76 The Vitality-s.n.a.t.c.hing Technique

There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Broken limbs were scattered all over the ground, looking rather terrifying in the dark night.

Jiang Ming was like an old farmer checking the growth of his crops. He did not find it c.u.mbersome at all. He examined the corpses one by one. When he saw two with weak breathing, he did not hesitate to cut off their heads. After making sure that no one survived, he was completely at ease.

“Maybe someone will climb out of the pile of corpses and come and take revenge on me in a few decades.” Jiang Ming chuckled.

However, it did not matter if someone took revenge. Jiang Ming had nothing to do with Zhang Shan after all.

Jiang Ming was relieved. Then, he looked at the corpses on the ground and sighed with emotion.

Who would dare imagine that all the direct descendants of the most powerful force in Great Cloud City would be killed in the wilderness without a trace?

“Alright, let’s get down to business!”

After a brief moment of emotion, Jiang Ming rolled up his sleeves. He began to search the corpses.

Jiang Ming’s eyes were full of antic.i.p.ation. These were all direct descendants of the s.h.i.+ family. He could probably find some treasures.

He started with the family members. He found money and jewels and stuffed them into his bag.

However, he did not find anything interesting. Jiang Ming was not surprised. After all, they were just a group of ordinary people. The most important thing to them was gold and silver.

He carried his bag with satisfaction and strode towards the s.h.i.+ family’s martial artists.

Martial artists were the true foundation of a family. If these people really had any treasures, the martial artists would have them.

“What is this?” Jiang Ming took out a book from s.h.i.+ Quantang’s body.

“Wave-Swallowing Saber Technique?” Jiang Ming saw the words on the cover and was immediately overjoyed.

Back in Peace Town, he had seen s.h.i.+ Quannian and Young Master Liang fight using the Wave-Swallowing Saber Technique. This was a saber technique that could both attack and defend. It was rumored to be the s.h.i.+ family’s most powerful combat technique, and its value was comparable to the martial arts technique of a first-cla.s.s martial artist.

“Just this saber technique alone is already worth it!” Jiang Ming stuffed it into his bag and continued his search.

“A secret medicine formula… A deed for a shop…”

The harvest was getting more and more abundant. However, he threw away the things like land deeds without any care. Although the s.h.i.+ family was basically gone, if he took these lands, he would inevitably be targeted by people with ulterior motives. It was not worth it.

In the end, he walked to s.h.i.+ Jintai’s battered corpse. He was a little scared that he may have damaged some rare artifacts.

However, at that time, the battle was fierce, and Jiang Ming did not have the chance to hold back.

He squatted down nervously and began to feel around.

“Eh? Something’s here!”

A moment later, Jiang Ming took out a piece of extremely thin animal skin from s.h.i.+ Jintai’s pockets. It was covered in text.

It was the Vitality-s.n.a.t.c.hing Technique!

Jiang Ming glanced at it a few times, then revealed a surprised and happy expression. He quickly folded it and put it in his arms.

“This is where the foundation of the s.h.i.+ family lies!” Jiang Ming’s heart was beating fast. He could not wait to escape to a safe place and study it carefully.

“But there’s one more thing I almost forgot.” Jiang Ming returned to the side of the road and quickly walked to s.h.i.+ Junwei.

What caught Jiang Ming’s attention were the yellow crystals the size of beans in the flesh of the corpse.

He squatted and picked up a few crystals. He wiped them clean and observed them carefully.

The crystals seemed to be broken pieces of a whole.

Jiang Ming tried to squeeze them hard, but even with the strength of a second-cla.s.s martial artist, he could not crush them.

“This thing’s definitely something powerful.” Jiang Ming instantly made a guess and slapped s.h.i.+ Junwei’s corpse without hesitation.

A moment later, Jiang Ming wrapped more than a dozen yellow crystals of different sizes in a piece of cloth and stuffed them away. He stood up and strode away.

The next day, in Great Cloud City, a small piece of news swept through the streets and alleys like a hurricane.

“Breaking news! The s.h.i.+ family’s direct line of descent escaped, but they were all wiped out!”

“It’s fake news. Those who died were cannon fodder. The real direct descendants of the s.h.i.+ family have long fled outside the city.”

“I’m talking about those who escaped, the third generation of the s.h.i.+ family. All the martial artists and family members were found dead. Even s.h.i.+ Jintai, the head of the s.h.i.+ family, had half of his body blown off.”

“What? Is it true? Who’s brutal enough to exterminate all the direct descendants of the s.h.i.+ family?”

“How can this be fake? A mountain miner who entered the city to sell goods found their bodies in the morning. The Imperial Army has gone to handle the situation!”

“Could it be the w.a.n.g family or the Tiger Hunting Village? ”

“I think it was the hero, Zhang Shan, who killed him!”

The remaining members of the s.h.i.+ family were hunted down like rats.

The s.h.i.+ family had offended at least half of the people in Great Cloud City. There was blood was everywhere and screams of agony rang out from every corner of the s.h.i.+ family mansion.

Back in Peace Town, Jiang Ming opened the door and walked into the courtyard. He slowly practiced a set of ordinary fist techniques in the morning mist. His movements were natural and smooth, with a kind of otherworldly temperament about them.

No one would have thought that such a young man was the culprit behind the ma.s.sacre of the s.h.i.+ family.

However, Jiang Ming’s thoughts were no longer on the s.h.i.+ family, but on the secret technique he had found.

The Vitality-s.n.a.t.c.hing Technique!

It was the second true forbidden martial arts technique he had found after the Blood-Burning Saber Technique.
