Lin Tianci's Rage, Crippled on the Spot! (Fourth Update!!)
This aura alone gave Lin Shan a fright.
He had never seen Lin Tianci reveal such a terrifying side before.
Just this aura made it hard for Lin Shan to breathe. He quickly turned around and led Lin Tianci and Qing Tan toward the place where the conflict had broken out.
"Everyone had been training hard lately, so we originally agreed to come to the Marketplace today to relax. But we ran into those bastards from the Xie Family."
"We didn't want to bother with them and planned to head back after looking around. But when Sister Lin Xia was buying something, they kept causing trouble and mocking her.
"Sister Lin Xia couldn't take it anymore, so she made a move..."
"It was like the Xie Family had come prepared. A lot of people suddenly appeared from nowhere and surrounded us. The one leading them was named Xie Ting. She's the Xie Family Eldest Daughter, Xie Yingying's Younger Sister, and she's at the Body Tempering Seventh Layer.
"When the chaos broke out earlier, they relied on their numbers and superior strength to slap Sister Lin Xia while everyone was distracted..."
As they walked, Lin Shan slowly recounted the entire sequence of events to Lin Tianci.
"Xie Ting, was it?" Hearing that Lin Xia had been slapped, how could Lin Tianci, her ge, possibly endure it? A towering killing intent immediately erupted from his eyes.
"The Xie Family is just too hateful." Even Qing Tan could not help chiming in, clearly furious.
"Lin Shan, pick up the pace. If we're one second late, I'll give you a day of Special Training when we get back!" Lin Tianci glanced at Lin Shan.
Lin Shan hurriedly nodded, circulated the Origin Energy within him, and increased his speed by several degrees.
Deep within the Marketplace lay a rather spacious little square, ringed by small shops.
The shops here were clearly far more upscale than those along the streets outside.
This was considered one of the more high-end areas of the Trading Fair. Spirit Medicine, weapons, and Demonic Crystals from demonic beasts could be seen everywhere. Even Third Grade Martial Arts had appeared here before!
Of course, their prices were naturally beyond what ordinary people could afford.
Those who could come here all had a certain status in Qingyang Town. The Lin Family and the Xie Family naturally counted among such people.
At that moment, two groups stood facing off in the center of the square.
Not far away, quite a few people had gathered around the edge of the square, watching the scene within curiously.
After all, conflicts in the Marketplace were not something one saw every day. And when it involved the Lin Family and the Xie Family, two clans that had always been at odds in Qingyang Town, it was even more worth watching.
"The Xie Family clearly came prepared this time. They brought three or four people at the Body Tempering Seventh Layer alone," someone said.
"Exactly. I'd say the Lin Family's foundation is still too weak. They only have two Body Tempering Seventh Layer cultivators here. They're no match for the Xie Family at all."
"The Lin Family Juniors are in trouble this time. The Xie Family might just crush them so thoroughly they'll never recover."
Since both the Lin Family and the Xie Family were major powers in Qingyang Town, the crowd merely watched. No one stepped forward to mediate.
After all, offending either side would probably lead to no good end.
While the crowd discussed the matter, the two groups were also locked in a fierce confrontation.
Though they were not particularly old, the aura they unleashed was still exceptionally intense.
"Lin Xia, I was the one who spotted that bracelet first. I advise you to hand it over obediently. Otherwise, you may walk in here, but you'll be carried out."
The leader of the Xie Family group was a gorgeously dressed Brocade Clad Young Girl. Surrounded by the crowd, she stood proudly, her tall and slender figure fully displayed. A hint of mockery hung on her fair oval face, while her slightly thin lips gave her a sharp, mean-spirited look.
"The items in this Marketplace belong to whoever pays first. Besides, I bought it. If I gave it to you, would you even deserve it?"
Lin Xia stood opposite Xie Ting, likewise surrounded by the Lin Family Juniors, with a cold smile on her face.
However, there was now a faint red mark on Lin Xia's originally fair cheek. Clearly, it had been left during the earlier clash.
And the one responsible for that mark was Xie Ting, standing before her.
After saying that, Lin Xia threw the pure white bracelet in her hand onto the ground and viciously stepped on it.
Under her powerful stomp, the gems set into the bracelet were slightly deformed, while the originally pristine white bracelet was stained with dirt.
Then, with an indifferent kick, Lin Xia sent the bracelet rolling to Xie Ting's feet.
"Only a bracelet I've stepped on is worthy of you."
Lin Xia also understood that this so-called bracelet had no practical use. It was merely an accessory.
And what Xie Ting wanted was naturally not an accessory. She simply wanted to seize this chance to viciously suppress the Lin Family Juniors.
Such things had happened before, but both sides had remained relatively restrained back then. They had only exchanged verbal barbs and never actually come to blows.
Xie Ting raised her brow and looked at the filthy necklace by her feet, her expression immediately darkening.
"What a stubborn temper, Lin Xia. It seems it'll be a little difficult for you to leave today."
"Xie Ting, do you intend to provoke a conflict between our two families?!" Lin Wei, standing beside Lin Xia, shouted angrily. His clothes were equally disheveled, clearly showing that he had also suffered greatly in the earlier dispute.
"It's only a squabble between juniors. If your skills are lacking, I doubt the elders will have much to say. Besides, the only reason your Lin Family can still survive in Qingyang Town is because my Xie Family cannot be bothered to spare you a glance."
Xie Ting's expression did not change as she spoke casually.
"The person we let go earlier was called Lin Shan, I believe. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have found reinforcements by now. But Brother Lei Li happens to be nearby today."
Hearing this, Lin Xia and the others' expressions changed.
"Sister Ting, why waste words with them? Just cripple them directly. Let's see how the Lin Family can continue surviving in Qingyang Town once they have no successors."
A Yellow-clothed man standing beside Xie Ting gave a strange laugh, looking at Lin Xia and the others with ill intent.
His gaze was like that of someone looking at meat on a chopping block.
"Attack!" someone from the Xie Family shouted.
Then, one member of the Xie Family charged straight forward.
Meanwhile, Xie Ting and several other Body Tempering Seventh Layer cultivators targeted Lin Xia and Lin Wei.
Lin Wei was only at the Half-step Body Tempering Seventh Layer. He was already at a disadvantage one-on-one, let alone facing four opponents with just two people.
The other Xie Family Juniors also rushed forward in a swarm.
Lin Xia took a deep breath. It seemed blood would be spilled today.
Boom!
At that moment, the Xie Family Junior who had shouted for them to attack was sent flying.
A large hole had appeared in his chest. Before he even hit the ground, all life had already left him.
This sudden turn of events greatly shocked Xie Ting and the others, bringing them to a halt.
"Who is it?!"
Xie Ting and the others turned their gazes, only to see a figure standing directly between the two groups.
"Ge!" Lin Xia cried in delight when she saw him.
