Su Xin shot out the remaining three arrows in his hand,leaving everyone present stunned.
These three arrows were Su Xin's last resort.Having shot them all,who would still fear him?
The stunning arrows fell,instantly killing three of the remaining four leaders of the Honghu Stronghold.Only the last one remained,glaring at Su Xin with bloodshot eyes.
"Su Xin!You're dead!"The last leader of the Honghu Stronghold roared and charged towards Su Xin.
The nine members of the Honghu Stronghold rose from obscurity,turning a small stronghold into the renowned Honghu Stronghold in southern Yu.They named it Honghu Stronghold because when they formed their brotherhood,they swore that if one of them achieved greatness,their nine brothers would shake the world.
But unfortunately,their dream of becoming renowned in the martial world had not been realized.Now,only one of them remained in the Honghu Stronghold.
His heart was already dead.He would rather sacrifice others as cannon fodder than let Su Xin escape death here,accompanying his brothers under the earth!
But unfortunately,his wish was destined to go unfulfilled.
Su Xin once again drew his bow and arrow,perplexing everyone.Su Xin had no arrows in his hand,and there were none left in his quiver.What did he intend to do?
The crowd soon found out.Su Xin drew his bow to full moon and,as he released his fingers,a loud bang resounded.
A flash of blood appeared on the chest of the last leader of the Honghu Stronghold,revealing a fist-sized blood hole.
The Heartbreak Arrow,capable of hurting even without arrows!
Now,no one hesitated any longer;they fled as far as they could.
Su Xin's strength had reached an abnormal level.Unless they used numbers to overwhelm him regardless of casualties,who could contend with such power?
Su Xin put away his longbow.In fact,the internal energy in his body was now less than a layer,just a trace remaining.
The consumable of the Heartbreak Arrow had no limit in uses but was time-restricted.
Within half an hour,as long as Su Xin's internal energy was sufficient,he could use it indefinitely.
However,with the remaining internal energy Su Xin had at the moment,shooting about ten arrows was the limit.That's why he only exchanged ten arrows when replenishing in space.
Everyone thought these ten arrows were Su Xin's trump card.After he shot all ten arrows,they believed he would be at his wit's end.
When Su Xin had only three arrows left,some of them might have had some ideas,trying to force Su Xin to use up these three arrows.
But when Su Xin unhesitatingly used up these three arrows,killing the last leader of the Honghu Stronghold with empty arrows,these warriors truly feared.
The most terrifying trump card is not the one you can see,but the one you can't.
No one knew how many more arrows Su Xin could shoot,so they didn't know how many lives it would take to exhaust Su Xin.
Su Xin turned his head towards Di Yunfei and the others,startling them.
They hurriedly shielded Di Yunfei,fearing that Su Xin might suddenly go mad and kill Di Yunfei.If Di Yunfei died,even if Su Xin spared them,Di Yunfei's wrath wouldn't.
But they worried needlessly.Su Xin's internal energy was now depleted,and any further action would reveal his weakness.
Just as Su Xin was about to leave,Lu Wanting,who had been silent all along,suddenly spoke up,"Su Xin,how about marrying me?"
As soon as these words were uttered,everyone was stunned.Di Yunfei,in particular,widened his eyes in disbelief,unable to believe that his fiancée would say such a thing to his enemy.
Looking at the dignified woman in front of him,Su Xin realized she must be Lu Wanting.But why was she acting like a lunatic?What was going on?
Seeing Su Xin looking at her as if she were crazy,Lu Wanting laughed and said,"I'm not joking;I'm serious.Lu Wanting swore to marry a hero of the martial world in this life."
Lu Wanting glanced disdainfully at Di Yunfei,who still had an incredulous look on his face,and said,"Compared to this useless person who can only rely on his elder brother to survive in the martial world,I have more faith in you."
Upon hearing this,Di Yunfei immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted,unable to bear being called useless by his beloved,let alone being compared to his enemy.The humiliation was too much for him.
Su Xin glanced at her,somewhat puzzled by her worldview.
In his previous life,some materialistic women liked wealthy men,so it was natural that in this life,there were many young women from small aristocratic families who liked to attach themselves to the scions of large families.
But the problem was that Lu Wanting herself was the eldest daughter of one of the six great families,the Lu Family of Fanyang.Did she really need to cry and beg to marry someone she had just met for the first time?
Su Xin shook his head and said,"Sorry,I'm not interested."
Lu Wanting smiled and said,"Don't be so quick to refuse.Marrying me will definitely bring you unexpected benefits.You are the chief constable of the Six-Fan Gate,and my Lu Family is originally a martial family.Although our relationship with the court is not particularly close,it is not bad either.If you marry me,with this relationship,our Lu Family might be able to cooperate with the Six-Fan Gate in the future,which would be a great achievement.In the martial world,although my Lu Family has appeared to decline in recent years,it is still one of the six great families."
Our Lu family of Fanyang doesn't have any outstanding young disciples in this generation.If you marry me,you'll be the son-in-law of the Lu family of Fanyang.With your ranking as the twelfth on the People's List,our Lu family will definitely spare no effort to nurture you.By then,you'll have dual identities in both the court and the martial world.With both sides valuing you so much,success is just around the corner.Twenty years from now,you,Su Xin,will definitely have a place as a giant figure in the martial world!"
Looking at Lu Wanting's eyes sparkling with anticipation,Su Xin simply said,"Sorry,I'm still not interested."
Lu Wanting's expression changed,"Do you know what opportunity you're giving up?"
Su Xin smiled,"Giant figure in the martial world?Sorry,Lu Xin hasn't sunk to the level of needing a woman to become a giant figure in the martial world."
Indeed,marrying Lu Wanting would bring many benefits as she claimed.However,what would Su Xin become then?Just a son-in-law of the Lu family?Besides,leaving that aside,Su Xin had no intention of marrying a woman he had just met.
After saying these words,Su Xin turned and left.His internal energy was depleted now,so he needed to find a place to recuperate for a while.
However,Lu Wanting's gaze towards Su Xin was aggressive.
For some people,the more unattainable something is,the more desirable it becomes,and Lu Wanting was one of those people.
Di Yunfei had fallen in love with her at first sight.He spent a lot of money to find the Heavenly Dao Stone for her,tried everything to please her,but she wasn't moved.Yet,Su Xin's indifference towards her made her more and more interested in him.
After leaving,Su Xin found a secluded wilderness and entered a dense forest to recover his consumed true qi while assessing the gains of this battle.
"Congratulations,host,for completing the side quest:Unrivaled.You have killed a total of forty-eight martial artists in the Divine Palace realm,rewarded with 3200 villain points."
Although this side quest rewarded 3200 villain points,Su Xin had previously used a four-star consumable,leaving him with only 2560 villain points.However,Su Xin earned quite a lot this time.While killing,Su Xin almost exclusively targeted the stronger martial artists from the Jian Nan and Yu Nan factions,such as'Purple Lightning Sword'Xiao Fuyuan and others,who would yield rewards of almost 100 points each.
After restoring his true qi,Su Xin spent two more days recuperating from his injuries until he was in perfect condition before leaving.He had sustained some minor injuries in his confrontation with Di Yunfei's Blood Dragon Transformation,but they were not too serious.After taking healing medicine and resting for two days,he was fine.
However,during the two days Su Xin spent recuperating,there was another stir in the outside world due to his battle.
During this time,the People's List was updated,and Su Xin's achievements in this battle naturally boosted his ranking by a large margin.
"Name:Su Xin
Alias:Blood Sword Divine Finger
Affiliation:Chief Constable of the Jiangnan Road
Martial Arts:Blood River Divine Sword,Blood River Divine Finger,Twenty-Four Solar Terms Astonishing Finger,Innate Invisible Body-Shattering Sword Qi,Nameless Archery
Strength:Peak of the Divine Palace realm
Achievements:Single-handedly faced three moves from Dong Buyi,the Autumn Altar Master,in the Autumn Altar of the Jiangnan Road and emerged victorious,fought against Lin Xiaosheng,the'Peerless Sword,'on the arena,escaped from Jiang Helu,the pinnacle of the Divine Palace realm,and the remnants of the Wu Kingdom and the White Lotus Sect.Two days ago,fought against Di Yunfei,who was injured to the half-step Elemental Spirit realm.Fought against hundreds,killed'Seven Kills Langjun'Yu Feiyu,'Heart Sword Guest'Yuan Tong,'Purple Lightning Sword'Xiao Fuyuan,'Fierce Heart Monk'Guangyuan,'Qianyuan Mountain'Four Swords,the nine leaders of the'Honghu Stronghold,'and seven heroes of the'Tiandang Mountain'and more than forty martial artists in the Divine Palace realm,achieving unparalleled victory.
Ranking:Seventh."
Seeing this People's List ranking,everyone gasped in disbelief.If it weren't for Su Xin's strength still being listed as at the peak of the Divine Palace realm,they would have almost thought that Su Xin had broken through to the Elemental Spirit realm and slaughtered everyone.Moreover,they didn't know whether the Six-Fan Gate intentionally showcased themselves,but Su Xin's achievements were detailed in the People's List column.Those defeated by him were disciples from major sects like Lin Xiaosheng and Di Yunfei,who even fought against those in the Elemental Spirit realm.Those who died at his hands were not insignificant either.Xiao Fuyuan,Yuan Tong,and others were renowned figures in Jian Nan and Yu Nan,but now they had all become stepping stones for Su Xin.
Historically,advancing into the top twenty of the People's List had always been very difficult.Su Xin's leap from twelfth to seventh place this time was already a significant improvement.Of course,this update of the People's List also implicated someone else,namely Zhu Ge Qingtian.Originally,he was pushed out of the top ten by Xie Zhiyan.Later,when Yue Qingping was killed,he returned to the tenth place.As a result of Su Xin's rise to seventh place now,everyone below was pushed down one position,causing Zhu Ge Qingtian to fall out of the top ten again,which made Zhu Ge Qingtian,who knew about it,quite frustrated.Of course,even more frustrating was Di Yunfei,who,after this battle,dropped to twenty-fourth place in the People's List,but he estimated that he was the first person in the history of the People's List to make such a big leap in ranking due to defeat.
