Chapter 31: Amazing Efficiency in Hunting
"Ka-ching!"
The door was unlocked.
"Hiss..."
Su Long sucked in his breath and dispatched the parting body with a movement of his mind.
Silently, a naked man appeared in front of Su Long, its appearance was very natural, as if it was supposed to be there.
"Tsk..."
Su Lang looked around the billet and kept making tsking sounds in his mouth.
This billet was exactly the same as him, even the number of hairs were the same.
The only difference was the eyes, precisely the divine light in the eyes.
Unlike Su Lang's clear and divine eyes, the billet's pupils were filled with chaos and killing intent.
"Great, great!"
Su Lang couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration.
If this was seen, I'm afraid that people would still think that he had some special hobby.
Right after that, Su Long retrieved the billet and went outside to the clothing store.
He planned to buy some clothes for himself and the bilocation, after all, the bilocation looked just like himself, if he remained naked, it would tarnish his image!
After some selection, Su Long bought a few sets of pullover black hooded robes.
Before leaving, the boss even gave Su Long a few white masks and a smile of 'I understand you'.
Needless to say, this boss must have thought that Su Long was about to do something shady.
Su Long didn't mind and went to a weapon shop to spend 10 gold coins to buy a high-grade mortal tang knife to use as a billet weapon.
On top of the mortal weapon was the Primary Spiritual Weapon, Su Lang took a look at it when picking the weapon, and the entire price of 3000 gold coins made him secretly shocked.
"With this money I might as well upgrade the system functions!"
Solange left the weapon shop, then left the weapon shop and returned to the hotel.
"Come on, put it on!"
Under Su Lang's command, the billet put on clothes and a mask.
"Tsk, that's quite a killer!"
Looking at the black-robed white-faced billet, Su Long smiled in satisfaction, and with a whirl of his mind, dispatched it and accepted the billet's perception.
Somewhere in the F-class Wind Wolf area, the black-robed billet appeared without a sound.
It then had an additional Tang Knife in its hand, which was what Su Long had transmitted to it through the 'Item Transfer'.
At this moment, a rustling sound came from not too far away, and a giant grey-white wolf emerged from among the trees.
This grey wolf with sharp claws and teeth and a huge body was the F-class ferocious beast, the Wind Wolf.
"Roar-!"
When the wind wolf saw the black-robed billet, it immediately roared and pounced with red eyes.
This wind wolf was ferocious, but the black-robed billet was exactly the same as Su Lang's strength, an existence that could stand up to a formal martial artist!
"Swish!"
In a flash of blade light, the Wind Wolf's enormous head flew into the sky and its body collapsed to the ground.
In the next moment, the wind wolf's corpse disappeared into thin air.
Su Lang's side.
"Ding!
You obtain Wind Wolf Claws*4, Wind Wolf Fangs*4, Wind Wolf Flesh*10, Wind Wolf Fur*1..."
Su Lang took a quick glance at the storage space and found that the wind wolf corpse had been perfectly divided, and as long as it was a valuable material, there was no waste at all.
"Great, just automatically disposing of the corpse saves me a lot of trouble."
Su Lang smiled brightly.
It was important to know that handling vicious beast corpses also required craftsmanship, or else the vicious beast materials would be destroyed if you were not careful, causing the value to decrease or even be damaged.
"Ho!"
"Ow!"
At the black-robed billet, the seemingly drifting scent of blood spread out, and the two wind wolves followed the smell to find it.
Without the slightest hesitation, the black-robed billet flipped its wrist, its blade flashed, and the two wind wolves turned into corpses in an instant.
"Ding!
You obtain Wind Wolf Claws*8, Wind Wolf Fangs*7, Wind Wolf Flesh*18, Wind Wolf Fur*2..."
According to its own level, the F-grade Wind Wolf's full body materials were worth between 20 silver coins and 50 silver coins.
And although the materials Su Lang harvested were of varying levels, they were of perfect quality, with each wind wolf worth an average of 40 silver coins.
In other words, in the short time just now, Su Long had harvested several gold coins!
You know the average Body Hardener wouldn't even get 1 gold coin a month in wages if he didn't go hunting and risk his life!
Of course, wind wolves weren't endless, and Su Lang's billet also happened to come across a few wind wolves piling up.
But even so, Su Long's hunting efficiency was much faster than ordinary Body Hardeners, and he could at least harvest dozens of gold coins every day.
Most crucially, other hunters needed to risk their lives to earn that money, and there were many expenses during that time, and what they earned in the end was completely blood money.
And yet Su Long could get these little cuties by sitting and lying down and napping!
Chapter 32 - This is a fucking money grab.
Although tens of gold coins per day were simply not worth mentioning compared to Su Lang's consumption of upgrading system functions.
But don't forget that Split Dispatch is only level 1!
And most importantly, it wouldn't be long before Su Long was promoted to full martial artist!
The billet's strength was the same as his, and it would then be able to go hunting in the E class ferocious beast area.
One had to know that the strength of an E class ferocious beast was equivalent to a formal martial artist, and its average value was more than 10 times that of an F class ferocious beast!
Of course, Su Long hadn't even forgotten the sweetness he had tasted from destroying a stronghold!
Although the Broken Axe Hunting Group's stronghold has been destroyed, there's still the Ye family ah!
"It's a pity that the strength isn't enough and the number of bilocations is too low."
Su Long's eyes shone brightly, "System, how much does it cost to upgrade the billet dispatch function?"
"Host, it costs 1000 gold coins to upgrade the bilocation dispatch function to level 2."
"Every time the bilocation dispatch function upgrades, the number of bilocations will be +1, and new abilities will be unlocked at every level!"
"Wow, and a new ability!?"
"This function is really terrifying, too bad I don't have enough money."
Su Lang raised his eyebrows, "Looks like you have to promote to a full martial artist as soon as possible."
He only had 319 gold coins right now, which was far from 1,000 gold coins.
A moment later, Su Lang got on the aura bus to the Martial Alliance Building.
This time, Su Long did not intend to go to the Martial Alliance Building to collect his Martial Alliance allowance.
After all, he had only continuously received the Primary Hardened Body and Intermediate Hardened Body allowances in the morning.
This evening, if he went to collect the Advanced Body Hardening, Peak Body Hardening and Quasi-Martial Union allowances, it would be hard not to cause a stir.
Attracting the attention of irresistible strongmen when they were not strong enough to resist would make it difficult to hold fate in their hands.
Of course, it was gold that would always shine, but by then Su Long would be so powerful and invincible that whoever provoked and killed him wouldn't have so many worries at all.
More than half an hour later, Su Long arrived at the Martial Artist Alliance Building.
Even at night, the Martial Artist Alliance Building was brightly lit with a constant stream of people.
Su Lang mixed in the crowd and arrived at the 2nd floor of the building.
The first floor of the building was the office hall, while the second to fourth floors were the official shops of various martial artist alliances, including shops specializing in the sale of merit methods.
At this stage, the easiest way for Su Long to improve his strength was to practice his gong methods.
A beginner's technique reaching the entry level would raise his strength by a lot, the key was that it only took a few minutes!
At the thought of being equipped with dozens and hundreds of feats and possessing the strength to slay enemies across several levels, Su Lang was so excited that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
However, after entering the shop, he was suddenly dumbfounded.
Primary Body Forging Technique, White Lion Powerful Technique, 888 gold coins!
Primary Weapon Technique, Seven Sword Roll of Broken Mountain, 1,298 gold coins!
Primary Attribute Technique, Red Hot True Secrets, 23,000 gold coins!
........ "A skill is so expensive?"
Su Lang looked at the price tag and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.
And this was still a primary merit method.
Looking at the intermediate merit methods, it was all five-digit prices, and the attribute merit methods were even worth six-digit gold coins.
High-grade merit methods were even more terrifying, there were only three in the entire store, and that town's treasure, the Blowing Snow Without a Trace Diagram, was worth five million gold coins!
"Holy shit, this is the fucking money grab!"
Su Lang was so dumbfounded and jaw-dropping that with his current fortune, he couldn't even afford to buy the cheapest merit method.
Moreover, this shop contained the Returning Body Forging Technique and the Ghost Moon Saber Technique, which shattered Su Long's plans of selling the technique and then buying a new one.
"Ugh, money, money..."
Su Long walked out of the merit method shop with an unhappy face, "It looks like the road to buying merit methods to improve strength is going to be cut off."
At this moment, Su Long suddenly had a flash of light.
"I can rob it if I can't afford it, isn't the Ghost Moon Blade Technique a robbery?"
"As one of the four major powers in the Red Maple City stronghold, the Ye family must have quite a few techniques, even advanced ones!"
"And there's the notorious Broken Axe Hunt that hasn't been eradicated yet, the infamous hunting group must still have some goodies!"
"When I'm strong enough, I'll hunt them!"
Thinking of this, Su Lang's mood improved again, and his pace to the 5th floor was much lighter.
Starting on the 5th floor of the Martial Alliance Building, there were all sorts of training rooms, martial arts training rooms, arenas, meeting rooms, luxury restaurants, and other areas.
What Su Long was going to, was the cultivation room!
Chapter 33 - The Realm of the Official Martial Artist!
There are two types of cultivation rooms, ordinary cultivation rooms and aura cultivation rooms, which are charged according to the time they are used.
Ordinary cultivation rooms only provide a quiet and safe environment, and the concentration of aura is the same as the outside world.
Aura cultivation rooms, with a super thick concentration of aura, could greatly increase the cultivation speed of formal martial artists.
Su Lang came to the consulting office and directly opened one of the best aura cultivation rooms.
When he entered the cultivation room, the thick aura came raging.
"This aura concentration is really refreshing."
Su Lang felt the aura around him and smiled in satisfaction.
Closing the door, Su Long straightaway laid down on the floor and slept.
No matter what posture he was in anyway, it didn't affect the one button cultivation function to automatically cultivate for him.
At the same time.
Golden Fruit Building, a luxury compartment.
"Bill and Qing haven't returned yet?"
A large man with black snake tattoos on his bald head frowned and walked around with his hands behind his back.
Bowing around him stood two prospective martial artists and four peak hardened bodies.
There were also several beautiful and revealing women cowering on the sofa, trembling with fear.
"Boss, we've sent people to the F-class Wind Wolf Region stronghold."
A prospective martial artist lowered her head and said, "I'm sure there will be news coming soon."
Just at this moment, a shout came from outside.
"It's not good!"
"Boss, the stronghold is gone!"
"All dead, all dead people, the stronghold is full of bodies!"
A bare-chested big man with a face full of panic ran into the private room with an upward breath.
As soon as these three words came out, the snake-striped big man's body shook, and his eyes suddenly exploded with terrifying anger.
The rest of them were stunned by the words that came out of the visitor's mouth.
The Broken Axe Hunting Group's F-class stronghold had already opened up the upper joints, and the conflicts in every aspect had been completely suppressed, so how could it be wiped out all at once!
"How dare you touch the stronghold of my Broken Axe Hunters...
Who!
Who is it!?"
"Check for me!
Check them all out!
I want to see the results in a day!"
"Don't go yet-!!!"
The snake-striped big man was raging, almost like an active volcano erupting with magma!
"Yes, yes!"
"Boss appease your anger, your subordinates will investigate immediately!"
"Come on, together!
The killer will be found!"
The crowd of subordinates were so terrified that they knelt down on one knee and led the order to leave.
In the blink of an eye, only the snake-striped big man and the trembling women remained in the luxury compartment.
"No matter who you are, when I catch you I will definitely make you live and die!"
An extremely cruel and malevolent gaze erupted in the eyes of the serpentine big man.
Whirling around, he turned towards the women who were cowering in fear on the sofa.
"Boss!"
"Don't-!"
........ Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Martial Alliance Mansion.
"Host, the sea of cultivation is full, is it a breakthrough?"
The system prompt came, and Su Long, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Finally here, this cultivation room didn't open for nothing!"
Su Long stood up excitedly, "System, give me a breakthrough!"
In an instant, the aura around him was like meeting a black hole as it madly surged into his body.
His body also underwent a huge change.
Under the baptism and quenching of the huge amount of aura, Su Lang's body was undergoing a crazy transformation.
His meridians, flesh and blood, and bones were all undergoing sublimation.
A trace of black-red blood stains discharged from his body, quickly forming a hard shell on the surface!
A vortex of aura gradually formed in his dantian, and an extra strand of aura appeared in his meridians!
After a long time, the hard shell cracked and peeled off inch by inch, revealing Su Long's healthily lustrous skin.
"Formal martial artist realm, done!!!"
Su Lang grinned as his eyes erupted with astonishing divine light.
Breaking through from the body-hardening realm to the real martial artist realm was a transformation of the essence of life.
It was for this reason that the Red Maple City stronghold's hundreds of thousands of people only possessed over ten thousand martial artists.
The difference between a quasi-warrior and a martial artist was one word, but one earth and one heaven, they were different levels.
By stepping over the barrier of a martial artist, one had stepped over the heads of the vast majority of people, increasing their strength and status substantially!
Chapter 34: Show them what you got.
"This feeling is so refreshing."
Su Lang circulated his aura to attach to his fist, feeling like he could punch through a giant elephant.
Immediately after, he summoned his attribute panel.
?Name?: Su Lang
[Race]: Human
?Qualification Level?: Cloud Body
[Realm Level]: Beginner Martial Artist
?Attack Level?: Beginner Martial Artist+
[Defense Level]: Beginner Martial Artist
?Body Skill Level?: Beginner Martial Artist
Endurance Level?: Beginner Martial Artist
?Mastery Technique?: Spreading Heart Sutra, Ghost Moon Blade Technique (Beginner, introductory), Returning Body Forging Technique (Beginner, introductory)
Activated system functions: one-button cultivation function (level 3), one-button martial arts training function (level 3), bilocation dispatch function (level 1)
"It seems that the introductory level Homing Forge Technique doesn't improve formal martial artists enough to make the body, defense, and endurance ranks show plus signs."
"But the good news is that with the addition of the two techniques, the attack rank is still higher than the same level!"
"Moreover, this kind of strength can already easily crush an F-class stronghold!"
"Hehehehehe!"
Su Long's mouth hooked, revealing a wicked smile.
Let's start with the F-ranked stronghold and give them a bit of a taste of their own medicine!
Let's just do it.
Su Lang immediately exited the aura cultivation room.
"Hello, you've spent a total of 30 gold coins."
A staff member came over, but in an instant his face became incomparably shocked.
He clearly remembered that the young man in front of him had no aura fluctuation when he went in, he was a body-hardening realm.
But now, there was a faint aura fluctuation from this young man's body.
He had broken through to the Martial Realm!
"Breaking through to the martial realm at such a young age!
Is it a genius of any family?"
The staff, horrified and envious, whirled around and bowed in apology, "Sir, please forgive my rudeness!"
"Nothing."
Su Long was in a good mood, smiled generously and paid his money with a cool smile, then left the 5th floor of the building in the awe of the staff.
All the way to the 3rd floor of the building, the surrounding passersby incomparably cast shocked and respectful gazes at Su Long.
Su Long found a shop on the 3rd floor and spent 1 gold coin to purchase the best map.
Not only did this map have various ferocious beast areas marked on it, but it also had more detailed information on the produce materials and all the power strongholds, even the names and general strength of the stronghold guardians.
From the map, the vast F-rank region had around two to three hundred strongholds, accounting for ninety percent of all strongholds.
Compared to the F-class strongholds, the number of E-class strongholds was drastically reduced to only about thirty.
On the other hand, there were only four D-class strongholds in total, located in the four directions of the Red Maple City stronghold, which functioned as outposts.
On the other hand, there were none of the C-rank strongholds above D-rank.
In other words, the Red Maple City stronghold was the only C-grade stronghold!
The number of strongholds outside the city was pitifully small compared to the hundreds of thousands of people in the Red Maple City stronghold, and the vast land outside the barrier.
But it wasn't that people didn't want to build more strongholds.
Rather, because of the ferocious tide of beasts, almost all of the strongholds would be completely destroyed every ten years or so!
Even if it was a D-rank stronghold, it would be destroyed once per ferocious beast tide and then rebuilt by the four powers together at great expense.
There was no telling how much money and manpower it took to establish and operate a stronghold.
Once a stronghold was destroyed, all these efforts would be wasted in an instant, which was not something an ordinary person could bear.
That was why people preferred to go out in groups to hunt, then return to the inside of the fortress to repair and prepare for the next hunt.
"Let me take a look at the Ye family's stronghold..."
Su Lang looked over one by one, memorizing all the Ye Family's strongholds in his mind.
There were a total of 33 F-ranked strongholds, 5 E-ranked strongholds, and 1 D-ranked stronghold.
"Let's start with the most recent one, the F-ranked Dark Snake District stronghold!"
Su Long sneered and ordered the billet to abandon the hunt and head towards the F-class Dark Snake District stronghold.
Chapter 35 - Ye Family Dark Serpent Area stronghold
The billet traveled along, constantly encountering various F-class ferocious beasts.
"Ding!
You gain the Shred Horn*2, the Shred Back Armor*1, the Shred Blood Meat*20, the Shred Beast Tendons*4..."
"Ding!
You gain Molten Fire Frog Flippers*4, Molten Fire Frog Tongue*1, Molten Fire Frog Skin*1, Molten Fire Frog Tail*1..."
"Ding!
You acquire..."
"It's so cool how fast that money comes in."
Looking at the increasing amount of ferocious beast materials in the storage space, Su Lang left the Martial Alliance building with a beautiful smile.
Returning to the hotel, he laid straight down on the bed.
Formal martial artists also needed rest, otherwise they would die suddenly just the same.
Su Long was a little tired after a full day's work, so he took the time to rest while his billet was on the road.
A night passed in the blink of an eye.
"System, how long do I have before I break through again?"
Su Lang immediately asked after waking up.
"Host, you only need 50 hours to break through to the Intermediate Martial Realm."
"Wouldn't that be more than two days?"
Su Lang left his mouth open, then shared the bilocation's perception.
The black-robed bilocation had already arrived at the Ye Family's F-class Dark Snake District stronghold and was hunting Dark Snakes everywhere.
"Ding!
You gain Dark Snake Scales*26, Dark Snake Venomous Teeth*2, Dark Snake Skin*1, Dark Snake Tendons*1, Dark Snake Flesh*5..."
"Ding!
You get..."
"Hunting all night, I don't know how the harvest is."
Su Lang opened the storage space to take a look and found that the ferocious beast materials inside had piled up into a small mountain.
Apparently, after breaking through to a full martial artist, the billet strength had risen and the hunting efficiency had increased substantially.
"It's time to start the revenge journey!"
Su Lang's mouth hooked, allowing the dispersers to stop hunting and head towards the stronghold.
The Ye family, as a stronghold of Red Maple City, was a big family, and not only did they not stop casuals from hunting in the Dark Snake Area, but they even allowed casuals to pay fees to repair within the stronghold.
Thus, Su Lang's parting body easily entered the inside of the stronghold.
"Who is this black-robed man?"
"There's an aura wave!
It's the official Martial Lord!"
"Get out of the way, this person is not easy to mess with at a glance, if you offend him, you and I will be finished for the rest of our lives."
"........" The surrounding Quenchers looked at the mysterious black-robed billet in awe.
Where the black-robed billet passed, no one dared not to avoid it.
This, was the might of a formal martial artist!
"Welcome Your Excellency to my Ye Family's Dark Snake District stronghold."
A prospective martial practitioner greeted with a smile on his face, "I don't know how Your Excellency is called, is there anything I can do to help?"
Although this prospective martial artist was all smiles, the pride in his eyes could not be concealed.
And he was followed by four parahumans, all following his lead.
Clearly, this person was the guardian of this stronghold!
"Worthy of being a formal martial artist, even the Ye family is treating him with courtesy."
"Yeah, this Ye Zhenzhu is usually cold and arrogant, but now he's smiling."
"........ "" The surrounding passersby saw the scene of the Ye family stronghold town guard welcoming the mysterious black-robed man.
However, the atmosphere of the scene soon changed.
Because the mysterious black-robed man didn't even have any intention of returning the courtesy!
"Your Excellency..."
The According Point Town Guard saw the black-robed mysterious man hanging his head and frowned.
At that moment, the black-robed mysterious man raised his head.
"Those eyes!"
As soon as the According Point Town Guard saw the murderous eyes of Su Lang's bilocation, he trembled like thunder.
He didn't even want to think about it, his body moved and immediately had to flee!
"Swish!!!"
An arcing moon blade light appeared suddenly in the air, one section a freshly sheathed white and the other a piercing blood color!
"Uh...
Ho ho ho..."
The Ye family stronghold town guard tightly covered his soaring neck, his staring eyes filled with incredulity.
The other four prospective martial artists were also dumbfounded and slow to react to the scene in front of them.
"Ding!
You have obtained a merit book*2, Advanced Mortal Soldier*1, Gold coins*20, Silver coins..."
As the system prompt came in, the body of the Ye family stronghold's town guard slowly fell down.
The scene was as silent as an abyss!
But in the next second, the scene exploded like an active volcano that had been gathering momentum!
"This person actually killed the Ye family stronghold guard!"
"How dare he?
Is he crazy?
That's the Ye family!"
"Oh my god, what did I see, someone dared to kill the Yeerks!"
"As far as I know, this Ye Wu Zhenzhu is a member of the Ye family's main lineage and will soon become a martial existence!"
"Killing someone from the Ye family's main lineage, this person is bound to die even if he's a formal martial artist, and that's a family with martial masters and generals!"
"This black-robed martial artist is dead, he's really dead!"
"........" Everyone was so shocked that their hairs stood on end and their scalp went numb.
As they discussed, they retreated in fear, and in an instant, a vacuum area formed around Su Lang's bilocation.
Chapter 36 - Thunder Attribute Technique!
"You!
How dare you kill the guards of my Ye family stronghold!"
A prospective martial artist pointed at Su Long and shouted in incomparable anger.
"Oh, just like an opponent like you who doesn't know how to run away."
Su Long's mouth hooked and ordered, "Kill him!"
"Hoo-!"
The blade light reproduced, and the roaring prospective martial artist was directly cut into two halves.
"Ding!
You obtain High Mortal Soldier*1, Gold Coins*12, Silver Coins..."
The black-robed billet held the bloodstained Tang Blade and stared intently at the next prospective martial artist.
"This person is insane!
Run!"
"Quickly turn on the call for help light and go back to ask the strong to kill this fang!"
"........" The remaining three prospective martial artists were frightened and trembled physically and mentally as they roared and ran around as fast as they could.
The rest, whether they were casualties or Ye Quenchers, all pulled their legs out and ran as well!
Someone turned on the stronghold's 'distress light' and a huge beam of light rose into the sky, clearly visible even in daylight!
"Kill the prospective martial artists, don't worry about the ones that escape, finish them as soon as possible."
Su Lang gave the order with a cold smile, then opened the storage space and took out two booklets from it.
These two booklets seemed inconspicuous, but they were the most precious merit dictionaries.
One of them was titled "The True Secrets of the Thunder Silk" and the other was titled "The White Feather Steps".
Both were loot looted from that Ye family stronghold guard.
"The Ye Family is truly fat!"
Su Long's mouth was about to twist into a smile as he looked at the two merit methods.
In particular, that book, The True Secrets of Thunder Silk, was actually a primary lightning attribute gong method!
This was a feat worth 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins!
The delighted Su Lang flew through the "True Secrets of the Raywire" and read it in less than a minute.
"Ding!
Detected the Primary Technique "Thunder Silk True Secrets", do you place it?"
"Sure enough, read it once and you'll be able to practice it with one click!"
Su Lang immediately switched the Ghost Moon Saber Technique to the Thunder Silk True Secrets with a happy smile.
"Ding!
The exercise technique is replaced with the "Thunder Silk True Secrets"!"
At the same time, in the mysterious black space, the illusory long blade in the hands of the martial training villain disappeared.
It was sitting on the ground, its hands facing the sky, and dense, twisting purple lightning appearing between its fingers!
"How tawdry!"
Su Lang was so excited that his eyes shone.
After looking at it for a while, he opened the White Feather Steps with great anticipation and read it.
This technique belonged to the Primary Body Forging Technique, which specialized in increasing body strength, and was equally valuable!
After reading the second book of feats, Su Lang watched the billet go on a killing spree while waiting for the wonderful system prompt.
About ten minutes had passed.
"Ding!
The True Secrets of the Ray Silk has reached the introductory level!"
Su Long, who was lying on the bed, suddenly bounced up.
"Lei Lai!"
Su Lang drank lowly and his right hand became a claw, a trace of violent and incomparable lightning condensing in his palm.
Under the constantly distorting lightning light, the entire room was illuminated brightly and darkly.
At this moment, Su Long pulled out his Tang Dagger again, a trace of lightning flowed onto the blade like a living creature, looking handsome to the point of falling to pieces!
"So strong, if an average parahuman of this kind of lightning touches the slightest bit of it, I'm afraid it will immediately turn into charcoal!"
Su Lang carefully felt the energy contained within the hint of lightning and inhaled a deep breath of cool air.
"That's right, there's also the White Feather Steps!"
Su Lang immediately replaced the one-button martial arts learning technique with the White Feather Steps again.
In the mysterious black space, the lightning in the hand of the little man learning martial arts disappeared.
It stood up and began to practice the various movements in the White Feather Steps, faster and faster, almost blurring it all.
A few minutes later.
"Ding!
The White Feather Steps have reached the introductory level!"
Su Lang only felt warm, and his entire body became agile and light.
Immediately afterwards, he switched his technique back to the "Thunder Silk True Secrets" and then opened the attribute panel.
[Name]: Su Lang
[Race]: Human
?Qualification Level?: Cloud Body
[Realm Level]: Beginner Martial Artist
?Attack Level?: Intermediate Martial Artist+
[Defense Level]: Beginner Martial Artist
?Body Skill Level?: Beginner Martial Artist+
Endurance Level?: Beginner Martial Artist
Mastery of the following techniques: Infinite Heart Sutra, Thunder Silk Technique (Beginner, introductory), Ghost Moon Saber Technique (Beginner, introductory), White Feather Steps (Beginner, introductory), Regenerative Forging Technique (Beginner, introductory).
Activated system functions: one-button cultivation function (level 3), one-button martial arts training function (level 3), bilocation dispatch function (level 1)
With the push of the two techniques, Su Long's body level had reached Primary Martial Artist+ and his attack level had even reached Intermediate Martial Artist+!
Chapter 37: Why is there suddenly no one here?
"Hahahahaha!"
Su Long couldn't help but laugh out loud, "With my current abilities, even a mid-level martial artist would be cut down by me if he wasn't paying attention, it's so cool!"
At this time, the entire stronghold in the F-class Dark Snake District was already empty.
In the span of ten minutes, all of the Ye family members who had been caught by the parting body had died.
Su Lang's storage space also contained a large amount of loot, mostly some gold and silver coins, vicious beast materials, medicinal herbs, low grade weapons, and low grade pills.
"It's a pity that I didn't obtain any new feats."
Su Lang spread his hands in regret, then commanded his billet to walk around the stronghold.
Any items of value that they came across, they had the billet send them to Su Lang's room via 'Item Transmission'.
Su Lang then placed these items into the storage space.
It had to be said that the Ye family's stronghold was just fat, at least twice as wealthy as that stronghold of the Broken Axe Hunting Group.
Soon, the billet could no longer find any items to pass on.
"The Broken Axe Hunting Regiment has a safe, and I'm afraid this stronghold has one as well."
Su Long pondered, then continued to command the billet to search everywhere.
Not long after, the billet did indeed find a huge alloy safe in a more luxurious room.
Su Long didn't know the password of this safe.
But that didn't prevent him from taking it for himself.
"Smash it for me, smash all the walls around the safe."
Su Long smiled and gave the order.
After the billet got the command, it immediately proceeded to smash the walls.
With the attack level of the billet's Intermediate Martial Artist+, even the walls made of steel couldn't carry ah.
"Boom!"
"Boom!
Wow!"
Almost half the house collapsed under the continuous attacks of the billet.
The safe also became a separate existence.
Then it was simple, Su Long had the billet grab the safe and teleport it to the room via item transfer, then put it back into the storage space.
Right at that moment!
"Daring madman!
How dare you exterminate my Ye family stronghold, give me death!"
A roar raged into the sky, and a figure was swift as lightning, charging into the stronghold and ruthlessly killing Su Long's billet!
"This came so fast!"
Su Long was suddenly surprised.
And through the split body's perception, he clearly felt that the breath on the visitor's body still completely surpassed that of a formal martial artist, and was simply not something that the current him could rival.
In order to avoid losing the bilocation, Su Long immediately let the bilocation get into the room next to him.
Immediately, the billet slowly faded and disappeared, and was retrieved by Su Long into the mysterious black space.
"Run!
I'm going to throw you in the frying pan and fry you alive!"
The swift figure rushed into the room, sword in hand slashing wildly.
The sword light was like a giant net cast out by a fisherman, enveloping the entire room.
However........
"No one -!?"
The figure stopped in shock.
The sword light disappeared, revealing his face.
This person had square lips, a broad forehead and a flat top, his face was iron blue and his eyes were blood red.
If anyone from the Ye family saw this person, they would immediately call out "Elder Ye Tim"!
"Where's the man!?"
"Why is there suddenly no one left?"
"I plainly saw him run in here!"
"This room is closed on all sides, so how can people disappear without a sound!?"
Ye Tim's eyes stared like light bulbs, as if he had seen a ghost.
Whirling around, he searched the entire house and then searched the entire stronghold once more.
But he still had no luck!
"This...
That's impossible!"
Ye Tim's lungs were simply bursting.
As a powerful martial artist, he hadn't even seen the face of a martial artist and let someone escape!
If other people knew about this, they would definitely laugh at him for the rest of his life.
After a moment, Ye Tim finally calmed down.
He discovered a few things that were not right.
"This person is only at the martial artist realm, how would he dare to go against my Ye family?"
"And the fact that this person escaped so quickly is even more suspicious that he has some sort of blindfold method in place, only some special attribute techniques can perform the effect of the blindfold method..."
"From these two points, it seems that this person should not be at the martial realm, but a martial master, he may have suppressed the aura fluctuations!"
"So, who the hell is he?
Why do you want to go against my family?
My Ye family will not hold a grudge against a martial artist at all!"
"Could it be that this person is a stronghold rogue from another stronghold!?"
Ye Tim pondered, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the visitors were probably stronghold bandits.
Chapter 38 - Upgrading the billet dispatch function!
The gains from destroying a stronghold were much greater than hunting ferocious beasts alone.
Therefore, long before Su Lang, there were vicious martial artists who hit the stronghold outside the city.
Most of these martial artists would be wiped out soon, but there were still a very few who were able to escape the chase and scurry around.
These people were the stronghold rogues that Tim Ye talked about!
But then Tim Ye had another doubt
--Why didn't the killer choose the E-level stronghold as a target?
That's significantly more profitable!
"What the hell is going on here?"
Ye Tim felt that his head was big.
While he was extremely unhappy, on the other side, Su Lang was beautifully depositing gold coins into the system.
"Lie noisy, 1935 gold coins, developed!"
Looking at the numbers behind the gold coin icon, Su Lang was filled with an excited smile.
The 1,935 gold coins did not include those yet-to-be-sold ferocious beast materials, heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Selling those materials was estimated to bring in another thousand gold coins!
"System, upgrade the billet dispatch function for me!"
Little money was enough, Su Lang immediately chose to upgrade the system functions.
"Ding!
Consuming 1000 gold coins, the billet dispatch function is increased to level 2, and the number of billets is +1."
As the system prompt appeared, a purple villain once again condensed out of the mysterious black space.
"Two bilocations now, how refreshing!"
Su Lang rubbed his hands in excitement and immediately dispatched the second billet in front of him, dressing it in a black hooded robe, putting on a mask, and stuffing a long knife in its hand.
"Jie Jie, next, go to the headquarters of the Broken Axe Hunting Group first!"
Su Lang planned to suspend the attack against the Ye Family's stronghold, because after losing a stronghold, the Ye Family would definitely take strict precautions.
If he sent his billet to attack the Ye Family stronghold at this time, he would likely fall into a trap.
Even if Su Lang could keep an eye on the billet's condition and retrieve it in time when it was in danger, it would result in a basket of bamboo and a wasted effort.
On the contrary, now that everyone's attention was outside the city, it was a good time to make things happen inside the city!
Let's do it.
Su Long immediately left the inn and got on an aura bus to the Golden Fruit Building.
Under the envious and awe-inspiring gazes of the people on the bus, Su Long got off the bus at a stop in front of the Golden Fruit Building and walked over.
Not long after, Su Long arrived at the Golden Fruit Street.
This area of the street looked chaotic, filled with hooligans and thugs.
Of course, with Su Long's aura fluctuating all over, no punks were blind enough to dare to mess with it.
Finding a tall building close to the Golden Fruit building, Su Long arrived at the top of the building.
"Sure enough, you can see part of the scene inside the Golden Fruit Building from here!"
Su Lang's mouth hooked, revealing a hint of a cold smile.
Then, with a thought, he dispatched both of his bilocations to the Golden Fruit Building.
Those guards in the Golden Fruit Building were as good as nothing!
At this moment, in the luxury compartment where the snake-printed big man of the Golden Fruit Building was.
"Tuk Tuk...
Tuk Tuk..."
An extremely rhythmic knock sounded.
"It's only now that we have news, what a bunch of losers!"
"Bang!"
The serpentine man donned a long robe and slammed the door.
The compartment behind it was a mess, with several contorted women lying on the ground alive and dead.
"Boss..."
Outside the door, a prospective martial artist stood with a cold sweat bowing to the side.
"Tell me, who did this?"
The serpentine big man's manic eyes topped the prospective martial artist's.
"Didn't...
Didn't find out!"
The prospective martial artist said warily, "Everyone at the scene is dead, and based on the wounds, I presume it's the Ghost Moon Blade Technique!"
"Pop!!!"
"There are more than dozens of martial artists in the Red Maple City stronghold who know the Ghost Moon Blade Technique, what's the use of you finding this out?"
The serpentine man smacked the prospective martial artist's men to the ground with a slap.
"Aigoo Black Snake, but your temper is growing, why do you think your strength hasn't grown so fast?"
A young man's voice came from the doorway, the derision of which was not hidden.
"Six...
Young Master Six!?"
The serpentine man shuddered at the sound and immediately turned around.
He saw two people standing at the entrance.
One of them was a short-haired man with slender eyes and red lips, looking like a noble prince.
The other person was a thin old man with crane hair and a rickety figure.
Chapter 39 - The Culprit of the Killing
"Sixth Young Master!
What are you doing here?"
The snake-striped big man was flattering, his previous arrogant and overbearing demeanor completely gone.
"Why am I here?"
"I'm here and I need to greet you?"
The short-haired man smiled coldly and sat down straight on the sofa.
"Subordinates don't dare!"
A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on Black Snake's forehead.
He was just a dog raised by Sixth Young Master Ye Liang, how would he dare to show any disrespect?
"Huh?"
Ye Liang snorted coldly and said, "This time, I came over to ask you something."
"Young Master, please speak!"
Black Snake nodded respectfully.
"The stronghold of your Broken Axe Hunting Group was destroyed before!"
"And just now, our Ye Family was also wiped out in an F-class stronghold!"
"By comparing the wounds, our people realized that the person who did it should be the same person, so I came to ask you..."
"Did you mess with someone who is notorious!?"
Ye Liang's words caused the black snake to turn pale and stunned.
"Ye...
The Ye family stronghold was also destroyed!?"
The black snake opened its mouth, horrified to the point that its eyes were about to fall out.
The Ye family was one of the four major powers of the Red Maple City stronghold, who dared to stroke the Ye family's tiger whiskers out of proportion?
"Yeah, how dare someone go against my Ye family!"
"Once I find him, I will make sure he lives a long life!"
Ye Liang's face was cold: "Now, tell me if you have any suspects."
"Subordinate...
Subordinates have offended many people..."
Black Snake said warily, "But none of those are hardened bones, I've dealt with them clean every time..."
"Hmph, forget it, there's no use in feeding you."
Ye Liang gave a faint snort, "Go bring the gold coins harvested last month, I'm going to buy pills to prepare for my breakthrough as a middle grade martial artist."
"Young Master is going to break through!?"
"Worthy of being Young Master, that's awesome, we reckless men are nothing compared to you!"
The black snake was first surprised, and immediately revealed an incomparably flattering and pleasing expression.
"Cut the crap, go!"
Ye Liang waved his hand, and the black snake immediately went to get the gold coins.
Not long after, Black Snake returned to the room holding a large box and placed it in front of Ye Liang: "Young Master, a total of 1265 gold coins!"
"Well, good."
Yeliang nodded and was about to order the Black Snake to send someone to continue tracking down the murderer.
"Ah!"
There was a sudden scream from outside.
"What's going on!?"
Ye Liang, the old man, the black snake, and the prospective martial artist who didn't dare to move suddenly looked at the door in astonishment.
At that moment, a footstep came from outside, and the rushing voice even gave people a feeling of impatience.
"Hahahahaha, Ye family's sixth young master Ye Liang, and 1,265 gold coins..."
On the roof of the tall building next door, Su Lang's lips hooked, revealing a wry and excited smile.
He never expected that a trip to the headquarters of the Broken Axe Hunting Group would lead him to encounter Ye Liang, the culprit who had ordered him to be killed!
What a pleasant surprise!
In the Golden Fruit building, the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Along with it, there was a faint hint of blood.
"Who is it?"
"Who dares to kill someone so brazenly in the Jingo Building?"
Black Snake was stunned, never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that someone would dare to kill his hunting group's headquarters!
"What's the panic!?"
Ye Liang drank in a cold voice, "With Old Man Lu here, anyone who comes will die."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man behind him took a step forward, his body revealing an unfathomable feeling.
Right at this moment, the visitor appeared at the door.
Black robes and a white face, a knife in one hand and a head in the other, blood spilled all the way.
The face was covered by a black hood and mask, and the white mask was stained with a few drops of red blood.
"Ah Prisoner!"
Looking at the dead head on the visitor's hand, Black Snake was furious.
Ah Jiu was his most trusted subordinate, and now he was beheaded!
Compared to Black Snake, Ye Liang and Lu Lao were even more jaw-droppingly shocked and dumbfounded!
They had already received the news that the one who had exterminated the F-class Dark Snake stronghold was a black-robed, white-faced knife using expert.
And now, the murderer that the entire Ye family had been searching for so hard to find was close at hand!
Chapter 40 - The Arrogant Sixth Young Master of the Ye Family
Immediately after the shock, joy surfaced again in Ye Liang's eyes!
"Yes!
There's a way to heaven and you don't go, but there's a way to hell and you come!"
Ye Liang stood up from the couch and looked at Su Lang's black-robed billet with a sneer on his face.
In his eyes, the black-robed man in front of him was just a junior martial artist.
And he, Ye Liang, was nearing a breakthrough himself, not to mention that there was also Lu Lao, a true intermediate martial artist.
Together with the black snake, they had a total of three martial warriors, while the other party, was just one person.
At this point, Lu Lao and Black Snake also discovered this, and smirked more than a little as they let their hearts down.
"Kid, although you exterminated an F-class stronghold of my Ye family, I'm giving you a chance now."
"As long as you kneel before me in repentance and swear to become one of my dogs, I will spare your life and keep you gloriously rich and famous!"
"But if you don't, the consequences will be more cruel than you can imagine!"
Ye Liang stood between Lu Lao and Black Snake, looking arrogantly at the black-robed billet.
There were many young masters and ladies in the Ye family and the competition was fierce, so when Ye Liang saw this ruthless and courageous black-robed man, he wanted to try to see if he could take him under his wing.
If he could take him under his wing, it would definitely be a huge battle.
And as far as he, Ye Liang, was concerned, as the Sixth Young Master of the Ye Family, the other party was just a desperate little martial artist, and as long as certain promises and threats were given, the other party would most likely agree!
But....
"Oh!"
The black-robed man sneered, holding a knife in one hand and a head in the other, and slowly walked into the room.
"Little friend, you must believe that Young Master Yeliang has the status and strength to protect you."
"It's not too late to kneel down!"
Lu Lao walked up to Ye Liang and said in a cold voice to Su Lang's subordinate.
"Friend, I am Young Master Ye Liang's subordinate!"
"Look at how much power and wealth I've gained since I've been with Young Master Yeliang!"
"This Broken Axe Hunting Group, this Golden Fruit Building, all of it is something I didn't dare to think about before!"
The black snake also knew what was on Yeliang's mind and immediately stepped forward to persuade him.
"Ridiculous, so damned ridiculous!"
"A mere piece of trash, and you want to make me kneel?"
"Today, I'll show you what cruelty is!"
On the roof of the next building, Su Long sneered and turned away from the roof.
........ Su Long's bilocation had no reaction to the coercion of Ye Liang's three men.
It was a killing machine built for battle!
Ye Liang and the others saw that the black-robed man was still cold and silent, slowly moving forward, and they became angry.
"How dare you toast to the past!?"
"Today I'll let you know what will happen if you offend my Ye family and my Ye Liang!"
Ye Liang's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he waved his big hand, "Give it to me, cripple him, I'll make him regret coming to this world!"
"Kill!"
Lu Lao would immediately pull out his long sword and rushed towards Su Lang's billet with murderous aura.
The black snake also pulled out a single sword from which prospective martial artist and rushed up with ferocity.
The two martial artists exploded with cheetah-like speed, killing Su Lang's billet in almost a split second.
"How fast!"
The prospective martial artist stared at him, "With such a powerful battle force, that black-robed man will surely die!"
"Huh?"
Yeliang snorted coldly, as if he had already seen the scene of the black-robed man defeated and seriously injured in battle.
Suddenly!
"Swish!"
An arcane blade light appeared in midair.
"Ding!!!"
"Boom-!"
The blade light connected to block the long swords of Lu Lao and Black Snake.
Immediately afterwards, the black-robed billet threw its head in the air and retreated at speed!
And this action was naturally an order given by Su Long.
"Trying to escape?
No way!"
Lu Lao gave a low cry and fiercely chased after him.
The black snake's reaction and speed was slow, and Su Long billet and Lu Lao rushed out of the gate before he chased after them.
"Trying to escape in the city?
You can't do it with wings!"
Ye Liang arrogantly raised his chin and whirled around, "Pour me a cup..."
Before he finished speaking, his pupils shrank abruptly!
Only to see that the prospective martial artist had separated his head at some point, and in his place was a black-robed man standing there!
