Su Xiaobai showed no mercy toward his enemies.
He knew perfectly well that if he were standing on the other side today, as the weaker party, he would never receive anyone's mercy or compassion... In this world of the strong preying on the weak, everything was absolute darkness and cruelty!
Su Xiaobai searched both corpses from head to toe and took away some of the most valuable items.
It had to be said—the treatment afforded by a major lineage was truly generous.
Su Xiaobai had looted a pile of good things from the two Advanced Martial Masters.
"Microscopic Level Body Tempering Technique... Microscopic Level Weapon Technique... and even an entry-level Attribute Technique... There's quite a lot of good stuff!"
Wasn't that what one expected from a major lineage?
They were carrying several Microscopic Level Techniques alone... On the market, these could fetch several million in the blink of an eye!
The weapons were also worth a great deal, each one more valuable than the last.
Unfortunately, the weapons couldn't be converted into cash. The moment he did that, he would expose himself.
After finishing the looting, Su Xiaobai raised his head, looked toward where Zhang Hengde was hiding, and called out:
"Second Master, aren't you coming out?"
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it reached Zhang Hengde's ears perfectly.
Zhang Hengde was startled into a violent shudder.
He did not dare delay. His figure swiftly swept over like a shadow.
"Advanced Warrior!"
The instant he drew near and sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations from Su Xiaobai, his heart was once again thrown into a stormy sea!
The last time he had sensed Su Xiaobai's aura, he had clearly been only a Beginner Warrior.
Yet in just one month, he had already reached the Advanced Warrior level!
Such terrifying speed of advancement made Zhang Hengde break out in a cold sweat.
But what frightened him even more was that... Su Xiaobai had actually used the cultivation of an Advanced Warrior to slay two Advanced Martial Masters in near-total crushing fashion!
If he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it, even if someone beat him to death!
"Zhang Hengde pays his respects to Guest Elder Su!"
Zhang Hengde hurriedly bowed and saluted with great respect.
This was the second time he had formally and respectfully saluted Su Xiaobai... The first had been at the Zhang Family, when he had been unwilling and had done it purely out of regard for the Zhang Family's etiquette.
But this time, he was completely convinced, filled with awe and trepidation, and saluted Su Xiaobai with genuine sincerity!
He also stole a glance at the Advanced Martial Master who lay dead on the ground.
Even at the moment of death, his eyes had been filled with terror and despair.
This Advanced Martial Master's strength was clearly greater than that of his elder brother, Zhang Henglong!
Yet even so, he had still been completely helpless in Su Xiaobai's hands... At the thought, Zhang Hengde's heart could not help but tremble.
Just how strong was Guest Elder Su?
"Second Master, sorry for the trouble. Take care of these two corpses."
Su Xiaobai flicked the Dagger Blade with one finger, shaking all the blood from its edge.
"Guest Elder Su, what are you saying? It's only right, only right!"
Zhang Hengde nodded and bowed, having completely lost the overbearing swagger of the Zhang Family's Second Master.
Because he knew that as long as Su Xiaobai wished, he could kill him in the blink of an eye... No, not merely him, but the entire Zhang Family!
"Also, you don't need to go to my house anymore from now on."
Su Xiaobai spoke indifferently.
"Understood! Understood!"
Zhang Hengde answered repeatedly.
Just as he had expected, Su Xiaobai had discovered him long ago. He simply had not exposed him...
"Handle it cleanly. Don't leave a trace."
"Rest assured. I'll take care of everything!"
Then, under Zhang Hengde's watchful gaze, Su Xiaobai shot away with explosive speed, moving so quickly that Zhang Hengde could only click his tongue in amazement.
Only after Su Xiaobai's figure had vanished completely did Zhang Hengde finally come back to himself.
"Too strong... Too strong..."
As Zhang Hengde dealt with the corpses, he could not stop muttering.
His mind continued to replay every scene that had just occurred... The shock refused to fade!
Inside the Precious Pill Pavilion.
"Beep... beep... beep..."
Listening to the busy tone from the other end of the Communicator, Lin Chen's expression turned ugly.
Clearly, the two Advanced Martial Masters he had sent had run into trouble!
They had most likely already been killed.
That Master Bai was clearly only an Intermediate Warrior. Was it possible for him to kill two Advanced Martial Masters...? The only possibility was that a powerful expert was protecting him!
"Fifth-Grade Pill Alchemist, you dare kill my people... You're courting death!"
In such a situation, ordinary people would generally feel apprehensive.
But Lin Chen's fury was instead stoked.
As the grandson of a Martial Marshal and the future heir of the Lin Family, he had always been proud to the point of arrogance... And with Lin Futian as his colossal backer, Lin Chen was even more reckless and unrestrained!
The fact that he had sent people to follow an Alchemist was proof enough.
If it had been a Sixth-Rank or Seventh-Rank Alchemist, he might truly have been afraid to act recklessly... But a Fifth-Grade Pill Alchemist was not enough to make him shrink back!
"I want to see exactly what sort of divine figure is backing that fellow!"
Lin Chen's gaze was vicious.
After keeping Spatial Perception active all the way and confirming that no one was following him anymore, Su Xiaobai finally returned home safely.
"My strength is now enough to kill an Advanced Martial Master!"
Su Xiaobai felt completely at ease.
He was clearly at the Advanced Warrior level, yet he could kill an Advanced Martial Master!
Even Su Xiaobai himself found it somewhat dreamlike.
But precisely because he possessed such strength, he no longer needed to hide and skulk around or be cautious at every turn... He could walk openly down the streets with his head held high!
Of course, he still had to restrain his realm's aura slightly.
An Advanced Warrior at not even � years old would be far too conspicuous.
"I have �.6 hundred million now. I can upgrade again!"
Su Xiaobai rubbed his fists, eager to begin.
Over two hundred million!
Even for an Advanced Warrior, such enormous wealth was an unimaginable fortune!
"Never mind the rest. I'll upgrade Automated Monster Hunting first!"
"While I'm at it, I can see what additional functions Level 5 Automated Monster Hunting unlocks!"
Su Xiaobai immediately issued the command to the system.
"Upgrade complete!"
As the system notification sounded, and after deducting the whole � ten-thousand, a fifth Shadow appeared in the Automated Monster Hunting space.
The moment the fifth Shadow appeared, the system automatically dispatched it to the designated area to hunt monsters.
Ding! Automated Monster Hunting space upgraded by � level. Additional function [Weapon Wielding] unlocked! [Weapon Wielding]: Shadow can use weapons!
PS:
(Thanks to book friend "Sun Xiaodong" for the reward, and thanks to everyone who sent urging votes. They've filled me with motivation! I saw someone in the review section say that my updates are slow. In fact, I update four chapters and eight thousand words a day, which isn't slow at all. It's just that, because of the public-release period, I can't update too much. Everything will be fine after the book goes on sale. By then, I'll update as much as I want and let everyone read to their heart's content in one go, haha!)
