Unrestricted Dao Lord

Zhang Su’s gaze looked past Wang Hai.

Wang Hai seemed to know what Zhang Su was looking for.

He sneered, "Don’t bother looking. They’re not here. Besides, even if they were, do you think they’d still help you?"

"To be honest, it was Du Tian and the other two who came to me. As if I wouldn’t see through their petty schemes. They just wanted to use me to teach you a lesson, but I don’t mind."

Looking at Wang Hai’s vicious expression, Zhang Su understood.

’So it was Du Tian and the others...’

No wonder Du Tian and the other two had seemed so eager for him to go out earlier.

’They had already found Wang Hai, wanting to teach me a lesson.’

To think that over the past year, Zhang Su had given all his good things to Du Tian and the other two.

And in the end...

’This is human nature!’

"You can only blame that live-in son-in-law brother of yours! It’s been a year, and I’m still fuming! If I don’t teach you a harsh lesson, I’ll never be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"

Wang Hai said hatefully.

It seemed he truly despised Zhang Su’s older brother.

Suddenly, Zhang Su smiled.

His eyes narrowed slightly. "Has anyone ever told you something?"

"What?"

"You talk too much..."

At these words, Wang Hai flew into a rage.

"You..."

But before Wang Hai could finish, Zhang Su’s hand was on his sword hilt.

SHING.

The crisp sound of a sword being drawn reached Wang Hai’s ears.

Zhang Su had drawn his sword.

The Cold Frost Sword he had just exchanged for was being unsheathed for the first time!

In an instant, a dazzling white light flashed.

"A mere first layer of the Qi Blood Realm dares to draw his sword against me?"

Although Wang Hai was furious, he wasn’t panicked.

He was at the Third Layer of the Qi Blood Realm, after all.

Furthermore, his skill in Swordsmanship was extremely high.

He also drew his sword in an instant.

But when he took a closer look, his vision blurred. ’Where did Zhang Su’s sword go?’

No, it hadn’t disappeared.

It had transformed into six sword shadows.

’But how can there be six sword shadows?’

’Which one is real?’

’Which ones are fake?’

He couldn’t tell.

He couldn’t tell at all.

Moreover, Zhang Su’s strike was so fast that it arrived in the blink of an eye.

Wang Hai almost instinctively executed his own swordsmanship, creating a flurry of sword movements in front of him in an attempt to block Zhang Su’s attack.

CLANG CLANG CLANG.

Wang Hai felt a violent tremor run through the sword in his hand.

He felt as if three swords had stabbed viciously against his own blade.

’I blocked it!’

Wang Hai’s heart leaped with joy.

But the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

"Ah..."

Immediately after, three sprays of blood burst from his hands and leg.

THUD.

Wang Hai dropped to one knee.

The sword in his hand also fell to the ground with a CLANG.

"You just cultivated Qi Blood, how can you be so strong? And I clearly blocked your sword..."

Wang Hai simply couldn’t believe his eyes.

He was at the Third Layer of the Qi Blood Realm!

And Zhang Su?

According to Du Tian and the others, Zhang Su had only just managed to cultivate Qi Blood half a month ago.

CLICK.

Zhang Su sheathed his sword.

He didn’t explain himself to Wang Hai.

’Blocked his sword?’

’Indeed, Wang Hai had blocked three strikes.’

’But his Nine Shadows Sword Technique had already reached Great Success, allowing him to create six shadows with one strike.’

’All six of those sword shadows were real.’

’Even going all out, Wang Hai had only managed to block three of them.’

The commotion here was a bit loud.

After all, swords had been drawn.

As a result, many Outer Disciples had gathered.

Seeing this scene, some of the Outer Disciples’ pupils contracted, and they felt a shock in their hearts.

"It’s Wang Hai and Zhang Su. Didn’t Zhang Su fail to cultivate Qi Blood for a whole year? How could he injure Wang Hai, who’s at the Third Layer of the Qi Blood Realm?"

"I watched the whole fight just now. If I’m not mistaken, what Zhang Su used was the Nine Shadows Sword Technique, and it has already reached Great Success. He can create six shadows with one strike."

"Six shadows with one strike? Amazing! Zhang Su has such high talent in Swordsmanship? Many Martial Artists practice the sword for years and can’t achieve that."

"Wang Hai could block three of Zhang Su’s sword shadows, but he couldn’t block six with one strike! He didn’t lose unjustly..."

"Zhang Su... he has a bit of a reputation, but his older brother’s is even greater. After all, he’s the infamous live-in son-in-law of the Su Family... Who would have thought that Zhang Su was hiding such exceptional swordsmanship?"

Zhang Su didn’t kill Wang Hai.

This was because the Guiyuan Sect had a rule: disciples could not kill each other.

It was permissible to fight when there were conflicts, but no one was allowed to die or be maimed.

Once someone died or was crippled, the punishment would be severe!

Zhang Su’s three strikes just now were merely a lesson for Wang Hai, not enough to maim him.

But it was enough to force Wang Hai to recuperate for ten days to half a month.

Zhang Su ignored the crowd’s discussions.

He quickly disappeared into the crowd.

’Swordsmanship at Great Success is even more powerful than I imagined!’

In reality, Zhang Su had only used the Nine Shadows Sword Technique.

He hadn’t even used Triple Wave.

Yet, he had easily defeated Wang Hai.

And he was only at the Second Layer of the Qi Blood Realm.

’If I achieve Sword Mastery Perfection, its power will climb to another level!’

Before he knew it, Zhang Su had returned to the Outer Disciple living quarters.

He could even see three figures inside his room.

Du Tian, Zhao Feng, and Chu Dachuan were probably waiting for him to return, battered and humiliated after a harsh lesson from Wang Hai.

CREAK.

Zhang Su pushed the door open and walked in.

Instantly, three pairs of eyes fell upon Zhang Su.

"Zhang Su, you... didn’t you run into Wang Hai?"

The three of them looked very surprised.

Zhang Su appeared completely unscathed.

But they had clearly informed Wang Hai...

"Are you very disappointed?"

Zhang Su walked into the room, step by step.

"Hm? You know?"

Du Tian said in a low voice.

For a moment, the atmosphere immediately grew tense.

"That’s right."

Zhang Su nodded.

Hearing this, the expressions on the three men’s faces shifted erratically.

After a long moment, Du Tian sneered, "So what if you know? Since Wang Hai didn’t teach you a lesson, we’ll do it ourselves! You couldn’t even cultivate Qi Blood for a year, you’re overage, and you only got into the Guiyuan Sect’s Outer Sect through connections. If it wasn’t for all the good things you gave us, I would’ve beaten you up long ago."

Du Tian threw a punch directly.

He specialized in Fist Technique.

Empowered by his Qi Blood, the punch carried immense Momentum.

SHING.

Zhang Su drew his sword.

SWISH SWISH SWISH.

Six sword shadows appeared in the air.

They instantly enveloped Du Tian.

"Ah..."

Du Tian cried out miserably.

His body was slashed by the sword’s edge, blood streaming down, making for a pitiful sight.

"How could..."

The other two’s faces changed drastically.

But Zhang Su immediately followed up with two more strikes.

Each strike produced six sword shadows.

Fast!

It was too fast!

Zhang Su was displaying the "speed" of the Nine Shadows Sword Technique to its fullest!

SPURT.

Zhao Feng was also wounded and fell to the ground.

Only Chu Dachuan remained.

Of the three, only Chu Dachuan was at the Third Layer of the Qi Blood Realm!

Moreover, Chu Dachuan had an advantage.

He also practiced Fast Sword.

CLANG CLANG CLANG.

Fighting speed with speed.

Zhang Su discovered that Chu Dachuan’s Fast Sword had also reached Great Success?

Before this, Chu Dachuan had never revealed that his swordsmanship had reached Great Success.

"You’ve hidden your strength quite well."

Zhang Su said coldly.

Chu Dachuan stared at Zhang Su with shock and suspicion, his voice low. "You’ve hidden it even deeper! I thought you were basically a lost cause after failing to cultivate Qi Blood for a year, but I never expected your talent in Swordsmanship to be so high... Great Success in the Nine Shadows Sword Technique, it’s truly unbelievable!"

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Chu Dachuan would never have believed that Zhang Su had actually achieved Great Success in the Nine Shadows Sword Technique.

"Again!"

Zhang Su once again thrust out a series of sword shadows.

Chu Dachuan also executed his Fast Sword technique.

He relied on his abundant Qi Blood; even in a match of speed against speed, he wasn’t afraid of Zhang Su.

’The one who loses in the end will definitely be Zhang Su.’

But what about Zhang Su?

As time went on, he was indeed falling into a disadvantage.

Yet, he showed no signs of panic.

Instead, he seemed to be "comprehending" something.

"Something’s wrong. Why is your sword getting faster? You even struck with a seventh sword shadow?"

Chu Dachuan seemed to have noticed something.

Zhang Su’s sword was getting faster and faster.

’Could it be that Zhang Su is using me for sword practice?’

This was simply unbelievable.

’Is swordsmanship so easy to break through?’

But the truth was right before his eyes.

Zhang Su’s sword was genuinely getting faster.

Starting from the seventh sword shadow, the sword light suddenly changed.

The sky filled with a dense net of sword shadows, giving one a heart-palpitating feeling.

And Chu Dachuan was horrified beyond belief.

"Nine... nine sword shadows? The Nine Shadows Sword Technique... at Perfection..."

Chu Dachuan’s voice was trembling.

How could he have ever imagined that Zhang Su would actually bring the Nine Shadows Sword Technique to Perfection?

With Zhang Su’s One Sword Nine Shadows, Chu Dachuan could no longer defend himself.

SPURT.

Two sword shadows instantly slashed across his wrists.

CLANG.

His sword fell to the ground.

Chu Dachuan, defeated!
