Double Heroes Battle Lei Li

One gaze after another stared in stunned disbelief at Xie Ting, whose cheek had been slapped crimson by Lin Yan. For a moment, the originally noisy place fell almost silent.

The silence lasted only an instant before some people came back to their senses and looked at Lin Yan strangely. Clearly, they were rather surprised by his decisiveness. No matter what, Xie Ting could be considered a delicate beauty, yet that status seemed to have made Lin Yan hesitate not in the slightest.

"Ruthless enough, decisive enough." Some people silently made their judgment of Lin Yan. This genius of the Lin Family who had only recently risen to prominence seemed to handle things rather differently as well.

At the same time, more people pushed in from outside. They were Lin Xia, Lin Hong, and the others among the Lin Family's younger generation.

When they saw this scene, they immediately froze as well. Looking at Xie Ting, who was clutching her cheek, her face blank and clearly still not recovered, an inexplicable pleasure actually surged up in their hearts. This wretched woman had not only bullied Qingtan alone, but had also opposed the Lin Family's younger generation at every turn in the Trading Fair. She had always looked down on the Lin Family. This time, Lin Yan's slap truly felt delightfully satisfying.

After slapping Xie Ting across the cheek, Lin Yan's palm suddenly reached out and firmly caught the gust of force that had shot toward him. It was astonishingly also a piece of shattered stone, but the force on the stone did not make Lin Yan's arm tremble in the slightest.

"You hit me... you dared to hit me!!"

When Lin Yan caught the incoming stone with a backhand movement, Xie Ting finally came back to her senses. The burning pain on her cheek made her entire body tremble. She raised her head, her gaze actually somewhat savage as she stared at Lin Yan. In that appearance, how could there still be the slightest trace of her earlier arrogance?

"When you run your mouth without restraint, you have to pay some price in the end," Lin Yan glanced at her and said indifferently.

"For the daughter of a cripple, you actually dared to hit me?" Lin Yan's indifferent words nearly drove Xie Ting mad. Since childhood, who had ever dared to hit her?

Her pretty face twisted slightly at this moment. In the next instant, she also raised her five fingers and fiercely slapped toward Lin Yan's face.

Smack!

Hearing Xie Ting's words of insult again, Lin Yan stretched out his hand and easily caught Xie Ting's palm. Immediately afterward, he slapped the young girl in front of him across the left cheek.

Two slaps in a row, one on each side, instantly slapped this exquisite second young lady of the Xie Family into a pig's head. Many people in the crowd sighed at the sight. Such a fine beauty would probably have a disfigured face for some time.

"I say, as a man, you should have had enough by now!"

Not far away, a young girl dressed in fox fur was approaching with small, quick steps. The girl looked rather noble, and her appearance somewhat resembled Xie Ting's, though she did not have Xie Ting's outwardly displayed meanness and barbarity. Seeing that Lin Yan did not seem to have any intention of stopping, the young girl was glaring angrily at him.

"Sister!"

The moment she saw the young girl appear, Xie Ting's eyes immediately reddened, and she cried out.

"Xie Yingying of the Xie Family." When the young girl appeared, Lin Yan guessed her identity. She was said to be the most outstanding member of the Xie Family's younger generation now, Xie Yingying.

However, he did not take her to heart. Leaving aside the countless proud talents in the future Hundred Empires War, even within the Great Yan Dynasty, people like Xie Yingying could not be called as common as carp crossing a river, but she still did not count as any sort of genius. It could only be said that the narrow region of Qingyang Town had limited people's understanding.

"You are Lin Yan, yes? What you did just now was very improper. Sometimes, recklessness may make your family pay the price." Xie Yingying's autumn-water-like eyes stared at Lin Yan. Within her calm voice, there was a trace of anger and coldness.

"Oh, is that so? Recklessness may bring me disaster, but I know that this disaster definitely won't be you or the Xie Family behind you, because you don't have the strength." Lin Yan released Xie Ting and looked at Xie Yingying's graceful figure before him as he sneered.

If this had been Lin Dong, perhaps he would have spoken some grand principles and the like, but Lin Yan had an extremely pragmatic nature. To put it plainly, it was that the Xie Family simply did not have the qualifications.

At these words, never mind Xie Ting, the second young lady of the Xie Family who was already extremely furious at Lin Yan; even Xie Yingying, the eldest young lady of the Xie Family who had always been steady and elegant, could not help but feel anger surge upward at this moment.

Lin Yan's words were clearly naked contempt for the Xie Family!

However, although Lin Yan's words were sharp, they were the truth. Hearing them, many people around them nodded slightly. The Lin Family had developed extremely quickly over these years. Although they had not crossed hands with the Lei and Xie Families, anyone who knew some of the inside story understood that the Lin Family's strength was actually not much worse than either the Lei Family or the Xie Family.

If the two families joined hands, they would indeed be stronger than the Lin Family, but Mad Blade Martial Hall, which was likewise a dominant power in Qingyang Town, would not allow such a thing to happen. After all, once the Lei and Xie Families dealt with the Lin Family, their next target might be them.

Therefore, all along, the four great powers had maintained this faint balance. As for anyone saying they would destroy another, that seemed rather childish.

Thus, faced with Lin Yan's blunt words, Xie Yingying did not know how to continue.

"Mm, well said. Then, I wonder, what if my Lei Family is added in?"

Just as Xie Yingying was left speechless, a cold shout suddenly rang out. Immediately after, a figure leaped directly down from the second floor. That tall, upright body made all the younger generation present feel a kind of pressure.

"Lei Li!"

Looking at the tall man in fitted martial attire, the expressions of Qingtan, Lin Xia, and the others who had just arrived instantly changed. They hurriedly swarmed behind Lin Yan, worry in their eyes.

"Big Brother Lei Li!" Those from the Xie Family were overjoyed upon seeing this person, and Xie Ting even cried out happily.

"Oh, so this is Lei Li, the one called the number one among Qingyang Town's younger generation in the original work?"

Lin Yan thought to himself. He turned his head and fixed his gaze on that figure. The newcomer looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. His body was tall and straight, and his appearance was rather handsome. Along with the confident smile brimming on his face, he clearly had a charm that other members of the younger generation did not possess.

However, to Lin Yan, this was obviously no capital for arrogance.

"Yingying, leave this to me." Lei Li looked at Xie Yingying with a gentle gaze and smiled.

"Mm." Seeing Lei Li, Xie Yingying also smiled faintly. When she looked at Lin Yan again, a shallow curve could not help but appear at the corner of her lips.

"You are Lin Yan, right? I agree quite a bit with what you said earlier. However, you first need to understand that if not for Mad Blade Martial Hall acting as a check, the Lin Family would have long since been driven out of Qingyang Town like homeless dogs." Lei Li looked coldly at Lin Yan and said.

"Drive out my Lin Family? Heh, my Lin branch family only came to Qingyang Town to stay temporarily. You frogs at the bottom of a well have probably never even heard of the reputation of the Great Yan Dynasty's four great clans. How could sparrows know the ambitions of swans? A mere Qingyang Town is not even worthy of my Lin Family's regard." Lin Yan laughed disdainfully.

"What a glib-tongued brat..."

Lei Li's eyes narrowed slightly. His originally calm face was already burning with anger at this moment. The dignified number one genius of Qingyang Town had been called a frog at the bottom of a well, yet he was unable to refute it.

Of course he had heard of the Lin Family, one of the four great clans of the Great Yan Dynasty. Such a colossus was an existence that he simply could not come into contact with. And this Lin Family of Qingyang Town was one of the branch families of the Lin Clan Main Family, so they naturally had the confidence to look down on these local bumpkin tyrants.

His fists clenched lightly, and crackling sounds came from between his bones. Lei Li looked at Lin Yan with anger all over his face and said, "Well said, but you are nothing more than trash driven out by that Lin Clan Main Family. Today, I want to see what qualifications you have to look down on me, this 'frog at the bottom of a well'!"

Hearing Lei Li's words, Lin Xia and the others' expressions immediately changed. It was said that Lei Li had long since stepped into the Body Tempering Ninth Level and was already preparing to break through to the Earth Origin Realm. At this moment, even if Lin Yan had displayed the strength of the Body Tempering Eighth Level, he still could not contend with Lei Li.

"Oh, who is looking down on my Lin Family?"

However, just as the Origin Power within Lei Li's body began to circulate, a calm yet extremely steady voice rang out. A figure jumped down from a nearby pavilion and walked straight into the field.

"Cousin Lin Dong."

Seeing who had come, Lin Xia and the others were slightly startled. Then they smiled and went up to welcome him, while Lin Yan, looking at Lin Dong's manner, thought that the Stone Talisman Spirit Liquid had probably already been sold for quite a good price. This fellow's gains aren't any smaller than mine.

"Cousin Lin Yan, I have troubled you to look after Qingtan."

Lin Dong had already asked about what had happened while he was outside. He was also extremely satisfied with Lin Yan's handling of it. Leaving Qingtan with him had indeed been a choice he would not regret.

Lin Yan stroked the obedient-looking Qingtan beside him and smiled. "This is what I should do. Even if the sky collapsed and the earth split apart, I would not allow Qingtan to be hurt or wronged.

"But some people are rather tactless. My Lin Family has stood in Qingyang Town for so long, yet we are still being squeezed out and bullied."

Hearing this, Lin Dong looked at Lei Li, his brows furrowing slightly. Then he turned his head and smiled. "What, Cousin Lin Yan, are you afraid?"

"Afraid? That doesn't exist. I just don't know whether you, Cousin Lin Dong, will back down."

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Dong's mouth. Although the two of them were usually busy with their own cultivation, how was that not also a kind of secret contest? Neither wanted to be surpassed by the other. Now, facing a great enemy from outside, they instead cooperated in tacit understanding.

The luster of Origin Power flowed over his body. Along with this aura, Lin Dong's cultivation at this moment was astonishingly also at the eighth level!

Lin Xia, Lin Hong, and the others at the side immediately covered their mouths in surprise. Then they looked at Lin Yan again. These two freaks—less than two months had passed since the Clan Competition, yet both had broken through to the Body Tempering Eighth Level. They were truly monstrous.

The passersby watching from the side were even more shocked. Although they had heard of the Lin Family Double Heroes, they had never seen them. Now that both heroes had arrived together, neither was inferior to the other. Was the Lin Family truly about to rise greatly?

Lin Yan, at the side, was not surprised at all. Instead, a sense of excitement surged in him, as if he had crossed time and space to see the future moment when the two of them would stand together at the peak of the continent.

At this moment, Lei Li's expression opposite them was extremely gloomy. The Lin Family Double Heroes—at first, he had not taken them seriously. As the number one genius of Qingyang Town, he had his own pride.

But now, looking at the calm and composed Lin Yan and the spirited, confident Lin Dong, only at this moment did he know that the two geniuses who had risen from the Lin Family indeed lived up to their reputation.

Yet the more this was so, the more killing intent surged in Lei Li's heart. The Lin Family Double Heroes—if they were not suppressed early, then in time, perhaps the Lei and Xie Families would be utterly defeated and destroyed.

"The Lin Family Double Heroes, is it? Today, I want to see who is truly the hero of Qingyang Town!"

Bang!

Lei Li clearly did not intend to give Lin Yan and Lin Dong any time to refuse. Therefore, the moment his words fell, Origin Power surged all over his body. His foot stomped fiercely on the ground, and he appeared directly before Lin Yan and Lin Dong. On both palms, dense light rapidly surged, actually forming an oppressive momentum like Mount Tai crushing down, making pallor rush onto the faces of Lin Xia and the others.

"Third-grade martial art, Mount Tai Overturn!"

Seeing this scene from the side, Xie Yingying immediately covered her mouth in surprise. She had not expected Lei Li to use such a killing move right from the start. Did he really intend to completely fall out with the Lin Family?

As a mere woman, she naturally did not know the thread of worry in Lei Li's heart. If the Lin Family Double Heroes were not eliminated, there would no longer be any place for the Lei and Xie Families to stand in Qingyang Town in the future.

"Move back!"

At this moment, seeing Lei Li attack like lightning, the eyes of Lin Yan and Lin Dong also focused. Their backs slammed heavily into Qingtan, Lin Xia, and the others, jolting them all backward.

Next, Lin Yan and Lin Dong quickly exchanged a look. Although neither said anything, the two clearly understood each other's meaning. That was: go all out and fight!

Lin Dong's expression grew solemn. His hands slowly formed a complicated hand seal in front of him.

As this hand seal was formed, faintly, it was as though a special aura spread outward.

Lin Dong's hand seals rapidly changed. In the short span of several breaths, he consecutively formed several complex seals. And as his seals changed, the Origin Power Seed within the meridians in his body also flowed out with an unending stream of Origin Power at this moment, swiftly surging toward Lin Dong's palm.

"Mysterious Imprint!"

As the light in Lin Dong's palm grew increasingly intense, a sharp shout suddenly came from his mouth. His hands, which had formed the complicated seal, fiercely charged toward Lei Li.

On the other side, as if echoing Lin Dong's movement, Lin Yan also rapidly formed seals with both hands. In the next second, a Flame Giant Wolf several zhang tall instantly appeared above his head, carrying the ferocious and terrifying aura of a wolf king.

"Fire Departure Skill, Wolf Thrust!"

As the words fell, this Flame Giant Wolf, together with Lin Dong's Mysterious Imprint, violently collided with Lei Li's Mount Tai Overturn.

Lin Family Double Heroes vs. Qingyang Town's number one genius.

Seeing this battle immediately caused everyone present to cry out in surprise. The three of them were actually all using third-grade martial arts. One had to know that these were something only Earth Origin Realm experts could fully unleash.

For a time, the three people's reputations as geniuses were once again praised by the crowd. Among them, the Lin Family Double Heroes drew the attention of even more people. No one had expected that these two, who had risen like comets, would actually have reached the point where they could clash head-on with Qingyang Town's number one genius.

At this moment in the field, the killing moves containing each person's fierce wind of force finally collided abruptly under everyone's tense gazes. An invisible wave of air spread outward, stirring up clouds of dust and blocking everyone's vision.

Amid everyone's impatient waiting, the smoke and dust slowly settled. At this moment, they saw an unbelievable scene.

Lin Family Double Heroes stood there. Although their clothes were damaged and their bearing was no longer intact, their faces still radiated calm and confidence. On the other side, Lei Li's originally tall and handsome figure now looked as if he were a scorched beast, blackened all over and giving off the aroma of roasted meat.

The most eye-catching thing was the wound on his chest. Clearly, it had been caused by a powerful seal technique. Facing the combined killing moves of Wolf Thrust and Mysterious Imprint, Mount Tai Overturn had clearly been utterly defeated.

Lin Family Double Heroes vs. Lei Li.

The Double Heroes won!
