God-Like Extraction

Chapter 94: Defeated

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Not sixth-grade, but fifth-grade!

Almost every fifth-grade expert was a leader, chief, or boss of a faction.

Nie Renchou evaded the investigations by the Martial Suppression Office, the Shi Family, and the Radiant Sword Dojo. Now that he had killed another fifth-grade expert early in the morning, it would be strange if it wasn’t breaking news.

“I’ll be there right away!”

After hanging up the call, Su Jingxing quickly pulled on his clothes, grabbed a slice of bread as breakfast, and went straight to the crematorium.

…

In the early morning, the crematorium would usually be very quiet, but today, it was especially lively.

Nie Renchou had attacked again and successfully escaped after. Everyone was especially excited.

The person who died this time was as everyone had guessed, still a sword expert.

Nie Renchou’s title of a sword fanatic was firmly cemented.

The person who died was called Ma Zhengyang. He was the general manager of Tai Long Corporation’s Qinghe City branch office.

The Tai Long Corporation was a famous corporation in Changyang Prefecture. Its headquarters was located in the prefecture city.

Even though the branch office in Qinghe City was just a branch office, it was still very powerful.

As the general manager, Ma Zhengyang was a frequent guest of the City Guard Office. He was their distinguished guest.

With his realm in the fifth-grade, he had never slipped up.

Yet this morning, he died under Nie Renchou’s sword. It was truly shocking.

Regarding this, the people had more and more guesses about Nie Renchou’s true realm.

Was he a sixth-grade? Or a fifth-grade?

…

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

“Yes!”

In the morgue, Su Jingxing, who had rushed here, glanced at Ma Zhengyang’s corpse and responded inwardly.

“Unexpected isn’t it? Hehe, no one expected Nie Renchou to go to Ma Zhengyang instead of people from the Shi Family.”

Feng Tiejian stood to the side and winked. “Now that Nie Renchou has made his move again, the Shi Family and the Martial Suppression Office are probably hopping mad. This is totally a slap on their faces!”

“As far as I know, the Shi Family and Martial Suppression Office searched the entire city last night. They mobilized all their manpower to search for Nie Renchou through the night.”

“In the end, in the early morning Nie Renchou stopped Ma Zhengyang who was heading out and killed him on the street!

“I heard that when Ma Zhengyang saw Nie Renchou, he was completely stunned. Faced with Nie Renchou’s sudden attack, he only had enough time to block two moves before Nie Renchou pierced through his heart with a single strike. He did not die in peace!”

“…Are you saying that Ma Zhengyang and Nie Renchou know each other?” Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows.

“Who knows?” Feng Tiejian shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands. “It was just hearsay. Not many people know if it’s true or not. When Nie Renchou appeared, the people nearby didn’t react at all. Only when he killed Ma Zhengyang did they cry out in alarm and call the crematorium.”

“Then it’s probably fake,” Su Jingxing muttered.

“Sigh, who cares whether it’s true or false.” Feng Tiejian waved his hand and said dismissively, “Whether Ma Zhengyang knows Nie Renchou or not doesn’t matter anymore. He’s already dead. Whether they’re acquainted or not, it’s all in the past.”

“You’re right.” Su Jingxing smiled.

Inwardly, he had already prepared himself for this.

Nie Renchou had appeared too suddenly. He had jumped out without any prior warning.

Furthermore, he had killed Ouyang Qinhu in a single strike. His identity and background were extremely mysterious.

Su Jingxing had a feeling that Nie Renchou had his motives for coming to Qinghe City!

And it wasn’t just like what the masses thought, that he was a sword fanatic who specially sought out experts to challenge them for his path of the sword.

Of course.

It was a good thing for Su Jingxing that Nie Renchou was killing these people.

…

After leaving the morgue, he found a remote corner and took out the card he had extracted from Ma Zhengyang’s corpse. Holding it in his hand, he read the information.

A Skill Card!

Unlocking it, he obtained a martial art, the Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique.

The Ghost Python was a kind of cold and terrifying Mutated Beast. In its dormant state, it was no different from an inanimate object.

The Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique was an ultimate technique that was simulated based on this Mutated Beast.

Once mastered, one would be able to control his aura, martial arts vital energy, flow of true energy, and even his normal breathing and heartbeat!

This martial art was extremely helpful in hiding, and ambushing.

Although only the first half of the volume was available, Su Jingxing was still overjoyed.

Without it, it would be very troublesome for Su Jingxing to control his sixty years of true energy cultivation.

He had to split half of his attention to restrain it all day so that no one would notice.

Furthermore, this was not a situation where he had to make a move. Once he were to do so and circulate his true energy, he would be exposed immediately. There would be no way to bring it back under control.

The acquisition of the Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique had come at a perfect time. It was simply a pleasant surprise.

Good man…

Like Wan Rong, Nie Renchou is also a “good man”!

Su Jingxing sighed with emotion.

He could not be bothered to guess Nie Renchou’s motive for coming to Qinghe City anymore.

Who cares what he would do, as long as this sword fanatic continued to challenge martial artists in the middle ranks and kill sixth-grade and fifth-grade experts, to Su Jingxing, it would be a free lunch.

True Energy Card, Bloodline Card, Skill Card…

The more the better!

Su Jingxing looked forward to it.

…

Unfortunately.

Before noon, they received news that Nie Renchou had been defeated!

“A Commissioner of Defense of the Martial Suppression Office tracked down Nie Renchou. The two of them had a battle beside an amusement park. Nie Renchou was no match for him and was heavily injured. He fled in a sorry state.”

Feng Tiejian stood in the crowd and explained excitedly with great gestures.

“That’s a pity. The Commissioner of Defense is also a fifth-grade martial artist. If Nie Renchou were to launch a surprise attack, he would probably succeed.” Someone sighed.

“You’re thinking too much. It’s not like everyone in the fifth-grade is the same. Some people are very capable, some not so much. Forget about everything else, a Commissioner of Defense from the Martial Suppression Office is definitely an expert among experts! It is reasonable that Nie Renchou was defeated by him.”

“Right, if the Martial Suppression Office isn’t a match for him, then we’ll have to be careful. Who knows if Nie Renchou will attack us ordinary people if he goes berserk from killing?”

“That’s right. Nie Renchou killed Ouyang Qinhu, Shi Jindong, Shan Jiantong, and Ma Zhengyang. He has made a name for himself, a killing!”

“…”

The casualties of the upper echelons were just a show worth watching for the lower echelons.

But the Martial Suppression Office was different.

The Martial Suppression Office was a shield, a wall, and a giant blade that protected the people’s peaceful lives.

With this blade, shield, and wall, the people below would be able to sleep in peace.

If the shield cracks, the wall collapses, and the blade breaks, it would definitely cause panic. Everyone in the city would panic.

So.

Nie Renchou’s defeat at the hands of the Commissioner of Defense was a good thing for the public.

While Su Jingxing found it a pity, he didn’t take it to heart.

A single Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique was already a great harvest, let alone the rest.

Instead, it was Feng Tiejian who would sigh from time to time.

Without a topic of conversation, he became bored again and thought about playing all day long.

Three days after Nie Renchou was heavily injured and went into hiding, an annual festival was held in the Cloud Sea Square in the central district.

This fellow forcefully dragged Su Jingxing, Gu Bo, Kong Dabao, and the rest of Team One who were on leave to join in the fun.

After shopping for half an hour, Su Jingxing made an excuse of having a stomachache and went home.

Without the Martial Arts Practice Card, it would take time to master the Ghost Python Breath-holding Technique.

For the past few days, Su Jingxing had been practicing this martial art day and night, but he was still a step away from the introductory state. He had no time to waste on playing.

In the end.

He had just returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain when he received a group message on his phone.

A Corpse Puppet has suddenly appeared in Cloud Sea Square!
