Unrestricted Dao Lord

Most of the time, it was two Identity Tokens, representing two Huajin Martial Artists.

"Junior Brother Zhang, you’re here again. Good haul last night?"

Zhou Peng had also arrived early at the Martial Arts Arena.

He had no idea about Zhang Su’s incredible feat from the night before.

He was just making a casual greeting.

"It was alright."

Zhang Su nodded.

But Zhou Peng shook his head and said, "I went out last night too, but I had bad luck. I didn’t run into a single person from the Five Elements Sect and ended up returning empty-handed."

"Huh? Senior Brother Zhou came back empty-handed too? Me too."

"Our squad too. We didn’t encounter anyone."

"What’s going on? Did no one from the Five Elements Sect come out to fight last night?"

"Don’t tell me the Five Elements Sect is getting ready to surrender."

"That... doesn’t feel right. Even if Junior Brother Zhang has been a bit ruthless with his kills lately, it shouldn’t be enough to make the Five Elements Sect surrender. After all, they still have Dugu Jian, and he’s killed quite a few people from our Guiyuan Sect."

Everyone exchanged glances.

As they talked among themselves, they realized it seemed no one had encountered anyone from the Five Elements Sect last night.

Except for Zhang Su.

It seemed Zhang Su was the exception.

Of course, Zhang Su knew what was going on.

However, he had no intention of explaining.

Instead, he walked directly to the Inner Sect Steward, took out eight Tokens, and tossed them onto the table.

CLATTER.

The eight Identity Tokens made a crisp, clattering sound.

The sound drew everyone’s eyes.

"Is that... eight Identity Tokens?"

"Looks like Junior Brother Zhang had a really great haul last night."

"These eight Identity Tokens... are they all from Huajin Martial Artists?"

"Junior Brother Zhang used to kill two people a night. How did he get eight last night? Could it be that many of them were just Inner Force Martial Artists from the Five Elements Sect?"

Everyone was indeed astonished.

Everyone else had returned empty-handed last night. Zhang Su was the only exception.

How had Zhang Su managed such a huge haul?

Although the Inner Sect Steward was a little surprised, he had also grown accustomed to it.

After all, Zhang Su caused a major stir every so often. Eight Identity Tokens wasn’t too outrageous.

So, the steward began checking the registry to calculate Zhang Su’s merit points.

"The first Identity Token... Lin Huan."

The Inner Sect Steward thought the name sounded familiar.

He jerked his head up and saw the second name on the Huajin Bounty List.

"Lin Huan? The one ranked second on the Huajin Bounty List?"

The Inner Sect Steward sucked in a sharp breath.

’He was second only to Dugu Jian!’

’He was ranked even higher than Sikong Shuang.’

’And now, just like Sikong Shuang, he had died at Zhang Su’s hands?’

Meanwhile, the eyes of the crowd in the Martial Arts Arena lit up.

’Lin Huan!’

’He was a big name, too.’

’Even though Lin Huan didn’t seem to seek the spotlight as much as Sikong Shuang did...’

’...he was still ranked second on the bounty list.’

’A solid one thousand merit points.’

’Zhang Su killed Sikong Shuang and then Lin Huan. That’s two thousand merit points right there.’

’Who wouldn’t be envious?’

The Inner Sect Steward picked up the second Identity Token.

"Guo Bing... This name also seems a little familiar."

So, he raised his head and glanced at the Huajin Bounty List again.

Uh...

He saw it.

Ranked third: Guo Bing!

’Another thousand merit points?’

He hurriedly picked up the third Identity Token.

This time, he didn’t even bother checking the registry; he just stared fixedly at the Huajin Bounty List.

Two Identity Tokens in a row from the Huajin Bounty List. The Inner Sect Steward was beginning to feel that something wasn’t right.

Sure enough, the name on the third Identity Token was also on the Huajin Bounty List.

Then the fourth, the fifth, the sixth...

All the way to the eighth!

The Inner Sect Steward had clearly verified all eight Identity Tokens.

On the Huajin Bounty List, apart from the already-dead Sikong Shuang and the terrifyingly powerful Dugu Jian, the Identity Tokens of the remaining eight people were now all on the table.

In other words, Zhang Su, all by himself, had nearly wiped the Huajin Bounty List clean... all except for Dugu Jian.

The other nine had all died at Zhang Su’s hands.

This was simply... unbelievable!

However, the crowd in the Martial Arts Arena was in an even greater uproar.

"All eight of them... were on the Huajin Bounty List?"

"Except for Dugu Jian, the other nine have all been killed by Junior Brother Zhang. It’s... unbelievable!"

"No wonder Junior Brother Zhang said he had a great haul last night. It was enormous! Killing eight top Huajin experts... that’s eight thousand merit points..."

Many people could hardly believe their eyes.

Eight top Huajin experts!

Eight thousand merit points!

They were both shocked and envious.

Many found it hard to imagine just how powerful Zhang Su had become to be able to wipe nine names off the Huajin Bounty List.

Some time ago, when Han Guiyi was grievously wounded, everyone in the Guiyuan Sect had felt their confidence waver.

Even after Zhang Su later killed Sikong Shuang.

They still felt a lack of confidence.

It was because of Dugu Jian, who weighed on everyone’s minds like a great mountain.

But now, Zhang Su had slain eight top Huajin experts in a single night.

And they were all experts from the Huajin Bounty List.

Now, no one in the Guiyuan Sect had the slightest doubt.

Zhang Su could now rival Dugu Jian.

After all, in terms of sheer dominance, not even Dugu Jian had ever single-handedly slain eight top Huajin experts in a row.

A feat like Zhang Su’s was a first since the bloody conflict between the two sects began!

"Junior Brother Zhang, is this all real? You really killed the eight top experts on the Huajin Bounty List?"

Even Zhou Peng couldn’t help but ask.

Even with the Identity Tokens right there before his eyes, he wanted to hear Zhang Su’s confirmation.

"It’s true. Last night, the Five Elements Sect blocked everyone from entering the battleground, so none of you could find anyone. Lin Huan and the other seven were lying in ambush near the Five Elements Sect’s base. I was searching around, and I eventually ran into them, and then..."

Zhang Su didn’t continue.

Because the result was right there before them.

The eight Identity Tokens were proof that those eight top Huajin experts had died at Zhang Su’s hands.

"Hahaha! Good! Well done!"

Zhou Peng roared with laughter.

Just yesterday, Han Guiyi had been advising Zhang Su to be careful, to steer clear of Dugu Jian.

And what does Zhang Su do? He turns around and annihilates the eight top Huajin experts led by Lin Huan.

Not even Han Guiyi could have achieved such a feat!

As of now, Zhang Su had clearly and completely replaced Han Guiyi, becoming the number one Huajin Martial Artist of the Guiyuan Sect!
