Chapter 116 : A Head Falls With One Strike
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!
