"Ah Chen, what are you doing here?!"
A moment ago, Lin Xia had still been wondering how she should deal with the attack from the Xie Family juniors led by Xie Ting.
Now, with Lin Chen and the others arriving, the urgent crisis was finally resolved.
Most importantly, the moment he arrived, he gave Xie Ting a show of force and avenged the slap Lin Xia had taken earlier when she was caught off guard.
"Qing Tan said you'd come to browse the Trading Fair. We happened to be passing by when we heard you arguing, so we came over to see what was going on."
Lin Chen looked at the faint red mark on Lin Xia's cheek, and a discomfort stirred in his heart.
These days, if you hit someone, you didn't hit the face.
When he looked at Xie Ting again, his gaze had turned much colder.
Some people really were tired of living.
Did they actually think that in Qingyang Town, the Lei Family and Xie Family could cover the sky with one hand?
"Sister Xia, your face..."
Qing Tan came to Lin Xia's side and reached out, touching her cheek with deep distress.
She took a little medicinal salve from her clothes and applied it to Lin Xia's cheek.
At the same time, she did not forget to say angrily, "These Xie Family people are truly hateful!"
Hearing this, Lin Xia sighed, then looked at Lin Chen and Lin Dong in front of her and reminded them, "Ah Chen, Cousin Lin Dong, that Xie Ting is at Body Tempering Stage Eight. Be careful."
Lin Chen nodded slightly. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Is Xie Yingying here?"
If she was, then he might as well take care of her too.
"Who? Who was it?!"
Xie Ting, whose head was still buzzing from the slap, stood up from the pile of stones with disheveled hair, her face swollen red and her eyes wide with fury. A shrill, piercing cry suddenly rang out.
She never would have imagined that she would be sent flying by someone's slap.
And worse, it had happened while she was surrounded by so many Xie Family juniors.
Xie Ting had been spoiled and pampered since childhood. When had anyone ever treated her like this?
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Xie Ting saw Lin Chen standing in front of Lin Xia, wooden sword in hand, and immediately knew he was the enemy who had attacked her just now. She hurriedly shrieked.
However, with the strength Lin Chen had displayed just now, how could those Xie Family juniors dare step forward?
Hadn't they seen that even Xie Ting, at Body Tempering Stage Eight, had been taught a lesson to this extent? Who wanted to follow in her footsteps?
"A bunch of useless trash!"
This scene made Xie Ting so furious that she grabbed the yellow-clothed youth beside her and said coldly, "Xie Zhen, go tear that guy's head off. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!"
A dense killing intent spread out at that moment.
Originally, she had only wanted to make the Lin Family juniors lose face.
But now, she wanted all these people to remain here!
"Yes..."
Xie Zhen swallowed, then walked somewhat nervously to the front of the Xie Family juniors. Staring at Lin Chen, he shouted coldly, "You bastard, surrender at once! Otherwise, the only thing waiting for you is death!"
Lin Chen smiled, patted Lin Dong on the shoulder, and said calmly, "Little brother, you go. As for how hard you hit, no need to hold back too much."
Since the Xie Family juniors wanted to stir up trouble, then he would let the matter get bigger.
Only then could certain people change their idea that the Lin Family was so easy to bully and make sure they remembered the lesson well.
"No problem, Brother Chen."
A cruel smile also appeared on Lin Dong's face. When dealing with enemies, he would not be softhearted.
A cold gleam flickered in his eyes.
"Heh, I'm an expert at Body Tempering Stage Seven!"
At that moment, the yellow-clothed youth Xie Zhen heard Lin Chen and Lin Dong's conversation. He felt deeply looked down upon, and it enraged him. He immediately charged toward Lin Dong.
Since the other party wanted to step forward, then he would start with Lin Dong!
Bang!
Their two fists collided, unleashing a powerful gust of force.
Immediately after, they saw the yellow-clothed youth Xie Zhen let out a miserable scream, and his whole body flew out like a kite with its string cut, slamming heavily into the wall.
"Xie Zhen!"
Xie Ting, who had still been hoping the other side could avenge her, could not help crying out when she saw this.
"Damn it! Take this!"
Another Xie Family junior at Body Tempering Stage Seven was beside himself with rage. He immediately charged out, intending to seize this chance to sneak-attack Lin Dong and knock him to the ground.
However, Lin Dong did not even turn his head. He simply kicked him straight in the chest.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream rang out across Gravel Square once more.
When Xie Ting saw this Xie Family junior follow in Xie Zhen's footsteps as well, fear appeared on her face for the first time.
Clearly, Lin Dong was at Body Tempering Stage Eight!
Originally, the Xie Family juniors had been able to crush the Lin Family juniors.
But with Lin Chen and the others' arrival, that situation had changed in an instant!
"You—you people are awfully bold!"
Putting on a fierce front while inwardly panicking, Xie Ting pointed at Lin Chen and Lin Dong and shouted angrily, "My sister is right here. If you dare touch us, it won't be as simple as getting beaten up!"
If only Lin Xia had been here, the other side would probably have swallowed their anger and left for the sake of the Lin Family juniors with her.
But Lin Chen was here too. How could they possibly be afraid of Xie Ting's threat?
Besides, some people still seemed to show no remorse, and had no idea where they had gone wrong...
"Little brother, keep going. I want to see all of them lying on the ground!"
Lin Chen had no intention of making a move. With Lin Dong's cultivation, dealing with these Xie Family juniors before them was simply effortless.
"Got it!"
Lin Dong charged out without the slightest hesitation. Pa pa pa pa pa pa! A continuous series of explosive Tong Bei Fist cracks resounded across Gravel Square.
Every explosion meant someone had been blasted away.
When it reached the ninth resonance of Nine Resonances Tong Bei Fist, Lin Dong gave an angry shout and threw a heavy punch straight into Xie Ting's stomach.
"Ah!"
The sharp, miserable cry of pain made the surrounding onlookers, who were watching the show, shudder despite themselves.
Who could have imagined that Xie Ting, the proud young lady of the Xie Family from moments ago, would become this bruised and swollen mess in the blink of an eye?
"This—this Lin Family junior really can bring himself to do it."
"Yeah. When Xie Yingying and Lei Li and the others get here later, I'm afraid however satisfying this beating is now, that's how miserable it'll be for him then!"
"What I meant was, he actually turned such a delicate girl into a pig's head. He really can bring himself to do it."
"..."
In the blink of an eye, not a single Xie Family junior on Gravel Square was still standing. Every one of them was curled up on the ground in pain.
When Lin Dong struck, he was not considerate enough to think about whether the force of his punch would make someone bleed.
If they dared lay hands on the Lin Family juniors, they should have been mentally prepared to taste this bitter fruit!
Seeing this, Lin Chen asked Lin Xia at just the right moment, "Sister Xia, do you feel better now?"
If not for Xie Ting ambushing Lin Xia and slapping her, they would never have refused to leave the Xie Family even a shred of face. A few lessons would have been enough; they would not have offended them to the death like this.
"I do. I feel amazing. I've never felt this good before!"
Lin Xia looked at Xie Ting, who was groaning in agony on the ground, and thought of her earlier arrogance, looking down her nose at everyone, and how she had kept finding fault with the Lin Family while Lin Xia had been unable to do anything about it. With such a huge reversal now, she suddenly felt much better.
If taking a slap meant Xie Ting could end up this miserable, then she definitely wanted to... Uh, there was really no need.
Lin Xia hurriedly threw the thought to the back of her mind, then said gratefully, "Ah Chen, Cousin Lin Dong, if not for you, we would have been beaten up. Thank you!"
Lin Chen's expression turned slightly more serious as he reminded her, "Sister Xia, don't be so polite. We're all part of the Lin Family. Whoever dares attack the Lin Family, then no matter how far away they are, they must be punished!"
