Su Xiaobai felt no pity toward his enemies.
He understood very well that if he were standing on the opposite side today, as the weaker party, he would receive no mercy or compassion from anyone either... in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, everything was absolute darkness and cruelty!
Su Xiaobai searched both corpses thoroughly, taking away the most valuable items.
He had to admit, the treatment of a major clan was indeed generous.
From these two Advanced Martial Masters, Su Xiaobai dug out a pile of good things.
"Microscopic Level Body Tempering Technique... Microscopic Level Weapon Technique... and an introductory Attribute Technique... quite a haul!"
What else could you expect from a big family?
Just what they carried on them included several Microscopic Level techniques... on the market, these could sell for millions in no time!
And those weapons, each one was worth a fortune too.
Unfortunately, the weapons couldn't be liquidated—once sold, they'd expose him.
After finishing the search, Su Xiaobai raised his head, looked toward where Zhang Hengde was hiding, and said:
"Second Head, still not coming out?"
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it reached Zhang Hengde's ears just fine.
Zhang Hengde was startled into a shiver.
He didn't dare delay, and his figure swiftly flickered over.
"Advanced Warrior!"
As soon as he got close and sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations from Su Xiaobai, another massive wave of shock surged through his heart!
The last time he'd felt Su Xiaobai's aura, he was clearly only a Beginner Warrior.
And now, in just a month's time, he'd already reached Advanced Warrior!
Such a speed of advancement made cold sweat break out on Zhang Hengde's back.
But what terrified him even more was... Su Xiaobai, at the Advanced Warrior realm, had cut down two Advanced Martial Masters in a near-overwhelming fashion!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it no matter what!
"Zhang Hengde pays respects to Guest Elder Su!"
Zhang Hengde quickly bowed in respectful greeting.
This was the second time he had bowed to Su Xiaobai so formally and respectfully... the first time was at the Zhang Family, when he'd done it reluctantly, purely out of family etiquette.
But this time, it came from the heart, filled with reverence, fear, and sincerity—he bowed to Su Xiaobai with genuine devotion!
He also glanced at the dead Advanced Martial Master on the ground.
Even in death, his eyes were filled with terror and despair.
And this Advanced Martial Master's strength was clearly greater than his elder brother Zhang Henglong's!
Yet even so, he had no power to resist against Su Xiaobai... thinking of this, Zhang Hengde couldn't help but tremble inside.
Just how strong was Guest Elder Su!
"Second Head, I'll trouble you to dispose of these two bodies."
Su Xiaobai flicked his finger against the Dagger Blade, shaking off all the blood on it.
"Guest Elder Su, what are you saying? It's my duty, my duty!"
Zhang Hengde bowed and scraped, completely lacking the overbearing arrogance of the Zhang Family's Second Head.
Because he knew that if Su Xiaobai wanted to, he could kill him in an instant... no, not just him, but the entire Zhang Family!
"Also, from now on, you don't need to come to my house anymore."
Su Xiaobai said calmly.
"Understood! Understood!"
Zhang Hengde nodded repeatedly.
Just as he had guessed, Su Xiaobai had long noticed him, but simply hadn't called him out until now...
"Dispose of them cleanly. Leave no traces."
"Rest assured, I'll handle everything properly!"
Then, under Zhang Hengde's watchful gaze, Su Xiaobai's figure burst forward, moving so fast that Zhang Hengde's tongue clucked in amazement.
Only after Su Xiaobai's figure had completely disappeared did Zhang Hengde finally snap back to reality.
"Too strong... too strong..."
Zhang Hengde muttered to himself as he handled the bodies.
His mind kept replaying everything that had just happened... 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, both of the Advanced Martial Masters he had dispatched had met with accidents!
And they were most likely already dead.
That Master Bai, clearly just an Intermediate Warrior—was it possible for him to kill two Advanced Martial Masters? The only possibility was that this Master Bai had a strong protector behind him!
"A Fifth-Grade Pill Alchemist, daring to kill my people... seeking death!"
Normally, encountering such a situation, most people would be cautious.
But Lin Chen was instead ignited with fury.
As the grandson of a Martial Marshal and the future heir of the Lin family, he had always been proud at heart... especially relying on Lin Futian as his massive backing, Lin Chen was even more reckless!
This could be seen from the fact that he had people tail the alchemist.
If it were a Sixth-Rank or Seventh-Rank Alchemist, he might not dare to act rashly... but a Fifth-Grade Pill Alchemist was not enough to make him back off!
"I want to see just what kind of divine being is behind that guy!"
Lin Chen's eyes were fierce.
After activating Spatial Perception all the way and confirming that no one was following him anymore, Su Xiaobai finally returned home safely.
"My current strength is enough to kill Advanced Martial Masters!"
Su Xiaobai felt greatly reassured.
An Advanced Warrior in realm, yet capable of killing Advanced Martial Masters!
Even Su Xiaobai himself found it somewhat surreal.
But precisely because he possessed such strength, Su Xiaobai no longer needed to hide or be overly cautious... he could walk down the street with his head held high!
Of course, he still had to slightly suppress his realm aura.
An Advanced Warrior at this age was still a bit too eye-catching.
"I have about 1.6 billion now, enough for another upgrade wave!"
Su Xiaobai rubbed his hands together eagerly.
Over two billion!
Such a massive fortune was an unimaginable sum even for an Advanced Warrior!
"First things first, let's upgrade Automated Monster Hunting!"
"And while I'm at it, I can see what new extra features level 5 Automated Monster Hunting unlocks!"
Su Xiaobai immediately gave the order to the system.
"Upgrade complete!"
With the system's prompt sound, after deducting a full ten thousand, a fifth shadow appeared in the Automated Monster Hunting space.
As soon as the fifth shadow emerged, it was automatically dispatched by the system to the designated area to hunt monsters.
"Ding! Automated Monster Hunting space upgraded by one level, unlocking new extra feature [Weapon Wielding]!"
"[Weapon Wielding]: Shadows can use weapons!"

(Thanks to fellow reader "Sun Xiaodong" for the tip, and thanks to everyone for the urging votes, which filled me with motivation! I see some in the comment section saying my updates are slow. Actually, I update four times a day for eight thousand words, which isn't slow. It's just that due to the public release period, I can't update too much. Everything will be fine once it's published. Then I can update as much as I want, letting everyone binge-read to their heart's content, haha!)
