God-Like Extraction

Chapter 112 - 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!
