In the pitch-black forest.

Splat, a gush of blood sprays forth, its stench overpowering.

Like a small fountain erupting.

Jiang Shi slowly rose from the ground, grasping Zhang Kuohai's head with one hand, lifting it high. Underneath the severed head were thick, black-red nerves, writhing violently like worms.

He had forcibly torn Zhang Kuohai's head out from its roots.

Zhang Kuohai's eyes widened in anger, blood leaking from the corners, seeming as if he would not rest in peace.

The headless body struggled awkwardly on the ground, its hands twitching continuously, attempting to gather strength once more, but with the head lost, it was like a rootless floating plant. No matter how much it struggled, it was all in vain.

Moments later, the imposing body finally became completely motionless, stiffening.

Jiang Shi let out a cold laugh, looking at the head in his hand, and said, "Master Zhang the Second, may you have a pleasant journey!"

Whoosh!

He summoned all his strength and suddenly threw the head far away, the force, weighing countless pounds, instantly hurling the head out more than several miles away, disappearing swiftly into the distant sky.

After finishing all this, Jiang Shi turned around and walked away.

He didn't glance at the headless body again.

Had the head been removed and still could survive, Jiang Shi would fully accept it.

His body began rapidly recovering to its original state, undoing all current conditions, as the mighty excessive power tore his body with numerous wounds once again, causing pain in his heart, veins, and flesh, as if being cut by knives all over.

He directly utilized his {Guiyuan Talent} to begin rapidly recovering, a radiant white light flickering over his body, rapidly healing the wounds caused by the excessive load.

But soon, Jiang Shi furrowed his brow, looking at his palms, arms, and chest, feeling a maddening itch, like being gnawed by ants, small red bumps appearing···

All these areas were stained by Zhang Kuohai's toxic blood.

With his {Guiyuan Talent}, it was unexpectedly difficult to expel these toxins in a short time.

"Damn it, they are all monsters!"

Jiang Shi cursed inwardly, while continuing to use {Guiyuan} to resist the poison, instinctively scratching with his palm, his mind fast at work, his eyes turning cold.

Thunder King!!

During the previous time at Black Lotus Headquarters, this man was enigmatic, hindering the Black Lotus Sect Leader's appointment of him.

Now, he even colluded with the Longxi Zhang Family, exposing his tracks!

Fortunately, he had spent five days earlier to once again improve his strength.

Otherwise, today might have ended differently, unable to escape from Master Zhang the Second.

Thunder King wants him dead!!

"Those who wish me dead, I will kill them!"

Jiang Shi's voice was icy, his mind still racing with thoughts.

Was the pursuit solely manipulated by Thunder King?

Could the Black Lotus Sect Leader be involved too?

"Not likely, if the Black Lotus Sect Leader wanted to kill me, he could have easily summoned experts to attack me while at the Holy Sect Headquarters, why go through the trouble of using others."

Jiang Shi muttered to himself, suddenly the image of Electric King flashed in his mind.

Then, facing Thunder King's obstructions, this old fellow's behavior seemed unusual as well.

This externally assigned task was precisely facilitated by this old fellow.

Could it be that this old fellow was involved too?

For a moment, Jiang Shi's heart surged.

Regardless, Thunder King was already on the blacklist, upon returning to Black Lotus Headquarters, he would find an opportunity to settle all of this.

When Jiang Shi arrived back at the dilapidated temple, his face suddenly stiffened, and he looked at his Demon Horse.

Only to see the Demon Horse currently excited, its mane high, neighing longingly, fervently chewing on a giant eagle, mouth filled with steel-like teeth, tearing the eagle into bloody shreds, large chunks of Demon Beast meat entering its mouth.

"This wretched horse even eats Demon Beast, not afraid of bursting itself."

But soon, Jiang Shi secretly rejoiced again.

The more this Demon Horse ate, the greater the evolutionary space for the future, it might just evolve into a Great Demon.

Next, he returned to the dilapidated temple, beginning to fully heal.

An entire night passed.

The following morning.

Jiang Shi furrowed his brow, rising from the ground, still sensing an aching and itchy sensation coming from his arms and chest.

After one night, the toxins in his body hadn't been completely expelled, though the small red bumps on the surface lessened significantly.

Indeed, the toxins in Zhang Kuohai's blood were no ordinary matter, any more potent could truly lead to near-death agony.

He exited the dilapidated temple and looked at his Demon Horse.

The Demon Horse had consumed over half of the giant eagle's corpse, its formerly skinny, skin-and-bone body now bulging like a small water tank.

Seeing Jiang Shi approach, the Demon Horse immediately struggled up from the ground, shaking its head fervently, showing great affection.

"Wretched beast, eating this fat, still able to travel?"

Jiang Shi laughed angrily.

The Demon Horse nodded repeatedly, letting out long neighs.

Jiang Shi directly mounted the horse's back, galloping forward once more.

Another two days passed.

Under the speed of this Demon Horse, Jiang Shi finally entered Pingzhou Xuanyang City by noon of the third day.

Within three days, the {Reputation Value} ascended from 7900 points, reaching 8900 points, continually rising at a gradual pace.

Approaching ever closer to the crucial milestone of ten thousand points.
