Got Rich, Earned 270,000 Gold Coins in One Day

To his dying moment, the Advanced Martial Artist from the Meng Family found it hard to believe that not only was he ambushed, but he was actually ambushed by a Beginner Martial Artist!

He was decapitated and killed before he could even react!

Thus, his eyes remained wide open in death.

Blood Consumption directly collected his corpse and continued the pursuit… a heavily injured C-class Fierce Beast was still a great prize, and he wouldn't let it go!

Meanwhile.

Su Zhan quickly scoured the Space Ring on the Advanced Martial Artist.

Gold Coins, Cultivation Methods, Pills, various materials, Spirit Weapons… they were mostly in the first, second, and third grades… the quantity was also average.

However, Su Zhan roughly calculated that the total value was around 7,000 Gold Coins.

"Not bad!"

"Much better than the last one."

The last Advanced Martial Artist had less than 3,000 Gold Coins in total.

This was practically double.

And compared to hunting Fierce Beasts, killing people was clearly faster and more rewarding!

"No wonder so many Martial Artists like to rob and steal, ambushing for treasures, this is how you get rich quick!"

Hunting Fierce Beasts was stable, without major fluctuations; the stronger you were, the higher the rewards.

Hunting Martial Artists was extremely unstable, but then again, any one of them could be someone else's savings accumulated over years or even decades, enough for you to strike it rich overnight!

The only trouble was the immense risk involved… being killed in return was one thing, but if you accidentally ran into a tough opponent, or someone with a strong background, you might just lose your life.

But this was precisely what Su Zhan wasn't worried about.

They were all Cultivation Avatars; if they were killed, they were killed.

No matter how powerful you were, even with a Martial Marshal-level background, they wouldn't be able to find him!

"Ding! Basic Qi and Blood Method wishes to devour the corpse of one of your Advanced Martial Artists. Do you permit it?"

"Permit!"

An Advanced Martial Artist, how many times the multiplier would it provide?

"Ding! Basic Qi and Blood Method has devoured the corpse of one of your Advanced Martial Artists. Cultivation speed increased by 2x!"

2x.

It was only 1x more than a C-class Fierce Beast of the same level, not high… after all, hunting Fierce Beasts was much less difficult than hunting Martial Artists, and the quantity also differed greatly.

The biggest benefit was snatching treasures, and then making use of the corpses.

Fierce Beast Flesh could still be sold for money… but who would dare sell Warrior Flesh?

"I can kill people, snatch treasures, and even use the corpses to directly increase my multiplier. This deal is worthwhile!"

"Continue, from now on, the Meng Family will be my mobile vault!"

Su Zhan's lips curved into a smile.

"Up, up, up, up, up!"

"This Nine Giant White Bear is just one hit away!"

"Once we take it down, we'll make a big profit!"

A group of Martial Artists wearing Meng Family attire were besieging a Nine Giant White Bear.

A total of eight people, two Advanced Martial Artists, three Intermediate Martial Artists, and three Beginner Martial Artists… forming a small team to grind monsters here.

BOOM!

As the Nine Giant White Bear fell, raising a cloud of dust, all the Martial Artists cheered.

The leading Advanced Martial Artist was overjoyed. Just as he was about to stab the Nine Giant White Bear's heart to check for Essence Blood, a figure suddenly descended.

"Who is it?!"

The Intermediate and Beginner Martial Artists became vigilant.

The figure was wearing a black cloak and a mask, not revealing even a sliver of skin.

"What's all the fuss about?"

"It's just a Beginner Martial Artist, what's there to be afraid of?"

The leading Advanced Martial Artist said disdainfully, "Just kill him, he's an eyesore!"

The cloaked figure remained silent, then with a sweep of his hand, he collected the Nine Giant White Bear.

This enraged the Advanced Martial Artist: "Stealing my spoils? Are you tired of living?"

Just as he charged forward, the cloaked figure suddenly swung his saber, and a bloody saber energy grazed past him.

The Advanced Martial Artist's body, propelled by inertia, split perfectly in half from the brow, falling to either side of the cloaked figure. Blood stained the earth.

Everyone around them instantly showed looks of terror.

"The... Captain is dead?!"

"With one strike?!"

"Wasn't he just a Beginner Martial Artist?!"

"Run, quick, run!!"

All the martial artists panicked, turning to flee immediately.

The black cloak flicked the long saber in his hand, then decisively charged forward.

In just a few minutes.

All the Meng Family martial artists lay dead.

"Too weak, not satisfying."

Kuang Xue shook his head in displeasure.

His personality was to charge headfirst, regardless of whether he could win, he'd fight first!

He removed their Space Rings, then began to devour the corpses one by one.

Because he had an Elite Grade Technique, the effect was only 1x.

"The acceleration effect is passable, better than fierce beasts. This is boring, I need to find some stronger ones to deal with!"

Kuang Xue continued to roam.

Meanwhile.

"Not bad, Kuang Xue, you took out eight people in one go!"

"The value adds up to nearly twenty thousand!"

Su Zhan praised.

It had only been less than an hour.

He had already harvested nearly 30,000 Gold Coins.

If this momentum continued, he could earn at least two to three hundred thousand Gold Coins a day?

Earning two to three hundred thousand Gold Coins a day... hiss~~

Just thinking about it felt amazing!

"Ding! Gilded Jade Body harvested a Middle-grade Martial Artist corpse!"

"Ding! Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Saber harvested an Advanced Martial Artist corpse!"

"Ding! Bloodthirsty Rampage harvested an Advanced Martial Artist corpse!"

"..."

After this, Su Zhan's mind would receive harvest notifications periodically.

At first, he was quite interested, painstakingly prying open each Space Ring, counting the treasures and their value. He'd complain about the small amounts and get excited about the large ones... Later, as the quantity gradually increased and the harvest frequency quickened, Su Zhan simply left them for later, calculating and processing them all together after half an hour or an hour.

Su Zhan was living a comfortable and leisurely life.

But at the Meng Family stronghold, everyone was on high alert!

One of the Meng Family's fierce beast strongholds.

A stronghold, to put it simply, was a temporary small town, a temporary village.

Don't underestimate its size; it had everything one could need... even entertainment that couldn't be found in Sky City. You could indulge in any desire, as bold or as unrestrained as you wished.

As long as you paid the "ticket price" and the "hunting fee" for going out hunting, even if you weren't a member of the Meng Family, you could hunt in the vicinity.

Therefore, there were many people in the stronghold, ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand... In addition to Meng Family martial artists, there were also martial artists from other families or independent Martial Artist Corps.

However, the entire stronghold was now in chaos.

"What?! Old Huang and the others have all lost contact? What's going on?"

"Oh no... The Captain can't be reached either! Did he die by the hands of a fierce beast?"

"Look quickly, something's happened to the Meng Family too, they've lost martial artists, and advanced ones at that!"

"No way? Did the Lin Family attack? How could there be no movement at all?"

"If the Lin Family were to attack, they'd attack strongholds B-class or higher. Any B-class stronghold is much more valuable than a C-class one, right?"

"Latest news! Latest news! This is a major incident! The Meng Family lost over three Advanced Martial Artists, all killed by a cloaked masked man!"

"A cloaked masked man?! What's the situation?!"

"Do I even need to ask? He must be a tough character, either related to the Lin Family or here for revenge. What are you waiting for? Grab your weapons!"

"..."

The outpost was small, and with the exceptional hearing and senses of martial artists, news spread like wildfire. Within ten minutes, everyone in the entire outpost was thoroughly informed.

Similar situations were unfolding at the other three outposts of the Meng Family.

"Dead?!"

The guard at the outpost's expression changed upon hearing the news. "Did you find out who it was?"

"We don't know yet, because the martial artist sent to investigate... is also dead!" his subordinate stammered, shrinking his neck.

"Is it the Lin Family?" the guard asked distractedly. "No, the Lin Family always attacks outposts directly. Why would they need an ambush? If they were going to act, they would have charged in already!"

"Never mind that, first seal off the outpost and go on full alert! Act immediately if anything suspicious is found!"

"Yes!"

As the four outposts continuously encountered trouble, everyone panicked.

Meanwhile, on Su Zhan's side, Frenzy Blood disappeared after its hour was up, followed by Sanyu and Nine Fire. Only Blood Consumption remained, still fighting.

Su Zhan decisively tallied the results.

The final outcome was:

"Today's total earnings are... 270,000!"

An unprecedented light flashed in Su Zhan's eyes.
