Chapter 132  : New Card

Shi Jinnian murmured.

In the past, his expression was either somber or composed. Now, his face was covered in confusion.

Failed?

We paid so much money, expended lots of resources and killed so many people.

In the end, he actually failed?

Why?

Shi Jinnian could not figure it out.

It seemed that over the past month or so, things have never gone right for the Shi Family.

People died every few days.

Today, almost everyone in the Shi Family who could contribute in terms of strength had died.

Initially, I thought that all these could be made up once the Old Man succeeded.

Now, the Old Man is also dead.

What else does the Shi Family have left?

Shi Jinnian sat in the courtyard, staring blankly at the sky.

“Dad, Dad, something bad has happened.”

An urgent and nervous shout could be heard. A teenager around 14 or 15 years old ran towards Shi Jinnian in panic.

“Dad, it’s bad. We’ve been surrounded. All of us are restricted to the estate. We can’t leave.”

Fear was written all over the young man’s face. He shivered and swung his hands as he spoke.

“…It’s fine.”

Shi Jinnian regained his focus and said calmly, “Pass down my orders. Don’t panic. We’re just temporarily restricted. It will be lifted very soon.”

“Re-really?” The youth hesitated. “Dad, it’s fine if the people outside are all from the Martial Suppression Office, but I heard that the Li, Zhou, and Qi families are also here. Will they rush in and start a massacre?”

“They won’t,” Shi Jinnian said with certainty. “What they want are our assets, not people. And with the Martial Suppression Office here, they won’t dare to kill indiscriminately. Go, tell the others not to panic, just listen to the Martial Suppression Office’s arrangements.”

“…Alright.” The young man nodded and turned around to inform the others.

Shi Jinnian remained where he was, gazing at the sky as he muttered to himself.

“You want to devour the Shi Family? Fine, I’ll give it all to you…”

…

In the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

Su Jingxing took out all the cards he had extracted on this trip.

The cards came from the people who stayed behind to keep guard in the Shi Family’s base and the people who were killed in the cave.

There were more than 600.

Su Jingxing was most concerned about the card he had extracted from Shi Zhinie’s corpse.

Holding it in his hand, he read the description.

Regeneration Card!

Another new card.

As the name suggested, the Regeneration Card could regenerate any organ.

Even if his head was cracked or his heart was torn, as long as he could unlock the card within three seconds, the organ would regenerate.

Of course, there was a prerequisite to regenerating the head and heart.

One’s consciousness must remain!

This was the prerequisite for using the Regeneration Card.

Only when one’s consciousness was not destroyed could any organ be regenerated.

Therefore, Su Jingxing could at most be able to regenerate all the other organs except the heart.

Including his limbs.

If his head and heart were broken, he would still die.

Though it was said that it would work so long as his consciousness remained intact within the three seconds of unlocking, but, if his head was gone, would his consciousness still exist?

Perhaps for a martial artist in the top ranks, after condensing their Martial Art True Intent, their consciousness would still remain for a short period of time even when their head was broken.

The Ethereal Sword Immortal had mentioned this before. When Martial Art True Intent has been cultivated to profundity, it was said that it could separate itself from the body and exist independently.

If the physical body was destroyed, the Martial Art True Intent could still remain.

The Ethereal Sword Immortal wasn’t sure how that could happen.

In any case, it was impossible for someone in the lower or middle ranks to achieve.

Su Jingxing could only treat this Regeneration Card as a super strong self-healing card and not a resurrection card.

For instance, Shi Zhinie was filled with extremely powerful vitality when he was alive.

Without the joint efforts of Su Jingxing, Li Lilou, and the others that continually destroyed his body, this formidable figure would not have died.

Using the Regeneration Card as a super strong self-healing card was the correct way to use it.

This card was also a life-saving trump card.

Su Jingxing put it away solemnly and placed it at the outermost area of his palm space.

He calmed his mind and checked the other cards.

Six Bloodline Cards, too little, but also within expectations.

Three True Energy Cards, unexpected gains. I’ll keep all of them as backup.

One Memory Card. Surprise!

There were 28 Skill Cards, among which were seven skills such as cooking, dancing, sculpting, drawing, sketching, or other life skills.

The rest were all martial arts. The martial arts were average. Su Jingxing put them aside.

Internal Force Cards. The cultivation levels varied. The least was half a month, while the most was six years.

This number of Internal Force Cards meant that there were this many martial artists in the lower ranks who had died in the cave to provide Shi Zhinie with blood.

The remaining cards were either the Strength Enhancement Cards or Essence Energy Cards.

Su Jingxing unlocked them one by one and stored the Strength Pills and Essence Energy Pills he had obtained separately.

He also unlocked all the Internal Force Cards. Combined with the ones he had left from before, he had about 200 years of cultivation. He absorbed them and converted them into Heaven Trampling True Energy, increasing his cultivation by two years.

Accumulated true energy cultivation, 304 years.

Su Jingxing, who was already in the fifth -grade, went through another round of tempering.

A moment later, he unlocked the six Bloodline Cards and fed the Three Yin Candles Blood to Thunderbolt.

Immediately after, he probed this spirit weapon. It was still an inch away from a complete recovery.

Su Jingxing was not in a hurry.

There were still members of the Shi Family who were alive. He was confident that he could make up for the last bit.

The reason why he was so confident was because the only Memory Card he extracted contained the life memories of a person named Shi Tianjing.

Shi Tianjing, an orphan adopted by the Shi Family since young, a sacrificial soldier!

He was 35 years old this year, but was already a sixth-grade martial artist. He almost made it to the fifth-grade.

Like Nie Renchou, he was one of the team leaders of the Shi King Guards, the leader of a small group of sacrificial soldiers.

Su Jingxing unlocked the card and watched Shi Tianjing’s life.

He was fortunate enough to “see” a hidden secret of the Shi Family.

There was a secret passage beneath the Shi Family’s residence that led to the underground carpark of a building 800 meters away.

That building did not belong to the Shi Family. It was managed by a hidden faction under their control.

After they lost the duel, Shi Jinnian had Shi Jinlun open up this passageway, preparing to evacuate the remaining elites of the Shi Family.

Shi Tianjing was one of the participants.

Shi Tianjing had also been to the last secret base of the Shi Family and knew where it was located.

The Shi Family’s sacrificial soldiers were trained from a young age. They had nurtured a belief that they would rather die than reveal anything.

If they were caught, they would self-destruct.

This indeed ensured that Shi Tianjing, Nie Renchou, and the other sacrificial soldiers could do a final counterattack before they died.

And had ensured that no outsiders would know about the Shi Family’s secrets.

But.

Shi Jinnian would never have dreamed that Su Jingxing could extract cards from corpses!

He also extracted the Memory Cards from Shi Tianjing and Nie Renchou’s corpses.

Through the two Memory Cards, Su Jingxing learned of most of the Shi Family’s secrets!

Underground passageway, the last secret base, Shi Jinnian’s evacuation plan.

These were left in plain sight for Su Jingxing to admire.

Knowing Shi Jinnian’s route of retreat, finishing them off and obtaining the Bloodline Cards would be a breeze.

Of course, in order to maximize the effect, Su Jingxing didn’t plan to take action in the city.

He was going to follow Shi Jinnian to the last secret base of the Shi Family and capture all the remaining members of the Shi Family in one swoop!
