41 The Shark Who Came Prepared

Late at night.

In a residence near Golden Cloud City.

“Remember, our mission this time is mainly to lure that anonymous night patroller and see who he is. So, no matter what happens, you can’t appear, nor can you take action!” The tall and big bounty hunter had already disguised as a simple and honest man. He said solemnly to another bounty hunter beside him. “Even if I’m no match for him or die in battle, you can’t appear. You must bring the information back to the organization!”

The other bounty hunter nodded. “Don’t worry. I know what to do. From now onwards, I will hide around your surroundings and pay close attention to your actions. As long as that mysterious night patroller did something to you, I will know who he is! But if that person underwent a disguise, then I will need you to unveil his disguise during the battle.”

The tall and big bounty hunter smiled. “Of course I know this. Don’t worry. As long as he attacks me, I will let you see his true appearance, no matter how good his disguise is.”

In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day since Xiao Shi started patrolling the city.

The mission period was a total of ten days. It will continue till the next mission.

Xiao Shi patrolled as usual. During the patrol, he kept a close eye on Cen Qingci’s surroundings, always seeing whether this bait had fished up any big fishes or not.

It was unknown whether it was because of his two kills that let Cen Qingci be the same as the other night patrollers, thinking that there would not be any bounty hunters that dare to come to Golden Cloud City anymore. Which meant that she had lowered her guard once again.

Xiao Shi was also speechless. He felt that this woman had experienced too few setbacks and her path was too smooth. She lacked the beating of society!

However, such bait was a high-quality bait that could easily attract big fish.

It was a pity that he had caused too much of a commotion the previous two times he caught fish. It made the other fish seem to not dare to come again.

After observing for a day, he did not see the bounty hunter who had infiltrated again.

Xiao Shi could not help but start to think about breaking through to the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level.

According to his investigation and understanding over the past few days, he had already confirmed that different ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artists had completely different strengths.

The ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level represented the limit of the physical body.

At least for Martial Entry-Level martial artists without body tempering, once they stepped into the ninth level of the Martial Entry-Level, it meant that they had reached the limit of their bodies.

And the limits of each person’s body were often different.

According to the cultivation techniques everyone cultivated and their physiques, it would cause their physical limits to be different. Thus, at the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level, there would also be a clear difference in strength.

Among the many cultivation techniques in the Seven Star Province, although the Red Tiger Technique was not the top, it was still considered a relatively top cultivation technique.

Therefore, the disciples who cultivated the Red Tiger Technique to the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level were generally stronger than the bandits outside.

This made Xiao Shi realize something.

The ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist he had encountered for the first time was only the weakest kind of ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist.

“With my current strength, I can only fight the weakest ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist. Moreover, the chances of winning are not high. Although I should be able to kill them with the items on me, there’s far more than one ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist among the evil forces outside!”

Xiao Shi knew that killing a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level powerhouse and destroying an evil faction that had ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artists were two completely different concepts.

With his current strength, it was clearly difficult for him to do so.

He had to wait.

In the evening, Xiao Shi came to Cen Qingci’s side and looked for fish through the [Enemy Seeking Talisman] as usual.

Although he did not have much hope, he still had to give it a try. As he stuck the [Enemy Seeking Talisman] on his body, Xiao Shi began to look around at the crowd.

“Hmm?”

He suddenly made a discovery. He saw a burly man with a red ball of light on his head in the crowd. This person was the same as the two bounty hunters from before. He had no flaws in his disguise.

Unfortunately, under the effect of the Enemy Seeking Talisman, all his disguises were useless. Xiao Shi saw through it at a glance.

However, Xiao Shi discovered something different from this bounty hunter. The red ball of light above its head was not as bright and huge as the two bounty hunters from before. This also meant that this person was not as hostile to Cen Qingci as the two bounty hunters from before.

Xiao Shi couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He became vigilant. He silently condensed a blood qi mark on the other party. Through the perception of his blood and qi through the mark, he realized that the fluctuation of this person’s blood and qi was extremely terrifying!

This was clearly the Qi and blood fluctuation of a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level. Moreover, it was even more shocking than the qi and blood of the ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level that he had encountered for the first time.

Xiao Shi was not too surprised by this.

The Senluo Organization had lost two eighth-stage Martial Entry-Level bounty hunters in a row, so it was naturally impossible for them to let any bounty hunters below the eighth-stage Martial Entry-Level assassinate them. They would definitely send out ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level bounty hunters.

“There’s a shark here!”

Xiao Shi’s eyes flickered. If there was still [Blood Corrosion], he was confident that he could kill even such a shark. Unfortunately, after using [Blood Erosion], it did not drop again.

“With the items on me and the sneak attack, I should still have a chance to kill him, but there’s a certain risk.”

Xiao Shi fell into deep thought.

This person was not like the ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist from the Glazed Moon Mountain back then. Through the blood and qi fluctuations he sensed, he could tell that the other party was much stronger than the ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist from the Glazed Moon Mountain back then.

Facing such an expert, it was not easy to kill it.

Besides, through the red ball of light above the other party’s head, Xiao Shi also realized that this person’s hostility towards Cen Qingci was not very strong.

He didn’t need to think to know that this bounty hunter was not here to assassinate Cen Qingci. He was here for him!

He was different from the two bounty hunters from before. Previously, the two bounty hunters were here to assassinate Cen Qingci. However, the target of the bounty hunters this time was him.

This made Xiao Shi even more unable to act rashly.

The other party had clearly come prepared. He would definitely be on guard at all times. Even if it was a sneak attack, it would be very difficult to achieve the same effect as before.

“This is a cautious shark. It’s not easy to deal with.”

Xiao Shi shook his head. Since that was the case, then he would leave him hanging for a while. In any case, he was in the dark while he was in the light. The initiative was in his hands. As long as he did not make a move, he could only wait.

“Then let him wait.”

Xiao Shi decided to ignore him. Although he was eager to have fish now, Xiao Shi knew that not every fish could be eaten by him.

A shark like this was too strenuous to eat. He’ll take it slow. He would eat him when he was strong enough. In any case, this shark would stay in Golden Cloud City and would not swim for the time being.
