Chapter 97: Part of The Plan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Revenge?"
"Yes, revenge!" Wu Shouhan took a deep breath and explained, "Ke Wenji was a salesperson at Cloud Sea Mall. Because she was pretty, she was picked out by the general manager of the mall, Shi Yanyi, and was promoted to be the team manager.
"That's right. It's exactly as you think. Shi Yanyi is a member of the Shi Family.
"The Shi Family owns half of the shares of Cloud Sea Mall. Shi Yanyi was the assistant manager at first, but later on, he became the general manager because he made many contributions.
"Although this Shi Yanyi is only 30 years old, he is quite talented in business. Under his leadership, Cloud Sea Mall surpassed Tai Long Mall, Blue Sky Mall, and Dragon Rock Mall in just two years, becoming the top square of Qinghe City.
"He comes from a good family, has good looks, talent, and is not weak in martial arts. Such a person naturally attracts women. Ke Wenji was just one of them.
"Compared to Shi Yanyi's other women, Ke Wenji worshiped him the most. She was willing to do anything for Shi Yanyi, even if it meant sleeping with other men.
"When Shi Yanyi discovered this, he quickly turned Ke Wenji into his puppet… No, more accurately, his slave!
"I won't go into the details. In any case, Ke Wenji was under Shi Yanyi's control for as long as eight years.
"Until last month, when Ke Wenji was ordered by Shi Yanyi to play games with five men, one of the men used too much strength. He broke one of her arms and ruined her face. Only then did Shi Yanyi abandon her.
"It was raining heavily in the middle of the night. Ke Wenji, who was lying on the street, was suddenly enlightened and finally woke up."
"…So she started her revenge after she woke up?" Kong Dabao asked softly.
"Yes." Wu Shouhan sighed. "Ke Wenji knows that she was not Shi Yanyi's match, nor can she get close to him. She could not poison him even if she wanted to. There was only one way…"
"Turn into a Corpse Puppet?" Feng Tiejian couldn't help but interrupt. "Damn, she turned herself into a Corpse Puppet in order to take revenge on Shi Yanyi? Doesn't this foolish woman know that her actions will implicate many innocent people?"
"You already said that she's a fool. Why would she care about others?"
Wu Shouhan calmly narrated, "In order to take revenge on Shi Yanyi, Ke Wenji didn't care about anything else. After staying with Shi Yanyi for so many years, she had long figured out his routines. She couldn't get close to him, but she could still plant a bomb beside him.
"Ke Wenji calculated Shi Yanyi's daily schedule and hid under the bed in the lounge in his office at night. She then consumed poison to kill herself.
"Before she did that, he even sprayed odorless deodorant on her body to cover up her corpse stench.
"Shi Yanyi has been busy with the festival these past two days. He rarely went into the lounge, and when he did, he fell asleep once his head touched the pillow. Therefore, he didn't find Ke Wenji's body under his bed.
"Until the Corpse-raising Devil Insect Egg found her and turned her corpse into a Corpse Puppet!"
The dormitory fell silent.
Both Kong Dabao and Gu Bo remained silent after hearing the whole story.
Was Ke Wenji pitiful?
Of course.
But in order to take revenge on Shi Yanyi, she had implicated close to a thousand people today!
It was impossible to account for this.
The cause at the bottom of it all was Shi Yanyi.
Shi Yanyi was the source of this disaster!
"That b*stard!" Kong Dabao couldn't help but curse. "None of the martial families are good!"
"Perhaps we should be more straightforward. If Shi Yanyi had directly killed Ke Wenji back then, so many people wouldn't have died today," Gu Bo said softly.
"That's right. Ke Wenji's death is not to be regretted, and Shi Yanyi should get a miserable death. This fellow, being quickly dismembered by the Corpse Puppet is still too easy on him!" Feng Tiejian said indignantly.
"Shi Yanyi is still alive," Wu Shouhan said calmly.
"What?"
"Shi Yanyi didn't die? How is that possible? Didn't Ke Wenji become an intermediate-level Corpse Puppet? How could she have failed to kill Shi Yanyi?"
"Or is Shi Yanyi a fifth-grade expert?"
"…"
Feng Tiejian, Kong Dabao, and the others cried out in disbelief.
Su Jingxing recalled Wu Shouhan's words and asked in surprise, "Did Ke Wenji already know that even if she turned into a Corpse Puppet, she might not be able to kill Shi Yanyi?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Feng Tiejian was puzzled.
Confusion covered the faces of Kong Dabao and the others.
"Little Su guessed right."
Wu Shouhan looked at Su Jingxing appreciatively and said in a low voice, "That's right. Ke Wenji knew that even if she becomes a Corpse Puppet, she might not kill Shi Yanyi. After all, when she became a Corpse Puppet, it's unlikely that Shi Yanyi would so coincidentally be sleeping in the lounge.
"And that's the reality. When Ke Wenji turned into a Corpse Puppet and rushed out of the lounge, Shi Yanyi was having tea in a teahouse beside the square and admiring the festival he planned. It was very successful.
"Ke Wenji's real killing move was that she implicated many innocent people after turning into a Corpse Puppet. Shi Yanyi will be blamed for this crime.
"And what Ke Wenji wants is to use this crime to force the Martial Suppression Office and even Li Linzhou to personally come forward and kill Shi Yanyi!"
Tss!
Gasps sounded in the dormitory.
Other than Su Jingxing, everyone else was stunned.
So ruthless…
Too ruthless!
How was Ke Wenji crazy? She was clearly a genius lunatic!
For revenge against Shi Yanyi, she did not hesitate to commit s*icide and turn into a Corpse Puppet, killing thousands of innocent people. Then, she left behind video evidence and forced the Martial Suppression Office and even Li Linzhou to take action!
"What about the Shi Family?"
Recalling Shi Yanyi's identity, Feng Tiejian forced himself to calm down and asked, "Uncle Wu, has Shi Yanyi been hidden away by the Shi Family?"
"Yes."
Wu Shouhan nodded. "Shi Yanyi is missing and Ke Wenji's plan has also succeeded. When I was on my way here, I received news that Li Linzhou has personally led a team to the Shi Family!"
…
The Shi Family's residence.
More than a hundred Martial Suppression Office elites in uniforms surrounded Li Linzhou. They stood in the courtyard of the Shi Family and confronted its members.
At the front of the two groups were Li Linzhou and Shi Jinnian.
Li Linzhou, who was dressed in casual clothes, had his hands behind his back. He said calmly, "Patriarch Shi, hand over Shi Yanyi and this matter will end here."
"Sigh, to be honest, I don't know where Shi Yanyi has run off to or where he is hiding. If I knew, I would have sent this b*stard to the Martial Suppression Office!
Shi Jinnian sighed and said helplessly, "If you don't believe me, you can search as you please. If you find that b*stard, you don't have to do anything. I'll execute him myself!"
Li Linzhou remained calm and ordered, "Search."
"Yes!"
The elites from the Martial Suppression Office behind him immediately spread out and began to search the entire compound of the Shi Family.
During the process, even though the Shi Family members looked indignant, they did not stop them.
Half an hour later, the search ended.
"Sir, we didn't find him."
An expert from the Martial Suppression Office reported to Li Linzhou.
"See, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Shi Jinnian looked at Li Linzhou sincerely.
The latter remained silent.
The next second, he turned around and left.
"Let's go."
The elites from the Martial Suppression Office followed Li Linzhou and left the Shi Family estate.
Shi Jinnian led the Shi Family members to see them out.
Only when everyone vanished from sight did his expression recover its calm, and he said indifferently, "How is it?"
"Everything is going according to plan!"

Chapter 98: Problematic
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In order to guard against the appearances of Corpse Puppets that would result in disasters, every country on Earth Star had a 99% mature supervision system.
Under this system, the governments were supervising, the martial artists were supervising, and the people were supervising.
This was especially true for the lower-class citizens. They had the biggest numbers and were the most threatened. They were also the most active in their actions.
Not everyone who wanted to take revenge on society could successfully become a Corpse Puppet by hiding and committing s*icide.
Ke Wenji's situation was an exception.
Because this woman had cut off all ties with her family for Shi Yanyi's sake before she sobered up.
Her colleagues in Cloud Sea Mall also looked down on her.
Coincidences and luck both played a part in Ke Wenji's success.
Unlike Mei Jinju, it was Zhou Hongsong who had deliberately guided her.
Human society never lacked conspirators and ambitious people.
This is why the supervision system was not 100% mature.
In addition…
Unlike Earth, on Planet Earth, every time a Corpse Puppet caused casualties in the city, the officials would publicize the process to alert and warn the public.
The same went for this tragedy that Ke Wenji had caused.
After Li Linzhou and his subordinates made a fruitless visit to the Shi Family, the case was reported on television, the web, radio, and newspapers that night.
The Shi Family held a press conference to explain that they were also looking for Shi Yanyi. Once they find him, they would execute him publicly.
However, there was barely any effect. Few people believed them.
Overwhelming rebukes rained onto the Shi Family overnight.
The Shi Family's businesses were being widely boycotted.
Some of their shops were even wrecked and struck by feces by the relatives of the deceased who died in this incident.
The Shi Family's reputation fell to rock bottom at once.
Apart from insisting that they did not know anything and cooperating with the officials to find Shi Yanyi, the Shi Family did not do anything else.
Their shops were destroyed, their tires slashed, and their entrance was splashed with feces…
They did not pursue all these matters.
This attitude made many people believe that they really didn't know anything. The public opinion started to slowly calm down and the heat eased.
Of course, people were still cursing, especially in the crematorium, which never stopped.
But soon, an accident caused everyone in the crematorium to shift their attention.
Gu Bo's five-year-old daughter had gone missing!
As a long-time employee of the crematorium, Gu Bo knew every employee in the crematorium. He was close to everyone.
His five-year-old daughter, Gu Duoduo, had also attended some private gatherings with Gu Bo and had met many people.
Although the little girl was mischievous, she was kind and cute, and everyone loved her.
Su Jingxing had an agreement with the little girl to give her a live squirrel on her birthday.
Now she had suddenly gone missing.
Gu Bo was not the only one who was panicking. Everyone in the crematorium was also anxious. They got the people around them to search for clues and the little girl.
Su Jingxing did the same.
At night, he returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain after work and went online to search for traces.
The place where Gu Duoduo had gone missing was the playground next to the estate where she lived. Her grandmother took her there.
The old lady had been keeping an eye on her. To give way to a couple of rowdy kids, she looked away and shifted her position.
However, in less than three seconds that this happened, Gu Duoduo was gone.
The old lady called out first, then went forward and entered the playground. After searching for a long time, she did not see Gu Duoduo. It was as if the little girl had suddenly evaporated.
When Gu Bo and his wife rushed here, the people at the playground hurriedly cooperated to search for her.
But it was too late.
Gu Duoduo was missing.
Through the web, Su Jingxing first hacked into the surveillance cameras near the playground.
After a round of searching, he realized that there were many blind spots that couldn't be captured on the surveillance cameras.
He had no choice but to check the surveillance footage of the streets and alleys around the playground, but he still did not find anything.
However, while he searched for traces online, he found that many people had gone missing every year.
Most of these people were women. They were of all ages.
After they went missing, their family members posted requests for help online. They were willing to pay money to people who provide the clues, but the effect was negligible. It was basically like a rock sinking into the ocean.
Although the Public Security Team had been investigating, they barely made any progress.
As time passed, it became a case without any leads.
Su Jingxing consolidated these incidents and wanted to see if he could find any related clues.
And he did.
Among the missing women, the younger ones were the majority.
Like Gu Duoduo, there were many girls under the age of ten.
Su Jingxing gathered the information of these people and tried to find common points.
Especially points that were similar to Gu Duoduo's case!
After half an hour, Su Jingxing finally found one.
Birth time!
If he had not investigated deeper, Su Jingxing would never have thought that most of the people who went missing were born during a Yin hour of a Yin day or a Yin month of a Yin year!
Even Yu Miaotong!
Yu Miaotong who had been killed by Shi Yanfeng. Like Gu Duoduo, she had been born during an Yin hour of a Yin day of an Yin month of an Yin year .
Was it a coincidence?
No!
"There's a problem!
"There's definitely something wrong here!
"The Shi Family…"
Su Jingxing's eyes lit up. His hands moved quickly on the keyboard as he hacked into the systems and cyberspaces of companies related to the Shi family.
After searching for a while, he finally found some clues.
Someone was helping the Shi family, or perhaps someone from the Shi family was fiddling with the evidence online of these women with these birth times and dates who had gone missing.
If it weren't for the people doing this, Su Jingxing wouldn't have expected Gu Duoduo's disappearance to be related to the Shi Family!
"What is this family trying to do?"
Su Jingxing frowned.
Although he now knew that Gu Duoduo's disappearance was related to the Shi Family, there were no other clues or evidence on the Internet.
Report it to the Martial Suppression Office for Li Linzhou to go to the Shi Family to ask for the girl?
Putting aside whether Li Linzhou was willing to interfere or not, even if he was, he might not necessarily find her if he does go to the Shi Family.
The reason was simple. The Shi Family would never admit to such a thing.
If Li Linzhou were to go to Shi Family to ask for her, he instead would alert them and provoke the Shi Family into killing her. Then they would destroy the body to obliterate all traces and burn her to ashes.
What Su Jingxing wanted was not a pile of ashes, but a living Gu Duoduo.
Hence, he was the only one who knew about the findings he made online.
The disadvantages of the others knowing outweighed the benefits.
"A night visit to the Shi Family's residence?"
Su Jingxing pondered.
Thanks to Ke Wenji, Su Jingxing had managed to cultivate the Qi section of the Colossal Divine Dagger and the Colossal Divine Dagger to the Advanced level with the Martial Arts Practice Card with 16 years of practice time.
Right now, he was confident of sneaking into the Shi Family's compound without anyone noticing.
If he really were to be discovered, he was also confident of a successful escape.
So——
"To the Shi Family…"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of fighting suddenly came from the river.
Su Jingxing listened carefully and found that the voices were getting closer and closer to him.
He immediately switched off his computer, put on his cloak and mask, and walked out of the courtyard. He flew to a large tree by the river bank and hid in the dense foliage. He activated his Night Vision and Distant Vision abilities at the same time, looking at the approaching groups of people.
It was one against three.
The four of them all used swords. True energy was released as sword energy surged.
They fought their way along the embankment, causing massive damage.
From time to time, they would jump to the surface of the water and create a splash.
Su Jingxing watched from afar.
These four of them, one escaping and three chasing did not leak any aura even when they passed under the tree.
It wasn't until one of the three giving chase paid a heavy price to kill the fleeing martial artists on the spot did the other two shout out in excitement.
"Finally killed this Nie fellow!"
"Haha, Jia Youbai would never have thought that Nie Renchou, who escaped from him, would die in the hands of us three!"

Chapter 99: The Shi Family's Secret
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nie Renchou?
The person killed is actually Nie Renchou?!
Su Jingxing was really surprised.
Nie Renchou had disappeared for more than a week. He thought he had left Qinghe City, but he was still in the Western District.
Furthermore, it seemed that he was looking for people to challenge.
However, he was unlucky this time. He was besieged during the challenge and escaped. In the end, he didn't manage to do so and was killed on the southern bank of the Heavenly Water River.
Of course, Su Jingxing didn't care if Nie Renchou had died.
What caught his attention was that the treasure in Ouyang Qinhu's hand seemed to have fallen into Nie Renchou's hands.
Now that Nie Renchou was dead, would this treasure be on him?
At this thought, Su Jingxing used his lightness skill and flew over silently.
After moving close, he still hid in the dense foliage.
But three throwing daggers flew out from his palm!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The rushing sound of tearing through the air at top speed first shattered the street lamps under the night sky.
Then, they charged towards the three swordsmen who were still excited over their kill.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
With the sound of the street lamps shattering, the three middle ranks swordsmen dodged the throwing daggers.
"Who is it? Come out if you dare!"
Among the three swordsmen, a muscular man shouted in a low voice, "What kind of hero are you if all you do is stay in hiding?"
"Shut up!"
The other old man with a long beard had a change in expression. He glared at the muscular man and then put away his weapon. He cupped his fists and shouted into the air, "Friend, don't worry. We don't have any other wants. We were chasing after Nie Renchou because he wanted to kill my third brother. Now that Nie Renchou is dead, we have achieved our goal. We will leave now."
"No, Big Brother…"
"Shut up!"
The long-bearded old man glared at the burly man who wanted to speak and growled, "If you don't want to die, then shut your mouth!"
The burly man could not tell, but how could this long-bearded elder not know?
The person controlling the throwing daggers in the dark had no intention of killing them.
Otherwise, their heads would have been the first to be crushed in the sneak attack!
The long-bearded old man was not a martial artist of the lower ranks. Out of the three brothers, the old man was a fifth-grade martial artist, and the muscular man and the severely wounded man were sixth-grade martial artists.
He had seen more than ten types of throwing dagger skills.
However, he had never encountered a throwing dagger that appeared without emitting any energies or fluctuations of aura!
Those who had such abilities were either at a very high realm, such as the fourth-grade,
or that the martial art he cultivated was extremely advanced, that even the true energy that was externally released could be concealed.
Either way, he was not someone the three of them could handle.
Needless to say, the old man with the long beard and the muscular man had also exhausted themselves.
If it was an eighth or ninth-grade martial artist, they could still take care of him.
But was the person hiding in the dark ninth-grade or eighth-grade?
The long-bearded old man did not dare take the gamble!
Compared to the treasure that might not even be on Nie Renchou anymore, their lives were undoubtedly more important.
Therefore, the long-bearded elder decisively gave up on searching Nie Renchou's body.
After shouting at the air, he forcefully suppressed the muscular man who had always been stubborn. He carried the seriously injured man on his back and quickly left the scene.
"Quite sensible."
On the tree, Su Jingxing looked at the long-bearded old man and the two others who left without any mischief and nodded in satisfaction. His body swayed and he landed on the ground.
He first extracted a card before searching Nie Renchou's corpse.
He did not find anything valuable other than the weapons used by Nie Renchou.
A blood-red longsword.
Shaking his head in disappointment, Su Jingxing picked up the longsword and kept it in his palm space.
This sword was clearly a treasure weapon. Either taking it for his own use or selling it were both good options.
Better to have something than nothing.
As for Nie Renchou's corpse…
Hu~
Lifting his toes, Su Jingxing sent the corpse into the air and grabbed it.
Then, he carried the corpse and flew over the Sky Water River towards the crematorium.
From afar, he threw the corpse into the air and it landed at the gate. It made a strange sound and alerted the guards.
He had taken care of the body.
Su Jingxing turned around. Amidst the exclamations of the crematorium guards behind him, flew over the Sky Water River, returning to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Back in the house, he took out the card he had extracted, held it in his palm, and read the description.
Memory Card!
It was not the Skill Card or True Energy Card that he wanted the most, but a Memory Card.
Su Jingxing was somewhat disappointed.
But soon, he was stunned.
The Memory Card he extracted from Nie Renchou's corpse recorded the memories of his entire lifetime.
A Shi Family's sacrificial soldier
Many people were curious about Nie Renchou's identity and background. Su Jingxing had now learned about it through this Memory Card.
Not only did he know that Nie Renchou was a sacrificial soldier nurtured by the Shi Family from a young age, he also learned a lot of the Shi Family's secrets!
For example, the Three Yin Candles Blood that Su Jingxing was most interested in.
The Bloodline Card told him that people with the Three Yin Candles Blood would not live past 49 years old, but the Shi Family members were not affected.
This question was now solved.
It turned out that the Shi Family had long discovered the flaw of the Three Yin Candles Blood. In order to live longer, the Shi Family's ancestors had researched and found a method.
Absorb the blood from the hearts of virgin women born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year!
Shi Yanfeng wanted Yu Miaotong's heart because he wanted her blood.
At that time, Su Jingxing did not notice that the unique blade Shi Yanfeng had used was actually a blood extractor.
If Su Jingxing had taken the blade away, he would have found a jet of blood in it afterwards.
The blood was blood from Yu Miaotong's heart!
If one consumes the blood of a virgin woman born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year every three years, the flaw of a short life that came with the Three Yin Candles Blood would no longer be a problem.
All these years, not only did the Shi Family abduct young women and underage children in Qinghe City, they also gathered them in other cities and even other countries.
This was because the blood had to be extracted while the women were still alive. After that, it had to be drunk and refined within half an hour.
Hence, people like Gu Duoduo were abducted and imprisoned.
The people doing such work outside were sacrificial soldiers like Nie Renchou!
The Shi Family had nurtured over a hundred of them.
Most of them were of the lower ranks. Only nine were in the middle ranks.
Nie Ren Chou was one of them, he was an outstanding talent among them.
In order to seize the treasure in Ouyang Qinhu's hands—— a pearl that could purify true energy and bloodline, the Shi Family had sent him out.
First, he led people to destroy a branch of the Black Tiger Gang, but they failed to find the pearl.
Therefore, Nie Renchou pretended to be a sword fanatic and killed Ouyang Qinhu. While taking the pearl, he also absorbed Ouyang Qinhu's blood and essence.
Removing the flaw of the Three Yin Candles Blood relied on the blood from the heart of virgin women born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year.
On the other hand, the ability to enhance the Three Yin Candles Blood was a Blood Elemental Marrow that was mainly refined from the blood and essence of a martial artist in the middle ranks.
Even though the Three Yin Candles Blood (origin blood) that the Shi Family had collected after the deaths of their members could also increase the power of their bloodline, it would not be permanent.
Therefore, Nie Renchou killed Ouyang Qinhu, Shan Jiantong, and Ma Zhengyang.
The blood-red sword in his hand could absorb the target's blood and essence as he killed them.
As for killing Shi Jindong, that was because he had betrayed the Shi Family and joined the Li Family.
After absorbing these blood and essence, the Shi Family brought to the underground space below Cloud Sea Square and used it as the main ingredient to refine the Blood Elemental Marrow.
That's right.
The real mastermind of the bloody crime at the Cloud Sea Square wasn't Ke Wenji or Shi Yanyi, but the Shi Family's higher-ups led by Shi Jinnian!

Chapter 100: The Blade Flashed, A Head Fell
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The case was solved.
If not for the fact that the Memory Card would not lie, Su Jingxing would never know or even imagine that the Shi Family was behind all this!
This family was really arrogant and unbridled.
They extract blood from the heart of a virgin born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year.
God knew how many people they had killed over the years.
This time, it was even crazier. To refine a large amount of Blood Elemental Marrows, they set up an array formation under Cloud Sea Square in advance, calculated the time, and created a Corpse Puppet. Then, they took advantage of the festival to cause thousands of casualties.
The fresh blood that flowed out had entered the array formation through a secret passage, giving birth to lots of Blood Essence Marrows!
All that about Ke Wenji being abandoned by Shi Yanyi, the video she filmed before committed s*icide, and their helplessness post incident were all planned by the Shi Family.
On the other hand, Nie Renchou had come out at night not on orders from the Shi Family to continue challenging and killing people, but because the long-bearded old man and company had found his hiding place.
He was chased all the way to the southern bank of the Sky Water River and died there.
…
After going through all the memories, Su Jingxing let out a long sigh.
Lunatics, all of them are lunatics!
Even though he knew that the rise of these martial arts families would inevitably result in death and bloodshed, people like the Shi family, who extract blood from the hearts of living people once every three years, created Corpse Puppets and caused thousands of deaths, were still beyond Su Jingxing's imagination.
Such a family should disappear. They should not exist in this world.
Expose them to the Martial Suppression Office?
Useless!
The Shi Family had never left behind any traces of the women born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year.
Without direct evidence, nothing could be done to the Shi Family, nor would anyone believe these accusations.
It was the same for the array formation beneath Cloud Sea Square.
By now, all traces would have been removed. None of the fresh blood would be left behind.
Even if Su Jingxing were to report it to the Martial Suppression Office, Li Linzhou wouldn't be able to find any clues even if he went there.
As for Nie Renchou's real motive for killing people over the past few days, not many people would believe it either.
This was because there was no evidence to prove that Nie Renchou was a sacrificial soldier of the Shi Family.
Su Jingxing pondered on it at length. There was only one thing he could do.
Rescue Gu Duoduo!
The Shi Family had three secret bases.
It just so happened that Nie Renchou had been to the secret base where the women born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year were captured and locked in.
Through Nie Renchou's memories, Su Jingxing had learned of the exact location of the base, the defense set up there, and the experts guarding it.
It had only been two days since Gu Duoduo was taken away. There was a high chance that she was still alive.
If Su Jingxing were to go over now, he could definitely bring the little girl back.
If possible, it would be even better if he could destroy this base and save the other captives.
Of course.
He could engage Li Linzhou in this.
The problem was that Su Jingxing did not know where Li Linzhou lived or how to contact him. How could he find him?
As for telling the rest of the Martial Suppression Office, he decided against it.
There were quite a few people from the Shi Family in the Martial Suppression Division.
…
After making his decision, Su Jingxing moved quickly.
He first disguised himself as Yang Jian before putting on his cloak and mask.
After he finished dressing up, he walked out to the courtyard and executed the Eight Steps Rising Dragon to soar into the sky. He flew towards the direction of Turtleback Mountain at an extremely fast speed.
The secret base where Gu Duoduo and others were imprisoned was in Turtleback Mountain.
Turtleback Mountain was a large mountain at the southeast edge of the Green Cloud Mountain Range. It was named as such because it resembled a turtle shell.
Su Jingxing's small courtyard at the foot of the mountain was about thirty kilometers away from Turtleback Mountain.
Driving his true energy, Su Jingxing was like a flying dragon and he arrived at his destination in five minutes.
Su Jingxing gently descended from above. The moment he landed on the ground, he circulated the Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique, restraining his aura and vitality, before quietly approaching the entrance of the secret base.
Outside the entrance was an ordinary mountain wall. It was covered with vines and the ground was all gravel.
Su Jingxing hid in the dark and used his oral mimicry techniques to create the howling of wild wolves. The constant snarls at the entrance left the guards at the entrance annoyed. They opened the mountain wall and walked out with their guns out to chase them away.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Jingxing flashed past the entrance like a ghost. He was very quick and hid himself in a blind spot.
Then, he waited for the guards to return and close the entrance before returning. He sneaked into the guardhouse and released his throwing daggers, silently killing the guards inside.
There was no sound produced throughout the whole process. Instead, Su Jingxing extracted four cards.
After taking care of the entrance, Su Jingxing left the guardroom and locked the door from outside.
Then, he boosted his speed to the fastest. Pressing himself against the walls and corners, he rushed into the corridors filled with cameras and headed straight for the control center.
As long as he was fast enough, they wouldn't be able to see him under video surveillance unless they looked closely.
With his full strength, Su Jingxing didn't reveal his afterimage.
In one breath, he rushed to the entrance of the control center and quickly entered.
What he saw had him laughing for some time.
The guards on duty in the control center were all sleeping soundly.
It made sense. It was almost three in the morning and nothing had ever happened at the secret base. It was normal for these guards to relax.
While feeling amused, Su Jingxing left them all in their dreams and extracted three cards.
After that, he turned off the alarm and cut off all the surveillance cameras before leaving and locking the door from outside.
1
The next step was to head to the guard lounge.
As before, he quietly unlocked the door and entered the room. He left all the guards sleeping in their dream and extracted a dozen more cards.
Su Jingxing nodded in satisfaction and continued on his way to the higher-ups of the Shi Family who were stationed in the secret base.
The first would be Shi Jinchuan, a sixth-grade martial artist.
Tap, tap!
Standing at the side, he knocked on Shi Jinchuan's alloy door.
"What is it?"
A low voice came from inside the room.
Su Jingxing ignored him and continued knocking.
Tap, tap!
Footsteps sounded. Su Jingxing took out his treasure saber and got ready.
With a creak, the alloy door opened. Shi Jinchuan, who was dressed in a training suit, stuck his head out with an overcast expression and scolded, "Didn't I say not to…"
Swoosh!
Plkch!
The blade flashed, and a head fell.
Shi Jinchuan did not have time to react and he had gone to see his ancestors.
Su Jingxing extracted a card, put his saber away, and sent Shi Jinchuan's body and head back into the room. He then took out a curtain from inside and wiped the blood on the floor.
However, as he wiped, Su Jingxing slowly stopped moving.
He slowly stood up and stared at the corner of the corridor in front of him. A black-haired old man had appeared.
Shi Zhibang!
At just a single glance, Su Jingxing recognized him.
Part of the older generation of the Shi Family, this fifth-grade martial artist, Shi Zhibang, was the leader of this secret base.
At this moment, the old fellow's face was livid as he stared fixedly at Su Jingxing, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"How bold, you actually dare to come here!"
A slightly hoarse voice sounded in the air.
Shi Zhibang suddenly launched an attack, his figure rapidly shifting. In less than a breath's time, he covered the distance of over 70 meters and arrived in front of Su Jingxing.
"Hundred Steps Reigning Fist!"
Su Jingxing circulated 30 years of his true energy cultivation multiplied by five times. Then, he punched out!

Chapter 101: Battling a Fourth-grade Martial Artist
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Boom!
The air exploded.
The silver-black translucent fist carrying 150,000 catties of strength collided with Shi Zhibang's Split Eagle Claw imprint.
Bam!
The two forces clashed head-on, producing a dull sound that echoed in the corridor.
Shi Zhibang, who was filled with killing intent, felt his right hand go numb and lost all feeling thereafter. Then, intense pain spread from his arm and entered his brain, making his face twitch and his body tremble.
At the same time, he heard the cracking sounds of bones breaking.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
Shi Zhibang who couldn't stop himself from repeatedly stepping back saw a bloody mist wrapping around his upper body when he sobered up in shock.
The bloody mist came from his right arm.
At this moment, his right arm was completely fractured. His bones were broken. His entire arm was like a lump of dough that had just been fermented, and it rested limply on his shoulder.
"You…"
Swoosh!
The saber beam appeared out of thin air.
With lightning speed, Su Jingxing took out his treasured weapon and hacked swiftly at the terrified Shi Zhibang.
40 years of true energy cultivation!
Human Origin of the Three Origins Saber Art——
"Upwind Single Slash!"
"Sweeping River Army Slash!"
"Ascending Dragon Overlord Slash!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The blade glint tore through the air along with the rush of wind.
Similarly, the silvery-black blade energy came one after another, overlapping as they bombarded Shi Zhibang's body.
First, they shattered Shi Zhibang's protective true energy, then tore apart Shi Zhibang's special protective clothing, a semi-treasure training suit.
In the end, Shi Zhibang's head and upper body were split into two, blood splattered everywhere.
Fast and powerful.
Shi Zhibang, who was in the fifth-grade, did not even have time to use his trump card before he was sent to meet his ancestors!
The corridor was silent.
Su Jingxing, who had sheathed his saber, extracted a card. He stood still and listened carefully for a moment. After making sure that no one was coming towards him, he relaxed a little.
"I think I was too heavy-handed."
Su Jingxing looked down at the two halves of Shi Zhibang's body and muttered to himself.
His internal organs were scattered all over the ground and blood had splattered everywhere.
It would be a waste of time to clean up.
After thinking for a while, Su Jingxing gave up on cleaning and went to the next residence of the next target.
As long as he was fast enough, he did not fear the corpse being discovered.
So…
Swoosh!
The blade flashed, the head of another Shi Family higher-up was chopped off before he could react.
Su Jingxing extracted a card, turned around, and went straight to the next person.
There were clear locations in his mind and he did not waste a second on moving around.
The next target were the sacrificial soldiers who were nurtured from young like Nie Renchou.
Su Jingxing maintained Advanced Hearing's ability of picking up everything within a hundred meter radius. He locked onto a sacrificial soldier who heard the knock on the door and was stepping out vigilantly as he hid himself on the ceiling.
The sacrificial soldier stuck his head out of the door and looked around, he did not see anyone. Suddenly, in the split second he became alert——
Swoosh!
Saber light suddenly appeared.
Su Jingxing held the treasure saber in his hand and dropped from above the sacrificial saber. The saber slid past the man's face and sliced off half of it.
This was the result of the sacrificial soldier dodging after being alerted. He did not manage to avoid it completely.
Before he could scream, Su Jingxing, who was still in midair, swung his saber diagonally and slashed at his neck.
Plkch!
A spurt of blood shot out, hitting the door and the walls on both sides.
The head that was missing half its face detached from its body and fell to the ground with two dull thuds.
After extracting a card, Su Jingxing did not stop and rushed to another room ten meters away.
The person living in this neighboring room beside him was also a sacrificial soldier of the Shi Family. He was in the sixth-grade.
Very alert.
Su Jingxing had just gotten rid of his target when he rushed out of the room quickly and vigilantly.
The moment he opened the door—
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Su Jingxing, who had flown over, slashed three times in quick succession. The opponent only let out a furious roar before his entire body was split into two.
But it was also because of this roar that the people living in the rooms in this entire corridor were alarmed.
Instantly, within Su Jingxing's hearing range, a series of messy footsteps sounded.
Accompanied by calls and shouts, guards and sacrificial soldiers rushed out of the rooms.
What awaited them…
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The sound of rapid echoed.
Su Jingxing released three treasure throwing daggers that were wrapped in true energy. They quickly tore through the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One after another, the guards had their heads penetrated and shattered on the spot.
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
One after another, the hearts or necks of the sacrificial soldiers were sliced past or penetrated by throwing daggers.
Hu hu hu!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Blood blossomed, corpses shook.
Su Jingxing controlled the three throwing daggers from a distance. They flew at high speed, weaving through the crowd.
Accompanied by numerous shrieks, blood sprayed out.
None of the guards and sacrificial soldiers could escape the dance of the throwing daggers.
By the time the last sacrificial soldier collapsed, the corridor was already flooded in blood.
Su Jingxing, who had retracted his throwing daggers, caught his breath as he walked among the corpses and extracted cards.
Extraction for all corpses was completed.
Su Jingxing also stopped panting. He stood in the pile of corpses and looked at an old man with fiery red hair who had suddenly appeared dozens of meters away.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The old man clapped his hands and looked at Su Jingxing up and down with interest. He grinned and said, "Good, good, very good! Your throwing daggers skills are impressive! If I'm not wrong, it should be the heavy dagger series, right?"
The heavy dagger, as its name suggested, was a dagger technique that dominated with weight and strength.
Given the features of Colossal Divine Dagger could indeed be categorized as part of the heavy dagger series.
Su Jingxing also recognized the old man.
Tang Wulin!
A Guardian of the Shi Family, the strongest existence in this secret base, a fourth-grade expert!
Su Jingxing had secretly killed the others in order to save Tang Wulin for last.
Even though there were still quite a few people that hadn't been taken care of yet, there weren't many left.
It wouldn't be too late to finish off Tang Wulin first!
Facing a fourth-grade cultivator, Su Jingxing focused all of his attention and circulated the Heaven Trampling True Energy entirely in his dantian.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The three treasure throwing daggers flew out again.
"Haha, does this mean that you do not wish to have a chat with me?"
Tang Wulin laughed out loud.
Amidst his laughter, two crescent curved blades flew out from the back of his head to meet the throwing daggers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The two handleless curved blades and the three throwing daggers collided violently in the corridor.
The sparks that shot out were dazzling.
The blade energy they released sliced through the ground and walls, leaving behind inches of marks.
The corpses on the ground became even more broken and bits splattered everywhere.
The two of them were exchanging blows using hidden weapons in the air.
Tang Wulin stood with a smile on his face, and Su Jingxing didn't move at all.
While he operated the true energy, he took out the two True Energy Cards with seven and eight years of cultivation that he had stored away. He unlocked them close to his palm to replenish his dantian.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Su Jingxing split his attention to circulate the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven to convert the attributeless true energy into Heaven Trampling True Energy.
In less than half a minute, Su Jingxing had successfully recovered to his peak state!

Chapter 102: Full Force
Hmm?
Opposite him, Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes. He had sensed that something was off with Su Jingxing.
Two handleless curved blades against three flying daggers.
In a situation where the mastery of hidden weapons were similar, the person controlling the throwing daggers would undoubtedly consume more energy.
However, the true energy fluctuations coming from Su Jingxing's body did not decrease. Instead, they were becoming stronger. What was going on?
"Interesting."
Tang Wulin chuckled and controlled the handleless curved blades to continue fighting while walking towards Su Jing.
"Old thing, you can't hold back anymore?"
Su Jingxing also sneered and walked to meet him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The range of collision between the two curved blades and the three treasure throwing daggers became smaller and smaller as the two of them got closer.
Until…
Boom!
When he was only two meters away from Su Jingxing, Tang Wulin suddenly struck out with his palm. A fiery red palm print tore through the air like a ferocious tiger, roaring as it pounced towards Su Jingxing.
"Hundred Steps Reigning Fist!"
Su Jingxing mobilized his true energy cultivation of 60 years and punched out.
The silvery-black translucent fist carried a weight of 400,000 catties as it fiercely collided with the fiery red palm.
Boom!
There was a deafening bang.
Terrifying energy burst forth with a shockwave, causing the air to become extremely chaotic.
Apart from destroying the two handleless curved blades and the three treasure throwing daggers, it stirred up a raging wave in the corridor.
Everywhere it passed, the ground and walls were pressured by a heavy force, causing cracks to appear.
The corpses on the ground also became more and more broken, none of them were complete.
At the center of the energy, neither Su Jingxing nor Tang Wulin took a step back.
However, compared to the composed Su Jingxing, Tang Wulin's expression was a little ugly.
We are equally matched!
They were equally matched in terms of mastery of hidden weapons and martial arts.
In terms of true energy cultivation, they were also equally matched!
However, in terms of true energy reserves, Tang Wulin lost.
Each of them knew themselves.
Tang Wulin could clearly sense that the true energy fluctuations on Su Jingxing's body had not weakened at all. He was still in his peak state.
In contrast, he had already used up a third of his true energy.
"I can't go on like this!"
A cold glint flashed across Tang Wulin's eyes. His expression was no longer as confident and carefree as before.
He no longer dared to underestimate Su Jingxing.
I have to end this quickly!
Since he had expended too much energy, he would end the battle as quickly as possible!
Bang! Bang!
Tang Wulin gave up on his curved blades and went all out. His body shifted and changed his position at lightning speed to attack Su Jingxing.
"A battle of speed?"
Su Jingxing chuckled and also gave up on his throwing daggers. He activated the Eight Steps Rising Dragon at full force.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sound of rushing wind instantly filled the corridor.
Tang Wulin executed his evasive maneuvers to the extreme that he could not even see his after-images.
Su Jingxing was also agile and graceful, his figure similarly invisible.
Compared to the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist, he had a better mastery of the Eight Steps Rising Dragon.
He had reached the Peak of Perfection!
Had Tang Wulin's lightness skill reached this level?
No!
So——
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom!
Accompanied by the intense collision of true energy, the Flame True Energy and Heaven Trampling True Energy were continuously neutralized. Tang Wulin and Su Jingxing, one in the front and one behind, passed through three corridors at lightning speed and arrived in a hall.
Tang Wulin, who was wrapped in Flame True Energy, was abruptly struck by an attack. His figure appeared and he was sent flying backward, crashing into the metal wall. Blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Ah!"
Blood splattered all over Tang Wulin's face and upper body.
With another heavy thud, his entire body smashed into the metal wall, creating a dent.
Tang Wulin spat out another mouthful of blood all over the ground as he fell to his knees.
Swoosh!
Take his life while he's down.
Su Jingxing circulated 30 years of cultivation of Heaven Trampling True Energy and channeled it into his treasure weapon and slashed at Tang Wulin.
"Ah!"
Tang Wulin, who was half-kneeling, sensed danger and suddenly raised his head to let out a roar.
The solidified sound waves twisted and spun in the air, forming a spiral shock wave that crashed into the silvery-black blade energy.
The two collided——
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed through the hall.
Wherever the shockwave passed, everything in the hall was shattered into pieces.
The silvery-black blade energy lasted for less than two seconds before it was turned into internal force and destroyed the ground and walls.
And because the range was too large, the longer it stretched, the more areas it covered.
By the time Su Jingxing sensed it and swung his blade again, he was already a step too late.
His entire body was sent flying backward by the terrifying shockwave. With a series of loud bangs, he crashed through three brick walls. His protective true energy vanished. His cloak, clothes, and mask were torn apart before he finally landed into the ruins.
Secret ability!
Tang Wulin had mastered such a terrifying sound secret ability.
The lethality of this high-frequency sound wave was truly frightening.
If an ordinary person were to encounter it, they would be torn into pieces on the spot and reduced to lumps of flesh.
The martial artists in the lower ranks similarly would not be able to take and would die from the shock.
Those in the middle ranks would rely on their protective true energy to barely hold on. Those who were lucky could survive.
For example, if Su Jingxing's physical body wasn't at the limits of the human body, he wouldn't have died from the impact, but he wouldn't have been able to move either.
Even so, the blood and Qi in his entire body was extremely restless at this moment. His limbs were numb while his heart was pounding madly, and it was on the verge of popping out from his throat.
Amazing!
Compared to his true energy cultivation and martial arts attainments, this secret ability of Tang Wulin was his trump card.
Su Jingxing took out a bunch of Strength Pills and stuffed them into his mouth, quickly recovering his strength and suppressing his blood and Qi. Su Jingxing stood up from the ruins and wiped his face, only to discover that half of his human skin mask had been destroyed.
Fortunately, Su Jingxing had cut off all the surveillance cameras previously. He glanced at the camera in the corner and sneered coldly.
He was no longer wearing a top. His upper body was bare and he was wearing a pair of custom-made elastic pants at the bottom.
Su Jingxing had specially bought these elastic pants for the sake of transforming into the Demonic Elephant Physique. He had put five of them in his palm space.
Correspondingly, there were also a dozen cloaks, clothes, and masks.
Tang Wulin's voice secret ability was so powerful that Su Jingxing decided not to wear them for the time being.
He walked towards the hall step by step and picked up his fallen treasure saber halfway.
"You… How is this possible!"
In the hall, Tang Wulin's face was as pale as a sheet of white paper. He was obviously in a weak state. He watched Su Jingxing walk towards him in disbelief.
He knew his trump card best.
The earlier strike had sapped most of his true energy and stamina.
In the instant it burst out, even if Su Jingxing didn't die, he should be severely injured and rendered immobile.
But now, he could still walk. What did he rely on?
His physical body?
Yes, a powerful physical body could withstand a portion of the impact.
Tang Wulin would never have thought that other than being a fourth-grade expert who had outstanding true energy cultivation, martial arts attainments and lightness skills, he was also a body-tempering martial artist with a powerful physical body!

Chapter 103: Successful Rescue
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Over there, quick, quick! Everyone, follow!"
Messy footsteps sounded.
While Tang Wulin was still in shock, the remaining people in the base came dashing over from the four corridors at the front, back and sides of the hall.
Leading them was a middle-aged man.
Su Jingxing, whose blood and Qi had been completely suppressed and his limbs more or less recovered, glanced at him from afar and recognized him.
Shi Jinzhou, Shi Yanfeng's father, a sixth-grade martial artist.
As for the others, they were basically guards with assault rifles in their hands.
Swoosh!
Ignoring Shi Jinzhou and company, Su Jingxing raised his saber and charged towards Tang Wulin.
Compared to Shi Jinzhou, Tang Wulin was the biggest threat.
"Damn it!"
Tang Wulin's pupils contracted, and his body tensed up. He hurriedly rolled about on the ground, and then he scrambled to his feet in a sorry state, fleeing towards the left passage where Shi Jinzhou's group had come from.
Having run out of true energy with his stamina soon to follow, he didn't dare to fight Su Jingxing head-on.
He wanted to escape, but Su Jingxing wouldn't allow that.
Human Origin——
Upwind Single Slash!
Sweeping River Army Slash!
Ascending Dragon Overlord Slash!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Saber winds howled and blade energy tore through the air.
The silvery-black blade energy came wave after wave, stacking upon the previous. Every strike hit the fleeing Tang Wulin.
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
Blood spurted out from Tang Wulin's body. First, his arms were separated from his body, then his legs were severed, and then his body was split into five pieces. Finally, his head was thrown into the air.
Just like that, as he ran, his entire body was slowly dismembered. His head flew out, smashing towards Shi Jinzhou who was running towards him.
Dong!
A dull thud echoed through the tunnel.
Shi Jinzhou took a few steps back and waved his hand to stop the people behind him. He looked at Tang Wulin's corpse on the ground in shock and then lifted his head to look at Su Jingxing, who was at the end of the corridor. His legs could not stop trembling.
"Fire… fire! Everyone, fire!" Shi Jinzhou roared with a trembling voice.
Da! Da! Da!
Bang bang bang!
Su Jingxing was surrounded by bullets. Sparks flew everywhere.
However, Shi Jinzhou was expecting too much, hoping to deal with him using guns.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Stepping on the Eight Steps Rising Dragon, Su Jingxing held his treasure saber in his hand as he flashed left and right. As he dodged nimbly, he covered a distance of tens of meters in the blink of an eye. Together with his saber, he charged into Shi Jinzhou's group.
Immediately——
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
The blade was snarling, the blade energy was roaring.
Accompanied by a series of miserable cries, the team led by Shi Jinzhou was dead within ten seconds. Broken limbs were strewn all over the ground.
Among them, the sixth-grade Shi Jinzhou held out the longest, five seconds.
Su Jingxing had relied solely on his physical strength to deal with Shi Jinzhou. Coupled with the Three Origins Saber Art Human Origin volume, he had forcefully cut through Shi Jinzhou's protective true energy before splitting him in half.
He was done here——
Swoosh!
Su Jingxing, who had extracted many cards, quickly turned around and returned to the hall, rushing towards the other firing teams.
The blade was still snarling and the blade energy was still roaring.
Su Jingxing stepped on Eight Steps Rising Dragon. As he dodged nimbly and gracefully, he killed everyone with his blade.
One card after another was extracted!
With the death of these men that Shi Jinzhou had come with, all the guards in the base were finally taken care of.
Under the barrage of bullets, Su Jingxing, who had been shot a few times, did not even have a scratch on his skin. Only a few white spots were left behind, but there were quite a lot of blood stains on him.
He took out a piece of clothing from his palm space and wiped himself. At the same time, he took off the remaining half of his human skin mask and threw it away.
After that, Su Jingxing put on his clothes, cloak, and mask.
Then, he headed straight for the cells.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
As soon as they entered the cell, high-pitched screams could be heard from all directions.
The girls that the Shi Family had captured from all over the world were all in cages, screaming non-stop. They were huddled in the corners in fear, not daring to look out of the cages.
Su Jingxing didn't release them immediately either. He walked past the cages one by one, his eyes searching for Gu Duoduo's figure.
After walking past ten cages, he finally spotted the little girl.
The five-year-old was currently in the arms of a young girl, curled up in a corner and both of them were trembling non-stop.
"It's good that she's alive!"
Su Jingxing thought to himself and let out a sigh of relief. However, he didn't release them immediately. Instead, he returned outside.
First, he went to pick up his three throwing daggers Then, he went to the warehouse and collected a few buckets of Corpse Dissolving Liquid.
Carrying the Corpse Dissolving Liquid, he walked around the base and poured it onto the corpses of the people he had killed, turning them into pools of liquid.
A strong pungent smell filled the base.
Su Jingxing turned on the ventilators as he walked. Finally, he returned to the cell and opened the cages.
"Everyone, come out!"
There were no soft and gentle words. Su Jingxing lowered his voice and shouted at the people hiding in the cages, "If you won't come out, you'll die immediately!"
"Ah!" "Ah!"
The screams continued.
Without needing Su Jingxing to urge them again, everyone quickly came out of the metal cages and consciously lined up in a line. They had their heads lowered and kept trembling.
Su Jingxing didn't comfort them. He drove them out of the cell, through the corridors, and out of the base.
During the entire process, screams could be heard from over a hundred people, young and old.
But slowly, the screams lessened, and the cries of surprise continued.
Although they couldn't completely believe it, it was obvious that they were leaving the base safely.
They realized that they might have been rescued!
Some even asked Su Jingxing boldly.
Su Jingxing ignored them and only roughly ordered them to walk in the quiet morning forest.
Every single base of the Shi Family had people delivering supplies, equipment, and detailed intelligence every day.
If he did not bring them away quickly, they would definitely encounter those men of the Shi Family who were of different strengths.
Those in the lower ranks were fine, but if they were in the middle ranks, Su Jingxing wouldn't be able to spare the attention to take care of Gu Duoduo and the others.
This was also the reason why he did not speak a single gentle word from beginning to end.
Time was of the essence!
…
There was a small Farm Town just two mountains away from Turtleback Mountain.
Su Jingxing's final mission was to escort this group of more than a hundred people to the borders of the town.
On the mountain roads, a group of women who were frightened day and night and severely exhausted. One could imagine the speed at which they were advancing.
In order to save time, Su Jingxing had no choice but to forcefully feed everyone an Essence Energy Pill each.
After eating, they finally sped up significantly. Supporting one another, the older ones carrying the young ones, the group of people staggered over two mountains and entered the outermost fields of the Farm Town.
Here.
Su Jingxing stopped and told everyone to continue moving forward. He then executed Eight Steps Rising Dragon and soared into the sky. In the air, he destroyed an unoccupied house with one punch, causing a commotion and attracting the farm's attention.
Then, he rode the wind, leaving behind a dragon-shaped trail amidst everyone's cries and thanks, disappearing into the horizon.
…
Back at his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Su Jingxing took out all the cards he had extracted
"Let me see what I've gained this time!"

Chapter 104: Gains
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The people guarding the secret base were all martial artists.
In other words, the weakest person was in the ninth-grade.
This was a good thing for Su Jingxing, who had destroyed the base.
Previously, Su Jingxing had extracted several hundred cards from the tragic incident at Cloud Sea Square. When unlocked he got either the Strength Pills or the Essence Energy Pills.
Currently, what he didn't lack the most were Essence Energy Pills and Strength Pills.
He had accumulated more than two thousand of the latter, allowing Su Jingxing to transform into the Demonic Elephant Physique twice.
Therefore, what Su Jingxing lacked was a True Energy Card, or at least an Internal Force Card.
The people guarding the base were all martial artists. The chances of extracting these two cards were undoubtedly at the highest.
And that was indeed the case.
Su Jingxing checked all the cards. It was a pretty good harvest.
Needless to say, the four Bloodline Cards came from Shi Jinchuan, Shi Jinzhou and the others.
Unlocking them would give a special bloodline, the Three Yin Candle Blood.
There were three True Energy Cards, with six years of cultivation, ten years of cultivation, and seven years of cultivation respectively.
Out of the three Skill Cards, two of them were blade techniques that the Shi family had given them to the guards to practice, but only half of the content was available. Su Jingxing put them aside.
The key was the third Skill Card, a secret ability!
That's right, this Skill Card came from the fourth-grade Guardian, Tang Wulin.
The old fellow's high-frequency sound wave attack was quite terrifying. If Su Jingxing's physical body wasn't at the limits of the human body, the outcome of this operation might have been severely discounted.
It would be a lie to say that Su Jingxing was not covetous of this secret ability.
However, it was unrealistic to learn it secretly.
But now, the cheat ability had actually extracted this secret ability. Su Jingxing was overjoyed.
The cultivation of the remaining Internal Force Cards added up to more than 210 years.
Transformed it into true energy, it would be two years.
Not bad.
Of course, Su Jingxing didn't unlock them immediately and be in a hurry to do the conversion.
Instead, he first circulated the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven to recover the true energy he had expended on the journey.
When he fought against Tang Wulin previously, Su Jingxing had used two True Energy Cards, which had eight years of cultivation and seven years of cultivation respectively.
Under normal circumstances, these two True Energy Cards could allow Su Jingxing to increase his cultivation by 15 years after he unlocks, absorbs and transforms them into Heaven Trampling True Energy.
However, in order to replenish his depleted true energy then, his cultivation only increased by ten years after the absorption.
This meant that five years of cultivation was wasted due to the replenishment!
At that point, he was in a hurry to replenish his energy. He had no choice but to do so now. Naturally, Su Jingxing was not willing to waste any more now.
It took him more than an hour to recover his true energy.
At this time, if his mastery of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven technique had reached the seventh or eighth level, this duration would be even shorter.
After his true energy was restored, Su Jingxing unlocked the Internal Force Cards one by one and accumulated a hundred years' worth of cultivation before transforming them into a year of Heaven Trampling True Energy cultivation.
He kept the remaining cards. 200 years of internal force cultivation had become two years of Heaven Trampling True Energy cultivation.
In other words, Su Jingxing's true energy cultivation had reached 72 years.
He kept three True Energy Cards as spares.
The four Bloodline Cards containing the Three Yin Candles Blood were naturally unlocked. He obtained four blood pearls and fed them to Thunderbolt.
With every blood pearl given, the patterns on the surface of Thunderbolt would brighten further.
"I wonder how much this fellow needs to be fed before it can fully recover…"
Su Jingxing fiddled with Thunderbolt and murmured.
The power of a spirit weapon was recognized since ancient times.
For example, Su Jingxing would not have been in such a sorry state if he had the aid of Thunderbolt during this destruction of the Shi Family's secret base.
Unfortunately, it was unknown how long it would take before the Thunderbolt would completely recover.
Perhaps even if all the members of the Shi Family were wiped out, and the Three Yin Candles Blood obtained from unlocking the Bloodline Cards extracted were fed to Thunderbolt, it still might not recover completely.
It couldn't be helped. Thunderbolt had been dormant for too long.
Before it was dug out by Zhang Shanfu's grandfather from the fish belly, no one knew how long it had been wandering.
A hundred years? A thousand years?
Su Jingxing didn't know.
All he could do was keep feeding it.
A deranged martial arts family like the Shi Family deserved to die.
Using their blood to feed Thunderbolt was making good use of waste materials.
Of course.
Dealing with the Shi Family, could only be done in secret.
Su Jingxing was a lone wolf to begin with. If he were to continue acting recklessly, he, a sixth-grade martial artist with the combat ability of fourth-grade, would most likely be killed by the Shi Family midway.
It couldn't be helped. The Shi Family's foundation and background was too deep and powerful. Tang Wulin was definitely not the only fourth-grade martial artist.
In every realm, there was a difference in strength.
Both were fourth-grade martial artists, but could Tang Wulin compare to Li Linzhou?
No!
If no one in the Shi Family was stronger than Tang Wulin, would Tang Wulin obediently help them guard this base outside the city?
That didn't make sense!
Tang Wulin was no fool.
Therefore, the Shi Family certainly had more than one fourth-grade martial artists, and the others were even stronger.
He still had to take his time dealing with the Shi Family.
For example, creating a wave of public opinion attack!
There was a ready-made case. Girls born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year!
Of course, before taking action, he had to confirm if Gu Duoduo and the rest had gone home.
Before they did, he couldn't take action for the time being, in case the Shi Family turned desperate and wanted to intercept them on their way back to the city.
…
The wait was not long.
The next afternoon, Su Jingxing, who was moving corpses in the crematorium, suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"What has happened this time?" Kong Dabao smacked his lips.
"It seems to be a good thing." Su Jingxing listened for a while and replied, "Big Brother Dabao, shall we go out and take a look after we're done moving this corpse?"
"No rush."
Kong Dabao put down the cart and said in all seriousness, "We can move corpses any time, but we cannot slack on the safety of the crematorium for even a moment. As a part of the crematorium, what we need to do is to eliminate any threats at the first moment!"
Kong Dabao winked. "Am I right, Little Su?"
"Yes, Big Brother Dabao is very right." Su Jingxing cooperated.
"Then what are we waiting for!"
With a wave of his hand, Kong Dabao hurried outside.
Su Jingxing held back his laughter and followed behind.
As an official employee, there was nothing wrong with slacking off during work hours.
Even though Su Jingxing already knew what happened.
Cough! Cough!
That's right, the noise was brought by Gu Bo. Gu Duoduo had returned!
The crematorium staff had helped him previously. Gu Bo was very grateful for everyone's kind intentions even though they didn't do much.
Hence, he specially invited everyone to a hotel for dinner while he would have the share of those on duty packed and delivered to the dormitory.
Everyone was very happy that Gu Duoduo was back, but refused the dinner.
Su Jingxing refused as well and tried to get information about the rest of the girls from him.
He learned that most of the girls had been sent back to their respective cities, and those whose homes were further away were temporarily staying at the headquarters of Qinghe City's Martial Suppression Office.
Su Jingxing heaved a sigh of relief.
With this matter settled, they could launch an attack using public opinion on the Shi Family tonight!
Su Jingxing didn't have concrete evidence, but he had seen too many such instances of directing discussions on Earth.
Not to mention, there were people like Gu Duoduo and the others who had real encounters.
Su Jingxing had only posted two articles with striking headlines before he hacked into all the local forums, social spaces, and communication systems in Qinghe City. With just a little guidance, the entire city was in an uproar!

Chapter 105: The Shi Family or The Zhou Family?
"Are you serious? Do such bloodline martial artists really exist?"
"Yeah. This is also the first time I'm hearing of such people."
"Heh, you don't know because you're ignorant. Bloodline martial artists have existed since ancient times. These people who look like us on the outside, but their blood is different. Some are green, some are yellow, and some even look like gold!"
"These people all have one thing in common, and that is that the speed at which they cultivate martial arts is extremely fast, and the might after mastering them is exceptionally powerful. In the capital, I once saw a bloodline martial artist who, in a fit of rage, could transform into a Mutated Beast! After that, his combat strength and destructive power were extremely exaggerated. Those at a higher realm would be no match for them, let alone those in the same realm!"
"Are you serious? Do you have to be so exaggerated? Transforming into a Mutated Beast? Were you watching a movie?"
"Person above, ignorance isn't your fault, but bragging everywhere when you're ignorant is your problem. Earth Star is huge. There are countless things you don't know about."
"According to what you people have said, if bloodline martial artists really exist, doesn't that mean that these people are stronger than us even before they were born?"
"Of course, if you want to become a bloodline martial artist, you can only pray you'll be put into a womb with a bloodline legacy when you reincarnate. Of course, whether or not bloodline martial artists can unleash the power of their bloodline is another matter. This is because there's also a saying about bloodline concentration. Those with a lower concentration can't do anything with it. Similarly, the descendants of a bloodline martial artist might not necessarily possess a special bloodline. There are quite a few probabilities involved in this."
"I'm so envious. If only I have a bloodline legacy."
"…"
In the forums, chat groups, and in reality, people were discussing the "bloodline martial artists" that Su Jingxing exposed.
After all, bloodline martial artists were born with innate abilities. They were three times, five times, and ten times faster than ordinary people when cultivating martial arts.
Even those with less concentrated bloodlines could master other things faster than ordinary people.
To an ordinary person, this was a hack. Regardless of the extent of the ability, it was enviable.
Especially when bloodline legacies were irrespective of rich or poor.
Some people might be miserably poor, but their ancestors were bloodline martial artists, so they have the possibility of awakening the power of their bloodline. Once done, they could soar into the sky.
This made many people secretly decide to release some blood in private to see if they had a bloodline legacy.
As for what Su Jingxing had specifically stated in his article, among bloodline martial artists, there were some whose bloodline power contained serious flaws and huge drawbacks. No one took this portion to heart.
Su Jingxing had already expected this.
When it came to bloodline martial artists, people would only envy the power of their bloodline and not consider the drawbacks.
However, when paired with another article about the hidden threat to girls born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year, there was a different effect.
There were more than a hundred of them who had been captured and imprisoned in a secret base. One would be killed every once in a while.
Although this matter was officially made public and many people paid attention to it, it did not cause a sensation.
This was because similar abductions occurred every year in every city of Earth Star.
But with the content that Su Jingxing specially exposed, things were different.
Birth time!
Gu Duoduo and the other girls were all born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year.
The people who captured them had obviously specially selected them.
Su Jingxing didn't say what was the use of capturing and killing them, but with a bit of guidance, coupled with the flaws of bloodline martial artists, it immediately caused an uproar in the city.
"F*ck, this was definitely premeditated!"
"Duh! Bloodline martial artists have flaws in their bloodline, so they captured girls born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year and killed them. It must be to counter the flaws. As for the method, it can't be anything other than r*pe, drinking their blood, or using them as ingredients in medicine."
"Are you serious? R*pe? Amongst this group of captured girls, there are more than 30 minors and over 10 under the age of 10. Are those bloodline martial artists beasts!?"
"Beasts? They're worse than beasts! F*ck, my older sister was also born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year. 13 years ago, she suddenly disappeared and never came back. Although we knew that there was a high chance that she was murdered and not even her ashes were left behind, our family never imagined that she would be eaten as a "tonic" for another person! Ahhh!!"
"…"
"…"
"Although I don't want to admit it, this incident is definitely true. There is a hidden bloodline family clan in Qinghe City. They kidnapped the girls born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year and used them as tonics to remove the drawbacks of their bloodline. Therefore, the girls with such birth times and dates must protect themselves!"
"That's right. If it wasn't for OP's revelation, I wouldn't have known. My cousin was also born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year. She herself, and her parents, didn't realize it either!"
"Who could have imagined this? But I'm more curious about which family clan in the city has a bloodline inheritance. If we know who they are, wouldn't we be able to launch a city-wide boycott?"
"Hehe, although there are a lot of martial arts families in the city, there are only a few that are capable of capturing hundreds of people without anyone knowing and owning their private secret bases!"
"Are you talking about the five major martial arts family clans? The Shi Family of the Western District, the Li Family of the Central and Eastern District, the Zhou and Wang Family of the Southern District, and the Qi family of the Northern District?"
"…"
"…"
"Cough. Um, I'm not helping anyone clear up their name. I'm mainly here to share some information. The Li Family, as we all know, is the top family clan of Qinghe City who rules over Eastern District and Central District. Their family fortune was built up when Li Nongtang, the ancestor of the current line of descendants, made it to the position of Chancellor as a seventh-grade martial artist.
"Because of a great merit, he received the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra bestowed by Emperor Yu that time and became a martial art family. The Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra was profound and difficult to cultivate. Starting from Old Master Li, for four generations, no one had succeeded in cultivating it. However, a genius emerged in their fifth generation and relied on the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra to cultivate to the third-grade!
"Therefore, among the five martial arts families, the Li Family can first be eliminated. They do not have a bloodline legacy."
"In that case, the Qi Family can be eliminated as well. Everyone knows that the Qi Family's might comes from Combat Beasts. They have three Spiritual Beasts and more than a thousand tamed Savage Beasts!"
"The Wang family can be ruled out too. As everyone knows, the Wang Family has only risen up for less than 20 years. Although Boss Wang has many male concubines, she has no children. She has publicly announced that she would never have children in this life. The reason why she was able to rise to power was firstly because of a unique treasure, the Profound Water Pearl and secondly, because she became a disciple of Hundred Flower Valley."
"Huh in that case, that only leaves the Shi Family of the Western District and the Zhou Family of the Southern District?"
"That's right. So was kidnapping girls born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year to remove the drawbacks of their bloodline the work of the Shi Family or the Zhou Family?"
"F*ck, the person above is so bold. Aren't you afraid that the Shi and Zhou families will find trouble with you? After all, we don't have any evidence to prove that it was either one of them who did it."
"What am I afraid of? My brother-in-law is a direct descendant of the Li Family, Li Shengke!"
"…You're awesome!"
"…"

Chapter 106: Who Exactly Is It!?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This matter had blown up!
It was becoming bigger and bigger!
Apart from leading the discussion, Su Jingxing did not interfere again. It was completely the various experts in analyzing and imagining things who kept digging deeper and deeper, before locking onto the Shi Family of the Western District and the Zhou Family of the South District.
Capturing girls born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year to r*pe them, drink their blood or use as ingredients in medicine…
Was it the Shi Family or the Zhou Family who did these inhumane things?
Although these two families were both well-known martial arts families in Qinghe City with legacies of more than a hundred years, they were unlike the Li, Wang and Qi family who had a clear history of their uprising.
This was especially true for the Wang Family. Although it was said to be a martial arts family, it was just Boss Wang alone.
Boss Wang's real name was Wang Tiedao1.
Her name was special and her figure was also abnormally burly. She was nearly 1.9 meters tall.
Her looks were not bad, but neither could she be called beautiful.
Before she became famous, she was a laborer on the streets. She relied on her natural Herculean strength to make a living by doing strenuous work.
Because of a fortuitous encounter, she obtained the Profound Water Pearl and fused this unique treasure with her body. By the time others wanted to kill her and seize this treasure, Boss Wang had already caught the eye of an elder from a major sect in Yu Nation, the Hundred Flower Valley and was taken as a disciple.
This elder was not in the middle ranks but in the top ranks. She was also an expert among experts in other countries.
With her backing, Boss Wang was able to break out of the crisis, develop in Qinghe City and expand her family.
Although she was a woman, Boss Wang was open-minded and generous. The only thing she was denounced for was marrying hundreds of men.
Handsome ones, sissy ones, big and tall ones, skinny ones, fair-skinned ones, tanned ones…
In short, Boss Wang had collected all kinds of beautiful men.
Some people were impressed, some disgusted, some envious.
In any case, Boss Wang was very famous. As for her family, they were just some poor relatives.
Unlike the Shi Family and Zhou Family, influential and in big numbers. There were hundreds of juniors.
Everyone had their own guesses as to who it was.
Of course, most of them were more reserved with their comments. Those without any backing would not dare to mention names.
With such a massive wave of public opinion, the Shi and Zhou families naturally paid attention to it.
The Zhou Family was still alright. Other than refuting rumors, all they did was give strict warnings.
But the Shi Family was both shocked and flustered!
…
Bam!
A vase that had been treasured for hundreds of years was thrown onto the ground and smashed into pieces by Shi Jinnian.
"Who is it!"
Shi Jinnian, who had been worried because of the destruction of his base, had a terribly grim expression on his face. His eyes were spitting fire, as though he was about to eat someone alive. He growled, "Who is it that keeps going against us? Go and investigate! Find out who it is!"
"…"
The hall was silent.
Every Shi Family member present didn't look good. They were either furious, flustered, or terrified.
The Shi Family's biggest secret had been exposed!
Even though it hadn't been completely leaked, most of the information was exactly as the netizens had guessed.
They did indeed rely on absorbing the blood from the hearts of virgins born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year to remove this drawback.
The reason why the secret was a secret was that outsiders did not know about it.
Now that the entire city was aware of this matter and everybody was discussing it, how could they not panic?
Was it the Shi Family or the Zhou Family?
Ordinary people might not be able to tell the difference, but to some people, it was very easy to judge.
In other words, the fact that the Shi Family were bloodline martial artists had already been exposed to some people!
This consequence was extremely serious, serious to the point where chaos could erupt at any time, and affect the entire Shi Family.
On the surface, Shi Jinnian was furious, but in reality, he was also a little flustered inwardly.
However, as the Patriarch, he could not show any weakness at this time.
"Nine, you've always been in charge of the web. What's going on? It's been almost a day and you still haven't suppressed the matter!"
Shi Jinnian took a deep breath, turning his head to look at a middle-aged beauty as he questioned her in a deep voice.
The beautiful woman's name was Shi Jinyue. Presently, she was a little pale, and her eyes flickered with fear.
Upon hearing the question, she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and replied, "The person who leaked the news is an expert! An IT expert! The other party hacked into all the forums and communities in the city and pinned the two most crucial articles. No matter how our men delete them, they can't be deleted, unless…"
"Unless what?" Shi Jinnian's face darkened.
"Unless we shutdown the server." Shi Jinyue sighed. "As long as the server is still open, our men can't do anything."
"Then shut it!"
"Yes, at a time like this, who cares about the websites and market value!"
"…"
When the others heard this, they began to reprimand her.
"It's useless." Shi Jinyue shook her head. "There are tens of thousands of local websites in Qinghe City. We can only restrict one-tenth of them. Even if we shut down our own servers, the other websites and media are still discussing the matter."
The Shi Family was dumbfounded.
"T… Then what should we do?" An old man was stunned. "Are we just going to watch the public opinion continue like this? In the end, will we be completely exposed?"
"Of course not." Shi Jinyue took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Public opinion and the topic of discussion can be changed. Right now, everyone's attention is on this matter because of the group of people who were captured. The sensation caused by this has yet to dissipate, and the person who leaked the news deliberately did some steering to result in a huge commotion.
"As long as we expose something big that everyone can relate to, we can quickly change the topic, and the sensation of our matter will gradually ease. At that time, we can find the person hiding behind the scenes, and we can put things right once and for all!"
"W… What do you mean?" The elder who asked the question was stunned once more.
Shi Jinyue did not reply and only looked towards Shi Jinnian.
The latter remained silent.
The rest of the people who came back to their senses were shocked too.
"Nine, there's no need to sacrifice so much, right?" A middle-aged man sighed.
"If you don't want to reveal that matter, tell me something that will interest the entire city." Shi Jinyue pouted.
"I…" The middle aged man was speechless.
"You can't say that." Another man frowned. "It's fine to change the topic, but since this incident has already happened…"
"Alright, cut the crap." Shi Jinnian interrupted and said, "Go ahead with it. It's already too much, relying on our family for that matter. If it's a leak, it can reduce the losses, so it may be a good thing."
"Okay!"
When Shi Jinyue heard this, her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "I'll take care of it right away. I'll get it done in ten minutes!"
With that, she turned around and strode towards the door, disappearing from sight.
Shi Jinnian was left behind in deep thought.
"Who is it who is targeting us behind the scenes?"
…
In the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Su Jingxing sat in front of the computer and smiled happily as he watched the agitation on the Internet.
It was unrealistic to wipe out the entire Shi Family with one incident. It was a piece of cake to play with them in the dark and leave them sleepless.
The Shi Family also had a part to play in this controversy. They even tried to track Su Jingxing's network address.
In the end, they were led by Su Jingxing to the capital's central official website and almost got caught.
Trying to track Su Jingxing online could only be said to be wishful thinking.
Beep beep~
An alarm sounded.
"Again?"
Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows and was prepared to lead the people on a wild goose chase. He opened the message and was stunned.
"Greetings, Legend. We are from the Stone Annihilation Alliance. Can we befriend you?"

Chapter 107: Stone Annihilation Alliance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Stone Annihilation Alliance?
An independent alliance?
Su Jingxing was in thought.
He knew about the independent alliances. Almost every country had them.
Stone Annihilation Alliance. This name sounds very domineering too.
World Annihilation…
Hey, wait a minute!
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Su Jingxing's mind. He stared at the words "Stone Annihilation Alliance" and repeated them.
"Stone Annihilation? Stone Annihilation? Stone Annihilation! Could it be…"
With these guesses, Su Jingxing who originally wanted to ignore and close the chat, didn't follow through with the act.
Instead, he quickly typed a reply.
"Stone Annihilation? Destroy the Shi Family"
Beep beep~
The other party replied very quickly.
"That's right! The members of our alliance have relatives who have been harmed by the Shi Family. Some of them are even the only survivors!"
"We know that relying on ourselves, we will never be able to do anything to the Shi Family. For this, we joined forces and formed an alliance. The purpose of the Stone Annihilation Alliance is to destroy the Shi Family!"
"Legend, you probably have a grudge against the Shi Family too? O(_)O!"
Do I have a grudge against the Shi Family?
It could be considered so.
However, compared to this, Su Jingxing was more curious about the existence of this Stone Annihilation Alliance.
There were actually people secretly working together to destroy the Shi Family.
Regardless of whether this goal could be achieved, their courage was commendable.
It was indeed difficult to destroy the Shi Family with just one or two people.
Even if a third-grade big shot was here, he could not guarantee that he would not miss a single one.
This was because the Shi Family was a martial arts family with a history of hundreds of years. They had many descendants in the direct and collateral lines of descendants. Qinghe City was just their headquarters. In the various functional towns, other cities, and even prefecture cities, there were active Shi Family members.
Annihilating the Shi Family could only be said to be eliminating the main members. At most, wiping out their local members.
Those who were scattered outside had to be given up.
This Stone Annihilation Alliance wishes to destroy the Shi Family. Were they very powerful?
Even killing the local Shi Family members in Qinghe City alone would still be quite difficult.
At this thought, Su Jingxing typed his reply.
"Do you have many people?"
Beep beep~
"We do have quite a lot of people, but we don't have many martial artists. By the way, Legend, were you the one who rescued those girls who were captured by the Shi Family?"
Beep beep~
"I mean, did you do so personally? -_-"
Beep beep~
"Sorry, sorry. I'm not doubting you. I'm just curious whether you and the fourth-grade expert are the same person?"
Beep beep~
"Huhu, did I offend you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I've always been bad with my words. I didn't know why I said that."
Beep beep~
"Huhu, Legend, if you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't vent your anger on our alliance. We are all pitiful people. We were forced into a corner by the Shi Family, so we chose to form an alliance and depend on one another…"
No more?
Su Jingxing was enjoying the show. Why did this person suddenly stop?
Did the Internet get cut off or was this person called away?
Or perhaps this person realized that he or she had revealed too much information and hurriedly escaped?
Judging from the language, this person who suddenly contacted him was probably an innocent young girl.
Of course, it could also be a male pretending to be a female.
No matter who it was, the person was from the Stone Annihilation Alliance for sure.
They had many people, but not many martial artists.
From this description, one could determine that the Stone Annihilation Alliance might be quite influential, but their strength should be ordinary.
No matter how many ordinary people there were, since there were not many martial artists, while they could deal with ordinary people, destroying the Shi Family would be expecting too much.
Beep beep~
The notification sounded again.
"Greetings, Senior. I'm sorry that our little sister's words were inappropriate and offended you. If possible, please send an account number to us and we will transfer you 100 million Great Yu dollars. We know that this amount of money is nothing to you, but it is a token of our sincerity. We hope that you can forgive us."
Oh, another person now?
Su Jingxing's interest was piqued. He read through the content, thought about it, and typed a reply.
…
On the other side. In a spacious office with windows that were tightly covered.
"Hu hu hu. What do I do? What do I do? Why do I have such a stupid mouth? Why do I never learn? I dare to say anything. It's over now, it's over now."
A 16 year old girl with a bowl cut and a round face sat on a chair and wailed with a mournful expression.
"Enough."
Beside her was an oval-faced woman with fair skin. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and she had a heroic bearing. She consoled helplessly, "It has already happened. Frustration and regret are useless. What we need to do now is think of a way to make up for it."
The round-faced girl rubbed her eyes and said with a sobbing tone, "Sister Qian, do you think the Legend will forgive me?"
"If he really is the fourth-grade expert who broke into the Shi Family's secret base at Turtleback Mountain alone, killed all the guards, and rescued Han Min and the others, he would not be so petty as to get angry with you because of a few unintentional words."
In a corner of the office, a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor and a shocking scar on his right face said in a deep voice.
"Yes, given that big shot's character, how could he be so petty?"
A young man with messy hair rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "That expert is simply too suave. Not only is he suave, he's also cool! He actually destroyed a secret base of the Shi Family. We never dared to imagine such a thing, yet he accomplished it alone. He's simply too cool!"
"That's right. Our alliance has been established for almost five years, but we've always been fighting small battles, only daring to cause trouble for the Shi Family in business." Not far away from the young man, was a woman with completely white hair but a face that was still youthful. She looked exhausted and spoke softly.
"It's not that we're useless. Ya Ge, don't always deny yourself. Who here doesn't know how powerful the Shi Family is? In the entire Qinghe City, other than the Li family who dares to speak out and is stronger than them, which other person or faction dares to say that they can defeat the Shi Family?"
A man with a full beard said seriously, "We've already agreed from the start that we definitely must not make unnecessary sacrifices. Targeting the businesses was the countermeasure we've discussed from the start. As long as we have enough money, so what if we lack martial artists? We can totally hire a team of assassins to find trouble with the Shi Family!"
"That's right. We don't ask to destroy the Shi Family in one go. As long as we still have people alive and we continue to earn money and hire killers, the Shi Family will never be at peace!"
"That's true, but the key is that the amount of money needed to hire an assassin group is massive. Which professional assassin would dare to accept the task without 10 billion dollars?"
"I'm just afraid that before we earn enough money, we will be discovered by the Shi Family and wiped out. The last time, Little Bing went to seek revenge on Shi Yankang in her recklessness. She almost exposed our whereabouts and allowed the Shi Family to find us."
"I'm sorry." The woman called Little Bing lowered her head and spoke softly.
"Little Bing, I'm not looking for trouble for no reason. I'm just trying to use this as an example to explain the situation to everyone. The route was earning ten billion dollars, and then looking for an assassin team to exterminate the Shi Family has now been proven wrong!" the man who spoke said with a serious expression.
The entire office fell silent.
That's right, they had long discovered this problem.
However, they had no choice. Without relying on earning money to hire assassins and going to the Shi Family by themselves was completely courting death. Every person to go would die. It would be a meaningless sacrifice.
This had happened several times at the beginning of the Stone Annihilation Alliance's establishment.
Thus, they agreed not to directly cause trouble for the Shi Family, only going by the side or the back. The best method was to hire a group of assassins.
The assassins only cared about money.
As long as they had enough money, they would even dare to assassinate the Li Family, the number one martial arts family in Qinghe City, let alone the Shi Family.
The problem was that the Shi Family was not an ordinary faction. They were a well-known martial arts family with a hundred years of history. If they wished to hire assassins to deal with the Shi Family, the price would be extremely high.
At least 10 billion Great Yu dollars!
Yu Nation was one of the safest countries on Earth Star.
As such, the purchasing power of their currency, Great Yu dollars, was very powerful.
Even a business under the Li Family, would take two to three years to make 10 billion dollars of profit.
It would take at least a few decades for the Stone Annihilation Alliance to scrape together the amount.
Decades. They could wait, but the Shi Family already knew of the existence of the Stone Annihilation Alliance and had always wanted to find them and eliminate them. Were they sure they could hold out until then?
No one in the office could guarantee this.
For this, no one had anything to say. They only felt deeply helpless.
The sheer size of the Shi Family made people feel helpless and hopeless!
Ding!
The computer's notification beep sounded.
The round-faced girl immediately leaned over. The oval-faced woman also looked nervous.
"No need."
"This is a small matter. It's not offensive."
"Haha, the Legend is the Legend. I knew it, why would the Legend blame me?" The round-faced girl cheered, clapping her hands as she stood up and walked in circles on the empty space beside her.
"Phew~"
The oval-faced woman let out a sigh of relief. Then, she smacked the round-faced girl sulkily. "You still dare to speak? Remember, be more mindful of what you say in the future, don't spill everything."
"Hehe, Sister Qian, don't worry. I promise that I'll ask you before I say anything in the future!" The round-faced girl hugged the oval-faced woman's shoulder in a fawning manner.
"Tsk, how many times have you said that?" The young man with messy hair rolled his eyes at her. Then, he looked at the oval-faced woman and said excitedly, "Qianqian, try asking this IT master if he's the fourth-grade expert who destroyed a secret base of the Shi Family?"
"No." The bearded man said unhappily, "Little Yue, can you not add to the trouble? How can we casually ask such a question?"
"I'm just curious." The young man smiled awkwardly. "If the two of them are the same person, that would be even cooler. They would be unbelievably charming. A fourth-grade in martial arts, with godly IT skills. If such an expert joins us, then we have a chance of revenge. We don't have to wait decades!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at everyone in the office and whistled. "Hehe, don't tell me you people don't have such thoughts!"
"Cough cough."
"I don't. Don't spout nonsense."
"Right, when did I say something like that?"
"…"
When the others heard this, they all shook their heads and expressed that they were being wronged.
"Come on."
When the young man heard this, he looked at everyone in disdain and grinned. "Is it fun to deceive yourself and others? I was wondering why the atmosphere has been so weird for the past two days. So you guys were thinking of this idea to attract this fourth-grade expert to join us! Hehe, you guys are really bold with your ideas, but I'm even bolder! Not only do I want this big shot to join us, I also want to acknowledge him as my master!"
"Tsk!"
The crowd, who had been embarrassed at first, started jeering when they heard the last sentence. They looked at the young man with disdain.
Become his disciple?
Wishful thinking!
Dream on, no, it's impossible even in a dream!
"Stop fooling around, the Legend has replied again." The round-faced girl suddenly shouted.
"Do you dare to take a big gamble?" The round-faced girl finished reading the contents word by word and asked doubtfully, "What does this mean?"
The oval-faced woman was also puzzled. She typed a reply, "You mean?"
…
"Wiping out the Shi Family, of course!"
Su Jingxing replied, "Don't all of you have a feud with the Shi Family? Do you dare to pay with your lives just to take revenge on the Shi Family? Take a big gamble!"
Beep beep~
"Legend, do you have any good ideas?"
Still didn't understand?
Su Jingxing pursed his lips and typed a reply. "Let me ask, do you people dare to sacrifice yourselves to destroy the Shi Family?"
"Yes!"
That's it.
Su Jingxing chuckled and continued to reply, "That's good. I have a way to make the Shi Family suffer heavy casualties and destroy their foundation. But the risk is huge and you might die any time."
Beep beep~
"Senior, please feel free to speak your mind. From the moment our alliance was established, everyone was prepared to be sacrificed. We just don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices. If we can destroy the Shi Family, we are willing to die for it."
Gutsy!
Su Jingxing smiled and was about to reply when suddenly, more than ten web pages popped up on his computer. On each webpage, a post had popped up forcefully. On them were eye-catching titles.
Jin Mushen's Treasure Is Hidden Underground of The Sky Water River Bank!

The headlines were very eye-catching and people couldn't wait to click on them.
Su Jingxing could not be bothered to discuss a plan with the people of the Stone Annihilation Alliance. He clicked on these posts and quickly read through them.
Once he did, he realized that on the southern bank of the Sky Water River Southern District, under the mud flat, a corrupt official named Jin Mushen had a tomb.
Inside the tomb were countless treasures that Jin Mushen had collected when he was alive.
Martial arts, money, weapons, jewelry, elixirs…
There was all kinds of good stuff.
Most importantly, pictures spoke the truth, there were many pictures in the post.
In the pictures, a few people had picked up several precious antiques on the mud flat. One of them even picked up a treasure weapon!
Although it was a treasure weapon with a chip, it was still a treasure weapon. Even if it was chipped, it was still worth more than a million dollars.
Apart from this, the post also introduced Jin Mushen's life.
This fellow was a high-ranking official of the Changyang Prefecture more than 200 years ago. He was most greedy.
He had plundered countless treasures when he was still alive, but after his death, they were nowhere to be found.
Through the clues, words, and pictures, the post clearly pointed out that the treasure left behind by Jin Mushen was under the mud flat on the bank of the Sky Water River!
"Treasure of a corrupt official? Bullsh*t, it's clearly a diversion!"
The surname "Shi" translates literally to stone..

Chapter 108: Proof of Allegiance
Regardless of whether the treasures left behind by Jin Mushen were real or not.
If this matter was exposed at this time, it would definitely be the Shi Family manipulating things from behind the scenes to interfere with public opinion and divert the public's attention.
After all, persons born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year were in the minority.
Apart from their parents, friends, and relatives who were concerned about the subsequent developments, the others were basically just here to join in the fun and weren't too serious about it.
Treasures were different!
According to the leaked information, the tomb left behind by Jin Mushen, a change in the underground water level impacted the treasure chamber and brought the treasures to the surface, mixed in the mud flat.
As long as people search the mud, there would be a high chance of picking up treasures.
This was a treasure hunt that everyone could participate in!
Once the news spread, the entire city would be in an uproar. At that time, no one would have the mood to pay attention to those who were born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year.
Digging for treasures on the mud flat would be the right thing to do!
Therefore, Su Jingxing quickly deleted the post and hacked into the back-end of the website where the post had appeared. He blocked the related links and keywords and sent a message to the Stone Annihilation Alliance, asking them to mobilize their forces to resolve the spread of television, radio, and newspapers, cutting off the Shi Family's counterattack from the source.
This was also an opportunity to gauge how much secular capacity the Stone Annihilation Alliance had.
They had many people, but not many martial artists.
Su Jingxing wanted to see how many people they had and how much power they could unleash.
With him controlling the web, the news of the corrupt official's treasure was quickly suppressed.
The TV, radio, and newspapers would have to wait.
Since the Shi Family had launched a counterattack, these channels would not be absent.
At night, Su Jingxing was satisfied to discover that the public was still unaware about the corrupt official's treasure. Everyone was still talking about bloodline martial artists and the dangers of being a girl born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year.
"Good."
Su Jingxing praised and sent a message to the Stone Annihilation Alliance.
…
Ding!
A notification sounded in the closed office.
The round-faced girl, who was so tired that she had collapsed on the table, subconsciously raised her head to take a look. She immediately cried out in surprise and excitedly said, "The Legend has replied, he said that we did a good job!"
Hu~
Hearing this, the others who had perked up their ears immediately let out a breath. They recovered significantly from their fatigue.
"F*ck, we threw in almost 200 million dollars. If it doesn't work, we might as well just disband," the messy-haired man sighed.
"Such a situation must not be made permanent. We used half of our reserves at one go. If we do it again, five years of our savings will be gone." The bearded man sighed.
"We can earn more money. At most, it will take us some time. Most importantly, for this operation, we have mobilized all the people we can mobilize. These people have basically been exposed now, and we will face the Shi Family's revenge at any time!"
The oval-faced woman said in a deep voice, "What to do next must be decided immediately!"
"Yes, that's the most important. Does the Legend have any further instructions?" The man with messy hair asked nervously.
"Not yet." The round-faced girl shook her head. Then, she whispered, "Do you want me to ask?"
"Let me." The oval-faced woman stood up and walked forward.
Ding!
A notification sounded.
The round-faced girl turned and gaped.
"What's wrong?" The oval-faced woman who walked over was puzzled. When she saw the contents of the chat box on the computer screen, her expression also changed.
"What's wrong? Say something," pressed the messy-haired man.
The others also wore grave expressions. They stood up and surrounded the screen.
The oval-faced woman took a deep breath and said, "He wants us to kill Shi Yankang!"
What?
Exclamations rose from the crowd.
"What does he mean? Ah, what does this fourth-grade big shot mean? Is he telling us to tempt fate? In order to cooperate with him, we have already exposed most of our people. Now that these people are facing the threat of being killed at any time, he still wants us to kill Shi Yankang. What is the meaning of this!" Someone jumped up and shouted angrily.
"That's right. Shi Yankang is a sixth-grade martial artist, and he has a group of martial artists in the lower ranks following him every day. We only have one sixth-grade martial artist. Are we going to let Elder Huang perish with Shi Yankang for him?"
"I don't think it's that simple. This fourth-grade expert must have other intentions."
"Other intentions? What other intentions? He just wants to send us to our doom and use our lives to destroy some of the sideline characters of the Shi Family so that he can watch the show from the side!"
"That's too much. If he's here to watch the show, would he expose the secret of the Shi Family's bloodline? And even destroy a base of theirs outside the city?"
"Heh, whether he's the one who destroyed the secret base still needs to be deliberated."
"You…"
"Enough!"
A loud roar resounded through the office, suppressing everyone's clamors.
The man with a hideous scar on his face shouted with a somber look, "Shut up!"
"Look at all of you, look at all of you. He hasn't even told us the exact plan yet, but you all are already so impatient and agitated that you're jumping up and down. If we really take action, wouldn't you all be in chaos!?"
Silence.
The office fell into silence.
After being reprimanded, some people felt ashamed, while others remained indignant.
When the oval-faced woman, the scarred man, and the bearded man saw this, they couldn't help but sigh.
Although they weren't quite a disorderly mob, many people in the alliance could not get anything done.
Playing dirty tricks in the dark was no problem, but once they were put in the open to face the Shi Family, their true colors were immediately revealed.
Fear was understandable, but fear was not an issue either.
However, if they were already in a mess before the war even started. What achievements could they talk about?
Destroy the Shi Family?
With such a mentality, it would be better for them to leave Qinghe City as early as possible!
"I understand everyone's feelings."
The oval-faced woman took a deep breath and broke the silence. "If you're really afraid, it's not too late to back out now and leave Qinghe City."
"Sister Qian, that's not what I meant…"
"Do you think that the oath of alliance we issued when we invited you to join us was fake?" The oval-faced woman did not wait for the person to speak before she interrupted coldly, "To destroy the Shi Family, we will not hesitate to die. To destroy the Shi Family, we will not hesitate to die!"
"Back then, you shouted the slogan loud and clear. What about now? Have you forgotten about it? Have you completely forgotten about it?"
The person who spoke blushed and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
The oval-faced woman did not press him any further. She stared at him for a while before retracting her gaze and looking around at the crowd. She raised her voice and said, "All of us are gathered together because we share the same goal of annihilating the Shi Family. In order to achieve this goal, we have worked hard for the past five years and thought of all sorts of methods. But we are still far from achieving our goal. The reason is that we do not have high-end combat strength and do not have more martial artists in the middle ranks!
"For that, we choose to endure and wait for an opportunity.
"Before today, none of us knew how long we'd have to wait.
"But now he has appeared!
"A fourth-grade expert is willing to cooperate with us to destroy the Shi Family!
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, it might never come again.
"Perhaps everyone is curious as to why that fourth-grade expert wanted us to kill Shi Yankang?"
"The reason is simple.. He wants us to show proof of our allegiance!"

Chapter 109: Interception And Kill
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
That's right, it was a proof of allegiance!
Stone Annihilation Alliance, Stone Annihilation Alliance.
Yet they hadn't killed a single person from the Shi Family, so what kind of alliance was this?
Although the events of the day had shown Su Jingxing that the Stone Annihilation Alliance was quite powerful, suppressing public opinion was completely different from killing a direct descendant of the Shi Family.
Shi Yankang wasn't Shi Jindong who had sought refuge with the Li Family.
Shi Yankang, who was in his thirties, was the leader of the younger generation of the Shi Family.
Many of the businesses under the Shi Family were managed by him.
The person Wan Rong followed when he was alive was Shi Yankang.
Through Wan Rong and Nie Renchou's memories, Su Jingxing's understanding of Shi Yankang wasn't 100%, but there was definitely at least 90%.
Unlike others, Shi Yankang didn't like money, women, or martial arts.
His only hobby was listening to music. Classical music at that.
He loved to sit alone in a spacious auditorium and listen to an orchestra play.
If they performed well, they would be rewarded handsomely. If not, he would personally strangle and kill one person. If worse, he would strangle and kill another person.
Therefore, many people had died in Shi Yankang's hands, and they were all musicians.
After strangling them, he would even provide a very high amount of compensation.
But since the person was dead, any amount of money would be pointless.
Su Jingxing chose him because he wanted to see if the people from the Stone Annihilation Alliance were really not afraid of death.
Secondly, he wanted to see if there were any spies planted by the Shi Family in the Stone Annihilation Alliance, or if there were people who had already betrayed, or were going to betray them!
This was especially important.
Only after ensuring that the Stone Annihilation Alliance was clean would Su Jingxing cooperate with them and launch a huge plan against the Shi Family.
This was also the prerequisite for working with him.
If they couldn't even handle a single Shi Yankang, there was no need to talk about anything else.
The question was thrown out. Now, it was up to the Stone Annihilation Alliance to respond.
…
Beep beep~
A notification sounded.
Su Jingxing opened the chat and chuckled.
"Very good, let me see how you guys will kill Shi Yankang."
The Stone Annihilation Alliance had agreed!
Furthermore, they were taking action that very night. They planned to intercept Shi Yankang, who was back on the way back to his residence, and kill him in the later half of the night.
As an important direct descendant of the Shi Family, the Stone Annihilation Alliance had always been watching him.
They had long grasped Shi Yankang's whereabouts.
They hadn't dared to act previously because they had too many misgivings, especially since they had failed before.
If they wanted to kill him now, they could immediately gather their manpower and set up an ambush.
They had also chosen the venue and informed Su Jingxing because they wanted him to watch the show live.
Su Jingxing gladly accepted it.
…
2 AM.
Qinghe City, Western District. Beside the Bypass Highway.
On the top of a big tree on a mountain, Su Jingxing stood on a branch and looked at the road with few cars in the distance.
Presently, it was deep into the night and a car would only pass by on Bypass Highway once in a while.
The exit of the highway, a junction of three roads, was where the Stone Annihilation Alliance would intercept and kill Shi Yankang.
Su Jingxing arrived ten minutes in advance. He activated his Night Vision and Distant Vision abilities at the same time, looking into the distance.
He realized that a group of people had arrived and were lying in ambush around the three-way junction.
There were people lurking in the flower beds, behind the tourist attractions, on top of buildings, and even in a small river beside the highway.
Everyone held different items in their hands.
There were sniper rifles, short crossbows, bows, and of course, there were also large sabers, longswords, and other treasure weapons.
Dozens of people were lying in ambush in different places, waiting silently.
When three cars exited the highway and reached the junction——
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Under Su Jingxing's gaze, three sniper bullets broke the silence and hit the tires.
Immediately, the cars lost their balance and rolled in the air after skidding a few meters on the ground.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Almost at the instant the cars began rolling, a dozen arrows with explosives tied to them shot out from the darkness, hitting the cars and triggering explosions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three explosions echoed through the night.
At this moment, seven or eight figures rushed out from the cars that were in the air.
Without waiting for the cars to land, they jumped out ahead of time.
People tumbled through the air, or flashed quickly to avoid the exploding and burning cars.
Martial artists!
Martial artists who were at least in the seventh-grade.
Among them was the ashen-faced Shi Yankang.
"A bunch of smelly bugs, courting death…"
Hu! Hu! Hu!
More than ten crossbows suddenly interrupted Shi Yankang's low roar and shot out from the darkness towards his group.
The enraged Shi Yankang had no choice but to shut up and dodge.
The same went for the others. The lightness skills and movement techniques they cultivated were not bad, so they were basically able to dodge.
Only two people were injured by the crossbow arrows that grazed their shoulders and faces.
Then, in less than three seconds, these two people convulsed and foamed at the mouth as they fell to the ground.
"There's poison!"
Shi Yankang shouted in a low voice, and his expression turned uglier and uglier. Flames spewed from his eyes as he wiped his hands on his waist.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
One by one, darts shot out to attack the dark corners.
Ugh!
Thump!
Some people groaned, some fell to the ground, and some died on the spot.
The people around Shi Yankang also pulled out their guns and pulled the trigger at the exposed members of the Stone Annihilation Alliance.
As they fired, they executed their movement techniques and quickly pounced over.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots rang out and the sound of rushing wind could be heard without end.
After throwing the darts, Shi Yankang pulled out two short swords and held them in his hands. His body was also like an arrow as he rushed towards the people hiding behind the flower beds.
Before he arrived, he swung his short swords and released a sword energy to slice across from a distance.
Bang! Bang!
It was also then that two explosions resounded in the air.
It was the people behind the flower bed. They had directly thrown bombs at Shi Yankang.
Shi Yankang, who was halfway there, wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. He was struck on the spot, and his clothes were torn. There was a wound in his chest that was badly mangled. The skin on half of his face was also rolled up.
He was injured!
Of course, if it wasn't for the protection of his protective true energy, his consequences wouldn't have been as simple as getting injured. He would have just collapsed and become immobile.
Even so, Shi Yankang was furious. Enduring the pain in his body, he rushed in front of the seven ambushers and brandished his short swords.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
With a flash of sword light, the seven of them were killed on the spot.
Shi Yankang gave a low roar and continued to pounce towards another side where there were people firing at him.
Bang bang bang!
The protective true energy around his body was struck by the bullet, and sparks flew everywhere as the bullets were repelled.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A dozen crossbow arrows launched themselves at him from the side.
Shi Yankang suddenly increased his speed and dodged these arrows. With the short swords in hand, he rushed into the firing crowd.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a saber suddenly appeared and blocked Shi Yankang's path. Facing his head, it slashed down.
"It's you!"
Shi Yankang gritted his teeth and brandished his short swords with both hands to receive the saber
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Saber energy and sword energy collided in a split second, unleashing waves of energy that wreaked havoc in the surroundings and even the ground.
The white hair of the old man holding the saber stood out in the night.
On his resolute and old face, his gaze was fixed on Shi Yankang.
He didn't care about his own safety and began a battle to the death with Shi Yankang using moves that would doom them to the same fate.
Finally, with a strange sound, Shi Yankang's two short swords stabbed into his shoulders and abdomen, while his saber also chopped off Shi Yankang's head!

Chapter 110: It's Not Enough!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Once Shi Yankang died, his guards immediately went crazy and charged into the crowd to kill them without any care.
However, it was a pity that they were not sixth-grade martial artists and did not have protective true energy to protect themselves. Faced with the continuous close-range shots of the crossbow arrows and the siege of more than ten large-caliber firearms, they were soon seriously injured and subsequently died.
After everyone was dealt with, the remaining members of the Stone Annihilation Alliance quickly cleaned up the battlefield and collected the corpses of their companions before sending them to the crematorium.
The injured followed the fleet of cars to head in another direction.
Su Jingxing saw this and left the mountain. He came to the crossroads to extract cards.
Especially that from Shi Yankang. The moment he extracted the card, he read the information.
After confirming that it was a Bloodline Card, he put it into his palm space.
Then, he used his lightness skill to chase after the fleet where the injured members of the Stone Annihilation Alliance were with. He followed behind them at a distance.
The fleet headed straight to the north of the city, entered the factory area in the suburbs, and drove into an underground warehouse.
Su Jingxing pushed his speed to the fastest and followed closely behind the cars. He flashed past the entrance and entered the spacious and bright underground space.
The fleet came to a stop. There were already people waiting, pulling the carts and sending all the injured to treatment.
An oval-faced woman took off her hood and met the others. She asked seriously, "How was it? Did you tell that person about the ambush? Tell him that we have already killed Shi Yankang!"
"I already sent a message, but the Legend didn't reply." Responding to her was a round-faced girl.
"That expert should still be at the scene, right?" A youth with messy hair scratched his head and said, "If he really came to watch."
"I'm just afraid he didn't." A youth with a buzz-cut sighed at the side.
"Qianqian, did you guys notice anything abnormal with the surroundings before the ambush?" A middle-aged woman wearing glasses pushed her glasses up her nose and asked.
"No." The girl with the oval face shook her head. "We arrived half an hour earlier to ambush them. We didn't find anything."
"In that case, that person didn't go at all? He lied to us?"
A man in his thirties, who was missing an ear, became agitated. He waved his hands and shouted, "He's lying to us! He wants us to kill Shi Yankang. Now that Shi Yankang is dead, more than 20 of us have also died. Even Elder Huang is seriously injured, yet he's not even showing his face. What is this? What is this!"
"Enough, Gan Jichang!"
A shout of rebuke rang out, and a middle-aged man with a scar on his face frowned. "Regardless of whether that person went or not, killing Shi Yankang this time is a huge victory for us."
"Yes, our alliance is called Stone Annihilation. Before this, we have not killed a single member of the Shi Family. We can finally call ourselves an actual alliance this time." The messy-haired young man grinned.
"Yes, we have. But the price is too high." The bespectacled middle-aged woman sighed lightly.
"There is a price for everything we do. Killing Shi Yankang this time is just the beginning. Next, we will continue to have operations and more people will die," the oval-faced woman said seriously. "What I'm most afraid of is not death, but becoming useless with death!"
"Then… then… What about that person?" The man called Gan Jichang opened his mouth and gritted his teeth. "Wasn't that person asking for a proof of allegiance? Now that we've fulfilled it, he's not showing himself. What's going on? Are we going to continue communicating online? He'll be commanding from behind while we charge ahead?"
"You…"
"What do you want?" Su Jingxing's calm voice sounded, interrupting the oval-faced woman who wanted to speak.
The latter's body stiffened, and the middle-aged man with the scar on his face also trembled.
The others didn't notice anything. They just felt that Gan Jichang was being a little too angry.
"Jichang, that's enough." The messy-haired young man frowned.
"It's not a matter of whether it's enough or not. It's that that person has a clear disregard of us. He has been looking down on us all this time!"
Gan Jichang waved his hands and shouted agitatedly, "I admit that he's very powerful. He can destroy a secret base of the Shi Family by himself and even use the Internet to suppress the Shi Family, leaving them trapped in public opinion and unable to extricate themselves. But this doesn't mean that he can disregard us!
"This time, with just one sentence from him, we have sacrificed the lives of more than 20 people. What about next time? How many people will die next time? Now that Shi Yankang is dead, the Shi Family will definitely go crazy. Every one of us will suffer the Shi Family's revenge subsequently!
"Yet he's hiding in the dark and won't even show himself. On what basis? Ah, on what basis? Just because he is in the fourth-grade?!
"Since it's a collaboration…"
"Enough." The oval-faced woman took a deep breath and interrupted with a low growl.
"It's not enough!"
Gan Jichang waved his hand and continued to yell, "Since it's a collaboration, then he should make his identity clear. This is the basic problem of attitude. Now our people have died, shouldn't he at least show his face?"
"Shut it." The middle-aged man with a scar on his face gritted his teeth.
"It's fine. Let him continue," Su Jingxing was still calm as he spoke.
There were always some people who couldn't read the situation clearly and couldn't be in the proper state of mind.
The sooner such a person was recognized, the less trouble they would have.
However, after speaking twice, the others finally reacted and turned to look at Su Jingxing who had appeared out of nowhere.
Wearing a cloak and a mask, his voice deliberately was changed as he stood in a corner against the wall and looked at them silently.
In that instant, everyone's hearts skipped a beat and their breathing stopped.
Gan Jichang's legs trembled uncontrollably.
He dared to complain in private, but he would never dare to do so in front of a fourth-grade expert.
Most importantly, when did Su Jingxing appear?
When did he come in?
If Su Jingxing hadn't spoken, no one would have noticed.
For a moment, the place fell into dead silence.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Continue."
Su Jingxing maintained his low and hoarse voice and said, "Continue, it's fine."
Thump!
Gan Jichang couldn't hold on any longer. His legs turned to jelly, and he collapsed to the ground. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out.
"S-Senior, um, he just has a loose tongue. He doesn't mean anything else."
The messy-haired young man swallowed his saliva and laughed dryly. Then, without waiting for Su Jingxing's reply, he said excitedly, "Oh right, Senior, your IT skills are amazing. You're like a god. Oh, no, on the Internet, you're a god!"
"Yes, yes. Senior, do you want something to drink? We have everything here. Do you want to go sit over there?" The oval-faced woman also helped to change the topic, though her excuse was a terrible one.
Su Jingxing did not respond.
He glanced at the two of them, and then at Gan Jichang. As he stared, he walked towards him.
"Senior…"
The oval-faced woman opened her mouth, wanting to stop him.
Swoosh!
In a flash, Su Jingxing covered a dozen meters and arrived in front of Gan Jichang.
Then, he reached out, grabbed and lifted him up.
"No!"

Chapter 111: A Great Grievance
"Senior, hold on!"
"Jichang, hurry up and apologize!"
"…"
The group panicked, crying out, shouting and begging for mercy.
Su Jingxing ignored them all. He held Gan Jichang in one hand and pulled a button off his collar with the other.
He fiddled with it in his hand and sized it up before tossing it to the oval-faced woman behind him.
Gan Jichang, who was in his other hand, was thrown back to the ground and ignored.
After the oval-faced woman caught the button and checked it, her expression turned extremely grim.
The others saw this and closed their mouths.
No matter how stupid they were, they understood that Su Jingxing wasn't looking for trouble with Gan Jichang, but had discovered that there was something wrong with him.
"Sister… Sister Qian?" The round-faced girl urged.
"It's a camera." The oval-faced woman took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "And a tapping device."
"F*ck!"
"Kill him!"
"Gan Jichang, I'll kill you!"
"…"
Everyone's eyes turned red.
A few men rushed over and surrounded Gan Jichang, punching and kicking him.
"Ah!"
Gan Jichang screamed in pain. He hugged his head and rolled on the ground.
As he rolled, he shouted, "I didn't betray the alliance, I'm not a traitor!"
"How dare you continue to speak!"
"Kill him!"
When the people who were kicking and beating him heard this, they became even more furious and used even more strength.
With two cracks, they broke Gan Jichang's arms and legs.
"Ah!"
Gan Jichang howled in pain and his voice became hoarse. "I'm really not a traitor! The people behind the camera aren't the Shi Family, it's the Li Family! I just want to have a route of retreat. Is there anything wrong with that? The Li Family have said that if our plan fails, they can protect us! I found a way out for everyone. Was that wrong?!"
In the end, Gan Jichang's face was filled with grief and indignance, as if he had suffered a great grievance.
Su Jingxing was speechless.
This guy was either mad or brainwashed by the Li Family.
No matter what it was, it was fortunate that he had discovered it early.
Earlier, when Su Jingxing had appeared in front of Gan Jichang and the others, he had immediately sensed that someone was spying on them.
After his soul power had increased, his intuition had become sharper.
At first, Su Jingxing had thought that the cameras in the corners had locked onto him.
However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the feeling was not only from the corner, but also the crowd.
That was strange.
They were already face to face, so why was there a need to spy?
As a result, when he probed deeper, he discovered that the spying sensation came from Gan Jichang.
Combined with Gan Jichang's shouts, Su Jingxing walked towards him. As expected, when he moved closer, he found his target.
A disguised button camera!
Oh, and the tapping device.
With Gan Jichang's cooperation, it was unknown how long the Stone Annihilation Alliance had been monitored by the Li Family.
This was also the reason why the oval-faced woman and company were furious after they realized what he had done.
Not only was there a traitor among them, this traitor was also constantly helping others to keep watch on them.
At the thought their every move was being watched and listened to by the Li Family each time Gan Jichang appeared, the oval-faced woman and company could not help but feel their scalps tingle and their backs turn cold.
"I'm sorry, Senior!"
The oval-faced woman was the first to regain her composure. As she crushed the button, she bowed to Su Jingxing and said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior, for helping us find the traitor."
"Thank you, Senior!"
The others followed closely behind, bowing and thanking him in unison.
"Is there any place that he doesn't know?" Su Jingxing asked coolly.
Even though he did not mention names, everyone knew who he was referring to.
"Yes!"
The oval-faced woman stood up and took a deep breath. "Senior, please follow me."
Then, she led the way in front and rushed towards the main entrance.
Su Jingxing followed in silence.
"Quick, quick! We can't stay here any longer. Everyone, retreat immediately!"
"Cripple this fellow! F*ck, I treated him as a brother in vain!"
"Fortunately, Senior discovered him in time. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know when we would be wiped out."
"Yeah."
"…"
All kinds of shouts came from behind.
Su Jingxing listened to them and shook his head slightly.
The Stone Annihilation Alliance was called an alliance, but its sense of organization was not very strict.
It was fine for ordinary people and martial artists to move together, but the division of labor also seemed to be unclear.
That was laughable.
It would be a miracle that their self-examination was strict if the division of labor was not clear.
If it weren't for the fact that the following plan required a lot of manpower, Su Jingxing really didn't want to work with them.
…
Without saying a word, he followed the oval-faced woman out of the underground warehouse and took a car to the university town.
They stopped in the backyard of a bar on the corner of the university town. After that, they made several turns in an alley and entered a secluded small courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, they passed through a secret passage and arrived in a spacious room that was completely sealed.
"Senior, please take a seat first. The others will be here soon. Oh yes, my name is Shen Qian."
The oval-faced woman smiled at Su Jingxing and then walked towards the small room on the right side of the office to get the tea set.
Su Jingxing scanned the entire room and activated his secret ability, Advanced Hearing, to listen to the movements within a range of hundred meters.
Indeed, the surroundings of this secret room were very quiet.
"Senior, please have some tea."
Shen Qian brought the tea out and placed it on a table beside Su Jingxing.
Then, she rubbed her hands and stood aside, not knowing what to say.
"How many martial artists do you have?"
Su Jingxing asked in a low voice.
Shen Qian heaved a sigh of relief and replied, "We have 47 martial artists. Among them, one is in sixth-grade, five are in seventh-grade, 12 are in eighth-grade, and the rest are in ninth-grade."
Without waiting for Su Jingxing to probe further, she continued, "Although there aren't many martial artists, the rest of us can still play a significant role. Surveillance, spying, infiltration, entering the Shi Family's business, following beside the Shi Family descendants. Also, designing weapons and explosives, doctors, teachers, promoters, and more. Our people are present in all the industries."
"Good."
Su Jingxing was as calm as ever.
It was good to have many people. With the plan that he wanted to execute, the more people participating, the better.
"…"
Shen Qian opened her mouth but did not dare to ask the question.
Su Jingxing didn't want to speak, so she could only shut up.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long before the other core members of the Stone Annihilation Alliance arrived.
"This is Xiao Chengyue."
Shen Qian pointed at the young man with messy hair and introduced.
"This is Jiang Tianhao."
Shen Qian pointed at the middle-aged man with a scar on his face.
"This is Zhang Jun." The man with the beard.
"This is Mao Xiaomao. The round-faced girl.
"This is Yang Sijing." The bespectacled middle-aged woman.
…
Shen Qian introduced them one by one. Finally, she pointed at a young man with long hair with a long sword on his back. His expression was aloof.
"This is Ye Jiuchong."
After the introductions of more than 40 people were done, Shen Qian looked at Su Jingxing. "Other than the injured Elder Huang, Huang Ya, as well as the other dozen who have gone overseas, all the martial artists in the alliance are here!"
Su Jingxing nodded. He glanced at everyone and spoke calmly.
"I know everyone is curious about what the next step is.
"I'm not going to waste my breath.
"Duel!"

Chapter 112: Duel
Duel?
What does that mean?
Everyone stared at one another.
However, they did not dare to ask any questions and remained silent.
Su Jingxing saw this and went straight to the point. "I wonder if any of you have heard of the Lin Family?"
Silence.
Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao, and Xiao Chengyue and the others were still dumbfounded.
"Are you referring to the Lin Family from 30 years ago?"
Zhang Jun touched his chin and asked.
"Yes."
Su Jingxing looked at him and said calmly, "30 years ago, the biggest faction in the Western District was not the Shi Family, but the Lin Family!
"Although the Lin Family was not as powerful and domineering as the Shi Family today, they still dominated the Western District for many years. However, they disappeared overnight. Do you know the reason?"
"This…" Zhang Jun touched his chin and fell into deep thought." I've heard of the Lin Family. They were very powerful back then, but I really don't have any impression of how they disappeared…"
"I know!"
Jiang Tianhao raised his hand and his eyes lit up. "I remember now. That's right. 30 years ago, the Lin Family didn't disappear suddenly. They were killed by the Shi Family!"
What?
The rest were shocked.
"Brother Tianhao, give us more details. What exactly happened?"
"That's right, that's right. Wasn't the Lin Family the biggest faction back then? How did they get wiped out by the Shi Family?"
"…"
Everyone was puzzled and asked.
Jiang Tianhao didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Su Jingxing.
Su Jingxing gestured for him to explain.
Only then did Jiang Tianhao let out a breath. Taking a deep breath, he said seriously, "The Lin Family wasn't exterminated. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties during a duel with the Shi Family. There was no way for them to continue subsequently, so they disappeared overnight.
"In fact, there should still be people from the Lin Family who are alive. However, if nothing else had happened, they probably are doing worse than ordinary people.
"Without the protection of the family clan, it's unknown how many people are still alive.
"As for the duel, the full name is called family clan duel.
"It's just like a battle between martial artists. If they are unable to resolve the conflict between them, they have no choice but to enter the arena and engage in a fight of life and death."
"The family clan duel is the same. However, it is crueler. It is a large-scale fight to the death that can only be held between two family clans.
"The Commander of City Governance of the Martial Suppression Office will personally act as the referee. Each family will send out one person to fight in the arena. Those who die will lie down. Those who are still alive can leave, or they can continue to challenge the next person. There is no limit to how many matches they can continuously participate in. In any case, a total of 100 matches will have to be completed.
"In other words, the two families that are involved have to submit a hundred names before the start of the duel. For these 100 people, 70 have to be descendants while there are no rules for guest elders and Guardians.
"In short, in the end, no matter who wins or loses, there will be heavy casualties.
"But for some reason, when the Lin Family fought with the Shi Family back then. The Lin Family was wiped out and disappeared overnight. The Shi Family did not suffer a huge loss. Instead, they used this opportunity to devour most of the Lin family's businesses and replace them to become the overlord of the Western District!
After Jiang Tianhao finished speaking, he revealed some shock in his expression.
Needless to say, the others had their mouths agape in astonishment.
It turned out that the Shi Family's dominance of the Western District had come from a duel.
A family clan duel, 100 battles to the death.
Just how great of a grudge and grievance did they have to go through with that?
Suddenly.
Shen Qian thought of something and looked up at Su Jingxing in shock. She stuttered, "S-Senior, you… you're thinking of…"
"That's right," Su Jingxing interrupted. "A duel!"
"Back then, the Shi Family defeated the Lin Family and took their place.
"Then we can also use a duel to exterminate the Shi Family. At the very least, we can make them suffer heavy casualties and crush their foundation."
"But…"
"You want to say that we are an alliance, not a family clan, so the Martial Suppression Office won't entertain us, right?" Su Jingxing interrupted again.
Shen Qian, Mao Xiaomao, Xiao Chengyue, and the others nodded hard.
"That's simple," Su Jingxing said calmly. "I know where the remaining members of the Lin Family are. If we find them and you pick 70 people to join the Lin Family, the problem will be solved."
"Huh?"
Xiao Chengyue was stunned. He stuttered, "S-senior, are you saying that we have to change our surname to Lin?"
"Is there a problem?" Su Jingxing remained indifferent. "In order to destroy the Shi Family, you're not even afraid of death. Are you not even willing to change your surname?"
Shen Qian, Xiao Chengyue, and Jiang Tianhao were speechless.
The others watched in silence.
That's right, if we aren't even afraid of death, what is changing our surname?!
At this thought, Xiao Chengyue's expression turned serious and he was about to agree.
"Wait."
Zhang Jun suddenly said, "Changing our surnames and becoming a member of the Lin Family isn't a problem. But, even if we change our surnames and step into the arena, how many people from the Shi Family can we kill?"
"That's right." Xiao Chengyue suddenly realized this. He shook his head and said, "We're not afraid of death, but we know how strong we are. If we go up one by one and against members of the Shi Family, 90% of us will be killed by them. In the end, the Shi Family will still exist, and our deaths won't be of any use."
"Who's asking you people to kill?" Su Jingxing replied coolly.
"Um…"
Zhang Jun, Xiao Chengyue, Shen Qian, and Jiang Tianhao were confused.
"Senior, are you saying that you'll fight and defeat everyone alone?"
In the corner, Ye Jiuchong, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Everyone turned to look at him.
Then, they quickly turned back and looked at Su Jingxing in shock.
A single person to fight and defeat all the opponents?
Tss!
Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air when they thought of that scene.
"That's right."
Su Jingxing took a look at Ye Jiuchong and said indifferently, "I'll be the one to kill the Shi Family. All of you are only responsible for stalling for time."
This…
Although it was quite a blow and also seemed rather cruel, they had to admit that their purpose of going on was indeed to stall for time so that Su Jingxing could get a break.
This was what Su Jingxing had planned from the start.
Su Jingxing didn't have this plan before, but after the Stone Annihilation Alliance contacted and revealed that they had many people,
Su Jingxing then suddenly thought of such an opportunity to openly eliminate the Shi Family.
The Shi Family had a hundred years of legacy. It was too difficult for one person to destroy it alone.
Whether it was a sneak attack or an assassination, there would always be flaws.
However, the family clan duel that had been passed down since ancient times was a very good method.
This was an open conspiracy!
Even if the Shi Family was aware, they had no choice but to accept the challenge.
Once the application was made, if the other family clan refused to fight, not only would they become a laughing stock they would also be looked down upon and viewed with hostility by everyone else. Others would join hands to suppress them.
Morale, backbone, these things could not be seen or touched, but they really existed.
Without these two, a clan would soon be devoured and eradicated.
Of course, the application for the duel was not that simple either!

"So, are you willing to participate in the plan?"
Su Jingxing said, "As you've said, most of the people in your alliance are facing the threat of death. At this time, the earlier the application for the duel is approved, the smaller the threat. I can wait, but you people don't have much time left."
"I'm willing!"
Shen Qian was the first to step out and raise her hand in agreement.
"Me too," Xiao Chengyue followed and raised his hand.
"Me too."
"And me!"
"…"
Without much hesitation, they stood up one after another.
Su Jingxing had already taken on the biggest part, so what were they afraid of?
In a family clan duel, every match was one-on-one.
If they do die on stage, at least they would have gotten some rest time for Su Jingxing.
But if they do end up killing a person by risking themselves, it would be a huge gain.
In the arena, anything could be used.
Hidden weapons, poisonous gas, self-destruction… As long as one could kill his opponent, he could do anything.
Under such circumstances, there was no reason for them to give up this opportunity that hadn't come by easily to take revenge openly!
Su Jingxing was satisfied.
"Select the people that will be joining the Lin family first and wait for my notice."
"Okay, Senior. This is my contact number." Shen Qian stepped forward slightly and handed over a note.
Su Jingxing released his true energy and drew the note to him from a distance.
He took a glance and tossed it back to Shen Qian.
Following which, he turned around and vanished on the spot.
…
Dawn.
On a long street that was adjacent to the main road in the Western District of Qinghe City.
Creak. Creak.
The subtle sound of tires rubbing against the ground rang out, waking up the streets that saw few pedestrians this morning.
In the cold, wet wind, the truck, loaded with garbage, stopped in front of a garbage bin. From the driver's seat, a hunch-backed, gray-haired old man with a face full of wrinkles alighted.
The old man, wearing a mask, opened the trash can with practiced ease. He used tongs and shovels to transfer the trash in the bin into the truck.
The foul odor unique to garbage mixed into the morning breeze.
"Lin Tuotian."
Suddenly, a low and slightly hoarse voice sounded.
Su Jingxing, who was still wearing a cloak and a mask, stood out of the wind and stared at the old man who was emptying the garbage. He spoke calmly.
"Lin Tuotian, do you want revenge?"
The old man did not react. It was as if he was deaf as he busied himself with his work.
Su Jingxing didn't mind and continued talking to himself.
"A few days ago, I just destroyed a secret base of the Shi Family outside the city and rescued more than a hundred girls.
"After I came back, I exposed this matter through the Internet and attracted the attention of the entire city.
"Although there was no concrete evidence, there has been a lot of commotion in real life and on the Internet for the past few days. Everyone in the city is discussing whether it was the Shi Family's doing.
"And the effect was not bad. It drew out the Stone Annihilation Alliance that was secretly formed because of the Shi Family's persecution over the years. They all wanted to destroy the Shi Family, but they could not find an opportunity.
"Due to certain reasons, I also wanted the Shi Family members to die. Therefore, I reached an agreement with them to apply for a duel."
The moment the word "duel" was spoken, the old man who had not reacted all this while suddenly froze in his movements, and his hunched body trembled slightly.
Although he quickly returned to normal, Su Jingxing, who was always paying attention to him the whole time, didn't miss it.
Lin Tuotian, the final survivor of the Lin Family. The family that had dominated the Western District 30 years ago but disappeared overnight due to a duel with the Shi Family.
When the Lin Family was still around, Lin Tuotian was the youngest son of the patriarch.
With his actual age, he was 45 years old this year.
However, at this moment, Lin Tuotian, who was emptying the trash, could be said to be 75 years old.
The reason was because the Shi Family had never let him off.
Of course, Lin Tuotian hadn't come into contact with people at Shi Jinnian's level yet.
The ones who had been humiliating and suppressing him were the subordinates of the Shi Family.
Shi Yankang was the overall in-charge, while the people executing his orders changed batch after batch.
Wan Rong, Su Jingxing's previous enemy, was lucky enough to have had his turn once!
That's right.
Su Jingxing knew about family clan duels, the Lin Family, and Lin Tuotian because he had gone through Wan Rong's memories.
This former enemy, though dead, was still helpful to Su Jingxing.
Starting a duel against the Shi Family required a hundred names.
And also a legitimate motive.
Getting Lin Tuotian to join them and applying in the name of taking revenge for the Lin Family was the best excuse!
As long as the plan went well,
Lin Tuotian and the people from the Stone Annihilation Alliance would have fulfilled their wishes for revenge.
Su Jingxing would obtain a large amount of Three Yin Candles Blood to feed Thunderbolt.
And those who were oppressed by the Shi Family would be freed.
Those girls born during a Yin hour of a Yin day of a Yin month of a Yin year who had been used as provisions by the Shi Family for so many years and had blood from their hearts dug out could also rest in peace!
In fact, the Li Family, who was monitoring the Stone Annihilation Alliance from behind the scenes, could also seize the opportunity to annex the Shi Family's businesses.
Although the Li Family was the top martial arts family in Qinghe City, over the years, the Shi Family had been strengthening themselves. On the surface, they were competing with the Li Family, but in secret, they were nurturing various subordinate forces and large batches of sacrificial soldiers.
At this rate, the Shi Family would surpass the Li Family in ten years at most.
Hence, the Li Family would be happy to see the Shi Family destroyed.
When Su Jingxing took action, not only would the Li Family not stop him, instead they would also aid him in secret.
It could be said that once the Shi Family was destroyed, it would be a win for many parties.
So.
After he had settled the Stone Annihilation Alliance, Su Jingxing quickly found Lin Tuotian.
"Family clans are the units in duels.
"We have the people, the money and the strength. All we lack is the final act of righteousness.
"Lin Tuotian, if you're willing to work with us, we can take this opportunity.
"With the aid of your identity, we can save a lot of trouble.
"If you don't wish to, then don't force it. The number of small family clans that have been wiped out by the Shi Family over the years aren't in the minority either."
Su Jingxing finished his narration calmly. "We're in a hurry. Five minutes later, if you still haven't decided…"
"I want Shi Yankang to die!"
A hoarse and sharp voice that sounded like a crow's cry suddenly rang out.
After clearing the trash, Lin Tuotian suddenly lifted his head, straightened his back, and clenched his fists, his eyes shining with hatred.
"After you've killed Shi Yankang, I will work with you people!"
"Shi Yankang?" Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "He just died this morning."
"Heh!"
Lin Tuotian let out a cold harrumph, lowered his head, and bent down to move the trash.
"You don't believe me?"
Su Jingxing took out his phone and dialed Shen Qian's number.
After the call was connected, he didn't say anything else and directly got Shen Qian to send the video of them killing Shi Yankang in the wee hours to him.
This was the Stone Annihilation Alliance's proof of allegiance, especially the killing of Shi Yankang.
The process of the interception and kill was recorded from the start through the cameras at the crossroads.
Su Jingxing had known that Shen Qian and the rest would do this before he took action.
Hence, it was easy to get the recording.
Su Jingxing opened the video and showed it to Lin Tuotian.
A few minutes later.
"Hahaha!"
Lin Tuotian burst into loud laughter, as if he had gone mad.
"Good, good, good, a deserved death!
"I agree to cooperate with you!"

Chapter 114: Alarming Half The City

With Lin Tuotian agreeing, the plan moved one step further.
Next was the transfer of the family registers.
Su Jingxing called Shen Qian again and asked her to bring the 70 people who were changing their names to the Household Registration Office of the Western District Public Security Center.
On the other side, Lin Tuotian threw away the tongs, shovels, and kicked over the garbage truck before heading to the nearest bathhouse. He took shower before heading to the hair salon to do his hair.
Then, he knocked on the door, forcefully opened a clothing store, and bought a new set of clothes.
From inside out, head to toe, he had a 180-degree transformation.
When he stood in front of Su Jingxing again, he was a completely different person.
Apart from the wrinkles on his face and his white hair, he seemed to have regained all his energy.
From a sanitation worker who was bullied every day, he instantly turned back to the young master of a martial arts family.
On the contrary, Su Jingxing seemed like a bodyguard.
Su Jingxing was happy to see this happen.
Lin Tuotian's appearance would be even more convincing. He was prepared to declare war on the Shi Family.
A revenge battle that was 30 years late!
…
The first course of action in this battle was to head to the Household Registration Office of the Western District Public Security Center.
They met up with Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao and the rest.
As soon as the office opened, the 70 people who were changing their names followed Lin Tuotian and completed the transfer of the family registers. In front of each person's name, the word "Lin" was added.
Early in the morning, all 70 people changed their surname to Lin.
Everyone in the Household Registration Office had a strange look on their faces but they did not say anything.
Since these people were willing, and they were being charged the usual fees, they couldn't care less about the reason behind this.
The transfer was completed.
Next, the large group headed for the Martial Suppression Office.
Not the branch in the Western District, but the headquarters in the Central District.
More than 70 people arrived, they arrived in 20 odd cars. It was a majestic sight as they drove through the city and arrived at the Martial Suppression Office's headquarters building.
The cars stopped at the side of the road and formed a long line.
The group of people got off and remained silent the entire time. They surrounded Lin Tuotian and followed Su Jingxing into the Martial Suppression Office.
Lin Tuotian was the patriarch of the Lin Family, so it was naturally up to him to apply for a duel.
The group surrounded him as they walked quickly through the main hall of the Martial Suppression Office.
The guards on the first floor noticed this and quickly followed behind.
When Lin Tuotian was asking to applyAel at the Department of Arenas, the ordinary staff member responsible for receiving him was completely confused.
"Duel? Family clan duel? Is there such a form of arena fighting?"
Lin Tuotian smiled. "Of course. If you don't know, you can ask your superiors."
"Alright, please wait for a moment." When the female employee heard this, she didn't think too much and picked up the phone to call her superior.
After the call went through, she reported the situation, "…Yes, it's an application from an old man with the surname Lin. He said that it's a family clan duel… Ah, is that so? Alright, I understand."
After that, she hung up the call and looked at Lin Tuotian apologetically.
"I'm sorry, my superior said that the tradition of family clan duels was abolished ten years ago. I'm sorry, your application cannot be approved."
Swoosh!
Lin Tuotian's expression instantly turned somber.
The members of the Stone Annihilation Alliance who were standing behind him also stirred when they heard this.
"Miss, are you sure?"
Shen Qian took a few steps forward and asked the female employee, "Why don't you ask again?"
"This… abolition is abolition. No matter how many times I ask, it's the same answer." The female staff looked apologetic.
"Impossible." Lin Tuotian took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "This tradition has been passed down since ancient times. It can't be abolished!"
"But…"
"That's enough." Su Jingxing raised his hand to interrupt and said calmly, "This has nothing to do with you. And you people don't have to make things difficult for her."
Su Jingxing looked at Lin Tuotian, Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao and the rest.
"The problem is, the application cannot be approved. What should we do next?" Xiao Chengyue asked anxiously.
"I know."
Su Jingxing looked around and scanned the crowd of onlookers on the outside. He said indifferently, "I knew from the very beginning that challenging the Shi Family would be that simple."
"Are you saying that this was the doing of the Shi Family?" Lin Tuotian's eyes widened, turning red.
"Who else could it be?" Su Jingxing retracted his gaze and calmly said, "The Shi Family has planted countless people in the Martial Suppression Office. How could they let our application get approved so easily?"
The female staff was dumbfounded as she sat in her seat, not knowing what to do.
The crowd that was watching the commotion from the outside was also in an uproar.
"Quiet, quiet." Seeing this, the guards quickly moved around to placate them.
"What a Shi Family!" Xiao Chengyue said through clenched teeth.
Lin Tuotian didn't say anything, but his eyes shone with killing intent.
"It doesn't matter." Su Jingxing continued to speak calmly. "The Shi family thinks that they can stop us with just this. I can only say that they're expecting too much. Coincidentally, we'll need the Commander of City Governance to personally be the judge for a family clan duel."
"Everyone, cover your ears and open your mouths wide."
Su Jingxing glanced at Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao, Xiao Chengyue and company.
Hmm?
They were stunned. In the next moment, they immediately followed his instructions.
Lin Tuotian also covered his ears and opened his mouth wide.
The dumbfounded female employee suddenly snapped back to her senses and followed suit.
The people on the outside saw this and were stunned. At the same time, they wanted to laugh out loud.
But at that moment——
"Li! Lin! Zhou! Get! Out! Here!"
"Here~~~~~"
The last word "here" was dragged out and spread in the air, covering the entire Central District.
The three words "Li Linzhou" instantly echoed in the ears of everyone in the Central District.
The use of secret ability——High-frequency Sound Wave.
Su Jingxing's mastery of this unique skill that he picked up from Tang Wulin was only at the introductory stage.
For the time being, he was unable to use it to attack.
But it was not difficult to use it as a loudspeaker.
With the infusion of true energy, everyone in the Central District heard Su Jingxing's deliberately lowered call.
The source of it was the main hall on the first floor of the Martial Suppression Office. The vibration frequency was the highest.
Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao, and the rest covered their ears and opened their mouths wide. Faced with this shout, they still felt dizzy.
Those who did not cover their ears started bleeding from the ears on the spot. Their heads were hurting and they were screaming miserably.
The glass wall of the nearby building was full of cracks.
A long roar shook half the city!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
In less than half a minute after the shout, a few figures flew into the hall like lightning from outside the entrance.
"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble here?"
The one who spoke was a man in his forties who carried a long sword on his back. As soon as he appeared, his sharp gaze locked onto Su Jingxing. As he walked, he said in a deep voice, "You should be aware of the consequences of causing trouble in the Martial Suppression Office."
"I honestly don't."
Su Jingxing maintained his low voice. "I only know that we came to the Martial Suppression Office in accordance with usual practices to apply for a duel, but your people deliberately refused to approve it!"
Hmm?
The man frowned and turned to look at the female employee who seemed a little dizzy.
The latter shuddered and came back to her senses, explaining hurriedly.
"They… they came to apply for the family clan duel, but… but when I reported it to my superior, the answer I received was… that this practice has been abolished."
"Says who?" A gentle voice sounded.
"Commander?"

Chapter 115: Li Linzhou Lost?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Greetings, Commander!"
"Greetings, Commander!"
"…"
The group of men with long swords on their backs heard the voice and turned to look behind them. They recognized the person and hurriedly greeted him.
"He is Li Linzhou?" Standing beside Su Jingxing, Lin Tuotian asked in a low voice.
"That's him." Su Jingxing replied coolly.
He looked at Li Linzhou, who was walking towards the entrance step by step. He took a few steps forward and said, "Commander Li, I'm sorry to have invited you over in this way. We had no choice but to do this."
Li Linzhou did not say anything. He merely stared at Su Jingxing aloofly.
Su Jingxing made eye contact with him without blinking.
What were the specific characteristics of a fourth-grade martial artist?
When true energy produces liquid, true fluid nourishes the mind and Martial Art True Intent is present.
These could not be reflected externally.
In order to determine whether a martial artist was in the fourth-grade or not, the best way was to test their true energy cultivation.
See whether the true energy fluctuations released externally had reached 60 years.
Of course, it didn't mean that a martial artist with 60 years of true energy cultivation would necessarily be a fourth-grade.
Instead, the true energy cultivation of a fourth-grade martial artist would at least be around 60 years.
At the very least, it would be 55 years. If one did not have sufficient true energy one would not be able to produce liquid.
Su Jingxing's true energy cultivation was 72 years. He did not have any true fluid because he wanted to build a deeper foundation.
Even though the internal tempering had just begun, the fluctuations on the outside were even stronger than ordinary fourth-grade martial artists.
He was confident and fearless. Naturally, he was not at a disadvantage when in this competition of auras.
Under everyone's gaze, the two looked at each other.
In the end, Li Linzhou retracted his gaze and questioned coolly, "Who said that the family clan duels have been abolished?"
"It was… Ma… Manager Zheng."
The female employee trembled as she answered.
"Manager Zheng?"
"It should be Zheng Aoshan," the man carrying the long sword said.
"Zheng Aoshan? He's sent by the Shi Family?" Li Linzhou muttered to himself and nodded in understanding. "Fire him immediately."
"Yes!"
The man with the long sword on his back responded in a deep voice and immediately took two steps back.
"Have you all fulfilled the requirements to apply for a family clan duel?"
Li Linzhou turned to look at Lin Tuotian and company.
"Yes," Lin Tuotian said, looking at Su Jingxing. "We're just one step away. We still need Commander Li to do the examination"
"Commander Li, where are we going to do that?" Su Jingxing looked around the hall. "Here or outside?"
"Outside of course."
Li Linzhou turned around and walked towards the entrance.
Su Jingxing followed slowly.
Seeing this, the others also followed behind.
Going outside for an examination?
Of what?
Those who knew were excited, while those who didn't were confused.
A large group of people followed Li Linzhou and Su Jingxing to the small square in front of the Martial Suppression Office headquarters building.
Those watching stood on the steps.
Su Jingxing and Li Linzhou stood on each side with a distance of 40 to 50 meters between them.
"Ready?"
Su Jingxing spoke in a low voice while Li Linzhou remained calm.
Seeing this, Su Jingxing did not waste any more time talking. He instantly mobilized 65 years of his true energy cultivation and gathered them in his hands. Following the path of the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist, he suddenly punched out in the air.
Boom!
It was like an explosion of thunder and lightning that resounded through the entire square and the long street.
A silvery-black punch imprint appeared out of thin air. It carried a terrifying aura and created a tornado that swept towards Li Linzhou.
Astral winds howled as energies spiraled.
The silvery-black fist imprint continued to amplify while on its way.
In the end, it produced a force of 450,000 catties and blew up the air inch by inch. The entire way was filled with dull explosions as it arrived in front of Li Linzhou.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Sword energy swirled around Li Linzhou's body and danced in the air. In an instant, it formed a huge disc that blocked the fist imprint.
Boom!
An earth-shattering boom erupted.
The silvery-black fist imprint and the disc of sword energy collided and dissolved each other.
With this burst of energy, a large amount of dust rose and covered the entire small square.
When the disc of sword energy collapsed…
Bam!
An intense explosion spread throughout the entire street.
A substantial shock wave swept out in all directions from the small square. The impact sent the crowd tumbling to the ground. Cars parked along the street shook back and forth, their horns blaring.
When the dust settled, everyone looked towards the center.
Su Jingxing remained where he was.
But Li Linzhou's figure had retreated more than ten meters. The ground beneath his feet was cracked and countless cracks extended.
Lost?
Li Linzhou lost?
The confused crowd broke into an uproar.
The group of men with long swords on their backs stared at Su Jingxing in astonishment.
The others could not tell, but how could they not understand?
Li Linzhou had received Su Jingxing's punch. He did not lose, but neither did he win.
The most crucial step in the family clan duel was that among the participants, there had to be a fourth-grade martial artist!
And the examination of the standards of the fourth-grade martial artist was to be personally done by the Commander of City Governance.
Obviously, Su Jingxing had fulfilled this standard.
If he wasn't a fourth-grade, could he defeat Li Linzhou with a single punch?
Dream on!
Sure enough——
"Duel application approved."
Li Linzhou's gentle voice echoed in the small square.
"Understood."
The man with the long sword on his back replied.
With that, he turned around and walked into the main hall on the first floor to personally handle the procedures.
"Great!"
Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao, Xiao Chengyue and others cheered excitedly.
Succeeded!
Finally!
With the application approved, the Shi Family had no choice but to take the challenge.
Of course, in order to create an even bigger commotion, all the members of the Stone Annihilation Alliance started working.
On the Internet, they announced that the Lin Family had launched a revenge battle against the Shi Family after 30 years.
After the Martial Suppression Office officially announced the date and location of the duel, the television, radio, newspapers, and various other channels also quickly threw money in to keep up with the updates.
Thus, in just one morning, everyone in the city learned that a family clan that had been silent for 30 years had issued a challenge to the Shi Family who dominated the Western District.
A duel!
A duel where more than a hundred martial artists will carry out fights to the death.
Without a doubt, when this news was released, the entire city was shaken.
"Family clan duel? This is the first time I've heard of such a competition."
"Hehe, that's because you're ignorant and ill-informed. Family clan duels have existed since ancient times. Once begun, blood will flow like rivers and one family clan is bound to disappear. Of course, it's also possible that both sides will suffer great losses."
"I'm curious, where did this Lin Family pop out from? Why have I never heard of them before?"
"I'm in my forties and I've never heard of them, let alone you."
"To summarize, the Lin Family was the most powerful faction in the Western District 30 years ago. The Shi Family was no match for the Lin Family at that time. However, the Shi family used some tricks and killed most of the Lin Family members in a duel. That was how they disappeared."
"That's right. My grandfather said that the Lin Family was very powerful back then and had a good reputation, unlike the Shi Family, who had been doing all sorts of bad things all these years. The incident about the girls who were captured previously is definitely related to them."
"Haha, who cares whether it's the Lin Family or the Chen Family. In any case, this duel is going to be interesting."
"Heh, we do have something interesting to look forward to, but not necessarily so for the Shi Family. I reckon that they are fuming right now!"

Chapter 116: A Head Falls With One Strike
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Shi Family's residence.
Bang! Bang!
Pak!
Boom!
The sound of porcelain shattering, glass exploding, and heavy objects falling to the ground rang out from the residence of the Shi Family.
"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!"
"Damn old bastard! Damn old bastard!"
"We spared his life out of goodwill, but he actually dared to resist and take revenge!"
"I'll kill him! I'll drink his blood and eat his flesh!"
A hysterical roar resounded throughout the courtyard.
A stout man paced up and down the sides of the spacious hall, smashing things and roaring thunderously as he did so.
"Enough, Fifteen."
A middle-aged man with a somber expression shouted, "What's the use of shouting here? Can you make Li Linzhou cancel the duel?"
"Li Linzhou won't cancel the duel, but we can make sure that the people partaking in the duel won't see the sun tomorrow." A man with a cold gaze and a aquiline nose sneered.
"You wish to doom us all?"
Shi Jinnian glanced at him.
"Hmm? Three, what do you mean?"
When the man with the aquiline nose heard this, his gaze became increasingly cold. "Was it wrong of me to consider the family clan's interests? Doesn't that old b*stard Lin Tuotian want revenge? I'll go kill those minions he hired and see how he'll fight us!"
"Idiot"
A fat middle-aged man with a big head, big ears, and a bulging stomach gave him a disdainful look.
"Eighteen, what did you say!?" The gaze of the man with an aquiline nose was cold as he glared angrily at the fat middle aged man.
"I say, you're a pitiful idiot." The fat middle-aged man was not afraid at all. He stretched out his swollen finger and cursed, "You brainless fellow. You don't even know who the real enemy is, and you just fire randomly. You're hopeless!"
"You…"
"Enough!" Shi Jinnian rebuked in a deep voice and interrupted, "We're already in such a situation, and you're still arguing. Will you only stop when everyone is dead?"
"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly and did not continue. He only glared at the fat middle-aged man.
The latter shrugged and still looked at him with disdain.
"Eighteen is right."
Shi Jinnian didn't pay the two of them any attention. Instead, he looked around, saying in a deep voice, "In this duel, whether it is Lin Tuotian or the people from the Stone Annihilation Alliance, they are nothing to worry about. The true opponent is the person who linked them up!
"This fellow destroyed one of our bases and even exposed our secret. He silenced our attempt to divert attention on the Internet. I even suspect that he was the one being Yankang's death!
"Compared to the others, this hidden mastermind is the key.
"Find him and kill him! Only then can we remove the subsequent threats."
…
There was a moment of silence.
That was true, but the problem was the mastermind. They had been investigating for two days, but they could not find any clues.
It was as if he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. There was no trace of him before this.
Never mind that, yet the other party had been keeping an eye on them and constantly finding trouble with the Shi Family.
It seemed like he wouldn't stop until he destroyed the Shi Family.
It was clear that the other party had a huge grudge against the Shi Family.
Everyone present were one of their own. They knew what the Shi Family had been up to all these years.
In the past, they didn't think much of it and would investigate the target before doing anything.
Those who were powerful or had powerful backgrounds would not be touched.
It could be said that even though the Shi Family had been rampant all these years, they had remained cautious where they needed to.
It was due to their cautiousness that they had been safe all this while.
Who would have thought that they would end up being challenged by the very people they always subdued
A fourth-grade expert that appeared out of nowhere had forcefully pushed them to the forefront of the storm!
"Keep looking."
In the silence, Shi Jinnian broke it and said, "We have to be prepared for tomorrow's duel as well. Doesn't the Stone Annihilation Alliance wish to exterminate us? When we go on tomorrow, we must break their spirit first!"
"That's right. An alliance of several dozen martial artists also dares to dream of exterminating us. They simply don't know the meaning of death!"
"I'll be the first to go on stage tomorrow and kill them all!"
"…"
The others echoed.
Compared to that fourth-grade expert hidden behind the scenes, Lin Tuotian and the Stone Annihilation Alliance were nothing more than ants that could be easily crushed.
Only the mastermind had them wary.
Because of this, the Shi Family's forces were activated again, searching for the other party.
As the duel was happening the next day, time was tight.
The search area this time was even larger, it could be said to cover every inch of the city, all channels and routes were activated.
Unfortunately, after searching for an entire afternoon, they still did not find anything by night.
…
The people from the Shi Family had no idea.
After Su Jingxing settled Lin Tuotian down, he immediately rushed to the Green Cloud Mountain Range to find the big white goose to lead him to two other places where worldly energy was abundant.
He had taken leave for the next few days.
For the sake of the duel, Su Jingxing had calculated and planned everything.
The time that Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao, Xiao Chengyue, and the others could buy was limited.
If he wanted to defeat everyone, Su Jingxing had to rely on himself more.
Therefore, his 72 years of true energy cultivation was insufficient.
It had to be at least a hundred years!
A hundred years of cultivation, three True Energy Cards, together with the True Energy Card he extracts during the duel, should be enough for Su Jingxing to defeat everyone.
Of course, if Su Jingxing were to encounter a situation where he would certainly die, he would not force himself to hold on and would decisively retreat.
He was keeping a True Energy Card till the end. If he couldn't defeat the other party, he could just flee.
In order to prevent his true identity from being exposed, Su Jingxing had already gone to the black market to buy a specially-made human skin mask with better effects and disguised himself as Yang Jian again.
Su Jingxing would only go on stage when his route of retreat was ready.
The purpose of raising his true energy cultivation to a hundred years was to increase his chances of success.
Given the might of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven, Su Jingxing could continuously absorb worldly energy energy day and night, converting it into Heaven Trampling True Energy.
This was something that other martial artists could not achieve, dared not do, and could not do.
Every advanced internal exercise had its own unique characteristics.
The characteristic of Nine Steps Trampling Heaven was that it could be stacked infinitely.
With other internal exercise, martial artists could either absorb worldly energy for only half an hour or take ten days to half a month for conversion.
If the conversion speed was fast, the absorption speed was slow, and vice versa.
Or perhaps the martial artists' bodes would be unable to withstand a prolonged infusion of worldly energy.
After all, not everyone was Su Jingxing. His physical body had reached the limits of the human body.
All of these factors combined resulted in Su Jingxing being able to continuously absorb worldly energy for more than ten hours without stopping. This was also the reason why his true energy cultivation could be improved so quickly.
The last time, in the valley of the big white goose, he had absorbed worldly energy for more than half a day and added 50 odd years to his cultivation. his
This time, under the lead of the big white goose, they came to another place filled with worldly energy. Su Jingxing used one night to increase his cultivation by 30 years.
Together with what he already had, his true energy cultivation had reached 102 years.
A hundred years of cultivation, successfully achieved.
…
Without any delay, Su Jingxing, who had achieved his goal, swiftly returned to Qinghe City and went straight to the location of the duel.
Qinghe Number One Martial Arts Arena.
The entire arena was even larger than the Bird's Nest. It could accommodate 100,000 people at one time.
In the center of the arena was a two-meter tall, 100-meter wide alloy ring.
Around the ring, there was a special transparent barrier that was 60 meters tall and three layers tailored transparent barriers made of of bulletproof glass.
In a battle between martial artists in the middle ranks, if there were no precautionary measures and true energy was released externally, few ordinary people would be able to remain seated.
Qinghe Number One Martial Arts Arena did very well in this aspect.
Other than watching it live, a live broadcast of this duel would also be available on television channels and the Internet.
When Su Jingxing arrived, he just happened to hear Li Linzhou announce the start of the match and invite both sides to the ring.
On the Lin Family side, it was naturally Su Jingxing who had taken the position of a guest elder.
The Shi Family was represented by sixth-grade martial artist called Shi Jinyong.
Shi Jinyong was the most furious when the Lin Family forced the Shi Family into a duel.
Originally, he had planned to be the first to go on stage and kill the people of the Stone Annihilation Alliance until they were afraid and break their spirits.
Unexpectedly, in the first round, Su Jingxing, the fourth-grade expert who was wearing a cloak and a mask, had come on stage.
Shi Jinyong was flustered at once.
He was only in the sixth-grade. How could he be a match for a fourth-grade martial artist?
However, now that he was already on the stage, there was no other way except staying alive that would allow him to return.
Helpless, Shi Jin Yong could only try to recruit this expert.
"Senior, you can actually join…"
Swoosh!
The glint of a blade flashed, and a head fell.
Before Shi Jinyong could finish his sentence, he had gone to see his ancestors!

Chapter 117: What's The Use of Being Fast!?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He extracted a card.
Su Jingxing did not even glance at Shi Jinyong's headless body. He turned around and said coolly to Li Linzhou.
"Next."
Silence.
The entire arena fell into dead silence in this moment.
What speed!
Too fast!
Not a single one out of the hundred thousand people in the audience got a clear look of Su Jingxing drawing of his saber.
Especially Su Jingxing was ten meters away from Shi Jinyong.
Ten meters away, Su Jingxing chopped off Shi Jinyong's head with a single slash. What kind of saber technique was this? What realm was he in?
Silence.
The arena remained in silence for more than half a minute.
Whoosh!
Only then did a huge commotion break out in the huge arena, one wave louder than the previous, hitting the dome.
On the left and right sides of the arena, there was a large display screen that allowed the audience to see the movements of the martial artists in the ring.
But this time, they did not see anything. Everyone was shocked.
"Is this what it means to be in the fourth-grade? That's formidable?"
"It's not just formidable, it's simply inconceivable! That slash just now was too fast!"
"Haha, good job, good job! Everyone from the Shi Family deserves to die!"
"Tsk, the Shi Family is probably at a loss now. The Lin Family has sent a fourth-grade expert right from the start. Are they going to send a fourth-grade martial artist next?"
"That's for sure. Are they going to send a sixth-grade or seventh-grade instead? Even if they wish to tempt fate, this is not the way to do it!"
"…"
On the spectator stands, the crowd was excited, and discussions could be heard endlessly.
…
In the VIP seats.
The Li Family members listened to the heated discussion with bright smiles on their faces.
"Hehe, let's see how Shi Jinnian deals with this."
"That's right. The Lin Family, they sent their ace from the get go. The fourth-grade martial artist is the first to go on stage and killed Shi Jinyong with one strike. If the Shi Family doesn't fall in step, there's no need compete anymore. They will just be sending themselves to their doom."
"Truly ruthless. Lin Tuotian endured humiliation and borne a heavy load for 30 years. This time, he's clearly bent on killing the Shi Family before he can bring himself to face his ancestors again."
"…"
…
Wang Family's area.
The tall and burly Wang Tiedao was holding a fair-skinned and incomparably handsome man. She slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly, "Good, good, good! This brother is too handsome! I like him!"
"What's wrong, Brother Dao? Have you taken a fancy to someone else again?" The handsome man in her arms whined softly with a pout.

"Of course. Isn't it normal for women to like a man like him?"
Wang Tiedao had a yearning look on her face. She licked his lips and said, "When the duel is over, I will propose to him!"
"…"
…
Zhou Family's area.
"Ha, that old thing Shi Jinnian wanted to drag the Zhou Family down with him previously. Now look at this, the opponent has sent a fourth-grade expert from the start. Let's see how he deals with this!"
"What else can he do? Of course it'll be to send a fourth-grade martial artist too. They have roped in over many fourth-grades these few years."
"Are you serious? How come I didn't know that the Shi Family managed to win over several fourth-grades?"
"Isn't two several? Isn't three several?"
"…"
…
Qi Family's area.
"See, I said that it would be fun to watch it live. How is it? It was a good show from the start!"
"It's indeed a good show. But I'm more curious about where this masked fellow popped out from. The fourth-grade experts in Qinghe City are people that everyone knows. Where did he come from?"
"Is there a need to ask? Of course he's from another city. Or perhaps he used to be from Qinghe City but was persecuted by the Shi Family and forced to leave to another city. He only came back to take revenge on the Shi Family after he had rose to the fourth-grade."
"Hmm, your analysis is quite reasonable. It's a shame if you don't become an author!"
"Get lost!"
…
In the family clan waiting area on the left.
"Hahaha, good, good, good kill!"
Xiao Chengyue jumped up and cheered. "What fierce tigers of the Shi Family? His head was chopped off by the Legend with just one slash! Fierce my ass!"
"It's best if he can finish one with one strike for all the subsequent matches," Zhang Jun clapped his hands and said.
"It's not that simple." Jiang Tianhao said in a low voice, "This Shi Jinyong is only a sixth-grade martial artist. Given Senior's cultivation level and strength, he will naturally be able to finish him off in one strike. When the Shi Family also sends out a fourth-grade martial artist, it will be difficult for Senior to succeed again."
"Yes, it's still unknown right now." Shen Qian echoed, "Once Senior shows signs of exhaustion, we'll go on immediately!"
"Understood."
"Don't worry, Sister Qian."
"…"
The people around responded in agreement.
Sitting in a corner, Lin Tuotian also clenched his fists, his eyes shining brightly.
Killing Shi Jinyong with one slash?
Not enough, it's far from enough!
…
In the family clan waiting area on the right.
Everyone from the Shi Family fell silent with unsightly expressions.
Shi Jinyong's head had been chopped off. It was an incredibly arrogant and bold act.
This hidden fourth-grade expert was completely disregarding the Shi Family.
They had only just started and he was already going on personally!
"Patriarch, I'll go meet him."
A brawny old man with a bald head broke the silence and said, "The other party specializes in swift saber techniques. My tough technique is perfect for countering it."
"Okay." When Shi Jinnian heard that, he said in a low voice, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Ji."
"What trouble is this? It just so happens that I also want to test the might of my newly learned Light Palm."
The bald old man grinned and rubbed his head. He stood up and walked towards the ring.
"Fast saber? Heh, if you can't break my golden body barrier, what's the use of being fast!"
As he spoke, he pushed off the tip of his toes and leaped into the air. He flew into the open entrance, landing in the ring.
"Next, Shi Family, Ji Min. Lin Family, Stone Annihilator."
Li Linzhou shouted in good time, "The duel continues!"
"Ha, no matter who you are, it's not easy to reach the fourth-grade. You can only blame your bad luck for meeting me today."
The bald old man Ji Min rubbed his heads and grinned sinisterly at Su Jingxing.
The so-called "Stone Annihilator" was naturally Su Jingxing's code name.
In a family clan duels, guest elders and Guardians could go on stage. When they do, they could use their real names or code names.
Most people would not call them by their code names.
As the Shi Family's Guardian and a fourth-grade expert, Ji Min naturally wouldn't do so either.
The moment Li Linzhou announced the start of the battle, Ji Min immediately circulated his martial art. Protective true energy shrouded his body, forming a golden protective layer that could be seen with the naked eye.
In the next moment, he stomped his feet on the ground. True energy also surged around his hands and began to form palm imprints.
"Light Palm!"
Boom!
The air exploded.
Ji Min's body moved like lightning, carrying a terrifying aura as he pounced towards Su Jingxing.
As he flew through the air, two metallic-colored palm imprints shot out towards Su Jingxing.
Swoosh!
Whoosh!
Su Jingxing's figure flickered as he moved swiftly.
He executed the Eight Steps Rising Dragon, his speed was pushed to the fastest. Not even an afterimage was left behind.
The golden palm imprints missed and landed on the barrier, causing the entire barrier to shake.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Ji Min growled. His eyes shone brightly as he sensed his surroundings.
All of a sudden——
Boom!
The air in front of him exploded and energies danced.
Swoosh!
However, a dazzling saber beam bloomed behind him.
Su Jingxing held the treasure weapon in his hand. With 100,00 catties of strength, he slashed down at Ji Min's neck…

Chapter 118: Only Saber Beams, No Saber Energy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Clang!
A ring reminiscent to the clashing of metal echoed throughout the place following a burst of sparks.
Under the immense force, Ji Min was pushed forward and almost fell down in the ring.
Still, he managed to prop himself up with both hands on the ground in time. His feet kicked the air, and he had to roll over repeatedly before he managed to disperse the force and regain his balance.
The mark on the back of his neck could be seen clearly. The corresponding area of the golden protective layer was blurry.
Blocked!
This was the first time someone had forcefully resisted Su Jingxing's Three Origins Saber Art head-on.
It could only be said that the true energy internal exercise that Ji Min cultivated was too strong in defense.
A pure defensive true energy and perhaps, a tempered body as well.
If his physique was not strong, even with the protection of the layer, that massive impact of the earlier slash could still shatter his bones and break his neck.
Now, Ji Min was still standing and only grimacing in pain. This showed how strong his physique was.
Even if he hadn't reach the limits of the human body like Su Jingxing, he wasn't far off.
Steeling refinement?
Su Jingxing thought of a kind of martial arts.
One that specialized in tempering the body and focused on resistance and defense.
Such martial arts might not have strong offensive power, but in terms of endurance, resistance to attacks, self-healing, and defense, they could be said to be invincible.
When one cultivated to the highest level, practitioners wouldn't even fear being bombarded by shells.
Just like the current Ji Min, his protective true energy was released externally and shrouded him like a golden body layer. Even if Su Jingxing were to exert 100,000 catties of strength, he would not be able to break through his defense.
Of course, such defense was not permanent. It could not be maintained for long.
It consumed a lot of true energy.
As such, after a brief period of shock, Su Jingxing decisively continued to move quickly. His body flashed and Ji Min couldn't touch him.
Su Jingxing seized the opportunity from time to time and hacked at Ji Min's head, neck, and back.
"Upwind Single Slash!"
"Sweeping River Army Slash!"
"Ascending Dragon Overlord Slash!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sounds of metal clashing accompanied by saber beams resounded nonstop in the ring.
…
"Interesting, very interesting. One has powerful defense, while the other has impressive movement techniques. Neither can do anything to the other. At this rate, to decide the victor, we'll have to see who has more true energy."
"That's true, but the defense of the Shi Family's Guardian is too insane."
"Hehe, aren't you all blind? The guest elder of the Lin Family hasn't circulated his true energy up till now! He has been using his physical strength all this while!"
"F*ck, that's true. There are only saber beams but no saber energies. The physical strength of this fourth-grade powerhouse is probably tens of thousands of catties!"
The spectator stands were in an uproar.
Compared to Ji Min's terrifying defense, Su Jingxing's physical strength was equally shocking when discovered.
Coupling his pure physical strength with martial arts, he forced Ji Min to retreat from time to time.
Not many people possessed such capabilities.
Ji Min had met his match!
Not only was his movement technique formidable, his movements were swift, agile and unrestrained.
His body was full of physical strength. If it was not tempered body then it must be innate divine strength.
When the two were matched together, he might be able to defeat Ji Min without using true energy!
With this thought in mind, the expressions of the Shi Family grew increasingly grim.
Meanwhile, Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao, Xiao Chengyue, and the others cheered excitedly.
The Li, Zhou and Qi Families watched excitedly.
In every corner of Qinghe City, the people watching the live broadcast on televisions and the Internet were also amazed. They stared unblinkingly.
Both of them were fourth-grade martial artists, and each of them had their own means and special abilities.
Who would be the final victor?
…
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal clashing was still coming from the ring and echoing throughout the arena.
"Stop right there! Stop right there! If you have the guts, fight me face to face!"
Ji Min shouted angrily as he writhed.
Although Su Jingxing wasn't able to break through his defense, every time his saber struck the protective layer, the rebound of the immense force was transmitted to his body. It was still very painful.
He was in so much pain that his veins were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were trembling.
He wanted to vent his anger, but Su Jingxing wouldn't fight him head-on, forcing him to roar and provoke Su Jingxing.
Naturally, Su Jingxing would not let him have it he wished. Within a short period of time, he had enough strength for use.
At the same time, he searched for the door to Ji Min's shield in his growing frustration.
With martial arts like steeling refinements, unless one reaches Godlike Mastery,
there would be one or two spots that he could not attend to.
That was where the weakness, the door was!
Where was Ji Min's weakness?
Eyes? Underarms? Or crotch?
Su Jingxing started to test each spot one by one.
First, the crotch. This part was often the easiest to ignore and the hardest to cultivate.
Thus, in a flash, the treasure weapon in his hand swung towards Ji Min's crotch.
"Despicable!"
Ji Min gritted his teeth and snarled angrily.
His bald head suddenly lit up at this moment.
It was not a figurative description. It really radiated light, like a light bulb.
In the blink of an eye, beams of dazzling lights shot out.
Su Jingxing was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes and stepped backwards.
Hu!
But a gust of wind suddenly appeared and swept towards him.
Swish! Swish!
Su Jingxing shifted his body and dodged the attack quickly.
Boom!
However, not only did the wind not dissipate, it instead became even more intense. Like a hurricane, it created an explosive sound as it brushed against the air.
This time, Su Jingxing got a clear look.
Ji Min!
This bald fourth-grade expert was currently emitting golden light all over his body, and his head was the brightest spot.
Placing his hands tightly on his thighs, he stood upright. Like a projectile, he used his body as a weapon, chasing him, charging forward with his head bowed.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Su Jingxing moved quickly in front, changing his position.
Ji Min, whose head was glowing, was like a missile that locked onto Su Jingxing from the start and chased after him.
The two of them had suddenly switched positions.
Previously, it was Su Jingxing who chased after Ji Min. Now, it was Ji Min who was chasing after Su Jingxing.
Su Jingxing also retaliated. He swung his blade at Ji Min's head.
However, apart from the clanging of metal, there was not even a single spark.
Clearly, in Ji Min's current state of charging like a cannonball, his defense had become stronger.
Unless Su Jingxing erupted with a hundred years of cultivation and used the maximum of Hundred Steps Reigning Fist, he really could not do anything to him.
The problem was that if were to expend his true energy this early, how would he continue fighting subsequently?
In Wan Rong's memories, the Shi Family had more than two fourth-grade Guardians.
In Nie Renchou's memories, there were more than two fourth-grade members in the Shi Family itself.
In other words, apart from Tang Wulin and Ji Min, the Shi Family had at least three other fourth-grade powerhouses!
If Su Jingxing were use up a large amount of his true energy now, how could he go up against the remaining fourth-grades?
Was he really going to escape when that happened?
No!
Su Jingxing was indignant.
Ji Min's condition would definitely not last long.
It was still the same. Such an attack consumed too much energy.
"Ha! The guest elder of the Lin Family is such a drama king!"

In the VIP area.
The people from the Li Family couldn't help but laugh out loud as they watched Su Jingxing being chased around the ring by Ji Min.
"That's right. He had the upper hand before, but now it's his turn to run."
"It's too early for you to be gloating over his misfortune. Even though this guest elder of the Lin Family is dodging, he still hasn't used his true energy."
"That's right. This unique technique that Baldy Ji has consumes an extraordinary amount of energy. He won't be able to hold on for much longer. When his true energy is exhausted, it will be his time to die."
"That may be the case, but if Baldy Ji catches up to him, the Lin Family's guest elder will definitely die too."
"Agreed. I heard that Baldy Ji's Sky Rocket Cannon can even kill a third-grade!"
"Ha, only you would believe his bragging."
…
Qi Family's area.
"Sky Rocket Cannon! I didn't expect Baldy Ji to use his ultimate skill so quickly. He really had no other alternative."
"Otherwise, what should he do? He can't just stand there and let the guest elder of the Lin Family hack at him, right?"
"The Sky Rocket Cannon is powerful enough. Unfortunately, movement techniques of the Lin Family's guest elder is also very formidable. Baldy Ji only has a chance of winning if he catches up to him."
"…A chance? Second Brother, you think so highly of the Lin Family's guest elder?"
"Isn't that obvious? He hasn't even used his true energy yet! Baldy Ji has already used his ultimate move!"
"Uh, that's true."
…
Wang Family's area.
"What a Sky Rocket Cannon. This ultimate skill of Ji Min has not been used for almost ten years. This time, it was actually forced out of him so quickly. This guest elder of the Lin Family is amazing!"
Wang Tiedao patted the handsome man's thigh and said excitedly.
The handsome man's facial muscles twitched. He endured the pain and asked gently, "Brother Knife, is this Sky Rocket Cannon very powerful?"
"Of course. Ji Min once blew up a 500-meter tall mountain with this ultimate skill. Few people outside of the third-grade can handle it," Wang Tiedao praised.
"Ah, it's so strong?" The handsome man cried out in surprise and opened his mouth.
When Wang Tiedao saw this, she couldn't help but pull him in and bite down hard.
"Uh~"
…
Zhou Family's area.
"The Lin Family's guest elder is amazing. Once Baldy Ji's Sky Rocket Cannon is used, it will not stop until there is a death. It will continue to lock onto the target and its speed will become faster and faster. It has been such a long time, but the Lin Family's guest elder is still running. He is leading Baldy Ji in circles. Impressive!"
"I can only say that Ji Min met his match this time. He can't strike him nor catch up to him. Let's see how long he can last now."
"The Sky Rocket Cannon can only last for 15 minutes at most before the user is exhausted. The Lin Family's guest elder only needs to endure through this period of time and he can… F*ck! What's going on?"
An exclamation interrupted their conversation.
The others in the surroundings also were also wide-eyed as they looked at the ring.
In the ring, after Su Jingxing dodged Ji Min's charge once again, he suddenly turned around to move behind him. Then, aiming at Ji Min's feet, he slashed down with his saber.
Thud!
Pfft——
A muffled sound, mixed with the sound of air leaking, suddenly resounded throughout the arena.
Under everyone's gaze, Ji Min, whose feet were struck, suddenly trembled. Immediately after, golden protective layer on his body quickly distorted and water ripples spread.
As more and more ripples gathered——
Pa!
A crisp sound echoed in the arena.
The protective layer on Ji Min's body shattered just like that, turning into mist and disappearing.
"He found the door to the shield!"
"Baldy Ji's golden body barrier has been broken!"
Someone exclaimed from the VIP seats.
The others returned to their senses and spoke up as well, discussing endlessly.
However, the situation in the ring reached a climax once again before the audience could get heated up.
Ji Min's barrier was broken and his Sky Rocket Cannon state disintegrated on the spot.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Jingxing immediately circulated his true energy and infused it into his treasure weapon. He executed the Human Origin volume of the Three Origins Saber Art. Aiming at Ji Min, three slashes were released.
Upwind Single Slash!
Sweeping River Army Slash!
Ascending Dragon Overlord Slash!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Each slash was faster than the previous.
Every one hit Ji Min, who no longer had the ability to protect himself. His skin was split and his flesh torn, fresh blood flowed and his bones broke.
Finally as Ji Min let out a furious roar, his head left his neck and flew high into the air.
Hu~
Blood sprayed into the air.
Pa thump!
The head that fell to the ground made a strange sound.
Following this strange sound, the entire arena fell into dead silence once again.
Dead…
Ji Min was dead!
His head was chopped off by Su Jingxing and he died with his eyes open.
This was not Shi Jinyong. Ji Min the baldy was a fourth-grade.
A real fourth-grade powerhouse!
That he was killed by Su Jingxing so quickly, everyone present, be it martial artists or ordinary people, couldn't help but feel dazed.
Including those who were watching the live broadcast in front of their televisions and online.
At this moment, they were all deeply shocked, unable to extricate themselves.
Fourth-grade!
Some of the small group of the most powerful existences in Qinghe City had actually died in the ring today.
The impact was too great. While it was shocking, it was also unbelievable.
It took a while for the crowd to regain their energy. The entire arena was in an uproar.
"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!"
"Ah, ah, ah, it's too amazing. Shocking, impressive! He's a fourth-grade. A fourth-grade expert died just like that. Who is this guest elder of the Lin Family? What's his name? What does he look like? Why is he so powerful? He can even kill a fourth-grade powerhouse!"
"Idiot, the Guardian of the Shi Family was killed because the Lin Family's guest elder found the weakness of his martial art and destroyed it. Otherwise, the Guardian wouldn't have died so easily."
"That's right, the point of weakness was actually under his feet. How did the Lin family's guest elder discover it?"
…
The spectator stands were in an uproar. Everyone seemed very excited and were shouting loudly.
In the VIP seats, the Qi, Zhou and Li Families, as well as Wang Tiedao were also clicking their tongues.
They felt pity for Ji Min's death and was amazed at Su Jingxing's sharpness.
Ji Min had cultivated Golden Body Shield for decades. No one knew where his point of weakness was.
Today, however, Su Jingxing had discovered it. It was right under his feet.
This was truly fate. He was destined to die in the ring.
The death of a grand fourth-grade expert naturally caused everyone to shout excitedly.
Even Li Linzhou had a complicated expression on his face.
His gaze on Su Jingxing was filled with an indescribable feeling.
At the family clan waiting areas on the two sides.
Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao, Xiao Chengyue, and the others cheered excitedly.
Lin Tuotian even burst into loud laughter, his face completely red.
In comparison, the Shi Family's side was completely silent. No one dared to make a sound.
Ji Min actually died so quickly.
A fourth-grade died just like that!
Shi Jinnian could not maintain his composure at all at this moment. His expression was terrifyingly somber.
Ji Min was a fourth-grade yet was no match for Su Jingxing.
Who else could they send?
It could be said that against Su Jingxing, anyone below the fourth-grade who went into the ring would die!
The problem was that it was impossible not to send someone.
Li Linzhou ordered his men to drag Ji Min's body away. His gaze had already landed on the Shi Family.
If Shi Jinnian did not send out any more combatants, he would have to accept the scorn and disdain of the entire city, and…
The quiet besiege of the Li, Qi, Zhou and Wang families!

Chapter 120: Ten Fourth-Grade Martial Artists
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Elder Lin, the Shi Family isn't frightened by all the kills that Senior has made and dare not anyone else into the ring, is it?"
In the waiting area on the left, Mao Xiaomao, who was sitting next to Lin Tuotian, couldn't help but ask.
"No."
Lin Tuotian said in a deep voice, "If the Shi Family wants to continue living in Qinghe City… No, if they want to continue living in Yu Nation, they have to send people in and complete 100 matches!"
"Why?"
Mao Xiaomao scratched her head. "To be honest, I don't understand this family clan duel very well. Under normal circumstances, when they have lost a few matches or a dozen matches, they should cut the losses in time and give up. Why they have to persevere to the end? To die for nothing?"
"Right, I don't really understand either."
Hearing that, Xiao Chengyue interrupted, "I looked up information related to the duel last night. I found that once the application for the duel is approved, it must continue until the end. It won't end until the hundred matches are over! Although this is a rule, isn't it a little too strict? What if the two families give up fighting halfway and choose to reconcile?"
"Reconcile?"
Lin Tuotian smiled. "Once the duel begins, there's no other way other than finishing one hundred matches and having one person die per match. There is no other option!"
"Why?" Mao Xiaomao was wide-eyed.
Shen Qian, Zhang Jun, and the rest also turned their heads to listen.
"Why?" Lin Tuotian muttered. Then, he let out a sigh and said, "Because it's what other factions want, especially the royal families of each nation."
"Although royal families no longer have any authority and are only left with status, the cabinets are the same."
"What do you think is most important to the royal families and the cabinets?"
"Stability!" Shen Qian said seriously, "To a cabinet, the stability of the nation is more important than anything else."
"That's right, stability," Lin Tuotian said in a low voice. "To a royal family and a cabinet, nothing is more important than the stability of the nation. As for us martial artists, we just happen to be the most restless ones. Incidents involving casualties will happen from time to time. Today, you kill me, tomorrow, I'll kill you. No matter who wins, the ones who suffer in the end are always the commoners."
"I understand now!"
When Mao Xiaomao heard this, her eyes lit up. She analyzed, "Because martial artists threaten the stability of society, the royal families and cabinets are most willing to see a life-and-death battle between them. With duels being an amplified version, if two martial arts families were to kill off each other, it would be good for the stability of society.
"On the contrary, if we allow the two martial arts families to fight without any scruples, it will only cause chaos and panic in the city!"
"Yes."
Lin Tuotian glanced at Mao Xiaomao and sighed. "In the general situation where "stability trumps everything", once an application for a duel goes through, it has to be completed. If not, or if a family draws back midway, the two martial arts families will be cast aside by all the people and secretly suppressed by the royal family. With the royal family's tacit approval, there will be other sects and family clans willing to step out and encircle and suppress them.
"Right now, even without the royal family's orders and the cabinet is far away in the capital, unable to pay attention to the area, the various City Guards and Martial Suppression Offices will still secretly push for it, allowing other powers to encircle and annihilate the families involved in duels. In the end, the gains will be divided among the powers that have taken action.
"If the duel continues until the end, at most 70 descendants of the family clan will die. But if they regret their decision midway, then the ones who will die might be the entire family!
"Besides, if managed well, perhaps even the 70 people won't have die."
At this point, Lin Tuotian clenched his fists tightly.
Mao Xiaomao didn't see it and asked curiously, "Ah, even the 70 of them don't have to die? Are the people in one of the family clans as powerful as Senior and can defeat everyone?"
"Yes!"
Lin Tuotian clenched his teeth. "That year, the Shi Family used this method to deal with the Lin Family! I don't know what price that old bastard Shi Zhinie paid, but he hired 10 fourth-grade martial artists to participate in the duel! Half of these 10 fourth-grade martial artists were mobilized to kill my Lin Family's fourth-grade martial artists! Then, the remaining half slaughtered everyone else!!!"
Lin Tuotian's entire body was trembling, and his eyes were spewing flames. He clenched his fists so tightly that he didn't even notice that his nails had dug into his flesh.
The frenzied killing intent emanating from his body made Mao Xiaomao stick out her tongue and she dared not say another word.
Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao, Xiao Chengyue and the rest were all silent.
10 fourth-grade martial artists!
30 years ago, the Shi Family hired ten fourth-grade martial artists to fight against the Lin Family.
No wonder the Lin Family disappeared overnight.
10 fourth-grade martial artists went on stage from the start.
One against one, they could take down ten of the Lin Family's fourth-grade experts.
The problem was, did the Lin family have 10 fourth-grade martial artists?
No!
Therefore, after the fourth-grade experts were killed or severely injured, the outcome of the remaining people were fated.
Just like what was happening now.
Against Su Jingxing, unless the Shi Family continues to send fourth-grade martial artists, anyone else who went into the ring would die!
How many fourth-grade martial artists were there in the Shi Family?
Would they continue to send fourth-grades?
"Next, Shi Family, Helian Xuezhen, Lin Family, Stone Annihilator."
Li Linzhou's voice sounded.
At the same time, Lin Tuotian suddenly stood up. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he glared at a silver-haired old man who was flying into the ring. His voice came out from between his teeth.
"It's him! It's him! That old thing is actually still in the Shi Family!"
"…Elder Lin, do you know him?" Xiao Chengyue shrank his neck and asked softly.
"Of course I do! Even if this bastard turns into ashes, I can still recognize him!"
Lin Tuotian gritted his teeth and growled, "Helian Xuezhen, old bastard Helian! 30 years ago, one of the 10 fourth-grade martial artists hired by that old thing, Shi Zhinie. The beast who killed my father!!!"
"Huh?"
Mao Xiaomao, Shen Qian, Xiao Chengyue, Zhang Jun, Jiang Tianhao, and the others were all stunned.
In the next second, Shen Qian came to her senses. She looked flustered and said nervously, "Fourth-grade? This Helian Xuezhen was in the fourth-grade 30 years ago? Then what realm is he in now? Third-grade?"
"Impossible."
Jiang Tianhao shook his head. "If he is in the third-grade, why would he still serve as a Guardian? Would he still stay in the Shi Family? He would have gone to the capital or abroad long ago!"
"Right. Let's not scare ourselves."
Xiao Chengyue swallowed his saliva and said in encouragement, "We have to believe in Senior. A martial artist in the fourth-grade 30 years ago is not even a third-grade. He can definitely defeat him!"
"Yes, he can definitely defeat him!"
"Definitely!"
"…"
The others around spoke up in agreement.
Even though all of them still looked worried.
He was already a fourth-grade martial artist 30 years ago. Even if he hadn't reached the third-grade, he was still undoubtedly terrifying.
Not only was Shi Family continuing to send experts, they even sent out such a powerful figure.
Could Su Jingxing win against a fourth-grade martial artist who had cultivated for decades?
The Stone Annihilation Alliance, Lin Tuotian, the Li, Zhou, Qi and Wang families, and all the others who recognized Helian Xuezhen felt apprehensive and expectant.
In the ring.
"Friend, it's not too late for you to regret now.."

Chapter 121: Slash! Slash! Slash!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Helian Xuezhen, with a head full of silver hair, had a strong and tall figure. His bulging muscles held up his thick martial arts attire, and his pair of sharp eyes were like a hawk's. He stared straight at Su Jingxing and spoke in a low voice.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know either. I just want to give you a friendly reminder since we are both in the fourth-grade. The Shi family is not as simple as you think them to be."
Su Jingxing was speechless.
"Thank you."
Su Jingxing replied calmly, "Thanks for the reminder, but I've already made my decision."
"Alright then." Helian Xuezhen sighed lightly. "Since that's the case, I'll do my best to kill you so that you don't have to endure too much pain!"
Before the word "pain" fell, Helian Xuezhen's body suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.
Crack!
Boom boom boom!
It was as if a thunderbolt had descended upon the world and sliced through the air.
Countless thick bolts of lightning suddenly burst out. With Helian Xuezhen as the center, they shot everywhere, covering the entire ring in an instant.
At this instant, the arena seemed to have been bathed in a net of lightning, and there were hundreds of lightning snakes dancing madly and filling every corner.
Not only on the surface of the ring, even in the air, the space within a 30-meter radius of the ring was also covered by the lightning snakes.
A terrifying burning and tearing force struck the barrier, causing the shaking barrier to buzz non-stop.
Faced with such a large-scale attack, Su Jingxing did not manage to dodge for a while and was electrocuted by a large amount of electric current.
However, in that instant, he felt a stimulating pain and then it was immediately neutralized.
At the same time, he understood what these electric currents were.
They were not real electric arcs or electric currents, but true energy, a type of lightning and thunder true energy!
Just like the Heaven Trampling True Energy that had weight as an attribute.
Lightning and thunder true energy was not real lightning and thunder either. Instead, they were attributes. The true energy released could possess abilities similar to lightning and thunder.
Burning, tearing, destruction!
This kind of true energy was most suitable for covering a large area. Ordinary martial artists would not be able to withstand it.
Although it wasn't real lightning and thunder, the powerful tearing and destructive force could easily shatter the physique of ordinary martial artists. Even if it was a body-tempering martial artist, if their realm wasn't very high, they still wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Su Jingxing was only able to do so because his physical body had reached the limits of the human body.
However, if he were to bathe in such lightning and thunder true energy for a long period of time, he would feel uncomfortable as well.
Over time, the physical body at the limits of the human body would be damaged beyond repair.
Therefore, Su Jingxing decisively took out his only remaining Golden Body Card and placed it on his palm. He quietly unlocked it and applied it to his body.
The Red-Scaled Porcupine's terrifying defense instantly boosted him.
Helian Xuezhen's lightning and thunder true energy was blocked out in a split second. Within the next ten minutes, there was no need to fear his body being destroyed.
This ten minutes was undoubtedly the time for Su Jingxing to go all out!
Crack! Crack!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under Helian Xuezhen's control, the terrifying lightning and thunder true energy covered the entire arena and continuously landed on Su Jingxing's body.
The old man's long silver hair fluttered behind him without any wind.
His palms, mouth, and eyes were shining like lightning.
Frightening claps of thunder followed one after another. The powerful destructive force caused cracks to appear on the alloy ground.
At this moment, Helian Xuezhen was like the legendary Thunder God that released world-devastating lightning and thunder, suppressing and killing Su Jingxing without end!
Swoosh!
Boom!
Su Jingxing, who was wrapped in the energy of the Golden Body Card, launched a counterattack instantly.
The Eight Steps Rising Dragon was executed to its limits. Su Jingxing's agile and elegant movement technique allowed him to arrive before Helian Xuezhen in less than two breaths.
Standing face to face, a hundred thousand catties of strength erupted, and the Human Origin volume of the Three Origins Saber Art poured down on Helian Xuezhen.
Upwind Single Slash!
Sweeping River Army Slash!
Ascending Dragon Overlord Slash!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
He did not use true energy as it would be nullified by the lightning and thunder true energy.
Su Jingxing erupted with pure physical strength, and along with the power of the Three Origins Saber Art, bombarded the astonished Helian Xuezhen.
Because Su Jingxing was too fast, when the saber light shone, Helian Xuezhen then realized that Su Jingxing had arrived in front of him.
By the time he reacted and prepared to attack, the treasure weapon that carried 100,000 catties of strength had already struck his right neck.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
The treasure weapon blossomed with a radiance, and three consecutive strikes, each one heavier than the last, each one more terrifying than the last, slashed onto the right side of Helian Xuezhen neck.
Accompanied by muffled sounds, Helian Xuezhen's head continuously shifted to the left, and her entire body also sank to the left.
1
After Su Jingxing's three slashes, Helian Xuezhen was already kneeling on the ground.
A visible wound on his neck was exposed to the air.
And this was the result of him controlling a large amount of lightning and thunder true energy to form a translucent protective armor that covered his body.
If not for the protection of his true energy armor, his head would have been chopped off long ago.
They were too heavy!
Every strike Su Jingxing landed was too heavy.
Every strike contained tens of thousands of catties, and every slash made Helian Xuezhen's heart jump.
Innate divine strength?
Su Jingxing was born with innate divine strength!
This was the only explanation that made sense. Su Jingxing had used pure strength in his previous match, and also in this match.
It was as if the strength in his physical body was limitless and inexhaustible.
This type of body was the representation of innate divine strength, able to erupt with terrifying power for a long time.
He did not think about the limits of the Su Jingxing's body. However, he knew that he had definitely practiced the corresponding body-tempering martial arts.
Otherwise, Su Jingxing's physical body wouldn't have been able to withstand the previous strike of lightning and thunder.
This move had a wide coverage, and was one of Helian Xuezhen's trump cards.
Usually, not many people would be able to withstand it, including fourth-grade martial artists.
Only body-tempering martial artists could do so for about half a minute.
Su Jingxing had innate divine strength and cultivated a special body-tempering martial art.
It basically countered this ability!
This caused Helian Xuezhen to be both shocked and furious, and at the same time, he didn't dare hold back.
"Go to hell…"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Saber light radiated, and a dull thunderous sound echoed throughout the entire arena.
Su Jingxing didn't give Helian Xuezhen any time to catch his breath at all. Before he counterattacked, the Human Origin volume of the Three Origins Saber Art was circulated to the extreme.
Extreme speed and extreme strength.
Just like that, he aimed at the wound on Helian Xuezhen's neck and slashed crazily.
Boom boom boom!
A loud explosion erupted, and countless gusts of energies were sent flying.
Dozens and hundreds of strikes landed in a second.
The hacking caused Helian Xuezhen's mind to go blank. Lightning and thunder true energy was everywhere. Gone out of control, it was bursting in all directions.
His true energy armor was already broken, so how could it withstand such a rapid and aggressive slashes?
In less than three seconds, there was a strange cracking sound as his neck was chopped off.
Helian Xuezhen's head, which wore a frightened expression, was tossed high into the air!

Chapter 122: Next, Next, Next, Next!
Pu!
A pillar of blood shot into the sky with his head.
Dong!
The fallen head landed on the ground and rolled three times.
Helian Xuezhen's headless body swayed and collapsed to the ground.
Clang!
After extracting a card, Su Jingxing held the treasure weapon in his hand, half-kneeling beside Helian Xuezhen's corpse, propping the blade against the ground as he calmed his breathing.
Slashing Helian Xuezhen took too much strength. Now that he had stopped, besides feeling hot all over with steam rising from the top of his head, a wave of exhaustion and fatigue had surged closely behind.
When Shi Jinnian saw this, his eyes lit up immediately. He waved his hand and shouted, "Yu Qixin, Luo Lixi, you two, go into the ring immediately!"
"Understood."
The guest elders of the Shi Family, who had been named, rushed out of the waiting area and towards the stage.
Swoosh!
A figure descended from the sky and blocked the way.
Li Linzhou said expressionlessly, "It's not time yet."
During the duel, the interval between the matches was set to be five minutes.
However, Su Jingxing couldn't wait for them to come in quickly.
The ten-minute time limit for the Golden Body Card was not up yet.
So…
"It's okay. Let them come."
Su Jingxing propped himself up with his saber and shouted at Li Linzhou, "It's best if everyone comes together!"
Together?
The audience who had yet to recover from the shock of Helian Xuezhen's death could not help but be stunned.
Yu Qixin, Luo Lixi and the others were pleasantly surprised.
"Commander Li, look…"
"There are rules in a duel." Li Linzhou had no expression. "Only one person can go in in every match. Which one of you will go first?"
Alright.
Yu Qixin, Luo Lixi and the rest pursed their lips in pity.
If they attacked together, there was no doubt that they had a high chance of killing Su Jingxing.
"I'll go first."
Yu Qixin took a deep breath and walked towards the ring.
As a guest elder of the Shi Family, regardless of what was ahead, he could only put on a bold face and go through with it.
"Next, Shi Family, Yu Qixin. Lin Family, Stone Annihilator."
Li Linzhou announced the start of a new match.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A shrill sound of wind breaking could be heard.
As soon as Yu Qixin stepped into the ring, his hands danced and shot out rows of fine poisonous needles.
Swoosh!
Whoosh!
Su Jingxing ignored the needles and executed the Eight Steps Rising Dragon. He held his treasure weapon and charged in front of Yu Qixin, slashing down.
"No…"
Pu!
Blood sprayed out and his head was thrown into the air.
"Next!"
Su Jingxing extracted a card and turned to look at Luo Lixi and the others who were waiting at the entrance of the ring.
"Next, Shi Family, Luo Lixi. Lin Family, Stone Annihilator."
Li Linzhou's voice sounded.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as Luo Lixi stepped onto the stage, the long sword in his hand stirred up waves of strong winds, carrying a scorching aura as he charged towards Su Jingxing.
Swoosh!
Su Jingxing continued to ignore Luo Lixi as he used the Eight Steps Rising Dragon. In a flash, he appeared in front of Luo Lixi and slashed down.
Pu!
Once again, blood splattered, and a head was in the air.
"Next!"
Su Jingxing picked up the card and shouted.
"Next, Shi Family, Wu Weiqing. Lin Family, Stone Annihilator."
Swoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wu Weiqing, who had a slim and graceful figure, also released her true energy as soon as she entered a ring. She brandished a long whip and swung it wildly to attack Su Jingxing.
Boom!
Su Jingxing continued to ignore her. He stepped on Eight Steps Rising Dragon and swiftly rushed forward.
The treasure weapon in his hand shone with a radiance as he slashed.
Bang!
The air exploded. Wu Weiqing sensed it and dodged in time.
But…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The extremely fast saber light appeared again.
This time, three slashes were released consecutively and the saber energy drowned Wu Weiqing.
She did not even have the chance to scream before her head was separated from her body.
"Next!"
…
"Next, Shi Family, Yuan Xinhui. Lin Family, Stone Annihilator."
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Pu!
"Next!"
…
"Next, Shi Family, Ni Qiong. Lin Family, Stone Annihilator."
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Pu!
"Next!"
…
"Next, Shi Family, Zhuo Ben Jin. Lin Family, Stone Annihilator."
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Pu!
"Next!"
…
"Next, Shi Family, Lian Dongwen, Lin Family, Stone Annihilator."
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Pu!
"Next!"
…
…
Go on, die. Go on, die. Go on, die.
For a period of time, in the huge arena, Su Jingxing's shout would be heard less than 20 seconds after Li Linzhou's announcement.
With every shout, a guest elder of the Shi Family died in the ring.
The spacious ring was soon filled with corpses and blood.
"Next!"
"Next!"
"…"
Su Jingxing's voice gradually lowered and his body started to sway.
The audience, however, went from feeling shocked to dazed, then to being blank, and finally to feeling numb.
In the arena with more than 100,000 people, other than Su Jingxing's shout and Li Linzhou's voice, everyone else had shut up.
They watched numbly as the Shi Family's guest elders or descendants, went into the ring one after another and were killed by a single slash or three slashes.
This killing method that resembled the slaughtering of pigs, no, the slaughtering of chickens had everyone trembling from head to toe. They were speechless from shock!
Until…
Clang~
With a crisp sound, Su Jingxing's strength was completely exhausted. The treasure weapon in his hand fell to the ground and he didn't shout anymore.
His hair, face, and clothes were all drenched in sweat. Dripping, his sweat joined the pool of blood, creating ripples.
The entire arena fell into dead silence.
How many?
How many people from the Shi Family had been killed?
The crowd stared at the large display screen hanging in the middle of the arena with their numb scalps.
It showed a row of numbers.
The number of deaths from the Lin and Shi families.
At this moment, the numbers were——
69, 0, 69
69!
He single-handedly won 69 matches consecutively and killed 69 people from the Shi Clan.
Two in the fourth-grade, 11 in the fifth-grade, and 27 in the sixth-grade!
The rest were all seventh-grade martial artists.
Faced with this data, everyone was once again shocked beyond words.
The throats of the audience watching through televisions and the Internet were dry and their limbs numb.
Without stopping, he had killed 67 sixth-grade, fifth-grade, and seventh-grade martial artists in one go.
Is… is he even human!?
Whoosh!
Su Jingxing walked step by step. In the moment he stepped out of the ring the quiet stadium finally regained its liveliness and went into an uproar.
"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!"
"Mad, mad, I'm going mad. Who is this guest elder!"
"He's not human! This fellow isn't human! He killed 69 people in one go using just a small amount of true energy. This fellow is definitely not human!"
"When did the physical body strength of a fourth-grade martial artist become so exaggerated?"
"If he hadn't finally stopped, I would have suspected that he would continue killing his way through!"
"Ahhh, this is amazing, too amazing!"
"…"
Screams, shouts, cheers, all sorts of sounds were mixed together, forming a sound wave that reverberated in the arena.
The ordinary audience was shouting like they were partying, but the Li, Zhou, Wang, Qi families and even the people from the Martial Suppression Office, the Public Security Team, and the City Guard Office were quiet.
Meanwhile, the Shi Family was deathly silent.
"Patriarch, shall we kill him while he's exhausted?"

Chapter 123: Explode! Explode! Explode!
A voice sounded behind Shi Jinnian's head.
"Shut up!"
Shi Jinnian barked in a low voice. On his somber face, the darkness could almost coagulate.
Kill Su Jingxing?
Did he not notice that Li Linzhou's gaze was wandering around the Shi Family's area all this while?
If the Shi Family were to make any moves, Li Linzhou definitely won't sit still!
69 people had died, and Su Jingxing had finally left the ring. The Shi family still had a chance.
Shi Jinnian had already figured out what kind of people were in the Stone Annihilation Alliance.
Other than Huang Ya, who was in the sixth-grade, the rest were all in the lower ranks.
Among them, majority were in the ninth-grade.
How dare these people challenge them?
Courting death!
Shi Jinnian wanted all of them to die, to keep all the dead Shi Family descendants company!
…
"Oh, oh! Senior, sit here, sit here!"
In the waiting area on the left, Su Jingxing returned shakily. Xiao Chengyue immediately fussed around him. He brought towels, water, and even wanted to give him a massage.
He only stopped after Su Jingxing raised his hand.
"Senior, don't worry. We'll handle the rest." Shen Qian looked at Su Jingxing respectfully and said seriously.
"Yes, Senior. Take a break with an easy mind now. We'll go and fight the Shi Family." Xiao Chengyue clenched his fists.
"I'll go first for the next much," Jiang Tianhao said straightforwardly.
"No, let me go first."
"I'll do it, I'll do it. I've waited so long for this day, I'll go next!"
"…"
The few of them fought, all wanting to go on first.
"Hey, Old Guan, where are you going?" Yang Sijing suddenly shouted at a reserved middle-aged man.
The latter did not seem to hear her. Carrying a huge saber on his back, he walked straight to the ring.
"Stop arguing! Uncle Guan is going ahead!" Mao Xiaomao shouted at Xiao Chengyue and the others.
Hmm?
Shen Qian, Xiao Chengyue, and the others turned to look at the ring. The middle-aged man named Guan Yedao had already reached the entrance.
Standing at the edge of the entrance, he watched as the Public Security Team quickly carried the corpses off the stage and sent them to the crematorium.
After the corpses were cleared, a powder was also scattered onto the fresh blood that flowed out of them to congeal it into solid pieces.
All that was left was a strong fishy smell of blood. It would take some time to for that to be dispelled.
Guan Yedao waited for everyone to leave before stepping into the ring.
Whoosh!
At the entrance on the right, the participant from the Shi Family quickly rushed into the ring and stood on the ground covered in white blocks. He stared at Guan Yedao with hostility.
"Next round, Shi Family, Shi Jinduo. Lin Family, Guan Yedao."
Li Linzhou's voice echoed throughout the venue.
Only then did the noisy arena quieten down. Everyone looked at the ring.
"Remember, the person who killed you is called Shi Jinduo!"
On the arena, Shi Jinduo drew his longsword and released his True Qi, slashing at Guan Yedao.
Swish!
The air was torn apart as powerful energy danced in the air.
Guan Yidao, who was a man of few words, stomped on the ground and ran around the arena at his fastest speed.
…
"Shi Jinduo, a sixth-grade martial artist. Old Guan is only in the seventh-grade. How long can he last?" Yang Sijing muttered as she looked at the ring.
"No matter how long, it's still a gain," Shen Qian commented. "Of course, if Old Guan can fight to the death and seriously injure Shi Jinduo, that would be even better."
Using death to injure severely?
It was a good idea, but the situation was not so optimistic.
Su Jingxing leaned back in his chair and pulled up his mask, revealing his mouth. He stuffed a few Essence Energy Pills into his mouth to get relieve his fatigue and recover his energy.
A moment later, he stuffed a dozen Strength Pills into his mouth to replenish his strength.
Essence Energy Pills in one mouthful and Strength Pills in another, he supplemented himself in an orderly manner.
On the other hand, his true energy hadn't been depleted much, so he didn't have to replenish it yet.
Looking at Shi Jinduo and Guan Yidao on the stage, Su Jingxing's eyes flashed.
At the start of the battle, Guan Yedao fell into a disadvantage and was chased by Shi Jinduo.
Shi Jinduo's sword energy danced around the ring, continuously cutting through the ground and barriers.
Guan Yedao's speed was sufficient, but his movement technique was lacking. Thus, he was quickly swept by the sword energy, and the wounds on his body gradually increased.
Correspondingly, he was also moving closer and closer to Shi Jinduo.
Finally, with a strange sound, Shi Jinduo's longsword pierced through Guan Yidao's chest and through his back. The two of them were leaning close together.
"Damn bastard!"
Shi Jinduo looked at Guan Yedao coldly and growled, "Do you think you can hurt me by getting close to me? Let me tell you, don't even think about it in your next life!"
Guan Yedao did not say anything, but blood kept gushing out of his mouth.
Then, he looked at Shi Jinduo and laughed with difficulty.
"Ha…"
Bang!
A deafening sound echoed throughout the venue.
Guan Yedao's body suddenly exploded, turning into countless bits of flesh and blood that rained down and scattered all over the ground.
Even though Shi Jinduo, who was right in front of him, had true energy protecting his body, he was too close, and the might of the explosion was too great. He was blasted off the ground on the spot. The flesh on his face became mangled and half of his chest caved in.
He was sent flying for more than ten meters before crashing heavily onto the ground. His limbs were trembling, and blood trickled down the corner of his lips.
His eyes were wide with disbelief.
In the end, he died abruptly with his eyes still open.
A hush fell over the entire arena.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Perishing together?
Perishing together!
Guan Yedao who was in the seventh-grade was actually dragging the sixth-grade Shi Jinduo down with him!
Too ruthless!
"Vicious people, they are all vicious people. The guest elders of the Lin Family is already abnormal enough, but the others are also crazy."
"That's right. This Guan Yedao had actually tied a bomb to his body. By self-destructing, he would kill Shi Jinduo with him. How ruthless!"
"Haha, the Shi Family must be panicking now. It wasn't easy for them to hold on to the Lin Family's guest elder left. They probably didn't expect the others to be able to kill too!"
"…"
The huge arena was in an uproar.
No one expected Guan Yedao to actually drag Shi Jinduo to death with him!
The members of the Shi Family, who had recovered from their shock, were indeed rather flustered.
Lunatics!
The Stone Annihilation Alliance were all lunatics!
Shi Jinnian's face was not only somber, it was almost black as charcoal.
"Hahaha!"
"Look at Shi Jinnian's expression!"
The people from the Li, Qi, Zhou and Wang families all burst into laughter, gloating at their misfortune when they saw this from afar.
…
"All of you… tied bombs to yourself?"
Su Jingxing glanced at Shen Qian, Jiang Tianhao and the others and asked in a low voice.
"Of course, this is normal!"
Xiao Chengyue pushed his hair back and smiled confidently. "Although we're not as strong as the Shi Family, we can still drag them down with us. No matter what, one person killed is one kill earned!"
Su Jingxing remained silent.
Regardless of whether he admitted it or not, at the very beginning, Su Jingxing really only wanted to make use of the Stone Annihilation Alliance.
However, at this moment, he felt some admiration for them.
Eliminating the Shi Family wasn't just empty talk. They were truly willing to go all out.
Guan Yedao was not the first.
Soon, Zhang Jun, Yang Sijing, Jiang Tianhao, Liu Mang, He Bing…
One after another, they chose to self-destruct, either heavily injuring or perishing with the people from the Shi Family.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The explosions continued.
The hundred matches gradually decreased.
When there were only ten matches left to go, Su Jingxing stepped into the ring once more.
Swoosh!

Chapter 124: Tempted
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The saber light flashed across.
The head of the fleeing Shi descendant left his neck and flew high into the air.
It fell to the ground with a thud and rolled twice.
On his frightened and indignant face, his eyes were wide open.
"Next."
Su Jingxing extracted a card and turned to look at the entrance on the right side of the ring.
Outside the entrance, a group of Shi descendants were waiting.
Terror was written all over their faces as they looked at Su Jingxing with gazes filled with fear and resentment.
Although the Stone Annihilation Alliance were all lunatics who had tied the bombs to their bodies, they still had a chance of survival against them compared to Su Jingxing.
As long as they keep a distance and make sure they do not get, or are only slightly affected by the explosions, they would at most end up with some injuries.
But Su Jingxing was different.
Facing Su Jingxing spelled death, and only death!
There were no exceptions!
No one was willing to take part in a match where they were sure to die.
Unfortunately, the duel had come to its final stage, and the outcome was already decided.
The Shi Family had lost.
In order to cut losses in time, these last ten descendants of the Shi Family were people that Shi JInnian had specially sent into the ring for Su Jingxing to kill.
As expected, all ten of them came from the collateral lines. The kind that were unwelcome and not well-liked at that.
The last five were not even in the ninth-grade. They were all ordinary people.
The moment they entered the ring, they began crying and shouting, wanting to kneel and beg for mercy. Su Jingxing slashed at them from a distance and sent them to meet their ancestors.
At this point, the duel came to an anti-climatic end.
When Li Linzhou announced the end of the duel, more than a hundred thousand spectators who were present had yet to snap back to their senses.
"W-what's going on? How did it end?"
"That's right. The beginning was so intense that it was either "next" or "boom boom boom". Why was there no commotion at the end?"
"Um, it's not that there's no commotion. It's mainly because the Lin Family's guest elder is too powerful. Now that he has recovered his strength and returned to the ring, if he were to fight freely, no one will be his match unless the Shi Family sends out a fourth-grade expert."
"The key is that even if they do send out a fourth-grade expert, he might not be able to defeat the Lin Family's guest elder!"
"Yes, the Lin Family's guest elder is too strong. Although he is only in the fourth-grade, he is born with innate divine strength. No one knows his true background. If they were to act rashly, they will pay with their lives."
"In any case, the outcome has already been decided. It's obvious that they've lost. Since that's the case, why send any fourth-grade experts? It's better to have ten bottom rung members of the Shi Family die than a fourth-grade member of the family die or suffer serious injuries!"
"Tsk tsk, I can only say that Shi Jinnian is really ruthless."
"Bullsh*t, he's just taking into account the bigger picture and preserving the Shi Family's effective strength!"
…
In the spectator stands, the crowd were in fervent discussions.
The last ten matches were so calm, or even uninteresting that it left one in a daze. Anyone with a bit of insight could see Shi Jinnian's intentions.
Stop the losses in time!
Even though Su Jingxing had make a clean sweep of most of the Shi Family's higher level martial artists, their strongest combat powers did not suffer any losses.
The two fourth-grade martial artists, Ji Min and Helian Xuezhen, were merely Guardians of the Shi Family.
From the beginning to the end, the fourth-grade experts of the Shi Family had never shown themselves.
As long as they were still around, the Shi Family would not fall.
The Li, Qi, Zhou and Wang families didn't dare to act rashly.
A martial artist in the fourth-grade, it would be fine if he was killed on the spot.
If they let him escape, he would be like a time bomb. They wouldn't even know when it would explode near them.
In particular, no one knew how many fourth-grade experts the Shi Family had.
Under such circumstances, who would dare to touch the Shi Family?
…
The remaining members of the Stone Annihilation Alliance were unwilling to accept this, but they could only choose to do so.
"Overall, this plan is very successful. Don't be discouraged."
In the isolated office, Shen Qian clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention. She encouraged, "The Shi Family has not been exterminated yet. Our battle is not over yet. For this, I hope that everyone will continue to work hard, continue to accumulate strength, and strive to completely wipe out the Shi Family next time!"
No one responded.
Everyone's eyes fell on Su Jingxing.
Everyone present knew very well that if they wanted to destroy the Shi Family, it would ultimately depend on Su Jingxing.
For them, even if they continue to work hard for another 50 years, there would still be no hope.
Shen Qian naturally understood this. When she spoke, she also looked at Su Jingxing.
"…"
Su Jingxing wanted to end the cooperation here. After all, the duel was over.
However, after thinking for a moment, he still said, "I'm sure everyone has seen that Shi Jinnian isn't the kind of person who gets hot-headed and impulsive easily. If he was such a person, he wouldn't be able to become the patriarch of the Shi Family. It can be said that as long as he's around, completely destroying the Shi Family will be quite impossible unless we have the help of powerhouses in the top ranks. More than one at that."
"Do we have powerhouses in the top ranks?"
"No!"
"Therefore, the annihilation of the Shi Family needs to be discussed at length.
"Continue to do what you have done previously.
"Of course, it's best to increase the surveillance on the Shi Family!"
At this point, Su Jingxing paused. "If you make any unexpected discoveries, you can contact me."
"Alright, we know what to do."
Shen Qian said happily, "Senior, don't worry. We will inform you immediately if we find anything!"
"…"
Fine.
The Stone Annihilation Alliance was still useful. Maintaining contact was more beneficial than detrimental to Su Jingxing.
Of course, if they wanted to make use of him, he could only say that they were courting death.
Su Jingxing didn't mind having a few more cards.
…
Back at his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Su Jingxing counted the gains from this duel.
A total of 79 people had died in his hands.
Therefore, a total of 79 functional cards were extracted.
Since most of them were descendants of the Shi Family, most of them were Bloodline Cards.
49 of them!
Each of them contained the Three Yin Candles Blood.
Su Jingxing set them aside and checked the other cards.
The remaining 30 were from Shi Family's guest elders and Guardians.
There were only two Guardians, Ji Min and Helian Xuezhen.
The cards extracted from both of them were Skill Cards.
Among them, Ji Min's was a secret ability, Sky Rocket Cannon.
This secret ability strove to use the body as a weapon. It had very high demands for one's physique.
Then, under the drive of true energy, lock onto a target. Like a projectile, the user would possess terrifying offense and destructive power.
When Su Jingxing and Ji Min were competing, Ji Min's entire body was glowing towards the end as he chased after Su Jingxing relentlessly. This was the secret ability he used.
As for Helian Xuezhen, a martial art was extracted.
Divine Spirit Control Technique!
Su Jingxing read the description carefully and found that it was actually a top-level control-type martial art.
Spirit Control, Spirit Control.
What it controls are spirit weapons!
Even a first-grade big shot would be greedy for such a martial art.
Helian Xuezhen really has a collection. God knows where he got them from.
That's right.
It was collect, not cultivate.
This was because the Divine Spirit Control Technique extracted from Helian Xuezhen's corpse was not only just a section of the entire thing, this section was also f*cking incomplete!
If Su Jingxing wanted to cultivate it, he would have to use many years in his Deduction Cards.
Therefore, even though he was tempted, Su Jingxing could only endure with the Divine Spirit Control Technique for now.
There were 28 cards left, 22 True Energy Cards, containing a range of five to 20 years cultivation.
The six Skill Cards all contained martial arts. Although five of them were good, they could not be compared to the Hundred Steps Reigning Fist. After Su Jingxing looked through them, he kept them in his palm space.
2
There was only one martial art that Su Jingxing thought was awesome.
Air Splitting Palm!

Chapter 125: Unprecedented
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This was a martial art with similarities to striking someone from a distance.
When released, it was silent, and when it erupted, it would sound like a thunderclap.
Its demands on true energy were not very high, and it could be applied to any attribute.
It was easy to learn the basics, but difficult to master.
If it was difficult to master, then perhaps that was a flaw.
However, because of this weakness, there were many people who cultivated this Air Splitting Palm.
At the very least, through Wan Rong's memories, Su Jingxing knew that all the major factions in Qinghe City had people who cultivated the Air Splitting Palm.
The reason for this was its origin. Its roots came from a dojo in Changyang Prefecture city.
That dojo had existed for more than a hundred years. The crowds who wanted to acknowledge a master from there, or pay to learn martial arts were endless.
In the dojo, other than ultimate arts that weren't leaked,
most of the other martial arts skills were leaked.
The Air Splitting Palm was one of them.
This martial art was not weak, but it was difficult to master.
There were many people who cultivated it, but few were successful.
After taking a closer look, Su Jingxing decided to learn it.
There was no problem with its origin and it was powerful enough. There was also a complete set of mental cultivation techniques and moves. It would be a loss not to learn it.
He unlocked the card immediately and absorbed all the information about the Air Splitting Palm.
After comprehending it a little and remembering the key points, he temporarily put it aside.
There was no hurry to cultivate martial arts and up his cultivation level.
He had yet to settle the 49 Bloodline Cards.
Su Jingxing wanted to see how much Thunderbolt could recover from feeding on 49 blood pearls.
Therefore, he unlocked the Bloodline Cards one by one and obtained Three Yin Candles Blood pearls of different sizes.
Every time he fed it one, the azure light on the surface of Thunderbolt would become brighter.
Without the stimulation of the big white goose's glow, Thunderbolt, after absorbing the Three Yin Candles Blood, automatically emitted green light.
49 Bloodline Cards, 49 blood pearls.
After absorbing all of them, the green light on the surface of Thunderbolt was almost as bright as a light bulb.
It slowly left Su Jingxing's palm and floated in midair.
While it radiated a green light, it spun gently.
"Not enough!"
Su Jingxing focused his attention on his spirit weapon and received sentient feedback from Thunderbolt.
Although it was vague, the meaning was there.
"Not enough? Almost?"
Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes.
It was within an inch of recovering completely. This was telling him to continue targeting the Shi Family.
He wondered how many direct and collateral descendants of the Shi Family were left after the duel.
…
The Shi Family's residence.
Bang!
A muffled sound echoed in the quiet hall.
Shi Jinnian, who had just finished giving instructions, stepped out from the inner room. When he saw the two men tied up and lying on the ground, he frowned and asked, "Who are they?"
"Patriarch, these two are from the Flying Cloud Sect."
A black-clothed martial artist with a cold aura replied.
"Flying Cloud Sect?"
On the left side of the hall, a middle-aged man with unibrow eyebrows sneered and said, "Now, even these underground gangs dare to provoke the Shi Family!"
"Alright, cut the crap." Shi Jinnian raised his hand and said in a low voice, "How's your progress with the task I handed you?"
"Don't worry. I never make mistakes." The unibrow man grinned.
"There is nothing wrong with being careful. No matter what happens, there cannot be any problems." Shi Jinnian said lowly.
"Alright, alright. I'm not a child." The unibrow man was a little impatient. He shifted his gaze and looked at the two people lying on the ground. "Big Brother, how should we deal with these two? Kill them directly, or…"
"Of course they'll be sent over there," Shi Jinnian said in a low voice. "The Old Man is about to succeed and is lacking manpower. These people have come just in time."
"Really?" The unibrow man was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Big Brother, the old man is finally going to succeed?"
"That's right, another hundred or so and it'll be over." Shi Jinnian was also a little excited.
"Great, that's wonderful!"
The unibrow man stood up and waved his fist in excitement. "He has finally succeeded. We waited for this day for 20 years… No, that's not right. We waited nearly a hundred years! Now, we are finally about to succeed!"
"Haha, as long as Old Man succeeds, Li Linzhou, the Li family, the Zhou family, and the Qi family will all kneel down and kowtow to me! Hahaha…"
The unibrow man couldn't suppress his excitement and laughed loudly.
"Calm down."
Although Shi Jinnian was overjoyed, he did not lose his composure like his younger brother.
The unibrow man was his biological brother from the same mother, Shi Jinlun.
In this duel, only five members of the Shi Family's "Jin" generation
Other than Shi Jinnian, Shi Jinlun was one of the four others.
For the "Yan" generation below, all those above 16 years old were dead.
And for the "Zhi" generation above, all below the fourth-grade were also dead.
There was no need to mention the guest elders and Guardians. They were all killed by Su Jingxing.
If not for the fact that the Shi Family still had a team of sacrificial soldiers and the two factions they controlled in secret, they would not have any manpower to mobilize.
Because of this, Shi Jinnian hated Su Jingxing, who hadn't revealed his identity from the beginning to the end, and the Stone Annihilation Alliance to the core!
"The Old Man is still lacking manpower. There are people in the Stone Annihilation Alliance. Lure out the remaining martial artists and capture them. Send them over there!"
Shi Jinnian ordered in a deep voice.
"Alright,"
Shi Jinlun clapped his hands and said, "I've been wanting to kill these small fries for a long time. Previously, they were hiding in the dark and were very vigilant. If anything went wrong, they would change their base and we'd missed them many times. Now that they've been exposed, they can forget about escaping!"
"Pay attention to the fourth-grade." Shi Jinnian thought of Su Jingxing and said with an overcast expression, "He might be with the Stone Annihilation Alliance. Don't show yourself."
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Shi Jinlun raised his hand.
"Also, you must capture the remaining martial artists of the Stone Annihilation Alliance alive. We don't want them dead," Shi Jinnian warned.
"Understood."
Shi Jinlun rolled his eyes. "I'll take care of this. Just wait for the good news. I'll cut the crap and get going first."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and quickly walked towards the main entrance, disappearing from Shi Jinnian's sight.
"Soon, soon."
Shi Jinnian looked at the night sky and muttered softly, but a hint of fanaticism suddenly flashed through his eyes.
…
In the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Su Jingxing put away Thunderbolt and took out his True Energy Cards.
The Shi Family was currently being watched by all the major and minor factions in the city. If he were to kill a Shi Family member and extract the Bloodline Card, the commotion would be too great.
Su Jingxing was in no hurry.
He could afford to wait for Thunderbolt to recover.
Before that, it was better to improve his cultivation level.
Su Jingxing compared the 22 True Energy Cards and left two as reserves. The rest added up to exactly 200 years of cultivation.
The 200 years of attributeless true energy was absorbed into his dantian and converted into Heaven Trampling True Energy.
Su Jingxing's true energy cultivation hence exceeded 300 years.
In the sixth-grade realm with 300 years of true energy cultivation.
Ignoring whether anyone will come close to this in the future, it was probably accurate to say that this was unprecedented.
Su Jingxing was overjoyed with this sudden 200-year increase, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He truly lacked experience, and the Ethereal Sword Immortal had not mentioned it either.
It made sense, how many people would be able to endure for 300 years in the sixth-grade?
This sudden spike in cultivation level naturally affected his physical body as well.
Smoke was rising from his head!
A way of giving names whereby descendants in the same generation have the same character in their names. Same generation means that they are of the same seniority in the family hierarchy, so these people are usually cousins or siblings..

Chapter 126: Automatic Breakthrough
His skin was red!
His exhaled breaths became arrows!
Eyes shining!
It was not a figurative description. They were really like electric lamps that emitted a blinding light.
It was clear that he could not go out in this state.
Su Jingxing could only apply for three days leave.
In these three days, he tempered his true energy while using the Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique to restrain his uncontrollable aura and vital energy.
Fortunately, the level of the Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique was high enough and its ability was outstanding.
Su Jingxing didn't sleep or rest. It took him two days and two nights to take care of this.
Now that he had reduced the anomalies in his body due to the rapid growth of his true energy,
Su Jingxing had learned his lesson from advancing rashly this time.
Although he could increase his true energy without limits with the help of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven, the consequences of doing so too quickly would still be unavoidable.
Smoke rising from the top of his head and his eyes glowing were still fine.
But if his ears, nose and limbs were to become bigger one day that would be a pain in the ass.
At the end of the day, it was safer to proceed step by step in whatever he did.
Excess is just as bad as deficiency. It might cause serious trouble in the future.
Of course, not many people could be like Su Jingxing, stepping into the sixth-grade before the age of sixteen and possessing true energy cultivation of more than 300 years!
Su Jingxing had asked the Ethereal Sword Immortal before.
On the surface, the lifespan of a first-grade powerhouse, the highest level martial artists could reach, was the same as that of ordinary people. They could live up to 120 years at most.
That was two cycles of 60 years.
In the past hundred years, through the use of heavenly treasures and high-level internal exercises, the highest level of true energy cultivation attained was 100 years.
Above that was true essence.
After all, true essence was a qualitative change in true energy, and it was even stronger.
Martial artists in the top ranks paid particular attention to their true essence cultivation.
True energy cultivation was the characteristic of martial artists in the middle ranks.
According to what the Ethereal Sword Immortal had revealed, the true essence cultivation of a first-grade expert was generally around a hundred years too.
300 years, regardless of whether it was true essence or true energy, Su Jingxing was probably the first.
After much effort, Su Jingxing managed to control himself. While he went to work, he continued to temper himself at night.
Repeated tempering of his true energy was like building a foundation, and the stronger the foundation, the better.
Others were anxious to make a breakthrough, but Su Jingxing wasn't.
Putting aside the mysteries of Nine Steps Trampling Heaven, just the True Energy Cards he extracted were enough for Su Jingxing to feel at ease and slowly strengthen his foundation.
Except.
After Su Jingxing had taken half a month to refine his 300 years of Heaven Trampling True Energy nine times, the true energy in his dantian had automatically turned into mist.
True energy turns into mist, this was a characteristic of fifth-grade!
"I didn't want to break through, but I did?"
Su Jingxing didn't know what to say.
He had wanted to wait, but his realm didn't wait for him and advanced by itself.
"Is it because I have too much true energy?"
After regaining his composure, Su Jingxing thought to himself while accepting the truth.
Since his true energy had turned into mist on its own, it should have nothing to do with the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven he cultivated.
Even if it did, the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven most likely played a very small role.
The real reason was probably due to the excessive true energy that he had accumulated was too much, and exceeded 300 years.
A qualitative change brought about by a complete change in quantity.
To put it simply, Su Jingxing's sixth-grade foundation couldn't be any more secure.
So secure that his realm advanced to the next level by itself.
Su Jingxing was relieved after thinking through all these.
With the most stable fifth-grade foundation, it would be much easier to break through to fourth-grade.
Of course, it would be best if it is another automatic breakthrough.
Cough cough!
Su Jingxing was secretly delighted.
At this moment, a soft sound came from the phone he had set aside, indicating that he had received a message.
Su Jingxing picked up his phone and unlocked it. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The next moment, he used an anonymous number to dial Shen Qian's number. When the call connected, he quickly asked, "What's the situation?"
"We don't know the details."
Shen Qian answered on the other end, "At first, we thought that we were caught because our whereabouts were leaked. However, after Yi Yunru and Cai Gongxian were caught, we realized that something was wrong. After careful analysis, we confirmed that the Shi Family was deliberately luring us. Yi Yunru and Cai Gongxian had tracked the traces left behind by the Shi Family. They followed them all the way and finally fell into the Shi Family's trap and were captured."
"Are you sure they were captured and not killed?" Su Jingxing lowered his voice.
"Yes," Shen Qian said in a more serious tone. "All of our remaining martial artists have installed a heartbeat tracker in our bodies, the kind that is embedded in our skin. Through the tracker, we can determine whether a person is dead or alive. As long as Yi Yunru and Cai Gongxian keep silent, no one will know that there is a little gadgetry hidden under their skin."
"With the help of this little gadgetry, not only will we know whether they are dead or alive, we will also be able to lock onto their movements and their final location!"
"Where are they now?" Su Jingxing asked.
"On a mountain peak that is part of the peripheral peaks northeast of the Green Cloud Mountain Range."
Shen Qian replied, "I've asked Xiaomao to mark the exact location on a map and send it to you."
"Alright, I'll take a look first."
Su Jingxing hung up and turned on his computer.
He first received an email, then opened it and looked at the route on the map.
As expected, the Shi Family was up to something again!
For the past two weeks, Su Jingxing had been receiving news about the Shi Family from Shen Qian.
Firstly, all the members of the Shi Family were holed up, staying in their estate all day long.
After that, the various factions sent many people to infiltrate the estate and investigate the situation, but none of those people came out.
Furthermore, the Shi Family was selling their businesses to the outside world, and it seemed like they no longer planned to stay in Qinghe City.
Finally, Yi Yunru, Cai Gongxian, Ye Jiuchong, and the remaining dozen or so martial artists of the Stone Annihilation Alliance were deliberately lured and captured by the Shi Family.
Of course, there was no problem with these people being captured.
The problem was that the Shi Family did not kill them!
This made everyone curious. They found it strange.
Members of the Stone Annihilation Alliance had self-destructed in the arena and killed more than ten Shi descendants.
They even cooperated with Su Jingxing and started a duel in the name of the Lin Family.
Logically speaking, the Shi Family should be itching to kill all those martial artists from the alliance.
However, the Shi Family did not. Instead, they secretly moved them to a mountain peak northeast of Green Cloud Mountain Range!
Su Jingxing, who had already been to the Turtleback Mountain that was southeastern of the Green Cloud Mountain Range, had no doubt that Yi Yunru, Cai Gongxian, Ye Jiuchong, and the others were currently held at another secret base of the Shi Family.
Why did the Shi Family lock them up in the secret base?
Something is wrong!
There is definitely something going on here!
Su Jingxing stared at the final location on the map for a while and decided to go take a look.
Saving people was a matter of convenience. Getting to the bottom of the Shi Family's conspiracy was secondary. Killing a group of Shi descendants and extracting the Bloodline Cards was the key.
Thunderbolt was just one step away from a complete recovery.
There were too many people watching if he were to take action in the city.
Outside the city, at the Shi Family's secret base, there would be no problem.
With Su Jingxing's true energy cultivation of more than 300 years, even if the Shi Family had ten fourth-grade experts, he would still dare to fight!

After all, if he couldn't win, would he be afraid of failing to escape?

After making his decision, Su Jingxing immediately turned off his computer and prepared to rush there overnight.
However, the moment the computer shut down, an idea struck him.
Then, he turned on his computer again and went to the official website of the Martial Suppression Office and sent an email to their official email address.
The contents of the email included the news of Yi Yunru, Cai Gongxian, Ye Jiuchong, and other martial artists from the Stone Annihilation Alliance being captured by the Shi Family, and that they were locked up on a mountain in the northeast of the Green Cloud Mountain Range. It also included a map of the route.
As for the heartbeat trackers and the like, he didn't mention them.
The Martial Suppression Office had sifted out people of the Shi Family, and those that remained were all from other major factions.
That's right. Su Jingxing had exposed this news not only to inform Li Linzhou, but also to get the other forces spying on the Shi Family to join in.
The secret base was a secret because no one knew where it was.
Now, Su Jingxing exposed its exact location.
He refused to believe that the Li, Zhou and Qi families, as well as the other influential factions in Qinghe City wouldn't be tempted and come take a look.
Su Jingxing had no doubt that after the Li Family received this map and news of martial artists from the Stone Annihilation Alliance being captured, they would definitely associate the final location on the map as the Shi Family's other secret base.
As long as they came, they would definitely make a move.
Su Jingxing couldn't guess how many fourth-grade experts the Shi Family had.
With the experts from the major family clans and factions, there was no doubt that there would be greater assurance.
As for betting that they would take action, it was because Su Jingxing would rush there in advance.
The small courtyard at the foot of the mountain was less than 60 kilometers away from the secret base northeast of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
With Su Jingxing's speed, he would arrive in about ten minutes.
He would arrive first, force his way in, and start a massacre.
When Li Linzhou, and people from major family clans and factions arrive, Su Jingxing didn't believe that they wouldn't take action and seize the good stuff during the chaos.
The secrets, information and items from the Shi Family's hundred years of foundation could not be all in the city.
A portion of it was placed in a secret base outside the city. That was for sure.
As for whether they find the treasures in the end, that had nothing to do with Su Jingxing.
Su Jingxing was not very concerned about the safety of Yi Yunru, Cai Gongxian, Ye Jiuchong and the others either.
They were not Gu Duoduo. It was already good enough that Su Jingxing could conveniently save them.
They could only blame their bad luck if they do die accidentally.
In order to make the chaos bigger, it was best if the Su Jingxing and the people of the major family clans and factions arrived one after another.
If their timings were too far apart, accidents might happen.
Such accidents could be Su Jingxing running away or someone from the Shi Family escaping.
However, with experts from the major family clans and factions participating, accidents were basically eliminated.
His considerations ended here.
After sending the email, Su Jingxing turned off his computer and quickly disguised his appearance. He put on his cloak and mask.
Then, he left the small courtyard and waited at the top of a building beside the main road that led out of the city.
He waited for half an hour before cars appeared at the intersection. They drove towards the Green Cloud Mountain Range with their headlights on.
Su Jingxing was not in a hurry to move. He was still waiting on the roof.
Sure enough, not long after, a second convoy appeared.
After a while, a third convoy appeared.
Su Jingxing waited until a total of six convoys appeared at the intersection before he soared into the sky.
He executed the Eight Steps Rising Dragon and flew towards the northeast of the Green Cloud Mountain Range against the night wind.
The journey was unhurried.
After all, the mountain paths were long and winding. The cars would take at least an hour to reach the location marked on the map.
If Su Jingxing were to arrive early, the probability of an accident was very high.
Calculating the time well, and leaving no less than a ten-minute interval would a perfect "alliance" be formed.
That's right, it was an "alliance".
Temporary allies who would destroy the Shi Family secret base and expose their conspiracies!
…
Whoosh!
The night wind blew, and the world was desolate.
Su Jingxing flew in a straight line in the air. It took him more than 20 minutes to reach his destination.
Executing the Ghost Python Breath-Concealing Technique and restraining his aura completely, Su Jingxing first found the entrance to the Shi Family's secret base.
Then, after about ten minutes, he circulated 60 years of true energy cultivation and slashed out.
Boom!
While a loud bang broke the silence in the mountain, he savagely knocked down a wall at the entrance of the base.
Amidst the billowing dust, Su Jingxing rushed in with his saber.
"Who is it!"
"Enemies are invading! Enemies are invading!"
"Where are they? Ah, where are they?"
"…"
Before Su Jingxing entered, the base was already in chaos.
One by one, the guards were roused from their dreams and hurriedly ran around with their guns.
To this——
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Su Jingxing swung his blade repeatedly.
Upwind Single Slash!
Sweeping River Army Slash!
Ascending Dragon Overlord Slash!
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Saber lights flashed and the blade rang.
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"
Miserable shrieks followed, spreading out of the base and echoing through the silent mountains.
The first convoy of cars arrived at the foot of the mountain. Hearing the commotion, the people who alighted from cars quickly grabbed their weapons and guns and dashed up the mountain.
Boom! Boom!
Su Jingxing held a treasure weapon in his hand. As he killed the guards and sacrificial soldiers guarding the base, he destroyed some of the facilities and caused an explosion, causing an even louder commotion.
Until he was stopped by a tall old man with a thin face and gloomy eyes. He was holding a longsword that was flickering with a dim light.
"Stone Annihilator, we haven't even gone to look for you, yet you dare to come here!?"
Killing intent shot out from the old man's eyes as his aura rose steadily.
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the longsword in his hand and it turned into a venomous snake, spitting out sinister and cold true energy and thrusting towards Su Jingxing.
Hu!
Su Jingxing slashed down.
Boom!
Saber energy and sword energy collided and dissipated.
The resulting shockwave crashed into the walls on the two sides and the ground, leaving deep marks.
Fourth-grade!
Once an expert made his move, the details were known.
The fourth-grade realm, the fluctuations of almost 60 years of true energy could not deceive.
As a result, even though Su Jingxing didn't know the old man opposite him, he knew that he was a fourth-grade expert and the sword technique he used was also the Shi Family's ultimate technique.
The Nine Yin Soul-Shattering Sword
This sword technique was crafty, vicious, fierce, and bone-chillingly cold.
Once it entered the body, only the internal exercise that was not masculine and hot could resist it.
Even though Su Jingxing managed to defeat it, the chilling aura around him was still there.
Energies surged, and Su Jingxing controlled his protective true energy to repel the surrounding aura.
At the same time, the treasure weapon in his hand was infused with Heaven Trampling True Energy as he continued to unleash his second slash.
However, the moment he slashed out, he suddenly turned around and released it behind him.
Swoosh!
Swish!
Boom!
The saber energy and sword energy whistled through the air simultaneously, colliding with one another and exploding into a ball.
The shockwave created by the force swept through the corridor.
Dust flew everywhere it passed.
Su Jingxing remained in the same spot and stood sideways.
Behind him was an old woman with her hair half black and half white. She also held a longsword in her hand as she stared coldly at Su Jingxing.
One in front and one behind, an old man and an old woman.
Two fourth-grades blocked Su Jingxing in the center of the corridor!

Chapter 128: Success!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"I knew that the Shi Family has quite a few fourth-grade martial artists."
Faced with the old man and the old woman's converging attack, Su Jingxing did not panic or fear. While he pondered inwardly, he decisively mobilized a hundred years of true energy cultivation.
Swoosh!
First, he slashed at the old man.
Ascending Dragon Overlord Slash, Human Origin section of the Three Origins Saber Art!
Boom!
The force of 100 years of Heaven Trampling True Energy gushed out along with the saber technique. It transformed into a massive wave of saber energy in midair and swept out with an unparalleled aura.
Before it even got close, shock appeared on the old man's face. In his haste, he didn't dare to hold back any longer. He channeled all of his true energy into his palm and delivered it into the treasure weapon in his hand.
With a swing of his long sword, a cold and icy sword aura was born in an instant. It transformed into numerous poisonous snakes that met the violent saber energy head-on.
Boom!
Boom!
The moment the sword energy and saber energy collided,
Su Jingxing had already turned around and clashed head-on with the old woman.
He did not brandish his treasure weapon. Instead, he executed the Hundred Steps King Fist. Similarly, he unleashed a hundred years of cultivation to send a punch straight at the old woman.
A silvery-black fist imprint appeared almost instantly, charging towards the ashen-faced old woman.
The old woman brandished the longsword in her hand as sword energy sliced through the air in an attempt to shatter the fist imprint.
Unfortunately…
Bam!
Boom!
A dull thud soon followed with an explosion.
The surging shockwave swept the airflow and generated rings of visible energies that wreaked havoc in the pathway.
The old man and old woman were sent flying by the saber energy and fist imprint one after another. In midair, they vomited blood.
Before they fell to the ground, an even faster shockwave wrapped around them. While stirring up their protective true energies, it pushed backwards with an even more aggressive force.
With two loud bangs, the powerful impact slammed the old man and old woman hard into a metal wall.
The terrifying force created a dent in the wall, causing it to deform severely.
The old man and the old woman were embedded in the depression. Even though they were still alive, they were unable to move. Disbelief could be seen on their pale faces as blood flowed out from the corners of their mouths.
One slash!
One punch?
They were all in the fourth-grade yet Su Jingxing had defeated the old man and the old woman with just one strike and one punch. This result was unacceptable to them.
Even though they could sense that the terrifying power contained in Su Jingxing's slash and punch was not something that an ordinary fourth-grade martial artist could possess.
But it was precisely because of this that the old man and old woman found the outcome difficult to accept.
They couldn't figure out how Su Jingxing had cultivated. How could someone's true energy cultivation be so terrifying?
The earlier slash and punch contained at least 80… no, 90 years of cultivation!
Or rather, 100 years?
Fourth-grade with a hundred years of cultivation?
The old man and the old woman's eyes were filled with shock at this thought.
"You…"
Swish! Swish!
A shrill sound of air breaking abruptly sounded.
The old man who opened his mouth with difficulty to say something, only saw a flash of white light pass his eyes before he lost consciousness.
Plkch!
A throwing dagger penetrated his head.
Plkch!
Another throwing dagger penetrated the old woman's head.
Fourth grade?
Under 100 years of Heaven Trampling True Energy cultivation, an ordinary fourth-grade was nothing more than this!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Retracting the two throwing daggers, Su Jingxing walked towards the old man and old woman and extracted a card from each person.
Then, he held them in his palm and read the descriptions while observing his surroundings.
As expected, both cards were Bloodline Cards.
Putting the cards into his palm space, Su Jingxing held his saber and continued moving deeper into the base.
Behind him——
"Kill! Kill all the members of the Shi Family!"
"Haha, luckily we came in time. Otherwise, there'd be nothing left for us."
"Old Shi, get out here!"
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Angry yells, snarls, and explosions sounded constantly.
The rest of the convoys had arrived. They rushed into the base and started killing, reaping the gains.
At the last secret base, as Su Jingxing was in a hurry to save the girls and had no time to search around, he missed the opportunity to collect the loot.
He only had two leftover buckets of Corpse Dissolving Liquid that he brought out from the equipment warehouse left in his palm storage.
This time, Su Jingxing was not in a hurry. Naturally, he had time to reap the rewards.
Of course, before that, he had to find some people first.
Why did the Shi Family capture Yi Yunru, Cai Gongxian, Ye Jiuchong and more but not kill them?
Su Jingxing searched with this curiosity. He killed all the guards and sacrificial soldiers he met and extracted cards.
Yet.
Even after Su Jingxing went deep into the base and searched every corner, he still couldn't find where the people were imprisoned.
Along the way, he didn't encounter a single expert from the Shi Family.
It seemed that the old man and old woman were the only fourth-grade experts in this base. And they were in charge of everything.
The martial artists from the Stone Annihilation Alliance were nowhere to be seen.
As if they weren't here to begin with.
Su Jingxing refused to believe this. He kept two people alive and questioned them on where the captives were locked up. The two guards actually answered that they didn't know.
"You don't know? How can you not know?"
Su Jingxing exerted strength in his hand and the treasure weapon he had against one of the guards' neck quickly cut open the skin on his neck. Fresh blood flowed out.
"I really don't know. Big Brother, Sir, Grandfather, I really don't know!"
The guard's entire body stiffened as he desperately begged for mercy. "We're just ordinary guards. The area here isn't under our jurisdiction. Every time there's an important matter, such as certain treasures being stored, the members of the Shi Family keep us away."
"Yes, yes, each ordinary guard is responsible for a different area." Another guard trembled as he added, "Sir, even if you kill us, we don't know where the secrets of the base are. Of course, there's a secret place that does exist here, but we don't know where exactly. Only members of the Shi Family do."
"What about those sacrificial soldiers?" Su Jingxing continued probing.
"Sacrificial soldiers?" The guard was stunned for a moment before realizing what Su Jingxing was referring to. "Sir, you're talking about the people from the Shi King Guards, right? They do know more than us, but those people are all brainwashed and only listen to the orders of the Shi Family. It's impossible to get them to reveal their secrets, because they will commit s*icide immediately."
"It's not s*icide, it's self-destruction!" The other guard continued, "Every member of the Shi King Guards possesses a secret ability that allows them to explode their bodies. Once they are caught, or when they know that they are sure to die, they will choose to self-destruct. While seriously injuring their opponents, they will also protect the secrets of the Shi Family."
"They're all crazy! They aren't human!"
"Sir, you must be careful when you meet them. Those guys have a one-track mind and will not give you a chance to react. During the self-destruction, even a fourth-grade expert would be injured."
Su Jingxing remained silent.
Clearly, the style of the Shi King Guards was unexpected.
It seemed like Su Jingxing had been fast enough the last time he destroyed the Shi Family's secret base at Turtleback Mountain.
The sacrificial soldiers of the Stone King Guards also wanted to stop him and did not self-destruct immediately.
Otherwise, if they had planned to plot against the unguarded him, he wouldn't have been able to save the girls so easily.
Of course, these two guards might still be holding back with the information they had shared, but that was basically everything.
Su Jingxing, who's soul power had been significantly boosted, could tell whether or not they were lying.
Therefore, that the sacrificial soldiers of the Shi King Guards could not be interrogated made things rather troublesome.
There was another secret place in the base, but few knew its exact location.
What to do?
"Big… big brother, no, great sir, l-look, I've already told you everything. Are you…"
The guards smiled stiffly and begged for mercy.
"Trying to leave?"
A low shout suddenly sounded.
Su Jingxing turned his head and saw five people armed with weapons walking towards him with murderous intent.
The leader was a burly man with a cold and domineering gaze.
As the group of people walked towards Su Jingxing, they shouted, "People from the Shi Family, you're thinking of leaving? You're dreaming! And you… you…"
He could not bring himself to finish his sentence.
The burly man looked at Su Jingxing with shock, fear and wariness in his eyes.
"What about me?" Su Jingxing countered in a low voice.
"No… nothing." The burly man laughed dryly and waved his hand. "We're just passing by. Yes, we're just passing by. Please continue, sir. We'll leave first."
With that, he turned around to escape.
"Yan, who scared you?"
An aged voice rang out. Another group of people walked over from behind the burly man.
The old man leading them narrowed his eyes and stared at the burly man with a shadow of a smile.
"Fourth Master Li, you came at the right time!"
The burly man, however, was delighted. Excitement appeared on his face. As he turned around, he pointed at Su Jingxing and introduced him to the old man, "Fourth Master Li, this big shot is here too. Didn't you say you wanted to meet him? Now you both have really bumped into each other this time."
The old man's expression changed when he heard this. When he got a clear look of Su Jingxing's attire, the corners of his eyes twitched madly.
He wanted to retreat, but he realized that Su Jingxing was already looking at him. He quickly stopped and forced a smile. He cupped his hands at Su Jingxing and said, "So it's Guest Elder Lin. What a coincidence. I didn't expect you to be here too."
"What? Guest Elder Lin is also here?"
Another voice sounded from behind the old man.
This time, it was the rough and deep male voice. When he heard the old man's words, his footsteps immediately quickened and he walked over heavily.
After a while, a muscular man with resolute features and sharp eyes appeared in front of Su Jingxing.
The moment he appeared, he spotted Su Jingxing. His eyes lit up as he cupped his hands from a distance and said, "It's really Guest Elder Lin. I didn't expect to meet Guest Elder Lin here. This is great. I'm Zhou Wencen from the Zhou Family. Greetings, Guest Elder Lin."
"Haha, I am Li Lilou from the Li Family. Greetings, Guest Elder Lin." The old man quickly added and introduced himself.
"Um, my name is Yan Yuanfeng." The burly man followed behind and introduced himself. "I'm the Deputy Sect Master of the Iron Thread Sect. If Guest Elder Lin does visit the Iron Thread Sect, I'll definitely let you taste the best tea leaves."
"Just tea leaves?" Zhou Wencen glanced at him and chuckled. "Don't tell me you can't bear to bring out your Iron Thread Silver Flower?"
"Of course I can. I'm only doing that when Guest Elder Lin comes." Yan Yuanfeng scowled at Zhou Wencen.
Then, he looked at Su Jingxing and smiled apologetically. "Guest Elder Lin, don't listen to this Zhou fellow sowing discord."
"Hey, when did I…"
"That's enough." Su Jingxing interrupted their nonsense and said in a low voice, "You guys must have come here to rescue people too, right?"
Su Jingxing had thought wrong previously.
He had forgotten that according to the information provided by Shen Qian and the rest, the major factions in Qinghe City had sent many people to visit the Shi Family estate at night. In the end, not a single person had returned.
These people were most likely captured here just like the martial artists from the Stone Annihilation Alliance.
Zhou Wencen, Li Lilou, and Yan Yuanfeng had brought men over firstly, to seize the opportunity to do some looting. And secondly, probably to rescue those people.
As for calling Su Jingxing "Guest Elder Lin", they had clearly regarded Su Jingxing as a guest elder of Lin Tuotian's Lin Family.
Little did they know that Su Jingxing and Lin Tuotian now had nothing to do with each other after the duel ended.
Of course, Su Jingxing didn't clear up this misunderstanding.
As soon as he asked this question, Li Lilou and the two others no longer hid anything from one another.
Zhou Wencen's expression turned serious. He answered first, "That's right. According to the information we received, our men have been captured here, but we don't know where they are being held."
"They don't know either?" Yan Yuanfeng looked at the two guards who were subdued by Su Jingxing.
"I just interrogated them. They only know that there is a secret place in this base, but they don't know where it is located," Su Jingxing said in a low voice.
"I also looked around and indeed, I didn't find any holding cells." Li Lilou agreed.
"Then what should we do?" Yan Yuanfeng frowned. "Is there an underground chamber here?"
"Definitely." Zhou Wencen nodded and analyzed, "There must be one. The key is where is it?"
"Unfortunately, Shi Zhirun and Shi Zhiyun are already dead." Li Lilou sighed.
"Yeah, those two would certainly know the location." Yan Yuanfeng sighed as well. "I wonder who killed them."
"If you're talking about an old man and an old woman, then I'm sorry, I killed them," Su Jingxing said calmly.
Uh…
The corners of Yan Yuanfeng's eyes twitched. He stood awkwardly on the spot again. He did not know if he should cry or laugh.
Li Lilou and Zhou Wencen weren't surprised.
Su Jingxing had even killed Helian Xuezhen and Ji Min. So what was Shi Zhirun and Shi Zhiyun to him?
If not for the fact that Su Jingxing was powerful, why would the two of them, both fourth-grades, keep him company and speak to him so politely?
It was because they knew how powerful Su Jingxing was, so they wanted to see if they could rope him into their family clan.
Li Lilou and Zhou Wencen each had their own plans.
Only, they did not share them out loud or show it on their faces.
"We don't know the location, this is troublesome…"
Boom!
A deafening sound suddenly came from the corridor on the right side of the corner where they were.
Accompanying the sound was the shaking of the floor and ceiling.
A strong smell of blood soon followed.
Li Lilou and Zhou Wencen's expressions changed drastically when they caught the scent.
"Not good!"
With that, the two of them pushed off their toes and flew towards the corridor that was the source of the commotion.
Their men quickly followed behind.
"What's going on?"
Yan Yuanfeng was confused.
Su Jingxing ignored him and also joined them in a flash.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Yan Yuanfeng shouted and followed behind.
His men ran behind him.
The group had just rushed into the corridor——
Boom!
Another loud crash shook the ceiling and floor again.
This time, after the crash, an excited laughter came from the depths of the passageway.
"Hahaha, it's a success, it's a success…"
Plkch!
There was a strange sound and the laughter was cut off abruptly.
Li Lilou, Zhou Wencen, and Su Jingxing were the fastest.
When they arrived at the source of the sound, they saw a large hole in the ground.
A tall figure covered in blood reached out and grabbed a unibrow man. A sharp claw pierced through his chest!
