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…
