Su Xin and Li Bo carried the heads back to Merry Forest. Li Qing and the others were already waiting there.
Originally, Su Xin had arranged for them to cover their retreat, but Su Xin and Li Bo were too swift. Before the Azure Bamboo Gang's men arrived, they had already brought back Dai Chong and Zhang Hong's heads, not giving them a chance to chase after them.
"Boss, are you guys alright?" Li Qing quickly asked.
"Do I look like I'm alright? These are Dai Chong and Zhang Hong's heads. Carry them well. "Su Xin threw the bag containing the heads to Li Qing.
This kid was quite tactful. The moment they met, he asked about the boss's safety instead of whether the assassination was successful or not. His eyesight was not bad.
Li Qing trembled as he received the bag. The shock in his heart was at its peak.
In fact, regarding the matter of Su Xin assassinating Dai Chong, he himself did not believe that it would be successful.
At that time, he stood up because of the resentment in his heart. He was unwilling to let his brother's life be bought with ten taels of silver.
And when Su Xin said that he would take revenge for Chen San, Li Qing swore in his heart that regardless of whether this mission was successful or not, his life would be in Su Xin's hands!
Who would have thought that Su Xin would actually bring back the heads of Dai Chong and Zhang Hong?
"San-er, you can finally rest in peace. We found a good boss!" Li Qing carried the heads and silently followed behind Su Xin. His eyes were red.
At this time, in Merry Forest, Huang Bingcheng was anxiously pacing back and forth in the hall. He was so anxious that his eyes were dizzy.
Following a boss like Su Xin was indeed very awe-inspiring. He had money and power if he wanted it.
But at the same time, this boss's courage was not ordinary.
Huang Bingcheng was now used to being on tenterhooks every day. Especially this time, if there was any accident, their little Merry Forest would immediately fall apart.
Ji Gang, on the other hand, looked coldly at the anxious people in the hall. Regardless of whether the assassination was successful or not, Su Xin would not be able to escape death. At that time, he would like to see how they would deal with it!
"Boss, they're back!" A gang member shouted as he came over to report.
Huang Bingcheng immediately stopped wandering and hurriedly jogged over to welcome Su Xin and the others.
"Boss, how is it?" Huang Bingcheng quickly asked.
Li Qing put the bag with the human head on the table and opened it. Everyone present suddenly gasped.
The leader of the Azure Bamboo Gang, Dai Chong, was a person of the same level as Master Hu San. He was usually awe-inspiring, and most of them had seen him.
But now, this person had actually been beheaded by Su Xin and placed in front of them.
"He actually succeeded! He actually killed Dai Chong! Doesn't that mean his strength is already comparable to Master Hu San's? "Ji Gang was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He guessed that Su Xin could die on the spot, or he might be lucky enough to escape. But he never would have guessed that Su Xin actually succeeded!
Ji Gang slumped into the chair and didn't say a word.
Now that things had developed to this extent, it was no longer something he could have guessed.
Now, he only hoped that the higher-ups of the Eagle Gang would investigate and not implicate him.
Thinking of this, Ji Gang glared at Li Bo fiercely. It was all this lunatic's fault!
Originally, when he was under Master Hu San, Ji Gang knew that Li Bo's mental state was a bit abnormal. He was bloodthirsty and belligerent, often disregarding the overall situation.
But who knew that he could be so crazy that he ignored Master Hu San's secret order and went to assassinate Dai Chong with Su Xin?
"Go find some lime to deal with this human head and put it away. The rest of you can disperse."
Huang Bingcheng whispered, "What about Ji Gang? Do we need to send someone to continue watching him? "
Su Xin shook his head, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "No need. If he wants to say it, then let him say it. Besides, even if he doesn't say it, the higher-ups of the Eagle Gang will definitely know."
When assassinating Dai Chong, Su Xin and Li Bo didn't hide their faces.
Although they were all considered to be nameless in the Eagle Gang, as long as they investigated carefully, they would be able to find out immediately. In less than an hour, this matter would immediately spread throughout the entire Chang Ning Manor.
"Then what do we do now?" Huang Bingcheng asked.
"Sleep."
"Sleep?" Huang Bingcheng was instantly stunned.
Su Xin said matter-of-factly, "Killing people is a strenuous job. Of course, we need to have a good rest. We can also give the higher-ups of the Eagle Gang some time to think about how to deal with us. Tomorrow, someone will probably take the initiative to find us. "
After hearing Su Xin's words, Huang Bingcheng didn't have the mood to sleep. Instead, he was even more worried.
Just as Advisor Li had told them before, the current Eagle Gang simply couldn't fight another war with the Azure Bamboo Gang.
The strength of the two gangs wasn't much different. Even if they were to fight, it would only be a waste of money and manpower.
But now, Su Xin's assassination of Dai Chong had destroyed the balance between the two gangs. Huang Bingcheng could imagine how furious the people of the Azure Bamboo Gang would be.
When the time came for the war between the two gangs, the main culprit would be Su Xin. Their ending could be imagined.
Ignoring the deeply worried Huang Bingcheng, Su Xin leisurely returned to his own courtyard.
In the courtyard, Xin Er was practicing her sword.
The small wooden sword that Su Xin had made for her last time was actually being wielded by her. She was using the Great Sumeru Sword Form.
When Xin Er said that she wanted to practice the sword, Su Xin thought that she was just playing around, so he casually taught her the Great Sumeru Sword Form. He didn't expect that during this period of time when he was busy practicing, she would actually be able to practice it well.
"Tsk, my sister is a genius in learning the sword."
The corner of Su Xin's mouth twitched. He couldn't deny that Xin Er's talent in swordsmanship was stronger than his.
If he didn't have the 5% proficiency given by the system, he was afraid that he wouldn't be as proficient as Xin Er.
"Brother, you're back!" Seeing that Su Xin had returned, Xin Er immediately rushed over.
But then Xin Er pushed Su Xin away, pinched her nose, and said with a disgusted expression: "Brother, what's that smell on your body? It's so smelly. Go take a bath!"
"Little girl, your nose is sharp." Su Xin tapped Xin Er's little head.
He had just killed someone, so it was inevitable that his body was stained with blood. After being hit by the midday sun, there was a faint sour smell.
"Okay, you don't play anymore. Take a bath and go eat." Su Xin pinched her little nose.
Xin Er slapped Su Xin's hand down in dissatisfaction: "I'm not playing. When I master swordsmanship, I can protect brother."
After taking a bath and eating, Su Xin didn't immediately rest. Instead, he recalled the battle today.
In fact, this battle was the first time he fought after practicing martial arts. When he killed Liu Sandao, both Chen Di and Liu Sandao were too weak and couldn't fully see his strength.
This time, Dai Chong and Su Xin could be said to be evenly matched. In terms of battle experience, Su Xin was inferior to Dai Chong. If it wasn't for the strength of his swordsmanship, it was uncertain who would win.
And in this battle, he also saw his own shortcomings.
Regardless of whether it was his previous life or this life, Su Xin could be considered as someone who had seen blood and killed people, although he was killed in his previous life.
He wasn't like those inexperienced youths, whose hands would tremble at the sight of blood.
Similarly, he was someone who had only learned martial arts for a month. He couldn't be like those martial artists who had started practicing martial arts from a young age, with the guidance of a famous teacher and mastery of martial arts.
Right now, Su Xin was very stiff when fighting with others. On one hand, his foundation was unstable, and on the other hand, he lacked experience.
Lifeless Thorn's Swift Sword focused on offense, while the Great Sumeru Sword focused on defense.
Right now, Su Xin only knew these two techniques, but he still couldn't switch between them naturally. In fact, he couldn't even execute the Great Sumeru Sword without using his heavy sword.
All of this was because of his swordsmanship Proficiency. With only 5% Proficiency, he could only barely execute this sword technique in front of Su Xin. It was impossible for him to master it.
If he wanted to increase his Proficiency, he had to train hard. Of course, fighting was the best way to train. After this battle, Su Xin's Great Sumeru Sword Proficiency had already increased to 10%.
However, this was also the problem. If he relied on training hard to increase his Proficiency, it would take a lot of time.
The Great Sumeru Sword Proficiency was only one and a half stars, so it was destined to be eliminated in the future. Therefore, it was clearly not worth it to waste time on it.
Thinking of this, Su Xin quickly entered the system and prepared to ask about it.
"Hello, Host 01. Welcome to the Great Villain System," a cold voice said.
"I would like to ask a question. Can the Proficiency of a martial technique only be increased through training and battles?
Right now, the Great Sumeru Sword Proficiency is still useful to me. However, if I were to train hard on this martial technique now, wouldn't this martial technique be useless when my strength increases? Moreover, the time I've spent training hard would be equivalent to a waste. "
The system replied, "The Proficiency of a martial technique can also be achieved through epiphany. In fact, after some high-level martial techniques reach a certain Proficiency, they can no longer be improved through training. Instead, they can only be improved through epiphany.
"As for the second point, the host has fallen into a misunderstanding. The Proficiency of a martial technique does not only stem from the host's learning of a new martial technique, but also from the host's understanding of martial arts.
If the host is a Sword God like Ximen Chui Xue, he only needs to take a look at the Great Sumeru Sword Proficiency and he will be able to bring out its Proficiency to the extreme. With a little thought, he can even increase the level of a martial technique that is originally one and a half stars.
Therefore, the host does not need to worry about wasting time after training hard on the Great Sumeru Sword Proficiency. This is because what you are training is not only the Great Sumeru Sword Proficiency, but also the way of the sword. "
After the system finished speaking, Su Xin understood that he had indeed fallen into a misunderstanding.
Martial techniques were just a means, while one's own martial arts was the foundation.
What he needed to do was not to bury himself in training hard on the Great Sumeru Sword Proficiency, but to understand the way of the sword within.
