Chapter 156: There Is Really Someone Targeting Me!

More than ten years of growing was shortened to two months.
Su Jingxing’s efforts were not in vain.
Indeed.
Great factions had the greatest collection of heavenly treasures like Energy Gathering Stones.
It would take a very long time for him to purchase and such a big amount from independent martial artists
Su Jingxing would find a year or two slow, let alone a decade.
Now all was good.
The Energy Gathering Stones that he had obtained from the Li, Zhou and Qi families successfully resolved his troubles.
Within two months, he would be able to get large amounts of Concentration Fruits, increase his soul power, and visualize a condensed Heaven Trampling Elephant.
Once the Heaven Trampling Elephant was successfully visualized, it could run and roar in his consciousness.
Then Su Jingxing would then have the confidence to clash with Martial Art True Intent.
The true meaning of Martial Art True Intent was to disrupt reality with one’s mind, using attacks and suppression targeted at the soul level.
The Demonic Elephant Stomp was also a mental attack.
With powerful soul power, the terrifying pressure of Martial Art True Intent would basically become a decoration, ineffective against Su Jingxing.
So.
For the next two months, Su Jingxing would wait patiently.
It wouldn’t be too late to pay attention to the 400-year-old He Family after he successfully visualized the Heaven Trampling Elephant.
…
Hence.
In the subsequent days, Su Jingxing went to work at the crematorium every day, arriving early and leaving late.
In the eyes of others, there was nothing else to say.
Although Su Jingxing was nowhere to be seen on the first day of his promotion, over the past few days, Su Jingxing arrived earlier and left later than anyone else.
With such a professional attitude, no one could say anything.
They couldn’t ask Su Jingxing not to work so hard, could they?
The duties of the vice-captain of the security team were actually very light. He just needed to appear occasionally and patrol the area.
Su Jingxing, on the other hand, patrolled almost every two hours, forcing the rest of the security team to follow suit.
Of course, after Wu Shouhan cracked down on the security team, all the security guards became more serious. At least, they were much better than before.
Su Jingxing saw all these, but he didn’t say anything.
Since he spent most of his time in the crematorium, he naturally extracted almost all the cards available.
The Internal Force Cards, Strength Enhancement Cards, and Essence Energy Cards kept accumulating.
When he went out with Kong Dabao, Feng Tiejian, and the others, he would also pick up True Energy Cards.
After five consecutive days, he was loaded with gains.
It was just that every time he saw Feng Tiejian, the fellow’s nervous and absent-minded appearance made him speechless.
It had been more than a week, but Feng Tiejian still felt that there were people who wanted to harm him.
The consequence of being overly nervous was not being able to eat well or sleep well. He had visibly slimmed down and he had dark eye circles every day.
His weak, dazed and jumpy state gave Gu Bo, who had returned to the team, a headache. He personally stepped in and approved Feng Tiejian’s leave to rest. He thought it was best for him to go to the hospital.
But Feng Tiejian stubbornly resisted to the end and refused to leave the crematorium no matter what.
No one knew what his logic was. He thought that hiding in the crematorium meant no danger.
Looking at his situation, not only did he have persecutory delusions, he also had the ability to foresee danger.
But wasn’t that nonsense?
Su Jingxing refused to believe it until that night.
It was almost midnight. Su Jingxing was on his last round of patrol. When he was preparing to go home, he bumped into Kong Dabao and his new partner. Kong Dabao had lost the game he was playing during this free time and was cursing. Su Jingxing walked over and glanced at his game screen.
At that moment, Su Jingxing, whose mental perception had covered the crematorium, sensed two people quietly climbing over the wall and entering the crematorium.
Climbing over the wall instead of using the entrance. They are clearly problematic.
Su Jingxing decisively used his secret ability, Advanced Hearing, and locked onto the two people who had entered.
With the enhancement of his soul power, the range of this secret ability had also expanded. It now covered an area with a radius of more than 250 meters.
Coincidentally, Kong Dabao was playing games in the backyard of the crematorium.
Su Jingxing stood beside him. The entire area was within the range of his hearing.
The two people who had climbed over the wall and entered the crematorium immediately rushed to the morgue. Su Jingxing followed their heartbeats and moved quickly until he was close to Feng Tiejian, who was leaning against a wall drowsily.
Feng Tiejian’s partner was also playing games beside him, waiting to knock off.
As Su Jingxing listened, the two people who had climbed over the wall rushed towards Feng Tiejian. The moment they did, their breathing was suddenly concealed and they temporarily disappeared.
Even though he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Su Jingxing was 99% certain that these two people wanted to harm Feng Tiejian!
So.
Su Jingxing did not hesitate and made a prompt decision. He placed his right palm behind his back and circulated the Air Splitting Palm. Without a sound, he silently delivered two palm strikes from a distance.
Beside him, Kong Dabao and his new partner didn’t notice anything.
Feng Tiejian and his partner, who were 70 to 80 meters away, suddenly heard a muffled sound.
Bang! Bang!
It was like a sudden clap of thunder.
The moment Feng Tiejian and his partner snapped back to their senses, they saw two men in black rushing towards them, each holding a short sword that glinted with cold light.
Then, two palm imprints suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hit their bodies. One of them flew back, while the other flew to the right at high speeds.
The one thrown backwards crashed into a pillar, spitting out blood.
Those who flew to the right smashed into the wall, causing the entire wall to shake. Fragments fell, and as he slid to the ground, they also spat out blood. His hands and legs were trembling non-stop.
However, these two people were tough enough. They were clearly severely injured and in unbearable pain, but they got up immediately and quickly retreated.
However, Su Jingxing would not allow that.
Bam!
Thud!
As before, he struck out with his palm soundlessly. His palm strikes were like thunderclaps as he struck out twice more, hitting the two people who were escaping through the air.
They were beaten until they vomited blood again, falling onto the ground, the pain unbearable.
The reason why Su Jingxing didn’t kill them directly was because he wanted to capture them alive and interrogate them.
Unexpectedly, the two people lying on the ground seemed to know that they had been targeted and that they could no longer escape. They actually used their short swords to commit s*icide, stabbing their blades into their hearts.
As Su Jingxing listened to the heartbeats disappear, he extracted two cards.
Sacrificial soldiers!
The two people who killed themselves so decisively reminded Su Jingxing of their identities. There was a high chance that they were sacrificial soldiers who had been trained since young!
Only large factions would nurture and had the ability to nurture such sacrificial soldiers.
Feng Tiejian was just an ordinary worker at the crematorium, why would he be targeted by them?
Su Jingxing was puzzled.
“Murder!!”
A sharp cry broke the silence in good time.
It was Feng Tiejian’s partner. He finally regained his senses and screamed in fear.
The entire crematorium was alerted.
“What’s going on?”
Kong Dabao put down his phone and raised his head to look in the direction of the voice. “It seems like someone is shouting murder over there?”
“Someone has probably died?” his partner responded in surprise and doubt.
“It’s murder.” Su Jingxing retracted his cultivation quietly and frowned. “I’ll go take a look.”
“Wait a moment, I’ll come too.” Kong Dabao followed.
“And me.” His partner fell in last.
The three of them quickly rushed to the corner where Feng Tiejian and his partner were.
On the way, the others who heard the scream also rushed out.
They gathered into a group and arrived at the fastest speed possible.
“What happened? Feng Tiejian, why are… F*ck, who killed them?”
The first person to arrive was just about to ask what happened when he saw two corpses and was shocked.
“Who are they?”
“They’re in black. One look and you can tell they aren’t good people.”
“Feng Tiejian, you killed them?”
“…”
Those who had rushed over were shocked, stunned, and confused.
However, Feng Tiejian remained rooted to the spot and did not respond at all.
It was still his partner who managed to regain his composure. Trembling, he replied, “It’s them… They want to kill… kill us! But, we… we were saved… saved…”
Uttering broken sentences, he recounted what had happened.
Upon hearing him, Kong Dabao and the others were all surprised.
Someone really wanted to harm Feng Tiejian!
This fellow had been acting like a lunatic for the past few days. It wasn’t fake, it had really happened.
He was being followed and harmed!
“Old Feng, what have you done?”
After a moment of shock passed, Kong Dabao couldn’t help but ask.
“That’s right. What exactly did you do out there for people to keep targeting you? They even want your life.”
Wu Shouhan received the news and led a group of people over. He shouted from afar.
“Feng Tiejian! Wake up!”
Pa!
Seeing this, Kong Dabao slapped Feng Tiejian’s shoulder with great force, jolting Feng Tiejian back to his senses.
“Ah, ah! Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!”
Feng Tiejian, who had sobered up, let out a series of screams as he staggered backward.
“The people who want to kill you are dead.”
Kong Dabao snapped, “Tell me, what exactly did you do to get targeted?”
Feng Tiejian was dazed again.
Su Jingxing searched the bodies of the two sacrificial soldiers but found nothing.
He pulled off their masks and looked at their faces. He did not recognize them.
“Without a doubt, they are sacrificial soldiers.”
Wu Shouhan swept his eyes over the two corpses and said in a deep voice, “Able to send out sacrificial soldiers to deal with Feng Tiejian, this means that the other party’s background isn’t simple. Feng Tiejian, you had better tell us honestly what you’ve done!”
Pa!
Kong Dabao slapped Feng Tiejian’s shoulder again, waking him up.
“I… I don’t know.” Feng Tiejian came back to his senses and said with a trembling voice, “I didn’t do anything! Believe me, I really didn’t do anything! I don’t know why they targeted me!”
“Tch!”
Kong Dabao looked at him with disdain. “You’re still hiding it at this point?”
“No, I really don’t know!” Feng Tiejian went berserk. “Everything I did a week ago was no different from the past. I ate good food, had fun, and went to the same places. I didn’t meet any bad people or get into a conflict with others. I have no idea why they followed me and wanted to harm me!”
“Then why are you hiding in the crematorium?”
Before anyone else could say anything, Su Jingxing asked, “You said that you don’t know. It’s indeed possible. Maybe you just saw something unintentionally, that’s why you were targeted to be silenced. Let’s put this question aside for now. What I want to know is, why are you hiding in the crematorium and knowing that you can escape harm by staying there?”
This was a crucial question.
That’s right, it was Su Jingxing who saved him this time.
But that was because Su Jingxing and Feng Tiejian had a good relationship and Feng Tiejian had helped him before.
Knowing that someone wanted to harm him, Su Jingxing couldn’t just stand by and watch.
But that didn’t mean that Su Jingxing was willing to be a tool for others.
This was because from this angle, the mastermind behind the scenes knew about Su Jingxing’s existence!
Su Jingxing used to be Yang Jian, and recently, “Guest Elder Lin”.
He believed that he had never revealed his true identity.
The person who targeted Feng Tiejian knows me?
He shuddered at the thought of it!
…
“Ah, um.”
Feng Tiejian was stunned when he heard that. “Can… Can I say that it’s in… intuition?”
“Your intuition tells you that someone will help you in the crematorium?” Wu Shouhan asked in disbelief.
“That’s right! You were able to avoid a calamity just by relying on your intuition. Old Feng, are you so powerful?” Kong Dabao’s eyes were wide.
“Is Feng Tiejian a genius? A hidden genius?”
“Perhaps it was his spiritual awakening that allowed him to grow overnight.”
“Don’t joke around. At this moment, I believe that Feng Tiejian’s intuition is fake.”
“Sigh, what makes you think he’s lying? I think Old Feng is telling the truth!”
“I think it’s true, too, because I’ve had similar intuition before.”
“…”
The others chimed in and started discussing Feng Tiejian’s words.
Su Jingxing took everything in and frowned slightly.
Intuition?
If Feng Tiejian’s intuition is really that accurate, then his mental strength might really be outstanding.
The sudden impulse isn’t something that only martial artists possess.
Ordinary people have them as well. Due to certain matters, they will suddenly feel terribly panicked one day.
Calling it telepathy was an exaggeration, but there was a subconscious connection. Such cases did exist.
For a moment, Su Jingxing couldn’t judge.
However, he was certain that Feng Tiejian wasn’t lying.
Compared to Feng Tiejian, Su Jingxing’s soul power was extremely massive, and his ability to predict things was even sharper.
…
“Um, you guys asked why Feng Tiejian was targeted and assassinated. Aren’t you guys curious who saved him?”
A manager suddenly spoke, breaking the noise and causing everyone to be shocked into silence.
“That’s right. Who saved Old Feng? Did you see?”
A curious expression appeared on Kong Dabao’s face as he looked at Feng Tiejian and his partner.
“No.”
Feng Tiejian’s partner shook his head. “We only saw those two people rushing towards us. Then, before their blades hit us, they were sent flying by palm imprints that suddenly appeared.”
“Right, the person who saved us is very powerful. He only used four palm strikes to leave those two fellows immobile!”
He looked excited.
The others were also astonished.
“Tsk tsk, I’m afraid those two aren’t even in the seventh-grade, yet they were injured without even seeing who struck them. The person who saved you must be at least in the sixth-grade!”
“Do you even need to ask? If he’s not a sixth-grade martial artist, would he be able to execute a palm strike from a distance?”
“Attacking from afar, could it be the Air Splitting Palm?”
“It’s the Air Splitting Palm!”
Wu Shouhan gave the final word. He looked at the palm prints left on the two corpses and analyzed, “The expert who saved the two of them used the Air Splitting Palm. Judging from the wounds, the other party has at least cultivated the Air Splitting Palm to Perfection!”
“Amazing!”
“Yeah, so impressive.”
“Um, since when did our crematorium have a sixth-grade expert?”
“Maybe he’s not just a sixth-grade, maybe he’s in the fifth-grade!”
“Why don’t you say fourth-grade?”
“…”
