The three of them ganged up on Su Xin, but two of them were seriously injured by Su Xin. The last one, Zhang Guang, was so scared that he admitted defeat. This result made Yan Zhongheng and the others' faces turn as black as the bottom of a pot.
However, the onlookers of the Merchant Mountain City didn't care about this. Although they didn't dare to cheer loudly, they were still whispering about how powerful Su Xin was and how he was worthy of being a ranker on the Human List. This made Yan Zhongheng's complexion even more unsightly.
Su Xin sheathed his sword and said with a smile, "How about it? Do you still want to fight? If you want to fight, I, Meng Qingze, will accompany you anytime. Even if there are six more, I will still take them on. "
"Let's go!" Yan Zhongheng glared at Su Xin with hatred and turned to leave.
The others also knew that they definitely wouldn't be able to take advantage of Su Xin today. Instead, they had lost all their face, so they could only turn to leave.
Su Xin turned back to Yan Qingxue and the others and said with a smile, "Alright, now they should know how powerful we are. I guess they won't dare to cause trouble for a while."
Yan Qingxue nodded and revealed a bright smile.
It had been a long time since she felt so relaxed.
Uncle Liang and the others were also very excited. Su Xin's strength was indeed worthy of his reputation. The experts under Yan Zhongheng were like chickens and dogs in front of Su Xin, unable to withstand a single blow.
This wasn't the place to talk. Yan Qingxue asked Chi Rang and Lu Li to return to the house first to arrange a banquet to welcome Su Xin. She and Uncle Liang accompanied Su Xin at the back.
Along the way, Su Xin didn't stay idle. This battle brought him a lot of experience and allowed him to almost completely grasp the power of the Innate Realm.
At the same time, one of Su Xin's conjectures was confirmed. The martial arts techniques that he obtained from the system's lottery would have a certain change here.
Martial arts techniques were dead, but people were alive.
The same cultivation method could be practiced by two different people, not to mention in a different environment.
For example, the Duan Clan's Sword Technique was considered a decent sword technique in the original work. However, in Su Xin's hands, it was filled with sword Qi, and there was almost no trace of its original form. Could such a martial technique still be called the Duan Clan's Sword Technique?
In reality, sword techniques were still sword techniques, but the environment was different.
In the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, martial arts such as the Six Meridians Godly Sword and the Flaming Blade could reach the realm of releasing true Qi, but how many people had such strength? The main character, Duan Yu, the Tubo Nation Master Jiu Mozhi, and a few others.
But in this world, almost all warriors in the Innate Realm had the power to release their Zhen Qi, but if they were thrown into the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils to fight against Jiu Mozhi, they would definitely die.
This was because if their inner energy was compressed to the same level as the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, they would not even be able to unleash second-rate strength.
One's realm was energy, and martial arts was the way to use this energy. This was Su Xin's understanding.
When he was in the Acquired Realm, he could use the consumable Flaming Blade to slash out a few feet long, and kill a Innate Realm warrior in one hit.
If he had the Flaming Blade now, he could even slash out more than ten feet long.
And if he reached the Primordial Soul Realm, this Flaming Blade might really have the power to split a river.
Now Su Xin had basically confirmed that the evaluation method given by the system should be based on the power it could exert in this world.
This was also the case for martial arts. It should be known that this world had something like the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Warriors in the Innate Realm could absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth for their own use, and experts in the Primordial Soul Realm could borrow the power of Heaven and Earth to become even stronger.
Internal cultivation methods would undoubtedly become more powerful under the support of the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Of course, this was only an individual case. For example, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.
In the Condor Shooting World, due to the relationship between the Qi of Heaven and Earth and lifespan, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art could not be cultivated to the Great Accomplishment. But here, there was enough Qi of Heaven and Earth for warriors to absorb, and they did not have to worry about their lifespan.
If there were no accidents, the lifespan of Innate Realm warriors could reach more than a hundred years. Some Innate Divinity Realm warriors could even reach nearly two hundred years if they did not suffer any serious injuries.
Experts in the Primordial Soul Realm would definitely have a lifespan of more than two hundred years. With such a long time, even the stupidest person would be able to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to the Great Accomplishment.
After figuring this out, when Su Xin chose martial arts in the future, he could try his best to choose martial arts that could exert the greatest effect under the condition that he had sufficient inner strength.
As he pondered along the way, he arrived at Yan Qingxue's house.
Yan Qingxue's house was said to be a house, but in fact, it was basically a small mansion.
There were dozens of rooms, and there were all kinds of pavilions, gardens, and flowing water.
In a place like the Merchant Mountain City, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, the value of such a big house was simply immeasurable.
Yan Huangjiu was really fair to his sons. No matter who it was, they all had such a big house.
After arriving at the house, Yan Qingxue had already arranged a banquet to welcome Su Xin. But the most important thing was to let Su Xin get to know the people under Yan Qingxue.
But when he saw Yan Qingxue's subordinates, Su Xin could not help but shake his head. This was simply much weaker than what Su Xin had imagined.
Among Yan Qingxue's subordinates, besides Uncle Liang, who was a Xiantian Realm warrior, the strongest was Chi Rang, who was at the consummate Houtian Realm.
There were only five middle-stage Hou Tian warriors under Chi Rang. And, only one of them had been recruited by Yan Qingxue. And, that man had offended Yan Zhongheng. So, he had been saved by Yan Qingxue. So, he had stayed with Yan Qingxue because of his gratitude.
The other four were recruited by Yan Qingxue with silver. They were all the kind of warriors who were not very strong.
A warrior with a bit of ambition would definitely choose to go to Yan Zhongheng's place. At least, they could get some medicinal pills to speed up their cultivation.
But they chose Yan Qingxue, who had a high monthly salary but no cultivation resources. One could imagine the thoughts of these people.
As for those early-stage Houtian Realm warriors, there was no need to mention them. These people could be easily found in the Merchant Mountain City. As long as they had silver, they could be recruited at any time.
After the meal, Su Xin asked the others to leave. He was prepared to talk to Yan Qingxue alone.
Facing Su Xin alone, Yan Qingxue's face showed a trace of embarrassment, "Young Master Meng, the strength of my subordinates is indeed too weak."
Su Xin shook his head and said, "I can think of a way to deal with the weak strength of my subordinates. But what I want to know is, Miss Yan, what are you thinking?"
"Me?" Yan Qingxue pointed to herself with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, you. Do you only want to protect yourself, or do you want to fight for the position of City Lord?"
Su Xin looked into Yan Qingxue's eyes and said, "Miss Yan, if you want to protect yourself, you have already done it. I can guarantee that after today's battle, Yan Zhongheng and the others will definitely not dare to provoke you again.
But what happens after that? When one of Yan Zhongheng's group inherits the position of City Lord, will they not make a move on you?
How can you allow others to sleep beside your bed? I estimate that when that time comes, out of all your father's children, only one will be left. The others will definitely be eliminated. Of course, you won't be able to escape this calamity. "
Yan Qingxue wanted to say something, but she was directly interrupted by Su Xin.
"Miss Yan, you don't need to say things like 'they won't be so vicious'. Don't you know what your brothers and sisters are like? They will definitely do such a thing. "
The corner of Su Xin's mouth revealed a trace of a mocking smile, "I, Meng Qingze, quite admire City Lord Yan's conduct in his life, but I don't dare to agree with the way he raises his children.
He had nurtured his children's competitive spirit since they were young, and he had even nurtured them like poisonous insects. He had almost made them fight and kill each other personally, causing these siblings to have no affection for each other and even view each other as enemies.
Now that he is in charge, even if these children compete, they can only do it through other means, or through the competition between their subordinates. But when he dies, who will abide by this rule? "
Yan Qingxue was silent. Of course, she knew these things, but she was never willing to admit it.
There was indeed a problem with the way Yan Huangjiu raised his children, and it was a big problem. Fortunately, Yan Qingxue didn't live with them when she was young, but lived with her kind and gentle mother, so she didn't become like Yan Zhongheng and the others.
Before, Su Xin said that he admired Yan Huangjiu, but it was true that he despised the way he raised his children.
In the end, Yan Huangjiu was still a loose cultivator. Although he was ambitious, his tolerance was still too small.
His method of nurturing his children was indeed capable of nurturing the strongest child, but what was the use of it? Merchant Mountain City wouldn't change just because of one person. His way of raising children was simply imitating the struggle of the royal families, fierce and cruel, leaving only one person alive.
But this was Jiang Hu, not the royal family. Merchant Mountain City wasn't the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom. There were countless strong subordinates, and as long as the emperor didn't court death, there was no need to worry about the country.
If Merchant Mountain City really wanted to develop, it should learn from the few big aristocratic families of Xiangnan, and develop into a family model.
Although the family model would also have cruel competition, but at least it would maintain a certain degree of unity against outsiders.
Moreover, the family model was like a rolling snowball. As long as there weren't too many changes, it would definitely slowly grow stronger.
Like the current Merchant Mountain City, people sometimes called Yan Huangjiu the City Lord, while others called Yan Zhongheng and the others the Yan Clan, the Yan Clan of Merchant Mountain City.
Unfortunately, this path was completely ruined by Yan Huangjiu. Now, the cracks between his children had completely formed, and it was impossible to unite and form a family. This Yan Clan of Merchant Mountain City was destined to never appear.
