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.

There was only one martial art that Su Jingxing thought was awesome.
Air Splitting Palm!
