br>Xue Feng was Emotionless Sword.

His kill count was at an impressive 98, Rank 5.

Above him was Sword Maniac and Sword Tiger.

One was rank 3, the other was rank 1.

At rank 3, the kill count was at 105.
At rank 1, the kill count was at 145.

Sword Tiger was addicted to battle, which was why he had a higher kill count than Sword Maniac.
This didn’t mean that Sword Tiger’s ability was superior to Sword Maniac’s.

“Combining all the kill counts from the 400 plus direct disciples, they have killed a total of over a thousand Earth Realm martial artists.
It sure is a horrific number.”

What does over a thousand Earth Realm martial artist mean? During the days when the four major clans were still in Cloud Mist City, there was only a total of less than 20 Earth Realm martial artists.

Even medium sized cities like Silver Rich City would only have a total of about 30 Earth Realm martial artists.

Of course, this wasn’t the kill count of a single year, but the accumulated number of around a dozen years.

If direct disciples weren’t able to breakthrough to the Heaven Realm before the age of 40, they would automatically be given a high grade outer sect elder title.

Most people were promoted to direct disciples around 20 odd years of age.
Before they reached the age of 40, they would have lived around 10+ years of a direct disciples life.

It was still acceptable to accumulate over a thousand Earth Realm martial artists kills in over two decades.

But what Li Fuchen didn’t know, was that during these two decades, the number of Earth Realm demon dao martial artists killed wasn’t just over a thousand, but at least twice that number.

Many of the previous direct disciples who weren’t direct disciples anymore would have their names removed from the Hunter’s Board.

Those that passed away would also have their names removed.

If those kill counts were to be taken into consideration, twice was just a minimum.

There was something else Li Fuchen didn’t know either.
It was that direct disciples didn’t just only hunt demon dao members, but other sect’s Earth Realm martial artists too.

Such as the remnants of the Evil Fist Sect.

Or Earth Realm martial artists from Spirit Hidden Sect or Violent Sabre Sect.
Neighbouring sects would definitely have conflicts.
Although a conflict wouldn’t lead to a war, but small scale battles do happen often.

A few years back, the Azure Water Sect had a small scale battle with the Heaven Fiend Sect.
There were at least a dozen Heaven Realm martial artists and over a thousand Earth Realm martial artists involved.

Time passed as days went by.

Group 10 was back to its normal peaceful days.
Even when there were missions, it would seldomly be assigned to Group 10 unless it was a big-scale mission.

The first month ended and it was now the first day of the second month.
As expected, Li Fuchen’s ranking had dropped from 198 to 215.

Li Fuchen didn’t mind it.

Kill counts were related to how many contribution points one could get.

For every Earth Realm demon dao martial artist slayed, the reward was 20,000 contribution points.

Li Fuchen didn’t have a lack for contribution points, so he didn’t bother about his ranking or his kill count.

In the Devil’s Hand Guild headquarters located somewhere underground…

A group of black shadows sat in a circle within a dark and eerie conference hall.

“Our branch has fallen to the Azure Water Sect’s seventh branch.
We cannot remain silent, we must retaliate.”

“Of course we need to retaliate, but we must take action quickly.
We need to use the shortest amount of time to eliminate the survivors of the seventh branch and not let the other branches have time to provide reinforcements.”

“Let’s teach the Azure Water Sect a lesson! Let them know the consequences of provoking our Devil’s Hand Guild!”

“When do we act?”

“Three days later.
We will gather all our members during these three days and eradicate the seventh branch in one go.
We will also take the opportunity to hit the nearby sixth and fifth branch viciously.”

“Alright, three days later then.
After we eliminate the seventh branch, we will then join the Five Poison Triad.
They have already sent men to our branches.”

The conference ended quickly.
The seventh branch members didn’t know that a mass-scale assault was about to strike them.
When it happens, it will certainly be a blood shed.
