Chapter 78: Another Branch Wiped Out

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Would the two patriarchs of the Shi Family not have the Three Yin Candles Blood?

99%, they do!

The combat ability of the patriarch of a martial art family clan was the foundation.

If one’s combat strength was lacking, no matter how outstanding one’s abilities were, one would not be able to become the patriarch.

Even if he does manage to become one, he would not be able to hold the position for long.

The logic was simple.

The people below would not be convinced!

For example, would a fourth-grade martial artist listen to the whims of ordinary people?

Most would not!

A small part would, but because of other reasons.

This was especially so for the patriarch. If his own strength was insufficient, he wouldn’t even know when he has been assassinated by the enemy forces.

Finally, the Shi Family’s ultimate technique, the true energy internal exercise, Cold Smoke Mantra, combined with the Three Yin Candles Blood made a perfect match.

Not only would the cultivation speed be fast, the might was also stronger.

The two patriarchs of the Shi Family had no reason to refuse it.

Not to mention that it wouldn’t make sense that Shi Yankai, who was also an abandoned and useless junior of the Shi Family, had the Three Yin Candle Blood yet the patriarchs do not.

Therefore, the two patriarchs of the Shi Family do have the Three Yin Candles Blood.

The reason they were able to achieve their current strength was most likely due to this bloodline.

Besides, the information provided by the Bloodline Card would not be wrong.

As long as one has the Three Yin Candles Blood, it was inevitable that one would not be able to escape to abilities and limitations of the bloodline.

There must be a reason why the two patriarchs of the Shi Family, including the other members of the family who have passed the age of 49, are still alive.

The move to seize Shi Yankai’s corpse might be related to this secret!

Su Jingxing played with the card, deep in thought.

The function of the Bloodline Card was the same as the Skill Card. Once unlocked, it could be absorbed directly.

Su Jingxing could instantly obtain the power of the Three Yin Candles Blood.

Of course, he would also inherit the disorder of only living till 49 years old.

It was better not to have such a bloodline.

When it came to cheating, Su Jingxing was not afraid of others.

After playing with it for a while, Su Jingxing put the card back into his palm space.

While Su Jingxing was curious as to how the Shi Family would solve the problem of the Three Yin Candles Blood, he did not intend to delve into it.

After all, the flaw of the bloodline was only targeted at the members of the Shi Family. It could not affect outsiders.

…

In the afternoon.

Su Jingxing took over from Kong Dabao. He moved the corpses diligently and extracted cards.

After taking a week off, Su Jingxing’s partner had changed.

The crematorium’s Corpse Collection Team had many members. They had newcomers joining them every month, of course, there were also people leaving.

Not many people survived the six months of internship.

The partners in each group were therefore not fixed.

Su Jingxing’s new partner was a man of few words. Basically, if Su Jingxing did not ask, he would remain silent.

After an entire afternoon, Su Jingxing figured out the other party’s personality and was content and happy.

At night, he continued to move the corpses and extract cards.

Now, Su Jingxing stored up the Essence Energy Cards and Strength Enhancement Cards.

He would unlock them when he got home. He would put the Essence Energy Pills and Strength Pills obtained in their respective jars for use.

Just like the Internal Force Card, when he accumulates one hundred years of cultivation, he could convert it into a year of Heaven Trampling True Energy.

Of course, compared to the Internal Force Card, Su Jingxing preferred the True Energy Card.

Unfortunately, very few sixth-grade martial artists died.

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

“Yes!”

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

“Yes!”

…

The boring yet happy days lasted for several days.

He had already accumulated 400 Essence Energy Pills and 350 Strength Pills.

The latter was still a good half away from his target.

Only after gathering 1,000 Strength Pills and transforming into the Demonic Elephant Physique would he have no worries.

One morning, Su Jingxing was about to get off work when he suddenly received a notification to go into the city to collect corpses.

The location was a branch of the Black Tiger Gang.

That’s right, another branch of the Black Tiger Gang had been wiped out!

Su Jingxing, who was rushing to his destination, sat in the car and was speechless for a while.

Hasn’t Duan Feihong and his people been arrested?

How did the Black Tiger Gang targeted again? And another branch was annihilated?

“What an unlucky year. This year is clearly the Black Tiger Gang’s year of calamity. Never mind if they do survive, but if they don’t, the Black Tiger Gang will most likely be wiped out!”

The driver sighed.

“It’s normal. Underground gangs don’t last long to begin with. Every few years, a new batch will be formed.”

“Sigh, while they change batch after batch, we will be the ones tired.”

“That’s right. It’s almost time to get off work but we still got dispatched. Speaking of which, is there anyone guarding the Black Tiger Gang’s branch at this time?”

“Who knows? Maybe the culprit had had his eye on it for a long time but only made a move in the early hours.”

“…”

The corpse collectors who were dispatched started discussing among themselves.

At two or three in the morning, there shouldn’t be many people left behind in the branch. However, when the Martial Suppression Office called the crematorium, they requested for three teams to collect the corpses.

There was clearly something wrong here.

Although Su Jingxing did not say anything, he was still curious.

However, compared to other people’s complaints, Su Jingxing was happy.

The common people would only be happy if the gang members were dead.

To Su Jingxing, each time the Black Tiger Gang loses a branch, he would reap a bountiful harvest.

If possible, it will be best if the Black Tiger Gang is wiped out.

Cough! Cough!

…

The corpse transportation truck sped along the empty streets in the early morning.

Soon, they arrived at the destroyed branch of the Black Tiger Gang.

When they arrived at their destination, Su Jingxing and company finally understood why the Martial Suppression Office had asked for three teams.

Because this time, it was a group of people who attacked the branch.

Dressed in black, their faces were covered. Everyone’s weapons were the same.

A horizontal blade to the Tang Dao1, they were all semi-treasure weapons.

These people began fighting against the Black Tiger Gang’s men who were guarding the branch.

In the end, a total of 35 Black Tiger Gang members, including the Branch Master, were all killed.

The men in black also left behind sixteen corpses. Their companions could not take them away in time.

From what the people from the Martial Suppression Office related, the commotion from this battle was extremely small. Not many people in the vicinity had noticed it, and there were no special silencers on the scene.

In other words, the 35 people from the Black Tiger Gang who were guarding the branch seemed to know that someone would come to visit tonight!

This was interesting.

One side launched a sneak attack in the wee hours while the other was waiting.

In the end, the Black Tiger Gang lost.

What kind of dispute was this? The highest ranked official from the Martial Suppression Office that was here immediately carried out an “investigation”.

While Su Jingxing was moving the corpses, he activated his Advanced Hearing to listen.

He really did hear something.

To snatch a treasure!

The Black Tiger Gang had recently obtained a unique treasure. This was originally a top secret, but it was unknown who leaked it first, and the news spread.

Needless to say, it attracted people from all circles to inquire about the Black Tiger Gang.

After confirming the news, they immediately began to seize it.

The head of the Black Tiger Gang was unwilling to let it go just like that, so he assigned his subordinates to guard against other people coming to them.

This was not the first wave.

Prior to this, the other branches of the Black Tiger Gang had already encountered the infiltration of people from all circles, and they had already started a head-on clash.

However, Ouyang Qinhu had not expected the people who had stayed behind to guard the branch to be completely wiped out.

“You didn’t think of that? You’re just greedy!”
