Chapter 38: Fish Takes the Bait!

The next morning, Xiao s.h.i.+ continued to patrol the Golden Cloud City as usual, only to discover that the entire Golden Cloud City was discussing something today.

"Have you heard? The bounty hunter from the Senluo Organization was killed in the city yesterday!"

"It's said that he was killed by an unnamed night patroller!"

"In the past, it was always bounty hunters who hunted the night patrollers. I didn't expect a bounty hunter to be killed by the night patrollers this time!"

"Don't underestimate the night patrollers. There are also experts among the night patrollers, such as this mysterious expert this time."

"Speaking of which, this night patroller who doesn't want to reveal his name is quite mysterious. It's said that only the director-general knows who he is."

Xiao s.h.i.+'s expression was a little strange.

What the h.e.l.l did they mean by not revealing his name? He was certain that he had not been exposed. Nor did it arouse anyone's suspicion.

However, from the reaction of the Night Patrol Division, it was as if the night patroller who had done this had taken the initiative to report the situation to the higher-ups, but was unwilling to reveal his name to the public.

Others might not be able to see any problems.

However, as the person involved, Xiao s.h.i.+ immediately saw through the Night Patrol Division's intentions.

"They want to use this matter to intimidate the Senluo Organization so that the bounty hunters of the Senluo Organization won't dare to a.s.sa.s.sinate them in Golden Cloud City again. They're using me as a tiger skin to scare the Senluo Organization!"

Xiao s.h.i.+ did not expect the Night Patrol Division to have such a trick up their sleeves.

"If the bounty hunters of the Senluo Organization are so frightened that they don't dare to come to the Golden Cloud City to a.s.sa.s.sinate people again, then, before I reach the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level, I won't have a suitable target to kill!"

Xiao s.h.i.+ frowned.

Now that he had experienced the benefits of killing bounty hunters, he couldn't wait for the Senluo Organization to send more bounty hunters to the city to a.s.sa.s.sinate a genius like Cen Qingci. If they didn't dare to come because of this incident, it wouldn't be a good thing for him.

However, he thought about it carefully.

He felt that since the Senluo Organization was a huge force that could contend with the Feiyuan Palace and had been standing strong against the Feiyuan Palace for so many years, they should be able to see through the Night Patrol Division's intentions.

They weren't so easily intimidated.

"No matter what, I should try my best to keep an eye on Cen Qingci these few days and see if any more big fish will come knocking on my door."

Although Xiao s.h.i.+ already had the ability to fight a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist after mastering the ability to release his blood and qi, he had not reached the ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level in terms of blood and qi.

If they really fought, he might not be a match for those ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artists. Moreover, through the Senluo Organization's Genius Bounty List, he had already realized that there was a huge gap between Martial Entry-Level Nines.

With his cautious personality, it was impossible for him to blindly and confidently wipe out the evil forces around him just because his strength had increased. It was better to wait until he broke through to the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level before taking action.

Just like that, Xiao s.h.i.+ paid attention to Cen Qingci as he patrolled as usual every day. As long as he pasted the [Enemy Seeking Talisman] when he's around Cen Qingci, he would be able to detect all the hostile people in the vicinity.

This was to find the hidden bounty hunter.

Although Cen Qingci did not encounter any danger last time, she was clearly reprimanded by the captain of Team A after the incident. She was still a little afraid.

After all, from the beginning to the end, she did not even realize that she was being watched. If not for the fact that the unnamed night patroller had taken action before the bounty hunter, she might not even be alive now.

This also made her extremely grateful to the night patroller who didn't want to reveal his name. At the same time, she realized that she was indeed too unguarded. Now, she was much more vigilant than before.

Xiao s.h.i.+ found her tense expression funny. Although this woman was talented and had the ability to fight above her level, she was still too young and inexperienced. Even though she was a little more alert, if she really summoned another bounty hunter, she would not be able to detect it.

At the same time, it would not make it difficult for the bounty hunters to a.s.sa.s.sinate her.

"It's not bad to have such bait. I can catch a big fis.h.!.+" Xiao s.h.i.+ smiled.

Currently, Cen Qingci has already completed this round of missions. The huge beast she dragged into the city with the iron chain was the key to this round of missions.

Therefore, before the next round of missions began, she didn't even have to go out of the city to carry out missions. This also allowed Xiao s.h.i.+ to ensure that this bait would stay in the city for the time being. If she left the city, Xiao s.h.i.+ could not guarantee that this bait would not be swallowed by the big fish.

Just like that, he waited for a day.

Finally, before night fell, the fish had taken the bait!

Through the [Enemy Seeking Talisman] on his body, Xiao s.h.i.+ once again discovered a person with strong hostility near Cen Qingci.

The huge red ball of light floating above the other party's head was extremely eye-catching. It was hard not to notice. He had dark skin and an ordinary appearance. He had an honest smile on his face and looked like an honest old farmer.

It had to be said that this person's disguise was even more advanced than the previous bounty hunter. Each of his expressions and actions were quite natural, without any flaws. He was like an ordinary old farmer.

There was no trace of disguise at all. This made Xiao s.h.i.+ marvel at the powerful disguises of these bounty hunters again.

Unfortunately, in front of his [Enemy Seeking Talisman], no matter how well they disguised themselves, he would still see through them at a glance.

As usual, Xiao s.h.i.+ left a mark on his body. Through the mark's perception of his Qi and blood, he could clearly sense that this person's Qi and blood fluctuations were at Martial Entry-Level Eight.

However, his blood and qi were much richer than the previous bounty hunter. He should be the strongest type of eighth-stage Martial Entry-Level. Usually, as long as he did not encounter a Martial Entry-Level Nine, he could basically do whatever he wanted.

He could even escape from a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist. If it was before Xiao s.h.i.+'s third body tempering, perhaps he would need to make more preparations for this.

But now…

"Let's finish him off tonight!"

As time pa.s.sed, the sky gradually darkened. The thin stars in the sky were like fireflies in a cemetery. They were insignificant and only worthy of decoration.

This was a night suitable for killing.

The moonlight shone on the ground, reflecting the darkness. Xiao s.h.i.+ was dressed in black, and his entire face was hidden under a wide hood.

According to the location of the mark, he came to a simple house. Through his senses, even though there was a wall between them, he could still see the bounty hunter sitting on a chair in his mind, seemingly deep in thought.

Killing intent flickered in Xiao s.h.i.+'s eyes.

BOOM!

The extremely compressed blood and qi in his body exploded, causing his fluctuations to soar rapidly. He went from Martial Entry-Level Five to Martial Entry-Level Eight in an instant.

"Release!" Xiao s.h.i.+ growled in his heart.

The Qi and blood in his body immediately spread out and surrounded his body like a stream of air. He took a step forward. After using Arc Flash, his entire body seemed to have turned into a blood-colored lightning bolt. With an incomparably shocking speed, he slammed into the wall outside the house.
