon that figure.
Standard Night Clothes.
An iconic longsword.
Many people even knew the name of this sword.
Its name was Cold Frost.
Because everyone knew the identity of this figure.
Zhang Su!
Inner Sect Three-star Disciple.
Number one on the Five Elements Sect’s Inner Force bounty list!
