Unrestricted Dao Lord

He took out seven Identity Tokens and tossed them to the Inner Sect Steward.

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

Zhang Su said calmly.

Meanwhile, the Inner Sect Steward’s expression was extremely solemn.

He had clearly also heard of Zhang Su’s incredible feat from the previous night.

It was truly... unbelievable.

Therefore, they were also very eager to see the Identity Tokens Zhang Su had obtained.

Now, the seven Identity Tokens were on the table.

They immediately began to carefully examine the names on each Identity Token, checking them one by one.

"Zhao Yan, disciple of Li Fire Peak, an Inner Force Martial Artist. Thirty merit points."

"He Feng, a Huajin Martial Artist from Ghost Water Peak. One hundred merit points."

"Sikong Shuang, a Huajin Martial Artist from Ghost Water Peak, ranked third on the Huajin bounty list. One thousand merit points."

As the Inner Sect Steward called out name after name,

shockwaves surged through the hearts of many Guiyuan Sect Martial Artists.

He Feng!

Sikong Shuang!

These were all incredibly famous Huajin Martial Artists from the Five Elements Sect.

He Feng was a Huajin Martial Artist whose speed rivaled that of Xie Guanchao. Once he set his sights on you, escape was nothing but a pipe dream.

As for Sikong Shuang, she was even more well-known among the members of the Guiyuan Sect.

After all, as the third-ranked person on the Huajin bounty list, Sikong Shuang had even fought against Zhou Peng before.

Her strength was among the top tier of Huajin Martial Artists.

And yet, both of them had actually died at Zhang Su’s hands?

It was simply... unbelievable!

"So the rumors were true... Zhang Su actually killed He Feng and Sikong Shuang?"

"I heard Bai Jinghong and the others talking about it this morning and thought it was unbelievable, but now it looks like it was all true..."

"Sikong Shuang is dead too? HAHAHA! That woman once ambushed Senior Brother Han Guiyi, leaving him gravely injured. He killed her well! It’s a righteous kill!"

Many disciples of the Guiyuan Sect knew Sikong Shuang.

They had no love for the tall woman who always carried a pitch-black long spear.

Every time they saw Sikong Shuang, she was hunting down Martial Artists of the Guiyuan Sect.

Sikong Shuang made them grind their teeth in hatred, but the Guiyuan Sect had never managed to kill her.

Until now. Zhang Su had killed Sikong Shuang.

After counting the seven Identity Tokens, the Inner Sect Steward announced, "A total of one thousand two hundred and fifty merit points."

Zhang Su nodded.

’With the fifty merit points I had left, my total is now one thousand three hundred.’

’But, this still isn’t enough.’

’I still need more merit points.’

"Zhang Su, Elder Wang wants to see you."

Just then, Xie Guanchao arrived.

He had a complicated look in his eyes.

He had seen the entire scene just now.

’Seven Identity Tokens.’

’And Sikong Shuang was among them.’

’That madwoman who was always hunting me is finally dead.’

’Killed by Zhang Su.’

Zhang Su then followed behind Xie Guanchao, walking toward Wang Dakui’s residence.

"Sikong Shuang... is she really dead?"

Xie Guanchao couldn’t help but ask.

Even though he had already seen Sikong Shuang’s Identity Token, it all still felt so unreal.

’How long has it been?’

’Just a month.’

’Zhang Su has gone from killing Jiang Taizhen to now killing Sikong Shuang.’

’It’s simply... inconceivable!’

Zhang Su glanced at Xie Guanchao.

"Yes. Sikong Shuang... was very strong. But she’s dead now. My last sword strike slit her throat."

After speaking, Zhang Su walked straight into Wang Dakui’s house,

leaving Xie Guanchao behind with a complicated expression.

"HAHAHA, good lad! I never thought that after returning to the Mountain Gate to cultivate in seclusion for a month, you would bring this old man such a huge surprise! He Feng and Sikong Shuang, you killed them both. Does this mean you’ve broken through to Inner Force?"

The moment Wang Dakui saw Zhang Su, he burst into laughter, his eyes filled with delight.

That pair, Sikong Shuang and He Feng, were an absolute menace on the battlefield.

They caused a great deal of trouble for the Guiyuan Sect.

But the Guiyuan Sect simply had no way to deal with them.

Wang Dakui never would have imagined that Sikong Shuang and He Feng would die at Zhang Su’s hands.

’There’s only one explanation, then.’

’Inner Force!’

’Zhang Su must have broken through to Inner Force!’

Hearing Wang Dakui’s words, Zhang Su nodded and said, "The Cultivation in the Fire Melting Cave was very effective. I had a chance breakthrough."

"A chance breakthrough? The Great Trifusion, with all three of its Unparalleled Divine Techniques brought to Perfection? That’s no ’chance’..."

Wang Dakui shook his head.

He knew Zhang Su was just being modest.

"Zhang Su, your current strength is top-tier even among Huajin Martial Artists, but you still need to be wary of one person."

"Who?"

"The man ranked first on the Huajin bounty list, Dugu Jian! This person... is anything but ordinary!"

Zhang Su knew of Dugu Jian.

’He’s number one on the Huajin bounty list, after all. How could I not know of him?’

"I understand. If I can’t beat him, I’ll run. I still remember your reminder, Elder."

"Good. As long as you know."

Wang Dakui waved his hand dismissively, and Zhang Su took his leave.

Just as he left Wang Dakui’s residence, Zhang Su saw not only Xie Guanchao but also Zhou Peng waiting outside.

The two seemed to be discussing something.

"Senior Brother Zhou."

Zhang Su greeted Zhou Peng.

He was fairly familiar with Zhou Peng.

When Zhou Peng saw Zhang Su, his eyes lit up. He said with a smile, "Ah, it’s Junior Brother Zhang. I was just about to go with Junior Brother Xie to visit Senior Brother Han."

"You mean Senior Brother Han Guiyi?"

Zhang Su asked.

"That’s right. Senior Brother Han Guiyi was ambushed and seriously injured by people from the Five Elements Sect. He’s recuperating now."

’Back during my fight with Jiang Taizhen,’ Zhang Su recalled, ’Han Guiyi was hiding in the shadows. He even drew his blade, but Dugu Jian blocked him.’

’But Han Guiyi had indeed tried to lend me a hand.’

’Besides, I want to ask Han Guiyi just how strong Dugu Jian from the Five Elements Sect really is.’

’After all, they say that once Dugu Jian strikes, he leaves no one alive.’
