Unrestricted Dao Lord

There were also recent rumors that the Five Elements Sect had raised the bounty on Zhang Su.

A full one thousand merit points—the same amount the Guiyuan Sect offered for Jiang Taizhen.

However, everyone knew that Zhang Su had always operated at night.

’Why did he go out to kill during the day?’

Moreover, the Night Clothes he wore were drenched in blood.

A thick, metallic stench of blood emanated from him.

"Is Senior Brother Zhang Su injured?"

Some people wondered in alarm.

"No, that blood must belong to someone else. Did Senior Brother Zhang Su go out killing in broad daylight because of Shen Mo?"

The crowd grew thoughtful.

Zhang Su paid no mind to the crowd’s murmurs.

He walked straight toward the Martial Arts Arena.

Soon, Zhang Su arrived at the Martial Arts Arena.

When Zhang Su, reeking of blood, stepped into the Martial Arts Arena, the vast space instantly fell silent.

Nearly everyone’s gaze fell upon him.

His appearance was simply too striking.

Covered in blood.

The murderous aura that washed over them as he walked was enough to make their hearts pound in fear.

Many of them had fought against Martial Artists from the Five Elements Sect in recent days.

They knew all too well that an aura like that couldn’t be forged by killing just one or two people.

Zhang Su ignored their stares.

He went directly to the Inner Sect Steward.

"Steward, I’m here to claim my merit points."

After speaking, he pulled a large handful of Identity Tokens from within his robes.

Not one or two.

A whole handful!

CLATTER.

Over a dozen Identity Tokens clattered onto the table.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

’More than a dozen Identity Tokens?’

That meant more than a dozen Five Elements Sect disciples were dead.

So, the blood all over Zhang Su must have come from those Five Elements Sect disciples he had just slaughtered.

No wonder his murderous aura was so heavy.

’I just wonder how many of those tokens belong to the Five Elements Sect’s Inner Force disciples?’

They guessed that most of them probably belonged to Outer Force disciples from the Five Elements Sect.

The Inner Sect Steward took out a register and began to carefully check them one by one.

One, two, three...

A total of thirteen Identity Tokens.

As the Inner Sect Steward cross-referenced the names represented by the tokens with his register, his shock grew with each one.

Inner Force!

They were all Inner Force!

The owners of the thirteen Identity Tokens Zhang Su brought back were all Inner Force Martial Artists.

This meant that within a single day—or to be more precise, in just one morning—Zhang Su had killed thirteen Inner Force Martial Artists.

Was that even possible?

But the proof was right before their eyes.

The Inner Sect Steward took a deep breath and announced, "Verification complete. All thirteen Identity Tokens belong to Inner Force Martial Artists of the Five Elements Sect. Therefore, Zhang Su, you have earned three hundred and ninety merit points!"

The moment he spoke, the vast Martial Arts Arena erupted in an uproar.

Everyone stared at Zhang Su.

Their eyes were filled with utter disbelief.

’Those thirteen Identity Tokens... all of them were Inner Force Martial Artists?’

"So you’re saying Senior Brother Zhang Su just killed thirteen Inner Force Martial Artists from the Five Elements Sect?"

"That’s... incredible!"

"Thirteen Inner Force Martial Artists... Senior Brother Zhang Su truly lives up to his reputation as the number one target on the Five Elements Sect’s Inner Force bounty list, a major threat they are desperate to eliminate. He used to kill only one Inner Force Martial Artist per day, likely not wanting to draw too much attention. But now..."

"Was it for Shen Mo?"

The crowd didn’t know if Zhang Su had done this for Shen Mo.

However, Jiang Taizhen had killed Shen Mo.

And now, Zhang Su had just killed thirteen Inner Force disciples from the Five Elements Sect in response.

This sent a thrill of excitement through the many disciples of the Guiyuan Sect.

It was so gratifying!

The Five Elements Sect wasn’t the only one with a Jiang Taizhen.

The Guiyuan Sect had Zhang Su!

WHOOSH.

Just then, Xie Guanchao rushed into the Martial Arts Arena.

"Zhang Su, you wiped out three Five Elements Sect teams and left a letter written in blood for Jiang Taizhen, challenging him to a battle tonight?"

"Yes."

Zhang Su admitted it.

It wasn’t a secret anyway.

The news would likely spread throughout the Guiyuan Sect and the Five Elements Sect soon enough.

"Foolish! How could you be so impulsive? Jiang Taizhen... he has achieved Three Meridians Unite. He’s invincible among Inner Force Martial Artists! You..."

Xie Guanchao was frantic.

Perhaps it was because of his connection to Elder Wang.

Or maybe he simply had a soft spot for Zhang Su.

That was why he had rushed to question Zhang Su the moment he heard the news.

However, Xie Guanchao’s words sent shockwaves through everyone in the Martial Arts Arena.

"Zhang Su challenged Jiang Taizhen?"

"So that’s why he killed thirteen Inner Force Martial Artists—to challenge Jiang Taizhen to a battle tonight."

"Hahaha, how satisfying! Challenging Jiang Taizhen with a letter written in the blood of Five Elements Sect disciples... so satisfying!"

At that moment, the Martial Arts Arena was buzzing.

Jiang Taizhen had long been a mountain pressing down on the hearts of all the Guiyuan Sect’s Inner Force Martial Artists.

Triple Meridian Cultivation!

And now, news was spreading that Jiang Taizhen had achieved Three Meridians Unite!

Such a genius was said to be second only to the Five Elements Sect’s Celestial Pride, Shi Buyi.

Whenever the Guiyuan Sect’s Inner Force disciples went out in teams, they feared running into Jiang Taizhen.

One wrong move could mean the entire team being wiped out.

Even the Guiyuan Sect’s Huajin masters had hunted Jiang Taizhen several times.

But no one had been able to do anything to him.

But now, Zhang Su had challenged Jiang Taizhen with a letter written in blood.

It was as if all the disciples could finally release a breath of long-held frustration.

However, this was immediately followed by worry.

With Three Meridians Unite, Jiang Taizhen was unrivaled among those at the Inner Force realm.

Could Zhang Su really be his match?

Or was this a trap set by Zhang Su, designed to lure Jiang Taizhen out so that ambushing Huajin masters could kill him in one fell swoop?

No one knew the specifics.

They all looked toward Zhang Su.

But Zhang Su said nothing.

"Zhang Su... you’ve made your decision?"

At some point, Wang Dakui had arrived at the Martial Arts Arena.

He gazed at Zhang Su with a complicated expression.

"Yes. This disciple has made his decision. I must kill Jiang Taizhen!"

Zhang Su said flatly.

Wang Dakui opened his mouth.

But in the end, he said nothing.

"Fine. Then go and rest. Adjust your condition. Tonight... kill Jiang Taizhen!"

Wang Dakui waved his hand.

He had finally agreed.

"Thank you, Elder."

Zhang Su bowed to Wang Dakui, then turned and left.

The killing intent in his heart had not been extinguished.

Instead, it burned even hotter.

Everything was in place; all that was left was the opportune moment.

He just had to wait for nightfall.

Tonight, Zhang Su would kill Jiang Taizhen in his own way!

No one could save him!

He had spoken.
