Chapter 49: Horrifying

Yet another one?

Su Jingxing was starting to sympathize with the Black Tiger Gang.

The faction that Duan Feihong belonged to was too arrogant.

The joint operation by the Martial Suppression Office, the Public Security Team, and the prefecture army had not been called off.

Yet they had come out again to exterminate another branch of the Black Tiger Gang.

Such unbridled actions showed a clear disregard for the Martial Suppression Office!

“Do you really think you’re invincible?” Su Jingxing cursed silently to himself. He responded and asked Gu Bo to wait by the roadside while he headed over directly.

Fortunately, he removed his makeup and human-skin mask when he was showering. Otherwise, it would take him more time.

When he headed out, he took out the last Spirit Accumulation Pill and ate it to increase his extraction range.

On his way, he bought some food to eat in the car.

It was almost ten in the evening and Su Jingxing was only having his dinner now. Usually, Gu Bo would ask after him out of curiosity.

But presently, he was wearing a solemn expression and an anxious gaze.

Instead, Su Jingxing was curious and asked him what had happened.

He found out that the killing of the Black Tiger Gang’s branch this time had implicated the innocent.

A barbarian warrior in mechanical battle armor was also deployed this time.

However, it met the siege of two Black Tiger Gang’s protectors who were sixth-grade experts.

In the end, during the fight, a wall was destroyed and the battle area was extended beyond the Black Tiger Gang’s branch.

It caused a huge commotion and destroyed a stretch of buildings, implicating hundreds of people.

The casualty situation was unknown, but a conservative estimate was at least thirty people.

In other words, this matter had blown up even further!

Gu Bo’s anxiety came from the innocent people.

This was because one of his big brothers lived beside this Black Tiger Gang’s branch that was wiped out.

It was unknown if he was dead or alive.

Yet Gu Bo had a task to complete, even if he wanted to check, he had to hold back for the time being.

Su Jingxing didn’t know how to comfort him in this situation.

In the end, he and Kong Dabao both kept quiet.

In the silence, the corpse transportation truck sped along.

When they arrived at the scene, crying and shouting entered their ears.

Su Jingxing got out of the car and what greeted his eyes was a long stretch of buildings that were either semi collapsed, had cracked walls, or huge holes.

Half the houses on the street were destroyed.

The streets were full of potholes, broken street lamps, crushed cars, incomplete bodies, and dark red blood.

Horrifying!

A battle between two sixth-grade martial artists and a barbarian warrior in mechanical battle armor had implicated half the streets and resulted in hundreds of casualties.

Faced with the wails everywhere, Gu Bo forcefully suppressed his panic and led Su Jingxing, Kong Dabao, and the others towards the building where the Black Tiger Gang’s branch was located.

There were already people doing resuscitation work on the street outside.

The injured were sent to the hospital by the ambulance while the dead were temporarily placed aside.

The corpses in the building, however, had not been taken care of. They must be moved to the crematorium as soon as possible.

[Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]

“Yes!”

[Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]

“Yes!”

…

Su Jingxing extracted cards as he walked briskly.

When he arrived outside the Black Tiger Gang’s branch building——

[Barbarian Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]

“…Yes!”

As he responded inwardly, he quickly swept his eyes around and found the corpse of the tall barbarian in mechanical battle armor lying in the ruins of a collapsed house beside the building.

Su Jingxing happened to extract it as he passed by the entrance.

At the periphery of the ruins was a corpse with a group of people standing beside it.

[Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]

“Yes!”

Even though Su Jingxing only took a quick glance before following Kong Dabao into the Black Tiger Gang’s branch building that contained several huge holes, he still recognized half of the people in the group.

The Martial Suppression Office’s Western District Commissioner of Command, Qi Zhaochen!

The head of the Black Tiger Gang, a fifth-grade expert Ouyang Qinhu!

The Martial Suppression Office’s Western District Chief of Control, Sun Ye!

The City Guard of Qinghe City, Pan Biming!

The Sect Master of the Flying Cloud Sect, Shen Xinlan! The General of the prefecture army, Chu Weiliang!

As well as the number one expert of Qinghe City, Commander of City Governance of the Martial Suppression Offices, Li Linzhou!

The group of big shots surrounded the ruins and had a discussion in low voices as they looked at the barbarian warrior in mechanical battle armor.

Su Jingxing activated his Advanced Hearing and after listening for a while, he figured out that the corpse placed outside the ruins was one of the Black Tiger Gang’s two protectors who fought the barbarian warrior.

These two sixth-grade experts fought the barbarian warrior. In the end, one died and the other was heavily injured.

The severely injured one had already been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, while the dead one was temporarily left at the scene.

In other words, the reward in the card that Su Jingxing had extracted would be quite significant!

He didn’t have the time now to find out what it was.

One of the reasons why so many buildings were destroyed was because the mechanical battle armor worn by the barbarian warrior had terrifying destructive power. One punch could penetrate a wall.

Together with the barbarian warrior’s own strength, it crushed buildings faster than an excavator did.

Of course, the real reason why the aftermath of the battle affected half a street and left hundreds of people either dead or injured was that the two protectors of the Black Tiger Gang were not strong enough. Although they were in the sixth-grade, they were defeated in the battle and wanted to escape. The barbarian warrior had chased them to the street.

If today’s situation had been like what happened the previous Black Tiger Gang’s branch was destroyed,

where Ouyang Feihu and the barbarian warrior had perished together in the branch, there wouldn’t have been so many casualties.

In a way, the Black Tiger Gang was also responsible for this incident.

The perpetrator was clearly targeting the Black Tiger Gang!

Never mind if only the Black Tiger Gang members had died.

Now that it implicated innocent people, that would not do.

The culprit must be found and eliminated, and the Black Tiger Gang must be dealt with as well!

The impact of this incident was terrible.

One didn’t need to guess to know that starting tomorrow, the Western District would be in a state of panic.

The Black Tiger Gang had a total of seven branches. Including the headquarters, there were eight locations to attack.

Now that two had been destroyed, there were still six places left.

As long as the perpetrator was not eliminated, the people around these six places would have to bear the threat of an attack that could befall anytime.

No one could give any guarantees for such matters.

To put it bluntly, the perpetrator had brazenly wiped out the Black Tiger Gang. In doing so, only have they slapped Li Linzhou in the face, they have also slapped the faces of all the government organizations in the city.

If the perpetrator was not caught and executed, they would all have to step down from their positions!

Fortunately, the barbarian warrior had been exposed in this operation.

With the officials going all out, the clues were quickly found.

Su Jingxing moved the corpses out of the building. As he passed by, he heard someone picking up a call.

“We’ve locked onto the area where the barbarian first appeared.”

Good!

Everyone was excited.

Su Jingxing was also secretly delighted. He was curious as to who the mastermind behind the massacre of the Black Tiger Gang branches was, but he didn’t think much of it.

However, the corpse of a barbarian represented something good.

Martial Arts Practice Card.

The help that the Martial Arts Practice Cards gave Su Jingxing was very important.

Of course, could the Martial Arts Practice Card be extracted from all barbarian corpses?

Su Jingxing was not sure yet. He could only say that there was a higher probability.

Whether it was true or not, he would have to go back and check.

And this wait lasted the entire night.

By the time Su Jingxing finished moving the corpses and documenting their information, it was almost dawn. He only found time then to take out the card from the barbarian’s corpse and check it.

And as it turned out…
