Chapter 100  : The Blade Flashed, A Head Fell

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.

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!
