46 Two Bounty Hunters!

That night, after returning to Golden Cloud City,

Xiao Shi could not wait to start Body Tempering.

Under the effect of the Beautiful Silk Flower, his body began to strengthen in pain. As the Body Tempering progressed, the boundless blood and qi in his body seemed to be guided and quickly circulated in his body.

It washed over his body in an almost unreasonable manner. Wherever it passed, the blood and qi fused into his bones, flesh, skin, and meridians, causing them to heat up.

This caused Xiao Shi’s body to undergo a comprehensive strengthening under the strengthening of this blood and qi.

Strengthening the body through blood and qi was something that had never happened before.

Although this strengthening would cause the blood and qi in his body to be constantly consumed, the blood and qi would recover after being consumed. It would not disappear after being consumed.

At the same time, as his body strengthened, his blood and qi continued to expand and become more and more abundant.

Xiao Shi’s body swelled slightly and became stronger than before. At the same time, his bones stretched and were no longer compressed.

His height finally increased a little. His entire body became slender and well-proportioned. The majestic and thick blood qi in his body, as well as the defense and strength of his body, made him clearly feel the huge improvement under this Body Tempering.

Especially in terms of blood and qi.

Although there were some losses in strengthening the body with blood and qi, after every Body Tempering, his blood and qi would increase greatly.

Xiao Shi felt the strength of the blood and qi in his body. He was already very close to the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level. If he were to fight a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist like Zhuo Fu again, even if he did not rely on external items, Xiao Shi would not be at a disadvantage anymore.

“My current strength is basically comparable to the weakest ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level!”

Xiao Shi’s eyes were filled with excitement.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for someone at the eighth level of the Martial Entry-Level to catch up to someone at the ninth level. Just the release of Qi and blood at the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level was an insurmountable chasm.

But Body Tempering was an exception!

After four Body Temperings, Xiao Shi had the strength comparable to the weakest ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level.

If he could complete the remaining six sessions of Body Tempering, Xiao Shi felt that he might be able to kill a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist without relying on external objects.

This could not help but make him look forward to the subsequent Body Tempering.

Now, if he wanted to obtain more natural treasures, the bounty hunters in the city were the most suitable targets to kill.

This made Xiao Shi’s eyes fill with anticipation. However, his personality was stable. He felt that he had to prepare well. After all, this person was not the weakest ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level, so he could not be careless.

After carefully thinking about how to kill him, Xiao Shi first searched for the other party’s whereabouts in the city the next morning. Because the mark he had condensed on the other party’s body could only exist for a day at most, now that the mark had dissipated, he needed to condense a new mark on his body.

Fortunately, although he did not attack this bounty hunter in the past few days, he had also grasped a few places where this person often appeared through the mark.

He successfully found him on a street. When he passed by the other party, Xiao Shi silently left a blood qi mark on him. He was prepared to kill him tonight.

However, the moment Xiao Shi walked past him, “Hmm?” He suddenly discovered an abnormal situation.

At this moment, he had the [Enemy Seeking Talisman] on him, allowing him to clearly detect all the hostility within 300 meters.

He suddenly realized that apart from this bounty hunter, there was also a hostile person not far from him.

In actuality, Xiao Shi had used the Enemy Seeking Talisman so many times to detect the hostility of others. However, the hostility was not directed at Cen Qingci. They happened to appear near Cen Qingci, so Xiao Shi could sense their hostility.

As for these people, although Xiao Shi knew that their hostility was not directed at Cen Qingci, he would still choose to leave blood qi marks on them to verify their identities.

He wanted to make sure that they were not disguised bounty hunters.

At this moment, he sensed another hostility.

Although the hostility was not very strong, this person’s location attracted Xiao Shi’s attention. This person was located in a hidden dark place. His figure and appearance could not be seen. He did not even know that there was someone there!

If not for the [Enemy Seeking Talisman] showing the other party’s hostility, Xiao Shi would not have discovered that there was actually a person hiding there.

This immediately made him wary.

He walked past silently and quickly left a blood qi mark on the person hiding in the dark. Then, when he used the blood qi mark to sense the blood qi fluctuations of the person hiding in the dark, he immediately realized that this was actually a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level powerhouse.

“There’s also another bounty hunter!”

Xiao Shi’s heart trembled.

Through the blood qi mark, he could accurately determine the identity of the bounty hunter.

After all, the special cultivation technique cultivated by bounty hunters caused their blood and qi to be in a motionless state most of the time, making them look like ordinary people. It was impossible to determine their true cultivation through their blood and qi fluctuations.

Therefore, these ordinary-looking people who did not seem to have cultivation were definitely bounty hunters once he sensed their powerful blood qi with his blood qi marks.

This was also one of Xiao Shi’s best ways to identify bounty hunters.

This kind of screening method was even more accurate than what he had found through the Enemy Seeking Talisman.

“There are actually two bounty hunters! And one of them is still hiding in the dark!”

Xiao Shi felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, when he first discovered the bounty hunter on the surface, he was not in a hurry to attack.

If he had attacked rashly at that time, the consequences were unimaginable!

“This person is hiding in the dark. Either he wants to suddenly attack me when I attack the bounty hunter on the surface, or… he wants to know my identity.”

Xiao Shi’s expression was solemn.

After discovering the bounty hunter hiding in the dark, it was not difficult to deduce his true intentions. No wonder the Senluo Organization still dared to send people over after he killed two bounty hunters in a row.

It turned out that it had been arranged long ago.

He was almost tricked by them.

“They sent two ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level bounty hunters to deal with me. They really think highly of me!”

While feeling afraid of this, Xiao Shi’s eyes gradually burned. If he could kill these two bounty hunters at the same time, the harvest would be incomparably huge to him. Especially if both of them dropped natural treasures, he could directly complete the sixth Body Tempering sessions.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shi’s heart burned even more.

He could not help but seriously think about whether he could kill these two ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level bounty hunters at the same time.
