Mad Blade Martial Hall

"The Lin Family Double Heroes actually won..."

Looking at Lei Li, who had been blasted until he was pitch-black, the younger generation of both the Xie Family and the Lin Family had shock surging in their eyes. Lei Li's reputation in Qingyang Town was not weak. According to many people's guesses, in at most another half a year, he would likely be able to break through the Body Tempering Ninth Level and advance into the Earth Origin Realm. At that time, the Lei Family's strength would rise once again because of it.

Among the younger generation of Qingyang Town, Lei Li was the undisputed number one. Yet today, this so-called number one had actually been stopped by the Lin Family's two Double Heroes, who were even younger than him. This made quite a few people's eyes nearly pop out.

Although it had been two against one and was somewhat an unfair victory, the speed at which the Lin Family Double Heroes had risen, and the strength they possessed, left people with no doubt that one day, the Lei and Xie Families would be trampled beneath the Lin Family's feet.

Xie Yingying and Xie Ting's expressions also abruptly changed at this moment. A grave look even surfaced in the former's eyes. These Double Heroes of the Lin Family, who had only recently risen to prominence, actually possessed such formidable ability. The third-grade martial arts the two of them had displayed were things even she had yet to master.

Xie Yingying's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately forced herself to calm down. No matter what, Qingyang Town was still the domain of the Lei and Xie Families. No matter how monstrous the Lin Family Double Heroes were, for the time being, they still could not affect the overall situation.

However, at this moment, she also sensed the urgent feelings Lei Li had had earlier. The threat posed by the Lin Family Double Heroes was too great. If they were not removed soon, perhaps in the future, there would no longer be any place for the Lei and Xie Families in Qingyang Town.

Thinking this, Xie Yingying hurried to Lei Li's side and quickly supported him. At this moment, because of the Flame Giant Wolf's burning, Lei Li's entire body had turned pitch-black. Even a large patch of his hair had been scorched, and there were still residual Yuan Power fluctuations from the Mysterious Imprint on his chest. Fresh blood continuously poured from it, instantly turning Lei Li, an originally handsome and dashing young man, into an incomparably destitute beggar-like figure.

"Brother Li, are you all right?" Xie Yingying supported Lei Li with her pair of jade hands and asked worriedly.

"No need to help me. I'm fine." At this moment, how could Lei Li still have his earlier grace? He shoved away the delicate young lady beside him and staggered upright, displaying the last of his stubborn pride.

However, although the combined killing move of the Lin Family Double Heroes was quite powerful, Lei Li was clearly no pushover either. Though he looked wretched, the flames had only damaged his outer appearance. As for the wound on his chest, with his strength at the Body Tempering Ninth Level, he could still withstand it.

At this moment, Lei Li's face was completely black. Only his blood-red eyes were like those of a crazed wild beast as they stared ferociously at Lin Yan and Lin Dong.

He thought of himself as the dignified number one genius of Qingyang Town, regarded as a heaven's chosen since childhood, yet today he had actually lost to two newly risen brats from the Lin Family. How could he possibly swallow this anger?

His palms slightly curled, and Lei Li seemed like an injured wild beast. His voice was low, but the anger in it could not be hidden as he said, "I was wondering why you were so arrogant. So it turns out you Lin Family Double Heroes do have some ability. However, next, the two of you may not have that kind of good luck!"

As his voice fell, one could see that an intense, swelling luster had actually risen over Lei Li's claws. Yuan Power fluctuations also spread outward. Judging from this, clearly that previous move had not been his strongest ability.

As the biological grandson of the Lei Family's clan head, the Lei Family's, and formerly Qingyang Town's, number one genius, Lei Li's status in the Lei Family was not something ordinary people could compare with.

Not only were all kinds of cultivation resources provided to him first, he had even practiced one of the Lei Family's two great ultimate arts, the fourth-grade martial art Thunderbolt Light.

However, with his current strength, he could still use third-grade martial arts, but even if he barely displayed a fourth-grade martial art, it would bring an enormous burden upon his body and might even damage a portion of his foundation.

However, to the current Lei Li, these things no longer counted for much. If the Lin Family Double Heroes were not removed, he would never be able to walk out of this shadow for the rest of his life. For this, even if he had to pay a certain price, it would be worth it.

Seeing Lei Li's actions, the joy that had just surfaced on Lin Xia and the others' faces because of the Lin Family Double Heroes' performance instantly faded. Judging from this, Lei Li seemed to be about to use his trump card.

By comparison, Lin Yan and Lin Dong at the side had much calmer expressions. Between the eighth level and the ninth level, the gap was indeed very large. Moreover, with the Lei Family's foundation, the grade of Lei Li's trump-card martial art should not be low. It might even very likely reach fourth-grade martial art. The Body Tempering Ninth Level combined with a fourth-grade martial art meant his combat strength might not lose to that of a true Earth Origin Realm expert. If they really fought, victory or defeat was truly hard to predict.

However, Lin Yan and Lin Dong exchanged a glance and smiled in tacit understanding, because both of them saw the blazing battle intent in the other's eyes. In this battle, even if Lei Li could win, it would be a miserable victory!

Seeing the atmosphere in the field become tense and explosive once again drew even more people over. They watched the two sides confront each other with great interest, also very much wanting to know whether these Lin Family Double Heroes, who had recently emerged within the Lin Family, could truly defeat Lei Li, a young genius who had made his name earlier...

Lei Li's palm slightly curled, and as he stared at the Lin Family Double Heroes, a bloody look gradually surged into his eyes. The Lei Family could be considered the faction with the deepest foundation in Qingyang Town, so when facing a faction like the Lin Family, an outsider household and upstart at that, he had always somewhat looked down on them in his heart. But he had never expected that the Lin Family would suddenly produce two geniuses, Lin Yan and Lin Dong, whose strength and talent were not inferior to his own at all, and who even made Lei Li extremely wary.

If the Lin Family Double Heroes were not removed, his Lei Family would never know peace.

"Heh heh, this place really is lively..."

However, just as the Yuan Power in Lei Li's body began circulating rapidly, a discordant laugh suddenly rang out. Then over ten figures leaped down from a pavilion at the side and walked straight into the field.

The dozen or so people who appeared were also youths around sixteen or seventeen years old. They were all wearing the same clothes, and on the chest of their garments was a design embroidered with a large saber that seemed to dance like a wild gale.

"Mad Blade Martial Hall."

The moment Lin Yan and Lin Dong saw these people, they were slightly startled. From that design, they recognized their identities. They were precisely from Mad Blade Martial Hall, which stood alongside the Lei and Xie Families in Qingyang Town.

At the very front of that group of unruly-looking youths was a slightly lean youth. The youth's palms appeared astonishingly broad, covered with calluses and scars, clearly caused by frequent saber training. At this moment, this youth first cast a sidelong glance at the wretched Lei Li, then gave Lin Yan and Lin Dong a thumbs-up in admiration and said with a smile, "You two are the Lin Family Double Heroes, right? To actually force Lei Li into this state—impressive."

"Wu Yun, this is between me and the Lin Family Double Heroes. Mind your own business!" Lei Li looked at the grinning youth. No expression could be seen on his pitch-black face as he shouted coldly.

"If I don't mind a little business, wouldn't you people start treating Qingyang Town as your own home?" Wu Yun rolled his eyes and laughed mockingly. Judging from his manner, he clearly was also extremely at odds with Lei Li and the others.

"Heh heh, Lei Li, if you like fighting so much, how about I play with you?" As soon as his laughter fell, Wu Yun suddenly stared at Lei Li with a somewhat heated gaze, licked his lips, and said.

The appearance of the Lin Family Double Heroes had not only overshadowed Lei Li's limelight, it had even covered up his title as the number one genius of Mad Blade Martial Hall. Thus, he also wanted to take this chance to announce his own position.

Hearing this, Lei Li's expression immediately darkened. It was not that he could not beat Wu Yun. It was just that this person had always been famous for being shameless, and he loved fighting as much as his own life. Once a fight started, it would go on without end, just like a madman. Therefore, even for him, under normal circumstances, he really did not want to fight this fellow.

Moreover, the Lin Family Double Heroes were still watching like tigers at the side. Originally, he had only wanted to rely on the fourth-grade martial art Thunderbolt Light to finish them in one blow, but with Wu Yun's meddling and pestering, that plan instantly became unrealistic.

"Wu Yun, Big Brother Lei Li simply doesn't want to fight with you. Is pestering people shamelessly the style of your Mad Blade Martial Hall?" Xie Yingying said angrily.

"I don't know whether it's the style of Mad Blade Martial Hall, but this is indeed my style. If you have an opinion, you can bring it up with me, though I definitely won't accept it." Facing the anger in Xie Yingying's words, Wu Yun nodded quite seriously and said.

Xie Yingying bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, her cheeks turning slightly bluish. Today, truly nothing had gone smoothly. First, she encountered Lin Yan, whose words were sharp and left no face, and now she had run into a rogue-like person. This also filled her heart with anger.

Hearing this, Lin Yan looked at Wu Yun with interest. This fellow did have a bit of a humorous personality.

Lei Li's face also twitched, his expression extremely gloomy.

"All right, I say, you little fellows have caused enough trouble. You should each go back. This place still has business to do."

Just as the tense atmosphere had been thrown into disorder by Wu Yun, a helpless voice also came from the pavilion. Everyone raised their heads and saw a middle-aged man staring down at them from above. Behind him followed a group of fierce-looking burly men.

"That's the manager of this Trading Fair. His name is Wang Jin, and he's an expert of the Earth Origin Realm," Lin Xia said from behind Lin Yan and Lin Dong. At this moment, her heart also let out a sigh of relief. Since this person had stepped forward, it seemed this farce should come to an end.

Seeing Wang Jin appear, Lei Li's brows tightly furrowed. Immediately, he gave a muffled snort, knowing that he could not make a move smoothly today. He could only disperse the Yuan Power fluctuations in his palm, glare fixedly at Lin Dong and Lin Yan, and say ferociously, "You're lucky today. But don't worry. Once the hunt arrives, things won't be resolved so simply then."

"Also, Wu Yun, during the hunt, I'll let you fight to your heart's content too. When the time comes, just don't hide..."

As his voice fell, Lei Li finally let out a cold laugh, then turned and left with Xie Yingying and the others. During this period, as long as he waited until he broke through to the Earth Origin Realm, at that time, even if the Lin Family Double Heroes and Wu Yun attacked together, he would be able to deal with them casually.

Watching Lei Li's departing back, Lin Yan and Lin Dong exchanged a glance, both slightly narrowing their eyes. The corners of their lips lifted into a faint curve. The hunt, was it? It actually made the two of them feel a little expectant...
