50: breakthrough

The Director of the Night Watch Department was having a headache now.

Initially, he just wanted to help this mysterious expert create a distraction and incidentally use his reputation to scare the Senluo Organization...

Because of this, it was publicly announced that the one who killed the Bounty Hunter was an anonymous Bounty Hunter.

However, now that this person had ascended the Genius Bounty List.

Not only did the Flying Origin Palace want to know who this person was, but even the Red Tiger Sect Sect Master had also grown curious about this anonymous Bounty Hunter.

This put the Director of the Night Watch Department in an awkward position.

"How the hell would I know who he is!"

Faced with the relentless questioning from all sides.

The Director of the Night Watch Department could only bite the bullet and give a unified, righteous reply.

"Apologies! I promised the other party that I would not leak his identity. No matter who asks, I will not tell them. This is a promise I made, and I will not break it!"

Team Leader Ding, who knew the truth, gave a thumbs-up at this.

"Director, you are so righteous!"

...

When Xiao Shi finished his fifth Body Refining, it was already late into the night.

This Body Refining was just like usual.

All aspects of his body were enhanced once more.

His Qi and blood surged greatly.

His strength had improved further.

Although there wasn't much change in his physique, his skin became more glossy and hydrated, especially at night.

His entire state was vastly different from daytime.

Just like the night-blooming cereus, blooming at night.

At this moment, Xiao Shi was just like being in this blooming state.

Originally, the cultivation of Night Tiger had given Xiao Shi an affinity for the night, and now this sense of affinity grew even stronger.

Making him love the night even more.

Immediately, he tried to carry out the cultivation of Night Tiger.

In an instant, he felt...

The cultivation of Night Tiger was much smoother than before!

It was even smoother than when he used the night frost dew!

This thrilled Xiao Shi immensely.

This Body Refining not only brought an improvement in strength but also solved the problem of slow cultivation for Night Tiger.

With his current cultivation speed...

He believed he would soon be able to Cultivate Night Tiger to the ninth layer.

Catching up to the progress of the Crimson Tiger Art!

Xiao Shi was very confident about this.

Just like that.

In the remaining time, Xiao Shi devoted himself heart and soul to cultivation.

During the day, he cultivated the Crimson Tiger Art.

When night came, he carried out the cultivation of Night Tiger.

Occasionally, he would also drink with familiar Night Watch members like Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan.

And then brag with Cen Qingci about their shared idol.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Inside the room.

Along with the complete circulation of the ninth cycle of the Crimson Tiger Art, Xiao Shi finally completed the final cultivation of the Crimson Tiger Art, thereby directly breaking through and stepping into the highest level of the Entering Martial Realm, the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level!

Xiao Shi felt the full and surging Qi and blood within his body. At the very instant of the Breakthrough, his internal Qi and blood experienced a terrifying surge.

It was at least four to five times more than before the Breakthrough!

Such a massive amount of Qi and blood...

Made him feel that if he were to face those two Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level Bounty Hunters from the Senluo Organization again, even without relying on the Swamp Array, he would be able to kill them!

Usually, the vast majority of Martial Warriors of the Entrance to Martial Realm would reach the limit of their physical bodies after cultivating to the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level, unable to improve further.

But for Xiao Shi, who engaged in Body Refining.

His Physical Body had no limits.

Just at the stage of the Entering Martial Realm, he could still undergo Body Refining four more times.

As long as he achieved nine Body Refinings, he could then Cultivate the Nine Refinements Vajra Body, allowing the power of his Physical Body to break through the Entering Martial Realm and step into the level of the Qi Martial Realm!

"Next are the Heaven And Earth Treasures needed for Body Refining!"

Anticipation welled up in Xiao Shi's eyes.

Because the Senluo Organization side had been completely frightened by the killings, no more Bounty Hunters dared to enter Jin Yun City.

This resulted in Xiao Shi not being able to see any Bounty Hunters in the city throughout this past month.

In terms of missions.

Although he had completed three more missions.

However, these three missions were relatively simple.

Two of the missions were even completed smoothly without any kills.

In the end, not only did he fail to kill any Martial Artists above the Entering Martial Realm Seventh Level, but he also only harvested a Medicinal Pill that could enhance perception in the end.

And the quality was not high either.

After consuming it, Xiao Shi did not feel much of an enhancement.

Although there wasn't much harvest this month.

But Xiao Shi focused mainly on cultivation this month.

Besides successfully completing the circulation of the ninth cycle of the Crimson Tiger Art, regarding Night Tiger, he was also about to Cultivate it to the ninth layer.

This kind of cultivation speed was unprecedented throughout the entire Red Tiger Sect.

Even if he used night frost dew every day, it would be impossible to have such a fast cultivation speed.

And once he cultivated Night Tiger to the ninth layer, Xiao Shi's strength in the night would be three times that of the daytime!

Now, as his cultivation reached the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level.

Xiao Shi was also preparing to start annihilating the evil forces around Jin Yun City.

During this past month.

He had gained a certain understanding of the numerous large and small forces around.

Thus selecting suitable targets.

For Xiao Shi, in terms of kills, he still tried to focus mainly on killing enemies or people who commit evil deeds.

Although this was a turbulent world...

But Xiao Shi could not manage to kill everyone he saw without distinguishing between good and bad.

He still had a bottom line in his heart.

"Then, let's start with this Fengsha Stronghold!"

Xiao Shi quickly had a target.

Fengsha Stronghold was a bandit stronghold.

Usually, these bandits in the stronghold were people who committed all sorts of evil, and killing them would not bring any psychological burden.

And according to the information and intelligence investigated by Xiao Shi, the strongest person in this stronghold was only at the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level, and there was no existence of the Qi Martial Realm.

It was just right.

That very night.

Xiao Shi set out.

Currently, he happened to be in the gap between missions, and his time was ample.

That night, he came directly to Fengsha Stronghold.

This bandit stronghold was not too far from Jin Yun City.

Located in a mountain col.

When Xiao Shi appeared in this stronghold dressed in the attire of a Night Watch.

The numerous bandits in the stronghold all surrounded him tightly with fierce glares flashing in their eyes.

On the faces of these bandits, not only was there no fear of the Night Watch, but instead they were filled with murderous intent and greed.

What they thought in their hearts was that by finishing off the Night Watch, they could take the Night Watch's Corpse to exchange for a bounty at the Senluo Organization.

One by one, they rubbed their hands and were eager to try.

"A single person dares to break into our stronghold?"

The master of Fengsha Stronghold had a cold gaze.

Especially when he found that the Qi and blood fluctuations on the opponent's body were only at the Entering Martial Realm Sixth Level, the murderous intent in his heart also rose accordingly.

Only, before he could give the order to strike.

This Night Watch wearing a bamboo hat and covering his face with a black veil made his move directly a step faster than him.

His figure flashed.

Resembling a flashing arc of light.

Wherever he passed.

The surrounding bandits all fell to the ground.

"You're courting death!"

The master of Fengsha Stronghold let out a low roar.

Rapidly stepping forward, his Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level cultivation erupted, and together with the other bandits, they charged toward this Night Watch.

The murderous intent in Xiao Shi's eyes was intense.

There was even a gleam of excitement and anticipation.

In his eyes, these bandits were simply items.

As long as this stronghold was wiped out.

The harvest would definitely be bountiful!
