"You're Shen Xiang, right!" The middle-aged man held a piece of paper towards Shen Xiang. On the paper was his likeness, drawn very realistically. Although he was currently dressed simply, his eyes, face shape, nose, and mouth were very similar.

Shen Xiang had heard that the Beast Martial Sect distributed many of these drawings. This made him very angry. He only killed someone from the Beast Martial Sect to save his own life, but now he was being publicly hunted by them. He made a determination at that moment: one day, he would definitely settle the scores with the Beast Martial Sect.

"Are you going to kill me and claim your reward of 100 thousand spirit stones" Shen Xiang clenched his fists tightly and asked solemnly. He guessed that the person who had targeted him just now was probably sent by this middle-aged man.

There were thousands of people in the valley. Most of them were martial artists who had reached the Profound Martial realm, but they had been unable to find any treasures. However, they caught sight of Shen Xiang and were drawn by the prospect of 100 thousand spirit stones. But they didn't dare move, and instead were watching the unfolding events with great interest, knowing that Shen Xiang wouldn't be easy to deal with.

"The Beast Martial Sect said that they would reward anyone who brings back your head the sum of 100 thousand spirit stones," said the middle-aged man with a cold smile, then put away the drawing. This man was wearing black clothing and exuded a strange qi aura that was different from those around him. Moreover, Shen Xiang thought he noticed something familiar about this aura.

"You're from the Hundred Poison Sect" asked Shen Xiang coldly. The Hundred Poison Sect was one of the Five Evil Sects, notorious for terrifying martial artists from the Nine Provinces. They were feared because they could kill people without their victims even knowing it, and many of those killed died without realizing how they had succumbed to the poison.

He was right. The people around him suddenly changed their expressions when they heard the name 'Hundred Poison Sect', and began to withdraw from Shen Xiang's group, creating larger gaps between them. Those who were afraid of death hurriedly moved away from the valley.

The middle-aged man was visibly alarmed, as he said with a cold laugh, "You're indeed the rising star, and you have great eyesight!"

Shen Xiang realized that there were some True Martial realm cultivators watching from a distance. The Hundred Poison Sect was targeted by the righteous sects, but despite that, these True Martial realm martial artists did not move.

They must have been watching the spectacle intentionally hoping that Shen Xiang would be killed, and only then would they move. Not only could they claim 100 thousand spirit stones for his death, but it would also be easy for them to use the same technique on Shen Xiang. The sum of 100 thousand spirit stones would be a considerable amount for these True Martial realm cultivators.

"I'm certain that I'll claim the reward of 100 thousand spirit stones!" said the middle-aged man with a feral grin. With one mighty movement, he sent out countless sharp needles at Shen Xiang. These needles were permeated with a colorless and odorless poison gas.

Having noticed that this was a disciple from the Hundred Poison Sect, Shen Xiang became vigilant and released his consciousness. The Hundred Poison Sect was known for its use of various poisons, making it dangerous to be targeted by them. If he couldn't detect the poisons being used against him, he would definitely die.

Suddenly, Shen Xiang's body was enveloped by a faint black qi. This black qi instantly transformed into crystal water, forming a shield that protected him as the needles flew towards him and were absorbed by it.

This was a new defensive martial arts technique that Shen Xiang had recently learned, called the Black Tortoise Heaven罩. Despite appearing to be a gentle layer of water, it was capable of resisting powerful forces. Even if ten Profound Martial realm 10th level martial artists used their full strength, they could only just break through this layer of water qi, while the person inside was unharmed.

The sharp needles that were laced with poison gas dissipated in the water qi layer, leaving no trace of their existence. This made the middle-aged man's eyes widen in surprise. Despite being at the Profound Martial realm 10th level himself, he had unleashed his full strength on those poison needles, only to find that they were useless against Shen Xiang's Black Tortoise Heaven罩.

The attack power of the Black Tortoise Divine Art wasn't strong, but its defensive capabilities were extraordinary. It required little qi to use, and was something Shen Xiang had only learned after advancing to the Profound Martial realm 10th level. He then allowed his Black Tortoise Heaven罩 to continue protecting him, before shooting towards the middle-aged man.

The martial arts of the Hundred Poison Sect weren't particularly powerful, but their strengths were in their poisons and various weapons. Shen Xiang's attacks were very fast, even faster than the middle-aged man himself or those watching from afar. He had arrived before the middle-aged man could react.

Shen Xiang hit out with his palm, causing the ground beneath him to shatter and crumble. He started off strong with a Tier 5 earth-grade technique, Thunder Palm. His palm force carried intense vibrations and pumped powerful qi into the middle-aged man's body, causing him to cough up blood instantly.

The middle-aged man could feel his body being fragmented like a bomb going off inside, as his bones and meridians shattered. Only those who had been hit by Shen Xiang could truly understand the domination of his strength, while others would not believe that someone at the Profound Martial realm 10th level could release such power!

Shen Xiang sneered as he looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground in pain. Just when he was about to move towards him and kill him, the middle-aged man suddenly pulled out a black bow and arrow. It was clearly visible that the black arrow shot from this bow pierced his heart.

So fast! Shen Xiang instinctively strengthened the defensive layer of his Black Tortoise Heaven罩. The black arrow soared towards him, and with a loud bang, the protective shield was broken by it. A short arrow of about an inch long hung in front of his chest, floating there.

"Phew! Very close to piercing my heart!" Shen Xiang jumped away, landing in midair. He moved his palm towards the middle-aged man on the ground and struck him with a green qi-formed hand. He pressed down hard, smashing his body into pieces as blood splattered everywhere.

Shen Xiang took a deep breath, remembering the swift and vicious arrow from just now, his heart still pounding. He could see that this arrow was formed by qi, very powerful, rendering his Black Tortoise Heaven罩 useless.

Shen Xiang pulled the black bow and arrow apart, washed it clean with water, then infused his qi into it. It instantly formed a small black arrow on the bow.

"Could this be the third-ranked Death-Claiming Magic弩 in the Seven Divine Tools" said a voice from afar. This caused shockwaves among the crowd as only a few people could possess seven-grade divine tools, and most of them were at the True Martial realm. Moreover, those that ranked tenth would be even more formidable.

Shen Xiang was delighted. This Death-Claiming Magic弩 was very easy to use, making it perfect for deceiving people. Just as he was about to put away the Death-Claiming Magic弩, a strong wave of qi descended from above.

This was a powerful blast of qi, like a large rock falling from the sky and smashing into his body. In that instant, Shen Xiang felt his qi organs being compressed together before exploding all at once. This caused him to cough up blood and fall onto the ground.

Someone was attacking him, and he was at the True Martial realm! Shen Xiang immediately thought of this. Someone must want to obtain his Death-Claiming Magic弩.first,” said Dragon Snowy Beauty, “Your flesh cultivation is very easy. All you need to do is use rabbit blood, but this little guy can’t use it.
