"Good. You scared me half to death just now."
Lin Dong patted his chest, still a little shaken.
He looked toward the Lei Family and Lin Family men locked in battle and asked, "Then, Brother Chen, what should we do now?"
"We'll control these Lei Family men first, then go help Third Uncle get rid of those two Heavenly Yuan Stage experts. We absolutely can't let the news from Ironwood Manor get out!"
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, he rushed out.
In his hand was already a grade-two Refined Iron Longsword.
In an instant, streaks of sword light appeared there.
Each flash of sword light meant a Lei Family man let out a scream and collapsed to the ground, unable to get back up.
The sight made Lin Dong swallow.
"This... is killing?"
Blood sprayed, screams rang out without end, blades and swords clashed, and a murderous aura filled the air.
The old Lin Dong had never seen a scene like this before.
He saw a Lin Family man get ambushed and take a slash across the back. Though he had still been hesitating, he instantly clenched his fists and charged straight in.
The Lei Family's oppression of the Lin Family had gone on for a long time.
The enmity between the two families would never see a day of resolution.
In this cruel world, either you killed others, or others killed you!
Having grasped this brutal law, Lin Dong held nothing back when facing enemies, every punch striking flesh.
Pa pa pa pa pa—Nine Resonances Tong Bei Fist kept ringing out amid the crowd.
With Lin Chen and Lin Dong leading the charge like two sharp blades, it did not take long before the Lin Family forces had taken all the remaining Lei Family men under control.
Lei Nuo and Lei Ying, who were fighting fiercely atop the city tower, saw the situation inside Ironwood Manor and were so furious their tempers flared sky-high.
Especially when they saw Lin Chen, who had just been shouting that the wine was poisoned, actually kill so many Lei Family guards in the blink of an eye, they became even more enraged and roared:
"Lin Chen! Our Lei Family will kill you!"
Lin Xiao's face darkened, and he shouted coldly:
"Before that, you'd better worry about your own safety!"
At this moment, he no longer held back either.
Since the other side had already set their sights on Lin Chen, the two of them could not be allowed to return to the Lei Family.
Otherwise, it would be a huge disaster for the entire Lin Family.
Only by controlling all the Lei Family men and sealing off the news, making the Lei Family temporarily unaware of where the problem lay, would the Lin Family have enough time to make preparations.
That way, even if the Lei Family was furious, they would not dare come and fight to the death with the Lin Family and Mad Saber Martial Hall after already losing two Heavenly Yuan Stage experts.
"Lei Nuo, we're leaving!"
Lei Ying had already sensed Lin Xiao's dense killing intent. If they truly continued fighting him like this, with the condition of the Yuan Power inside their bodies, they simply could not afford to drag it out.
No one knew whether the Lin Family had any other Heavenly Yuan Stage experts hiding nearby.
For safety's sake, they could only retreat first!
"Lin Xiao, take this palm!"
A huge Yuan Power palm slammed fiercely toward Lin Xiao.
After Lei Nuo did this, he immediately fled toward Qingyang Town with Lei Ying without looking back.
The matter of Ironwood Manor had to be reported to the Lei Family patriarch, Lei Bao, as quickly as possible, and they had to join forces with the Xie Family to encircle and annihilate the Lin Family forces at Ironwood Manor.
"Damn it!"
Lin Xiao looked at Lei Nuo and Lei Ying flying off into the distance and angrily flicked his sleeves.
Now, they could only take control of Ironwood Manor as quickly as possible and send the news back to the Lin Family.
Lin Xiao soon arrived inside Ironwood Manor. When he saw that the Lin Family forces had already finished the battle and that there had been no deaths, he felt somewhat relieved.
However, when he saw Lin Dong maintaining order at the scene while Lin Chen's figure had already disappeared, he could not help asking:
"Dong'er, where is Ah Chen?"
He had not drunk the poisoned wine, but the other party had drained it in one gulp.
He still remembered that pained appearance even now.
"Brother Chen said his stomach hurt a little and told us to handle Ironwood Manor's matters first, without worrying about him."
A worried expression also appeared on Lin Dong's face. That poisoned wine had been specially prepared by the Lei Family to poison Heavenly Yuan Stage experts to death; for someone at the Earthly Yuan Stage, it was truly extremely harmful.
"All right. If anything happens, notify me at once."
Lin Mang thought for a moment and could only guess that the so-called poisoned wine was actually a laxative.
He swept his gaze around and immediately ordered:
"Before nightfall, put Ironwood Manor completely under control. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave Ironwood Manor!"
The most urgent task right now was to seal off the news and take complete control of Ironwood Manor.
Using this place as their stronghold, they would prepare to clash head-on with the people the Lei Family sent to encircle them.
At the same time, he still needed to send word back to the Lin Family.
If the Lei Family learned of the situation at Ironwood Manor, they would immediately reveal the matter of the poisoned Hongmen banquet, seizing the moral high ground and striving for the support of Mad Saber Martial Hall and the other forces.
That way, perhaps the Lei Family and Xie Family would not dare act rashly.
Moreover, inside Ironwood Manor, there were surely still plenty of handles on the Lei Family that had not been cleaned up.
Since that was the case, they naturally had to make use of this opportunity.
Ironwood Manor was simply far too important to the current Lin Family.
This special ironwood was enough to let the Lin Family reach the Lei Family's scale within the next five years!
On the necessary road from Ironwood Manor to Qingyang Town, atop a mountain peak, a fiery-red figure had already arrived.
"Tiger Mom, stop here."
Lin Chen flipped down from the Heavenly Yuan Stage Demonic Beast Fire Python Tiger. The other party's injuries had long since recovered over the past half month.
Thanks to the help of the Spirit Liquid, her strength had already improved noticeably.
Only with the astonishing speed of the Heavenly Yuan Stage Demonic Beast Fire Python Tiger could Lin Chen rush here ahead of time from Ironwood Manor and make preparations to intercept and kill the enemy.
"You go back into the Azure Dragon Ring Small World first. I can handle this alone."
After spending these days together, Lin Chen was already able to communicate with her mentally and knew that she wanted to stay and fight at his side.
But he believed his own strength was already sufficient, and there was no need to make the Fire Python Tiger take this risk.
If she got hurt, how would she take care of the two Tiger Cubs?
The Fire Python Tiger nodded, and after a flicker of green light, she returned to the Azure Dragon Ring Small World.
"Lei Nuo and Lei Ying?"
Lin Chen silently took out his Green Lotus Sword and put on a black cloak, covering his body and appearance.
When traveling outside, it was more appropriate to be cautious.
Who could guarantee that when these two died, they would not have some special method capable of letting the Lei Family in Qingyang Town know?
Under normal circumstances, they would not, but he feared accidents.
If these two early Heavenly Yuan Stage Lei Family experts were simply allowed to return, then for the Lin Family, it would truly be a problem.
And for Lin Chen, he would also face every kind of assassination from the Lei Family.
Rather than that, he might as well come here directly.
Lin Chen looked around and hid himself in the crown of a large tree.
This was the only road they had to take. Lei Nuo and Lei Ying would definitely never know that someone was actually here to block their path and intercept them.
The key to an ambush was to end the enemy with the strongest power and fastest speed, then clean up the scene and run as quickly as possible.
In any case, there was no need to fear dead men learning his ultimate moves.
What surprised Lin Chen a little was the Fire Python Tiger's speed, especially her speed in these mountains and forests. It was truly somewhat fast.
Only after waiting for a very long while did he finally see two figures rushing over from afar in great haste.
Lin Chen noticed the two wild horses beneath Lei Nuo and Lei Ying, and immediately understood.
So they had gone halfway to get themselves mounts.
Without the wild horses, a half-day journey would probably have taken a full day.
"That Lin Xiao's strength really is formidable. Even with the two of us brothers joining hands, we actually couldn't force him back."
Riding a wild horse, Lei Nuo slapped the horse's head, making it behave, then began complaining.
"Lin Xiao is at the middle Heavenly Yuan Stage, while we're only at the early stage. With that kind of gap, it's normal. The most important thing is that the Yang Gang Qi he absorbed is a little higher in quality than ours, so naturally his strength is a few notches stronger too."
As Lei Ying spoke to this point, Lin Chen's figure surfaced in his mind, and he said sharply, "But that Lin Chen has a huge problem. Given time, there will definitely come a day when he reaches the Core Formation Stage. He'll definitely become a massive threat to the Lei Family. After we return this time, we'll apply to the clan head to immediately encircle and annihilate the Lin Family, uprooting them completely!"
Lei Nuo nodded repeatedly and echoed, "Right, right. We must kill them to eliminate future trouble!"
Only, very soon, the sound of their conversation came to an abrupt halt.
Five meters ahead of them, a black-clothed man holding a sword had suddenly appeared!
Killing intent spread in this instant!
